1:03
Speaker 1: It's definitely too that morning. I gotta walk in and
1:05
Speaker 1: deal with Drake's number one fan, DJ Drammo's first thing,
1:08
Speaker 1: first thing in the morning. Lord ha Mercy, it's funny.
1:12
Speaker 1: I'm listening to y'all argument. I had the same argument
1:15
Speaker 1: with Dogan last night, the same that's all. Just listening
1:19
Speaker 1: to y'all is it a generational thing, what it might be? Argument? Well,
1:25
Speaker 1: for me, it was Logan told me that Drake is
1:26
Speaker 1: the best artist ever, and I told that it was
1:29
Speaker 1: jay Z. And we went back and forth about records,
1:32
Speaker 1: We went back and forth about influence, We went back
1:34
Speaker 1: and forth about time out. You gotta be specific. You
1:39
Speaker 1: can't just say artists, because when y'all start talking like that,
1:42
Speaker 1: then that's when I tell everybody to shut the f
1:44
Speaker 1: up forever because you discredited in The Princess and the
1:47
Speaker 1: Michael Jackings when I yes, yeah, yeah, So I had
1:54
Speaker 1: that argument last night. So hey, you guys argue about that.
1:56
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a larus because I just
1:58
Speaker 1: had that argument with Logan last night. Listen. One thing
2:00
Speaker 1: I will not say is that you can't you can't
2:03
Speaker 1: not have Drake in that conversation. And I'm not gonna
2:05
Speaker 1: sit here and say he shouldn't even belong in the conversation.
2:07
Speaker 1: It's definitely in the conversation, right. But Luka didn't grow
2:10
Speaker 1: up listening to jay Z like in the era that. No,
2:13
Speaker 1: he didn't, but he knows whole Yeah, he knows whole songs.
2:16
Speaker 1: He knows he knows Drake songs. He knows the impact.
2:18
Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time. And no disrespect
2:21
Speaker 1: to Drake, but it's I can't put jay Z in
2:24
Speaker 1: Drake's category or in Kanye's category. That is me. Once
2:27
Speaker 1: you have a writer, it's totally Drake. Drake is definitely
2:32
Speaker 1: you can put definitely argue Drake and Kanye because Kanye
2:34
Speaker 1: got writers too, like you put them in the same category,
2:37
Speaker 1: but somebody who doesn't have it. And also I also
2:40
Speaker 1: tell my son, like jay Z was from a hustler's mentality,
2:42
Speaker 1: it's from I came from Queens. I wanted to get
2:45
Speaker 1: out of Queens, and he kind of felt like he
2:47
Speaker 1: wrapped my life. You know. Drake is he doesn't wrap
2:49
Speaker 1: from that that that place. He wraps from his own
2:54
Speaker 1: personal experiences. My son relates to my son relates to
2:58
Speaker 1: Drake more than he relates to Jake. That's listen. Drake
3:01
Speaker 1: is great, Okay, the number two, the number three songs
3:06
Speaker 1: in the country, which I'm sure we'll talk about later
3:09
Speaker 1: on in the show. Correct he can still gets busy.
3:11
Speaker 1: But it just I don't know that you really here
3:13
Speaker 1: the two of them. I don't know that you could
3:14
Speaker 1: really compare them who I don't know because I just
3:19
Speaker 1: felt like it's the music has evolved so much, how
3:21
Speaker 1: we listen to music has evolved, streaming, numbers, all of it.
3:25
Speaker 1: So what are we talking about? We're talking about music?
3:26
Speaker 1: Are we talking about numbers? See? That's what that's where
3:28
Speaker 1: the lines get blurred. I's it's our perspective. It's who
3:32
Speaker 1: you personally like. If Logan grew up listening to Drake,
3:35
Speaker 1: that's personally who he likes. That's what he relates to.
3:37
Speaker 1: Then to him, that's the best. Yeah, yeah, I because
3:45
Speaker 1: because one thing I'm tired of y'all doing also too,
3:47
Speaker 1: is discrediting that young man from La named Kung Fu
3:50
Speaker 1: Kenny okay, who's been dominant for the past decade, but
3:53
Speaker 1: just because he takes breaks and sometimes it's out of sight,
3:56
Speaker 1: out of mind. That's why I can't wait till he drops.
3:57
Speaker 1: So we can everybody can start the West Coast licking again,
4:00
Speaker 1: because it's going to happen. It's a different category. It's
4:03
Speaker 1: not rap rap rapp. This is what we do. We
4:09
Speaker 1: are We just bait rappers. Okay, there was the time
4:11
Speaker 1: where you argued about who the best them see was
4:13
Speaker 1: Biggie jay Z and nah, you argue Biggi in Biggie
4:16
Speaker 1: in poc. Now you're arguing that Drakes and still talking
4:18
Speaker 1: about Jay in the conversation and the Kendricks. Okay, it happens. Correct. Well,
4:22
Speaker 1: last night was last Name was dating that. I know
4:25
Speaker 1: you don't care, but last night was the season finale
4:27
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. How's your So you watched that? Over
4:31
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets versus the New York Knicks. I went
4:34
Speaker 1: back and forth and Nets, what what we're crushing the Knicks.
4:36
Speaker 1: So I was able to go back and forth. But
4:38
Speaker 1: the game got very closer to n seventeen one twelve. Yes, yeah,

Speaker 1: is j Envy, Angela, Guie Charlomagne the guy. We are
6:08
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news where
6:13
Speaker 1: were starting me, Well, let's start with the Biden administration.
6:16
Speaker 1: They're planning to launch a COVID nineteen vaccine promotion campaign,
6:20
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty million dollar ad campaign, and
6:23
Speaker 1: that's aimed at people here who are hesitant to get
6:26
Speaker 1: the vaccine. So they said, the government is going to
6:28
Speaker 1: be doing advertising on TV, radio, billboards, print and digital media.
6:33
Speaker 1: They're also doing a podcast posted by a well known
6:36
Speaker 1: person outside of the government as well, in order to
6:39
Speaker 1: encourage people to get the vaccine, because, according to a
6:41
Speaker 1: new CNN Paul they said, more than twenty five percent
6:43
Speaker 1: of Americans don't intend to get a COVID vaccine. Well,
6:47
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking anyone who was taking the vaccine. I'm
6:49
Speaker 1: not an anti vaxer at all. But you know, no advertising,
6:52
Speaker 1: a podcast is going to be able to build up,
6:54
Speaker 1: you know, a trust in a matter of months, because
6:58
Speaker 1: this is sent treason injuries of years of distrust, especially
7:02
Speaker 1: when it comes to the institution in the medicals, through
7:04
Speaker 1: racism in the medical institution. Well, according to health officials,
7:07
Speaker 1: eighty percent of Americans need to be vaccinated to keep
7:10
Speaker 1: the virus from spreading. So that's why it's important and
7:13
Speaker 1: right now it's spring break and US air travel has
7:16
Speaker 1: had a pandemic high as a lot of people are
7:19
Speaker 1: going to sunny features. It's trying a party, they said.
7:22
Speaker 1: On both Friday and Sunday, more than one point three
7:23
Speaker 1: million people were screened at airports by the TSA, and
7:26
Speaker 1: that's the most since coronavirus has hit travel a year ago.
7:30
Speaker 1: And they be acting like black people don't have valid reasons,
7:33
Speaker 1: you know, and not to trust the vaccine. And then
7:37
Speaker 1: when you ask them, okay, well why should I trusted
7:39
Speaker 1: based on all the years and years of racism in
7:42
Speaker 1: the medical system towards black people, watch it I trusted.
7:44
Speaker 1: They just look at you stupid, like, oh, there's a
7:46
Speaker 1: crap shoot, Like you said, it is a crap shoot.
7:48
Speaker 1: We just don't know. I mean, you heard people die.
7:50
Speaker 1: And the first thing they say is they took the
7:51
Speaker 1: vaccine shot. And it could be true. It can't be.
7:53
Speaker 1: We just don't know how anything affects the body. We
7:55
Speaker 1: don't know if you catch COVID, how it affects your body.
7:57
Speaker 1: I know people who were fine and didn't even know
7:59
Speaker 1: when I know people that were damn neil and ventilators.
8:01
Speaker 1: You know, same thing with the vaccine. You just don't know,
8:04
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't know. I took the crap
8:07
Speaker 1: shoot me personally because I move around, I travel, so
8:10
Speaker 1: I'd rather have, you know, be more protective. But you
8:12
Speaker 1: just don't know, all right. A family in Indianapolis says
8:16
Speaker 1: an argument over stimulus check is what led to four
8:20
Speaker 1: people getting killed a quadruple murder, and called her a child. Yes,
8:24
Speaker 1: the shooting took place, yeah, on Saturday. So the suspect,
8:27
Speaker 1: Malik Halfacre, he approached giannetris More about his belief that
8:32
Speaker 1: he should get half of her stimulus check. She has
8:34
Speaker 1: two young daughters, one of them is with Malik, and
8:37
Speaker 1: a cousin of Moore said that he wanted some of
8:41
Speaker 1: her tax money and stimulus money. She said, according to
8:44
Speaker 1: a conversation that she heard, she said, you don't deserve
8:47
Speaker 1: any of this. I work, I take care of our child.
8:49
Speaker 1: You don't do anything. He said, I really want half.
8:51
Speaker 1: She said, I'll give you four fifty take it or
8:52
Speaker 1: leave it. And he said, I'm gonna get that money.
8:54
Speaker 1: So then he waited outside of her home, and he
8:56
Speaker 1: said Jennetris said, he gave her an evil look and
8:59
Speaker 1: then he walked off and then he came back and
9:01
Speaker 1: demanded to know where the money was. He went through
9:03
Speaker 1: her purse and then they said at that point he
9:05
Speaker 1: shot and killed four people. The dead people were identified
9:08
Speaker 1: by the family as Genetus's seven year old daughter Eve,
9:12
Speaker 1: her twenty three year old brother de Quan, her forty
9:15
Speaker 1: four year old mother to Mika Brown, and her thirty
9:17
Speaker 1: five year old cousin, Anthony Johnson's Genius. Herself was also
9:20
Speaker 1: wounded in her other who she shares with Malik, has
9:23
Speaker 1: been reported missing, and now Malik is on the run. Well,
9:27
Speaker 1: prayers up for that family, sending the remaining surviving members
9:31
Speaker 1: of that family healing energy. But I'm gonna tell y'all something, Man,
9:34
Speaker 1: if you're killing people over the fourteen hundred dollars stimulus check,
9:37
Speaker 1: you can't afford to go to jail. Now you in
9:39
Speaker 1: jail with a bond, that's crazy if you get one
9:42
Speaker 1: at all, like you can't like, well, you got to
9:44
Speaker 1: think about these things before you make these these permanent
9:47
Speaker 1: decisions based off temporary feelings. Yeah, he killed four people.
9:50
Speaker 1: I don't think he can get even fourteen hundred, right,
9:55
Speaker 1: I guess he wanted the whole thing, but over fourteen
9:57
Speaker 1: hundred hours. He would a part of it. I think
9:58
Speaker 1: he just would part. I don't think he wanted to
9:59
Speaker 1: hold I've been in four fifty. She offered him four fifty,
10:02
Speaker 1: and he said, no way. She takes care of the child.
10:04
Speaker 1: Why would I give you the whole stimulus check You
10:06
Speaker 1: can't even afford to go to jail. All right, well

16:21
Speaker 1: and let's talk about Drake this morning and his historic
16:24
Speaker 1: debut with scary hours too. Pretty sure you cheated. We're
16:28
Speaker 1: talking about it enough that hey, Charlottage just hey, congratulations
16:35
Speaker 1: to that man. All right, we'll get to the next
16:38
Speaker 1: The breakfast club aboarding Geese, the breakfast club morning. Everybody
16:45
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are
16:48
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's go right,
16:55
Speaker 1: I like is the Rumor Report with Angela Ye on
17:00
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Well, Drake's the latest Scary Hours installing Scary
17:07
Speaker 1: Hours two has made chart history. He is the first
17:11
Speaker 1: artist to ever debut three tracks simultaneously in the top three.
17:15
Speaker 1: So congratulations to him. Okay, let's get to Drake. Let's
17:19
Speaker 1: stay here for a second. I have thoughts. I have
17:23
Speaker 1: three thoughts, Okay, one of them number one. First off,
17:27
Speaker 1: congrats to Drake dropping a clue box with Drake that
17:29
Speaker 1: as an incredible feat. I asked the question a few
17:32
Speaker 1: months ago, and the question was simply, are we still
17:34
Speaker 1: in a Drake era when you're number one, two and
17:36
Speaker 1: three on the charts. I think that answers your question
17:39
Speaker 1: when it comes to screaming, When it comes to radio,
17:41
Speaker 1: he's still the guy that top three may not reflect
17:43
Speaker 1: what's happening in the clubs are in a slightly younger demo,
17:46
Speaker 1: but he's still the guy in regard to the radio
17:47
Speaker 1: and screaming. Yeah. Did you ask the question or did
17:49
Speaker 1: you make a statement? No question? No, I didn't. Okay,
17:52
Speaker 1: I ask the question. I never made that statement. The
17:54
Speaker 1: internet is a liar. I never said Drake fell off. Okay,
17:57
Speaker 1: I actually said Drake is Drake, so I expect numbers
17:59
Speaker 1: on the board one, two, and three is unreal. This
18:01
Speaker 1: is my second thought, by the way, but uh, you know,
18:04
Speaker 1: screaming and radio manipulate the game in ways we've never seen.
18:06
Speaker 1: But we forget all that, all right, Believe this is
18:12
Speaker 1: a statement. The pressure is really on for Drake right
18:14
Speaker 1: now because the three pack is dope, and I like
18:16
Speaker 1: the energy at the three pack. Okay, the energy Drake
18:19
Speaker 1: had on Lemon Pepper when he was killing that talk.
18:24
Speaker 1: These days famous disconnected from excellence Half the time, I
18:26
Speaker 1: gotta ask in words what their profession is usher in
18:29
Speaker 1: a generation and these are way my confessions. Live bars
18:32
Speaker 1: dropped on a clues bomp for those bars. That was incredible.
18:35
Speaker 1: But the pressure is on because with certified love a boy,
18:38
Speaker 1: I'm expecting an undeniable body of work. When I think
18:40
Speaker 1: of the greats like the Holes and the Nazis and
18:43
Speaker 1: the little ways these guys were giving us classics much
18:46
Speaker 1: later in their career, whether it was the Blueprint, still
18:48
Speaker 1: Mad at Card to three, I'm expecting the level of
18:50
Speaker 1: project from Drake at this I'm expecting that level of
18:53
Speaker 1: project from Drake at this point. This I think we'll
18:55
Speaker 1: get that. I think we'll get that this time around.
18:57
Speaker 1: What I've been hearing from Drake in the last couple
18:59
Speaker 1: of songs but releasing is I've enjoyed these last three,
19:02
Speaker 1: these last three and even when with Dirk, even one
19:05
Speaker 1: with Dirt particular, it's cool, it's cool, but those four.
19:09
Speaker 1: But it's a new decade. He had a decade of
19:10
Speaker 1: dominance in the twenty tens. Now it's time to plan
19:13
Speaker 1: a flag for a new decade. Make a real statement.
19:15
Speaker 1: That's my second thought and my third point since nine points.
19:20
Speaker 1: My third point on Drake's storage feet being number one,
19:23
Speaker 1: two and three in the country is simply this. He cheated.
19:27
Speaker 1: He cheated something, all right. Don't let the hard cut
19:34
Speaker 1: in his head fool you. Aubrey Graham is a demon
19:36
Speaker 1: who doesn't play fair. He cheated. I can't prove it.
19:39
Speaker 1: I have nothing to back this. No, it might just
19:42
Speaker 1: be pure I hate no, No, I'm not standing on
19:45
Speaker 1: nothing with this. I just think he cheated him Baca,
19:47
Speaker 1: not nice pop con. They cheated. Don't let the nice
19:50
Speaker 1: Canadian ting fool you. Okay, I recognize the demon when
19:53
Speaker 1: I see one, excellent. I want him drug tested for
19:56
Speaker 1: performance enhancing. I need to see Drake's bur certificates. Drake, well,
20:02
Speaker 1: congrats and the song he did once He Needs with
20:05
Speaker 1: a Little Baby is Little Baby's highest charting song yet.
20:08
Speaker 1: It's a six top ten on the Hot one hundred
20:10
Speaker 1: drop on a clue bums for Drake Levin Pepper Freestyle
20:14
Speaker 1: is woman Pepper freestyle, but all jokes aside. The pressures
20:18
Speaker 1: offer certified love a boy only only because he's Drake,
20:22
Speaker 1: he set, he set the ball for himself. So I'm
20:24
Speaker 1: expecting an undeniable classic which certified love a boy. That's
20:28
Speaker 1: what I That's what I want, and I'm sure that's
20:31
Speaker 1: what he's aiming for right he has no choice. And
20:33
Speaker 1: as this news broke, Drake was hanging out with bow Wow,
20:37
Speaker 1: and that is somebody who has really opened doors for him.
20:40
Speaker 1: Here is Drake and bow Wow. I didn't know how
20:42
Speaker 1: it's to bring in one, two three. I had you know,
20:44
Speaker 1: we don't come on man, we Georgia. I want to
20:47
Speaker 1: call into your local station as I want to thank
20:50
Speaker 1: you man. I love it. Thank y'all, I love it.
20:56
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. When you make history and
20:57
Speaker 1: you got the number one, number two three song in
20:59
Speaker 1: the country. You go and you pay homage to your oldgs,
21:02
Speaker 1: dropping the clues bombs with Drake paying homage bow with you?
21:07
Speaker 1: Now you know what I was partying with bout Wow
21:08
Speaker 1: last two weeks ago and I was in the landing
21:11
Speaker 1: to grow up the battle. You need to grow up, Wow,
21:14
Speaker 1: you need to grow up. But I don't know what
21:16
Speaker 1: you No. It was you know Mono, the guy that
21:20
Speaker 1: taught me how the DJ was spending. And when I
21:22
Speaker 1: was in the land, I went to go visit him.
21:23
Speaker 1: It was bow Wow's birthday party. You need to up, Drake,
21:27
Speaker 1: and you're like, Wow, he was you just need to
21:31
Speaker 1: grow up. Mono's my guy. He told me how the
21:33
Speaker 1: DJ he could be whatever. But yeah, I love the
21:36
Speaker 1: fact that he paid homage though, slut respect your oldgs. Now,
21:39
Speaker 1: you just need to connect with soldier boy, that's your
21:41
Speaker 1: old gut up. Is really showing more respect to bow Wow? Yeah, No,
21:46
Speaker 1: I had to link with Whistle. Everybody everybody wants to
21:49
Speaker 1: have drinks and everybody wants to celebrate and turn up. Well,
21:54
Speaker 1: I just had to see Whistle. That's that's why it
21:58
Speaker 1: wasn't for you. That wouldn't be no me, And that's
21:59
Speaker 1: why I'm a more dropped on the cluth bomb from Drake.
22:03
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Pay homage to your old cheese.
22:08
Speaker 1: You know when I worked at UP, when I worked
22:12
Speaker 1: at Serious and I had that don't quit your day job,
22:14
Speaker 1: and Drake was on before he got signed, people were
22:15
Speaker 1: calling in telling him he sounded like bow wow, and
22:18
Speaker 1: he was like, man, thank you, thank you. So I
22:21
Speaker 1: guess early on, I don't think that ever happened. I
22:24
Speaker 1: would never disrespect I'm not disrespecting Bawa. I just don't
22:27
Speaker 1: think that ever happened. The audio is on the internet. Yeah,
22:30
Speaker 1: I've gotta hear that. That's it. Yeah, you can hear
22:32
Speaker 1: it all right now. Twenty one. Savage just starring in
22:35
Speaker 1: a Louis Vaton Men's summer capsule collection campaign, so congratulations
22:40
Speaker 1: to him. Looks good and Virgil posted breaking news twenty one.
22:44
Speaker 1: Sabbathe and Code thinking Different and moving assets Louis Vaton
22:48
Speaker 1: Material twenty twenty one. I love what these brands are doing.
22:51
Speaker 1: I mean, I love that. I wish that we would
22:53
Speaker 1: own more of our own lines, but the fact that
22:55
Speaker 1: these brands are finally breaking bread with with the people
22:58
Speaker 1: that are influenced, whether it's Dapper Day and whether it's Gucci,
23:01
Speaker 1: whether it's Louis Vatton, whether it's Virgil or what he's doing,
23:04
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, twenty one does more for Lloyd
23:06
Speaker 1: than Louis does for twenty one. That's my opinion, I think.
23:09
Speaker 1: So check the word though. Harry just got a Grammy's
23:16
Speaker 1: Oscars Twofer and she says it changed her life. So
23:20
Speaker 1: she picked up an Oscar nomination for her song fight

24:32
Speaker 1: Let's get into some front page news. Where we starting you, Well,
24:38
Speaker 1: let's start with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. They are
24:41
Speaker 1: set to face each other in the ring, according to
24:44
Speaker 1: multiple media outlets, and according to ESPN, they have signed
24:48
Speaker 1: a contract to meet in a pair of matches expected
24:50
Speaker 1: to take place in twenty twenty one. I'm believing when
24:52
Speaker 1: it hapnis. They still are looking for a site and
24:55
Speaker 1: they're still looking for the money, said. According to WAS
25:00
Speaker 1: promoter Eddie Herney said that our parties have now put
25:03
Speaker 1: pen to paper and we will be working hard over
25:05
Speaker 1: the next few weeks to confirm the site and date
25:07
Speaker 1: for the biggest fight in boxes. Yeah, they're looking for
25:09
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars plus site. I don't know where
25:13
Speaker 1: they're going to find that during this pandemic. I really don't.
25:18
Speaker 1: They say the Middle East point. I mean, I don't
25:20
Speaker 1: know all right now, speaking of this pandemic, a concerning
25:25
Speaker 1: variant is about to become dominant in the United States,
25:28
Speaker 1: according to experts, and they are also saying how we
25:31
Speaker 1: act now could help fuel or curb assert So some
25:34
Speaker 1: people are worried. Experts are worried that some Americans are
25:37
Speaker 1: letting up too early. And it's a very critical time
25:40
Speaker 1: as people are easing COVID nineteen restrictions in different states
25:44
Speaker 1: because of improving trends and growing vaccination numbers. But at
25:48
Speaker 1: the same time, a lot of people are traveling right now.
25:50
Speaker 1: We already told you earlier for spring break, a lot
25:53
Speaker 1: of people have been going to Florida and other sunny regions.
25:56
Speaker 1: All of this while cases of a dangerous variant are
25:59
Speaker 1: on the right, and that is a variant that was
26:02
Speaker 1: first identified in the UK. So they said safety measures
26:05
Speaker 1: will be especially crucial. Right now. They're saying that this
26:08
Speaker 1: particular variant is highly transmissible, so it is a lot
26:12
Speaker 1: more transmissible than other ones, and it's also more deadly
26:16
Speaker 1: than other coronavirus variants, So people cannot ease up on
26:19
Speaker 1: wearing their masks and social distancing and not gathering indoors.
26:25
Speaker 1: So just giving y'all that morning, I don't know what
26:27
Speaker 1: that means. Yeah, they don't think going to shut the
26:29
Speaker 1: country back down though, But I don't know what it means. Like,
26:31
Speaker 1: what is that? So is the virus is here? You
26:34
Speaker 1: said it's here? What did they say? They've identified it
26:37
Speaker 1: in forty eight different states already, So when they say
26:39
Speaker 1: it's about to be dominant, what does that mean? Like,
26:43
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like it's spreading pretty quickly because
26:45
Speaker 1: it's highly transmissible. So they're saying by the end of
26:48
Speaker 1: this month or early April, they are projecting the way
26:51
Speaker 1: that it's spreading, because it's highly contagious, it will become
26:54
Speaker 1: the dominant variant. Is it deadlier? Because I know that
26:56
Speaker 1: there was there was other variants that were super contagious.
26:59
Speaker 1: What they not as dead one as deadly? Is it
27:01
Speaker 1: is it deadlier or as deadly or what is it?
27:04
Speaker 1: They said, the overall increased risk of death may be
27:06
Speaker 1: somewhat higher, around sixty one percent more than the strings.
27:10
Speaker 1: What about the vaccine is the vaccine does that fight
27:12
Speaker 1: it off? The good news is that vaccinations are ramping up.
27:16
Speaker 1: Experts are hoping that we'll be able to see some
27:18
Speaker 1: normality by the summertime. And so, yes, the vaccine is effective,
27:22
Speaker 1: and that's important. But what they're saying is, right now,
27:25
Speaker 1: just make sure you're still wearing your mask, You're still
27:28
Speaker 1: social distancing, still trying to remain outdoors and all of
27:31
Speaker 1: those things. You got the vaccine in your book bag.
27:34
Speaker 1: I got two different types of sea moss, you know
27:35
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. One is the gold that's for sexual

Speaker 1: You gotta name a whole lot more. You got football team,
29:16
Speaker 1: you gotta name a whole lot getting Jimmy do it
29:18
Speaker 1: a lot. I've been I've been trying to trying to
29:21
Speaker 1: figure out my hustle. I mean, you know, to be rich,
29:24
Speaker 1: you gotta do more than one thing. So I'm just
29:26
Speaker 1: trying to following the footsteps of those that came before me.
29:30
Speaker 1: Absolutely tell us about the cryptocurrency thing. I saw the coin,
29:33
Speaker 1: I was like, I feel not him to the cryptocurrency game. Um,
29:37
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency is dope. UM, the space just for uh, for
29:42
Speaker 1: the culture is dope. It's it's definitely like the wild
29:45
Speaker 1: Wild West when it comes to making money. UM. You know,
29:48
Speaker 1: you got the big coin and then you that's on
29:51
Speaker 1: his own thing, and then you have coins that they
29:53
Speaker 1: have on a theory and basis is like the next
29:55
Speaker 1: biggest platform for the cryptocurrency. UM. I was fortun enough
30:00
Speaker 1: to create my own coin, which is the capital coin
30:03
Speaker 1: on zap Theory platform. And zap Theory is actually on
30:07
Speaker 1: a theory m platform. So if you have ether right now,
30:10
Speaker 1: you can purchase the capital coin. Um, but in a
30:13
Speaker 1: few weeks you'll be able to purchase the capital coin.
30:16
Speaker 1: What's your actual credit card? And I've been doing like
30:18
Speaker 1: these little uh these little virtual parties and showing people
30:24
Speaker 1: how to get invested in the capital coin. And then
30:26
Speaker 1: you know, there's the other thing people have been talking
30:29
Speaker 1: about is NFTs, which is non fungible tokens, which is
30:33
Speaker 1: another big thing. Um, that's pretty much I call it
30:37
Speaker 1: like a digital baseball card if to make so people
30:41
Speaker 1: can understand it a little bit more gets a little
30:43
Speaker 1: bit more intricate than that, but the money is definitely
30:46
Speaker 1: for real, definitely serious. Um, It's probably the next biggest
30:50
Speaker 1: way you can make some money since the marijuana started
30:53
Speaker 1: becoming legal, and before that, I guess it was the
30:56
Speaker 1: dot com and before that like prohibition and with all
31:00
Speaker 1: the goal in America. So now cryptocurrency is the next
31:03
Speaker 1: thing up to for people to get rich and create
31:05
Speaker 1: a wealth word Jim NBC Like, I mean, you know
31:15
Speaker 1: what I mean. I've been studying, well, I've been learning
31:17
Speaker 1: about it. Usually when I get into something and I
31:20
Speaker 1: learned to understand it, I could flip it in a
31:21
Speaker 1: lot of different ways as anybody else. So these spaces
31:24
Speaker 1: and spaces I would like to be in. Plus, I
31:26
Speaker 1: always like to be at the custom of everything, or
31:29
Speaker 1: step ahead of everything, especially when it comes to the culture,
31:31
Speaker 1: because once the culture gets involved and it gets it
31:34
Speaker 1: comes commercializing is a good thing because it's a flood
31:36
Speaker 1: of money that comes o the way that we get
31:38
Speaker 1: to circulate. I have no idea what you're talking about,
31:41
Speaker 1: but I need to learn. Well, right now, you can
31:43
Speaker 1: take because you're the owner of your books, right you
31:45
Speaker 1: could take a picture of your book and sell as
31:48
Speaker 1: an NFT and somebody would have the only digital copy
31:52
Speaker 1: of the cover of your books and they're going to
31:55
Speaker 1: buy it for some change. Maybe we should do that together.
31:57
Speaker 1: You give me a chance. I can help you out
31:59
Speaker 1: with I'm with that hanging on your I phone. You
32:02
Speaker 1: take a picture of this book right here on your
32:04
Speaker 1: I phone. You did, and then they do they give
32:08
Speaker 1: it to the people with the zap zap theory that
32:10
Speaker 1: helps us out with doing all of and they put
32:12
Speaker 1: it up for sell of NFT. Charlemagne has a picture
32:16
Speaker 1: of us. And even though you can take a picture
32:18
Speaker 1: of every page on this motherfu sell it as a
32:20
Speaker 1: whole group and make it and then the whole book
32:23
Speaker 1: will go out all whatever pages to be out with
32:25
Speaker 1: different people. When people can start to try to acquire
32:29
Speaker 1: the whole book and out, then pretty soon the whole
32:31
Speaker 1: book of somebody have the whole book as an NFT
32:33
Speaker 1: that they own. That's like just as powerful as you
32:36
Speaker 1: being an author of the book. Then that would probably
32:38
Speaker 1: be worth all type of money. So so many things
32:40
Speaker 1: that you could do. Is no rules inside of this
32:42
Speaker 1: space as long as you understand how to be creative
32:44
Speaker 1: with making money and selling whatever it is. Yet you're
32:47
Speaker 1: selling from artists to music to you know what I mean.
32:51
Speaker 1: There's no like the owner of Scott Tissue could take
32:54
Speaker 1: a picture of the first Scott tissue and probably make
32:57
Speaker 1: a slow money and that. So it just depends to
33:00
Speaker 1: who you are. The more impressionable you are, the more
33:02
Speaker 1: success you have. Nine times to intend it's better for
33:04
Speaker 1: the sale of that NFT. Wow, So hey, we could
33:08
Speaker 1: take this interview and they get an NF and then
33:10
Speaker 1: just sell it like that and somebody we could cut
33:13
Speaker 1: it up a few different ways. So you don't just
33:14
Speaker 1: want to sell a whole thing as one NFT. You
33:16
Speaker 1: want to sell it a feud as a five different NFT.
33:19
Speaker 1: So then when you put it out in the space,
33:20
Speaker 1: somebody actually wants to acquire the whole thing as they
33:23
Speaker 1: own NFT and that becomes a money maker in itself,
33:25
Speaker 1: and then we'll get paid five different ways for splicing
33:28
Speaker 1: this UH interview up. Maybe we should do that too,
33:31
Speaker 1: since we're talking about it, what is Quarantine Studio? Explain
33:36
Speaker 1: to people a quarantine studio and how you maximize that.
33:38
Speaker 1: I actually I think I met one of your partners
33:40
Speaker 1: this weekend in UH Atlanta. Yes, yes, the virtue. It
33:46
Speaker 1: was trying to tell me how to do the interactive seminar.
33:49
Speaker 1: The virtual reality. Yes, we have a virtual reality company,
33:52
Speaker 1: you know with the goggles or you could just put
33:53
Speaker 1: it on your phone where you could go actually space. Um.
33:57
Speaker 1: But Quarantine Studios is made up of two parts. The
34:00
Speaker 1: first part was services for artists, I mean artists and
34:04
Speaker 1: people all alike him and I say services, I mean
34:06
Speaker 1: whatever a record label can offer to to anybody as well,
34:11
Speaker 1: we can offer to anybody from touch as DJs as
34:14
Speaker 1: dj VY was one of the few first few people
34:17
Speaker 1: who understood what I was trying to do and That's
34:19
Speaker 1: why I appreciate them for this helping me out. I
34:21
Speaker 1: think every dope too, man, because I was trying to
34:23
Speaker 1: get them trying to get a crib and I'm at
34:24
Speaker 1: your envy. I'm trying to get this crib right now.
34:26
Speaker 1: I need you to. He gave me some good people
34:28
Speaker 1: to help me out, so I appreciate that. But back
34:30
Speaker 1: to Quarantine Studios. So, whether you need a entertainment lawyer,
34:34
Speaker 1: a publicist, public administration, you need some DJ's to give
34:38
Speaker 1: you a drop, or you need some features from an artist,
34:42
Speaker 1: graphic design, whatever it is that your heart desire that
34:45
Speaker 1: you need something a service from out of this industry
34:48
Speaker 1: is where we could provide. Now on the flip side,
34:49
Speaker 1: there's a techie type platform that we created where I
34:53
Speaker 1: figured out how how to record music in real time
34:58
Speaker 1: in the virtual space with Danny zero latency, which is
35:02
Speaker 1: almost impossible for right now for people to pull off
35:05
Speaker 1: in the capacity that we do it. Now, there's people
35:07
Speaker 1: out there that do record like that, and shout outs
35:09
Speaker 1: to Drake and forty and the way they do they
35:12
Speaker 1: recording process. But this is a little bit iller um,
35:16
Speaker 1: not to say knocking anybody, but I figured out a
35:18
Speaker 1: dope way to really pull us off and would people
35:21
Speaker 1: be able to pay to watch come in the studio
35:23
Speaker 1: with me? Um Like he said, we got the virtual
35:26
Speaker 1: reality component where people could actually come into the space
35:29
Speaker 1: that we actually are recording the music out or whatever.
35:32
Speaker 1: Man um and it's dope. I recorded five albums. Shouts
35:35
Speaker 1: to Heat Made, Shout the hit Makers, Young Bird, shous
35:37
Speaker 1: the heat Maker's awesomeess. Shouts to Scram Jones, h souths
35:41
Speaker 1: to Harry Freud, the project of that dis trap. I
35:43
Speaker 1: still haven't met Harry Faud. Yes, I still haven't met
35:46
Speaker 1: Harry Fraud in person yet. Mean yes, Harry Freud and
35:51
Speaker 1: Harry Freud and John Sparks we were the collective group
35:55
Speaker 1: to create the tech, the techie component of Quaunching Studios
36:00
Speaker 1: to help me figure out that whole loop and how
36:01
Speaker 1: to record it and virtually so that we could create
36:04
Speaker 1: the album. And that was the first album that I
36:06
Speaker 1: did on Quarantine Studios. All right. We got on with
36:09
Speaker 1: Jim Jones when we come back, Don't Move. It's the
36:10
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Come Morning Morning, Everybody's DJ. Envy Angela Yee,
36:16
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy we are. The Breakfast Club was still
36:18
Speaker 1: kicking it with Jim Jones Charlomagne May. I'll be sitting
36:21
Speaker 1: back thinking, I wonder, if you think about it, how
36:23
Speaker 1: much money do you think y'all would have made? Like
36:26
Speaker 1: when y'all when dip set was putting out diplomats vaul
36:28
Speaker 1: On one at vaumb two three, if y'all had all
36:30
Speaker 1: these resources that y'all had on social media, yeah, oh man,
36:34
Speaker 1: we probably we'd probably be two. We've probably been bugged
36:37
Speaker 1: out already, he said, filthy rich. I mean, just no
36:40
Speaker 1: kids have now. I only wish I wish we had
36:43
Speaker 1: back then. I mean, you know, they got their pros
36:45
Speaker 1: and cons to everything, because the way we were living
36:47
Speaker 1: was definitely not to be recorded at that time. But
36:51
Speaker 1: for the entertainment purposes and the business purposes here this
36:54
Speaker 1: this where the catapulted us into iconic levels at at
36:57
Speaker 1: an early age, you know what I mean, because of
37:00
Speaker 1: the access that you have when it comes to the
37:02
Speaker 1: incident and social media. So are we getting are y'all
37:06
Speaker 1: working there? Because y'all, I see cam running around or
37:09
Speaker 1: we're gonna get another dip Set out and we were
37:11
Speaker 1: waiting for this tour. Is this the time to do
37:14
Speaker 1: it now? Yes, it's definitely the time to do it now.
37:17
Speaker 1: You know, Dwells not too far from me. Some all's
37:19
Speaker 1: over there. Bucking Jewell's has some incredible music right now.
37:22
Speaker 1: I've just been on his back to actually drop some
37:24
Speaker 1: of it. Some of the music shouts to Cam. Cam
37:26
Speaker 1: is at a great space in life right now. It's like,
37:28
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't know what's how they explain it,
37:32
Speaker 1: but just to see him being happy and being doing
37:35
Speaker 1: the things that he want to do and I following
37:37
Speaker 1: the crowd, and you know, it's just dope. And he say,
37:39
Speaker 1: you're ready to do music anytime, I'm ready, and you know,
37:42
Speaker 1: so as a collective effort, we definitely gonna come together
37:44
Speaker 1: and put this music together very soon. We got a
37:47
Speaker 1: couple of concerts coming up next month and a couple
37:49
Speaker 1: of the states that are opened up them spicy states.
37:52
Speaker 1: So that's pretty dope. They gotta let you control everything, though, Jim,
37:56
Speaker 1: because I've been saying that Jim has been making the
37:58
Speaker 1: best music out of New York's city for the past
38:01
Speaker 1: few years. That's a big statement, bro. I don't want
38:05
Speaker 1: these little trying to jump me damn by that. Why
38:09
Speaker 1: do you think you're not getting recognized for that though. Um,
38:13
Speaker 1: if I was worried about getting recognized for that, then
38:16
Speaker 1: I would be I'll be a dude during a disservice
38:19
Speaker 1: to myself. All of that's gonna come the same way
38:21
Speaker 1: that you recognize that trust and belief. Everybody else recognizes
38:25
Speaker 1: it too also. But to actually give a person its
38:28
Speaker 1: accolades out loud and and have to succumb to those
38:31
Speaker 1: facts that, Man, maybe this is the one. Maybe it
38:33
Speaker 1: takes a little bit more time, but I'm not gonna
38:35
Speaker 1: stop digging until that happens. I'm gonna keep making this
38:37
Speaker 1: incredible music. I don't I'm in the very dope spot
38:41
Speaker 1: in my life when it comes to making music. Um,
38:43
Speaker 1: probably one of the few they say that got better
38:46
Speaker 1: with time as a fan, and I'm loving it. Um
38:49
Speaker 1: got some more tricks up my sleeve. Um, I would
38:52
Speaker 1: listen to the radio show, and I appreciate everything that
38:55
Speaker 1: you've been saying when it comes to who I am
38:58
Speaker 1: as an artist and a businessman and the accumen that
39:00
Speaker 1: I put out there, Like that's dope. Like a lot
39:02
Speaker 1: of people wouldn't do that, especially not in your position,
39:04
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it's a very powerful
39:06
Speaker 1: position that you'll have up here as a collective. And
39:09
Speaker 1: just to even mention my name in a positive way,
39:11
Speaker 1: I mean it means that's big for you, know what
39:14
Speaker 1: I mean. But truth, But to mention my name in
39:16
Speaker 1: the way inside this business with people would have to
39:18
Speaker 1: start to do they due diligence something. Really, what I
39:21
Speaker 1: do is even bigger for me. So just a little
39:24
Speaker 1: comments like that soon or later gonna come around full circle. Well,
39:27
Speaker 1: I do believe somebody put me in a position so
39:30
Speaker 1: I could show the industry really what I could do.
39:32
Speaker 1: Would you ever take another job in the building? One
39:36
Speaker 1: hundred percent? When I took the job at the building,
39:38
Speaker 1: shouts to Kevin Lyle, shouts to Leo Cohen. They gave
39:40
Speaker 1: me one of the biggest opportunities I've had in my
39:43
Speaker 1: life when they came to being UM executive UM. And
39:47
Speaker 1: at that time, I was very young and didn't have
39:49
Speaker 1: nobody to show me exactly what I should be doing
39:53
Speaker 1: in my position as far as the responsible the responsibility
39:56
Speaker 1: I had. Yeah, I was creative and I knew how
39:58
Speaker 1: to pull talent, but to need to be in a
40:00
Speaker 1: full executive I didn't have it back then. And now
40:03
Speaker 1: where I'm at now, knowing that I had to get
40:05
Speaker 1: another opportunity as that one. I would smoke it like
40:09
Speaker 1: smoke the boots over because I know what I can
40:12
Speaker 1: I can do, and I know what I want to do,
40:13
Speaker 1: and I got my strength. Restrain is much different, my
40:16
Speaker 1: focal point is much different. So you know, we'll see
40:18
Speaker 1: what happens. What do you think you did wrong when
40:20
Speaker 1: you was an executive in that building? Uh, I would say,
40:27
Speaker 1: I guess I had a problem with authority and they
40:31
Speaker 1: put me in a position of a boss. But at
40:34
Speaker 1: that time, I was still kind of fresh out the
40:36
Speaker 1: street and I kind of did what I wanted to
40:40
Speaker 1: do and put me in a building. It was like
40:44
Speaker 1: taking an animal out the cage and put them in
40:46
Speaker 1: the middle of New York City. Um, so I didn't
40:50
Speaker 1: know how to gauge that. Yeah, I was bringing my
40:53
Speaker 1: outside into side the office and it wasn't mixing, and
40:57
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to separate the two. And now
40:58
Speaker 1: I got that, you know what I mean, where I'm not,
41:00
Speaker 1: I'm not in the same space I was before, and
41:02
Speaker 1: I definitely don't do the things that I've done when
41:04
Speaker 1: I was younger. So it's a perfect time for me
41:06
Speaker 1: to expand who I am as far as an executive
41:09
Speaker 1: using my mind in this industry to help make other
41:12
Speaker 1: people some stars out here, which I know I could
41:13
Speaker 1: do with some of the artists that that came through
41:16
Speaker 1: you that you knew could have been stars and if
41:18
Speaker 1: you had that opportunity, that opportunity with a sign them
41:21
Speaker 1: because so many had no artists passed through you. Let's see,
41:24
Speaker 1: Jay Cole used to be in my studio every day
41:27
Speaker 1: for the whole making a prey for rain and things
41:29
Speaker 1: like that, so you know I had access to him.
41:31
Speaker 1: I remember Alan calling me years and years ago, putting,
41:38
Speaker 1: let me hear this uh guy that sound like a nerd,
41:41
Speaker 1: but he was wrapping his ass off. His name was Drake,
41:43
Speaker 1: and he was asking me exactly what I should do
41:46
Speaker 1: with this kid. And then he told me the kid
41:48
Speaker 1: was an actor and he's on TV. And I ended
41:50
Speaker 1: up seeing the show he did. I was like, I
41:52
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell are we gonna do with
41:54
Speaker 1: this kid? But he can't he can wrap his ass
41:56
Speaker 1: off and shouts to Bobby and Rowdy and them boys.
42:00
Speaker 1: TRAVI used to bring them to the studio. So I
42:02
Speaker 1: had my hands in the mix of a lot of
42:05
Speaker 1: different things, not saying that I was trying to sign them,
42:07
Speaker 1: but just being able to be there at those pivotal
42:09
Speaker 1: moments for them, artists right before they who signed to
42:13
Speaker 1: dealing things like that. I know, I was able to
42:14
Speaker 1: help them understand a little bit more what this game
42:17
Speaker 1: is gonna be about and things like that, And that's
42:19
Speaker 1: what I'm here for. I always like to give people
42:20
Speaker 1: knowledge because they saying this games to be so not told.
42:23
Speaker 1: And I'm one of the few that put people up
42:25
Speaker 1: on game. How you how are you gonna make money?
42:28
Speaker 1: You did, like if there was only one person that
42:31
Speaker 1: kept the secrets to cooking up, then how was the
42:33
Speaker 1: rest of the hood gonna make money? You know what
42:35
Speaker 1: I mean? Like somebody had to tell it, and I
42:37
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure that I'm the person that
42:39
Speaker 1: telling some of these jumps is some some goal, you
42:41
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I to get cash in. How
42:44
Speaker 1: did you did Jim smooth about his temperament um? Time?
42:50
Speaker 1: First question should be it has Jim smoothed out a
42:52
Speaker 1: temperament um? Yeah? I have, I mean, you know, I
42:56
Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't I wouldn't suggest anybody to to you know,
43:00
Speaker 1: trying to cross that line because I'm trying to do
43:03
Speaker 1: better for myself and you know what I mean, and
43:05
Speaker 1: trying to put my energy in the right spot and
43:07
Speaker 1: things like that. My son and my family has a
43:10
Speaker 1: lot to do with it. As my son got older
43:13
Speaker 1: than I got older, and the thing the decisions that
43:16
Speaker 1: were making whether making sense, and their embarrassment that I
43:20
Speaker 1: was bringing home for a lot of decisions that I
43:21
Speaker 1: was making wasn't making sense. Um, I had to learn
43:25
Speaker 1: to move smoother if I wanted to continue to do
43:27
Speaker 1: the same things, and then moving smooth turns and then
43:30
Speaker 1: maybe these things you might not need to be doing
43:32
Speaker 1: anymore as you're getting older. And it's a lot, it's
43:34
Speaker 1: a lot. It's you know, I mean, I've been through
43:36
Speaker 1: a lot, bro Like I've been through a whole lot,
43:39
Speaker 1: not just even this industry, in life period, just coming
43:41
Speaker 1: up as a man. And at this point in time,
43:44
Speaker 1: I'm tired, you know what I mean. Like you not
43:46
Speaker 1: to say it like that, but I'm going to come
43:48
Speaker 1: to the streets and all that type. I'm tired, and
43:51
Speaker 1: I'm tired period. I wouldn't want nobody to to make
43:57
Speaker 1: me have to feel like I got to do something
43:59
Speaker 1: out of my character. This point in time to make
44:01
Speaker 1: me feel like I got to dip back into who
44:03
Speaker 1: I once was because it's not needed. I do believe
44:05
Speaker 1: I proved myself in that sense. When it comes to
44:08
Speaker 1: the streets, quote unquote, you could google me, baby, They're
44:11
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna tell you all about it. You know

46:24
Speaker 1: about you don't watch that shows? What is it the
46:27
Speaker 1: Cisi hotel or whatever? Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, I
46:31
Speaker 1: was pretty entertaining, just stayed in the hotel somebody died
46:34
Speaker 1: in before when we was in Milwaukee, Slue to Milwaukee
46:36
Speaker 1: dropping a clue bumps in Milwaukee. I love Milwaukee. Everybody
46:39
Speaker 1: that listens to some view one hundred point seven. And
46:41
Speaker 1: we were staying in this hotel on the outskirts of
46:43
Speaker 1: Milwaukee when we um when I filmed Catfish and I
46:47
Speaker 1: was actually sleeping and I saw this shadowy figure on
46:50
Speaker 1: the wall. Listen to me, It's why nobody talked to y'all. Okay,
46:54
Speaker 1: how do we figure on the wall? And it looked
46:56
Speaker 1: like a guy holding a gun to somebody. And you know,
47:00
Speaker 1: I've been seeing things my whole life. So I just
47:02
Speaker 1: said a little prayer and went to sleep. And then
47:05
Speaker 1: the next morning they told me somebody had got shot
47:06
Speaker 1: and killed in the room. Was a guy naked? Man?
47:09
Speaker 1: Shut up? It wasn't there for you. You know what
47:15
Speaker 1: I'm saying? What what? What? What's fantasy to me? That
47:20
Speaker 1: sounds like to me that dramas only black people were temps.
47:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just felt like it was racist. Okay, goodness,
47:37
Speaker 1: all right, Well we got rumors on the way. What
47:39
Speaker 1: we're talking about, boy, let's talk about these Grammy ratings.
47:42
Speaker 1: The numbers are in, all right, we'll get to that
47:44
Speaker 1: nextus to Breakfast Club. Comoris listen, Oh gosh, got Breakfast Club. Well,
47:57
Speaker 1: the Grammy ratings hit all time loads and viewership and
48:00
Speaker 1: key demo. So the final numbers are out and they're
48:04
Speaker 1: saying that right now, the eight point eight million that
48:08
Speaker 1: the Grammy scored is fifty three percent down from last
48:11
Speaker 1: year's results. Too much Bad Bunny. So when his Bad
48:15
Speaker 1: Bunny came on, man, people turned down. Always stop it.
48:19
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think people were excited about it.
48:21
Speaker 1: I didn't really hit much about it. It was not
48:23
Speaker 1: too much talk. I just wasn't I tell you what
48:25
Speaker 1: they miss thought, because this is an amazing Grammys I thought.
48:28
Speaker 1: I think part of it was, Yeah, people weren't doing
48:30
Speaker 1: like you know how they always have all these specials beforehand,
48:32
Speaker 1: the red carpet, and because a lot of people couldn't go,
48:36
Speaker 1: you know, it was just probably difficult. Grammys was great
48:39
Speaker 1: this year. I don't know what to tell people. Performances
48:41
Speaker 1: were great. I really, I really enjoyed the Grammys this year.
48:45
Speaker 1: The only thing is pop Smoke Pop Smoked want a Grammy,
48:47
Speaker 1: though as much as his contribution in his rookie year,
48:50
Speaker 1: he didn't. He shouldn't. Gotta listen. A lot of listen.
48:53
Speaker 1: A lot of people have issues with the Grammys, but
48:55
Speaker 1: Roddy Rich in particular is not excited about the fact
48:59
Speaker 1: that so many people actually dista Grammys. And he talks
49:02
Speaker 1: about Kanye West because remember Kanye urinated on his on
49:07
Speaker 1: a Grammy. Listened to this like the olderness, maybe hating
49:10
Speaker 1: on all the young nuns. And this is the reason
49:12
Speaker 1: why you don't see me with none of your favorite rappers.
49:15
Speaker 1: I get the Grammy show. We can talk about the
49:17
Speaker 1: Grammy Show all day long, like I don't want to
49:21
Speaker 1: be like older than is to be politick, and I
49:23
Speaker 1: feel like that's more so it should be the thing
49:25
Speaker 1: or where if I get nominated for six Grammys? And
49:28
Speaker 1: the guy looked to that that had twenty two, twenty
49:32
Speaker 1: twenty five of these months and I come in here,
49:34
Speaker 1: I want to get nominated for six this year, this year.
49:37
Speaker 1: This just piss on that show, Like how you think
49:39
Speaker 1: that made the world? Look at my accomplishment? That's real
49:43
Speaker 1: dropping a clues moms, Roddy Rich, Roddy Rich. You know
49:46
Speaker 1: he really is not getting the credit he deserves out
49:48
Speaker 1: here if you're asking me, because he had a monster,
49:50
Speaker 1: monster year last year. But but I understand what he's
49:52
Speaker 1: saying because he's like, yo, he wants to win a Grammy,
49:54
Speaker 1: so imagine he wined one. But then you got og
49:58
Speaker 1: like Kanye who's done one several, just peeing on one,
50:00
Speaker 1: like the value in the air, Like not get what
50:02
Speaker 1: he's saying, right, And Little Wayne tweeted up the Grammy's
50:07
Speaker 1: money bag. Yeld said, I used to want to gram
50:08
Speaker 1: me so bad till I realize it and nothing but
50:10
Speaker 1: a trophy that don't determine who you is or what
50:12
Speaker 1: you're doing to accomplish. Stay focused. Money bag yields absolutely correct.
50:15
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, none of these guys are wrong. You know,
50:17
Speaker 1: if you want one, cool, but it does not define you.
50:19
Speaker 1: You're still gonna wake up Roddy Rich today regardless. All right, now,
50:25
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Oscars. The Academy is liminating the
50:28
Speaker 1: Oscars to nominees and their guests. They've also canceled the
50:31
Speaker 1: Governor's Ball and the nominees lunch, so it will be
50:34
Speaker 1: in front of an in person audience that will consist
50:36
Speaker 1: only of the nominees and their guests and the show's presenters.
50:40
Speaker 1: So they're still planning to do it. And they did
50:43
Speaker 1: say that Oscar Week events from public screening to private receptions,
50:47
Speaker 1: the Governor's Ball that always follows the Oscar Show will
50:49
Speaker 1: not be held, and that was all schedule for the
50:53
Speaker 1: luncheon schedule for April fifteen, So they're not doing any
50:56
Speaker 1: of those things the week of because of the health
50:58
Speaker 1: and safety of the members. So we're not sure how
51:01
Speaker 1: the show's two venues, Adobe Theater and the Union Station
51:04
Speaker 1: in downtown LA would be used on the show, but
51:06
Speaker 1: it did say that the attendance at the show would
51:08
Speaker 1: be restricted. I mean, it makes sense they you know,
51:12
Speaker 1: and even at the Grammys you saw how empty it
51:15
Speaker 1: was there. So there you have it. Now, Envy, this
51:17
Speaker 1: story is for you. So I'm gonna need you to
51:19
Speaker 1: really talk about what happened on The Bachelor. Okay, all right,
51:24
Speaker 1: so break it down for us, because you know none
51:27
Speaker 1: of us watch it. But Matt James did pick a winner,
51:30
Speaker 1: and then he ended up having to speak out on
51:32
Speaker 1: the Rachel's racism controversy and the finale. So can you
51:36
Speaker 1: tell us what happened? Yeah, So Matt James, of course
51:38
Speaker 1: is the black Bachelor, the first black Bachelor, and it
51:42
Speaker 1: was down to two girls. He picked the white woman.
51:44
Speaker 1: Her name is Rachel, and that was the woman he picked.
51:47
Speaker 1: It was between Rachel and Michelle. I believe her name
51:50
Speaker 1: was a black woman of white when he picked the
51:51
Speaker 1: white woman. And then it came out about all these
51:54
Speaker 1: things about Rachel, her liking allegedly Confederate flag pictures, her
51:59
Speaker 1: liking I would say, allegedly pro Trump pictures, and then
52:04
Speaker 1: going to an Antebellum party, and after hearing all that,
52:07
Speaker 1: he decided to break up with her and not continue
52:10
Speaker 1: on this journey with her. He uh, he told Emmanuel
52:15
Speaker 1: why he broke up with Rachel. As Rachel acknowledged in
52:17
Speaker 1: her apology, there's a lot of work that needs to
52:20
Speaker 1: be done. I have to take a step back and
52:22
Speaker 1: allow her to put in that work. And I'm looking
52:24
Speaker 1: forward to seeing her put in that work. So you
52:26
Speaker 1: all no longer together? And what was that breakup conversation? Like?
52:31
Speaker 1: It was as tough as you can imagine, and it's
52:34
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking if you don't understand that something like that
52:39
Speaker 1: is problematic in twenty and eighteen, there's a lot of
52:41
Speaker 1: me that you won't understand. And it's except it's as
52:43
Speaker 1: simple as that. What the hell is this? I'm sure
52:48
Speaker 1: more people watched this in the Grammys, but it was,
52:51
Speaker 1: it was, it was entertaining. He definitely dead at her,
52:53
Speaker 1: and he decided to move on and said he couldn't
52:55
Speaker 1: move on with us. She was hurt, she was crying.
52:57
Speaker 1: She said she was sorry, m but it is it is.
53:00
Speaker 1: I mean, he picked her and it was a wrong
53:02
Speaker 1: pick for him. But the girl that he picked Rachel
53:06
Speaker 1: over Michelle, she's going to be the next contestant. She's
53:09
Speaker 1: gonna be a bachelorette and another girl. She's the one
53:13
Speaker 1: that when they first met, she brought the dial though
53:15
Speaker 1: she's also the one that told him that all the
53:18
Speaker 1: girls it was a toxic house. So she's going to
53:20
Speaker 1: be a bad at the party. Shut up. So this
53:22
Speaker 1: is the first time it's gonna be two bachelorette So
53:25
Speaker 1: it starts off with her season seventeen and then Michelle
53:28
Speaker 1: the Black Teacher season eighteen. So I'm excited about But
53:31
Speaker 1: here's Matt confronting Rachel about about the post and everything.
53:36
Speaker 1: The most disappointing thing for me was having to explain
53:40
Speaker 1: to you why what I saw was problematic and why
53:44
Speaker 1: I was so upset. When I'm in a relationship, that
53:46
Speaker 1: means that I'm committed to that person. And so when
53:49
Speaker 1: I questioned our relationship, it was in the context of
53:52
Speaker 1: you not fully understanding my blackness and what it means
53:57
Speaker 1: to be a black man in America. Nigga with me,
54:00
Speaker 1: fire kids. When I saw those things that were floating
54:02
Speaker 1: around the internet and then broke my heart. Who that prince?
54:05
Speaker 1: Who talk? No, that's Matt James bachelor, first black bachelor.
54:12
Speaker 1: I mean he you know, he picked he made the wrong,
54:14
Speaker 1: wrong pick. His mother is white, his dad is African,
54:17
Speaker 1: and I'm just talking and he picked the wrong one.
54:19
Speaker 1: And let me shout out to the host and Manuel
54:22
Speaker 1: Usa shout, we did a good job. Maybe it's a manual.
54:27
Speaker 1: Acho did a great job yesterday. Who it's not yours?
54:33
Speaker 1: What're not you got to do? Manual man? That's his name. Man.
54:36
Speaker 1: He did a good job, all right, Well that is
54:39
Speaker 1: your rumor. Thanks was petitioning for that job? Didn't work out?

Speaker 1: definitely petition. It's okay, not petitioning. You campaign campaign campaign, bro.
54:55

54:58
Speaker 1: whole little audition tape you did. You showed a little
55:01
Speaker 1: legs and you did a post about it. That was
55:04
Speaker 1: a joke. You stood on the corner and you showed
55:07
Speaker 1: a little leg. Nobody showed any interest, and you went
55:09
Speaker 1: back in the house. That's what happened. You had a
55:11
Speaker 1: rose and you remember, get the rose in your teeth.
55:13
Speaker 1: That's right. You went out there, you showed a little
55:15
Speaker 1: leg on the corner, like who want to buy some booty.
55:17
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to buy none. You went back in the house.
55:19
Speaker 1: If that's everything about booty with you? Like? Did never
55:21
Speaker 1: stop the booty back? Say nothing about booty? I say legs.
55:28
Speaker 1: You did, say, well, who are you giving you? Who
55:31
Speaker 1: are you giving your donkey to? Speaking of booty? Four asses?
55:35
Speaker 1: All right, Doctor Ben Carson and four Republican senators need
55:39
Speaker 1: to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like
55:41
Speaker 1: to have a word with you. Let's talk slavery this morning.
55:44
Speaker 1: Guys and gals. All right, we'll get to that next,
55:47
Speaker 1: so don't move. It's to breakfast, Clougal Morning, the Breakfast Club.
55:50
Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same. Angela here and
55:54
Speaker 1: the General Insurance has been helping people save money for
55:57
Speaker 1: nearly sixty years. They offer the quality coverage you to
56:00
Speaker 1: servant prices you can afford. Make the right call and
56:02
Speaker 1: go with the General called eight hundred General or visit
56:05
Speaker 1: the General dot com. Some restrictions apply for Donkey of
56:13
Speaker 1: the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the
56:18
Speaker 1: day a little bit of a mc so like a
56:20
Speaker 1: dop the day. Donkey of the day is a new wife,
56:31
Speaker 1: heavy on the mayonnaise and the crackers this morning. Okay,
56:35
Speaker 1: donkey to day for Tuesday, March sixteenth goes to doctor
56:37
Speaker 1: Ben Carson and Memphis Senator Brian Kelsey, along with three
56:41
Speaker 1: other Republicans Senators. Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy on this one.
56:44
Speaker 1: In the case of doctor Ben Carson, there is mayonnaise
56:47
Speaker 1: in the tower. My brothers, my sisters. As much as
56:51
Speaker 1: we dislike government, local and federal here in America, we
56:54
Speaker 1: can't afford take no what's going on in this country. Okay,
56:58
Speaker 1: we cannot afford it. Know what's going on in our government,
57:01
Speaker 1: local and federal. We have to be involved, We have
57:03
Speaker 1: to be engaged. We have to really really pay attention
57:05
Speaker 1: to who we're putting in office. Now. I know doctor
57:08
Speaker 1: Ben Carston isn't a politician, but I'm giving out a
57:10
Speaker 1: lot of heat haws this morning. Because I wake up
57:12
Speaker 1: every day, I pray, I meditate, I read my daily Affirmations.
57:16
Speaker 1: I love the Daily Stores by Ryan Holliday dropping a
57:18
Speaker 1: clues bomps, b Ryan Holiday, that's my guy. Today's affirmation
57:22
Speaker 1: from March six teams spoke on appreciating the sacred part
57:25
Speaker 1: of you. Okay, what are the sacred parts of you?
57:27
Speaker 1: Or the fact that you have been blessed with the
57:29
Speaker 1: ability to reason and use logic. The Daily Store ex
57:33
Speaker 1: says verbatim this morning, seriously, what you take for granted?
57:37
Speaker 1: Others wouldn't even think the dream of something as simple
57:40
Speaker 1: as the ability to reason and use logic. We take
57:43
Speaker 1: that for granted, and we shouldn't because there's people like
57:46
Speaker 1: doctor Ben Carston amongst us. There are people like Senator
57:48
Speaker 1: Brian Kelsey amongst us. I don't care what degrees they have,
57:51
Speaker 1: how much education they have. I don't want to hear
57:53
Speaker 1: anything about being an academic because when you are making
57:55
Speaker 1: statements like the one doctor Ben Carston made, and I'm
57:58
Speaker 1: gonna tie it in with what Senator b and Kelsey
58:00
Speaker 1: said and the other three Republican senators in Tennessee, because
58:04
Speaker 1: it's all wanted the same to me, all right. Doctor
58:06
Speaker 1: Ben Carson, the former secretary of HUD was on the
58:10
Speaker 1: podcast Out Loud with Giano Cardwell and they were discussing
58:13
Speaker 1: the perception of black Republicans and doctor Ben Carson said this,
58:18
Speaker 1: I just remember, this is not anything that's any different
58:21
Speaker 1: than many many years ago during slavery. She ran away
58:25
Speaker 1: and you got caught. They didn't just kill you, then
58:28
Speaker 1: brought you back, and that they tormented you in front
58:32
Speaker 1: of everybody else so that they would get the lesson,
58:35
Speaker 1: do not run away. And it's the same lesson. Now,
58:39
Speaker 1: do not depart from what we told you. Do not
58:42
Speaker 1: think for yourself, and if you do, we're going to
58:46
Speaker 1: try to make an example of you so that other
58:48
Speaker 1: people won't do it. What the hell, doctor, Ben Carson?
58:52
Speaker 1: Have you ever eaten season chicken? I'm serious? Have you
58:56
Speaker 1: ever bitten to a piece of good ass Chrisprey Southern
58:58
Speaker 1: fried chicken? I can't hell, I hear you talk, and
59:01
Speaker 1: I can't even believe you're married to a black woman.
59:03
Speaker 1: God bless your wife, Candy Carson, but she cannot possibly
59:08
Speaker 1: sleep with a silk bonnet on her head. Okay, no, man, Okay,
59:13
Speaker 1: talking like that, it's impossible. Man, Now, you talk crazy,
59:20
Speaker 1: not you see. I have a problem with people equating
59:25
Speaker 1: anything to slavery. Okay, I'm sure I've made that mistake
59:28
Speaker 1: at some point in my life. But let's be clear.
59:30
Speaker 1: There is nothing that remotely compares the slavery except for prison.
59:34
Speaker 1: But that's only because prison is slavery. Thirteenth Amendment. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
59:38
Speaker 1: do your Google's Okay, Google is your friend. Thirteenth Amendment
59:41
Speaker 1: abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. Okay,
59:46
Speaker 1: there is no correlation between slavery and anything you are
59:50
Speaker 1: going through, doctor Ben Carson. Okay, being a black Conservative
59:53
Speaker 1: is not like escaping the plantation. I really want someone
59:58
Speaker 1: to make a virtual reality experience. Notice I didn't say game,
1:00:02
Speaker 1: because slavery is not and has never never been a game, Okay,
1:00:07
Speaker 1: but an experience, because sometimes I wonder if y'all really
1:00:10
Speaker 1: understand what slavery was, Doctor Ben Carson. You know how
1:00:14
Speaker 1: you know you are far from a slave. It's because
1:00:16
Speaker 1: you're a neurosurgeon who went to the University of Michigan
1:00:19
Speaker 1: and Yale University, Doctor Ben. Slaves couldn't even read or write. Okay.
1:00:24
Speaker 1: Anti literacy laws in certain slaves states prevented that. I'm
1:00:26
Speaker 1: from one of them, South Carolina. You would get six
1:00:28
Speaker 1: months in prison and find a hundred pounds if you
1:00:30
Speaker 1: got caught teaching your slaves how to reading. Right, doctor Ben,
1:00:32
Speaker 1: your net worth is twenty six million dollars. Show me
1:00:36
Speaker 1: a slave that had twenty six million dollars. Okay, we
1:00:38
Speaker 1: must stop with these false equivalencis you're a black conservative.
1:00:42
Speaker 1: You have the freedom keyword freedom to choose to be
1:00:45
Speaker 1: a black conservative. Slaves slave did not freedom to do anything. Okay,
1:00:50
Speaker 1: doctor Ben Carson, I can't wait until you get your
1:00:54
Speaker 1: nigga wake up call. You hear me, Doctor Ben Old Listen,
1:00:58
Speaker 1: all negroes like doctor Ben eventually get that call from
1:01:00
Speaker 1: that phone that says any word on it, and when
1:01:02
Speaker 1: it rings, you got no choice but to pick up. Now,
1:01:06
Speaker 1: let's get to these cracker ass cracker senators. Okay, I
1:01:09
Speaker 1: dare you to get mad at me for calling these
1:01:12
Speaker 1: devils exactly what they are cracker ass. Cracker is not
1:01:15
Speaker 1: a slur. It's an adjective used to describe racist, bigoted, prejudiced, oppressive,
1:01:20
Speaker 1: evil people who want to kill me, your mama, and
1:01:22
Speaker 1: your cousin too, unless we licked their boots and sucked
1:01:25
Speaker 1: their kneecaps like the doctor Ben causes of the world.
1:01:28
Speaker 1: See Brian Kelsey, Frank Nesley, Janice Bowling, and Joey Hensley.
1:01:32
Speaker 1: Who are these people? They are four Republican centers senators
1:01:36
Speaker 1: centers to who voted against abolishing slavery. There go Uncle Charlotte,
1:01:42
Speaker 1: just talking out his Ass's twenty twenty one. What do
1:01:44
Speaker 1: you mean they voted against abolishing slavery? Slavery been abolished? Oh?
1:01:49
Speaker 1: Has it not? Everywhere? You better read the fine print
1:01:52
Speaker 1: of your state constitutions if you know what I know.
1:01:55
Speaker 1: Let's go to wm Let's go to WMC NBC five
1:01:58
Speaker 1: for the report place Tennessee is one step closer to
1:02:01
Speaker 1: abolishing slavery, which is still allowed in the state constitution.
1:02:05
Speaker 1: Memphis Senator Ramesh at Berry sponsored the bill to prohibit
1:02:08
Speaker 1: slavery under all circumstances. German Town Senator Brian Kelsey was
1:02:12
Speaker 1: one of four Republican senators who voted against removing the
1:02:16
Speaker 1: article from the constitution that allows slavery and involuntary servitude
1:02:21
Speaker 1: as punishment for people convicted of a quant The State
1:02:24
Speaker 1: House of Representatives will vote on the bill that passed Tuesday.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: Slavery is still allowed in the state constitution in Tennessee.
1:02:34
Speaker 1: Would you like to hear why Brian Kelsey is voting
1:02:37
Speaker 1: no on abolishing slavery. Listen, because it doesn't do anything
1:02:41
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I would urge my colleagues
1:02:43
Speaker 1: to blue light this resolution. I'll be voting no. I
1:02:46
Speaker 1: just think it's ultimately fake history that the eighteen seventy
1:02:49
Speaker 1: Constitution allowed slavery. Fake history. But tell you talking about Brian,
1:02:55
Speaker 1: if it's so faked, and why wouldn't you abolish it?
1:02:57
Speaker 1: Why would you want something fake into constitution? And your
1:02:59
Speaker 1: speak constitution? Frank nicely, would you like to hear why
1:03:03
Speaker 1: he is not abolishing slavery. Listen, now, I'm a non
1:03:06
Speaker 1: lawyer and most of my voters are non lawyers, and
1:03:09
Speaker 1: I can't explain this amendment and words they can understand.
1:03:12
Speaker 1: I don't understand it in the Constitution to too sacred,
1:03:15
Speaker 1: to clutter up with a lot of stuff that non
1:03:18
Speaker 1: lawyers can't explain to other non lawyers. So I guess
1:03:21
Speaker 1: I'll be voting no on this. Nobody plays dumb like
1:03:24
Speaker 1: a white man who doesn't want to give you justice. Okay, Frank,
1:03:28
Speaker 1: acting like he don't understand. I tell you, Frankie, state
1:03:30
Speaker 1: constitution says slavery is still legal. We want to remove that.
1:03:34
Speaker 1: What's so complicated? Frank? Come on, dramas make me feel good?
1:03:37
Speaker 1: You know what I want to hear. Come on, come on,
1:03:38
Speaker 1: I ask, come on, come on, I am losing my
1:03:40
Speaker 1: mind in this country. Remember what I said earlier about
1:03:44
Speaker 1: my daily story affirmation, and we should feel blessed and
1:03:47
Speaker 1: grateful that we are able to reason and use logic.
1:03:50
Speaker 1: It is a gift, but woe was also a crush
1:03:52
Speaker 1: when you hit stuff like this. These are elected officials.
1:03:55
Speaker 1: These people are in charge of legislation. If I was
1:03:58
Speaker 1: black in Tendensee, I would migrate no off and let
1:04:00
Speaker 1: the doctor Bins of the world moved to Tendessee. I mean, hell,
1:04:02
Speaker 1: if you acquainting being a black conservative to being a slave,
1:04:05
Speaker 1: might as well go live where actual slavery is still allowed.
1:04:09
Speaker 1: How y'all colors feel no in tendency is not legally
1:04:11
Speaker 1: abolished slavery? Okay? The State House of Representatives is voting
1:04:15
Speaker 1: on the bill today. There's a queen name of ramus Akbari.
1:04:21
Speaker 1: I think is how you pronounce her name? If I
1:04:22
Speaker 1: pronounce your name wrong, I'm sorry. She is sponsoring the
1:04:24
Speaker 1: build a prohibit slavery under all circumstances. How crazy is
1:04:28
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty one, even here listen to her.
1:04:31
Speaker 1: This does do something because there's a difference between the
1:04:33
Speaker 1: word working and slavery. I've worked, I have never been
1:04:37
Speaker 1: a slave. That's a clear distinction. I'm proposing to close
1:04:40
Speaker 1: a loophole that has an exception for slavery for those
1:04:44
Speaker 1: who are duly convicted of a crime. And that's a
1:04:46
Speaker 1: strong message we can send as a state. What we
1:04:48
Speaker 1: are proposing is slavery and involuntary servitude are forever prohibited.
1:04:53
Speaker 1: Those are who were incarcerated can still have a job,
1:04:56
Speaker 1: like in the kitchen or the library. I would really
1:04:59
Speaker 1: ask that we he has a Senate as a body,
1:05:01
Speaker 1: close this loophole removes. You shouldn't even have to ask.
1:05:05
Speaker 1: This shouldn't even be a thing in twenty twenty one,
1:05:08
Speaker 1: but it is. Why, because this is America. A M
1:05:11
Speaker 1: E R I K k K A okay, please let

1:05:56
Speaker 1: the largest black owned woman on construction company in the country. Uh,
1:05:59
Speaker 1: mckiss McKissick is a fifth generation company. And you have
1:06:02
Speaker 1: these conversations about generational wealth and generational black owned businesses.
1:06:05
Speaker 1: What does that look like? Charyl McKissick is coming to
1:06:07
Speaker 1: tell us. All right, we'll do it when we come back.
1:06:09
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, It's the Breakfast Club,
1:06:19
Speaker 1: the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
1:06:23
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
1:06:27
Speaker 1: We have a special guest joining us this morning. That's right.
1:06:31
Speaker 1: Charyl mckissacks is the president in CEO of mckissack and mckissak. Welcome,
1:06:35
Speaker 1: good morning, Good morning. You know, we have these conversations
1:06:39
Speaker 1: all the time about generational wealth and black ownership, but
1:06:42
Speaker 1: a lot of us, you know, really haven't seen what
1:06:44
Speaker 1: that truly looks like. Mckissack and mckissack Construction firm founded
1:06:47
Speaker 1: in nineteen oh five. Nineteen oh five, but we actually
1:06:52
Speaker 1: go back two hundred and thirty years. Fifth generation, your
1:06:55
Speaker 1: fifth generation. Yes, and it's the oldest minority and woman
1:06:58
Speaker 1: owned design firm in this country. Yes. Wow, Yes, what
1:07:03
Speaker 1: does that mean for you? Oh? Wow, that means everything
1:07:06
Speaker 1: to me. Um. You know, I have been this has
1:07:09
Speaker 1: been in my blood ever since I can't remember. You know,
1:07:13
Speaker 1: the best way to combat systemic racism is through entrepreneurship,
1:07:18
Speaker 1: Black ownership, Latino ownership. That's where it is. Um. There's
1:07:24
Speaker 1: not too many white owned companies that are six generations,
1:07:29
Speaker 1: and that's what's coming next. The sixth generation had a
1:07:33
Speaker 1: company start. For people that don't know, let's break down
1:07:36
Speaker 1: how this construction family created and you know, and how
1:07:41
Speaker 1: so many and how your generations of family members are
1:07:44
Speaker 1: continuing to push it off because sometimes you get people
1:07:46
Speaker 1: are like, you know what I've seen so much. I
1:07:47
Speaker 1: don't want to do construction. I want to do something else.
1:07:50
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how this company was created. Hey,
1:07:53
Speaker 1: And that's a real feeling right there, because when you
1:07:56
Speaker 1: have it, you don't appreciate it. So I get what
1:07:59
Speaker 1: you're saying. But when I begin to understand the story
1:08:03
Speaker 1: that my great great grandfather was a slave and topped
1:08:06
Speaker 1: the trade of making bricks, and that at some point
1:08:09
Speaker 1: he received his freedom and he gave three hundred and
1:08:12
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand bricks to a very wealthy family in
1:08:16
Speaker 1: Tennessee and they built the Cheers Mansion which is still
1:08:20
Speaker 1: standing owned by the Saturn Corporation. His son was known
1:08:27
Speaker 1: for his construction as well. He was a master builder.
1:08:30
Speaker 1: He built the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, where
1:08:34
Speaker 1: six presidents state and then his son, Moses mckinzick the third,
1:08:38
Speaker 1: My grandfather and great uncle are the first black license
1:08:42
Speaker 1: architects in the country with license one seventeen and one
1:08:46
Speaker 1: eighteen in the state of Tennessee. Wow, but if you
1:08:49
Speaker 1: can think about the fact that they incorporated in nineteen
1:08:53
Speaker 1: oh five, there were no architectural licensing laws at that time,
1:08:58
Speaker 1: so they had to old to school through correspondence and
1:09:02
Speaker 1: then show up in the deep prejudiced South in Tennessee
1:09:07
Speaker 1: to go take their license as two black men, their
1:09:09
Speaker 1: license exams and they were denied over and over again.
1:09:13
Speaker 1: They were denied. Um eventually they lobbied the board and
1:09:18
Speaker 1: found one board member who went to bat for them
1:09:21
Speaker 1: and said, you know, these two black men, let them
1:09:24
Speaker 1: take the test. They're not gonna pass or did anythink
1:09:28
Speaker 1: they could pass? And of course they passed. Uh. And
1:09:33
Speaker 1: then they didn't want to give them their license, but
1:09:35
Speaker 1: they did. And what's so interesting it's after they got
1:09:38
Speaker 1: their license and they were the first black license architects
1:09:41
Speaker 1: in the country, the board gained a lot of notoriety
1:09:45
Speaker 1: and so they went to bat for them to get
1:09:46
Speaker 1: their license in twenty two other states. Wow. And so
1:09:50
Speaker 1: they built black HBCUs, black collegists throughout the South, throughout
1:09:55
Speaker 1: the Northeast. They built at least six thousand black churches.
1:10:00
Speaker 1: Did you realize you had to carry on tradition? So
1:10:03
Speaker 1: I decided when I got out of college, I went
1:10:06
Speaker 1: to Howard. I have a master's degree in engineering that
1:10:09
Speaker 1: I didn't want to work for him because of company.
1:10:12
Speaker 1: And it goes back to what you were saying earlier.
1:10:14
Speaker 1: You know, you just take it for granted. I wanted
1:10:16
Speaker 1: to work for a large firm, large you know, majority
1:10:21
Speaker 1: construction firm, and that's exactly what I did. I worked
1:10:25
Speaker 1: for a national firm. But then my mother. After my
1:10:30
Speaker 1: father became ill, had to take over the business. And
1:10:33
Speaker 1: she called up my boss one day as she says,
1:10:35
Speaker 1: Chryl's quitting today. You got me on the phone and
1:10:40
Speaker 1: she says, Chryl, I need for you to come to Nashville.
1:10:43
Speaker 1: Pack your bags. You're gonna come here and help me
1:10:46
Speaker 1: run this business. So that's what I did. I mean,
1:10:49
Speaker 1: at the time, I was a little frustrated, but you know,
1:10:53
Speaker 1: it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now,
1:10:56
Speaker 1: the true your mom had no background in the business, none.
1:11:00
Speaker 1: She only knew the telephone number. However, she had a
1:11:04
Speaker 1: master's degree in psychology, which helped her with the manias
1:11:07
Speaker 1: and phobias around men who didn't think a woman could
1:11:09
Speaker 1: run a business. Let's couple that would being a black woman. Yeah,
1:11:19
Speaker 1: she sued the city of Nashville, and she took over
1:11:23
Speaker 1: the business in nineteen eighty three. So in nineteen eighty three,
1:11:28
Speaker 1: women could not borrow money from banks. That did not
1:11:32
Speaker 1: happen until nineteen eighty eight with the Women's Business Act.
1:11:37
Speaker 1: So that's not even that long ago. Hey, Spike Lee
1:11:42
Speaker 1: was doing she had she's got to have it. Okay,
1:11:44
Speaker 1: the internet was just becoming, you know, public, if you
1:11:48
Speaker 1: could imagine, she couldn't borrow money. She was denied work
1:11:52
Speaker 1: at the airport in Nashville, Tennessee. So she sued the
1:11:56
Speaker 1: state and she opened up the doors for other black
1:11:59
Speaker 1: firms to get work. But she was black ball. So
1:12:02
Speaker 1: she was pretty tough, pretty powerful, and she was my mentor.
1:12:07
Speaker 1: She taught me a lot. She taught me about, you know,
1:12:10
Speaker 1: how to sell my business, how to do my elevator
1:12:13
Speaker 1: pitch way back then, how to do my ted talk,
1:12:15
Speaker 1: how do people treat you as a black woman. Well
1:12:18
Speaker 1: that's the story I'm getting to. So we are down
1:12:21
Speaker 1: in Alabama. We're going to the Board of Education, and
1:12:25
Speaker 1: my mom says, Cheryl, today you're doing a pitch. I'm
1:12:28
Speaker 1: not doing it, You're doing it. I'm like, oh my god,
1:12:30
Speaker 1: I'm scared to death. So we go into this man's office.
1:12:34
Speaker 1: I swear as the oldest white man I've ever seen,
1:12:39
Speaker 1: and he just holds his head down and I am
1:12:41
Speaker 1: just talking away. I mean, you know, like I'm telling
1:12:45
Speaker 1: them all about our history and who we are. And
1:12:47
Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything. He just has his head down.
1:12:50
Speaker 1: When I get done, he stands up and he says,
1:12:54
Speaker 1: come here, little lady, and I go over to him
1:12:57
Speaker 1: and he shakes my hand and he finally lifts up
1:13:00
Speaker 1: his head. He said, I absolutely want to do business
1:13:02
Speaker 1: with you. Oh yeah, and your mom um twenty five, no,
1:13:07
Speaker 1: thirty like thirty thirty one, thirty two. And you know what,
1:13:10
Speaker 1: I learned a lot that day. You know, I learned
1:13:13
Speaker 1: you cannot judge a book by its cover. Also, you
1:13:17
Speaker 1: can't be afraid to speak your truth. You got to
1:13:20
Speaker 1: say it whether people here it or not. And so
1:13:22
Speaker 1: I have done that my entire life. I don't care
1:13:24
Speaker 1: who you are. If I want to tell you what
1:13:26
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, I'm gonna tell you. I'm
1:13:29
Speaker 1: gonna do myselfs pitch on mckissic and mckissic because let's
1:13:32
Speaker 1: face it, every opportunity we've all had has come through somebody.
1:13:37
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, we have more with Cheryl mckissic
1:13:39
Speaker 1: when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club
1:13:41
Speaker 1: goal morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
1:13:45
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
1:13:47
Speaker 1: it with Cheryl McKissick. Charlomagne. How much pressure is it
1:13:50
Speaker 1: to run a family business, especially one that has so
1:13:52
Speaker 1: much history. You know what, I think the history is
1:13:56
Speaker 1: what gives me the strength when I meet the pressure. Okay,
1:14:00
Speaker 1: and I think back. You know, sure, you know we
1:14:03
Speaker 1: we built iconic projects. You know James Terminal, Now, you
1:14:08
Speaker 1: know UM the World Trade Center. We oversee the MTA
1:14:12
Speaker 1: capital program for the last ten years. I mean the
1:14:15
Speaker 1: budget right now is about fifty four billion. Our last
1:14:19
Speaker 1: budget was thirty two billion. Mckissic oversees every project. That's
1:14:22
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars more. Wow. Okay, So we had
1:14:26
Speaker 1: light flex on this little light flex on this fine
1:14:29
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. Wow, little light flex. Okay, we're program managers.
1:14:35
Speaker 1: This is a great one. We're program managers for Terminal
1:14:39
Speaker 1: one JFK. And the owners are Carlisle, Magic, Johnson Enterprises
1:14:45
Speaker 1: and Loop Capital was involved in the Magic is involved
1:14:49
Speaker 1: in now. Wow. And that's why McKissick is involved with that.
1:14:52
Speaker 1: And that's the whole point of black entren entrepreneurship. It's
1:14:56
Speaker 1: about equity. It's Wall Street already of them African American
1:15:00
Speaker 1: Because I know sometimes when I drive around these sites,
1:15:03
Speaker 1: I can tell that a lot of people hire a
1:15:04
Speaker 1: cheaper labor, and I don't really see too many Brothers
1:15:06
Speaker 1: assistants working at somebody sites, sometimes not at our sites.
1:15:10
Speaker 1: I can't speak about other sites. But since two thousand
1:15:14
Speaker 1: and five, we have put in place a workforce program
1:15:17
Speaker 1: and it's started actually at Harlem Hospital and it's really
1:15:21
Speaker 1: like intake for people that want to get into construction,
1:15:26
Speaker 1: and we refer our candidates not only to mckissic projects,
1:15:32
Speaker 1: but to any project in the Parlem area. Most of
1:15:36
Speaker 1: our jobs mckissic jobs. We are like forty five percent
1:15:41
Speaker 1: minority women owned businesses, and our workforce is up in
1:15:45
Speaker 1: that forty percent range as well. We want to make
1:15:48
Speaker 1: sure that the people in the community that we build,
1:15:52
Speaker 1: you know, feed in and have a part of the
1:15:55
Speaker 1: economic wealth that comes from construction, because construction does build wealth,
1:16:00
Speaker 1: you know, So on usual cases, I don't want to
1:16:03
Speaker 1: go in your pockets. But what is usually a profit
1:16:04
Speaker 1: margin for construction companies what they actually make, So it
1:16:08
Speaker 1: all depends on the project and what your role is
1:16:11
Speaker 1: on a project. So you know, if you are you know,
1:16:15
Speaker 1: doing construction management services program management services, which means you're
1:16:21
Speaker 1: not holding contractors contracts directly with subcontractors, then the percentages
1:16:26
Speaker 1: are around you know, ten percent. If you are a
1:16:30
Speaker 1: contractor holding subcontractors contracts like you know, excavation, concrete, all
1:16:38
Speaker 1: of that, then it's more in the three to five percent.
1:16:42
Speaker 1: So it just all depends on the type of contract
1:16:45
Speaker 1: that you're holding. But when you think about New York
1:16:48
Speaker 1: numbers and you think about those percentages, it still ends
1:16:52
Speaker 1: up being a very lucrative business. Oh we can tell
1:16:56
Speaker 1: I can. I can see the wealth on you. Okay,
1:16:59
Speaker 1: I see the wealth on on you. Now I could
1:17:00
Speaker 1: smell it through the zoom. I I know wealth when
1:17:04
Speaker 1: I see wealth. Okay, I'm looking at it myself. Is
1:17:12
Speaker 1: there anything else you ever wanted to do? U? Yeah,
1:17:17
Speaker 1: there are other things I wanted to do. I mean
1:17:19
Speaker 1: growing up with silly stuff. And then you know my
1:17:22
Speaker 1: passion right now is black entrepreneurship. So last year, well
1:17:27
Speaker 1: actually it's been two years, I started a firm called
1:17:29
Speaker 1: Legacy Engineers with a really good friend of mine who's
1:17:32
Speaker 1: an engineer UM and it's a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, engineering
1:17:37
Speaker 1: design firm. And we're bringing in black engineers, teaching them
1:17:43
Speaker 1: how to be owners, and then we're gonna build a
1:17:45
Speaker 1: company and give it to them. Wow. Wow. But about
1:17:51
Speaker 1: the importance of mwbs because I know people we need
1:17:54
Speaker 1: to stress that more as far as we amber to
1:17:56
Speaker 1: get these contracts with the city and building wealth that way,
1:17:58
Speaker 1: the MWBE program is needed. I mean, just like the
1:18:03
Speaker 1: story I just told you about my grandfather who couldn't
1:18:06
Speaker 1: get their license, we still have those same type of
1:18:09
Speaker 1: bureaucrats that are in the system who are going to
1:18:12
Speaker 1: stop people just because of the color of their skin.
1:18:15
Speaker 1: And so we have to have MWBE programs. That's the
1:18:19
Speaker 1: only way to break through. But we just need to
1:18:21
Speaker 1: make them even, We need to make them more rooted,
1:18:24
Speaker 1: and we make we need to make them larger. Right now,
1:18:29
Speaker 1: under the Blasio and under Como, the MWBE percentages around
1:18:34
Speaker 1: thirty percent. You know, we just need to increase it
1:18:36
Speaker 1: because to me, that's where the rubber hits the road,
1:18:39
Speaker 1: and we're back to that ecosystem that we know about.
1:18:43
Speaker 1: If a black person owns a business, they're gonna hire
1:18:46
Speaker 1: black people, and you know that's going to change a community.
1:18:50
Speaker 1: What better way to fight systemic racism and to close
1:18:54
Speaker 1: the gap between black and white income and wealth. Do
1:18:59
Speaker 1: you This was fueling the desire to let people know
1:19:02
Speaker 1: the story of your family more. But really fueled it
1:19:05
Speaker 1: was we need more black women, We need more black
1:19:09
Speaker 1: men in stem and engineering and architecture and in construction,
1:19:15
Speaker 1: and we need to put a face on that. And
1:19:18
Speaker 1: so that's when I started trying to expand my brand
1:19:21
Speaker 1: so I could put a face on it, just to say.
1:19:24
Speaker 1: You know, people when they think about construction, they think
1:19:26
Speaker 1: about a hard hat and some boots of mud. Well, construction,
1:19:30
Speaker 1: do I look like I'm out of some hard fresh
1:19:33
Speaker 1: off white track suit, very expensive shoes. I don't know
1:19:37
Speaker 1: what they are, but if you click them, you're going
1:19:39
Speaker 1: head back to Canadas. I know that much. I know
1:19:42
Speaker 1: that much. You're getting that money. But I would put
1:19:45
Speaker 1: my boots on and I will go out there and um,
1:19:49
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's important to do that, but that's
1:19:51
Speaker 1: not what the whole profession is. It's so much more
1:19:55
Speaker 1: that you can do in um, in construction. I mean,
1:19:58
Speaker 1: there's hr, there's finance, say's operations, there's business, there's marketing,
1:20:03
Speaker 1: so much, so much, and so we need more people
1:20:07
Speaker 1: that look like us in this profession. If you care,
1:20:10
Speaker 1: you can be it. And that's why it's importing for
1:20:12
Speaker 1: you to come up here and talk about your experience,
1:20:13
Speaker 1: because I can imagine right now that thousands of people
1:20:17
Speaker 1: that might not ever have considered this like I actually
1:20:20
Speaker 1: can do that. This is interesting. Let me do some
1:20:22
Speaker 1: more research and be inspired. And let me tell you
1:20:24
Speaker 1: what if someone that's black gets in this and you know,
1:20:28
Speaker 1: they qualify themselves and they're good, they will be sought
1:20:31
Speaker 1: after and they will get paid top dollar. So how
1:20:35
Speaker 1: should they start, like, you know, because everybody's not as
1:20:38
Speaker 1: mckissic ways passed down, how do they start if they
1:20:40
Speaker 1: want to get into this space? Well, um, I say,
1:20:43
Speaker 1: if you're in high school, you want to make sure
1:20:46
Speaker 1: you're in STEM. You know, you gotta do STEM and
1:20:50
Speaker 1: now STEAM which includes the architecture, okay, um, And then
1:20:55
Speaker 1: you go to college and then you want to work
1:20:59
Speaker 1: in over the summer and get internships at these organizations
1:21:03
Speaker 1: so that you can see, um, all the opportunity that's
1:21:07
Speaker 1: there and which opportunity you want to take advantage of.
1:21:11
Speaker 1: But you know, if you can work for mckenzic and mckinzick,
1:21:16
Speaker 1: you might end up on the breakfast club in turn.
1:21:21
Speaker 1: That's right, How can they get in touch with you
1:21:24
Speaker 1: if they want to take advantage of these uh, these
1:21:27
Speaker 1: the few dollars that you're willing to give up the
1:21:29
Speaker 1: few a few dollars that you're willing to give up
1:21:31
Speaker 1: on young entrepreneurs. Well, I don't know if it's reaching
1:21:35
Speaker 1: out to changer McQueen, my PR person would probably be
1:21:40
Speaker 1: the best way to do it. Um and um. You

Speaker 1: them free of charge. And now he has his own store,
1:22:56

1:23:03

1:23:15
Speaker 1: I am happy that that brother exists, Yes, the good
1:23:18
Speaker 1: Man Truth. That's one thing. I wonder if they're gonna
1:23:21
Speaker 1: do the Trade Day, you know, this year, because Texas
1:23:24
Speaker 1: is wide open and he does so much for the community,
1:23:26
Speaker 1: gives back and he helps those kids so much. I
1:23:28
Speaker 1: wonder if they're gonna do it this year. I don't
1:23:29
Speaker 1: think trade that irresponsible. I don't think he would do
1:23:33
Speaker 1: that just because Texas is wide open. I don't think
1:23:35
Speaker 1: he would. I don't know. But it helps me, helps
1:23:38
Speaker 1: the kids eat, It helps you know with backpacks. That
1:23:40
Speaker 1: was with a lot not just parties, you know what
1:23:42
Speaker 1: I mean. It really gives back those kids maybe get
1:23:44
Speaker 1: the parties. And I know he does the outdoor stuff,
1:23:46
Speaker 1: so maybe it's something maybe you know, wear your mask
1:23:50
Speaker 1: but come outdoors. I can see that Sup Portray and
1:23:54
Speaker 1: whatever he does, lue to trade the truth. Him and

1:24:02
Speaker 1: Level three across from Agenda. If anybody out there wants
1:24:05
Speaker 1: to go all right on the Jasmine brand. D Ray
1:24:08
Speaker 1: Davis did an exclusive interview where he was talking about
1:24:11
Speaker 1: playing Lauren London's husband and Snowfall and the pilot for
1:24:15
Speaker 1: the show. Here's what he had to say. It's really
1:24:16
Speaker 1: crazy about the casting because John Singleton loved Lauren, he
1:24:19
Speaker 1: loved me and the chemistry he wanted. I think on
1:24:22
Speaker 1: screen we we were cool because we like Buddy Buddy,
1:24:25
Speaker 1: But as far as us being the husband and wife,
1:24:26
Speaker 1: it would have taken probably by season three for me
1:24:28
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable because although she's beyond beautiful and beyond fine,
1:24:33
Speaker 1: that was as Nipsy's girl, you know what I'm saying.
1:24:35
Speaker 1: One I'm very respected too. We had his brother's talking
1:24:39
Speaker 1: things all the time, so I don't see like it's
1:24:42
Speaker 1: affectionate as you see Angela and Aim and play and
1:24:45
Speaker 1: that passion they could just get into and the characters
1:24:48
Speaker 1: that we would have gotten to that now what is
1:24:51
Speaker 1: this now? Movie? Is this? No? You know Snowfall on
1:24:54
Speaker 1: FX and the pilot. Originally, yeah, he was originally playing
1:24:57
Speaker 1: a different role. He was originally, I said, in that role.
1:25:00
Speaker 1: But now he's playing against the name Peaches on the series.
1:25:03
Speaker 1: But originally he was in the pilot, playing opposite Lauren London.
1:25:08
Speaker 1: He talks about a lot of different things in this interview.
1:25:10
Speaker 1: He also talks about John Singleton and how the first
1:25:12
Speaker 1: time he met John Singleton he thought he was ignoring him,
1:25:15
Speaker 1: but I guess he couldn't see that well without his glasses,
1:25:18
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, it's a good interview, all right, Bridgeton.
1:25:22
Speaker 1: The cast for Bridgeton is getting ready for season two
1:25:25
Speaker 1: and now they are in London and ready to film.
1:25:28
Speaker 1: So they did announce that they were picking it up
1:25:30
Speaker 1: for a second season last month, which I'm super excited about.
1:25:34
Speaker 1: So shout out again to um, yes I am. I
1:25:37
Speaker 1: love Bridgeton. I wish it was out right now and
1:25:39
Speaker 1: so shout out to Shandon Rhymes for that. And you know, um,
1:25:45
Speaker 1: the guy Luke Thompton who plays the Benedit Bridgeton. He
1:25:48
Speaker 1: actually is dyslexic, so he said that it was hard
1:25:50
Speaker 1: for him learning his lines. He get to struggle with
1:25:53
Speaker 1: his dyslexia. The lead, he's the brother, so I guess
1:26:01
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the lead in the second season,
1:26:04
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. All Right, now, let's talk about
1:26:06
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg. After launching his wine, his red wine with
1:26:11
Speaker 1: nineteen Crimes, now he's launching a new rose. By the way,
1:26:13
Speaker 1: my mom loves that wine. That wine is good. My
1:26:17
Speaker 1: mom came over my house and took at two of them,
1:26:19
Speaker 1: and she took him. Yeah, I drink a bottle of
1:26:21
Speaker 1: that nineteen Crimes. I did that with some mediables one night,
1:26:24
Speaker 1: great Saturday. All right, well, now you can actually get
1:26:27
Speaker 1: the rose as well, So shout out to my guide
1:26:30
Speaker 1: to Eclectic Wine and Liquors in Brooklyn. He always has
1:26:33
Speaker 1: that like front and center in his store, to black
1:26:35
Speaker 1: owned liquor store. All right, well that is your rumor reports.
1:26:40
Speaker 1: Now it's Women's History month. Will we repen today? Well,
1:26:42
Speaker 1: today we are talking about Stacy Abrams. Now she is
1:26:45
Speaker 1: warning about these racist election laws. This is something that
1:26:48
Speaker 1: everybody needs to pay attention to. The work that she's
1:26:51
Speaker 1: been doing is one of the main reasons why Georgia
1:26:54
Speaker 1: actually became help President Joe Biden become the first Democrat
1:26:59
Speaker 1: in nearly three decadids to carry the state. She's been
1:27:01
Speaker 1: out there in the trenches. She's been making sure that
1:27:03
Speaker 1: people get out exercise their right to vote. Once again,
1:27:06
Speaker 1: that right is under threat. Here she is talking on CNN.
1:27:12
Speaker 1: It's Woman's History Month and we're celebrating the most influential
1:27:15
Speaker 1: women in history. Check out this phenomenal woman. Well, first
1:27:18
Speaker 1: of all, I do absolutely agree that it's racist. It
1:27:20
Speaker 1: is the reduct of Jim Crow in a suit and tie.
1:27:24
Speaker 1: We know that the only thing that precipitated these changes,
1:27:28
Speaker 1: It's not that there was a question of security. In fact,
1:27:30
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State and the Governor went to great
1:27:32
Speaker 1: pains to assure America that George's elections were secure. And
1:27:36
Speaker 1: so the only connection that we can find is that
1:27:39
Speaker 1: more people of color voted and it changed the outcome
1:27:41
Speaker 1: of elections in a direction that Republicans do not like.
1:27:44
Speaker 1: And so instead of celebrating better access and more participation,
1:27:49
Speaker 1: their response is to try to eliminate access to voting
1:27:52
Speaker 1: for primarily communities. Of color, and there's a direct correlation
1:27:55
Speaker 1: between the usage of drop boxes, the usage of in
1:27:58
Speaker 1: person early voting, especially on Sundays, and the use of
1:28:01
Speaker 1: vote by mail and the direct increase in the number
1:28:04
Speaker 1: of people of color voting. And that was another phenomenal
1:28:11
Speaker 1: woman in history. All right, Well, that is Stacy Abrams
1:28:15
Speaker 1: for Women's History Month. Make sure you guys go to
1:28:17
Speaker 1: fairfight dot com. That is her organization, if you want
1:28:21
Speaker 1: to find out more, if you want to support. She
1:28:23
Speaker 1: is a political leader, she is a voting rights activist,
1:28:25
Speaker 1: and her work is super important. So I just want
1:28:27
Speaker 1: to make sure that we keep on highlighting her and
1:28:29
Speaker 1: that we keep on making sure that we get out
1:28:31

1:28:33
Speaker 1: right does not get taken away from us. All right,
