0:47
Speaker 2: came in today, so... Man, life is good, man. How
0:49
Speaker 2: you feeling?
0:49
Speaker 1: I called you early in the day. And then when
0:52
Speaker 1: you called me back, I forgot why I called you.
0:53
Speaker 2: But now I remember. I could tell because you was
0:55
Speaker 2: talking to me. And I'm like, this ain't what you
0:56
Speaker 2: want to talk to me about.
0:56
Speaker 1: No, you know what it was?
0:57
Speaker 2: You didn't even sound right.
0:58
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? Now,
1:00
Speaker 1: my son has to go. He's going on a hiking
1:01
Speaker 1: trip with his class, right?
1:03
Speaker 2: The hell you calling me for? I don't hike.
1:04
Speaker 1: You from the country. You know what to carry with you,
1:06
Speaker 1: so I didn't know what to get.
1:07
Speaker 2: Do I look like a hiker? I grew up in
1:09
Speaker 2: the country. I grew up on a dirt road in Moscow,
1:11
Speaker 2: North Carolina. I had cornfields all around me. We ran
1:13
Speaker 2: through woods as kids, but I ain't never went on
1:15
Speaker 2: no goddamn hike. No, so maybe calling you- That's what
1:17
Speaker 2: I need to go hike for. Hiking's for mountains.
1:19
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to get. I had to get
1:21
Speaker 1: hiking sneakers. What the hell is a hiking sneaker?
1:22
Speaker 2: Don't think about me when you hiking, bro. I'm not
1:25
Speaker 2: a hiker. Hitchhiker, I don't hike.
1:26
Speaker 1: I had to go to Dick's yesterday, and I had to...
1:27
Speaker 1: I know you did. I know you did.
1:29
Speaker 2: I don't know why they named that store that.
1:31
Speaker 1: But I had to go get hiking shoes, and then
1:33
Speaker 1: I had to get a sleeping bag. Then I had
1:35
Speaker 1: to get a flashlight and water socks. It was all
1:38
Speaker 1: these different things that... I'm from Queens.
1:40
Speaker 4: We don't hike.
1:41
Speaker 2: It's crazy that you call me thinking that I know
1:42
Speaker 2: anything about hiking.
1:43
Speaker 3: I don't know.
1:43
Speaker 2: Just because I grew up in the country does not
1:45
Speaker 2: mean I know something about hiking.
1:46
Speaker 1: You would have known more than me.
1:47
Speaker 2: I had no idea.
1:48
Speaker 1: I had to get rain suits and.
1:49
Speaker 2: Are you sure he's just not going camping?
1:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, camping, but they're going hiking while they're going camping.
1:54
Speaker 2: Oh, okay. They ain't never been camping either, by the way.
1:57
Speaker 1: Was it a Boy Scout or nothing?
2:00
Speaker 2: A Boy Scout?
2:00
Speaker 4: I don't know.
2:01
Speaker 2: I know Rampage is the last Boy Scout. I thought
2:03
Speaker 2: it was not no damn Boy Scout. I'm glad you
2:06
Speaker 2: didn't answer. My daughter a Girl Scout now, and I
2:08
Speaker 2: don't even know what the hell that means.
2:09
Speaker 1: Okay, all I know is that some cookies come in.
2:11
Speaker 2: A couple times a year, and you know you got
2:13
Speaker 2: to meet Dakota, cookies, and that's about it. But I
2:15
Speaker 2: had no idea. Boy Scout.
2:17
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I didn't know what to get.
2:18
Speaker 1: I just got a Nike Tech fleece suit. That's all
2:21
Speaker 1: I knew. I had no idea.
2:22
Speaker 2: So is he camping or hiking?
2:23
Speaker 1: He's both.
2:24
Speaker 2: So he's going camping, but they're hiking. On the camping,
2:26
Speaker 2: they're hiking.
2:27
Speaker 3: Right.
2:28
Speaker 1: Then I had to check the weather. It's supposed to
2:29
Speaker 1: be raining. But it's going to be warm, so he
2:31
Speaker 1: doesn't need winter stuff. But I still got him long
2:33
Speaker 1: johns just in case.
2:34
Speaker 2: Where is that?
2:35
Speaker 3: In Jersey?
2:35
Speaker 2: In New York somewhere. I don't know. Nothing about no hiking,
2:38
Speaker 2: especially in New York.
2:40
Speaker 1: You didn't answer that.
2:40
Speaker 2: You're going to hike up 55th Street? I had no idea.
2:42
Speaker 2: I had no clue.
2:43
Speaker 1: I was so confused in Dix yesterday.
2:44
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous. By the way, after all these years,
2:47
Speaker 2: you still don't know what to do in Dix.
2:48
Speaker 3: You know what?
2:49
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I would think you have some experience, King.
2:51
Speaker 2: You know what? Let's get the show started. Now, I
2:53
Speaker 2: would like to say, too, there's trash all over the
2:54
Speaker 2: street here in New York City.
2:56
Speaker 3: Right.
2:57
Speaker 2: Mondani, get your people on it. Come pick up. Speaking
2:59
Speaker 2: of hiking, it's mountains of trash. I don't know what
3:01
Speaker 2: the hell y'all got going on.

Speaker 2: Ninja Rats that you'd think Master Splinter was something. I've
3:26
Speaker 2: been hearing some stories about some life-size looking rats. Why
3:30
Speaker 2: do we say life-size? It's just not real life. Human size.
3:32
Speaker 3: Human size.

Speaker 6: Good morning, guys. How are we doing this morning?
5:50
Speaker 3: Good.
5:51
Speaker 7: Good morning.
5:51
Speaker 6: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
5:54
Speaker 6: largest injury law firm. So we start this morning with
5:57
Speaker 6: the new White House press secretary who held her first
6:00
Speaker 6: briefing with reporters yesterday. It was about 14 minutes. Her
6:04
Speaker 6: name is Katie Zachariah. She stepped behind the podium yesterday
6:08
Speaker 6: for the first time, taking over for Caroline Leavitt. And
6:11
Speaker 6: it was a rocky debut. She appeared nervous at times,
6:14
Speaker 6: stumbling over words as she read from her prepared remarks.
6:18
Speaker 6: Let's take a listen.
6:20
Speaker 8: We will be, we will be doing, there's $ 54 billion
6:25
Speaker 8: tied to the Alaska LNG pipeline and terminal. So my president,
6:30
Speaker 8: excuse me, my husband, that's a good one. And now
6:34
Speaker 8: we are, have a booming economy and a great relationship
6:38
Speaker 8: with Venezuela. I want to thank President Trump for his
6:42
Speaker 8: trust that he has placed in me. I have wanted
6:45
Speaker 8: to work for him for a very long time.
6:49
Speaker 2: Those damn DEI hires, man. I mean, when people don't
6:52
Speaker 2: earn positions and they just know certain people and then
6:54
Speaker 2: they get put in certain positions that they may not
6:56
Speaker 2: be qualified for, that's what happens.
7:00
Speaker 6: She took just three questions from conservative-leaning news outlets before
7:04
Speaker 6: ending the briefing, but she did make one major announcement.
7:07
Speaker 6: President Trump has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle She is the U.S.
7:10
Speaker 6: ambassador to Greece to resign. So Guilfoyle, she was once
7:14
Speaker 6: engaged to Donald Trump Jr.
7:16
Speaker 4: That's a name there, Guilfoyle.
7:18
Speaker 6: Guilfoyle.
7:19
Speaker 3: Jesus.
7:19
Speaker 6: Yes. She's facing allegations of misconduct, including claims that she
7:24
Speaker 6: asked a political donor for $ 100, 000 to pay off her
7:25
Speaker 6: personal credit card.
7:29
Speaker 2: High turnover rate when you're a woman working in the
7:31
Speaker 2: Trump administration.
7:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
7:33
Speaker 2: That woman you just named who, you know, was stuttering
7:35
Speaker 2: and bumbling, she'll probably be on the chopping block one day, too.
7:38
Speaker 3: Sure.
7:39
Speaker 6: There's a kind of like an ongoing bet to see
7:42
Speaker 6: if she's going to last past Scaramucci, who I think
7:44
Speaker 6: lasted about 10 to 11 days. And we have more
7:48
Speaker 6: details this morning about the federal investigation that led to
7:50
Speaker 6: the raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home. So according to
7:54
Speaker 6: The Washington Post. Investigators are looking into whether Omar or
7:58
Speaker 6: her late father lied on immigration paper decades ago to
8:03
Speaker 6: obtain legal status and eventually U.S. citizenship. Omar came to
8:07
Speaker 6: the United States from Somalia in 1995. She was a teenager.
8:11
Speaker 6: She denies the allegation. She calls them baseless lies. The investigation, though,
8:16
Speaker 6: comes just weeks before the midterm elections. And so far,
8:19
Speaker 6: no criminal charges have been announced. And meanwhile, the Trump
8:24
Speaker 6: administration is now investigating Wells Fargo over its effort to
8:28
Speaker 6: help more black Americans buy homes. So the Department of
8:32
Speaker 6: Housing and Urban Development, they want to know whether programs
8:35
Speaker 6: aimed at black and minority home buyers violate federal housing laws.
8:41
Speaker 6: Here's HUD Secretary Scott Turner.
8:43
Speaker 9: We believe that Wells Fargo has violated the Fair Housing Act,
8:46
Speaker 9: and so we launched this investigation.
8:49
Speaker 1: Lending should not be based on race.
8:53
Speaker 9: You know, this is race-based practices, and so this goes
8:55
Speaker 9: against the law. And so we will make sure we
8:58
Speaker 9: hold Wells Fargo and anyone else doing these practices, hold
9:01
Speaker 9: them accountable.
9:02
Speaker 2: Isn't that hypocritical coming from the HUD secretary? Like his
9:04
Speaker 2: job is race-based. He's the secretary of housing and urban
9:09
Speaker 2: development because he's a black man.
9:11
Speaker 6: And fair housing was created for black people. But there's
9:14
Speaker 6: an even bigger irony here. So Wells Fargo, it previously
9:17
Speaker 6: paid millions of dollars to settle. that it charged black
9:21
Speaker 6: and Hispanic borrowers more than it charged white borrowers.
9:24
Speaker 4: I heard about that a few years ago. Yes, that's
9:26
Speaker 4: when it happened.
9:26
Speaker 6: It happened a few years ago. So they pledged $ 60
9:29
Speaker 6: billion to help 250,000 black Americans become homeowners by 2027.
9:35
Speaker 6: And so now you're saying that we can't do that
9:38
Speaker 6: because we can't help black people. But this happened under
9:41
Speaker 6: the first Trump administration. And now, you know, under his
9:44
Speaker 6: second term. He's saying we can't do things like that.
9:47
Speaker 2: At least they're saying it out loud. You know, I mean,
9:48
Speaker 2: they don't they don't want to have any systems in
9:51
Speaker 2: place to help black people, which is all the more
9:53
Speaker 2: reason that black people need to help themselves.
9:56
Speaker 6: Very, very true. Very, very true. So now the administration
9:59
Speaker 6: is questioning. whether these efforts discriminate against others, i.e.
10:03
Speaker 2: White people.
10:04
Speaker 6: So that's where we have it. All right. Coming up
10:07
Speaker 6: at seven, guys, Kamala Harris is keeping everybody guessing about
10:11
Speaker 6: another run for president. But she recently sat down for
10:14
Speaker 6: an interview and she Answered the question, sort of. We'll
10:17
Speaker 6: talk about it in the next hour. Yeah. This hour
10:21
Speaker 6: was sponsored by Morgan & Morgan. Injured, know your worth.

11:32
Speaker 4: Okay.
11:33
Speaker 11: And Indy, when I was in the military in the 1900s,
11:37
Speaker 11: I visited China. And I had a ball. It was wonderful.
11:42
Speaker 2: Out in China?
11:43
Speaker 1: Back then, yeah.
11:44
Speaker 11: Back then, we were in Beijing. They didn't see a
11:47
Speaker 11: lot of black people, so we were treated like you know,
11:50
Speaker 11: people when they see Santa Claus. It was wonderful.
11:52
Speaker 1: It's still like that now.
11:54
Speaker 2: Can I say something real quick?
11:56
Speaker 4: Go ahead, finish.
11:57

12:12
Speaker 4: She don't know exactly.
12:14
Speaker 2: No, we don't.
12:15
Speaker 1: Especially when you're walking around the city, Mary, it's still
12:17
Speaker 1: like that.
12:17
Speaker 4: Well, you was a witness of Jehovah, so you wouldn't
12:19
Speaker 4: even know.
12:20
Speaker 2: You ain't never seen Santa Claus. Now you got them arguing, Mary.
12:22
Speaker 9: You see what you did, Mary?
12:23
Speaker 1: You see what you did, Mary? But yes, especially with
12:26
Speaker 1: me with Mercedes. Mercedes is like 6'2, black woman. When
12:29
Speaker 1: she walks around, oh my gosh, they run around with cameras.
12:33
Speaker 11: Well, they did it with me. They did it with me.
12:35
Speaker 11: They were always asking me to do it with me.
12:38

Speaker 11: the person on the phone, I want to thank you
12:43
Speaker 11: for your.
12:43
Speaker 14: Mental health expo with my military service.
12:48
Speaker 11: You know, there are some mental health issues.
12:51
Speaker 14: The VA has been wonderful, but I brought this up
12:53
Speaker 14: because at first I was embarrassed to talk about it.
12:56
Speaker 11: With my family.
12:57
Speaker 14: And then when I started talking about it with my family,
12:59
Speaker 14: I was amazed at how many of my black cousins, brothers,
13:03
Speaker 14: people who have been in jail talked about it. So
13:06
Speaker 14: I just want to thank you for putting it out there,
13:07
Speaker 14: but to also let you know that they are talking
13:10
Speaker 14: about it. People are talking about mental health amongst the
13:13
Speaker 14: black people. And I just wanted to thank you.

20:18
Speaker 1: My man would never.
20:19
Speaker 4: That is not what I said. That is not what
20:22
Speaker 4: I said. We were live on Netflix. So the people
20:23
Speaker 4: heard it.
20:24
Speaker 13: And if it came off that way, I didn't mean
20:25
Speaker 13: it that way.
20:27
Speaker 4: All right, y'all. I'm not ungrateful. I'm very grateful.
20:29
Speaker 13: Thank you to the iHeart podcast team and Jamicia, our EP.
20:32
Speaker 13: I love her so much. So thank you guys.
20:35
Speaker 4: Now, let's shift gears a bit. So I want to
20:37
Speaker 4: start off.
20:37
Speaker 13: The latest this morning talking about this amazing project that
20:41
Speaker 13: Kehlani is executive producing. So do you guys remember when
20:44
Speaker 13: we had JJ88 and Richie Rosetta up here?
20:47
Speaker 3: Yes.
20:48
Speaker 13: They were talking about that documentary. They were talking about
20:53
Speaker 13: the Netflix documentary that they were putting out. It was
20:55
Speaker 13: a visual album called Songs from the Hole.
20:56
Speaker 5: Remember?
20:57
Speaker 13: And JJ88, he was locked up with the guy that
21:01
Speaker 13: he then found out actually killed his brother.
21:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
21:02
Speaker 13: So they have this series that they're doing, and it's
21:05
Speaker 13: on YouTube. The first episode is out. It's also called
21:08
Speaker 13: Live from the Hole, but this one's different. They sit
21:10
Speaker 13: down with women at a prison in California, and they're
21:14
Speaker 13: literally healing through their traumas together. Now, Kehlani is the EP,
21:19
Speaker 13: but Kehlani has dealt with a lot of this on
21:21
Speaker 13: her own because she grew up in the prison system
21:23
Speaker 13: to a certain extent because of her parents. I had
21:25
Speaker 13: no idea how deep it was for her. Let's take
21:28
Speaker 13: a listen to Kehlani on her parents in jail.
21:30
Speaker 16: I was nervous coming in because I do not actively
21:37
Speaker 16: process my parents. Both of my parents were incarcerated, my
21:43
Speaker 16: father Joined a gang when he was in Sentinella and
21:46
Speaker 16: then died because of it less than a year out.
21:48
Speaker 16: My mother was in and out of prison. My mother
21:50
Speaker 16: has actually been here. Some of you guys know my
21:52
Speaker 16: mom more than I know my mom.
21:53
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm getting emotional.
21:54
Speaker 16: I don't talk about this. I remember being a kid
21:58
Speaker 16: and saying they took my mom. And I remember being
22:00
Speaker 16: a kid and saying my dad is gone. And this
22:03
Speaker 16: is all I have. I have photos from inside of here.
22:06
Speaker 16: This is Lala, which apparently he could sing. So now
22:09
Speaker 16: we know where I got the vocals from, which nobody
22:12
Speaker 16: else in my family can hold a note.
22:13
Speaker 4: So thanks, Dad. Wow.
22:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:17
Speaker 13: And she gets a lot into her background with her
22:19
Speaker 13: parents and like the relationship and what didn't happen. And
22:22
Speaker 13: they're at the California Institute for Institution for Women. I
22:25
Speaker 13: want to say the name of the prison. Let's take
22:27
Speaker 13: a listen to Kehlani on in her mom's background in
22:29
Speaker 13: a new relationship.
22:31
Speaker 16: My mom was on a run when she had me.
22:33
Speaker 16: And then she goes into labor, and upon me getting
22:35
Speaker 16: to the hospital, they take her in to arrest her.
22:38
Speaker 16: We don't have a relationship at all. I was raised
22:40
Speaker 16: by my aunt. I'm an understanding person and I pride
22:42
Speaker 16: myself on being able to see.
22:45
Speaker 4: People in that way.
22:46
Speaker 16: But the little hurt girl in me who's had to
22:48
Speaker 16: come do visits and, you know, didn't have her. And
22:51
Speaker 16: then even when she got out, it's been an addiction struggle.
22:53
Speaker 16: So we don't have a relationship as adults. And I'm
22:55
Speaker 16: a mother as well. And healing my little girl while
22:59
Speaker 16: raising a little girl has been.
23:00
Speaker 4: Such a like.
23:01
Speaker 16: I remember the lies of like, she's on vacation.
23:04
Speaker 15: She's at work.
23:05
Speaker 16: I remember her trying to get clean and not being
23:08
Speaker 16: able to stay clean because she couldn't get a job.
23:10
Speaker 16: She couldn't get a job because she's a felon. And
23:12
Speaker 16: there's like this endless cycle of like, she's never going
23:15
Speaker 16: to be okay.
23:15
Speaker 4: What's your process like in like forgiving your mom?
23:18
Speaker 16: My mother has never been accountable. She completely shuts down
23:22
Speaker 16: and she's like, I hate myself. I'm so stupid.
23:24
Speaker 3: I'm so this.
23:25
Speaker 16: And like, I don't know how.
23:26
Speaker 4: To comfort her through that.
23:27
Speaker 17: Then I'm the parent and then I'm parenting my mother.
23:30
Speaker 3: Wow.
23:30
Speaker 2: I'm glad they turned that into a series.
23:32
Speaker 3: Yes.
23:32
Speaker 2: If you've ever seen the documentary, the visual album, it's
23:36
Speaker 2: just incredible the way that they do their storytelling. So
23:38
Speaker 2: I'm glad they turned that into a series. They actually
23:39
Speaker 2: won an Emmy earlier this year.
23:41
Speaker 1: Yes, they did.
23:41
Speaker 13: Now, another great thing that happens within the series is
23:45
Speaker 13: it's not just all about Kehlani. There are women in
23:47
Speaker 13: the institution who are also sharing their stories. A lot
23:50
Speaker 13: of these women entered at 15, 16 years old and
23:52
Speaker 13: have been there for decades at this.
23:55
Speaker 17: Point, right?
23:56
Speaker 13: And they talk about how when you are incarcerated there,
23:58
Speaker 13: you know, we talk about rehabilitation of prison system or
24:00
Speaker 13: lack thereof. There's no like transformation of healing. Like a
24:03
Speaker 13: lot of them are not able to once they learn
24:05
Speaker 13: through things, go back and have conversations with the people
24:08
Speaker 13: that harm them or they harmed or whatever.
24:10
Speaker 6: So this.
24:11
Speaker 13: You know, circle up that is happening. It's providing this
24:13
Speaker 13: release for them that they've literally never experienced. So you're
24:16
Speaker 13: watching that in real time.
24:18
Speaker 12: And I love how Kehlani was actually able to talk
24:21
Speaker 12: about it. She said she's never talked about it and
24:23
Speaker 12: she doesn't talk about those things, but there had to
24:25
Speaker 12: be some sort of step toward healing for her as well,
24:28
Speaker 12: you know, or some type of closure, whatever, you know
24:30
Speaker 12: what I mean? Cause I can't say it's closure cause
24:32
Speaker 12: her mom is still here, but hopefully later on, you know,
24:37
Speaker 12: she grows.
24:37
Speaker 4: A relationship with her mom.
24:40
Speaker 2: Or maybe not.
24:40
Speaker 4: I was about to say, I think it just... Or
24:42
Speaker 4: maybe not, but it's still hopeful that she does.
24:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is tough.
24:45
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's tough.
24:46
Speaker 12: But the lady got grandkids, you know, a granddaughter and
24:48
Speaker 12: all that. And I know Kehlani would... You know, who
24:51
Speaker 12: doesn't want a relationship with their mother?
24:53
Speaker 3: Yeah.
24:53
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people.
24:54
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
24:56
Speaker 2: It's easy to say, but we don't be knowing what
24:58
Speaker 2: these mothers be doing to these kids. Like, some of
25:00
Speaker 2: these be very toxic environments. But I get what you're saying.
25:03
Speaker 1: You're hoping the mother gets healed so she can have
25:05
Speaker 1: a relationship with her grandma and her granddaughter and all that.
25:08
Speaker 13: And Kehlani talks about, like, she had a baby brother
25:11
Speaker 13: that would have been here, but when her mom was
25:13
Speaker 13: having the baby, she was locked up and physically was
25:16
Speaker 13: in handcuffs. They never even took the handcuffs off or
25:18
Speaker 13: never took her underwear off. So the baby came out
25:20
Speaker 13: but was not alive. And because of that, it's been,
25:24
Speaker 13: of course, it affected their relationship and her mental and
25:27
Speaker 13: all these things.
25:27
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of things.
25:30
Speaker 13: That, you know, because her mother and her father were
25:32
Speaker 13: going through the prison system, when it comes to how
25:35
Speaker 13: they parented her or lack thereof, like she just.
25:37
Speaker 4: hasn't been able to figure out on her own.
25:39
Speaker 2: If I remember correctly, Kalani's mom got locked up, like,
25:42
Speaker 2: soon as she gave birth to Kalani.
25:43
Speaker 1: Like, she was on the run.
25:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what she was saying.
25:45
Speaker 3: Yep.
25:45
Speaker 4: That's what she just said.
25:46
Speaker 13: And literally, she says in here, too, that, like, even
25:48
Speaker 13: the passing of her father was at the hands of
25:51
Speaker 13: the gang that he joined while he was in prison.
25:53
Speaker 13: So she always thinks, if he had been able to, like,
25:55
Speaker 13: not be in prison for as long, not feel like
25:57
Speaker 13: he needed to be protected in prison... not have to
25:59
Speaker 13: join this gang, would he still be here and would
26:02
Speaker 13: she still have her father? But a lot of the
26:03
Speaker 13: women in this are dealing with that circle effect of
26:06
Speaker 13: once you're in the system, how it trickles down into
26:08
Speaker 13: your life, your kid's life, stuff like that.
26:10
Speaker 12: It's very crazy that they treated that lady like an
26:12
Speaker 12: animal when she was giving birth and didn't, you know,
26:15
Speaker 12: uncuff her.
26:16
Speaker 2: You ain't never seen a woman be in handcuffs?
26:19
Speaker 6: It's so sad.
26:20
Speaker 2: Giving birth? Yes.
26:21
Speaker 4: No, I never seen it. That's so unfortunate. Like, she's
26:25
Speaker 4: not an animal.
26:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.

26:57
Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are
27:01
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
27:04

27:13
Speaker 2: What's up, Mimi?
27:13
Speaker 6: Good morning, guys.
27:14
Speaker 4: How are we doing this hour?
27:15
Speaker 3: Good.
27:15
Speaker 15: Hey, girl.
27:16
Speaker 6: Good morning. So Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
27:19
Speaker 6: America's largest injury law firm. So we start this morning
27:23
Speaker 6: with former Vice President Kamala Harris, who is speaking out
27:27
Speaker 6: about what's at stake in the upcoming midterm elections and
27:30
Speaker 6: whether she's going to make another run for president. So
27:33
Speaker 6: in a wide-ranging interview with Keke Palmer, Harris talked about
27:36
Speaker 6: voting rights, the future of the country, and what she
27:39
Speaker 6: believes Americans need to pay attention to right now. One
27:42
Speaker 6: of her biggest concerns is voting rights. So she talked
27:45
Speaker 6: about the Supreme Court and the weakening of the Voting
27:48
Speaker 6: Rights Act and warning that black communities will lose political power,
27:53
Speaker 6: political representation in this upcoming midterm, just depending on, you know,
27:58
Speaker 6: showing up and how we redistrict and all of those
28:00
Speaker 6: good things. Let's take a listen.
28:02
Speaker 15: My work has been about saying we got to we
28:05
Speaker 15: got to fight for these issues and we have to
28:07
Speaker 15: call it what it is. So part of what I've
28:09
Speaker 15: been talking about is that that decision basically.
28:13
Speaker 4: They said, well, you know, it's politics.
28:15
Speaker 15: It's OK if they redistrict around race because it's just politics.
28:22
Speaker 3: No.
28:22
Speaker 15: And so what I've been saying, because it is what
28:24
Speaker 15: I absolutely believe. No, they have backdoored racism through the
28:28
Speaker 15: door of politics because of that decision. it is estimated
28:32
Speaker 15: we could lose as many as 200 state black legislators
28:36
Speaker 15: in the South.
28:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's a lot.
28:41
Speaker 6: 200 black state legislators in the South. And with just
28:45
Speaker 6: 20 days until midterm election, Harris says voters, they have
28:49
Speaker 6: a chance to change the decisions happening in Washington. Let's
28:53
Speaker 6: listen to what she said about that.
28:55
Speaker 15: On the first Tuesday in November, the midterms are going
28:59
Speaker 15: to happen. Our ability to put people in Congress who
29:04
Speaker 15: will say no when they do things like cut $ 1
29:07
Speaker 15: trillion out of Medicaid will be powerful and affect people
29:12
Speaker 15: right away. Our ability to put people in Congress who
29:16
Speaker 15: will say enough of the corruption, enough of ending the
29:22
Speaker 15: funding for drugs, Research on issues like fibroids, which they
29:28
Speaker 15: have done under the guise of attacking DEI, can be stopped.
29:32
Speaker 15: There are things that are not only about what will
29:35
Speaker 15: be helpful, but also stopping what is harmful that we
29:38
Speaker 15: can do right away with these medications.
29:40
Speaker 4: Elections.
29:42
Speaker 1: You think we had a time of political exhaustion where
29:44
Speaker 1: people are just tired?
29:45
Speaker 3: No, hell no.
29:47
Speaker 2: And now better not be the time to be tired
29:48
Speaker 2: with the election in three weeks.
29:51
Speaker 1: I think people are tired.
29:52
Speaker 2: You tired of being broke?
29:53
Speaker 1: I think people are tired.
29:55
Speaker 2: You tired of being broke?
29:56
Speaker 1: It's not about tired of being broke or tired of
29:57
Speaker 1: not being able to afford my groceries or gas too expensive.
30:00
Speaker 2: That's what you should be tired of. I think people
30:02
Speaker 2: are just to the point right now.
30:03
Speaker 1: They're tired of politicians that they feel are just car salespeople,
30:07
Speaker 1: are just selling them things, selling them things until it
30:09
Speaker 1: comes to fruition.
30:10
Speaker 2: And now is not the time to feel that way.
30:11
Speaker 2: Because over the last two years, we've seen what happens
30:14
Speaker 2: when you have that type of exhaustion. We see what
30:16
Speaker 2: happens when you decide to sit your tired ass on
30:18
Speaker 2: the couch in 2024. And then two years later, we're
30:21
Speaker 2: in the position that we're in now. So now is
30:23
Speaker 2: not to be tired. I don't feel that way. I
30:24
Speaker 2: feel like people are actually energized.
30:25
Speaker 12: I feel you, but I get what you're saying because
30:27
Speaker 12: there's a lot of people that are just like, They
30:29
Speaker 12: don't trust. They don't know who to trust.
30:33
Speaker 6: I'm glad that you said that, Envy. They feel taken
30:35
Speaker 6: for granted because she had this to say about why
30:38
Speaker 6: people need to want something in exchange for their vote.
30:42
Speaker 15: We need to be transactional voters, meaning let's not only
30:46
Speaker 15: vote because we honor the ancestors and those who lost
30:50
Speaker 15: blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, but let's vote also
30:53
Speaker 15: because we expect to get something out of it that
30:55
Speaker 15: relates to The health care we can't afford, the child
30:59
Speaker 15: care we can't afford, the housing we can't afford.
31:02
Speaker 2: I've always said that. Quid pro quo, baby. But, you know,
31:04
Speaker 2: my advice for the vice president, former vice president Kamala
31:08
Speaker 2: Harris or any candidate is explain your vision for the future. OK,
31:11
Speaker 2: we all know Trump and MAGA have been terrible for
31:14
Speaker 2: this country. But guess what? Trump isn't running in 2028.
31:16
Speaker 2: All right. And if he does, then democracy, as we
31:18
Speaker 2: know it, is already gone. So instead of telling us.
31:21
Speaker 2: you know, how bad Trump is, how bad MAGA is.
31:23
Speaker 2: Tell us how you plan to make people's lives better.
31:26
Speaker 2: And that goes for both parties. Because, you know, what
31:30
Speaker 2: is your vision for the future of America post-Trump? Because, hell,
31:34
Speaker 2: there might be a Republican who's not MAGA, who denounces MAGA,
31:38
Speaker 2: who comes out in 2028 and lays out a vision
31:41
Speaker 2: for the future of this country that people may buy into.
31:43
Speaker 2: So what is your vision for the future? Because Trump
31:46
Speaker 2: is not running in 2020. We hope not. What you
31:49
Speaker 2: mean we hope not? If he does, then democracy as
31:52
Speaker 2: we know it is over. If he does, the fight
31:55
Speaker 2: is already fixed. Why do we say stupid things like that?
31:57
Speaker 4: I mean, because he says stupid things like that.
32:00
Speaker 2: That is true.
32:01
Speaker 1: But if he runs, guess what?
32:02
Speaker 2: It's over. It's done. Democracy as you know it is
32:05
Speaker 2: a wrap. The Constitution means nothing anymore.
32:08
Speaker 1: I don't mean nothing to him right now.
32:11
Speaker 2: Well, there's still some laws in place, we hope. There's
32:13
Speaker 2: still some guardrails in place, we hope.
32:16
Speaker 6: Well, she was also asked whether she'll make another run
32:18
Speaker 6: for president. She didn't say yes or no. She just
32:22
Speaker 6: said she hasn't decided yet, but says 2028 won't matter
32:25
Speaker 6: if Democrats do not get 2026 right. So that's kind
32:29
Speaker 6: of how they ended that. And we do have a
32:32
Speaker 6: heartbreaking update about the Atlanta father. We talked about this yesterday,
32:35
Speaker 6: the man who fell to his death on that roller
32:37
Speaker 6: coaster at Six Flags yesterday. So it turns out that
32:41
Speaker 6: this man had already survived cancer, a serious battle with COVID,
32:45
Speaker 6: and just weeks ago, he escaped a car fire with
32:48
Speaker 6: his daughter.
32:48
Speaker 2: That's some Final Destinations.
32:50
Speaker 4: Yes, what the hell?
32:51
Speaker 15: Right?
32:52
Speaker 6: His name is 42-year-old Hassan Kareem. He was riding the
32:56
Speaker 6: Goliath roller coaster on Monday with his son when he
32:59
Speaker 6: fell from the ride.
33:00
Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
33:02
Speaker 3: Yes.
33:02
Speaker 6: We're learning that he was an educator who spent 12
33:05
Speaker 6: years working with students in Atlanta. His family members are
33:08
Speaker 6: now speaking out this morning.
33:10
Speaker 20: We are absolutely devastated by this loss. Any loss of
33:14
Speaker 20: a family member, friends is tragic. But to lose him
33:19
Speaker 20: in this manner, this way is beyond words, can't even
33:24
Speaker 20: express it. I just really want a full investigation and
33:28
Speaker 20: we want answers about how this happened.
33:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:33
Speaker 6: So also, the family is also asking people to stop
33:37
Speaker 6: sharing photos and videos of his final moments on social media.
33:42
Speaker 6: They're saying that they're seeing this.
33:43
Speaker 4: It is painful.
33:44
Speaker 12: Yeah, honestly, wouldn't even be on social media if I
33:47
Speaker 12: were them. I mean, because it's inevitable these days. That's
33:50
Speaker 12: what you're going to see. People ain't going to stop
33:53
Speaker 12: posting stuff.
33:54
Speaker 1: Is death.
33:55
Speaker 6: You know what I mean? Well, they're asking people to
33:58
Speaker 6: stop doing that. They're just saying that it's just hard
34:00
Speaker 6: to watch. Meanwhile, Six Flags, they shut down nine rides
34:04
Speaker 6: similar to that one while investigators work to determine what
34:07
Speaker 6: went wrong so far. Officials have not determined what caused
34:11
Speaker 6: that fall yet, guys.
34:12
Speaker 4: Has anybody else hurt? I know he, his.
34:15
Speaker 6: There were some other people taken to the hospital because
34:17
Speaker 6: as he came down, I think he hit other people.
34:19
Speaker 2: Right, Jesus.
34:20
Speaker 6: Damn.
34:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
34:22
Speaker 6: And before we get out of here, just quickly, a reminder,
34:25
Speaker 6: we know that Halloween is at the end of the month,
34:28
Speaker 6: but as everything else, Halloween candy is going to be
34:30
Speaker 6: more expensive this year, so... With people struggling to pay
34:35
Speaker 6: for groceries, gas, electricity, handing out candy is going to
34:38
Speaker 6: become another expense. Those large bags that maybe we used
34:41
Speaker 6: to get for like $ 12. 99, they're going to be $ 25
34:45
Speaker 6: basically this year. So two, three bags of candy is
34:48
Speaker 6: going to run you $ 75.
34:49
Speaker 1: Just turn your light off.
34:50
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to say.
34:51
Speaker 6: A lot of people are going to have their porch
34:53
Speaker 6: light off this year.
34:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, turn the light off and don't get candy corn.
34:56
Speaker 1: Them candy corn is going to garbage anyway. That's just
34:58
Speaker 1: a waste of your money. Do not buy them kids
34:59
Speaker 1: candy corn.
35:00
Speaker 2: They don't eat them. Just turn your light off.
35:02
Speaker 4: And candy don't taste like it used to back in
35:04
Speaker 4: the day.
35:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
35:05
Speaker 3: So, yeah.
35:05
Speaker 2: So, you don't want the kids to trick-or-treat?
35:07
Speaker 5: No.
35:08
Speaker 1: If you can't afford it, just turn the light off.
35:09
Speaker 1: Just don't get the candy on.
35:10
Speaker 3: That's all.
35:10
Speaker 4: Well, start giving out something else.
35:12
Speaker 12: You know, we got crackers, Ritz crackers, saltines.
35:15
Speaker 2: You know, give them something else.
35:16
Speaker 4: Hands are turning.
35:17
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I can't. She said can't.
35:19
Speaker 4: Give them away something.
35:21
Speaker 3: No.
35:22

Speaker 4: Good morning, sir. Good morning, Stephen.
36:23
Speaker 5: Good morning. Thank you for having me. You've been talking
36:25
Speaker 5: about making a lot of money last year. Right.
36:28
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
36:29
Speaker 3: Mr. $ 200 million.
36:29
Speaker 2: Over there in that corner, there's a lot of work
36:32
Speaker 2: going on. But nah, salute to Steven, man. I really
36:37
Speaker 2: enjoy what it is that you do. How are you,
36:39
Speaker 2: first of all?
36:39
Speaker 3: I'm good.
36:40
Speaker 2: I'm good.
36:40
Speaker 5: I've been traveling a lot over the last couple of weeks.
36:42
Speaker 5: I'm a bit all over the place. I spend about 90%
36:45
Speaker 5: of my time, 95% of my time probably on my business,
36:48
Speaker 5: which is the... media company behind the podcast. And I
36:51
Speaker 5: spend honestly about 5% of my time on the podcast.
36:53
Speaker 5: So I've been all over the world in the last
36:55
Speaker 5: 10 days, Australia, Helsinki, Oslo, Amsterdam, Munich, LA, New York, Nashville.
37:02
Speaker 5: And that's what my life looks like. It's rolling around
37:03
Speaker 5: with my team on my sort of remote office. And
37:06
Speaker 5: we're building a bigger sort of media company. And the
37:08
Speaker 5: diary of a CEO is one piece of that. So,
37:10
Speaker 5: but I'm so happy to be here because I've watched
37:12
Speaker 5: the show since I was a kid. So these things
37:13
Speaker 5: are so surreal for me. Being in environments like this,
37:16
Speaker 5: it's all very, very strange for me.
37:18
Speaker 2: When you launched Diary of a CEO, did you launch
37:20
Speaker 2: with the mindset of, okay, I'm going to start this
37:23
Speaker 2: podcast and a media company, or was it just, I'm.
37:27
Speaker 5: Going to start this podcast? So I, it was 2017.
37:33
Speaker 5: I started it in my bed. I went to the
37:35
Speaker 5: Apple store, bought a $ 100 microphone, tried to record it myself.
37:37
Speaker 5: I got this sock and put it over it because
37:39
Speaker 5: there was... coming through the microphone. I'm sat there at
37:42
Speaker 5: 2 AM doing it in garage band. I publish it.
37:44
Speaker 5: Nobody really listens. A couple of years goes by 2019.
37:47
Speaker 5: I'm living in New York city, running my business out here,
37:49
Speaker 5: running the New York office and the world shuts down.
37:52
Speaker 5: I resigned from my company. The company had gone public
37:55
Speaker 5: through this merger. Um, and I asked myself, what would
37:57
Speaker 5: I do if money no longer mattered? Cause 2019 no
38:00
Speaker 5: longer mattered to me. So I thought, well, that podcast
38:03
Speaker 5: I used to do in 2017, I really enjoyed it.
38:05
Speaker 5: So I said, I'm going to do it every week.
38:07
Speaker 5: So from 2019, I was doing it as a hobby.
38:10
Speaker 5: It was my little hobby on the side. But I
38:12
Speaker 5: applied the same principles to building business, to media, to audience,
38:16
Speaker 5: to commercializing media that I'd learned through my 20s. Through
38:19
Speaker 5: my 20s, I ran a marketing company that did marketing
38:22
Speaker 5: for brands like Uber and Apple, and we worked with Amazon.
38:25
Speaker 5: So it was just taking those principles of audience and
38:28
Speaker 5: commercialization and team building and applying it to a podcast.
38:32
Speaker 5: So in that regard, I had an unfair advantage because
38:33
Speaker 5: through my 20s, I was building huge audiences of hundreds
38:37
Speaker 5: of millions on the internet. So it's just, it's those
38:39
Speaker 5: principles I think to audience building. And I applied it
38:42
Speaker 5: to a hobby that I had and I had no
38:44
Speaker 5: idea it'd be this, but I have to say the
38:46
Speaker 5: minute I tried podcasting and realized it was my Ica guy,
38:50
Speaker 5: I think it's something I can get good at. I
38:51
Speaker 5: enjoy it. I think it helps the world. Um, and
38:54
Speaker 5: it's remunerative. I said to my team, what, six years ago,
38:57
Speaker 5: I said the last company I ever built will be
38:58
Speaker 5: a media company. And I think we need more independent
39:02
Speaker 5: media businesses that, um, that are, that have a, a
39:06
Speaker 5: different perspective on the world. And I knew then five
39:08
Speaker 5: years ago that that's what I do. So that's what
39:10
Speaker 5: we do now. We have 800 creators on our hosting
39:13
Speaker 5: their shows, their podcasts on our platform. We have about
39:16
Speaker 5: 50 that we've signed everybody from people like, you know, uh,
39:18
Speaker 5: Tony Robbins. And then we have about almost 10 now
39:21
Speaker 5: where we're basically a co-founder with them and we build
39:24
Speaker 5: and run their entire business, everything from their production, their
39:27
Speaker 5: data science, their brand deals. We do it all in-house.
39:29
Speaker 5: And we have hundreds of people full-time building now creative
39:33
Speaker 5: businesses around these creators. So I think we can build what,
39:36
Speaker 5: you know, I refer to it as like the platform.
39:38
Speaker 5: You think about Disney, they built a platform for IP.
39:40
Speaker 5: I think our objective through my company, steven.com is to
39:43
Speaker 5: do that for creators that I think no longer need
39:47
Speaker 5: a middleman stood between them and their potential.
39:49
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that. I tell Lauren all the time.
39:51
Speaker 2: I think me and Jess have had this conversation, but
39:54
Speaker 2: people always ask me, how do you get on these,
39:57
Speaker 2: these lists, right? Like, how do you make all this
39:58
Speaker 2: money in podcasting? You have to build a business, right?
40:01
Speaker 2: around the podcast exactly i.
40:05
Speaker 13: Want to talk about the business behind your platform that
40:06
Speaker 13: you're talking about right your day-to-day yeah outside of the
40:09
Speaker 13: podcast what does that look like from a beginner standpoint
40:14
Speaker 13: before you have all the shows the first show you
40:16
Speaker 13: started after your own show yeah what was your day-to-day
40:18
Speaker 13: like as a regimen and how did you build from
40:20
Speaker 13: that show to scale all these other shows on the network.
40:23
Speaker 5: So i think you don't want to start a network
40:25
Speaker 5: unless you've got an edge Like there has to be
40:27
Speaker 5: something that you have that's going to give you what
40:29
Speaker 5: we call in business a moat, i.e. some kind of defendability.
40:32
Speaker 5: And people think that the Diary of a Seer, so
40:35
Speaker 5: this month we'll add about 900,000 subscribers on YouTube. Another
40:40
Speaker 5: 200,000 across audio. We'll do 170 million downloads this month
40:43
Speaker 5: on my show. That's not because I'm asking better questions.
40:46
Speaker 5: I'm under no illusions. Like people give me compliments and say, oh,
40:49
Speaker 5: you're a good interviewer.
40:50
Speaker 2: Not really. Sure.
40:51
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
40:52
Speaker 5: I think that's a commodity in the game of podcasting.
40:55
Speaker 5: Everybody can have AI now and ask the questions for them.
40:59
Speaker 5: For me, there's a platform we've built underneath my show,
41:03
Speaker 5: which means that we're able to kill guesswork. And so
41:06
Speaker 5: I looked at the end-to-end process of producing media and
41:08
Speaker 5: asked myself quite simply, where does guessing occur? So when
41:11
Speaker 5: you're thinking about the right guests for your audience, when
41:13
Speaker 5: you're thinking about the topics and themes that are most relevant,
41:17
Speaker 5: is there a way we can use data science to inform,
41:20
Speaker 5: to kill the inefficiency of guessing? And we built this
41:23
Speaker 5: technology platform underneath my show, which is, I think, responsible
41:26
Speaker 5: for the success we've had, both on the production side,
41:28
Speaker 5: but the commercial side. And that for us was like, right,
41:30
Speaker 5: we've got a moat now, which is scalable, where I
41:33
Speaker 5: could take a, you know, one of you guys, put
41:35
Speaker 5: a show on top of our platform. And I think
41:37
Speaker 5: I would give you an unfair advantage as it relates
41:39
Speaker 5: to media. The minute we had that built, that was
41:42
Speaker 5: the moment when we decided to build a network. And
41:44
Speaker 5: what does that look like? Honestly, the whole game of business,
41:46
Speaker 5: I've been doing business, I dropped out of university at
41:48
Speaker 5: 18 years old after one lecture.
41:50
Speaker 2: The whole game of business is people.
41:52
Speaker 5: And like you know having interviewed the greatest CEOs on
41:54
Speaker 5: planet earth whether it's the guys that built Spotify or
41:56
Speaker 5: Brian from Airbnb or Dara who built Uber their understanding
42:01
Speaker 5: of the importance of people on a graph would look
42:03
Speaker 5: like this you start your career and think it doesn't
42:04
Speaker 5: really matter and it's your hard work and you better
42:06
Speaker 5: have some good ideas and then it goes up like
42:08
Speaker 5: this like eventually Daniel like the founder of Spotify was
42:11
Speaker 5: like you know what people are the most important thing
42:13
Speaker 5: so I spend about 30 hours a week just on
42:16
Speaker 5: interviewing and hiring people Cause I think everything is downstream
42:19
Speaker 5: from that. And I wish, but it is like every idea,
42:23
Speaker 5: every marketing campaign, every deal you get is downstream from
42:25
Speaker 5: someone like a person that went out and did that
42:27
Speaker 5: for you. So my, again, my competitive advantage in building
42:30
Speaker 5: businesses is like, I'm going to spend more hours per
42:32
Speaker 5: week on trying to find truly exceptional people that I
42:35
Speaker 5: feel like I might not have a right yet to
42:37
Speaker 5: hire and ask them to come and join this mission.
42:40
Speaker 5: That is the, I wish someone told me this, like
42:41
Speaker 5: when I was 18, 19, 20, I was banging my
42:44
Speaker 5: head against the wall that like, actually the game is
42:46
Speaker 5: to go furthest upstream and and try and get people
42:49
Speaker 5: that are so exceptional at what they do to come here,
42:52
Speaker 5: to the point that you almost can't keep a straight
42:54
Speaker 5: face when you're speaking to them.
42:55
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question? Is success a form
42:56
Speaker 2: of addiction?
42:57
Speaker 5: That's a great question. I often wondered through my early
43:01
Speaker 5: years whether I'm driven or dragged, because if you accomplish something,
43:05
Speaker 5: people give you compliments. And the more I've sat there
43:07
Speaker 5: with people that are truly exceptional or anomalies, one of
43:11
Speaker 5: the patterns you find in them is that they often
43:13
Speaker 5: have an anomalous upbringing of sorts. And it can be
43:15
Speaker 5: like a little tea trauma, but it's something that often
43:18
Speaker 5: invalidated them. And then their success is really the pursuit
43:21
Speaker 5: of like curing the thing that invalidated them when they
43:23
Speaker 5: were younger. And I reflect on myself and I go, hmm, probably. Like,
43:28
Speaker 5: can I take credit for being driven when as a
43:31
Speaker 5: young man, we moved, I was born in Africa, in Botswana,
43:34
Speaker 5: moved to the UK. I have a Nigerian mother. We
43:37
Speaker 5: were the only black family in the area. There was no,
43:40
Speaker 5: you know, Plymouth in 1994. In my school days, I
43:45
Speaker 5: think it was about 2000 people. It was just me
43:47
Speaker 5: and my siblings that were the only black people really
43:49
Speaker 5: that I can recall. And then we moved into a
43:51
Speaker 5: middle-class area, but we struggled with money because of the
43:55
Speaker 5: decisions we'd made. And so you understand the context of
43:59
Speaker 5: anything in life by the, you understand the value in
44:01
Speaker 5: life by the context in which you see it. That's
44:04
Speaker 5: really like where value comes from. That's where like pretty
44:06
Speaker 5: comes from. It's an analysis of the environment that pretty
44:09
Speaker 5: exists within. Or you want to understand like worth from
44:13
Speaker 5: the context. So in my view, I had a lot
44:16
Speaker 5: of shame because we were the strange black family. I
44:20
Speaker 5: was chemically relaxing my hair to try and fit in.
44:22
Speaker 5: I'm wearing these skinny jeans and listening to like Arctic
44:24
Speaker 5: Monkeys and the Kooks to try and fit in. And
44:26
Speaker 5: then I thought that money was the cure to the shame.
44:29
Speaker 5: so my if you look at what my 14 15
44:31
Speaker 5: years old i'm doing anything to try and make some
44:33
Speaker 5: money i'm doing the vending machine deal for my secondary
44:36
Speaker 5: school so that we can make a cut and then
44:38
Speaker 5: i can make money from that and i stopped going
44:40
Speaker 5: to school because i'm not interested in that i just
44:41
Speaker 5: want to make money and it's all it all centers
44:44
Speaker 5: back to feeling a huge amount of shame and if
44:46
Speaker 5: you look at my diary at 18 years old when
44:48
Speaker 5: i dropped out university four goals before i'm 25 and
44:50
Speaker 5: i've published this diary make a million pounds get a
44:53
Speaker 5: range over sport get a six pack Get a girlfriend.
44:57
Speaker 4: Don't just skip over six packs.
45:03
Speaker 2: But I thought that was life.
45:05
Speaker 5: I thought if I get, and then I got it
45:07
Speaker 5: before 25. I went from shoplifting pizzas to getting those
45:10
Speaker 5: things before 25. And it was, oh my God, like
45:13
Speaker 5: something has lied to me. And the thing that had
45:15
Speaker 5: lied to me was like my own shame. And eventually
45:17
Speaker 5: I can stop. I could go from being dragged to
45:20
Speaker 5: holding the steering wheel and like driving my life more intentionally,
45:24
Speaker 5: which is when, you know, at 2019, I say, what
45:26
Speaker 5: would I do if money no longer mattered? And I
45:28
Speaker 5: go on podcast because I just loved it. So then
45:31
Speaker 5: you became funny how that happens. And again, we have
45:36
Speaker 5: to define success, which is, you know, once upon a time,
45:40
Speaker 5: I would have said success was the car or the,
45:42
Speaker 5: or the, the whatever. Now success for me has to be,
45:45
Speaker 5: do I wake up every day and enjoy my life?
45:47
Speaker 5: Do I look at my calendar and go, Oh my God,
45:48
Speaker 5: aren't I so lucky? Do I have these strong relationships
45:51
Speaker 5: around me? And yeah, You can say this, but then
45:54
Speaker 5: look at how I allocate my time. I flew across
45:57
Speaker 5: the planet to spend a short period of time with
46:01
Speaker 5: one of my close friends for his birthday in a
46:04
Speaker 5: basement in Manchester dressed as Will Smith. Because I was actually...
46:07
Speaker 5: Friendships are hard, especially, I think, as a man as
46:10
Speaker 5: you age. Why were you dressed as Will Smith?
46:11
Speaker 4: Because he looked like him a little bit.
46:13
Speaker 1: What's that all about?
46:14
Speaker 2: What's that all about? What's that all about?
46:17
Speaker 5: No, his birthday was you have to dress as, like,
46:19
Speaker 5: TV characters, and I thought, oh, okay, we'll see.
46:21
Speaker 20: Oh, okay.
46:22
Speaker 1: So if you stop building your business tomorrow, would you.
46:26
Speaker 4: Still know who you are?
46:46
Speaker 5: Someone said to me the other day, they said, what
46:47
Speaker 5: would you do if someone took everything away from you?
46:49
Speaker 5: And it was so funny because the first thing that
46:50
Speaker 5: popped in my mind is you can't take everything away
46:52
Speaker 5: from me. Because really what I value the most are
46:55
Speaker 5: the intangible things. It's like the knowledge I've acquired. It
46:58
Speaker 5: is the experiences that I've had. It's the relationships that
47:01
Speaker 5: I've built. And I say that when I reflect on
47:04
Speaker 5: my life, there's kind of these five buckets you fill
47:06
Speaker 5: throughout your career. The first is knowledge. The second is
47:09
Speaker 5: your skills. And it's these two buckets are so critical
47:12
Speaker 5: because they can never be unfilled. People can take the
47:14
Speaker 5: other three buckets from you. They can take your resources,
47:16
Speaker 5: your reputation, they can take your network from you, career
47:19
Speaker 5: earthquakes and fill those buckets. But the things that are
47:21
Speaker 5: most critical and that actually cascade to fill the other
47:24
Speaker 5: three buckets are your knowledge and your skills. So you
47:27
Speaker 5: can take my car, you can take whatever. But the
47:29
Speaker 5: most important things, they're sort of precursors to everything I
47:31
Speaker 5: value are like untakeable. And so I say this to
47:35
Speaker 5: young kids who like thinking about how to orientate through
47:38
Speaker 5: their career is like aim at the untakeable buckets, aim
47:40
Speaker 5: at the buckets no one can take from you, which
47:42
Speaker 5: is like what you know and the skills you have
47:44
Speaker 5: and forego a little bit of like cool and maybe
47:48
Speaker 5: a little bit of money sometimes, especially early in your
47:49
Speaker 5: career or even like who you get to hang around
47:52
Speaker 5: with for those two things. So I don't think people can,
47:55
Speaker 5: I don't think you can take the things that matter
47:56
Speaker 5: the most from some, from a person because, because of
48:00
Speaker 5: those buckets, you can kind of get them back, I guess.
48:02
Speaker 2: I agree.
48:03
Speaker 4: But you've gotten to that place so young, right?
48:07
Speaker 13: And a lot of times, like, it takes people some time.
48:10
Speaker 13: And when they get there, that's when they start thinking about, okay,
48:12
Speaker 13: if I start winding down now because I've understood all this,
48:16
Speaker 13: what does my life look like? So you're winding down
48:19
Speaker 13: or stepping back. Do you think about that now a
48:21
Speaker 13: bit more earlier because you're so young and have gotten
48:24
Speaker 13: to the point where you know what really matters in
48:25
Speaker 13: life because you've achieved so many things?
48:28
Speaker 18: Yeah.
48:29
Speaker 5: I don't spend a lot of time thinking about stepping back.
48:31
Speaker 5: I'm very, I'll be honest. I'm very aware that I
48:33
Speaker 5: could become a dad very quickly. And when I look
48:35
Speaker 5: at my calendar, I go, something's got to give. And
48:37
Speaker 5: it's one of those things. I talk to my fiance
48:39
Speaker 5: about this all the time. Like we can panic about
48:41
Speaker 5: that and that will make us procrastinate. Or we can
48:44
Speaker 5: realize that like the first principle question is, do I
48:46
Speaker 5: want to become a dad? Do I want to be
48:47
Speaker 5: a good father? Do I want to be a present one? Absolutely.
48:49
Speaker 5: Does it matter to me?
48:50
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
48:51
Speaker 5: Will I therefore adjust like I have with everything else
48:53
Speaker 5: in my life? Like podcasting, you know, it takes time.
48:56
Speaker 5: My business didn't exist through, three four years ago I
48:59
Speaker 5: adjusted so I want this thing oh I trust our
49:03
Speaker 5: relationship it's strong enough to make the adjustment so that's
49:05
Speaker 5: what I'm thinking about and on your point about um
49:08
Speaker 5: being successful young I think one of the most critical
49:10
Speaker 5: things there is you have to be good at quitting
49:13
Speaker 5: I think the reason why you know I'm just turned
49:16
Speaker 5: 34 the reason why you refer to me as being
49:18
Speaker 5: young and successful is because I've not overstayed my welcome
49:21
Speaker 5: in situations that didn't serve.
49:23
Speaker 13: Me that's what I admire about you and all the
49:25
Speaker 13: success that you've had when I I looked at your
49:27
Speaker 13: age when you were on the list with Charlamagne I
49:28
Speaker 13: was like yo.
49:29
Speaker 12: What so again if I've kind of left clues about
49:32
Speaker 12: this I said I.
49:38
Speaker 2: I got kicked out of school.
49:39
Speaker 5: I stopped going because I'd realized that it wasn't for me.
49:41
Speaker 5: That wasn't going to be the path. Went to university
49:43
Speaker 5: for one day, started a business, did that for two years,
49:45
Speaker 5: quit out of the blue, started another business, got that,
49:46
Speaker 5: got very big, quit out of the blue. And I
49:48
Speaker 5: think often in life we glamorize starting because, you know,
49:51
Speaker 5: if you go into a gym, I was in the
49:53
Speaker 5: gym yesterday and it says, it says on the walls,
49:55
Speaker 5: like never give up. I think this is like fundamentally
49:57
Speaker 5: quite toxic advice. Like logically the thing you have to
50:00
Speaker 5: do before you start. And by the way, starting is
50:02
Speaker 5: the thing that gets all the champagne and the flowers
50:03
Speaker 5: and all that is you have to quit something else.
50:06
Speaker 3: Hmm.
50:06
Speaker 5: Like they're fundamentally interlinked. So getting good at quitting, I
50:09
Speaker 5: think is a skill that the guests I sit with
50:11
Speaker 5: an interview have mastered, which is like, and it all
50:14
Speaker 5: comes down to your relationship with uncertainty. Because when you quit,
50:18
Speaker 5: sometimes you have to do it at like 51% certainty
50:20
Speaker 5: of the decision you're making. This is actually something that Barack,
50:24
Speaker 5: President Obama, I heard him talk about when I spoke
50:26
Speaker 5: on stage in Sao Paulo many years ago, he was
50:29
Speaker 5: talking about the biggest decisions as president of the United States,
50:31
Speaker 5: getting Osama bin Laden in that compound in Pakistan. And
50:34
Speaker 5: he said, as president, I have to get to 51%
50:37
Speaker 5: certainty on these big decisions and then make it with
50:39
Speaker 5: the peace of mind that I did it with all
50:41
Speaker 5: of the best available information. And Jeff Bezos, again, who's
50:44
Speaker 5: someone that built Amazon, who I've studied extensively, talks about
50:48
Speaker 5: how Amazon has to be the best place on earth
50:49
Speaker 5: to fail. And part of that is realizing the difference
50:52
Speaker 5: between a type two and type one decision. Most things
50:54
Speaker 5: in life are type two decisions. They're doors that if
50:58
Speaker 5: you walk through and you're wrong, you can come back through.
51:01
Speaker 5: But we treat decisions in life like type one, irreversible doors.
51:05
Speaker 5: Me leaving university after one lecture, I could have gone back. Frankly,
51:08
Speaker 5: I could have gone back to my startup because I
51:10
Speaker 5: was good. They would have taken me back. And kids
51:12
Speaker 5: come up to me all the time because they're scared
51:14
Speaker 5: about quitting because all of these sort of phrases. And
51:16
Speaker 5: the first thing I'll ask them is like, if you're wrong,
51:18
Speaker 5: can you go back? If it's type two, you make
51:20
Speaker 5: it quick. And that means that you can get through
51:23
Speaker 5: life quicker, I think. So that's a framework that I
51:26
Speaker 5: apply to business, but also my own life.
51:27
Speaker 2: What's your understanding of the relationship between money and happiness?
51:31
Speaker 2: And the reason I ask is you've interviewed billionaires and
51:33
Speaker 2: psychologists and spiritual teachers. You've lost people who've lost everything.
51:37
Speaker 2: So what's your understanding of a relationship between money and happiness?
51:40
Speaker 2: Because you have the money now.
51:43
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of people say money can't buy happiness,
51:45
Speaker 5: but I don't know if they've ever had to like
51:47
Speaker 5: shoplift pizzas and definitely I'm definitely happier now I have
51:54
Speaker 5: less work I don't know what you're supposed to say
51:58
Speaker 5: but um there becomes a point where it takes care
52:01
Speaker 5: of your like base level Maslowian needs of being able
52:03
Speaker 5: to feed yourself and provide for your family and not
52:05
Speaker 5: have to look down and see I remember looking down
52:07
Speaker 5: on my desk every day and I had my CCJ
52:09
Speaker 5: which is a county court judgment it's like the closest
52:11
Speaker 5: thing I've ever got to a qualification CCJ and um
52:14
Speaker 5: I had two CCJs and there's bailiff letters. And that
52:18
Speaker 5: was a angst in the back of my head that
52:20
Speaker 5: meant that I had to play short. And actually much
52:22
Speaker 5: of the success in life, I think, especially in the
52:24
Speaker 5: context of business is having the freedom to play long,
52:28
Speaker 5: to take bigger risks, to think more long-term. And now
52:32
Speaker 5: in this season of my life, because I don't worry
52:34
Speaker 5: about the money part, I'm able to play long, which
52:36
Speaker 5: paradoxically means you can do things which end up making
52:40
Speaker 5: you more successful or wealth. So I'd implore everybody to,
52:44
Speaker 5: you know, to really, to get out of the, to
52:48
Speaker 5: do everything that can to first get out of the
52:51
Speaker 5: pressure and the weight of financial pressures. And this goes
52:56
Speaker 5: back to what we were saying earlier about like, be
52:58
Speaker 5: careful not to quit the call center job before you
53:01
Speaker 5: figure out your life raft. Sometimes we think of them
53:05
Speaker 5: as binaries, like, no, go for it, go for it.
53:07
Speaker 5: And I hear this advice to start the business and
53:08
Speaker 5: I go, listen, well, you do want to make sure
53:11
Speaker 5: your foundation's good, especially if you've got a family and
53:13
Speaker 5: kids to feed. So, um, but you know, I'm definitely
53:18
Speaker 5: happier now.
53:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
53:20
Speaker 2: In that regard.
53:20
Speaker 4: You do look like Will Smith, y'all.
53:23
Speaker 5: This is why, this is why I chose Will Smith.
53:24
Speaker 2: It was the least effort.
53:26
Speaker 13: You do.
53:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
53:27
Speaker 5: I put on some like dungarees or something. I can't remember,
53:29
Speaker 5: but from Fresh Prince and yeah.
53:32
Speaker 2: I see it. This is my last question. It made
53:34
Speaker 2: me think about something when you started talking about human flaws, right?
53:36
Speaker 2: It made me think, what's the question that, you've been
53:39
Speaker 2: avoiding asking yourself because you're afraid of the answer.
53:43
Speaker 5: It's that question.
53:44
Speaker 3: Really?
53:45
Speaker 5: It's literally that question. And I think it's such an
53:47
Speaker 5: important question because it highlights maybe the most important area
53:51
Speaker 5: of your, like all of the most important areas of
53:54
Speaker 5: our life or progress sits behind like the most difficult question.
53:57
Speaker 5: The question that makes you feel uncomfortable. Why does it
53:59
Speaker 5: make you feel uncomfortable? Oh, for good reason. There's some
54:03
Speaker 5: kind of dissonance there or something you're not admitting to yourself.
54:06
Speaker 5: For me, it would be It would be the, the,
54:09
Speaker 5: like the fundamental contradiction that I am. Like we talked
54:12
Speaker 5: about it earlier, but like I, I, again, I really,
54:15
Speaker 5: really know how important when I think about my deathbed
54:18
Speaker 5: and when I look at the studies on people on
54:19
Speaker 5: their deathbeds that were done by Australian palliative nurse, Bronnie Ware, um,
54:23
Speaker 5: the single biggest regret are things around like relationships and
54:26
Speaker 5: not living a life true to themselves. And what I,
54:29
Speaker 5: someone said to me the other day, like, imagine you're
54:31
Speaker 5: on your deathbed now, what will matter in that moment?
54:33
Speaker 5: And I closed my eyes. They said, it's my podcast.
54:36
Speaker 5: And the only thing that seemed to matter was who
54:38
Speaker 5: was stood around my bed. My, my fiance, Melanie, who
54:42
Speaker 5: will be my wife and my kids and what they
54:45
Speaker 5: thought of their father. That's the only thing I cared about.
54:48
Speaker 5: I wasn't thinking about podcast or I wasn't thinking about
54:50
Speaker 5: car drive or the jewelry or anything. And so I thought, well,
54:52
Speaker 5: if that's going to, if I know that's going to
54:54
Speaker 5: be true, then why have I seen Melanie for like,
54:56
Speaker 5: I don't know, six, seven days this month.
54:59
Speaker 2: Why haven't you done anything about that?
55:01
Speaker 5: This is, this is the, this is the conundrum.
55:03
Speaker 2: And I don't, I don't know.
55:05
Speaker 5: I don't know. And this is, do you know what
55:07
Speaker 5: I think it is? I think the uncomfortable truth about
55:10
Speaker 5: relationships is at some level we do take them a
55:13
Speaker 5: little bit for granted, I think, and they're not urgent.
55:16
Speaker 5: Business is always screaming at me. It's always here, you know?
55:21
Speaker 5: So you have, like my businesses, my emails, my notifications,
55:24
Speaker 5: this has happened, Stephen, Stephen, Stephen. Like I said, my
55:26
Speaker 5: colleagues said, if you walk through the building, three people
55:28
Speaker 5: come up to me and your relationship is always less urgent.
55:32
Speaker 5: So it's quite a challenge to try and like, Make
55:34
Speaker 5: it as urgent, as important as it relates to your calendar.
55:38
Speaker 5: I'm doing my best to improve.
55:40
Speaker 3: I see.
55:41
Speaker 5: I think awareness is step one in figuring it out.
55:44
Speaker 13: Me shifting, that changed how mentally I was able to, like,
55:47
Speaker 13: take time to deal with, like, am I okay? Because
55:50
Speaker 13: my nervous system was always, like, my family stuff was
55:52
Speaker 13: so urgent, urgent, urgent, and I didn't think it should be.
55:55
Speaker 13: When I shifted and was like, no, it should be,
55:56
Speaker 13: I started being able to, like, breathe and take time
55:59
Speaker 13: to figure out, like, what do I really need to
56:01
Speaker 13: deal with so I can deal with the urgencies in
56:03
Speaker 13: business interesting yeah which is completely how did you do
56:06
Speaker 13: that I didn't have a choice life made that decision
56:08
Speaker 13: for me but once I was in it and I
56:10
Speaker 13: got through it I was like I felt so like
56:13
Speaker 13: free and I could breathe I was like this is
56:15
Speaker 13: I want to create like this like I don't want
56:16
Speaker 13: to be at work all tense and crazy and like
56:18
Speaker 13: yeah so I just stayed in that space and I
56:21
Speaker 13: like I make it a priority like anybody who knows
56:23
Speaker 13: me knows like family is a priority first for me
56:27
Speaker 13: period I.
56:27
Speaker 4: Just did it I didn't have a choice.
56:32
Speaker 2: You could do it.
56:32
Speaker 4: You just schedule it like everything else.
56:36
Speaker 12: You're starting right now, like you said, in the last
56:39
Speaker 12: 10 days you've been through all this, but you took
56:42
Speaker 12: two of those 10 days to make it to Melanies.
56:45
Speaker 4: And I'm sure she appreciates that. What you're doing now, you're.
56:48
Speaker 12: Building to a point where you don't have to be
56:51
Speaker 12: the one on all these planes and all these meetings.
56:54
Speaker 4: But you don't want to give up.
56:56
Speaker 13: It feels crazy to give your baby over to somebody
56:59
Speaker 13: as intimately, probably, like your business as your baby, as
57:01
Speaker 13: intimately as you do.
57:02
Speaker 4: You pick all your own guests. You want to talk
57:03
Speaker 4: to people you want to talk to. I get that.
57:05
Speaker 5: I was just thinking about it, and I haven't told
57:07
Speaker 5: anybody this, but a lot of the reason why I
57:08
Speaker 5: was flying around the world is I had these different
57:10
Speaker 5: speaking appointments as well. And so what I did, I
57:12
Speaker 5: realized on the road, I was like, do you know
57:14
Speaker 5: what I need to do? I need to double my
57:16
Speaker 5: speaking fee. And so the problem with this, and I
57:20
Speaker 5: need to make sure that my team don't tell me
57:22
Speaker 5: about the offers that I get. Because when you come
57:23
Speaker 5: from 15 years ago, I'm going into restaurants, I'm putting
57:26
Speaker 5: my hand down the back of the chair to see
57:27
Speaker 5: if anyone's left change. So that I could eat that day.
57:30
Speaker 5: So when you get these big numbers come in for offers,
57:33
Speaker 5: you feel guilty if you don't just go do everything.
57:35
Speaker 4: Because there's a.
57:36
Speaker 5: Part of you that's like, it wasn't that long ago
57:39
Speaker 5: when this didn't exist. So I said to my team
57:41
Speaker 5: on the road on this trip, whatever my speaking fee
57:43
Speaker 5: is now, Just double it. And then I told Melanie.
57:46
Speaker 3: I was like.
57:47
Speaker 5: And she was actually really happy because it means that
57:49
Speaker 5: I'm going to be able to.
57:52
Speaker 4: That's not going to change anything.
57:53
Speaker 2: No, because they're going to.
57:54
Speaker 4: Pay that shit. Because he was expensive.
57:56
Speaker 2: He still drove.
57:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
57:59
Speaker 2: I'll tell you off air, but I get some numbers
58:01
Speaker 2: that I never thought I would walk away from. but
58:03
Speaker 2: it's because my time means more. Being with my family
58:07
Speaker 2: means more. I'm talking about like, I could easily go
58:09
Speaker 2: here on a random Thursday, fly in, get this money
58:13
Speaker 2: and fly back. But I'd rather pick my daughter up
58:15
Speaker 2: from cheerleading practice. You know what I mean? Like, I'd
58:18
Speaker 2: rather wake up in my own bed on Friday morning and,
58:20
Speaker 2: you know, not have to rush back and land at
58:23
Speaker 2: midnight or one o'clock and rush to the radio station. Like,
58:26
Speaker 2: your time will absolutely mean more than that money. No
58:30
Speaker 2: matter what the fee is, I promise you.
58:32
Speaker 14: Hmm.
58:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking forward to becoming a dad.
58:35
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
58:35
Speaker 12: When you become a dad, man, you ain't, all these
58:37
Speaker 12: questions that you ask, all of that shit will go
58:39
Speaker 12: out the window. It's just going to be your, it's
58:42
Speaker 12: going to come automatically to you. That's your baby that
58:45
Speaker 12: you're talking about. You know, you ain't even going to
58:48
Speaker 12: have to ask no questions, no nothing is going to
58:50
Speaker 12: come to you.
58:51
Speaker 4: Like, nah, everything is on your baby, on your family.
58:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
58:54
Speaker 2: Trust me.
58:54
Speaker 4: It'll be beautiful to see.
58:56
Speaker 2: Listen, Steven, my final quote, never get so busy making
58:59
Speaker 2: a living that you forget to make a life.
59:01
Speaker 3: Amen.
59:01
Speaker 2: You know who said that? Dolly Parton.
59:03
Speaker 3: Really?
59:03
Speaker 2: Okay. You can work nine to five all you want.
59:07
Speaker 1: That's the lyrics, yes.
59:10
Speaker 2: Make sure you listen to the Diary of a CEO podcast,
59:13
Speaker 2: the number two most listened to podcast in the world.
59:15
Speaker 2: So who doesn't listen to it? Okay. It's Stephen Bartlett.
59:18
Speaker 2: It's The Breakfast Club.
59:19
Speaker 1: Now let's get right to the latest with Lauren.
59:21
Speaker 4: Lauren becoming a straight face.
59:23
Speaker 3: Taylor! Taylor!
59:25
Speaker 1: So 50 cent uh he sat down uh with the
59:26
Speaker 1: gang over on the crew has it you guys know
59:28
Speaker 1: that it's.
59:28
Speaker 13: Gianni paolo and michael rainey it's a podcast that they
59:31
Speaker 13: have um Andrew Schultz was there as well, too. And
59:57
Speaker 13: they're having a conversation about a ton of different things.
59:59
Speaker 13: You know, he's out and about promoting Street Fighter.
1:00:01
Speaker 2: Yes, Street Fighter. I might go to that premiere tonight, actually.
1:00:04
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:00:04
Speaker 2: Oh, is it? I forgot.
1:00:06
Speaker 4: All right, I need to go.
1:00:07
Speaker 2: 5050's actually hosting it, actually.
1:00:10
Speaker 20: Oh, okay.
1:00:10
Speaker 2: And Schultz. We're from together. What now, Schultz?
1:00:14
Speaker 3: Oh.
1:00:14
Speaker 2: Shooting Miami Vice. Oh. Yeah, yeah.
1:00:16
Speaker 4: That's right.
1:00:17
Speaker 2: Schultz booked him busy.
1:00:18
Speaker 13: Oh, well, Schultz was on this podcast with him. They're
1:00:21
Speaker 13: running around together a bit. But they get into a
1:00:23
Speaker 13: couple different things. So they talk about one of the
1:00:25
Speaker 13: things I thought was interesting. 50 Cent says that he
1:00:28
Speaker 13: had a conversation with Drake after the Kendrick Lamar battle.
1:00:32
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to that conversation.
1:00:34
Speaker 2: I was in Canada. I was talking.
1:00:36
Speaker 10: And I said, let me ask you a question.
1:00:38
Speaker 2: What did you lose?
1:00:39
Speaker 10: And he's just like, I said, no, no. I want
1:00:42
Speaker 10: you to think about it and tell me what exactly
1:00:43
Speaker 10: did you lose? And he said, nothing. I said, okay,
1:00:47
Speaker 10: so don't get emotional about the state of what people
1:00:51
Speaker 10: are saying.
1:00:52
Speaker 2: That is going to pass, bro. You see what happened?
1:00:55
Speaker 10: He put three albums out at once and he's performing
1:00:57
Speaker 10: because you can't just replace him at the present moment.
1:01:00
Speaker 2: He's a hybrid.
1:01:01
Speaker 10: He's going to give you good R & B music
1:01:03
Speaker 10: and then some shit that we actually like on some
1:01:07
Speaker 10: rap shit that's there at the same time.
1:01:10
Speaker 2: Well, what he actually lost is a rap battle. And
1:01:13
Speaker 2: that's okay.
1:01:13
Speaker 20: That's all. That's okay.
1:01:15
Speaker 2: You lost a rap battle. You got your ass kicked
1:01:16
Speaker 2: in a rap battle. He did lose that.
1:01:18
Speaker 13: Yeah, but they were having a conversation, like, you know, Schultz,
1:01:22
Speaker 13: they brought in the conversation about how There's like one
1:01:24
Speaker 13: side of the entertainment industry that is like narrative and
1:01:27
Speaker 13: headline driven of like, oh, my God, your life is
1:01:29
Speaker 13: over because this is what the journalistic approach is saying.
1:01:32
Speaker 13: But in the real world, in business world, there are
1:01:34
Speaker 13: people who still know that Drake sells and does business.
1:01:36
Speaker 13: So they're not backing away from him because of a
1:01:39
Speaker 13: loss of a rap battle.
1:01:40
Speaker 4: So don't take it to heart as if. Everything is over, basically.
1:01:43
Speaker 4: That's the conversation he was having with Drew.
1:01:45
Speaker 2: It's clearly not. Everything is not over.
1:01:47
Speaker 1: No way, man. He's still selling out arenas and tours.
1:01:50
Speaker 2: He hasn't been on tour yet, but we're about to see.
1:01:53
Speaker 13: But 50 was saying that he had to tell him
1:01:56
Speaker 13: that in person.
1:01:56
Speaker 4: Like, don't stay off the internet. Like, don't worry about that.
1:01:59
Speaker 2: He can't stay off the internet. He lives for the internet.
1:02:01
Speaker 2: He manipulates the internet. We know this.
1:02:03
Speaker 4: And obviously his ego was bruised. You know what I mean?
1:02:07
Speaker 2: I'm sure he was hurt. Yeah, I'm sure he was hurt.
1:02:09
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really the advice. The advice is, look,
1:02:11
Speaker 2: you lost the rap battle. It's not the end of
1:02:13
Speaker 2: the world.
1:02:15
Speaker 13: That's what he was saying. That's what they were getting to. Now,
1:02:17
Speaker 13: the Da Vinci situation also came up. You guys know
1:02:19
Speaker 13: Da Vinci is a part of the Power Universe. In
1:02:22
Speaker 13: 50 Cent, they were having a conversation about.
1:02:24
Speaker 5: No, he is not.
1:02:24
Speaker 4: He is a part of the BMF universe. It's all
1:02:26
Speaker 4: the same universe. It's like power, BMF.
1:02:29
Speaker 12: BMF is not in the power.
1:02:33
Speaker 4: He's one of 50 Cent's Avengers.
1:02:36
Speaker 2: There you go. I like that.
1:02:38
Speaker 13: Because they always say that all of his shows is
1:02:40
Speaker 13: him assembling his own Avengers.
1:02:42
Speaker 6: I thought they didn't get along.
1:02:44
Speaker 2: I thought Michi Dem didn't get along with the power people.
1:02:47
Speaker 4: They don't forsake for promo. Let's get into the clip.
1:02:50
Speaker 4: So he brings in Da.
1:02:51
Speaker 13: Vinci and they're talking about people being canceled and how
1:02:56
Speaker 13: 50 Cent doesn't back away from people like Da Baby
1:02:59
Speaker 13: and how the world can take things out of context.
1:03:01
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to this clip.
1:03:03
Speaker 10: Sometimes they take things out of context and they want
1:03:06
Speaker 10: to make it something that it's not. That's the internet.
1:03:09
Speaker 10: Even Da Vinci recently. They took what he said and
1:03:14
Speaker 10: built what they wanted.
1:03:17
Speaker 2: Out of it.
1:03:17
Speaker 10: And then Because I went back, I listened to exactly
1:03:20
Speaker 10: what he's saying. And I'm going, so you want to
1:03:24
Speaker 10: ban him for that?
1:03:25
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:03:25
Speaker 10: Okay, just look at what he said and weigh it
1:03:26
Speaker 10: up against slavery must have been an option or a choice.
1:03:31
Speaker 2: Who said that again?
1:03:32
Speaker 3: Kanye.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: They're not treating Kanye like that. Kanye can say whatever
1:03:36
Speaker 2: he wants. All you need is a nice set.
1:03:38
Speaker 1: Kanye went on Black TV.
1:03:40
Speaker 2: I'll come back on the top of the earth. If
1:03:43
Speaker 2: I f * * * up, I'm coming back on
1:03:44
Speaker 2: the moon.
1:03:44
Speaker 4: Forgiving.
1:03:46
Speaker 3: Forgiving.
1:03:48
Speaker 2: Now there's some false equivalencies here.
1:03:50
Speaker 5: Okay.
1:03:50
Speaker 2: First of all, DaVinci ain't never made late registration. Okay.
1:03:54
Speaker 2: DaVinci ain't never made college dropout.
1:03:56
Speaker 5: Okay.
1:03:56
Speaker 2: DaVinci has never made my beautiful dog twisted fantasy. Music
1:03:59
Speaker 2: is a powerful, powerful, powerful drug. Okay. And that's all
1:04:02
Speaker 2: I got.
1:04:04
Speaker 13: I mean, he said he needs a nice set. So,
1:04:06
Speaker 13: I mean, yeah, there you have it. And they also
1:04:08
Speaker 13: got into Cardi B. Speaking of music, he was talking
1:04:10
Speaker 13: about like things being simple and how that creates stardom.
1:04:13
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
1:04:14
Speaker 10: I think simplicity is a big part of hit. Cardi
1:04:17
Speaker 10: is a hit. Cardi B, who she is, is a hit.
1:04:21
Speaker 10: This is hood. Their mentality is entertaining to watch without
1:04:26
Speaker 10: the hit record. They were already going viral just being
1:04:29
Speaker 10: who they are. Look, Cardi's from the graveyard. She came
1:04:32
Speaker 10: out the graveyard, bro. Loving hip-hop, everybody who was there
1:04:35
Speaker 10: was dying. That was the dead hip-hop section. The people
1:04:38
Speaker 10: who couldn't expect to have hit records and do things
1:04:41
Speaker 10: They went to go do Love & Hip Hop and
1:04:43
Speaker 10: be seen at the same time.
1:04:45
Speaker 2: She came out of that.
1:04:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:04:46
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I'm like, what? I agree
1:04:50
Speaker 2: with all that.
1:04:51
Speaker 5: Jesus.
1:04:52
Speaker 3: 100%. 10-10.
1:04:52
Speaker 2: No notes.
1:04:53
Speaker 7: I agree with all that.
1:04:54
Speaker 2: I have no pushback on that one whatsoever.
1:04:56
Speaker 1: People are dying.
1:04:58
Speaker 4: We're dead.
1:04:58
Speaker 2: I agree with all of that.
1:05:00
Speaker 3: Wow.
1:05:01
Speaker 4: What you mean?
1:05:02
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:05:02
Speaker 2: I mean.
1:05:03
Speaker 1: But that's what they said love and hip-hop was. People
1:05:05
Speaker 1: who weren't... Didn't have any motion.
1:05:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:05:07
Speaker 1: They did a show to kind of get motion.
1:05:09
Speaker 2: Unsung type.
1:05:09
Speaker 3: Correct.
1:05:10
Speaker 19: Wow.
1:05:11
Speaker 4: All righty.
1:05:12
Speaker 2: And about the Da Vinci thing, he's right. I mean,
1:05:13
Speaker 2: people don't deserve to get canceled for what Da Vinci said,
1:05:16
Speaker 2: but that don't... they still gotta deal with the backlash
1:05:19
Speaker 2: of what they said very much so yeah that's all.
1:05:21
Speaker 13: Very much so I was thinking when he was well
1:05:23
Speaker 13: 50 Cent also said like you know how he did
1:05:25
Speaker 13: I Love You Like a Fat Kid Love Kate that
1:05:27
Speaker 13: was such a simple line but it registers to so
1:05:29
Speaker 13: many people that's why that line itself stands out to
1:05:32
Speaker 13: so many people when they listen to the song or
1:05:33
Speaker 13: whatever And I was thinking about that. Y'all saw the
1:05:35
Speaker 13: video go viral of Cardi cleaning up at her grandparents'
1:05:38
Speaker 13: house in DR.
1:05:40
Speaker 4: And it was so viral. People were like, oh, my God.
1:05:42
Speaker 13: I'm like, she's cleaning. That's what you're supposed to do
1:05:45
Speaker 13: for your grandparents and the people in your family. But
1:05:47
Speaker 13: I think it's just the simplicity of seeing her be
1:05:50
Speaker 13: like this human person who's just like they're. cleaning up
1:05:52
Speaker 13: for everybody can relate to taking care of your grandparents.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: I was going to say, a club is always like that.
1:05:56
Speaker 1: I've never not seen Cardi. But even for the car show,
1:05:59
Speaker 1: like the biggest car that people really love to see
1:06:02
Speaker 1: was when Cardi B gave me one of her vehicles, right?
1:06:04
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because her vehicle was tinted and had
1:06:07
Speaker 1: rims and this, that, and the other. is when they
1:06:08
Speaker 1: open up the back, they're seeing the car seat and
1:06:10
Speaker 1: the stroller. Just showing that she's a normal mom. People
1:06:14
Speaker 1: were excited to see the car seat and the stroller because,
1:06:17
Speaker 1: you know, it's simple.
1:06:18
Speaker 2: Anybody who feels like Cardi B is not normal has
1:06:22
Speaker 2: not been watching Cardi B from the beginning.
1:06:24
Speaker 4: You know how they say money.
1:06:27
Speaker 2: They say money doesn't change you. Money just multiplies whoever
1:06:30
Speaker 2: you already are. So she was already that. This is
1:06:33
Speaker 2: just her time to hunt down.
1:06:34
Speaker 4: I think people just like to see it, though.
1:06:36
Speaker 2: I think what she's saying.
1:06:37
Speaker 4: Nobody ever seen her with a broom in her hand
1:06:39
Speaker 4: cleaning up.
1:06:40
Speaker 2: Well, y'all don't pay attention to Dominicans, though. Y'all ain't
1:06:42
Speaker 2: been watching.
1:06:43
Speaker 1: I've been watching her all these years. Cardi has done
1:06:45
Speaker 1: that before.
1:06:46
Speaker 4: It's a good thing to see, I think, and people
1:06:48
Speaker 4: just felt good seeing it.
1:06:49
Speaker 2: Walking around shopping with her kids.
1:06:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, that's... Going to Target, wearing a mask, going
1:06:53
Speaker 1: to Target, trying to wear a cover.
1:06:54
Speaker 4: My point is.
1:06:55
Speaker 2: We're not Target. Okay. I don't think she was in Target.
1:06:57
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:06:57
Speaker 2: I don't think that was Target.
1:06:59
Speaker 5: Either way, everybody.
1:07:00
Speaker 4: Ain't seen her as how special.
1:07:01
Speaker 2: That she was.
1:07:02
Speaker 4: At her grandparents' house, and they saw that.
1:07:05
Speaker 1: Don't worry, Cardi, we got you.
1:07:08
Speaker 4: Go always run.
1:07:09
Speaker 2: Defense for Cardi. We're always going to run defense for
1:07:12
Speaker 2: Big Body, okay? She was at Walmart. We're not supposed
1:07:14
Speaker 2: to be there either. We're not supposed to be there either.
1:07:17
Speaker 2: We can't be nowhere.

Speaker 1: We're sitting in a bodega. We're sitting in a bodega.

Speaker 19: You better be a fake ass Charlemagne.
1:08:32
Speaker 2: You're the only one Charlemagne to go.
1:08:33
Speaker 7: Charlemagne.
1:08:36
Speaker 2: Well, sexy red donkey of the day for Wednesday, October
1:08:41
Speaker 2: 14th goes to 42 year old Aaron Menefee from Albany, Georgia.
1:08:45
Speaker 2: Aaron is reportedly a high school teacher and a church deacon. Now,
1:08:49
Speaker 2: Jessica Robin Moore, your mother is a church deacon, right?
1:08:52
Speaker 4: Yes, she is.
1:08:52
Speaker 2: Why are you looking at me like that?
1:08:54
Speaker 4: Because every time you call on me, I'm scared.
1:08:57
Speaker 2: No, she's a deaconess. And you called her to ask
1:09:00
Speaker 2: her what are some of her biggest duties because I
1:09:02
Speaker 2: asked you to ask her. What did she say?
1:09:04
Speaker 12: She keeps the church in order, serve alongside the bishop
1:09:08
Speaker 12: and deacons.
1:09:09
Speaker 1: They preach.
1:09:10
Speaker 4: She preaches. All deacons are not required to preach, but
1:09:12
Speaker 4: some of them are.
1:09:13
Speaker 2: And he said there was something that you have to have.
1:09:16
Speaker 2: What was it?
1:09:17
Speaker 1: Patience.
1:09:17
Speaker 2: Patience.
1:09:18
Speaker 4: You need the most patience in the house.
1:09:20
Speaker 3: Patience. Yes.
1:09:21
Speaker 2: Okay, drop one of Clues bombs for Deacon Moore.
1:09:24
Speaker 4: Deaconess Moore.
1:09:25
Speaker 2: Deaconess Moore.
1:09:26
Speaker 3: No, my God.
1:09:26
Speaker 4: Deacon Neal. She got married.
1:09:27
Speaker 2: Deaconess what?
1:09:28
Speaker 4: She got married again. Deaconess Neal.
1:09:30
Speaker 2: All I heard was Deaconess Neal. I'm like, that's ridiculous.
1:09:33
Speaker 2: Come on now.
1:09:34
Speaker 4: No, Deaconess Neal.
1:09:35
Speaker 2: Deaconess Neal. Okay, Deaconess Neal says you have to have patience. Okay,
1:09:39
Speaker 2: my mother's a teacher. And when you're a teacher and
1:09:41
Speaker 2: a church deacon, patience has to be on your resume.
1:09:45
Speaker 21: Why?
1:09:46
Speaker 2: Because you deal with children Monday through Friday and you
1:09:49
Speaker 2: got to deal with God's children on Sunday. And I'm
1:09:51
Speaker 2: going to tell you something about Genesis chapter one, verse 26.
1:09:54
Speaker 2: It says God made man in his image according to
1:09:58
Speaker 2: his likeness. So you know what that means? Y'all be
1:10:01
Speaker 2: getting on God's nerves, okay? Because your damn show be
1:10:03
Speaker 2: getting on mine. And I know if you a deacon
1:10:06
Speaker 2: and a teacher who have to do this thing called
1:10:08
Speaker 2: peopling all day, every day, 24-7, 365, then folks be
1:10:12
Speaker 2: getting on your damn nerves. But you must have patience. Well,
1:10:16
Speaker 2: Brother Aaron Menefee allegedly ran out of that virtue called patience,
1:10:21
Speaker 2: and he decided that them churn was getting on his
1:10:23
Speaker 2: nerves because they was cursing, fighting, and cutting up. So
1:10:27
Speaker 2: he decided to kick four children Ages 9, 10, 11,
1:10:31
Speaker 2: and 12. Off the church bus and left them on
1:10:34
Speaker 2: the side of the road about three miles from their house. Okay,
1:10:36
Speaker 2: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go
1:10:37
Speaker 2: to WAFB 9 News for the report, please.
1:10:40
Speaker 18: According to police, an Albany church deacon is facing charges
1:10:44
Speaker 18: for allegedly kicking a group of young kids off a
1:10:47
Speaker 18: church bus and leaving them on the side of the road.
1:10:50
Speaker 18: An Albany police incident report says officers responded Sunday to
1:10:54
Speaker 18: Oak Ridge Baptist Church after a woman reported her three
1:10:57
Speaker 18: children and their 10-year-old friend had been put off a
1:11:00
Speaker 18: church bus. Police say that Deacon Aaron Minifee told officers
1:11:05
Speaker 18: the children were disruptive and that he put them off
1:11:08
Speaker 18: the bus for his safety. He said he called their
1:11:11
Speaker 18: grandmother and acknowledged he should have waited for someone to
1:11:14
Speaker 18: come and pick them up. Now, as of now, officers
1:11:17
Speaker 18: have arrested Minifee He is charged with four counts of
1:11:20
Speaker 18: reckless conduct.
1:11:21
Speaker 2: Aaron said, F them kids. Okay, he said, I'm going
1:11:24
Speaker 2: to let go and let God. Okay, y'all want to
1:11:26
Speaker 2: do all that cursing and fighting? Get off my bus.
1:11:30
Speaker 2: What was the name of the clip's last album? Let
1:11:32
Speaker 2: God sort them out. Okay, we just left church, you
1:11:35
Speaker 2: little heathens. The Holy Spirit hasn't even made it to
1:11:37
Speaker 2: the parking lot, and y'all already on demon time. Listen,
1:11:41
Speaker 2: I threaten my 11-year-old all the time and tell her
1:11:43
Speaker 2: I'm going to just leave her place or something. but
1:11:45
Speaker 2: I don't. Okay. And I can't because that's my child
1:11:48
Speaker 2: and I love her. Okay. I was born in 1978.
1:11:51
Speaker 2: I know better. All right. And brother Manifi, you're 42
1:11:54
Speaker 2: years old. You should know better too.
1:11:56
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:11:56
Speaker 2: How are you going to teach children a lesson about
1:11:59
Speaker 2: their behavior by behaving worse than the child?
1:12:03
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:12:03
Speaker 2: They're nine, 10, 11, and 12. What's your excuses? A
1:12:07
Speaker 2: 42 year old grown man.
1:12:08
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:12:08
Speaker 2: As the black IPs once said, Where is the love? OK,
1:12:12
Speaker 2: Corinthians 13, verse four through seven says love is patient
1:12:17
Speaker 2: and kind. OK, love is patient and kind. You're a
1:12:22
Speaker 2: church deacon, Aaron. You're supposed to live this. OK, what
1:12:26
Speaker 2: happened to patience? What happened to love? What happened to grace?
1:12:29
Speaker 2: What happened to compassion? I know the Bible says suffer love.
1:12:33
Speaker 2: little children to come unto me my interpretation of that
1:12:37
Speaker 2: is to allow or permit the little children to come
1:12:40
Speaker 2: to jesus and do not stop them but dropping them
1:12:42
Speaker 2: off on the side of the road could get them
1:12:44
Speaker 2: to jesus ahead of schedule okay there is no okay
1:12:49
Speaker 2: part in that good word that says jesus loves the
1:12:52
Speaker 2: little children all the children of the world unless they're
1:12:56
Speaker 2: cursing on the church bus okay Then apparently they got
1:12:59
Speaker 2: to get on a good foot and walk. Now, I'm
1:13:00
Speaker 2: not saying being a Christian means you have to tolerate disrespect. OK,
1:13:04
Speaker 2: those children needed to be disciplined.
1:13:05
Speaker 3: All right.
1:13:06
Speaker 2: But your discipline shouldn't be more dangerous than the behavior
1:13:09
Speaker 2: you're trying to correct. Those kids could have woke up
1:13:11
Speaker 2: dead somewhere, Deacon. And that's why I stress adults dealing
1:13:15
Speaker 2: with their mental and emotional health issues because sometimes adults
1:13:18
Speaker 2: call something discipline when it's really just anger with authority
1:13:23
Speaker 2: behind it. You're projecting. And when you're in a position
1:13:26
Speaker 2: of authority, like a deacon or teacher, you end up projecting.
1:13:30
Speaker 2: And you weren't teaching those children anything by leaving them
1:13:33
Speaker 2: on the side of the road. You were just projecting
1:13:36
Speaker 2: your frustration onto them. And I bet they weren't even
1:13:40
Speaker 2: the real issue, okay? You was fed up about something
1:13:42
Speaker 2: else and took it out on them. And I'm going
1:13:44
Speaker 2: to tell you something else, Deacon. You need to ask it. OK,
1:13:48
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, respectfully.
1:13:49
Speaker 3: All right.
1:13:49
Speaker 2: Because imagine being a parent going to look for your
1:13:52
Speaker 2: child and you couldn't find him. You just heard the
1:13:54
Speaker 2: news report. That's what happened. The mother went looking for
1:13:57
Speaker 2: her three kids and her friend and couldn't find them.
1:13:59
Speaker 2: Imagine that. OK, you trust somebody from your church, the
1:14:03
Speaker 2: deacon to transport your children. And now you're riding around
1:14:06
Speaker 2: looking for them because the church deacon decided he'd had
1:14:09
Speaker 2: enough and a stranger. A stranger had to bring them home.
1:14:14
Speaker 6: A stranger?
1:14:15
Speaker 1: Thank God that.
1:14:16
Speaker 2: Stranger had good intentions. But what if they didn't? What
1:14:19
Speaker 2: if they didn't? That's why in the LeBron James version
1:14:22
Speaker 2: of the Bible, it says, use the rod to beat
1:14:25
Speaker 2: the adult. Okay? And what really grinds my gears is
1:14:28
Speaker 2: Brother Manifi reportedly told police he was concerned about his
1:14:32
Speaker 2: safety because the children were fighting? A 9, 10, 11,
1:14:36
Speaker 2: and 12-year-old? This deacon's scared. Okay, pull over, call the parents,
1:14:42
Speaker 2: call somebody from the church, have somebody come get them.
1:14:45
Speaker 2: But you can't just put four children out and leave.
1:14:49
Speaker 2: You are a teacher and a deacon. You work with
1:14:52
Speaker 2: young people for a living. Okay, you know children can
1:14:55
Speaker 2: be difficult. This is why when they say God doesn't
1:14:58
Speaker 2: call the qualified, he qualifies the called. Well, damn it,
1:15:01
Speaker 2: some of y'all need more qualifications. Okay, if you can't
1:15:03
Speaker 2: handle children misbehaving, without, you know, putting them in danger,
1:15:07
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be responsible for those children. Okay. See adults,
1:15:11
Speaker 2: we expect children to have more control over their emotions
1:15:14
Speaker 2: than we have over ours.
1:15:16
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:15:16
Speaker 2: We tell kids to calm down while we yell. Okay.
1:15:19
Speaker 2: We tell them to think before they act while we're
1:15:21
Speaker 2: making decisions out of anger. Then we wonder where they
1:15:25
Speaker 2: learned that behavior. Okay. Being older doesn't automatically make you
1:15:29
Speaker 2: more mature. Some people You know, some grown people are
1:15:32
Speaker 2: just grown kids with a hurt inner child that needs
1:15:35
Speaker 2: a hug. Okay? Aaron, you put four children off a
1:15:38
Speaker 2: church bus because they weren't acting their age. But from
1:15:41
Speaker 2: what I can tell from this story, they were the
1:15:44
Speaker 2: only ones on the bus who actually were. Please give
1:15:47
Speaker 2: Aaron Menefee the biggest he hug. So should they strip
1:15:53
Speaker 2: him of his deaconess type? What's the title? Deacon?
1:15:56
Speaker 3: Deacon.
1:15:56
Speaker 2: He's a deacon.
1:15:57
Speaker 4: Women are deaconess.
1:15:58
Speaker 2: Deacons don't get collars, right? Yes, they do.
1:16:01
Speaker 4: They get the college.
1:16:02
Speaker 2: He might need to get a script of his collar.
1:16:03
Speaker 2: Put him in their robes.
1:16:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, leaving them kids on the side of the road
1:16:06
Speaker 4: is crazy. Oh, that's wild.
1:16:09
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that donkey today.
1:16:10
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
1:16:11
Speaker 1: Now, when we come back, we have Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell.
1:16:14
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
1:16:15
Speaker 1: Pastor of the 2819 Church. They wouldn't play with him
1:16:17
Speaker 1: like that.
1:16:19
Speaker 2: They wouldn't play with Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell like that.
1:16:23
Speaker 1: He has a new book called Contend that's out now.
1:16:25
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to him next. All right, it's
1:16:26
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club.
1:16:27
Speaker 3: Good morning.
1:16:27
Speaker 1: Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy,
1:16:31
Speaker 1: we are The Breakfast Club, Long and Rose is here
1:16:33
Speaker 1: as well, we got a special guest in the building,
1:16:36
Speaker 1: we have Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell, welcome brother.
1:16:38
Speaker 2: What's good yo, thank y'all for having me.
1:16:40
Speaker 1: How you feeling man?
1:16:41
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good bro, I'm feeling blessed. Good to see you,
1:16:43
Speaker 2: good to see you. New book called Contend man, why
1:16:45
Speaker 2: that title?
1:16:46
Speaker 19: Contend is just a message for us to stand for
1:16:48
Speaker 19: the principles of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word
1:16:50
Speaker 19: of God for the good of all humanity and that
1:16:53
Speaker 19: is really the foundation of the.
1:16:54
Speaker 2: And I saw you say that you're telling people to
1:16:56
Speaker 2: fight for their faith.
1:16:58
Speaker 19: Yeah, fight for the faith. Yeah, the brother of Jesus,
1:17:02
Speaker 19: Jesus had a younger brother named Jude. And in the
1:17:05
Speaker 19: first century, Jude had a message. He was calling people
1:17:07
Speaker 19: to contend for the faith. That is, the values of
1:17:10
Speaker 19: Christianity was being diminished by false teachers, false gospels, false truths.
1:17:14
Speaker 19: So he stood up and said, man, we need to
1:17:16
Speaker 19: fight for the truth. And all of them was repackaged
1:17:18
Speaker 19: that message in our generation said we need to fight
1:17:20
Speaker 19: for the truth.
1:17:21
Speaker 1: So for people that don't know who you're passing, don't
1:17:23
Speaker 1: know your story, just break down who you are a
1:17:25
Speaker 1: little bit and where you come from.
1:17:26
Speaker 19: Yes, I was I was born right here in the
1:17:28
Speaker 19: city from Queens, New York. I was born an immigrant
1:17:31
Speaker 19: parents from the nation of Trinidad. My parents were believers,
1:17:35
Speaker 19: but I did not believe what they believe. I saw
1:17:37
Speaker 19: them reading the Bible, praying, but that stuff made no
1:17:39
Speaker 19: sense to me. At the age of 12, I went
1:17:42
Speaker 19: out on the street. I was selling crack cocaine at
1:17:43
Speaker 19: the age of 12. I was robbing people at gunpoint
1:17:46
Speaker 19: by the age of 17. I spent my 18th birthday
1:17:48
Speaker 19: at Rockers Island Prison. And I was forced out of
1:17:51
Speaker 19: New York because of legal trouble. Ended up in North Carolina.
1:17:54
Speaker 19: Ran the streets for maybe another 10 years with some dudes.
1:17:57
Speaker 19: At about 24 years of age, man, I had what
1:17:59
Speaker 19: I thought was all the trappings of worldly success. You know,
1:18:01
Speaker 19: I had a luxury car, dope girlfriend, dope apartment, some
1:18:04
Speaker 19: money in the bank. But I had no peace. I
1:18:07
Speaker 19: had no joy. I felt very empty. I was suicidal.
1:18:10
Speaker 19: I survived the suicidal attempt with a shotgun, a bottle
1:18:12
Speaker 19: of Hennessy. And then around that same time when I
1:18:16
Speaker 19: was empty, I met God in a bathroom. I should
1:18:18
Speaker 19: say God met me in a bathroom. He transformed my
1:18:20
Speaker 19: whole life and led me into the ministry.
1:18:23
Speaker 2: That's how I got here. What happened in that moment
1:18:25
Speaker 2: in the bathroom?
1:18:26
Speaker 19: My girlfriend at the time, man, she got into a
1:18:28
Speaker 19: car crash and she came back to our apartment and
1:18:31
Speaker 19: she put on gospel music. It was the first time
1:18:33
Speaker 19: in my life I ever heard gospel music. And she
1:18:35
Speaker 19: was walking back and forth with her hand raised, just
1:18:37
Speaker 19: kind of thanking God that she survived that car crash.
1:18:40
Speaker 2: And I was watching her and this thought came to me.
1:18:42
Speaker 19: It was like, yo, whatever that was, I saw like joy,
1:18:45
Speaker 19: I saw peace. I thought to myself, whatever that was,
1:18:47
Speaker 19: I wanted that for myself. So I kind of crawled.
1:18:50
Speaker 19: into a bathroom. I started yelling at God. I did
1:18:52
Speaker 19: not believe God existed. I thought he was just a
1:18:53
Speaker 19: name on a page. But God revealed himself to me
1:18:56
Speaker 19: in that bathroom. We changed my heart in that bathroom.
1:18:59
Speaker 19: And like six months later, he began to speak to
1:19:01
Speaker 19: me about my future, about what I'm doing right now.
1:19:04
Speaker 1: When did you decide that you wanted to become a
1:19:06
Speaker 1: pastor and to preach?
1:19:08
Speaker 19: Man, I never wanted to be a pastor. I never
1:19:10
Speaker 19: wanted to be in ministry. This was not my dream.
1:19:12
Speaker 19: And so April 14th, 2004, I was reading Proverbs chapter three,
1:19:16
Speaker 19: verse five through six. It's like the GPS for life.
1:19:19
Speaker 19: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean
1:19:21
Speaker 19: not in your own understanding. Acknowledge me, I'll direct your path.
1:19:24
Speaker 19: And as I'm reading that, I felt God speak to
1:19:25
Speaker 19: me on the inside of my heart, a call towards
1:19:28
Speaker 19: pastoral ministry. But I ran from that for four years.
1:19:30
Speaker 19: And so after four years of running, I finally surrendered.
1:19:33
Speaker 19: And God's been leading me ever since.
1:19:35
Speaker 22: Your church grew from very few viewership to thousands and
1:19:40
Speaker 22: thousands and thousands. So talk about that and building out
1:19:44
Speaker 22: a church and what that came. Because most people, you know,
1:19:46
Speaker 22: it's that call and they run from it for so long.
1:19:48
Speaker 22: But you really dove into it.
1:19:50
Speaker 19: Yeah, I passed a small church called Victory for about
1:19:53
Speaker 19: 10 years. And I think during that season, I had
1:19:56
Speaker 19: a lot of vanity in my heart that I didn't
1:19:57
Speaker 19: realize existed. I wanted to be rich. I wanted to
1:19:59
Speaker 19: be famous. I wanted to be known. I wanted platforms.
1:20:02
Speaker 19: I wanted all those things.
1:20:02
Speaker 2: Still as a pastor?
1:20:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:20:04
Speaker 19: Those things was buried in my heart. I tried to
1:20:05
Speaker 19: cover them, but they were there. God never answered none
1:20:08
Speaker 19: of those prayers. My motives wasn't completely pure. After 10 years,
1:20:11
Speaker 19: I lost that ministry during COVID. And right after COVID,
1:20:14
Speaker 19: God put it in my heart to start a brand
1:20:16
Speaker 19: new ministry called 2019. We started that ministry in January
1:20:20
Speaker 19: of 23 with 183 disciples. It's grown in three years
1:20:23
Speaker 19: to over 6,000 disciples locally. Hundreds of thousands on YouTube.
1:20:26
Speaker 19: few million around the world. We call them digital disciples.
1:20:29
Speaker 19: All of that is God's doing. I'm just trying to
1:20:31
Speaker 19: do my best to steward what I believe is a
1:20:33
Speaker 19: revival in our generation.
1:20:35
Speaker 2: You speak to vanity, man. I don't think people realize
1:20:38
Speaker 2: how much of a sin vanity is. I feel like
1:20:40
Speaker 2: in the social media era, vanity is amplified because of that.
1:20:45
Speaker 2: Can you speak to that?
1:20:46
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think vanity is just a fallen human desire
1:20:50
Speaker 19: for us to have glory for ourselves and to run
1:20:53
Speaker 19: after things that's ultimately not going to satisfy, right? So
1:20:56
Speaker 19: And I've traveled around the world. I've sat with millionaires
1:20:59
Speaker 19: and billionaires. I've sat with NBA players, NFL players, MLB players.
1:21:03
Speaker 19: I've sat in spaces I would have never imagined. And
1:21:06
Speaker 19: there's one thing I've seen has been very consistent. It
1:21:08
Speaker 19: doesn't matter how wealthy a man is or what they have. Man,
1:21:11
Speaker 19: if a man does not have the Lord Jesus Christ,
1:21:13
Speaker 19: there will be something in their heart that makes them
1:21:15
Speaker 19: feel empty and void. And I think a lot of
1:21:17
Speaker 19: us are just pursuing all these things. At the end
1:21:19
Speaker 19: of the day, let's keep it real, right? Like there's
1:21:21
Speaker 19: a lot of people you can get to a bag.
1:21:22
Speaker 19: You could get to the top of the corporate ladder,
1:21:24
Speaker 19: have mad houses, cars, all the things. But there's a
1:21:27
Speaker 19: part of us that still wakes up empty, you know,
1:21:29
Speaker 19: still wakes up feeling unfulfilled. I've learned from talking to
1:21:32
Speaker 19: people all around the country and around the world that
1:21:34
Speaker 19: Christ is the thing that fills that. And so I
1:21:36
Speaker 19: had that vanity in my heart as a pastor. But
1:21:38
Speaker 19: that vanity was the proliferation of social media gives us
1:21:41
Speaker 19: windows into.
1:21:41
Speaker 2: Everybody else's life.
1:21:42
Speaker 19: And I think what that creates in us is a
1:21:44
Speaker 19: lot of jealousy for what other people have. So like
1:21:47
Speaker 19: your Charlemagne just got this big bag. I want that.
1:21:49
Speaker 19: Like your Envy got this dope crib and jersey.
1:21:51
Speaker 2: I want that. You know, just platform is blowing up.
1:21:54
Speaker 2: I want that.
1:21:54
Speaker 19: So because we got access into everybody's life, it creates
1:21:57
Speaker 19: a vanity of heart.
1:21:58
Speaker 2: That's like, I want what this person has, right? That
1:22:00
Speaker 2: wasn't me.
1:22:01
Speaker 19: So I'm pastoring. I'm saying like, yo, this dude got
1:22:03
Speaker 19: a big church. This dude's getting a bag. This dude
1:22:05
Speaker 19: is on this platform. This dude is at this conference.
1:22:07
Speaker 19: That's what I had in my heart. But God had
1:22:09
Speaker 19: to wring all that out of my heart. I had
1:22:10
Speaker 19: to get that stuff out of my heart. And the
1:22:12
Speaker 19: truth is crazy because once I had no desire for it,
1:22:15
Speaker 19: he gave me everything that I formerly wanted.
1:22:17
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
1:22:18
Speaker 19: So like for me right now, I don't really care
1:22:19
Speaker 19: about platform's or sitting on podcasts, like those things are not,
1:22:23
Speaker 19: that's not my desire. Like if they come, I take them.
1:22:26
Speaker 19: My desire is for impact. I want to see lives
1:22:28
Speaker 19: changed for the glory of Christ.
1:22:30
Speaker 4: What's one of the hardest things that you had to
1:22:31
Speaker 4: let go from the streets, right?
1:22:33
Speaker 12: To actually really fully embody your calling, like what God
1:22:37
Speaker 12: called you to do.
1:22:37
Speaker 4: What was like the most challenging thing to let go?
1:22:40
Speaker 19: Dang, that's a dope question. You know, I'm a hood
1:22:43
Speaker 19: dude at heart. I love the street. I love being
1:22:45
Speaker 19: on the block. And you know how people like, you know,
1:22:47
Speaker 19: some preachers be talking like, you know, they call your
1:22:49
Speaker 19: sin like nasty and all of that. I enjoyed my sin.
1:22:52
Speaker 19: I enjoyed the life I was living. So I think
1:22:54
Speaker 19: for me, the hardest thing to let go was friends,
1:22:57
Speaker 19: roaming the streets, being reckless in the streets, running with women,
1:23:00
Speaker 19: all the things I love.
1:23:01
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? I'm married now, but I
1:23:02
Speaker 2: love hopping from bed to bed.
1:23:04
Speaker 19: You know what I'm saying? I like rolling up blunts
1:23:05
Speaker 19: first thing in the morning. You know, I like pushing
1:23:07
Speaker 19: weight up and down the eastern seaboard. So it's like
1:23:10
Speaker 19: all the things that I enjoyed, I had to let
1:23:12
Speaker 19: all those things go. In essence, I had to let
1:23:14
Speaker 19: go of my will for God's will. And it cost
1:23:16
Speaker 19: me in the beginning. It was painful in the beginning.
1:23:18
Speaker 19: I shed many tears. But I'm thankful for where I
1:23:21
Speaker 19: am right now.
1:23:21
Speaker 2: I didn't hear you say you let go of your pistol.
1:23:23
Speaker 2: And your whole demeanor still gives off, you know. Your
1:23:28
Speaker 2: whole demeanor still gives.
1:23:29
Speaker 19: Off you might have it on you. I carry my
1:23:32
Speaker 19: pistol everywhere I go. I mean, obviously, I don't got
1:23:34
Speaker 19: it in the studio. But that's like my personal armor bearer.
1:23:37
Speaker 19: You know what I'm saying? And I mean, I got
1:23:39
Speaker 19: angels and I got pistols.
1:23:40
Speaker 2: I got a lot of them.
1:23:41
Speaker 19: And then, you know, somebody listening to this is going
1:23:42
Speaker 19: to give me a hard time, but they don't read.
1:23:45
Speaker 19: And there was this scene in the scriptures where Jesus
1:23:48
Speaker 19: was about to go preach somewhere. He turned to one
1:23:50
Speaker 19: of his closest disciples, his right-hand man. His man was Peter.
1:23:53
Speaker 19: He was like, yo, you got a sword on you?
1:23:54
Speaker 19: Peter was like, yeah, I got one. He said, go
1:23:56
Speaker 19: sell your jacket and buy another one. So the followers
1:23:59
Speaker 19: of Jesus, they were strapped. That's why when Jesus was
1:24:01
Speaker 19: being arrested, Peter pulled out a sword and cut a
1:24:03
Speaker 19: man's hair off.
1:24:03
Speaker 2: So they was always strapped. So there's nothing wrong with
1:24:05
Speaker 2: being strapped. It's just how you use it. What would
1:24:07
Speaker 2: you say to people who say you can't have a
1:24:09
Speaker 2: pistol and the whole armor of God? I believe in both.
1:24:11
Speaker 19: Well, I would just say, you know, the scripture I
1:24:13
Speaker 19: just cited, you know, the scripture I just cited is
1:24:15
Speaker 19: evidence that the apostles were always strapped at all times.
1:24:18
Speaker 19: It's not about being strapped. It's about how you use it.
1:24:20
Speaker 19: So that's number one. And number two, we do have
1:24:22
Speaker 19: the arm of God, but it's not the wrong way
1:24:24
Speaker 19: of having protection too. You know what I mean?
1:24:26
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
1:24:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:24:27
Speaker 1: Did you have to make good for some of the
1:24:28
Speaker 1: things that you said you did coming up when you
1:24:31
Speaker 1: were robbing, when you were selling drugs? Did you have
1:24:33
Speaker 1: to make good to those people?
1:24:34
Speaker 2: Or did you try to?
1:24:35
Speaker 19: Man, that's a darn good question, bro. Sometimes I feel
1:24:40
Speaker 19: bad about the lives that I ruined. I see the
1:24:42
Speaker 19: face of the last person I robbed at gunpoint. I
1:24:45
Speaker 19: see the lives of women that I ruined, abortions I
1:24:47
Speaker 19: paid for, all the things. And sometimes I feel guilty
1:24:50
Speaker 19: over those things. But like the Apostle Paul, the memory
1:24:53
Speaker 19: is a beautiful thing and it's a dangerous thing. With
1:24:55
Speaker 19: the memory, we remember things that God has done and
1:24:58
Speaker 19: it gives us faith for the future. But then With
1:25:00
Speaker 19: the memory, the devil will persecute us over our past.
1:25:02
Speaker 19: And that's why the Apostle Paul said, this one thing
1:25:04
Speaker 19: I do, I keep forgetting what is behind me and
1:25:06
Speaker 19: I got to press on towards what is ahead of me.
1:25:08
Speaker 19: So when those things come back up, I just got
1:25:10
Speaker 19: to push them to the past. I got to say,
1:25:11
Speaker 19: if it's under the blood, man has been forgiven. And
1:25:15
Speaker 19: I got to trust God that I have been forgiven.
1:25:17
Speaker 19: And I got to do my best to walk in
1:25:18
Speaker 19: that forgiveness, even though sometimes the hardest person to forgive
1:25:21
Speaker 19: is yourself.
1:25:22
Speaker 2: And I still struggle with that sometimes. You know, we're
1:25:24
Speaker 2: talking to D1.
1:25:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:25:25
Speaker 2: And he was talking about hell, right?
1:25:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:25:28
Speaker 1: I don't know how we got to that conversation, but
1:25:29
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, some of these rappers are
1:25:31
Speaker 1: going straight to hell. And we pushed back on it saying, well,
1:25:34
Speaker 1: how do you know that? How do you know what
1:25:36
Speaker 1: he did in his last minutes, his last moments? How
1:25:39
Speaker 1: do you know what that conversation with God's like? What
1:25:41
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on situations like that?
1:25:44
Speaker 2: Jesus and the apostles, when they're alive, they taught that
1:25:46
Speaker 2: hell was a real place. Let's just put everybody out
1:25:49
Speaker 2: of it. Let's just take D1 out, take me out.
1:25:51
Speaker 2: Of course. Jesus, who was a historical figure, lived in
1:25:53
Speaker 2: the first century. D died in A.D.
1:25:55
Speaker 3: 33. He taught.
1:25:56
Speaker 2: That hell was a real place. He taught that people
1:25:59
Speaker 2: are conscious when they're there, right?
1:26:01
Speaker 19: And that they are aware where they are, and they
1:26:04
Speaker 19: are aware that they're never going to get out. So,
1:26:05
Speaker 19: for example, I know what it is to be betrayed.
1:26:07
Speaker 19: I don't know if anybody here has ever been betrayed
1:26:09
Speaker 19: by somebody you love, right? So Jesus was betrayed by
1:26:12
Speaker 19: one of his closest men, a dude named Judas, right?
1:26:15
Speaker 19: According to history, Judas died. He did not make it
1:26:18
Speaker 19: into glory. So it's 2026. If that happened in the
1:26:22
Speaker 19: first century, that means Judas has been there for over
1:26:24
Speaker 19: 2,020 years. He's never going to get out. So let
1:26:27
Speaker 19: me just start by saying that Jesus taught that hell was.
1:26:30
Speaker 2: A real place.
1:26:30
Speaker 19: It's not mythological. People are physically there. That's number one.
1:26:34
Speaker 19: How do we know who ends up there? The people
1:26:36
Speaker 19: who end up in hell are the ones who reject
1:26:38
Speaker 19: the Lord Jesus Christ and his message of hope. Jesus
1:26:41
Speaker 19: is the only safe passage out of this life according
1:26:43
Speaker 19: to his own words, not Philip's words, his words. And
1:26:47
Speaker 19: so we got to decide, was he credible or not?
1:26:49
Speaker 19: If a person dies separated from Christ, according to his
1:26:53
Speaker 19: own words, they will be separated from God. And here's
1:26:55
Speaker 19: the things like, this is like, yo, I don't believe that.
1:26:57
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:26:58
Speaker 2: The Lord says something so controversial is controversial.
1:27:01
Speaker 5: To this day.
1:27:02
Speaker 19: And I know we like drama in our culture. If
1:27:04
Speaker 19: he was alive, his Instagram would be blowing up.
1:27:06
Speaker 2: He said these words. I am the way the truth
1:27:10
Speaker 2: and the life.
1:27:11
Speaker 19: No one comes to the father, God, but through me,
1:27:13
Speaker 19: that means Jesus was saying he's the only path to God.
1:27:17
Speaker 19: And if we die apart from him, we're going to
1:27:18
Speaker 19: be separated. So here's what we all got to decide.
1:27:20
Speaker 19: Was he credible? Or was he not credible? Was he
1:27:23
Speaker 19: telling the truth or was he a liar? Have you
1:27:25
Speaker 19: ever seen anybody come back from a funeral?
1:27:27
Speaker 2: No.
1:27:27
Speaker 19: Everybody, every funeral you've been to, that body's still in
1:27:30
Speaker 19: a box. You ain't never seen a family member come
1:27:32
Speaker 19: back for a funeral. If they did, how would that
1:27:34
Speaker 19: impact you?
1:27:35
Speaker 4: I wouldn't know what to do, to be honest.
1:27:37
Speaker 2: You would be rocked.
1:27:38
Speaker 3: Yeah. Right?
1:27:39
Speaker 19: So there was 500 people who saw Jesus alive after
1:27:42
Speaker 19: his funeral. They wrote down eyewitness accounts that they saw
1:27:45
Speaker 19: him with their own eyes. They were rocked just like
1:27:47
Speaker 19: you said you would be rocked. He is the only
1:27:50
Speaker 19: progenitor of any religion on the planet that has seen
1:27:53
Speaker 19: their leader come back from the dead. No other progenitor
1:27:56
Speaker 19: has ever made that claim. So here's my thing. If
1:27:59
Speaker 19: a man could be killed and raised from the dead,
1:28:02
Speaker 19: I'm inclined to believe that man is credible. Everybody else
1:28:04
Speaker 19: got to make the decision for themselves. So hell is
1:28:07
Speaker 19: a real place. People are there. And the people are
1:28:10
Speaker 19: there to once rejected the message of Jesus. I don't
1:28:12
Speaker 19: want that message.
1:28:13
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:28:13
Speaker 19: You can know him today as a loving savior, or
1:28:15
Speaker 19: you're going to meet him later as a wrathful judge.
1:28:17
Speaker 2: You say, I don't believe that.
1:28:18
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:28:18
Speaker 19: You'll believe that when you die, but there's no second chance.
1:28:21
Speaker 19: So I can't say who's in hell, who's not, but
1:28:23
Speaker 19: I can't say based on the scriptures, those who rejected
1:28:25
Speaker 19: the message of the gospel, that's where they end up
1:28:27
Speaker 19: if they die. So my thing is, if you breathe,
1:28:29
Speaker 19: then you still got hope.
1:28:30
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah.
1:28:31
Speaker 2: All right. Well, let's close this out on a prayer, brother.
1:28:34
Speaker 3: Can we please?
1:28:35
Speaker 1: Before we close out on prayer, there's one more thing
1:28:37
Speaker 1: that I wanted you to address because I've seen it online.
1:28:39
Speaker 3: Go ahead.
1:28:39
Speaker 2: I was doing my homework.
1:28:40
Speaker 20: Go ahead.
1:28:40
Speaker 1: People said they were mad at you for charging a
1:28:42
Speaker 1: VIP section at the church. Was that true? Or a
1:28:44
Speaker 1: Christian event?
1:28:45
Speaker 5: No.
1:28:45
Speaker 2: It's for the street preacher. And why? It ain't cheap.
1:28:47
Speaker 2: It's for my podcast.
1:28:48
Speaker 11: I know, that's right.
1:28:49
Speaker 2: I know, that's right.
1:28:49
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:28:52
Speaker 1: This guy's crazy.
1:29:00
Speaker 19: No, I'm a pastor, but I also got a podcast
1:29:04
Speaker 19: outside of my church. We spent $ 3 million to do that.
1:29:08
Speaker 19: We didn't charge nobody to get in. I didn't take
1:29:09
Speaker 19: them to offering. I didn't even promote my book, right?
1:29:13
Speaker 19: That's 2019. 2019 is a well-funded organization because of the
1:29:16
Speaker 19: generosity of people who believe in the mission of Jesus Christ.
1:29:19
Speaker 19: My podcast is separated from 2019. I got to fund
1:29:22
Speaker 19: that with my own pocket. So if my man and
1:29:24
Speaker 19: I travel around the country trying to share a message,
1:29:27
Speaker 19: how are we going to pay for venues, flights, hotels, security, insurance?
1:29:33
Speaker 19: That VIP ticket, a higher price, allowed us to allow
1:29:37
Speaker 19: teenagers and young people to come in for only $ 20.
1:29:40
Speaker 19: So they offset the price for other people who can't
1:29:42
Speaker 19: afford to get in. It's not VIP to meet me.
1:29:45
Speaker 19: It's called volunteer initial pay for somebody else paving the
1:29:49
Speaker 19: way for someone who can't afford to get in there.
1:29:52
Speaker 19: So if they got a problem with me selling tickets,
1:29:54
Speaker 19: I just say to them, they pay for Beyonce tickets.
1:29:57
Speaker 19: They pay to go see Jay at the baseball. Some
1:30:00
Speaker 19: of the same people that persecute me be spending tickets
1:30:03
Speaker 19: to go see everything else. But I got a ticket
1:30:05
Speaker 19: so I could cover my costs and they want to
1:30:07
Speaker 19: crucify me for that.
1:30:08
Speaker 2: I pray for them, bro. Why not take up a
1:30:11
Speaker 2: love offering, though? Like, even at those events. Like, I could.
1:30:14
Speaker 1: We.
1:30:14
Speaker 2: Know the pastor gotta live. To my podcast? Or at
1:30:17
Speaker 2: the church? At the place you said you didn't take
1:30:19
Speaker 2: the time to... To my access?
1:30:20
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:30:21
Speaker 2: Like, why not take up a love offering?
1:30:22
Speaker 4: You think they're mad at his ass?
1:30:24
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It's all good now.
1:30:27
Speaker 4: It's all good.
1:30:28
Speaker 2: We all know the pastor has to live. We know
1:30:30
Speaker 2: the pastor has to travel. Like, so why not take
1:30:32
Speaker 2: up a love offering?
1:30:34
Speaker 19: I just don't want to do it. I'm just not
1:30:36
Speaker 19: going to do it. I just got to trust God
1:30:37
Speaker 19: to provide for us.
1:30:38
Speaker 3: I believe.
1:30:39
Speaker 19: There's enough people in Atlanta and around the country who
1:30:40
Speaker 19: believe in what we're doing, and they're the ones that
1:30:43
Speaker 19: make it possible for us to do that. So what
1:30:45
Speaker 19: we did yesterday, 80,000 people at AT & T Stadium,
1:30:48
Speaker 19: that $ 3 million we spent to do that, that's a
1:30:50
Speaker 19: single mom who believe. That's a businessman who believe. I'm
1:30:53
Speaker 19: just not like a, I'm not the money dude. As
1:30:56
Speaker 19: a matter of fact, I do a terrible job raising money.
1:30:59
Speaker 19: It's one of the weakest parts of my ministry. If
1:31:02
Speaker 19: you ever watch me on Sunday, I don't even take
1:31:03
Speaker 19: up offerings.
1:31:04
Speaker 2: Where'd y'all get the $ 3 million to do the event?
1:31:06
Speaker 19: The the generous giving people who believe in our ministry
1:31:09
Speaker 19: the local disciples of 2019 in atlanta and the digital
1:31:12
Speaker 19: disciples across the country and around the world and truth
1:31:15
Speaker 19: be told we don't handle big donors like i've seen
1:31:17
Speaker 19: somebody on tiktok trying to say some big donor sponsored
1:31:20
Speaker 19: the joint you know they talk about all this you
1:31:23
Speaker 19: know illuminati conspiracy these these are lies and stupidity if
1:31:26
Speaker 19: you go check our records twenty dollars twenty five dollars
1:31:30
Speaker 19: ten dollars some single mother five.
1:31:32
Speaker 2: Dollars $ 8 is.
1:31:33
Speaker 19: Us being a good steward of all those little gifts
1:31:35
Speaker 19: coming in to do things like what we did yesterday.
1:31:38
Speaker 1: All right, well, now let's close out on prayer.
1:31:40
Speaker 2: You still going to let me pray on the platform? Absolutely.
1:31:43
Speaker 3: Word.
1:31:45
Speaker 19: Eternal God and ever wise Father, we thank you for
1:31:48
Speaker 19: the opportunity you created for us to have this conversation
1:31:51
Speaker 19: around my book, Contend. And for me to have this
1:31:53
Speaker 19: conversation with my brothers and my sisters. We pray that
1:31:55
Speaker 19: this conversation will be influential and it will be a
1:31:58
Speaker 19: blessing to those who are listening. I pray for the
1:32:00
Speaker 19: person who's far away from you, that you would draw
1:32:02
Speaker 19: them to yourself. You reveal Christ to them and they
1:32:05
Speaker 19: will know Christ as a loving savior in this life.
1:32:08
Speaker 19: I pray for those who are already saved, who are Christians,
1:32:11
Speaker 19: that you will convict us all of the lifestyle and
1:32:13
Speaker 19: the way that we live that turns other people away.
1:32:15
Speaker 19: I pray you set the church on fire and awaken
1:32:18
Speaker 19: your bride in this hour. And I pray for the
1:32:20
Speaker 19: men and women who are in the studio. I pray
1:32:22
Speaker 19: blessing and favor over them, that they are prosper and
1:32:25
Speaker 19: thrive in their industries and in the works of their hands,
1:32:28
Speaker 19: and that they will know the Lord Jesus Christ as
1:32:30
Speaker 19: their Savior. I ask this in the mighty, in the majestic,
1:32:33
Speaker 19: in the matchless name of our soon-coming King, the Lord
1:32:36
Speaker 19: Jesus Christ.
1:32:37
Speaker 3: Amen. Amen.
1:32:38
Speaker 1: Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell, thank you, brother. Contenders out right now.
1:32:42
Speaker 2: Pick it up. It's The Breakfast Club.
1:32:43
Speaker 3: Good morning.
1:32:43
Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
1:32:47
Speaker 1: We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest
1:32:49
Speaker 1: with Lauren.
1:32:50
Speaker 4: Lauren will be coming straight back.
1:32:53
Speaker 1: So 30 years uh guys after the 1996 murder of tupac.
1:33:18
Speaker 13: Dwayne Kifidi Davis has been sentenced to 40 years to
1:33:22
Speaker 13: life in prison for the murder. Now, you guys will
1:33:24
Speaker 13: remember that he was sentenced. I'm sorry, not sentenced. He
1:33:27
Speaker 13: was found guilty of first degree murder back in August
1:33:30
Speaker 13: for plotting the killing of Tupac that happened in 96
1:33:34
Speaker 13: near the Las Vegas Strip. At the time, Tupac was
1:33:36
Speaker 13: 25 years old and at the height of his career.
1:33:38
Speaker 13: Let's take a listen to Judge Carly Kearney as she
1:33:40
Speaker 13: sentenced Kifidi.
1:33:42
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
1:33:43
Speaker 3: Mr.
1:33:43
Speaker 17: Davis, for three years, I've heard you say some variation
1:33:46
Speaker 17: of the same thing. to law enforcement, to BET, in
1:33:50
Speaker 17: your book, and it's something like, yeah, I was involved
1:33:53
Speaker 17: in this, but I'm different.
1:33:55
Speaker 3: I've moved on.
1:33:56
Speaker 4: I'm here to tell you that's.
1:33:57
Speaker 17: Not how this works, okay? You don't get to take
1:33:59
Speaker 17: a man from his family. You don't get to take
1:34:01
Speaker 17: his very life, his whole future from him, and just
1:34:04
Speaker 17: walk away from it, especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
1:34:06
Speaker 11: The world never.
1:34:07
Speaker 17: Forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas.
1:34:10
Speaker 17: It took us 30 years, but at this time, you
1:34:12
Speaker 17: are going to face justice for what you did on
1:34:14
Speaker 17: September 7, 1996. In accordance with the laws of the
1:34:17
Speaker 17: state of Nevada, you're hereby judged guilty of first-degree murder
1:34:19
Speaker 17: with use of a deadly weapon, a felony. As to
1:34:22
Speaker 17: the first-degree murder portion, you are sentenced to 20 years
1:34:25
Speaker 17: to life. As to the deadly weapon enhancement, you are
1:34:28
Speaker 17: sentenced to a mandatory consecutive 20 years to life. The
1:34:31
Speaker 17: aggregate sentence is 40 years to life. You have 731
1:34:34
Speaker 17: days credit time served toward that sentence. You are hereby remanded.
1:34:38
Speaker 13: Tupac's family, of course, were there. His brother, let me
1:34:42
Speaker 13: start with his brother first, Moprim Shakur, talked about how
1:34:46
Speaker 13: devastating and heartbreaking and sad for him and his family
1:34:48
Speaker 13: and for all of the Tupac fans all of this was.
1:34:51
Speaker 13: His sister, Set Shakur, gave an impact statement as well,
1:34:55
Speaker 13: and she was really emotional just about Tupac's impact and
1:34:58
Speaker 13: where things would have been now missing her brother.
1:35:00
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
1:35:01
Speaker 1: He was cocky.
1:35:02
Speaker 3: He did have a big head. He did think he
1:35:05
Speaker 3: was Black Jesus.
1:35:06
Speaker 21: He did think that everything that has happened, actually, The
1:35:10
Speaker 21: way that we know Tupac today was exactly his plan.
1:35:13
Speaker 21: He wanted to have a bobblehead. He wanted to be
1:35:17
Speaker 21: known in Africa. This was his plan. And he would
1:35:21
Speaker 21: have done such good work with that plan. I miss
1:35:24
Speaker 21: my brother. I miss his scars on his head. He
1:35:27
Speaker 21: had a strawberry on his chest. I miss the way
1:35:30
Speaker 21: he ate.
1:35:32
Speaker 3: We lost something.
1:35:33
Speaker 4: Our whole generation lost something.
1:35:37
Speaker 5: September 13, 1996.
1:35:42
Speaker 4: Yeah. Really emotional for them, as you guys can imagine.
1:35:45
Speaker 2: Only 25 years old, too. Yeah. Only 25 years. It
1:35:48
Speaker 2: is something poetic about.
1:35:49
Speaker 3: You know. 25?
1:35:50
Speaker 19: 25.
1:35:50
Speaker 2: It is something poetic about all of this happening 30
1:35:54
Speaker 2: years after his passing, though. Like, who would have scripted that?
1:35:58
Speaker 2: Who would have scripted on the 30th anniversary of Tupac's passing?
1:36:01
Speaker 2: Somebody would have been convicted for his killing. That's wild.
1:36:04
Speaker 1: Now, is it true, I seen it on the news
1:36:06
Speaker 1: this morning, that they played an audio of him asking
1:36:08
Speaker 1: for his stuff back? Did they ask for the stuff back?
1:36:11
Speaker 4: I can't confirm. I don't know that.
1:36:13
Speaker 13: But what I do know is that when you talk
1:36:15
Speaker 13: about all these years later, you know, what has been
1:36:18
Speaker 13: consistent is the fact that there was never a murder
1:36:20
Speaker 13: weapon recovered. Law enforcement had a lot of challenges trying
1:36:23
Speaker 13: to get people to be, you know, witnesses.
1:36:25
Speaker 2: He earned it on himself.
1:36:27
Speaker 4: Of the street code.
1:36:29
Speaker 13: But Keefie D's book literally is what came about and
1:36:32
Speaker 13: transformed all this.
1:36:33
Speaker 1: I do know that he used direct quotes.
1:36:34
Speaker 4: They use quotes. They use interviews directly in this trial.
1:36:39
Speaker 2: He's in this situation because of him. That's right. But
1:36:41
Speaker 2: it's also another example of how you can't run from yourself.
1:36:46
Speaker 2: I don't care what it is you think you got
1:36:47
Speaker 2: away with. You cannot run from yourself. Eventually, it'll catch up.
1:36:50
Speaker 15: Yeah.
1:36:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:36:53
Speaker 13: I mean, I had Audio QFD ask it for an appeal,
1:36:57
Speaker 13: but I don't even know. I mean, we can listen
1:36:59
Speaker 13: to it if we want, but go ahead, play it.
1:37:02
Speaker 3: I got 1,111 days.
1:37:04
Speaker 17: A lot of those days, Mr. Davis, did go to
1:37:06
Speaker 17: the other case that you served time on.
1:37:08
Speaker 4: And I know you're wrong.
1:37:09
Speaker 3: I was in here for this case. I was in
1:37:11
Speaker 3: jail for this case. Right. They let that man out
1:37:15
Speaker 3: to attack me.
1:37:16
Speaker 2: That's wrong.
1:37:17
Speaker 17: I understand that's your position.
1:37:18
Speaker 3: However, legally speaking. My position, that's true.
1:37:20
Speaker 17: However, the law says that I cannot credit that torture sentence.
1:37:24
Speaker 17: Anything else you want to say?
1:37:26
Speaker 3: I'm going to appeal this case for sure.
1:37:28
Speaker 2: You got 40 years? How much credit do you think
1:37:31
Speaker 2: you're going to get?

1:39:40
Speaker 2: an investor. He's an entrepreneur. He left the marketing and

1:40:55
Speaker 2: I do, but I want to remind everybody that the
1:40:58
Speaker 2: UJC Summit is happening this Saturday, the United Justice Coalition Summit,
1:41:05
Speaker 2: an array of esteemed speakers and panel discussions, networking opportunities.
1:41:10
Speaker 2: And the summit basically explores viable solutions to the challenges
1:41:14
Speaker 2: within our criminal justice. legal system, and provides numerous opportunities
1:41:17
Speaker 2: for attendees to take positive action. So if you want
1:41:21
Speaker 2: to go, it's a free event. Just go to unitedjusticecoalition.com
1:41:25
Speaker 2: and register to be there. That's it. Just that simple. Unitedjusticecoalition.com.
1:41:30
Speaker 2: Register to be there. I'll be there doing a panel
1:41:33
Speaker 2: on mental health and the justice system. So we'll see
1:41:35
Speaker 2: you this Saturday. Now, the positive note is this. You
1:41:38
Speaker 2: attract what you tolerate. What you allow continues, not because
1:41:43
Speaker 2: people are malicious, because you've shown them what's acceptable. Every
1:41:46
Speaker 2: time you accept less than you deserve and say nothing,
1:41:49
Speaker 2: you set a price.
1:41:50
Speaker 1: Every time you tolerate behavior that hurts.
1:41:52
Speaker 2: You and you stay anyway, you establish a limit. People
1:41:55
Speaker 2: learn how to treat you from you. And if you
1:41:57
Speaker 2: keep accepting what you say you won't accept, the lesson
1:42:00
Speaker 2: never changes. Raise the standard, not with speeches and ultimatums,
1:42:04
Speaker 2: but with actions. Leave what needs to be left. Require
1:42:07
Speaker 2: what needs to be required. And watch how quickly the
1:42:09
Speaker 2: energy around you shifts. Have a great day.
1:42:12
Speaker 4: That is powerful, Sean.
1:42:14
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
1:42:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:42:15
Speaker 2: Breakfast club, bitches. You all finished or.
