- 5:51Speaker 1: Envy Angela, Ye Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Barack Obama gave his farewell speech, very sad, very touch.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Let's play a flip a quick audio of the spece.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Michelle Lavone Robinson, girl of the South Side. For the
- 6:09Speaker 1: past twenty five years, you have not only been my
- 6:12Speaker 1: wife and mother of my children, you have been my
- 6:15Speaker 1: best friend. You took on a role you didn't ask for,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and you made it your all with grace and with grit,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and with style and good humor. So we're asking eight
- 6:29Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one. How did
- 6:31Speaker 1: Barack Obama's presidency inspire you? Now? I tell you mine
- 6:35Speaker 1: I got two young black boys, So the fact that
- 6:37Speaker 1: they can grow up and see a black president and
- 6:39Speaker 1: really believe that they can possibly become president means the
- 6:42Speaker 1: world to me. What about you? Ye? I think health wise,
- 6:46Speaker 1: President Barack Obama, That's probably one way that I was
- 6:48Speaker 1: inspired the most. Just even seeing his wife go out
- 6:50Speaker 1: and do this whole campaign on fighting obesity and being
- 6:54Speaker 1: healthier and making sure that everybody has healthcare. I know
- 6:56Speaker 1: that was a big deal for him, and I agree
- 6:58Speaker 1: with that also, So that's part of what inspired me
- 7:01Speaker 1: to even get involved in opening the juice bar What
- 7:04Speaker 1: about you? For me? Man, I think it would be
- 7:07Speaker 1: the title of Barack Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope.
- 7:10Speaker 1: You know, the greatest thing Barack Obama did would provide hope.
- 7:12Speaker 1: And if you don't think hope is important, to ask
- 7:14Speaker 1: yourself why you don't have any right now? Okay? He
- 7:16Speaker 1: was a great symbol that things have gotten a lot
- 7:20Speaker 1: better in America because the black man is president. You know,
- 7:22Speaker 1: we know this is a country that was built on
- 7:24Speaker 1: you know, systemic racism and institutional lives depression. So the
- 7:28Speaker 1: fact that a black man became president, it provided a
- 7:32Speaker 1: lot of hope and also just as a man, because
- 7:35Speaker 1: even if you don't like Barack Obama's politics, even if
- 7:38Speaker 1: you feel like he didn't do anything for you, he
- 7:40Speaker 1: didn't do anything for black people, whatever, just as a man,
- 7:44Speaker 1: you have to admit he's one of the most decent
- 7:46Speaker 1: men walk in the face of the earth. Because if
- 7:48Speaker 1: they had something on Barack Obama that they could smear
- 7:52Speaker 1: his name and slanmed in him, they would have used it.
- 7:55Speaker 1: By now. The fact he never had no side children,
- 7:59Speaker 1: no side women. You never heard about him saying anything
- 8:03Speaker 1: derogatory about anyone. Just the fact of him being such
- 8:06Speaker 1: a decent man. He provided a lot of inspiration. All right, Well,
- 8:09Speaker 1: let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this Michelle?
- 8:12Speaker 1: Hey Michelle, Has Barack Obama inspired you at all? He did?
- 8:16Speaker 1: He did. He inspired more of my sons than me,
- 8:19Speaker 1: because I have a black son, of course, and I
- 8:21Speaker 1: never thought going up growing up. I'm half fun half black,
- 8:24Speaker 1: so I never thought going up that it would be
- 8:26Speaker 1: a black president three So for me to see us
- 8:30Speaker 1: and for my son to see that he's sixteen years old,
- 8:32Speaker 1: it's amazing. The only thing that was hard for me
- 8:35Speaker 1: was explaining gonna watch on the Trump as president. Des y'all,
- 8:39Speaker 1: y'all are really kind of misconstruing this thing here. But
- 8:42Speaker 1: you mean Barack Obama got a lot of education like
- 8:45Speaker 1: Barack Obama, went to horror like Barack Obama. It took him.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It took him a lot to build that foundation to
- 8:51Speaker 1: be president. Donald Trump has nothing. But as a kid,
- 8:53Speaker 1: did you ever think you would see a black president? No?
- 8:55Speaker 1: I didn't think I would see one. And but to
- 8:58Speaker 1: say you think you can be one, it's different. It
- 9:00Speaker 1: takes a lot of work to be the first black president,
- 9:02Speaker 1: but it can't be done in that shows if you're
- 9:04Speaker 1: a young black boy that you can work. Yeah, it
- 9:06Speaker 1: could be done with a lot of hard work. But
- 9:07Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a better case of optimistic. Donald has
- 9:10Speaker 1: a lot of bread and they say worth a billionaires.
- 9:12Speaker 1: He didn't become president because he had a lot of bread.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton raised more money in her campaign, became popular
- 9:16Speaker 1: because he has a lot of bread. No, he did
- 9:19Speaker 1: not for presidency a lot of reasons. The reason why
- 9:22Speaker 1: he's so biggest because he's a millionaire and billionaire. If
- 9:24Speaker 1: that was the case, the billionaire I remember president at
- 9:27Speaker 1: the time, Ross Ross Pio, he'd have been president it's
- 9:28Speaker 1: not about money. It's not about money. Hello, who's this
- 9:33Speaker 1: nap down? Hey? What's up? Bro? Man? I just want
- 9:35Speaker 1: to say, first off, you know Obamama, he's a black
- 9:38Speaker 1: and white president. We don't get a white side credit.
- 9:41Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean. But he's mad, brother,
- 9:46Speaker 1: so you know we still what the fine VOUTI was
- 9:50Speaker 1: the fact that he had a black woman and black
- 9:52Speaker 1: little children in that white house. That was a good
- 9:54Speaker 1: look to see psychologically for kids out here, A strong
- 9:58Speaker 1: black family and a good position. Absolutely. Eight hundred five
- 10:01Speaker 1: eight five, one on five. When we're asking has Barack
- 10:04Speaker 1: Obama's presidency inspired you? Call us up right now? Is

- 12:17Speaker 1: President Barack Obama, I'm gonna pay him his respect and
- 12:20Speaker 1: call him president because he still lives. The most inspiring
- 12:24Speaker 1: thing is the fact that he had the most perfect
- 12:26Speaker 1: set of ways and it's never been seen out and
- 12:28Speaker 1: about what a do rag that's inspiring. I don't seen
- 12:32Speaker 1: you coons out and about rapping in the win, but

- 12:42Speaker 1: what Nicky Manada say back in the day, what ways
- 12:45Speaker 1: on swim so they ain't on him. Hello, yeah, Hey,
- 12:49Speaker 1: who's this Mike, Mike, Good morning, Good morning. Did Barack
- 12:53Speaker 1: Obama inspire you? He really did? You know? As being
- 12:56Speaker 1: a young black boy, I'm a senior in high school,
- 12:58Speaker 1: try to make goals in life. He's a everyday reminder
- 13:00Speaker 1: is saying to always keep pushing hard and whatever they
- 13:02Speaker 1: tell you can't do, you can't do because you know
- 13:05Speaker 1: they don't like to see its conceeded sometimes. But we
- 13:07Speaker 1: gotta fight and do whatever they do ten times better
- 13:10Speaker 1: than they do it. I'm always gonna remember that. And
- 13:11Speaker 1: by the way, I need you grow them in to
- 13:13Speaker 1: stop referring yourselves as black boys, your young black man, sir. Right, Hello,
- 13:18Speaker 1: who's this it is? It's Johnson Charleston. He John was
- 13:23Speaker 1: happenings inspired you? Bro? Yeah? Inspired me many telling us
- 13:28Speaker 1: that we ain't really ain't got no ceilings seeing that
- 13:30Speaker 1: you have Spanish descent, Uh shown me black? You know
- 13:34Speaker 1: I'm black? Why? What's wrong with you boys? Let's not
- 13:40Speaker 1: get off track? Go ahead? What why? Oh my bad man?

- 13:51Speaker 1: sorry about wrong? Yeah, but you know, we ain't got
- 13:55Speaker 1: no ceilings and for the stars. Man, I feel like
- 13:58Speaker 1: I could do anything right now, you know, but especially
- 14:01Speaker 1: when Donald Trump be president, and I feel like I
- 14:02Speaker 1: really could do anything, you know, with charges and everything.
- 14:06Speaker 1: So I feel like that I'm talking about Donald Trump
- 14:11Speaker 1: is the greatest case of optimism for anybody in America.
- 14:14Speaker 1: If Donald Trump can become the president of the United States,
- 14:17Speaker 1: I can do anything. Okay, you're not talking about Donald Trump.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Barack is a special human being, all right here. They
- 14:23Speaker 1: don't make them like barc what's the moral of the story?
- 14:25Speaker 1: I mean, the moral of the story is hope. You know.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Sometimes that's all you have when you have nothing else.
- 14:28Speaker 1: If you have it, you have everything. And I mean
- 14:30Speaker 1: that's one thing that Barack Obama provided for us. The
- 14:32Speaker 1: most inspiring thing that I got from his speech was accountability.
- 14:36Speaker 1: That should be your word for twenty seventeen. Accountability, because
- 14:38Speaker 1: we must be the change we want to see in
- 14:40Speaker 1: the world, and we have to be accountable for ourselves
- 14:42Speaker 1: and our own success and happiness. Contrary to popular belief,
- 14:45Speaker 1: can nobody do that for you? Morning? Everybody is j
- 14:51Speaker 1: N V D do slow down, slow down. Okay, I

- 16:34Speaker 1: I have no because I'm tune in show. I'm gonna
- 16:38Speaker 1: tell you this. That's because men don't want their women
- 16:40Speaker 1: to go to these review shows, so they put they
- 16:43Speaker 1: y'all put that room. Say that's what it is. Because
- 16:45Speaker 1: I've hosted men green shows before, and I'm gonna tell
- 16:48Speaker 1: you the first time I did it, I had some
- 16:50Speaker 1: of my friends, I mean, Melissa Foy was with me too. Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 1: and I had to host the mail review show and
- 16:54Speaker 1: my friends were very like, oh, I don't want nobody
- 16:57Speaker 1: to touch me. By the time we got in there
- 17:00Speaker 1: and they had some drinks, my friends had a penis
- 17:03Speaker 1: thumped on her head and they had a great get
- 17:06Speaker 1: that graphic. But my friends in the middle of the
- 17:08Speaker 1: stage going crazy because I'm not gonna lie at the
- 17:10Speaker 1: middle review shows. These guys have a lot of talent. Yea,
- 17:13Speaker 1: how your name again? My ex girlfriend gave me that name.
- 17:20Speaker 1: To be honest. We had a few sessions that night,
- 17:22Speaker 1: you know, and she she was like, you know, I
- 17:25Speaker 1: got a perfect name for you, and I was like
- 17:27Speaker 1: that now was the end? You know, to strip club
- 17:41Speaker 1: and Dan Females Dance. No, I'm gonna tell you, I've
- 17:43Speaker 1: been to a Magic City in Atlanta. When I started
- 17:46Speaker 1: doing the show. I went there because guess what, the
- 17:48Speaker 1: strip clubs in Atlanta I have turned into the clubs.
- 17:52Speaker 1: It's like that everybody going there and just having a
- 17:54Speaker 1: good time. It used to be so taboo to say,
- 17:57Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm going to a strip club. Now
- 17:59Speaker 1: everybody's like, what's happening? Where you going there? And they're
- 18:01Speaker 1: having a good time. The music is real good, and
- 18:04Speaker 1: that's what I'm like. You know, I don't try to
- 18:06Speaker 1: be a hater. I try to be a congratulator if
- 18:08Speaker 1: that's what's working. And also for my sisters, I got tired.
- 18:11Speaker 1: If you go to Vegas, you only got thunder from
- 18:13Speaker 1: down Under or Chippendale's with that one brother over in
- 18:15Speaker 1: the corner. And I was like, oh really, even magic, Mikey,
- 18:18Speaker 1: did you know I had to be agent. Let's not
- 18:26Speaker 1: leaving in the Why wouldn't they dance for gatement because
- 18:29Speaker 1: there's no need to they dance for women. Okay, but
- 18:32Speaker 1: what happens called the ultimate girl's light out for race?
- 18:36Speaker 1: But what happens if men just happened to the couple
- 18:38Speaker 1: that have a couple of guys to come there? You
- 18:40Speaker 1: know what I mean? But you know if place for
- 18:45Speaker 1: guys to meet women though, because you go to a show,
- 18:49Speaker 1: the women in there are feeling good. It's all women.
- 18:52Speaker 1: So if you happen to be a guy in the audience,
- 18:54Speaker 1: I think the best thing to do is have a meal,
- 18:55Speaker 1: review show, and then have a party after exactly that
- 19:00Speaker 1: come Oh yeah, we love too, exactly love them all.
- 19:04Speaker 1: So let's talk about some of the things you guys
- 19:06Speaker 1: have to do to prep to perform, because I know
- 19:08Speaker 1: you have to like make sure that y'all get a
- 19:10Speaker 1: chump before y'all stay erect. And I heard you have
- 19:12Speaker 1: to like tie and yeah, I can't dance like that.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Danced too hard to be dancing with blood and you know,
- 19:21Speaker 1: and my thing thing, you know, I gotta I tried
- 19:24Speaker 1: it once and I almost passed that because you know,
- 19:28Speaker 1: if you're tying around it every tight like y'all, don't
- 19:31Speaker 1: do it. I don't play with my thing. I need
- 19:32Speaker 1: my thing to work right when I know that's right,
- 19:34Speaker 1: but you do it heat, I mean some challenge. What
- 19:40Speaker 1: you're working with actually depends how long the show was,
- 19:43Speaker 1: because like if if the show's one to fifteen minutes,
- 19:45Speaker 1: if you travel, if that's all you, it's all you
- 19:51Speaker 1: don't want to get gang green. You know. A couple
- 19:54Speaker 1: of days ago was Angelie's birthday, so she really would
- 19:57Speaker 1: like a dance before you, guys. Leader. That's what is
- 20:22Speaker 1: how quickly he got into it, real quick, that's all
- 20:27Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's all right though, we appreciate it. We
- 20:31Speaker 1: appreciate it. Happy birthcake, sweet because black I respected though,
- 20:36Speaker 1: because guys do this type of stuff all the time,
- 20:39Speaker 1: of course, so it's good to see a woman taking
- 20:41Speaker 1: charge and saying, you know what, let's pimp some of
- 20:43Speaker 1: these men to Well, we're not pimping, but that's the
- 20:46Speaker 1: beauty of the show. It's being the head chicking charge.
- 20:48Speaker 1: And then you get to see I have a show runner,
- 20:51Speaker 1: show producer that's also a female. Your Weekend Kiana. And
- 20:54Speaker 1: what we did is that we had a nationwide search,
- 20:56Speaker 1: guys from all over America audition for the show and
- 21:00Speaker 1: we picked an Elite eight. And what it is is
- 21:02Speaker 1: our journey of getting a residency in Las Vegas. Because
- 21:06Speaker 1: when we did go to Las Vegas, um we met
- 21:08Speaker 1: Billy Cross from Thunder Found from down Under. They've been
- 21:10Speaker 1: on the Las Vegas trip for close to twenty years.
- 21:13Speaker 1: They are booked internationally and domestically year round. Really yeah,
- 21:17Speaker 1: oh they pay. That's where women. So that's what I
- 21:23Speaker 1: thought for the sisters that you know, we need bachelorette parties,
- 21:26Speaker 1: divorced parties just because it's Wednesday parties, right, you know,
- 21:29Speaker 1: just because all right, keep a lack. We got more
- 21:31Speaker 1: with Vica A Fox coming up and we might try
- 21:34Speaker 1: to give ye another lap. Then you know, her birthday
- 21:36Speaker 1: was the other day. Keep it locks the breakfast club
- 21:38Speaker 1: the morning I'm telling you wanted everybody is DJ N
- 21:45Speaker 1: v Angela, Ye Charlomagne, the guy we are to breakfast club.
- 21:48Speaker 1: We have advocate a fox in the building Charlemagne. Yes
- 21:53Speaker 1: I do. I mean I just out of respect. I mean,
- 21:55Speaker 1: I just didn't want to be like yes, trip at
- 21:57Speaker 1: number one too, you know, like they've become my family,
- 22:00Speaker 1: but we haven't spend money like men and it's your class.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Oh yes, we have a change machine that when they
- 22:06Speaker 1: come in that they're waiting to come in. Oh yeah,
- 22:09Speaker 1: I'm telling you you have to check out every ship
- 22:11Speaker 1: that comes, like you gotta say naked. And they asked
- 22:17Speaker 1: them to do is definitely man escape, you know what
- 22:19Speaker 1: I mean. I'm sorry, but you know, they just you know,
- 22:24Speaker 1: they like it to be smooth when bushman it stay
- 22:27Speaker 1: on their behind. But you know, and my guys, we
- 22:30Speaker 1: make sure that they're in great shape. They work out,
- 22:32Speaker 1: which is good. And like I said, you know for
- 22:35Speaker 1: all the guys like let your ladies wash the show
- 22:37Speaker 1: because you trust me, you're gonna reap the benefits after this.
- 22:39Speaker 1: They're a lot of diversity in the mad Exotic dance
- 22:41Speaker 1: industry because for me, it seemed like I always noticed
- 22:43Speaker 1: the white Yeah, well that's all that's been put out
- 22:46Speaker 1: there for shipp indells and stuff like that. So that's
- 22:49Speaker 1: why last you know, when the show came out. We
- 22:51Speaker 1: came out on Wednesday night, we were trending and and
- 22:53Speaker 1: everyone's like, thank you, something finally something for us, something
- 22:57Speaker 1: we could get. Yeah, and it's hard to find a
- 23:00Speaker 1: male review show like even here. It's like a not
- 23:04Speaker 1: very frequent thing. It's like a special occasion in the
- 23:09Speaker 1: middle of so basically you want their business card before
- 23:12Speaker 1: you leave. And then I got a lot of male
- 23:14Speaker 1: exotic das. Right, you're bam, there you go. But we're
- 23:17Speaker 1: grateful to Lifetime. They gave us eight episodes. It was
- 23:20Speaker 1: the first pitch that I went out there with Propagate
- 23:24Speaker 1: Howard Omens. They literally bought eight episodes. It was the
- 23:28Speaker 1: first pitch that I did. And that's rare. I've been
- 23:29Speaker 1: in Hollywood for years and when you pitch shows, it's
- 23:32Speaker 1: rare that they buy it just that quick. And a
- 23:34Speaker 1: year later, here we are on the air. That's a
- 23:36Speaker 1: personal question. Do you still get this is gonna be
- 23:37Speaker 1: sounding crazy? Do you still hornie seeing men now? Because
- 23:41Speaker 1: you see it all the time. I'm sure, like I'm
- 23:44Speaker 1: in a strip club so much nothing, it doesn't it's
- 23:46Speaker 1: not's not these girls do nowadays don't turn you very
- 23:51Speaker 1: I'm a very straight woman strictly over here. But I
- 23:54Speaker 1: even went to the strip club and then girls will
- 23:56Speaker 1: do tricks. I was like, wow, I mean it really is.
- 24:00Speaker 1: You need to start going to see some mail scripts.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you burnt out on the women sound change.
- 24:08Speaker 1: They keep y'all learn a lot from these guys. I
- 24:11Speaker 1: just think like different waiting. You know, the girls are
- 24:15Speaker 1: learning to do their routines like none of it impressious.
- 24:18Speaker 1: What can God do now? The one time? The right there? No, no, no,
- 24:27Speaker 1: no no. But there's a lot of poles in the
- 24:29Speaker 1: male script club. I don't know if you want to
- 24:31Speaker 1: slide down it though, if you can see how they
- 24:32Speaker 1: can take your girl and put it on one hand
- 24:34Speaker 1: and spin her around, let's see you friend, don't do
- 24:38Speaker 1: her like private dance. But you're I see. I've been
- 24:41Speaker 1: in the checkup. I see the women up. They flip
- 24:44Speaker 1: them around, they do all kinds of checks, They have recreds,
- 24:46Speaker 1: they get chicks with fire. Yeah, don't come on you ready,
- 24:58Speaker 1: I got out of you, not dollars only. Okay, you
- 25:05Speaker 1: can't give me, give him some room, give him let
- 25:08Speaker 1: me start your day off, right, that's right, Okay, here
- 25:11Speaker 1: you go. That makes you guys room and he's sitting
- 25:14Speaker 1: down about what time her face? Yeah, it's just swallow.
- 25:32Speaker 1: That's now. Don't you deny texting Tino? Later on we
- 25:42Speaker 1: try your money off bright with you and show thank
- 25:49Speaker 1: you for being a willing party. It's not that easy. No,

- 26:32Speaker 1: was the Milizack dancer. He had a piercing on his
- 26:34Speaker 1: penis and a guy ripped out. I used to have
- 26:39Speaker 1: a belly ring and I did a movie and it
- 26:41Speaker 1: got time. It got ripped out, and I was like, okay,
- 26:43Speaker 1: that's ad of the piercings. Yeeks. I right, we'll keep it. Lock.
- 26:46Speaker 1: We got more with Vivica a Fox. Don't go anywhere.

- 26:51Speaker 1: on my own morning everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne,
- 26:57Speaker 1: the guy, we are the breakfast Club, Vivica eight Fox
- 27:00Speaker 1: is still in the building with us, Shellman. You know
- 27:02Speaker 1: what I want to ask With the current landscape with TV,
- 27:05Speaker 1: like with Blackish and The Landing and Empire, they say
- 27:08Speaker 1: they feel like the nineties back. Someone who wants that?
- 27:11Speaker 1: Do you feel like, yes, I do. You know, it's
- 27:14Speaker 1: been a long time coming for things too, for us
- 27:16Speaker 1: to feel like, wow, when you turn on the TV,
- 27:19Speaker 1: you see good, good, um quality products. Do you know
- 27:23Speaker 1: what I mean? Especially for women with Scandal, Empire, How
- 27:27Speaker 1: to Get Away with Murder, Uh, Shonda Rhymes all of
- 27:29Speaker 1: her shows. Um, it's been a long time coming because
- 27:32Speaker 1: it seemed like for a minute they kind of forgot
- 27:34Speaker 1: about us, do you know what I mean? It's kind
- 27:36Speaker 1: of like what happened in politics, how they felt like, oh,
- 27:38Speaker 1: y'all forgot about us, and now we go go crazy
- 27:40Speaker 1: and go all mighty whitey. But that's all right, but
- 27:44Speaker 1: now we're back on TV and things. Why do you
- 27:46Speaker 1: think it was a lapse though it seems like like
- 27:48Speaker 1: the nineties was popping, Well, reality happened to be honest
- 27:52Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, Wow. Yeah. Reality TV definitely changed a
- 27:56Speaker 1: lot for um actors and actresses because you know, they
- 28:00Speaker 1: could pay people to show up fifteen hundred dollars and
- 28:03Speaker 1: if that didn't do anything, if that and so that
- 28:07Speaker 1: took over and then you got your reality stars, uh, Instagram,
- 28:11Speaker 1: social media all that. It was just it was a
- 28:14Speaker 1: different time for that. Now that's kind of like fading away,
- 28:17Speaker 1: and now actors are coming back that people finally got
- 28:19Speaker 1: hip to the fact that, oh, that's scripted in a
- 28:22Speaker 1: way too. It's not it's not you know what I mean,
- 28:25Speaker 1: because it's a storyline, and they get people storylines when
- 28:28Speaker 1: they acted out. Now, so I think now they really
- 28:30Speaker 1: want to see actors. Do they think because of you?
- 28:32Speaker 1: I would always hate Officer Scrow and Detective Waller. Okay,
- 28:37Speaker 1: set Off shot you in the Bagle and I was, so,
- 28:47Speaker 1: did you know it? Where we go, where we go,
- 28:53Speaker 1: where we go, where we go? Let me think, But
- 28:55Speaker 1: you're right, can you believe it's been twenty years? Yeah,
- 29:01Speaker 1: because we had killed to everybody. I think it was
- 29:11Speaker 1: a classic. I commend f Gary Gray that he because
- 29:13Speaker 1: you know, right now they're making remakes of every damn thing,
- 29:16Speaker 1: and I just commend f. Gary Gray that he was like,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know what, nah, they did it do that? Well? Well,
- 29:22Speaker 1: we had no idea that it was going to be
- 29:23Speaker 1: that huge and it, like you said, it plays all
- 29:26Speaker 1: the time and people just absolutely love it. Thank Yeah,
- 29:29Speaker 1: we appreciate the support. Got snub that should have got
- 29:32Speaker 1: an oscar. Uh. We did our thing. But once again
- 29:35Speaker 1: I commend the director F. Gary Gray because when we
- 29:37Speaker 1: originally got the script, um, the characters were almost kind
- 29:40Speaker 1: of laughable. It was all the stereotypes of African Americans
- 29:44Speaker 1: so um. Every day that we would come to rehearsals F.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Gary Gray, we were just tossing out pages. He's like,
- 29:49Speaker 1: we have got to explain why you guys backs are
- 29:52Speaker 1: against the wall. Why did you all decide if there's
- 29:55Speaker 1: no motivation for the journey, then we're not going to
- 29:57Speaker 1: believe it. And we did all the shooting running. I'm
- 30:00Speaker 1: we filmed for six weeks at night, and those girls
- 30:04Speaker 1: will always have a special place in my heart. Y'all
- 30:06Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a classic when y'all recorded it.
- 30:08Speaker 1: We had a good feeling about it because we was
- 30:09Speaker 1: putting it down, Like Queen Latifa was like, damn never cry,
- 30:13Speaker 1: like this, and you know, we just had scenes that
- 30:16Speaker 1: were gut wrenching and it was great that Latifa and
- 30:19Speaker 1: Jada and us us that we all knew each other.
- 30:22Speaker 1: So it was we was like, we're gonna make this work.
- 30:24Speaker 1: And Latifa was doing living single album at the same time.
- 30:29Speaker 1: I mean like some days she would be in the
- 30:31Speaker 1: makeup chair just sleep, but she never showed up with
- 30:34Speaker 1: an ego, no drama. It was like, we all wanted
- 30:37Speaker 1: it to be good. Now her curb your enthusiasms coming
- 30:39Speaker 1: back too, ld So does that I don't know if
- 30:42Speaker 1: the Blacks are coming back. We shall see, by the way,
- 30:46Speaker 1: that's the characters. Yeah, we don't know if the Blacks
- 30:49Speaker 1: are coming back. But you know another show that took
- 30:52Speaker 1: my career to another level because when I did the show,
- 30:55Speaker 1: he wanted to make sure that we stripped away Vivica Fox.
- 30:58Speaker 1: He was like, Yo, I want you to come in.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I want no glamour, I want you to be just raw.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I want people to know that you can just really
- 31:04Speaker 1: be funny. And when you came in, they just gave
- 31:07Speaker 1: me like a little synopsis and you kind of came
- 31:09Speaker 1: up with your own script. We seen you on Wendy
- 31:11Speaker 1: and I'm glad you squashed your beefs and everything and
- 31:12Speaker 1: the more problems. That's good for the new year needed to.
- 31:15Speaker 1: You know, it's a good thing because it was real petty,
- 31:18Speaker 1: but I'm just funny. It's hell, I know, And it's
- 31:22Speaker 1: crazy because that when they're like I said, I always
- 31:28Speaker 1: have love for him, and I hated that it had
- 31:29Speaker 1: to go left. But you know the thing for me
- 31:32Speaker 1: is that, you know, when he was attacking my empire
- 31:34Speaker 1: family and you know, y'all know me, I'm always real
- 31:36Speaker 1: and I had to stand up on my family. Many fights,
- 31:39Speaker 1: do you get into it because you look like you
- 31:40Speaker 1: will punch up immediately. I won't anymore because I get sued, Okay,
- 31:44Speaker 1: But back in the day though, you know, you know,
- 31:47Speaker 1: pretty girl, they try to think you weak. But yeah,
- 31:49Speaker 1: it was time to squash that. You have to be
- 31:51Speaker 1: grown up, put it out there. But oh thank you, Charloman.
- 31:56Speaker 1: I knew that was good. We knew that was coming
- 31:58Speaker 1: some time. You know, she does what do you do?
- 32:04Speaker 1: Do you put chocolate honey? Regular? There was no ass
- 32:12Speaker 1: eating that went on. That was a that was a
- 32:14Speaker 1: story that he that he came up with. I think
- 32:16Speaker 1: because it wasn't true. It's interesting that anybody can say
- 32:19Speaker 1: anything and people believe it's true. Though. Yeah, yeah, that
- 32:23Speaker 1: wasn't nothing crazy though. Yeah yeah, I mean it's really
- 32:25Speaker 1: not that crazy. But I wouldn't what it is. He
- 32:28Speaker 1: would have been a good mel exotic dancer. I always
- 32:30Speaker 1: felt like in this hey day absolutely hey day. Yeah,

- 32:35Speaker 1: Jack always thought women on man's ass. Try to put
- 32:37Speaker 1: a little knuckle in it, because when he tried to
- 32:39Speaker 1: use it against you that you as you could always say,

- 33:55Speaker 1: And we asked her if her strippers were dand some
- 33:58Speaker 1: men gay man and she said hell no, And people
- 34:00Speaker 1: got upset about this and what happened because of that year.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Now her partner, executive producer, has cut ties with her,
- 34:09Speaker 1: but he's still executive producer on the show. So we're
- 34:11Speaker 1: asking eight hundred and five A five one h five
- 34:13Speaker 1: one of people being too sensitive, right, I don't think
- 34:16Speaker 1: people are being too sensitive. I think that you can't
- 34:17Speaker 1: tell people how to react. If people want to react
- 34:20Speaker 1: to her and they're upset at her they have that
- 34:22Speaker 1: right to be upset. All right, okay, but let's go
- 34:24Speaker 1: to the phone lines. Hello, who's this Tiffany? Hey, Tiffany,
- 34:27Speaker 1: you heard what Vivica Fox said? What do you think?
- 34:29Speaker 1: I think that's just not wrong. I think they're trying
- 34:32Speaker 1: to push this gay send the thing too far. If
- 34:34Speaker 1: you don't believe in it, you don't believe in that.
- 34:36Speaker 1: I teach my child marriages a man and a woman.
- 34:39Speaker 1: If you bring home anything else that's not accessible. What
- 34:43Speaker 1: that's what you say to your kids. Yes, that's how
- 34:46Speaker 1: it's crazy. So if your son or your daughters gay,
- 34:50Speaker 1: you know, they won't tell you. They'll keep it from you.
- 34:51Speaker 1: They'll probably hate you and resent you. Yeah, and you
- 34:53Speaker 1: can tell their father and stuff, because my husband is more.
- 34:56Speaker 1: But we teach them, you know, we show them a
- 34:58Speaker 1: marriage is between man and a woman. If you don't
- 35:01Speaker 1: believe in they don't believe it that. I feel like
- 35:03Speaker 1: they're forcing it or people don't believed you don't believe
- 35:07Speaker 1: you don't believe it that. Yeah, and there's nothing and
- 35:09Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with you raising your kids that way.
- 35:12Speaker 1: If that's the way you feel like you need to
- 35:13Speaker 1: raise your kids. The problem is everybody minding each other's
- 35:15Speaker 1: business for no damn reason about raising you kid, You
- 35:19Speaker 1: raising your kids, tell them about if if a man
- 35:21Speaker 1: likes a man is unacceptable. If I'm a parent, I
- 35:24Speaker 1: can teach my kid anything I want to. That's not
- 35:27Speaker 1: the only problem is you don't want your kids to
- 35:28Speaker 1: look at other people and judge them based on their
- 35:31Speaker 1: lifestyle choices. And you don't want your kids to come
- 35:33Speaker 1: to you and say hey and not want to come
- 35:35Speaker 1: to you if there's something wrong. A lot of people
- 35:37Speaker 1: repress their feelings because they're scared to talk to their parents.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Once again, this boils down to a matter of choice.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I have their choice to say what I want, and
- 35:46Speaker 1: people have the choice to react how they want. That
- 35:48Speaker 1: lady has the power to She has the choice to
- 35:50Speaker 1: teach our kids whatever she wants to teach them. It's
- 35:52Speaker 1: not illegal. Hello, who's this? This is from Hope County, Florida.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Hey Kayson, we're talking to some comments not God saving
- 36:00Speaker 1: street right. My my views on the whole thing. I'm
- 36:05Speaker 1: a black lesbian myself, so you know, just coming from
- 36:08Speaker 1: the gay community, I feel like, you know what she said,
- 36:11Speaker 1: what's wrong, But you know, in the tone she said
- 36:14Speaker 1: it might have been, but she says, they not. That's
- 36:17Speaker 1: for gay guys. They're not. That's for get guys. So
- 36:20Speaker 1: she met that. Okay, so you're not offended. No, I'm
- 36:23Speaker 1: not at all. Yeah, but you're not a gay person
- 36:25Speaker 1: in position of power that can stop her show or
- 36:28Speaker 1: quick walking with her. The people and Paula want to
- 36:31Speaker 1: take they they sensitive, too sensitive? Maybe they're not. Ye,
- 36:39Speaker 1: She's allowed to have her opinion. So lesbians are monolitht
- 36:43Speaker 1: now lesbians do all things differently. What are y'all saying?
- 36:46Speaker 1: We're saying that she has opinion. That's her opinion, my opinion.
- 36:52Speaker 1: But one of the gay dudes that works on the show,
- 36:55Speaker 1: why do you he coming in the gay dude, I said,
- 36:58Speaker 1: one of the gay dudes that work works on the show,
- 37:01Speaker 1: who may be an EP on the show, who may
- 37:03Speaker 1: be in control of the show. They may not feel
- 37:05Speaker 1: like working with vehicle no more. That's fine. You never
- 37:07Speaker 1: know who you're going to offend when you say certain things. Exactly.
- 37:11Speaker 1: I know, we were just asking for people's opinions. The
- 37:13Speaker 1: moral of the story is you just don't know how
- 37:15Speaker 1: people are going to react to things, period, right, And
- 37:18Speaker 1: that's fine. She just gave her react, It's time for
- 37:26Speaker 1: Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Dunky
- 37:31Speaker 1: of the day a little bit of a mixed so
- 37:33Speaker 1: like a Donkey o the day. Now I've been called
- 37:41Speaker 1: a lot of my twenty three years that Donkey of
- 37:43Speaker 1: the day is a new wife. Yes, Dunkey of the
- 37:48Speaker 1: day goes the young Kodak Black. I have no problems
- 37:50Speaker 1: with the young man Kodak Black, but Donkey of the
- 37:53Speaker 1: Day does not discriminate. And this is a teachable moment. Okay,
- 37:56Speaker 1: if you don't know who Kodak Black is, He's a
- 37:58Speaker 1: young Haitian rapper from Florida. Socpos say to all my
- 38:01Speaker 1: Haitians out there, you hear that all brought up in
- 38:06Speaker 1: mesis Haitian envy Spanish. But you can never scream out
- 38:10Speaker 1: so po say and not get a mabu laid back. Okay,
- 38:12Speaker 1: the same way you can never say rain drop dropped
- 38:15Speaker 1: out exactly. Okay. Now Kodak Black is popping out here
- 38:18Speaker 1: in these creets. He just got out of jail recently
- 38:20Speaker 1: and he picked up right where he left off. Kodak
- 38:22Speaker 1: Black is out here saying he's the best rapper alive.
- 38:25Speaker 1: And I have no problem with that. If you wrap,
- 38:26Speaker 1: you should feel like that. In fact, forget rap. Whatever
- 38:29Speaker 1: you do, you should feel like you're the best at it.
- 38:31Speaker 1: If you don't, what's the point of doing it? What
- 38:33Speaker 1: you're gonna say to yourself, I'm the most decent rapper alive,
- 38:36Speaker 1: I'm the most average rapper alive. I'm the most pretty
- 38:39Speaker 1: good rapper alive. Now I'm the best rapper alive. Period.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to plant things in people's mind, you
- 38:44Speaker 1: have to speak things in the fruition. We all saw
- 38:46Speaker 1: this happened for a Little Wayne back in the day.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Wayne stepped it up lyrically on the dedication mix tapes
- 38:50Speaker 1: and started saying he was the best rapper alive, and
- 38:52Speaker 1: people started buying into it. I had no problem with that,
- 38:55Speaker 1: even whether I agreed or disagreed with his best rapper
- 38:58Speaker 1: alive claims doesn't matter. If you feel that way, he said,
- 39:01Speaker 1: but you must be able to back it up with
- 39:04Speaker 1: bars raps. Okay, Little Wayne said he was the best
- 39:07Speaker 1: rapper alive, and he showed him prove that he was
- 39:09Speaker 1: one of the best rappers alive by wrapping his ass off.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Which brings me to young Kodak Black see Kodak seems
- 39:16Speaker 1: the one to challenge Little Wayne for the best rapper
- 39:18Speaker 1: alive moniker. Now, if I claim to be the best
- 39:21Speaker 1: rapper alive and another rapper had that title, then I
- 39:25Speaker 1: would think the best way to prove I'm the best
- 39:27Speaker 1: rapper alive is by rapping. But Nope, not Kodak. Black.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Let's hear what you have to say. L L Wayne
- 39:34Speaker 1: fight me or for the not that stupid ass stopt
- 39:37Speaker 1: everything on it. Since Soldier boy at Chris Brown doing it,
- 39:40Speaker 1: I don't even need no trainer. I don't even floored
- 39:42Speaker 1: me whether Adrian Brawn to beat let Wayne stupid ass.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Watch and whoever wind and a pistur. Now, Kodak, listen
- 39:52Speaker 1: to me, young brother. I'm not the highest grade of
- 39:54Speaker 1: weed in the dispensary, but I do know just because
- 39:56Speaker 1: you possibly could beat Little Wayne in the fight doesn't
- 39:59Speaker 1: mean you can rap better in a Little Wayne. It
- 40:00Speaker 1: just means you can fight better than Wayne. I don't
- 40:02Speaker 1: see the correlation. See, in order to be the best
- 40:04Speaker 1: rapper alive, you have to rap better than other rappers.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Contrary to a lot of you new Negroes popular belief,
- 40:09Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who has the most guns doesn't matter
- 40:12Speaker 1: who has the most money, doesn't matter who has the
- 40:15Speaker 1: most Instagram followers, doesn't matter who can fight better. If
- 40:19Speaker 1: you say you're the best rapper alive, you have to
- 40:21Speaker 1: prove it with bars in music. My brother, I'm all
- 40:24Speaker 1: for the young and challenging the throne. But if you're
- 40:25Speaker 1: gonna challenge the throne, a best rapper alive, rap, okay,
- 40:30Speaker 1: challenge it. We're rapped not by fighting. And by the way,
- 40:32Speaker 1: if Little Wayne didn't know you before, he probably knows
- 40:35Speaker 1: you now, and it's for all the wrong reasons. Oh
- 40:37Speaker 1: Kodak Black, that's the guy who said he's the best
- 40:39Speaker 1: rapper alive, but he'd rather fight me to prove it
- 40:41Speaker 1: than actually rap. If a barber says he's the best
- 40:44Speaker 1: barber alive, he has to cut hair. If a chef
- 40:47Speaker 1: says he's the best chuff alive, he has to cook.
- 40:50Speaker 1: If a woman says she has the best poom poom alive,
- 40:53Speaker 1: then she has to pop that wet wet for a
- 40:55Speaker 1: goon and prove it. So if you say you're the
- 40:56Speaker 1: best rapper alive, I hate to be redundant, but you
- 40:59Speaker 1: have to rap best rapper alive, prove it with bars,
- 41:04Speaker 1: not fist. Please give young code that black some of
- 41:07Speaker 1: those smooth sounds to the Hamletones. Please. You are the
- 41:10Speaker 1: donkey o the day, you are the donkey the d
- 41:26Speaker 1: he all right, I really shouldn't even have to tell
- 41:31Speaker 1: anybody that, by the way, No, I shouldn't, but common
- 41:34Speaker 1: sense it's not so common all right, Well, thank you
- 41:36Speaker 1: for that donkey today, sir, wanting everybody, it's DJ m
- 41:41Speaker 1: vi Agela Ye Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.
- 41:44Speaker 1: We got some special guests in the building. I'm gonna
- 41:46Speaker 1: f your name up. So I'm just gonna tell you
- 41:47Speaker 1: how that's immediate. How can you have a calmon? Perez?
- 41:49Speaker 1: Got Tamika Mallory's calmon Perez, Linda Sar don't act like you?
- 42:06Speaker 1: So we sound like the chorus that a Women's March
- 42:10Speaker 1: on Washington? What is it? And what is it about? Well?
- 42:13Speaker 1: The Women's March on Washington was announced right after the election.
- 42:18Speaker 1: The day after the election by a woman in Hawaii,
- 42:22Speaker 1: a grandmother, retired grandmother who sent an invitation to forty
- 42:25Speaker 1: of her friends saying that she wanted to march, and
- 42:28Speaker 1: ten thousand people responded to her invitation by the time
- 42:32Speaker 1: we received a call because the event was basically announced
- 42:36Speaker 1: by white women, and by the time they called us
- 42:38Speaker 1: to ask women of color to get involved and to
- 42:40Speaker 1: help really set the tone and agenda for this effort,
- 42:43Speaker 1: it was up to about one hundred thousand people. At
- 42:46Speaker 1: this point, we're at about two hundred and forty five
- 42:48Speaker 1: thousand people who are interested in coming or registered at
- 42:52Speaker 1: some place or some you know, some forum. And so
- 42:55Speaker 1: the purpose of the march is really to ensure that
- 42:59Speaker 1: this incoming administration, as well as our Senate, our Congress
- 43:03Speaker 1: and everyone else knows that women's rights are human rights
- 43:05Speaker 1: and they won't be rolled back. I mean, we're going
- 43:07Speaker 1: to Washington to really deal with the racism, sexism, misogyny,
- 43:12Speaker 1: and all the different issues, the isms that have oppressed
- 43:14Speaker 1: people for a long time before Donald Trump would even
- 43:17Speaker 1: became a thing. And so many will gather. But it's
- 43:20Speaker 1: not just women as families, the entire family, because you know,
- 43:23Speaker 1: the woman holds the entire family on our bad. Well,
- 43:25Speaker 1: are you trying to paint it as an anti Trump demonstration? Well,
- 43:28Speaker 1: because people are not necessarily sophisticated in their political understanding.
- 43:32Speaker 1: I mean, we particularly you had us here when we
- 43:36Speaker 1: marched from New York City to Washington, DC. So we've
- 43:38Speaker 1: been protesting a long time. We would have been going
- 43:40Speaker 1: to Washington Trump, No Trump, Hillary Clinton, It didn't matter
- 43:42Speaker 1: to us. And so, you know, a lot of people
- 43:45Speaker 1: just and a lot of people should be concerned about
- 43:47Speaker 1: Donald Trump. He is an issue, but there's many there
- 43:50Speaker 1: are other people and other elements that need to be addressed.
- 43:52Speaker 1: And there's also a saying and Kenyon on violence in
- 43:55Speaker 1: the Ideology of Doctor King that says attacked the forces
- 43:58Speaker 1: of evil, not people doing evil. And so it's beyond Trump, right,
- 44:01Speaker 1: it's the fact that in this country, in the fabric
- 44:04Speaker 1: of this country, there's racism, there's sexism, and so we
- 44:06Speaker 1: need to look beyond Trump. Obviously address him, let him
- 44:09Speaker 1: know that we're watching him, but also know that we
- 44:12Speaker 1: have to deal with the systemic racism and all the
- 44:14Speaker 1: stuff that comes with it. And Trump is a narcissist, right.
- 44:18Speaker 1: The brother wants us to say it's about him, and
- 44:20Speaker 1: it ain't about him. And I think what we're trying
- 44:22Speaker 1: to the tone we're setting for people is that this
- 44:24Speaker 1: ain't always about what we're against. We're always against racism,
- 44:27Speaker 1: we're always against police brutality. We're always against segregation, but
- 44:31Speaker 1: we're trying to tell people it's time to say what
- 44:33Speaker 1: you're for, which, what do you stand? What do you value?
- 44:35Speaker 1: It's like, what do you stand for? What are the solution? What?
- 44:38Speaker 1: What kind of world do you envision? Versus we're always
- 44:41Speaker 1: trying to survive, But it's time that we start talking
- 44:42Speaker 1: about how we five in this country. And that's what
- 44:44Speaker 1: we're hoping. The tone that we said is and it's
- 44:46Speaker 1: right after inauguration day, all the next day, the first day,
- 44:49Speaker 1: and also my birthday. Are you I don't want to
- 44:53Speaker 1: say afraid? Phrase not the right word. Um. Are you
- 44:56Speaker 1: concerned that if the day after the election, I'm sure
- 44:59Speaker 1: a Trump Yeah, I'm sure it'll be a lot of
- 45:01Speaker 1: Trump supporters still in DC. Yeah. No, I mean we
- 45:04Speaker 1: don't get tired, we don't get afraid. I mean, you know,
- 45:07Speaker 1: our brother, my son Lennon, march with us from New
- 45:10Speaker 1: York City to Washington, DC. And on the road, you
- 45:13Speaker 1: could you know there was all kinds of stuff happening.
- 45:15Speaker 1: KKK yelling at us, blowing smoke back in our facing cars,
- 45:19Speaker 1: calling us all types of in words and what have you.
- 45:22Speaker 1: We're used to that we deal with this all the time.
- 45:24Speaker 1: Now there's some people who are really concerned. Is there
- 45:27Speaker 1: gonna be security. Dude, we got bike racks, you got
- 45:29Speaker 1: poor the pots, you gotta permit all those things, and
- 45:32Speaker 1: we are making sure that this event is properly secure.
- 45:35Speaker 1: That's interesting because we were talking behind the scenes about
- 45:37Speaker 1: overt racism and have you ever experienced that? And I know,
- 45:41Speaker 1: I said I have shall man. You said you've never
- 45:42Speaker 1: really experienced. I'm sure I've experienced covertly, but I've never
- 45:46Speaker 1: had a white man called me and my face or
- 45:49Speaker 1: to That is right, But I think we have to
- 45:50Speaker 1: get to the point we're hearing them say it about
- 45:53Speaker 1: someone else means it's over right, so we feel it.
- 45:56Speaker 1: And that's what this is about. This is about the
- 45:58Speaker 1: fact that we have to respect one another's justiss. So
- 46:00Speaker 1: for some people it's reproductive justice, right, but for others
- 46:04Speaker 1: it's racial justice. And we're going to Washington, DC in
- 46:07Speaker 1: solidarity with women. A lot of them have never marched
- 46:10Speaker 1: anywhere before in their lives. And if you read our
- 46:13Speaker 1: Facebook page, you'll see all these women talking about I
- 46:15Speaker 1: didn't even know that racism existed. I follow me had
- 46:19Speaker 1: gotten past it and they really believe this, but they
- 46:21Speaker 1: are now beginning to see that there are some serious issues.
- 46:24Speaker 1: And I'm excited that this particular convening is opening the
- 46:28Speaker 1: eyes of folks who have never ever paid attention to
- 46:30Speaker 1: these issues before. And it's historical. It's the first time
- 46:34Speaker 1: in any president's history for this type of mass mobilization
- 46:39Speaker 1: to happen on their first day. How do you all
- 46:41Speaker 1: respond though, Like you mentioned, the KKK was blowing smoke
- 46:44Speaker 1: and people were throwing things. How do you guys respond
- 46:46Speaker 1: to that? When you're low Martin and Malcolm it's it's
- 46:49Speaker 1: a combination of both. O. Yeah, I think that. Yeah. Yeah.
- 47:01Speaker 1: About the myth that that Martin was soft, right, because
- 47:05Speaker 1: Martin was radical and it's the reason why he was assassinated. Right,
- 47:08Speaker 1: he was moving towards some poor man, the poor People's
- 47:12Speaker 1: campaign and all yep um. But certainly the way in
- 47:15Speaker 1: which we respond is that we show something different. Right.
- 47:18Speaker 1: I Obviously you see us here we are three women
- 47:21Speaker 1: of color representing the targets of Donald Trump. Right, I'm
- 47:25Speaker 1: Mexican American. Linda Sarsore is Palestinian from Brooklyn. Obviously you
- 47:30Speaker 1: know to me because she's she's African American and so
- 47:32Speaker 1: like we go out and we see our liberation bound
- 47:36Speaker 1: in one another, and so we're gonna fight for that
- 47:38Speaker 1: no matter what. And we're gonna show people that they
- 47:40Speaker 1: could do the same and create entry points. And so
- 47:42Speaker 1: when we say that there are women here who have
- 47:45Speaker 1: never been um who I've never marked, or have never
- 47:49Speaker 1: participate in protests, there's an opportunity here, and that's what
- 47:52Speaker 1: we're trying to do is give them direction. So it's
- 47:55Speaker 1: not really necessarily about jan twenty first. Yes, we want
- 47:58Speaker 1: people there, we need them there. We need to show
- 48:01Speaker 1: critical resistance through numbers, but we also want people to
- 48:04Speaker 1: go back to their communities and to organize and to
- 48:07Speaker 1: tap into communities and to actually do something. So we're
- 48:11Speaker 1: trying to ignite a spark that will continue beyond January
- 48:14Speaker 1: twenty first. We have more with Tamika Mallory, Calmon, Ferez
- 48:17Speaker 1: and Linda Saucer coming up next on The Breakfast Club,
- 48:23Speaker 1: Piece of the Planet, Good Morning dj N v Angelie
- 48:26Speaker 1: I go by the name of Charlotmagne, the guy with
- 48:28Speaker 1: the world most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club, we
- 48:30Speaker 1: have Tamika Mallory, Calmon Perez and Linda Saucer in the building.
- 48:33Speaker 1: There's a big woman's march on Washington coming up this Saturday.
- 48:36Speaker 1: Are you shocked that you're receiving some pushback? Like I
- 48:40Speaker 1: even saw a woman writing article and she said, I
- 48:43Speaker 1: think her name was I can't pronounce her name. It's
- 48:45Speaker 1: like she could dill me or something. But she said
- 48:47Speaker 1: that the march has already failed because it's a feel
- 48:49Speaker 1: good exercise in search of a cause, and it fizzles
- 48:52Speaker 1: and fails at doing that. But every time I read
- 48:54Speaker 1: about it, I understand what the cause is. I mean
- 48:56Speaker 1: that the issue is. And we've had critics. I mean
- 48:57Speaker 1: that's what that's what happens. If you don't have critics,
- 48:59Speaker 1: you're not doing the right thing. And people got to
- 49:01Speaker 1: be in the organizing to know who the people are
- 49:04Speaker 1: that are behind this. There are people here we've gotten
- 49:05Speaker 1: arrested in civil disobedience. We understand intersectionality. I'm Muslim. To
- 49:09Speaker 1: your point about discrimination. There are people in our country
- 49:11Speaker 1: who get attacked on the streets of their own community
- 49:13Speaker 1: just for the virtue of who they are. We deport
- 49:16Speaker 1: a thousand immigrants every single day in this country. So
- 49:18Speaker 1: people are what kind of feel good exercise. We're doing
- 49:20Speaker 1: mass mobilization. We are people with full time jobs who
- 49:23Speaker 1: have dedicated every extra hour in our lives. Some of
- 49:27Speaker 1: us got kids that we got to take care of,
- 49:29Speaker 1: and we're out here talking about protecting our communities. We're
- 49:32Speaker 1: standing out here saying and sending a strong message that
- 49:35Speaker 1: nobody's going to ignore when you see the amount of
- 49:37Speaker 1: people out there that we're watching you. But we're also
- 49:40Speaker 1: going to defend our communities by any means necessary. So
- 49:42Speaker 1: I don't understand where people come up with these things.
- 49:44Speaker 1: And sometimes people want to write our coattails, like you
- 49:46Speaker 1: Women's March on Washington. There's a lot of media out there,
- 49:49Speaker 1: so if you want to get trending, you want to
- 49:50Speaker 1: say something about the march that you haven't even reached
- 49:53Speaker 1: out to us, Like you want to have a conversation
- 49:54Speaker 1: about feel good exercise and you think that's what it is.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Let's have a conversation. Our emails are public, our phone
- 49:59Speaker 1: numbers are public. We are public people. We are on Twitter,
- 50:01Speaker 1: we are on Facebook. So it bothers me sometimes that
- 50:04Speaker 1: people are are creating these opinions without actually having the
- 50:09Speaker 1: real conversations and the courageous conversation that we need to have.
- 50:11Speaker 1: I was going to ask how do you fund your
- 50:13Speaker 1: beliefs because I mean, like you said, it costs money
- 50:15Speaker 1: to do this. Yeah, people who can't be at the march,
- 50:18Speaker 1: how can they support the cause financially. So I'm the
- 50:20Speaker 1: head of fundraising. Go you gotta put the Arab girl
- 50:31Speaker 1: from Brooklyn had a fundraising. Look, this costs money. Freedom
- 50:34Speaker 1: ain't free in this country. If you want to, if
- 50:36Speaker 1: you want to fight for your right to this country,
- 50:37Speaker 1: you gotta pay. And it's either you pay now or
- 50:40Speaker 1: you're gonna pay later, and it's not going to be pretty.
- 50:42Speaker 1: You go to the Women's March dot com and you
- 50:44Speaker 1: donate there. You have to understand again once again, we
- 50:46Speaker 1: have full time jobs here, We got families, and we
- 50:49Speaker 1: are putting everything that we can to make sure people
- 50:51Speaker 1: feel safe when they get their handicap accessible, poor to potties.
- 50:54Speaker 1: A stage you if you and the if you twelve
- 50:56Speaker 1: blocks down, you got to hear what's happening at the rally.
- 50:58Speaker 1: There's no point of you coming all the way out there.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Jumbotrons like security insurance like this is a mass, mass operations.
- 51:07Speaker 1: We need, we need money. We need to raise money
- 51:09Speaker 1: and We've been fortunate that people have supported us, and
- 51:11Speaker 1: we've been working with organizations that have come through for us,
- 51:14Speaker 1: including Planned Parenthood and our GC, which is a climate
- 51:17Speaker 1: justice organization. We've had individual donors, women colors. You, yeah,
- 51:22Speaker 1: labor has come through for us. So Women's March dot com.
- 51:25Speaker 1: UM donate to us. UM, believe in us and believe
- 51:28Speaker 1: in our vision and to know that we are centering
- 51:30Speaker 1: the most marginalized communities and you are investing in the
- 51:33Speaker 1: leadership of not just women, but women of color. Like
- 51:35Speaker 1: the time is now for us to get our due
- 51:37Speaker 1: credit for the work and the shoulders of the giants
- 51:41Speaker 1: that we stand on, Like we're not the first people
- 51:42Speaker 1: to do a march, Like we know that we are
- 51:45Speaker 1: carrying on a legacy, UM, and we hope people see
- 51:47Speaker 1: this because it is a historic Like we know we're
- 51:49Speaker 1: making history. Like that's why we're invested interested. I feel
- 51:52Speaker 1: like it had been powerful regardless of who won the election,
- 51:54Speaker 1: of would have had to mobilized. I wasn't on that
- 51:59Speaker 1: team any and you know what, we absolutely would have
- 52:04Speaker 1: had to now with these same women have been involved.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Not sure probably would have been us out here. So
- 52:09Speaker 1: sometimes God will take what is bad and make it good.
- 52:12Speaker 1: And so when we look at Donald Trump, that is
- 52:14Speaker 1: like it. I mean, for some people it's such a shock.
- 52:17Speaker 1: For us, it's it's the reality that we live in
- 52:20Speaker 1: and exist in all the time. But it's it's probably
- 52:23Speaker 1: it's probably a good thing for some folks that this
- 52:26Speaker 1: is actually waking them up and forcing them to come
- 52:28Speaker 1: to the table because they're afraid. And everyone has a
- 52:31Speaker 1: different entry point. We've been asking white women, where have
- 52:34Speaker 1: you been? Where were you when Sandra Bland was killed?
- 52:37Speaker 1: Where were you for Trey von Mare and where were you?
- 52:39Speaker 1: And the list goes on, Eric Ghana, all the names. Um,
- 52:42Speaker 1: But we're glad that you're here now and now you
- 52:45Speaker 1: actually need to kind of be quiet and listen and learn.
- 52:48Speaker 1: And they're not. They're not having the easiest time dealing
- 52:50Speaker 1: with that. But there are some who are willing to
- 52:53Speaker 1: be like real allies that at the table when they
- 52:55Speaker 1: really really want to be engaged. But it's not just them.
- 52:58Speaker 1: For the purpose of this show, our own people need
- 53:01Speaker 1: to get up off of our asses, like if we
- 53:04Speaker 1: also because we have to be in the front of
- 53:06Speaker 1: our issues, if we want other people to be pushing
- 53:08Speaker 1: us from behind, How different are white women's rights versus
- 53:11Speaker 1: women of colors. But well, I mean certainly that has
- 53:14Speaker 1: been the topic of conversations feminism and and you know,
- 53:21Speaker 1: and when you look at reproductive rights, you know that's
- 53:23Speaker 1: a big issue, which black women care about reproductive rights
- 53:26Speaker 1: as well. But we're like, Okay, I have a reproductive
- 53:29Speaker 1: rights issue, and then I also can't get a job,
- 53:32Speaker 1: and then my husband is mass incarcerated and all of that.
- 53:35Speaker 1: So for them, they are dealing with many of the
- 53:38Speaker 1: symptoms of sort of the cancer the sickness that we're
- 53:41Speaker 1: dealing with every day. So they got like the arm hurting,
- 53:44Speaker 1: you know, they got a headache, but we're dealing with
- 53:46Speaker 1: like the whole body is dying. And so there the
- 53:49Speaker 1: intersectionality piece is important. And again having everyone come together
- 53:53Speaker 1: to respect one another's justice, what it is that we're
- 53:56Speaker 1: fighting for is what this whole and also show up
- 53:58Speaker 1: for one another right like a lot of us. I know,
- 54:01Speaker 1: Linda and myself show up for Black Lives Matter, also
- 54:04Speaker 1: Palestinian rights um and my family is personally impacted buy incarceration.
- 54:09Speaker 1: So for me, that's what I've dedicated the last twenty years.
- 54:12Speaker 1: And so to actually be part of this march and
- 54:14Speaker 1: reach out of my own. I'm responsible for partnerships, and
- 54:17Speaker 1: so a lot of the people that I'm talking, I'm
- 54:24Speaker 1: responsible for partnerships for this march, and so I'm speaking
- 54:26Speaker 1: to people that I haven't necessarily build with, and so
- 54:29Speaker 1: it's it's a learning opportunity. I'm talking. You know, how
- 54:32Speaker 1: are we really being intentional about being intersectional? Because we
- 54:35Speaker 1: can't cover every issue on stage right, We're not going
- 54:38Speaker 1: to be able to know. But we're to your point
- 54:40Speaker 1: about the issues. This is an education process. We're pushing
- 54:43Speaker 1: a conversation that people don't want to have. Some people say, oh,
- 54:45Speaker 1: pay equity. We gotta get paid the same as men.
- 54:48Speaker 1: Quality pay. If you say pay equity, yeah, but no,
- 54:51Speaker 1: I say pay equity. But but we say quality. But
- 54:54Speaker 1: what we say to them is that that's true. Women
- 54:56Speaker 1: don't get paid the same as men. But let's look
- 54:57Speaker 1: about let's look at how much black women in Hispanic women,
- 55:00Speaker 1: which has been less than white women even reproductive. Right,
- 55:02Speaker 1: So let's say they close down planned parenthood. Right, a
- 55:05Speaker 1: white woman can still find a way to pay and
- 55:07Speaker 1: go get an abortion somewhere in a private clinic. But
- 55:09Speaker 1: low income women, immigrant women, if they don't got a
- 55:12Speaker 1: planned parenthood type situation. They're not going to be able
- 55:14Speaker 1: to get the access to the healthcare that they need.
- 55:15Speaker 1: So we're pushing the conversation. Also, you know, about to
- 55:18Speaker 1: be deported. You ain't really thinking about all that other stuff. Again,
- 55:22Speaker 1: like when it compared to white women and women of color,
- 55:26Speaker 1: there's so many layers to our struggle, right, And there
- 55:28Speaker 1: was something so profound. I work for Harry Balafonte, so
- 55:31Speaker 1: we stand on the shoulders of giants, and he said,
- 55:34Speaker 1: you know, white women live in their privilege where women
- 55:37Speaker 1: of color survive in their struggle. And that was deep
- 55:41Speaker 1: for me because oftentimes, you know, when I'm like in
- 55:44Speaker 1: these spaces, whether it's like planning a march from New
- 55:47Speaker 1: York City to DC or you're trying to build intergenerational relationships,
- 55:52Speaker 1: I go back to him and I'm like, I need
- 55:54Speaker 1: some guidance, and so he breaks it down for me
- 55:57Speaker 1: where I didn't even think about it because sometimes we
- 55:59Speaker 1: could get hot up in our ego. But this this march,
- 56:02Speaker 1: for me, we've prepared for this moment. All of us
- 56:05Speaker 1: have twenty years of experience in movement building, criminal justice,
- 56:09Speaker 1: play patients. Sister, I know yeah, but it's prepared for
- 56:13Speaker 1: this moment to actually lead in this space. And again
- 56:18Speaker 1: like the fact that we also have our alders that
- 56:20Speaker 1: are supporting us in this space. Mister Bellafonte being a
- 56:24Speaker 1: part of the original March on Washington, Cultivating the leadership
- 56:28Speaker 1: of young women to actually lead in this moment is huge.
- 56:31Speaker 1: That is legacy, that is the passing of the baton.
- 56:34Speaker 1: And so we also have other honorary cultures like Gloria
- 56:36Speaker 1: stein Up and the Lord of Sweat. I just came
- 56:38Speaker 1: on board yesterday. But again, you know, this is a
- 56:42Speaker 1: moment that we're trying to ensure that we give people direction.
- 56:46Speaker 1: We have moment. Timmy Kamalory Common, pred and Linda Saucer
- 56:49Speaker 1: are coming up next on the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
- 56:56Speaker 1: He better call the Hey, it was happening in top
- 56:59Speaker 1: of the morning that everybody out there. It's the world
- 57:01Speaker 1: most dangerous morning to show to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne, they
- 57:04Speaker 1: got here. We got Tamika Mallory Karma for Red and
- 57:06Speaker 1: Linda Saucer in the building. There's a big Woman's March
- 57:09Speaker 1: on Washington coming up this Saturday. Now, Yea, I remember
- 57:12Speaker 1: going to the Million Man march and feeling like it
- 57:14Speaker 1: was really powerful. Do you feel like men are supporting? Oh? Yeah,
- 57:17Speaker 1: Actually we have the whole family coming out. I mean
- 57:20Speaker 1: we've been I've been receiving emails every day where it's
- 57:22Speaker 1: like my great grandmother, my grandmother, my husband, my son,
- 57:27Speaker 1: and the newborn baby are all going to the Women's
- 57:29Speaker 1: March on Washington. So yeah, the whole family is a
- 57:33Speaker 1: part of this. And I mean, you know, we have
- 57:35Speaker 1: men who are involved. Our attorneys are both men, just
- 57:38Speaker 1: so happening to a team team Michael, woman. My son
- 57:40Speaker 1: is dealing with security. So we have a lot of
- 57:43Speaker 1: men who are involved in helping us. And we appreciate
- 57:45Speaker 1: you all bringing us on this platform because some of
- 57:47Speaker 1: the information that's out there, as you said, is not
- 57:50Speaker 1: the right information, that's not correct. There's a lot of
- 57:52Speaker 1: missing out of manti Trump. It's not anti Trump, and
- 57:55Speaker 1: we need to get a message across. Now I'm anti Trump,
- 58:02Speaker 1: is it? But to your point, you know, I've been
- 58:04Speaker 1: doing this work for twenty years. I've been separated from
- 58:07Speaker 1: my family, um, since I was young. My family lives
- 58:09Speaker 1: in southern California. I went to UC Santa Cruz Left.
- 58:12Speaker 1: I had a sister killed buried on my birthday. So
- 58:15Speaker 1: my birthday doing this march is huge. It's a distraction,
- 58:18Speaker 1: so I could actually celebrate. But I got a call
- 58:21Speaker 1: from my older brother who's bringing his family and they've
- 58:24Speaker 1: never and it's not a knock on my family, is
- 58:28Speaker 1: you know, they don't really know what you do criminal justice.
- 58:31Speaker 1: You're going into prisons, You're going to All Salvador to
- 58:33Speaker 1: support a peace process between gang members. Like what do
- 58:36Speaker 1: you do? Right? And so when I got the cod
- 58:38Speaker 1: I wasn't able to go home for Christmas or Thanksgiving
- 58:41Speaker 1: because of this march. But he's like, I'm coming to
- 58:44Speaker 1: you and I'm bringing my family, and that to me
- 58:48Speaker 1: is the world. Like the fact my older brother, who
- 58:52Speaker 1: again they don't understand what you do. I don't think
- 58:55Speaker 1: any of our family members they just know we're gone.
- 58:57Speaker 1: We're always gone. We don't got time. But men are
- 59:00Speaker 1: showing up and they've been showing up. And so like
- 59:03Speaker 1: when you see people like my son setting things up
- 59:06Speaker 1: like this for us, it's the support and love that
- 59:08Speaker 1: he has for us. But the fact that you know
- 59:11Speaker 1: a lot of there was a lot of question, is
- 59:13Speaker 1: this also an anti man? Yeah, we shut we shutting
- 59:16Speaker 1: that down. This is this is not like typical traditional
- 59:19Speaker 1: like white feminism like rob burning, like hey man, like
- 59:22Speaker 1: we have men in our lives. Yeah, we got partners,
- 59:25Speaker 1: we got you know, we got sons. Like we're not
- 59:27Speaker 1: allowing this. That's part of Black feminism and Chicano feminism
- 59:30Speaker 1: is that we were struggling with our brothers right, where
- 59:34Speaker 1: in fact, white women had access to white men, their
- 59:38Speaker 1: white husbands, their white fathers, their white children, their white sons,
- 59:42Speaker 1: where we were like, yo, were trying to get the
- 59:44Speaker 1: same boat with you, Like we're still trying to gain
- 59:47Speaker 1: things with you. We got to elevate you because we
- 59:49Speaker 1: know you're gonna pull us up to we have the
- 59:51Speaker 1: men's supporters. But I had five emails and there was
- 59:53Speaker 1: this one brother that wrote up wrote a Huffington Post
- 59:56Speaker 1: piece talk about you got to change the name of
- 59:57Speaker 1: the march from the Women's March on Washington the People's March,
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: you know, white man. And there's other four guys that
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: looked them up on social media because I didn't want
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: a stereotype. But of course they were all white guys too,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: and that was like no, I was like, you gotta
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: be okay with a woman led march, Like if you
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: ain't okay with that, then you're just not invited, Like
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: I'm not changing the name of the march for you,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Like that's just not happening. That's it. I don't understand
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: why people get upset when you embrace your struggle, like
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: you embrace what you are, Like I'm not black. I
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: show up to black you know, to a Black Lives
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Matter protest or I'm in a movement. I'm not like,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: please please make that old Lives matter so I could
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: feel comfortable if you ain't down a Black lives don't
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: come to the table women go to the women Like
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: what's the problem? You gotta be continue at the end
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: of the day, you know we're gonna deal with your
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: issues anyway. Like it's not like we just are going
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: to Washington to talk about issues that relate to somebody
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: who has a vagina. We also are dealing with like
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: my seventeen year old black son his issues when he
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: leaves the house, I'm not sure I do name is
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: seventeen ye old son, and I don't know if he's
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: gonna get shot by a ray or a police officer.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: So I'm dealing with that as well. When I go
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: to Washington, I want to know why there's not more
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: resources going to anti violence groups like Erica Ford at Mitchell,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: those who are working in the belly of the hood.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: And then I also want to know why police officers
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: are not being held accountable for killing black men and
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: young women. I need to understand both issues, and I
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: can hold both those things at the same time. Right
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: there you go. I just like the fact that you
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: know it's a lot of togetherness, like it's you knows,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: y'all three then you say it's a lot of white
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: women involved. Because I always think of the scripture of
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: Phesian six twelve. I really feel like that's where're at
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: right now, our struggles not against flesh and blood, but
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: against the rulers and the authorities and the powers of
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I feel like we're in a real that's Punda. I
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: feel like we're in a real dark place right now.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: We all need to be together, like good need to
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: be a good the riot against evil. And so we
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: also have a co chair another code. There's four of
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: us that are co chairs. UM one is the founder,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Bob Blanche. She's a white woman, and so she's you know,
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: also working with us. We have a national committee, national
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: organizing committee that's made up of all different ethnic backgrounds,
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: and so you know, I just got to give a
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: shout out to my partner, Pooela Mendoza, and I have
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: my executive assistance in Singapore, So like you know, we
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: have people that are just supporting from everywhere to tell
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: the people how they can get involved if they want
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: to get involved. Women's March dot com, Women's March on
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: Washington on Facebook, Women's March on Twitter. You know, our
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: our emails are all our first names, and at Women's
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: March dot com, like we made it easy, Like you
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: got no reason to not know how to be involved
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: in this march. Um. You know, our social media is
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: every day, it's updated, there's posts, we give reading lists,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: were giving you recommended readings. Like we really have been
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: super intentional about how we're organizing and how you can
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: get involved. Again, Women's March dot Com. If you got
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: a bus coming, y'all better register that bus because you
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: ain't gonna have parking when you get to Washington, DC.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: If you don't tell us you got a bus, that's
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: mad important. That's like the drama brother, like, I don't
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: know how you're going to That's like us the and
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: the Border Party Dome to the drama.
