0:31
Speaker 3: Got you a nice little tan.
0:32
Speaker 1: I missed you guys. How you feeling, man? I feel great, man.
0:35
Speaker 1: What was that?
0:36
Speaker 3: I went to Cancun, Mexico.
0:38
Speaker 5: I went to Garza Blanca, which is a five-star resort, all-inclusive, so.
0:43
Speaker 1: Everything is there.
0:43
Speaker 3: We don't need to know how many stars it is.
0:44
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what it is.
0:45
Speaker 6: God damn it.
0:45
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you what it is. But it's a
0:47
Speaker 5: five-star resort in Cancun, and I had an amazing time.
0:50
Speaker 5: This is the first time that I went to a
0:52
Speaker 5: hotel or resort and never left the resort. When I
0:55
Speaker 5: say me and the kids just stayed in that pool
0:58
Speaker 5: and just stayed on the beach and just relaxed and
1:01
Speaker 5: did absolutely positively nothing but ate and drank.
1:04
Speaker 3: Are you scared to roam around Mexico because you're an American?
1:06
Speaker 6: No.
1:06
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
1:07
Speaker 3: We just didn't have to. Everything was there.
1:09
Speaker 5: So, I mean, everything was there from obstacle courses in
1:11
Speaker 5: the beach to jet skiing to that adult side where
1:14
Speaker 5: we could just go and relax and the food was amazing.
1:16
Speaker 1: So you stayed behind the wall?
1:17
Speaker 3: Stayed behind the wall.
1:18
Speaker 6: Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
1:19
Speaker 3: Stayed behind the wall, but had a great time.
1:20
Speaker 1: It was a great reset.
1:21
Speaker 5: I wasn't on my phone, so I have no idea
1:22
Speaker 5: what's going on. I didn't check my phone.
1:24
Speaker 1: No, you didn't miss much. Oh, okay, good.
1:26
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I had a great time. It was just
1:27
Speaker 5: a great reset and just a great time with the family.
1:29
Speaker 5: My kids had an amazing time. All of them got burnt.
1:32
Speaker 5: That sun in Mexico is different. And I know people say,
1:35
Speaker 5: the sun is the same everywhere. But that sun in
1:36
Speaker 5: Mexico burnt everybody.
1:38
Speaker 3: Well, sunscreen is important.
1:40
Speaker 1: We had sunscreen.
1:40
Speaker 5: We were putting sunscreen on every three hours and everybody
1:43
Speaker 5: pretty much got burnt.
1:44
Speaker 1: Should do every two. Maybe that's the reason why. He
1:46
Speaker 1: doesn't do it every two, actually. Maybe that's the reason why.
1:49
Speaker 6: But we did it every three.
1:50
Speaker 5: So, had an amazing time. So, salute to everybody that
1:52
Speaker 5: I ran into out in Mexico. I've seen so many
1:53
Speaker 5: different people out there that was like, get your ass back.
1:55
Speaker 5: But I'm happy to be back as well. Kids start
1:58
Speaker 5: school this week.
1:58
Speaker 1: Imagine being on vacation telling somebody to get their ass
2:01
Speaker 1: back to work. You get back to work.
2:03
Speaker 5: No, because they actually still listen, I guess, on the
2:05
Speaker 5: app or however they listen. So they were still listening
2:07
Speaker 5: every morning on vacation. It was just their routine.
2:10
Speaker 1: No, I get it.
2:10
Speaker 6: They were listening.
2:11
Speaker 1: So salute to everybody that I ran into. But let's

3:36
Speaker 3: From this summer, going to Las Vegas to see Mary J.
3:39
Speaker 6: Blige.
3:39
Speaker 5: I ain't seen Marriott in Vegas, but this was the
3:41
Speaker 5: theme of my whole vacation last weekend.
3:43
Speaker 1: We were just relaxing, just happy, just chilling.
3:46
Speaker 3: This is the theme song of my life right now.
3:48
Speaker 1: Oh, man, I love it.
3:48
Speaker 10: That's right.
3:49
Speaker 5: But let's get in some front page news. First, we
3:52
Speaker 5: want to congratulate Angel Reese. She made WNBA history last
3:54
Speaker 5: night by setting the all-time single season double-double record with
3:58
Speaker 5: her 29th double-double of the year.
4:00
Speaker 1: Hey.
4:01
Speaker 3: Drop one of those balls for Angel Reese.
4:02
Speaker 1: Listen. I know people like to pay attention to what
4:05
Speaker 1: Angel Reese does off the court, but the reason you
4:07
Speaker 1: pay attention to what she does off the court is
4:09
Speaker 1: because of what she does on the court. Angel Reese
4:11
Speaker 1: is a dog on that court.
4:13
Speaker 6: Yes, she is.
4:13
Speaker 5: She recorded 15 points, 11 rebounds last night, and they
4:17
Speaker 5: won 89-81 over the Lynx.
4:18
Speaker 3: And the Lynx is the best team in the league.
4:20
Speaker 6: Yes, they are.
4:21
Speaker 5: And also salute to Odell Beckham Jr. He earns his
4:24
Speaker 5: spot on the Giants 53-man roster.
4:26
Speaker 1: So drop a bomb for him. We got a Tyrese
4:29
Speaker 1: congratulations in there. It's like, congratulations. I'm happy you're on
4:35
Speaker 1: the team, but damn, you got to play for the Giants.
4:37
Speaker 3: The Giants look amazing this year. Better than the bum-ass Cowboys.
4:40
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You're not going to make
4:41
Speaker 1: them better?
4:43
Speaker 6: Yes, he will.
4:43
Speaker 1: The Giants are the Giants.
4:44
Speaker 3: What do you call better when you're a New York Giant?
4:46
Speaker 5: And we'll see the first game. The first game of
4:48
Speaker 5: the season, we'll be playing the bum-ass Cowboys.
4:50
Speaker 1: So we'll see from there. We're going to watch. No,
4:52
Speaker 1: you're not.
4:53
Speaker 6: Okay.
4:53
Speaker 1: Hello, Mimi.
4:54
Speaker 3: We're 2-1 in the preseason.
4:55
Speaker 1: Good morning, everyone.
4:57
Speaker 7: How y'all doing this morning?
4:58
Speaker 1: You just said, wait a minute, Mimi.
4:59
Speaker 4: You just said the Giants look good. So I'm saying
5:01
Speaker 4: my Cowboys look good, too.
5:03
Speaker 1: We're 2-1 in the preseason. What's your Giants record in
5:05
Speaker 1: the preseason? They don't even play the starters in the
5:06
Speaker 1: preseason like that. I don't care.
5:08
Speaker 7: We need the news, Dumb and Dumber.
5:09
Speaker 11: Sorry, Mimi.
5:10
Speaker 7: Come on, Mimi.
5:10
Speaker 1: What's going on?
5:11
Speaker 7: Okay, let me start.
5:12
Speaker 8: We're going to start this morning with two mass shootings
5:15
Speaker 8: making national headlines, one in Trenton, New Jersey, and the
5:18
Speaker 8: other in Chicago.
5:19
Speaker 7: So first to Trenton, where two people are.
5:21
Speaker 8: Dead, yeah, and nine others are hospitalized after gunfire erupted
5:26
Speaker 8: at what neighbors described as a gathering and a cookout.
5:30
Speaker 8: So police say 11 people were shot.
5:31
Speaker 7: Over the weekend.
5:33
Speaker 8: One woman who was there said about 150 people had
5:35
Speaker 8: gathered when the gunfire started. Witnesses say there was an
5:39
Speaker 8: initial round of shots. People thought it was over. And
5:42
Speaker 8: then the shooting started again. Let's listen to one witness.
5:45
Speaker 1: Everybody's having fun.
5:46
Speaker 6: Music is playing.
5:47
Speaker 1: Everybody's having fun.
5:47
Speaker 7: The second later, shots just went off.
5:49
Speaker 11: I just heard two shots first and then about 10
5:52
Speaker 11: more after and then 10 more after.
5:55
Speaker 1: For nothing.
5:56
Speaker 3: I guarantee you it was for absolutely, positively, not a
5:59
Speaker 3: damn thing.
6:00
Speaker 5: Now, they said the police were actually on the scene.
6:03
Speaker 5: They said the police were called to break up, I guess,
6:05
Speaker 5: the party because there was no permit enough like that.
6:07
Speaker 5: So the police were there when the shooting happened, which
6:09
Speaker 5: is crazy.
6:10
Speaker 7: That's right, Envy.
6:11
Speaker 8: The police were there at the scene when the shooting
6:14
Speaker 8: actually went down. Investigators say they were seen placing nearly
6:19
Speaker 8: 40 evidence markers, 40 to 50 evidence markers.
6:23
Speaker 12: At the scene.
6:24
Speaker 8: They do not know at this time how many people
6:26
Speaker 8: opened fire, what led up to the shooting or whether
6:29
Speaker 8: they have. They have not identified any suspects as of yet.
6:33
Speaker 8: And this investigation is ongoing. And in Chicago, one person
6:36
Speaker 8: is dead and at least 14 others are injured after
6:40
Speaker 8: another mass shooting. Police say gunfire erupted during a reunion
6:43
Speaker 8: at the city's Washington Park neighborhood late Saturday night. Officers
6:48
Speaker 8: were already trying to disperse a large crowd when that
6:51
Speaker 8: shooting started.
6:52
Speaker 12: No one there is in custody as well.
6:55
Speaker 8: So very, very mass shooting happening at two different locations
7:01
Speaker 8: this weekend.
7:02
Speaker 3: Something that's never going to change, man.
7:04
Speaker 1: You know, they used to say as American as apple pie.
7:07
Speaker 3: It's like, no, as American as mass shootings.
7:09
Speaker 1: That's what we are.
7:11
Speaker 5: Yeah and it's sad but you know you look at
7:12
Speaker 5: this and you're like when do people say you know
7:14
Speaker 5: what I want to grow up and not do this
7:15
Speaker 5: anymore right and I've been watching the parts of the
7:18
Speaker 5: dirt case and I'm like these are grown ass men
7:20
Speaker 5: talking about shooting and killing I'm like when do we
7:23
Speaker 5: get to that age and be like you know what
7:24
Speaker 5: I want to live a long life yeah I want
7:26
Speaker 5: to raise my kids I want.
7:27
Speaker 1: To you know be 90 you know when do we
7:30
Speaker 1: get to that.
7:31
Speaker 8: Life yeah for sure and we're also following a growing
7:35
Speaker 8: backlash over racist attacks targeting several prominent black women so
7:39
Speaker 8: right wing activists Laura Loomer, she spent the weekend going
7:43
Speaker 8: after Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley,
7:48
Speaker 8: Ilhan Omar, former Congresswoman Cori Bush and Florida state lawmaker
7:53
Speaker 8: Angie Nixon. So Nixon, she's the Democratic nominee for Senate
7:56
Speaker 8: in Florida. If she is to be elected, she would
7:59
Speaker 8: become the first black U.S.
8:01
Speaker 12: Senator out of that state.
8:03
Speaker 8: Loomer, she called the women ghetto and used racist and
8:07
Speaker 8: misogynistic slurs to describe them.
8:10
Speaker 12: And then when Nixon.
8:11
Speaker 8: Pushed back, Loomer doubled down, referring to words like Ebonics.
8:17
Speaker 12: She called her Shaniqua. Congresswoman.
8:21
Speaker 1: She called her a ghetto black communist bitch. Mimi, say
8:25
Speaker 1: it out loud.
8:25
Speaker 7: I was not going to say that.
8:27
Speaker 1: But that is what she said. Shaniqua, I said, all right.
8:30
Speaker 1: Damn it.
8:32
Speaker 6: Yep.
8:32
Speaker 8: She also, since we're going there, she also said that
8:35
Speaker 8: she might need to bark and tug at her leash,
8:38
Speaker 8: you know, to get her attention. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, though,
8:42
Speaker 8: one of the women that Loomer was targeting, she's also
8:45
Speaker 8: responding now this morning.
8:46
Speaker 12: Let's listen to what she had to say.
8:47
Speaker 13: In mortal words of the great Queen Latifah, who you
8:50
Speaker 13: calling a bitch? You know, I wasn't going to enter
8:52
Speaker 13: the chat to respond to an ignorant and desperate woman
8:56
Speaker 13: who yesterday referred to myself and several of my sister congresswomen.
8:59
Speaker 7: As ghetto black bitches.
9:01
Speaker 13: This is also bigger than myself and my other sister congresswomen.
9:05
Speaker 13: This is about a coordinated, unrelenting, and layered campaign against
9:11
Speaker 13: Black people, the Black family, and Black women. We will
9:16
Speaker 13: continue to do what we've always done. We will continue
9:18
Speaker 13: to tell the truth. We will continue to build movements.
9:21
Speaker 13: We will continue to fight.
9:23
Speaker 7: So we can't run no fades? Like, ain't that, you know?
9:26
Speaker 1: You can do all that.
9:27
Speaker 7: We can't, like, request to run a fade?
9:29
Speaker 9: Listen.
9:31
Speaker 12: Listen.
9:32
Speaker 8: Listen, that was a very classy response to what I
9:36
Speaker 8: would consider very unclassy behavior. And former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene,
9:42
Speaker 8: she's also jumping in this conversation condemning Loomer's comments. And
9:45
Speaker 8: she said that these comments are nasty, hateful and racist.
9:48
Speaker 12: And this is exactly.
9:49
Speaker 8: Why she is no longer part of the MAGA Republican
9:52
Speaker 8: Party and wants nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, Loomer
9:55
Speaker 8: says she meant what she said and is free to
9:58
Speaker 8: say what she wants. And I think a lot of
9:59
Speaker 8: this is going to a lot of attention because Loomer is.
10:03
Speaker 8: you know, close to the president. And so a lot
10:05
Speaker 8: of people are like, well, this is who you're surrounding
10:06
Speaker 8: yourself with, who talks like this and acts like this.
10:09
Speaker 12: Is this a reflection of you?
10:11
Speaker 3: Of course it is. Once again, we're asking answers.
10:14
Speaker 1: Of course it is. But, you know, I know who's
10:16
Speaker 1: getting donkey in the day to day. And this deserves
10:19
Speaker 1: at least 15 crack ass crackers at a minimum. At
10:22
Speaker 1: a minimum. At a minimum. Okay.
10:24
Speaker 3: I think I can get 15 crack ass crackers off
10:26
Speaker 3: and donkey a day.
10:27
Speaker 6: Okay.
10:27
Speaker 14: I like it.
10:28
Speaker 1: I like matching energy. It's fun.
10:29
Speaker 6: Of course.
10:34
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I agree with you. All right, y'all.
10:38
Speaker 8: So if AI is the future, 1HBCU is coming in
10:42
Speaker 8: and leading the way. We're going to tell you about
10:44
Speaker 8: a new AI center that is being built at your
10:48
Speaker 8: alma mater, Envy.
10:50
Speaker 12: We'll talk about it in the next hour.
10:51
Speaker 3: You can say it, Hampton University. Act like you scared
10:53
Speaker 3: to say it.
10:54
Speaker 7: I don't know what you're saying.
10:55
Speaker 5: I picked this story for you. Hampton University, the real HU.
11:00
Speaker 6: All right.
11:01
Speaker 8: I don't know about all that, but we're going to
11:02
Speaker 8: talk about Hampton this morning.
11:03
Speaker 12: That's for sure.

11:54
Speaker 9: You sound like I was being a bottom last night.
11:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sound like somebody put helium right up your ass.
12:00
Speaker 7: Or like his collar sped up or something.
12:02
Speaker 3: Or somebody you was with was sucking on helium and
12:04
Speaker 3: then you gave him fellatio.
12:06
Speaker 9: Oh, well, can y'all hear me clearly?
12:07
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah. Yeah, we can hear you.
12:10
Speaker 9: Well, I just wanted to call real quick just to
12:12
Speaker 9: say that. Sorry about our boy Camden Brown.
12:14
Speaker 1: Camden Brown, baby. Signed. He's officially made the team.
12:18
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're also on the team.
12:20
Speaker 1: I also wanted to say.
12:22
Speaker 10: You know, I've been having so many Brothers Club.
12:24
Speaker 9: My Brothers Club family members and my DMs hitting me
12:27
Speaker 9: up saying they hope I'm okay and everything. You know,
12:29
Speaker 9: my pilot about my little sister. I'm perfectly fine. Thank you, everybody,
12:34
Speaker 9: for reaching me from last. I'm going to promise you
12:35
Speaker 9: that did not get underneath my skin. I realized a
12:38
Speaker 9: long time ago I was going to have to build
12:39
Speaker 9: up to me, but I figured around that. From the
12:41
Speaker 9: last dude I punched in the mouth, that's it. So
12:43
Speaker 9: I'm perfectly fine.
12:44
Speaker 8: Good.
12:45
Speaker 10: Thank y'all for reaching out.
12:46
Speaker 1: If y'all don't understand what Travis is saying, he's saying
12:49
Speaker 1: that he's perfectly fine. People have been hitting him up,
12:52
Speaker 1: you know, sending him his condolences because another person who
12:56
Speaker 1: calls into the Breakfast Club a lot, Stacy, left comments
13:00
Speaker 1: on the Travis page saying, F your dead sister.
13:03
Speaker 15: Wow.
13:03
Speaker 1: Go dig your sister. Go dig your dead sister.
13:05
Speaker 17: Blah, blah, blah.
13:05
Speaker 7: I didn't double down. I said what I said.
13:07
Speaker 9: I want to be clear. It wasn't on my page.
13:09
Speaker 16: It was on.
13:10
Speaker 9: And, yes, he was bringing up my little sister multiple times.
13:14
Speaker 9: But also, it's on his page. He went through a
13:16
Speaker 9: lot of trauma in his life. He lost his mother, brother,
13:18
Speaker 9: and father. So, yeah, he's got his own personal stuff
13:21
Speaker 9: he's dealing with.
13:22
Speaker 10: But he's still a dirty word, though.
13:24
Speaker 9: But outside of that, he.
13:25
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry that happened to you, Trav. I'm sorry
13:28
Speaker 1: that happened to you.
13:29
Speaker 3: I don't condone that at all.
13:31
Speaker 1: Not at all, man. Sorry, Trav.
13:33
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:34
Speaker 9: But in North Philly, y'all know y'all heard about the
13:36
Speaker 9: serial killer that got caught? I can't take anymore. I
13:41
Speaker 9: can't take this no more, Trav.
13:43
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, Trav. The serial killer was caught.
13:45
Speaker 3: I can't take anymore.
13:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, they finally caught the serial killer. Out in Philly,
13:48
Speaker 1: they said a girl that was.
13:53
Speaker 1: I guess she passed in 2023. Yeah, they found her ID.
13:57
Speaker 7: He killed her, and they found her. He locked up.

14:56
Speaker 1: up now, 800-585-1051.
14:57
Speaker 3: Not just me, I'm what the coach is feeling.
15:00
Speaker 1: Hello, who's this?
15:01
Speaker 6: What's up?
15:02
Speaker 10: DJ and V Breakfast Club, how you doing?
15:04
Speaker 1: What's going on, brother?
15:04
Speaker 10: Uber Mike, how you doing?
15:05
Speaker 1: Uber Mike, what's up? Long time no hear.
15:07
Speaker 10: Yeah, very long time. Since school about to start, I
15:10
Speaker 10: just wanted to send out a public announcement to the
15:13
Speaker 10: parents Mimi Brown reported on Uber team accounts?
15:17
Speaker 6: Yes.
15:18
Speaker 10: Okay, for the live streaming?
15:20
Speaker 15: Yep.
15:21
Speaker 10: All right. In order for that to take place, the
15:24
Speaker 10: parents have to register their kids under Uber teams, not
15:28
Speaker 10: take out their phones for their personal account. They have
15:30
Speaker 10: to register the kid under the Uber for team accounts.
15:34
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
15:35
Speaker 13: Yes.
15:36
Speaker 10: It's for safety for the kids and insurance coverage. Major difference.
15:41
Speaker 10: If you take out your phone and order for your child,
15:45
Speaker 10: your child is not covered under Uber's insurance. But if
15:48
Speaker 10: you register them under the teen account, they have their
15:51
Speaker 10: teen account, then they're covered under insurance.
15:54
Speaker 3: And what's the youngest age that somebody can call Uber?
15:57
Speaker 1: Is it 13 or is it 16?
15:57
Speaker 8: 13.
15:57
Speaker 6: 13 to 17.
15:57
Speaker 18: Wow.
16:01
Speaker 3: I mean, I know people got to do what they do,
16:02
Speaker 3: but got to do what they do.
16:03
Speaker 5: But I can't see me putting my 13-year-old in an
16:05
Speaker 5: Uber with some strange person driving.
16:07
Speaker 3: My kid around.
16:08
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I can't see.
16:09
Speaker 3: And I know sometimes I guess people got to do
16:10
Speaker 3: what they got to do, but oh, man.
16:12
Speaker 10: But if an accident happens, they're not covered. That's the people,
16:16
Speaker 10: they're people not looking at that. They looking at the ride.
16:18
Speaker 10: But if something happens to your child in that car,
16:21
Speaker 10: Uber's not covering it. If they're under, if they're not
16:23
Speaker 10: under a teen account, they're not covering it.
16:25
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, okay.
16:26
Speaker 3: It's crazy how times have changed.
16:27
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike.
16:28
Speaker 3: 13 years old, you don't want to.
16:29
Speaker 10: All right, that's a good one.
16:30
Speaker 1: You don't want to put your child in an Uber
16:32
Speaker 1: in this era. But, boy, we was outside at 6, 7, running.
16:35
Speaker 4: Around all day.
16:38
Speaker 3: Running through the woods. Like, gone all day.
16:41
Speaker 1: No phones, no nothing.
16:43
Speaker 15: As long as you was back by a certain time.
16:46
Speaker 1: Getting off, getting off. I was one of them latchkey kids, so,
16:48
Speaker 1: you know, you get off. We didn't used to lock
16:50
Speaker 1: the doors. You get off the bus at, like, in
16:52
Speaker 1: third grade, walk to your grandma's house, door open, you
16:55
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
16:55
Speaker 5: Nah, I locked my doors. I don't know about that.
16:57
Speaker 5: I locked my doors, but I would be out all day.
17:00
Speaker 1: Like, you come home for lunch, eat a quick little
17:03
Speaker 1: sandwich and then back out. Yes, they did. Things change.
17:06
Speaker 3: It ain't like that. I wouldn't even let my kids
17:07
Speaker 3: ride downtown. Like, my kids be like, can I ride
17:09
Speaker 3: my bike?
17:10
Speaker 1: Ride your bike where?
17:10
Speaker 8: No.
17:11
Speaker 1: This is crazy.
17:12
Speaker 3: Even with that, though, we say things change. Like, we
17:13
Speaker 3: wasn't getting molested. Like, I wasn't getting molested.
17:15
Speaker 15: Oh, my God.
17:16
Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
17:16
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I'm just saying.
17:17
Speaker 4: Charlotte.
17:17
Speaker 1: It was out there then, too.
17:19
Speaker 14: Yeah, right.
17:19
Speaker 1: It seems worse now. I don't know why. It just
17:21
Speaker 1: seems worse now.
17:22
Speaker 3: That was very dark.
17:23
Speaker 15: I'm sorry.
17:24
Speaker 1: I don't know where to go from there.
17:26
Speaker 7: I'm very sorry.
17:27
Speaker 4: Hello, who's this?

20:35
Speaker 7: Good morning, y'all.
20:36
Speaker 1: What's up, Low?
20:37
Speaker 7: All right, so let's get into the latest.
20:39
Speaker 18: So Dolly Parton, we talked about her passing at age
20:42
Speaker 18: 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Over the weekend,
20:45
Speaker 18: she was actually laid to rest, according to reports from
20:48
Speaker 18: Page Six, in a private ceremony in Nashville that was
20:51
Speaker 18: only attended by her family. Originally, when she had passed away,
20:54
Speaker 18: her family or her team said that they would do
20:57
Speaker 18: a private ceremony. She was actually laid to rest next
21:00
Speaker 18: to her husband, Carl. who, you know, she was married
21:02
Speaker 18: to for 58 years. He died in March of 2025.
21:05
Speaker 18: But they said that there were plans to do something
21:08
Speaker 18: more public for the fans. But we haven't heard any
21:10
Speaker 18: update on that. But there is an update in the
21:13
Speaker 18: conversation about whether or not the Nashville International Airport is
21:17
Speaker 18: going to be named after Dolly Parton, because there is
21:20
Speaker 18: a governor, Tennessee governor, who is now pushing for that
21:23
Speaker 18: to happen.
21:24
Speaker 7: And there are reports that it is going to happen. Now,
21:27
Speaker 7: his name is Governor Bill Lee.
21:28
Speaker 18: And on Friday, he made an announcement saying that his
21:30
Speaker 18: office in the Nashville International Airport do plan to rename
21:33
Speaker 18: the travel hub after Dolly Parton after they received so
21:36
Speaker 18: much love and public support. There was a huge change
21:39
Speaker 18: that work petition with thousands and thousands of signatures of
21:41
Speaker 18: fans that are like she deserved this. I reached out
21:43
Speaker 18: to Nashville International Airport and they sent me like the
21:46
Speaker 18: process of what it takes to actually do.
21:48
Speaker 7: Get the naming to happen.
21:50
Speaker 18: And they say right now they can't give me like
21:51
Speaker 18: an official comment on where they are in the process,
21:54
Speaker 18: but they are in the early stages of this.
21:56
Speaker 7: So this is something that is going to happen.
21:57
Speaker 1: And that conversation actually started when she was alive. I
22:00
Speaker 1: saw a clip of her on. I think she was
22:03
Speaker 1: on with Gayle King, actually. And Gayle King was talking
22:05
Speaker 1: about that. So this isn't a new conversation that started
22:08
Speaker 1: just because she passed. They were already talking about naming
22:10
Speaker 1: the airport after Dolly Parton.
22:12
Speaker 16: Yes.
22:12
Speaker 18: Well, when that happens, we will be here with the
22:14
Speaker 18: update on that. The Nashville International Airport, they're actually really,
22:18
Speaker 18: really excited to honor her, even though they were sad
22:20
Speaker 18: about her passing. But you could tell that there's a
22:22
Speaker 18: lot of love there. They've been more than willing to
22:25
Speaker 18: talk to me, talk me through the things and all that.
22:27
Speaker 18: But they said that they just don't have solid enough
22:29
Speaker 18: information right now when they do announce anything more official
22:32
Speaker 18: they want to make sure they do it.
22:32
Speaker 5: Right so now i'm not comparing you know because i
22:35
Speaker 5: do think that's dope but i also wonder how difficult
22:38
Speaker 5: it is to do that because when when our heroes
22:40
Speaker 5: die why don't we why don't they say the same
22:43
Speaker 5: thing like prince and you know where prince is from
22:45
Speaker 5: in minnesota or michael jackson or whitney houston in newark
22:48
Speaker 5: you know i mean i just wonder why you know
22:50
Speaker 5: it's We don't see that with our celebs.
22:53
Speaker 3: Maybe you should do a public push to do it.
22:55
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about it now when I want to
22:56
Speaker 3: see how Dolly Parton.
22:57
Speaker 1: Because it's a public push for it. When Dolly Parton
22:59
Speaker 1: was alive, there was a public push for it. Now
23:02
Speaker 1: that she's passed, there's more of a public push for it.
23:04
Speaker 5: Usually you see presidents. You see presidents named after, airports
23:07
Speaker 5: named after presidents. So the fact that it's Dolly Parton,
23:09
Speaker 5: it made me not even think about it.
23:10
Speaker 18: But I know with Prince, like I lived in Minneapolis
23:12
Speaker 18: when I flew for Delta. And I mean, you feel
23:15
Speaker 18: it when you're there. They do like days and holidays
23:17
Speaker 18: for him that like aren't even like widely celebrated because
23:20
Speaker 18: people flying for the compound. But they had named like
23:22
Speaker 18: a highway after him at one point that was around
23:24
Speaker 18: the compound. Like they did certain things. It wasn't the
23:26
Speaker 18: airport though. The airport is different.
23:28
Speaker 7: The airport is different.
23:29
Speaker 8: Yeah.
23:30
Speaker 7: You lived in Minneapolis? Yeah, it was my base for Delta.
23:34
Speaker 7: I was there for like three weeks. No shade to many,
23:36
Speaker 7: but it was cold. All right.
23:38
Speaker 18: Now, shifting gears a bit, let's talk about little Dirk
23:41
Speaker 18: a bit because the trial is kicking back up this week. Now,
23:45
Speaker 18: prosecutors said last week that this may be the week
23:47
Speaker 18: that they rest their case. And then Dirk's team will
23:50
Speaker 18: come in and be able to rebuttal some things. And
23:51
Speaker 18: I was told that Dirk's team may need about a
23:53
Speaker 18: week or two. So this could be ending pretty soon.
23:56
Speaker 18: So we've heard testimony from a few OTF members. But
24:00
Speaker 18: there was a video that was recirculating over the weekend
24:03
Speaker 18: that Dirk's team wanted to clear up some things about.
24:05
Speaker 7: So Loon, he's part of Black Effect, correct?
24:08
Speaker 8: Yes.
24:08
Speaker 4: Yes.
24:09
Speaker 3: The big loon is up there.
24:10
Speaker 1: Podcast.
24:10
Speaker 3: Traveling to close by my guy. Speaking of Nashville, Tennessee.
24:14
Speaker 7: Yes.
24:15
Speaker 18: So you guys remember when Young Thug first came home,
24:18
Speaker 18: he did a couple of different interviews. This was one
24:20
Speaker 18: of the interviews he did where he talked about his
24:22
Speaker 18: relationship with Little Dirk because there was that jail call
24:24
Speaker 18: that went viral where it didn't seem like they were
24:27
Speaker 18: good friend wise. Let's take a listen to the original interview.
24:30
Speaker 18: And then I'll tell you guys what Dirk's team is
24:32
Speaker 18: telling me is actually happening when it comes to the
24:35
Speaker 18: people financially supporting Dirk.
24:36
Speaker 7: Let's take a listen.
24:37
Speaker 1: What's up with the white dirt here?
24:38
Speaker 6: White dirt?
24:38
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:39
Speaker 9: I don't know.
24:40
Speaker 7: Let's take a listen to him.
24:41
Speaker 1: To my lawyer, say Brian Steele.
24:44
Speaker 10: I'm covering that little dirt bill, my brother.
24:48
Speaker 1: No, I would not accept your money. We are brothers.
24:50
Speaker 1: That's my brother.
24:51
Speaker 6: I got to.
24:52
Speaker 1: I would not take.
24:53
Speaker 6: Your money, my brother.
24:54
Speaker 1: It's my lawyer, Brian. Right. I'm knowing that, Brian, but
24:57
Speaker 1: I got to. He's talking.
24:58
Speaker 3: He's talking.
24:59
Speaker 21: He's way back then. We done had too many conversations.
25:01
Speaker 21: He's way back then. But just be... internet man talking
25:05
Speaker 21: we moving in real life man y'all talking you know
25:07
Speaker 21: i'm saying that and i know i'm not mad at
25:09
Speaker 21: them because they feel like i said some perpetrating on
25:13
Speaker 21: the phone about smirk i did feel a certain way
25:15
Speaker 21: that my brother i feel like some had transpired Not
25:18
Speaker 21: nothing that ever happened with me and him, but I
25:21
Speaker 21: feel like, you know what I'm saying? He ain't come
25:23
Speaker 21: through one time where he's supposed to. You know what
25:24
Speaker 21: I'm saying? Because I always come through for him, no
25:26
Speaker 21: matter what. But come on, man. I sent my lawyer
25:28
Speaker 21: down there to him.
25:29
Speaker 1: I'm so confused.
25:30
Speaker 3: Translate this for me.
25:30
Speaker 1: I'm so confused. Sometimes I speak good, nigga.
25:32
Speaker 3: Sometimes I don't.
25:33
Speaker 1: It was all over the place.
25:34
Speaker 4: I was lost.
25:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, let me.
25:35
Speaker 18: Okay, so during this time, there was a jail call
25:37
Speaker 18: that leaked from... Remember, all those young thug jail calls
25:40
Speaker 18: were leaking.
25:40
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
25:41
Speaker 7: There was a jail call that leaked on the jail call.
25:43
Speaker 7: We have it.
25:43
Speaker 18: But I think it's better for if I just explain
25:45
Speaker 18: it to you guys on the jail call. Young Thug
25:47
Speaker 18: is talking about the fact that he sent Dirk some
25:49
Speaker 18: music to do and Dirk didn't get back to him
25:52
Speaker 18: in time. So he was basically like, I don't really
25:55
Speaker 18: fool with that.
25:55
Speaker 10: Right.
25:56
Speaker 18: Like I've done a lot for him. I pulled up
25:57
Speaker 18: for him. And I feel like right now when I
25:58
Speaker 18: need him, he not pulling up for me. So people
26:00
Speaker 18: were wondering what their relationship was. So when Young Thug
26:02
Speaker 18: came home and he was being asked about the relationship
26:04
Speaker 18: with Little Dirk and a lot of those calls. He
26:07
Speaker 18: pulled out his phone and was showing a text that
26:08
Speaker 18: he had back and forth with Brian Steele because we
26:10
Speaker 18: know Brian Steele also represented Young Thug. And in the text,
26:13
Speaker 18: Thug is saying that he's going back and forth and
26:15
Speaker 18: he's telling Brian Steele, I need you to represent Lil Durk.
26:18
Speaker 18: I'll fit the bill. And Brian Steele was like, I'm
26:20
Speaker 18: not going to take your money. So the way that
26:21
Speaker 18: it was positioned then was as if Young Thug was
26:23
Speaker 18: the reason that Brian Steele was working now with Lil Durk.
26:27
Speaker 3: But Thug just said he was going to fit the bill, right?
26:29
Speaker 18: Yes, but listen, so that video recirculated over the weekend
26:32
Speaker 18: and Dirk's team reached out to me and they say
26:34
Speaker 18: that Young Thug is not fitting a bill and Drake is.
26:37
Speaker 18: They wanted that to be very clear because they appreciate
26:40
Speaker 18: the support and they didn't want any confusion. Now, there's
26:42
Speaker 18: also a source that is clarifying to me that there
26:45
Speaker 18: are a few other people that are kicking in as well. Drake,
26:48
Speaker 18: Lil Baby, Rod Wave, 21 Savage was beat, reportedly Kanye
26:52
Speaker 18: as well too, but they just wanted things to be
26:55
Speaker 18: clarified because things started picking up again and they didn't
26:58
Speaker 18: I think it's just a thing of like when people
26:59
Speaker 18: are doing something, they want that to be known and
27:01
Speaker 18: they don't want anything out there that is not correct.
27:03
Speaker 7: They wanted to clarify it. So here we are.
27:05
Speaker 3: They didn't want to clarify that Thug wasn't helping.
27:06
Speaker 18: That Thug wasn't helping and that Drake is paying for
27:09
Speaker 18: Brian Steele. And I saw reports, which they wouldn't verify
27:13
Speaker 18: for me or not, that Thug was, not Thug, that
27:15
Speaker 18: Lil Durk was paying anywhere up to $ 100K a day
27:17
Speaker 18: for this all-star attorney team that he has because he
27:20
Speaker 18: has Brian Steele and a few others that are fighting
27:22
Speaker 18: his case.
27:22
Speaker 1: They said he spent over $ 2 million already.
27:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I can imagine. I can imagine.
27:26
Speaker 18: But as we wrap, I do want to say, though,
27:27
Speaker 18: that they are back in court this week. I mentioned
27:29
Speaker 18: the prosecutors. I mentioned Dirk's side of it. So we
27:32
Speaker 18: may know Dirk's fate in the next, like, two weeks.
27:34
Speaker 18: And he is facing a maximum sentence of life in
27:37
Speaker 18: prison without parole if he's convicted in this ongoing trial.
27:40
Speaker 1: And listen, make sure you subscribe to the It's Up
27:42
Speaker 1: There podcast with my guy, Loon, okay? He be having
27:45
Speaker 1: some of the best conversations in our culture. Like, you
27:47
Speaker 1: want some real game about a lot of this stuff,
27:49
Speaker 1: the Dirk trial and everything?
27:50
Speaker 3: Listen to Loon. He speaks fluent, nigga.
27:53
Speaker 1: I do have a question.
27:54
Speaker 5: What does the family say about celebrities actually coming to
27:56
Speaker 5: the trial? Because I've seen Kanye come, and I've seen people.
27:58
Speaker 5: Is that support good, or is it support bad?
28:01
Speaker 4: What do they say?
28:02
Speaker 18: From what I understand— We didn't talk about jurors at all,
28:06
Speaker 18: but from what I can understand, I think support is support.
28:08
Speaker 18: And I was also told that the room that Dirk's
28:11
Speaker 18: trial was happening in is a lot more intimate and
28:13
Speaker 18: a lot more small versus like what we saw in
28:14
Speaker 18: the Diddy trial where there were all these overflow rooms
28:16
Speaker 18: and whatever. So you feel the support. It's a time
28:19
Speaker 18: of need, you know, like it. They support his real
28:22
Speaker 18: friends that happen to also be, not support, but they
28:24
Speaker 18: appreciate his real friends.
28:25
Speaker 7: That happen to also be celebrities.
28:26
Speaker 1: If you're my friend and you support me, I would
28:27
Speaker 1: definitely want you showing up to my trial if my
28:30
Speaker 1: existence is on the line.
28:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's one of those things.
28:33
Speaker 18: Celebrity or not, if you're there and you're supporting, they
28:35
Speaker 18: appreciate it, but they also want things to be accurately
28:37
Speaker 18: told in conversation right now.
28:39
Speaker 7: It's important to them.
28:39
Speaker 3: Either show up with your time or show up with
28:41
Speaker 3: your money. That's what I need right now.
28:42
Speaker 6: That's right.
28:43
Speaker 8: Yeah.
28:43
Speaker 7: Well, that's the latest for the hour.
28:45

Speaker 6: Giants.
30:24
Speaker 1: All right.
30:24
Speaker 17: Good morning, guys.
30:25
Speaker 8: So we start this morning in Arkansas, where a traffic
30:28
Speaker 8: stop is getting national attention after a video shows a
30:31
Speaker 8: state trooper pulling a passenger of an SUV out by
30:35
Speaker 8: his dreadlocks and punching him in the face. And the passenger,
30:39
Speaker 8: his name is Tedrick Washington, Jr. He's a former Division
30:42
Speaker 8: One basketball player. Now, the encounter happened after police say
30:46
Speaker 8: the driver of the SUV was going nearly 120 miles
30:49
Speaker 8: an hour and led troopers on a high speed chase
30:52
Speaker 8: before the vehicle. They forced the vehicle to stop. Now, Washington,
30:56
Speaker 8: he was not the driver. He was sitting in the
30:58
Speaker 8: back seat. Video shows Washington with his hands.
31:02
Speaker 7: Up before trooper.
31:03
Speaker 8: Theodore Henderson uses his baton to break the window. Here's
31:08
Speaker 8: some audio of body camera audio of the traffic stop.
31:12
Speaker 8: But we want to warn you, some of it may
31:14
Speaker 8: be difficult to listen to.
31:16
Speaker 1: Let's listen. Crawl out the car.
31:19
Speaker 9: Crawl out.
31:21
Speaker 1: Crawl out. Crawl out of here. Crawl out. Crawl out.
31:27
Speaker 22: Crawl out.
31:35
Speaker 7: Could we hear it?
31:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just heard it.
31:37
Speaker 7: Okay.
31:40
Speaker 12: Yeah, so that was the encounter.
31:42
Speaker 8: And as all of this was happening, as you heard,
31:44
Speaker 8: the trooper was grabbing him by his dreadlocks, pulling him
31:48
Speaker 8: toward the opening, and as well, all at the same time,
31:50
Speaker 8: punching him in the face.
31:51
Speaker 7: Now, Henderson.
31:53
Speaker 12: This is the trooper.
31:54
Speaker 8: He says that Washington resisted arrest and kind of postured
31:57
Speaker 8: up as if he was going to swing, but the
32:00
Speaker 8: body footage shows otherwise.
32:03
Speaker 12: The trooper also.
32:04
Speaker 8: Confirmed in his report that he did punch Washington a
32:07
Speaker 8: second time. Now, Washington was charged with resisting arrest and obstruction.
32:11
Speaker 8: The driver faces several charges, including death. felony fleeing and
32:16
Speaker 8: a DWI. But Washington is now reportedly going to take
32:20
Speaker 8: legal action. And again, guys, he was not the driver.
32:24
Speaker 8: He was in the backseat.
32:26
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you how do you
32:28
Speaker 1: say that somebody, you know, whatever you said just now,
32:31
Speaker 1: maybe postured up and acted like they were going to
32:33
Speaker 1: swing from the backseat?
32:34
Speaker 6: How do you?
32:35
Speaker 8: His words in his report and exactly a lot of
32:40
Speaker 8: people from what I was reading was trying to understand
32:42
Speaker 8: what that meant, too, because it doesn't make any sense.
32:45
Speaker 8: You can clearly see that he had his hands up,
32:48
Speaker 8: especially after he broke the window with his baton. You know?
32:52
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:52
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't understand watching the video. I've seen
32:53
Speaker 5: the video a couple of times. I don't understand why
32:55
Speaker 5: they didn't open the door to take the gentleman out.
32:57
Speaker 5: Like why he was so trying to pull him through
32:59
Speaker 5: the window. You seen the gentleman trying to unlock the door.
33:03
Speaker 5: Like he even puts his hand outside to try to
33:05
Speaker 5: unlock the door. He was complying. It wasn't like he
33:08
Speaker 5: was fighting back. He gave both his hands. This does this.
33:11
Speaker 5: This is, this is just, it's just disgusting.
33:14
Speaker 1: Like this is nasty.
33:15
Speaker 14: Yeah.
33:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
33:17
Speaker 8: And we just talked about another video out of Arkansas
33:19
Speaker 8: about two weeks ago with an 18-year-old teenager. I don't
33:21
Speaker 8: know if you guys remember that one where she was
33:23
Speaker 8: taken to the ground and punched in the face. And so, yep,
33:27
Speaker 8: a lot of things happening and investigations in Arkansas right
33:30
Speaker 8: now over state troopers.
33:32
Speaker 12: And here's the question.
33:33
Speaker 1: My other thing is you break the window, then you
33:36
Speaker 1: stick my arm out the window that's broken so there's.
33:38
Speaker 5: Glass over all the place. Like, it's just so much.
33:41
Speaker 5: That cop should definitely be fired. That trooper should be fired.
33:45
Speaker 12: No shirt on. You want me to crawl through the
33:47
Speaker 12: window with the broken glass? It was a lot. It
33:49
Speaker 12: was just it was too much.
33:51
Speaker 7: Just be locked up to.
33:55
Speaker 12: Good point, Jess. And here's a question this morning.
33:58
Speaker 8: If your child acts up at school, should the school
34:01
Speaker 8: be allowed to spank them?
34:04
Speaker 12: Because in 15 states. The answer is still yes.
34:07
Speaker 8: So I didn't even know this, but NPR did an
34:09
Speaker 8: investigation where they found that corporal punishment is still legal
34:14
Speaker 8: in 15 states across the country. So if your child
34:19
Speaker 8: gets in trouble as young as pre-K and kindergarten, a
34:22
Speaker 8: school can spank them. The latest federal data shows nearly
34:27
Speaker 8: 32,000 reports reported in just the last year. Almost all
34:32
Speaker 8: of them happened in eight states. And of course, those
34:33
Speaker 8: eight states are in the South. And then they found
34:36
Speaker 8: that there was a racial disparity. Of course, black students
34:38
Speaker 8: make up a smaller amount of the students in these schools,
34:41
Speaker 8: but a larger share of the children being physically punished.
34:45
Speaker 8: So supporters say spanking or paddling gives the kids a
34:49
Speaker 8: way to deal with the bad behavior and then they
34:50
Speaker 8: don't get suspended. But critics say, come on, this is
34:53
Speaker 8: hitting a child at school and it shouldn't happen.
34:56
Speaker 12: So curious about what you guys think.
35:00
Speaker 1: All I do the older I get is realize how
35:02
Speaker 1: much nobody cared about us.
35:03
Speaker 3: Those of us that.
35:04
Speaker 1: Grew up in the 1900s, okay, I would never want
35:07
Speaker 1: my kids getting spanked, but that's all we did was
35:09
Speaker 1: get spankings at school. Okay, I can name every single principal,
35:13
Speaker 1: assistant principal who had authority to put hands on us and.
35:18
Speaker 3: I can tell you some stories.
35:19
Speaker 1: You hear me?
35:20
Speaker 3: Okay. One of these people is dead already, so I
35:23
Speaker 3: don't even want to speak about it.
35:24
Speaker 7: Damn.
35:24
Speaker 1: They wasn't.
35:25
Speaker 3: They was just doing their job.
35:27
Speaker 1: How bad was it? There was one at our school.
35:29
Speaker 1: He had a little nubby hand. One hand was like
35:32
Speaker 1: really nubby. And I think it was his left hand.
35:36
Speaker 1: So you knew he wasn't as strong as the other guy.
35:38
Speaker 1: The other guy was... Big, buff football player. That was
35:42
Speaker 1: the one who really used to hurt. But we used
35:43
Speaker 1: to act like the guy with the nubby hand was
35:45
Speaker 1: the one who really started, please don't send me to him.
35:47
Speaker 1: Please don't send me to him. Because we knew that
35:48
Speaker 1: was the weak one. That's right. That's funny. That's right.
35:52
Speaker 3: That's right.
35:53
Speaker 1: The nubby hand is the one that died? Anybody who
35:54
Speaker 1: grew up. berkeley middle school oh my god jesus christ
35:59
Speaker 1: rest in peace another hand but you know shut up
36:01
Speaker 1: i don't know if he's passed away oh i don't
36:02
Speaker 1: know the big one passed.
36:04
Speaker 5: Away oh my bad sorry but you know because they
36:06
Speaker 5: used to slap with rulers i don't know if y'all
36:08
Speaker 5: got rulers what the.
36:09
Speaker 1: Hell is he talking about no.
36:11
Speaker 5: We had a ruler like they pop in here with
36:15
Speaker 5: a ruler.
36:15
Speaker 1: The big one the big diesel one he had a
36:18
Speaker 1: paddle and he had a couple of holes in it
36:21
Speaker 1: So when he swung it, there wasn't no air cushion
36:25
Speaker 1: or nothing. Just pow, pow. Oh, my God.
36:28
Speaker 7: Man, your bruise is here.
36:29
Speaker 3: So, once again, I just realized nobody cared about us.
36:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't hit my kids. Don't hit my kids.
36:37
Speaker 7: How we feel about it today, no.
36:39
Speaker 1: I don't know. Don't hit my kids.
36:41
Speaker 15: I discipline my kids enough. They just call me, and
36:44
Speaker 15: I come up there and get them right.
36:45
Speaker 7: It's all right. Send them back in the classroom with the.
36:48
Speaker 1: and you don't know what people be going through personally
36:51
Speaker 1: like even in the conversation you had about the Arkansas
36:54
Speaker 1: trooper I don't know what that man is dealing with
36:56
Speaker 1: that he would come to work and project whatever pain
36:58
Speaker 1: and hurt he got on to other people I don't
37:00
Speaker 1: want no principals and no teachers doing that to my
37:02
Speaker 1: kids especially nowadays people going through way too much mentally.
37:05
Speaker 15: Exactly and these principals these teachers and everything not making
37:08
Speaker 15: a lot of money so listen they might take the
37:11
Speaker 15: fact that they broke out on our kids we don't
37:13
Speaker 15: need that they need to be paid more but.
37:16
Speaker 7: They not Yeah, for sure. All right, y'all.
37:20
Speaker 12: Well, that is your front page news.

Speaker 8: Envy, we will save our Hampton story for tomorrow, but
37:24
Speaker 8: I got you.
37:25
Speaker 12: We will move it up so we make sure we
37:27
Speaker 12: get to it.
37:27
Speaker 1: All right.
37:28
Speaker 10: Thank you, Mimi.
37:28
Speaker 1: She didn't want to do that story. She didn't want
37:29
Speaker 1: to do that story at all. Nah, that was the
37:31
Speaker 1: last story.
37:32
Speaker 5: I ain't doing that one. All right, it's all good, Mimi. Now,
37:33
Speaker 5: when we come back, running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, Dr.
37:36
Speaker 5: Abdul El-Saeed. He'll be joining us this morning.
37:39
Speaker 1: A real disruptor. I like a disruptor in any industry.
37:42
Speaker 1: And this man is definitely disrupting politics, especially in the
37:44
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. And we'll talk to him next. It's The
37:46
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.
37:50
Speaker 5: Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got
37:53
Speaker 5: a special guest in the building.
37:54
Speaker 3: Angela Rye is here as well.
37:56
Speaker 1: So if Angela Rye is here, that means that somebody
37:58
Speaker 1: in the political sphere must be in the room. And
38:01
Speaker 1: we have Abdul El-Sayed. I nailed it?
38:04
Speaker 6: Nailed it.
38:05
Speaker 1: You're welcome.
38:05
Speaker 3: She helped me pronounce it.
38:07
Speaker 1: It's one of those things.
38:08
Speaker 2: My parents really did me a favor with that name.
38:09
Speaker 2: They're like, you're destined for politics. Couldn't have been like Pete.
38:14
Speaker 1: He's running for Democratic candidate of U.S. Senate in Michigan.
38:16
Speaker 1: And I like you, Abdul, because you're a disruptor. I
38:20
Speaker 1: like a good disruptor.
38:21
Speaker 19: We need some disruption.
38:22
Speaker 9: 100%.
38:23
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing about our politics right now
38:24
Speaker 2: is everybody looks at it and be like, why is
38:26
Speaker 2: this like this? And people give you the same talking points,
38:29
Speaker 2: and then they tell you, oh, you should deliver with
38:31
Speaker 2: a little bit more charisma.
38:33
Speaker 19: So you got people out here being like, health care.
38:34
Speaker 19: And you're like, what are you going to do about
38:36
Speaker 19: my health care?
38:37
Speaker 3: They're like, health care.
38:38
Speaker 2: Authenticity is not the style of the way You said
38:42
Speaker 2: the word authenticity is about saying the same thing consistently
38:44
Speaker 2: everywhere you go.
38:44
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
38:45
Speaker 2: And being willing to speak to the why of the thing,
38:48
Speaker 2: not just the what of the thing. I'm not supposed
38:50
Speaker 2: to run for office. I'm a doctor by training, rebuild
38:52
Speaker 2: health departments. My name is Abdur Rahman, the whole thing.
38:55
Speaker 2: Abdur Rahman, Muhammad Sayyed.
38:56
Speaker 9: What?
38:57
Speaker 2: Come out of parts of people's throats they don't know
38:58
Speaker 2: they have. I mean, that's the whole thing. I'm not
39:01
Speaker 2: going to ask you to pronounce that.
39:02
Speaker 1: I'll spit all over you.
39:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, he got a lisp. He has a lisp.
39:07
Speaker 2: But that's the thing about it is that at some
39:09
Speaker 2: point you get sick and tired of watching people get
39:12
Speaker 2: into this system that you train to be a part of,
39:16
Speaker 2: not to get the things they need except for to
39:17
Speaker 2: come out with a huge bill. And you start to ask, okay,
39:20
Speaker 2: why is this like this? And why is no one
39:22
Speaker 2: doing anything about it? And at the end of the day,
39:24
Speaker 2: I think we'll probably get here in the conversation, but
39:26
Speaker 2: when you have a public consensus here, meaning the broader
39:29
Speaker 2: public belief one thing, and a political consensus over here,
39:32
Speaker 2: meaning the politicians all believe one thing, and the difference
39:35
Speaker 2: is usually somebody's money. In healthcare, it's big pharma, it's
39:40
Speaker 2: big insurance, it's big med tech, it's big hospitals. In
39:44
Speaker 2: foreign policy, it's the weapons industrial complex, military industrial complex,
39:49
Speaker 2: it's APAC, You can name any particular issue.
39:52
Speaker 19: And so at some point you're just like, well, I know.
39:55
Speaker 2: What my family never had and I have before the
39:59
Speaker 2: accident of history that I get to be born here.
40:01
Speaker 2: Unlike my cousins born in Egypt, we have democracy.
40:04
Speaker 19: That's a precious thing.
40:05
Speaker 2: And if it's not working, we talk about democracy not
40:06
Speaker 2: working because they're stifling freedom of speech and taking away
40:10
Speaker 2: the Voting Rights Act.
40:10
Speaker 19: And that's true.
40:11
Speaker 2: But democracy has been slowly eroding because it's not actually
40:14
Speaker 2: delivering on the thing people want. So at some point
40:16
Speaker 2: you got to be like, let's move this. to see
40:20
Speaker 2: if we can actually get back to that ideal, because
40:21
Speaker 2: democracy is a beautiful thing when it actually works for people.
40:23
Speaker 1: So you're a physician, so being in healthcare and seeing
40:27
Speaker 1: how unfair healthcare is to most people, that would lead
40:30
Speaker 1: you to politics?
40:31
Speaker 19: So look, I went to med school not too far
40:33
Speaker 19: from here in Columbia.
40:34
Speaker 2: And anybody who's been to New York Presbyterian knows that
40:37
Speaker 2: you've got the basement emergency room. That's where they refused
40:43
Speaker 2: to treat Malcolm X when he was shot, right across
40:46
Speaker 2: the street at the Autobahn. And then you've got the
40:48
Speaker 2: 9th floor, the Milstein Pavilion, where you've got internationals who
40:52
Speaker 2: come in, pay full cash for whatever procedure. That's like
40:56
Speaker 2: American inequality right there. And the difference is your ability
40:58
Speaker 2: to pay. And so I had a patient my fourth
41:02
Speaker 2: year who exemplified this. I was doing a rotation a
41:05
Speaker 2: little bit further north. And this was an indigent woman
41:12
Speaker 2: who'd fallen and hit her head.
41:13
Speaker 1: It was February.
41:14
Speaker 19: It was slick. She was inebriated. And You know, she
41:18
Speaker 19: clearly had a welt.
41:19
Speaker 2: Now, if you were to go to the emergency room
41:21
Speaker 2: right now having hit your head with a welt, they'd
41:23
Speaker 2: give you an emergency CT scan.
41:25
Speaker 1: Why?
41:25
Speaker 2: Because they got to rule out that there's no bleed
41:27
Speaker 2: in your brain that could kill you. And when I
41:29
Speaker 2: asked the resident, I was like, all right, so what
41:31
Speaker 2: did the CT show?
41:32
Speaker 19: He's like, oh, we didn't do one. I was like,
41:33
Speaker 19: why not? He's like, oh, she'd be a social admin.
41:36
Speaker 2: Meaning I got to get her back on the street
41:38
Speaker 2: before she starts withdrawing in my emergency room. So I'm
41:40
Speaker 2: just not going to give her the standard of care because,
41:42
Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day, what's the point?
41:44
Speaker 16: Wow.
41:45
Speaker 2: I took care of her for two weeks alongside my
41:47
Speaker 2: attending who was super supportive. And, you know, we had
41:50
Speaker 2: this conversation. It's been a long time because she was
41:52
Speaker 2: the kind of patient I got into medicine to take
41:54
Speaker 2: care of. And then, you know, we had this last conversation.
41:58
Speaker 2: She was supposed to go to the only rehab facility
42:01
Speaker 2: that took patients with HIV. Long story short, we diagnosed
42:04
Speaker 2: her with full-blown AIDS. One of the things that HIV
42:07
Speaker 2: can do is it can infest your adrenal glands. So
42:09
Speaker 2: she had her whole life high blood pressure. Now she
42:11
Speaker 2: has low blood pressure. She had an actively bleeding pelvic mass, diabetic,
42:15
Speaker 2: and her blood sugars were everywhere. Took care of her
42:17
Speaker 2: for two weeks. Found the only rehab facility that would
42:18
Speaker 2: take somebody who was HIV positive. And then found housing
42:24
Speaker 2: for her. So she's entitled to housing because of her
42:26
Speaker 2: HIV status. And we had the whole thing set up.
42:29
Speaker 2: Last day, we were having a conversation about the plan
42:31
Speaker 2: for like the fourth time.
42:32
Speaker 19: She's like, I'm not doing that.
42:33
Speaker 1: I'm going home with my daughter.
42:34
Speaker 19: I was like, man, you didn't tell me you had
42:35
Speaker 19: a daughter. She's like, we didn't ask.
42:35
Speaker 2: I was like, to be fair, I did. You know,
42:38
Speaker 2: you were in a state at the time. And she's like, well,
42:41
Speaker 2: you don't tell me what to do.
42:43
Speaker 1: I said, you're right. I don't.
42:44
Speaker 19: Two weeks later, I'm going downtown from Washington Heights to
42:50
Speaker 19: get a meal.
42:51
Speaker 2: I'm never going to forget with my friend. I step
42:53
Speaker 2: into the subway and she's laid out on the seats.
42:56
Speaker 2: And I go and I check on her. She doesn't
42:58
Speaker 2: remember me. I go and have dinner with my friend.
43:01
Speaker 3: She's okay.
43:02
Speaker 2: But you know, she's, she's out. I go and have
43:05
Speaker 2: dinner with my friend. I go up and I pull
43:07
Speaker 2: my residency application to train. And at that point I
43:09
Speaker 2: was like, look, if we're not serious about the reasons
43:12
Speaker 2: why people end up here, if we're not serious about
43:14
Speaker 2: working on the system to make sure that it guarantees
43:16
Speaker 2: people healthcare, because she knew the script.
43:18
Speaker 1: She understood.
43:19
Speaker 2: She wasn't supposed to be there. By accident, she gets
43:21
Speaker 2: there because people rush her to the emergency room. She
43:23
Speaker 2: understands what this is going to be. She understands exactly
43:25
Speaker 2: all of this. And at the end of the day,
43:28
Speaker 2: she was a patient. Our system's not built to help. Meanwhile,
43:30
Speaker 2: people paying $ 30, 000 for their heart procedure, flying in from wherever, Qatar, right?
43:35
Speaker 2: And our system's more interested in caring for them. They
43:37
Speaker 2: got a pianist on the top floor. I'm like, we
43:40
Speaker 2: can't take care of the most indigent people who need
43:41
Speaker 2: this health care the most. So that's what led me
43:43
Speaker 2: down this path. I built my career in public health,
43:46
Speaker 2: rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health,
43:48
Speaker 2: Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, tens
43:51
Speaker 2: of thousands of them. I took on corporate polluters to
43:54
Speaker 2: take on the asthma crisis. We had every school daycare
43:57
Speaker 2: and Head Start tested for lead in the water, eliminated
43:59
Speaker 2: medical debt, built programs to provide free health insurance. And ultimately,
44:04
Speaker 2: at some point, you're like, look, the best I can
44:06
Speaker 2: do is deal with the funds I've got to manage
44:08
Speaker 2: a department. to handle challenges, but what does it look
44:10
Speaker 2: like to actually reshuffle the priorities? Because at the end
44:13
Speaker 2: of the day, what's a budget but a priority statement?
44:15
Speaker 2: And our budget, what, they want to raise $ 1. 5 trillion
44:17
Speaker 2: of the $ 7 trillion that we have, and they want
44:20
Speaker 2: to tell us we can't afford health care and child care.
44:23
Speaker 23: You started Naturally Where You Should as a physician and
44:26
Speaker 23: epidemiologist in health care. What are the other issues you're
44:29
Speaker 23: hearing about from folks in Michigan that they care most about,
44:33
Speaker 23: regardless of party lines, racial lines, generational lines?
44:38
Speaker 7: What are you hearing from them?
44:39
Speaker 2: There's this statement that's become sort of a watchword on
44:42
Speaker 2: our campaign. Because I started this campaign back in April 2025.
44:45
Speaker 2: It's not even my first time running for office. And
44:49
Speaker 2: no matter where I went, I could be out in
44:52
Speaker 2: the most rural parts of the state or at a
44:55
Speaker 2: church in Detroit or in Grand Rapids. People would tell
44:58
Speaker 2: me it shouldn't be this hard. It shouldn't be this hard.
45:01
Speaker 2: And it would always be followed by something else. It
45:03
Speaker 2: shouldn't be this hard to afford a second bag of groceries.
45:04
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be this hard to pay my rent. It
45:06
Speaker 2: shouldn't be this hard to afford a home. Shouldn't be
45:08
Speaker 2: this hard to pay my car note or my car
45:09
Speaker 2: insurance where our car insurance is insane in Michigan. Shouldn't
45:13
Speaker 2: be as hard to see a doctor. One guy told me, listen,
45:15
Speaker 2: my kid is a generational baseball talent. Shouldn't be as
45:18
Speaker 2: hard to enroll in baseball, right? Back in our day,
45:21
Speaker 2: you could just go and play for the team.
45:22
Speaker 19: Now it's like $ 3, 000 and you got it. It just
45:26
Speaker 19: shouldn't be this hard.
45:27
Speaker 2: And it's always back to this question of, it seems
45:30
Speaker 2: like the system is built to do two things, to
45:33
Speaker 2: figure out how to pull more out of my pocket
45:35
Speaker 2: and to figure out How to pay me less for
45:38
Speaker 2: what I do or automate me or offshore me generally.
45:42
Speaker 19: Shouldn't be this hard.
45:43
Speaker 2: So we're running a campaign to do three things. We
45:44
Speaker 2: want money out of politics, money in your pocket, Medicare
45:47
Speaker 2: for all. And that money out of politics part goes
45:50
Speaker 2: back to where we started. The difference is always somebody's money.
45:53
Speaker 2: And so long as politicians get bought off by the
45:55
Speaker 2: same corporations, we're going to get the same corporate politics.
45:57
Speaker 2: We're going to keep doing dumb stuff with our money
46:00
Speaker 2: instead of doing the smart things with our money, building schools,
46:03
Speaker 2: providing for affordable health care, providing child care. And we
46:07
Speaker 2: keep seeing it over and over again.
46:09
Speaker 1: So you're right.
46:09
Speaker 19: We've got to disrupt it.
46:10
Speaker 1: You know, I love that you as a physician, you
46:13
Speaker 1: diagnosed the Democratic Party brand is bull. What are the
46:17
Speaker 1: symptoms and what's the actual underlying disease that they're suffering from?
46:21
Speaker 2: I'm a Democrat because the other party doesn't believe people
46:23
Speaker 2: like me deserve anything. But I want my party to
46:26
Speaker 2: be better. And if you go back to our history,
46:29
Speaker 2: and Angela.
46:29
Speaker 6: I know I've read your work.
46:30
Speaker 19: You probably back me up on this. In the past,
46:33
Speaker 19: before they destroyed the unions under Reagan, Democrats were funded
46:36
Speaker 19: by unions. Republicans were funded by corporations.
46:38
Speaker 2: They broke the unions by basically stopping them right to work,
46:42
Speaker 2: in effect, allowing everybody to free ride on the bargaining
46:44
Speaker 2: of a union.
46:45
Speaker 19: Unions lost a lot of their membership, lost a lot
46:47
Speaker 19: of their money.
46:48
Speaker 2: So Democrats were like, well, we got to get money too,
46:50
Speaker 2: the easy way. So we'll go to the corporations too.
46:53
Speaker 2: And at some point they started to take money from
46:54
Speaker 2: the same exact corporation. So you had like Republican and
46:56
Speaker 2: Republican light. And you see that in different eras, right?
47:01
Speaker 2: It's like the era of big government is over, right?
47:04
Speaker 2: We all remember that under President Clinton. And so we
47:08
Speaker 2: assented to this like neoliberal approach where everything was about
47:12
Speaker 2: privatizing things out.
47:13
Speaker 1: Now, here's the problem.
47:15
Speaker 2: The Democratic Party, once they started getting funded by corporations
47:19
Speaker 2: they were stuck in a bind they were always the
47:21
Speaker 2: working people's party but at the same time they're funded
47:23
Speaker 2: by the corporation so what do you do you do
47:24
Speaker 2: you do corporate light and now you're going to people
47:26
Speaker 2: and saying well i want to do health care too
47:28
Speaker 2: i want we want health care for you you're like
47:29
Speaker 2: how well we're going to empower uh big corporations to
47:32
Speaker 2: provide it for you and folks are like wait what
47:34
Speaker 2: how is that the solution for a long time the
47:36
Speaker 2: democratic party was the one trying to guarantee you health
47:37
Speaker 2: care and two things happen number one we lost the
47:41
Speaker 2: thread on working people's issues because too often our policy
47:45
Speaker 2: were built around what was good for a corporation who
47:47
Speaker 2: was paying the check. And number two, we lost the
47:49
Speaker 2: ability to speak with any sort of clear enthusiasm. So
47:52
Speaker 2: we talk about a big tent and you saw this,
47:54
Speaker 2: especially in the, in the early 2020s, they, they, they,
47:57
Speaker 2: when you stop talking about material issues around the redistribution
48:01
Speaker 2: of resources to people, you start talking about culture issues.
48:05
Speaker 19: And so you go to every part of the tent outside.
48:07
Speaker 6: I'm Muslim, right?
48:08
Speaker 19: Famously.
48:09
Speaker 2: So, and, You know, you have very well-meaning politicians who
48:13
Speaker 2: come to your iftar during Ramadan.
48:15
Speaker 19: They're like, well, I fasted in solidarity with you. I
48:18
Speaker 19: was like, you think I can't eat? You think I
48:21
Speaker 19: can't afford my food?
48:22
Speaker 2: You're about to have the best dinner you've had in
48:23
Speaker 2: like three weeks, okay? If you want to eat, go eat.
48:25
Speaker 2: But I don't need your solidarity when it's easy and
48:27
Speaker 2: there's delicious food on the back end of it. And
48:28
Speaker 2: you come to me and say assalamu alaikum and make
48:31
Speaker 2: me feel like you're not me.
48:32
Speaker 1: I'm not you.
48:33
Speaker 7: Let's not pretend.
48:34
Speaker 2: I need your solidarity when my community is being trashed
48:37
Speaker 2: and attacked.
48:38
Speaker 19: I need you to speak up then.
48:39
Speaker 2: Or when they're sending our tax dollars to kill literal
48:42
Speaker 2: people's cousins somewhere else, I need your solidarity then. And
48:44
Speaker 2: so what happened is now you're going to different parts
48:46
Speaker 2: of the little tent, right? Trying to pander to everybody
48:49
Speaker 2: instead of bringing everybody to the center of the tent
48:51
Speaker 2: saying you deserve healthcare. You deserve that a party is
48:54
Speaker 2: going to stand up to the corporation to picking your pocket.
48:56
Speaker 2: You deserve to know that every time you buy something,
48:58
Speaker 2: you're not subject to a monopoly that gets to lift
49:00
Speaker 2: prices on you. Or every time you want to form
49:03
Speaker 2: a union to actually advocate for people's fair benefits and
49:07
Speaker 2: fair wages for your work, that they're not going to
49:09
Speaker 2: crush your union.
49:10
Speaker 19: That's what you deserve.
49:11
Speaker 16: It doesn't matter if you're aero black white if you're
49:16
Speaker 16: gay straight trans doesn't matter if your family just got
49:20
Speaker 16: here or your family's been here since the mayflower those
49:22
Speaker 16: are the things you need and when we have that
49:24
Speaker 16: opportunity because we're not bought off by the corporations that's
49:27
Speaker 16: when we start to win and the funny thing about
49:28
Speaker 16: it is you know everybody who kind of knows the ropes.
49:30
Speaker 19: Are like well you can't say that you can't possibly
49:32
Speaker 19: say that.
49:33
Speaker 2: I'm like watch me say it And at the end
49:34
Speaker 2: of the day, every single time you point to me
49:36
Speaker 2: for saying the thing that everybody else is thinking, all
49:39
Speaker 2: you're doing, all you're doing is is showing them the alternative.
49:42
Speaker 6: So keep going.
49:43
Speaker 18: So but why can't you say that when the I
49:46
Speaker 18: feel like what is happening on the Democratic side is
49:49
Speaker 18: the fact that like there isn't things aren't just being
49:52
Speaker 18: said the way they need to be said.
49:53
Speaker 7: Like, why can't you say that? Because they're saying you
49:54
Speaker 7: can't promise it because it's not going to happen.
49:56
Speaker 2: No, they're saying you can't say that because you're going
49:58
Speaker 2: to violate all the donors who are funding all the stuff.
50:01
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really what it is. It's just like, listen,
50:03
Speaker 2: there's a gravy train and you're about to disrupt the
50:04
Speaker 2: gravy train. So you need to stop. And then the
50:07
Speaker 2: other part of it is that we've built these things
50:09
Speaker 2: where we use these terms.
50:10
Speaker 19: Like that's radical.
50:12
Speaker 2: I'm not a socialist, but you would think that I'm
50:15
Speaker 2: the standard bearer simply because I'm willing to say that
50:18
Speaker 2: people deserve guaranteed health care. Like, you know, if you
50:20
Speaker 2: study capitalism, you read Adam Smith, the guy who coined
50:23
Speaker 2: the term. He said there's no markets without morals. He
50:26
Speaker 2: said that the biggest danger to capitalism is not government regulations.
50:31
Speaker 19: It's monopoly. And guess what we're living in?
50:33
Speaker 7: It's monopoly. We live in monopoly.
50:35
Speaker 2: Everything, I mean, just think about it. Every one of
50:36
Speaker 2: us probably has a phone in our pocket, right? Made
50:39
Speaker 2: by one of two manufacturers, probably Apple or Samsung. It's
50:42
Speaker 2: got one of three carriers, right? Let's say instead of
50:45
Speaker 2: calling grandma, you decide you want to get on an
50:46
Speaker 2: airplane to go see grandma. It's made by one of
50:48
Speaker 2: two airplane manufacturers, Boeing or Airbus. And then you're probably
50:51
Speaker 2: flying here in the city. You've got a couple of
50:53
Speaker 2: different hubs, but you're probably flying one of three different airlines, right?
50:56
Speaker 3: R.I.P.
50:56
Speaker 6: Spirit, man.
50:57
Speaker 2: It was like the one affordable option. So all I'm
50:59
Speaker 2: saying is... I'm.
51:02
Speaker 19: Not saying you would get there comfortably. I'm just saying
51:04
Speaker 19: you won't get there.
51:05
Speaker 7: You might.
51:06
Speaker 1: You might get there.
51:07
Speaker 2: I always wondered on a spirit flight, like, if you
51:09
Speaker 2: ever had that turbulence that they tell you about the
51:11
Speaker 2: oxygen mask, if there was like a quarter thing you
51:13
Speaker 2: had to put in for the oxygen to come out,
51:15
Speaker 2: you're like, dang.
51:15
Speaker 1: I'm out of quarters.
51:16
Speaker 7: Oh, maybe $ 25.
51:17
Speaker 1: No, they teach you.
51:18
Speaker 3: How to hold your breath.
51:19
Speaker 1: That was part of it.
51:20
Speaker 3: That was part of it.
51:21
Speaker 23: You know, you brought up when you were kind of
51:23
Speaker 23: responding to this idea about the slimming differences between the
51:27
Speaker 23: Republican and Democratic Party being Muslim.
51:32
Speaker 7: And I think... What's interesting about this era.
51:35
Speaker 23: We're in now, as soon as you won the primary,
51:38
Speaker 23: the attacks on your name, the hyper focus on differences
51:41
Speaker 23: began to rear their heads. And I think what's remarkable
51:45
Speaker 23: about it is with any other religion, without your wife,
51:50
Speaker 23: who is also a doctor, a psychiatrist wearing a wearing hijab.
51:54
Speaker 23: you guys are the quintessential American, the story of the
51:57
Speaker 23: American dream, right? Um, college educated, you know, child of
52:02
Speaker 23: immigrant or an immigrant father, like any other place you
52:06
Speaker 23: would be the quintessential American dream. So talk about, How
52:10
Speaker 23: you're experiencing Islamophobia now, and I'm saying this given my
52:16
Speaker 23: own experience of witnessing this happen to Andre Carson, to
52:19
Speaker 23: Keith Ellison when I worked on the Hill, and now
52:22
Speaker 23: my friend Ilhan Omar. It is going to be an
52:25
Speaker 23: issue that you have to combat, not just in this
52:28
Speaker 23: campaign against Rogers, but also on the Hill. How will
52:31
Speaker 23: you work to combat that to make it easier for
52:33
Speaker 23: kids who are Muslim and have to deal with this
52:36
Speaker 23: even at school?
52:37
Speaker 2: You know, I've been a kid with my name my
52:39
Speaker 2: whole life. And every classroom I walked into, I was
52:43
Speaker 2: probably the only. Maybe there's, by the time I was
52:45
Speaker 2: in high school, there was like one other. And you
52:47
Speaker 2: learn real quick that there is a small minority of
52:51
Speaker 2: people who want to sustain a hierarchy that gives them
52:57
Speaker 2: power at the cost of dividing us. And that high
52:59
Speaker 2: school classroom is a microcosm of America generally. So I
53:03
Speaker 2: learned in the high school class that like, you know,
53:06
Speaker 2: if you let somebody bully you.
53:07
Speaker 19: They're going to bully you for the rest of your life.
53:09
Speaker 19: So I am not out.
53:10
Speaker 2: Here to bully anybody, but I bully bullies. So if
53:12
Speaker 2: there's a bully in the room, I am going to
53:14
Speaker 2: move there and be like, I am going to take
53:17
Speaker 2: you on, show you for who you are, because none
53:20
Speaker 2: of us ought to live like this. But the story
53:22
Speaker 2: of America is the story of a struggle between those
53:27
Speaker 2: who want to bully a few to make America smaller
53:30
Speaker 2: than it is, and those who want to embrace the
53:32
Speaker 2: idea that America is so much bigger. I'll be honest
53:34
Speaker 2: with you, for as many experiences I had being called
53:39
Speaker 2: names or told i was less than i've had so
53:42
Speaker 2: many more experiences of people thinking past my name or
53:46
Speaker 2: using my name or my faith as an opportunity to
53:48
Speaker 2: build a relationship people don't care what you pray for
53:51
Speaker 2: most of the time they care how you like excuse
53:53
Speaker 2: me they don't care how you pray they care.
53:54
Speaker 19: What you pray for right they're.
53:56
Speaker 2: Not caring as much about your name they want to
53:57
Speaker 2: say it right there are a lot more interested like
53:59
Speaker 2: did that person care to remember my name and I
54:02
Speaker 2: think there's an opportunity here to show the bullies.
54:05
Speaker 1: For who they are.
54:06
Speaker 2: They want to make America small. They want to tell
54:08
Speaker 2: you that America is a place for only a certain
54:10
Speaker 2: kind of people who pray a certain way, who have
54:12
Speaker 2: a certain color of skin, who do a certain thing,
54:13
Speaker 2: who look a kind of way, who love a kind
54:15
Speaker 2: of way, versus America being a kind of place where
54:18
Speaker 2: actually all of us can come together around the things
54:20
Speaker 2: that are bigger. And I think, you know, I want
54:22
Speaker 2: to call Michigan to that idea of being able to say,
54:25
Speaker 2: let's prove again. For Barack Hussein, no bottom twice. Let's
54:29
Speaker 2: prove again how big Michigan can be. You don't like
54:32
Speaker 2: what Donald Trump is doing. You don't like the fact
54:33
Speaker 2: that he's more interested in the drapes or the reflecting
54:35
Speaker 2: pool than he is in the war he started, whether
54:37
Speaker 2: it's a trade war with Canada or the actual war
54:38
Speaker 2: with Iran. Let's remind him how much bigger we are
54:42
Speaker 2: than the small vision of what that is.
54:44
Speaker 3: You're running for office. So, of course, they're throwing everything
54:47
Speaker 3: at you.
54:47
Speaker 1: And a bunch of your old positions are coming back, like,
54:49
Speaker 1: you know, comments about defunding the police, comments about the
54:51
Speaker 1: Second Amendment, even criticizing the way America celebrates the Fourth
54:55
Speaker 1: of July.
54:56
Speaker 3: You've essentially said you've changed.
54:58
Speaker 4: Right.
54:59
Speaker 3: I guess so.
55:00
Speaker 19: I mean, look, it's funny because they're coming at me
55:03
Speaker 19: on football. I was the captain of a high school
55:05
Speaker 19: football team.
55:06
Speaker 2: I literally thought I was like, OK, you want you
55:08
Speaker 2: want you want to football? You know, Oklahoma drillers about
55:11
Speaker 2: me and Mike Rogers do an Oklahoma drill right now.
55:12
Speaker 19: I'll show you how much I love football. They're coming
55:14
Speaker 19: at me on fireworks. I'm like, all right. First, if
55:16
Speaker 19: your whole conception of America is that it's fireworks. I'm
55:19
Speaker 19: so sorry. You don't have a complete conception of America.
55:20
Speaker 1: But even then.
55:21
Speaker 17: Right.
55:22
Speaker 1: Like, what is it I said? Well.
55:23
Speaker 2: Every time we do a firework show, it destroys the
55:26
Speaker 2: air quality and people have asthma exacerbations and heart attacks
55:28
Speaker 2: the next day.
55:28
Speaker 1: That's all I was saying. You know what I mean?
55:29
Speaker 2: I'm not saying we shouldn't have fireworks. I'm just saying
55:31
Speaker 2: maybe like there are other ways to show your love
55:35
Speaker 2: on the conversation about policing. Look, I was 16 years old. Um,
55:39
Speaker 2: the first time I had a painful interaction with police,
55:41
Speaker 2: we were out past, uh, midnight.
55:44
Speaker 19: I'm walking.
55:44
Speaker 2: We're having 16 year olds do had a dumb idea
55:47
Speaker 2: to go play basketball. We were like, all right, we're
55:49
Speaker 2: going to play basketball. They have, they have lights. And, um, and,
55:53
Speaker 2: I get tackled by a couple of cops. We had
55:55
Speaker 2: broken a rule about curfew I didn't even know existed.
55:59
Speaker 2: And the first thing they asked me was, what are
56:00
Speaker 2: you doing outside of Mexicantown? I was like, I'm Egyptian.
56:05
Speaker 19: And he's like, don't get smart with me.
56:07
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm telling you, I'm actually ethnically Egyptian.
56:11
Speaker 19: I don't know what to tell you.
56:11
Speaker 2: I live like two miles away. And over time, life
56:16
Speaker 2: gives you some fabric, some nuance, some texture. And we
56:21
Speaker 2: all want the same things when it comes to living
56:24
Speaker 2: in communities. We want to get home safe.
56:26
Speaker 1: That's right.
56:26
Speaker 6: That's it.
56:27
Speaker 19: That's what we all want.
56:28
Speaker 3: And some extra money in our pocket.
56:29
Speaker 1: That part.
56:29
Speaker 10: That's right.
56:30
Speaker 2: But too often we're told that the answer to every
56:33
Speaker 2: problem is someone with a gun. When somebody's having a
56:36
Speaker 2: mental health crisis, right? When somebody's, you know, in a
56:40
Speaker 2: domestic dispute, sometimes.
56:42
Speaker 19: The answer is a person with a gun. But sometimes
56:44
Speaker 19: the answer is a.
56:47
Speaker 2: Behavioral health crisis responder. Sometimes it's to nip a beef
56:51
Speaker 2: in the butt before it actually becomes violent. And the
56:55
Speaker 2: very same people who want to tell you that they're
56:56
Speaker 2: for public safety want to defund all of these things.
56:59
Speaker 2: And then they want to point to a dumb word
57:01
Speaker 2: that we used, right? When we really wanted to have
57:03
Speaker 2: a nuanced conversation about what we actually want. So whether
57:07
Speaker 2: you're law enforcement or you're in the neighborhood, you want
57:11
Speaker 2: to get home safe. So what is it that we
57:13
Speaker 2: should build to be able to enable that to happen?
57:16
Speaker 2: To me, it means we need to be funding things
57:18
Speaker 2: like behavioral health response. It means we need to be
57:20
Speaker 2: defunding or excuse me, funding community violence interventions. It also
57:25
Speaker 2: means that we need to be funding recruitment, retention, and
57:28
Speaker 2: retirement for law enforcement.
57:30
Speaker 4: Why?
57:30
Speaker 2: Because you want law enforcement that looks like a local community.
57:33
Speaker 2: And the problem is a lot of folks growing up
57:35
Speaker 2: in the local community don't see a pathway forward as
57:37
Speaker 2: law enforcement. They're like, there's no job here. And so
57:40
Speaker 2: they don't sign up. And when they don't sign up,
57:42
Speaker 2: you get a bunch of folks from other communities who
57:44
Speaker 2: see themselves as policing against the community rather than policing
57:47
Speaker 2: in the community, keeping people safe. So what's the answer there?
57:50
Speaker 2: You need to be able to recruit in the community.
57:52
Speaker 2: People need to be able to make a good life
57:54
Speaker 2: in their own community. And they need to know that
57:56
Speaker 2: they're gonna have a comfortable retirement.
57:57
Speaker 19: That's funding.
57:59
Speaker 2: I also, when I was in Wayne County, I got
58:00
Speaker 2: to work alongside law enforcement. I ran health in the jail.
58:04
Speaker 2: I had to rebuild a juvenile detention facility that had
58:06
Speaker 2: been deeply, deeply neglected by the state who had shut
58:09
Speaker 2: down all of their long-term stay facilities.
58:12
Speaker 1: And I got to work with folks.
58:13
Speaker 2: And there was an understanding that like, you know, when
58:15
Speaker 2: we use imprecise terms, We're not actually getting the problem
58:20
Speaker 2: we want. We're not actually addressing the problem we want.
58:22
Speaker 2: Here's what happened in Wayne County in the juvenile detention
58:24
Speaker 2: facility as.
58:24
Speaker 19: A perfect example.
58:26
Speaker 2: The state, because of this push against policing, shut down
58:30
Speaker 2: a lot of the long-term states. Now, if you're in
58:31
Speaker 2: the juvenile system, you're not sentenced to time. You're adjudicated
58:34
Speaker 2: to treatment. So now you're not getting treatment because you
58:38
Speaker 2: can't go get your treatment. So you're stuck warehoused in
58:41
Speaker 2: the county juvenile detention facility. So we, during COVID, went
58:45
Speaker 2: from having a holding capacity of 60 kids to 180 kids.
58:50
Speaker 2: And then it was COVID. So everybody was quitting everything.
58:53
Speaker 2: And so folks were like, F this, I'm out. So
58:55
Speaker 2: what did we have to do? I had to go
58:57
Speaker 2: in first things first, raise wages 35%.
59:00
Speaker 17: Why?
59:00
Speaker 2: Because I had to keep people there to keep the
59:01
Speaker 2: kids safe. We had to expand the facility. All because
59:05
Speaker 2: somebody took a three word statement being like, well, we
59:08
Speaker 2: can shut down these facilities. And what happened is now
59:10
Speaker 2: these kids are stuck in a place where they can't
59:13
Speaker 2: be safe. So we've got to get nuanced about things.
59:16
Speaker 2: We've actually got to understand the policy goal we have.
59:19
Speaker 2: And if you start with this question of what would
59:21
Speaker 2: you build if you wanted everybody to be able to
59:23
Speaker 2: get home safe? I think it would look very different
59:25
Speaker 2: than what we have right now, but it would require funding.
59:28
Speaker 2: And so I just, it's life experience that sometimes gives
59:31
Speaker 2: you some nuance about being like, oh, well, we said
59:32
Speaker 2: this thing, people did this thing, and that didn't work.
59:35
Speaker 19: So where do we go from here?
59:37
Speaker 2: And the thing I want folks to know is I'm
59:39
Speaker 2: committed to your safety, whether it's from being attacked by
59:43
Speaker 2: somebody in your neighborhood or being mistreated at the hands
59:46
Speaker 2: of law enforcement or being law enforcement without the tools
59:49
Speaker 2: and the ability to do the job we ask you
59:51
Speaker 2: to do.
59:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know why politicians are so
59:55
Speaker 1: afraid to do exactly what you just said.
59:57
Speaker 3: You're supposed to learn, grow, get new information.
1:00:01
Speaker 1: And if your stance changes on something, you should be
1:00:04
Speaker 1: able to explain that. And you owe it to your
1:00:07
Speaker 1: constituents to be able to explain it. With that said,
1:00:11
Speaker 1: did your politics truly change or did running statewide teach
1:00:14
Speaker 1: you that some of your politics aren't politically viable?
1:00:18
Speaker 19: I think part of it is you're always being asked
1:00:22
Speaker 19: about a clip about yourself. And what I want to do.
1:00:25
Speaker 2: they say in politics when you're explaining you're losing that's
1:00:28
Speaker 2: because most politicians are bad at explaining you know Bill
1:00:30
Speaker 2: Clinton used to say whatever you think about his politics
1:00:33
Speaker 2: and I got issues with some of his political positions
1:00:35
Speaker 2: he was a very talented explainer you know what he
1:00:37
Speaker 2: used to say explanation is eloquent so if you can
1:00:40
Speaker 2: explain something right then you can empower somebody with an
1:00:44
Speaker 2: understanding of how the system works that's that's knowledge is
1:00:47
Speaker 2: power And so what I'm trying to do is get
1:00:50
Speaker 2: to some nuance about these conversations.
1:00:51
Speaker 19: What are we actually after here? What does Medicare for
1:00:54
Speaker 19: all mean? It's a public guarantee of healthcare.
1:00:56
Speaker 2: When we talk about money out of politics, what does
1:00:58
Speaker 2: that actually mean? I want you to be asking that question.
1:00:59
Speaker 2: I want to be having that conversation with you because
1:01:02
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's not working. Most
1:01:03
Speaker 2: of us know it's not working. We just are too
1:01:05
Speaker 2: busy because we're working a second or third job to
1:01:09
Speaker 2: like spend some time understanding why.
1:01:12
Speaker 19: And the politicians will tell you it's because of them.
1:01:14
Speaker 19: It's because of them.
1:01:15
Speaker 1: It's because of that.
1:01:16
Speaker 2: What I want to be like, well, it's actually because
1:01:17
Speaker 2: of a system that has been built to go in
1:01:20
Speaker 2: a particular direction to benefit those people, not you. And
1:01:23
Speaker 2: so long as I'm having that conversation, that's where I
1:01:25
Speaker 2: want to be. Now, a lot of people say, well,
1:01:27
Speaker 2: you can't win doing that. It's too nuanced. People don't
1:01:29
Speaker 2: want to pay attention. You don't understand how politics works
1:01:31
Speaker 2: these days. I'm like, maybe not. But what I'll tell
1:01:34
Speaker 2: you is this. I don't want our politics to continue
1:01:37
Speaker 2: to be a bunch of warring 30 second ads lying
1:01:40
Speaker 2: on one side or other paid for by corporations who
1:01:43
Speaker 2: then turn around and tell you what they need you
1:01:44
Speaker 2: to do Once you've been elected to office, I don't
1:01:46
Speaker 2: want that. And so I'm willing to take a bet
1:01:49
Speaker 2: on this kind of politics because I think this is
1:01:51
Speaker 2: what actually heals the problem.
1:01:52
Speaker 19: Because at the end of the day, it's not enough
1:01:54
Speaker 19: to win a job. It's how you do the job.
1:01:56
Speaker 2: I'm more interested in what people say six years into
1:01:58
Speaker 2: my leadership than I am as like, oh, he won
1:02:00
Speaker 2: a race. I won a race.
1:02:02
Speaker 19: And then, you know, and then what? That's not the point.
1:02:04
Speaker 19: The point is to win a race and then govern well.
1:02:06
Speaker 2: And I think this is about a broader conversation we
1:02:08
Speaker 2: can all have together about who we are, who we
1:02:09
Speaker 2: want to be, which is what democracy.
1:02:10
Speaker 6: Is supposed to be about.
1:02:12
Speaker 3: Tell people how they can support your campaign, man.
1:02:14
Speaker 2: Go to abdulforsenate.com, sign up to volunteer, sign up to
1:02:16
Speaker 2: chip us off five bucks or 10 bucks.
1:02:18
Speaker 19: I don't take corporate money. So those five bucks, 10
1:02:20
Speaker 19: bucks go a really long way. Share these clips. I'm
1:02:23
Speaker 19: sure a bunch of clips are going to go out.
1:02:24
Speaker 1: Share them, right?
1:02:25
Speaker 2: I always say it's like dollars, doors and digital impressions, right?
1:02:28
Speaker 2: And so those things really matter. And then look, you know,
1:02:31
Speaker 2: I think the conversations that we have, everybody's on like
1:02:34
Speaker 2: group chats and those conversations really matter. They shape a
1:02:38
Speaker 2: lot of the infrastructure of what we're talking about. If
1:02:40
Speaker 2: you've heard something today that's valuable, I hope that you'll
1:02:43
Speaker 2: share it in. Because at the end of the day,
1:02:44
Speaker 2: it's the conversation we have that is what makes our
1:02:47
Speaker 2: politics and empowers our leaders to do the things we
1:02:50
Speaker 2: want them to do.
1:02:50
Speaker 19: So I hope that people will have the conversation.
1:02:52
Speaker 2: Politics doesn't have to be boring, doesn't have to be scary,
1:02:55
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be pernicious, doesn't have to be people
1:02:57
Speaker 2: preying on you to make money. I'm trying to get
1:02:59
Speaker 2: to that kind of politics. There are amazing leaders who
1:03:01
Speaker 2: are doing that all over the country. And if we
1:03:03
Speaker 2: decide that that's what we want our politics to be,
1:03:05
Speaker 2: that's what it can be.
1:03:06
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us, brother.
1:03:07
Speaker 19: Hey, thank you so much for having me. It was
1:03:08
Speaker 19: a lovely conversation. I really enjoyed it.

1:03:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's running for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
1:03:34

1:04:04
Speaker 7: to be like you.
1:04:05
Speaker 4: LL Cool B. Talk to me.
1:04:07
Speaker 7: All right, guys.
1:04:08
Speaker 18: So on my podcast, The Latest with Lauren LaRosa, I
1:04:12
Speaker 18: sat down with Donnell Jones and we talked about the verses.
1:04:16
Speaker 7: Yes. So that episode is now live.
1:04:18
Speaker 18: You guys can go listen to the interview in full
1:04:20
Speaker 18: on The Latest with Lauren LaRosa, the podcast brought to
1:04:21
Speaker 18: you by Black Effect and everywhere you listen to your podcast.
1:04:25
Speaker 7: But I wanted to talk about it here. So we
1:04:27
Speaker 7: got into the thing.
1:04:28
Speaker 18: So we talked about, you know, the fact that a
1:04:30
Speaker 18: lot of people had a lot to say about how
1:04:31
Speaker 18: he sounded. Let's take a listen to Donnell Jones talking
1:04:34
Speaker 18: about his voice during the verses. Is there anything that
1:04:37
Speaker 18: you think in preparation for the stage, you not would
1:04:41
Speaker 18: have done different, but like you learned from this versus moment?
1:04:45
Speaker 24: I don't think that I... There's anything I could have
1:04:48
Speaker 24: did differently. I mean, we got to understand the voice
1:04:51
Speaker 24: is a muscle, you know what I'm saying? And you're
1:04:53
Speaker 24: not going to have a great day all the time.
1:04:55
Speaker 24: And again, I don't like making excuses because, I mean,
1:04:58
Speaker 24: it is a big platform and I can't make excuses
1:05:01
Speaker 24: for what happened. I can just say that it wasn't
1:05:03
Speaker 24: one of my better days. And I mean, you know,
1:05:05
Speaker 24: at the end of the day, you know, I let
1:05:06
Speaker 24: the cards fall where they may. People have their opinions.
1:05:09
Speaker 24: This is not me all the time. And so that's
1:05:11
Speaker 24: what I can leave with, you know?
1:05:13
Speaker 1: I mean, respectfully, I've seen Donnell Jones throughout my life.
1:05:17
Speaker 1: you know, live a couple of times, I have never
1:05:20
Speaker 1: heard him sound like he do on them records. He
1:05:22
Speaker 1: don't really be sounding the best live. So it wasn't
1:05:25
Speaker 1: a surprise when I saw that verse.
1:05:27
Speaker 5: I've never heard him sound, I've never heard him live before.
1:05:31
Speaker 5: I always heard the record. So I was very, very shocked,
1:05:33
Speaker 5: very surprised. It didn't sound the same, but like you said,
1:05:35
Speaker 5: his voice is a muscle and you know, sometimes you have,
1:05:38
Speaker 5: good days and sometimes you don't.
1:05:39
Speaker 18: Yeah, I just felt bad because I felt like there
1:05:41
Speaker 18: was a lot of people who discovered, like, who dived
1:05:44
Speaker 18: more into his catalog because of the verses and now
1:05:47
Speaker 18: the conversation around him is that they don't think he
1:05:49
Speaker 18: can sing. Because he said in his interview that, like,
1:05:51
Speaker 18: even his demographic changed. Like, now they saw a spike
1:05:54
Speaker 18: in listeners 35 and younger.
1:05:57
Speaker 7: And I'm like, well, verses.
1:05:58
Speaker 18: Like, you being viral the way you were and all
1:06:00
Speaker 18: the jokes and the memes, like, it made people want
1:06:01
Speaker 18: to go hear you.
1:06:02
Speaker 3: Well, the music is still the music.
1:06:03
Speaker 1: Like, the music is still timeless regardless of how he
1:06:05
Speaker 1: sounds on stage live. You won't be the first person
1:06:07
Speaker 1: that don't sound the same as he does on.
1:06:09
Speaker 3: Stage on his record?
1:06:10
Speaker 18: I just think it's with R & B singers. Like
1:06:13
Speaker 18: when I see Tyrese live, I feel it.
1:06:16
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:06:16
Speaker 18: Like you expect a certain thing. Now we did talk
1:06:19
Speaker 18: a bit about 50 Cent coming out of the verses
1:06:21
Speaker 18: and how he feels like.
1:06:22
Speaker 7: It was almost like not fair. Let's take a listen.
1:06:25
Speaker 24: To be honest with you, I thought we was going
1:06:27
Speaker 24: to do the coin toss on stage. But when I
1:06:28
Speaker 24: got the sound check, they was like, well, we decided
1:06:31
Speaker 24: that you're going to go first. They knew that he
1:06:33
Speaker 24: was going to have the 50 cent moment. So they
1:06:34
Speaker 24: was like, well, we got to let that go last. Because,
1:06:36
Speaker 24: I mean, like, that's probably going to make more sense. So,
1:06:39
Speaker 24: I mean, I get it why they wanted me to
1:06:40
Speaker 24: go first. But I didn't know 50 was going to
1:06:42
Speaker 24: be there until he actually popped out on stage.
1:06:44
Speaker 7: You didn't know 50 was even going to be there.
1:06:47
Speaker 1: I'll be honest.
1:06:47
Speaker 6: I didn't think he was going to do it.
1:06:48
Speaker 24: Cause I'm like 50, like if I don't own part
1:06:51
Speaker 24: of this, I ain't doing it.
1:06:52
Speaker 6: It was so dope.
1:06:53
Speaker 1: It was so dope.
1:06:53
Speaker 6: That moment was really good.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: And, and, uh, it felt good. I felt, I felt
1:06:56
Speaker 1: like it was kind of dirty. You know what I'm saying?
1:06:58
Speaker 6: How they, how they, how they did that.
1:06:59
Speaker 1: But it was cool though. I kind of expected it,
1:07:01
Speaker 1: but I didn't think he was going to be there.
1:07:03
Speaker 3: It didn't matter who came out on that stage with Joe.
1:07:06
Speaker 1: It was Joe on that stage. I don't know why
1:07:09
Speaker 1: y'all sleeping on Joe. I didn't think it was a
1:07:12
Speaker 1: good matchup when I first heard it.
1:07:14
Speaker 7: I talked to him about that, too. You guys can
1:07:16
Speaker 7: hear it in the full interview.
1:07:16
Speaker 18: He says that he thinks the matchup was great. The
1:07:19
Speaker 18: only other person he saw people pointing to that should
1:07:21
Speaker 18: have been in it was maybe Avant, but he was like,
1:07:23
Speaker 18: I haven't seen Avant out here moving, so I don't know.
1:07:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, he said that a lot of people were telling
1:07:27
Speaker 7: him it should have been Avant, but.
1:07:28
Speaker 3: I think Ginuwine. Joe versus Ginuwine.
1:07:30
Speaker 15: Either way, it could have been Joe and Ginuwine or
1:07:32
Speaker 15: Joe and Avant. Like, because where is Avant?
1:07:34
Speaker 7: Oh, no, Donnell was putting himself against Avant.
1:07:36
Speaker 1: Oh, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I would have did Avant.
1:07:39
Speaker 8: Avant.
1:07:39
Speaker 5: I love Avant, but I don't know if Avant has
1:07:40
Speaker 5: the commercial success that Joe has had.
1:07:43
Speaker 3: Never stop playing. Joe can put on My Name is Joe.
1:07:46
Speaker 4: I get it.
1:07:46
Speaker 1: Just that album.
1:07:47
Speaker 7: Don't skip.
1:07:47
Speaker 3: No, I feel you.
1:07:48
Speaker 1: I get it. Joe is a different artist. Avant is
1:07:50
Speaker 1: the one to, yo, yeah.
1:07:51
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:07:52
Speaker 1: Well, we're... Donnell.
1:07:53
Speaker 18: Well, that is the latest with Lauren LaRosa podcast. You
1:07:56
Speaker 18: guys can go hear that interview in full there. And
1:07:58
Speaker 18: as we wrap, I know I mentioned that I was
1:07:59
Speaker 18: going to give you guys an update on, speaking of music,
1:08:03
Speaker 18: on Jermaine Dupri and this lawsuit. So back in July,
1:08:05
Speaker 18: you guys remember we talked about it. He filed an
1:08:07
Speaker 18: $ 18 million lawsuit against Sony Music. And he said that
1:08:10
Speaker 18: Sony was holding royalties for work that he did with
1:08:12
Speaker 18: artists like Mariah Carey, Usher, Xscape, Criss Cross, Da Brat.
1:08:16
Speaker 18: They were under-reporting royalties and withholding things illegally, so he
1:08:20
Speaker 18: filed this lawsuit. Well, Friday, his attorneys dismissed the lawsuit.
1:08:26
Speaker 18: We don't know exactly what prompted the dismissal, but all
1:08:29
Speaker 18: we know is that they.
1:08:29
Speaker 7: Resolved the matter.
1:08:31
Speaker 18: And the way that it was dismissed, there's a catch
1:08:34
Speaker 18: to it because it's without prejudice, so... If Jermaine Dupri
1:08:37
Speaker 18: theoretically wanted to go back and refile this lawsuit at
1:08:39
Speaker 18: some point in the future, he could. But it seems
1:08:41
Speaker 18: like Sony made right what they needed to make right
1:08:42
Speaker 18: because he wanted to see all the accounting.
1:08:45
Speaker 1: How much was this one for?
1:08:46
Speaker 7: $ 18 million.
1:08:47
Speaker 18: Because he said with Criss Cross alone, he made over
1:08:50
Speaker 18: $ 2 million. But then he's adding Usher, The Brat, some
1:08:54
Speaker 18: of his biggest acts.
1:08:55
Speaker 1: $ 18 million seems low for all the stuff that JD
1:08:58
Speaker 1: has done. Honestly, but I don't know the numbers. in
1:09:00
Speaker 1: order to what he got paid already, but it seems
1:09:02
Speaker 1: kind of low for what JD.
1:09:04
Speaker 3: He probably already got paid already, but you know, you're
1:09:06
Speaker 3: still leaving some money on the table.
1:09:07
Speaker 6: Right.
1:09:07
Speaker 15: Yeah.
1:09:08
Speaker 11: Well, yeah.
1:09:08
Speaker 18: So there's the update there. And that's the latest. And
1:09:11
Speaker 18: in the next latest, we'll be back. Speaking of music again, T-Boz,
1:09:14
Speaker 18: over the weekend, TLC was performing and T-Boz did not
1:09:17
Speaker 18: take the stage, but we have a health update.
1:09:18
Speaker 7: She is doing well.
1:09:19
Speaker 3: That's weird.
1:09:19
Speaker 1: Just chilling?
1:09:22
Speaker 18: Chili carried the show because there was a, you know,
1:09:25
Speaker 18: T-Boz had sickle cell.
1:09:27
Speaker 16: Correct.
1:09:27
Speaker 18: She had a flare-up and couldn't take the stage, and
1:09:29
Speaker 18: Chili still wanted to show up for their fans.
1:09:31
Speaker 7: It was his last minute? It was his last minute. Remember,
1:09:33
Speaker 7: they're on that big tour. They're on a tour with Emile.
1:09:35
Speaker 7: We'll talk about it when we come back.
1:09:36
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get back to it.
1:09:37
Speaker 3: Who are you giving that donkey?
1:09:39
Speaker 1: You got anything else? You good?
1:09:41
Speaker 3: That's it.
1:09:42
Speaker 1: Who are you giving your donkey to? We need Laura
1:09:44
Speaker 1: Luman to come to the front of the congregation. We'd
1:09:45
Speaker 1: like to have a word with her. She went low
1:09:47
Speaker 1: this weekend, so let's meet her in hell. I got
1:09:49
Speaker 1: an elevator.
1:09:50
Speaker 3: Jesus.
1:09:51
Speaker 1: We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
1:09:54
Speaker 1: This is America.
1:09:57
Speaker 21: There is no question that there are problems in this
1:10:00
Speaker 21: country between police and community.
1:10:02
Speaker 16: Yes.
1:10:04
Speaker 1: You are a donkey.
1:10:06
Speaker 10: The latest on that police killing of a black man.
1:10:08
Speaker 13: Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.
1:10:11
Speaker 10: And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this.
1:10:13
Speaker 6: Is what he did.
1:10:13
Speaker 7: And so we are in a state of emergency.
1:10:17
Speaker 1: Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the
1:10:20
Speaker 1: number one threat to our society.
1:10:22
Speaker 6: But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
1:10:26
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club, bitches.
1:10:27
Speaker 20: All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your
1:10:30
Speaker 20: donkey of the day?
1:10:32
Speaker 1: Well, donkey of the day for Monday, August 31st goes
1:10:34
Speaker 1: to Laura Elizabeth Loomer.
1:10:36
Speaker 3: She is 33 years old, and Wikipedia.
1:10:38
Speaker 1: Describes her as a far-right activist, conspiracy theorist, and Internet personality.
1:10:42
Speaker 1: She's also some type of advisor for Donald Trump, probably
1:10:44
Speaker 1: part of his harem, personal fluffer, make sure his baby grow...
1:10:48
Speaker 1: She probably makes sure his baby gravy levels are very low. OK,
1:10:51
Speaker 1: they got to be kept at a minimum. And she
1:10:52
Speaker 1: is currently in the news because she called the Florida
1:10:55
Speaker 1: Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon a ghetto black communist bitch.
1:11:00
Speaker 3: Let's listen.
1:11:02
Speaker 22: Stereotypes exist for a reason, y'all. If you are offended
1:11:06
Speaker 22: by stereotypes, then maybe, maybe just maybe you need to
1:11:09
Speaker 22: start policing your own community, right? If I don't want
1:11:12
Speaker 22: people thinking that all Jews are a bunch of globalists,
1:11:15
Speaker 22: maybe I should be calling out the progressive Jews who
1:11:19
Speaker 22: are funding radical left causes or supporting.
1:11:22
Speaker 17: Radical open borders policies, right?
1:11:24
Speaker 1: That's what I do.
1:11:25
Speaker 7: I self-police.
1:11:26
Speaker 22: I self-police the Jewish community. It's time for other Black
1:11:29
Speaker 22: people to start policing the Black community. Otherwise, I mean,
1:11:33
Speaker 22: what are you expecting people to think when they see
1:11:35
Speaker 22: people out here like this representing your community? What type
1:11:38
Speaker 22: of hate do you think that Black conservatives are going
1:11:41
Speaker 22: to get when more Black people are not calling out
1:11:45
Speaker 22: The hatred inflicted upon black conservatives by get a black
1:11:50
Speaker 22: bitches like Angie Nixon, calling them uncle Tom's or, you know, demonizing,
1:11:55
Speaker 22: demonizing people like Byron Donald's or, you know, Tim Scott.
1:11:59
Speaker 22: And look, you can criticize Tim Scott for a lot.
1:12:02
Speaker 22: I think it's reprehensible that people call him an Uncle Tom,
1:12:05
Speaker 22: people like Wesley Moore.
1:12:07
Speaker 7: A lot of times when.
1:12:08
Speaker 22: You see these derogatory racial attacks on Black conservatives, they
1:12:12
Speaker 22: don't really push back on these derogatory attacks.
1:12:14
Speaker 7: They're not coming from white people.
1:12:16
Speaker 22: They're coming from ghetto Black people, like other Black people
1:12:19
Speaker 22: who are trying to attack them from getting off the
1:12:22
Speaker 22: plantation and having a conservative opinion of their own.
1:12:26
Speaker 1: You know, she also had smoke for U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar,
1:12:30
Speaker 1: Ayanna Pressley, former U.S. Representative Cori Bush and Supreme Court
1:12:34
Speaker 1: Justice Katonji Brown Jackson.
1:12:35
Speaker 3: I thought that was supposed to be in that clip,
1:12:37
Speaker 3: but she called all of them ghetto black bitches.
1:12:40
Speaker 1: By the way, has anyone asked Michelle Obama how she
1:12:42
Speaker 1: feels about going high nowadays? OK, salute to Michelle and
1:12:46
Speaker 1: her brother Craig on the success of the In My
1:12:48
Speaker 1: Opinion podcast.
1:12:49
Speaker 3: Drop on the clues box for the In My Opinion podcast.
1:12:52
Speaker 3: If you all have addressed this already, my fault. I
1:12:54
Speaker 3: would love to hear it.
1:12:55
Speaker 1: But if you haven't, how does First Lady Michelle Obama
1:12:58
Speaker 1: feel about going high when they go so low in 2026?
1:13:01
Speaker 1: Because I don't think Michelle thought they would ever go
1:13:03
Speaker 1: this low. OK, I mean, she didn't mention Michelle, but
1:13:06
Speaker 1: if she feels that way about the sisters I just named,
1:13:09
Speaker 1: I know she feels the same way about Michelle. So,
1:13:11
Speaker 1: Miss Obama, in this era, do we still go high
1:13:14
Speaker 1: when they go low? Because I like to go to
1:13:16
Speaker 1: hell and look a white devil like Laura Luma in
1:13:18
Speaker 1: her eyes. OK, but let me not get sidetracked. OK,
1:13:21
Speaker 1: it's not the ghetto black bitches rhetoric that interests me.
1:13:23
Speaker 1: It's how Laura responded when people started calling her racist.
1:13:27
Speaker 1: She said some people call it racism. I call it
1:13:31
Speaker 1: pattern recognition. Let's listen again.
1:13:33
Speaker 22: If people in the black community, especially these black progressives,
1:13:37
Speaker 22: think that everything is racist and that white politicians are
1:13:41
Speaker 22: so racist and that society is out.
1:13:42
Speaker 7: To get them.
1:13:43
Speaker 22: And that we don't like their behavior, then they should
1:13:46
Speaker 22: start policing their own behavior. But they're never going to
1:13:48
Speaker 22: police their behavior because this is who they are. This
1:13:51
Speaker 22: is who Angie Nixon is. This is who Fannie Willis is.
1:13:55
Speaker 22: This is who Jasmine Crockett is. This is who Ayanna
1:13:58
Speaker 22: Pressley is. This is who Cori Bush is. This is
1:14:00
Speaker 22: who Candace Owens is. This is who Ilhan Omar is.
1:14:03
Speaker 22: Are you starting to see a pattern here? Do you
1:14:06
Speaker 22: see what the pattern is? Because I'm starting to see
1:14:09
Speaker 22: a pattern. It's called pattern recognition. Some people call it racism.
1:14:13
Speaker 22: I call it pattern recognition. And guess what? Pattern recognition
1:14:17
Speaker 22: and profiling.
1:14:18
Speaker 17: Keeps you safe.
1:14:20
Speaker 7: It does.
1:14:20
Speaker 1: It really does.
1:14:21
Speaker 7: It keeps you safe, you guys. Keeps you safe.
1:14:24
Speaker 22: Just be sure tomorrow when they attack me and they
1:14:26
Speaker 22: call me a racist, go out there with your shirts
1:14:28
Speaker 22: and make sure y'all let everybody know Laura Loomer didn't
1:14:32
Speaker 22: do nothing wrong.
1:14:33
Speaker 1: Now you got my attention, Laura, okay? What the hell
1:14:36
Speaker 1: do you think racism is? Racism has been calling itself
1:14:39
Speaker 1: pattern recognition since racism was invented, okay? That's the whole
1:14:43
Speaker 1: psychology of stereotyping, okay? I always say it's not a
1:14:46
Speaker 1: stereotype if it's true. That's why I feel so comfortable
1:14:49
Speaker 1: calling you a crack-ass cracker.
1:14:50
Speaker 10: Wow.
1:14:50
Speaker 1: Because that's what I call racist white people. I'm very specific, okay,
1:14:55
Speaker 1: based on patterns. I don't cast a wide net like
1:14:57
Speaker 1: you did, okay? You think you can see three people
1:15:00
Speaker 1: from a group behave a certain way, and suddenly you've cracked.
1:15:03
Speaker 3: The genetic code on 40 million people.
1:15:06
Speaker 1: Okay?
1:15:06
Speaker 3: That's not pattern recognition.
1:15:07
Speaker 1: Okay? That's prejudice with a PowerPoint presentation. And this is
1:15:11
Speaker 1: something all of us should think about because... Us human beings,
1:15:14
Speaker 1: we do this a lot, okay? We experience something enough
1:15:17
Speaker 1: times that eventually we stop seeing individuals and start seeing categories, okay?
1:15:21
Speaker 1: I had a bad experience with this kind of person,
1:15:23
Speaker 1: then another one, then another one, and eventually your brain says, see,
1:15:27
Speaker 1: I knew how they were. No, you know how those
1:15:30
Speaker 1: people were. And there's a massive difference, okay? Because the
1:15:33
Speaker 1: moment you stop judging individuals based on their individual behavior
1:15:37
Speaker 1: and start using them as evidence for what you believe
1:15:39
Speaker 1: about an entire race or gender or religion or neighborhood, whatever,
1:15:43
Speaker 1: Then guess what? You've graduated from observation to prejudice. Listen,
1:15:47
Speaker 1: I can understand you disagreeing with Angie Nixon politically. OK,
1:15:51
Speaker 1: she supports Medicare for all. You probably don't. Universal child care.
1:15:54
Speaker 1: You probably don't. A twenty five dollar minimum wage. She's
1:15:57
Speaker 1: been affiliated with, you know, Democratic Socialists of America. I
1:16:00
Speaker 1: know you don't rock with them. Laura, argue about that. OK,
1:16:03
Speaker 1: if you think her policies are terrible, explain why they're terrible.
1:16:06
Speaker 1: If you think she's too progressive for Florida, make the case.
1:16:09
Speaker 1: If you think she's a communist, explain the ideology. But
1:16:12
Speaker 1: what does ghetto black bitch add to the political argument? OK,
1:16:16
Speaker 1: what does mocking Ebonics add? What does comparing black women
1:16:19
Speaker 1: to animals add? What am I supposed to think when
1:16:22
Speaker 1: I see you, Laura Luma, calling black women a ghetto
1:16:25
Speaker 1: black bitch? I have to call you a racist ass
1:16:27
Speaker 1: crack ass cracker because that's what I see when you
1:16:30
Speaker 1: do that. Because you aren't criticizing Angie Nixon's politics anymore.
1:16:34
Speaker 1: You're criticizing her blackness.
1:16:36
Speaker 10: Cool.
1:16:36
Speaker 1: But that gives me the opportunity to look at your
1:16:38
Speaker 1: patterns and criticize your blatant racism. OK, you took a
1:16:42
Speaker 1: disagreement with an individual's politics and turned it into an
1:16:45
Speaker 1: indictment of an entire group. Why? Because you're a racist
1:16:49
Speaker 1: who doesn't like the group. OK, I want you to
1:16:51
Speaker 1: think about your own phrase, Laura. Pattern recognition. OK, if
1:16:56
Speaker 1: you're looking for patterns, ma'am. Eventually, you have to recognize
1:16:59
Speaker 1: the patterns in yourself. If every time you encounter a
1:17:02
Speaker 1: certain type of black person, you reach for the same
1:17:04
Speaker 1: racial language. That's a pattern. OK, Angie Nixon isn't revealing
1:17:08
Speaker 1: something about black people.
1:17:10
Speaker 14: All right.
1:17:10
Speaker 1: Angie Nixon is revealing something about you, Laura. OK, something
1:17:14
Speaker 1: that we already knew. And that's the problem with observing
1:17:16
Speaker 1: things and others. We never consider that maybe we are
1:17:19
Speaker 1: looking in a mirror. OK, we're always studying everybody else's
1:17:23
Speaker 1: behavior while conveniently excluding ourselves from the data. OK, you
1:17:28
Speaker 1: want to recognize patterns, recognize your own.
1:17:31
Speaker 15: All right.
1:17:31
Speaker 1: Because saying some people call it racism, I call it
1:17:34
Speaker 1: pattern recognition. That isn't the defense you think it is. OK,
1:17:37
Speaker 1: that's like somebody saying some people call it alcoholism. I
1:17:40
Speaker 1: call it recognizing that every situation gets better after six shots. Um, hello.
1:17:45
Speaker 1: You just described the white devil damn problem. OK, and
1:17:49
Speaker 1: prejudice has always worked this way.
1:17:51
Speaker 6: All right.
1:17:52
Speaker 1: Very few prejudiced people believe their prejudice. That's why stereotypes
1:17:56
Speaker 1: are so seductive. OK, they allow us to stop doing
1:17:59
Speaker 1: the difficult work of evaluating human beings one way.
1:18:03
Speaker 6: At a time.
1:18:04
Speaker 3: And I don't care whether you're liberal, conservative, okay, black, white, whatever.
1:18:08
Speaker 1: The minute your political argument requires an entire race of
1:18:12
Speaker 1: people to stand trial because you don't like one person,
1:18:15
Speaker 1: you stopped making a political argument and you're just being racist.
1:18:18
Speaker 1: So Laura Loma, you say some people call it racism.
1:18:21
Speaker 1: You call it pattern recognition. I say racism has always
1:18:25
Speaker 1: considered itself pattern recognition.
1:18:27
Speaker 3: That's how prejudice survives.
1:18:29
Speaker 1: And once again, Angie Nixon, you know, She stopped being
1:18:34
Speaker 1: Angie Nixon and became evidence for whatever you believe about
1:18:38
Speaker 1: black people collectively. Let me say that again. Angie Nixon
1:18:41
Speaker 1: stopped being Angie Nixon to you and became evidence for
1:18:45
Speaker 1: whatever you believe about black people collectively. You weren't analyzed.
1:18:50
Speaker 1: politics anymore. You were rationalizing your prejudice. Please let Chelsea
1:18:55
Speaker 1: Handler give Laura Luma the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.
1:18:59
Speaker 7: That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.
1:19:02
Speaker 1: Can Kathy Griffin get in on that too, please?
1:19:03
Speaker 3: Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw.
1:19:10
Speaker 1: Oh, I ain't know my guy Chris Rock was here too.
1:19:12
Speaker 10: Cracker ass cracker.
1:19:13
Speaker 3: Yo, do my girls still work at the drive-thru?
1:19:16
Speaker 12: Cracker.
1:19:18
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Just making sure. That's all. You got about
1:19:23
Speaker 1: two more crackers to do. You said you wanted to
1:19:25
Speaker 1: meet Cracker Quota. Hit Chris Rock again.
1:19:29
Speaker 3: Hit Chris Rock again.
1:19:32
Speaker 4: Laura Luma is a cracker ass cracker.
1:19:35
Speaker 3: I think you got it.
1:19:36
Speaker 1: 16 times. There you go.
1:19:39
Speaker 11: All right.
1:19:39
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Now,
1:19:41
Speaker 1: when we come back, Saraya. Did I say that right?
1:19:44
Speaker 4: Saraya.
1:19:45
Speaker 1: Let me make sure.
1:19:46
Speaker 7: Like, hey, Saraya, Saraya. It's just Saraya.
1:19:48
Speaker 3: Saraya.
1:19:49
Speaker 1: That's right.
1:19:49

Speaker 1: Brandi's daughter. Saraya. We'll be joining us. That's right. She
1:19:54

1:20:29
Speaker 17: Yeah.
1:20:29
Speaker 7: Girl, I was listening to this music and I was like,
1:20:31
Speaker 7: oh my God.
1:20:32
Speaker 1: You like it?
1:20:33
Speaker 18: No, first of all, not surprised by the musical talent.
1:20:36
Speaker 18: Like I've seen you do covers. That's how I first,
1:20:38
Speaker 18: I mean, I figured you could sing because of Brandy.
1:20:40
Speaker 18: But when I saw the covers, I was like, oh no, no, no.
1:20:43
Speaker 18: She can like sing. But when I was listening to this,
1:20:45
Speaker 18: I'm like, she is a grown woman.
1:20:48
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:20:48
Speaker 1: Lil' Bat, Lil' Bat.
1:20:50
Speaker 7: No, ain't no Lil' Bat.
1:20:51
Speaker 1: Like, you grown, okay? Yes. You singing about some grownness.
1:20:54
Speaker 7: Let's talk a bit about Cold War, right? It's only,
1:20:56
Speaker 7: there's eight songs on it.
1:20:57
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:20:58
Speaker 18: The choice to make it, just keep it eight songs. Well,
1:21:00
Speaker 18: eight is a magical number. So, you know, we kept
1:21:03
Speaker 18: it at eight. It's not too much, but it's not,
1:21:06
Speaker 18: you know, we're leaving y'all wanting it. We're leaving y'all
1:21:08
Speaker 18: with no more, but you're satisfied.
1:21:10
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
1:21:11
Speaker 17: So, definitely, it's a good, rounded... project.
1:21:16
Speaker 18: So i'm just i'm excited it comes out friday i
1:21:18
Speaker 18: love your runs you run like your mama and i
1:21:21
Speaker 18: have never ever met anybody because you know we we
1:21:24
Speaker 18: we all hail the brandy she's the vocal bible me
1:21:27
Speaker 18: and chris brown used to always say that together but
1:21:29
Speaker 18: yeah like you run like your mom yeah is she
1:21:33
Speaker 18: is she.
1:21:33
Speaker 1: Your vocal your vocal coach.
1:21:35
Speaker 17: Well no so well yes she's she's very much involved
1:21:38
Speaker 17: in my music um Honestly, it's just genetic. I just
1:21:41
Speaker 17: hear the same as her naturally. It's not like, oh,
1:21:43
Speaker 17: she'll tell me to go do a run. I just
1:21:45
Speaker 17: kind of do it. And then it's like, it sounds
1:21:47
Speaker 17: like her naturally.
1:21:49
Speaker 15: And the fact that you didn't even know that your
1:21:50
Speaker 15: mom was Brandy until you was eight years old.
1:21:52
Speaker 7: I know.
1:21:53
Speaker 17: Yeah, it was crazy.
1:21:55
Speaker 7: She was just so normal. She's just my mom.
1:21:58
Speaker 18: I thought that whole thing of growing up on set
1:22:01
Speaker 18: or going to her rehearsals, I just thought it was
1:22:04
Speaker 18: very normal. Plus, I had to grow up really fast
1:22:07
Speaker 18: because there were so many adults around me all the time.
1:22:10
Speaker 17: So I just was behind my godmom, just watching her
1:22:14
Speaker 17: all the time.
1:22:14
Speaker 15: So what was that day when you realized that she
1:22:17
Speaker 15: was Brandy?
1:22:18
Speaker 7: What was that moment?
1:22:19
Speaker 17: Well, literally, it was human.
1:22:22
Speaker 7: I think, and it was a CD with her face
1:22:24
Speaker 7: on it.
1:22:24
Speaker 1: One of my favorite CDs.
1:22:25
Speaker 7: I know.
1:22:26
Speaker 17: It was with her face on it, and I used.
1:22:29
Speaker 7: To have everything.
1:22:29
Speaker 17: I had Gaga, I had all these, Beyonce, everything on
1:22:33
Speaker 17: my CD players, and I put it in, and I
1:22:35
Speaker 17: was like, Like, this is mom.
1:22:37
Speaker 18: And I was so confused. I'm like, why she had
1:22:39
Speaker 18: her face on it. And I asked her and then
1:22:42
Speaker 18: she had to explain it. And then two days later,
1:22:44
Speaker 18: we go to American Girl at all. And there's guys
1:22:47
Speaker 18: with cameras just snapping at her. And I was like, oh, okay.
1:22:50
Speaker 18: Then I got a kick out of it. I used
1:22:52
Speaker 18: to think it was the funniest thing for people to
1:22:53
Speaker 18: recognize her.
1:22:54
Speaker 17: Really?
1:22:55
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
1:22:57
Speaker 15: Baby, your mama got a Barbie doll that I still have.
1:22:59
Speaker 15: Heaven opened it, Cinderella.
1:23:01
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:23:03
Speaker 17: But it's weird because I never differentiated it. When I
1:23:06
Speaker 17: grew up watching Cinderella... I used to think those people
1:23:09
Speaker 17: were actually being really rude to mom.
1:23:12
Speaker 7: So I would cry a lot. And I'd be like,
1:23:14
Speaker 7: why are they being so mean to my mom? So
1:23:16
Speaker 7: I didn't know it was acting.
1:23:17
Speaker 17: I was really dumb.
1:23:18
Speaker 7: I don't know.
1:23:21
Speaker 1: You do know you was birthed on television.
1:23:24
Speaker 7: Yes.
1:23:27
Speaker 17: I mean, I wasn't watching Special Delirium at eight years old.
1:23:30
Speaker 1: I was right.
1:23:33
Speaker 7: So why name it Cold War? Why is that the
1:23:35
Speaker 7: name of the EP?
1:23:35
Speaker 17: Well, you know, like, it's just an all-around feeling that
1:23:39
Speaker 17: people just fight for a lot and they feel like
1:23:41
Speaker 17: it's one-sided, if.
1:23:42
Speaker 7: You get what I'm saying. Like, I'm basically, like, I've.
1:23:45
Speaker 17: Been through a lot and I'm done fighting.
1:23:48
Speaker 7: Just let me go.
1:23:49
Speaker 18: Like, let me be Sarah rather than, you know, like,
1:23:52
Speaker 18: holding me down and trying to actively fight something.
1:23:55
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, it's just dead.
1:23:57
Speaker 18: You know what I mean? You're fighting against nothing. So
1:23:59
Speaker 18: it's like, just let me go and let me go
1:24:01
Speaker 18: have fun.
1:24:01
Speaker 7: Let me be me. Let me, you know, prosper.
1:24:03
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:24:04
Speaker 17: And that's what basically was. And then it's like, now
1:24:07
Speaker 17: it's out.
1:24:08
Speaker 1: Who's the enemy?
1:24:08
Speaker 7: I mean, anything.
1:24:09
Speaker 17: It can be friendships, toxic relationships. It can be opinions.
1:24:14
Speaker 7: It can be critics.
1:24:15
Speaker 17: It can be, you know, unhealthy ways that you are
1:24:18
Speaker 17: in life.
1:24:18
Speaker 18: You get what I'm saying? You know, mentally, it's everything.
1:24:20
Speaker 18: So it was really me fighting against myself. And it's like,
1:24:24
Speaker 18: I just got to be me. And these lyrics are insane.
1:24:27
Speaker 18: So it's like, let me just name the album it.
1:24:29
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
1:24:30
Speaker 17: Because it's one of the tracks on there is Cold War.
1:24:33
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, when the standard inside your
1:24:36
Speaker 1: own house is so high, how do you learn the
1:24:40
Speaker 1: difference between being inspired by that excellence and being.
1:24:44
Speaker 3: Intimidated by it?
1:24:45
Speaker 1: It's not easy.
1:24:46
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
1:24:46
Speaker 17: And it's really from the outside world. It's not in
1:24:49
Speaker 17: the house.
1:24:50
Speaker 7: So mom doesn't, mom, uncle, any, my grandparents, like, they don't.
1:24:54
Speaker 3: Put pressure on you.
1:24:55
Speaker 7: They don't, because it's like, it's other people that do.
1:24:58
Speaker 7: It's the outside.
1:24:58
Speaker 17: And so that's what we all get afraid of, is
1:25:01
Speaker 17: what the outside people can, what it can do to me.
1:25:04
Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
1:25:05
Speaker 17: And so it's in the house. It's all supportive.
1:25:08
Speaker 18: It's obviously very constructive criticism, that's for sure. But it's
1:25:12
Speaker 18: never like, you know, you have to be me or
1:25:15
Speaker 18: you have to be better. They want me to be
1:25:16
Speaker 18: better than them, obviously.
1:25:17
Speaker 17: Every parent does. But it's like you have to, like,
1:25:20
Speaker 17: be anything.
1:25:20
Speaker 7: But you're brilliant on your own.
1:25:22
Speaker 17: You're fine.
1:25:22
Speaker 3: That's why for someone singing could be scary.
1:25:25
Speaker 7: Very. But I can do it.
1:25:26
Speaker 15: Well, baby, you sound amazing on this project. Well, right now,
1:25:30
Speaker 15: so you're focused on your career, more so focused on
1:25:32
Speaker 15: your career. And your mom is producing. Well, you know,
1:25:37
Speaker 15: she's executive producing. How much is it mother and daughter
1:25:42
Speaker 15: versus artist-producer? Like, is it hard for her to separate
1:25:45
Speaker 15: mommy from producer?
1:25:48
Speaker 16: No?
1:25:48
Speaker 17: It's not very hard for her. She understands, because she's
1:25:50
Speaker 17: an artist, so it's like she understands, like, I was really,
1:25:53
Speaker 17: really scared to show her some of the music.
1:25:54
Speaker 15: Cause I was like hard for you to separate mommy
1:25:58
Speaker 15: from producer.
1:25:59
Speaker 17: Absolutely.
1:25:59
Speaker 15: Yeah.
1:25:59
Speaker 18: You, you know, you sometimes when you do certain things,
1:26:02
Speaker 18: you don't want your mama, you know, judging you too much.
1:26:04
Speaker 18: You know, even my dad, I was, I was kind
1:26:06
Speaker 18: of scared to show him some of the stuff too.
1:26:07
Speaker 18: I was like, Oh gosh, her late night. Ooh, that's
1:26:10
Speaker 18: why he didn't post it on Instagram. Cause he was like,
1:26:12
Speaker 18: I'm not promoting my daughter singing about no come see
1:26:15
Speaker 18: about me tonight.
1:26:16
Speaker 11: Okay.
1:26:16
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:26:17
Speaker 7: But, um, he loves it.
1:26:18
Speaker 18: He's supportive, but yeah, I'm, uh, I was a little nervous. Yeah,
1:26:22
Speaker 18: I was a little nervous to show up. No, she's
1:26:25
Speaker 18: very opinionated.
1:26:26
Speaker 7: Loves all of it. My biggest critique.
1:26:28
Speaker 18: But if I can get stamped by her, I know
1:26:32
Speaker 18: I'm good.
1:26:33
Speaker 3: I've heard you say there's pressure that comes with your
1:26:35
Speaker 3: mother's legacy.
1:26:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, super.
1:26:36
Speaker 3: What does that.
1:26:37
Speaker 1: Pressure feel like?
1:26:38
Speaker 18: I mean, that pressure is just to continue the legacy.
1:26:40
Speaker 18: And if I'm doing her justice, she has a fandom.
1:26:43
Speaker 18: She has diehard fans.
1:26:45
Speaker 9: Yes.
1:26:45
Speaker 7: So it's like.
1:26:47
Speaker 18: I just never want to disappoint, if you get what
1:26:49
Speaker 18: I'm saying. But the pressure doesn't directly come from her.
1:26:52
Speaker 18: It's like mostly on me because I'm a perfectionist when
1:26:54
Speaker 18: it comes to music. Yeah, it's just a lot of,
1:26:56
Speaker 18: it's just a lot. People have a lot of opinions.
1:26:59
Speaker 18: And then, you know, vocally, she's like one of the greatest.
1:27:02
Speaker 7: So it's like, dang, can I like even amount to that?
1:27:05
Speaker 7: But I'm like, you don't have to.
1:27:06
Speaker 18: It's, you're you, you're Sarah. Like Brandy is Brandy, Sarah
1:27:09
Speaker 18: is Sarah, even though we are connected. But it's like,
1:27:11
Speaker 18: I'm a whole different human being.
1:27:13
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
1:27:13
Speaker 17: So yeah, that pressure sometimes is hard.
1:27:16
Speaker 1: Was there ever a moment when that pressure actually made
1:27:19
Speaker 1: you question whether music was even worth pursuing?
1:27:22
Speaker 18: Yeah, I was kind of in that era where my
1:27:25
Speaker 18: music was really stagnant, and I didn't know, and I
1:27:27
Speaker 18: didn't know how to create, and I started sounding the same.
1:27:30
Speaker 18: Every song sounded the same. It was all really gray
1:27:33
Speaker 18: instead of black and white, it's good or it's bad.
1:27:34
Speaker 7: I was like, maybe I shouldn't do this.
1:27:38
Speaker 18: Last time I was here, I told you guys I
1:27:39
Speaker 18: went to school, so I really wanted to be in business.
1:27:42
Speaker 18: I was just going to be like, Well, my grandma does,
1:27:44
Speaker 18: you know, manager, consultant. I was going down that road.
1:27:47
Speaker 18: I met my new team, and we did this one,
1:27:49
Speaker 18: and I was like, nope, I'm back on track.
1:27:51
Speaker 13: Yep.
1:27:52
Speaker 17: So now I'm locked in.
1:27:54
Speaker 4: Morning, everybody.
1:27:55
Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

1:28:08
Speaker 7: Yes, I am. You are exercising that actress muscle.
1:28:12
Speaker 17: Yes, I am.
1:28:13
Speaker 7: How was that?
1:28:13
Speaker 17: It was fun.
1:28:14
Speaker 7: It was really, really fun. So it's already done? Already shot? Yeah,
1:28:17
Speaker 7: already shot.
1:28:17
Speaker 17: Yeah, we did it in July in Atlanta. Hot as
1:28:19
Speaker 17: hell out there.
1:28:20
Speaker 7: And we were all in sweaters.
1:28:23
Speaker 18: But yeah, no, it was really fun. We're back at
1:28:27
Speaker 18: me and mom playing sisters.
1:28:28
Speaker 7: And yeah, it was really, really, really fun this time though.
1:28:32
Speaker 7: I can't wait for it.
1:28:33
Speaker 18: I can't wait for it either because I want to
1:28:35
Speaker 18: see the whole thing. We don't get edits or anything.
1:28:37
Speaker 18: The premiere is when.
1:28:38
Speaker 7: We see it.
1:28:39
Speaker 17: And I'm like, oh, God, I hope I look cute
1:28:41
Speaker 17: in some of these. Because acting this time, I don't
1:28:45
Speaker 17: think I can say what I am.
1:28:46
Speaker 7: Literally, the acting this time was, I had to act.
1:28:48
Speaker 17: I literally had to act.
1:28:50
Speaker 7: Taking the hat off, like, you know.
1:28:52
Speaker 18: Us looking at Brandy as Brandy, when you are going
1:28:54
Speaker 18: through these things that you're going through, these real-life experiences
1:28:57
Speaker 18: with boys and figuring out career and all of that,
1:29:00
Speaker 18: you and your mom seem very, very close.
1:29:02
Speaker 16: We are.
1:29:02
Speaker 7: Like, watch y'all in person. She allows you to be you.
1:29:04
Speaker 18: How does she talk you through those things in a
1:29:07
Speaker 18: way that, like, people may not ever understand about her
1:29:09
Speaker 18: because we just look at her as Brandy? Well, literally, it's...
1:29:12
Speaker 18: She literally told me when I was going through all that,
1:29:14
Speaker 18: you're stronger than you think.
1:29:16
Speaker 7: Like, you're stronger than you think. You're going to get
1:29:17
Speaker 7: through it.
1:29:18
Speaker 16: Like.
1:29:19
Speaker 18: You're going to get through it. Cry about it now.
1:29:21
Speaker 18: But like you're a big girl. You can like you
1:29:23
Speaker 18: can handle yourself. You know what I mean? So it's
1:29:24
Speaker 18: like she's really, really like the person that's like, come.
1:29:28
Speaker 7: On, get up. You know what I mean?
1:29:29
Speaker 18: She's not going to be like weeping in your sorrows and,
1:29:32
Speaker 18: you know, like show pat your back or whatever.
1:29:35
Speaker 7: But she's going to be like, get up.
1:29:36
Speaker 18: You're going to be fine. And you're so much stronger
1:29:38
Speaker 18: than you think. She always sees things before I do.
1:29:41
Speaker 18: which a lot of moms do. They see a lot
1:29:43
Speaker 18: for their kids before. I'm not a mother, so I
1:29:45
Speaker 18: don't know, but that's what she tells me. Because they
1:29:47
Speaker 18: went through it. Right, so she just sees me before
1:29:50
Speaker 18: I do, and she knows what's basically going to happen.
1:29:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:29:53
Speaker 7: What did Uncle Ray say?
1:29:55
Speaker 1: About what?
1:29:56
Speaker 6: I don't know.
1:29:57
Speaker 7: Boys, about the life experience.
1:29:59
Speaker 17: Uncle Ray J don't know nothing. I don't talk to
1:30:02
Speaker 17: him about no boys. He thinks I'm still dating the
1:30:03
Speaker 17: same guy since I was 17. Because he sees.
1:30:07
Speaker 1: You as his little baby niece. He does not.
1:30:11
Speaker 17: I don't really talk to him about that. He'll be
1:30:15
Speaker 17: the quick one to be like, you need me.
1:30:17
Speaker 7: To kick his ass?
1:30:18
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying? That's how he is.
1:30:20
Speaker 18: But it's like, no, uncle. You guys' relationship, I think,
1:30:23
Speaker 18: is adorable, too. I remember when he was here and
1:30:25
Speaker 18: you were here with him. You're so protective over him,
1:30:27
Speaker 18: but he's also so protective over you.
1:30:28
Speaker 14: As well, too.
1:30:29
Speaker 7: The last time I was here.
1:30:30
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:30:32
Speaker 7: Oh, no, I love my uncle. Literally, he's... He's my
1:30:35
Speaker 7: best friend, too. I love him. Even with all the shenanigans,
1:30:38
Speaker 7: you got to love him. I don't pay attention to
1:30:40
Speaker 7: any of y'all.
1:30:41
Speaker 17: The only thing I paid attention to was the fight,
1:30:43
Speaker 17: because it was funniest.
1:30:44
Speaker 7: It was so funny. He won, though.
1:30:46
Speaker 1: Well, that one. He won the last one. The one
1:30:49
Speaker 1: before that. No.
1:30:51
Speaker 9: Oh, my God.
1:30:51
Speaker 7: They looked a mess.
1:30:53
Speaker 3: You know, having a crazy Uncle Ray is part of
1:30:55
Speaker 3: the black experience.
1:30:56
Speaker 13: It is.
1:30:57
Speaker 7: That's right.
1:30:58
Speaker 1: That's peak blackness.
1:30:59
Speaker 18: Normally, they sit outside to look at stuff, but yours
1:31:01
Speaker 18: is just on stream.
1:31:01
Speaker 1: That's peak blackness.
1:31:04
Speaker 18: Got to have one of them man I do got

1:31:09

Speaker 18: so much though he was literally last time literally he
1:31:13

1:32:55
Speaker 17: Be like, oh, Ray J and sexy can I?

1:33:01
Speaker 7: way differently.
1:33:02
Speaker 11: No, stop.
1:33:03
Speaker 7: That's like me saying, I like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes.

Speaker 7: No shade to Chingy or no shade to Ray.
1:33:12
Speaker 1: But let's just move on. And at what point do
1:33:15
Speaker 1: you want people to stop introducing you as Brandi's daughter?
1:33:18
Speaker 3: And do you feel like you've earned that shit?
1:33:20
Speaker 7: I am her daughter.
1:33:21
Speaker 18: I never have a problem with it, you know? I mean,
1:33:23
Speaker 18: I feel like that is also like, People are curious. Like,
1:33:27
Speaker 18: I wonder if she sounds like her mom.
1:33:28
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
1:33:29
Speaker 17: That's only going to give me more streams. I never
1:33:30
Speaker 17: have a problem with it.
1:33:32
Speaker 18: But then after, you know, I feel like you're going
1:33:34
Speaker 18: to fall in love with me, fall in love with
1:33:35
Speaker 18: my personality. And then I don't ever have a problem.
1:33:38
Speaker 18: I'm always honored to be called that. So, I mean,
1:33:41
Speaker 18: if you say.
1:33:42

Speaker 18: So some congratulations, top of the latest this hour, because
1:35:44
Speaker 18: Howard Stern has reportedly struck a very lucrative deal with
1:35:47
Speaker 18: HBO Max to stream his show. So the streamer is
1:35:50
Speaker 18: going to take the video from his once- From his
1:35:54
Speaker 18: once-a-week show, Condensed Into a Series, this is According to
1:35:57
Speaker 18: the Sun. Now, the plan will mean that there will
1:35:59
Speaker 18: be some changes to his schedule on his show for
1:36:02
Speaker 18: all of the listeners. But he'll be doing the live
1:36:04
Speaker 18: show strictly on Mondays, according to a source. And they
1:36:08
Speaker 18: say that that's why he hasn't started this year on
1:36:10
Speaker 18: the Tuesdays or Sundays. During the Tuesdays that he normally
1:36:13
Speaker 18: does right after Labor Day. But basically, the announcement is
1:36:15
Speaker 18: that he is potentially going to the streamer HBO Max.
1:36:17
Speaker 7: With the video version.
1:36:19
Speaker 3: So is he still on Sirius?
1:36:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's still going to be on Sirius.
1:36:21
Speaker 3: I thought I seen somebody where he wasn't or something. No,
1:36:24
Speaker 3: this is for his Sirius XM show.
1:36:25
Speaker 18: Yes, but there were reports a long time ago about
1:36:28
Speaker 18: what his contract was going. Remember, we talked about it,
1:36:30
Speaker 18: but then he ended up and he talked about it himself.
1:36:32
Speaker 18: Like he was doing his contract.
1:36:33
Speaker 1: I thought I seen something recently.
1:36:34
Speaker 3: This is essentially what he did years and years and
1:36:37
Speaker 3: years ago when he was on E!
1:36:38
Speaker 1: Like when they would take portions of his radio show
1:36:41
Speaker 1: and condense it into you know a series and that's
1:36:44
Speaker 1: what they're doing with hbo now i mean i guess
1:36:45
Speaker 1: it's but he's only he's only on one day a
1:36:47
Speaker 1: week now.
1:36:48
Speaker 18: So yeah that's what they're talking about that they're saying
1:36:51
Speaker 18: that that's why it changed i don't know but there
1:36:53
Speaker 18: were reports that he was leaving serious yeah but nothing
1:36:56
Speaker 18: that is confirmed though yeah i see something.
1:36:58
Speaker 5: I just looked it up now it says andy cohen
1:37:00
Speaker 5: to replace howard stern on serious xm channel and lineup.
1:37:02
Speaker 1: Shake up I know I read that yesterday. I don't
1:37:05
Speaker 1: know how deep it is.
1:37:06
Speaker 3: I would just sign the new deal.
1:37:08
Speaker 18: That's why it's been confusing because there were also reports
1:37:10
Speaker 18: that he wasn't going to sign that deal. Remember, people
1:37:12
Speaker 18: were wondering if he was going to retire and then
1:37:13
Speaker 18: we talked about the deal. Then they were saying that
1:37:15
Speaker 18: he was leaving Sirius and that shows.
1:37:17
Speaker 7: Were supposed to be replaced.
1:37:18
Speaker 1: He does one show a week.
1:37:19
Speaker 18: I don't know what is true about that, Envy, but yes,
1:37:21
Speaker 18: I saw those reports too. But I do know that he,
1:37:24
Speaker 18: I don't even know that, the Sun is reporting that
1:37:26
Speaker 18: he has this new deal with HBO Max. Which, you know,
1:37:28
Speaker 18: I think we're seeing a lot of the shows do that,
1:37:30
Speaker 18: where you have the audio side and now the video
1:37:32
Speaker 18: is finding a home.
1:37:32
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Howard's one of the originators of that.
1:37:35
Speaker 1: The originator that I can remember. You know, when he,
1:37:38
Speaker 1: like I said, when he had his show on E!
1:37:39
Speaker 1: back in the day.
1:37:40
Speaker 3: So, dropping the clues bombs for the OG Howard Stern.
1:37:44
Speaker 8: Yes.
1:37:44
Speaker 3: Good to see HBO Max, another company, getting into the
1:37:47
Speaker 3: content game.
1:37:48
Speaker 7: Reportedly. Now, another.
1:37:51
Speaker 5: Just to clear it up, it says Howard Stern, I
1:37:52
Speaker 5: guess he has his own channel on SiriusXM.
1:37:55
Speaker 1: Forever, duh!
1:37:55
Speaker 3: But it looks like they're changing that.
1:37:57
Speaker 5: It says Howard will remain on the show 100, and
1:38:01
Speaker 5: Andy Cohen is moving to what Howard's show was on
1:38:04
Speaker 5: 101 stations.
1:38:06
Speaker 7: So Howard, he technically ain't really going nowhere.
1:38:09
Speaker 1: He ain't even serious. All right, y'all.

1:40:02
Speaker 18: Chili Well, as you guys know, my.
1:40:06
Speaker 11: Sister Sarah T.
1:40:06
Speaker 17: Voss has sick cell.
1:40:08
Speaker 7: You know that. That's not a secret.

1:40:35
Speaker 18: Chili who tells us that, you know, T-Boz is recovering.
1:40:38
Speaker 18: But because the tour is such an iconic and interactive show,
1:40:41
Speaker 18: they didn't want to pull out. Chili went on and
1:40:43
Speaker 18: performed by herself with a lot of support from Salt-N-Pepa
1:40:45
Speaker 18: and En Vogue. But T-Boz is resting. She's been overwhelmed
1:40:49
Speaker 18: with the love and support from the fans. But she
1:40:51
Speaker 18: just wants to say thank you to everybody. And she
1:40:53
Speaker 18: appreciated hearing the audience sing along, even though she wasn't there.
1:40:57
Speaker 18: But she is dealing with sickle cell. She wants people
1:40:58
Speaker 18: to know that it is serious. So as she continues
1:41:00
Speaker 18: to recover, she just says thank you for all the
1:41:02
Speaker 18: love and support.
1:41:03
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Chili was able to hold it down.
1:41:04
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a letdown for the fans, of course.
1:41:06
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, you're paying for it.
1:41:09
Speaker 19: Absolutely.
1:41:09

1:45:31
Speaker 18: Envy merch.
1:45:31
Speaker 7: Like the Woody Hutton?
1:45:33
Speaker 1: No, man. I sold it. They had US Open merch.
1:45:35
Speaker 5: So I would be in the merch stand and they
1:45:36
Speaker 5: taught you how to fold it the correct way and
1:45:38
Speaker 5: how to sell merch and all that other stuff.
1:45:39
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that was it.
1:45:40
Speaker 7: I'm excited.
1:45:41
Speaker 3: And listen, I want to tell y'all too, man, make
1:45:42
Speaker 3: sure you get your teeth cleaned.
1:45:43
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like a lot of people
1:45:45
Speaker 1: got plaque buildup and that plaque buildup leads to.
1:45:47
Speaker 3: Bleeding of the gums.
1:45:47
Speaker 1: Where's this coming from? You've been saying it all morning. No, no, no.
1:45:49
Speaker 1: The plaque buildup leads to bleeding of the gums, bad breath.
1:45:52
Speaker 1: Just make sure that you're cleaning your teeth the proper way.
1:45:55
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
1:45:55
Speaker 1: Make sure you're using a water floss pick. That's very important.
1:45:59
Speaker 1: Make sure you're using an electric toothbrush. That is also important.
1:46:02
Speaker 1: And a good mouthwash to use is Biotene. Okay, because
1:46:05
Speaker 1: bioteen is good for your gum health. We forget about
1:46:07
Speaker 1: gum health sometimes.
1:46:08
Speaker 15: Boy, when you go to the dentist one time and
1:46:10
Speaker 15: now you just know a whole bunch of shit.
1:46:13
Speaker 1: Stop playing.
