• 5:18
  Speaker 10: Good morning, vay je Charlamagne, how y'all doing this morning?
• 5:22
  Speaker 11: Good morning?
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: So we start this morning. We have a lot of
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: news to cover, guys. We start in Washington, where President
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: Trump has cut a deal that permanently shields him from
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: any future I R S audits of his previously filed
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: tax returns. So the one page agreement was posted Tuesday
• 5:39
  Speaker 10: morning and signed by Acting Attorney in General Todd Blanche.
• 5:42
  Speaker 12: It states that the I r.
• 5:43
  Speaker 10: S is forever barred from pursuing audits or examinations involving
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: tax returns filed before this past Monday. So the agreement
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: it covers President Trump's President Trump himself along with his
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: two adult sons. It also extends to other Trump family members,
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: related trusts, affiliated individuals, and on the business side, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: document covers the Trump organization, including the family's real estate, hotel, golf,
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: and licensing empire.
• 6:10
  Speaker 11: Now, the IRS itself did not sign.
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: The document, and the waiver, though, is part of a
• 6:15
  Speaker 10: broader settlement in which the President has agreed to dismiss
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: his ten billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS over the
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: leaking of his tax returns and the New York Times
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: they previously reported that the audit tied to the President's
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: tax returns could have cost him as much as one
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: hundred million dollars. So the Justice Department says the agreement
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: it applies only to existing tax disputes and does not
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: include future audits. So anything in the past, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: he can go back. No one can go back and
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: dispute those, but going forward, the president can those can
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: be disputed. But former IRS commissioners from both Republican and
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: Democratic sides say they are unaware of any previous case
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: where the IRS has agreed to advance.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: This is great.
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: I had agreed in advance to permanently stop examining one
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: specific person and their tax returns.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So all these Americans out here is struggling economically, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he's found yet another way to keep more money in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: his pocket. Like the IRS comes after regular people are hard.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But the president can negotiate ammusity for tax crewtiny.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: So Mimi, he can pay whatever he wants in taxes
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: for the rest of his life because there is no
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: audit system. So if he says, I'm only paying you
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a million, there's nothing they can do it. Is that
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: what you're telling me?
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: Well, what the way I understand it is it goes
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: back to his previous tax return. So he was looking
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: at one hundred million dollars for a skyscraper in Chicago,
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: something that they wanted to audit. So for an example,
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: they can't go backwards.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I thought they said future too, like nothing in the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: future they can touch you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: I didn't hear future. I just heard past. So going forward,
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: you know, anything is on the table, but the past
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: is off the table. That's from where I understand it,
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: So we can do a little bit more digging. But yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: that's that's what Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche set up
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: for him.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Again, facing a potential one hundred million dollar tax punity
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: from past stuff. And now that's just gone. That's gone.
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: And that was out of Chicago.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's gone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: So yes, it's very very unprecedented, precedented. And also we're
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: learning more about that anti weaponization fund, that nearly one
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: point eight billion dollar tax payer fund, the compensation program
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: that was created as part of that settlement that President
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: Trump's lawsuit, his lawsuit against the IRS. So the administration
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: says the fund, of course, was meant to compensate people
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: who believe they were unfairly targeted or prosecuted by the
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: Biden administration. During a Senate hearing yesterday, Acting Attorney General
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: Todd Blanche said, there are no restrictions on who can
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: apply for that money.
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: Let's take a listen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: During Police Week, I heard from a number of law
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: enforcement friends who found it appalling that there was the
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: possibility that folks like the piece that oath Keepers, the
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: Proud Boys who had assaulted Capital police officers could receive
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: multimillion dollar payouts from this fund. Well, you commit that
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: no one who has been convicted of assaulting a police
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: officer will receive a payout from this fund.
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: Anybody can apply. The commission will set the commissioners will
• 9:19
  Speaker 13: set rules on shore. That's not for me to set.
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: That's for the commissioners. And whether and whether an individual
• 9:26
  Speaker 13: oath Keepers you just mentioned applies for compensation, anybody in
• 9:30
  Speaker 13: this country can apply.
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, So the fund will be overseen, as they said,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: by a five member commissioner that will be appointed by
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: the Attorney General, and they can all be removed by
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: President Trump at any time. And so the commission it
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: is not required to publicly release who receives any of
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: these payouts or even why those claims were approved. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: the fund is expected to begin processing those claims immediately
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: and they will remain active through December of twenty two eight,
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: just weeks before President Trump leaves office.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care what your race is,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: what your political party is, I don't care if you
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: got a maga tattoo on your forehead. Okay, there's no
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: way you can be okay with this level of corruption,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Like folks will be bailitten buy financially in this country
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and they're using your taxpayer dollars to compensate people who
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: committed the crime of insurrections cream while he doesn't have
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to pay taxes. Meanwhile, he's a mute for many tax scrutiny.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 10:25
  Speaker 14: Mean.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you one question though, before we before
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: we wrap uh next in the next couple of years,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I guess what what two more years and when there's
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: a new president in office.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And think there's going to be a new president, I really,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I really want you all to start thinking about this now,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and I really want you to you really think there's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: going to be when the president, when there's a new
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: president in office.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Can new president reverse it like he has reversed things
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: that Obama and Biden put into play.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Is that possible?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: You can reverse?
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: But do you understand that all the damage that has
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: been done is going to take decade?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Clean up is probably going to take to hold.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: But you know, I don't understand when people say that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: because he's done all this in less than two years.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He's just reversed everything the first day. But think of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the thing that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: All the people he's laid off, all the government agencies
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: that he shuddered, all the things that way longer.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it will take way longer.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It takes longer to rebuild that. Yes, I understand that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just talking about policy and legislation and.
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: Executive Yeah, I mean with the executive order and things
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: like that, yes, he could put but I still think
• 11:26
  Speaker 10: even with those things, it's going to take some time
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: to put all those those puzzle pieces back together.
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: I don't think it can be done.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: He's allowed to do it like this is insane. I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: want I just do want y'all know Maggiet is playing
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for keeps. I do want y'all to know that they're
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: not playing to put that like they're planning on leaving
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: anything anytime soon to bowl with it. I just think
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: what would past political solutions, you know, like we're just
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: going to vote this type of fashion and we're just
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: going to vote out authoritarian an authoritarian regime. I don't
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: see that happening.
• 11:59
  Speaker 10: And just quickly before we in this hour, I also
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: want to say that this is all still set on
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: the backdrop that Trump still wants a what one billion
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: dollars in additional funds for his ballroom that he says
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: is for security, and.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Tax payers have to pay that. He told us that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: we're gonna come from private donors, but now tax beans
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: got to pay for that too, taxpayer money. I don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: know what. I don't I don't know what's happening. But

  Speaker 1: situations like this. You can't constantly keep your foot on
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the neck of people economically and expect those people not
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to stap when they watching your whole administration get fat
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: while they stop, it's just they're going to snap that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: just the reality of the situation.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying.
• 14:04
  Speaker 16: Then, I feel like when people can get on the
• 14:06
  Speaker 16: internet and find people with fixtoc two point five seconds,
• 14:10
  Speaker 16: that's what we need to do is come together and
• 14:12
  Speaker 16: pay that energy in the street.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to happen. It's inevitable.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, even the IRS then, you know, the IRS
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: has really hurt a lot of families, people that didn't
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: file right or had a bad accountant and just owe
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit of money, a couple thousand dollars and
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: can't pay it and are behind and all that. And
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: the head that he got is one hundred million dollar
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: tax fid White one.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Hundred million dollars. Has got to stop comparing everyday working
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: class people to the president of the United States of America. Now,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the president shouldn't be abusing his power.
• 14:41
  Speaker 17: Well that's my point, Like, you know, every day working
• 14:43
  Speaker 17: class people don't even have that type of power, right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 17: But if somebody owes two thousand dollars of the RS
• 14:47
  Speaker 17: and they're paying one hundred dollars a month and it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 17: it's hurting them monthly or even more, and he just
• 14:52
  Speaker 17: wiped out a hundred million dollars.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: How does that make them feel? You know what I mean?

  Speaker 9: which is also a new category. So the Pulse Award
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: is basically people who are in the our space yourself,
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: like digital creators.
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: Uh, you know media creators who are leading the pause.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Who category in that category? Yeah, I saw Joe and
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Jada in that category. I've seen Cameron and Mace. It
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: is what it is in that category.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: But is it I was wondering is he off limits

• 21:31

  Speaker 9: keep us talking, sharing and coming back for more.
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: That's how BT listed definitely.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: I mentioned earlier in the t's shout out to BT,
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: I feel like this year is going to be another
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: great year for them.
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: They had a great award show last year.
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: This year I think would be good as well too,
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: just because of the nominations and the conversations it's causing.
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: But I mentioned that there was an artist who was
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: upset once these nominations dropped. This artist did, We've talked
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: a lot about him up here. He posted to excess
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: today once the awards were circulating and deleted it. He says,
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: I hate BT. He added BT oh Jesus. He says
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: five Grammy nominations, zero BT nomination, slash acknowledgment nothing. He says,
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: in words, remix the same people every year at the
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: BT Awards. So and I mean, I feel like we
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: talk a lot about the artists who don't care about
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: the B two Awards and who don't show up. When
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: I saw this, I'm like, well, his intention is in
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: the right place because he cares about our awards over
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: everything else.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But they should definitely have been nominated for that. God
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: does like ugly album. That album was tough, tough, tough, tough,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: tough too. It may not have had like crazy commercial success,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: but it was just a great album.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: It was a dope album. And I wonder if is
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: like b to the hip hop awards that they used
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: to have. I wonder if that was the way to
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: recognize more of the hip hop artists and rappers and
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: things like that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: But they don't have any. But even with that, like
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Jim said, I was nominated, he should have been. He
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: was nominated for five Grammys. I definitely he was nominated
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: for rapum Grammys, but he.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Should have should he should have recognizd absolutely under Yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: Well, I mean I don't know.
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: I feel like they they're they're getting it right, but
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: you know, there's always some work that can be done.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Do they have a rap album? I was gonna say,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I don't even know it was nominated.
• 23:29
  Speaker 12: Let me look it up. Hold on, actually I have
• 23:31
  Speaker 12: it right here.
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: So album they have, you want to know, specifically better album?
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: You see, if they only have rap album, probably not
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: best group Best Collaboration, Best Artists, Viewers Choice, Lauren Hear.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: They don't have one, and they'll have I'm not.
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: Going to say I'm gonna look forward first Postal Award.
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: We just talked about that. I do not see the best.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: So Jim didn't say what category he felt he should
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: have actually been in.
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: No, he did not. He just said he was upset.
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: They do have best Male hip Hop Artists. That acet
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: Rocky U Baby category.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: We're looking at.
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: Best hip Hop ar you said best Rap Album, hip
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: Hop and rap. If you're looking at artists and album,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: those are different. The Grammys will do Best Male hip
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Hop and Album. Those are two different categories that y'all
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: should have been more specific with your exactly exactly exactly,
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: like exactly, like y'all tell me, don't do that because
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: there are two separate categories.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But that's what I was saying.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: So that's what the category in this category, you have
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: a set Rocky Baby, King, Big X, The Plug, Baby.
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: The Baby, Don Tolliver, Drake, j Cole, Kendrick Lamar t I.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Should have definitely been that category.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Absolutely category yeah, absolutely, yes, absolutely.
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: Well, look, I mean I think it opens up the.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Time from anything anybody on that in that category, but
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: he's he should have been in there.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: God like Ugly was a phenomenal album. He was nominated
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: for Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys. He
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: should have been in that category.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: Well, well, I mean hopefully it opens up more conversation
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: for next year. Next yeah, next word season. Well we

  Speaker 10: Rights Act and sparked new battles over majority black voting
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: districts across the South. So the campaign is called out
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: of bounds, and it targets schools in eight Southern states,
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: including powerhouse football programs like Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Old
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: miss The NAACP says many of these universities they benefit
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: heavily from black athletes while largely remaining silent as black
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: voter power is being reduced in their states. The organization
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: is also encouraging fans and alumni to redirect their donations
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: to HBCUs. The campaign comes after the Supreme Court it
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: ruled against the Louisiana congressional map last month, a decision
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: that of course weakend voting rights, and advocates already saying
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: that this is reshaping black representation across the South, and
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: now the Congressional Black Caucus they are backing the effort
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: of the NAACP.
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: Listen to House Minority Leader Haking Jeffries, this is.
• 28:02
  Speaker 21: An unprecedented moment featuring an unprecedented attack on black political representation,
• 28:11
  Speaker 21: and therefore it requires an unprecedented response. We are here
• 28:19
  Speaker 21: standing in solidarity with the NAACP and its call for
• 28:26
  Speaker 21: athletes to boycott institutions within the SEC that belong to
• 28:35
  Speaker 21: states that have unleashed these Jim Crow like racially oppressive tactics.
• 28:44
  Speaker 21: And we believe that the silence of these institutions is
• 28:48
  Speaker 21: complicity and we will not stand for it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: So are they saying don't go to PWIS in the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: South or are they saying don't go to SEC schools
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: in the South. Like I'm trying to understand what it is.
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: Saying exactly, I think they're trying to say a little
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: bit of everything. They want you to redirect your funds,
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: redirect your money. They're calling on student athletes not to
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: play for those schools and perhaps if you can go
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: to an HBCU or go to a different school that's
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: not in the South.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: The majority of majority of hbc user in the South.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I think he's tying PWIS though.
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: P wysoh, I'm sorry sharp, p wistcha that I named
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: like old miss a lot of Alabama State, a lot
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: of those schools that have those powerhouse football teams and
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: things like that, but haven't said anything about what's going on.
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: So yes, they're wanting you to leave those schools and
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: go to HBCUs HBCUs which are also in the South.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: The problem with that is we need more of our
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: community to invest back into HBCUs.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Right. The reason that a lot of students don't want
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: To an HBCU if they're thinking about playing professionally is one,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: of course, the eyes, right there are more eyes on pwys.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: They're on bigger TV, bigger contract. And not only that,
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: even like what MASTERP said with his so and so
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: when I first went to an HBCU, but the facilities,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: you know, the training facilities, the healing facilities to make
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: sure that the players can actually rehab better are better
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: at pwis and not as you know, great and some HBCUs.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Have severeer systemic funding exactly.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: So we have to make sure that we can give
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: back to those HBCUs so they can at least try
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: to get on the same page of these pwi's to
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: kind of, you know, level the playing field, because if not,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: there's nothing you can do. And for athlete, they need
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: those facilities, they need those training facilities, and if they
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: can't train the same way as these pwis, it makes
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: it very difficult.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: So so and I'm just assume I'm just assuming o
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Keen was talking about the sixteen sec school. Yes, specific,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that's what he said. Okay, all right, gotcha.
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah. So and that's a good point in me.
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: I think that there's something that needs to be looked
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: into because you're asking them to give up one thing
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: and in order to do that, they need to be
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: met at the same level. So maybe that's something that's
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: the NAACP and other organizations that are calling for this
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: can invest in, because either way, HBCU, they to be
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: on the same playing field as some of those other
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: p w wis. And speaking of the South Georgia voters,
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: they have set up one of the biggest political showdowns
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: of twenty twenty six. So former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lamps
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: Bottoms is now the Democratic nominee for governor after winning
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: her primary outright Tuesday night, so she avoids a runoff
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: by giving Democrats an early start in the state that
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: they've been trying to flip for decades. So Bottom now
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: heads into the general election as the Democrats hoped, as
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: they hope to win Georgia's governor's mansion for the first
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: time since.
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: The nineteen nineties.
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: And meanwhile, on the flip side of that. Kentucky Republican
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: Congressman Thomas Massey. He lost his reelection primary after President
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: Trump endorsed his opponent opponent, ed Gowrain. Massey had previously
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: broken with Trump on issues including Iran, the president's tax bill,
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: and calling for the Jeffrey Epstein files. After conceding Tuesday night,
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: Massey warns supporters about what he called the go along
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: to get along politics inside the Republican Party.
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: Let's listen to some of his concession speech.
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: But I would have come out sooner, but I had
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: to call my opponent and concede, and it took a
• 32:10
  Speaker 14: while to find ed Galleryan and tel Aviv I did
• 32:14
  Speaker 14: get the call through. Though I have called and conceded
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: the race. We've been honorable the whole time.
• 32:21
  Speaker 18: And we're gonna stay that way.
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: They used a lot of dirty tricks, but we stayed
• 32:25
  Speaker 14: the course. We did not We didn't bend a knee,
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: we didn't throw a foul ball, we didn't do any
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: of those things. We had lots of opportunities to try
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: a lot of stuff like that, and we never did it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: We ran a clean race.
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: Now, this was the most expensive house race in history,
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: with around thirty four million dollars spent. A lot of
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: a pac money went into this, and a lot of
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: of course, President Trump, he backed his opponent, and so
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: Thomas Massey says, though he will use the remaining of
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: his time going after Trump and seeing what and the
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: Jeffrey Epstein files while he still can.
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: That is shaping up there. And now to an update.
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: We talked about this yesterday, just a little bit of
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: that Virginia Elementary school shooting. That trial is underway in
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: Newport News. So that's the way the former assistant principal,
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: doctor Ebonie Parker, she is on trial for failing to
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: act as teachers warned that a six year old student
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: may have had a gun in their first grade class. Now,
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: during testimony yesterday, Parker's defense team they pushed back against
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: prosecutors and I think you may have said this yesterday, Jess,
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: arguing that teachers and staff members they also have the
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: opportunity to stop the child, but failed to act. Now,
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: defense attorneys even questioned Zerner herself she was a teacher
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: who was shot, about why the child remained in the
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: classroom if the staff truly believed that he had a gun.
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: And this is what she had to say.
• 33:49
  Speaker 22: Listen, okay, So he was on that presented a danger
• 33:54
  Speaker 22: to your students, is that correct?
• 33:56
  Speaker 19: Yes?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, So you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 22: Took no action to separate JT from his other classmates
• 34:05
  Speaker 22: is that correct?
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 34:09
  Speaker 22: And so you allowed him to go out to recess.
• 34:13
  Speaker 22: What they understand that she may have had a gun?
• 34:15
  Speaker 18: Is that correct?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, you could have refused to let him to go
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to recess.
• 34:22
  Speaker 22: You could have removed come from the presence of his
• 34:25
  Speaker 22: other classmates.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? I'm okay, Well, she.
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: Said, I hate to laugh for you said in hindsight. Yes,
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: so that was a teacher who got shot, right, that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 10: Was the teacher who got shot. But the defense attorney
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: was literally trying to prove a point that other teachers,
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: if they knew, they also could have stepped in, and
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: they also could have done something. While everyone is saying that,
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: you know, Parker, the tea, the assistant principal should have
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: done something, her defense is saying, listen, if five six,
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: seven teachers knew as well, why did you let him
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: go to recess? Why didn't you, you know, clear the backpack?
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: Why didn't you step in and do something?
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Basically say, she wasn't the only one there was other
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: authority in it that could have did something.
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: There was other authorities, but they also saying that that's
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: her job.
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: She's the one of the authority to search a student.
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: So therefore trying to put it on the teachers is
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: still risky because her job title was literally and she
• 35:15
  Speaker 10: was trained for things like that. And so that's so
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: as a trial continues today, but that's what happened yesterday.
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: She is facing, if convicted, forty years in prison for
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: failing to act.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You know what I would like to see. I would
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: like to see what exactly is she trained to do, Like,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that nobody's training no teacher to search
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: no first grader for guns. If that's the case, boy,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: we got some other problem. I mean, we know we
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: got other problem in America we need to address. But
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I just wonder if that was that actually part of
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: her training, having the search kids for guns.
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: I mean, the way they put it is that she
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: went through the training, like she took some of the
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: courses on how to handle this or how to handle
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: you know, if there's an active shooter situation.
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: So there's things like that.
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: She particularly went through those trainings and had that expertise
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: is what I think they're trying to say a question.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: I know it doesn't matter. I just want to know
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: for my own.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Pleasure was the assistant was black or white?
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: My own guilty pleasure, Like, I want to know she's
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: black and.
• 36:10
  Speaker 11: White and the student who did it was black?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so who was the woman with the dreads? That well,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they just had a picture up on the trend.
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: The woman with the dreads is doctor Parker, got you.
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: Yes, that's a whole other back conversation too. You know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: if she had been another race would be.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Still And that's my question where they still have blamed
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: her if she would have been another race, because this
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: is the first time I'm hearing anything like this, and
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: the fact that she could possibly get forty years seems crazy.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: But this is also the same system that locked up
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Alan Ibison when he got into his situation. Like Virginia
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: in the seventy five to seven area has been known
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: to be racist when it comes to our own like
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: it's been a known fact. And I've been to school
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: down there and I'm sure people are called and say
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: the same thing. So I just hope they're not railroading
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: this woman because she's black, and she's.
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: The first American administrator to ever go to trial for
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: something like No other teacher administrator has ever had to
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: be on trial for something like this. So to your point,
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: and it's raising a lot of questions, you're not the
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: only one questioning that it's an underlying topic right now,
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: which a lot.
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: Of people are pointing out.
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: So all right, well that's your front page news. We're

  Speaker 6: all of your success. And I hear something about the
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: number one show on Netflix.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: We are podcasting because Netflix got into the podcasting games,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: so we make up forty four percent of all podcast
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: viewing on Netflix.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: Yes, there it is because you bring the truth, real authentic.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: You're bringing it all right, do I bess?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: No, you're doing it. I love talking to you man
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: on and off air. I like getting you on air though,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: because I get longer time, I feel like I'm bothering you.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: No, you never bothered me. You never bothered me. I
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: never say no to you. And remember that absolutely, you know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: because I really love and appreciate you. I really love
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: and appreciate you a billion. All right, what's your vemo?
• 38:45
  Speaker 16: Like?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: What just happened? That's very very impressive announcements lately, and
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you're buying everything well you know this is ours BuzzFeed.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, we bought just under eleven percent ten
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: point seven percent. I like stars. You know Stars says
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: that they're going after the underserved. That's cold for black.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Don't tell anybody. So if you're going to go after us,
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: maybe we should own it all right, So if you're
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: chasing us, we should own it. So Steve Minusian used
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: to be my banker before he got into politics. He
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: was a Treasury secretary, and I saw that he owned
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: eleven percent, just under eleven percent, and I called him
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: up and I said, hey, do you want to own
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: mistake in Stars? It's publicly traded? And he said, you
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: know because I said, are you willing to sell it?
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: He said, not at these prices? And I said, well,
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: I didn't give you a price. I just asked you
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: a question. Are you willing to sell it? He said,
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: let me think about it. He called me back. He said,
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: I'll sell it for twenty five million. I said, no problem,
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: let's do it. We'll close tomorrow. So I bought it,
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: and it was a key move because it's hard to
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: buy close to eleven percent of a company without driving
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: up the price because you're buying so many shares. So
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: I was able to get it done quietly and under
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: the radar. It was a really good move for us
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: because we ended up being the second largest stockholder instantly,
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: and now we have a seat at the table. And
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: so I've made it very clear. I planned to buy
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: the whole company. I want to control that company. My
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: first preference would be to keep it public and to
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: take fifty two percent of it and just control it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: But they immediately adapted a poison pill and they said, hold.
• 40:34
  Speaker 22: Up, I saw it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: We do not want you to own this company or
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: control this company. So they took a poison pill to
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: stop me, and I said, that's okay. You know that
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: won't stop me. You'll just delay us, but we will
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: eventually get what we want. My preference is for it
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: to stay public and for me to control it fifty
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: one percent or greater. But if I have to, I'll
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: buy the whole company, fire everybody, fire the board, not
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: the people working there, to the board for resisting me,
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: and then take it back public.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: So have you reached out to somebody like fifty singles
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I fifty cent, the person who puts stars on the map.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Yes, I have not. I didn't want to put him
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: in a bad place, and you know, have him to
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: you know, figure out what side, you know, you know,
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: just let him stay neutral, which I think is a
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: smart place to stay. Let us duke it out in
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: terms of who's going to own it. Who's going to
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: control it? But I'm highly confident eventually I will control stars.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Can we can we go back to the beginning for
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: people that don't know you started off as a stand
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: up comic. Yes, and you've created such an amazing fortune.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Can you start how you started? What gave you the
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: mind frame and what made you think? You know, I
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: love comedy, but I want to go this route as well,
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: So start and start from there.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: You know what you know, thank you for asking that question.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Early on, I figured out it's not show business, it's
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: business show and I started approaching it as a business.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: And that's important to me that we approach things as
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: a business. And so that's how I started. Started from
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: my dining room table. You know, first I was a comedian,
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: started at fourteen years old. You know, as you know
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: my story, my mom got pregnant with me when she
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: was sixteen, had me seventeen days after her seventeenth birthday.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: So born to a teenage mom in Detroit, Michigan, April
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: of sixty one, born with no civil rights. And they
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: murdered Martin Luther King in April of sixty eight, and
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: we went to you know, Detroit got lit up like
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: a Christmas tree. And we ended up going to la
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: for a two week vacation and ended up staying there,
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: and you know, my mom was like, Okay, we're here,
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: We're gonna you know, we stayed on a lot of sofas,
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: slept a lot of sofas and spare bedrooms because she
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: was a single mom with a kid that she had
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: when she was seventeen. And I'm really blessed. My mom
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: is not only you know, she's brilliant and she's beautiful.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: And she ended up going to UCLA and getting her
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: master's degree and sentem a TV production. And because she
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: got her master's degree senem a TV production from one
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: of the best film schools in the world, UCLA, she
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: was able to go ask for jobs. And she went
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: all over the country asking for jobs, all over town,
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: asking for jobs and with a lot of no's. And
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: she got to NBC and she said, you know, you
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: have a job here and they said no. And she said,
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: do you have an intern program where I can work
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: here for free and show you my passion for the business.
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: And they said, no, we do not have an intern
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: program where you can work here for free. And then
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: she asked a question that changed our lives forever. She said,
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: will you please start one with me?
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: And they said yes, and that changed everything. So my
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: mom couldn't afford child here, so she took her son
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: to work with her.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: And so I would go to the studio.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: And wait for my mom to get off from work
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: in the summer and after school, and I was standing
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: there just like a little kid, wallpaper up against the wall,
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: and I'm watching this guy named Johnny Carson do the
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Tonight Show. And then I would walk across the hall
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: and I watch Red Fox tape Sanford and Son this
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: is summer of seventy five. And then I'll watch walk
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: across the Hall and watch Freddy Prince and Jack Albertson
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: do Cheek on the Man. And then I would watch
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: Bob Hope do his specials, and I would watch George
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: Burns and all of these great comedians, Richard Pryor do
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: the Flip Wilson show. I would watch Flip Wilson tape
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: his show, and I thought, what a wonderful way to
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: go through life making people laugh. So Gladys Knight and
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: the Pips had a summer show summer of seventy five,
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: and they had a comedian on it, and I knocked
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: on his door and I said, sir, how do you
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: become fourteen at the time? And I said, how do
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: you become a comedian? And he said, go to the
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: comedy Store? And I said, okay, thank you, sir, and
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: I go. What's the name of that show that you
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: said is going to be on in the fall? And
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: he said, welcome back Cotter and it was Gabe Caplan
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: and it's you know he was. That's when they introduced
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: John Travolta. And I went to the comedy store called
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: the Comedy Store, and they said, uh, we have Monday
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: night trial nights. Get here early because people they get here,
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: you know. We opened the doors at seven o'clock. I said,
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: no problem, So I took the bus. I got there
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: at nine in the morning and the doors weren't open
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: and right, and I sat there on the curb on
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: sunset and I just wrote jokes, and I just sat
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: with my pad and I wrote and all these thoughts
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: in my head and I'm just writing. And I went
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: on stage. There were literally four people in the clock right,
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: two couples, four people, two hundred chairs, and I out
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: to myself, I have to figure out how to make
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: chairs laugh. Right now, I need to figure out how
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: to get these chairs rolling. So I go up there
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: and I give everything I got. Boom boom, boom boom.
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: I come off stage and this guy says to me, hey,
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: who wrote those jokes? I said, I did.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: He goes, Can I get your phone?
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: He says, uh, you know, I know somebody may want to,
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: you know, really be interested in knowing you. I said,
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: no problem. I gave my phone number, and like a
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: week or two later, I get this phone call and
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: I go.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Guy goes, can I speak to Byron? I go, this
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: is Byron.
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: He goes, this is Jimmy at j J Walker woow.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: So this is.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: Summer of seventy five. He's the biggest comedian, television star,
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: Planet Earth, Wow, Good Times, number one show. Dine on
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: my right, dine on my So I walk into Jimmy's.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: We got to get you the photo of me fourteen
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: years old. I'm sitting in Jimmy Walker's living room and
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: summer of seventy five, and I walk in there. Right,
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: it's Jimmy Walker, David Letterman, Jay Lennel. So when I
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: sold this joke to Jimmy Walker for twenty five dollars,
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, I've never seen a check before. I
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: take it to my mom. I go, what is this?
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: And my mom's like, it's a check. I go, what
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: is a check? She goes, You're gonna take it to
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: the bank. They're gonna give you the cash. Oh, that's
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: all right, forget about it. Don't worry about it. She said,
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: what do you mean. I said, I don't want to
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: cash it.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: She goes, said, you're crazy.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: Well, this check says to me, I can make it
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: in this business.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: I want to look at this check every day. And
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: I framed it and till this day, fifty one years later, Wow,
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: it hangs in my office.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: At what point in any of those moments did you
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: realize I don't want to just be talent. I got
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: to own the machine.
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: As a kid in Detroit. I think coming from Detroit
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: really helped me a lot too. My dad worked at
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: Ford Motor Company for thirty plus years and my granddaddy
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: worked at Great Lake Steel for thirty something years. And
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: I watched these guys go to work and get to
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: work an hour early every day, never late, and never
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: called in a day sick. That blue collar mentality where
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: it was just the work ethic was just like a
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: force of nature, show up every day and give one
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: hundred and ten percent. So I was at that perfect
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: blend of seeing it from both sides. And I remember
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: my mother and my grandmother would put me in the
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: car with my uncle, who's really like my brother. He's
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: only four years older than mean Terrence, and they would
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: take us to see where all the rich white people lived,
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: and they were like, that's where the Ford family lives.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: And used to look at this big mansion, like, wow,
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: look at that. That place is bigger than my school.
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: And they were like, that's where the Dodge family lives,
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: and the Chrysler family and the good Year family, these
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: industrial families. And they said, and that's where Barry Gordy lives.
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: A black man lives over here with this big, old
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: nice house. Oh yeah, he has a swimming pool in
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: his house.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: You mean to tell me I'm walking thirty minutes to
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: get into the community swimming pool, or I'm waiting around
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: for the fire department to open up a fire hydrant
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: and this dude has a pool in his house. Oh yeah,
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: he's got a bowling alley in his house. What a
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: bowling alley. Oh my, tell me more about this guy.
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: His name is Berry Gordy, Motown Records. Blah blah blah.
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: I said, okay, there it is right there. I'm chasing him.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: I'm chasing him and I'll never forget. When he sold
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: Motown and he had every right to do it, I cried.
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: I was in the room when they announced it. He
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: was on stage and NCAA Records bought it. I was
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: back there and they had it up at Universal Studios.
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: Then I think it's sixty million, and I was like
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: a lot of money, and he's and he sold it,
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: but he kept the publishing, being the brilliant Verry Gordy
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: that he is. And I thought, my god, we have
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: to own something. As black people, we don't own anything.
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: America can't be this wealthy without us, you can't. Anybody
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: can be very wealthy with hundreds of years of free labor,
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: anybody can be a kazillionaire, but we don't own it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: And I said, we have to own something. And I decided,
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna build something that we will own. It has
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: to be owned by us. We have to control the narrative.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: We have to control how we're produced. We have to
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: control how we're depicted and how we're seeing around the world.
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: We can't let others do that. And the key to
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: that is to understand it and approach it as business show,
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: not show business. So what does that mean. I have
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: to get to know everybody who owns and operates a
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: television station, no problem. I traveled the country as a comedian,
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: and what I would do is invite all the people
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: who owned and operated television stations come to my show,
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: and if they couldn't come to my show, I go
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: to their station. Now I have to get to know
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: all the advertisers. So wherever I go, I go sit
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: down with the advertisers. Now I can put the two together.
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: And I started the company from my dining room table
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: and I put on my first show. Entertainers would buy
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: Ron Allen fall of ninety three.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: This under the Allen Media Group.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is out under Allen Media Group. It's a
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: one hour show. There's fourteen minutes of commercial time. I'll
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: keep seven minutes. You TV station, you keep seven minutes.
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: I will sell my seven minutes to national advertisers. You
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: sell your seven minutes to local advertisers. I had a
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: guy say to me, hey, if you was an ad
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: sales guy, he goes, if you clear seventy five percent
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: of the country, I will give you an advance of
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: four hundred grand so you can go into production. I said,
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: no problem. Sat at my dining room table from sun
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: up to sundown for a year, wore holes in my
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: dining room chairs, and I called all twelve hundred television
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: stations from sun up to sundown asked them to pick
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: up this once a week show for free, where I
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: would keep half of the commercial time inside the show.
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: And literally I got fifty to one hundred no's from
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: each of them, and after working through fifty thousand plus
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: nose I was able to squeeze out one hundred and
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: fifty yes's. And that was a TV station in every
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: market from New York to Warner Louiowa. And I was
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: able to then say the advertisers, look, I can give
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: you X y z percent of the country. I went
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: to the guy and said, you know what you told me,
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: if I cleared seventy five percent of the country, you
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: would give me four hundred grand. I've cleared ninety five
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: percent of the country. Some far greater than seventy five
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: whatever it was. And he said, I changed my mind.
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to give you the four hundred grand
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: and I thought, my god, I just spent a year
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: of my life building out this lineup. And what really
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: the defining moment for me was back then was my
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: mom was doing my paperwork and I remember, and she would,
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: you know, whenever I got a station cleared, she would
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: put it onto the clearance list. And I noticed, I said, Mom,
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: you didn't put down that I cleared the CBS affiliate
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: in Wilkespere, Sranton. And she's shuffling all these papers around.
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: She's shuffling, and I'm like, mom, you got to be
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: more organized, like this is.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Hard to get.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: She goes firing. They didn't it, didn't send it back.
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: So I called the guy up and I said, Bob,
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: it appears as if my executive assistant has misplaced your paperwork.
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: And he said, now, she didn't misplace it. He goes,
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: I know, I told you I would do the deal.
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: But I changed my mind. I'm not doing the deal.
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: I'm not putting you on Saturday night at eleven thirty.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: And I said, you're a good man. I said, I said.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: I said, are you serious, Bob? He said, I had
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: some sales guys in here, three of them from Paramount's studios,
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: and they came in to sell me a show, and
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: they told me I should give them your time period.
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: At eleven thirty, he said. They told me you were
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: calling me from your dining room table in your underwear,
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: your pajamas, whatever you're wearing, and that the show is
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: never going to be there, and if it is there,
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: you're going to put it on for two or three
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: weeks and then you're going to cancel the show. So
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: I gave your time period, and that is what it is,
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: and goodbye, and he hung up the phone.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Right he still he hung Call him back, right, I.
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: Said, Bob, the boys from Paramount are right. I am
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: calling you from my dining room table. The show is
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: gonna be on the air. And tell the boys from Paramount,
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: I'm never gonna cancel the show because of what they did.
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna leave the show on until the end of
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: time because I'm never gonna let the boys from Paramount
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: come into a TV station and cast doubt on me
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: and my abilities. And I never want them to convince
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: anybody in this world that I'm not gonna do what
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: I say I'm gonna do. So let the boys from
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: Paramount know you got this clearance, but you'll never get
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: another one from me based on you telling people I'm
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: not gonna come through. I'm gonna leave it on until
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: the end of time. I'm never canceling the show. Just
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: tell him that. So fast forward, kept smiling and dilan
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: dialing and smiling. Put on another show, another show, another show.
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: Next thing you know, we're sitting and there was seventy
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: something television shows, seventy five plus TV shows in business
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: with every television station in the country, and pretty much
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: seven hundred plus advertisers. Ended up with the largest privately
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: held television library. And then I realized, hey, I want
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: to go into the linear space. So then I started
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: launching cable networks so we could be twenty four to seven.
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: And then the opportunity for the Weather Channel came along.
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: God came to me and he said, hey, can I
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: have dinner with you? I said sure, I said, let's
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: have dinner. He said, I used to be the CEO
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: of a Chief operating officer of the Weather Channel. He says,
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: you don't think about the Weather Channel because you live
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: in La and it's always eighty degrees and sunny. He goes,
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: But it's a great business and you should buy it,
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: he said. It's owned by two private equity firms that
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: managed like a trillion dollars and NBC Universa, and they're
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: not getting along and they want to sell it, and
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: you should get in there and go get it. And
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: I got into the process and I bought it. And
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: after that we just started buying other assets, and that's
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: about a billion dollars buying ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox affiliates.
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: I bought those affiliates so that I could protect my
• 56:08

• 58:30
  Speaker 6: male hosts and young black men showing their butts, dancing
• 58:34
  Speaker 6: and screaming, I'm not the baby daddy. The test came back,

  Speaker 6: granddaddy Charles, That wasn't my daddy Alvin.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Those men they were all over me.
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: They were chasing me keeping My granddaddy used to sit
• 58:56
  Speaker 6: up on the porch and when I went out to
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: play in Detroit, he watched me like a hawk because
• 59:02
  Speaker 6: he knew I could get in trouble because a lot
• 59:04

  Speaker 1: latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: So Clarissa Shields is now responding to the band that
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: was placed on her by by MVP Promotions following her
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: slapping Alicia Baumgartner at the Ronda Rowsey fight. But for
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: those who don't remember, let's take a listen to the
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 9: altercation that God is here first.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, added some extra sauce that slap. I don't understand, know,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why people are upset about this situation.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Two combat fighters in each other's face, arguing, going at it,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: one fighting threads the other fighter, the other fighter slaps.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: That's the way the game like.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not in a ring, right, You're not
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: supposed to do that.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: But we see it all the time. You guys be
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: jumping each other and arthrorogers be fighting.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying, if the guys are suspended a band,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: I understand, But if the guys, if the men are
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: not suspended the band, I don't know how you just
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: do the women.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: And I hate to say that situation is much much
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: lighter than what happened in uh Detroit when they got
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: into each other face even though they was fighting, and
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: she shoved them and then there was a whole melee melee, mee.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: Get physical, and I feel like all the winds or whatever.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: Although it's not they fight like they fighters, they hit
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 9: each other.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: That wasn't even they don't fight.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 12: There's nothing that was the issue, is that right?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 9: That's what people are upset or not said, what people
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: are pushing back on even with Charlotte set up here
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: yesterday when he said that this should be fine because
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 9: they're saying they don't have a fight lined up, this
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 9: is anything promotional, But they've been.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Going back on.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 12: Itmotional because because they're fighters now.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 9: You want to see them in the round, because I did,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 9: I really want to see what Alicia Baumgartner is about. Well,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 9: Clarissa Shield spoke out yesterday. She posted another angle, more
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 9: closer up of the video because she's she says that
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 9: this is being talked to out unfairly and she's threatening
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: legal actions. She says she's dedicated her life to the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: sport of boxing. Through the grace of God, she's been blessed,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: and she says, well circulated online does not tell the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 9: full story until now. She says she doesn't condone violence,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 9: she never has. But also she doesn't condone but she's
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: not somebody that will stand in silence as she's being
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: verbally attacked, threat and discriminated against and assassinated when it
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: comes to her character, and she says she's not going
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 9: to allow the reality of disrespect to turn into a
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: narrative or talk about colorism or envy, which is which
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: some people try to turn this into the way that
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: the women look, and she.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: Says that there are attacks.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: She alleges that there are attacks by Lisha Bomgartner that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: are documented in history. And she says there's been threats
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 9: over the past four years that led up to this moment.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: So there's a.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: Different for itself between conversations and actually putting hands on
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: somebody else. Yeah, you just say that all the time.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: I can say whatever I want to you. If you
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: hit me, that's the salt, right. No, but you threaten me.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: She threatened her.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: You're telling me you're gonna beat a now you defend
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: myself right now? Then y'all keep playing like Claria don't
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: got top dog law speed dow. Y'all tell the whole down.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, she's also threatening anyone who is you know, covering
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: this inaccurately and having conversations about this and accurately shut up.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: She's saying.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: She's said that any defamation of character will be handled
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: accordingly with her legal team because and you know, on
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: the other side of Lisha Bama Gartner, Uh, there is
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: conversation about whether she will move forward legally with any
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 9: action because of the slap as well too, So you know,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 9: she's just clarified some things here.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: This is all good promotion for once they decide to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: actually get in the ring.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 8: Guy.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we'll see. We'll see what happens following this.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like you said, it's all good promotion. I agree.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 9: Now going down to Atlanta, Uh, speaking of promotions, So
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 9: Marlon Waynes and Sean Wayne's were at the Scary Movie
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 9: premiere that they did Atlanta, and they were acted on
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: the carpet about Kevin Hart's roast in the George Floyd jokes.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Let's take a listen, find the right joke is going
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: to war. There's gonna be casualties.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: And unfortunately some of the jokes didn't land the way
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: that they possibly could have. And so you know, the
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: the consequences in the quietness of the laugh.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: And we can't have controversy every time somebody tells the joke.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Every time someone tells a joke, we're killing our own culture.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 11: It's not good.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: One part comedian, one part black man.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: So you know the other part of it is if
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: you're gonna go there and make sure that joke is
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: really worth it. But for us as comedians, you know,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: we gotta keep trying. You gotta keep diving in these
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: dark waters and looking for some light. You know, there's
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: things in the movie that we decided not to put
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: in because it was like we felt like it hurt
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: the temperature of the movie. We're trying to do a
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: movie to make everybody feel good, and so some things
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: if it's gonna make people.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: Go oh that, oh, it stays with you.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want that. I want people and.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: Kevin stop doing dumb because I gotta walk this line
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: instead of talk about scaring, I gotta give your dumb
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: ass little roast.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't. I don't think nobody funny enough
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: to turn the George Floyd situation into something that will
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: make people laugh. It's so violent, tragic death at the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: hands of the police. Nothing funny at all.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 16: Not.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 9: But what I did think about yesterday I have to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 9: say in that video because I saw it yesterday too. Yo,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: what if they did a roast. I don't know who
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 9: they were roast, but what if all the Waynes were
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 9: doing the roast thing?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: Yo?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about all of them, Marlin.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: You just want to see all of them days together?

  Speaker 9: everybody like st Kim is low key funny than everybody
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: like yo, can we can we can? We imagine that,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 9: but people would have to like joke back with them.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 9: Who's gonna want to go all of them versus would.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Have to be another comedian.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, but like you all of them together, I feel
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 12: like that's kind.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Of a bit of one of the older.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean they should roast Keenan, all of the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: brothers and and Kim roast Keenan.
• 1:06:49

  Speaker 1: are about to experience what I call a great disconnect.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: You are going to have a large swath of society
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: that completely submits to the robots. They're going to completely
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: submit the AI. Those are going to be the people
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: who are proud citizens of a techno feudalist society. If
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: you don't know what techno feudalism is, please read a

  Speaker 1: great book called Techno Feudalism, What Killed Capitalism? By yah

  Speaker 1: Nas Barufakka Sucking. That's why you pronounce his name. I
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: can never pronounce. But the name of the book is
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Techno Feudalism, What Kill Capitalism. But the rest of us
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: are going to disconnect because nobody wants to spend the
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: rest of their life going on social media questioning what's
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: real or not. Okay, I'm not doing it, swiping constantly
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: asking yourself is this real? Sending links to people and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: they hitting you back like that's not real. I don't
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: have the mental and emotional bandwidth to live like that.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: And also in our line of work, the radio industry,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: there are already some things being done by AI technical stuff,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: and I hate it. Okay, because AI is not a
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: human and when it comes to the details, nothing beats
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: a human touch. All right, AI does not micromanage. Okay,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sureing AI does the basic macro stuff
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: good yet. But I don't want people using AI to
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: cut clips for breakfast club. I don't want people using
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: AI to title things and create descriptions because AI gets
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: a lot wrong. And that is why Tiffany Hernandez and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Glendale Community College you need to be at the front
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: of the congregation today because they decided to use AI
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: for something that absolutely one hundred percent needs a human touch,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: and that's the graduation ceremony. Yes, someone at Glendale Community
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: College thought it would be a great idea to have
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: AI announce the students' names, and this happens. Let's go
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: to WRIL for the report.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: Please, what a mess for everyone involved here at Glendale
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 7: Community College.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 15: Students work so hard to get to this point to.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: Get their diploma and graduate, and they say the school
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 7: should have been better prepared.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 15: Michael D. Gonzalez, The names being.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 7: Read during GCC's commencement didn't appear to match who was
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 7: walking across.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 15: Stage India Hall. Then the names at the bottom of
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 15: the screen stopped changing. Has you seen that de Mesa Jimenez?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 15: Then the screen on the left goes blank.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I was honestly just proud to be there in the moment.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 7: It was only after Grace Rymer crossed the stage and
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 7: returned to her seat that she realized something was off.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 15: Here's the photo that's her on stage. That's not our name.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 20: But I also didn't hear a lot of cheering, and
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 20: I know that my family is a pretty loud family.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: Several minutes later, Grace Marie Ryanan she finally heard her name.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 22: Yeah, that's not right, and it definitely made me feel uneasy.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 20: Here's what's happening. We're using a new AI system that's
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 20: our reader, So that is that is a lesson learned.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: For us by This story is the perfect example of
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: people using AI because they're lazy for no reason. Okay,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is the point of using AI for
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: these kids graduation? Is it really too much to ask
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: to have a couple of people stand up and read names? Okay?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Are we really just gonna let the robots have everything?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: We concerned about AI taking jobs but were given away
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: the easy ones like this. Okay, you adults are busy
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: trying to save time, maybe money, I don't know, But
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: you're completely missing the point of the moment. Graduation isn't
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: just some assembly line of things. You can't treat these
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: kids like products on a conveyor belt. Some fall off,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: some don't, Some get labeled wrong, some get labeled right,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: some get stamped, some get thrown away. This is a
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: once in a lifetime ceremony for these kids. Families drove in. Okay,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: Students spent years and thousands of dollars hustling, and you
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: turned the most personal part here in your name called
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: so you can do a little dance with some pomping circumstance, y'all.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Turn that to just the glitch in the matrix, okay,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: and the irony of this story what really bothers me.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: These schools spend years telling students, don't use chat GPT, okay,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: don't use AI to plagiarize, do the work yourself, don't
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: let AI do it for you. Then as soon as
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: it's time for the administration to do their work, they
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: bring in RTD two, RTD two two, R two D two.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: What's the thing name of R two D two? Okay?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: They bring in Wally. All right, they bringing Optimus Prime.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: They're bringing a terminator, Okay, to do all the work
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: for them. What would you do if you found out
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: your fitness trainer was secretly using thozimpics and zept but
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: was always speaking to you about the dangers of weight
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: loss drugs. Would you trust them? No, you wouldn't. Okay, Hey,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: young world generation Z. Where does AI rank in your
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: top five in regards to your growing list of resentments? Okay,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: I know, y'all, I know y'all hate hustle culture, that's
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: up there, climate change, capitalism, America being beholden the Israel.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Where does rapid unchecked integration of AI into your lives
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: and workplace rank? All right? You have a whole generation
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: who already feel like technology is replacing jobs, creativity, and
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: human connection. And this incident at Glendale Community College is
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: just another example of that. Okay, Glendale Community College, you
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: have proven that common sense is now an elective course. Okay,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: using AI to announce human names at a graduation and
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: the robot with skipping people like Spotify, skipping songs on shuffle.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: This is the problem with society. Okay. Everybody wants efficiency
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: over expense. AI can't guarantee efficiency, but happy, well paid
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: humans can. Okay, I'm not even sure AI knows what
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: efficiency is. I damn sure know that AI doesn't understand
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: empathy are the importance of a moment, And when this
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: robot messed up these kids' names, all President Tiffany Hernandez
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: and the administration could offer is the corporate classic. We
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: apologize for the inconvenience. Man, Skipping someone's name and graduation
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: is more than an inconvenience. Okay. Imagine being the first
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: person in your family to graduate college and your old
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: grandma sitting there waiting to hear your name, and she doesn't,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: and she thinks she's losing her hands because she never
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: heard your name. But she knows she saw you walk
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: across stage. Got that old lady thinking she going crazy
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: and it's your fault. This is why people are scared
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: of AI, not because the technology exists, but because humans
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: keep using it to replace moments that require actual humanity. Okay,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: some things require soul, and that's what AI will never have.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Please give President Tiffany her Nandez of Glendale Community Knowledge
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: the biggest sea hull. I see your dumb ass beige
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: wheels turning. I see them stupid ass waffle colored wheels turning.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, what is your brain thinking? Man? That
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: is the color of dirty urine?
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: Remember when Webby was up here and Webby couldn't pronounce names.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: Now those names, I see what you're doing some of
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: those names.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: That's different Now if I had to, if I had
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: to choose who to say the names, Okay, it's Webby.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: If it's me because I can't really pronounce that, well,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: if it's just hilarious, then maybe you think AI. Okay,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: if it's you, I'm going to I maybe I just
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: gotta see who else is available for us? What other
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: humans are some of them names be what other humans
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: are available?
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 9: Pronounce the people's names. I'm really good with pronouncing people's name,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: Yes i am. Then when you go to other coaches,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 9: I'm real good with pronouncement.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: That's your American name, not your Thompson's and your Jackson's.
• 1:15:58

• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: Oh my god? You made a same African?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Now y'are not by exactly. That is definitely wrong. That's
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: not right. I don't know.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: So now you're a professor robber. That sounds like somebody
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: that spit everywhere. So I get we go to the age.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Script when you scraped the bottom scripted the bottom of
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: the barrel. Webb me, yeah, jes Larry like we.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: Do, keep saying just Larry's boy, and we know nothing.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: I know how to know. They can hear you every day.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 18: Hello.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't mess people's names up. I may mess
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 9: up other things, but not people's names.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We can't even say Spanish names right, like Riviera.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: Like what are we talking about?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, playing with me?
• 1:16:56

  Speaker 9: Pronounced that girl, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, no, shut up route exactly.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: Because you said that name wrong. You cursed on the
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: radio three times. Yeah, he's not African. He's not African.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: Exactly, so that see, I can't see. We just made
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: the point we can't say any names. So that professor
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: go up there but sounded like either.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, I know AI is messed up.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: Yesterday posted a picture of Ai and cut my alm up.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: I didn't even see my alms off, only that one on.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: But you know. But but once again, for a graduation
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: ceremony that needs a human touch. Bro Okay, even if
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: you're up there mispronouncing people's names, you know you got
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: to make sure you get the names right. But that's
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: why you practice. If you know that you're doing a
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: college graduation, you practice beforehand to make sure you have
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: to produce two thousands. I don't care, I don't care
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: you excited by that name.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: You got to make sure that you pronounce their names right,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 9: two thousand names.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: It's a graduation, college graduation. That's how important a day
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: like that is. Yes, you practice pronouncing the names. If
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: you're the person pronouncing the name, by the way, that's
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: what I would do. I could do it. If I'm
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: like Batman, you give me some time to prepare, I'll
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: get it done. Okay, I just need it.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, that is his name.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: Just took you four times to figure it out. You
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: only got one shot.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: I said it right all times. But you gotta read
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: that name, slo.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that donkey today.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: Now when we come back, Byron Allen was with us
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: last hour. We're gonna play some more of that interview.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: We spoke to him for about an hour and forty minutes.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: And if you don't know who he is, he's the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: owner of the Weather Channel, the owner of BuzzFeed, Huffington Poles, Tasty, Tasty, and.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: It also Community has a new show. Another name to read.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 9: Here we go comm sudden what's this word phonetically don't don't?
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 19: She didn't go.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: She went to Baltimore Community College.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: Right the record, slow and wanting.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: Everybody is dj n V Jess Hilaris charlamae the guy.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: We are the breakfast club Long the Roses here as well.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: We's still kicking it with Byron Allen Charlama.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I know you've been you've been afl while. We've got
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: a couple more questions. No, No, you fight a lot of
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: corporate fights, right yeah, And I know you reached the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: settlement with McDonald's over the ten million dollar lawsuit that
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: you filed in twenty twenty one. You said that they
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: discriminated against black on media companies. Why do you think
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: corporate America is comfortable profiting off black culture but hesitant
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: to invest in black owners.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: Obviously, I can't speak on the McDonald's settlement, because that
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: was a ten billion dollar lawsuit, and part of the settlement.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Is don't ever speak about it again. Corporate Yeah, yeah, fighting.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: Here's what I would say. Here's what I would say
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: about white corporate America in general. The greatest trade deficit
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: in America. It's the trade deficit between white corporate America
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: and black America. And until we close that trade deficit,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 6: we cannot achieve one America, which is what Martin Luther
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 6: King died for. He was attempting to achieve one America.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: You know, Corretascott King was a friend of mine, and
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: I wanted to learn a lot about Martin Luther King,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: and I really wanted to learn through from her point
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: of view. And she said to me, Byron, they didn't
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: kill my Martin over the I Have a Dream speech.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: They killed him over the speech that he gave at
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 6: Stanford University in February of sixty eight. They murdered him
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: two months later. And in that speech, he gave that speech,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: which was the Other America, and he said in that speech,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: there are two Americas. One America has access to opportunity
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: and economic inclusion, and two Americas will not survive we
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: must achieve one America. At that point, he had already
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 6: achieved civil rights. He was pushing for economic inclusion and
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 6: education for all Americans, especially poor white Americans. And they
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 6: were like, if this dude pulls together poor white people
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 6: and black.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: People, that was the next model. Was the Poor People's Watch.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he was gonna deliver half a million poor people
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: to the nation's capital and I am I'm making a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 6: movie about that right now. And that they said, the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: generals said, if he delivers half a million poor people
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 6: to the nation's capital, this there could be an overthrow,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 6: that he could overthrow the They could be an uprising,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: he could overthrow the country. He cannot deliver half a
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: million poor people, mainly white people, to the nation's capital.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: We must kill him where he starts. So, you know,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 6: Aver Duvenet and I we're working on a she's she's
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: written on the amazing screenplay, and we're writing about the
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: whole trial of what happened and how seventy people walked
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: into a courtroom and testified as to what they did
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: to organize the murder of Martin Luther King. And after
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: twelve jurors, six men, six women, six blacks, six whites.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: Listen to this testimony. A case no one knows about
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 6: that actually happened in nineteen. The verdict came back that
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 6: the United States government murdered Martin Luther King. Wow, that's
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: the verdict. That's a trial nobody knows about. So Ava
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 6: has written an amazing screenplay. We're making a movie about it.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: But in that speech, he said, there are two Americas
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 6: and we have to achieve one America. And that's the issue.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: And I remember Coreta Scott King telling me that, and
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: I said, you and Martin, you know, because they murdered
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: him at age thirty nine. I said, you and Martin,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 6: you did more than enough. It's our term this generation
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: to achieve the fourth and final chapter. Because she said, Byron,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: as black people, we had three major challenges. Number one,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: end slavery, number two, right, number one, that's a big one. Achieve,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: you know, end slavery number two, Achieve civil rights number three,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 6: she said, and she starts to like, she starts to
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: tear up. You know, she gets she got really emotional,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 6: you know when she said, you know these are because
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: she grew up with this part that really she was
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: born picking cotton. She picked cotton as a little girl,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 6: and she used to sit on the porch and listen
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: to them talk about who got hung that she knew.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: So it was number one. I'm sorry, it was number
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: one in slavery, number two in Jim Crow. That was
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 6: really personal because the little girl, she worried every day
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: about her father being lynched. Number three achieved civil rights.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 6: And then she choked up again like she choked up
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 6: about her father. She said, number four achieved economic conclusion.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: And I said, we will deal with the fourth and
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 6: final chapter, economic inclusion. So she said, she laid it out, slavery,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 6: Jim Crow, civil rights, and it was simple. It was
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 6: clear as day when she laid it out to me.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: It's never been black or white. It's never been black white.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: We've always thought black and white. It's always been green.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 6: Green was the color, not black, not white. Why did
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 6: they bring us here from Africa? They brought us here
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: from Africa to build the wealth, the greatest wealth on
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: planet Earth. Why did they start the genocide against us?
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: Because we were freed and they did not want to
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: compete with us for the green So what did they do?
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: They started the economic genocide by using you will not
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 6: have access to education. No education, you won't have access
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: to economic inclusion, bank loans, money that's not predatory, economic inclusion,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: you won't have it. That's genocide. That's economic genocide. I
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 6: will squeeze you out through lack of education and lack
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 6: of economic inclusion. It's economic genocide. Always said, oh absolutely,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: But it was about the whole thing is money, money, money,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: don't don't compete with me for the money. And if
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: you don't have an education, you're not gonna compete with me.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: And if you don't have access to capital that's not predatory,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 6: you're not gonna compete with me. So it's just it's
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: really I brought you here to make me rich, not
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: to compete. Why would I bring you here to compete.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: I'm not giving you any of this great American economic pie.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 6: You were here to make me rich and to be
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 6: a consumer. So you have to decold all of that.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: And I've always said, they kill us in the you know,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 6: in the in the in the schoolroom by making sure
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 6: we don't get a proper education, and they kill us
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: in the boardroom by making sure we don't have economic inclusion,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: and they kill us in the courtroom by making sure
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: we don't have equal justice long before they kill us.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: In the more brothers and sisters are taken out in
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 6: that schoolroom, in that boardroom, and in that courtroom than
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 6: you can ever imagine, far greater than the ones taken
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 6: out in the streets. Those are the ones we see
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: and those we witness. And that's horribly violent, But it's
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 6: equally as as violent when you say I'm gonna make
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 6: sure you don't have a proper education, and then go.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, look at that.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: I got all these young brothers and sisters doing smashing
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: grabs and running into stores and stealing bags for fifty cents,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: made for China, made in China for fifty cents, And
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't want to hear about your crime.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: Don't talk to me about crime until you lean in
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: and you invest in education, and you make sure each
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: and every one of these kids get a proper education.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: And then you make sure each and every last one
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 6: of these kids have a pathway to be integrated into
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: corporate America, and you make sure each and every last
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 6: one of these kids are not getting thirty percent longer
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 6: sentences than their white counterparts. Do that, and then we
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: can talk about crime. But you and I both know
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: you have designed the system for us to fail. You
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: and I both know you make more money off of
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: incarceration than education, and you have structured it so that
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 6: we fail and not succeed and don't compete. So let's
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: talk about crime when you educate every kid in this
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 6: country to the fullest extent.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: We're still kicking it with Byron Allen. Yes, he was
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: on last Hour. In this hour, we spoke to him
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: about an hour forty minutes. He's very long winded, but
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: he has a lot of knowledge, but he's got so
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: much going on, so long window. But it's good information,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: it is. But he also has a lot going on,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: like you know.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: This Friday he replaced Stephen Corbert's late show with Comics Unleashed.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: He just bought BuzzFeed. He just brought the uffings and post.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: He just bought a percentage of stars bying. Got too
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: much going on, that's right, So let's get back into
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: that interview. So what is your what is your outlook?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 22: Go on?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I know you gotta go your outloking. I don't have
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: to go anywhere.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 6: I'm hanging out with you.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: What is your outlook on HBC US?
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 6: Then well, I'm a big investor in HBCUs. I am one.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 6: I am the largest. You know, I control more HBCU
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: sports than anybody. I control like ninety seven percent of
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 6: all HBCU sports. What I did was is I looked
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: at the HBCUs. Yeah, I started HBCU go. And so
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 6: I went and started buying the sports rights from these colleges.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 6: And I said, look, this is crazy, Like we are
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 6: the best talent out out there. But you know, Dion
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 6: Sanders said to me, Byron, I'm mowing the lawn at
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 6: Jackson State.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: I'm mowing the lawn. We have rat.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 6: Infested practice facilities, Okay. And I'm like, okay, this is ridiculous.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 6: So I went and bought the sports rights, started producing
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 6: the games, putting them on broadcast television, putting them on
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 6: our cable network, Degree Oh, putting them on our streaming platform.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: And I'm investing more and more are in HBCUs. I
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: want everything commensurate with what we represent. I want fifteen
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: percent of your ad budgets to go to black home media.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 6: I want fifteen percent of those chairs in these schools
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: to go to black students. Okay, this is what you know.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: When I went to Obama and you know and people
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: you know. And I really do love Obama, right, I
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: do love the brother, and I have enormous respect for him.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 6: And I didn't say a word when he was first term.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 6: When he became second term, I said, listen up, brother,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: I need a couple of things from you. This is
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: when I became critical of him. And I said, look,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: you control two things that are easy to do. All
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: you have to do is say to the banks, hey, banks,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: you're not lending money to black people. And I'm gonna
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: audit you, and I'm going to see if you're lending
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 6: money to black people. And you will see that black
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: people can't get home loans, car loans, business loans, student loans.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: That's important. Just say that, Just say you're gonna awe
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: and make them live up to the laws that are
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 6: on the books. And I said, I only need one
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: other thing from you. The government has a one trillion
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: dollar government worker pension fund, a pension fund of government
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 6: worker money. I said, I want fifteen percent of that
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: money allocated to African American investors. And I said, if
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 6: you take that one hundred and fifty billion dollars that
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: should be allocated to the African American community for investment
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: and marry it with banks. Overnight, the black community has
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: the ability to buy a trillion dollars worth of businesses.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: That puts us That changes the game. That's the fourth
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: and final chapter of Black America economic conclusion. And we
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: can't do it without education. We can't do it without
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 6: access to capital. That's not predatory. We have to be owners.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 6: The way we were in Africa, we owned it. We
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: have to be the same owners here in America.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I know what you're saying is true. I mean,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying is true because it's true.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: But you know, when you look at the Supreme Court
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: ending affirmative action and college admissions in twenty twenty three,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: and then you see, you know, black students at top schools,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: the percentage of Black students at top schools dropping because
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, you know they want to keep us
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: out of.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, absolutely, because that's the pathway to success in economic inclusion.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: You know, it's like it's a game jail. Look at
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: my CFO. He went to an HBCU, He went to
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 6: an HBCU.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: He went to Hampton. That's the best one, Okay, so
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: he went to the best one. You went there, There
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: you go, Ye, there you go.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 6: So Chris Malone went to an HPCU, but he also
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: went to Harvard and got his NBA. But I met
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: him when he was at a private equity firm managing
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 6: billions of dollars. He loaned me the money to buy
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 6: the Weather Channel. Now would he have gotten that job
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: if he didn't have that Harvard as well. So it
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 6: was great that his pedigree and his foundation is an
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 6: HBC you Hampton, But it's also great that that NBA
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: is from Harvard.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 6: He's ushering into a private equity firm. He's sitting at
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: a room where they're talking about moving billions of dollars.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Just giving people the game by it it is a game.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: You're telling them how to play.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 20: I don't.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 6: It's and this is how you and you can't play
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 6: the game. I'm not here to play the game. I'm
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: here to own the game.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: If you play the game, it's rigged for you to lose.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: If you own the game, then you own the game.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: Every day I wake up, I'm about owning the game.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: What can I buy today? Because when I buy it,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 6: I control it and when I control it, then it's
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: gonna go the way it should go. Black images will
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 6: be better, Black images will be well, be elevated in
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: a powerful, uplifting way. Right when I trust to my
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: white counterparts to do it, I'm dancing around talking about
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: look at this DNA test.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 9: Check out this DNA all right, baby, I got away
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 9: with this one.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 6: Alrighty yeah, I've never heard of a condoms. That's why
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 6: I'm worried right now. Oh yeah, baby, No, that's not
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 6: that's not it, baby, that's not it. We own the game.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: This is our moment to invest. I'm like gonna sit
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: there and I said, you know, I know if I
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 6: buy a publicly traded company, others in our community will
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 6: start thinking publicly traded and they're gonna grow them, and
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: they're gonna they're gonna invest in them. And it's a
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: pathway for us to own a piece of something as
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 6: a community. Whether it's a publicly traded company I control,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 6: or it's a publicly traded company you control or another
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 6: one that you like. You know, you'll wake up one
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 6: day you'll be the largest stockholder in iHeart. It's a
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 6: different feeling when you walk in this building and you
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 6: say I own ten percent of this place, it's a
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 6: different vibe. Next thing, you know, like I wouldn't mind
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: sitting on the board, it's a different vibe. God knows,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: they're making a bunch of money off of you. Why
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 6: not have a seat on the board. Why not have equity?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: You should be on the board to black effect. No, no, man,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: we're talking about it.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: I'll do anything to support you. But I just want
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: us to think that way. We have to beat education
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: and then we can have one America. And then when
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 6: we have one America with education and economic conclusion, guess what,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 6: you have to turn all those prisons into wear houses
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 6: for boxes and not humans. Release all the black men
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 6: and women because now you've educated them, Now you've given
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 6: them access to capital, and now we're part of the
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 6: American fiber. And now the great American tribe is even
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 6: greater because every American is positioned to bring their excellence.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: We appreciate you for joining us. You got to come
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: back more off and though you've got a lot to
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: do unions.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 6: I love you guys, I love your success. I'm going
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 6: to tell everybody Netflix twenty billion dollars.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: I want ten billion to go to them. Damn it.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: There we go of your twenty billion dollar budget. I
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 6: want ten to come here.

• 1:35:56
  Speaker 9: has generated over one point four billion views across his Facebook.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 9: He does these vertical micro dramas on his Facebook, which
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 9: I have become a really popular thing.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 12: By the way, Uh, he's.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: Done this before, right, it's not this first time hitting
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: that type of number.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but so now he's having a conversation about it,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 9: because you know you're seeing this in Hollywood a lot ister.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 9: Ray has a micro drama series. I believe it's across
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 9: TikTok as well, and it's becoming a thing. But I
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 9: saw a video that Kevin Stage did biging them up.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 9: Let's say listen.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 19: Entry, Wayne generated one point four billion views last month
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 19: with his verticals show on Facebook. Do you know how
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 19: many companies would kill seven random foxes to generate one
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 19: point four billion views to watch time, to watch hours?
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 19: However you measure content, one point four billion used to
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 19: be the goal to like, I've reached one billion lifetime.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 19: This is the fourth month he's done over a billion
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 19: views in the last six months. I think he did
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 19: it last month. The first one I think I saw
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 19: was in January, and he also did it in December.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 19: That's four billion views and four months. Do you understand
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 19: the behemoth of an enterprise For a young black man
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 19: to do this independently is insane, paying actress and producers
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 19: like crazy. That man built this empire in front of
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 19: our very eyes.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: To you Countray away? If you don't know what verticals are.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: They're like these uh these mobile they're for your phone,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: and they're like these one to three minute like soap opera,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: like the dramas, like these episodes, but it's like one minute,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: two minute, three minutes.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, but it's not a reality show. So it's not
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: based on him in his life, because that's what I
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 4: thought it was at first, But when I dove into it,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: like he has episodes, actress is microd but it seems
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: like he tapes it with one one one one camera.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: It's not like different cameras. It's just dope the way
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 4: he does it.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 9: Production team. He has a production team that he does
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 9: that with. Wayne been doing this though for years. He
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 9: was way ahead of his time with this. He started
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 9: doing this like what five six years ago. Yes, and
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 9: you're trying to get other comedians to do it too.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: These micro drama started in China, like it's austry in
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: China and country.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 9: When he says that, like Hollywood, because they know he
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 9: got the recipe to all of this, they're coming to
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 9: him trying to work with him.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 12: But he's telling him he won like five hundred like.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 9: He went a good amount of money yeah, so yeah,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 9: congratulations to him.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: What you start watching. I was watching for hours yesterday.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: I was just into it.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 9: People were like that with a lot of his content though,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 9: like people really dive into his content.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: He got the audience, and he's proven he got the audience,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: so they should pay him for his audience.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 9: And exactlyan too. All his content is clean, So that's
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 9: dopest for everybody. Well, speaking of content, there is a
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 9: conversation that is starting to pick up, so Rich Paul
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 9: was on his podcast Game Over with Max Kellerman and
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 9: they were having a conversation today that dropped Drake dropped
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 9: Iceman about whether Lebron and Drake should sit down and
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 9: have a conversation.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 12: Let's take a listen.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: Drake drops the album last night at midnight.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 18: Of course, you know, the big publicity on the record
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 18: is he goes to your guy because he's mad that Yeah, you.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: Know, yeah, I don't get into that stuff.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 16: Man.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 23: Like, at the end of the day, I think it's
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 23: important for adults really reconciled down the road.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 18: It's hard because because the nature of hip hop and
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 18: competition and hip hop is you're actually talking about the
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 18: person in a certain way and trying to diss them, right.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 6: I don't get involved in any of that.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 23: For me, it's just about allowing time to pass and
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 23: hopefully people can reconcile their differences. I do think in
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 23: any situation it's important to remove the middleman because over
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 23: time you have to let two people have an adult
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 23: conversation if it's able to get there, and and and
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 23: hopefully people reconcile their differences.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 12: Right, that Lebron's Agenny, He right.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: They just need to have a conversation to see where
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: they went wrong, because you know how the Drake covered
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: the tattoo up yet. If you haven't covered lebron tattoo
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: up yet, then you know it's it's still you say that,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: but it's the thing.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: Thought.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: And you were my bestie, like you're my best friend, right.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 4: They used to they used to have a group chat
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: with put bars in the group chat.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: You know. Lebron would come in and stay at Drake's house.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: We were friends. Then the guy that's dissing me you
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: on stage, you rap his lyrics. I would feel a way,
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: it's not real until Drake covers up to Lebron James tattoos.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: When he covers the tattoo, he did he did.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 9: It was like a video some maybe that was somebody

• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, it might not be no reconciliation. It might be over.
