• 2:02
  Speaker 1: That guy never stops. Never, Nope. When when you talk
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: about people having a bunch of irons in the fire,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he has a bunch of irons in the fire. You know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Father's Day is on Sunday. Yeah, nobody cares about us.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: We just out here, you know what I mean. We're
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: lucky if we get a happy Father's Day, maybe a car.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I thought I missed it. I was. However,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about nobody cares about all jobs. Did we
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just hate to protect and provide? I mean, that's fine,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know. I hate that. I try to buy my
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: father nice things every year and he never uses them.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Like I bought him some like brand new nice sweatsuits,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: who matching sneakers. All he does is with these old
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: promo t shirts. He refuses to wear things that I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: get him. I got him a Gucci wallet. He won't
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: use it. He uses his old wallet with a rubber
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: band tied around. He knows what's in that wallet. He
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: knows that rubber band keeps his wallet closed and safe,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so he's good. He used that car about him, though,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and he said that was too expensive. He really didn't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: want that. He brought it something a lot less. You know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: The truth to the matter is, fathers really don't want anything,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I just like to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: know that I'm loved. I like to know that I'm valued.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I like to know that I'm appreciated. There's nothing I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: really truly want, that's the truth. Though I got. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: got a beautiful wife, I got three beautiful daughters, I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: don't really I don't. I got everything I want. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: really don't want. There's nothing I want. It's not about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: what you want though. It's a gift. That's why I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like to get people gifts that they wouldn't get themselves.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great gift, Like I would have
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: never bought this for myself. Thank you. It's like a splurr.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But what if I don't. I mean, what if I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: get it and I'm like thank you, But then I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: really don't seem no use for it. It's true. Now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's a hard one because I mean anything that I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: want to get myself. So it's like it's words, it's nothing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't really need anything. Give me a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: little peace. But then I don't want to hear y'all
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: complaining about five this day. Y'all don't want nothing. Well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I just complained about it. I just complain about the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: fact that you know, nobody really truly can nobody? Can?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Maybe it's allfall Maybe it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the energy we put out out. We don't want nothing,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: we don't care about, so we get it back. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: don't know. I just try to offer all kinds of things,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: nice things. Say nothing but a bunch of stuff your daddy,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: don't they They didn't want to say he didn't want it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that he continues to wear these beat
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: up old clothes. Maybe likes I will say that I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: don't mind. I wouldn't mind a good sweatshu, That's what
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Sweats Is it like NICs and easy to wear?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm cool with a good sweacher.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in some front page news. The NBA to Hawks beat
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the seventy sixes last night one h three, one hundred,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Great game tied to two. Great game that was Clippers
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: beat the Jutah Jazz one eighteen one on four. They
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: tied that series two two, and tonight the Bucks take
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on Nets at eight thirty. I told y'all Bucks in seven.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The way it's looking right now, Bucks in six. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna still stick the Bucks in seven because I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: feel like Kevin Durant can have one monstrous game and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and and have have some help from his supporting cast
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and maybe pull one out. Maybe maybe to pull one tonight.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Did they say when James Harden or Carriage Jamie Carry
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: not playing Game five? Both of them all right now?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Dispute over a mask on Monday at a grocery store
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: led to a shootout that left an employee dead and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: two people, including a sheriff's deputy, injured. The suspect entered
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the Big Bears supermarket that was indicator and there was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: an argument with the cashier over a mask. They gave
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a few details about the argument, but said the whole
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: thing was over a face mask, and suspect then shot
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the employ employee and she died from her injuries, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: then a reserve deputy working security at the store fired
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at the suspect to return fire. Both were injured and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: taken to local hospitals. All these stories of people doing
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: too much just escalated. You told one story, or somebody
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: doing too much then told another story, or somebody doing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: too much anything else. Did y'all see the video or
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the what was it the guard at Linux More getting shot? Yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: two fifteen year olds or a boy and a girl
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: shot the security guard at Linux moll when he was
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: dressed in all black and he had the gun put
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: on my side. How crazy is that? Man? This they're
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: saying that this year is um Last year was a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: lot of shootings, but they're saying this year is already
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: outpacing last year because people first in decades are starving.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They've been they've they've been hurting financially for a year
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and some change, and they out here in these creets.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I was in Miami this weekend and I had like
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: people running up on me saying, you got to do
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: something in Miami to talk to these kids. These kids
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: are getting these PPP loans and investing in hits on folks.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I was like Jesus Christ, all right. Well, speaking of that,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they're saying this is the summer of quitting, and a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: lot of people are quitting their jobs and not coming
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: back to the office. So they said more than three
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: point nine million people quit in April, and that's the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: highest quit rate since the agency started collecting that information
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: back in two thousand. A number of job postings has
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: also hit a record high, with six hundred and ninety
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: five thousand more open positions than unemployed workers. So that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the churn right now. I guess a lot of people
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: are starting their own businesses, doing what they want to do.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You know, people are getting all kinds of benefits right now,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: so we shall see what's going to happen to get
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: people back in the workplace. They're getting those pans and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: then you know, it's the whole talk about everybody being independent,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you know, wanting to own your own thing, and a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: lot of people have pivoted during the pandemic. The one
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: person said, after a year of unprecedented stress, a lot
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of people have been also burnt out and re examining
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: how to live their lives. People have had epiphanies over
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the past year. We all want to pursue life, liberty
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and happiness, and many of us have realized our job
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is not the best way to get there. Yeah, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: people probably feel like they don't want to depend on
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: anybody else in case, you know, the bottom falls out again.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You know, last year when COVID happened, people got laid off,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they couldn't make gens meet because they didn't know how
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to make their own money on their own. So and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: these jobs ain't paying. Let's be honest. I'm not gonna
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: say that they're paying. They may not be paying what
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you want, but they're paying living wage preditory. I mean,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: some people are like, I haven't had a break in
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: ten years. You know, they got their master's degree, they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: got a good job, but they don't want to burn
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: themselves out. Quality of life is important to people. Some
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: people have gotten some good savings during this time. They
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: have financial cushions because of the stock market. You know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: there's all kinds of reasons why I always tell you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: what you could do both. It's one hundred and sixty
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: eight hours in a week, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So if you're working, let's just say forty hours a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: job somewhere, at least you know you got that, like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you got that, that little safety net, and then you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: can pursue you got you know, you got one hundred
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and forty what eight other more hours? No, twenty other more?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I wan to pursue your dream. Some people just don't
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: want it. They don't want to work they don't want
• 8:19

• 11:47
  Speaker 1: tell you why. All right, we'll get into that next.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's The Breakfast Club for the morning, The Breakfast Club Morning.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, charlomagnea god out of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rum Let's talk in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the Heights is the rumor report with Angela Yee on
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club well over the weekend and The Heights
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: made eleven point four million dollars. It did not get
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the expectations they thought it would at the box office.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: As you know, Lemmanuel Miranda actually did this movie. He's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the one that did Hamilton and John M two, who
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: directed Crazy Rich Asians, directed this movie. Now, the whole
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: point of this movie was to show that Latin Americans
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: are not a monolith, and a lot of the people
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: who were part of the cast felt like they did
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a good job as far as representation. But during an
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: interview with the Route, there were some conversations about darker
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: skin after Latino representation, and people do feel like In
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the Heights fell short of representing that. Now, talking to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the roots, Felice lay On, John M two did notice
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that they missed the mark when she questioned him, she's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a black New Yorker of Cuban descent. What are your
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the lack of black, Lacktinex people represented in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: your film? Yeah, I mean I think that that was
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: something h we talked about and UM and I needed
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to be educated about. Of course, in the end, you know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: when we were looking at the cast, we tried to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: get the people who were best for those roles, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that's specifically, and we saw a lot of people people
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like Daphne or Dasha. But I hear you on UM,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to fill those cast members with darker skin. M.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, first, first about the box office, I was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: very confused about way to watching The Heights because for
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: some reason, I thought it was on Netflix. Then I
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: saw it on HBO Max and I saw it in theaters,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So I was confused on even how to watch it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So I guess it's in theaters and on HBO, Yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: HBO Max and in theaters. And I think it kicked
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: off the Chebeca Film Festival and the Puerto Rican Day
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Parade was actually there. They kind of led the Puerto
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Rican Day Parade. They did a small one. They had
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a Puerto Rican day perrede virtual That's what I thought. Yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it was mostly red, but had a little small thing
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: within the Heights leading it. It was just a few blacks,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: all right now. Let Mamma Miranda actually wrote on social media.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I started writing in the Heights because I didn't feel seen,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and over the past twenty years, all I wanted was
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for us, all of us, to feel seen. I'm seeing
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the discussion around after Latino representation in our film this weekend,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and it is clear that many in our dark skinned
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: after Latino community don't feel sufficiently represented within it, particularly
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: among the leading roles. I can hear the hurt and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: frustration over colorism of feeling still unseen. In the feedback,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I hear that without sufficient dark skin after Latino representation,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the work feels extractive of the community we wanted so
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: much to represent with pride and joy. So he did
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: say he is truly sorry. He's learning from the feedback.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But why does that feedback have to come from social media?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Like these productions go through a lot before they hit
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the big screen, Like you know, you mean to tell
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: me that nobody saw this beforehand? Like all these folks
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that work on these productions. I mean, just in casting alone,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: someone had to see this and someone should have said something. Yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the point. But now people, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: once they've seen the movie, are responding, and there it is.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times these movies get
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it wrong too. It's like an ongoing thing, which is great.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people involved before it's actually hits
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the big screen. All right. Now, Wendy Williams and Garry
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Owen were spotted at dinner. I don't know if it
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: was a date or what, but they were at the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: reopening of Scotto's in New York City. Um and insiders
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: are saying that the two of them were having a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: good time. You know, he had a very flirtatious appearance
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: on The Wendy Williams Show, and that's why I said.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Some of this reaction has been like, Okay, what's going
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: on with the two of them? Here is Wendy Williams,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: would you like to have dinner? Because here's what I'm thinking, right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: we go to Fresco by Scotto You're gonna melt say.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying listen, I'm gonna I'm not saying yes.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: No on the air. That's how more rumors get started. Yeah,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: but I can clear this up. I got the purple
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: chair every day, that's right. So it's it's like, yeah,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you saw me ask him out. We went to Scotto,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: We had a good time. Then he took his uber
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: back to his hotel and I took you know, my
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: car back to my apartment, right, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that's awkward now. She also did an interview with Interview magazine.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon interviewed her and she opened up about life
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: after her divorce. He asked about if her being so
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: open about her private life affects her on air persona,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and she said definitely. When we were married, I was
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: very happy, but I had to make sure that when
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: he and I divorced, my life wouldn't suffer, because if
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: my life suffered, then that meant my son's life would
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: suffer too. I loved Kevin, and he loved me, but
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I was probably too much for him. I guess he
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: found somebody who was just regular and who would cater
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to his every need. I tried, but hell, I gotta
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: get up in the morning. The idea that the show
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't called the Wendy Hunter show was a big source
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of problems. As somebody called him, mister Williams, all of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a sudden, a sunny day would turn into a storm cloud.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in him, but I quickly got over that
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: because anger causes wrinkles. Now. She also talks about her
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: issues with past addictions, and she said the reason why
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Kevin had her in a sober house was because the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: girl he had an affair with was about to have
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a baby and he needed to put me someplace where
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I couldn't watch TV. He took away my phone, he
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: took away my cash, he took away everything that is
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Wendy Williams an interview magazine. All right, now, get ready
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: for some concents. So y'all ready to be back out
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and about at festivals at concerts. Well, there's gonna be
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: a three day show and Kendrick Lamar is gonna do
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a one off show leading the day in Vegas festival
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: line up. It's a three day hip hop festival that's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be in Vegas November twelfth to the fourteenth, with
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Travis Scott Teller the creator, and Kendrick Lamar as nightly headliners.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be named like Little Baby d Baby Does,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Ja Kat and Scissa also on the bill Little Uzy,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Burt Seweetie, YG, Polo, g r A Lanox, Jasmine Sullivan.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Sounds pretty dope. Now, mister Lamar doesn't just step out now,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: he does not. So if mister Lamar is headlining a show,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: when is that? It's gonna be November twelveth to the fourteenth.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They're saying it's gonna be his only live performance of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So should we assume that a new
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Kindrick Lamar project is dropping around that time? Now? The
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: festival art makes it very clear that it's going to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: be a look back at his catalog, not something to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: promote a new album, Shout your stuff all that. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: don't know though I don't sound like him drink you
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't think Kendrick would just
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: step out for no reason, even though it probably is
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a celebration of his classic catalog. I don't think he
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: would step out for no reason. It's got to be
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: something it isn't. Baby Kame on that lineup too, Baby
• 18:12

  Speaker 1: Bucks and seven. Mind, let's go nets about this. It'll

  Speaker 1: probably be Bucks in six, but I'm still say Bucks

• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, you're out of your minds tell us
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the story about Chattanooga. I mean DC, go all right now.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: A viral video of a young black woman being dragged
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: out of Nelly's sports bar sparked a protest on Sunday
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: night and caused the boycott the establishment. Keisha Young, she's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a twenty two year old Kyle, the student at Morgan
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: State University, has identified herself as the woman in that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: viral video. It shows the security guard dragging her down
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the stairs head first, and it's not clear from the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: video why she was dragged down the stairs and removed. Now,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: on Monday, Nellies did say they fired the independent security
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: vendor that they hired for Pride to Week and they
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: are investigating the matter. They said it's ongoing and we
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: will cooperate with any law enforcement investigation. However, we do
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: not need to wait for the investigations conclusion before we
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: take the size of action. We offer a heartfelt apology
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to all who witnessed the horrific events of this past weekend.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: No matter what behavior occurred prior, nothing warrants mistreating and
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: disrespecting one of our guests here is what Keisha Young
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: had to say. It was altercation in there and they
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: were trying to get some other people out because somebody
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: else were a bottle in there. Somehow I got mixed
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: up in an altercation because I looked like body else
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and I got a right step, but I didn't do
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong and just first walking up the steps and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: getting drying right right now, that is so crazy. Yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I love those brothers who jumped on that security guard.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care what that since to did. It was
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: another way for security to handle that. If you see
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: it one being dragged down the steps by her hair,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you should absolutely positively intervene. Absolutely come on, that could
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: be your your your mother, your sister, your daughter, you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: your friend, like come on that establishment day. I know
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they fired security, but they should pay for that. That
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: young ladies. That young woman's college. She's at Morgan State.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many years she has left paid
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: for that and set her up for the future. She
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: was embarrassed, she was dragged out your establishment. That video
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: with viral. She's gonna have some type of trauma. Take
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: care of that woman. She didn't know a lawsuit and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: she will face against the security guard, and this is
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: not the first time Nellie has come under fire for concerns.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: The activist group No Justice, No Pride organized the boycott
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen after patrons noticed a blue Live Matter
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: flag flying above the establishment, and they did apologize after
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that too, And so they learned a lesson about racial
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: inclusivity and they were planning to make this space more welcoming.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And that's a that's emotional trauma she has to live
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: with forever. You know how many years of therapy she's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: gonna have to go through just having to relive that
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: moment over and old, especially because it's viral. No urban,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: no nobody black or minority should go to that establishment.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: This should be no DJ that should be allowed the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: DJ and that establishment, no artist performing that establishment. And today,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: take care of that young lady, all right. Now. So
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a woman in South Africa has reportedly given birth to
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: ten babies at one time. Yes, and that's a new
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: world record. She actually gave natural birth for five of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: those ten and then five vs a Syrian section. I
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: don't believe it she did. And that was that was
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: no vtro none of that that was just naturally. I
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: don't know, you know, what she did. But to the tense,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: sure you get the story? You sure you don't have
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: ten kids boys and three girls. I am emotional. I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: can't talk much. If you see the picture of her hers,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, how much of these kids were individually? They
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: gotta be small, gotta be like one pound, two pounds.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: This one South African official confirmed the birth to the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: BBC and so, yes, how do you feed all? You
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: cannot possibly breasthfeed all those babies. Human is not possible.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Cannot physically breastfeed ten children. And they beat out that
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: couple that day they have a show. Yeah, there's a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: couple that has a show one I believe it's TLC
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: or one of them shows. And they have let let
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: me get their name, Dion de Rico, the d Rico family.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: What about Optimon How many she had eight? Right? She
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: has eight? But her husbands in Vitro, the Drico family did.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: All is natural, but not at one time though one time?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well, last month another woman gave breath to
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: nine babies at one time. Yeah, optimm kids should be
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: grown now, honey, what a reality show? All right? Well
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that is your friend? Is the Optikids reality show? Why
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: are you so obsessed with the optimon? I'm just asking, like,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I want to know what those kids that I want
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to hear the story. They should be old enough to
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: talk now, right, I'm so sure. Yeah, I'm sure they
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: can speak now. It's actually your optimon kids now really? Oh?

  Speaker 1: Did that make sense? Where are you right? You don't
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: have a You don't have a lactose intolerance right now,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I do not have a lactose intolerance. My stomach is
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: definitely not right though I've been mil prepping, so you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I'm on this uh this green and like a protein.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm definitely I'm definitely running back and forth a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: little bit. I'm in Budapest. What do you feeling out good?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling a movie called Borderlands, a movie for a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: lions Gate based off of a video game, A very
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: successful video game that has Borderlands one, two three. I mean,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: they got about between fifty to eighty million users that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: actively play this game and they decided to create a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: movie out of it. So it's myself, Kate Blanchet, Jamie
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Lee Curtis, and Jack black Um. We are the leads
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: of the movie Ariana Flow. I mean, we got a
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: great cast directed by Eli roth Um. It's good. It's exciting.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Something else that uh that I can throw my audience
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: on a loop with. It's for people that don't know
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: how is budape You have to describe it because I've
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: never been there, So like, what is Budapest. Budapec is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in Hungary and it's two separate places, so you have
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Buddha and Pest. It's actually separated, so you yeah, then
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: on the other side is pest. But the scenery out here,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the architecture out here. The history is unreal. So the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: locations that you find the film in a are just
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: like nothing you'll ever see. You know, it's a it's
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a movie that's kind of got a sci fi twist
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to it, So these locations play a very significant part.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Is that the movie you were training with Navy sales for. Yeah,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I am responsible for all acts in this movie. I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: am playing the character called Rolling and Rolling is a soldier.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: So the director of one of the thirty audience for
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the Luke he wanted to cast me, and in casting me,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: we agree that I would take this uh serious and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: goal completely different route. So I trained with some Navy seals.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I did some high intensity weapons training and really got
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: down with military. So in this I really am the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: role of a soldier. I'm combat hand to hand weapons,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So I can't wait, you know, for people
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to see it because it's it's gonna act, It's gonna
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: have an that's what we wanted with the part. That
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is very exciting though, to be able to have those abilities. Now, yeah,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: somebody else, I know, I didn't miss the Budapest was
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the last time you see the babies, the kids, But
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they're out here with me. I have come out here
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: with me. Man, Yes, one school he's got my don't enough,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you notice, But Kevin has a lot of money and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he can. Yea. Once uh, one school stopped, I had
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the family come out, you know. I mean, when you
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to film in these type of places,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's important to try to give your kids
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: experiences that they can hold on too. So my kids
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: love working on sets when I'm on sets. Uh, my
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: daughters in turning for me right now. My son, he's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in love with the world of action and stunt development
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and choreography. So I had my son come out work
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: with the stunt team a little bit, just and learning
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: and understanding and just watching what I do. So it's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: it's one thing just to see the start that's attached
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to the dad. It's another to really understand the work
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that goes into it. So I've I've worked very hard
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: on just make sure that my kids understand how movies
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: are made, how they break down, and how significant the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: roles are that the entire crew and cast play. In
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: this case, they get to see it firsthand. But it's uh,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: it's a great time, you know, this movie. This movie, Fatherhood,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: is one that's very near and dear to my heart.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's a true story based off of this guy named
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Matt Loglan and a crazy turn of events that he
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: had in life. You know, he was married, him and
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: his wife were at the happiest point of their lives.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: She was about to deliver a baby. After delivering the baby,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: his wife passed away on the delivery table and it
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: sent him in a you know, a crazy whirlwind where
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to live. He didn't know what his
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: purpose was in life. And the journey of his progression
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: as a father and his love for his little girl
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: through that progression is a story that he wanted to tell,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and it is one that we put on paper and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: u and made a movie about. And you know, when
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I found out about the movie and the role, I
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: wanted to make some changes to it, of course, but
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I wanted to stay as close to his story as possible.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And we all agreed on the changes. And I loved
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the story and the opportunity because I felt it was
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the best It was the best time to change the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: narrative attached to a black man as a father, you know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: on the big screen, when we're portrayed on the big screen.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: We're always on drugs, off drugs, in jail, out of jail,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: not around, can't be found, or we show up last minute,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and it's a story of why. And you know, this
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: is one that kind of has a positive, positive message
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and through story right where you root for this guy.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: You understand the guy, but the love between he and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: his child are would really give him reason and want
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to go on. So it's a drama, it's a it's
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a real it's a real change for me. It's something
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that my artist is going to see and once again
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to go, Wow, it's me checking another
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: box in my career and just trying to stay on
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that road to progression. So I'm excited for people to
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: see it. It's going down the jailer bear jerker just
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: watching all of that and it brings up so many things,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: like we've been talking a lot about maternal healthcare too
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: right and women dying you know, during childbirth, after childbirth,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and how dangerous that is, especially for Black women. That's
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: something that we've been having all of conversations about. And then,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: of course, like you said, just being a single father
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and raising your daughter. What kind of connections did you
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: have with your on screen daughter while you guys were filming.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: It's insane because a lot of the emotional strings that
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I had to tug and pour from, you know, I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: put myself as close to the position that Matt was in,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and you know, I can only imagine. I can't, I
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: can't imagine, but I tried to, you know, put some
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: type of picture in my head as to what it
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: would be like if if it were me, if it
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: were me and my little girl, And you know, a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: lot of those tear joking moments or because it's real,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: it was real for me in those scenes. And and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I really I really went there by thinking along those lines.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And you know, Melody, my co star in this film,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: A little girl, She was so good, and our chemistry
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: on camera and off it just kept getting stronger and
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: stronger because we spent a lot of time together. But
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that bond, that bond on between a father and daughter
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: or just a child in general, when worked, it's unbreakable.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: It's a bond like no other man. And I can
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: say for me, I use a lot of my real
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: life experiences as a parent to pull those emotions to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: help me stay true to this storyline and make sure
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: that I was in the grounded space of reality where
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: people can believe and really relate, and I can say confidently,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: this is my best performance on screen in my career.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: This is this is, pound for pound, the best work
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: as an actor that I've done thus far in this movie.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: All Right, we got move with Kevin Hart. When we
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning. Everybody
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomie n the guy. We
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kevin Hart. Now,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: how do you balance being a dad in all the
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: work you do? Right? Because when we're coming up to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you want to make as much money as possible to
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: support your family, right, But then when you make money,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: it's never enough. But then you look at your kids
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I have enough money to chill, but
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I still wanted to continue to make money. So how
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: do you balance the I'm a dad and then I
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: need to make all this money because I'm setting up
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a future for legacy. How do you balance that? I
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: think that all of those tiers that you just talked
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: about are ones that you have to experience ultimately to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: get to the point when you see what's really important,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: right and as a guy that chases after success harder
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: than anything that chases after w's multiple wins, that wants
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it in all aspects. When it comes to this thing
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and family, you get to a weird space where you
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: start to understand at the time that you think you're
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: given to your family isn't as much time as you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: could be given. And you then go, you know, what,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I need to prioritize my family the same way that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I prioritize my will and want a success. And it's
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: it's a weird thing because you feel like, well, if
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I don't hustle and I'm not chasing after it, I
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: can't get the money to take care of my family,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: which is true, which is why you need some success
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to make you see and understand what that is and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: what that feels like. But when it boils down to it,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: time can't be replaced and you can't get back. And
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: as you get older you realize that and that time
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: that you kind of miss with those kids, you can
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: look back on it and go, damn, you know, I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: missed a lot. You know, even though I was around,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I missed a lot. You get to a place of
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: just understanding the time is what's most important and that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: happiness that we're all searching for. It boils down to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: a place of the people that you're giving your time
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: too and that you're giving that energy to. So I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: got to a place of understanding that that's what really matters.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: The money's great, the success is right, but you know
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I was in that room in a hospital that money
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: and success wasn't there. You just got the people that
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Connor are with you and that matter in that box
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: with you. So when it comes down to you being
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: in that box, or when it comes down to anything
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: happening that puts you in a position of a box,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: who are those people that you're gonna share that with it?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Who are gonna be there with And that's where I
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: prioritize my energy and effort now, like in making sure
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: they know their worth, they know their value. And I'm
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm about to be forty two still figuring
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it out. It's a never ending puzzle game that you
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: gotta just learn how to play correctly. And it's the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: best for me as a as a father, as a
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: husband of figuring it out is new there's no handbook
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that comes with it, there's no tutorial, there's no study guide.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: You got to figure it out as you go. Now, Kevin,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: just to shift gears for a second. A big topic attimplate.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: We saw a Cat Williams and Segi dentity and that
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: going back and forth about stealing jokes, right, And it's
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: a fine line because sometimes there's certain themes that are
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: very common and you might feel like somebody took something
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: of yours, but it could be just that they had
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a similar joke. Has that ever happened to you where
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you felt like, did this person still my joke? Or
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: is it a coincidence? You're you're in a pool where
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you got a million comedians and you know, I hate
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to say it, it's sad, but what what what material
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: is that original today that that you haven't heard? Uh?
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: In rendition up? You know, we we all are doing
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: our best to make things our own, but you know
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it's the it's the same topics for each of us.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Right in the case where I've had things that have
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: been similar and I've seen somebody do something in a
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: new one, you know, move on from it. It's not
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it's not that serious. I've never made it that serious,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and I never would. You know, it's it's it's it's
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: too many of us. There's too many of us out there,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: and because of that, you know, you have to be
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: understanding too. Sometimes it can be accidental. Sometimes it's not malicious. Now,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: if somebody's out there they're doing what you said word
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: for word, that's just that's just a blatant level of stealing.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: But if it's the same topic sometimes and people have
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: done it, I've never looked that deep into it. But
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: that's another reason why I try my best not to
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: watch comedy. I don't. I don't really watch a lot
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: of comedy. I produce a lot. I make sure that
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I develop a lot, but I don't sit back and
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: watch it because I don't want to be in the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: same space of another comedian's ideas or another comedians thoughts.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: So I try to remove myself from that. It's best
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that I can. You think the world is getting soft,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: And and the reason I say that is, I know
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you're a big basketball fan, and you watch basketball now
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and everybody gets a brown and they've gone out the game.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: You know, if a comedian makes a joke, they want
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to care with cancer coaches so fast. Do you think
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: everybody getting too sensitive and too sol I mean, look,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: it's a conversation that can go either way. And and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: do I understand the reason for some of the conversations
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: that have been had and the changes that need to
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: be made. Absolutely. Do I think that we all need
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: to raise the bar on simply respecting and understanding one
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: another and understanding the lines that that shouldn't be crossed
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: or or or that can be crossed. Absolutely, But do
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I also think that there's a world where, umre we're
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: losing the idea of what a joke is or what
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the intent of a joke is done for right, Like
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: it's it's not done with the intent and purpose to hurt,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: is done with the intent to get a laugh. And
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the risk in doing that is sometimes you don't get
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: a laugh. That's the risk, that's the biggest risk. The
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: reward is is getting a laugh. I think that it's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: up to our job now is talent to just understand
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: the respect level that we're supposed to have for people
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: in general and trying to you know, trying to do
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: our best and be an example of the change that
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: we want to see within our world. I will say
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: that flat out. Now. Everything doesn't need to become a conversation,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Everything doesn't need to become a war of opinions. I
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: think people are just forgetting that. It's very easy to
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: just not support something. It's very easy to not be
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: a fan. It's very easy to change the channel. It's
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: very easy to not watch that movie. It's very easy
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: to say that this person isn't for me. I think
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: we forgot that. And the same way, like it's easy
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: for you to make that decision, it's very easy for
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: other people to make the decision of Like, it's very easy.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Some people like coffee, some people like tea. It's a choice.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: It's it doesn't matter, it's not it's not going serious.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: And I think we're we're forgetting about the decision. We're
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: forgetting that just because you don't like it, it doesn't
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: mean that you have to voice or express your level
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: of dislike in a way to where it now is destructive,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: in a way to where it's now offsetting to others
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: that doe like that now creates this conflict that sometimes
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't need to be had. So you know, I think
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: eventually we'll get back to a place of just remembering
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: who your fans of and who you are right, It's
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's very simple. I mean, I don't dislike country music,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: but I've never listened to it. It doesn't mean that
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I that I'm not a fan of it. But I can't.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you a song. I can't. I can't.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you his music. I know
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: who did? I know you know the song that was
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: a hit. But I'm saying it doesn't mean I didn't
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: like it. It's just not for me. I've made the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: choice to say that's not my cup of tea. It's
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. It like, it's nothing wrong with
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: making those choices. So it's like there's this big divide
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and everything today there has to be a conflict of divide.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's me versus you. And if you don't like
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm telling you you should like, then you stupid
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: and well I don't get it if you can mispectfully disagree, Yeah,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: like you you think it funny? You dumb? He's he
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the funniest he not. It doesn't what what, It doesn't matter.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: It's a person to person choice, all right, What movie
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: got mover? Kevin R. When we come back. It's the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Cloubal Morning the Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Charlomne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: kicking it with Kevin Hart Ye. I saw that I'm
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Bill maher situation where he waited on something that you
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: said about white power and being at an all time high.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: He took it very literally and very literally. I meant
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: what I said, though I wasn't wrong about about what
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I said. It wasn't a thing. And if he felt
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: that I was, that's fine for him. But Bill Mark
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: can't speak from a position of knowing what the black
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: community is going through still today, like you can't speak
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: from a position of never experiencing and never being a
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: part of and acting as if you do and if
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: you have right where I mean. I looked at the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: video of to Day with more cops beating the young
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: guy's ass. They broke this kid's ribs, eight of them
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: holding them down. The damn the ribs. It's still happening.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: So to my point of what I was saying to
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher, there is a high level of white privilege
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: that we're still seeing on display. There's a high level
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: and it's at an all time high in today. It
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: is in today, we're still experiencing it as if it's
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: no consequence. To me, that still seems like the white
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: privilege that we're speaking of. If we're saying, oh god,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: these senseless murders are happening, Oh my god, this black
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: man died, Oh my god, this black man was killed,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, this black was killed, and then you
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: still continue to see it. It's almost as if, so what,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: there's no consequences. So that's what I'm speaking of. When
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: you see the white women that are now confident, we're
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: saying to black people and black women, you know, you
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: go back, you black. It's a reason for that, that
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: confidence that I can do this and there is no consequence,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: is what I was speaking on behalf of. So for
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Bill Maher to act as if he's ignorant or blind
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: to that, I thought it was ridiculous. I didn't think
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: that that made sense. We're witnessing that we shouldn't be
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: seeing in today's time. That's what I'm saying, Bill, You
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: know that, Yeah, everything that you ever think. He goes
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: back and forth and sesting the gas like you to
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: get this conversation to get that, well, I don't. I mean,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I'm the wrong person to do it because I'm not
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna give it that much energy. This
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: is just of making sure that people in general understand
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: what what just needs to be would need needs to
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: be verbally said on a regular right. And that's if
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: the goal in the world, this is very simple to me.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: If the goal in the world is about equality, right,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: that means we have to understand the unfair gap in
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: between that's prohibiting, that's prohibiting the surge of equality that
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: we're all looking for. Right because we feel like there's
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: a significant disadvantage. We're starting way from behind, and we're
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: not getting any help to close the gat. So because
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: of that, we're frustrated, we're angry. Because of that, we
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: feel like we're being suppressed. Still, that's a part of
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: the problem. Help us close that gat. This is what minorities,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: black and brown people, this is what we're talking about about.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: From the start, there was a significant advantage for the
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: white culture. You started out way ahead. There's no reason
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: why I'm still giving financial financial advice and black communities
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: about a checking and a savings account, because all we
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: have is check cash in places and licks stores. That's
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: not a coincidence. We're set up to lose, We're I
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: set up to win. So when you get older and
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: you start to see this, you speak on it so
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that you can try to make other people more aware.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: That's that's all it is. So when you say things
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: that show that you're still unaware, by going back and
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: making a reference like you did and taking MODI said
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: so literal and equating it to the days of you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: of waterfounds for blacks and hosing black people down and
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: sicking dogs on them while you're making my point. You're
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: making my point, but you know it's it's It's one
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: where I think we are seeing more corporations take responsibility
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: and making sure that they have a diverse identity in
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the house. We're seeing more board changes where there's black
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: personnel that's being involved. You know, in a lot of
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: the place of business that I play and entertainment, I'm
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: seeing much more color on sets, much more opportunity. We're
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: seeing women progress, We're seeing change, Yes we are, but
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: is it anywhere near where it needs to be? Yet? No,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: it's not where it needs to be. What are you
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: telling your son back to fatherhood. What do you tell
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: your son Now he's a teenager, he's about to get
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: his license, he's about to start driving, he's about to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: get on the road, And you know, what do you
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: tell your son? I know the neighborhood that I live in,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and seeing me drive to that neighborhood is okay because
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: of who I am, right, But they don't know my son,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: they don't know my daughter. Right, So the attachment to
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: my child and whatever vehicle is not the same as
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: if it's me, And those conversations with cops are different.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: They are they are different. I don't care, I don't
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: care what you say. It's not the same. It's not
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the same in any way, shape or form. The questions,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the assumption of what are you doing here? Why are
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: you here? What are you doing? Those questions are real.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: So when you act as if they aren't, and when
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: you act as if it's not, as if it's not
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: a true matter that really needs to be not just handled,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: not just addressed, but change for the comfort, for the
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: comfort and safety of people and their loved ones and
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: their kids. Like that's a real thing. The gamble of
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: all right, man, my baby driving this car at night
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: they're going to said thing, Please, God, don't let nobody
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: stop them at night, and think it's a situation where
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: you know, they go to ask for papers and registration
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: and my kids the one that reaches and it becomes
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: why are we thinking like that? Why? Why is that?
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Why is that the immediate thought? And is that even
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: a thought for the other side? It's not not. And
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. That's what we're saying. It's a problem.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: That's what we're saying is an issue. And that's the
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: frustrating thing that I think that I think the high
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: volume aren't truly allowing. You're not letting it register, You're
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: not letting the discomfort register through the real actions that
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: we're seeing on display. And yes, the internet can take
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: it and blow things up and and and you know,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: we see a lot more than maybe we would have
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: ever seen. But I swear to God, it is a
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: consistency behind the same narrative. That's a problem. That's what
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking on. Nothing more. You know, during the pandemic,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I've seen you picked a bike riding. Yeah, now what
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: got you on the bike? When do you come into
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: New Jersey to do some real riding? Up up the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: real hills, not not the flat lands that y'all do
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: in La. No. You know we got cannons, we we
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: got we got some real kids. We got real kids out.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Friends told me was out. You wasn't like a hill
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: hilly hill guy Shaffer Shaeffer right now is Shaffer honestly
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: was in the space where I wasn't with Shape. I said, Shape,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave you alone, and I'm ready. But you
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: know I can go do it comfortable. I can put
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: up anywhere between the twenty seven and thirty thirty two
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: thirty four with some with some hills and stuff in it. Now,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you know, if you guys got a crazy cadence and
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and you know y'all got a different rehythm. You know,
• 49:39

  Speaker 1: with saying get me to text me to tram. So
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I got I got the pack, I got everything I need,
• 49:48

• 49:51
  Speaker 1: If I'm out with some people that need to go,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: you go. But what I like the calm that's attached
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: to it, Like I'm I'm looking for the hobbies that
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: act as uh as as a meditation. You know what
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like the same thing that running was for me.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Running is you yourself and and just a calm. That
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: bike is the same thing. You get out there with
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: a nice group. Everybody ride that. When the trail you
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: go on, the road you go on. If you're out
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: there at the right time, it feels like it's just you.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: You get to be in your own space. Man. And
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I just like, I like shutting off. And that's that's
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: what you have. Those jail shorts. I go the whole nine.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I'm out. They make fun of me all the time.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you need the jail shorts. And as I'm
• 50:38

• 50:45
  Speaker 1: confident I'm good. And when you guys get off the bike,
• 50:49

• 58:45
  Speaker 1: She is the daughter in law of the format twice
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: in peat celebrity in chief of the United States of America.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: And it's safe to say Fox News is willing to
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: use the Trump name for ratings regardless if there's a
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Donald in front of it or not. Okay, if it
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: believes it leads. If it's Trump ratings jump. Hey, let's
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: just be honest with each other, Okay, whether you agree
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: or disagree with anything that comes out of a Trump's mouth.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: They moved a needle. Okay, I don't even know what
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: that means, but it's provocative. It gets to people going.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: And Laura Trump is no different. Okay. She was on
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Fox News and her appearance, well, it got the people going.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: What was she talking about? Well, she was discussing border security,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: and what did she say, Well, let's just say she
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: chose violence for five hundred Alex. Let's go to Fox
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: News for the report. It's graceful to see. And I
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: don't know what you tell the people that live at
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: the southern border. I guess they better arm up and
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: get guns and be ready, and maybe they're gonna have
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: to start taking matters into their own hands. It should
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: never happen. These people should never make this dangerous journey here.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Let's listen to that one more time. She's talking about
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: she's talking about border security, okay, and then what she
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: thinks should happen to migrants. I guess listen, it's graceful
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: to see. And I don't know what you tell the
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: people that live at the southern border. I guess they
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: better arm up and get guns and are you ready?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: And maybe they're gonna have to start taking matters into
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: their own hands. It should never happen. These people should
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: never make this dangerous journey here. This is where we are,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: this is where we are. It's awful. This is who
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: we are, this is what we are. America. Gotta stop
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: lying to yourself. I know, I know, we love to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: say America was built on faith and freedom, But the
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: reality is America was built on violence, good old fashioned
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: white violence. There's a great book written by Herbert Shapiro
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: titled White Violence in Black Response from Reconstruction to Montgomery,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: And in the book, Herbert speaks on the fact that
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: we are taught that America is a society based on
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: respect for the law and orderly procedures, and that the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Constitution stands as a safeguard of individual freedom, and the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: courts and the police is supposedly established there and forced
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: the law. When a controversial issue arises in the American fabric,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: it is to be resolved not in the streets, but
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: through the democratic processes of elections. I think we all
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: have been alive enough to know that this may be
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: true for some, but not for everybody, Okay. Herbert Shapirol
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: also says in the book, the courts have most often
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: stood silent in the face of racist violence, or I
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: have turned their wrath against the victims, not the perpetrators.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: The police have protected the mob rather than the mobs,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: and if often either, aid of the lynchures are displayed
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: amazing inability to identify them. Where race is concerned legislative
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: about judicial action to deal with controversial issues has often
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: come late and been partial in nature, while white violence
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: has continue to terrorize Black Americans without hinderance. This is true,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: but it's not just true for Black Americans. The same
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: rule applies for anyone who isn't white. And Laura Trump
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: just proved that. This is why I'm talking about her
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: but Shapiro's book this morning, because this is what he's
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: talking about, violence generated by white racism and news media
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: and other institutions that fail to educate Americans about the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: oppressive social conditions that have root in these criminal acts. Okay.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Herbert also discusses the irony of America associating violence as
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: a behavior of black people when we all know in
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: the history of America, white racism has generated more violence
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: than anything Black people have ever done are thought about doing.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, can you imagine if a black broadcast
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: that got on TV and said that black people need
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: to pick up arms and take matters into their own
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: hands in regards to anything we don't like. What's crazy
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: is the migrants aren't doing anything but seeking a better life.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: It's not like they're coming across the border and breaking
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: into people's homes that live on the border, at least
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: not that I know of. If that was the case,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: by all means protect yourself, protect your family, protect your home.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: That's what the Second Amendment is for. That's why I say,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: when you're black, owning a legal firearm in America is
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: a form of self care. But Laura Trump didn't tell
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: people to take up arms because they're under attack or
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: because their lives are being threatened. She's simply telling folks
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: to take up arms because she doesn't want migrants crossing
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: the border. Imagine if I told black people are any
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: oppressed group, they better arm up and get guns and
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: be ready and maybe they will have to take matters
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: into their own hands. Is to take matters in your
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: own hands. Part. Do you realize what would happen if
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: for press people in this country that what took up
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: arms and took matters in their own hands. Since the
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: government and other institutions in this country of never wanted
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: to give us real justice, can you imagine this type
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: of call the action geared towards white supremacy and racist
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: institutions in America? Can you imagine a black Latino person
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: on TV calling for oppressed people to get guns and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: take matters in their own hands. In regards to a
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: group of people, what's crazy about this is, you know,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: it's a blatant direct call to shoot migrants crossing the border.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: But if someone at the borders to actually take Lara
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Trump's advice, she would say she didn't mean it like that.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: She would blame it on fake news, even though we
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: all heard of, you know, the privilege amongst us don't
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: do accountability. And what Lara Trump did is a stotastic
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: terrorism atters fine, it's the public demonization of a personal
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: group resulting in the instatement of a violet act. Okay,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Lara Trump knows exactly what she's doing and why she's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: doing it. A matter of fact. Played play the clip again, dramas,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: play one more time. It's graceful to see. And I
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: don't know what you tell the people that live at
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the southern border. Stop right then, stop right there, stop
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: right there. I don't know what you tell the people
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: that live at the southern border, Laura. That's where you
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: should have left it. That's where anyone should leave it
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: when they simply don't know what to say. When you
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: don't know what you should say. The best thing to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: say is nothing at all, because catch right, because silence
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: can never be misquoted as soon as your mind says
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say, I don't know what
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: to tell you, leave it, okay. We live in this
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: era where people feel like they have to speak, they
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: have to be heard, but you should not talk unless
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: you can improve the silence. Please let Cathy Griffin give
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Laura Trump the biggest he hall. Please give this giant
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Jaral Male the biggest he hall man. What's so sad
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: is that who wants to really have to leave the
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: place where they were born, they've known their whole lives.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to have to do that. It's a dire situation.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Like they said, it's dangerous, and a lot of times
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: people are even sending their kids right because they want
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: to make sure that their children get a better life,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: because they have a better chance of their children being
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: able to get in and seeking asylum than whole families.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: It's a difficult, awful decision to have to make. The
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: journey is already a death sentence, right. It's something that
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: you may not make it, make it through, and then
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: when you get here, you get shot imagine being so
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: scared for your lif that you send your children without
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: you because you want to make sure that they're okay,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: and then you try to meet it. That's awful. And
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know what to do with
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: the border. I'm not sitting here hacking like I have,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the plan to get the border in order.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: I just know shooting them it's not the answer, not
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: at all. All right, Well, thank you for that donkey
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: of the day. Now when we come back, who we
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: kicking it with? Oh my god. Pernil Joseph. Doctor Pernil
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Joseph is an author. He wrote a book that I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: read called The Sword and the Shield, The Revolutionary lives
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Junior. And I
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: personally have never seen Malcolm X and Martin Luther King
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Junior humanized in the way that doctor Pernil Joseph humanized
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: them in this book. It's an amazing read and it's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: been out for like a year. I'm late on it.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I just read it this year. But I can't wait
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: to talk to doctor Pernil Joseph all about it. Yeah,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: the brothers from Queens, New York. We're gonna talk to
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: him when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is Steve j Envy, Angela Yee,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. We got
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: a special guest with us this morning, Doctor Panel Joseph.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Now I just found out it from Queens, New York. Yes, absolutely.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: I read an amazing book called The Sword and the Shield,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: written by Doctor Panel Joseph. One of the best books
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: I've ever read. I got around to it about a
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: year later. I know it came out last year in March,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: but I got to it about a year late. But
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: it really explores the revolutionary lives of doctor Martin Luther
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: King Junior and brother Malcolm X in a very humanizing way,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: like like what made you want to explore them the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: way that you did? Well, I've always you know, I'm
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: gonna say what Muhammad Ali said about Malcolm X. He said,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: I fell in love with Malcolm X when he was
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: debating people and talking to people about black history. So
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I fell in love with Malcolm X by the time
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: I was eight, nine, ten years old. The Eyes on
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: the Prize documentary series came out, and this is before
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Denzel's brilliant movie came out in nineteen ninety two. I
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: was nineteen when the movie came out. So I've always
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: loved Malcolm X. I think my love for Doctor King
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: has come as I've gotten older, as I've become a father,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: as I've become just a deeper adult, because you see,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: one how Doctor King was radicalized in part by Malcolm X.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: But but I've also come to see that certainly we
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: need self defense what Malcolm X talked about, but we
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: also need the beloved community what Doctor King talked about.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: So my whole thing was seeing how they they went
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: from being rivals and adversaries to being each other's alter egos.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: What did you learn a lot of this? Because you
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: know in school, especially growing up so deep like it
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: was that I have a dream speech, it was a
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: little bit of Malcolm X. So what made you want
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: to learn more about these characters, Malcolm X and Martin
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Luther King? And you know, it was growing up in
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: New York City and the you know, my mother was
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: part of a hospital workers SCIU eleven ninety nine, and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: so we grew up in a city where we talked
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: about social protest. I was a freshman in high school
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: when Michael Griffith was murdered in December of eighty six
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: and Howard Beach, a white mob chased them out into
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: the highway and the brother was just destroyed by by
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: a fast moving car and was trying to figure all
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: this stuff out in New York City. So this before
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: David Dinkins. This is when Eleanor Bumpers, who was a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: black grandmother was murdered by the police at in our
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: own home. And so all of that got me interested.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: But then certainly Eyes on the Prize premiered in New
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: York in nineteen eighty seven eighty eight on PBS Channel
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: thirteen over here, and we grew up in a New
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: York City where Channel five before Fox News, we used
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: to watch the drive in movies and you think about
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Wu Tang, they talk about Shaolin. We three pm on Saturdays.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: This is before cable, This is before everything. We used
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: to watch, you know, kung fu movies, right, So was
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: this idea of you were watching kung fu movies? Hip
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: Hop Run DMC lived on Hollis right up the hill,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: so we used to see Run DMC. We used to
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: be able to go the shows they used to play
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: at times right in ps. Thirty four, park Um, But
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: there was all this racial segregation. Ed Koch was the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: mayor of New York. Ronald Reagan was the president. All
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: that got me interested in Malcolm X. First time I
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: read about Malcolm my mother had the autobiography of Malcolm
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: X in the house and I read that and that
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: just got me going, Man, how old are you? Because
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: you were talking like you fifty something? You look like
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: you and you're okay, yeah, I'm forty eight. Okay, Wow, man,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: would you vegan a lot of water? A lot of water,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of been practicing yoga for twenty three years? Okay, okay,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, all that good stuff. Now, what does
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: the metaphor in the book's title, the Sword and the
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: Shield referred to? And I'm glad you asked that. So
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: we usually think about Malcolm X is the political sword
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: of the black freedom struggle. And I even write in
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: this book Malcolm served as Black America's prosecuting attorney, so
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: he was prosecuting the United States for crimes against black
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: humanity that dated back to racial slavery. Doctor King is
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: usually think thought of as the shield. He's the America's
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: apostle of non violence. Where Malcolm is Harlem's hero of
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: self defense. We think about the ballot or the bullet speech.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: We think about Malcolm with a rifle by a window,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: and that's an iconic picture. What I argue in The
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Sword and the Shield is that both Malcolm and Martin
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: are both Malcolm X is not only the political sword
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: of the Black community. He becomes our prime minister who
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: goes to Africa from the Middle East. He becomes l
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Hodge Malik Shabaz and he wants to build the beloved
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: community as well, but one that's rooted in truth and
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: the truth of not just racial slavery, but our West
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: African and our African heritage. So Malcolm is a Pan
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: African all day, every day. But he's also a Muslim.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: He's also a radical internationalist. King is not just somebody
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: who's a man of peace. He's a man of peace.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: He's a man of God. Both of them are men
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: of God. But King is also this non violent revolutionary
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: King becomes so revolutionary after Malcolm X's death. He's no
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: longer on speaking terms with the President of the United
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: States because he comes out against the Vietnam War and
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: he starts to say things like all white Americans have
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: unconscious racism. He says the halls of the US Congress
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: of running wild with racism. In April fourth, nineteen sixty seven,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: at the Riverside Church in New York, he says that
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: the greatest purveyor of violence in the US in the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: world is the United States of America. So that's the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: revolutionary King who goes to places like Marks, Mississippi and
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: tells poor black people that during reconstruction they were promised
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: forty acres in the mule. They didn't get their forty
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: acres in the mule, But he's gonna lead a poor
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: people's caravan to go to Washington, DC until they get
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the forty acres in the mule. That's Doctor Martin Luther
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: King Junior. So he's both a sword and the shield.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: But Malcolm is as well. And what I argue in
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: the book is that the person who most influences Doctor
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: King's radicalism is Malcolm X. You know they, you know Charlemagno.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: We talks about how Malcolm and Aki, Malcolm X and
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Doctor King's Doctor King spoke. Do you think they were
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: assassinated because they were possibly going to join forces to
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: come out together and that would just be too much power. Well,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: I think they definitely are assassinated because they represent a
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: threat to the American political system. I think that they
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: would have gotten together. They spoke together once on March
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: twenty six, nineteen sixty four, at the US Senate. But
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: one little known aspect that I get into in the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: book is that Malcolm saw a King in Harlem December seventeenth,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four. He was sitting next to Andy Young
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Andrew Young, a former mayor of Atlanta, a former UN ambassador,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and he heard doctor King give a whole speech after
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: King won the Nobel Peace Prize, and not just that.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: He speaks about that speech in Harlem a few days
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: later and says that it was a terrific speech. He's impressed,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: and he goes to Alabama to visit with doctor King,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: and doctor King's in prison, and he visits instead with
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Corretta Scott King, doctor, his wife and really political partner.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: We think of, uh, Correta Scott King is just his wife.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: She's a brilliant organizer, political partner, intellectual, she's his his
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: his better half, let's let's face it. And so when
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: we think about Malcolm, Malcolm was ready to join forces
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: with King, but on his own terms, he wasn't going
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: to do the same thing. He Malcolm always believed in
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: black dignity, King believed in black citizenship. Over time they
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: both come to believe in black dignity and citizenship, and
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Malcolm X defined black dignity as the end of world
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: white supremacy. All Right, we got more with doctor Panel Joseph.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: When we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast Club.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is dj Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: it with doctor Panel, Joseph Charlomagne. Let's let's dig in
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: on that a little bit more, because I love the
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: concept of radical black dignity as weird, because I've read
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: the autobiography of Malcolm X a few times, Love Message
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: to the Black Man, Biolijah Muhammed Sweab by those books.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: But I don't remember that concept, you know, explored as
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: much as when I read Disorder the Shield, and I
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: even incorporated a lot of the content of radical Black
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: dignity and commissment speech I gave for South Carolina State,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: you know, about a month ago. But can you dig
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: a little deeper on what that is. What is radical
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: black dignity. Radical Black dignity for Malcolm X, is radical
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: black political self determination. So what that means is that
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: Malcolm absolutely had this external critique. He critiqued white supremacy,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: critique institutions that were brutalizing Black people, the police, the
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: whole deal. But he also expected a lot of ourselves.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: So Malcolm defines radical Black dignity as Black people coming
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: to understand and love themselves through the pain and trauma
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: of racial slavery and segregation and brutalization. That we have
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: to understand that, but we have to not be as
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: hard on ourselves as we usually are. Because Malcolm criticized
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: us for loving white people and loving white supremacy too much.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: But what that meant was that we weren't able to
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: face how we had been subjugated, how we had been
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: subjugated during racial slavery. Reason why Malcolm X goes to
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Africa three times because people don't talk about the nineteen
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: fifty nine trip to Africa where he's in Egypt. He's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East. He meets up with President Vice
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: President n y El Sadat. He meets up with Prince
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Faisal Saudi Arabia, the whole deal. Malcolm went there, to
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: the Middle East and to Africa even before he takes
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: to Hajj, because he knew that black people had a
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: history before the Middle Passage. So part of that dignity
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: was we understood that yes, not only had we been
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: kings and queens, and obviously not all of us were
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: just kings and queens in Africa, but we had a
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: history before the US. We had a history before European
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: I won't even call it conquest, but being captives here
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: and really recreating Western civilization through our own protests. Another
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: part of radical black dignity is black beauty and black love. Malcolm,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: following Marcus Mosiah Garvey, believed in the beauty of black
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: people intrinsically black women, black men, black children, in black babies,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: black neighborhoods. So when we think about this idea of
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: self determination, and my final point is this is why
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Malcolm has a critique of racial integration, not because he
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't want an equal society, but Malcolm was horrified by
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: the fact that it took troops to bring black children
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: to school in Little Rock Central High School in nineteen
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: fifty seven, whereas King writes a telegram to President Eisenhower
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: applauding that in September of nineteen fifty seven, Malcolm is
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: angry and mad about that. Why it's a sixth society
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: where our children, little black girls and boys, have to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: be guarded by troops to go into a high school
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: or an elementary school. And that's why Malcolm says American
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: democracy is nothing but American hypocrisy. And very famously he says,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: you can't put a knife nine inches in a person's back,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: take it out three inches and call that progress. You
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: haven't taken out the knife, and you haven't even acknowledged
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: the wound. So black dignity is us are standing our
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: own struggle, loving ourselves through the joy and the trauma
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: of that struggles. Remember the reason why Malcolm X is
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: the best order in American history. And I'll say doctor
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: King's number two. The reason why Malcolm's the best. Malcolm
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: has a great sense of humor. He actually forces us
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: to confront this through different parables. And when he talks
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: about house negroes versus field negroes, he's talking about black dignity.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: But he's also talking that we have class tensions in
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: our own community. Sometimes you'll have historians and scholars to say, well,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: the house negro field negro is more complicated than that.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: Malcolm's giving us allegori is that everyone can understand. That's
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: why he says, make it plain. So the house Negroes
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: were black folks who had more identification with white supremacy
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: and white masters. And that's why Malcolm says, when the
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: white master got sick, the house negro said, we see right,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: and field negroes. Malcolm defined them like he defined himself,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: black people who were catching hell every day and who
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: were bold enough to resist against white supremacy. So black
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: dignity is huge, huge, huge, And this is why when
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: we think about the Malcolm and Martin, the dichotomy and
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: the convergence, it's only because of Malcolm X that doctor
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: King starts talking about black dignity. Doctor King starts saying
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: black is beautiful, and it's so beautiful to be black.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: Doctor King, by nineteen sixty seven tells us that they
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: even tell us little white lies are better than black lives.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: Black lives. That's Doctor King, only because Malcolm X had
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: taught all of us about black dignity before Malcolm. We
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: were all negroes who turned into black people because of
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Malcolm X. And in the book you lay out how
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: they each become the others alter ego. Essentially, to me,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: that's what the book is ultimately about. Can you explain
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: it absolutely? When we think about Malcolm and Martin. Over time,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: doctor King becomes much more of a radical and a revolutionary,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: speaking truth to power in an unapologetic way in the
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: tone of Malcolm X. My great example there is when
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: doctor King is in Marks, Mississippi in nineteen sixty eight
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: organizing the Poor People's Campaign. He tells the poor black
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: folks in Marks, Mississippi that the way they are living
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: is a crime. That's the exact language that Malcolm X
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: used to use about this crime against black humanity that
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: had occurred. For Malcolm, it's the ballot or the bullet speech.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: The ballot or the bullet speech is the first time
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: Malcolm X acknowledges the need for radical black citizenship. He
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: had always acknowledged the need for radical black dignity. But
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: Malcolm hedges he doesn't believe in American democracy, never does
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: he believes in what black people. He says. The reason
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: why I think we should do the ballot or the
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: bullet is that I want black people to have a
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: chance to utilize this political power and see where it
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: gets them. Remember, Malcolm X had been in prison. Malcolm
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: X's father had been killed early. He always felt it
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: was a white supremacist attack. His mother had been institutionalized.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: Malcolm had seen what I call the lower frequencies of
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. So he was always about
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: democracy working the way in which white people pretended it worked, right.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: But what he did was he had faith in who
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: black people. He was schooled by his mother, Louise Norton Little,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: who was from Grenada. So Malcolm has Caribbean blood as
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: well as the African African American blood. He was schooled
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: by his father, Earl Little, he was schooled by the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: honorable Elijah Mohammed, but he was also schooled by all
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: these revolutionary leaders in the Middle East and Africa. Right,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: So when you think about Malcolm becomes closer to king
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: through this acknowledgement that we need to end worldwide supremacy,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: not just through self defense, but we're gonna need that
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: beloved community. But Malcolm hedges, he says, one I only
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: believe in black people visa viva democracy thing. But two
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: he says that white people and his language is this
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: sincere white people can be part of the movement. What
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: did he define as sincere? He defined a sincere as
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: what do Boys call abolitionist democracy, white people who are
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be willing to put themselves on the line right
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: to transform the entire world. So du Boys always said,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: and W. B. Du Boys is the intellectual who is
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: the founder of the NAACP, one of the most important
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: intellectuals ever. But what he wrote in a book nineteen
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: thirty five called Black Reconstruction was he wrote the true
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: history of reconstruction. He pushed back against the lost Cause
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: history that had said we were apes and monsters and
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: we were raping white women. He showed how black people
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: tried to reimagine American democracy. And the only reason the
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: country exists in the form and exists now is because
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: of our labor, our sweat, our sacrifice, our love, our patriotism. Right.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: And so when we think about Malcolm and Martin, Martin
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: becomes closer to Malcolm where he becomes this unfettered revolutionary,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: becomes a pillar of fire, an Old Testament prophet. He's Amos,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: He's Jeremiah, He's Moses. By the end of his life
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: and Malcolm becomes closer to King where he starts to
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: say that not only is he a prosecuting attorney, he
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: becomes Black America's Prime Minister. In the last year of
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: his life, Malcolm X had the office at the United Nations.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Malcolm X could go and speak to Prime Minister Kwame
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: and Kruma in Ghana. He could speak to nam Diaza
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: Kiway in Nigeria. He could speak to Mohammed Babu, who's
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Zanzibar. So that's when he becomes
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: closer to Doctor King. So they really converge, and you
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: could see the love and admiration that Malcolm has for
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: him when he tells Correcti Scott how much he admires
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: her husband in Selma. And when you read the statement
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: that King sends after Malcolm's assassination, he expresses his admiration
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: and says what a great man Malcolm X was who
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: was constantly changing. So you can see the convergence between
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: both of them even in their lifetimes. Let me tell
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: you something, man. His name is Doctor for Neil Joseph.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: The book is Disord in the Shield. I'm not even
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: exaggerating when I say it's one of the best books
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: that I've ever read in my entire existence on this planet.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: I think everybody should go out there and get the
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: Sword in the Shield right now. It explores the revolutionary
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: of Malcolm X and doctor Martin Luther King Jr. I
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: can't wait to just read more of your stuff, Doctor Pernil. Well,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: thank you, Charlottagne the guy. It's it's been great. It's
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: an honor. It's a pleasure to be here. You're an icon,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: so so I'm really appreciative of this opportunity and to
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: chop it up with you to dialogue, especially as somebody
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: from New York City, a native New Yorker is doctor
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: f Neil Joseph. It's the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: This is the Ruble Report with Angela breast cures. When
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: you said that you're sad, we have a breakfast Yeah, God, morning, everybody.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: All right, he got some bad news. I don't know
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: what happen. We finally took the barricades down. The barricades,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: that's what I call on the border. I can actually
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: see you guys now clearly. Yeah, it's not looking good
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: pressed all right. Now, let's talk about Black Twitter reacting
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: to Destiny's Child cater to You seventeen years after it
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: came out. They feel like, uh, this song is outdated
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: and not good. Listen to some of the lyrics. Let
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: me see what in hall. I want to let you
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: know what, so reassure you. My life would be purposeless
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: without you. They're saying, ah, this is just too much.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: This message is in aging. Well, now I do want
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: to say this when I listen to the song. In
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: the hook, right, she does say let me cater to
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: you because baby, this is your day. So I'm feeling
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: like this is a day that she's doing all this
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: for him, writing his bathwater. Yeah, Father's day is coming
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: up now. The one thing I had an issue within
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: this song. Listen to this part, which what you want
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: the next one. I'm not helping anybody to get you
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: rag line. I had to draw the line at that.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: Now I'll run the bathwater, I'll do all that other stuff.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not putting your due rag on for you. Well,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: I mean here's the thing. That's that's the way. It's
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: the very personal thing. I'm not gonna tie it tight enough. Yeah,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: And that's the way they choose to cater to their man.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: Like each man's needs a different Women can cater to
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: their man however they want. That's crazy, But that conversation
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: about a seventeen year old soul. Yeah, but I do think,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: I do think that there's times your man is gonna
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: cater to you, in times you're gonna cater to him. Yeah,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: And I think they enjoyed doing that. Yeah. And I
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: think these people are trolls either. Trolls are people that
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: are board doing doing social experiments because there's absolutely nothing
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: problematic about cater to you. Catering to you works both ways.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: As Angelie just said, it just so happened. Women made
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: a song about it, and she said, it's your day.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: So it makes it seem like today I'm gonna do
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: all this for you. Can we get into scrubs and
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: pigeons next? Can we do that one next? And by
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the way, if you're not catering to your man, it's
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: probably because you simply haven't All lives matter the song.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: If you're not catering to your man or your significant other,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: it's probably because you simply haven't found your soul mate.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: When you find that one who has committed to you
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: in a real way that's catering to them is nothing life. Okay. Now,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: Joe Exotic is launching his own cannabis line from jail,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: So if you guys want to get that, you know,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: you can get some of his Joe Exotic cannabis. But
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: y'all want to smoke on some of that Joe Exotic, No,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: probably got math in it, definitely prob. All right now,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: James Harden has been appointed to the board at Sacks.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: He's an independent member of the board. He has made
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: a minority investment in the company. So he's going to
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: bring his expertise to help grow high potential consumer brands,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: combined with a unique perspective as a notable fashion enthusiast. Smart. Yeah,
