8:10
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
8:13
Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building, the legendary
8:16
Speaker 1: comedian Earthquake. Welcome brother, Well, thank you. It's an honor, man.
8:21
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this day for a long
8:23
Speaker 1: time to be on this show man, and it's an honor,
8:26
Speaker 1: the privilege to be here. How are you feeling this morning, brother,
8:28
Speaker 1: I'm blessed man, To be quite honest with you, I'm
8:30
Speaker 1: very blessed man. And things are good. Things are good.
8:33
Speaker 1: You look like it's like the money look great. Well,
8:35
Speaker 1: you know his finally got through a thirty year overnight sensation.
8:39
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, thirty years. So took this
8:42
Speaker 1: while for everybody else to see what I've been doing
8:44
Speaker 1: for thirty years, but you know it came through. How
8:46
Speaker 1: have you stayed so relevant in this thirty years? Most comedians,
8:49
Speaker 1: well a lot of people don't have a long career,
8:52
Speaker 1: but your career keeps going and you keep reinventing yourself. Well,
8:55
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is, you know, when you
8:58
Speaker 1: have a talent such as persistence, you know what I mean, UM,
9:02
Speaker 1: and you're dealing with a thing that's subjective. You know,
9:05
Speaker 1: it was funny to one person, I'd be funny to
9:08
Speaker 1: the other. And then on top of that, to be
9:10
Speaker 1: honest with you, when you cater to our people. I'm
9:13
Speaker 1: not a mainstream comedian such as like I lived here
9:16
Speaker 1: in New York. I didn't do um the clubs that
9:20
Speaker 1: he always did. Like our clubs, the nightclubs. We have
9:24
Speaker 1: our people at entertaining them, and it takes at you know,
9:27
Speaker 1: a longer time to get to that point. And to
9:30
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, the thirty years, none of
9:32
Speaker 1: the people who um my consumers and people see on
9:36
Speaker 1: TV shows or networks to give me the necessary breaks
9:39
Speaker 1: what it was needed. That's changed now. Oh yes, oh man,
9:45
Speaker 1: it's in there, sweet over here now sitcom coming, Yes,
9:50
Speaker 1: I got the sitcom. I got. Um. I'm doing my tour,
9:54
Speaker 1: my first tour that actually is mine with one of
9:56
Speaker 1: your friends, Donnell Rowlins. We're doing twenty city tours on that.
10:01
Speaker 1: I did my first lead in the movie with Don there.
10:04
Speaker 1: So we did that together and uh, life is good.
10:08
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, getting a lot of texts. Hey, big head.
10:13
Speaker 1: You know, I saw Dave Chappelle performing in Atlanta over
10:15
Speaker 1: the weekend and one of the things he was talking
10:17
Speaker 1: about was your special and he was saying, this is
10:19
Speaker 1: the first time I'm producing a special that I'm not in.
10:22
Speaker 1: So what was that like for you guys to even
10:24
Speaker 1: come together to decide to do that. Well, you know,
10:26
Speaker 1: I knew. I've been known Dave for over twenty five
10:30
Speaker 1: thirty years. I mean, I own my own club in Atlanta,
10:33
Speaker 1: and we booked him, and I've seen how much money
10:36
Speaker 1: we was paying him. I'm like, who was this monk?
10:39
Speaker 1: So how long ago was this? Oh this was ninety three,
10:42
Speaker 1: ninety four? Oh yeah, jes See, David has always been
10:46
Speaker 1: the lebron James of our profession, Baby Jesus, he always
10:50
Speaker 1: had it the mainstream of a you know, loved him
10:54
Speaker 1: to death, you know, And so when we booked him,
10:57
Speaker 1: I'm like, who's this kid? We're paying all this money too,
10:59
Speaker 1: So I went to pick him up and we started kicking.
11:01
Speaker 1: And then when he stepped on stage and I heard
11:03
Speaker 1: this first joke. I'd say, I'll see why they pay
11:05
Speaker 1: him that kind of money. This isn't just an interesting though,
11:07
Speaker 1: because a lot of people say they didn't feel like
11:09
Speaker 1: Dave came up through the black circuit back in Well
11:12
Speaker 1: he didn't. But my club was more or less I
11:15
Speaker 1: put comedians on that was comedian on. Though it was
11:18
Speaker 1: an urban club, it was white. It was I took
11:23
Speaker 1: comedians that was funny and introduced all type of comedians
11:27
Speaker 1: to our you know, our crowd and the rest of it.
11:29
Speaker 1: And he didn't do many black clubs, but he did minds,
11:33
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So he was a blessing
11:35
Speaker 1: on that part. Yeah, it wasn't until like the Chappelle
11:37
Speaker 1: Show when black people got on exactly. And no, no,
11:40
Speaker 1: I mean no fault to him. Like I said, it's
11:42
Speaker 1: two different ways to get it. Most are the ones
11:44
Speaker 1: that really get it, like Dave come through the main clubs,
11:48
Speaker 1: you know, and people such me and the Bruce Bruce
11:51
Speaker 1: are there's the rest of them that cata to our people,
11:54
Speaker 1: take us a little bit longer to getting on and
11:57
Speaker 1: fun the other side. So you know, whichever way you
12:00
Speaker 1: want to get it down. The other misconception is that
12:03
Speaker 1: comedians are broke because they don't see y'all, but y'all
12:07
Speaker 1: in these clubs every weekend. One of the strangest things
12:09
Speaker 1: to me recently is watching you know, Kanye fans going
12:12
Speaker 1: d yelling like you her relevant you broke. I'm like,
12:15
Speaker 1: yell probably Richard and all of y'all. I know Richard,
12:18
Speaker 1: I know it, Yes, I mean, I mean, all you
12:21
Speaker 1: gotta do is do the math Um Club hosts three
12:24
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty people charged forty dollars. You asked for
12:28
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the door, and you do eight shells
12:32
Speaker 1: a weekend a week a weekend. You know what I mean.
12:36
Speaker 1: I was pulling three million dollars in a year, you know,
12:40
Speaker 1: and didn't even nobody know who I was other than
12:42
Speaker 1: the people that knew who I was. So I had
12:44
Speaker 1: already exceeded my expectation for my life. You understand what
12:48
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Oh yeah, yeah, they ain't. No, yeah, when
12:53
Speaker 1: they knew that for they came when my ex wife
12:56
Speaker 1: snitched on me. He does not pay his taxes. Yeah, man,
13:02
Speaker 1: first day of trial. I want to put something on
13:05
Speaker 1: the record. He is now here playing attack. Oh man,
13:10
Speaker 1: I was with her for three years. They took nine
13:12
Speaker 1: years to get a divorce. I said, I could have
13:15
Speaker 1: killed him and been out on probation by now. This
13:17
Speaker 1: is ridiculous, I said, this is ridiculous. But that was
13:20
Speaker 1: the first day of tryal. She turned me in. The
13:22
Speaker 1: best thing ever happened, made me turn myself in. Actually
13:28
Speaker 1: go with okay, no, you go and you get you
13:32
Speaker 1: um tax lawyer, and say, listen here man, I old
13:38
Speaker 1: um close to four million, but no, everybody against Trump.
13:43
Speaker 1: But when he Trump trash passed that tax build and
13:46
Speaker 1: they gave that forgiveness, you got you, I got for game.
13:50
Speaker 1: I ran down in with that checking here you go.
13:54
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna tell you how much it was, but
13:56
Speaker 1: it was nowhere in the million game. The whole thing. God,
14:00
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm just telling y'all was sitting there and
14:02
Speaker 1: here you go. It was the first day. It took
14:04
Speaker 1: me like fifteen years between me and Uncle Sam with
14:08
Speaker 1: his blust himself, because he played with you anytime he
14:10
Speaker 1: wanted to you. Oh, it's ridiculous. And this ship and
14:15
Speaker 1: this ship, what I'm paying the tax I didn't even understand.
14:18
Speaker 1: I said, I couldn't have made this much money doing
14:20
Speaker 1: a pandemic. Now, yeah, you did like damn whoa So
14:26
Speaker 1: yeah it was Oh yeah, it's you know, the more
14:30
Speaker 1: you make, the more they take. All we got more

14:54
Speaker 1: Rock slap Um. Are you scared to go on stage now? No,
14:57

15:02
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for Will because you know he's being
15:05
Speaker 1: beaten abused by Jacob just said that's what happens when
15:10
Speaker 1: a man is in love with a woman that doesn't
15:12
Speaker 1: love him, and he's doing everything to try to make
15:15
Speaker 1: sure that try to win her love. And I've been
15:18
Speaker 1: there before. You have to make a decision he accept
15:22
Speaker 1: it for the love she getting in and just accept
15:24
Speaker 1: that and or just leave it alone. But you will
15:27
Speaker 1: never ever win her over because you can't make a
15:31
Speaker 1: heart feel what it don't and she don't, and her
15:34
Speaker 1: actions that night showed it. And I feel for him,
15:38
Speaker 1: and I guess he feel that, huh. I mean, even
15:42
Speaker 1: if he felt that she that he disrespected her. She
15:47
Speaker 1: knows her man, and she saw he was about to
15:49
Speaker 1: go up here, a woman that loved you will stop you.
15:52
Speaker 1: And then, you know, we do readio. We know the
15:55
Speaker 1: rules of FCC. He was at the oscars and he
15:58
Speaker 1: will doesn't even cut and he's out here using profanity
16:01
Speaker 1: on a live broadcast. You know, Hollywood, he knows the ruth.
16:05
Speaker 1: She didn't try to stop him on there on two occasions.
16:08
Speaker 1: And then lastly, man Um, she had yet to release
16:11
Speaker 1: the statement and say, hey man, my man, it's a
16:13
Speaker 1: good man. If he lost this cool, it's not indicative
16:16
Speaker 1: of who years he got over three decades of good
16:19
Speaker 1: work towards the people he never had that he lost
16:22
Speaker 1: his cool and nothing. No, she left a statement that
16:24
Speaker 1: I'm in to I'm a caning quota, but it's a
16:27
Speaker 1: time of healing. I'm here. I wonder, I wonder if
16:32
Speaker 1: I like the fact they haven't released a statement other
16:34
Speaker 1: than to just hold themselves accountable, like you know what
16:37
Speaker 1: he's saying. Yeah, he hasn't He hasn't deflected at all,
16:40
Speaker 1: Like that's what I mean. She hasn't protection. Well, she
16:45
Speaker 1: should protect the man. He the reason what he did
16:48
Speaker 1: was in protecting her. Her and your woman would come
16:51
Speaker 1: out and vouch for you that that's not you, that
16:55
Speaker 1: is not him. It's just a natural, in my humble opinion,
16:59
Speaker 1: un natural reaction for a woman who sees a significance
17:04
Speaker 1: of what he did and what it's going to cost them.
17:08
Speaker 1: If he was doing it for you, they probably decided
17:11
Speaker 1: not to say anything until they probably release a joint
17:14
Speaker 1: statement together or an interview together something. Yeah, but this
17:17
Speaker 1: at some point, man, you can't look was politically correct.
17:22
Speaker 1: You got the circle of wagons and say, this is
17:24
Speaker 1: my man, this is what I care about. He's not
17:28
Speaker 1: like this. He lost it that day. He's human, and
17:31
Speaker 1: please don't let this night, you know, define who he
17:34
Speaker 1: is as a person. Like how do we know they're not? Maybe,
17:36
Speaker 1: like I said, maybe they're just sitting back, like you
17:38
Speaker 1: know what, we'll speaker, were ready, Like why do they
17:40
Speaker 1: have to speak now? Like what's the point who they're
17:43
Speaker 1: doing there for? You? Do you're doing it for your husband?
17:47
Speaker 1: Because your husband is taking it to the face right now,
17:50
Speaker 1: he's losing project. He's there, they're holding up on projects.
17:54
Speaker 1: He's he's he has made an egregious area on things
17:59
Speaker 1: that he is patting his whole life to not see.
18:02
Speaker 1: I remember when Will was taking shots for not being
18:06
Speaker 1: by not being a rapper who cussed and who was
18:09
Speaker 1: looked as corny and the rest of it. And he
18:11
Speaker 1: dealt with all that without being hammering and going with
18:14
Speaker 1: bump to the bumps and change. He didn't hold he
18:19
Speaker 1: he didn't succumb to the pressure on the outside. This
18:22
Speaker 1: is Will get jigged with it. Parents don't understand cussing
18:25
Speaker 1: on national television at the Oscars, the place that he
18:30
Speaker 1: felt that he was going to be the trophy for
18:33
Speaker 1: the best Actor. I mean he covered he came from
18:38
Speaker 1: a rapper to a movie star to a television star
18:42
Speaker 1: and then got recognizes as high as level. Yeah. Yeah,
18:47
Speaker 1: not justifying what he did. What he did was wrong,
18:49
Speaker 1: but clearly that shows you something was wrong. Yeah, something
18:52
Speaker 1: was off. Yeah your listen, man, we all seeing them
18:55
Speaker 1: dudes that you better not say nothing to that woman.
18:58
Speaker 1: The woman can't even hold him when he gone he
19:01
Speaker 1: jealous over this woman's man. I used to say this
19:05
Speaker 1: all the time, I'm saying, man, that woman. I'll take
19:07
Speaker 1: pictures with women all the time. Man, And you could
19:10
Speaker 1: look at the dudes that you could just see here
19:12
Speaker 1: killing everybody in here for her, and I just owned him.
19:17
Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, I'm just hugging the right man because
19:19
Speaker 1: they I don't have enough bullets to stop you come.
19:23
Speaker 1: You from coming, because I see the love in your eyes.
19:26
Speaker 1: You will kill everybody in here for her. So let
19:29
Speaker 1: me put my hand down, like you pick that picture
19:33
Speaker 1: with me. You see him, she knows him, She know
19:36
Speaker 1: for my man, he would this. Women aren't here known
19:39
Speaker 1: for my man. My man will kill you over me.
19:42
Speaker 1: I have to control them. But I think also, you know,
19:47
Speaker 1: because I think it's a shame that he was up there.
19:50
Speaker 1: He was like kind of left her after that, And
19:52
Speaker 1: I felt like nobody protected Chris Rock when that happened,
19:55
Speaker 1: because they were able to sit back in the sea
19:57
Speaker 1: and just watch the rest of the show go out
19:59
Speaker 1: and part. But that has to be devastating for that
20:02
Speaker 1: to happen, his kids seeing it, family seeing it, you know,
20:05
Speaker 1: of course, that is the main thing, Like, now what
20:08
Speaker 1: happens that should never have been Okay, yeah, show go on. Well,
20:14
Speaker 1: Will knew who he could slap, where he could slap.
20:17
Speaker 1: You gotta you can also, my humble opinion, he knew
20:21
Speaker 1: who was running the production. He knew it was Will
20:25
Speaker 1: Packer and certain people. He felt that he can get away.
20:29
Speaker 1: You knew that when he assaulted Chris and then turned
20:32
Speaker 1: his back and walk off. There's no one else. Everybody
20:36
Speaker 1: know Chris is not that kind of We call him
20:38

24:16
Speaker 1: I'm good, man. So what should the gentlemen do? Bro?
24:19
Speaker 1: I think the gentleman shouldn't uh call into the radio
24:23
Speaker 1: first of all, to be talking about something like that
24:26
Speaker 1: that's really personal. And I also think that y'all shouldn't
24:29
Speaker 1: promote that stuff on the radio, promote what staled that happens, infidelity.
24:34
Speaker 1: I agree we shouldn't promote infidelity on the radio. I've
24:37
Speaker 1: been listening to Charlotte Maginne to God, and you know
24:39
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He's been speaking on a gay stuff
24:42
Speaker 1: a lot. Man. You know what I'm saying. You know
24:43
Speaker 1: what that does? Man? That plant Seeds, Bro, you know
24:47
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And if you world, I thought we
24:49
Speaker 1: were talking about infidelity, man, you're talking about I thought
24:53
Speaker 1: you were talking about the daddy that was going to
24:54
Speaker 1: the club with the with the son that was being
24:57
Speaker 1: gay or something like that. Right, do you think discussing
24:59
Speaker 1: things about people who are gay, plant Seeds? I do.
25:02
Speaker 1: The biggest issue in this situation is that the daddy's
25:05
Speaker 1: cheating on the mama, sir. That's the biggest mama with
25:07
Speaker 1: a man though, right, that's the second issue to me.
25:11
Speaker 1: It's a real life that really happened though that really
25:15
Speaker 1: wasn't made up. It really happened. A gentleman call. And
25:18
Speaker 1: I mean you say, we don't know if his name,
25:20
Speaker 1: we don't know where he you know, but you also
25:22
Speaker 1: know there's gay people in this world for real. Should
25:24
Speaker 1: we ignore gay people? No, we shouldn't. We shouldn't ignore
25:27
Speaker 1: the problem. That's what we shouldn't ignore. What's the problem.
25:31
Speaker 1: What's the problem. Cheating is the problem. No, cheating ain't
25:34
Speaker 1: never been a problem. Man, You know that cheating is
25:36
Speaker 1: not a problem. Okay, you let me explain. Let me
25:45
Speaker 1: nig okay, Charlemagne, go let me get your position, man? Please?
25:50
Speaker 1: Who all right? We are your position? Because I would
25:53
Speaker 1: really speak about something that need to be spoke about,
25:55
Speaker 1: and I know y'all probably wouldn't want me to speak
25:56
Speaker 1: about it. You know, ahead what you got to say? Okay,
25:59
Speaker 1: let me let me say about the cheae situation. Okay,
26:01
Speaker 1: she and was something that was brought upon you. Now,
26:04
Speaker 1: if you did something that brought back you from karma,
26:07
Speaker 1: then it comes back around to you. So it's you
26:10
Speaker 1: get cast your question? How would you feel if your mom?
26:13
Speaker 1: How would you feel if your girl cheated on you?
26:15
Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel no kind of way because it must
26:17
Speaker 1: have been something I did in order to make her
26:19
Speaker 1: go do that? Is that called victim planning? But someone
26:21
Speaker 1: gets cheated on, you're saying it's their own fault that
26:23
Speaker 1: they got cheated on, So you would stay with it?
26:26
Speaker 1: And that's not playing the victim. That's not playing the victim.
26:29
Speaker 1: But would you stay that's been aware of something that
26:34
Speaker 1: you've done that told you to get what you gotta
26:36
Speaker 1: understand for every act? I respect that. No, he's absolutely right,
26:39
Speaker 1: But would you stay with your woman if you cheat?
26:40
Speaker 1: If she cheated on you? Would you stay with him? Yeah?
26:43
Speaker 1: I stayed with him. I have stayed with him. Well,
26:46
Speaker 1: if you curious, ask him. Okay, So if you cheat
26:48
Speaker 1: on your girl, that's her fault. If I cheated on
26:51
Speaker 1: that's not what he says. It must have been something
26:54
Speaker 1: that she did in her previous relations right, so it's
26:57
Speaker 1: her fault. Okay. Have you ever had a sad situation
27:00
Speaker 1: to where a girl where you meet a person cheating
27:03
Speaker 1: and you end up losing them the same way? Have
27:06
Speaker 1: you ever had to happen before? I know you heard.
27:08
Speaker 1: I understand what you said. I totally understand what you're saying. Brother,
27:12
Speaker 1: I totally get so when you're going through relationships like that, okay,
27:16
Speaker 1: you think that you got away with something that you
27:17
Speaker 1: might have been cheating on the man in the last
27:19
Speaker 1: relationship you feel them saying, and now in this relationship, yes,
27:21
Speaker 1: I totally get it. Every you know, everybody doesn't cheat.
27:24
Speaker 1: Sometimes people get cheated on and they haven't ever cheated. No,
27:28
Speaker 1: that's not scapable to sea. You gotta understand the way
27:30
Speaker 1: you got You can't be ignorant about how the world worked. Man,
27:33
Speaker 1: what you're saying, you're saying that you're saying, you're saying
27:36
Speaker 1: it goes both ways. So let's say your girl cheating
27:38
Speaker 1: on you, it's because of something that you were lacking,
27:41
Speaker 1: or something that you did that you weren't giving her. No,
27:44
Speaker 1: it's something that I did previously that came back on me.
27:50
Speaker 1: Maybe are you do do Let me ask you this question.
27:52
Speaker 1: Do you understand what carmen is? Yes? But I don't
27:56
Speaker 1: believe karmen is causing effect. I believe karmen is created
27:59
Speaker 1: through actions. It's created through action. You're positively correct. That
28:02
Speaker 1: is correct. It is made through action. So for every action,
28:06
Speaker 1: there's a reaction. Is that correct? Equal opposite? Yes, equal opposite?
28:11
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Okay, Now what we're speaking on
28:13
Speaker 1: is Palmer right now, young man, you see what I'm saying,
28:17
Speaker 1: So now they don't matter what I'm gonna give sans number.
28:21
Speaker 1: Hold on, man, stop saying that. But now I see
28:24
Speaker 1: what he's saying. What he's saying, what he's saying makes
28:27
Speaker 1: perfect sense. Like he's not putting the blame on anybody.
28:30
Speaker 1: He's just saying that, you know, if he got cheated
28:32
Speaker 1: on in a previous relationship, is probably because he cheated
28:34
Speaker 1: on somebody in a relationship previous. Now, still a conversation
28:38
Speaker 1: with that you're pushing the narrative of gaining you know,
28:41
Speaker 1: that's what That's what he started with. Well, I ignore that.
28:44
Speaker 1: I don't give that any energy. Okay, all right, Well
28:47
Speaker 1: what's the moral of the story? I forgot what we
28:48
Speaker 1: were talking about. By the way. The moral of the
28:50
Speaker 1: story is cheating is wrong and everybody should be allowed
28:53
Speaker 1: to live the truth. And if you're in a situation
28:55
Speaker 1: where you're not able to live your truth, and maybe
28:58
Speaker 1: you need to get up out of that situation and
29:00
Speaker 1: stop having everybody live a lie with you. It's just
29:02
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club.
29:09
Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same yeast day. Just
29:13
Speaker 1: want to show to Breakfast Club. Charlomagne and God Angela
29:15
Speaker 1: y DJ Envy had to step out, but we got
29:17
Speaker 1: two very special guests, Miss Joy and Read and Tiffany
29:21
Speaker 1: cross our here. Good morning, how y'all feeling excellent? Why
29:27
Speaker 1: did you hear? Brother? Happy to see you always good
29:29
Speaker 1: to see you. Have The Culture is Black Women comes
29:32
Speaker 1: on Sunday at ten pm Eastern on MSNBC Screaming on
29:36
Speaker 1: Peacock TV. What is that about? Well, the title says
29:39
Speaker 1: it all. As you know, even though black women represent
29:42
Speaker 1: such a small sect of society. Where we go, everybody
29:46
Speaker 1: else will follow, and so we drive so much about
29:49
Speaker 1: the culture. And so this whole concept kind of came
29:51
Speaker 1: to be because Joy and I I went on vacation
29:54
Speaker 1: with our group of friends, our common friends. So it's
29:57
Speaker 1: me Angela, right, Jamal Carrie Champion, I always leave out people,
30:02
Speaker 1: Brittany Pagnet, Hunningham, Aaron Haynes, Eatasha Brown, can't Stop, Won't
30:10
Speaker 1: Stop Latasha, And we just had the most amazing time.
30:14
Speaker 1: We really did. And we sat around and luxuriated and
30:17
Speaker 1: loved on each other and talked and shared. And from
30:21
Speaker 1: that when we came back and posted pictures, so many
30:23
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, what organization does this? And how
30:26
Speaker 1: do I sign up to go on the next trip,
30:27
Speaker 1: And it was like, oh, this is just our girls,
30:29
Speaker 1: our little girl trip. And we thought, how can we
30:32
Speaker 1: expand this conversation, how can we invite more women to
30:35
Speaker 1: this table? And so Joy and I came up with
30:37
Speaker 1: this concept of inviting women in a way that would
30:41
Speaker 1: be on television, a digital presence, so people can feel
30:44
Speaker 1: they were part of the conversation. So we knew we
30:46
Speaker 1: wanted to do this but I really didn't know how
30:47
Speaker 1: it was gonna look. And that's where the amazing miss
30:50
Speaker 1: Joy came in and had our own vision for it. Well.
30:53
Speaker 1: So basically, when Tiffany came back and told me the idea,
30:56
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, the perfect way to do
30:57
Speaker 1: this is to kind of recapture the energy that we
30:59
Speaker 1: had in Cabo, and so let's do a dinner. I
31:02
Speaker 1: was like, we'll throw at dinner. We'll have people who
31:04
Speaker 1: come from alter from walts of life, people who are
31:05
Speaker 1: in sports, people who are in sports, casters, people who
31:07
Speaker 1: are actresses, politicians, mel and put them all together, military
31:11
Speaker 1: and everybody will be at the table. And then we figured,
31:13
Speaker 1: if we're gonna do to New York, you gotta do
31:15
Speaker 1: it in Harlem, of course, because that's the basis. And
31:18
Speaker 1: listen I took. Isn't it great? I took my husband
31:21
Speaker 1: there for a birthday dinner years ago, and I just
31:23
Speaker 1: love the fact that it's got that speakeasy vibe, It's
31:26
Speaker 1: got that Harlem renaissance vibe. It's like it's the perfect
31:28
Speaker 1: place like this, and the food is We'll see. We
31:31
Speaker 1: did cheat a little bit because I'm friends with Melbolle
31:33
Speaker 1: Wilson Okay, so we invaded because we literally brought Melbourne's
31:36
Speaker 1: into Minted, so it was like a merger. So we
31:38
Speaker 1: had the Minten's vibe and we had the Little Jazz vibe,
31:40
Speaker 1: but we had the food from Miss Melbolle. How important
31:44
Speaker 1: is that sisterhood that y'all talking about, like all of
31:46
Speaker 1: y'all being together, loving on each other. How important is
31:48
Speaker 1: that it got us to the pandemic. I mean we
31:50
Speaker 1: really started as right, this was like our pandemic support group.
31:53
Speaker 1: Because you know, we're all in media. We all take
31:55
Speaker 1: a lot of the same hits. We all have a
31:56
Speaker 1: lot of the same haters, you know. But we knew
32:00
Speaker 1: each other, and I think for all of us, we
32:01
Speaker 1: knew each other in different ways for different lengths of time,
32:04
Speaker 1: Like each of us had had different kinds of relationships
32:06
Speaker 1: some of us. You know, I had booked some of
32:08
Speaker 1: these ladies on my show, but I didn't know them
32:10
Speaker 1: all that well personally. I've known Tiffany, I've known Angela
32:13
Speaker 1: for a really long time, but I didn't know some people.
32:15
Speaker 1: Something I was fascinated with. I was like, I really
32:17
Speaker 1: want to know Latasha Brown Moore, but I just knew
32:19
Speaker 1: her as a guest, and so it was we had
32:21
Speaker 1: gotten together because we were like talking our way through
32:25
Speaker 1: the pandemic and through all the stresses of just being
32:27
Speaker 1: black women in this business. And so we were kind
32:29
Speaker 1: of supporting each other as a text group. And then
32:32
Speaker 1: it was Tiffany's I think it was your idea. We
32:34
Speaker 1: were like, we need to make this a vacation. We
32:35
Speaker 1: did all gowhere together and that's how it together. But
32:44
Speaker 1: I just want to add the importance about sisterhood too,
32:46
Speaker 1: because um, you know, there's sometimes there are there are
32:51
Speaker 1: images of black women in media where they're not supportive
32:54
Speaker 1: of each other and it's not a sisterhood. And that's
32:56
Speaker 1: just not been our experience. And I always tell particularly
33:00
Speaker 1: younger black women, root for everybody. Root for everybody black,
33:04
Speaker 1: but root for everybody, because you never know where life
33:07
Speaker 1: is going to take you, and when you, you know,
33:10
Speaker 1: get into situations, you want everybody around you to do
33:12
Speaker 1: something dope. I want everybody around me to be at
33:14
Speaker 1: the top of their craft, because if I get into
33:17
Speaker 1: some sugar honey iced tea, I want to look to
33:18
Speaker 1: my left and my right and everybody around me is
33:21
Speaker 1: in a position where they can hire me if they
33:23
Speaker 1: need to or they can save me if they need to.
33:25
Speaker 1: And when you were bickering and you know, involved in that,
33:28
Speaker 1: you know petty stuff or if you think there's only
33:30
Speaker 1: room for one or you have sharp elbows, you're really
33:33
Speaker 1: hurting and damaging yourself. Also, just be a good person.
33:35
Speaker 1: It never feels good to feel like you're all alone. Right,
33:37
Speaker 1: And you know what else is important? I was thinking
33:39
Speaker 1: about even here at iHeart right, having our executive vice
33:42
Speaker 1: president of Programming, Da Mitchen as a black woman to
33:45
Speaker 1: be here because I've never had somebody that could really
33:48
Speaker 1: go to bat for you in the workspace like that, right,
33:51
Speaker 1: and an MSNBC, you guys also have Rashida Jones and
33:54
Speaker 1: the girst black women to head you know, a news
33:58
Speaker 1: outlet like MSNBC. So how has that been and that experience?
34:02
Speaker 1: Has that changed things for you? Didn't make it easier
34:04
Speaker 1: to get certain things done? Oh? For this it made
34:06
Speaker 1: it easy because when we walked in to do the pitch,
34:08
Speaker 1: she got it immediately, like we didn't have to explain it.
34:10
Speaker 1: He didn't take like an hour to pitch this. She
34:12
Speaker 1: really understood it organically because she's living in too, and
34:15
Speaker 1: of course for her that's a lonely space as well.
34:17
Speaker 1: I mean there are MSNBC actually does a little bit
34:20
Speaker 1: better than most that there are black executives, are black
34:22
Speaker 1: women executives. I've worked for a black woman most of
34:23
Speaker 1: the time that I've worked at MSNBC. Even before Rashida,
34:27
Speaker 1: one of her you know, great colleagues and mentors was
34:29
Speaker 1: my boss, so I think she had had some of
34:31
Speaker 1: the experience of having that support. But when you know Tiffany,
34:34
Speaker 1: you know, wrote the original pitch. I have to give
34:36
Speaker 1: Tiffany all the credit for it. We walked in there
34:38
Speaker 1: and original we were trying to say it was gonna
34:40
Speaker 1: be called six and she was like, and so you
34:41
Speaker 1: know when women come in and way like black women say, says,
34:43
Speaker 1: she goes not on you. I got Also is a
34:48
Speaker 1: series though, right, so the first one is Black women,
34:51
Speaker 1: but then you guys are also focusing on Latina women,
34:55
Speaker 1: API and Indigenous women. Is absolutely yeah, And this was like,
34:59
Speaker 1: the idea is that you know, black women I think
35:02
Speaker 1: shape the culture in such a profound way, but in
35:05
Speaker 1: each of these other groups, they they also had their
35:07
Speaker 1: own cultural identity that have shaped the country in their
35:09
Speaker 1: own way, and so we wanted them to have their
35:11
Speaker 1: own table and the idea, and this is really a
35:13
Speaker 1: you know, I'm giving Tiffany so much credit here because
35:15
Speaker 1: she really is the you know, she's the originator of
35:18
Speaker 1: this plan and the person who really birthed it as
35:20
Speaker 1: was like the godmother you know, creativity. So it really
35:24
Speaker 1: was I mean, it was a marriage in many ways.
35:26
Speaker 1: His boy is married, but he was a marriage in
35:29
Speaker 1: many ways because you know, we had a vision for
35:32
Speaker 1: how we wanted us to look. And when Black women
35:34
Speaker 1: gather is different than when Latina's gathered. That's different, when
35:37
Speaker 1: Indigenous women gather, different one Api women gather. And so,
35:40
Speaker 1: you know, my whole career, I have always had the
35:42
Speaker 1: Fred Hampton approach, you know, like let's build coalitions, let's
35:45
Speaker 1: reach across the aisle. And when I organized in these communities,
35:48
Speaker 1: I respected enough to know that I'm a guest of
35:50
Speaker 1: this culture. I'm not a member of it. Like you
35:52
Speaker 1: all deserve your space to have that conversation, and we
35:54
Speaker 1: really wanted other women who really are the keepers of
35:57
Speaker 1: the culture to have their own space to have this conversation.
36:00
Speaker 1: And like with so many other things, when black women
36:03
Speaker 1: create something, all these movements are modeled after what we created.
36:06
Speaker 1: So when we created this, I knew that we would
36:09
Speaker 1: want to bring other people to have their own to
36:11
Speaker 1: convene their own table, So that was important. I know,
36:13
Speaker 1: black women and the mother of the civilization, But do
36:15
Speaker 1: we always have to be the buzzes to everybody else? Remember?
36:21
Speaker 1: Right from essence Caroline, she said something that I thought
36:25
Speaker 1: was so real. She was like, inclusive in uh in,
36:28
Speaker 1: diversity in corporate America always means everybody else. We can't
36:32
Speaker 1: just say just black. Why can't it ever just be
36:34
Speaker 1: just black? Yeah? No, you're right. And I think in
36:36
Speaker 1: this country, the challenge is is that the original sin
36:40
Speaker 1: of this country was against the indigenous people and then
36:43
Speaker 1: against the other indigenous people on this earth, and that
36:45
Speaker 1: as black people, right, we were the indigenous people in Africa.
36:48
Speaker 1: They brought us here because you know, we could survive
36:51
Speaker 1: the trials of slavery. And most of what's been done
36:54
Speaker 1: that's been wrong in this country has been done wrong
36:57
Speaker 1: to us. First. We've been the ones experimented on to
37:00
Speaker 1: be literally, figuratively and literally. And so it's hard because
37:05
Speaker 1: when you try to do then, as you said, diversity
37:08
Speaker 1: programs and issues, it gets expanded beyond est pretty quickly.
37:12
Speaker 1: And I think unfortunately in this country, it's easier to
37:14
Speaker 1: sell the idea of saving people that are not black,
37:17
Speaker 1: right of of sort of doing programs that will help
37:20
Speaker 1: anybody but black. In order to even get our civil rights,
37:24
Speaker 1: you know, our civil rights programs done, we had to
37:26
Speaker 1: make sure that they're economic, that they benefited you know,
37:28
Speaker 1: poor white people and black you had to marry us together.
37:31
Speaker 1: There is just an allergy to blackness in this country.
37:34
Speaker 1: That is a problem. And I don't know how you
37:35
Speaker 1: get past it, but I think when we as people
37:38
Speaker 1: who are oppressed people, you know, it doesn't help us
37:43
Speaker 1: to exclude other oppressed people. It helps us to include
37:45
Speaker 1: them because it makes our army bigger. We'll be back
37:48
Speaker 1: right here on the World Most Dangerous want to show
37:50
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club? Yes, since the World Most Dangerous want
37:54
Speaker 1: to show to Breakfast Club? Charlomagne and God and Angelie
37:56
Speaker 1: DJ and being right now, we're kicking it with miss
37:59
Speaker 1: Joy and Read and Tiffany Cross. I also know on
38:02
Speaker 1: the first episode, well on this episode in particular, the
38:05
Speaker 1: culture is black women. You ever sit down with Vice
38:08
Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris. Yes, so we would try to get
38:11
Speaker 1: our hands on at the time, but you guys, we
38:14
Speaker 1: had it all locked up, couldn't get our hands on it.
38:17
Speaker 1: But do you feel like for her as the vice president,
38:20
Speaker 1: she's gotten treated way worse than any other vice president
38:22
Speaker 1: in our history. Absolutely. I mean, look, vice they've always
38:26
Speaker 1: said vice president job isn't worth a bucket. A spit
38:28
Speaker 1: like that was the like. So the theme of it,
38:30
Speaker 1: it's a tough job. You mostly do funerals, and you
38:32
Speaker 1: do the job as the president doesn't want to do.
38:33
Speaker 1: They give you the portfolio they don't want, right, That's
38:35
Speaker 1: that's usually what the job is. But I think for
38:38
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, she's had like the triple problem of being
38:41
Speaker 1: a woman and so people not being willing to respect
38:44
Speaker 1: her the way they would respect the male vice president,
38:46
Speaker 1: or being black, which we already know that what that
38:49
Speaker 1: carries with it is the anti blackness comes you know
38:51
Speaker 1: with the package. And then also being vice president at
38:54
Speaker 1: a time that is really really difficult where her portfolio,
38:57
Speaker 1: think about what's on her plate. But they've given her
39:00
Speaker 1: what she's accepted voting rights, which is dead dead on
39:04
Speaker 1: arrival in Congress, Immigration, which she's the daughter of an immigrant.
39:08
Speaker 1: They sent her down to be the one to be
39:10
Speaker 1: like do not come. They sent her down to make
39:12
Speaker 1: give that message, and she had police reform also dead
39:17
Speaker 1: on arrival. So it's like she has the toughest portfolio
39:20
Speaker 1: in that administration, and so she takes the most hits,
39:23
Speaker 1: but she also doesn't get her flowers for things that
39:25
Speaker 1: she's working on, things like you know, funding for HBCUs
39:28
Speaker 1: she was ahead in that, but they didn't push her
39:30
Speaker 1: out there to let her own that. Why not have
39:33
Speaker 1: her take the applause for the things that she's doing. Well,
39:36
Speaker 1: you know, everything around her is the stuff that isn't working,
39:40
Speaker 1: and so she's taking a lot of the blame for
39:43
Speaker 1: things that are really the fault of bad legislating, fault
39:46
Speaker 1: of a Senate that will not legislate where you have
39:48
Speaker 1: two Democrats who won't help, and so you know the
39:51
Speaker 1: fact that Democrats refuse to fully use their power in
39:54
Speaker 1: the Senate, that's not her fault. She's the head of
39:56
Speaker 1: the Senate, but she can't make them vote. She can't
39:58
Speaker 1: make Joe Mansion behave. So I think she's getting more
40:02
Speaker 1: hits than she deserves and not the credit that she desires.
40:05
Speaker 1: That's why I wish you would call him out because
40:07
Speaker 1: you know, when you don't call him body, it looks
40:08
Speaker 1: like everybody's complicit when you don't call out a mansion,
40:10
Speaker 1: when you don't call out a cinema, to think that
40:11
Speaker 1: everybody's you know, complicit, I think you have a good
40:14
Speaker 1: point there, Charlotte Magne, because you know, in politics, it
40:17
Speaker 1: does feel like sometimes, um, that people in the Democratic
40:20
Speaker 1: Party are operating from a playbook pre twenty sixteen because
40:24
Speaker 1: Donald Trump came in and you know, rip that is
40:28
Speaker 1: like this is the new game. And so when you
40:30
Speaker 1: have people operating um with some a modicum of dignity, um,
40:34
Speaker 1: and I know, you know, our forever floatis the sellow
40:37
Speaker 1: Baba said, when they go h low, you go yeah,
40:42
Speaker 1: you know, the streets and throw some hands if that's
40:44
Speaker 1: what it's going to be. And I think you have
40:46
Speaker 1: to run campaigns that inspire people, and when people don't
40:49
Speaker 1: connect with you on that level. Joey and I talked
40:51
Speaker 1: about this all the time, Madame Vice President, And you
40:53
Speaker 1: know this, Charlotte, she black black, Okay, she went to
40:55
Speaker 1: Howard she ak And when she talks to you, yeah,
40:58
Speaker 1: it is I mean, she sounds so regular, she's so regular,
41:01
Speaker 1: and I just it's unfortunate that more people don't see that.
41:04
Speaker 1: And there's also just the dumbing down of the American electorate.
41:07
Speaker 1: You know, people don't understand civics, they don't understand politics,
41:11
Speaker 1: they don't understand how things work. And you know, when
41:13
Speaker 1: people are occupying or employing I should say, hashtag activism
41:18
Speaker 1: and thinking they've done something and have all the criticism
41:20
Speaker 1: for everybody else, all the people who are like, well,
41:22
Speaker 1: if I was alive during the civil rights movement, well
41:25
Speaker 1: guess what whatever you're doing right now, that's exactly. And
41:31
Speaker 1: when I try to tell people, because I have even
41:33
Speaker 1: my kids, you know, like you know, I'm I'm a
41:34
Speaker 1: whole bitch at this point, you know, getting wrong. They
41:36
Speaker 1: in their twenties, they all vote. I make them vote,
41:38
Speaker 1: and I literally am like, do you want that cell
41:39
Speaker 1: phone build? Because you still have my plans, so you
41:41
Speaker 1: need to vote. So I I really push them. But
41:43
Speaker 1: I mean even they will say to me, why, what's
41:45
Speaker 1: the point? What are we getting? And I always try
41:47
Speaker 1: to remind people if you really think about what did
41:51
Speaker 1: did um uh Trump actually do? Like, okay, we know
41:54
Speaker 1: what he said, you're gonna build the wall, Maxo was
41:56
Speaker 1: gonna pay for it. There is no wall if he
41:58
Speaker 1: didn't do that. That quote was something that was to
42:03
Speaker 1: give us one hundred million dollars, but nothing like well all,
42:07
Speaker 1: I mean, his one big accomplishment during his presidency, during
42:10
Speaker 1: his four years, he did one thing. He passed the
42:13
Speaker 1: biggest tax cut that rich people ever got in the
42:16
Speaker 1: history of this country. That tax cut went like eighty
42:19
Speaker 1: percent to four hundred people. You know, the four hundred
42:21
Speaker 1: richest people in this country were bathing in that money.
42:24
Speaker 1: And if you think about what what we really got,
42:26
Speaker 1: would anybody else below that really got? It really wasn't much,
42:30
Speaker 1: but people they perceived him to have done a lot
42:32
Speaker 1: because because the Stems would put in his name on him.
42:39
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I've seen a lot of I'm
42:42
Speaker 1: curious your thoughts from take over your show. You ask
42:44
Speaker 1: the questions, but I have a question for you because
42:46
Speaker 1: I do see a lot of um black men who
42:50
Speaker 1: are older hip hop heads like buy into that bus.
42:54
Speaker 1: Like I've seen them adopt conservative talking points, and it's
42:57
Speaker 1: just it's baffling to me and us to be like,
42:58
Speaker 1: why don't we just do that did it? Why don't
43:01
Speaker 1: we use our executives because people and you know, to
43:06
Speaker 1: what Joy said earlier, what you said, Like Trump ripped
43:08
Speaker 1: up a playbook, So if you can do that for bad,
43:11
Speaker 1: why can't you do that for good? Like it's really
43:14
Speaker 1: just that simple. Yeah, No, and Democrats don't have that
43:16
Speaker 1: in their DNA. Democrats are not And one of my
43:19
Speaker 1: biggest criticisms of the Democratic Party is number one, they
43:21
Speaker 1: don't how to fight. They just don't know how to fight. Like,
43:24
Speaker 1: if you really want to know how to fight republics,
43:25
Speaker 1: you had to find an ex Republican and they know
43:27
Speaker 1: how to fight. And then the other thing is, and
43:30
Speaker 1: this is the unfortunate piece, they're not good at fighting
43:32
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, they don't have the language, and they
43:35
Speaker 1: don't have the reflex of fighting for us. You know,
43:38
Speaker 1: we'd had to force them. I mean even during the
43:41
Speaker 1: Kenyon era, they had to literally force the Democratic president
43:45
Speaker 1: to do it. You had to push me. It's not
43:46
Speaker 1: like they were willing to do it, you know. And
43:48
Speaker 1: so they don't have that reflex, and so we have
43:50
Speaker 1: to kind of give them the language. And it feels
43:53
Speaker 1: like we're constantly pulling and begging even though we give
43:55
Speaker 1: them our votes. And so I think that's part of
43:57
Speaker 1: the frustration too. It doesn't feel like they're fighting, like
43:59
Speaker 1: you sometimes it's not just fighting, it's being seen to
44:03
Speaker 1: be fighting, it's being visible fighting, and they're not comfortable
44:06
Speaker 1: with that. But then when they do fight for us,
44:08
Speaker 1: it's like a whisper to us, you know, like hat
44:10
Speaker 1: black people, but everybody, Like even yesterday Joe Biden signed
44:23
Speaker 1: an executive order for LGBTQ hate bill. He did, and
44:28
Speaker 1: it's just like, you don't see what's going on with
44:30
Speaker 1: black people in this country. But I mean, they also
44:32
Speaker 1: did sign I mean to give them credit for the
44:34
Speaker 1: first time in what one hundred and something years, there
44:37
Speaker 1: is now an anti lynching act that took since you know,
44:41
Speaker 1: they started, I think in nineteen o four they started
44:43
Speaker 1: trying to pass an anti lynching act that finally passed.
44:45
Speaker 1: That's something Kamala Harris worked on as a senator. Cory Booker,
44:48
Speaker 1: the two of them were the two. It's finally passed, right,
44:51
Speaker 1: and it's anti We'll give them credit, but that's actually law.
44:55
Speaker 1: So there's actually an anti lynching bill, federal anti lynches,
44:57
Speaker 1: just an executive order, no actual law. And if that's
45:00
Speaker 1: stronger than an executive and another thing too, it's like
45:03
Speaker 1: you can't even you seem like you can't even question
45:05
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, Like like, think about when y'all did
45:08
Speaker 1: the the y'all demanded that he basically pick up a
45:12
Speaker 1: black woman to be his v Yeah, y'all got flack
45:14
Speaker 1: from other Democrats black people. That's how deep white supremacy went.
45:19
Speaker 1: Like other black folks like, don't you mess up with
45:21
Speaker 1: mister Charlie. He does we eat good. Don't talk about it.
45:26
Speaker 1: Like we built this country. We put so much into
45:30
Speaker 1: this nation, and everybody else gets to ask for what
45:32
Speaker 1: they want. Gun rights activists, you know, they need to
45:34
Speaker 1: ask for what they want. The LGBT you community get
45:36
Speaker 1: to ask for what they want. The let's HEO community
45:38
Speaker 1: gets to ask for what they want. Why me, the
45:41
Speaker 1: people who I descend from, the folks who built this country,
45:44
Speaker 1: why can't I demand that this country? If we say
45:48
Speaker 1: a government by the people of the people, for the people,
45:50
Speaker 1: why can't for the people flood me and people who
45:52
Speaker 1: look like me and demanding works. Because look, but Joe
45:55
Speaker 1: Biden said he was gonna do two things. He said
45:56
Speaker 1: he was gonna have a black woman vice president. He
45:59
Speaker 1: was demanded of it. He did it. He said I'm
46:01
Speaker 1: gonna put a black one on the Supreme Court. He
46:03
Speaker 1: did it demanding works, and so I think that's the
46:05
Speaker 1: other piece of it is that we can't be passive
46:08
Speaker 1: in our democracy. We as black people need to demand
46:10
Speaker 1: some more stuff because they do owe it to us.
46:12
Speaker 1: They really can't win elections about us. Yes, we're only
46:14
Speaker 1: twelve percent, but we black women in particular are the
46:18
Speaker 1: highest percentage voting population in this count. That's what I
46:21
Speaker 1: was going to say. Black women really do move elections.
46:23
Speaker 1: And I want to ask, how concerned are you about
46:25
Speaker 1: upcoming elections seeing what's been going on around the nation
46:28
Speaker 1: right now. I'm concerned. I'm worried. I mean, I'm genuinely
46:34
Speaker 1: worried about this country because that sense of people feeling
46:39
Speaker 1: frustrated and feeling like they're are getting enough and it's
46:41
Speaker 1: not worth voting is extremely dangerous because if we sit
46:45
Speaker 1: back and say, you know what, I'm gonna punish these Democrats,
46:48
Speaker 1: let the Republicans win, you have no idea who you're
46:50
Speaker 1: dealing with. The Republican Party has been eaten alive by
46:55
Speaker 1: genuine white supremacists, I mean genuine ones. This movement, the
46:59
Speaker 1: Tea Party movement, was one step toward it. They've gone overboard.
47:02
Speaker 1: These are people who don't believe elections should count. They
47:05
Speaker 1: don't believe we should have the right to vote. They
47:07
Speaker 1: don't they believe that we shouldn't have have the right
47:09
Speaker 1: to make white people feel uncomfortable. They're literally passing loss,
47:13
Speaker 1: and you can't make white people feel they and so
47:18
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're willing to punish businesses who were
47:20
Speaker 1: too nice to gay people. Like, we're at a point
47:23
Speaker 1: now where it's fascism. It's straight fascism, and if you
47:26
Speaker 1: sit back, that's how it takes over. So I'm worried
47:28
Speaker 1: that people. They've done a good job of demoralizing us,
47:32
Speaker 1: and we should not be easily demoralized. You know, we
47:35
Speaker 1: need to make sure that, look, we're not voting for
47:37
Speaker 1: change that you're going to get immediately. Republicans waited sixty
47:41
Speaker 1: years to get rid of rov Wade, and they didn't
47:43
Speaker 1: give a damn. They never right. They play the long game.
47:46
Speaker 1: They're like al Qaida. They're like, if it takes one
47:48
Speaker 1: hundred years to defeat your society, we're gonna do it,
47:50
Speaker 1: and we'll keep voting and voting and voting until we
47:53
Speaker 1: get the craziest people in there. They will give us
47:55
Speaker 1: what we want. We say I didn't get what I
47:58
Speaker 1: wanted this election. I voted. Yeah, that's exactly what they want. Yeah,
48:01
Speaker 1: that's that is. But I also think so I think
48:05
Speaker 1: it's two things. One for sure, like we have to
48:07
Speaker 1: participate in this democracy, like it is something for us
48:10
Speaker 1: to protect um and empower. But I also think when
48:14
Speaker 1: you feel like people aren't talking to you, and you
48:17
Speaker 1: feel like there has not been a tangible change in
48:20
Speaker 1: my life overnight. You know, we have the ACA, you know,
48:22
Speaker 1: Obamacare all that, but people want to know, you know what,
48:25
Speaker 1: Like I've been in the hood a long time. You know,
48:27
Speaker 1: it ain't nothing changed. And when you see on television,
48:30
Speaker 1: like I've seen so many conversations about Latino voters without
48:33
Speaker 1: a Latino voter in sight, Black voters. Ain't no black
48:36
Speaker 1: voters on the panel. And you have all these cute
48:38
Speaker 1: little colloquialisms, you know, like Nascar dads and soccer moms.
48:42
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't resonate with us, like what
48:44
Speaker 1: about the basketball dads or you know, the untie voting
48:47
Speaker 1: block and a cousin. But isn't it something that those
48:54
Speaker 1: little nicknames for us that equally apply don't exist and
48:58
Speaker 1: people feel like, well, we're out and they're gonna give
49:03
Speaker 1: you a hard candy when you need it, maybe like
49:05
Speaker 1: I got a hard candy, you know, and we'll be
49:09
Speaker 1: back right here on the world Most Dangerous want to
49:11
Speaker 1: show to Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world Most Dangers
49:17
Speaker 1: want to show to Breakfast Club. CHARLOMAGNEAG and Angelie DJ
49:20
Speaker 1: envying Right now, we're kicking it with miss Joyanne Reid
49:23
Speaker 1: and Tiffany Cross. You guys will have Maria Taylor on. Yeah,
49:26
Speaker 1: and so I want to talk about that because I
49:29
Speaker 1: know she's going to be speaking about her departure from
49:32
Speaker 1: ESPN for the first time. I always feel like sports
49:35
Speaker 1: might be worse than hip hop for women when it
49:37
Speaker 1: comes to working in that field as a journalist. Yeah,
49:40
Speaker 1: and so you know, I'm so interested to hear what
49:44
Speaker 1: she has to say. And she gave the teeth, Yeah
49:46
Speaker 1: she did, spell did spill the teeth. But the thing is,
49:49
Speaker 1: what Maria Taylor went through is going to be relatable
49:52
Speaker 1: to so many of like so many of us show
49:54
Speaker 1: up and the assumption is you didn't deserve to get here,
49:58
Speaker 1: you didn't work hard to get here, when we know
50:00
Speaker 1: we work harder than most to achieve certain levels of success,
50:04
Speaker 1: and she talks about um, you know, the way, not
50:08
Speaker 1: only the way that UM, the woman who accused her
50:13
Speaker 1: of just getting being an affirmative action higher essentially right exactly,
50:18
Speaker 1: but also she talks about the way her company and
50:21
Speaker 1: the colleagues you know UM treated her, which was another
50:23
Speaker 1: disappointed that I have to say again, I was watching
50:27
Speaker 1: these athletes come out there and speak on behalf of
50:30
Speaker 1: Rachel and say, you know, like, well, she always been
50:34
Speaker 1: good to me, you know, I just couldn't imagine how
50:37
Speaker 1: that felt for Maria Taylor. Could you remember what happened
50:39
Speaker 1: with Jamal Hill at the same company And Mike was like,
50:43
Speaker 1: I ain't doing the show without Jamal, Like everybody rallied
50:45
Speaker 1: around her, and it just broke my heart. And we
50:47
Speaker 1: didn't know Maria, but we knew Maria because she was us.
50:51
Speaker 1: And that's really what the special is. We don't know
50:54
Speaker 1: all the black women who will be watching, but we
50:56
Speaker 1: do know you, and we understand you because we are you.
50:58
Speaker 1: And it was really generous of them. Are going to
51:00
Speaker 1: be so generous in spirit and share that story because
51:03
Speaker 1: it enraged us but also made us feel empowered to
51:06
Speaker 1: rally around that's great because a lot of women in
51:08
Speaker 1: the workplace have issues and you might feel like you're alone,
51:11
Speaker 1: you can't speak about it, you lose your job. Then
51:14
Speaker 1: afterwards you don't want to speak about it because you
51:15
Speaker 1: don't want to get blackballed. And then also sometimes you
51:18
Speaker 1: feel like nobody cares. Yeah, absolutely, and you feel And
51:20
Speaker 1: the thing is is that we don't have enough spaces
51:23
Speaker 1: internally in corporate America, even the sort of official ones
51:25
Speaker 1: they set up, you don't necessarily feel that you're safe.
51:28
Speaker 1: You know, if you have a complaint that is uniquely
51:31
Speaker 1: about being a black woman in the space, it's like
51:33
Speaker 1: who do you talk to it? You know? So that's
51:34
Speaker 1: why I mean, I know when I was when I
51:36
Speaker 1: first came back to MSONBC, I was at the Grio
51:39
Speaker 1: and we literally had our little low ceiling. They had
51:41
Speaker 1: us in a bag, you know, they didn't even give
51:43
Speaker 1: us like a lot of space we would like it
51:45
Speaker 1: was the Latino team and the Black team. You just
51:47
Speaker 1: called us the Black Tino Revolution. Who you're back there alone?
51:49
Speaker 1: And we used to have almost everybody black that was
51:52
Speaker 1: like the one off on their team, the one black
51:54
Speaker 1: person on this team, the one black producer on that team,
51:57
Speaker 1: the talent that was on this team, they would come
51:59
Speaker 1: and they would sit with us. We literally would just
52:01
Speaker 1: come and hang out with us, because there's like I
52:02
Speaker 1: just need to be around black people. I don't even
52:04
Speaker 1: need to say anything. I don't even need to talk.
52:06
Speaker 1: I just literally need to be in the presence of
52:08
Speaker 1: my people for five minutes just to be able to
52:10
Speaker 1: decompress from being at work. And you know, and like
52:13
Speaker 1: I said, MSNBC is a decent workplace. It's not there's
52:15
Speaker 1: much worse places. But even in a place that's not
52:19
Speaker 1: the worst, you still need that moment because there's certain
52:21
Speaker 1: things you're going through at work that only other black
52:23
Speaker 1: people can understand. We twist ourselves and not to make
52:26
Speaker 1: other people comfortable, you know what I mean. I mean,
52:29
Speaker 1: you have a room full of all black people. Okay,
52:32
Speaker 1: if one person walks in who's not black, the entire
52:34
Speaker 1: energy changes. We can have a conversation here today that
52:38
Speaker 1: you know, we would all understand, but somebody who is
52:40
Speaker 1: not a member of the culture might not. You know,
52:43
Speaker 1: If I'm like, oh, you put your foot in the
52:44
Speaker 1: egg green, somebody's like who Also, I don't think it's
52:54
Speaker 1: anything wrong with hiring somebody just because they're black. It
52:58
Speaker 1: should I because I was just problem with that though.
53:06
Speaker 1: I mean, you shouldn't be hiring anybody who's now I
53:08
Speaker 1: think any executive that says, hey, we need more black
53:11
Speaker 1: people in here, fine, yeah, we're gonna teach you. Right, Well,
53:15
Speaker 1: if you're not good, we're gonna get you good. Agree
53:17
Speaker 1: with you. One of the conversations that I had with
53:19
Speaker 1: um with with with Vice President Harris Off and unfortunately
53:23
Speaker 1: we weren't rolling at this time. This was afterwards. We
53:25
Speaker 1: both talked about that because sometimes you are off to
53:27
Speaker 1: be intentional about saying this person may not have the
53:30
Speaker 1: most experience, but they're smart, right, they're capable, and they
53:34
Speaker 1: can be taught. And in the in the same situation,
53:38
Speaker 1: somebody in the majority culture might say, you know what,
53:40
Speaker 1: this is my cousin's son, this is my friends. Let
53:43
Speaker 1: me go again and give them the job. So they're
53:44
Speaker 1: getting the job specifically because who knows them. And so
53:48
Speaker 1: if we can say I have this position open and
53:51
Speaker 1: I really want to hire somebody black, I did that.
53:54
Speaker 1: I literally am like, I literally want you know, our
53:57
Speaker 1: our assistants are sitting out there, our aps out there,
54:00
Speaker 1: and it was really in my spirit to say, Normally,
54:02
Speaker 1: the people who get these assistant positions are affluent, young
54:06
Speaker 1: and white, and some of them are brilliant, like my
54:08
Speaker 1: previous AP, brilliant young white man. He's like we call
54:11
Speaker 1: him the sixth three. He's like family. I love him,
54:13
Speaker 1: but I'm like, when it was time to replace him,
54:15
Speaker 1: I was like, my spirit is telling me there is
54:17
Speaker 1: a young black man out there who can do this job,
54:19
Speaker 1: who may not have the most experience, who may never
54:22
Speaker 1: have worked in news. I'm gonna find this young man.
54:24
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find him. And I literally was determined and
54:28
Speaker 1: found him. And Howard went to Howard her assistance to Alpha,
54:33
Speaker 1: my assistance a sigma, you know, like it's a real
54:36
Speaker 1: black black black But I mean they're alone. I mean,
54:41
Speaker 1: if you think about who are the AP's in the company,
54:44
Speaker 1: it's a lot of ivy league young people who are
54:46
Speaker 1: not and I'm not saying they're not they shouldn't be there,
54:48
Speaker 1: but it's not. There aren't a lot of they're not
54:51
Speaker 1: representing America. That's right, and that's all you have, right
54:54
Speaker 1: And so we were very intentional, we both were very
54:56
Speaker 1: intensively back there is a young black man who can
54:58
Speaker 1: do that job, and I'm going to find them and
55:00
Speaker 1: I don't see anything wrong with that. So man, you're
55:02
Speaker 1: gonna be able to hear more conversations like this this
55:05
Speaker 1: Sunday at ten pm on the culture is Black Black Women? Right, yes,
55:10
Speaker 1: very much looking forward to it. And we I mean, look,
55:12
Speaker 1: we don't just talk politics. We talk life. We talked love,
55:17
Speaker 1: We talked about our brothers, you know, our black men.
55:20
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a lot. I mean, it's really
55:22
Speaker 1: genuinely what has culture. It's culture and it's what happens
55:25
Speaker 1: when black women gather. And this is like you get
55:27
Speaker 1: to eavesdrop on a conversation that you wouldn't normally be
55:30
Speaker 1: invited to. So that's really the lens Ye offer. And
55:33
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. It's fun. It's fine. We
55:35
Speaker 1: I mean even Joy have watched it like twice now
55:38
Speaker 1: we still last still time. I just found out though
55:41
Speaker 1: that Joy did not eat a lot at because we
55:43
Speaker 1: were talking so much. I'm like, this is why every
55:45
Speaker 1: shot about I'm like, first of all, I had killer shape,
55:50
Speaker 1: where on if I had tried to eat my whole,
55:56
Speaker 1: I had two pairs of shape. I'm trying to hold
55:58
Speaker 1: this belly in. That's what I get outfit carefully based
56:01
Speaker 1: on how much you plan to eat, right, ma'am right, ma'am. Listen.
56:05
Speaker 1: I wasn't loose flowing like I am today. I was
56:07
Speaker 1: wearing something tight, so I was like, I was not
56:09
Speaker 1: gonna bite anything. Joy and Read and Tiffany Cross the
