- 0:37Speaker 5: I didn't enjoy it as much because I wasn't with
- 0:39Speaker 5: my wife. I was with my daughter, and I couldn't
- 0:40Speaker 5: really dance on my daughter.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I feel the songs, right?
- 0:42Speaker 5: Yeah, so we were just watching. But last night, I
- 0:44Speaker 5: got to really, really enjoy it. So, I mean, it's two,
- 0:47Speaker 5: three hours of nothing but just... Usher and Chris Brown
- 0:51Speaker 5: just singing bangers. I mean, it's an amazing show. You
- 0:56Speaker 5: get there around 8 o'clock, and the DJ, DJ Fresh,
- 0:58Speaker 5: just really controls the crowd. He just makes you feel
- 1:01Speaker 5: warm and makes you feel like your mom is cleaning
- 1:03Speaker 5: the crib and makes you feel like homecoming.
- 1:06Speaker 2: So he sets the tone. Salute to DJ Fresh. What
- 1:08Speaker 2: was the concert?
- 1:09Speaker 5: MetLife out in Jersey with the Giants and the Jets play.
- 1:11Speaker 6: Cool.
- 1:12Speaker 5: Uh, and then after that, uh, Chris Brown and Usher,
- 1:14Speaker 5: there's no opening act. They come out together and they
- 1:16Speaker 5: just start going hit for hit for hit. I think
- 1:19Speaker 5: Chris Brown does like five. Then Usher does five. Then
- 1:21Speaker 5: Chris Brown does five. Then Usher does five. And then
- 1:24Speaker 5: in between, they bring out special guests. So last night
- 1:26Speaker 5: they brought out shine. Shine pole came out.

- 1:37Speaker 5: come out, and they do their own R & B set,
- 1:38Speaker 5: which is dope. And then right when Chris Brown gets
- 1:41Speaker 5: in the air, that's when I get out of there
- 1:43Speaker 5: because I know traffic is going to be crazy, and
- 1:44Speaker 5: I know I've got.
- 1:44Speaker 1: To get to work.
- 1:45Speaker 3: That's like the signal to show the bus.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the bat signal.
- 1:47Speaker 5: When I see Chris Brown go in the air, that means, okay,
- 1:49Speaker 5: it's about maybe 20 minutes left in this league. I've
- 1:52Speaker 5: got to get out of there. So when Chris goes
- 1:53Speaker 5: in the air, that's when I get up out of there.

- 3:29Speaker 7: Good.
- 3:30Speaker 8: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
- 3:33Speaker 8: largest injury law firm. So we start this morning with
- 3:36Speaker 8: some bad news. We have another school shooting. This one
- 3:39Speaker 8: in Oregon, which has left five people dead, including three
- 3:42Speaker 8: children and a teacher and the teenage gunman.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Jesus Christ.
- 3:46Speaker 8: Yeah, it happened in Silver Rail Elementary School. That's in Bend, Oregon.
- 3:50Speaker 8: Police say the victims were just five, eight and 11
- 3:54Speaker 8: years old. A teacher was also killed. Two others, a
- 3:57Speaker 8: seven year old child and a 54 year old teacher.
- 4:00Speaker 8: They are in critical condition this morning. Investigators say the gunman,
- 4:05Speaker 8: he was a 16 year old boy who used a
- 4:07Speaker 8: rifle to shoot through the school's locked doors to get inside.
- 4:12Speaker 8: Police say a community member saw him entering the building,
- 4:16Speaker 8: followed him inside, shot and killed him, stopping the attack.
- 4:21Speaker 8: Bend police say they trained for situations like this and
- 4:24Speaker 8: they were able to respond in minutes.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Let's listen.
- 4:27Speaker 9: About 12.59 p.m., dispatch received the first call reporting a
- 4:34Speaker 9: shot fired.
- 4:35Speaker 7: Into a car.
- 4:37Speaker 9: Our officers were on scene at approximately 1.02 p.m. Seconds later,
- 4:42Speaker 9: we received word over the radio that the suspect in
- 4:47Speaker 9: this incident was down. We received multiple 911 calls during
- 4:51Speaker 9: this incident just in those two minutes reporting an active
- 4:55Speaker 9: shooter in Silver Rail Elementary School.
- 4:58Speaker 8: So this morning, police are still trying to figure out
- 5:01Speaker 8: why the teenager targeted the school, whether he had any
- 5:04Speaker 8: connection to it. Meanwhile, families, they gathered for a vigil
- 5:08Speaker 8: as the community continues to mourn this morning.
- 5:11Speaker 3: The district says.
- 5:12Speaker 8: Crisis counselors are being made available to students, parents and staff.
- 5:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder so many times what the motive was.
- 5:19Speaker 5: I mean, this young man was 16 years old shooting
- 5:21Speaker 5: up a school. And I always wonder a couple of things, like,
- 5:24Speaker 5: you know, the reason why. And also, how does a
- 5:26Speaker 5: 16-year-old get their hands on a firearm?
- 5:28Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And I know that rifles are.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Legal at the age of 16, but there is no 16-year...
- 5:34Speaker 5: That should be supervised. There should be no 16-year-old or
- 5:37Speaker 5: 17-year-old or any child that should be able to have
- 5:40Speaker 5: and own a firearm without, you know, a parent's supervision. Like,
- 5:45Speaker 5: that is so strange to me.
- 5:46Speaker 7: It really is.
- 5:47Speaker 8: And I'm sure as they continue their investigation, they will uncover...
- 5:51Speaker 8: you know, uncover more and find out, you know, the
- 5:55Speaker 8: motive and why this young man had the was able
- 5:58Speaker 8: to get that gun and, you know, why he went
- 6:01Speaker 8: into an elementary school.
- 6:02Speaker 7: I mean, that is just beyond sad.
- 6:04Speaker 5: And when you hear these kids, these teen shootings and
- 6:06Speaker 5: these kids shootings like this and these the people that's
- 6:08Speaker 5: doing the shooting is under a certain age. I always wonder,
- 6:11Speaker 5: you know, if you start charging the parents, does that
- 6:13Speaker 5: does that make the parents start making sure those firearms
- 6:16Speaker 5: are in the safe? Does it make sure that they
- 6:18Speaker 5: make sure the firearms are away from kids? Because at
- 6:20Speaker 5: 16 years old, you shouldn't be able to obtain a
- 6:22Speaker 5: rifle and be able to take it without a parent knowing,
- 6:25Speaker 5: in my opinion.
- 6:25Speaker 8: Yeah, we've seen that happen in a few cases lately
- 6:28Speaker 8: where they are charging the parents if something like this
- 6:30Speaker 8: does happen.
- 6:31Speaker 3: So we will see what happens with this one. Now
- 6:34Speaker 3: to a.
- 6:34Speaker 8: Federal judge who will decide whether those ballots can be counted.
- 6:37Speaker 8: So we talked about this yesterday. The Trump administration, they
- 6:41Speaker 8: gave California 48 hours to verify the citizenship of thousands
- 6:45Speaker 8: of voters. Now that deadline passed and now the Justice
- 6:47Speaker 8: Department is suing the state for failing to comply. So
- 6:51Speaker 8: the federal government claims more than 20,000 registered voters may
- 6:54Speaker 8: not be U.S. citizens and their mail-in ballots should not count.
- 6:58Speaker 8: This is, again, in the state of California. But California
- 7:01Speaker 8: says there is no evidence that these voters are ineligible.
- 7:04Speaker 8: Los Angeles County, they've refused to open the list of
- 7:08Speaker 8: names that the government gave them because they gave it
- 7:10Speaker 8: to them on a thumb drive and they said that
- 7:12Speaker 8: does not fit.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Their security standards.
- 7:14Speaker 8: So right now where we are, a federal judge will
- 7:16Speaker 8: decide if those ballots can be counted in. But it
- 7:20Speaker 8: just seems like more and more every day we're going
- 7:23Speaker 8: through something as the midterms come up where we have
- 7:26Speaker 8: the administration just trying to figure out, you know, whose
- 7:29Speaker 8: ballots should be counted, whose ballots can't be counted. And
- 7:32Speaker 8: it just doesn't seem like there's any like real criteria
- 7:36Speaker 8: on how they're deciding this type of stuff.
- 7:38Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 7:38Speaker 2: What's up, Lo?
- 7:38Speaker 5: I just feel like we've been talking and having these
- 7:40Speaker 5: conversations for too many years now.
- 7:42Speaker 6: Right.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Anytime there's elections approaching, there's always a.
- 7:45Speaker 5: Problem with the mail-in ballots. There's always a problem the
- 7:47Speaker 5: way that people can vote. And it just seems like
- 7:49Speaker 5: this is America, right? Like, we shouldn't be having these
- 7:52Speaker 5: issues for this long. Like, we've been talking about this.
- 7:55Speaker 5: We've been doing the Breakfast Club for, what, 16, 17 years?
- 7:57Speaker 5: We've been talking about this same issue for 16, 17 years,
- 8:00Speaker 5: which sounds crazy.
- 8:02Speaker 8: I think, though, as it gets closer to midterms, we're
- 8:04Speaker 8: seeing so much more of this as, you know, Republicans
- 8:08Speaker 8: are feeling a little threatened about losing Congress.
- 8:10Speaker 3: And so.
- 8:11Speaker 8: We'll continue to see, you know, what happens. We're just, what,
- 8:14Speaker 8: about 19 days from midterms?
- 8:16Speaker 3: Good morning. Good morning.
- 8:17Speaker 7: Good morning, y'all.
- 8:18Speaker 11: It just shows you how important the vote is. I mean,
- 8:20Speaker 11: all the time, but I think that it shows you
- 8:22Speaker 11: that as well, too.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Yeah, but I understand why people are exhausted. I understand
- 8:25Speaker 5: why people... have to think twice about actually going out
- 8:27Speaker 5: and voting. And I know we hear it all the time.
- 8:29Speaker 2: You got to go out there and vote. It's got
- 8:30Speaker 2: to do this. We got to do that. But people
- 8:32Speaker 2: are exhausted. Like it's the same issue every year for
- 8:35Speaker 2: the last 20 years. It's like, Jesus Christ, when do
- 8:38Speaker 2: things change? When do we get an opportunity? We've been
- 8:40Speaker 2: going out and voting, but we got to continue to.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Not only are you tired of it, you're discouraged.
- 8:45Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 8:45Speaker 7: It's like, yo, you know, you don't know. A lot
- 8:48Speaker 7: of people are scared. But be scared enough to vote.
- 8:52Speaker 2: That's right.
- 8:52Speaker 7: Good morning, y'all.
- 8:53Speaker 3: What's up? Good morning.
- 8:54Speaker 7: All right, guys.

- 13:41Speaker 2: in a minute.
- 13:42Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
- 13:43Speaker 17: No, there was a little situation.
- 13:45Speaker 7: Y'all know who.
- 13:47Speaker 22: I just wanted to clear up something. I wasn't going
- 13:49Speaker 22: to clear it up. I actually wasn't even going to
- 13:52Speaker 22: call in anymore.
- 13:53Speaker 4: But when I went to the.
- 13:54Speaker 22: Mintu Wealth Expo, so many people came up to me
- 13:59Speaker 22: because I asked a question and stuff like that. And
- 14:02Speaker 22: when I said who I was, the whole room cheered.
- 14:06Speaker 22: So there was a bunch of people that came up
- 14:08Speaker 22: to me and was like, yo, you shouldn't stop calling.
- 14:10Speaker 22: But I'm just going to clarify something right now.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Okay.
- 14:13Speaker 17: He got on here and lied.
- 14:15Speaker 22: I never told him to dig up his dead sister
- 14:17Speaker 22: or whatever like that.
- 14:18Speaker 17: But I told myself I wasn't going to speak. on
- 14:22Speaker 17: any of that anymore. But I just wanted to clear
- 14:25Speaker 17: the air.
- 14:25Speaker 22: That is not what happened. And I got the receipts
- 14:28Speaker 22: to everything that happened. So when people get on the
- 14:31Speaker 22: radio and lie, now the Bruffies Club is mad with
- 14:35Speaker 22: me off of a lie.
- 14:36Speaker 3: You understand? But I'm over that.
- 14:40Speaker 2: It is what it is. But no, the.
- 14:42Speaker 22: Minty Wealth Expo was amazing. It was like really amazing.
- 14:48Speaker 22: I got to meet Nyla. I miss Mimi, though.
- 14:52Speaker 17: I didn't see Mimi at all.
- 14:54Speaker 4: But the Minty Wealth Expo was amazing.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Like totally amazing.
- 14:57Speaker 14: Like.
- 14:58Speaker 5: I'm glad you had a good time. And Stacey, don't
- 15:00Speaker 5: stop calling in here, man. You're part of the show.
- 15:02Speaker 5: You call all the time.
- 15:03Speaker 2: We appreciate you.
- 15:04Speaker 17: I mean, yeah, I get it. But, you know, I
- 15:06Speaker 17: watch every day. So I saw Jess' reaction.
- 15:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I was mad at you.
- 15:10Speaker 17: I saw Lauren's reaction.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 15:12Speaker 22: And I'm not mad at them because they're going based
- 15:15Speaker 22: off of a lie. So I'm not mad at their reaction,
- 15:18Speaker 22: but they didn't even give me the benefit of the doubt.
- 15:21Speaker 2: It's so funny.
- 15:22Speaker 22: Y'all were talking about the benefit of the doubt yesterday.
- 15:24Speaker 22: They didn't even give me the benefit of the doubt.
- 15:26Speaker 3: It was that time when you.
- 15:27Speaker 11: It was because you called after that claim was made,
- 15:30Speaker 11: and you kind of stood ten toes down.
- 15:32Speaker 8: No, I didn't.
- 15:32Speaker 14: You did.
- 15:33Speaker 3: I remember you did. And Charlamagne wanted to talk about it.
- 15:36Speaker 3: You stood ten toes down on it. I didn't want
- 15:37Speaker 3: to talk about it.
- 15:38Speaker 7: Okay, that's the thing.
- 15:39Speaker 3: No, y'all are right.
- 15:40Speaker 17: Somebody else brought that to my attention. Charlamagne wanted to
- 15:44Speaker 17: talk about.
- 15:45Speaker 22: It, but at that time, it was stressing me out
- 15:47Speaker 22: so bad. And I was about to go to Atlanta
- 15:51Speaker 22: for my birthday vacation, so I told myself, When I'm ready.
- 15:55Speaker 17: To talk about it, I'll talk about it. But no,
- 15:57Speaker 17: I love y'all. Don't ever think that I was mad
- 16:00Speaker 17: at y'all. That had nothing to do with y'all.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 16:03Speaker 17: That had nothing to do with based off of a lie.
- 16:06Speaker 19: Right.
- 16:06Speaker 17: And you're not going to tarnish my name based off
- 16:09Speaker 17: of a lie.
- 16:09Speaker 7: I understand.
- 16:10Speaker 3: Yeah, we did feel a type of way.
- 16:12Speaker 2: But I love y'all.
- 16:13Speaker 17: I listen to y'all all the time.

- 16:35Speaker 17: that was him.
- 16:36Speaker 2: I think I walked right past him.

- 18:39Speaker 12: Hey.
- 18:40Speaker 11: So we were talking a little bit about Young Miami yesterday.
- 18:43Speaker 11: And there's an interview that is going viral right now.
- 18:45Speaker 11: She sat down with DJ Greg Street down in Atlanta.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Slew to the OG Greg Street.
- 18:51Speaker 4: Yes.

- 18:58Speaker 3: Let's take a listen. We gonna ever get another City
- 19:01Speaker 3: Girls album? Inshallah.
- 19:02Speaker 20: I think after time, like time goes on and people

- 19:32Speaker 3: But they're in a good place.
- 19:33Speaker 11: And we know that because we've seen them like, you know,
- 19:36Speaker 11: sporadically supporting like birthday parties or whatever, but I think
- 19:39Speaker 11: it gives the fans hope. I'm 100% a City Girls
- 19:42Speaker 11: fan with them together. I've been with them separately too,
- 19:44Speaker 11: but I would love to hear music from them again
- 19:47Speaker 11: since they both kind of found their lanes.
- 19:48Speaker 7: No, most definitely.
- 19:49Speaker 2: I do too.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Yes.
- 19:50Speaker 11: And I wanted to also, uh, shout out young Miami
- 19:52Speaker 11: because we were talking about, uh, while a, uh, Probably
- 19:55Speaker 11: last week in the song that he submitted for the Grammys.

- 20:09Speaker 3: So we'll see when the nominations come out.
- 20:12Speaker 11: Yeah, she's in a few shots. Yeah, we'll see when
- 20:15Speaker 11: the nomination comes out where she lands.
- 20:17Speaker 2: As far as Song of the Year, it would be
- 20:19Speaker 2: Rap Song of the Year, right? Or just Song of
- 20:20Speaker 2: the Year overall?
- 20:22Speaker 3: Let me see. I don't know. Song of the year

- 20:49Speaker 3: Janice, Shut the F Up was huge this summer. Yeah.
- 20:53Speaker 2: I heard a lot of drink.
- 20:55Speaker 3: I heard a lot of drink.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I guess Janice is, but that wasn't big enough to
- 20:59Speaker 2: spin that.
- 20:59Speaker 14: No.
- 21:00Speaker 3: But she gotta let them know it was big.
- 21:02Speaker 18: It wasn't bigger than Spin That, but those were other
- 21:05Speaker 18: songs that I heard repeatedly over the summer.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Well, in other.
- 21:09Speaker 11: Music news, Tank, I know you said you saw him
- 21:12Speaker 11: last night, Envy, and you were admiring his body.
- 21:15Speaker 3: I did not.
- 21:15Speaker 2: I didn't say he looked like an action girl.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Y'all said admiring his body, you know?
- 21:18Speaker 2: Tank made me feel a way. He came on the
- 21:20Speaker 2: stage with no shirt on.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Crazy. He looked like an action girl. Muscles was coming
- 21:24Speaker 3: out of place with muscles.
- 21:25Speaker 18: And your wife looking at you like, you need to

- 21:28Speaker 18: already kissed her during that moment. I'm going to kiss her,
- 21:30Speaker 18: so you got to keep your eyes on me.
- 21:31Speaker 3: I know, that's right.
- 21:32Speaker 11: Well, Tank just made Billboard chart history with his song. Yes,
- 21:36Speaker 11: he came up here and talked about, you know, his
- 21:38Speaker 11: experience album. The R & B singer has earned his
- 21:41Speaker 11: 12th number one on the Billboard's adult R & B
- 21:44Speaker 11: airplay chart. So this is breaking his tie with Charlie
- 21:47Speaker 11: Wilson for the most chart toppers by a male artist
- 21:49Speaker 11: in the rankings or in the list 33 year chart.
- 21:53Speaker 11: Only Alicia Keys with 14 number ones has more overall.

- 24:25Speaker 5: The Broncos beat the Seahawks last night 17-14 in overtime. Now,
- 24:29Speaker 5: if you've been watching Major League Baseball, I stopped because
- 24:31Speaker 5: my Yankees are out. But if you have been, salute
- 24:33Speaker 5: to the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Drop a bomb for them. They swept the Los.
- 24:37Speaker 5: Angeles Dodgers last night 6-4. So they are headed to
- 24:39Speaker 5: the World Series. And they're going to see, I guess,
- 24:42Speaker 5: who wins against the Cleveland Guardians in the Tampa Bay Rays.
- 24:45Speaker 3: Yes, I saw that game.
- 24:47Speaker 7: All the innings.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Good morning, y'all.
- 24:55Speaker 8: So we start this hour with it. We're going to
- 24:58Speaker 8: be back in North Carolina. But first, Front Page News
- 25:01Speaker 8: is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.
- 25:04Speaker 8: So yesterday we talked a little bit about what was
- 25:06Speaker 8: going on in North Carolina with the police officers and
- 25:09Speaker 8: that racist group chat. Well, the police department says now
- 25:12Speaker 8: after some investigation that it found no evidence that the
- 25:15Speaker 8: officers racist messages were affected how they treated people on
- 25:19Speaker 8: the job. So these six officers, they were linked to
- 25:23Speaker 8: that group chat. It was filled with racial slurs, offensive jokes,
- 25:26Speaker 8: and even alleged competition to see who could pull over
- 25:28Speaker 8: the most black people.
- 25:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 8: Police Chief Estella Patterson, though, says her department went back
- 25:34Speaker 8: and they reviewed body camera footage and complaints involving those officers.
- 25:39Speaker 3: And here's what she says that she found. Let's listen.
- 25:41Speaker 6: As soon as we learned of this, of the involved officers,
- 25:45Speaker 6: we immediately conducted audits of their body worn footage. We
- 25:50Speaker 6: reviewed their traffic stops, their traffic stop datas, we looked
- 25:53Speaker 6: at their arrest records, and we looked to see if
- 25:56Speaker 6: any of those officers had external complaints. As of this point,
- 25:59Speaker 6: we have not found any evidence of this, but I
- 26:02Speaker 6: have asked our federal partners to look at the possibility
- 26:05Speaker 6: of civil rights violations.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Yeah, now she's a sister. The chief is a sister.
- 26:09Speaker 5: But my question is, they were able to look at
- 26:12Speaker 5: all that body footage that fast?
- 26:14Speaker 3: Like, there's no way in hell. How long those officers
- 26:16Speaker 3: been on the job?
- 26:17Speaker 5: Like, there's no way that they were able to go
- 26:19Speaker 5: through every stop, every conversation, everything.
- 26:22Speaker 2: I just don't believe, personally, that they were able to
- 26:25Speaker 2: do it that fast.
- 26:26Speaker 8: Yeah, it does raise some questions. Three of the officers
- 26:30Speaker 8: have already resigned. The other three are facing termination. But
- 26:33Speaker 8: the investigation isn't over. The FBI is looking into whether
- 26:36Speaker 8: civil rights... Their civil rights were violated. And the police chief,
- 26:40Speaker 8: she says that she wants all six officers to lose
- 26:43Speaker 8: their law enforcement certificates so they can't work as police
- 26:46Speaker 8: officers anywhere in North Carolina, though.
- 26:50Speaker 2: I went anywhere in the country.
- 26:51Speaker 5: The fact that they've been talking like this, why would
- 26:53Speaker 5: you want those officers in any other department?
- 26:55Speaker 2: That makes no sense.
- 26:58Speaker 5: And I wonder if I was an individual that got
- 26:59Speaker 5: pulled over and I feel like I was pulled over wrongly, right?
- 27:02Speaker 5: No matter what it was, if it was a simple
- 27:03Speaker 5: traffic stop or it was something worse, you're going to
- 27:06Speaker 5: have to explain why you pulled me over and tell
- 27:08Speaker 5: me that it wasn't because I was black or tell
- 27:10Speaker 5: me because it wasn't because of whatever reason.
- 27:12Speaker 2: That they've been saying it. Yeah, that's going to be
- 27:13Speaker 2: a huge problem.
- 27:14Speaker 5: And I still don't believe a day or two was
- 27:18Speaker 5: able to see all those body cameras.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 27:20Speaker 8: And if I were pulled over, and knowing what I
- 27:22Speaker 8: know now, I would want my case re-looked at.
- 27:24Speaker 14: Absolutely.
- 27:25Speaker 8: So I feel like they're going to get a mountain of.
- 27:27Speaker 7: Yeah, a mountain. Like Amy said, man, there's no way
- 27:30Speaker 7: y'all could have went through all that.
- 27:31Speaker 3: This is years.
- 27:32Speaker 18: Y'all treating this like a game. You can pull over
- 27:35Speaker 18: the most black people.
- 27:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:36Speaker 6: Wow.
- 27:38Speaker 8: Meanwhile, six flags over Georgia. It is reopening today, just
- 27:41Speaker 8: four days after a father fell to his death from
- 27:44Speaker 8: that roller coaster. The 42-year-old Hassan Kareem, he was thrown
- 27:48Speaker 8: from Goliath the ride on Monday. Police now say four
- 27:51Speaker 8: other children were also injured in the incident. And the
- 27:55Speaker 8: park will open at 6 p.m. tonight, but the Goliath
- 27:57Speaker 8: roller coaster will remain closed.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Now they're back open.
- 28:00Speaker 8: They are back open as of tonight.
- 28:02Speaker 7: That's crazy.
- 28:03Speaker 8: But the roller coaster itself is going to remain closed,
- 28:06Speaker 8: but investigators are still trying to determine what went wrong.
- 28:09Speaker 8: But at least 11 other roller coasters have been shut
- 28:11Speaker 8: down across North America as the parks review similar rides.
- 28:16Speaker 18: Well, I guess it is a business. It's like, all right,
- 28:17Speaker 18: we got to keep the show moving.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a business.
- 28:20Speaker 5: You know the parks are going to be back open.
- 28:21Speaker 5: But I was talking to my wife about this last night.
- 28:23Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
- 28:24Speaker 5: You would assume that Great Adventure and some of these
- 28:26Speaker 5: huge places do more checks than anybody else. So now
- 28:29Speaker 5: when they have the local carnivals that come to town,
- 28:32Speaker 5: am I going to let my kids on any of
- 28:34Speaker 5: those rides? Because you just assume that Great Adventure, who's
- 28:39Speaker 5: a billion dollar company, is going to make sure they
- 28:41Speaker 5: take care and watch everything. These smaller independent carnivals, will
- 28:45Speaker 5: they do the same? Will they be watching it the same?
- 28:47Speaker 18: I mean, that's the thing. They're traveling, so they have
- 28:50Speaker 18: to put this stuff together. I'm thinking that would be
- 28:53Speaker 18: safer than all these old-ass roller coasters at these amusement
- 28:59Speaker 18: parks that hasn't been maintenanced in years.
- 29:06Speaker 3: I don't get on any of those type of rides.
- 29:07Speaker 3: And I love them, and it's crazy. Incidents like this.
- 29:11Speaker 7: Make me a little afraid.
- 29:12Speaker 18: I ain't going to stop riding them, but I'm just saying.
- 29:14Speaker 3: I think it's going to change the temperature, though.
- 29:15Speaker 8: I think you're definitely going to find people who are like,
- 29:17Speaker 8: I'm not getting back on these roller coasters anymore.
- 29:19Speaker 5: But I'm sure if we do our research, you'll see
- 29:21Speaker 5: more and more people have been killed in these amusement parks.
- 29:24Speaker 2: This one was just publicized. It's crazy.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Because of the way it happened.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Because of the way it happened.
- 29:28Speaker 5: But what Charlamagne said the other day is like, now
- 29:30Speaker 5: it's going to start getting to the VR. Like, if
- 29:31Speaker 5: you go to Disney World, they have so many VR rides,
- 29:34Speaker 5: virtual reality rides, that feel just like the roller coaster.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Give you the same scare. Way safer. Feet on the ground.
- 29:40Speaker 1: That's right.
- 29:41Speaker 10: Less whiskey.
- 29:41Speaker 8: None of that. And in HBCU news, guys, some big
- 29:47Speaker 8: news out of New Orleans. So Xavier University is making
- 29:50Speaker 8: history with a new HBCU medical school. Don't. The school
- 29:54Speaker 8: just received preliminary accreditation, becoming the fifth HBCU medical school
- 29:58Speaker 8: in the country. Let's listen.
- 30:00Speaker 3: With accreditation, we can recruit. We're open for business. We're
- 30:04Speaker 3: accepting applications with the goal of taking our first 50
- 30:08Speaker 3: students starting next summer.
- 30:11Speaker 1: That's amazing.
- 30:11Speaker 8: That's really good.
- 30:13Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 30:13Speaker 8: So this matters because black doctors make up just 5%
- 30:17Speaker 8: of physicians nationwide. And Xavier plans to welcome its first
- 30:20Speaker 8: medical students in 2027. And then tuition will be 19%
- 30:25Speaker 8: below the private medical school average with some students. And
- 30:28Speaker 8: they could qualify for four years of free tuition in
- 30:31Speaker 8: exchange for a five-year work commitment. So this is, you know,
- 30:34Speaker 8: really good, especially with the attacks on DEI. and student
- 30:38Speaker 8: loans and all the different things. And so now this
- 30:40Speaker 8: HBCU is stepping up to fill that gap. So we
- 30:43Speaker 8: love that.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 30:44Speaker 8: Absolutely. Okay, guys, well, that is your Front Page News,

- 31:20Speaker 1: What's up?
- 31:20Speaker 3: How you feeling?
- 31:22Speaker 2: Oh, this is amazing.
- 31:22Speaker 23: Yeah, I feel great.
- 31:23Speaker 2: I've been waiting to see you, man, because I wanted
- 31:25Speaker 2: to ask you something.
- 31:26Speaker 3: What's up? Can I curse?
- 31:29Speaker 14: Yes.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Feel free to be yourself.
- 31:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 31:32Speaker 20: When you wrote the joke about women being dressed like
- 31:36Speaker 20: whores in the gym for Shane Gillis, how did you
- 31:38Speaker 20: pitch it?
- 31:40Speaker 2: Oh, no, I I didn't write that joke, by the way.
- 31:44Speaker 15: I was just saying there's two groups of people I
- 31:48Speaker 15: do not want beef with.
- 31:49Speaker 23: That is very angry white guys and very angry white women.
- 31:54Speaker 23: And he seems to hit both of them. Yeah, I
- 31:58Speaker 23: don't I don't want to I don't I don't know
- 32:00Speaker 23: nothing about that joke.
- 32:02Speaker 1: That's all I had.
- 32:05Speaker 3: He wrote for himself.
- 32:07Speaker 2: I don't know who wrote that. Good answer. Well, it
- 32:10Speaker 2: wasn't me. Good answer.
- 32:11Speaker 5: I want to know, so when people come on Saturday
- 32:14Speaker 5: Night Live, how do you pitch them what they should
- 32:17Speaker 5: be doing?
- 32:17Speaker 2: So, for instance, we've seen Jalen Brunson there.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:20Speaker 2: And I've seen some of the stuff. To me, it
- 32:22Speaker 2: wasn't funny.
- 32:22Speaker 3: It just seemed like it was.
- 32:23Speaker 2: He's the same man as you.
- 32:25Speaker 3: One day, my boy was in here like, yo, it
- 32:26Speaker 3: was whack.
- 32:27Speaker 7: He was the same.
- 32:28Speaker 3: I was like, nah, don't do that. I said it
- 32:32Speaker 3: wasn't funny. I said it wasn't funny. I thought with that.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Lead with that.
- 32:36Speaker 6: Nope.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Welcome to the breakfast table.
- 32:41Speaker 3: They think everybody black there are like that, the angry
- 32:43Speaker 3: black people.
- 32:44Speaker 23: That's the funniest part about doing SNL is like, you know,
- 32:48Speaker 23: when a black person hosts You have to be, you're
- 32:51Speaker 23: the one.
- 32:52Speaker 3: That's like, what happened?
- 32:55Speaker 23: I'm not the head writer no more. I stopped being
- 32:58Speaker 23: head writer maybe like four seasons ago.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Why? Why?
- 33:04Speaker 15: It's a hard job. It's for reasons that you guys
- 33:08Speaker 15: are expressing right now. That's why it don't take the same.
- 33:11Speaker 15: It's a very difficult job.
- 33:13Speaker 23: I mean, it's a... It's a fun job, but it's
- 33:15Speaker 23: a lot, especially with doing update. You know, you kind
- 33:18Speaker 23: of like are very distracted. It's hard to be on
- 33:20Speaker 23: camera and to be responsible for the rest of the show.
- 33:24Speaker 7: Was that your choice that you're not, that you weren't
- 33:26Speaker 7: the head writer?
- 33:26Speaker 23: Yeah, I didn't want to be head writer in the
- 33:28Speaker 23: first place, to be honest with you. That's just more work.
- 33:32Speaker 2: It was everywhere.
- 33:33Speaker 3: First black head writer. Yes.
- 33:35Speaker 23: Yeah, I felt that comfortable because it wasn't like, you know,
- 33:38Speaker 23: there was like a rule against it.
- 33:40Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like it wasn't like a.
- 33:41Speaker 23: I didn't break a barrier. It was just, you know,
- 33:43Speaker 23: I just happened to be, I might've been the first
- 33:45Speaker 23: guy to apply.
- 33:48Speaker 11: But people have that conversation with SNL though, about like
- 33:50Speaker 11: black comedians being there or not black women, comedians being
- 33:53Speaker 11: there or not.
- 33:54Speaker 3: And just the diversity there. So I think that's why
- 33:57Speaker 3: it was a.
- 33:57Speaker 23: Thing too, of like, it was, it was fascinating because
- 34:00Speaker 23: when I first came to SNL, I guess it was 13, 2013.
- 34:04Speaker 23: I was the first, I was the only black writer period.
- 34:08Speaker 23: So like I was the only one there. And then,
- 34:11Speaker 23: you know, by the time I was head writer, there
- 34:13Speaker 23: was about five or six, maybe black cast members. And
- 34:17Speaker 23: it was like maybe about four or five black writers.
- 34:20Speaker 23: And it felt like a big change in a big shift.
- 34:23Speaker 23: So yeah, it was kind of cool to see just
- 34:26Speaker 23: that incarnation of the show.
- 34:27Speaker 2: How often do people say, I don't want to do that. Oh,
- 34:29Speaker 2: that's whack. Well, that's trash. All the time.
- 34:31Speaker 23: I mean, we write like 40 to 50 sketches a week.
- 34:35Speaker 23: We read about 40 of them and we pick about
- 34:38Speaker 23: 10 of them. And then by the time we go
- 34:39Speaker 23: to air, it's about seven of them. So like, A lot,
- 34:43Speaker 23: you know, and it's a lot of different reasons why
- 34:45Speaker 23: it could be two similar premises that we can't have
- 34:47Speaker 23: on the show. You know, it's like building a set,
- 34:49Speaker 23: you know what I mean? It's like building like any
- 34:51Speaker 23: kind of hour set. It's a 90-minute show. You kind
- 34:53Speaker 23: of have balance. It's got to be pop culture. It's
- 34:57Speaker 23: got to be something dark. It's got to be something taped.
- 34:59Speaker 23: It's got to be, you know, it's like a different
- 35:01Speaker 23: kind of real estate. There's a lot that goes into
- 35:04Speaker 23: producing a show.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Everybody's not game for everything y'all write like a Shane
- 35:07Speaker 2: Gillis is.
- 35:09Speaker 23: Comedians are probably the hardest to write for because they
- 35:13Speaker 23: know how to be funny on their own so you
- 35:15Speaker 23: know they don't trust everything yeah they know how to
- 35:18Speaker 23: get they laugh you know like if i tell you
- 35:19Speaker 23: to read something and it's gonna be funny you don't
- 35:21Speaker 23: think it's funny you're gonna it's gonna be a hard
- 35:23Speaker 23: time for you to kind of give your all to
- 35:26Speaker 23: it but for an athlete or for an actor they
- 35:29Speaker 23: they're more trusting they're like yo if you say it's
- 35:31Speaker 23: funny and i'll do it right so they're like easier
- 35:33Speaker 23: to write for comedians.
- 35:34Speaker 20: Are tough are there more limitations on the cast than
- 35:37Speaker 20: it is for the guest host because i think about
- 35:40Speaker 20: somebody like shane he's you know he got fired from
- 35:44Speaker 20: snl but then he's hosted three times so what changed
- 35:47Speaker 20: did society change did shane become too successful to ignore
- 35:51Speaker 20: because he feels like they can get away with stuff
- 35:52Speaker 20: that the actual cast can't I think when you sell
- 35:57Speaker 20: out a football field, it's hard to argue with you
- 36:01Speaker 20: when you say you know what you're doing, you know?
- 36:03Speaker 23: So I think, you know, you see it too with Chappelle.
- 36:05Speaker 23: You see it with, you know, Burr. I feel like
- 36:08Speaker 23: we sort of let comedians sort of do their thing.
- 36:11Speaker 23: That's what the show is, you know? It's supposed to
- 36:15Speaker 23: be irreverent, you know? It's supposed to be sort of exciting.
- 36:18Speaker 23: That's kind of what I love about this show is
- 36:19Speaker 23: that it still makes people react. It still has people talking,
- 36:23Speaker 23: you know? Whether they like it or not, you know,
- 36:25Speaker 23: I feel like it's like being a Nick or a Yankee,
- 36:29Speaker 23: you know?
- 36:29Speaker 2: It's like, when it's bad, you're going to hear about
- 36:31Speaker 2: it in New York, you know, for sure. So how
- 36:33Speaker 2: do you prepare for, like, Drewski? I'm excited about that, too.
- 36:38Speaker 2: So how do you prepare for that one? We'll see.
- 36:40Speaker 2: I mean, we never know. We can't prepare for a show....
- 36:45Speaker 23: Before it's happening. It's like a boxer. You don't think
- 36:49Speaker 23: about fights that you're going to have in the future.
- 36:51Speaker 23: You think about what's in front of you. I think
- 36:54Speaker 23: Drewski's three shows away or two?
- 36:57Speaker 3: In November.
- 36:59Speaker 23: We're not even thinking about it until he gets there.
- 37:01Speaker 23: The show happens so fast.
- 37:03Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 37:03Speaker 18: But y'all would give a person like him free range though, right? Obviously,
- 37:07Speaker 18: to stay within the parameters of what that is.
- 37:09Speaker 23: I'm sure he's going to have a ton of ideas.
- 37:11Speaker 23: That's why we want him.
- 37:12Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 37:14Speaker 2: I think it's going to be dope.
- 37:15Speaker 23: Really dope. I think it's going to be dope for him.
- 37:17Speaker 23: It's going to be crazy for us. It's going to
- 37:20Speaker 23: be exciting.
- 37:21Speaker 2: It's interesting. I mean, does Drewski need SNL or does
- 37:23Speaker 2: SNL need Drewski? I don't think Drewski needs anything. You
- 37:27Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 37:28Speaker 3: And I think, but I do think the show's made
- 37:31Speaker 3: for him.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:32Speaker 23: It's made for his skill set and it's going to
- 37:34Speaker 23: be really cool to see him take advantage of it.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Does SNL adapt to his humor or does he have
- 37:40Speaker 2: to adapt to SNL?
- 37:41Speaker 23: He doesn't have to adapt to us at all. I think, uh,
- 37:44Speaker 23: I don't think our humor is that far apart. I mean,
- 37:47Speaker 23: I think, you know, SNL is, is tough in the
- 37:51Speaker 23: limitations of what you can do in the parameters. It's
- 37:55Speaker 23: not a taped thing. You can't just, it's not edited.
- 37:57Speaker 2: It's live.
- 37:58Speaker 23: You kind of got to go, you got to have premise.
- 38:00Speaker 23: You got to have story. You got to, it's hard.
- 38:02Speaker 23: Even we do it all the time and we get
- 38:03Speaker 23: it wrong sometimes, you know what I mean? But when
- 38:05Speaker 23: it's right, it's, it's, it's exciting. It's iconic. You know,
- 38:07Speaker 23: people remember that for the rest of their lives. So, um,
- 38:11Speaker 23: It's going to be cool to see him in that space.
- 38:13Speaker 2: That's interesting. Could the show's creative process make it less funny?
- 38:17Speaker 2: The reason I ask that is because I'm sure Drewky
- 38:20Speaker 2: doesn't do them sketches in one take. Hell no, nobody does.
- 38:27Speaker 23: If you were pitching SNL, SNL didn't exist and you
- 38:29Speaker 23: were pitching it, nobody would want to do that. 90
- 38:34Speaker 23: minutes of live comedy with a different star every week.
- 38:37Speaker 15: That's impossible. It's hard to do. It's crazy that we
- 38:41Speaker 15: even get it off.
- 38:43Speaker 11: But I think that's why SNL has always been regarded
- 38:47Speaker 11: as this institution. Once you go through there, it's like, boom,
- 38:49Speaker 11: the world opens up to you. I don't know if
- 38:51Speaker 11: people feel like that anymore. You are successful, but can SNL.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Damn! I need to just... I mean, do you think.
- 39:02Speaker 11: SNL, do you think SNL makes stars the way it
- 39:04Speaker 11: used to, or it's like a Drewski thing where people
- 39:06Speaker 11: are now stars outside of it. And it just kind
- 39:08Speaker 11: of like helps to elevate, like it will help him,
- 39:10Speaker 11: but Drewski.
- 39:11Speaker 23: I mean, there's no, there's no formula or no like
- 39:16Speaker 23: concrete answer to what makes stars and what doesn't make stars.
- 39:20Speaker 14: You know?
- 39:20Speaker 23: I mean, I think people, especially this generation, they pick
- 39:24Speaker 23: their own stars, you know? I mean, like, I mean
- 39:27Speaker 23: jazz like you're from you know people know you from
- 39:29Speaker 23: the internet they picked you you know nobody had to
- 39:33Speaker 23: say they didn't groom you for this it was just
- 39:36Speaker 23: like something that they picked naturally and i think that
- 39:39Speaker 23: that's that's true for everybody like drewski you know same
- 39:41Speaker 23: kind of thing so i think like for us we're
- 39:43Speaker 23: not we're just trying to do the show you know
- 39:45Speaker 23: we're just trying to make people laugh we got that
- 39:48Speaker 23: uh that old saying uh We don't do the show
- 39:50Speaker 23: because it's ready. We do the show because it's 1130
- 39:52Speaker 23: on Saturday night, you know, and it's just time to,
- 39:55Speaker 23: you know, so making stars, that's.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Up to the people who they want to be stars.
- 40:00Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Weekend Update is the best part of that.
- 40:03Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. I'm not even saying that
- 40:05Speaker 2: because you're here. I say it all the time when
- 40:07Speaker 2: you're not here. I could watch that as a standalone show. Yeah.
- 40:11Speaker 6: Easily.
- 40:12Speaker 2: With you and Colin. If it's you and Colin. That guy.
- 40:16Speaker 12: I'm just saying.
- 40:17Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
- 40:18Speaker 20: F * * * you.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Can I say that?
- 40:23Speaker 8: Yes, yes.
- 40:24Speaker 2: I got to ask. Yes, say it again. Has SNL
- 40:27Speaker 2: made you a better comedian? Like, you know, you got
- 40:28Speaker 2: your stand-up special shot in Minnesota. Has it made you
- 40:31Speaker 2: a better comedian or a more cautious comedian? Because you
- 40:34Speaker 2: know you got SNL. No, it doesn't.
- 40:37Speaker 23: Well, it's made me work less, which has probably made
- 40:41Speaker 23: me worse. But it's also made me more thoughtful. with
- 40:48Speaker 23: a broader audience you sort of have to be more
- 40:51Speaker 23: thoughtful you know so I think like yeah it's probably
- 40:54Speaker 23: rounded me in a lot of ways but everything is
- 40:58Speaker 23: you know it's a give and take for everything.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Even when you say more thoughtful you really don't know
- 41:02Speaker 2: what's going to piss people off now.
- 41:04Speaker 23: You never know you never know I mean I I
- 41:07Speaker 23: shouldn't say this but like even that monologue like that
- 41:11Speaker 23: wasn't the joke that I thought was going to be.
- 41:14Speaker 2: I'm not saying, I'm just, that wasn't.
- 41:16Speaker 3: The joke I thought. Which one did you think, the
- 41:18Speaker 3: hiking one?
- 41:19Speaker 2: No, I don't, I'm not going to say which one.
- 41:21Speaker 3: The hiking one, I was like, did y'all miss this one?
- 41:23Speaker 23: Yeah, well, that's not what I thought. But, you know.
- 41:27Speaker 2: I didn't think the backlash was warranted. I mean, I
- 41:30Speaker 2: didn't particularly laugh. I didn't think it was hilarious. But
- 41:33Speaker 2: they treating him like he said, free Palestine or something.
- 41:37Speaker 15: It sparked the conversation. I mean, I think, to me,
- 41:40Speaker 15: that's what makes comedy interesting is when, you know, people
- 41:42Speaker 15: get talking.
- 41:43Speaker 23: And I think the people that are, you know, saying
- 41:46Speaker 23: stuff about it, like, it's on time.
- 41:48Speaker 1: So, yeah.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Isn't that what this is about? Yeah.
- 41:53Speaker 1: But you know what, though?
- 41:54Speaker 2: We're probably not the people to ask. Because, I mean,
- 41:55Speaker 2: you know, I was born in 1978, but I grew
- 41:58Speaker 2: up on bitches ain't shit but holes and tricks.
- 42:00Speaker 23: I was going to say, I got to change my
- 42:01Speaker 23: whole playlist.
- 42:07Speaker 7: Well, congratulations, Netflix special.
- 42:09Speaker 23: Oh, man, thank you so much.
- 42:11Speaker 2: It's fun.
- 42:12Speaker 23: We opened at, like, number four.
- 42:15Speaker 2: That's good, right?
- 42:17Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 42:17Speaker 7: Why did you choose to shoot it in Minnesota? What
- 42:19Speaker 7: does that mean to you?
- 42:20Speaker 23: Ah, man, Minnesota's just one of those cities. It's like,
- 42:24Speaker 23: I call it the new Selma. There's always something going
- 42:26Speaker 23: on over there. It's definitely a double entendre.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot going on, man.
- 42:31Speaker 23: It's like, Minnesota also, too, Minneapolis in particular, is just
- 42:37Speaker 23: like sort of a great place for shows.
- 42:39Speaker 2: They just get it.
- 42:40Speaker 23: They hot there, you know. They receive comedy really well.
- 42:43Speaker 23: So I kind of just love playing there. I knew
- 42:46Speaker 23: they was going to get it.
- 42:47Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Why do you know? You want to do it in
- 42:49Speaker 2: New York?
- 42:50Speaker 1: Where you from?
- 42:51Speaker 23: I don't like doing shows in New York. I love
- 42:54Speaker 23: New York, but I don't like announcing shows in New
- 42:56Speaker 23: York because I'm from New York. So being from New York,
- 43:00Speaker 23: it becomes a different responsibility. When I'm doing a special,
- 43:04Speaker 23: you kind of want to be out of town. That's
- 43:05Speaker 23: all you're thinking about. In New York, I got the
- 43:07Speaker 23: who's coming, accommodations, all that. It just becomes sort of
- 43:11Speaker 23: a nightmare. It's a home game. So, you know, I
- 43:15Speaker 23: got to worry about Everybody wanting tickets. I got to
- 43:19Speaker 23: worry about who's heard this stuff, who doesn't know this stuff.
- 43:22Speaker 23: I'm in New York all the time. So doing it
- 43:23Speaker 23: on the road, you can kind of think clear. And
- 43:26Speaker 23: it feels a lot more comfortable for taping. What makes
- 43:28Speaker 23: it special or special nowadays? Well, for me or for
- 43:32Speaker 23: everybody else?
- 43:33Speaker 2: It's in general. That word special.
- 43:36Speaker 23: Sometimes I feel like a lot of this stuff ain't special.
- 43:40Speaker 23: I think a lot of people feel that way. I
- 43:43Speaker 23: think I feel that way too. I mean, for me, I...
- 43:46Speaker 23: What makes it special to me is, you know, it's
- 43:50Speaker 23: like a good meal. It's got to have balance. You
- 43:53Speaker 23: got to walk away from it being like, man, I
- 43:54Speaker 23: could do that again. We got to come back. We
- 43:56Speaker 23: got to tell people about this. I think now, once
- 44:00Speaker 23: people started finding out how much money people get for specials,
- 44:03Speaker 23: and it started to become sort of this big deal,
- 44:07Speaker 23: this big honor to be given a Netflix special or
- 44:10Speaker 23: HBO special, everybody just wants one.
- 44:14Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 44:15Speaker 2: And they don't really need one.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 44:17Speaker 23: And I'm, like you said, I'm 83, so I remember
- 44:21Speaker 23: when Chris Rock would drop or when Cat would drop
- 44:24Speaker 23: or when Dave would drop. It was a big deal
- 44:26Speaker 23: because he only got about four or five of them.
- 44:29Speaker 23: So that's kind of just how I think. I do
- 44:32Speaker 23: them about every five years anyway.
- 44:35Speaker 11: This seemed like an extended conversation for you, though. I
- 44:37Speaker 11: know on Weekend Update you get into certain things on SNL,
- 44:40Speaker 11: but with your special, it seems like a lot of
- 44:42Speaker 11: the political stuff and things that you do, don't have
- 44:44Speaker 11: the time to do an SNL, you could really have
- 44:47Speaker 11: a conversation, a funny one, with the audience.
- 44:49Speaker 3: That's what this felt like.
- 44:50Speaker 23: Yeah, that's sort of the, that's the difference in just
- 44:53Speaker 23: the nature of it. Like, me and Colin are together.
- 44:58Speaker 23: So once I deliver the punchline, the camera's off me.
- 45:01Speaker 23: Or if I'm doing a feature, I'm just setting it up.
- 45:03Speaker 23: So I get maybe two to three minutes of actual
- 45:07Speaker 23: joke time in that segment. So you don't really get
- 45:11Speaker 23: time to dig deep. It might feel slighted You know,
- 45:15Speaker 23: I was having a conversation with Trevor Noah about that
- 45:17Speaker 23: when he was still hosting The Daily Show. And I
- 45:19Speaker 23: remember he was like, man, I love that you could
- 45:21Speaker 23: just kind of just do a joke and move on.
- 45:23Speaker 23: And I was like, I love that you have the
- 45:24Speaker 23: real estate to just sort of sit in and expound
- 45:28Speaker 23: on a subject the way Seth does, you know, the
- 45:30Speaker 23: way you guys do. So it's like, you know, I
- 45:32Speaker 23: guess the grass is greener where the dog shits.
- 45:36Speaker 20: I was reading your Ringer article. Do you really feel
- 45:38Speaker 20: like you're navigating two worlds? Like, what's the difference between
- 45:41Speaker 20: the Michael Che on SNL and the Michael Che we
- 45:43Speaker 20: see doing stand-up?
- 45:44Speaker 23: I get to be more personal. I get to be thoughtful.
- 45:48Speaker 23: I get to explore. I get to, like, not be sure.
- 45:51Speaker 23: I feel like set-up punch, the punch has to sort
- 45:55Speaker 23: of hold a lot of weight. And I feel like
- 45:59Speaker 23: in stand-up, it doesn't have to hold as much weight
- 46:02Speaker 23: because there's something coming up. You know what I mean?
- 46:04Speaker 23: Something else is coming. So it's, like, a little bit
- 46:06Speaker 23: more flowy. I don't know. It's just to be yourself.
- 46:12Speaker 7: And, yeah, you get to say your thoughts about it.
- 46:14Speaker 7: on stage in.
- 46:15Speaker 13: The special that was banned for years it's back.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Yo you said crack on snl cut it up i
- 46:22Speaker 2: did say crack a lot of stuff that i said
- 46:25Speaker 2: goes under the radar that's why i try not to
- 46:27Speaker 2: say too much about shane because we're.
- 46:31Speaker 23: Gonna start doing deep dives i'm like i don't know
- 46:34Speaker 23: what you're talking about i didn't even hear that.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Joke so who's closer to who you really are I
- 46:40Speaker 2: don't know.
- 46:40Speaker 23: I mean, I think I'm all of it. You know, like,
- 46:43Speaker 23: we all work. We all got a job where we,
- 46:46Speaker 23: you know, we got to sort of practice a different
- 46:49Speaker 23: type of decorum.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:51Speaker 23: You know, and then we got a place where we
- 46:52Speaker 23: could be a little bit more free. Like, you know,
- 46:55Speaker 23: even in stand-up, there's stuff that I really can't say
- 46:57Speaker 23: that I would say at a barbershop or that I
- 46:59Speaker 23: would say, you know, in the group chat or whatever. Like, it's,
- 47:03Speaker 23: There's levels to everything. I just think with more time,
- 47:06Speaker 23: you could offer more context and with more context, you
- 47:09Speaker 23: could be more of yourself. You know, there's a, there's
- 47:11Speaker 23: a shorthand. If I'm talking to my homies, I'm talking
- 47:13Speaker 23: to my friends. We know, we already know certain things. So,
- 47:16Speaker 23: you know, I can say stuff that they won't take personally.
- 47:20Speaker 23: And I feel like the same thing is in standup.
- 47:22Speaker 23: Same thing is in SNL.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Which is special.
- 47:24Speaker 5: Are you intentionally trying to make people feel a little uncomfortable?
- 47:27Speaker 23: No, I'm trying to make people realize that they don't
- 47:31Speaker 23: have a reason to be uncomfortable. talking being honest like
- 47:36Speaker 23: whatever you're thinking someone else's thought too you don't gotta
- 47:38Speaker 23: feel alone because we're not allowed to say certain things
- 47:43Speaker 23: so it's sort of just licensed to be free for
- 47:46Speaker 23: an hour in a basement and then you can go
- 47:49Speaker 23: out and be corporate after.
- 47:51Speaker 2: That I think attention gotta matter man like if you
- 47:54Speaker 2: know somebody's intention is to make you laugh even if
- 47:58Speaker 2: it's cringy even if it's but that's because.
- 48:01Speaker 23: You're you you have that you know what I mean
- 48:03Speaker 23: like you have that sort.
- 48:05Speaker 11: Of I think people look at you like that too
- 48:07Speaker 11: though I.
- 48:08Speaker 23: Think so I think so too I think there's times
- 48:11Speaker 23: but you know there's times where they don't like to
- 48:13Speaker 23: me it's like comedy's like it's like if you're somewhere
- 48:15Speaker 23: and you bring a cake somebody might be allergic to
- 48:18Speaker 23: dairy somebody might be allergic to eggs or flour whatever
- 48:21Speaker 23: but you brought a cake you didn't try to offend
- 48:24Speaker 23: them it could hurt them but you wasn't trying to
- 48:26Speaker 23: offend them so you kind of gotta you kind of
- 48:28Speaker 23: gotta think of it like well he was trying to
- 48:30Speaker 23: make you laugh it didn't work He was trying to
- 48:33Speaker 23: make you laugh.
- 48:34Speaker 18: Now, I'm going to use that next time I offend
- 48:37Speaker 18: a community.
- 48:39Speaker 3: I brought y'all a cake, man. I brought a cake.
- 48:41Speaker 2: I brought something I thought you liked.
- 48:43Speaker 3: I love that.
- 48:44Speaker 2: But comedians defend their right to offend people. They're comedians, right?
- 48:48Speaker 2: I feel like they have the license, at least. To
- 48:51Speaker 2: offend people? I mean, cause you're.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Not intentionally, but like, you know, you write.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Some stuff, you'd be like, yo, I know this gonna
- 48:57Speaker 2: piss some people off, but it's funny.
- 48:59Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 49:00Speaker 3: Or there's like teachable things behind it too.
- 49:03Speaker 11: Or like things that you want people to, if you
- 49:04Speaker 11: didn't know this was happening, my joke gonna make you
- 49:06Speaker 11: go look at why I said that.
- 49:07Speaker 3: And now you're aware of what's around you. Yeah.
- 49:09Speaker 2: But it's sort of the magic of the joke to me.
- 49:13Speaker 23: Like, it's like, uh, I mean, do you want to
- 49:16Speaker 23: just hear what you already know is funny for me? I,
- 49:20Speaker 23: I want somebody to make something funny that I didn't
- 49:22Speaker 23: think could be funny. I think comedy kind of comes
- 49:24Speaker 23: from one place. Either it's from, like, pain or something
- 49:28Speaker 23: that is too dark to laugh at or something that
- 49:32Speaker 23: you see every day that you never noticed was even funny.
- 49:34Speaker 23: Something just completely... you know, boring, but I made it funny. Like, that,
- 49:40Speaker 23: to me, is the trick. So, you know, when I'm
- 49:44Speaker 23: doing comedy, I want to kind of give you something
- 49:46Speaker 23: that you didn't think could be funny, make it funny,
- 49:49Speaker 23: so that you can look at it different the next
- 49:51Speaker 23: time you see it.
- 49:52Speaker 2: Do you think comedians have a hard time accepting that
- 49:54Speaker 2: freedom of speech works both ways? Like, you can say
- 49:56Speaker 2: what you want, but I'm an audience member, so I can.
- 50:00Speaker 23: I think a lot of comedians have a hard time.
- 50:03Speaker 23: Especially black comedians. I think we have a really tough
- 50:06Speaker 23: time with it. Specifically because we don't have a history
- 50:10Speaker 23: of freedom of speech. We're more right to remain silent.
- 50:21Speaker 2: Shut the f * * * up.
- 50:22Speaker 23: Freedom of speech is like having a sports car. It
- 50:25Speaker 23: can go 200 miles an hour, but.
- 50:28Speaker 15: This is a school zone. You know what I mean?
- 50:31Speaker 15: You kind of got to know the rules of the
- 50:32Speaker 15: road still, too.
- 50:33Speaker 23: Even though you have the ability to do it, you
- 50:37Speaker 23: kind of got to drive with caution.
- 50:39Speaker 2: Do you ever feel like your success on SNL overshadows
- 50:42Speaker 2: you as a stand-up comedian? Sure.
- 50:44Speaker 23: But I mean, I don't mind that. Because I think
- 50:47Speaker 23: it's sort of... It comes with it. I don't get
- 50:50Speaker 23: to pick what people like about me or what people
- 50:52Speaker 23: don't like about me. I can just do the work.
- 50:54Speaker 23: It frustrates me, but At times, but it is what
- 50:58Speaker 23: it is. I'm not embarrassed by the work on SNL.
- 51:02Speaker 23: SNL taught me how to be a professional. It taught
- 51:06Speaker 23: me a lot. I got to work with all my heroes.
- 51:10Speaker 23: I got to work with Eddie Murphy.
- 51:12Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 51:13Speaker 23: I got to work with Dave Chappelle. Everybody's come through
- 51:17Speaker 23: those walls. And it's kind of it's kind of cool.
- 51:20Speaker 23: I appreciate it.
- 51:21Speaker 5: Now, when you write jokes and you do these jokes
- 51:23Speaker 5: on SNL, how many times has an artist come up
- 51:25Speaker 5: to you and be like, yo, Mike, let.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Me talk to you for a second. I wasn't feeling that.
- 51:28Speaker 2: That wasn't fun. Oh, man. I can say this.
- 51:31Speaker 23: I think he said it in an interview before. But
- 51:32Speaker 23: I remember when Eddie Murphy hosted, I was I was
- 51:35Speaker 23: doing a monologue and he did not at table read.
- 51:40Speaker 23: he did not like it he he really didn't like it.
- 51:43Speaker 15: But before we read joking on him or just well
- 51:46Speaker 15: he just did i don't know for whatever reason he
- 51:47Speaker 15: just didn't like the monologue and then but we was
- 51:51Speaker 15: about to do the you know we was about to
- 51:52Speaker 15: read it a table read and i was like well
- 51:54Speaker 15: i mean we're about to read it so let's just
- 51:57Speaker 15: read it and then we could make all the changes
- 51:58Speaker 15: that you want i didn't want to write it and
- 52:00Speaker 15: we read it and it got a big laugh and
- 52:03Speaker 15: it settled them in and afterwards you after the table,
- 52:07Speaker 15: he came up to me.
- 52:07Speaker 2: It's like, I'm sorry. He was right. But it's the thing. Like,
- 52:10Speaker 2: you don't know. You don't know what I mean?
- 52:12Speaker 23: Like you really, he doesn't know he's Eddie Murphy. He
- 52:14Speaker 23: didn't know that he would like it or it would work. So,
- 52:18Speaker 23: you know, um, did.
- 52:19Speaker 2: That hurt you being that it was Eddie Murphy? Of
- 52:21Speaker 2: course it hurts.
- 52:22Speaker 23: It's a huge shot, but I also understood cause I,
- 52:25Speaker 23: I worked there. I know that, Hey, there's some that
- 52:27Speaker 23: you're going to do. That's going to bomb. It's going
- 52:29Speaker 23: to hurt, but that don't mean nothing. It ain't personal.
- 52:32Speaker 23: He's Eddie Murphy. He knows what the fuck is funny. So,
- 52:35Speaker 23: you know, I understood it. It wasn't like it hurt
- 52:37Speaker 23: me like you a bad guy. It hurt me in
- 52:39Speaker 23: a way of, damn, I feel like I let my
- 52:41Speaker 23: hero down. But as he heard it, he believed in it.
- 52:46Speaker 2: And when he did it, it worked.
- 52:47Speaker 23: So it was like, you know, vindicating, but also lets
- 52:51Speaker 23: you know that nobody knows until we know. You don't
- 52:54Speaker 23: really know until you hear it. You got to hear it.
- 52:56Speaker 20: And I'm sure you reserved the right to pull people
- 52:59Speaker 20: to the side because we saw you do that with Kanye.
- 53:01Speaker 2: Pull them to the side and let them know you
- 53:02Speaker 2: wasn't feeling it.
- 53:03Speaker 23: Yeah, but I didn't know that. I feel bad about
- 53:05Speaker 23: it because I didn't know that that was on camera.
- 53:08Speaker 23: I try not to ever beat people up in the
- 53:14Speaker 23: media about being on the show because the show is
- 53:17Speaker 23: so stressful. It's so hard to do. We're there all
- 53:20Speaker 23: the time and it stresses us out.
- 53:22Speaker 2: It's scary. This is unnatural. This is intimidating.
- 53:25Speaker 23: It happens so fast. If you're having a bad week
- 53:29Speaker 23: at that show, I get it. And sometimes people behave
- 53:33Speaker 23: really poorly. And people are like, I know he was
- 53:35Speaker 23: a * * * *. You're like, maybe he was.
- 53:37Speaker 23: But also, that's a time to be a * * * *.
- 53:39Speaker 23: Because that's a hard thing to go through. You're watching
- 53:41Speaker 23: people that are really vulnerable, uncomfortable.
- 53:44Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 53:45Speaker 23: Like, they have full control of their careers, a lot
- 53:47Speaker 23: of these stars. And then they come here and people
- 53:49Speaker 23: just pulling them.
- 53:50Speaker 2: It's hard to do.
- 53:51Speaker 23: And I really hate... to be critical of somebody doing
- 53:55Speaker 23: a difficult thing, especially when I know.
- 53:57Speaker 2: How difficult it is to do.
- 53:58Speaker 7: Did you get to talk to him afterwards?
- 54:01Speaker 23: Eddie Murphy's show. He came up to me, everybody in
- 54:06Speaker 23: black Hollywood, was you there?
- 54:08Speaker 3: I remember being at a party with Eddie.
- 54:10Speaker 2: But I don't know if that was an SNL party.
- 54:12Speaker 3: Then that must have been it. Oh, the one that
- 54:14Speaker 3: he had.
- 54:14Speaker 4: Here in New York?
- 54:15Speaker 1: It must have been, yeah.
- 54:16Speaker 2: When he was hosting.
- 54:26Speaker 3: You got it. Did you get it? I know you
- 54:28Speaker 3: got an invite.
- 54:29Speaker 7: We talked about it.
- 54:29Speaker 2: I just remember Eddie being there the first time I
- 54:31Speaker 2: met him.
- 54:31Speaker 23: It was a huge... Eddie Murphy is a different type
- 54:34Speaker 23: of film and a different type of legend.
- 54:36Speaker 2: He's like the legend to the legend. Yeah.
- 54:39Speaker 23: I watched Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock go to my
- 54:42Speaker 23: dressing room because everything was booked. Every room was filled.
- 54:45Speaker 23: They was hiding in my dressing room. Dave was smoking.
- 54:47Speaker 23: They both called their moms to tell them they was
- 54:50Speaker 23: at the show and Eddie Murphy was there. I watched
- 54:53Speaker 23: my hero's geek out you know what i mean like
- 54:55Speaker 23: it was it was that kind of special but to
- 54:58Speaker 23: answer your question i remember i was uh i was
- 55:01Speaker 23: in the hallway like you know making changes or whatever
- 55:04Speaker 23: and out the elevator bay uh kanye comes out and
- 55:08Speaker 23: he was like hey man i owe you an apology
- 55:10Speaker 23: this is the first time i've seen him since that
- 55:12Speaker 23: happened and i didn't know anybody knew about it he
- 55:14Speaker 23: said i owe you an apology and he said he
- 55:16Speaker 23: was sorry it was huge to me that he even
- 55:20Speaker 23: first of all remembered And that he was man enough
- 55:24Speaker 23: to say that because he definitely didn't have to. He
- 55:28Speaker 23: could have just kept going about his life and been
- 55:30Speaker 23: the billionaire or whatever. But him doing that made me
- 55:34Speaker 23: look at him in a different light. Because not a
- 55:36Speaker 23: lot of people apologize in this business.
- 55:39Speaker 2: Well, make sure you check out Michael Che's special, man.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Shot in Minnesota. That's right.
- 55:44Speaker 23: It starts with me defending Shane and then ends with
- 55:46Speaker 23: me apologizing for Kanye.
- 55:48Speaker 2: That's what this interview did for my career.
- 55:51Speaker 3: All right.
- 55:55Speaker 15: Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
- 56:07Speaker 3: All righty, y'all.
- 56:10Speaker 2: We have a big announcement. Can we get a drum roll, please?
- 56:36Speaker 11: So the Breakfast Club, the world's most dangerous morning show,
- 56:39Speaker 11: will be heading to Philly. We're already in Philly, but

- 57:32Speaker 5: lot of these HBCUs, especially during homecoming where we could
- 57:35Speaker 5: actually talk to alumni and the students and broadcast from them, right?
- 57:39Speaker 5: Because I feel like... we should be doing that. Now,
- 57:42Speaker 5: I do it myself and sometimes Lauren comes with me
- 57:44Speaker 5: when I go to these markets.
- 57:45Speaker 2: Yeah, we be out.

- 58:41Speaker 11: I grew up listening to power 99. Every time I'm
- 58:43Speaker 11: home and I hear us on the radio, I'm like, oh,
- 58:45Speaker 11: my God.
- 58:46Speaker 7: I used to listen to this every day.
- 58:47Speaker 3: I used to listen to that guy.
- 58:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 58:49Speaker 5: Just on a side note, I went to Power 99
- 58:51Speaker 5: a long time ago, and they got a picture of
- 58:52Speaker 5: me wearing an Eagles jersey, and they've been holding it
- 58:54Speaker 5: over my head.
- 58:55Speaker 14: For 30 years.

- 1:00:03Speaker 11: tell that right now she's in such a spirit of gratitude.
- 1:00:05Speaker 11: She was very emotional about everything she's been through and
- 1:00:08Speaker 11: people finally understanding why she pushed through all of it
- 1:00:11Speaker 11: and who she is in the industry.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: She deserves it. I love the.
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: Fact that they're giving her her flowers. She never folded.
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: She always kept it, kept it to herself. Like she
- 1:00:20Speaker 5: did what she wanted to do. I love the fact
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: that she got her own street in Virginia. I love
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: the fact that she's being recognized by so many people
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: because she's dope. She's a dope person and a very
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: creative person. So salute to Missy.
- 1:00:30Speaker 10: Yes.
- 1:00:31Speaker 11: A hundred percent. Um, Um, yeah, now we got time
- 1:00:34Speaker 11: for one more.
- 1:00:35Speaker 8: Okay.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: So we're going to shift gears a bit. Speaking of
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: another icon, Ms.
- 1:00:38Speaker 11: Stephanie Mills, she sat down with Jason Lee on the
- 1:00:40Speaker 11: Jason Lee show and they had a very honest conversation
- 1:00:44Speaker 11: that I thought was interesting about how we, uh, have
- 1:00:47Speaker 11: conversations about some legendary and iconic people in our industry
- 1:00:51Speaker 11: that are ours, that are black people. Um, and she mentions,
- 1:00:54Speaker 11: you know, some of the gripes that she's had with
- 1:00:56Speaker 11: Oprah and Gayle King. Let's take a listen to Ms.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: Stephanie Mills.
- 1:00:59Speaker 10: I watched the interview with R.
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: Kelly.
- 1:01:02Speaker 10: And I don't think that Oprah should have given those
- 1:01:05Speaker 10: two men a platform.
- 1:01:06Speaker 7: I did not like.
- 1:01:07Speaker 10: The interview with Gayle. Because first of all, he gave
- 1:01:10Speaker 10: her that interview because she was black. And he felt safe.
- 1:01:13Speaker 10: You can't just do things to people. You know, that
- 1:01:16Speaker 10: was Michael Jackson.
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: That was R. Kelly.
- 1:01:19Speaker 10: They're going through a hard time. Don't eat on their weaknesses.
- 1:01:24Speaker 10: Why can't we lift each other up? Instead of wanting
- 1:01:28Speaker 10: to break it down or get likes or clicks. And
- 1:01:31Speaker 10: she talked about black men a lot. Even when Snoop Dogg,
- 1:01:35Speaker 10: when he was upset that she said that about Kobe.
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: That man had just lost his life.
- 1:01:40Speaker 10: Why are you interviewing that girl and asking her?
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: Lisa Leslie.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: Yes, about a rape charge. Where is the sensitivity? Where's
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: the compassion?
- 1:01:48Speaker 8: And I think most of the criticism I saw online
- 1:01:50Speaker 8: that's fair is where's the cover for our culture?
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: We know they're going to do it to us.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: Why are we going to do it?
- 1:01:55Speaker 10: Why are we doing it?
- 1:01:57Speaker 7: I know they're going to eat her up for, you know,
- 1:02:00Speaker 7: basically like the R. Kelly.
- 1:02:02Speaker 18: Because everybody looking at what he did and why he's
- 1:02:05Speaker 18: in prison. But I totally understand what she's saying. You know,
- 1:02:08Speaker 18: I mean, I get it. I see both sides.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: I agree to a certain point that you said.
- 1:02:12Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: You know, Kobe just passed. There was no reason to
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: ask that question, in my opinion. Now, as far as
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: the R. Kelly thing, R. Kelly was found convicted of what?
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: touching sexual assault to younger young yeah young multiple young
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: women yeah he gets what he gets young girls yeah
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: he gets what he gets I got four girls so
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: I got you and he could have targeted uh any
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: girl out there and my if I was in Chicago
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: he could have targeted my daughter so I can't feel
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: bad for him if he did it if he didn't
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: do it Michael Jackson wasn't found guilty, so I agree.
- 1:02:43Speaker 7: Absolutely.
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: What R.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Kelly was. R. Kelly had videotapes. There were so many
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: cases against him. It is what it is. You get
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: what you get.
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: I still like his music, though, but him as a person.
- 1:02:52Speaker 7: It's just.
- 1:02:53Speaker 11: When it comes to Oprah, she was talking about when
- 1:02:55Speaker 11: Oprah did the Oprah Winfrey Presents after Neverland, and that
- 1:02:59Speaker 11: was back in 2019, where she sat down with Wade
- 1:03:02Speaker 11: Robeson and James Safechuck, who were two people that accused
- 1:03:06Speaker 11: Michael Jackson of childhood sexual abuse. And then there was
- 1:03:10Speaker 11: a lot of backlash that Oprah received from that.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: So, yeah.
- 1:03:15Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't like that either. Like I said, Michael
- 1:03:17Speaker 5: Jackson was found and he wasn't found guilty. He was
- 1:03:19Speaker 5: found innocent. And to give somebody a platform to say
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: that they did something to bring down another brother when
- 1:03:24Speaker 5: he was already found innocent. innocent I didn't like.
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: That but like I said R.
- 1:03:28Speaker 11: Kelly it is what it is yeah well I know
- 1:03:30Speaker 11: as we wrap question hold tight shut up I don't.
- 1:03:37Speaker 18: Even know how to rap remember when he got so
- 1:03:38Speaker 18: mad he stood up and he said something something something
- 1:03:40Speaker 18: they said he spit on Gayle's lip by mistake I
- 1:03:43Speaker 18: said uh uh.
- 1:03:44Speaker 11: That's what Miss Stephanie Mills said they should have ended
- 1:03:47Speaker 11: it right.
- 1:03:47Speaker 18: There they should have ended it right there imagine having
- 1:03:51Speaker 18: to wipe your lip ew like alright sit down and
- 1:03:55Speaker 18: smile Yeah.

- 1:05:30Speaker 2: No, I said I'm gonna rub my nipples. There's a difference.
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: This is grab.
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: This is.

- 1:06:27Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have been.
- 1:06:28Speaker 14: It's something to start hating on y'all.
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: Nah, he would have sang.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: He a 90s kid. He was born in 1978. He
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: would have been singing, too.
- 1:06:35Speaker 14: He would have been singing, but he would have said
- 1:06:37Speaker 14: something to throw.
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: The vibe off.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Definitely, just to throw it off, just because I was
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: in my bag. You wouldn't have let me rub my nipples, though, buddy.

- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up?
- 1:08:25Speaker 14: I'm DJ Envy, this vibe was fresh, a.k.a.
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: Abdul.
- 1:08:28Speaker 4: I'm from Minnesota.
- 1:08:29Speaker 24: I want to say I listen to you guys every
- 1:08:30Speaker 24: day on my way to work early in the morning.
- 1:08:32Speaker 24: I want to give a donkey to Mr.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Trump, the one and only, you know.
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: Uh seems like he can't say.
- 1:08:38Speaker 24: Whatever he want whenever he wants it uh and somehow
- 1:08:41Speaker 24: something never be done and different rules for different people
- 1:08:44Speaker 24: i guess you know make it make sense i don't
- 1:08:46Speaker 24: know why he could say certain things and nothing is.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Being done this is wild man yeah if it was.
- 1:08:51Speaker 24: A different president in in the office it would have been.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: A whole different story damn right You're right.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: I mean, from the first day that he came into office,
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: I mean, that man put a desk on the stage
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: and just started signing away everything that he wanted from
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: the door.
- 1:09:02Speaker 5: So, yeah, like you said, he's been saying what he's
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: been wanting to say. He's been doing what he wants
- 1:09:06Speaker 5: to do. And there has really been no checks and balances,
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: which has been sad.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. Can I give up?
- 1:09:13Speaker 24: DJ Envy, before you let me go, can I say
- 1:09:15Speaker 24: a shout out to my wife, please?
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: Go ahead.

- 1:09:43Speaker 5: Now, when we come back, we have Democratic nominee for
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: the U.S. Senate to replace Mitch McConnell from Kentucky. His
- 1:09:52Speaker 5: name is Charles Booker, and we're going to talk to
- 1:09:54Speaker 5: Charles next.
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 1:09:55Speaker 17: Good morning.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: are The Breakfast Club. Lawler Rose is here as well.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: He's now running for the open seat that has been
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: vacated by Mitch McConnell. Ladies and gentlemen, Charles Booker from Kentucky.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Welcome, brother.
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: Thank you, my brother. How you feeling, man? Good morning.
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: Fired up. Everything good?
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: Ready to make some history? Do you think you really
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: have a chance in Kentucky, man? Oh, absolutely. Okay, okay.
- 1:10:21Speaker 13: Yeah, we gonna win this race because of the years
- 1:10:23Speaker 13: of organizing we've done.
- 1:10:24Speaker 14: Mm-hmm.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: This is my third run for U.S. Senate.
- 1:10:26Speaker 13: This is like Rocky three for me. And, you know,
- 1:10:29Speaker 13: we've been telling the story about what it looks like
- 1:10:31Speaker 13: for regular people to come together. Not about Democrats, Republicans, independents,
- 1:10:36Speaker 13: but all of us as family and working across Kentucky,
- 1:10:40Speaker 13: speaking to the issues. I come from the struggle. So
- 1:10:42Speaker 13: I'm telling a story that a lot of Kentuckians know well.
- 1:10:46Speaker 13: And at a time when the bottom is falling out
- 1:10:47Speaker 13: for so many people that are looking for real leadership,
- 1:10:49Speaker 13: they see it in me. And people who vote for
- 1:10:51Speaker 13: Trump are organizing with me. People who never voted before
- 1:10:54Speaker 13: organize it with me. And, yeah, we're going to win
- 1:10:55Speaker 13: this race. Now, you just brought it up.
- 1:10:57Speaker 20: You ran for Senate before, and you lost to Rand
- 1:10:59Speaker 20: Paul by more than 20 points, right?
- 1:11:01Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 1:11:01Speaker 20: What did Kentucky voters tell you in that election that
- 1:11:05Speaker 20: you didn't understand at the time?
- 1:11:07Speaker 13: You know, one of the things that was really important
- 1:11:08Speaker 13: for me, because, again, I don't come from money. I
- 1:11:11Speaker 13: come from the hood, one of the poor zip codes
- 1:11:13Speaker 13: in Kentucky.
- 1:11:13Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:11:14Speaker 13: Both my parents dropped out of high school. So, you know,
- 1:11:17Speaker 13: stepping into this arena, which I don't trust politicians. I
- 1:11:20Speaker 13: don't come from this. This is about survival for me.
- 1:11:23Speaker 13: So I had to learn how to put a campaign together,
- 1:11:26Speaker 13: how to build a team. I had the vision. We
- 1:11:28Speaker 13: had the message. We saw folks fired up. And a
- 1:11:31Speaker 13: lot of this was born in the wake of Breonna
- 1:11:33Speaker 13: Taylor's murder, where a lot of people had a wake-up
- 1:11:36Speaker 13: call across Kentucky. Like, wait a minute, that was my
- 1:11:38Speaker 13: door that was knocked down.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: Even white people? Yeah, man. In the hollers.
- 1:11:41Speaker 13: I was marching in the streets. With folks in Appalachia,
- 1:11:45Speaker 13: areas that Trump won by 30 points. And so we
- 1:11:48Speaker 13: told that story. But then we had to learn what
- 1:11:51Speaker 13: it means to build at this level. And now we
- 1:11:53Speaker 13: battle tested, got an all star team and a message
- 1:11:57Speaker 13: that has met the moment. You know, I've been steadfast,
- 1:12:00Speaker 13: but now everything around us is so different. And so, yeah,
- 1:12:03Speaker 13: my pastor said this is a moment whose time has come.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: And I believe it is. What do you think Mitch
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: McConnell's biggest failure was to you?
- 1:12:09Speaker 13: Mitch McConnell has been screwing us my entire life. So
- 1:12:11Speaker 13: I got to start there. This man was elected when
- 1:12:13Speaker 13: I was two weeks old. So he's literally been screwing
- 1:12:16Speaker 13: us our entire life. But here's the problem. And to
- 1:12:19Speaker 13: be clear, Kentuckians do not like Mitch McConnell. So don't
- 1:12:22Speaker 13: get it confused.
- 1:12:23Speaker 12: Really?
- 1:12:23Speaker 14: Yes.
- 1:12:24Speaker 13: He's underwater like 80 percent. People can't stand him in Kentucky.
- 1:12:27Speaker 13: When Donald Trump said he was going to drain the swamp,
- 1:12:30Speaker 13: people thought of Mitch McConnell. So the biggest thing that
- 1:12:33Speaker 13: he has done to hurt us is that he used
- 1:12:36Speaker 13: his power because he started off. lifting up organized labor
- 1:12:40Speaker 13: lifting up women's rights civil rights if you go back
- 1:12:42Speaker 13: in his career he invested in Kentucky over the years
- 1:12:45Speaker 13: but then he saw he could get rich he saw
- 1:12:48Speaker 13: he could get power and he turned his back on
- 1:12:49Speaker 13: us there wouldn't be a Donald Trump if it weren't
- 1:12:52Speaker 13: for Mitch McConnell there wouldn't be a gutting of the
- 1:12:54Speaker 13: Voting Rights Act if it wasn't for Mitch McConnell and
- 1:12:57Speaker 13: people see it and so now because of everything that's
- 1:13:00Speaker 13: happening with rising gas prices this trade war with Canada
- 1:13:03Speaker 13: which is absolutely ridiculous and then Iran endless war after
- 1:13:07Speaker 13: endless war And then they see who's doing it and
- 1:13:10Speaker 13: they see why it's happening. It's like people are waking up.
- 1:13:13Speaker 13: Something different is happening in Kentucky. And that's why this
- 1:13:16Speaker 13: campaign is picking up momentum. And that's why we're tied
- 1:13:18Speaker 13: and in a position to win a Senate race that
- 1:13:21Speaker 13: a lot of folks may not have known about.
- 1:13:22Speaker 20: One reason I give you a chance is because of
- 1:13:24Speaker 20: what we saw happen with Andy Beshear.
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: Because, you know, Kentucky has supported Republicans in federal elections.
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: But then Andy Beshear wins governor. What do you think
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: he understands about Kentucky voters that I guess national Democrats
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: sometimes miss? Yeah, that's the key.
- 1:13:38Speaker 13: And I've worked with him the last three years in
- 1:13:40Speaker 13: his executive team. And we often talk about Team Kentucky.
- 1:13:45Speaker 13: And at the end of the day, and I'm a
- 1:13:46Speaker 13: type one diabetic, and I often say my insulin doesn't
- 1:13:49Speaker 13: care about my party registration.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: You know, our issues really aren't that partisan.
- 1:13:54Speaker 13: And by delivering and meeting the needs of people and
- 1:13:57Speaker 13: continuing to show up and treat people like they matter.
- 1:13:59Speaker 13: That's what we've seen in our governor. That's what I've
- 1:14:01Speaker 13: done throughout my career. And so that's why we're in
- 1:14:04Speaker 13: this position to win when you treat people like they matter.
- 1:14:06Speaker 13: Because folks who voted for Trump in Kentucky, it was
- 1:14:09Speaker 13: from a place of desperation. He said he was going
- 1:14:11Speaker 13: to bring jobs back. He was going to stop the
- 1:14:13Speaker 13: stupid wars. People really believed him. And now the scales
- 1:14:17Speaker 13: are falling off of folks' eyes and they're like, this
- 1:14:19Speaker 13: man was BS-ing the whole time. So this for us
- 1:14:23Speaker 13: is a rallying cry that we really do want to
- 1:14:25Speaker 13: drain the swamp. We really do want to end the
- 1:14:27Speaker 13: endless war. And we want a government that works for
- 1:14:30Speaker 13: us instead of people like Elon Musk. You sleep with
- 1:14:33Speaker 13: the do-rag on? Man, you know, I'm trying to keep
- 1:14:37Speaker 13: them together. I know going into the Senate, you tend
- 1:14:41Speaker 13: to thin out. So I'm trying to.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: Hold on to it.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: Sorry, you can go to Turkey.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: You can go to Turkey.
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: Now, Kentucky is a heavy Republican state, like we said before.
- 1:14:51Speaker 5: Do you really honestly feel that it will change and
- 1:14:56Speaker 5: that they will start voting for a Democratic person or
- 1:14:58Speaker 5: even a black person?
- 1:15:00Speaker 13: You know, it's not about voting for party. this for
- 1:15:04Speaker 13: me is definitely bigger than that. Because look where I'm
- 1:15:07Speaker 13: from in the hood, we vote Democrat like 80, 90%
- 1:15:09Speaker 13: of the time.
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: You follow your grandmother, your great grandmother. Yeah.
- 1:15:13Speaker 13: And we felt screwed too, you know? And so I
- 1:15:16Speaker 13: often say, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, independent, we all
- 1:15:18Speaker 13: being screwed. And so it isn't about party. It really
- 1:15:21Speaker 13: is about speaking to the people, showing up for them,
- 1:15:24Speaker 13: earning trust. Man, I've stood on the tracks with coal miners.
- 1:15:27Speaker 13: I've sat down in rooms with farmers and rooms of
- 1:15:30Speaker 13: veterans where they are lifelong Republicans, Confederate flags waving out
- 1:15:34Speaker 13: in the yard. I got pictures of this stuff. And
- 1:15:36Speaker 13: then seeing people put Booker signs by Trump signs. It
- 1:15:39Speaker 13: wasn't because a party is because they saw someone that
- 1:15:41Speaker 13: cares about them. That's not BS in them and that
- 1:15:44Speaker 13: is not for sale. This campaign is for them. And
- 1:15:47Speaker 13: that's why we're in this position.
- 1:15:48Speaker 5: How difficult was it to raise money to make sure
- 1:15:50Speaker 5: that you can keep up with what they're doing?
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: Because, you know, they're backed by multi million dollars and
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: billion dollar companies.
- 1:15:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:15:57Speaker 13: Oh, it's not easy, you know, because a lot of
- 1:15:59Speaker 13: people count Kentucky out. And then, you know, you might
- 1:16:02Speaker 13: see me as a candidate and like, well, Charles, you
- 1:16:04Speaker 13: know what you look like? I'm like, what you mean, handsome? Like, no,
- 1:16:07Speaker 13: you're a black man in Kentucky. You know, so it
- 1:16:10Speaker 13: has been a challenge, but that's where the power of
- 1:16:12Speaker 13: organizing comes in. You know, we lead with mutual aid.
- 1:16:16Speaker 13: We lead with a distributed model of organizing where we
- 1:16:19Speaker 13: lift up the voices of the people. So we got
- 1:16:21Speaker 13: folks fired up who have never voted before. So I
- 1:16:24Speaker 13: was outspent in my primary, four to one, and won
- 1:16:26Speaker 13: by double digits. The people are ready. Something different is
- 1:16:29Speaker 13: happening in Kentucky. But we need a little support. So
- 1:16:32Speaker 13: everybody listening, go to CharlesBookerKY.org to help us out.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: But this really is power by the people.
- 1:16:38Speaker 20: What's the criticism of Republicans make of Democrats that you
- 1:16:42Speaker 20: think is actually fair?
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: The corruption.
- 1:16:45Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, honestly, when you ask people across the
- 1:16:47Speaker 13: board in Kentucky, it's the corruption in our politics. And
- 1:16:50Speaker 13: that is not partisan. Republicans feel that way toward Democrats.
- 1:16:53Speaker 13: Democrats feel that way toward Republicans. Am I saying that's
- 1:16:55Speaker 13: pot and meat cattle?
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it really is.
- 1:16:57Speaker 13: And so I think being able to speak to it
- 1:17:00Speaker 13: And to say, look, I challenge Democrats and Republicans. This
- 1:17:03Speaker 13: really is about fighting for family. That's what I think
- 1:17:05Speaker 13: people are needing in politics, finding our way back to
- 1:17:09Speaker 13: each other. We've been in our corners where it's us
- 1:17:12Speaker 13: versus them, and we're all being screwed, as I said.
- 1:17:14Speaker 13: And so being able to call out the fact that
- 1:17:16Speaker 13: there's so much money in politics, regardless of party, that
- 1:17:20Speaker 13: drowns out the voices of regular people. Elon Musk put
- 1:17:23Speaker 13: over $ 10 million into the Kentucky Senate race. Donald Trump
- 1:17:27Speaker 13: is coming to Kentucky this weekend.
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: Yeah, Barr's speaking there, right?
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: That's right. They know Kentucky's in play.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:17:34Speaker 13: And they're trying to do everything they can. And so
- 1:17:37Speaker 13: saying that, look, we're not standing here to sell out
- 1:17:41Speaker 13: to the folks who want to put data centers in
- 1:17:42Speaker 13: everyone's backyards.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: That's what my opponent's doing.
- 1:17:44Speaker 13: He's getting the money from the telecom companies that are
- 1:17:47Speaker 13: putting data centers across Kentucky, ignoring the people. Everybody's tired
- 1:17:50Speaker 13: of that. So to me, this race is not only
- 1:17:53Speaker 13: for Kentucky. It's for the country. I think the world
- 1:17:56Speaker 13: needs to see us win a race like this. We're
- 1:17:58Speaker 13: showing what democracy really does look like.
- 1:18:00Speaker 5: What's one thing that you heard about yourself or a
- 1:18:02Speaker 5: policy that you're trying to push that you know absolutely
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: positively is not true?
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: Oh, man, they say a lot about me.
- 1:18:08Speaker 13: I get called a socialist at least three, four times
- 1:18:11Speaker 13: a day.
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: They've been calling me the Mom Donnie of Kentucky. Yeah.
- 1:18:15Speaker 13: You know, talking about that. I don't want communities to
- 1:18:18Speaker 13: be safe. It's like, man, I got three girls. You know,
- 1:18:21Speaker 13: my three bosses, I want every person in Kentucky to
- 1:18:24Speaker 13: be safe.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: And they believe that you said you want to defund
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: the police. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 1:18:27Speaker 13: And I've been on the record for years talking about
- 1:18:29Speaker 13: how we fully fund community safety.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: I've worked with law enforcement.
- 1:18:33Speaker 13: I've worked with community leaders because we need everybody at
- 1:18:35Speaker 13: the table to address violence, to address crimes in our communities.
- 1:18:39Speaker 13: And so the idea that I don't want our community
- 1:18:42Speaker 13: to be safe is ridiculous. And the good thing is
- 1:18:45Speaker 13: people are laughing it off because they know who I
- 1:18:47Speaker 13: really am. They're not buying the BS themselves. Andy Barr
- 1:18:50Speaker 13: is peddling.
- 1:18:51Speaker 18: Going back to Trump coming to Kentucky this weekend, obviously
- 1:18:56Speaker 18: there is a threat.
- 1:18:57Speaker 7: Like, you know what I mean?
- 1:18:57Speaker 18: Like, obviously he feels like, oh, no, I got to
- 1:18:59Speaker 18: I got to. you know, kiss babies and shake hands
- 1:19:02Speaker 18: to come down there, you know, because he sees that
- 1:19:04Speaker 18: the people of Kentucky, they want what they need, you know,
- 1:19:08Speaker 18: to take care of them and represent the people.
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: What does that look like this weekend, him coming?
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: You know, first of all, I'm like, come on.
- 1:19:15Speaker 13: You can have a front row seat to see this
- 1:19:17Speaker 13: movement that's about to drain the swamp, you know, because
- 1:19:19Speaker 13: we're going to replace Mitch McConnell, retire his spine in
- 1:19:23Speaker 13: Andy Barr, and he gets to see it up close. And,
- 1:19:25Speaker 13: you know, it is a testament to what we've been building.
- 1:19:28Speaker 13: They see the writing on the walls. And it's too
- 1:19:30Speaker 13: late because people are tired of seeing folks protect child
- 1:19:34Speaker 13: predators and then take food away from children. They're tired
- 1:19:37Speaker 13: of seeing blank checks for endless war, but then saying
- 1:19:40Speaker 13: we can't afford to take care of our veterans. Got
- 1:19:42Speaker 13: folks sleeping on the streets in the wealthiest country in
- 1:19:44Speaker 13: the world. They're not buying it no more. And that's
- 1:19:47Speaker 13: what I'm lifting up in this race. This is a
- 1:19:50Speaker 13: testament that people are ready for real change.
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: Why do you think Daniel Cameron lost?
- 1:19:53Speaker 13: Man, I got a lot of reasons why. But ultimately,
- 1:19:56Speaker 13: you know, I think he tried to play a game
- 1:19:57Speaker 13: that wasn't for him.
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: He tried to.
- 1:20:00Speaker 13: to move in and hold a position where he's cosplaying, uh,
- 1:20:05Speaker 13: as if he can be an arbiter of white supremacy.
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: I remember them photos were viral too. That didn't help much.
- 1:20:12Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 1:20:12Speaker 8: No.
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: And, and you know, the thing is I went to
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: undergrad law school with him.
- 1:20:16Speaker 13: He's a year behind me. And I've seen that progression.
- 1:20:20Speaker 13: And ultimately people don't like folks who sell out. And
- 1:20:24Speaker 13: then at the same time, cause I thought he was
- 1:20:26Speaker 13: going to win the primary, uh, The system does what
- 1:20:29Speaker 13: it does. Donald Trump endorsed in the ninth inning. They
- 1:20:33Speaker 13: sort of bossed him out. And he was in a
- 1:20:35Speaker 13: bit of a box because he's trying to lift up
- 1:20:39Speaker 13: policies as if he's helping working people. But then he's
- 1:20:42Speaker 13: supporting an administration that is ballooning our deficit, that is
- 1:20:47Speaker 13: sending us to war after war. And people are like,
- 1:20:50Speaker 13: you're not making sense, Daniel Cameron.
- 1:20:51Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 1:20:52Speaker 20: I feel like the issue should be class, right? If
- 1:20:55Speaker 20: you're a common sense, logical person in America... The issue
- 1:20:58Speaker 20: should be class. But I often feel like these working
- 1:21:01Speaker 20: class white people still look at race as the bigger
- 1:21:04Speaker 20: issue because they feel like their biggest threat is another
- 1:21:08Speaker 20: struggling American who's usually a person of color, right? Instead
- 1:21:12Speaker 20: of the wealthy people and institutions making decisions that are
- 1:21:16Speaker 20: screwing all of us.
- 1:21:17Speaker 13: Yeah, no, I think you're right. And that's real. It's
- 1:21:20Speaker 13: still there. You know, the racism is absolutely still real.
- 1:21:23Speaker 13: But I think the opportunity here is because the bottom
- 1:21:26Speaker 13: is falling out. in a way that people can't unsee. So,
- 1:21:30Speaker 13: for instance, in Kentucky, these cuts to Medicaid, my opponent
- 1:21:34Speaker 13: Andy Barr voted for nearly a trillion dollars in cuts
- 1:21:36Speaker 13: to Medicaid. This will potentially close over 30 rural hospitals
- 1:21:41Speaker 13: in Kentucky. These are in areas where they voted overwhelmingly
- 1:21:45Speaker 13: for Donald Trump. And so they see what's happening to them,
- 1:21:49Speaker 13: and they know it's not Barack Obama doing it.
- 1:21:51Speaker 20: Can we build a movement around economic equality without first
- 1:21:55Speaker 20: addressing racial inequalities?
- 1:21:58Speaker 13: So you got to do both. But for me, and
- 1:22:01Speaker 13: that's why I founded an organization called Hood to the Holler.
- 1:22:04Speaker 13: And that's the spirit of the Rainbow Coalition.
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: Hood to the Holler.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:22:07Speaker 13: So the hollers, if you've never been in them, they
- 1:22:09Speaker 13: in the mountains. You know, this is in Appalachian, these
- 1:22:11Speaker 13: rural communities. And I coined the phrase because I saw
- 1:22:16Speaker 13: this through line of people in the hood and people
- 1:22:19Speaker 13: in the holler who may seem disconnected but have so
- 1:22:21Speaker 13: much in common. And I think that's where we are
- 1:22:24Speaker 13: in our politics where we have to find our way
- 1:22:26Speaker 13: back to each other.
- 1:22:27Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 1:22:28Speaker 13: And we're speaking to that at a time when everybody
- 1:22:31Speaker 13: is calling for it. They call it affordability. You know,
- 1:22:34Speaker 13: we've been struggling for a long time. Call it whatever
- 1:22:36Speaker 13: you want. We just need things to change. And my
- 1:22:39Speaker 13: hope is with this campaign, we can see that democracy
- 1:22:42Speaker 13: is still worth fighting for, that we can't ignore places
- 1:22:45Speaker 13: like Kentucky. You ignore a place like Kentucky to our
- 1:22:48Speaker 13: own collective detriment. This is how you get a Donald Trump.
- 1:22:51Speaker 13: So I'm here today with y'all. Want to tell a
- 1:22:54Speaker 13: story that doesn't get told often. But to say that
- 1:22:57Speaker 13: we're still in this fight and we flipped Kentucky, we're
- 1:23:00Speaker 13: going to flip the U.S.
- 1:23:01Speaker 14: Senate.
- 1:23:01Speaker 20: Is it possible for a politician to take money from
- 1:23:05Speaker 20: wealthy donors, to take money from corporate PACs and not
- 1:23:08Speaker 20: be beholden to them?
- 1:23:09Speaker 13: You know, I think if you remember where you came
- 1:23:12Speaker 13: from and you remember your why, it's possible to build
- 1:23:16Speaker 13: a coalition that includes, you know, corporations at the table. Because,
- 1:23:20Speaker 13: you know, there are corporate partnerships that are invested in
- 1:23:23Speaker 13: building up the community.
- 1:23:24Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 1:23:25Speaker 13: Everyone is not out there to hurt us. And we've
- 1:23:27Speaker 13: so we have to find ways to bring a broad
- 1:23:29Speaker 13: coalition together. But you got to remember why you're doing it.
- 1:23:31Speaker 13: You know, so me building a kitchen cabinet advisory committees
- 1:23:36Speaker 13: of folks on the ground, grassroots organizers, faith leaders, student leaders, teachers, veterans.
- 1:23:43Speaker 13: I want to make sure that when we go to Washington,
- 1:23:45Speaker 13: we go together so that no matter what money is around,
- 1:23:49Speaker 13: We're not being swayed by it. And then ultimately, we've
- 1:23:51Speaker 13: got to end Citizens United. There shouldn't be all of
- 1:23:54Speaker 13: this dark money buying seats, buying the votes of people.
- 1:23:59Speaker 13: To me, that is counter to democracy.
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:24:02Speaker 20: I want to ask you a question, but I'm not
- 1:24:03Speaker 20: going to ask you.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you off air.
- 1:24:05Speaker 14: What's that?
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: I'm going to ask him off air.
- 1:24:06Speaker 7: You just said you're going to ask him off air.
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: No, I'm going to ask him off air. You're on
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: the fence right now. I am, but I'm going to
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: ask him off air. Because they got to do a
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: Kentucky Fried Chicken, but I'm going to ask them off there.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: I'm going to ask them off there. I'm going to
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: ask them off there. Tell them where to donate. CharlesBookerKY.org. CharlesBookerKY.org.
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: And we appreciate you for joining us. Again, he's running
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: for the open seat. That's been vacated by Mitch McConnell,
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: who we don't know where he's at, how he's doing, anything.
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: But you go out there and vote, and thank you

- 1:25:07Speaker 2: Hey, you're really the head of the honor roll, yo.
- 1:25:12Speaker 3: That's crazy. Why you be trying to do me like this?
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: That's crazy. Anyways.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: All right, guys.
- 1:25:18Speaker 21: So I got some new joints for you today. The
- 1:25:20Speaker 21: first one I want to start out with is from
- 1:25:21Speaker 21: an artist.
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: Named Fergie Baby.
- 1:25:23Speaker 21: Now, Fergie Baby has been going crazy in New York City.
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: Like, crazy.
- 1:25:29Speaker 21: And this song in particular has been longly awaited. He
- 1:25:32Speaker 21: finally released it. So this is Uptown Shooters and Bronx Bombers.
- 1:25:36Speaker 21: And it feels very Jewels, I should say.
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. I like that. I love when
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: rappers pay homage.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: He from Harlem. He slowed down with that dip set.
- 1:25:47Speaker 14: Mm-hmm.
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: Sold out dip set paying homage with Cam Flo and
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: Jewel that's.
- 1:25:56Speaker 18: More Jewel that's more Jewel way more Jewel that's hard
- 1:25:59Speaker 18: man that's hard I love it you can.
- 1:26:01Speaker 5: Tell you can feel the Harlem you can hear the
- 1:26:03Speaker 5: Harlem you can hear it and.
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: When you see them you.
- 1:26:05Speaker 21: Can see it like you know their fashion is very.
- 1:26:09Speaker 18: Particular it sounds like it's gonna be like a soundtrack
- 1:26:12Speaker 18: song for like power it does oh my god it
- 1:26:15Speaker 18: gives me that.
- 1:26:15Speaker 21: Definitely deserves some sinking and you know I saw Punch
- 1:26:19Speaker 21: and Self be doing like commentary and they were saying
- 1:26:21Speaker 21: like They're talking about the new New York sound and
- 1:26:24Speaker 21: does New York have a sound and talking about how
- 1:26:27Speaker 21: they ran off to other cities.
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: And stuff like that.
- 1:26:29Speaker 21: But there are artists who do have a sound from
- 1:26:31Speaker 21: the city.
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a Harlem sound.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: Queens don't sound like that. Brooklyn don't sound like that.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: That's a Harlem sound. But you know what's interesting?
- 1:26:40Speaker 20: When Dipset did that song back in the day, people
- 1:26:42Speaker 20: said that Dipset was trying to do bounce like the South.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: For now, but now... Yeah, Dipset, dip, dip, dip. I
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: don't remember that.
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: They did a couple of songs that had that South
- 1:26:52Speaker 5: bounce that people talked about, but that's always been Dipset's.
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: That's great. Because Dipset is so New York.
- 1:26:58Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 1:26:58Speaker 20: They're so New York that even if they were doing
- 1:27:00Speaker 20: a little bounce, you still think that.
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: They were bounce songs that they did, but that.
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: That's... That's them. I agree.
- 1:27:08Speaker 21: All right, so next I got this R & B
- 1:27:10Speaker 21: artist named Joyce Rice. Now, she's really, really dope. I
- 1:27:13Speaker 21: feel like she's kind of under the radar, but on
- 1:27:16Speaker 21: the radar right now. But she just dropped a new project,
- 1:27:18Speaker 21: and this record is called Wish I Knew featuring Odell.
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: I like that.
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: I like it.
- 1:27:37Speaker 7: And I know anything Odell is on, I love. I
- 1:27:40Speaker 7: listen to.
- 1:27:40Speaker 14: I know.
- 1:27:41Speaker 7: She's nice.
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: She's fire.
- 1:27:43Speaker 8: She has a really nice voice.
- 1:27:44Speaker 19: Cool.
- 1:27:44Speaker 21: The sound is, this one's like a little more on
- 1:27:48Speaker 21: the jazzy tip, but she has a lot of like
- 1:27:51Speaker 21: 90s R & B feeling records.
- 1:27:52Speaker 7: Too, so.
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like right when you first gargle and
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: that peppermint window fresh feeling and you.
- 1:27:59Speaker 3: Fresh. Fresh.
- 1:28:04Speaker 8: How you think he got here?
- 1:28:05Speaker 7: I guess.
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: Wow. Wow.
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: It's a joke, yes.
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:28:10Speaker 21: Last one is from Johnny Venus, who you know is
- 1:28:13Speaker 21: one half of Earth Gang. He just dropped his self-debut project.
- 1:28:18Speaker 7: He did?
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: Oh, shoot.
- 1:28:20Speaker 21: Last Friday. Make sure you guys check it out. But
- 1:28:22Speaker 21: the song I want to highlight is called On and
- 1:28:25Speaker 21: On and On.
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: That's dope.
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: It sounded like he wanted to make a guy.
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: Record, but he got scared.
- 1:28:41Speaker 3: Yeah, just, yeah.
- 1:28:42Speaker 17: Not got scared, but yeah.
- 1:28:43Speaker 7: It did get us on the verge of that gospel.
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: He was right there, like God was pushing him in
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: that direction. At the last minute, he was.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: Like, nah, man.
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: The choir going, and yeah.
- 1:28:53Speaker 21: The concept of the song is really cool, though, because
- 1:28:55Speaker 21: he's just saying, like, the world is jacked up, but
- 1:28:58Speaker 21: the world just continues to go on.
- 1:28:59Speaker 8: So he highlights, like, different things.
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: That's a fact.
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: I like it.
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: I don't know why, he's right. Like, none of this
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: is new. Like, there's nothing we're experiencing right now That
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: is new. Technology may change, but the laws of human
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: nature remain the same. So once you figure out the
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: laws of human nature and you see the patterns in humans,
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: you always know where.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: The world is going.
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: Where are we going?
- 1:29:19Speaker 8: Especially under this.
- 1:29:21Speaker 18: You'll see some dark times, but it won't be the
- 1:29:25Speaker 18: first time we've seen dark times.
- 1:29:26Speaker 7: Going down.
- 1:29:28Speaker 21: I'm tired of dark times from pandemic to this to that.
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: I'm tired.
- 1:29:34Speaker 21: But if you guys like those songs and you want
- 1:29:36Speaker 21: to feel a little bit better about the dark times,
- 1:29:39Speaker 21: tap into my playlist. You can follow me at Nyla Simone,
