- 4:14Speaker 12: with some situations you go through in life, and some
- 4:17Speaker 12: people's opinions on it, it.
- 4:19Speaker 6: Really blows my mind. It really does.

- 4:23Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, I don't mean to get into
- 4:25Speaker 12: detail now, but like I said, I'm twenty three years
- 4:28Speaker 12: old and then I went through cancer and chemo last
- 4:30Speaker 12: year and thank god, I'm in remission and thank you.
- 4:35Speaker 12: And people just think it's a joke, you know what
- 4:38Speaker 12: I mean, And it's really it's really sad. What the
- 4:40Speaker 12: world's come to.
- 4:44Speaker 10: Yeah, what kind of friends?
- 4:45Speaker 7: You got to think that's the day.
- 4:48Speaker 8: Are they trying to make jokes the light in the
- 4:49Speaker 8: mood or they just like I don't know.
- 4:52Speaker 16: Like no, no, no, no, no, no, not even that
- 4:54Speaker 16: it's more like it's more family than anything, like family
- 4:57Speaker 16: friends like older people like my friend, I put my
- 5:01Speaker 16: click down to two people.
- 5:02Speaker 4: Man, and I'm cool with it same.
- 5:05Speaker 12: But it's just it's just crazy, like how some people
- 5:10Speaker 12: take some as a joke and they've never been through
- 5:12Speaker 12: something like that, you know what I mean?
- 5:13Speaker 2: Now, you're right.
- 5:14Speaker 8: I still need to hear more contact though, because I
- 5:16Speaker 8: had a friend yesterday who for the last two days
- 5:19Speaker 8: has just been finding it very funny that I got
- 5:21Speaker 8: a ball head and all of this cold. And I
- 5:23Speaker 8: had to remind her that you was ball headed a
- 5:25Speaker 8: couple of years ago because you had cancers. So let's
- 5:27Speaker 8: so I had to I had to remind her, No,
- 5:29Speaker 8: I'm not. I had to reminder when she was clying
- 5:32Speaker 8: to me about being a ball head, and I was like,
- 5:34Speaker 8: do you remember when you were ball headed? But that's
- 5:36Speaker 8: what the mind than you. No, she shouldn't be clying
- 5:40Speaker 8: to me about mind, so that's different. So I'm just
- 5:42Speaker 8: trying to figure out how context I.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Was ball.
- 5:47Speaker 12: I trust me.
- 5:48Speaker 6: I got the joke to that too. But like like
- 5:50Speaker 6: some things is.
- 5:51Speaker 12: Cool, you know what I mean, Like the joke about yeah,
- 5:53Speaker 12: it keeps you positive.
- 5:54Speaker 6: You know what I mean, because being negative ain't cool.
- 5:56Speaker 12: But like when you start being negative or like throughout.
- 5:59Speaker 6: My whole process, you weren't there.
- 6:01Speaker 12: You want to make jokes like.
- 6:02Speaker 6: That's not that's not.
- 6:05Speaker 7: I get what he's saying. Can you give us an
- 6:06Speaker 7: example of this one? Oh, come on, man, you hung
- 6:10Speaker 7: up on damn.
- 6:11Speaker 8: Man and Red that's what he's talking about.
- 6:14Speaker 7: You'd just hung up on the man for no reason.
- 6:18Speaker 14: Man, you go off your chest eight hundred five eighty five,
- 6:21Speaker 14: one oh five one.
- 6:21Speaker 4: But Charlamagne's that friend. You could be crazy is the
- 6:24Speaker 4: one that's gonna crack a joke. Charlamage is that guy.
- 6:26Speaker 8: That's what I was minding my business yesterday and she
- 6:28Speaker 8: started texting me cloud to me about my ball head,
- 6:31Speaker 8: sending me videos of like growth serum and some growth
- 6:34Speaker 8: serum that grows your head. So I'm like, oh, okay,
- 6:37Speaker 8: do you not remember I literally said that, don't you
- 6:40Speaker 8: remember being ballheaded just two years ago?
- 6:42Speaker 4: That is so.
- 6:44Speaker 7: Answer, I don't, damn O.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Yours is genetics. I get it off your chest. Eight
- 6:49Speaker 4: hundred five eighty five one oh five. One is the
- 6:51Speaker 4: breakfast Club, Good Morning wanting Everybody's dj n V just hilarious.
- 6:55Speaker 14: Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Laura la
- 6:58Speaker 14: Rose is here with us as well. We got a
- 7:00Speaker 14: best guests in the building. Indeed, Lego, how are you
- 7:03Speaker 14: doing great?
- 7:05Speaker 15: That's not how you're supposed to say it, Okay, But
- 7:10Speaker 15: you know, when teachers would get to that my name
- 7:12Speaker 15: and they go like like Kubano leismo, I was like,
- 7:17Speaker 15: you know, I'm gonna just do it phonetically and shut
- 7:19Speaker 15: them up laughing at me.
- 7:21Speaker 7: I was like, that was my first name.
- 7:22Speaker 8: My first name was Leonard, but the teachers would always
- 7:24Speaker 8: say Leonard, right, and so I would get tired of
- 7:26Speaker 8: correcting him.
- 7:27Speaker 7: So I was just like, man, just call me. My
- 7:28Speaker 7: middle name was Larry.
- 7:30Speaker 17: Like that would just stop the nonsense. Because your first
- 7:34Speaker 17: day of school everybody starts laughing at you is not
- 7:36Speaker 17: the way you want to start this year.
- 7:37Speaker 7: You know exactly are you?
- 7:39Speaker 17: I'm great? I'm great, great to be it's excited to
- 7:41Speaker 17: be here man, right? And on Netflix?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Now got it's a big deal.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Tell us how much you made?
- 8:00Speaker 7: Man.
- 8:00Speaker 17: I don't like to brag. It's you know now they
- 8:05Speaker 17: I mean Disney pays well, it pays well.
- 8:07Speaker 13: I'm not gonna lie.
- 8:07Speaker 17: Yeah, Apple, Disney, Netflix doesn't pay well for actors anymore.
- 8:11Speaker 17: I don't know about your show is a totally different thing.
- 8:15Speaker 17: Licenses is different, right, I like is a little different.
- 8:21Speaker 4: Let's talk about their kill it.
- 8:23Speaker 14: Nanny is on the first and it's about pabloball but
- 8:28Speaker 14: in a different light.
- 8:29Speaker 17: About because everybody's done correct, you know, and I guess
- 8:33Speaker 17: you know, like white actors have to do like Hamlet
- 8:35Speaker 17: and they all do it.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Latin actors all.
- 8:38Speaker 13: Have to do.
- 8:40Speaker 17: To show who's the best because you but them did it,
- 8:43Speaker 17: but he said, Toro did it, Wag no more, who
- 8:45Speaker 17: just got nominated for an Oscar did it. So now
- 8:48Speaker 17: it's my turn to do it. So everybody did good.
- 8:51Speaker 17: Some didn't get the action quite right, a couple I'm
- 8:54Speaker 17: not gonna name who, and some didn't get the gestures,
- 8:57Speaker 17: the behavior. So I tried to do it all.
- 8:58Speaker 6: Man.
- 8:59Speaker 17: I studied my ass off. I watched every tape, every
- 9:02Speaker 17: recording he ever had. I read everything about him. I
- 9:05Speaker 17: talked to his son, gave me a lot of tips
- 9:07Speaker 17: about how to play him and things that happened. Because
- 9:11Speaker 17: the Sun was a consultant on this one for the
- 9:13Speaker 17: first time ever, So we're seeing the inside of what
- 9:16Speaker 17: happened and what was said at home. And that's what's
- 9:19Speaker 17: exciting about this show because you didn't know what was
- 9:23Speaker 17: going on, like the kind of fear that they lived under.
- 9:27Speaker 17: Even though he was I guess the wealthiest gangster that
- 9:30Speaker 17: ever lived. He was worth thirty billion when he died.
- 9:32Speaker 17: I guess that's seventy billion in today's twenty twenty six money,
- 9:36Speaker 17: So he's the wealthiest. But he still had to move
- 9:40Speaker 17: homes sometimes stay away from the family. He would so
- 9:43Speaker 17: he could be like a decoyl away from them. The
- 9:46Speaker 17: son tried to go to school, but the DA was
- 9:49Speaker 17: after them assassination attempts. The kids were afraid of him,
- 9:52Speaker 17: so he had to be schooled at home by these
- 9:55Speaker 17: trained assassin nannies and they became his friends, his family,
- 9:58Speaker 17: and you know, you can't and totally trust them because
- 10:02Speaker 17: they're not really family, and they some of them became informants,
- 10:05Speaker 17: so Pablo had to off some of them, and then
- 10:08Speaker 17: that was confusing to the son that his dad was
- 10:11Speaker 17: taking out some of the nannies that he loved. And
- 10:14Speaker 17: so that's all in the series.
- 10:15Speaker 4: It's really wild. It's not about the drug part of it.
- 10:17Speaker 14: It's more about the son growing up and how his
- 10:20Speaker 14: father was father.
- 10:21Speaker 17: Exactly trying to be a father, you know, and you
- 10:23Speaker 17: know back then it was a tough love kind of love.
- 10:26Speaker 17: But Pablo was the first guy in columb and maybe
- 10:29Speaker 17: in all of Latin America in the agies because it
- 10:32Speaker 17: was a tough love kind of you raise your son
- 10:33Speaker 17: like being tough. You want to made him prepare for
- 10:35Speaker 17: the world. He would say I love you, kiss him,
- 10:38Speaker 17: hug him in public, at home, everywhere, and Colombian dads
- 10:41Speaker 17: weren't doing that. Obviously. Pablo knew that he might die,
- 10:44Speaker 17: so that's why he was more affectionate. But he but
- 10:47Speaker 17: you know, because I hug and kiss my son and
- 10:48Speaker 17: say I love you. But that's not how my dad
- 10:51Speaker 17: treated me. My dad was like every day I seed you,
- 10:53Speaker 17: you get more stupid.
- 10:55Speaker 11: Than the last day.
- 10:57Speaker 17: That's how my dad. You know, there is you back then.
- 10:59Speaker 7: They're playing him in this series humanizing for you.
- 11:02Speaker 17: I would we were trying not to humanize him and
- 11:05Speaker 17: normalize him.
- 11:06Speaker 13: You know.
- 11:07Speaker 17: We do show all the killings and the assassinations that
- 11:10Speaker 17: he did, ah, but but we do show, uh the
- 11:16Speaker 17: parents side that was complicated because the son did call
- 11:20Speaker 17: him out a lot of times. You know, he's you know,
- 11:23Speaker 17: what kind of life are we living? You're killing the nannies,
- 11:26Speaker 17: you're killing some of my friends. Are you gonna kill
- 11:28Speaker 17: my mom? And she says the wrong thing to you.
- 11:30Speaker 17: So he the son does call him out in the show,
- 11:33Speaker 17: which is that that's the only part that you might
- 11:35Speaker 17: feel kind of humanizing him a little bit.
- 11:38Speaker 8: Why did he Why was he so willing to just
- 11:41Speaker 8: kill people and let people know that he was killing
- 11:43Speaker 8: him You would think that that would be something he.
- 11:45Speaker 7: Would keep himself.
- 11:46Speaker 17: Well, I mean, because he was.
- 11:49Speaker 13: He was.
- 11:49Speaker 17: He owned Columbia, you know, he owned the whole country,
- 11:52Speaker 17: He owned the government. He was bribing everybody. His thing
- 11:55Speaker 17: was Lata or Blomo. So either you take the bribe
- 11:58Speaker 17: or you get a bullet. So that was your choice
- 12:00Speaker 17: that he put to everybody, and he took all. You know,
- 12:03Speaker 17: he bombed a lot of journalists, he bombed a lot
- 12:06Speaker 17: of politicians. He controlled the country. Basically, he told him
- 12:10Speaker 17: that he would pay their debt if they let him
- 12:13Speaker 17: take over completely.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Were you nervous a scared playing this part at all?
- 12:17Speaker 17: You know, it's been years now. No, No, I'm not,
- 12:19Speaker 17: I'm not scared.
- 12:20Speaker 13: Anymore.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I was just like anymore. He was get first.
- 12:24Speaker 13: You know.
- 12:24Speaker 17: Back in the day, you couldn't do that because you know,
- 12:27Speaker 17: who knows somebody might come after you. But now, I
- 12:29Speaker 17: mean it's years.
- 12:30Speaker 7: Later, you know, which to the role initially.
- 12:35Speaker 17: To show up everybody that I could do it better
- 12:37Speaker 17: than everybody, And I think I did a crazy good job.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Man.
- 12:41Speaker 17: Really, there's one actor that might have beat me, the
- 12:43Speaker 17: Colombian actor who did a TV series about Pablo. He
- 12:46Speaker 17: looked just exactly like him. His accent was perfection, the gestures.
- 12:50Speaker 17: I'm second, I think, but you you judge for yourself,
- 12:54Speaker 17: like this.
- 12:54Speaker 7: Demand from you emotionally that that other roles did uh well,
- 12:59Speaker 7: this one.
- 13:00Speaker 17: You know, it was a lot of research that more
- 13:03Speaker 17: than other roles where I could be myself or tap
- 13:05Speaker 17: different parts of myself. Here I had to like reach
- 13:09Speaker 17: to the level that you could play a power Escobar
- 13:12Speaker 17: tape next to me and me and see that there's
- 13:14Speaker 17: not that much difference. You know that That's what I
- 13:16Speaker 17: was after.
- 13:16Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw that.
- 13:18Speaker 18: His son told the La Times that doing a movie
- 13:20Speaker 18: like this is like his way to tell the truth
- 13:22Speaker 18: and to kind of push back against the way that
- 13:25Speaker 18: other movies has made the violence a spectacle. But how
- 13:28Speaker 18: do you not make it a spectacle because he's so
- 13:31Speaker 18: notorious and like, you got to include all of that stuff.
- 13:33Speaker 18: So like in the writing, how did they try and
- 13:35Speaker 18: figure out?
- 13:35Speaker 17: H Yeah, because we did. We did still show all
- 13:37Speaker 17: his violence, you know, all all the assassination attempts that
- 13:40Speaker 17: he put on people, and and and uh and the
- 13:43Speaker 17: and the and the kind of life of paranoid that
- 13:45Speaker 17: he lived.
- 13:45Speaker 4: We kept that.
- 13:47Speaker 17: But I think the difference in this is that you
- 13:50Speaker 17: see what the family life was like at home with
- 13:52Speaker 17: the wife and and uh and with the kids, and
- 13:56Speaker 17: how he was trying to be a loving dad, but
- 13:58Speaker 17: his morality said the opposite message. You know, he just
- 14:01Speaker 17: couldn't help it. I mean, I mean, we all mess
- 14:03Speaker 17: up as parents, but our kids are gonna hte us
- 14:06Speaker 17: for something. But I mean he had extra you know,
- 14:08Speaker 17: he had all that, having to move the kids from
- 14:11Speaker 17: place to place, having to stay away from them so
- 14:13Speaker 17: that he wouldn't bring violence to the house. And eventually,
- 14:16Speaker 17: you know, that kind of lifestyle always ends the way
- 14:18Speaker 17: it always ends. You know, he got shot up.
- 14:21Speaker 9: We're talking to the sun, right, and I imagine his
- 14:23Speaker 9: son had to relive all this and go down memory
- 14:25Speaker 9: later a lot.
- 14:26Speaker 10: Was it ever emotional for him?
- 14:29Speaker 17: Do you think, yeah, he got he got emotional, you know,
- 14:32Speaker 17: because he did love his dad. You know, I guess
- 14:34Speaker 17: he had a lot of words and some beef towards
- 14:37Speaker 17: the end. But I guess you have to make up
- 14:39Speaker 17: for that after your dad passes. You know, he changed
- 14:41Speaker 17: his whole life. He moved to Argentina, that changed his name,
- 14:44Speaker 17: became a psychologist. I guess you would have to become
- 14:46Speaker 17: a psychologist lifestyle, and he goes around the world doing
- 14:50Speaker 17: you know, speeches about you know, giving good, putting out good.
- 14:54Speaker 4: That's amazing.
- 14:55Speaker 17: So that's how he escaped the sins of the father.
- 14:58Speaker 18: But even though he's done all the does is there
- 15:00Speaker 18: like traumas that he still deals with daily even all
- 15:03Speaker 18: these years later.
- 15:05Speaker 17: You know, he definitely has to deal with I mean,
- 15:08Speaker 17: the way they grew up and and uh, all that
- 15:12Speaker 17: money that he didn't get because you know a lot
- 15:16Speaker 17: of it was disappeared. It never it was never really
- 15:20Speaker 17: discovered where a lot of that money went. But I
- 15:22Speaker 17: think a lot of people robbed it and took it.
- 15:25Speaker 7: And lament I'm sure they got.
- 15:28Speaker 17: A huge chunk of that and all his other comrades
- 15:31Speaker 17: must have taken a piece.
- 15:32Speaker 4: And he had a strong message for Ice and the
- 15:36Speaker 4: followers of Ice, and.
- 15:37Speaker 14: You didn't want to match a show. I don't want
- 15:38Speaker 14: to read it because it says, uh, if you follow Ice,
- 15:41Speaker 14: don't come to my should, don't watch my movies.
- 15:44Speaker 4: Yeah, why was that?
- 15:45Speaker 2: Follow me?
- 15:46Speaker 4: Why was that so important for you?
- 15:47Speaker 17: It was important to me because the way I see
- 15:50Speaker 17: Latin bodies being treated, you know, mom's, grandmothers, children, pregnant women.
- 15:56Speaker 17: I mean, why are you arresting children? I mean, how
- 15:58Speaker 17: do you do that?
- 15:58Speaker 4: How can you?
- 15:59Speaker 17: How can you wrap your mind around that? It's so
- 16:01Speaker 17: inhuman and cruel and and the way they're treating people.
- 16:04Speaker 17: You see that, and so yeah, I can't. I can't
- 16:07Speaker 17: be for these these uh kind of like domestic terrorists
- 16:12Speaker 17: going around covering their faces, not giving badges, not reading
- 16:16Speaker 17: you your rights, not treating people with respect. That that's
- 16:19Speaker 17: that's not what they set out to do with Then
- 16:21Speaker 17: they set out to grab criminals. These aren't criminals, obviously,
- 16:25Speaker 17: they're just innocent people.
- 16:26Speaker 13: I mean, then.
- 16:26Speaker 17: Reading them their rights and not treating them with due process,
- 16:29Speaker 17: that's not America, that's not the America. That I believe
- 16:32Speaker 17: in at the airport. Yea, at the airport, I.
- 16:35Speaker 8: Don't think that the one. I think the ones at
- 16:37Speaker 8: the airport are not the same ones. They're industry, right,
- 16:39Speaker 8: and I think it's I think it's a totally different
- 16:42Speaker 8: bunch of people because they're so nice and they're so helpful.
- 16:45Speaker 7: And Trump said that it was image rehab for them.
- 16:48Speaker 17: Oh, that's absolutely what it looks like.
- 16:51Speaker 8: What I think you wanted to do is you know,
- 16:53Speaker 8: you go to the airport and you realize, Oh, they're
- 16:55Speaker 8: so nice, and then what he says, and we're going
- 16:57Speaker 8: to have them at the voting boosts in the midterms.
- 17:00Speaker 7: You're not gonna think that and.
- 17:01Speaker 17: Of it, right, right, that's private military, send him wherever
- 17:06Speaker 17: he wants. Yeah, I mean that's what it looked like.
- 17:09Speaker 17: The optics to me was the other day I was
- 17:10Speaker 17: in the airport. It was like, Oh, you're trying to
- 17:12Speaker 17: normalize these guys and make them look like they okay
- 17:14Speaker 17: because they're not wearing the masks, they're not grabbing anybody,
- 17:17Speaker 17: they're just standing around.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Have you got back last at all for that for
- 17:21Speaker 4: that statement that pulled over?
- 17:24Speaker 17: Not yet, But I'm taking lots of precautions. Yeah, yeah,
- 17:26Speaker 17: and you know, my family's afraid. You know, when you
- 17:28Speaker 17: speak out there are consequences. So yeah, yeah, I take
- 17:32Speaker 17: much more precautions than I used to. You know, I
- 17:35Speaker 17: make sure my phone's on lockdown mode and whatnot.
- 17:38Speaker 7: Did they see how they treat your dead?
- 17:40Speaker 2: They looked at me.
- 17:41Speaker 17: I balled me, and I I balled them back.
- 17:42Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:44Speaker 17: I wasn't friendly and I'm not going to be friendly
- 17:46Speaker 17: the people who are treating my people the way they are.
- 17:48Speaker 17: And the problem is the majority of these ice guys
- 17:51Speaker 17: are Latino and black. That's the hell out of it.
- 17:57Speaker 17: I mean, how do you deal with that? I mean
- 18:00Speaker 17: the majority of the people. I know they're going for
- 18:02Speaker 17: a check, most of them, but still, how do you treat.
- 18:04Speaker 4: These your people?
- 18:06Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 18:06Speaker 17: How do you treat your own people?
- 18:07Speaker 13: Now?
- 18:07Speaker 8: People, I'm telling you, the ones in the airport are
- 18:10Speaker 8: not the same ones.
- 18:10Speaker 3: That are on the street.
- 18:11Speaker 7: I truly believe.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:12Speaker 8: But now now, but when the midterms come, the ones
- 18:14Speaker 8: that's gonna be at the voter moves are the ones
- 18:16Speaker 8: that were in the street.
- 18:17Speaker 17: Yeah, right, right right, all that thuggery.
- 18:19Speaker 14: I want to go back a little bit, if you
- 18:20Speaker 14: didn't mind, how did you get into acting, Like growing
- 18:23Speaker 14: up in New York City, you would see your name
- 18:25Speaker 14: all over the place, right, whether it's Carolines or you're
- 18:27Speaker 14: performing here. And I knew you at first as a comedian,
- 18:30Speaker 14: of course, and then you got into acting. What got
- 18:31Speaker 14: you into comedy and how did you transition in?
- 18:34Speaker 17: Well, I started, I was a class clown and a
- 18:36Speaker 17: troublemaker and a trouble team and all that stuff. And
- 18:39Speaker 17: the school made me go to therapy because they won't
- 18:42Speaker 17: let me back. And uh, but I was a class clown,
- 18:45Speaker 17: you know, at Bertram and uh, it was a competitive
- 18:48Speaker 17: school for class clowns.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Man.
- 18:49Speaker 17: You couldn't sit at the table. Yeah, you couldn't sit
- 18:51Speaker 17: at this one lunchroom table unless you crack the best
- 18:54Speaker 17: jokes the day before.
- 18:55Speaker 4: Damn.
- 18:56Speaker 17: So I used hat to write my jokes the day
- 18:57Speaker 17: before and all that stuff.

- 19:06Speaker 17: Jungle Brothers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I all knew each other.
- 19:10Speaker 17: I knew Damon, I didn't know Q Tip. Q Tip

- 19:13Speaker 7: Damon was always funny.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 19:16Speaker 17: About funny he was. He was an odd man. He
- 19:19Speaker 17: was a handsome dude, but he was just always to himself,
- 19:21Speaker 17: always kind of smiling, and had jokes in his head.
- 19:24Speaker 17: I just didn't hear them out loud.
- 19:27Speaker 7: Back to the story.
- 19:28Speaker 4: So he was writing ahead and at the lunch table.
- 19:30Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, so you know. And then my Matt teacher,
- 19:32Speaker 17: missus Zufa, was like, you know, mister squeeze of mo

- 19:37Speaker 17: and you go, if they can make Pendicillina the moldy bread,
- 19:40Speaker 17: there must be something we can do with you. And
- 19:43Speaker 17: he suggested I use my comedy for some good instead
- 19:45Speaker 17: of disrupting. And I started taking acting classes and boom
- 19:48Speaker 17: that started my career. Started taking these acting classes and
- 19:52Speaker 17: YU students came to see these shows and they offered
- 19:54Speaker 17: me student films, and boom boom. Agent that got Miami

- 20:29Speaker 9: talking about Vinnie.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:31Speaker 17: You know, because you got to test out your material,

- 20:41Speaker 17: new stuff that's not right, not right for the public eye.
- 20:43Speaker 17: So I go to Jersey. I go, you know, wherever
- 20:46Speaker 17: I can as far away and test my stuff out.
- 20:48Speaker 17: And you know, I love that.

- 20:51Speaker 18: testing out anything anywhere. I feel like your face is
- 20:54Speaker 18: so known, like everybody knows you.
- 20:55Speaker 17: Yes, I have to do different things obviously now. I
- 20:58Speaker 17: just I kind of do zoom testing of my material.
- 21:01Speaker 18: I can't even imagine, like what's the impact of the people.
- 21:03Speaker 17: No, no, no, not that audience. I just get like, uh,
- 21:06Speaker 17: my trusted friends and trusted Yeah, so I have to, like,
- 21:09Speaker 17: I have make it smaller and smaller and more protected obviously.
- 21:12Speaker 14: Yeah about worse though, You tell the joking from the
- 21:15Speaker 14: five Friends and they just look at you like, that's
- 21:16Speaker 14: not it.
- 21:19Speaker 17: Competent, competent yourself, And then when they do crack it,
- 21:23Speaker 17: you know.
- 21:23Speaker 7: Then they do laugh.
- 21:24Speaker 17: You're like, oh, I got it right. That one really kills.
- 21:27Speaker 17: I'll work on the other ones.
- 21:28Speaker 4: I've seen you you tearing at the super Bowl, tear's
- 21:30Speaker 4: of joy?
- 21:31Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man?
- 21:32Speaker 14: Why why did that performance mean so much? Because it's
- 21:34Speaker 14: been the other Latin people that performed at the Super Bowl.
- 21:36Speaker 14: Why was that one so emotional for you?
- 21:38Speaker 17: Oh, dude, because I think because of the situation that
- 21:40Speaker 17: we're living through. You know, to see bad Bunny there
- 21:44Speaker 17: in Spanish, because you know, there's sifically how I tried
- 21:47Speaker 17: to sing in Spanish back in the sixties and they
- 21:50Speaker 17: arrested them after in Yankee Stadium and then some some
- 21:54Speaker 17: Mexican kid and uh wore myriactual outfit and tried to
- 21:58Speaker 17: sing this American uh, this star spangled banner and they've
- 22:02Speaker 17: mistreated him and through things, so for him to speak
- 22:05Speaker 17: Spanish at Super Bowl was such a powerful statement and
- 22:09Speaker 17: and such a brave statement that it was moving man
- 22:12Speaker 17: to see all these Latin kids per forming on that stage,
- 22:15Speaker 17: being their authentic selves. And I knew, I knew all
- 22:18Speaker 17: the signals that he was sending, the old Puerto Rican
- 22:21Speaker 17: flag that was banned, uh, the electric plants that that
- 22:25Speaker 17: that you know, that female's money was robbed in Puerto
- 22:28Speaker 17: Rico so they didn't have like trick proper electricity. I
- 22:30Speaker 17: saw all the little easter eggs that he planted, the
- 22:34Speaker 17: little uh, the little boy, and the real marriage. It
- 22:36Speaker 17: was all just so touching, man, to see us celebrated
- 22:39Speaker 17: instead of demonized, instead of being attacked. It was just
- 22:42Speaker 17: overwhelming for me.
- 22:44Speaker 7: Now, I know you got to leave, man.
- 22:47Speaker 8: So my last question to you is, when it's all
- 22:48Speaker 8: said and done, what matters to you more being remembered
- 22:52Speaker 8: as a great entertainer or a cultural disrupt Oh?
- 22:54Speaker 3: Wow?
- 22:55Speaker 2: Wow?
- 22:55Speaker 17: Can I be both?
- 22:57Speaker 13: Yeah?
- 22:57Speaker 17: I be a great entertainer that's culturally disrupt because I
- 23:00Speaker 17: believe I believe artists are political. I believe art is political.
- 23:06Speaker 17: Entertaining is a different thing. But I'm an artist, man,
- 23:08Speaker 17: I can I like to create stuff that changes the world,
- 23:12Speaker 17: that makes the world a better place, and I think
- 23:14Speaker 17: that's the place for art.
- 23:15Speaker 14: There you have it, Ladies and gentlemen, definitely check out

- 24:01Speaker 7: Were you blood black? How's your energy?
- 24:03Speaker 10: It's good?
- 24:04Speaker 19: Can can I tell you guys something before we start?
- 24:06Speaker 19: Of course, it's very important that during this era of
- 24:08Speaker 19: my life, I let everyone know that my name is
- 24:11Speaker 19: pronounced Kalani.
- 24:13Speaker 9: Otherwise, you guys say, I always say good morning, good morning.
- 24:23Speaker 10: I'm really good.
- 24:24Speaker 18: This might be like a stupid question, but like, why
- 24:27Speaker 18: this right right now? Why have you been correcting people?
- 24:29Speaker 19: You know what I feel like I have here and there,
- 24:31Speaker 19: but then like it just blows under, like nobody cares.
- 24:34Speaker 19: Nobody just says how they want to say. It's not
- 24:35Speaker 19: that big of a deal. I have family members who
- 24:38Speaker 19: say Kilani got you. But do you know, I'm like,
- 24:40Speaker 19: I'm thirty. Now I'm feeling a little like, let's just.
- 24:43Speaker 10: Get you know, it's been ten years, say my name
- 24:45Speaker 10: wrong for ten years?
- 24:47Speaker 7: You know, we all like to create safe spaces for ourselves.
- 24:50Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think you can create a safe space
- 24:52Speaker 8: of people calling you out your wrown name, because I
- 24:53Speaker 8: think if I was doing an interview when somebody say
- 24:55Speaker 8: Kilani and the whole interview thinking I.
- 24:57Speaker 7: Should have corrected it. I should have corrected it.
- 24:58Speaker 4: I should have corrected.
- 24:59Speaker 19: But no one wants to be that person as like
- 25:01Speaker 19: sour as the moment. It's like by the way, scratch
- 25:04Speaker 19: that you.
- 25:06Speaker 10: Well, here we are now now.
- 25:07Speaker 14: You guys know, Kay, how does it feel fold the
- 25:10Speaker 14: number one? How is that feeling?
- 25:12Speaker 19: It feels really good. It's been a long time coming.
- 25:15Speaker 19: I've been getting told for the last eight years in
- 25:18Speaker 19: my life. You know, you're always one song away. You're
- 25:20Speaker 19: one song away or one song away. We see it
- 25:22Speaker 19: for you and so to have the song and everything
- 25:25Speaker 19: be changing in this way, it's really nice.
- 25:26Speaker 4: You know that was the record? When did it? Did
- 25:28Speaker 4: you know that was going to be it?
- 25:29Speaker 19: No, it was the most accidental thing in the world.
- 25:31Speaker 19: Even making it was accidental. Came about accidentally. I'm in
- 25:35Speaker 19: la I get a call to come finish this feature.
- 25:38Speaker 19: But the guys like, I'm out to go on this
- 25:39Speaker 19: massive tour, like, so you have to come finish it
- 25:42Speaker 19: with me in person. Bring the producers, Come to Miami,
- 25:46Speaker 19: bring the producers.
- 25:47Speaker 10: We go to Miami and.
- 25:48Speaker 19: For two days, we just can't figure out this song
- 25:50Speaker 19: that we're supposed to finish, and we didn't want we
- 25:52Speaker 19: didn't want to waste the time. So we went to
- 25:55Speaker 19: a studio house with Don Mills, who actually plays a
- 25:57Speaker 19: guitar on the song, and dre Hair came and the
- 26:01Speaker 19: first bet he played was the folded beat from his
- 26:03Speaker 19: boy DK the Punisher, and I bring it in the
- 26:05Speaker 19: other room and I just keep singing this hook and
- 26:07Speaker 19: everybody's like, that's really cool, Like let's build on it.
- 26:10Speaker 19: And we stayed there for a week. But every single
- 26:12Speaker 19: day after you know, we made that song, it'd be
- 26:15Speaker 19: the one song from the like the camp that we
- 26:17Speaker 19: just kept replaying and I hit my label and I
- 26:20Speaker 19: was like, I don't know, Like, I know, you guys
- 26:22Speaker 19: are looking for what is it?
- 26:23Speaker 10: It's like as a Juni or July at this time.
- 26:25Speaker 10: I'm not sure.
- 26:26Speaker 19: I know you guys are looking for, like the club
- 26:28Speaker 19: single the banger. This is not that, Like, this isn't
- 26:31Speaker 19: really song of the summer. I don't but this feels
- 26:34Speaker 19: like an introduction to like where my mentally musically, my
- 26:37Speaker 19: you know, maturation in my like my sonic journey. And
- 26:42Speaker 19: let me just tease it, like, let me put it out.
- 26:44Speaker 19: You guys don't have to, you know, don't freak out.
- 26:46Speaker 19: But it feels good and it just kind of like
- 26:48Speaker 19: took its own life, and there we are.
- 26:49Speaker 8: There's a lot of emotional intelligence to fold a man's
- 26:52Speaker 8: clothes and tell him come get him intead.
- 26:55Speaker 7: Of just throwing them all over the lung.
- 26:56Speaker 19: Well, I mean, I'm definitely not folding a man's clothes.
- 26:59Speaker 19: Oh well, anyone's close. Yeah, But I think it's a
- 27:03Speaker 19: very nuanced perspective. And I'm watching a lot of people
- 27:06Speaker 19: be on this, you know, really extreme side of it. Either,
- 27:09Speaker 19: Like Carolin is way better than me. You're clothes of
- 27:11Speaker 19: being a trash can, or.
- 27:14Speaker 4: I'm not taking time for that right.
- 27:16Speaker 19: Or they're like, yeah, I'm folding instantly, I'm folding clothes
- 27:18Speaker 19: and ASKID who cares if they did wrong? In the song,
- 27:21Speaker 19: I verbatim say like I probably should have asked for space,
- 27:25Speaker 19: but I kind of told you to walk away, which
- 27:26Speaker 19: means I probably jumped the gun and I overreacted, and
- 27:29Speaker 19: I need to express to you that you did hurt me,
- 27:31Speaker 19: but also maybe come over so.
- 27:32Speaker 10: We can talk about it.
- 27:33Speaker 19: So it's more of like a nuance mature conversation existing
- 27:37Speaker 19: that's kind of like, both, you did hurt me, but
- 27:39Speaker 19: we also need to speak and I also might have
- 27:41Speaker 19: not you know, handled this the right way, And let's
- 27:45Speaker 19: just get in the same place and get in each
- 27:46Speaker 19: other's face and come talk about it.
- 27:47Speaker 10: I'm gonna use your clothes as bait. I like that accountability.
- 27:51Speaker 8: Yeah, you're choosing vulnerability over wearing emotional armor.
- 27:56Speaker 10: Yeah exactly.
- 27:57Speaker 7: So what's shifted in your real life that allowed that change?
- 28:00Speaker 19: I think something happens when you you know you're turning thirty,
- 28:04Speaker 19: I mean astrologically, something major happens. You go through a
- 28:07Speaker 19: side and return and outside of that, I just I've
- 28:10Speaker 19: been through a lot in the last couple of years.
- 28:12Speaker 19: I've really spent you know, making the changes I needed
- 28:15Speaker 19: to make. I know, I saw you guys last time.
- 28:17Speaker 19: We talked about mental health and all those you know,
- 28:19Speaker 19: it's been a year since then. I think when I
- 28:21Speaker 19: came to you guys last time, I was a week
- 28:23Speaker 19: into being diagnosed. I just started medication. I'm not a
- 28:26Speaker 19: year into like that journey. Very settled in, very in
- 28:29Speaker 19: my routine, very very healthy, and being able to assess
- 28:33Speaker 19: myself and assess my situations and you know, just be
- 28:37Speaker 19: on top of my stuff. Honestly, that allowed me to
- 28:40Speaker 19: be able to come to a place to write from
- 28:42Speaker 19: the perspective I'm able to write from now.
- 28:43Speaker 14: Were you ever on the other side, meaning where you
- 28:45Speaker 14: have the person to throw the clothes in the bag
- 28:47Speaker 14: and then throw the clothes out the window?
- 28:48Speaker 2: For sure?
- 28:51Speaker 7: First cool?
- 28:53Speaker 19: Yeah, I've been like a twenty five year old girl before. Yeah,
- 28:56Speaker 19: for sure.
- 28:56Speaker 18: What has your journey been like since you said last
- 28:59Speaker 18: time they saw you was like first week of Yeah,
- 29:01Speaker 18: you know, what has your personal journey been like? You know,
- 29:04Speaker 18: using your medicines down and kind of understanding you know
- 29:07Speaker 18: your body and your mental that what is that up
- 29:09Speaker 18: and down or consistency been like it has been different
- 29:11Speaker 18: for you?
- 29:12Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean bipolar disorder is a really layered thing.
- 29:16Speaker 19: That also, because it's so stigmatized in the world and
- 29:20Speaker 19: there's so many jokes about it that I think people
- 29:21Speaker 19: get really confused, you know, they think, Okay, I woke
- 29:23Speaker 19: up with an attitude and then later on I felt better
- 29:25Speaker 19: than I had attitude again, so I'm bipolar.
- 29:27Speaker 10: It's a way bigger, deeper thing than that.
- 29:31Speaker 19: And I think medicine and my therapy journey gave me
- 29:35Speaker 19: the opportunity to have thought applied to my mood and
- 29:38Speaker 19: thought applied to situations when you know, other wh like
- 29:43Speaker 19: other in other ways, I wouldn't have had the thought.
- 29:44Speaker 19: I would have just felt it and it would have
- 29:46Speaker 19: just left, and next thing you know, there's episodical things happening,
- 29:49Speaker 19: and next thing you know, I'm just gone with the wind.
- 29:52Speaker 19: But this, I wouldn't say it stops it completely, but
- 29:55Speaker 19: it really allows you to have a process.
- 29:57Speaker 10: And I think that that's been the biggest I have
- 30:00Speaker 10: so much.
- 30:02Speaker 19: So much option for process now, and I can go
- 30:06Speaker 19: through these things and take them slowly and think about
- 30:08Speaker 19: them and like have a second where I'm like, you know,
- 30:11Speaker 19: I have the tools now, I have a tool belt
- 30:12Speaker 19: of things I can apply, Like do I go this way?
- 30:15Speaker 10: Do I take a walk? Do I like?
- 30:16Speaker 19: This is not the reaction that I want to This
- 30:18Speaker 19: is not the version of myself that I want to
- 30:20Speaker 19: show up in this situation.
- 30:22Speaker 10: So things like that, I think.
- 30:23Speaker 4: I always say it's difficult being vulnerable, right for an artists?
- 30:26Speaker 14: How difficult is that because it's showing a side of
- 30:28Speaker 14: yourself that I'm sure you think that maybe people are
- 30:31Speaker 14: laugh But then on the other side, I'm sure as
- 30:33Speaker 14: a side that says there's so many people dealing with it,
- 30:35Speaker 14: and I love the fact artists are doing more. We
- 30:37Speaker 14: seen it with Gucci the same thing. So when did
- 30:39Speaker 14: you realize I could be that vulnerable? And was it
- 30:41Speaker 14: a hard line to draw to be like? Do I
- 30:43Speaker 14: want to be this vulnerable? Do I want to share
- 30:45Speaker 14: this experience?
- 30:46Speaker 10: I think I've.
- 30:46Speaker 19: Always been messally vulnerable, but I grew up in front
- 30:51Speaker 19: of the world. You know, everybody's been seeing me do
- 30:53Speaker 19: interviews like this since I was nineteen years old, And
- 30:56Speaker 19: I think when you're viewing it on the outside it,
- 30:59Speaker 19: you kind of time stamp people like artists get timestamped
- 31:02Speaker 19: and whatever version of themselves stuck out to the fan.
- 31:06Speaker 19: So there's people who still view me as something I
- 31:08Speaker 19: went through when I was twenty four, and like that's
- 31:11Speaker 19: who they'll see me as forever. And when you're twenty
- 31:13Speaker 19: four at that time, you're also confidently speaking in these
- 31:15Speaker 19: interviews because you're like, this is who I am right
- 31:17Speaker 19: now when I get it.
- 31:17Speaker 10: Then ten years later.
- 31:18Speaker 4: You're like, oh my god, I don't know who that person.
- 31:20Speaker 19: I mean, it hasn't been ten years for me, but
- 31:22Speaker 19: I'm thirty now and I'm looking back at things I
- 31:24Speaker 19: said when I was twenty four to twenty five, even
- 31:25Speaker 19: twenty seven, and I'm like, yikes, even a year ago,
- 31:28Speaker 19: I'm like, okay, like growth, I'm different now.
- 31:32Speaker 8: It's good though, you have your self awareness that.
- 31:35Speaker 10: That was supposed to go.
- 31:36Speaker 7: Yeah, you know this. This have to feel good to
- 31:38Speaker 7: you too.
- 31:39Speaker 8: The success of folded because vocally you were one of
- 31:42Speaker 8: the first artists I saw publicly showing support for Palestine,
- 31:46Speaker 8: and I mean you spoke out when a lot of
- 31:47Speaker 8: people weren't.
- 31:48Speaker 7: I know, you lost shows because of it, you were
- 31:50Speaker 7: barred from things.
- 31:51Speaker 8: How does it feel having this success and you have
- 31:54Speaker 8: it for being on the right side of history.
- 31:55Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 31:56Speaker 19: I think if we have the courage to do things
- 31:58Speaker 19: and then so we see people have success after doing
- 32:01Speaker 19: the things that we deem scary, we might be more
- 32:03Speaker 19: courageous to do them. And I think it's important that
- 32:07Speaker 19: other artists see that I've been able to thrive after
- 32:09Speaker 19: all those things happened. I mean there's still things that
- 32:11Speaker 19: I will never be allowed to do, or things that
- 32:13Speaker 19: are not getting picked up.
- 32:15Speaker 10: Or oh yeah, for sure, but probably forever.
- 32:18Speaker 19: I don't think people realize how deep it goes. I
- 32:21Speaker 19: didn't even at the time realize how deep it goes. Also,
- 32:23Speaker 19: to be really frank, I was incredibly manic. So a
- 32:26Speaker 19: lot of the routes that I went, the yelling and
- 32:29Speaker 19: the f all you guys if you guys don't understand,
- 32:31Speaker 19: and da da dada, you know what have my team
- 32:33Speaker 19: could go if y'all don't speak, Just these different routes
- 32:35Speaker 19: versus like, hey, let me calm down and be strategic
- 32:37Speaker 19: about this, because in every single movement, in every single
- 32:40Speaker 19: political yeah movement across the board, there's more strategy involved
- 32:44Speaker 19: in the way that you communicated the way that you
- 32:46Speaker 19: choose to organize the things that you engage with, and
- 32:48Speaker 19: at the time I didn't really have those resources to think.
- 32:51Speaker 7: In that way.
- 32:52Speaker 19: So yeah, there's still things that I'm experiencing that I
- 32:55Speaker 19: probably will experienced for a really long time. But I
- 32:58Speaker 19: think this other side if it is speaking to the
- 33:01Speaker 19: fact that when there's great music, there's great music, and
- 33:04Speaker 19: when people love the music and they love the art,
- 33:06Speaker 19: then you can't really be taken out in that way.
- 33:09Speaker 7: I'm a stern believe it.
- 33:10Speaker 8: That you should always move off strategy over emotion, but
- 33:14Speaker 8: you can understand the emotion when you're yes, it's.
- 33:16Speaker 19: So understand why I'm so much grace for how I
- 33:18Speaker 19: handled it, because I was really just passionate and upset.
- 33:21Speaker 10: I was angry. We should have all been angry.
- 33:23Speaker 19: It was really terrible to watch and treacherous to feel
- 33:26Speaker 19: some kind of like a part of because like.
- 33:28Speaker 10: Our country is such a big part of it.
- 33:29Speaker 19: But I definitely wish that I was able to call
- 33:33Speaker 19: myself to be smarter about the way that I went
- 33:35Speaker 19: about it for my own sake and for being a
- 33:38Speaker 19: leader in front of a camera for other people.
- 33:40Speaker 4: And how do you feel when other artists don't speak
- 33:42Speaker 4: about it when they have the opportunity. Do you look,
- 33:44Speaker 4: how does that feel to you? Because you jumped out
- 33:46Speaker 4: the window and yeah, you got banned from things?
- 33:48Speaker 19: And I think it's really easy to say, like I
- 33:53Speaker 19: want to be very clear with my words, like it
- 33:55Speaker 19: is really easy to say that I hate them for
- 33:58Speaker 19: it or I really blame them. But after experiencing everything
- 34:02Speaker 19: I went through, which went way deeper than just being
- 34:05Speaker 19: banned from things that you know, got into my safety,
- 34:08Speaker 19: my family, dynamics, my friendships, I had to move. It
- 34:13Speaker 19: put me into a really bad paranoia every time I
- 34:15Speaker 19: left the house. Was everybody out to get me? And
- 34:17Speaker 19: did I need security to sit in front of my house?
- 34:19Speaker 19: And was anybody plotting on me? And the death threats
- 34:21Speaker 19: I got at my show was like highly organized, typed out.
- 34:25Speaker 10: Detailed death threats.
- 34:28Speaker 19: It's easy to say like that shouldn't matter because we
- 34:31Speaker 19: should all be, you know, up in arms, and part
- 34:33Speaker 19: of me is like, yeah.
- 34:34Speaker 10: We should.
- 34:35Speaker 19: But also I wish there was it wasn't so sinister,
- 34:38Speaker 19: like the lashings behind the scene. I wish it wasn't
- 34:41Speaker 19: so sinister, and I wish it wasn't something to be
- 34:44Speaker 19: afraid of I think if we all spoken numbers and
- 34:47Speaker 19: there was so many of us, it wouldn't be so
- 34:50Speaker 19: easy to just come after one person. I think when
- 34:52Speaker 19: you leave it to be one or two people, it's
- 34:54Speaker 19: easy to just get them out of here. We've seen
- 34:56Speaker 19: it historically. But if it's a lot of people, who
- 34:58Speaker 19: can they get there's a bunch of us.
- 35:00Speaker 8: Didn't make you speak out even more because you did
- 35:03Speaker 8: it the Red Carpet on the AMAS, you voiced support
- 35:06Speaker 8: for Valestine, So when you were.
- 35:08Speaker 7: Getting back lives behind the scenes, you like, now I'm
- 35:09Speaker 7: gonna go out there even more.
- 35:11Speaker 19: I just like I was like, I'm already here, like
- 35:13Speaker 19: I'm already experiencing every time I'm experiencing, and it hasn't stopped,
- 35:17Speaker 19: like it hasn't stopped, Like it's still you know, cease
- 35:22Speaker 19: fire and all still hasn't stopped. And if even if
- 35:25Speaker 19: you know, the genocide itself does stop, there's a much
- 35:28Speaker 19: larger thing at hand there, which is, you know, ending
- 35:30Speaker 19: the apartheid. So I don't know, I don't think it
- 35:34Speaker 19: was ever like an intentional I'm gonna choose to speak.
- 35:37Speaker 19: I was asked a question on the carpet, and I
- 35:39Speaker 19: answered it, and my stance remains the same.
- 35:41Speaker 8: So yeah, it's just interesting that you would still be
- 35:43Speaker 8: getting back because even the U and Chief said there
- 35:45Speaker 8: are strong reasons to believe that war crimes have been committed.
- 35:48Speaker 19: Yeah, but we're dealing We're dealing with a very delusional
- 35:52Speaker 19: other side. It's a very delusional side where you have
- 35:56Speaker 19: shown videos and you've shown facts and they've seen things
- 35:59Speaker 19: in The response is literally, that's not even real, Like
- 36:03Speaker 19: y'all made this up, you know, like you kind of
- 36:06Speaker 19: at some point have to be like, Okay, there's a
- 36:08Speaker 19: game here, and I'm not going to play this game
- 36:09Speaker 19: with you guys, because you know what you're doing.
- 36:11Speaker 10: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna play it.
- 36:12Speaker 18: I saw the comments about you know, you speaking out
- 36:15Speaker 18: on ice and them going into schools and things and that,
- 36:18Speaker 18: I know you're a mom as well, but like, has
- 36:20Speaker 18: there have you experienced any similar pushback from the other
- 36:23Speaker 18: side or wherever because of those comments?
- 36:26Speaker 2: No?
- 36:27Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, Zionism is a much.
- 36:30Speaker 19: Larger, deeper, darker, sinister thing than good old regular American racism,
- 36:37Speaker 19: even though they're very intertwined and they walk hand in
- 36:40Speaker 19: hand with each other a little bit.
- 36:42Speaker 10: But Yeah. No, I haven't experienced any pushback from that.
- 36:45Speaker 19: I think we're all more comfortable talking about that in
- 36:48Speaker 19: general than you know, anything else.
- 36:49Speaker 14: So I was going to ask, you know, we also
- 36:51Speaker 14: see you speak out about AI in the industry.
- 36:53Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 36:55Speaker 14: The crazy part about it is, uh, I agree with you,
- 36:57Speaker 14: but I think it's crazy for an artist. We had
- 37:00Speaker 14: Tank and and they were talking. They were talking about
- 37:04Speaker 14: they think it's a good thing and that you know,
- 37:06Speaker 14: artists and the industry needs to adapt to it.
- 37:09Speaker 4: I think it kind of hurts the fact of.
- 37:11Speaker 7: The creativity better than Kline.
- 37:13Speaker 14: You're executive, right, Yes, would you have a sign an
- 37:16Speaker 14: artist that you got to deal with makeup, hair manages, security,
- 37:21Speaker 14: all that, or AI person that you ain't gonta deal
- 37:23Speaker 14: with nothing.
- 37:23Speaker 4: You cut a check and just let the money come up.
- 37:25Speaker 4: If you tell me that person you just said, it's Kayline.
- 37:28Speaker 4: I'm taking Kaylaney work. They're going to see her drive,
- 37:33Speaker 4: They're gonna see how hard she goes. And what's your thoughts.
- 37:38Speaker 10: I think there's so many layers to it.
- 37:39Speaker 19: One we're gonna put out there that you know, it's
- 37:41Speaker 19: not good for the environment, it's affecting communities everywhere. But
- 37:46Speaker 19: especially disparage Black communities in America's messing with the waters,
- 37:50Speaker 19: messing with the air, like it's gonna make people sick
- 37:52Speaker 19: in the long run. We move on from that and
- 37:55Speaker 19: get into all these aspects of music that are being
- 38:00Speaker 19: and jobs.
- 38:01Speaker 10: Let's forget music, right.
- 38:04Speaker 19: I'm speaking to music because I'm being asked about music,
- 38:06Speaker 19: you know, but I'm not. I think there's a much
- 38:09Speaker 19: larger thing of like all these little jobs that people
- 38:11Speaker 19: are employed to do that is keeping their families going,
- 38:14Speaker 19: that is literally feeding everyone around them, are just gone
- 38:18Speaker 19: and we don't realize we're training, you know, these systems
- 38:22Speaker 19: to do those things. There's things that I understand. I
- 38:24Speaker 19: think I was told about how it is working for surgeries,
- 38:28Speaker 19: like these robots are helping in surgery, you know, more
- 38:33Speaker 19: precise surgeries.
- 38:34Speaker 10: And then there's you know, like the.
- 38:36Speaker 19: Disabled community and being able to get things done in
- 38:39Speaker 19: that way. And I've experienced producers and writers be stuck
- 38:43Speaker 19: on something and use it to help or like finish
- 38:47Speaker 19: something and then get it replayed or get it remade,
- 38:49Speaker 19: and like, those aren't exactly things that I'm super mad about,
- 38:52Speaker 19: Like I'm not going to bark at them the same way,
- 38:54Speaker 19: but overall as a whole.
- 38:56Speaker 4: But a fake person, a fake art, as a fake singer.
- 38:58Speaker 19: It's just unfortunate because I think music is such a
- 39:00Speaker 19: God given thing. It's it's it's the highest gift, you know,
- 39:03Speaker 19: God gave to earth. It's used in every single religion
- 39:06Speaker 19: across the board to connect with God. It's it's it's
- 39:08Speaker 19: a very powerful thing. And for it to be generated
- 39:12Speaker 19: in that way and also be what it's. What it's
- 39:15Speaker 19: using to be generated is a combination of real people's
- 39:18Speaker 19: stories and real people's voices and real people's feelings and emotion,
- 39:22Speaker 19: and for all that to happen even deeper than oh,
- 39:24Speaker 19: it's going to take our jobs, because there's this sensationalized
- 39:28Speaker 19: sentence of mind that's like why do I have to
- 39:29Speaker 19: compete with a computer. But it's not about competing. It's
- 39:32Speaker 19: more like this is a disruption of something that God
- 39:36Speaker 19: gave us.
- 39:37Speaker 10: You know what I mean? And that feels wrong to me.
- 39:40Speaker 19: Like it's music is such a it comes from here,
- 39:43Speaker 19: it's given here, and to have that generated through a
- 39:47Speaker 19: computer it just feels like it's it's it just feels wrong.
- 39:49Speaker 8: I like this argument, l I like this because I
- 39:51Speaker 8: feel the same way it is a download from God
- 39:54Speaker 8: downloaded from a computer. But you have you know, they
- 39:56Speaker 8: have Jesus Ai. You can log on and have meaningful
- 40:00Speaker 8: conversations with Jesus.
- 40:01Speaker 4: And Jesus a message and then yeah, that back a
- 40:05Speaker 4: biblical verse.
- 40:07Speaker 19: I think it's gonna go so far. I think it's
- 40:10Speaker 19: gonna go so far. I don't think people are thinking
- 40:12Speaker 19: about the negative implications.
- 40:14Speaker 10: Like being able to be framed for.
- 40:15Speaker 19: Things, being able to have images creative of your children
- 40:20Speaker 19: that are inappropriate that lives on people's computers and they
- 40:23Speaker 19: can do whatever they.
- 40:24Speaker 10: Want to it.
- 40:26Speaker 19: When you're when you wake up one day and somebody
- 40:28Speaker 19: has a sex tape of you that never happened.
- 40:31Speaker 10: If they can make that's happening.
- 40:33Speaker 19: Now, have you heard about the people getting the phone
- 40:36Speaker 19: calls years ago?
- 40:38Speaker 7: They call you and you hear your kids with somebody.
- 40:40Speaker 19: I need X amount of money because my kid got
- 40:42Speaker 19: kidd Like, I don't think people are It's just cute
- 40:45Speaker 19: and fun and games now and you want to make
- 40:46Speaker 19: videos of Malcolm X eating and seafood boil with Martin
- 40:48Speaker 19: Luther King and and Michael Jackson and Prince have an
- 40:52Speaker 19: argument about whose funeral was more lit like I've seen
- 40:54Speaker 19: them all. You know, it's it's but there comes a
- 40:57Speaker 19: point when you have to realize that where they're always
- 41:00Speaker 19: light and fun, there's always going to be the extreme
- 41:03Speaker 19: of that existing somewhere that we can't access it. And
- 41:06Speaker 19: I also think something is real sinister about the White
- 41:09Speaker 19: House using so much AI.
- 41:11Speaker 7: Oh, this election is gonna be crazy.
- 41:12Speaker 10: Yeah, it's gonna be nice. How are they going to
- 41:14Speaker 10: be able to say anything was real or false?
- 41:16Speaker 18: What do you say to the people, because I know
- 41:18Speaker 18: one of the conversations that you were having was specifically
- 41:21Speaker 18: about the three million dollar deal, the reported three million
- 41:23Speaker 18: dollars that Zenia the AI the thing.
- 41:26Speaker 10: I don't even know how to comput.
- 41:29Speaker 18: Yeah, the artist that I am on a guy. Right,
- 41:32Speaker 18: there are people that will say all of that is true,
- 41:34Speaker 18: but there's good and bad with everything. But on the
- 41:35Speaker 18: other hand, you have this black woman who is using
- 41:38Speaker 18: her poetry to write lyrics and now it's three million
- 41:40Speaker 18: dollars wealthier and able to do for her family and
- 41:43Speaker 18: stuff like that.
- 41:44Speaker 19: I mean, I said, even in the times I've spoken
- 41:45Speaker 19: about her, I'm I'm not mad at her ability to
- 41:48Speaker 19: have done that for herself. I think it's dishonest the
- 41:51Speaker 19: way we're speaking about it, because I think it's a
- 41:54Speaker 19: very interesting thing to be responding to particular comments and
- 41:57Speaker 19: saying certain.
- 41:58Speaker 10: Things, but not tell the truth. Tell the truth.
- 42:02Speaker 19: You wrote a couple lines, you said a couple of words,
- 42:05Speaker 19: then you framed I might want it to sound like this,
- 42:07Speaker 19: and go like this, and take from this and make
- 42:08Speaker 19: it sound like this and make it appeal in this
- 42:10Speaker 19: way and make me look like this, and da da da,
- 42:12Speaker 19: and it did all of that. You're doing fifteen percent
- 42:14Speaker 19: of the job. Let's just be honest about what the
- 42:16Speaker 19: fifteen percent of the job is. If you write poetry,
- 42:19Speaker 19: I would love to write with a poet. I've written
- 42:22Speaker 19: with poets before they come in. We write together. I
- 42:24Speaker 19: turn their words into a song. I use my songwriter
- 42:26Speaker 19: brain to apply to their poetry brain, and we make a.
- 42:29Speaker 10: Really beautiful product.
- 42:31Speaker 19: But I'm watching her answer these questions, and I'm watching
- 42:34Speaker 19: the lies accumulate and like take together in her head
- 42:37Speaker 19: to try to figure out what to say, and I'm like,
- 42:39Speaker 19: we could just tell the truth and say what the
- 42:41Speaker 19: tool is being used for, and then maybe it can
- 42:44Speaker 19: have its separate charts, or it cannot.
- 42:46Speaker 10: Because you're right, there is no stopping it.
- 42:48Speaker 19: I could get, you know, for being said it should
- 42:51Speaker 19: have its own charts, but at this point something has
- 42:53Speaker 19: to be done artists.
- 42:56Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I had created something called a guaranteed human.
- 43:01Speaker 8: I saw that, so at least we're going to be
- 43:03Speaker 8: human like the personalities and music. But if one day
- 43:06Speaker 8: they do decide to play AI music, it'll still you.
- 43:08Speaker 7: Know, this is a music.
- 43:10Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 43:10Speaker 19: So yeah, it's less about I want everybody to feed their.
- 43:15Speaker 10: Families and be successful at the end of the day.
- 43:17Speaker 10: That like, that's my wish.
- 43:18Speaker 19: If I had one wish in the world, it would
- 43:20Speaker 19: be for everybody to have their needs met.
- 43:22Speaker 10: So I'm never mad at that.
- 43:24Speaker 8: I like just you said, because I was going to
- 43:25Speaker 8: ask you, what does authentic music have that AI generated
- 43:28Speaker 8: music could not have?
- 43:29Speaker 7: God?
- 43:31Speaker 10: Yeah, that's it.
- 43:33Speaker 2: I don't.
- 43:33Speaker 10: I don't. I don't play with things like that.
- 43:35Speaker 2: You know.
- 43:35Speaker 19: It's it's it's it's such a deep thing, and I
- 43:38Speaker 19: feel like not us being able to I watched the
- 43:41Speaker 19: A artists even talk about God. Is it is insane?
- 43:44Speaker 19: The AI gospel that is insane. I'm looking in Zenaiam's Yeah,
- 43:49Speaker 19: I'm looking at Zaimon's comments and they're saying, since you're anointed,
- 43:52Speaker 19: that's kind of crazy.
- 43:54Speaker 18: I'm go go look at the comments right now. But
- 43:57Speaker 18: I will say when I first heard the song, when
- 43:58Speaker 18: everybody was up in arms, I had listen to the music,
- 44:00Speaker 18: and I went and listened, and I was like, oh,
- 44:02Speaker 18: this is actually like it's good music.
- 44:04Speaker 19: Because you know what it's doing though. It's analyzing the
- 44:08Speaker 19: community that she's trying to appeal to, which means it's
- 44:12Speaker 19: studying black women, saying what do black women want to hear?
- 44:14Speaker 19: What perspectives, what type of voices, what kind of stories,
- 44:19Speaker 19: what kind of emotions, and then accumulating all of that
- 44:22Speaker 19: and going, I'm going to give you a package deal
- 44:24Speaker 19: of exactly what you want, even down to what I
- 44:26Speaker 19: look like.
- 44:27Speaker 7: It's an artificial, annoying, artificial.
- 44:30Speaker 10: I don't know if that goes in it.
- 44:31Speaker 7: I don't know if that goes.
- 44:32Speaker 10: In the same sentence.
- 44:34Speaker 14: But you know, hey, are you a guesst the chat
- 44:36Speaker 14: GPT stuff as well.
- 44:38Speaker 19: I'm against people putting it in place of very human things.
- 44:42Speaker 10: Look, we are entering.
- 44:43Speaker 4: It makes life easier for a lot of people.
- 44:45Speaker 10: It does, and that's and that's the argument. It does because.
- 44:48Speaker 14: Kids go to school you can type in a pay
- 44:50Speaker 14: I have to do a report on this type and
- 44:51Speaker 14: chat gypt.
- 44:53Speaker 19: The argument of like people who can't afford English classes
- 44:57Speaker 19: that moved here, I need English classes, is teaching them
- 44:59Speaker 19: mingle like there are there's always gonna be this thing
- 45:04Speaker 19: that's like, there are things that it is good for,
- 45:06Speaker 19: and there are things that it is bad for outside
- 45:08Speaker 19: of you know what's doing, what it's doing to the environment,
- 45:11Speaker 19: but we become gluttonous with it, and it's there is
- 45:13Speaker 19: not regulated, guys. That's really the problem is that it's
- 45:16Speaker 19: not regulated. Did you not see the moments where people
- 45:21Speaker 19: were telling their or chat gbt to cancel itself and
- 45:24Speaker 19: then it hops servers to avoid getting deleted like eye robot.
- 45:28Speaker 10: Yes it hot. I promise you can look this up
- 45:30Speaker 10: right now.
- 45:30Speaker 19: It jumped servers because it didn't want to get If
- 45:34Speaker 19: it can observe all of our emotions, why couldn't it
- 45:36Speaker 19: be able to think of something as sinister as we
- 45:37Speaker 19: could think of and not want to get canceled or
- 45:40Speaker 19: not want to get deleted, or not want to be
- 45:41Speaker 19: gone or want to it's studying us twenty four seven.
- 45:44Speaker 7: Yeah, it's something I mean, I totally agree with you.
- 45:47Speaker 8: With the god thing, because there's something to be in
- 45:48Speaker 8: a spiritual being living in human existence, right, Like we're
- 45:51Speaker 8: supposed to make mistakes, We're supposed to try to figure
- 45:54Speaker 8: things out like us, Like yeah, through prayer and meditation and.
- 45:57Speaker 19: Just and therapy, commute. Being a community member is really important.
- 46:02Speaker 19: Talking to people, having other people talk to you back,
- 46:04Speaker 19: sharing experience, messing up together, being held accountable, being called in, growing,
- 46:09Speaker 19: getting applause from other humans, getting love from other humans.
- 46:12Speaker 19: If we're all just going to be alone, getting all
- 46:14Speaker 19: those things from a robot, like, we're gonna stunt ourselves
- 46:17Speaker 19: as a world.
- 46:19Speaker 7: As a species that what happens to love.
- 46:21Speaker 10: And what happens to art and what happens to music?
- 46:23Speaker 19: I just had I've been having this conversation for weeks,
- 46:25Speaker 19: like you know that, paired with how the internet's obsessed
- 46:29Speaker 19: with destroying each other and calling and completely ruining people's
- 46:32Speaker 19: lives and doing all these kind of things, we're entering
- 46:35Speaker 19: a very individualistic, let's kill community for people kind of world,
- 46:40Speaker 19: Like we're isolating everyone from every side, technology and each
- 46:44Speaker 19: other is becoming this huge isolation isolation party, and it's
- 46:47Speaker 19: really sad.
- 46:48Speaker 14: How does that make you as a mom now because
- 46:50Speaker 14: you have a daughter. So how are you raising your
- 46:52Speaker 14: child in this type of world that you just named?
- 46:54Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 46:54Speaker 14: Because these other kids when they go to these colleges
- 46:57Speaker 14: and schools, they be using chat, GPT. You know, these
- 46:59Speaker 14: other kids are gonna be using things that necessarily you
- 47:02Speaker 14: don't agree with, you know, So how do you raise
- 47:04Speaker 14: that daughter in this crazy world with information?
- 47:08Speaker 10: I think I give her all the information possible. I don't.
- 47:10Speaker 10: I don't lie to my kid. I don't.
- 47:11Speaker 19: You know, obviously you don't just outright tell her terrible things,
- 47:14Speaker 19: but like you give her all the information, so she
- 47:17Speaker 19: knows what's out there, and I tell her why this,
- 47:19Speaker 19: I don't.
- 47:20Speaker 10: Agree with this, Why I think this is bad?
- 47:21Speaker 19: Why you know, I'm not going to say no to this,
- 47:24Speaker 19: but I'm going to give you another option and explain
- 47:26Speaker 19: why that option is probably the better option to do,
- 47:29Speaker 19: and let her decide. Ultimately, I can't protect her from
- 47:31Speaker 19: what she learns at school and what her friends share
- 47:34Speaker 19: and things like that. But at home, we're very like
- 47:38Speaker 19: human focused, and I'm very communal. Like she's a big
- 47:40Speaker 19: extended family. She's a million aunties and uncles and cousins,
- 47:44Speaker 19: and she lives a very I have community and people
- 47:47Speaker 19: around me kind of life. She's not sitting in the
- 47:49Speaker 19: corner on her iPad alone all day. That's just not
- 47:51Speaker 19: her life.
- 47:51Speaker 4: Does she see? How does she feel about the evolved
- 47:54Speaker 4: version of Kailanie?
- 47:55Speaker 13: Right?
- 47:55Speaker 4: Because you said you've changed?
- 47:56Speaker 10: He's six, I don't know.
- 47:58Speaker 14: Between three and six and four and six, like Mommy's cool.
- 48:03Speaker 19: I mean, I've been her mom the whole time. I've
- 48:05Speaker 19: just been my daughter's mom the whole time. How everyone
- 48:09Speaker 19: else gets to see me is never gonna be how
- 48:11Speaker 19: she sees me, because I'm just her mommy. I always
- 48:14Speaker 19: have been, I always will be. I don't fall apart
- 48:18Speaker 19: in front of her. I don't put it. I don't
- 48:21Speaker 19: put her in any adult situation. And she doesn't have
- 48:23Speaker 19: a clue if anything is going on with me. I've
- 48:25Speaker 19: just been her happy mom this whole time. And I
- 48:27Speaker 19: take pride in that.
- 48:27Speaker 8: You switching gears. You said Brandy was on your Mount Rushmore? Yes,
- 48:32Speaker 8: who else.
- 48:34Speaker 10: Stevie Wonder is the head of the Mount Rushmore is?
- 48:38Speaker 7: His vocals are just artist.
- 48:40Speaker 10: I think artistreet okay, okay, okay, And.
- 48:43Speaker 18: This for everybody, or you said every artist or every
- 48:46Speaker 18: singer should have this Mount Rushmore.
- 48:48Speaker 19: I think every singer should have different kinds of Mount Rushmore's.
- 48:51Speaker 19: Like I said, she should be on the vocal Mount Rushmore,
- 48:53Speaker 19: but also artistry like in general, but she should be
- 48:56Speaker 19: on everyone's vocal Mount Rushmore one hundred.
- 48:58Speaker 7: Well, I want to know your vocal Okama, Russian?
- 49:00Speaker 10: Okay, Brandy Beyonce.

- 49:56Speaker 4: And we appreciate you for joining us.
- 49:58Speaker 10: Thank you. We always get real deep in here.
- 50:00Speaker 4: One time Calney didn't want to come up and she's like,
- 50:01Speaker 4: I ain't with the breakfast.
- 50:04Speaker 2: Mother.
- 50:04Speaker 4: But we got through it.
- 50:06Speaker 10: We were having different conversations. Then yes, I look at
- 50:10Speaker 10: us and growth.
- 50:12Speaker 4: It's the breakfast club. Good morning, some donkey days.
- 50:18Speaker 7: Just sudden, Charlotte Man was ready.
- 50:23Speaker 1: I read the donkey again, Charla.
- 50:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:33Speaker 11: Everything that Charlotte mane saying.
- 50:37Speaker 8: Donkey today goes to a sixty one year old man
- 50:39Speaker 8: named William Bushy. Okay, Now, William is described as an
- 50:43Speaker 8: isolated man who's spend in an inordinate amount of time
- 50:47Speaker 8: alone playing computer games in this room. Okay, I don't
- 50:49Speaker 8: know if you all realize it, but there's a whole
- 50:51Speaker 8: plethora of people who don't need to do anything in
- 50:53Speaker 8: life except for this.
- 50:54Speaker 7: Okay.
- 50:55Speaker 8: In fact, this is their life. They're called gamers, right,
- 50:59Speaker 8: and it's like that was being a gamer all right.
- 51:01Speaker 8: They have specific terms like hardcore gamer, which describes individuals
- 51:05Speaker 8: who dedicate a significant amount of time to playing games.
- 51:07Speaker 8: Other terms include gaming attic and gaming enthusiasts, which highlights
- 51:12Speaker 8: their passion and enjoyment of video games, respectively. Well, we
- 51:15Speaker 8: need to add a new descriptive to this list, because
- 51:18Speaker 8: what do you call a person who's willing to kill
- 51:21Speaker 8: you if you get between them and their gaming time.
- 51:24Speaker 7: We'll discuss in a second, but first, let's go to
- 51:26Speaker 7: CBS eight for the report. Please, this is the shotgun
- 51:29Speaker 7: that he loaded, A shotgun that nobody.
- 51:31Speaker 4: Knew that he had.
- 51:32Speaker 20: San Diego Deputy District Attorney Scott Parello showed jurors a
- 51:35Speaker 20: weapon William Bushy used in the August twenty twenty four
- 51:38Speaker 20: shooting death of his sister, sixty one year old Lorie
- 51:41Speaker 20: Robinson and nephew, thirty three year old Brett Robinson. Bushy's
- 51:45Speaker 20: eighty six year old mother, June Bushy, was also injured.
- 51:48Speaker 20: June testified she and her daughter were talking outside on
- 51:51Speaker 20: the patio of her Point Loma home when Bushy emerged
- 51:54Speaker 20: with a gun and started shooting without saying a word.
- 51:57Speaker 20: But Bushy's defense attorney argue he kept to himself and
- 52:00Speaker 20: had never been violent. He says, but she moved in
- 52:03Speaker 20: with his mom after being diagnosed with HIV, leaving him
- 52:07Speaker 20: so sick he couldn't work, saying, Bushy's snapped, believing his
- 52:11Speaker 20: sister was trying to get him kicked out.
- 52:14Speaker 8: Listen, man, society really has a flawed dependency on technology.
- 52:18Speaker 8: We saw that yesterday when Verazena went down for ten hours.
- 52:21Speaker 8: Folks was losing their minds. Have you ever seen the
- 52:23Speaker 8: movie Leave the World Behind. We discussed a little bit earlier.
- 52:26Speaker 8: Obamas were producers on it, and they have this whole
- 52:29Speaker 8: three part disaster theory, which is isolation, synchronized chaos, and
- 52:33Speaker 8: then civil wars. It shows how cyber terrorism can destabilize
- 52:37Speaker 8: the powerful country. People always ask could this happen in
- 52:40Speaker 8: real life? And the answer is yes. Okay, you shut
- 52:42Speaker 8: down all forms of communication, you know, get rid of
- 52:44Speaker 8: the Internet, TV, phone, satellite, video games, shut all that down.
- 52:47Speaker 8: People will lose their minds. Because we are a technology
- 52:51Speaker 8: technologically dependent society. Okay, when you shut down our technology,
- 52:55Speaker 8: people fall into a state of hopelessness and confusion.
- 52:58Speaker 7: And that's exactly what happened to this dude, William Bushy.
- 53:01Speaker 3: On top of.
- 53:01Speaker 7: Everything else he was dealing with.
- 53:03Speaker 8: Okay, he heard that he was diagnosed with HIV. He
- 53:06Speaker 8: was sixty one years old, had to live back home
- 53:08Speaker 8: with his mom for the last fifteen years, so that
- 53:10Speaker 8: means from the age of.
- 53:11Speaker 7: Forty six he was living with his mom.
- 53:14Speaker 8: Okay, he clearly has never heard no Scrubs by TLC,
- 53:18Speaker 8: because if he did, that would have set him off
- 53:19Speaker 8: a long time ago. Now he had a history of
- 53:22Speaker 8: acting hostile towards family members, all right, so he clearly
- 53:26Speaker 8: never liked any of them.
- 53:27Speaker 7: And if you read the actual police report.
- 53:30Speaker 8: It says his sister moved back in his system, moved
- 53:32Speaker 8: back in, and that set him off too and led
- 53:34Speaker 8: him to start acting out even more sidebar and I
- 53:37Speaker 8: want you all to remember this man when you pray
- 53:39Speaker 8: for negativity to be removed from your life, don't be
- 53:42Speaker 8: surprised when God starts you moving family members.
- 53:45Speaker 7: And furthermore, you.
- 53:46Speaker 8: Don't have to have any loyalty to your family if
- 53:49Speaker 8: you know they aren't going to do anything but cause
- 53:52Speaker 8: you problems. Okay, did you hear the great Allan Levant's
- 53:56Speaker 8: not last album when she says she avoided her daughter's
- 53:58Speaker 8: funeral because she didn't want to trigger her daughter's son,
- 54:01Speaker 8: because she knows she's a trigger for him, and she's
- 54:04Speaker 8: not gonna put herself in an emotionally unsafe situation where
- 54:09Speaker 8: some harm could happen to her. She knew that and
- 54:12Speaker 8: distance herself because oftentimes, all right, our greatest challenges don't
- 54:17Speaker 8: come from the outside. Hell no, they come from the inside,
- 54:19Speaker 8: internally in your own head. Okay, folks, is dealing with
- 54:22Speaker 8: all types of mental and emotional issues and inside our relationships,
- 54:25Speaker 8: inside our families. Okay, if you don't feel safe around
- 54:28Speaker 8: your family members, you better listen to your heart three sacks,
- 54:31Speaker 8: because that awareness can and will save your life.
- 54:34Speaker 7: All right.
- 54:34Speaker 8: The prosecutor in this case, well, I think I don't procutate,
- 54:38Speaker 8: but I was reading the report and it said the
- 54:39Speaker 8: family took several safety measures out of fear. Okay, they
- 54:45Speaker 8: removed knives from the home, they changed locks, and they
- 54:48Speaker 8: got to restrain in order, okay, and they were taking
- 54:50Speaker 8: steps to a victim.
- 54:51Speaker 7: Police were even called to the house twice.
- 54:54Speaker 8: Because of angry outbrust from William, and officers determined no
- 54:57Speaker 8: crimes were committed, so they didn't arrest him on either occasion.
- 55:00Speaker 8: And now look all these people dead, mama shot because
- 55:04Speaker 8: the Internet was shut down and you couldn't play your
- 55:07Speaker 8: video games. And all they was trying to do was
- 55:11Speaker 8: relocate the Wi Fi rider from his room, his bedroom
- 55:15Speaker 8: to his mama's room. Look, man, you're not responsible for
- 55:19Speaker 8: your trauma, but you are responsible.
- 55:21Speaker 7: For your healing. William was sixty one years old.
- 55:24Speaker 8: This was a fully broad ass man, Okay, big age

- 1:01:34Speaker 13: But just getting in the lab with French was like
- 1:01:36Speaker 13: it brought back a lot of old energy. It just
