- 4:39Speaker 1: else were talking about? Easy? Well, Bill Gates is once
- 4:41Speaker 1: again the richest person in the world. He has a
- 4:43Speaker 1: net worth up one hundred and ten billion dollars. Elizabeth
- 4:46Speaker 1: Warren got planned for that goddamn money. Take that she
- 4:51Speaker 1: sure does now. Jeff Bezos was previously the richest man
- 4:55Speaker 1: in the world, but now Bill Gates is back on top.
- 4:58Speaker 1: So Bezos had to actually hey out a significant portion
- 5:01Speaker 1: of his Amazon steak and his divorce from his wife
- 5:04Speaker 1: of twenty five years, and he is second with the
- 5:06Speaker 1: net worth of one hundred eight point seven billion dollars.
- 5:09Speaker 1: So they're neck and neck, all right, a little bit,
- 5:11Speaker 1: Warren got planned for your money to Jeff Basos, all right.
- 5:14Speaker 1: At Syracuse University, they have suspended fraternity activities after there
- 5:17Speaker 1: have been some racist incidents as of late. So apparently
- 5:21Speaker 1: there was a group of fraternity members and their guests
- 5:23Speaker 1: that subjected allegedly a black student to a verbal racial
- 5:26Speaker 1: epithet on Saturday night, and they said there's been several
- 5:30Speaker 1: attacks on marginalized communities at the school, including other racial
- 5:34Speaker 1: slurs spoken and in graffiti around the campus. They said
- 5:37Speaker 1: African Americans and Asians were reported at the student residence building,
- 5:40Speaker 1: Day Hall. Slurs against them were reported at day Hall,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and the Daily Newspaper actually reported the news and Renegade magazine,
- 5:48Speaker 1: which is a platform for black college students, said that
- 5:51Speaker 1: these incidents also involved the N word, And they said
- 5:54Speaker 1: on Wednesday, November sixth, in Day Hall, not only did
- 5:56Speaker 1: someone take out all the light pictures and put them
- 5:58Speaker 1: in the toilets, they brought the end across the bathrooms
- 6:01Speaker 1: on both floors. And there was also some type of
- 6:05Speaker 1: white supremacist manifesto that was posted online and air dropped
- 6:09Speaker 1: to several cell phones of individuals at the library. Oh well,
- 6:13Speaker 1: you're a passive, aggressive racist coward because he can't say
- 6:16Speaker 1: it to nobody's face. He got an air dropped messages
- 6:18Speaker 1: and spray graffiti on things. All right. In Chick fil A,
- 6:21Speaker 1: will no longer donate to anti LGBTQ organizations. They're making
- 6:25Speaker 1: major changes, and that is to the Salvation Army and
- 6:31Speaker 1: the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Both organizations have taken controversial
- 6:35Speaker 1: stands on homosexuality and same sex marriage, so they are
- 6:38Speaker 1: no longer going to donate to those. Oh that popat
- 6:40Speaker 1: is chicken sandwich is kicking the ass boy dropping a clue,
- 6:43Speaker 1: that Pope chicken sandwich ending homophobia. All right. In burger case,
- 6:48Speaker 1: it's being sued by vegans, and that's for the impossible
- 6:52Speaker 1: burger because impossible burgers are actually cooked on the same
- 6:55Speaker 1: grill as their regular burger. I love it. So it's
- 6:59Speaker 1: supposed to be a veg An alternative, but then you
- 7:01Speaker 1: can't sit there and grill them on the same grill
- 7:03Speaker 1: as meat. By product, I love it. They're gonna get
- 7:05Speaker 1: some money too, and they're gonna get some Why, well,
- 7:07Speaker 1: they never said they were gonna grill it on a
- 7:09Speaker 1: different grill. They just said it was what the burger was, sabotage.
- 7:12Speaker 1: If you're vegan, you're not supposed to eat. You gotta
- 7:15Speaker 1: read the five print. There's no fine print with five
- 7:17Speaker 1: prinks because they didn't say they were gonna get They
- 7:20Speaker 1: just said they're gonna give you the meaty park And
- 7:22Speaker 1: if I have some, you know when I used to

- 15:02Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast Club. Just oh gosh, reports with Angela.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Angela report the Breakfast Club. Well. J Low was named
- 15:18Speaker 1: g q's Man of the in the Men of the
- 15:21Speaker 1: Year issue. She was named the Icon of the Year,
- 15:23Speaker 1: and she talked about making the movie Hustler. She acted
- 15:26Speaker 1: in it, produced it, and she said she did it
- 15:28Speaker 1: all for free. She said, I do things because I
- 15:30Speaker 1: love them. I didn't get paid a whole bunch of
- 15:32Speaker 1: money for Hustlers. I did it for free and produced it.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I bank on myself. That's the Jenny from the black.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I do what I want, I do what I love.
- 15:40Speaker 1: So she didn't get that upfront money. But I'm going
- 15:42Speaker 1: back in. She got paid. She's made a lot of money.
- 15:45Speaker 1: It only took them thirty three million to make that movie.
- 15:47Speaker 1: They made over a hundred million dollars. She produced that movie.
- 15:50Speaker 1: She got paid, she got a back end, she could
- 15:52Speaker 1: probably got a piece of some some equity in the movie.
- 15:55Speaker 1: She gets a good back end. Come on, Jenny, all right,
- 15:57Speaker 1: But what she's saying is that she banked on herself.
- 15:58Speaker 1: She didn't get that upfront money. She didn't get paid
- 16:00Speaker 1: for it necessarily. Just imagine if things wouldn't have worked
- 16:03Speaker 1: out and then you end up taking a loss. But
- 16:06Speaker 1: fortunately it is. It's still a risk, right, and they
- 16:08Speaker 1: did work out. Yeah, I'd rather bet on myself in
- 16:10Speaker 1: that way. I mean, listen to the cast to get
- 16:12Speaker 1: out got paid because a lot of them took back
- 16:14Speaker 1: in money. Yeah, So it's still a risk when you
- 16:17Speaker 1: first get into it. You never know what's going to happen.
- 16:19Speaker 1: All right, Now, fifty cent, a lot of people were
- 16:21Speaker 1: talking about his Instagram account getting deactivated. Well, he said
- 16:26Speaker 1: that he himself actually turned his page off. According to fifty.
- 16:29Speaker 1: He said, Eloa, I'm cool with all these false reports.
- 16:32Speaker 1: If you don't know why something happens, you can't just
- 16:34Speaker 1: make some ish up. I turned my own Instagram page off, suckers,
- 16:38Speaker 1: So I guess he was just taking a break from Instagram.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And he's been on Twitter a lot, and I guess
- 16:44Speaker 1: he's trying to build up his Twitter page. He had said,
- 16:46Speaker 1: I like Twitter better than IG right now follow me
- 16:48Speaker 1: over there. So there you have it all right. Little
- 16:52Speaker 1: Zane said he suffered seizures while he was going through
- 16:55Speaker 1: his drug with Drau. He went Cold Turkey from zan
- 16:58Speaker 1: X after he had a relapse and a major health scare.
- 17:01Speaker 1: And here's what he said happened as he was detoxing.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I was in a hospital like from because I had
- 17:07Speaker 1: stopped taking drugs because I'm Cold Turkey, because I didn't
- 17:11Speaker 1: want to be on drugs anywhere. But the weird drugs
- 17:15Speaker 1: actually gave me seizures because like, I wanted to stop
- 17:19Speaker 1: drugs completely, but I did it the wrong way. You know,
- 17:23Speaker 1: I'm completely sobering now. Basically a little people in mac
- 17:27Speaker 1: Miller that really got me off that stuff. Yes, sir,
- 17:31Speaker 1: it's called a drug withdraw Also kids. This is why
- 17:34Speaker 1: you don't choose rap names based off whatever you're drugging.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Choice here is at the moment, because what happens after
- 17:38Speaker 1: you get cleaned? Can you still call yourself lots an?
- 17:40Speaker 1: That's that's another one of my anxieties. You talk about,
- 17:42Speaker 1: I got five kids and one of them get hooked
- 17:44Speaker 1: on drugs, even though you know you never know what happens,
- 17:47Speaker 1: but you just never want that situation. You know it's
- 17:49Speaker 1: good for anxiety. Lannox shut all right, Now, Jah Rule
- 17:55Speaker 1: has been legally cleared in the whole fire festival lawsuits.
- 17:59Speaker 1: So good for him. Dare you go shout the job
- 18:01Speaker 1: rule man? So the judge did dismiss an appeal that
- 18:05Speaker 1: was filed by the fire festival attendees through the law
- 18:08Speaker 1: firm that was throwing them. They wanted to get him
- 18:11Speaker 1: back into a one hundred million dollar class action lawsuit
- 18:15Speaker 1: that was filed against Billy McFarland, who was the fire
- 18:17Speaker 1: Festival Fire Festival co founder, and they did side with
- 18:21Speaker 1: job Rule in that. So now he is legally clear
- 18:25Speaker 1: from that whole lawsuit. His name is not on that lawsuit.
- 18:28Speaker 1: And there you have a congratulations, Job Rule lesser win.
- 18:32Speaker 1: You can't hold y'all rule down. Damn it all right? Now,
- 18:35Speaker 1: Kylie Jenner has sold majority ownership of her cosmetics company
- 18:40Speaker 1: and she sold it for a nice amount of money.
- 18:42Speaker 1: She sold it for six hundred million dollars. Wow, I
- 18:47Speaker 1: love it. I love that entrepreneur. Why not she's gonna
- 18:51Speaker 1: create another company. I love it. So it still doesn't
- 18:54Speaker 1: mean that she doesn't have anything to do with it.
- 18:57Speaker 1: She just sold off a majority of that, so she
- 19:00Speaker 1: still be behind all of the creative efforts and communications initiatives,
- 19:04Speaker 1: so they're still going to use her social media and everything.
- 19:08Speaker 1: And she said, this partnership will allow me and my
- 19:10Speaker 1: team to stay focused on the creation and development of
- 19:13Speaker 1: each product while building the brand into an international beauty powerhouse.

- 19:21Speaker 1: since we're talking about her, let's talk about Chloe Kardashian.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Looks like she's doing her own show with her daughter. True,
- 19:27Speaker 1: So she did tease the possibility of a new TV show,
- 19:30Speaker 1: but the way it's gonna air is not on television.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Looks like she's gonna do it online and it'll be
- 19:35Speaker 1: short five to seven minute videos, so it's not going
- 19:38Speaker 1: to be like full episodes like the Kardashians or like
- 19:40Speaker 1: her other spin offs have been. This will be just
- 19:43Speaker 1: her and her daughter taking the world together, So the
- 19:45Speaker 1: show will be primarily shot at her house. She is
- 19:48Speaker 1: still very young, and every now and then, I guess

- 19:54Speaker 1: and their adventures as mother and daughters. The platform, Alana
- 19:57Speaker 1: is that quy because Quibby is the new platform online

- 21:36Speaker 1: City Chiefs beat the charges last night, twenty four seventeen. Now,
- 21:39Speaker 1: what else are we talking about you, Well, let's talk
- 21:41Speaker 1: about a teacher in Maryland who was arrested after fighting
- 21:44Speaker 1: with the students. Now, this happened at Largo High School
- 21:47Speaker 1: in Upper Marlborough, Maryland. According to the police reports, they
- 21:52Speaker 1: said there was physical contact between the teacher and the
- 21:55Speaker 1: student before the assault. They said the students stepped on
- 21:57Speaker 1: the teacher's foot and bumped into her, and the teacher
- 22:00Speaker 1: then engaged in a physical assault of that student. They
- 22:03Speaker 1: said the nature of that assault was extraordinarily violent and
- 22:06Speaker 1: that conduct is criminal in nature. So right now the
- 22:10Speaker 1: teacher has been fired and it's being charged or facing
- 22:14Speaker 1: charges of physical child abuse and second degree assault. They said.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Detectives are also pursuing charges against the student in the
- 22:21Speaker 1: juvenile court system. The student was in Spanish class and
- 22:26Speaker 1: she told the detective she wanted to talk to the
- 22:28Speaker 1: teacher Nora. I'm trying to pronounce her name right, Nori,
- 22:32Speaker 1: about an email her mother received the night before the
- 22:34Speaker 1: student's behavior. The girl told place the teacher wouldn't speak
- 22:37Speaker 1: with her without a third party because the student was
- 22:39Speaker 1: being hostile. Let me talk to the students, Let me
- 22:42Speaker 1: talk to you outside, miss, and the students started following
- 22:44Speaker 1: her around the room trying to get her to talk.
- 22:46Speaker 1: She told her to sit down several times, but she
- 22:48Speaker 1: didn't because she wanted answers. And the girl said she
- 22:51Speaker 1: accidentally stepped on the teacher's foot while following her around
- 22:55Speaker 1: and bumped into her shoulder as she pushed past her
- 22:57Speaker 1: to leave the room, and that's when the teacher got
- 22:59Speaker 1: into raised struck her in the back of the head
- 23:01Speaker 1: several times with a closed fist snuckle, then kicked her,
- 23:04Speaker 1: threw her to the ground, and continued to punch her.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Oh man, why she didn't give it a head one
- 23:08Speaker 1: and fight a square up? Why she got to punch
- 23:10Speaker 1: you in the back of the head. So they said,
- 23:11Speaker 1: at least thirty students and eight administrators are part of
- 23:13Speaker 1: the investigation, and they actually did jump in to break
- 23:16Speaker 1: up the fight. Wow, come on, now, you can't. This
- 23:20Speaker 1: is crazy. I would have reputed the back of the
- 23:22Speaker 1: head three How old would they would be? A high
- 23:25Speaker 1: school student? So she's seventeen years old. I would have
- 23:29Speaker 1: respected it if data fast straight up, But she snucked
- 23:32Speaker 1: that young lady in the back of the head. You'll stop.
- 23:34Speaker 1: It should be sneaking those students in the back of
- 23:36Speaker 1: the head at all. You guys have kids in school.
- 23:39Speaker 1: You shouldn't be sneaking nobody. That's why I don't sneak people, man,
- 23:42Speaker 1: give them, give them the straight up, fair one. She
- 23:44Speaker 1: asked you to come outside. Miss She came here and
- 23:47Speaker 1: she said, miss, I need to talk to you. By
- 23:48Speaker 1: sending those emails to my mom, Okay, come here, let
- 23:51Speaker 1: me talk to you. Ain't want to talk, and then
- 23:52Speaker 1: you want sneaking from behind. She needs to be fired
- 23:54Speaker 1: for that. And problem as we've been seeing lately, a
- 23:57Speaker 1: lot of this going on in the schools with the
- 23:59Speaker 1: teachers fighting the students. Have you ever witnessed that in school?
- 24:02Speaker 1: I have never, but it's getting the point. You step
- 24:06Speaker 1: on teacher's foot, you burple teacher like a teachers a
- 24:08Speaker 1: person too. They just snapped, it's not right. Yeah, I
- 24:11Speaker 1: do what happens. That's so funny. I do remember in
- 24:13Speaker 1: fourth grade, and it's so weird how back then this
- 24:15Speaker 1: was normal. But we did have a teacher who used
- 24:17Speaker 1: to man handle students in the class, Like I remember
- 24:21Speaker 1: watching this woman man handle a couple of students in
- 24:23Speaker 1: fourth grade, like dragging them around the classroom. Yeah, you
- 24:26Speaker 1: cannot do that. Come on, I'm sure you was one
- 24:28Speaker 1: of them. No, she never put hands on me. She
- 24:31Speaker 1: didn't put I've seen her putting on a couple of
- 24:32Speaker 1: people though. Yeah, you don't want your kids to go
- 24:34Speaker 1: to school in an environment where the teachers are beating
- 24:36Speaker 1: up the students or it is born to please man,
- 24:38Speaker 1: tell your kids, watch they back because these teachers are
- 24:40Speaker 1: sneaking them in the back of their head. Now he
- 24:42Speaker 1: not even giving them straight up, they're not even giving
- 24:45Speaker 1: But I will say, even for teachers and for educators,
- 24:47Speaker 1: you shouldn't have to go to school and feel threatened
- 24:50Speaker 1: by the students. That's true. They have to figure out
- 24:52Speaker 1: what can happen. What are we supposed to do about this?
- 24:54Speaker 1: All right? And Donald Trump is strongly considering testifying at
- 24:58Speaker 1: the impeachment hearings. He actually made that suggestion while he
- 25:02Speaker 1: was tweeting because Nancy Pelosi challenged him to testify to her,
- 25:07Speaker 1: saying that he should come on and testify. I thought
- 25:10Speaker 1: that the whole point of impeachment proceedings. He's the one
- 25:13Speaker 1: on trial. Well, the hearing is right. Now, they're actually
- 25:17Speaker 1: talking to people who have witnessed things, who heard these conversations,
- 25:21Speaker 1: the whistle blowers, all of those people who are involved.
- 25:24Speaker 1: So he can come before the committee and talk if
- 25:27Speaker 1: he wants to, or he could do it in writing,
- 25:29Speaker 1: and he has every opportunity to present his case, and
- 25:33Speaker 1: he can't do that, so I guess he's considering it. Sure,
- 25:37Speaker 1: you're the one being impeached. Yes, I wonder if that'll
- 25:40Speaker 1: help him him talking. I don't know, all right. And
- 25:44Speaker 1: Burger King is being sued by vegans for the impossible burger,
- 25:48Speaker 1: and that's because they are actually making those burgers on
- 25:50Speaker 1: the same girl with the regular meet. So there's some
- 25:55Speaker 1: outraged vegans that have been complaining online and now there
- 25:58Speaker 1: is a lawsuit, they say the lawsuit. According to this lawsuit,
- 26:02Speaker 1: it says Burger King has no disclosures on its menu
- 26:04Speaker 1: that would notify a customer prior to the purchase of
- 26:07Speaker 1: the impossible burger impossible whopper that it was cooked in
- 26:10Speaker 1: a manner that would result and meat byproducts on the burgers.
- 26:13Speaker 1: So they want them to stop cooking impossible burgers and
- 26:16Speaker 1: the reginald burgers on the same girl. I don't know
- 26:18Speaker 1: anything about this because I don't eat that Burger King.
- 26:20Speaker 1: But from what I've gathered from our listeners, they do
- 26:23Speaker 1: have a disclosure up there. That's what I said, the
- 26:25Speaker 1: fine print. Yeah, it tells you to me. And I
- 26:27Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not either. I'm just
- 26:28Speaker 1: telling you what. Some of the listeners called up and said,
- 26:30Speaker 1: our our sources to Breakfast Club said that they do
- 26:36Speaker 1: have disclosures up there. I don't know if that's true enough,
- 26:38Speaker 1: they said, you have to ask, that's what they I
- 26:39Speaker 1: haven't been a Burger King in years, so and you know,
- 26:42Speaker 1: it's crazy. I thought about going because they have that
- 26:45Speaker 1: the impossible whoppers. All right, Yeah, Burger King ain't got
- 26:50Speaker 1: no draws for me. Like it's like when McDonald's. McDonald's
- 26:52Speaker 1: have the fries draw you gonna get them Hot fries
- 26:55Speaker 1: from McDonald isn't nothing Burger King. I got to have
- 26:59Speaker 1: the long long chicken sandwich. It's good. Though. You think
- 27:02Speaker 1: I would go to Burger King for a chicken sandwich,
- 27:04Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you're in the area, that's the
- 27:06Speaker 1: only thing you got. I won't even go to Popeyes
- 27:07Speaker 1: for a chicken sands it's perfectly good chick fil as
- 27:09Speaker 1: out here that aren't donating the anti LGBT community organizations anymore.
- 27:14Speaker 1: And I'm gonna get a chicken sands from Burger King.
- 27:15Speaker 1: You just like it because it's long. See now, now,
- 27:18Speaker 1: I was kinky man about the time today dot com
- 27:21Speaker 1: and when the when the Impossible Whippers first came out,
- 27:25Speaker 1: they did say that Burger King acknowledges the impossible patties
- 27:28Speaker 1: are flame grilled on the same broiler as it's chicken
- 27:31Speaker 1: and beef products. So they have said that before. See
- 27:35Speaker 1: there you go when you bite into that long chicken
- 27:37Speaker 1: sandwich to use both hands or you just use one hand.
- 27:41Speaker 1: All right, and that's your front page news. It's wrong
- 27:43Speaker 1: with you now when we come back, why you want
- 27:46Speaker 1: to you kinky over there, man, you're real kinky over there. Man.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Now you don't understand that this this is crazy, ridiculous, Okay,

- 28:29Speaker 1: I've done that. Y'all ain't see my movie. I feel
- 28:31Speaker 1: like the only black person in America who has not
- 28:33Speaker 1: seeing Queen and Slim. Yeah, I really do feel that way.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I'm married. No, y'all been invited to see it. Really
- 28:39Speaker 1: telling the black people of the nation. Yeah, thank you.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Look at the brother he feels bad here, like, don't

- 28:56Speaker 1: I had a screen in this weekend. She did tell
- 28:58Speaker 1: me to come to come through. But Queen and Slim
- 29:02Speaker 1: Queen Rave Reviews critically acclaimed the best movie of the year.
- 29:08Speaker 1: That's what I'm hearing. Y'all haven't seen amazing. Yeah, trailers, great,
- 29:13Speaker 1: great posters are everywhere. Yes, black love, Yes, Black people
- 29:17Speaker 1: Killing Cops was better than that. Yes, yes, yeah, you know,
- 29:21Speaker 1: I mean no, seriously, Like the energy has been crazy,
- 29:24Speaker 1: it's been phenomenal, and it's it's just been a it's
- 29:27Speaker 1: been a crazy year, as y'all know. Um, you know,
- 29:30Speaker 1: And I think to me, it's just sort of like,
- 29:31Speaker 1: you know, I think people who kind of got an
- 29:33Speaker 1: opportunity to watch me grow up in a weird way.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I think, to me, I'm just sort of evolving as
- 29:37Speaker 1: an artist and really trying to leave my mark and
- 29:40Speaker 1: plant my flag and really just do it for us.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Though you know, I said the other day, I was like,
- 29:45Speaker 1: I love black people unconditionally, and I think, um, a
- 29:48Speaker 1: lot of my work is gonna be to make sure
- 29:50Speaker 1: people remember that we were here for people that don't know.
- 29:52Speaker 1: What's the premises of Queen and Slim. Yeah, it's basically
- 29:55Speaker 1: a black man and a black woman are on a
- 29:57Speaker 1: first date attended date, yeah, and it's not going great,
- 30:00Speaker 1: but it's not going horribly either, And on the way home,
- 30:03Speaker 1: they get pulled over by a police officer and things
- 30:06Speaker 1: escalate pretty quickly and they ultimately end up killing the
- 30:09Speaker 1: police officer in self defense and they make the decision
- 30:12Speaker 1: to run. Um, and what happens is it's really about
- 30:16Speaker 1: it's really a meditation on blackness, and it's about about
- 30:19Speaker 1: how black people live in this world, always searching for freedom,
- 30:23Speaker 1: always trying to justify the space that we take up.
- 30:27Speaker 1: And uh, and it really it was a sort of
- 30:29Speaker 1: story that came from somewhere deep down in my soul.
- 30:32Speaker 1: And I'm really I really kind of put my my body,
- 30:35Speaker 1: my blood. I swept my tears onto the celluloid. Molina
- 30:37Speaker 1: Matsuka is directed the hell out of the movie. Daniel
- 30:40Speaker 1: Kaloya is phenomenal. We're introducing a new actress, Jody Turner Smith. Uh.
- 30:45Speaker 1: It really in the soundtrack is like you know crazy
- 30:47Speaker 1: that's available right now Spotify and iTunes. We got Lauren
- 30:50Speaker 1: Hill to come and do something new for us. So
- 30:52Speaker 1: it really is like the blackest movie that I think
- 30:56Speaker 1: it's gonna come out this year. It sounds like a
- 30:57Speaker 1: new like a new version of Bonnie and which I
- 31:00Speaker 1: like because one thing I always hate is when black
- 31:02Speaker 1: people always compare themselves the Bonnie and Clyde. All Right,
- 31:04Speaker 1: I mean, well that's the thing for us. Here's the thing.
- 31:06Speaker 1: When you see the movie, you'll see that that the
- 31:08Speaker 1: Bonnie and Clyde comparison is only skin deep. There not
- 31:11Speaker 1: people who kind of like say, oh, we're gonna take
- 31:12Speaker 1: on you know, we're gonna just come out here and
- 31:14Speaker 1: be criminals. They're really just two black folks living their lives. Now,
- 31:17Speaker 1: how hard is it to get a movie like this made?
- 31:18Speaker 1: Because when you go to the theater and you go
- 31:20Speaker 1: to the studio and you're like, look, black guy killing
- 31:23Speaker 1: a cop at a traffic stock, Like, well, here's the
- 31:27Speaker 1: interesting thing, and this is really I want to you know,
- 31:30Speaker 1: make sure this a narrative is clear. It was not
- 31:32Speaker 1: difficult to get the movie made. They came out for us.
- 31:35Speaker 1: I knew I wanted Malina to direct it because because
- 31:37Speaker 1: I was working on it while we were filming the
- 31:38Speaker 1: Things given episode and we had just bonded and like
- 31:41Speaker 1: vibed and just who she is and how her brain works,
- 31:44Speaker 1: and based on what I was writing, I was like, Malina,
- 31:46Speaker 1: Malina got to direct this. So when I even mentioned
- 31:48Speaker 1: the tour while we were filming, I was like, yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 1: I got this movie, man, I want you to direct it.
- 31:51Speaker 1: And she's like okay, okay, okay, we'll see. So sure
- 31:53Speaker 1: enough I finished the script and I ended up having
- 31:55Speaker 1: dinner with Daniel Cluya and um and I just finished
- 31:58Speaker 1: it and Daniel are what you're working? I was like, oh,
- 32:00Speaker 1: finish this movie about these two black people they kill
- 32:01Speaker 1: a cop, say less. It's like, I want to read it,
- 32:03Speaker 1: and so I was like okay, and just he just
- 32:05Speaker 1: wanted to read it for and giggles, and he did
- 32:07Speaker 1: and then he did emailed me and was like I
- 32:09Speaker 1: gotta be slim and I was like, oh, okay, well,
- 32:11Speaker 1: I'm very full added by that, I was like, but
- 32:13Speaker 1: Molina got to read it first, and then if she
- 32:16Speaker 1: decides to make this her first movie, she and I
- 32:18Speaker 1: have to decide who Quinn is them are gonna be together.
- 32:20Speaker 1: So if you don't mind, like way to be, let
- 32:22Speaker 1: her read it and then I'll have her come to you.
- 32:24Speaker 1: And that's what happened. She read it and was like, yeah, yeah,
- 32:26Speaker 1: this is my first film. I was like, okay. Then
- 32:28Speaker 1: Kaluia want to be slim and she was like, I
- 32:30Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't think Daniel Kluia is our slim.
- 32:33Speaker 1: And I was like, I know I did. I wouldn't
- 32:34Speaker 1: have thought of him either, I said, but just I
- 32:36Speaker 1: don't know. You should talk to him, all right, I'll
- 32:38Speaker 1: give him five minutes. So she goes and sits with
- 32:40Speaker 1: him for five minutes and then but it turns into
- 32:42Speaker 1: five hours. And then she offers him to roll at
- 32:44Speaker 1: the table. And then all these studios like lined up
- 32:46Speaker 1: and was like, what do we gotta do to get it?
- 32:48Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I want final cut, point
- 32:51Speaker 1: blame period. What does that mean for us people who
- 32:53Speaker 1: don't know final cut means we don't we get the
- 32:55Speaker 1: final say and what is on that screen? I get
- 32:57Speaker 1: to find saying what was on the page, and me
- 32:59Speaker 1: and Malina get say what was on the screen, which
- 33:01Speaker 1: is rare for first time filmmakers. I said, I want
- 33:04Speaker 1: to shoot it and release it in the same year
- 33:06Speaker 1: because it's urgent. I said, I want a fat budget
- 33:08Speaker 1: because I don't believe that black people should be sitting
- 33:10Speaker 1: in the the back of the bus when it comes to
- 33:11Speaker 1: cent them up. We should know these small budgets to
- 33:12Speaker 1: make big movies. And I said, I don't believe in
- 33:15Speaker 1: test screenings. And test screenings are what happens when they
- 33:18Speaker 1: showed the movie to a test audience and they say, oh,
- 33:20Speaker 1: I didn't get this or I didn't understand that I
- 33:22Speaker 1: was like one, I only will do one test screening.
- 33:23Speaker 1: It should be one hundred percent black audience. And what
- 33:26Speaker 1: they say, I shouldn't have to be beholden to put
- 33:28Speaker 1: it into the movie because sometimes we as a people
- 33:30Speaker 1: may not be ready for certain things and say, oh
- 33:32Speaker 1: I didn't like that or I didn't get this, Like
- 33:34Speaker 1: let me give you something you may not know you
- 33:36Speaker 1: need yet. So and Donna Langley was like, you got
- 33:39Speaker 1: all that if it means you'll give us the movie.
- 33:40Speaker 1: That's how they were like, we what can we do?
- 33:43Speaker 1: They were sending us gifts, they were like writing us notes.
- 33:45Speaker 1: They were calling me on my cell phone. HEAs a
- 33:47Speaker 1: studios and I was like, yo, Molina, these white people
- 33:50Speaker 1: want this movie. So I was like, let's let's make
- 33:52Speaker 1: our demands. Let's come up with our list and that
- 33:54Speaker 1: was our list and Universal make ready. They were all
- 33:57Speaker 1: like boom and also said I won't take a note
- 33:58Speaker 1: from a white person on this word. Was the inspiration
- 34:02Speaker 1: something that you were involved with the police getting pulled
- 34:04Speaker 1: over or was just everything that's going It could have
- 34:08Speaker 1: been something that she dealt with when she got pulled over.
- 34:10Speaker 1: And the funny thing is I haven't been in a
- 34:12Speaker 1: scenario and the one that was Queen and Slim are
- 34:14Speaker 1: in Like, you know, I've been pulled over before, but
- 34:17Speaker 1: but no, it was really this um this this author
- 34:19Speaker 1: James Fry, He's just you know, he's a guy who
- 34:21Speaker 1: comes up with ideas and stuff. He came up to
- 34:23Speaker 1: me at a party and was like, yo, I have
- 34:24Speaker 1: an idea for a movie that I can't write at
- 34:27Speaker 1: a different title, he had a different outline. I said,
- 34:28Speaker 1: I don't want none of that. I said, I want
- 34:30Speaker 1: that seed of an idea and I want to build
- 34:32Speaker 1: the tree. So I was like, but I was you know,
- 34:34Speaker 1: I'm a fair person. So I was like, I would
- 34:35Speaker 1: share a story about credit with you. I was like,
- 34:36Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take it and go write this thing.
- 34:38Speaker 1: He was like, all right, cool, we have at it.
- 34:40Speaker 1: And so I went and really started developing Quinn and
- 34:42Speaker 1: Slim and and my biggest north stars were she would
- 34:45Speaker 1: be Malcolm X and he would be Martin Luther king
- 34:47Speaker 1: about in the movie they swap place. A lot of
- 34:49Speaker 1: people like to say Lena Wave doesn't write. Why do
- 34:52Speaker 1: they say that I have no idea? I think it's
- 34:54Speaker 1: interesting because people see me a lot. They see me
- 34:58Speaker 1: as an actor. They see me as a producer, and
- 35:00Speaker 1: I think it may be difficult for folks to think, like, oh,
- 35:03Speaker 1: she's also writing scripts and she's doing that thing. But
- 35:05Speaker 1: that's really who I am. Before like the acting gigs became,
- 35:09Speaker 1: you know, a part of my life, I was gonna
- 35:11Speaker 1: see myself a writer first. Do you like to stardom?
- 35:14Speaker 1: Meaning do you like being a star? Because it's like, yo,
- 35:18Speaker 1: when you see Leny like Leana got the aesthetics of
- 35:20Speaker 1: a star. But do you like that role? Not always?
- 35:24Speaker 1: You know, it's tough, you know when things happen on
- 35:26Speaker 1: your shows and you gotta you know, call you and
- 35:28Speaker 1: have those conversations. You know, it's there is a pressure
- 35:32Speaker 1: that comes with that because there's a thing about you know,
- 35:34Speaker 1: I believe in this world we like to have God's immortals,
- 35:38Speaker 1: and I just feel like that can be a little
- 35:42Speaker 1: dangerous because when you look at someone who is flush
- 35:45Speaker 1: and bone just like you, but yet you expect them
- 35:48Speaker 1: to act like a god. If things can get tricky,
- 35:50Speaker 1: and I think you guys, how many times if somebody
- 35:52Speaker 1: come and sat in this chair and they're like, Okay,
- 35:54Speaker 1: this thing happened or I messed up here? The truth
- 35:56Speaker 1: is We're all human beings trying to figure it out.
- 35:59Speaker 1: None of us are perfect, and I think that's the
- 36:01Speaker 1: thing that connects us actually is our humanity. Um. But
- 36:04Speaker 1: the reason the part of the stardom I do like
- 36:07Speaker 1: is the fact that I get to shed light on
- 36:09Speaker 1: so many artists who I think are amazing, who people
- 36:12Speaker 1: may not otherwise care to look at her. Pay attention
- 36:14Speaker 1: to all. We got more with lenaways when we come back,
- 36:17Speaker 1: don't move. It's the breakfast club cood morning. Oh lord,

- 38:59Speaker 1: Envy and Julie. Charlomagne, the guy we all the breakfast
- 39:02Speaker 1: club was still kicking it with Lena. Wait, now, you
- 39:04Speaker 1: mentioned being a store and you said you had to
- 39:06Speaker 1: call up here and straighten some things out. Let's let's
- 39:09Speaker 1: break that down. So you call Charlemagne one time. I
- 39:11Speaker 1: know what we were going at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:14Speaker 1: That was when Jason Mitchell was released from the shot
- 39:16Speaker 1: and you called up to explain what was going on? Right,
- 39:18Speaker 1: And I know people were like, oh, Lena, what's talking
- 39:20Speaker 1: to the circle? She was saying a lot. But a
- 39:21Speaker 1: big reason why is because here's the deal. I wasn't there,
- 39:25Speaker 1: and I hear from you know, different people, you know
- 39:28Speaker 1: about their side of the story, and everybody's side is different.
- 39:31Speaker 1: So to me, I didn't feel like it was right
- 39:34Speaker 1: to try to speak for someone or try to say, well,
- 39:37Speaker 1: this is this is what happened, because for where I'm sitting,
- 39:39Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't there when it went down. So
- 39:42Speaker 1: all I can say it's like, look, here's what I
- 39:45Speaker 1: can do to ensure that I don't have that happen again.
- 39:48Speaker 1: And that's what I asked people. It's like, look, hold
- 39:50Speaker 1: me accountable. And we have a thing now. We have
- 39:52Speaker 1: intimacy coordinators on every single set of a show that
- 39:54Speaker 1: I'm either written or I'm an EP on, which means
- 39:57Speaker 1: they're there there's there any sensitive scenes, any sort of
- 40:00Speaker 1: intimate scenes. They're there to be the liaison for us
- 40:03Speaker 1: and actors, so that way the actors always feel completely
- 40:05Speaker 1: safe and comfortable. And the big thing I've done with
- 40:07Speaker 1: every single actor and I have a lot of projects
- 40:10Speaker 1: I'm involved in. UM I always thought say everybody has
- 40:12Speaker 1: my number, like my door is always open. Never feel
- 40:15Speaker 1: like you can't come talk to me. So for me,
- 40:16Speaker 1: I feel like I've grown so much from it and
- 40:18Speaker 1: I've evolved so much because of it that to me,
- 40:20Speaker 1: it's like I'm supposed to take hits. It's yeah, you're
- 40:25Speaker 1: supposed to. You you have to. But I think, to me,
- 40:27Speaker 1: it makes me stronger, it makes me more educated, Like
- 40:29Speaker 1: I've educated myself so much about what it means to
- 40:31Speaker 1: have a safe set. And the cool thing is, because
- 40:33Speaker 1: I've gone through that, I've been able to talk to
- 40:35Speaker 1: a lazing times up and have conversations with folks about
- 40:37Speaker 1: how to make sure their sets can be even safer.
- 40:39Speaker 1: So for me, it really was a thing that opened
- 40:42Speaker 1: up my eyes and it was a lesson that I
- 40:44Speaker 1: welcome with open arms. Did you get a chance to
- 40:46Speaker 1: watch Jason Mitchell on the Breakfast? Come? Yeah, I did?
- 40:48Speaker 1: I did. What did you think? Yeah? I mean I thought,
- 40:50Speaker 1: to me, it seems as if he's really trying to
- 40:53Speaker 1: work on himself. And he seemed to acknowledge, you know,
- 40:57Speaker 1: some things, uh, some things I didn't know about things
- 41:01Speaker 1: so he talked about so yeah, And also I always
- 41:04Speaker 1: wanted him to speak because again I'm not him. I
- 41:08Speaker 1: wasn't there and I wanted to hear too, you know,
- 41:11Speaker 1: because I didn't hear I, Like he said, he don't
- 41:13Speaker 1: have really got a chance to chat. So he still
- 41:14Speaker 1: doesn't really understand why. I don't think he was let
- 41:17Speaker 1: go from the shy or desperado, right, I don't think
- 41:19Speaker 1: he understand me held himself accountable, he said, he does
- 41:22Speaker 1: not show exactly the reason what it is he did. Yeah, desperado,
- 41:26Speaker 1: I really can't speak to um you know. And and
- 41:28Speaker 1: but even the shy thing is what I try to
- 41:30Speaker 1: tell people. It's like, I don't own the shy. When
- 41:33Speaker 1: you create a TV show and you in something you
- 41:36Speaker 1: you celebrate about a network saying he ever were gonna
- 41:39Speaker 1: make it. But what's happening is they when you're selling
- 41:42Speaker 1: a thing that you created to someone else so they
- 41:44Speaker 1: can distribute it. So I now lose ownership. So if
- 41:47Speaker 1: they say that's why remind people they have the power
- 41:50Speaker 1: to fire me because technically I'm an employee of that
- 41:53Speaker 1: studio now. Um. And so they told me, hey, you know,
- 41:57Speaker 1: this is what's going on. And I was like, okay,
- 41:58Speaker 1: Like let's make sure that no one on our set
- 42:01Speaker 1: feels like unsafe or uncomfortable. Um. But but that was
- 42:04Speaker 1: a decision that the studio made. Like it wasn't like
- 42:07Speaker 1: Showtime said, oh we're about to do this. It's like no,
- 42:10Speaker 1: the studio is pays for everything. They own it and
- 42:12Speaker 1: they licensed them show out to showtime. So there's a
- 42:15Speaker 1: whole line of you know, of people in charge, and
- 42:19Speaker 1: I'm at the bottom of the list. Not to the
- 42:21Speaker 1: general public, though lean Away fears the shot exactly. Look,
- 42:24Speaker 1: I get it. I created it. I wrote that pilot.
- 42:26Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm much more involved season three.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Um Like, I think this season is gonna be I
- 42:31Speaker 1: think one of our strongest and most ground and most
- 42:34Speaker 1: human seasons because I've actually gotten a chance to be
- 42:36Speaker 1: involved in the day to day and like, um like,
- 42:39Speaker 1: I did a pass on every script this season. Um,
- 42:41Speaker 1: I may pop up in there everything, so just be
- 42:43Speaker 1: on the lookout. But um, it's it's because the way
- 42:45Speaker 1: I write is that I don't judge characters, um and so,
- 42:48Speaker 1: and I feel like I feel like that that's what's
- 42:50Speaker 1: going on. This season's less judgment. Obviously, there's gonna be
- 42:52Speaker 1: some changes. It's like, yeah, it's like, you're not gonna
- 42:54Speaker 1: have Brandon, You're not gonna have Jericha. But what happens
- 42:56Speaker 1: is we illuminate some of these other characters and we
- 42:58Speaker 1: have some new faces like La La can't he pops up?
- 43:00Speaker 1: Luke James has a wonderful role. So we really Little
- 43:03Speaker 1: Real Cut popped up and ran up on us. And
- 43:05Speaker 1: so it's just it's really a special season. And it's
- 43:09Speaker 1: a season where, you know, we had some some struggles
- 43:11Speaker 1: in terms of what the show would be and and
- 43:13Speaker 1: I really kind of had to rise up and put
- 43:15Speaker 1: the show on my back. And and I hope people
- 43:17Speaker 1: tune in, and I hope they really rock with us,
- 43:19Speaker 1: because the show is always bigger than one character or
- 43:22Speaker 1: one person. There's a lot of Papa this season, to
- 43:24Speaker 1: which I think people are gonna be happy about a
- 43:26Speaker 1: lot of what Papa Papa. Oh yeah, the kids, and
- 43:31Speaker 1: the kids are growing up. Man, they like fourteen fifteen,
- 43:33Speaker 1: and we're not shying away from that. They're vaporing, they're
- 43:35Speaker 1: talking about having sex. It's like it's real. You you
- 43:38Speaker 1: said you wouldn't work with Jason anymore, but time has passed.
- 43:41Speaker 1: You saw him holding himself accountable to that change your perspective.
- 43:45Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I can speak to it yet.
- 43:46Speaker 1: You know, I think we kind of have to let
- 43:49Speaker 1: maybe some more time pass. And why did you say
- 43:51Speaker 1: you wouldn't work with because people don't know that so eager? Well, well, no,
- 43:55Speaker 1: I mean I think look, I'll be honest, it was
- 43:56Speaker 1: a question I wasn't expecting, you know, but I think
- 43:59Speaker 1: that yeah, yeah, exactly, But Charlotte, but it was a
- 44:01Speaker 1: fair question to ask. And I think, to me, it's like,
- 44:05Speaker 1: if I'm talking to you about making sure that this
- 44:09Speaker 1: won't happen again, or making sure the people know that
- 44:12Speaker 1: I'm for the people, and I'm for a black woman,
- 44:14Speaker 1: like I'm a person who was all about, you know,
- 44:17Speaker 1: supporting us and making sure we were good and we
- 44:19Speaker 1: feel safe. I couldn't then have a whole conversation with
- 44:23Speaker 1: you and then still be like, oh, yeah, but if
- 44:25Speaker 1: he ever wanted to sell you know, we all good.
- 44:27Speaker 1: To me, it's also about sometimes you gotta change your behavior. Yeah,
- 44:31Speaker 1: you have to change your behavior, Betogi. Yeah and so,
- 44:35Speaker 1: and that to me was what I felt like I
- 44:37Speaker 1: needed to do. And I can't align myself with someone
- 44:41Speaker 1: who is like, you know, if they're saying this is happening,
- 44:44Speaker 1: this happened, this happened again over here. At some point
- 44:47Speaker 1: I have to kind of go, okay, let me do
- 44:48Speaker 1: my thing over here and make sure my shot together. Yeah,
- 44:51Speaker 1: because I found the interesting that nobody said anything in
- 44:54Speaker 1: reply to Jason after the brother you know, what I'm saying.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Even the network was like, no comment the young women
- 44:59Speaker 1: can that was a lie. I just I was like hmm,
- 45:02Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm I'm I'm a person out there too,
- 45:04Speaker 1: you know. And again, but that's why it puts me
- 45:06Speaker 1: in this tough spot because I'm not there I even know.
- 45:08Speaker 1: It's like I you know, it's like it's almost like
- 45:10Speaker 1: I own a lot of companies, you know what I'm saying,
- 45:12Speaker 1: and I can't be at one company every single day.
- 45:15Speaker 1: But again, that's why I made it very clear about
- 45:17Speaker 1: the people that work with me and for me that
- 45:20Speaker 1: they understand the man day it's like that will not
- 45:22Speaker 1: be tolerated. That The thing with the whole situation, we
- 45:24Speaker 1: talk about what he's done, but nobody knew what he's
- 45:27Speaker 1: done like we assumed it with sexually, I can't even
- 45:29Speaker 1: really speak to it. I can't even speak to it
- 45:31Speaker 1: and being aggressive like nobody has ever said, well he's
- 45:33Speaker 1: done this. You know. That's why people are all confused. Yeah, no,
- 45:35Speaker 1: I get it, and I get the people are frustrated,
- 45:37Speaker 1: and it's like, look, I'm frustrated. I've been trying to
- 45:39Speaker 1: get straight answer, just like what happened? What you know,
- 45:41Speaker 1: but but even to me, like I can't, I'm getting
- 45:44Speaker 1: different versions from different people because again, everybody has their
- 45:47Speaker 1: own version of the truth. And so that's why I
- 45:49Speaker 1: wasn't gonna come up here and say, well, this is
- 45:51Speaker 1: exactly what happened one because I don't have a right
- 45:53Speaker 1: to do that because I wasn't on set and I
- 45:54Speaker 1: wasn't there. Um, And I also have to believe, you know,
- 45:57Speaker 1: I have to believe women. I have to. And so
- 45:59Speaker 1: therefore we made a change, a big change on our show.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Um you know. I know some people were like, oh
- 46:04Speaker 1: you wait until this thing happened over here. It was like,
- 46:07Speaker 1: look like I didn't even know about that thing, you know,
- 46:10Speaker 1: or whatever happened on the Netflix movie. So at the
- 46:12Speaker 1: end of the day, I have to all I'm tasked
- 46:15Speaker 1: with is okay. So now this is how we how
- 46:18Speaker 1: do we make the show great? How do we like?
- 46:19Speaker 1: I gotta because that's the thing, people understand. I gotta.
- 46:21Speaker 1: I have to go, right, I gotta go produce this
- 46:23Speaker 1: TV show, you know. So I know people want me to,
- 46:26Speaker 1: you know, talk about this or spill that t It's
- 46:29Speaker 1: like I don't have time. All right. We got more
- 46:31Speaker 1: with Lena Waite when we come back, don't move. It's
- 46:33Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy
- 46:37Speaker 1: and Jula Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast
- 46:40Speaker 1: Club were still kicking it with Lena Waits. Charlomagne Jason
- 46:42Speaker 1: said it himself. He said, Lena, Lena should not have
- 46:44Speaker 1: received backlash because of my actions. Did you feel like
- 46:47Speaker 1: the backlash was well, I mean, look, I'll be honest.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I think black folks you know, with me and they
- 46:53Speaker 1: support me. I mean because somebody could look at you
- 46:55Speaker 1: know where I'm sitting right now, and you know, I
- 46:57Speaker 1: feel like I really got the support in the for
- 47:00Speaker 1: my people. And a lot of people actually come up
- 47:01Speaker 1: to me and said, you know, on the interview, they
- 47:03Speaker 1: appreciated the fact that I said, look, I'll take the hit.
- 47:05Speaker 1: You know, I can't enjoy the fruits of the laborer
- 47:08Speaker 1: and not deal with you know when it happens, you know,
- 47:11Speaker 1: so um so a lot of people you know really
- 47:13Speaker 1: said they were like, thank you for breaking down the
- 47:15Speaker 1: roles of power and who's in charge and who's in
- 47:18Speaker 1: charge of what? Um and also you saying, hey, I
- 47:21Speaker 1: wish I would have handled it differently. That was my
- 47:23Speaker 1: thing because I think and also an owning up to
- 47:25Speaker 1: like me, uh, there was a place where I could
- 47:28Speaker 1: have handled it better, you know, and and I but
- 47:30Speaker 1: here's the deal. I think everyone in their lives has
- 47:32Speaker 1: had an incidence and where they could have said, well,
- 47:34Speaker 1: I could have I could have dealt with that better.
- 47:36Speaker 1: So that's my things for my people who may be like, oh, Lena,
- 47:40Speaker 1: I was like all I asked them, It's like, Yo,
- 47:42Speaker 1: have you been in a situation where you could have
- 47:43Speaker 1: handled it better? And if you if you say yeah,
- 47:45Speaker 1: I just say, like, then just rock with me, and
- 47:47Speaker 1: just know that I'm growing up in front of you.
- 47:48Speaker 1: You know, I'm learning as I go. Like I was.
- 47:50Speaker 1: I saw that show and I was like thirty two.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I was the first time show creator. I was like
- 47:53Speaker 1: a baby, and I didn't have a real, like any
- 47:56Speaker 1: power really, you know. So I was in there trying
- 47:58Speaker 1: to like trying to understand and learn. And then course
- 48:00Speaker 1: over the course of the show, my profile kind of
- 48:02Speaker 1: got a little bigger and I was doing other things.
- 48:05Speaker 1: And now that's why I have that power to say, Yo,
- 48:07Speaker 1: this will never happen on any of my sets ever again.
- 48:09Speaker 1: If anyone ever allows it to happen. Hezzle roll, gotcha.
- 48:11Speaker 1: It's very hard just to grow right because especially with
- 48:14Speaker 1: social media, because every little thing, yeah, you're from people,
- 48:17Speaker 1: you're like watching me, you know, it's like you know,
- 48:20Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying, and the thing is for me, why
- 48:22Speaker 1: if it could be hurtful at all? It is because
- 48:24Speaker 1: all I want is for black people to be successful
- 48:28Speaker 1: and great, and when like we are old that I
- 48:31Speaker 1: would never ever stand by and allow, you know, especially
- 48:35Speaker 1: any woman, particularly a black woman, be you know, be
- 48:38Speaker 1: hurt or abusing me not do anything. But your situation
- 48:41Speaker 1: is one of those situations that made me say, good man.
- 48:43Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is, I'm like, if
- 48:44Speaker 1: y'all canceling, Lena, waif tho none of us standing, I'll say,
- 48:48Speaker 1: like leaven black people backing out and say nobody would
- 48:50Speaker 1: going on some cancel. I will say that I didn't
- 48:53Speaker 1: see that. I think people just sort of like, what wait, Lena?
- 48:56Speaker 1: What was? It was more like, Lena, what's going on?
- 48:58Speaker 1: What happened there? No one really was all that. I
- 49:00Speaker 1: gotta give the people cred because I know folks would
- 49:02Speaker 1: be like a hold up, we weren't saying that, um.
- 49:04Speaker 1: But because seriously, because I felt so much love on
- 49:06Speaker 1: the Queen. When we introduced the Queen and Slam like
- 49:08Speaker 1: teaser on the BT Awards, everybody was like everybody was
- 49:11Speaker 1: so excited. So I think folks know they have they
- 49:14Speaker 1: have a bit of a sense of who I am
- 49:16Speaker 1: and um and I think too. It's like, like I said,
- 49:18Speaker 1: to pop up again and again. If it becomes a pattern,
- 49:20Speaker 1: please cancel my black ass. But if you see that
- 49:23Speaker 1: I made a change and I've grown, I've learned from
- 49:26Speaker 1: that experience, then to me, I feel like you can
- 49:27Speaker 1: see yourself in me because everyone has like stumbled or
- 49:30Speaker 1: not done something the right way and then come back
- 49:32Speaker 1: and have been really stronger for it. Absolutely, cong congrats
- 49:35Speaker 1: on the wedding to be like, y'all, okay, congrats. That's married.
- 49:42Speaker 1: So far, it's so far, so good. We're a few
- 49:44Speaker 1: months in so no exactly exactly, No, it's it's you
- 49:49Speaker 1: know what, it's very freeing. That's what marriage feels like
- 49:51Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people, when you think
- 49:53Speaker 1: about it, you feel like, okay, you're walking into a
- 49:55Speaker 1: somebody closing the door. To me, it's like the rain
- 49:57Speaker 1: gave me wings. It was like, oh, there's nothing I
- 50:01Speaker 1: can't do or accomplish because I have someone that's gonna
- 50:04Speaker 1: have my back for the rest of the Ring gives
- 50:07Speaker 1: me wings. I'm gonna use that at some point. I
- 50:09Speaker 1: love being mad new baby. Just Ring gives me wings.
- 50:12Speaker 1: Go ahead, Like you know what I'm talking about. Absolutely,
- 50:15Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you have a partner, you know,
- 50:17Speaker 1: and and and also too, you're talking about cancel culture.
- 50:19Speaker 1: It's the way that the world did cancel me. Everything
- 50:21Speaker 1: went away. Was like, I'm never gonna cancel you. You
- 50:23Speaker 1: got that, right, you know what I mean? And and
- 50:25Speaker 1: you just I just feel like, you know, please, like
- 50:28Speaker 1: we like we were good, well made you want to
- 50:31Speaker 1: do it right now a few months ago whatever you did?
- 50:32Speaker 1: What we're going well, No, I mean we've been together
- 50:34Speaker 1: for over five years now, so we and we as
- 50:36Speaker 1: the thing. We've been engaged for like two years. It
- 50:38Speaker 1: was just it was just sort of time and my
- 50:40Speaker 1: life got a little bit busier, you know. And her
- 50:42Speaker 1: life is busy. She runs Michael Jordan's production company UM
- 50:46Speaker 1: out Wide Productions, So she's in Germany right now that
- 50:48Speaker 1: they're they're out there filming a movie. So we both
- 50:51Speaker 1: have sort of been in our bag and working and
- 50:53Speaker 1: grinding and uh so, but we we also want to
- 50:55Speaker 1: just keep it small and intimate. Uh And but it
- 50:58Speaker 1: was literally she and I and our awesome photographer. Was
- 51:00Speaker 1: that was that ever a dream for you growing up?
- 51:02Speaker 1: Because it wasn't even legally possible for you? You know
- 51:04Speaker 1: what I mean? All Right, it's funny, it's it's it's
- 51:06Speaker 1: not a thing I necessarily thought about every single day
- 51:08Speaker 1: or all the time. But yeah, but once I fell
- 51:10Speaker 1: in love with her in that way, I was like, oh, yeah,
- 51:13Speaker 1: I want to get married. I want to be married too.
- 51:15Speaker 1: And but we always felt like we were married too.
- 51:18Speaker 1: It always felt like that we like we moved in
- 51:20Speaker 1: pretty quickly and like we just caught a vibe and
- 51:22Speaker 1: and I just wanted to make an official I want
- 51:24Speaker 1: to I want to put a ring on it, you
- 51:25Speaker 1: know what I mean? How did you meet? We met
- 51:27Speaker 1: in a general meeting, uh in Los Angeles. Funny we're
- 51:30Speaker 1: both from Chicago, funny enough and born in the same month,
- 51:33Speaker 1: same year. Um and yeah, it's crazy, but we just did.
- 51:36Speaker 1: We never crossed paths there, but we just met a
- 51:38Speaker 1: general meeting and there was no no, nothing going on
- 51:40Speaker 1: there at that point. I was very professional, and we
- 51:43Speaker 1: just kept bumping into each other and all that kind
- 51:45Speaker 1: of stuff. And then one day we just, uh like
- 51:47Speaker 1: we want to have drinks and uh and we just
- 51:50Speaker 1: something just clicked. It was it was different, and we've
- 51:52Speaker 1: been hanging out, we went together ever since. Yoh, yeah,
- 51:55Speaker 1: I'm very decisive. I was like, yep, this is it
- 52:00Speaker 1: and not a nothing to the world. Immediately, Yeah, I
- 52:02Speaker 1: think because we wanted to have something to ourselves a
- 52:05Speaker 1: little bit. It's that thing you talk about, you know,
- 52:06Speaker 1: and I do. I share my wife, you know, and
- 52:08Speaker 1: I'm very you know, interactive with folks, and I love people.
- 52:11Speaker 1: I love talking to folks. I love interacting with people.
- 52:13Speaker 1: I think it makes me a better artist. And people
- 52:15Speaker 1: will tell you I'll respond to d ms and Twitter
- 52:17Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, and people always asking
- 52:19Speaker 1: for advice for how to be writers. But that one
- 52:22Speaker 1: we really want to enjoy being married just to ourselves
- 52:25Speaker 1: for a little bit. Um And then you know, and
- 52:27Speaker 1: then when opportunity to camp, I think it was on Llen,
- 52:29Speaker 1: I was like, all right, you know. And also people
- 52:30Speaker 1: they see the ring I refer to her as my
- 52:32Speaker 1: wife now and turn interviews, So we didn't mind saying something,
- 52:35Speaker 1: but it really, uh, we just kind of want to
- 52:38Speaker 1: hask on to ourselves for a little bit, that's all,
- 52:39Speaker 1: you know, how that go? Absolutely? Yeah, well I can't
- 52:41Speaker 1: wait to see Queen see you know what. You should
- 52:45Speaker 1: buy the theater. You got the money, you know you
- 52:47Speaker 1: know what, Charlomagne, you and I should buy theater. Show
- 52:50Speaker 1: that all the time. Ilcome Ryan, already I plan to
- 52:56Speaker 1: do that anyway, Okay, I'm gonna do that. Yeah, I
- 52:59Speaker 1: do that all the time for black movies, black when
- 53:00Speaker 1: it's black, Yeah, it's black creatives. I do it all
- 53:04Speaker 1: the time. You come on, man, Queen eleven twenty seven
- 53:08Speaker 1: and again. My thing is if this movie does numbers,
- 53:11Speaker 1: it'll change things for us, because then it's not just
- 53:13Speaker 1: about getting black movies made, but it's about getting black
- 53:16Speaker 1: movies with final cut, raw black movies, Black movies that
- 53:20Speaker 1: that are presented in our native tongue. That's thinking about
- 53:22Speaker 1: this movie. It's like there's no code switching, there's no explaining.
- 53:25Speaker 1: It's like when white folks come see this movie, they're
- 53:26Speaker 1: gonna get a real sense of what it's like to
- 53:27Speaker 1: see the world through the black lensed set. That up
- 53:29Speaker 1: set the please the theater up. All right. He's like, huh,
- 53:37Speaker 1: all right, I appreciate y'all. Free popcorn on me, free
- 53:39Speaker 1: drinks on Envy. There you go. Yeah, not alcoholic drink
- 53:44Speaker 1: sp doctor Pepper. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. It's
- 53:48Speaker 1: lead away. Hey, Hey morning everybody. It's DJ mv Angela. Yee,
- 53:54Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
- 53:57Speaker 1: What's happening. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talking. Listen,
- 54:01Speaker 1: this is the Loble Report with well Lizzo is being sued. Now,
- 54:12Speaker 1: you guys remember that postmate situation that happened where she
- 54:15Speaker 1: ordered some food from Luke's lobster and she never got
- 54:18Speaker 1: her food. And then she went on social media and
- 54:20Speaker 1: she said, hey at Postmates, this girl Tiffany w stole
- 54:23Speaker 1: my food. She lucky, I don't fight no more. And
- 54:25Speaker 1: then she posted a picture of Tiffany. Well, people in
- 54:29Speaker 1: her comments were like, Jesus, the poor girl is going
- 54:31Speaker 1: to get fired and then hunted down. Come on, Lizzo.
- 54:33Speaker 1: So she did take it down and Postmates did ask
- 54:36Speaker 1: her to message them directly. So according to the woman Tiffany,
- 54:40Speaker 1: she says the issue was that she did what she
- 54:42Speaker 1: was supposed to do. She waited for five minutes, couldn't
- 54:45Speaker 1: get in touch with Lizzo after she arrived at the location,
- 54:48Speaker 1: and she even walked around the hotel where she was staying,
- 54:51Speaker 1: asked employees about a guest named Bonnie Vie because she
- 54:53Speaker 1: used a code name, and she was told there was
- 54:56Speaker 1: no one by that name staying at the hotel. So
- 54:58Speaker 1: that's when she left. So now she's suing. She's saying
- 55:00Speaker 1: that she lost her job. It's libel, false invasion of privacy,
- 55:05Speaker 1: and causing emotional distress because people on social media were
- 55:08Speaker 1: threatening her life. After that, she went to damages related
- 55:11Speaker 1: to the incident, as well as legal fees and any
- 55:14Speaker 1: other legal and equitable relief as the court deems just
- 55:17Speaker 1: and proper. You know, I don't know who's right or
- 55:19Speaker 1: wrong in this situation, but I do know this would
- 55:21Speaker 1: not be happening to Lizzo if she wasn't Lizzo. Okay,
- 55:24Speaker 1: Lizzo just learned a valuable lesson. When you, you know,
- 55:26Speaker 1: achieve a certain amount of status, a certain amount of
- 55:28Speaker 1: fam you can't just be calling people when you want to.
- 55:31Speaker 1: That's just what it is, all right now, Gabrielle Union
- 55:34Speaker 1: didn't exclusive with Baller Alert, and she talks about her
- 55:36Speaker 1: parenting styles and it's a very judgmental world out there.
- 55:40Speaker 1: And this is all in response to Ti discussing his
- 55:43Speaker 1: eighteen year old or to Deja. Also Alicia Keys opening
- 55:46Speaker 1: up about parenting with her four year old son who
- 55:49Speaker 1: wanted the rainbow nail polish. Well, now, Gabrielle Union's talking
- 55:52Speaker 1: about parenting. She has her firstborn that she had more
- 55:55Speaker 1: than a year ago, and she also helps to raise
- 55:57Speaker 1: her stepsons that she has with her husband Dwayne Wade.
- 56:00Speaker 1: And she said, just because you grew up one way
- 56:01Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to repeat everything you were taught.
- 56:04Speaker 1: She said, it's okay to acknowledge that perhaps there's a better,
- 56:07Speaker 1: more loving, more compassionate way of raising kids than in
- 56:09Speaker 1: previous generations. It's okay to lead with love. It's okay
- 56:12Speaker 1: if your children aren't exactly like you. It's okay to
- 56:15Speaker 1: nurture your child's interests, even if those things don't interest you.
- 56:19Speaker 1: It's okay to evolve your thinking. It's okay to not
- 56:22Speaker 1: live in fear or judgment. There are no perfect parents
- 56:25Speaker 1: or perfect children. To just breathe and do your best
- 56:28Speaker 1: and lead with love and acceptance. You're absolutely right, that's
- 56:31Speaker 1: how you think. She said was right. That's how you
- 56:32Speaker 1: bring generational curses and create generational blessings, simple as that.
- 56:36Speaker 1: Like people were even criticizing her for going to Miami
- 56:40Speaker 1: Pride and support of Zion their son together, just because
- 56:46Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why they care. They're
- 56:47Speaker 1: supporting Zion, her stepson. You support your child in whatever
- 56:52Speaker 1: it is that they're doing. That's what she's saying. Yeah,
- 56:54Speaker 1: just support that. If he's young and he's you know, gay,
- 56:57Speaker 1: and he wants to go to the proper y, yes,
- 56:59Speaker 1: it's me to come out and support all right. Judge
- 57:02Speaker 1: Joe Brown has some issues. He was talking to Umar
- 57:05Speaker 1: Johnson and they were on Valerie Denise Jones's show, and
- 57:09Speaker 1: they were talking about Harriet Tubman and putting her on
- 57:11Speaker 1: the twenty dollar bill. Judge Joe Brown apparently has a
- 57:14Speaker 1: problem with feminists out Harry's damn about feminists. They can
- 57:19Speaker 1: go straight to hell. And I know they hate themselves
- 57:22Speaker 1: because they got two X chromosomes instead of an X y.
- 57:25Speaker 1: They're self hating and they're sick. These feminists are trying
- 57:31Speaker 1: to do this movie so they can get a black
- 57:34Speaker 1: woman put on a twenty dollars bill. They can't get
- 57:36Speaker 1: a white woman, so they want a black woman. They
- 57:38Speaker 1: don't care, they just want a woman, and it downs masculated.
- 57:42Speaker 1: We've got Ben Franklin, so we can have Fredrick Dougler.
- 57:46Speaker 1: Sounds like he bumped his head or something. I don't
- 57:48Speaker 1: know what he's talking about, but he was talking about
- 57:49Speaker 1: the Harriet Tubman movie. And then in addition to that,
- 57:52Speaker 1: he talks some more about feminists and this twenty dollar bill. Okay,
- 57:56Speaker 1: but you don't have a problem with a black woman,
- 58:00Speaker 1: and in this case, Harriet Tubman being memorialized, I got
- 58:03Speaker 1: a big problem. If it's on a bill before they
- 58:05Speaker 1: put a black man's face on one, I have a
- 58:08Speaker 1: big problem. Why why he calls that story black havantus
- 58:12Speaker 1: of an ethnic group is determined by its men, not
- 58:15Speaker 1: its women, and that you built a black woman on
- 58:17Speaker 1: there before a black man is insulting to the black
- 58:21Speaker 1: race because you're saying the men ain't worth a damn
- 58:24Speaker 1: Put a woman up there. Birth. Yeah, Harriet Tubman talking
- 58:28Speaker 1: about Harry Tubby might have shot Joe Brown? All right,
- 58:30Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. This is why I prefer
- 58:33Speaker 1: judge mathis Okay. Yeah, they say, they say you shouldn't
- 58:36Speaker 1: argue with people that Harry Tubman probably would have shot
- 58:39Speaker 1: Harry Tubman might have shot Joe Brown. And for the record,
- 58:41Speaker 1: Harry Tubby was harder. It was harder than a lot
- 58:43Speaker 1: of you niggas. I just want to throw that out
- 58:45Speaker 1: there too. All right, Well I'm angela, yeah, and that
- 58:47Speaker 1: is your Now we can have the debate of what
- 58:49Speaker 1: black man should go on a bill before Harriet Tubman,
- 58:54Speaker 1: but it's probably only one. We're being honest. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 59:00Speaker 1: And I don't even know if you can compare it, like,
- 59:02Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at either one of those. To
- 59:04Speaker 1: be honest with you, I just want to tell you
- 59:06Speaker 1: you at your N word uh maximum for the day. Yeah,
- 59:09Speaker 1: definitely made your quota. Who told you that? Its source
- 59:14Speaker 1: to say that you're at your quota? Bro? So to
- 59:16Speaker 1: say reached word quota to day, I just want to say, fine,
- 59:22Speaker 1: I'll just transition to white people today. Then come on,
- 59:26Speaker 1: who are you're giving your donkey too? Well? Today's donkey
- 59:28Speaker 1: today is so us to say it's coming from South Dakota. Okay,
- 59:32Speaker 1: you can't use the N words or you can't use
- 59:34Speaker 1: the words in South Dakota, Okay, but we're not talking
- 59:36Speaker 1: about any words today. We're talking about Caucasians for a listen.
- 59:39Speaker 1: And this is good because we get to take a
- 59:41Speaker 1: trip down memory lane and talk about some of the
- 59:43Speaker 1: great UH anti drug campaigns that we've seen throughout history.
- 59:46Speaker 1: All Right, we'll get into that. Next to doat move,
- 59:48Speaker 1: it's to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's don't be a
- 59:51Speaker 1: dust because right now you want some real It's time
- 59:55Speaker 1: for Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel
- 59:57Speaker 1: I need to be a donkey man, get it with
- 59:59Speaker 1: the heat. Did she get the name? Please? I had
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: become Donkey of to day the Breakfast Club bitches, Yeah,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: sounkey today for Tuesday, November nineteenth goes to South Dakota
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Governor Christy Nome. Now I know nothing about South Dakota.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: When I say nothing, I mean nothing. I googled famous
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: people from South Dakota just to see what's come out
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: of there on the entertainment front. And the first name
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: was WWE legend UFC fighter brock Lessner, an actress named
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: January Jones, who I've never heard of white people in
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: the room, ya know, January yeah, we know January toy
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Bey're not white, but okay, and social media agitator Fox
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: News personality Tommy Lawren is from South Dakota, so it's
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: safe to say that the mayonnaise is heavy in South Dakota.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, because I did
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: light research on this, but in South Dakota it seemed
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: like it was twenty thousand black people and seven hundred
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: thousand white people. Okay. Yeah, See, even if I'm wrong
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: on the numbers, I'm pretty sure that there's more Caucasians
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: in South Dakota than it is Negros. Now, South Dakota
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: must have a meth problem because Governor Christy Nome launched
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: her anti meth campaign. Now, before we move on to that,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: I want to give people a quick history lesson in
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: regards the anti drug campaigns, anti drug messaging. I remember
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: growing up in the eighties and nineties and the messaging
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: about drug use was simple and effective. Do you remember
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: famous campaigns like this is your brain, this is your
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: brain on drugs and they were scrambling the eggs. Is
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: there anyone out there who still isn't clear about what
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: doing drugs does? Okay, last time, this is your brain.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: This is drugs. This is your brain on drugs. Any
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: questions amazing? Amazing? I always wondered did someone eat those
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: eggs after? Okay. Also, the anti drug messaging in movies
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: was very effective. Who can remember the classic scene on
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: Lean on Me when Joe Clark delivered a powerful anti
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: drug message to Sam. I don't think you've changed the thing.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: Go on jump? No, I don't want to jump. Yes,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: you do. You smoke crack. Don't you look at the bar?
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Don't just smoke crack? Yeah? Ye, sir. Do you know
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: what that guys tell you? Sir? It kills your brain
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: cells done, it kills your brains self. I want you
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: just throwing your brains fells. You're doing the same thing.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: It's killing yourself. You're just throwing his chlo now. I said,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: if you want to kill yourself, don't prown with the
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: going and doing expodiciously, not going and jumping jump myself.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: I know that's what I learned the word that prediciously from.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: I know that is round of applaud Morgan Freeman. Okay,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: come on, man, you didn't want to know drugs after
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: seeing stuff like that? What about minutes of Society when
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: you realize that crackheads weren't just out here sucking on
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: glass pipes. Man, you got some money or not? Oh,
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: cook me up this time you up? Man? Wait wait wait,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: wait man, man, man, I'll suck your come on man,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: just hook me up. You just say I said I
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: sucked your come on man. That was terrifying. Okay, but
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: there's no anti drug messaging better than just they No.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: It was just simple and to the point. Let's hear it.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: It's a good part for you. No cocaine, No thanks, yo,
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: my man, you want some nudes? No? What if someone
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: offers you drugs? Instead of saying something you really don't mean,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: just say now, got some sense? A million few no, no,
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: no big production number, just say no. You'd be surprised
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: how well it works. No. No, if it was just
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: that easy to just say no. But we'll get to that.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Governor Christy nom Like most white people, they have a
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: different approach to the opioid epidemic than they did they
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: ever did to the crack epidemic. Okaysee, when it comes
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: to crack, it was all about saying no, just say no,
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: okay and locking people up. When it comes to the
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: opioid academic. It's all this messaging about being in this
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: together and getting people help well. Governor Christie Nom's anti
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: drug campaign unless I'm on drugs, doesn't seem like an
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: anti drug campaign to me at all. In fact, I
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: would go so far to say this is a just
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: say yes campaign. In fact, the campaign slogan is math,
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: We're on it. I can't make this kind of stuff up.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Play to add. I'm Governor Christy Nom. South Dakota's meth
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: crisis is growing at an alarming rate. It impacts every
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: community in our state, and it threatens the success of
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: the next generation. This is our problem, and together, we
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: need to get on it. If you see something happening,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: or you know of someone who needs help, call one
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: eight hundred nine two zero four three four three or
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: go to on meath dot com. Let's get mess out
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: of South Dakota. Show the end, put the end up on.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Put the South Dakota state thing with the they look
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: at that meth, We're on it. Maybe they're trying to
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: normalize it so you feel like you're not alone. That's
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Dakota, is this your queen a right?
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: I agree with Angeli. Ye. Also, I feel like I
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: know what Governor Christie was trying to do. She's trying
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: to say, meth is a problem in South Dakota and
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: the community needs to get on it as far as
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: finding a solution. But no, okay, nobody read this and
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: was like, this doesn't read write. She didn't come up
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: with this on her own. Okay, this will put together
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: in a boardroom somewhere. They were conference calls. People had
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: to approve this. Not one person said to themselves, you know,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: I don't think a website called on meth dot Com
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: is a good idea. I don't think having the state
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: of South Dakota with the words meth were on it
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: written across it is a good idea. But ye know what,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: I think that Christy Nome knows how hard it is
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: to just say no. So instead of just saying no,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: like Angela Ye just said, she said, let's just say yes,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: we're in this together. Okay, We're on it together. And
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: guess what, I have no feelings about this other than
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: this commercial being hilarious. There's a prophet among us named
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle who broke down how I feel about this
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: on his latest stand up special sticks and stones. Can
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: we hear from the guard opioid crisis is a crisis.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: I see it every day. It's as bad as they say. Sadly,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: you know what aminds me of seeing it reminds me
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: of us. These white folks look exactly like us during
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: the crack epidemic. It's why because I even have insight
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: into how the white community must have felt watching the
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: black community goes through the scores of crack. Because I
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: don't care either hanging there. White just say no, what's
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: so hard about that? South Dakota? Carry on? Please give
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Governor Christie no Man the biggest Hee Hall track. Let
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: Kathy Griffin give Governor Christie Noman the biggest sell Please
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: give this giant jar male the biggest Hea Hall. They
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: paid four hundred and fifty thousand dollars for that ad campaign.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: How much meth can you buy with one hundred and
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars in South Dakota. I don't know how
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: much math card. I know one thing, the crack where
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: aret it campaign would have been firing Jesus christ Okay,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: think if that monkey today now, when we come back,
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: Susan Rice will be joining us. It sounds like you
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: just popped in recording. He wasn't even you just popped in,
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: like you weren't even with this whole time, like you
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: are recording just now he's doing his he I was
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: brushing my hair, Yeah, shifting that wig back in place. Yo.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: You know, shut up. You were talking of the Babershop yesterday.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: I'm not going front. It was like arguing basketball games.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: I'm not. It's not fake, it's real. A lot of
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: people are asking about it. I'm telling you, I told you,
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: I got you a check. Yeah, man for this, it's
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: my real head. Guys, no follicles, no plugs, it's the truth.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: He cuts my end. Johnny was defending you. But then
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: there's people in there. It was like, nah, man, it
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: ain't real. Then they started bringing up Tory Lanes and
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: Lebron and all of these different people that got trapped
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: two page. It was crazy. But yours is a good job.
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: I'll say that it's not because it's real. That's why
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: it's no follicles, there's no plugs. It's nothing. Hey, follicles,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: We're on it, you know, you know what, Rice, But
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: when we come back, keep it locked as the Breakfast
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: Club Good morning the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building, Susan Rice. Welcome,
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: good be with y'all. Hey, miss Rice, you have a
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: new book out called Tough Love. What's the story of
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: the things We're fighting for? You know what I like
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: about you, Susan Rice. I heard you say that Lindsay
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Graham is a piece of shit, and I was like,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: I like a person that speaks that kind of language.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: So matter of factly, well, you know, I've had too
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: much experience with him, so I had to just finally
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: say what I needed to say. Absolutely. Now, you've been
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: through a lot, and what you don't think about sometimes
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: with politicians is how it affects their life at home, right,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: you know, being married and having children who when you
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: get slandered, your kids actually feel the burnt of that
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: as well. So can you talk about that a little bit,
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: just balancing being a mother, being a wife, but also
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: working for the Clinton's, working for Obama. Yeah. Well, I've
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: now got two kids who are close to grown. One
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: is in college and one is a junior in high school,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: but through most of my time I'm working in the
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Obama administration, they were pretty young and they were at home.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: And you know, when I got publicly vilified for going
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: on the Sunday shows and sharing the best information we
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: had at the time about Benghazi, what I didn't realize
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: is that our youngest child, our daughter, who was nine
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: years old at the time, was hearing all this stuff
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: on the television and had it, you know, really sort
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: of seep into her consciousness in a way that her parents,
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: her dad, and I didn't appreciate. And so there was
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: a period of time a few weeks after I went
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: on the Sunday shows that she started complaining that she
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: was seeing figures men coming at her out of walls,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: she was having hallucinations, and obviously we were totally freaked out,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: and we took her to Children's Hospital in Washington for
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: like weeks of tests, and they were trying to figure out,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: you know, is this a brain tumor, is this schizophrenia
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: or some other kind of psychosis, Is it a vision problem?
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: And we went through all this to try to figure
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: it out, and thankfully they were they ruled out all
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: the worst case scenarios and they concluded sort of by
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: process of elimination, that she was having a stress reaction
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: to what had happened. She'd seen happening to me on
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: the television. Yeah, eight years old, which is you know,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I have strong feelings about
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: the manner in which people attack one another. And Lindsey
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: Graham was one of the most virulent and persistent of
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: my attackers. Actually, to this day, you never think about that.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: You never think about how the families of people are
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: being affected. Ironically, you know what maybe think about that
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: back in the day was when Kathy Griffin did the
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: thing with Donald Trump holding the head and they were
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: saying how his son saw that, right, And I was like,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, That's why
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: I put it in the book. It does affect the
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: people who love them and people who didn't sign up
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: for this. Did that make you fail? Sorry? I did
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: you fix what you're doing? Just turn the TV off?
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: You not allow them to have a cell phone. Tell
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: first of all, we did turn the TV off, but
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: too late, before you know, it had already affected her.
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: And then just to try to explain this as best
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: we could, what was happening, try to make sense of
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: this to a nine year old. Our older child got
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: it right, but she she was sort of too young
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: to be able to process it. So we really spent
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: time trying to explain it to her and assure her
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: that I was okay, that she was okay, And then
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: with time and you know, things calming down, she ended
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: up being fine. If Lindsey Graham Trump, you know what,
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: my mother who's up in heaven, would look down on
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: me and tell me to shut up because what I
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: would say and answered that she would not be proud of.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: So I'm not going to get she's already mad. She's
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: putting me in time out for what I said about
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham. Already are there times right now you feel
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: like you really want to jump back in? No, you know,
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: I'm very frustrated and concerned about where we are as
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: a country, and I'm very concerned that what Donald Trump
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: is doing is pursuing foreign policies that benefit himself personally, politically,
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: and financially, but do nothing to advance our national interests.
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: In fact, they are undermining our national interests. You know,
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: when Nancy Pelosi said that all all roads seem to
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: lead to putin. There's a lot of truth to that.
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: It's an extraordinary coincidence in quotations that you know, every
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: major choice he's made in foreign policy or almost everyone
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: has the added benefit of being helpful to Russia. So
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: that's what worries me, and it makes me, you know, obviously,
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: want to continue to speak out and to be as
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: informative as I can to the American people about what
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: we're witnessing and how this is not normal and how
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: we can't accept it. But in terms of jumping back
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: into the arena, you know, well, you know I've gotten
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: I've been so fortunate to serve at the highest level
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: and to serve under two presidents, particularly most recently President Obama,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: at the highest levels, whom I have enormous respect for.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be hard to match that going forward.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: Are there things you feel like Obama could have been
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: more aggressive on? And maybe I always felt like his
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: hands were kind of tied because of the Republicans, But
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: do you feel like there's things that, like, man, we
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: should have been way more aggressive when it came to this. Well,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: my space in this was national security and foreign policy,
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: so you know, on the domestic policy side, which may
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: be more what you were thinking. You know, I think
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: you know, there's no question that Obama faced the perpetual
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: challenge of a set of congressional Republicans, as mister McConnell said,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: who tried to thwart him at every turn. But despite that,
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: there's so many ways in which, you know, things are
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: much better or were much better at the end of
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: the Obama administration than they were going into it. And
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: those are many things about which I'm proud, But my
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: area of expertise really wasn't on the domestic excited you know,
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: let's talk about the difference between Clinton and Obama. He
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: was in both administrations. Could you tell the difference of
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: how Clinton had was easy to get things done and
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: it was so much difficult for Barack Obama and some
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: of those differences. It really wasn't that easy for Bill
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: Clinton either, really, you know, remember he got impeached. He
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: was the last. So you know, there's a kind of
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: mythology that the fact of the matter is, you know,
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: you look back on how this polarization in Washington, and
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: you know, this sort of effort to ensure that whoever's
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: in the White House the opposite party is trying to
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: make it impossible for them to get anything done. Bill
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: Clinton experienced that and he and arguably was sort of
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: the first to go through that. So, um, you know,
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: it really wasn't that easy. Then, What's what was a
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: little bit different? Was it? For a period anyway? There
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: was still some lingering readiness on the part of the
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: parties to cooperate on certain pieces of legislation. But remember
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: that was Newt Gangrish back in the day, who you
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: know was coming after Clinton No ninety Okay, how was
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: it being a woman of color, black woman watching that
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: whole ninety four crime bill play out, especially when you
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: saw it? Actually it hindered Hillary, you know when she
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: she ran for presidy, that was something held over herhead. Again,
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: like my reaction to it would have been just like
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: your reaction to you know, again, that wasn't in my
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: policy space. Um, and it's not an area where I
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: played any role. But I mean, obviously that didn't work
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: out for us. Right, that was rough, and you know
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: the ramifications are those that were still feeling today. How
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: did y'all handle impeachment? Bag? Then? Though, like, well, you
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: know that was so interesting because you know what Trump
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: is trying to say, is oh, impeachment's happening, Nothing's gonna
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: get done, you know which, of course, nothing was getting done,
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: And the only place anything was getting done is in
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: the House. And all these bills are sitting in the Senate,
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: which has nothing to do with impeachment yet. But in
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: the Clinton administration, the White House went out of the
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: way to really put in a one compartment all the
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: work that was being done on impeachment and everybody else.
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: I was at the State Department at the time, working
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: on African affairs. Yeah, was doing the business of government
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: as if nothing else were happening. We didn't let that
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: get in the way of doing our day job. Right,
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: You still have to be able to function, that's what
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. But see, because Trump thinks that
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: he is the government, he is the state if something
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: is coming at him, therefore everything has to yield to
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: his needs. So that's a huge difference. All right, we
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: have more with Susan Rice when we come back, don't move.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: It's the breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we all the Breakfast
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: club was still kicking it. With Susan Rice Yee. You
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: know a lot of these people personally obviously, who are
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: politicians that we might not like and we might not
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: like their policies, but knowing them personally, there's people that
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: you also feel like, He's not the person that you
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: see on television. I'm just asking because I know sometimes
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: you have to work side by side with people. Yeah,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: but you know what if somebody's going out on television
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: and telling bald faced lies, you know that tells you
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: a lot about him, and you know you you you
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: should believe what you see, right, All politicians lie? All right? No, No,
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, No, this is really important because what
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: Trump is doing is trying to normalize dishonesty. He did
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: it already, He's and and but don't let him get
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: away with that. It is not true when you know,
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: I don't care if you're talking about Obama, Bush, Clinton,
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: Obama before him, they did not get up every day
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: and stand in front of the White House and tell
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: bald faced lies to the American. He did not lie
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: about he lied about his personal conduct in that one instance,
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: he did not tell. I think Trump's count is over
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: twelve thousand lies about things small, and consequential. The man
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: is a serial liar. There is not a moment when
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: the American people can be confident that what comes out
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: of his mouth is the truth, whether it's national security
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: or you know, how many people were in his inauguration crowd.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: It's very interesting to watch. I watched him. He was like,
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: you know, let's keep the impeachment going for a little
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: while longer because it's making the pole shoot up. And
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: I was like, why do you think he'll be impeached.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: I think he'll be impeached, probably, but I don't know
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: that he'll be removed. In fact, I doubt he'll not,
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: allowing that, you know, I don't have a strong view
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: on that. And of course the impeachment was politically motivated.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: For all you want to say, I don't think that
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: one's personal sexual conduct, as reprehensible as it was in
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: that case, is you know, a matter of national and
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: and and you know, state importance. I think when the
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: president of the United States bribes a foreign leader with
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: the threat that he would not receive military aid that
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: he desperately needs because he's under attack from our greatest adversaries,
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: the Russians, and holds that military aid up in a
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: White House meeting up in order to get Ugus dirt
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: on his domestic political opponent, Joe Biden. That is putting
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: personal political interest ahead of the national interest, in our
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: national security, and you should be removed. A well, look,
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: let's see where the facts leave. I'm not you know,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: I don't think it's helpful to get ahead of that.
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: So let's see what the you know, what, what the
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: House comes up with. Let's see if he's impeach Let's
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: see how strong the evidence is. But what we've seen
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: so far is shocking and deeply, deeply concerning. Do you
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: think if he doesn't get removed, that will make him,
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: because he already fails invincible. Do you think that that
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: will make his supporters go harder for him? You know,
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: it seems like his supporters couldn't be any stronger for
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: him than they already are. I mean, and that's a reality.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: You know. I was not myself somebody who was pushing
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: for impeachment or thought that it was important or urgent, frankly,
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: until the Ukraine thing hip, and then I was like, wow,
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: this is so deep. All the things he did prior
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: they would look I think they were horrible yeah, but
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: I didn't think that that an impeachment process was the
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: best judgment until Ukraine came along. If if the Congress
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: doesn't call a president of the United States on something
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: of this consequence, then what is the Constitution about? Why
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: are we here? What else can this or any subsequent
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: president I think he can get away with. Out of
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: all the candidates running, who do you like and who
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: do you think is the best opponent for Donald Trump
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: to beat down? I haven't endorsed anybody. I haven't made
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: a pick. I want to see how this plays out.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Are there any candidates who came out from out of
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: nowhere that surprised you? Like? Okay, I do kind of
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: like this person? Well, I mean, you know what, I think.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: There's just there's just a lot of talent. I think
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: the one you know I've known, for example, Senator Harris
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: for a long time, like her. I like Joe Biden,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: obviously having worked closely with him. Um, there's a candidate
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: who hasn't gotten a lot of attention that I know
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: very well and have a lot of respect for, Michael Bennett,
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: who's a senior Senator from Colorado. I think Pete Buddha
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: judge is actually interesting, interesting to you because he's I've
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: met him several times. He's smart, Uh, he's committed. Um.
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: I respect his service in the in the in the military.
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: I think he's got very thoughtful ideas, and I think
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: he's kind of got the temperament and the um the
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: you know, the character to uh, to govern effective. Did
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: it feel like doomsday handing over that classified information on
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: your last day to the next administration. You know, we
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: had a lot of apprehensions for good reason, um, And
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: yet President Obama's directive to all of us was he
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: wanted us to hand off to the Trump administration as
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: completely and responsibly as Bush had handed off to him. Right.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: You know, politics aside. The business of national security is
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: head serious. The business of governing is dead serious. The
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: problem was these guys weren't serious about governing, as we've
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: seen subsequently. But we couldn't make that assumption preemptively. We
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: had to give them all. They hit it. No, no, no,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: you might have had your own personal concerns or suspicions.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: I certainly did. But the job of the sitting administration
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: is to enable the subsequent administration to be able to
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: hit the ground. On day one to serve American national executive, producer,
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: celebrity apprentice, any political office you have any hope in
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: n I didn't say hope, I said responsibility. Right, It's true. Indeed,
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: I know, I know you have to go. So one
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: last question twenty because you're talking about national security and
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, our democracy is definitely under attack.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: Like if you know that Russians an interfering, Miss McConnell
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: blocking the Election Security Bill, how much faith can we
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: have in elections? Well, this is a serious question, and
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: you know, miss McConnell, Moscow Mitch, as he's come to
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: be known, is doing more than anybody to hold up
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: our capacity to put in the money that we really
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: need to put in the resources to defend our election integrity.
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: I'm actually less concerned about the mechanics of our next election.
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: I think the States are better prepared than they were
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and I think the actual voting process
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: is likely to be fair and transparent. What I worry
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: about more is what is in our social media and
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: as I write in the last chapter of the book,
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: how the Russians in particular are exploiting our domestic political
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: divisions and trying to pit Americans against each other and
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: cause us to hate each other, fight each other, and
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: weaken our democracy. And that's their strategy or destroying us
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: and enabling themselves to become the global power. And we're
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: playing into that because of our divisions. So we got
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: Americans need to be much more witting of what is
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: going on and how our adversaries are trying to divide us.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: They need to be thoughtful, informed consumers of information, not
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: just believe everything that comes on your Facebook feed or
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: that you see and you know. But here's the big
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: thing we do. Each one of us gets to vote,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: and our vote absolutely matters, and we have got to
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: recognize that the leadership we have now is working against
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: our interests as African Americans, our interests as Americans broadly.
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: Can't sit back and you know think, well it's not
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: my problem where my vote doesn't matter or I can't
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: be bothered. We need to be bothered. I that putin
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Trump ticket is hard to beat for you know what,
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: We're going to beat it. But that requires each of
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: us to get out and do what we gotta do.
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: Absolutely well, thank you for joining us and the rights.
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: We appreciate you put putting on top of the two.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: That's right. I appreciate you for joining us. Book Tough
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Love is out right now, and thank you so much.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. It's great to be with y'all.
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club yaps, the world Most Dangerous want to
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: show the Breakfast Club Charlomagne and God Angela Yee. Dj
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: Envy is gone. I think, yeah, he's in Charlotte, so
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: he's got some stuff to do, so he left us. Okay, Well,
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: we're about to do rumor report. We're gonna talk Kanye
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: West and Doctor Dre. It's about, is the rumor report?
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Kanye West and
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: Doctor j looks like they had plans to release a
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: collaborative project called Jesus Is King Part Two. Kanye put
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: up on Instagram. Yea and Dre Jesus Is King Part
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: two coming soon. I don't know, though, Doctor Dre takes
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: a while for him to do his projects. I don't
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: do you think I get excited when I see anybody
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: say they're doing anything with Doctor Dre. Like Doctor Dre
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: is probably the greatest hip hop producer of all time.
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: When of the greatest producers of all time period. But
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: Doctor Dren were putting out no music. What is doctor
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: dre announced recently that actually came up. Um he did
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: his Thompton Yeah yeah, but he didn't even announced that.
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: That's the crazy part just came out when that says
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: he done. Maybe waiting on detox for Anderson Pack. Yeah,
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: So there you go. All right now Amanda Sales versus
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: Sean King, and this is all over Rodney Reid. So
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: we have all been seeing the whole Rodney Read story
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: and he has the death penalty or he did that
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: right now, he has a stay right because a lot
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: of people were protesting and feeling like Rodney Reid did
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: not actually rape and murder a woman and the woman
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: is Stacy Stites that we're speaking of. And so Amanda
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: Sales went on her social media to talk about Rodney
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: Reid activism and why she feels like you have to
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: do your research before you do these hashtags and before
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: you support people. When the Rotten Read case was presented
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: to us, and if you're someone like me, you read
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: the materials that were presented with it and you felt okay,
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: like none of this seems you know, awry, you went
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: ahead with the support. So it feels very duplicitous that
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: those who were pushing for this, we're doing so with
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: the knowledge that this person rot me read is not
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: just accused of but has been linked to previous rapes
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: via his DNA being discovered within the victim. So Amanda
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: Sales does go on to say that she does regret
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: once backing his exoneration because she's read whatever it was
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: presented and didn't realize that there was his whole backstory
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: of other allegations against him right, other rapes and situations
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: like that. Now, mind you, he was convicted more than
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: twenty years ago of this particular rape and murder of
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: Stacy Stitz, who was nineteen years old, by an all
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: white Texas jury. His DNA was found inside Stacy Stites.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: Here is what she had to say. He has been
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: ideed by a woman who escaped him. And so you're
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: asking yourself, who why wasn't he convicted of those Well,
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: three of those cases did not go to trial because
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: he had already been convicted of capital punishment. I think
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: it is very important to note, though, that this is
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: somebody who in two cases cited that the reason his
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: seamen was found in the body of a person who
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: was raped and killed was because he was having a
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: current relationship with them that unbeknownst to anybody else was
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: going on because that person was a white woman and
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: he was a black man. Yeah. I saw a news
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: report on KVUE which was detailing Rodney Reid's alleged history
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: of violence against women. Right. And the reason that he
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: even got identified in this Stacy Stites case was because
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: the following year, he had been arrested in charge with
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: the kidnapping, beating, an attempted rape and murder of another woman,
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: the Linda Schluder, And that attack happened about six months
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: after Stacy Sites was killed, and there were similarities between
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: these two cases. That's why the police started investigating him
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: in this case. And what would he mad about, Amandy?
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: What would he mad about now? Sean King responded to
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: what Amanda sALS had to say, and he went on
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: his Instagram he said, on behalf of the family of
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: Rodney Reid. I have to respond here directly to Amanda Sials.
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: We've counted over twenty egregious factual errors in her viral video,
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: but none were more inflammatory and damaging than this one.
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: Here she says that Rodney Reid, who she feels to
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: say was a high school student at the time in
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: Whichata Falls, Texas, raped and killed a woman. There lies,
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: all lies. I am proud to report that only Amanda
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: and her rush to get a video out killed that woman.
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: She is thankfully still alive and well today. She was
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: not murdered by Rodney or anyone else. And a jury
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: voted quickly and unanimously to a quit Rodney on all
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: charges in that case. So many lies in this video.
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: Rodney did not commit, the crime, was acquitted, and the
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: woman was never murdered. So this was a previous accusation
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: against him. Yeah, I mean Amanda was wrong about Rodney
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: Reid allegedly raping and killing one in which it taught Falls.
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: In that case, Rodney Reid was just charged with rape.
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: But I think a man is overall point about wishing
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: she had all the information on Rodney Reid's you know,
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: history of violence against women is accurate. Like, there's nothing
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: wrong with fighting for Rodney read but he has been
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: the alleged suspect and several violent crimes against women. And look,
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: I don't know if he's guilty of these things or not.
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: And he probably is innocent in the murderless Stacy size.
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: But I do know if a lot more people would
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: have known his history prior to the social media push
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: that had happened for him, they probably wouldn't have gotten
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: involved with that push. Now, Sean King said, do you
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: really think Rodney Reid duped the Innocence Project for the
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: eighteen years they've been on this case, do you think
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: he duped the Conservative Board of Pardons and Paroles and
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals. The smart people they
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: saw the actual evidence wake up and what does matter
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: in this particular case is the evidence in this case.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: So you know, they did say that Stacy Sites was
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: engaged and her fiance was actually a suspect as well
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: a person of interest, and according to other people who
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: are witnesses, they're saying that he was the actual culprit
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: her former fiance, Jimmy Fennel. So that's what the situation is. Now.
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: There's people who are coming forward saying that Jimmy Fennel
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: did admit to it and did not appreciate the fact
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: that Stitz was having an affair with Rodney Reid, and
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: that's why he claims that his Rodney Read says his
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: DNA was inside of her because he had been with
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: her the day before. So I mean, listen, I think
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: Sean is missing the overall point. He's talking to the
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: nuaunce of the Stacey Stitch case, which he's right on.
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: But Amanda and a lot of other people are talking
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: about Rodney Reid's overall history of violence against women because
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: all these women can't be lying, right. The only thing is,
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: and I would say this, the death penalty is final, yes,
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: And so I've always had an issue with the death penalty.
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: I've never really believed in the death penalty. But especially
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: if there's some type of doubt that someone committed a
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: crime and this witnesses coming forward and saying the person
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: didn't do it, I don't think that you should implement
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: the death penalty in those cases at all. Yeah, I don't.
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: I don't really have strong feelings on the definitely either way.
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: I don't even know if Rodden you read, is guilty
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: of these things and not like I just said, and
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: he probably is innocent in the murder of Stacey Stites,
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: and if that's the case, and he shouldn't be getting
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: put to death. But I do know if a lot
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: more people would have known about his history of violence
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: towards women prior to the social media push that happened
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: for him, I don't know if they would have gotten involved, right,
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying because of that, Because because
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: like all of these different women, like you're not believing
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: multiple accuses now all Kelly and Bill Coleby sitting around
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: like wor you only believe in multiple accuses no more?
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll keep you guys updated on what's
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: going on with that. But as for now, as we're
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: all investigating and doing our own research and coming up

- 1:33:54Speaker 1: it's also about her personal life. We don't think about
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: how these politicians are affected at home and their families
