  Speaker 4: Well, sexy man, Donkey today for Monday, September twenty third.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Will be up to you all. Okay.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I saw folks in an uproar about this over the weekend,
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: sending me messages.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Saying, Uncle, Sharla, you should give Janet Jackson donkey of today.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: And then I went and saw what Janet said, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: I couldn't believe you. He'sns was treating the architect of
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: rhythorm nation with such disrespect. Okay, this woman made that's
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: the way love goes, and this is the thing she gets.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I didn't quite feel like she should get the biggest
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: he haul, but I will let you all decide.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: See the woman who showed us what the pleasure principle was.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Janet Jackson was having a conversation with The Guardian that
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: was published on Saturday, and one of the things she
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: said in the article was she heard that Vice President
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Was not black.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Here's the quote, She's not black. That's what I heard
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: end quote. All right, that's what she recently said of
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Jannis said her father is white.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: That's what I was told. I mean, I haven't watched
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: the news in a few days now when I heard this.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: To me, it was just an opportunity to teach we
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: live in a world where misinformation runs so rampant, where
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: so much fake news and alternative facts circulate, that it's
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: not surprising to me that folks believe the fake news.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Not for the record, Kamala Harris is both black and
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Indian American. Those are simply the facts.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Okay. She has always identified as black and Indian. Her
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: father is from Jamaica, her mother is from India. That's that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: But because of misinformation promoted by former President Donald Trump
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: and others, people have, you know, run with the Kamala
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Harris is not black lie.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Personally, I think.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Folks was being too hard on Jana Jackson. Okay, she
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: was misinformed, Correct her and move on. It's easy to
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: be misinformed and repeat something you heard in this era.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Happens to folks every single day, even to people like
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Janna Jackson. And you know who I really blame. I
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: blame everyone who legitimizes foolishness, who legitimizes foolishness like this
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: is new okay, all the papers, all the news networks,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the MSNBC's, the Fox, CNN, all of y'all. When you're
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: sitting around making things like disappointed debate, when you replay
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: you know, Trump and others constantly repeating these lies, you
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: amplify them, and the lie gets around the world three times, okay,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: while the truth is still putting on issues.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: They will have whole panel discussions about this nonsense. It
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: is Kamala Harris black.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Dana Bashi even asked Kamala what she thought of Trump's comments.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: All of that type of rhetoric legitimizes that lie because
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: there has to be some sort of legitimacy to it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: If it's being posed as a question on cable.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: News right right, wrong, and nobody cares about the truth
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and the lies more entertaining. The truth is Kamala Harris
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: is both black and Indian, but the lie okay, she
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: just turned black, is way more entertaining. By this lie
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: has spread so much that even the Almighty Janet Jackson
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: believes it. Even the way the media has written. This
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: headline about the Janet Jackson situation reinforces the false narrative
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: that Kamala Harris isn't black, because the headline enrolled stone
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: is Janet Jackson questions whether Kamala Harris is black NBC News.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Janet Jackson tells interviewer she heard Kamala Harris is not black.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: All people see is Janet Jackson says, Kamala Harris is
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: not black. If you already heard that, now you might
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: believe it, because even Janet Jackson said it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: What I don't understand is why are we so quick
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to dunk on each other for just simply being wrong.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Why is everybody so quick just slander Janet Jackson and
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: then so Janet Jackson when we all have been victims
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: of some form of misinformation on social media, when people
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: say things like everyone knows Kamala Harris dad is black.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: No, everyone clearly doesn't.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And it is very arrogant to assume that folks have
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: that piece of information handy. And I really wish we
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: would stop attacking people for being misinformed, especially when they
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: aren't trying to weaponize the misinformation.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: They just wrong.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Just debunk the misinformation. Show the person the facts and
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: then once you do that, move on.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: It's not that serious.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: There's no reason to be coming at the woman who
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: made what have you done for me lately?
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Like this?
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: So let's go to breakfast club for it, that's right
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: and get my music? Are people overreacting? Are should Janet
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Jackson get the biggest he Hall?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: You heard the facts? I just laid them out for you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I laid out what she said, laid out what happened,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: and let's go to the phones.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's do that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Eight hundred and five eight five one five one man
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: breakfast club cost. So the question is Janet Jackson okay?
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: She said that she didn't think that the president was black?
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: She said she heard I guess as she heard it
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: from and she was absolutely.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: She shean't said she didn't think, she said she heard
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: she heard. So the question an Bretherid Kamla Harris was
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: than black. Do you give Janet Jackson grace or no?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Should get the biggest he hull?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: You overreacting? Or should she get the biggest hea Hall?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Hello? Who's this?
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Is this?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Del from jen City City? What's your thoughts?
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Hi?
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: I think that we need to leave in it alone.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: At the end of the day, she's an entertainer, she's
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: not a politician. She never swore on anybody's valuable to
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: handle anything as far as power takes. And the fact
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: that we keep putting so much emphasis on the opinions
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: of people who are literally literally just here to entertain
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: the Master's it's crazy. It's politicians full at the end
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: of the day for always going so hard to push
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: for endorsements for people just so that you could get
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: the votes of their fans. But at the end of
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: the day, I'm not voting for anyone because being the
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: rector said so, like, that's just not a thing.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Who who could tell you to vote for somebody? Like
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: what what person do you follow? And if they said, hey,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I'm supporting this person, you would you would?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: You would do it too.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Nobody like my family, we have family discussions or how
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: we all feel. I'm not I don't know these people
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: in real life.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the deal is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: I don't know who's paying you. I don't know how
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: often you even watch the news. So no, no one's
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: opinion and the entertainment business matters to me.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: Whatsoever.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: Me and my family get together, we watched the debate,
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: We had the discussions and we decide how we you
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: and I believe.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Most people feel like her.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: This is why a lot of people like uh celebrity
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: stay out of politics though, because it's like when you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: don't know something, they drag you, and you try and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: support they drag you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yep, Hello, who's this?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Hi?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Hey Lisa, good morning.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: What did you think about Jenney Jackson saying that Kamala
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Harris is not black.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: And it knew what she was doing. She's had how
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: many so I think that is of experience being an
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: artist doing the interviews with gr three forty exactly saying
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: she did it, not back to her.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: She did this, she hued to.
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: But let's keep in mind that the brother Randy his
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: words to non people like these ultra right wing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, it's Instagram and he's he's pretty extreme. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: if that's being as manager, and she had plenty of
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: times to expect or to apologize, she didn't see apology.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Phone sound your phone sound a little crazy, mama. So
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: so what she was basically saying was she feels like
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Janet knew what she was doing and that her brother
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: is a Republican and possibly feeding Janet the information.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: So she's saying Janet needs the biggest Huh.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's what she's saying.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, Hello, who's this?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Name your thoughts?
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Good morning y'all. I love y'all, by the way, I
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: listen every day. But I just think that it's crazy,
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Like I hate this for Jenny Baking because one, this
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: is like public information right, like you can literally go
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: so Wikipedia, page Google. So it's like for somebody who's
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: on her plantfork just behind it turned out another woman.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: I just think it's crazy, and it's like why she's
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: the only woman on here trying to make it like
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: we don't want down the Trump she's the worst can
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: it ever? And then it's like we're just off here
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: shaming her name and talk about her for oh I'm sorry,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: fuck use up about her for what. I just don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: get it. I hate this for Janna Jacka, I honestly do.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: So you you think Jane should get the biggest he
• 8:06

• 8:08

• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Guardian that in regards to Kamala Harris, she's not black.

• 10:23
  Speaker 10: she's a celebrity, why is she not available or able
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: to make mistakes? We give misinformation all the time. She's
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: able to receive misinformation just like we're able to receive misinformation.
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: She shouldn't be held accountable for that.

• 10:55
  Speaker 7: several days.
• 10:56

  Speaker 10: However, I will vice president for three and a half years.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: We all should know that she's black. Unacceptable. She should
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: offer an apology.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, thank you so much. Than all right, Charlamagne, Well.

• 11:33
  Speaker 4: keep it moving.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: The last lady did bring up a very good point.

  Speaker 4: It's not like the vice president hasn't been in office
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the last three and a half years, you know what
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: I mean. So at the very least you should know
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: she's black and Indian. You might not know both, but
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: you at least you know one of those parts, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: it should be the black part.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It's a little while for her not to at least
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: know that she yet to bring.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Some people are just probably not in the polits not
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: in the no, probably don't care, probably.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Don't Georg Jane and Jackson lives under you know, in
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: her own bubble and Jackson. But still, I mean, you
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: know how touchy politics are. You could have been like,
