  Speaker 2: exercise and all that type of stuff. Joining us on
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the program today, Indie B, the one and only.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: How you doing, baby girl? I had a dream about you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Should I leave the room? That happens all the time,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: baby girl. Hold on a minute. Hold on a minute.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It was clean.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: It was clean.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, do I need to leave
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the room? But I guess I missed you. I guess
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I missed you. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, they say don't tell your dreams unless
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you want them to come true.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So tell me what happened. No? Andy B's joining us.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, so remember that Don Lemon and I are going
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to be at the Symphony Hall.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That'll be Thursday. What is it? The 9th of October.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And then the 10th we'll be at Symphony Hall in Atlanta.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Then we'll be at the Cut. What's Close? Klaus? Klaus. Theater.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Theater.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: In Indianapolis.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So don't you hate when clearly Donald Trump said or
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: basically said, talked about a foreign power blowing up two
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: cities in the United States of America, right?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Clearly.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And people, that's not what he said. Whatever he said
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: was inappropriate for a president to say. Whatever he said,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: aren't you tired of explaining to people what he meant?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: You're telling, oh, he didn't encourage people to attack the Capitol.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I heard.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He didn't call the Obama's apes. He did.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Aren't y'all tired of lying to yourselves?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And you know what? It wouldn't have mattered. We could
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: take all that. He's a lousy president. He's an amoral man.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And anybody who defends him and consistently defends him and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: still supports him, you are a horrible human being.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And you know it. You know you are. If you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: know you, if you didn't believe you were, you wouldn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: have to pretend not to hear the things that are
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: happening or see them. Mm-hmm. Happy birthday to Dr. Opal Lee,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the grandmother of Juneteenth.
• 2:11

• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Morris Fleetwood Walker, the first Black player
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: decades before Jackie Robinson and several others to break the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: color line in baseball before those lines were drawn. He
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: joined a major league team in 1884, and after a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: game against the Louisville Clips, the Louisville newspaper complained about
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: his inclusion.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Then they went, we ain't gonna have no s * * *
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: for a while. He was busting that ass, I guess. Yes, indeed.

• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Lee celebrating her 100th birthday today.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: With a groundbreaking ceremony for the National Juneteenth Museum. It's
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: in Fort Worth, the historic South Side. So the museum is...
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: is a tribute to her advocacy for Juneteenth. It's aiming
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: to educate and preserve history and promote community development.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: So the museum is supported by the city of Fort Worth,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: and it's going to focus on the Juneteenth history, the
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: issues like education, entrepreneurship, and it hopes to become a
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: cultural and economic hub.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: For the neighborhood. So let's support it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about that. And Michelle Obama... is in town
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: for the celebration. Those tickets were a gazillion dollars. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the woman who survived the.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Lethal injections. The botched lethal injections. Yes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Krista Pike. She is now conscious.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Why? Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: After surviving that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Now, her attorney. Well, they saved her life and put
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on a ventilator. I thought y'all was trying to kill her.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And now they just let her go. Come on. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't I don't get it. I mean, I'm not saying
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it one way. Come on. It just don't make sense.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It was a good sleep drug.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Her attorneys are saying that she's still in the hospital
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: in Nashville and she's receiving critical care. She was given
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: those two doses and her prognosis remains unclear.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So she may. Wait a minute.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Her lawyers.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: What's she going to do? Y'all was. What's she going
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to do? She going to sue for bringing her back
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to life? Never mind.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Are they still going to?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Either way, that's double jeopardy for your ass.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They tried to kill her twice.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Also trending, Jamie Foxx said you will not see him
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: sitting down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shay Shay anytime soon.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: He says that the show seems like the kind of
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: place where you can get in trouble.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And he don't want no trouble. Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And he also just want to remind us it's his
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: new comedy special. Take care of yourself. It's going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: premiere today on Hulu.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Between Shannon's show and Cam Newton's show, you can put
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: your foot in your mouth and go viral. He's literally
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: taking care of himself. So way to go. Yeah. Well,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that's what's trending. All right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: We often talk about the problem in crime in America
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and how it is ravaging our streets. But it seems
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to be from one particular principle. There are a number
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: of experts that constantly barrage us with what's going on
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: with the communities, the inner city communities, the urban communities,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: black on black crime and what effect rap music has
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: on crime. We never have conversations about crimes, other implications.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened at Cornell, but I do
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: know this, that one of the most dangerous places for
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: women to be, young women in particular to be, is
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: in the presence of young men on college campuses. They
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: say as many as 30-some percent of women on college
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: campuses have reported either an attempted sexual assault or an
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: actual one. Why is it that we will hear ad
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: nauseum when people talk about the rap culture? They never
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: talk about the rape culture. And it's really pervasive in
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: these Ivy League schools. There are people who we've talked
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: about who play football who are now being accused of
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: sexual assault. We have a Supreme Court justice who's been
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: accused of sexual assault. We have a president that is
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: an adjudicated rapist. We have an attorney general right now,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: excuse me, senator, who was light on a pedophile. Now
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's coming to light that he gave deferential treatment to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: 10 young students accused of rape. It used to be
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a time when rape and pedophilia were disqualified by higher offices.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We have a young man in Stanford that raped someone
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in front of someone. And the judge did not want
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to ruin his future. It happened in Chicago. It happens
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: all over the country. Now, we are quick to protect
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: our girls from being in the bathroom with a transgender.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: But you know what's more dangerous than being in a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: bathroom with a transgender? Being in a dorm room with
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: a young frat boy. A person in a dress ain't
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: got a damn thing when somebody with a toga on.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And it can only happen if people look the other way.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It can only happen if people decided it should. We
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: have no problem talking about the problems and the ills
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of society when it's from a different perspective. You tell
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: us about how you want your women safe from illegal
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: immigrants or how you want them safe in the inner city.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: We'll have any number of right-wing nutjobs tell us how
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: bad crime is and how it's endemic and specific to us.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But silence now. Somebody told me that there was a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: study where women talked about if they were alone in
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the woods, would they rather run across a bear or
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a man? And almost 80% of women chose a bear.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That's across all kinds of spectrums, race, color, religion, all
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of that. They chose the bear because the bear might
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: maul you to death, but he ain't going to ruin
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: your credit in sexually assaulting. If we're going to have
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a conversation about what is plaguing our young people, what
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: is plaguing our children, we need a more well-rounded one
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: because one is accepted and one is as a matter
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of fact, if Michael Jackson were a priest instead of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a singer. with the current, with the previous construction of
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the Catholic church, he would have got assigned to a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: new record label. You can go anywhere but Tommy Boy.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: There is a way that we look at things. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: have no problem talking about the ills of our communities,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: which should be addressed. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: when it comes to their own, When it comes to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the things they do, I think Kavanaugh should have never
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: been able to be.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Just the allegations should have prevented him.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I think if you've ever been accused of rape, you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: damn sure shouldn't have a job where you get to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: wear a robe.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He should have to wear pants at least.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: They will tell us ad nauseum the problem with immigrants,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the problem with black community, the problem with rap music.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But we know pervasive is pervasive everywhere. But you do
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: not want to have those conversations. That's why it keeps happening.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You voted and a lot of people, the majority of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: white people.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: In this country voted for a man who's an adjudicated rapist.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: You voted for a man that said he will grab
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: women by the.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So if you vote for a dude who'll do that,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you can't be shocked when your sons take it later
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: on and how little attention it gets. They're raping people
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: at Cornell and they're selling drugs at Penn State. Don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: say a damn thing to me about an HBCU. That's
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a little note from the GED section. The question we're asking, men, traditionally,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: most men find, according to this survey, find women with
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: less makeup more attractive. If that is the case, why
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: is heavy makeup so popular? Why do you think it is, Indy?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Why do you think it's so popular?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I think women do it to either
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: boost their confidence. They're not confident with their natural appearance
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: or they're doing it to compete with other women. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: think that a lot. I think it's a competition, either
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a competition thing or self-confidence. Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: But then in some cases, you know, some women have
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: like real bad acne. Yes, I say confidence. You want
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: to cover it up. Or they got that, what do
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: you call it, the Mongolian mark where you got that
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: dark patch on your side of your head.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. So they be taking up for that. Taking up
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: for that. Taking.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to our social media platform and
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: see what they got going on.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Skip, tell us what's happening out there. What do they say?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Johnny in Redding, Pennsylvania says, I don't know why they
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: wear so much damn makeup. I can't stand it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if there's one place you need makeup,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it's Redding, Pennsylvania.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Yo, my first serious girlfriend was from Redding, Pennsylvania. She
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: was gorgeous. That was it. And then they cut it
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: off after that. That was it. And Sephora's online, too, saying, hey,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: leave them women alone. Yes. That's enough arm money. Ulta
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: is online, too.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: When you get your makeup shot on with a paint gun,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: then probably.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: What kills me is when I watch a tutorial video,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: makeup video, it's always an hour long. I'm like, I
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: don't want to do it if it's going to take
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: me that long.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't even recognize the person with or
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: without it. Like, is that the same person? Oh, my God. Man.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You see? I can't tell. I haven't seen your face.
