• 4:39
  Speaker 8: to get it was just bad.
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: Well, all right, well let's get in some front page news.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: Let's start off with some quick sports. Now, last night
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: the Lakers tied the series. They beat the timber Wolves
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: ninety four eighty five, then to beat the Grizzlies one
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: eighteen ninety nine. They lead the series to nothing, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: the Pacers beat the Bucks one twenty three, one fifteen.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: They lead that series in the playoffs.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: What's up to me?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It's he up, y'all?
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: Good morning, how y'all doing, Good.
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: Morning, good morning.
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: All right, well, let's start with something that is about
• 5:07
  Speaker 11: to hit people in their pockets. The Trump administration says
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: it will resume debt collection for people who have defaulted
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: on their federal student loans starting May fifth. Now, student
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: loan goes into default if you hadn't made a payment
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: in about two hundred and seventy days, or approximately around
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: nine months. The Department of Education says this will apply
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: to all federal loan types, including direct loans, perkin loans,
• 5:31
  Speaker 11: federal family education loans. So right now, more than five
• 5:35
  Speaker 11: million people are already in default and another four million
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: people are close to it. That means nearly nine million
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: borrowers could soon face really serious consequences. In a press conference,
• 5:47
  Speaker 11: Press Secretary Caroline leave it levittxcuse me explained how the
• 5:50
  Speaker 11: administration plans to move forward with collections.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Let's hear what she had to say.
• 5:55
  Speaker 12: Borrowers will now be clearly expected to repay their loans,
• 5:58
  Speaker 12: and those who default on their loan obligations will face
• 6:01
  Speaker 12: involuntary collections. The government can and will collect defaulted federal
• 6:06
  Speaker 12: student loan debt by withholding money from borrowers tax refunds,
• 6:09
  Speaker 12: federal pensions, and even their wages.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought they already did that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: I know for a fact when I had school loans
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: and I got a tax refund, they automatically took that
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: to pay the school loans.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: So I thought that was already done.
• 6:23
  Speaker 11: Well you know what they started it. They put it
• 6:25
  Speaker 11: back into session like right around COVID. So they haven't
• 6:28
  Speaker 11: pressed or went after student loan borrowers since before the
• 6:32
  Speaker 11: COVID nineteen crisis.
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: And so now the Trump administration.
• 6:36
  Speaker 11: Says it will start sending out notices later this summer
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: informing those who have defaulted on their student loans about
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: their wage garnishment. They can take up to fifteen percent
• 6:45
  Speaker 11: of your check.
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: Again.
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: All this starts on May fifth. And if you think
• 6:51
  Speaker 11: you might be in default the administration, they recommend you
• 6:54
  Speaker 11: contacting the Student Aid Default Resolution Group. You may be
• 6:58
  Speaker 11: able to get back on track by making monthly payment
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: and rolling in an income driven repayment plan or applying
• 7:04
  Speaker 11: for a loan rehabilitation. But this is about to hit
• 7:08
  Speaker 11: millions of people in about a week and a half.
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: If you voted for Trump because of the economy, if
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: you voted for Trump because he was gonna put more
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: money in your pockets, you've got to be rethinking that decision.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: That this of course, of course, but when you have
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: it's even been one hundred days, Lord have mercy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: But when you have school loans, right, and when you graduate,
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: you have to look for a job, and then it
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: gives you a certain amount of time to find a job,
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: and at nine times out of ten, that job can't
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: pay for your rent. If you have a car, you're eating,
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: and then to pay that school loan. There's no possible way.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: You can't afford to pay all those sticks.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and if inflation is high, if people are losing
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: their jobs, if tariffs got to cost the goods high,
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: where people are gonna.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Get this money from? Exactly what wage you gonna gone this?
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: I ain't got none.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: You're gonna You're just gonna mess up my credit.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: But I can't pay you because it's either my rent
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: or it is gonna pay these cool loans. And which

  Speaker 8: they do not care about, you know, people that are
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: not in the same tax bracket.

  Speaker 3: even the late fees with.

  Speaker 13: the radio, specifically Charla Man and then he y'all are
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: telling these people, y'all have people scared out of here
• 13:46
  Speaker 13: about what's really going on. I just don't appreciate it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 13: If you borrow money, why you have to pay it back.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: I don't understand that nobody's saying you don't have to
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: pay it back. But if if we're getting a loan
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: from the government and times are hard and times of
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: nobody saying they're not gonna pay it back. But if
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: you're gonna start garnish my wages and I can't pay
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: for my rent, you're gonna start garnishing my wages and
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: I can't put food on the table. If you're gonna
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: garnish my wages and I can't not just wages, but
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: not just wages.
• 14:16
  Speaker 13: That's not the tax payers for that. We decided to
• 14:19
  Speaker 13: get along and we can't afford to pay it back.
• 14:22
  Speaker 13: We got to stop pushing the nine taking accountability.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: No, nobody's nobody's doing none taking accountability.
• 14:30
  Speaker 13: Y'all have to stop.
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: City City. Let me ask you a question.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you a question because it's his administration
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: doing it. Questions his Department of Education.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: When the automotive industry was going down, and the automotive
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: industry couldn't pay anybody and was defaulting on their loans,
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: the government helped them out right. When the airlines were
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: messed up and they couldn't pay their loans back and
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: they were messed up, the government helped them out right.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: When all these billion dollar companies are messed up, the
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: government helps them out. All we asking for is little help.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Nobody say nobody gonna pay him back, but just help out.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Just look for the common people when they know things
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: are fed.
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: Up, and brother and brother can ask you a simple question.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: You told me not to blame Trump, but the Trump
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: administration announced one day they're the ones who are resuming
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: the debt collections for federal student loan borrows.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: So who else am I supposed to blame?
• 15:13
  Speaker 13: Absolute? Absolutely, because again we have to start taking accountability
• 15:19
  Speaker 13: for the choices that we make. We have to like,
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: we can't sit here and take out federal funds and
• 15:25
  Speaker 13: then not expect to have to pay you back. That's
• 15:27
  Speaker 13: why American.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but did you but talking about did you hear.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: Talking about did you hear what V just said When
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: these big corporations need bailouts, when they take our big.
• 15:38
  Speaker 13: Loans and the people, we can't keep looking at corporations.
• 15:41
  Speaker 13: We have to make our old our old decisions, and
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: our own choice.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: You're not making no sense. You're you're one of those
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: people who came up. You care more about the rich
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: than you do everyday working class people. You can't you
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: care more about the rich than you do everyday working
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: class people.
• 15:57

  Speaker 4: settle with his accuser for at least ten million dollars.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: This was revealed yesterday by his attorney in a phone
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: call that they had with a bunch of different media outlets.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: But prior to this phone call, and I believe what
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: sparked the phone call was the fact that there was
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: this audio released by TMZ. But in the audio is
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: a phone call between the accuser and Shannon Sharp. Let's
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: take a listen to the phone call.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: I don't know anything.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I say, You're just gonna like get mad at and
• 18:57

  Speaker 6: True?

  Speaker 13: I don't think you have a choice in the matter.

  Speaker 6: How old that girl you said?
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: What?
• 19:29
  Speaker 19: How old you? Uh?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: She's in her early twenties now, like what twenty one?
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: Right? Yeah?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: She was in twenty twenty three. She was nineteen, So.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she looks like she's like twelve thirty.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I mean to say, I have not seen the picture
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: showed just her. Oh wo show another pecko.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: You gonna have to call liights in a minute.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: She going her way to class right there she does.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: She does it like a young college looks like a college.
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: Wow. Yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: So what happened was after this audio was released at
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: the same time, literally like moments apart, Shannon Sharp then
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: released a video statement, and in the video statement, he
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: is addressing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: She's twenty two, by the way, twenty two.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Now he's addressing what he believes is about to happen,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: but he doesn't address the audio. Let's take a listen
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: to his video that he posted, Shannon Chark, this is
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: a shakedown.
• 20:17
  Speaker 16: This is all being orchestrated by Tony Busby, who is
• 20:20
  Speaker 16: targeted Jay Z. Tony Buzzby targets black men, and I
• 20:24
  Speaker 16: believe he's going to release a thirty second clip of
• 20:26
  Speaker 16: a sex tape that tries to make me look guilty
• 20:28
  Speaker 16: and played into every stereotype you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: Could possibly imagine.
• 20:32
  Speaker 16: That video should actually be ten minutes or so, Hey, Tony,
• 20:35
  Speaker 16: instead of releasing your edit put the whole video out.
• 20:38
  Speaker 16: I don't have it, or I would myself. You know
• 20:41
  Speaker 16: what happened, and you're trying to manipulate the media. The
• 20:43
  Speaker 16: encountering question took place during the day at her invitation,
• 20:47
  Speaker 16: and now that appears to be able deliver setup coordinated
• 20:50
  Speaker 16: by Gavin also known as Karly on OnlyFans Gavin Tony
• 20:53
  Speaker 16: Busby want fifty million dollars. What they're getting is sued
• 20:57
  Speaker 16: for defamation and trying to take me down. My career
• 21:00
  Speaker 16: is all about real talking honesty, and I'm going to
• 21:03
  Speaker 16: be out there telling you whatever I need to say,
• 21:05
  Speaker 16: just like I always do.
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: I love all of you guys.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: It is a shakedown. It is a targeted attack.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: But Shannon needed to have some accountability because he gave
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: them something to shake down. He gave them something to
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: target by making poor choices.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and when he so basically when he mentioned her
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: name in the fact that she's the Only Fans girl,
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: people went and look and looked her up. So that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: how her photos begin to surface. Now on this phone
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: call that his attorney had with the media. The phone
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: call the attorney Shannon Strump's attorney addresses that audio that
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: we heard first, and what he says is that Shannon
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: spoke in the heat of the moment and did not
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: literally mean the words. Then they start having conversations about,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: you know, the like different text messages that have been released,
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: and I printed out the text messages for you guys.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: One of the things that I want to point out
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: here because basically what Shannon is saying is that there's
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: this video that's about to come out. They ask people
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: on this phone call with the media to not judge
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: because it's going to be and edit it format allegedly,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and so you won't get.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: The full context.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: But Shannon had said earlier in his statement, the first
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: statement he released, that there were things that he was
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: doing almost like role play that was a He says
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: that this was at the woman's request. And from the
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: look of these text messages, so there's two sets of them.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: The first text message that came out Gabby, who's the woman,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: the accuser. This is from January second, twenty twenty five,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: and this is when she says that she was sexually assaulted.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: So she's texting him and she's saying that she had
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: cried when he left because she had asked him to
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: put on a condom and she had begged him to
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: not put it in her behind, but he didn't listen.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: And she says that she doesn't care what their history is.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: No means no, right.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Then she's like, I don't know how to process this.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: And then they're like, you know, can I call you later?
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I guess can they talk later? But then in other
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: text messages you see the conversation. It goes from that
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: to her sending text messages and say I want to
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: be abused, daddy. I want like some hardcore BDSM action
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: though so and then she says, I want you to
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: tie me up like this and abuse me, daddy, And
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: you can see when the sex messages were released, you
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: can see it says like from Gabby to owner. So
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: it's painting a picture that their relationship was giving that
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: you know, there was role playing everythings that were happening.
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: It was a very unfortunate situation, horrible situation. The shop
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: and his lawyer have handled this whole situation terribly. First
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: of all, if you're saying the shop, you shouldn't be
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: saying anything. He should Busby and this young woman got
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: audio video and text messages. If you know all of
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: those things are out there, you should shut the f
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: up and continue to allow your lawyer to do his job.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: And your lawyer set out of his own mouth that
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: you was close to a ten million dollars settlement with
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: that girl, that right there is all the more reason
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: to shut the f up.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: I'm not here to speak to Shannon's guilt.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: Are innocent because I don't know, but I do know
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: attempting to settle looks like an admission to guilt because
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: I'm not settling, or.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I'm just scared. Honestly, he's just probably scared.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: I'm with you, man, I feel I feel like he's
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: being advised wrong right. And you know when people go
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: through this, they go to an attorney because the attorney
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: usually knows what's best for them.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: They do usually know what to do.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: And in this situation, like any attorney would say, shut
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: the f up unless deal with it in court. Let's
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: deal with facts, because you can't change public opinion unless
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: it's in court with facts. Now, but one thing I
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: would say if somebody said this, but I cried when
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: you left because I beg you to put a condom
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: on and you put it in my thief and you
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: didn't listen. I don't care what our history is. If
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: that didn't happen, I'm gonna be like, what the hell
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: are you talking about? Nah, we agreed on this. I'm
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: not gonna be like I'll call you later because I'm
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: feeling like this is a setup right here. As soon
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: as you text me this, I'm gonna feel a little
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: and nobody's just gonna respond.
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: I'll call you that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: He can be like, what the hell are you talking about?
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: We both agree to that, you know, like, but this
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: is part of the game. Like nobody's gonna respond with that,
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: which scares me. But like charlotmade said, shut the f up,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: let it. Let the facts play out in court, because
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: right now all this talking is doing too much.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: Audio and it's making it worse.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: You're manipulating me. Like even that would have been like, oh, nah, okay,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I see what this is. You know what I'm saying.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: But wouldn't you have.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Changed that right from the door? Yeah, Like what are
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: you talking about? Like no, no, no, like, like, let's
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: not pleas can were you taping me? Because last night
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: we was good with this, Like my opinion.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Well, his attorney is saying that these text messages all
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: only show that the woman in question likes and asks
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: for fantasy role playing in other forms of unusual sexual behavior,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: and they shut down the idea that you know, they're
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: still denying any sexual sort allegations or anything that nature.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: I did reach out to Attorney Busby though, because that
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: audio we listened to it wasn't in full. It was
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: like a minute, a little bit over a minute. I'm like, yo,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: why would you only release that? And he said to me,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: he said, I'm not trying this case in the press.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: We released this only because Shannon Sharp's lawyer chose to
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: attempt to discredit in docs Jane Doe by releasing multiple
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: texts with no contexts. Did they release the entirety of
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: the text surrounding the ones from yesterday, which were the
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: original text in his In Shannon Sharp's statement, the audio
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: is very clear of the situation.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: It speaks for itself.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: So I know one thing, if you're fifty four, you
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: have no reason to be talking to a nineteen year old.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: She's twenty two. Now Shannon is fifty six. I'm so
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: glad that audio monique went viral yesterday because it's true
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: sit your old down and go find somebody your age
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: and build a family with them. As I said yesterday, men,
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: we need stability and we need D discipline, Right.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: You gotta have D discipline.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: But if he does not want because some people don't
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: want families, they're not built for that, just try somebody
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: in age bracket.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's it, because he apparently he already tried that,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, the family thing or whatever.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he just needs somebody his age.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Has she seen all seasons of a wire?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Excuse me?
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: She didn't.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Does she know any scarface albums?
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: You don't even know what the hell it is? What
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: it is mean? She said, what does that even mean?
• 26:41
  Speaker 13: Like she said that, like that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: Would have made me head up in black ten years
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: old than me.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: I got a six teen yearld daughter. I can't even
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: imagine having that conversation.
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: You know what, you know, I have a twenty three
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: year old daughter.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Like that's crazy.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: And this girl looks young, she looks she looks like
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: she's on campus at University of Miami or like she
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: looks young young.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Well, we got to wrap up. We did have the
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: money audio, but we do have to wrap up. So
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, this is all the updates so far
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: in this situation. And I will say too, they said
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: that they were surprised that they were in the middle
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: of the mediation and then the lawsuit dropped, So I
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: don't know if that's why they're responding so frantically and
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: not making sense about their responses.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so any.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: Conclusion and middle of mediation to put out a press
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: release that ye're looking to sign a deal for one
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: hundred million dollars, but not because if I'm in the
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: middle of mediation, I hear you about to sign a
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: one hundred million dollars deal.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: What are you gonna do?
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna pull out and wait for you get
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: that deal, and I'm gonna ask for more money.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: If that's the case, I have not seen a team
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: handle something so poorly in a long time.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: The wish Shannon and his team are hands crazy.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: All right, All right, well, thank you for the ladies

• 28:20
  Speaker 11: All right, well, let's start in Florida where GOP rep
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: Byron Donald's got an earful at a town hall earlier
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: this week. The crowd wasn't shy about pressing him on
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: the Trump administration and its controversial plans for the.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: Department of Government efficiency.
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: He was asked, as a member of the Oversight Committee,
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: what oversights was he proposing on Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: Let's hear what he had to say.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: I love how everybody shouting at meat.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: The black guy on Stags with Michael Bonner said saying,
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: how do.
• 28:47
  Speaker 13: You reading this day?
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Don't wife?
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: And what I don't do that? Don't Mark, don't do that?
• 28:59
  Speaker 13: Buns.
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: So that was his response to the crowd asked him
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: about Dee I and about his pushback.
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: So he pushed back and told.
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: The crowd that as a black man, don't talk to
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: him about diversity, equity, and inclusion. But then when he
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: was he was talking about Elon Musk and Donald Trump,
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: the crowd had some booze and some other things.
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: So let's hear what he had to say about that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: The direction of the President of the United States.
• 29:26
  Speaker 16: If you were talking about what Overside is doing, we
• 29:29
  Speaker 16: actually left the Those.
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: Committee.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: The Those Department actually finishes work.
• 29:36
  Speaker 13: What they are examining right now is an deficiency in
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: a federal assistant. This is something that President we wanted
• 29:42
  Speaker 13: to do with President.
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: So therefore he was not The crowd wasn't happy during
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: this town hall. They were trying to get Byron.
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: To answer questions about Doge, about the Trump administration, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: the crowd in Florida, of all places, they really gave
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: him a hard time. Dozens of people left after voicing
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: their frustration with his answer. Now, Donald's is also running
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: for governor of Florida in next year's election.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: Listen, maybe people are out here hurting. So if the
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: economy is bad, people are gonna be mad. And if
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: you voted for Trump or you endorsed Trump. Like you know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: Byron Donalds did, people are going to hold you accountable
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: like that pain they're feeling in their pocket. They're gonna
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: project that pain onto you.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: So you got it.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: You know, Byron got to stay in ten told now
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: on his decision.
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: And he's the face of it right now. So if
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: you're holding a town meeting, you are the face of
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: their frustration.
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: So and speaking of abdulgent Elon Musk, Elon Mus said
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: he will take a step back from his work as
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: leader of the Department of Government Efficiency.
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: He made the announcement on a call with investors yesterday.
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: He said he will continue to spend a day or
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: two per week on government issues for as long as
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: the president will have him.
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: But this announcement comes after a tough year for Tesla.
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: The company's stock is down forty percent this year, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: earlier this week, it warned investors about the biggest drop
• 31:03
  Speaker 11: in sales history revenue for the first quarter, it fell
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: seventy one percent compared to the same time of last year.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: I wonder if that's gonna I don't think that's gonna
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: work for Elon.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: And the reason I don't think that's gonna work for
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: Elon is because he has chosen a side.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: He's chosen a political worldview.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: So the only thing, only way I think it's gonna
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: work for Testla if he steps down.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Period.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: Definitely, he's definitely going have to step downcause people don't
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: want to drive Teslas anymore, and not necessarily because it's
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: not a good call, because it's actually a really good vehicle.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Because of Elon and his politics.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: But not only that, but when I'm driving around the
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: city and people are smearing dog poop on your car,
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: or it's because politics, they're giving your middle fingers, they're
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: flattening your tires.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Do you want to deal with because of and his politics?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: So it's like, no, I don't want to deal with it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: So I'm not gonna buy a Tesla When you got
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: people that's that's protesting outside of teslas, I don't want
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: to pull up there. If I drive one, I know
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna face consequences if I leave it on the street.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: We've loft this job because of els went in there
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: and slashed all those federal jobs. So when they see
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: those Teslas, the same thing with bids that Tesla represents,
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: Elon must correct so yes, the Elon Muskin is politics.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: The only way things going to bounce back to the
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Tesla is if Elon must steps down to CEO.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Agree with Teria.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 32:10
  Speaker 11: So President Trump's hiss approval rating it is dipping. It
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: is at forty two percent, which is the lowest since
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: he has returned to office.
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: This is according to a new Reuter's pull.
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: The drop comes after more Americans express concern over his
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: efforts to expand his presidential power, and the poll found
• 32:26
  Speaker 11: discomfort with Trump's push to punish liberal universities, his attempt
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: to appoint himself board of the chair of the Kennedy
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: Senator Now a large majority eighty three percent said the
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: president must follow federal court rulings even if he disagrees
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: with them. Fifty seven percent said it's not okay to
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: withhold federal funding based on political views, including that includes
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: one third of Republicans. Now, his approval rating was underwater
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: nearly in every issue, including immigration and faith, inflation, and
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: the rule of law.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: Three out of four respondents said Trump should not seek
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: a third term.
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: Something that is that the constitution bars, but he's been
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: floating anyway, and even among Republicans fifty three percent say
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: no to a third term, and fifty nine percent of
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: Americans say that we are losing credibility on the global
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: under global under his leadership on the global.
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: Economy, and it hasn't been one hundred days. Listen, you
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: can't have a bad economy and authoritarian rule.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Okay. If the economy was woman, people might let you
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: get the authoritarian rule.
• 33:28

  Speaker 8: My good sister, longtime friend, Debbie.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Brown is back here.
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: Good morning, the morning y'all.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, how you feel on book publishing day?
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: I feel free?
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel so free. I've had a lot of
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: anxiety for the last few weeks. Wow, I know what's
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: like you know that creative birthing and like there's a
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: lot of like vulnerable stories in it, and you're like,
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: did I do that? Should I have done this? But yeah,
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: now I just feel free. It's here, it's done. I'm
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: proud of it. I feel great.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Living in Wisdom A Path to embodying your authentic self,
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: embracing grief and developing self mastery.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: Tell us about that title, being a healer, being someone
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: that has been on their own spiritual journey for decades,
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: and being a teacher. I found that, you know, those
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: are the three things that really give you a feeling
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: of a well lived life. You know, when we're looking
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: for healing, or when we're looking for self actualization or
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: self awareness, all the things whatever we're looking for when
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: it comes time to grow, it's like, ultimately we're looking
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: to be the embodiment of our authentic self, to get
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: past the performance of like who we say we are
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: and actually get to the core. And then all of
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: being alive is to have grief a part of that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: You know, every day there grief, and whether it's losing someone,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: which I'm sure all of us have or will because
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: that's what it is to be here, or it's you know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: the daily grief of bearing witness to everything that's happening.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: Finding a way to embrace that grief is a part
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: of what it is to be human is I think
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: a really powerful shift in our growth and then walking
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: a path of self mastery, like looking to always not
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: necessarily like be better or prove things, but to just
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: deepen in what you already are, like Mastery isn't perfection.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Mastery is like the slow process of excellence of self,
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: you know, and only we kind of know what that
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: process is inside.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: I want to go back for people that don't know
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: Debbie's been here a long time ago. But for people
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: that don't know who Debbie Brown is, I want to
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: start from the beginning. If you don't know, Debbie was
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: a successful radio personality, one of the media personalities, and
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: at the top of her game decided she didn't want
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: to do it anymore. It wasn't like she was pushed out.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: It wasn't like she had bad ratings. She just said,
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: you know what, I don't want to do it anymore.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Top of a game.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: Uh, And then she started going on this healing journey
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: that Debbie was out in the clubs. She might have
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: got into a brawl tool, but we're not going to
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: go there. I'm talking about no idea Debbie Brown, and
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: I don't unders.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: That it was done.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: It was just this is a healing journey. So I
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: want to a rebirth of rebirth. I want to go
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: to for people that don't know what made you say,
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: you know what? This industry is not for me. I
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: want to give this up. You were doing radio, you
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: were doing different markets, you just had a baby and
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: just said it's.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: At the top of your game. How did you go
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: from a woman in radio to just like, no, I'm
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: done with it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: First of all, I just have to say, and y'all
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: know this, Like, to me, radio is one of the
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: most incredible sacred ways to broadcast, because like you're really
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: in someone's head and body when you talk right like
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: they connect to you with their whole being. It's I've
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: always found it to be like a sacred responsibility that
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: makes you good at like everything else. I realized that
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: my purpose was evolving, and I realized that a lot
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: of the skills that I was amassing, like communication, connecting
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: with people, building community, I just kept getting very very
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: clear direction from God that I was meant to do
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: it differently and use it differently. And I felt like
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: I personally was going through so much Like while I
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: was still on the radio for many years, I was
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: like kind of secretly quietly getting certifications and like meditation
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: and breath work and spiritual psychology, like it was such
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: a huge part of my off the air life. And
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: I felt like, at least at that time because I
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: left the industry maybe almost ten years ago. At that time,
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: there was no blending of the two, you know, And
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: I was having situations where I was having wanting to
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: have these deeper layered conversations, and you know, I was
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: being told by the people I worked with, like, no
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: one wants to hear that. Like now we can't run
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: that on the air, Like ask more questions about dating,
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: ask questions about beef fast, you know, and for whatever reasons,
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: it's like what I had to give and what I
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: felt God wanted me to give, it was not valued
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: at the time.
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: But you're so ahead of your time and now it's okay.
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: Now people are vulnerable. Would you see yourself coming back
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: to doing radio. I love radio because you were so
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: ahead of your time. Now we have those conversations and
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: it's not even the thing we talk about that people
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: are vulnerable.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: It seems normal almost.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: She got the Deeply Well podcast.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Black Effect Network.
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: And you know the interesting thing about Dev and I
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: want people to notice, like I met Dev and I
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: think O seven oh seven O eight the person Dev
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: is now she's always been. This is just to me
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: an evolution of who you've always been. You've always been
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: the same one in the room, you know, the one
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: in the room that people can go to for sound advice,
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: the leader in the room saying, hey, let's go do this.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: We should be doing this. Like I've always felt that
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: in you. I've always seen that.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Why you don't work here if you have order? She
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: was swayst co host for Oh No, I'm saying why
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: she don't work here at Fair east Side.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: iHeart dog.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Y'all when it comes to healing the way y'all have
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: been healing in this room, I am just so impressed
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: and inspired. There have been some beautiful, transparent conversations.
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but you I love the chapter fifteen because we're
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: talking about that in a way healing accept.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, talk why that's important that you have to healing
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: and accept.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: You know, this is the thing about healing, right. And
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: I've worked in wellness and well being for over a
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: decade now, and I work with clients directly, I do workshops,
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: I run retreats. I've had a lot of access to
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: studies and data all around healing, around trauma, around all
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: of it. And I found, you know, from my own
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: journey and with others, it's like there's this misconception that
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: you work on yourself to eventually be rid of everything
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: that's ever happened to you, and that then your life
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: will be perfect. That you'll go to therapy, that you'll
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: do somatic exercises, that you'll meditate, and then one day
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: you're going to just like everything in life is going
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: to feel so happy. That's not God's design, right, Like,
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: no feeling is more holy than the other. God wants
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: us to know and experience and feel in real time
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: everything that crosses our path. And that means grief, that
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: means joy, that means you know, jealousy sometimes anger that
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: means fear. It's like all of it is part of
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: the human experience, and so when it comes to healing
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: a huge part of it is also accepting that the
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: past can't change. For some of us, that can feel heartbreaking, right,
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: Like a lot of things have happened to so many
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: of us, so hundreds of millions in your life that
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: didn't get your consent. Maybe that you've never uttered aloud,
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: you know. Sometimes we carry things and we're thinking about
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: and ruminating and thought our whole life about the things
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: that have hurt us. And I think it's important for
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: people to know. It doesn't mean you're broken or deficient
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: or not healed because you still remember those things. It's
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: really about changing the way you relate to them. Some
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: things will absolutely never change, but when heal, it really
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: gets transmitted into wisdom where it doesn't feel like this hard, full,
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: painful charge inside of your body. Every time that memory
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: comes up, you're able to kind of look at it
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: from an observer's standpoint and be like, that happened, and
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: that really hurt, and God, that was hard. And I
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: have respect for what I've been through. I have self
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: respect for who I am and what I've moved myself through.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Hi, we got more with Debbie Brown when we come back.
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: Her new book, A Living in Wisdom, A Path to
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: Embodying your authentic Self, embracing grief and developing self mastery,
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: is out right now.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: We have more of home when we come back. It's
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody.
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: It's DJ Envy, just hilarious, Charlamagne, Na, God we are
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: The Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Debbie Brown.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Now, when you talk about working on yourself, what does
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: that mean for people?
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: When people SA need to work on myself and then
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: they come back ten hours later. I worked on myself.
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: I'm healed.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: I'm healing. So what does so for somebody out there
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: that says, you know, I need to work on myself,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: what does that mean?
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: God, that's such a good question. And like that I'm
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: healed thing is so funny to me because people will
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: go to one therapy session and be like, Oh, I
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: did it, and it's like, actually, it takes eight to
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: twelve therapy sessions to have like a real you know,
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: cognitive breakthrough, or you know, you read one book and
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: it's like, yeah, yeah, I do this because this happened
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: to me and that's who I am. I think that's
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: self awareness. But when you're looking to work on yourself
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: to transcend your experiences, there's a difference. Like Instagram has
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: given us so much language, a lot of people are
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: using it to manipulate.
• 43:43
  Speaker 15: Now.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I hate the language when it's used the wrong way.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I hate it.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I know, like it bothers the ish out of me.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it drives me nuts because it's dangerous. Like to
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: be clear, it's dangerous people using certain mental health language
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: that haven't done the work, that don't know the work.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: It's a manipulation tactic. It can be very harmful for people,
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: can be very narcissistic. None of those things are like devoid.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: In the spiritual or the mental health space, all that
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: same stuff still exists. But when it comes to like
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: working on yourself, I think at the base level, it's
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: noticing how do you feel when it's just you with you,
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: If there is anything inside of you that feels unmet, unexpressed, unheard,
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: If there's anything inside of you where you feel anxiety,
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: there is a charge in your chest, or there is
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: a rejection or a cringe. Those are things to notice
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: because it's information that maybe something wants to rise to
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: the surface for your review. And I think when we're
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: working on ourselves, it's really about being willing to look
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: at the truth.
• 44:40
  Speaker 16: Of what is.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: It doesn't have to be perceived as positive or negative,
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: it's just what is true right now, and then being
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: honest with yourself about it.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: Well, talk about some of the mental health and mental
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: health things that you've been talking about that I feel
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: have been commercialized to a point where people are using
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: these terms but they don't really mean it right, So.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: Talk about that a little about to make dev go off?
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: Now, Yeah, no, I want to talk about it, you know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: because it really bothers me because I hear people using
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: these terms, and I'm sure they don't even know what
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: these terms mean, right, Like you say, somebody, you just
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: gas lit me, And I feel like sometimes it actually
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: stops a conversation because sometimes when people hear those words,
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: they automatically say, oh, I ain't that I'm not talking
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: about that, especially in a workplace where you can't have
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: a normal conversation if somebody says something, because now when
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: you hear those terms, that also comes after human resources,
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Yeah, I mean there's just so much, and I
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: think people should really do like a lot of deeper
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: layers of research, right Like I think the Internet is
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: phenomenal in that the last five years, our consciousness has
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: raised so much since the pandemic because we have had
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: access to understand Hey, a lot of people have experienced trauma,
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: or a lot of people have experienced life frictions or
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: you know, deeply challenging relationships. But everyone is stopping at
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: like one graphic, right Like they're stopping at reading one
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: thing or asking chat GPT one question and then they
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: leave it there, you know, and it's like, so I
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: think a lot of terms like understanding, like a lot
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: of people are overusing the term like narcissist or narcissism right,
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: not getting your way with someone or someone kind of
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: even being self focused, Like every single person alive has
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: some layer of narcissistic behavior. That's part of like the
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: human expression too, it's some self focus. But narcissistic abuse
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: is something entirely different. And those that have experienced understand,
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: like you get CPTSD from it, You get PTSD from it,
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: you have changes in your body, your health decreases, like
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: it is a psychological warfare that is insidious and can
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: dramatically change the trajectory of your life. Now, if that
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: level of feeling isn't really happening to you, it may
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: not be narcissistic abuse, you know. And so I think
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: we just need to go deeper into the layers of
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: the things that we're learning. And I will say people
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: that misuse language or use it as tools of avoidance
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: typically those are the people that usually are on the
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: other side and fit the other kind of definitions for
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: those things.
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: One thing you told me one time that makes so
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: much sense, And I love the fact that you give
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: so many actual examples of how to.
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: Do it in the book.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: You told me that when it comes to the language,
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: you can have the language and know what it is
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: you're dealing with. But a lot of people avoid the
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: actual healing, the healing work. So if you read the book,
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of different exercises that can walk you
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: through that actual healing process.
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: Why do you think, you know, people forget the healing
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: part once.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: They go to therapy because it's hard, you know, And
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: I think it and that's the thing that I really
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: speak to very clearly in my book. It's like, all
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: of this is hard. There is no tip or trick
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: to heal from challenging experiences, right, Like, I'm not going
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: to tell you, all right, do this five minutes every day. Yes,
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: five minutes every day will build your capacity, but you
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: need to stretch past the five minutes to devote actual
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: real time to the changes you want to see in
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: your life. And so, you know, something I talk about
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: in the book is like, there's a huge difference between
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: having self awareness and having higher consciousness or being embodied
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: in your self awareness. Self awareness is having the terms.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: It's going to a couple therapy sessions perhaps or reading
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: a bunch of self help books and saying like this
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: is what happened, and this is why I act like this,
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: and this is why this is this. But it doesn't
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: mean you're changing any of it, right, Like, it doesn't
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: mean you're taking it to the next step to behave
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: differently or to invite in different experiences with people. And
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: that comes through practice, that comes through process. And so
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: in this book I talk about a lot like how
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: to Get out of your Way. A lot of people
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: have a lot of sophisticated language around avoiding themselves. You
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: can avoid yourself with anything. You can avoid yourself with therapy.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: You're seeing the same therapist for ten years, and nothing
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: in your life changes what's going on in there, you know,
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: or you know, I see a lot of people avoid
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: themselves with religion. You can be a part of a church,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: you can go there on Sundays and you can still
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: not know God, you can still not make better choices. Right.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: It is daily practice. It is showing up in your
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: interpersonal relationships. It is having the hard conversations in real
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: time as they come up, and just being present with
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: all of it without expectation. You know, without trying to
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: control it or make it go your way. And so
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: in the book, we have a lot of practices like
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: I teach meditation in the book, we work with mutras
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: in the book, which are hand positions that can really
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: elevate your meditation practice because your hand positions open different
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: energy channels in your body. There is breath work that
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: can be done in the book, and every single one
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: of those practices anchors in the changes that you want
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: to experience because it shows you how to regulate when
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: you do get triggered, when you do have charge, and
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: so both are needed. You have to have the cognitive
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: and you have to have the somatic. You have to
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: have the spiritual, you have to have the physical. All
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: of it kind of beautiful goes together.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: Hi, We have more with dev Brown when we come back.
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: A new book, Living in Wisdom, a Path to embody
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: and your authentic self, embracing grief and developing self mastery
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: is out right now.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: We'll be back as the Breakfast Club.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: Good morning and warning everybody is the ej Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne,
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: the God we are to Breakfast Club is still kicking
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: it with deVie Brown, Charlamagne.
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: Why is meditation is so important?
• 50:22
  Speaker 13: Oh my god?
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: You know, and I think in some other maybe wisdom traditions,
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: some people might relate to it if you call it
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: reflection or if you call it moments for contemplation, But
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: meditation is the master healer because it gets you out
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: of your identity. And our identity is almost one hundred
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: percent made from like all of the culturally created beliefs
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: that we have, or our beliefs from our family of origin,
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: or you know, the things that we're influenced by via society.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: And so when you're able to get out of all
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: those extra layers of like what your titles are, you know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: what the role you play. I'm a husband, I'm a wife,
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: I'm a someone's child, brother, sister, friend. When you take
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: yourself out of all of that, you actually get to glimpse,
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: like what am I designed to be? What was God's
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: intention for me of me before I fit into anybody's
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: box or any relationship. And so the thing about meditation,
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: and I really want to share this, you know, I
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: believe in trauma informed practice, and it's a little bit
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: different to hold that space within the healing community than
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: if you're not. It's recognizing that a lot of people
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: will have barriers to almost every healing modality that comes
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: up because of some of the things that they may
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: have experienced. So in meditation, you're going through so many layers,
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: and the first time you try, the first several times
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: you try, it could be so hard and frustrating and
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: anger inducing and irritating to sit down and be still,
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: and it could bring up everything and make you feel
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: like you're failing at it, and then you want to
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: stop and then let me go do things I'm actually
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: good at.
• 51:56
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: That is literally me.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is I feel like I'm missing out on
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: doing something, or I can be doing this with this time,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: or it's not working. It's like, so I grow to
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: be frustrated when I try to meditate. Man, so I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: just need smoking and that. Yeah, well I mean that too.
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: Smoking to meditate is like a great little collaboration and
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: yoga and stretching. But I'm so glad you said that
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: because I think that is almost everyone's response, but especially
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: if you have been through hard things. And what I
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: want everyone to know is that phase passes, and that's
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: part of what doing the work is, right. It's being
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: patient with yourself and witnessing yourself, especially when you don't
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: want to do it and it's saying like God, I'm
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: sitting here and I hate this, this is stupid. I
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: don't want to do this. Breathe, breathe, Okay, Okay, we'll
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: release open your body like you start meeting those feelings
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: with things that harmonize that experience for you. But eventually
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: the level you're aiming for is like higher and higher consciousness.
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: Higher consciousness means a greater ability to be what you
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: are designed to be on earth and to also extend
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: love and goodwill and compassion and power and influence to
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: others for the higher good of all concerned.
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: You also, you dedicated your book and I'm probably gonna
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: pronounce her name wrong to my Hascal May Haskell May Haskal,
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: And I didn't know who that was until I went
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: to go look it up. And she was a young
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: woman who was dismembered and encino. What made you want
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: to dedicate the book to her? And you said, I
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: pray you are free.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: I have to be really careful talking about this because
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: the trial hasn't begun yet.
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: Gotcha.
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: She was a beautiful woman. I had the privilege and
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: the pleasure of meeting when my son started kindergarten and
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: our boys were friends. And so my son is in
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: first grade. So this just happened last year. And you know,
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I'm sure the parents listening, Like, when your kids are
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: in kinder like, you're still very connected to the other families,
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: right because the kids can't communicate on their own, So
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: you're creating the play dates. You guys are getting together
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: for all the birthday parties, like you are seeing each
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: other almost seven days a week. She was the mother
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: of this sweet, beautiful little boy that was in class
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: with my son and two other sons. And her husband
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: is currently incarcerated for allegedly murdering her and her parents.
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: And her body was completely dismembered. Her head was taken,
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: her limbs were taken and not recovered. Her parents were dismembered,
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: and then their bodies were dispersed in the trash cans
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: in my neighborhood. There are whorors in this world.
• 54:49
  Speaker 19: You know.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: I dedicated my book to her for so many reasons,
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: but it's really just like if someone takes your whole family,
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: who remembers you, you know, like I want wanted to
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: just honor the fact that she was here, that she
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: was alive, and that I will be thinking about her
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: every day of my life.
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: Living in wisdom, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, Debbie Brown is
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: out today. I got a lot more questions. I just
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: don't know where I do.
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: Well, okay, Wosa, Yeah? Does everybody need to have a purpose.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: I think everybody does have a purpose. I think what
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: we get wrong is that purpose has to be quantified
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: by something, or that it has to make money, you know.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: I think, just like so many words are being appropriated
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: right now within mental health, I think other words are
• 55:35
  Speaker 5: being used for performance, for really self validation sometimes or ego.
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: Right like you hear people, well my purpose is this
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: or you know what's my purpose? And it's just another
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: thing that you are kind of mispouring yourself into. Purpose,
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: in my belief, is simply your lived experience and the
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: wisdom you've bleaned from it. It's the skills you've amassed
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: in any and everything you could have ever done. It's
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: your innate gifts, you know, the things that you have
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: that God gave you, and it's then using it to serve,
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: putting it back into service for others and so you know,
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: it's like I could say my purpose is talking, right,
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: because I was a broadcaster for years, I lead meditation,
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: I communicate all the things. But really, like I look
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: at my purpose as like being able to be in
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: darkness with people. You know, I think my life's greatest
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: purpose is the fact that, like I'm not afraid of
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: the dark and I can be in darker moments and
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: not recoil with other people, that I can hold space
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: for that. And I think, you know, that may not
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: be the most glorious purpose. It's not the thing that's
• 56:39
  Speaker 5: maybe going to land me on a billboard, but it's
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: the thing that, like God trained me for. It's the
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: thing that my life has bloomed into.
• 56:47
  Speaker 18: And I love it.
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: I love that. I love how you break that down.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: And also you spoke to how people over use words
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: because half the time people don't even know how to
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: answer that question, well, what is your purpose?
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Like me, I still don't know what my purpose is.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm grateful for the woman that I'm becoming
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: in my spiritual growth and everything, but I still don't
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: know what my purpose is.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: And what if it's not just one thing, you know
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: what I meaningly.
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: And that's the thing.
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: It's not.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not, you know, and like it's okay.
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: If finding your purpose takes your whole life, Yes, it's
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: the point of being alive. Like why do we think
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: we have to move so quickly through everything? That's the
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: validation piece, right, Like that's the wanting to be seen
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: in it or celebrated for it. But like if it's
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: your life's work, it is supposed to take your whole life.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Because my mother in law, my husband's mother, she literally
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: just told me she just found out where her purpose is,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: and that is to take care of like to oversee
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: her granddaughter. I just gave her a beautiful granddaughter, her
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: very first grandchild. And that's what she said, holding a
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: baby like a few months ago. Oh, I know what
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: my purpose is now is to be here with my
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: family and to take care of my family. Because she
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: was living out the country for decades.
• 58:02
  Speaker 9: That him, that's him. You started.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: This moment, don't They're trying to say, I try to
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: she came, don't have nothing, She came over here to
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: take care of my child. Every day they joke about
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: her being Yes, literally, you know.
• 58:35

• 58:38

• 59:57
  Speaker 4: cancer free, stage one breast cancer.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Let's take a while.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 20: I'm doing great, cancer free, feeling great, and just feeling
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 20: very incredibly blessed that, you know, God allowed me to
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 20: find that early.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 21: I struggle with whether I would share that journey because
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 21: I'm very private, but I decided to share it because
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 21: I think it's a lot of lessons in it for
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 21: other women. I wanted to make sure that they knew
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 21: how important it is not to slack on your mammograms
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 21: because you don't have to let this. I mean you,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 21: we can ah catch cancer at stage one, it's even
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 21: stage zero. I didn't know that there was a stage zero.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 21: I could have caught this at stage zero if I
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 21: had not missed my mammogram, but I did because of
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 21: COVID and as a result, it was stage one.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: It could have been stage zero.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: So you have to go get your mammograms.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: Well, God bless Unless you was able to catch it
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: early man.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: And I love to hear when when people talk about
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: their journey right, because sometimes people forget or they don't
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: talk about it enough, like, yeah, missed us, but she
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: was able to catch us four years later. Even with
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: Charlemage myself talking about colonoscopies. People need to go to
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: the doctor. You need to get checked out because you
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: need to catch it before it gets worse, you know.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: And I remember there used to be like an age
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: requirement for you used to have to wait to your
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: forty to get a mammogram.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: Now you can get it like in your twenties.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 8: And I'm sure if you've got a history in your family,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: they probably encourage you to go get it earlier.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: So I definitely encourage and there's a young woman to
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: get them too.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: There another way. I thought there was another way of
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: doing a mammogram. I know there's one way.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: The women actually splashed down. Yeah, but then there's another
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: way to show us you don't even.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Have I wish there was another way though, like they
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: didn't have to like they have all the stuff. Yeah,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: maybe he was holding here.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 22: I was.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 6: That was awkward, you know, just want to put it
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: in the machine or they keep it all awake when
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 6: they do that. So it's not like.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: They said herts is painful her, Yes, it is painful.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: Did knock you out? You're like, we're awake, but like.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: They like put pressure, they knock you off, put.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: You to sleep. Lets you unless you want to be awake,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: have to sleep?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 13: Was quick?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: You know they put you to sleep.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: You knocked out?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's over my physical today.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: I cannot say that.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: I can say that talking about prostate exams, but you.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: Can't say that ridiculous. But I'm going today.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I know you.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 9: Just want to be texted.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Went through? Why is having to.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: That's the case?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: Well, she's so, Miss Sena knows is promoting her book Matriarch,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: So she has been talking or releasing a lot of
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: the you know, different exscerpts from the book. And in
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: one of the the passages, she actually talks about uh,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: Beyonce and jay Z and how Beyonce chose to be
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: with jay Z because she says, at the time, Beyonce
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: was actually dating another guy and.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: It was like really serious.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: But at the same time she had started dating jay
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Z and Beyonce came to her she was dating she
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: wasn't in a relationship.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: She was just dating. And she came to Messina and.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: Was like, I don't know what to do because at
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: this point, like the I think both the guys that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: came into Houston, at one point, she was like, I
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: need to make a decision.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: So Messina was like, well, how do you feel?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: And she was like, I already knew what was jay
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: Z for her, and when they talked about it, it
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: was him, and that's where she decided to go. And
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: she was like, you know, they were young, just talking
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: on the phone, barely getting to spend time with each other.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: He would come and do dinner at her house because
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: they couldn't go anywhere for real, and that's how the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: relationship developed early on. She also talked about y'all remember
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: back in twenty eleven, when Beyonce got pregnant with Blue Ivy.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: People were saying that she didn't deliver the baby. Yes,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Miss Tina for the first.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: Time talked publicly about how she felt going through all
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: of that because she was told not to say anything.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Let's say, listen, I want to talk about saying and
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: the impact I had on a family. He said specifically
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: about just the room.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 21: Yeah, what was that like to hear people say the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 21: most horrendous things and to call my whole family a lie,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 21: you know, because we would all have to be part
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 21: of that conspiracy and lie about something so sacred it was.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 21: It was one of the worst times in my life
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 21: because I couldn't say anything. My daughter was saying no,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 21: because you're just gonna make the story bigger, so don't
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 21: say anything.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: It's gonna go away.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 21: But it didn't go away for a long time. And
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 21: it's one of the most painful things for me to
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 21: know that that people could just be that disgusting and
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 21: people just get to lie and they don't have to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 21: suffer any consequences.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: I knew Beyonce would be telling miss Taining like don't
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: say nothing, but just imagine being the mother having to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: shut up and sit back and see because, like she said,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: they will all have to be a part of it, right, Yeah,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: And this is.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: What this girl wanted. That's what she wanted for a
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: while a long time, and y'all talking about this fate.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: She also got into details of like Beyonce and Jase's
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: wedding and talked about how they had to do it
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: so private because again they didn't want it to get out,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: so they literally had to do it inside of a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: house and Miss Tina and Jay's mom cooked the food.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Like everything had to be so private, so sacred.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: She also, for the first time in this book, talks
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: about her split from mister Matthews and let me make
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: sure I get mister in there.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: So she She says that they were married in nineteen
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: eighty divorce in twenty eleven, but it was because he
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: was a really, really horrible cheater. He actually had a
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: baby within their marriage and that was like the last
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: straw fold.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: She said that, like.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: Two thousand and nine is when he had the baby
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: on her. But before that he would do some crazy
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: things when they came to cheating, and she would take
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: them back every time because she kind of just couldn't
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: let it go. And then when that happened, she was like, Nah,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: I can't do this, and it actually thought about getting
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: together at some point, but she was like, she knew
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: that the girls would be upset at him.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: He has other kids outside of Beyonce and Solange. Yeah, no,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: where that baby, the baby that he had, it's it's uh,

• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: and Solan. She has Nixon, Alexander Knows and Cooy Michael Knows.

  Speaker 4: And it's all about miss Tina's life and not just
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: Beyonce and Solange and that, but really about her life,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: her upbringing. She talks about, you know, watching her brother
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: almost get killed by the cops at one point, and
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: just yeah, it's a lot that you learned about her
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: and watching her talk throughout the interviews too.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 7: Matthew Knows. Mister Matthew Knows is not doing any interviews
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: anymore because he doesn't like when people talk about his
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: personal life, like they put questions not to ask and
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: how could you not ask these questions.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: When you know Tina Knowles talks about the Missina Knows.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: Talks about it and what else is we going to
• 1:06:54

  Speaker 13: Soon?
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 16: Now?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 8: Sexy red donkey today for Wednesday, April twenty third goes
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 8: to the US Department of Education, who under the Trump
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 8: administration announced on Monday that they will resume debt collections
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 8: for federal student law and borrowers who have defaulted on
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 8: their debts. So millions of borrows are at risk of
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 8: having federal payments are portions of their salaries without in
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 8: the coming months because the White House said it can
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: and will take borrowers wages, pensions, and tax refunds.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 6: Let's go to KAA NBC five for the report Please.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 23: Major whiplash for millions of federal student loan holders. For
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 23: the first time in five years, the Department of Education
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 23: will start collecting restart collecting, that is, federal student loans
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 23: in default. Student loans go into default after two hundred
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 23: and seventy days without any payment. The Trump administration said
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 23: in a statement quote, there will not be any mass
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 23: loan forgiveness.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 12: The Trump administration has announced we will put an end
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 12: to Joe Biden's illegal loan bailout attempts.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 23: Loans have been on pause since March of twenty twenty
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 23: because of COVID nineteen. The Biden and Harris administration even
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 23: tried to cancel the debts.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 6: Of millions of borrowers.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 23: Now, the Trump administration says the previous administration did not
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 23: have authority to cancel that debt, and it will start
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 23: collections as soon as May.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 12: Fifth debt cannot be wiped away. It just ends up
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 12: getting transferred to others. So why should Americans who didn't
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 12: go to college or went to college responsibly paid back
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 12: their loans pay for the student loans of other Americans.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: I didn't go to college, so I don't have student
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 8: loan debt, so this won't impact me. But that doesn't
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 8: mean I'm not gonna care about this, Okay. The reason
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 8: I care about this is because I care about people,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 8: all right.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: Period. It doesn't matter what your financial situation is.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 8: If you live in a country where people are barely
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 8: getting by, that is not gonna make for a pleasant society.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 8: Not to mention, working class people are a benefit to
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 8: our business. Okay, working class people who are listening to this.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 8: They're the ones who listen to the show every day.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: They are the people who buy books, they come to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: the comedy shows.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 8: They'll spend their harder money to be at the Black
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 8: Effect Podcast Festival they Saturday in Atlanta. And every working
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: class person in this country should be able to pay
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 8: their bills and have a little left over for recreation. Okay,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 8: they should have some money for leisure activities. And if
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 8: you're voted for Donald Trump because he promised to make
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 8: the economy better.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: You gotta be scratching your head right now. Okay.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 8: Donald Trump said he was gonna make the economy better
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: on day one. What all he's done so far is
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 8: cut federal programs that benefit working class people, put elon
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 8: muskin charge.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: To fire a bunch of federal workers.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 8: This half assed trade war that's going on, that's hurting
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 8: our wallets and four one K plans, and now the
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 8: White House is bringing more pain than millions of Americans
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 8: by restarting debt collection for student loan borrowers.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 6: Who have fallen into default.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 8: I hope that you all realize this is just politicians
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 8: playing with the lives of people again. Right I was
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 8: reading an op ed that Linda McMahon wrote in The
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 8: Wall Street Journal, and she blamed the Biden administration and
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 8: universities for making empty promises to students.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: While pocketing their loan dollars.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: She said, greedy colleges have profited massively from Biden era
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 8: forgiveness measures. When I read that, I said to myself, Oh,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 8: the American people once again have to suffer because of
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 8: this pissing contest between Democrats and Republicans.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 9: See.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: I hate when political parties do that.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 8: If Republicans do something that's good and benefit people, dim
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 8: should let it stand. If Democrats do something that's good
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 8: that benefits people, Republicans should let it stand. Linda McMahon
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 8: said colleges profit massively from Biden era forgiveness loans. Well,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 8: there are plenty of corporations, institutions, and people in the
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 8: Trump administration who profit massively from things y'all do too.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 8: I honestly don't care as long as the working class
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 8: people are getting some relief. When the rich get richer
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 8: and the poor don't get a devil damn thing.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: That's not good.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 8: But if the rich get richer, and people are able
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: to get some money in they pocket too so they
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 8: can live, that's a beautiful society.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 8: And I don't want to hear you idiots say no,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: they gotta pay these loans back. You can't get a
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 8: loan and not pay it back. Sure, but how come
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 8: there is never that sense of urgency to pay loans
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 8: back when it comes to these corporations.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 8: Two thousand and eight financial crisis, US government bailed out banks,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 8: AIG got one hundred and eighty two billion, City Group
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 8: got forty five billion in TART funds and hundreds of
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: billions in loan guarantees. Bank of America got forty five
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 8: billion through the TART program. Those were loans. Two thousand
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 8: and nine, Auto Industry GM got fifty billion in federal aid,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 8: Chrysler got twelve billion. GM filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: and had over thirty billion in debt wiped out. What
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: about during COVID Delta, United American Airlines OH got billions
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 8: in payroll support and loans. And my point is I
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 8: don't ever hear or see about these corporations getting pressure
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 8: to pay money back the way we are so quick
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: to do American citizens.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: Yes, I'm glad all.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 8: These institutions were able to stay afloat. We need those institutions.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 8: We need the airlines, we need the banks, but don't
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 8: we need the American people too? Is it really going
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: to hurt us as a country if we don't garnish
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 8: the wages of student loan borrows, if we don't take
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 8: from their pensions their tax refunds. Is it really going
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 8: to make or break us as a society if we
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 8: choose to simply let those folks be.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 6: For the time being.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 8: Why at a time like this, with the Department of
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 8: Education and the Trump administration be doing this because it's
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 8: not about what's right, it's about revenge.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: I'm not a Joe Biden fan. I think his legacy
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: is trash.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 8: But the student loan forgiveness that he provided was great, Okay,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: one of the better things on his resume. But Donald
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 8: Trump is hell bent on wiping his ass with Joe
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 8: Biden's resume. It's that simple, and we the people have
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 8: to suffer because folks have political scores to settle. Please
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: let me be ma give the US Department of Education
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: the biggest he hull he ha he ha.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 9: You stupid mother, Are you dumb?
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: That's what we said earlier. It makes no sense none whatsoever.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 18: They deserve that.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 7: All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day, Yes, ma'am.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 7: Now when we come back, Olyncia Johnson will be joining us.

• 1:14:24

• 1:15:17

  Speaker 6: to you got to the Way to Surviving.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.

  Speaker 8: I love the title of your book because I think that,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: you know, people don't ever expound on that part of
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 8: Jesus enoughing.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 18: You know what I mean that crank Jesus.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 8: Yes, flip the tables that every day disrupt this guide
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 8: to finding courage and making change?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 6: Break that title death.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, I'm glad you mentioned that reference. I'm
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 22: Pastor's daughter.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 18: I love that story of Jesus.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 22: And in all of my work, I've worked on a
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 22: lot of presidential campaigns, I've worked for a Planned parenthood.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 22: People constantly ask me, oh my goodness, how can I
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 22: make change? They think it has to be at this
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 22: massive scale. But what I realize is that when we
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 22: find the courage to really be ourselves and to live
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 22: in our truth, and to speak up and rooms and
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 22: do these small acts of disruption every single day, it
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 22: doesn't actually require folks to quit their jobs.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 18: And run for office. So I don't think a lot
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 18: of people should do that.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 22: It doesn't require us to be like doctor King or
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 22: you know, having these massive platforms which are really important.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 22: But there are things that folks can do every single day.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 22: And I found that getting connected to your individual purpose
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 22: and having the courage to be who you are is
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 22: directly connected to being an everyday disruptor that propels our
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 22: communities forward. And I think it's kind of divine that
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 22: it's such a time as this that it came out
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 22: when I started writing this book five years ago, and
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 22: who knew that it would come out three months after
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 22: a few months after Donald Trump was elected.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 6: Again, you worked on the VP's campaign, right, and you
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: do work? You worked with Barack, Yeah, I worked on
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: I worked by A.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 22: Lama's campaign, Jo Biden's campaign, was with Born's campaign and
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 22: Vice President Hair's campaign.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: What bothers me is, I know people like you exist
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 8: in people like you work for these individuals.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 6: Why aren't they disruptive enough? Why don't they flip tables?
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: Why do they? Why did they don't? Why don't why
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: don't they have the courage to disrupt the status quot
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: All of them, all of them.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 22: Well, you know, it's interesting because I don't I don't
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 22: want to say I look at well, I don't think
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 22: I look at all of them.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 18: In essence the same.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 22: In democratic politics and politics in general, elected officials, I
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 22: think tend to follow a certain path, right, and sometimes
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 22: it seems as though making sure that the status quo remains.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 22: I do think, if we step back a little bit,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 22: Barack Obama was a bit of a disruptor because him
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 22: because his ID, his identity, but and because he you know,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 22: folks told him he shouldn't have ran, and he and
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 22: he did. Right Now, there's a whole system at play
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 22: that folks. You know, when you become the president of
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 22: the United States or nominee for the President of the
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 22: United States, you know you uphold this party platform. But
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 22: the reality is I don't look at them to disrupt
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 22: what our country needs politically. I actually look at as
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 22: the people in the ground swell. Which is why it's
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 22: just as important. Yes, I work for a lot of
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 22: presidential campaigns, but just as important to work for these
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 22: local races, to work for these primary races, to work
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 22: for these governors races, all these people who are actually
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 22: trying to challenge the system and get more reflective folks
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 22: in position to actually push forward the policies who care about,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 22: like universal health care and racial justice and access to abortion,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 22: all those things. And so you know, it takes a
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 22: lot of courage to shake the table, and it takes
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 22: a lot of courage to concede that if you're going
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 22: to shake the table, you actually might lose in the
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 22: short term, but you're going to create a path for
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 22: other people to push forward that change, and it will
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 22: be a little bit easier because you were there and
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 22: you started something.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: How did you get into politics? What got you into
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: politics in that party?
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 22: Again, I think it was always in me. I talk
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 22: about my late grandmother in the book often. I actually
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 22: dedicate the book to her, Miss Ozella Bennett, and she
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 22: was one of those people who, much like a lot
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 22: of our ancestors, their names aren't history books, but they
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 22: were foot soldiers. My grandmother was in the church. I'm
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 22: the daughter pastor, so I grew up in the Black Church.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 22: And there's a lot of politics there, right, a lot
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 22: of social justice there, and just this understanding that were
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 22: much as given, much is required, that my gifts are
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 22: not my own, and that they are actually on loan,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 22: and that I actually have to get those out and
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 22: help the world around me.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 18: And my grandmother, no matter.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 22: How much she had or what she didn't have, she
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 22: always felt like she had to stand in the gap.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 22: And voting for me is just all I mean. I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 22: would go to with my parents, who the voting blu
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 22: that had that little sticker, But that was just like
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 22: one part of it. I had to be an active
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 22: participant in the world that I wanted to create, and
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 22: so for me, it was just kind of natural that
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 22: it would be a part of my life.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 18: Now, how I got to my position I talk about.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: In the book.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 22: I didn't know anybody in democratic politics when I moved
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 22: to DC. I was working a corporate job. I just
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 22: had a dream.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 18: I was like, Oh, this black man is president.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 22: I think I kind of want to work for his
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 22: reelection campaign and figured out how to network with folks
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 22: and ended up taking a job that I wasn't even
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 22: qualified for, but they took a chance on me, and
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 22: I figured it out from there. And I can't just
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 22: sit on the sidelines and critique something and not be
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 22: a part of it. And I also understand how engaging
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 22: if so many more of us engaged in the process,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 22: the outcomes will look different, our communities will look different.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 22: But for whatever reason, there are so many barriers for
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 22: us to engage. And that's another reason why I wanted
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 22: to be part of this, because I felt like, well,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 22: if I can do this and people can identify with me,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 22: maybe it won't feel as hard for me to engage
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 22: in politics. Maybe you know, I won't feel a shame
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 22: that I don't know every single term that they're using
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 22: or every single way that the policy is defiled.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 22: Sometimes when I have to go and see it MSNBC
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 22: and talk about something, I got a research what I'm
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 22: talking about because government class was in high school.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 18: I'm thirty seven years old. I don't remember everything.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 22: And so if I can't remember all these things, right,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 22: if I have to continue to inform myself, imagine all
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 22: the other people who are just scared to participate because
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 22: they don't know. It's not that they don't want to,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 22: and so I know that I have to be a
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 22: representative of that. But I also, again, is this calling
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 22: where much as given, much as required, and I'm required
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 22: to make my communities better.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: I think right now, with politics and like how we're
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: seeing people get messages out through like TikTok and stuff
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: Things are changing.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: And I saw an interview that you did where you
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: talked about you weren't the most qualified, but you were
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: the most recommended when it came to working for the Obamas.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: And then I saw another interview where you talked about
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: your red Flag is You chapter in your book, and
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: putting both of those together, I think that there's like
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: a renaissance of like new political leaders, but they're afraid
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: that they don't know enough for it, that they can't
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: challenge the trumps of the world, you know what I mean.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: So how do you speak to those leaders that are
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 4: coming up in this book? Because they're there, they just
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: need to figure out how to do what you did.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 22: No, they literally are there, which is why I start
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 22: the book with the disruption of self right. We actually
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 22: have to look in the mirror, and that's the hardest
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 22: thing to do. One thing that I've realized in working
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 22: and advocacy spaces and political spaces.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 18: I'm not controuble for saying this.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 22: But we're telling the world to treat us well and
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 22: to vote for us to enact these policies that see
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 22: us as worthy for humanity and all of these things
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 22: and fighting for justice, and yet we're not treating each
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 22: other well.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 18: A lot of that is because we are not healthy.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 22: We're not dealing with the things that are holding us
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 22: back from being who we are. We're not dealing with
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 22: this trauma, and we're doing this interpersonal harm that is
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 22: actually not allowing us to do the work that needs
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 22: to be done for communities. And so I put that
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 22: chapter the Red Flag is You and the Disruption of
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 22: Self section of the book because so many times we
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 22: are the ones that are getting in our own way.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 22: And that's why, you know, the only things stopping us. Sometimes, yes,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 22: there's the system, right like, there's all of that, and
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 22: yet at the same time, sometimes it's us getting in
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 22: our own way.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 7: I we have more with Alynsia Johnson when we come back.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 7: Her new book, Flip the Tables is out now. It's
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 7: the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 7: Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne, thea God. We are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 7: Laura Laarosa is here as well. We're still kicking with
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 7: Alynsia Johnson. Her new book flip the tables is out
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: right now, Lauren?
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: What about your because I know you did a lot
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: of work with planting parents who and now a lot
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 4: of what you were doing is they ain't supporting that.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: So when you do all this work, you stopped taking
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: the rest to fight to make it, to break this ground.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: And then you see this new administration come in who's
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: completely against it, and it's stripping all of that. You
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: feel defeated or like what happens now? Because you're not
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 4: there anymore?
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 22: No, I mean, and then they have the audacity to
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 22: talk about they want to put policies in place for
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 22: people to have more babies and give people five thousand dollars.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 22: I'm like, but y'all voted against the child tax credit.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 22: So what's interesting about working at Planned Parenthood? I worked
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 22: there for six years at the National Office, and talk
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 22: about disruptive, being the daughter of a pastor, a lover
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 22: of Jesus and advocating for abortion rights. People are like,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 22: how do you reconcile that? I was like, I just exist, literally,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 22: I just exist. And the teachings of Jesus, the ret
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 22: text in the Bible tells me a lot of ways
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 22: in which I should show up in the world. When
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 22: I look at when I was working at Plane Parenthood,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 22: President Obama was still in office, and I was like, oh,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 22: we're good.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 18: You know, he believes and reproductive freedom.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 13: This is great.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 18: And they're like, oh no, let's look at.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 22: These state policies and these states that are overturning the
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 22: right to access to abortion, not only access to abortion,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 22: but sex education, contraception, all of these things, and just
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 22: gutting healthcare systems and health centers that are helping people
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 22: who have nowhere else to go. When I look at
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 22: what's happening now at the federal level, and you know,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 22: the Trump administration is literally going after organizations like Planned Parenthood,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 22: it reminds me that these people do not care about
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 22: people at the margins. They do not care about low
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 22: income folks who have nowhere else to go. And if
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 22: you actually wanted people to have more children in this country,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 22: would you would actually support and bolster the healthcare system
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 22: instead of gutting it. Last week was Black Maternal Health Week,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 22: and Black maternal mortality is on the rise. Maternal mortality
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 22: across the country, across the demographics is on the rise.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 22: And the wealthiest nation and so it's challenging, it's frustrating.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 22: There's this Alice Walker quote I put at the beginning
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 22: of the book, and I'm paraphrasing it. You have to
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 22: keep a healthy soul on the face of constant of depression,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 22: which reminds you that at the end of the day,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 22: there's going to continuously be something that you're fighting for.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 22: So how do you maintain your spirit in order to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 22: keep going? And that is through the joy and the
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 22: rest and all of those things can coexist together while
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 22: you're also still fighting for the ability to have agency
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 22: over my body. The one thing I will say of
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 22: everything being burned down, from abortion access to everything that's
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 22: happening in our country, it gives us the opportunity to
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 22: build something better and something new. I don't want to
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 22: rebuild the old, because the old was clearly it was
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 22: able to be dismantled. I actually now want to be
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 22: able to imagine something even better that's actually going.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 18: To work, and how do we build that? And that's
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 18: actually what gets me up at night.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 22: I'm like, I'm not fighting these people to rebuild what
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 22: didn't work. I have this vision that excites me to
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 22: build something even better. Even on the days that are
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 22: hard and.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 18: That's too simple.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 8: Even going back to the urgency, and now when people
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 8: ask us now, they tell us all of these different
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 8: things that Trump is doing every single day, and they're like,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: what what do you think of that? And I'm like,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 8: I don't know what to think because I'm like, what
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 8: am I even supposed to do? Because it always seems
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 8: like the urgency is put on we the people, right,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 8: But then when these elected officials that we voted for
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 8: from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four, when they were
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 8: in the White House, they didn't govern with a sense
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 8: of urgency. That's what always gets me about Democrats. Whenever
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 8: it's election time, it's a sense of urgency. It's on y'all.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 8: It's just threat to democracy and you know you're gonna
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 8: lose all your rights and everything else. But you don't
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 8: govern like that when you get an office.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, it is frustrating.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 22: I will say, I don't pay attention to what that
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 22: man is doing all day every day, because then I'll
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 22: just sit in this place where I'm immobile. Right, But
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 22: I do look for small pockets of hope, and to
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 22: your point, it does end up being us that have
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 22: to save our own communities. But like I think that's
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 22: in general nature of who we are as a people,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 22: and that is community. I mean, look at you know,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 22: our friends who started State of the People, which I
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 22: was a part of, you all broadcasted and now it's going.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 18: Now there's a whole tour.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 22: Shout out to Angela Rye and Joy Read and so
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 22: many folks who are just building something beautiful, reminding us
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 22: of our power as community. And I think out of
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 22: that birth's people who will govern with urgency of now.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 22: So I write about Aana Presley in the book, but
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 22: I also write about Shirley Chisholm, who was just fed
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 22: up and was like, oh, I'm going to actually be
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 22: the one that changes.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 22: David Hogg, who was the vice chair of the DNC
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 22: but was a survivor of Parkland shooting. It's done all
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 22: of this activism and now he's challenging. He's getting a
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 22: lot of heat.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 9: He's getting a lot of heat.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 6: I have said that.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 8: I said that two months ago. Anybody who's not willing
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 8: to fight in the Democratic Party should be primary Kim Jeffries,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 8: Choke Schuma, y'all should resign.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 6: If y'all not the people that can meet this moment.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 8: I really feel that way, and anybody else in the
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 8: Democratic Party who's not willing to fight should be primary.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 6: I'm all full with David hag Doing. I said that
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 6: months ago, and.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 22: Listen, you know there are some people who disagree with that,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 22: but he said looks and change has. We can't just
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 22: keep talking about change. You gotta actually go after and
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 22: whether or not you believe and what he's doing, whether
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 22: or not you believe that there needs to be new leadership,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 22: whatever it is like, changes don't just happen with we
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 22: sit around and wish for it.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 18: We actually have to do something about it.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 22: And sometimes in order to get these folks to operate
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 22: with some urgency, you gotta put some pressure and some
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 22: cheat under them.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: That's why everybody in the party should have had a
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: copy of this book. Flip the table a lot.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to do it though.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: They have no choice now, They never never don't have
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: When do.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: We ever have a choice?
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: No, there's really no choice now.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's always a fight or fight, like,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: do what you got to do to get out of situation.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: It's different, I could be, but I feel like it
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: is different, but I don't feel like anything has changed
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: about the way that people are handling it. I don't
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: really feel the sense of urgency. There was an interview
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: that you talked about Di You're like, these companies are folding.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: It was a Glamour magazine and you said, these companies
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: are foting. They don't understand that the proximity to the
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 4: president isn't power. Power is showing him that he needs you.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: People are not going to do that. Everything that we're
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: talking about, people just don't do it, you know.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 22: But I think what I hear you and I do
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 22: have to remind us all that this man has only
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 22: he hasn't even been in office one hundred days. But
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 22: because we are in such an information overload forever, it
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 22: does like you open Instagram and I'm saying restaurants I
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 22: want to go to, and then I'm seeing what this
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 22: man is doing in the White House, right, So like
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 22: we're in this information overload and yeah, and at the
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 22: same time, I think about at the State of the Union,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 22: shout out to Congressman Green and y'all had him up here,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 22: and I was like, oh my gosh, every single Democrat
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 22: should have gotten up right after him and disrupted the
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 22: entire speech, right and then when you know Senator Booker
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 22: did his filibuster, people were saying, Yes, this is what
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 22: we need more of. And now you're seeing more people
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 22: in the streets, and I think people are are some
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 22: of our elected officials are understanding that there's more that
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 22: they can do now, and then there is still going
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 22: to be some who don't.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 18: And we have midterm.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 22: Elections and special elections, and I am all about getting
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 22: people in office who are going to be effective and
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 22: also us participating in that. If you, whether you agree
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 22: with them or disagree with them, if they represent you,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 22: you have the power and the right to show up
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 22: and tell them what is working and what isn't working.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 22: And I want more of us to do. I want
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 22: our elected officials to be scared. I want our elect
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 22: officials to be like, my constituents aren't going for this,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 22: or my constituents told me I have to do this,

• 1:34:58
  Speaker 4: about me. I So he did something that was really
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: sweet at the end of the letter though he ended
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: the letter then he said PS and he talked about
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: the fact that people are making a big deal about him.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: Michael B. Jordan's relationship, him and his wife's really or.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: They're married or they I believe him and his wife's relationship,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: and you know other relationships that he's had that you know,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: span it across all of these years and helped him
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 4: be the creator that he is. But he said he
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 4: wanted to take a second to shout out Michael Shaver,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: who is their picture editor, who he's been working with
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: for over fifteen years. And if you see any of
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: the photos from the film and just like how cinematic
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: and then like the photography like the stills or whatever
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 4: from the film fire as well too.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: But I thought that that was so fired that he
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: took the time to do that to make sure this
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: man got a shot.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: And he said that this guy miss missed the press
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: tour because he was spending time with his family, so
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: he wanted to make sure he got some love as
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: well too. But Ryan Coogler been he'd been out here
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: doing the thing individual.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: I mustache girl.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Well, that's that's the first time I actually saying to
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: my sayings like that actually looks good because that's Steve Harvey.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: But when you put it on Ryane with the straight
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: bag some nothing else on his face. I can see
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: I can see that, and he got an.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 6: Unprecedented deal for sentence.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 13: He did so.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: He actually did a deal with Warner Brothers where he
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: will retain the rights to the film centers in twenty
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: five years.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: He gets the ownership price back up.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: And that has been the source of a lot of
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: conversation as well too, and people are talking about how, well,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: so one more thing.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: Till he secured a first dollar gross deal.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, so what that is? That's important.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 6: It means that he receives a.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 8: Portion of box office revenue before the studio even begins recouping.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: Wow, which is a big deal. And it deals like
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: this don't happen often.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: I think the last time that people keep pointing back
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: to that things like this have happened was Quentin Tarantino.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 4: And he mentioned Quentin Tarantino in his letter as one
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 4: of his inspirations for what he does as well too.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 4: But as of today, he has grossed forty five point
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: six million dollars domestically and seventy one million dollars globally
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: during his open weekend opening weekend.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, we got to keep supporting.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 8: Yes, And that's the original I P Man that's an
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 8: original story written by Ryan Coogler, like dropping the clude
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 8: bond for Ryan Coole.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 6: That's all of the original I.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 8: P that Hollywood is looking for exist in the South,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 8: Black folklore from the South.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: He includes family photos in his letter as well too,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: because he talks about how it stems from his ancestry,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: which he talks about up here as well.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: Right's pretty young, right, yeah, he is young. I look
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: it up. I want to real quick before we get
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: out of here, go back to Shannon Sharp.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: Back to Shannon Shaa.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: Well, nothing new happened, nothing crazy as of yet. I
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: can check my emails. But Stephen A.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: Smith did go on his show and talk about the situation,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: and he had a really good point about the career
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 4: stuff and where Disney is right now with everything.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 24: All I can speak to about is what I know
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 24: based on the reports, and I can speak about ESPN
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 24: and Disney. To be clear, even though this podcast, this
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 24: YouTube show is owned and operated by me solely, it
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 24: doesn't mean that I'm going to be dismissive of ESPN,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 24: who employs me in my daytime job. On first ac
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 24: With that being said, it's important to point out a
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 24: couple of things. Number One, I was not there, I
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 24: am not I can provide no eyewitness account. And even
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 24: though I got love and respect for Shannon Sharp and
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 24: I'm sincerely hopeful and prayerful that he is completely innocent
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 24: of the allegations that have been levied against him, I
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 24: can't sit here and speak to his innocence or guilt
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 24: from a knowledgeable place because I have nothing to do
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 24: with this.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: I haven't seen anything, I don't know anything. I don't
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: even know this person.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: So, I mean people wanted to update from the career side,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: ESPN Disney see where that was going to go, and
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: I guess this is the close you're gonna get to it.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 4: Before this happened, though, I think a lot of people
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: were saying the obvious that normally with a company like
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: a Disney, they don't want to get in the mud
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 4: to mess at all.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: They normally take a step back. They haven't said anything
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: officially yet, but let.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: Me ask a question, what did what did doctor Umar say?
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 13: Though?
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 19: Oh baby, I'm staying with Uncle Shannon because I don't
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 19: like when black men get taken down. I gotta stand by. Yes,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 19: he's a lifetime snow bunny hopper. Yes, he's a lifetime.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 9: Snow bunny hopper.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: But that's my brother.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 9: Uncle Shannon Sharp is my brother.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 19: I'm standing with Uncle Shannon Sharp until the facts prove otherwise,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 19: all right.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 8: I don't like seeing brothers get taken down either, especially
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 8: when it's self inflicted. But we got to remember, destiny
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 8: is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 8: And all of this is happening because it seems like
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 8: Shannon Sharp made some poor choices and being fifty four
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 8: at the time.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 6: Hollering at a nineteen year old, it's a very poor choice. Okay,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 6: it is what it is.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 8: No, Yes, it's a shakedown, but you know people can't
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 8: shake you down or let you give him something to shake.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we don't know what it is yet. Let
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: the facts play out in court.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 6: It's definitely a shakedown.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: Well we don't know if. I mean, we don't know
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: if it's true and.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: Not fifty million dollars.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, So what you're talking about.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 8: Me because if there was, if there was a violation,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 8: it wasn't a shakedown, then she'd be pressing criminal charges
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 8: that might be coming next.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 7: I don't know, but you did that That's why I
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 7: asked you yesterday. I asked could they still press charges
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 7: on them criminally?
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: I mean some of the stuff is as recent according
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: to the victim as January twenty twenty five. So I mean,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know every law in the world, but that's
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 4: that's like a couple months ago. I don't see why
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 4: not right, and just why I would have to look
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: up the laws in the battle though, and I and
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 4: talk to the attorneys.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 7: My Bible says it's a twenty year statue when it
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 7: comes to sexual assault.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 8: And just hearing the lawyer say out of his own
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 8: mouth that they was close to a ten million dollars settlement.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 8: Why you know, like when you when you settled, it
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 8: looks like an admission of guilt or innocent.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 6: Why would you settle?
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 7: Or if he does settle it, it doesn't have other
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 7: people come out, right. They always say, Michael Jackson settled
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 7: out that one case so other people wouldn't come out.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 6: No, that's not what they said.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 8: Johnny Cochran actually told Michael not to settle because as
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 8: soon as you settle, you come a pigurement. But everybody
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 8: and their mama gonna be coming out with their hand
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 8: out and accusations.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: People coming out regardless if that's what they want to
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: do at this point in our day and age.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: But can't be guys, remember when remember the Cassie he settled?
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: Did he settle with her? And then all real day
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: came like, oh, I.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: Want everybody came she got three hundred dollars and she
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: was like, excuse me, arial die. She then gave her
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: three hundred dollars. So what the damn Masters was worth?
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: I think it was like three yea, three hundreds.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 6: I was about to look at but that with that
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 6: to your point, did he settle with Cassie? And then
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 6: what happened?
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: Everybody came out?
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, like I want my page.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 8: But if he was going to settle, he should have
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 8: set up before it was a lawsuit kit. Yeah, behind
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 8: the scenes, the scene. That's why they don't make no sense.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 8: That's why none of this makes any sense to me.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: Suggests it was justice corrected.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: It was three hundred dollars and thirty cents for she
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: got the thirty cents, but that was the because she
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 4: didn't sign that whole deal with the NBA and the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 4: Masters and all that stuff.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: But yes, just three hundred dollars and thirty cents through
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: all that for three hundred dollars. And Ryan Coogler is
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: thirty eight years old. Okay, okay, and happy birthday, George pay. Yeah,
