  Speaker 9: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: largest injury law firm. So we start this hour with
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: President Trump officially back on the campaign trail for the midterms.
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: He is kicking off a 32 campaign sprint in the
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: red states as Republicans fight to hold on to their
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: majorities in Congress. Trump says he plans to campaign nearly
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: every day between now and Election Day. And a big
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: part of his message will be the economy as the
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: cost of living remains a major concern for voters heading
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: into November. As Trump headed for the plane, he was
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: leaving for Texas and Oklahoma. He pointed out. that he
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: says the economy is strong. Most people don't feel that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: but that's what he said.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I give us an A-plus on the government, on economics,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: on everything. Look at inflation. I inherited the worst inflation
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: in history under Biden. Worst in history, and now it's great.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It's really good. We've got it down, and oil is
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: going to come down very, very soon.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, it might be the economy might be booming
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: for him and his friends. I'm sure they're getting fat
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: in the White House.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They're making some bread. It's like, what, 12 billionaires in
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the White House?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: They eating. But what about the regular everyday working class people?
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: I'm glad that you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: Said that because a new AP poll shows just 26
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: percent of Americans approve of how he's handling the economy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: That is a new low, especially for that poll. Just
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: 26 percent of Americans approve on that on the economy poll.
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: And then specifically when it comes to the cost of living, living,
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: the number drops to just 17%. So seven, just 17%
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: of Americans say, you know, this economy is working for them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: So, you know, it's, it's, those numbers are not good
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: that the.
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: Majority are feeling, you know, they can't afford food, groceries, gas,
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: everything else. So, um, I don't know where he is, uh,
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: kind of getting those, those other numbers from, but, um,
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: Moving to the family of Renee Good, her family is
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: actually suing the federal government and several Trump administration officials
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: over her killing by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. So
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: Good was the 37-year-old mother of three when ICE agent
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: Jonathan Ross shot and killed her inside her car back
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: in January in Minneapolis. Her family, they've now filed the lawsuits,
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: and they are accusing the officials of excessive force and
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: violating her civil rights.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: They say that Goode wasn't under investigation.
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: And ICE, you know, they weren't even looking for her.
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: Her family's attorney, they announced the lawsuits yesterday.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: Let's listen.
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: Today, we announced two historic federal lawsuits taking on the
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Trump's administration unconstitutional acts during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: Thousands and thousands of agents were deployed. It ensnared an
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: inexcusable number of Goode and decent people, including Renee Goode.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: All that money not going to bring back their loved one,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: but they deserve all that money.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah. The lawsuits, they're seeking damages in a jury trial
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: of Ross, who was that ICE agent.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: He has not been criminally charged.
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: And the Trump administration, though, says these lawsuits are baseless
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: and they will fight them in court.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So.
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: There is that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: But you guys, this morning, millions of Americans who get SNAP,
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: they're going to get a little bit more money for
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: groceries this month. The yearly increase kicked in on October 1st.
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: So about $ 30 more a month for a family of
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: four and about $ 10 more for one person. But on
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: the flip side of that, there are new work requirements.
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: Those are also kicking in. So adults without young children,
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: they now have to work at least 80 hours a
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: month to keep their benefits. And that rule now applies
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: to people who are up to age 64. So some
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: good and some bad news there with that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: And lastly.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: If you have fallen.
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: Behind on your federal student loans, there is a new
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: way to start getting out of default.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: The federal government, they've.
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: Launched a new online system to make the process easier.
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: So before, you had to call, you had to mail,
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: you even had to fax in your paperwork. Well, now
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: you can set up payments, upload your documents, and apply
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: to consolidate your loans, rehabilitate your loans all in one place.
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: You can just go to studentaid.gov and look for the
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: Defaulted Loan Support Center website. And this is very important
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: to deal with because, as we talked about before, those
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: default loans mean the government can take money from your
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: tax refunds.
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: They can take money from your wages. They can garnish
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: your wages.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: So if you think that you are in default, just
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: go to that website, studentaid.gov, and look for that defaulted
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: loan support center. So that is your 6 a.m. front page,

• 10:02
  Speaker 11: Tyler Rico.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: I'm confused.
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: The lady was sentenced to death.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Didn't die.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: Now they got in the hospital trying to save her life.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're trying to save her life.
• 10:13
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they said she's under life-saving medication.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that don't make no sense. Yeah, that don't make
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: no sense. They tried to kill her.
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: That don't make no sense.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I just thought she wouldn't die.
• 10:22
  Speaker 16: Yeah, if they wasn't trying to save her, why bring
• 10:25
  Speaker 16: her to the hospital?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: That makes sense.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: But I guess you can't, quote unquote, suffer, I guess, because.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: they can be sued if she.
• 10:33
  Speaker 16: Suffers I mean but you sent us to death I
• 10:34
  Speaker 16: mean what's worse than death.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I mean what's crazy I keep saying it it's just
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: not her time it's clearly not her time to go
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: or his phone hung up but yeah it's clearly not
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: her time to go like that's the thing that I
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: think people aren't paying attention to with this story even
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: if you're sending somebody to death it's not their time
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: to go it's not their time to go.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I think legally you can't have a painful death it
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: has to be a peaceful death I guess no such
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: thing you can't suffer that's legally.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I've been suffering for 25 years.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: As soon as you give me a date and tell
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: me this is the date I'm going to die, I'm
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: sure that you'll be in your head about it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe you can get to some form of peace.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Hello, who's this?

  Speaker 2: I believe him.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Anyway.

  Speaker 17: right off the bat.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Salute to Richard, but regardless. God rubbed you to do that.

  Speaker 2: That's not how that works.

  Speaker 5: Sometimes you can give it to the wrong person and
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: God be like, why did you do that?

  Speaker 2: I did not tell you to do that. Okay?

• 19:54
  Speaker 17: Me So yesterday, guys, well, first of all, good morning.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 19:58
  Speaker 20: Yesterday, news broke that Rick Ross was arrested in Miami
• 20:02
  Speaker 20: Beach for domestic violence-related charges. He has been accused of
• 20:07
  Speaker 20: felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery. He was taken
• 20:11
  Speaker 20: into custody by the Miami Beach police, and this all
• 20:14
  Speaker 20: happened after an ex-girlfriend, and we don't know particularly who,
• 20:20
  Speaker 20: she's not named, but we have an idea of who
• 20:22
  Speaker 20: we think it is, but an ex-girlfriend called police and
• 20:25
  Speaker 20: told police that there was an alleged violent incident that
• 20:27
  Speaker 20: went down on August 28th. Now, the incident happened August 28th,
• 20:31
  Speaker 20: but she called police on September 29th. And she said
• 20:35
  Speaker 20: that what happened was she was sleeping in the house
• 20:36
  Speaker 20: that they were sharing at the time. She alleges that
• 20:39
  Speaker 20: Rick Ross woke her up and was really, really upset.
• 20:42
  Speaker 20: He was in like a rage. He was upset over
• 20:44
  Speaker 20: a photo that was posted on social media that she
• 20:46
  Speaker 20: was tagged in. And things got physical real quick. Now,
• 20:49
  Speaker 20: she's alleging that Rick Ross like asked her about this
• 20:53
  Speaker 20: photo and accused her of lying and dealing with another
• 20:56
  Speaker 20: person struck her in the face at at some point
• 20:59
  Speaker 20: she alleges and every time she denied certain things she
• 21:03
  Speaker 20: was struck again she's alleging that she was struck in
• 21:06
  Speaker 20: her chest also she says that she was choked she
• 21:09
  Speaker 20: could not breathe she was grabbed by her ponytail slammed
• 21:12
  Speaker 20: up against a wall So the woman went to police.
• 21:16
  Speaker 20: You know, she testified that these things happened. She allegedly
• 21:18
  Speaker 20: showed them photos. And from that, they were able to
• 21:20
  Speaker 20: get an arrest warrant. which is why we saw Rick Ross.
• 21:24
  Speaker 20: There was a booking photo that was released yesterday. Rick
• 21:27
  Speaker 20: Ross in a Miami floral that everybody was like, well,
• 21:29
  Speaker 20: this floral. But then after that, we then found out that,
• 21:33
  Speaker 20: or I found out yesterday, I was talking to the
• 21:35
  Speaker 20: PIO down in Miami that there was a search warrant
• 21:37
  Speaker 20: that happened on a search, a PIO. It's a public
• 21:40
  Speaker 20: information officer. That's basically like a publicist for the police department.
• 21:43
  Speaker 20: There's certain information that is public information. When arrest happened.
• 21:46
  Speaker 20: So you can call the public information officer if you're
• 21:48
  Speaker 20: a person of media to get clarification. So they told
• 21:52
  Speaker 20: me that after Rick Ross voluntarily turned himself in, he's
• 21:55
  Speaker 20: been very cooperative, that they obtained a search warrant of
• 21:58
  Speaker 20: his house because in her testimony, this ex-girlfriend says that
• 22:01
  Speaker 20: there may be home video surveillance of the incident. Police
• 22:06
  Speaker 20: do not know at this time and can't and couldn't
• 22:08
  Speaker 20: confirm whether there was actually something on the video that
• 22:10
  Speaker 20: they got. But I was told that there was video
• 22:12
  Speaker 20: and it may be something that can show something toward
• 22:15
  Speaker 20: an incident, but they can't confirm that. So and Rick
• 22:17
  Speaker 20: Ross was locked up at the time of that, that
• 22:20
  Speaker 20: home search. He was not there in the house at
• 22:22
  Speaker 20: the time, but he made sure that his staff coordinated
• 22:25
  Speaker 20: with police to get whatever they wanted.
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: They said he was very suspicious. Very cooperative. And the
• 22:30
  Speaker 17: search was seamless.
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: So, yeah, he bonded out yesterday, but not after talking
• 22:35
  Speaker 20: to a judge. Let's take a listen to Rick Ross's
• 22:38
  Speaker 20: attorney in court talking to Judge Mindy Glazer.
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Roberts is a celebrity.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So what does that mean?
• 22:46
  Speaker 22: I don't know to whatever degree your honor can, but
• 22:48
  Speaker 22: I'd ask that his release be expedited.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: He's in a red jumpsuit.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And for purposes of his safety, I don't know what
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: your honor can do.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 22:55
  Speaker 17: Hi, Mr.
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: Roberts.
• 22:56
  Speaker 17: I have no idea who you are, except there's somebody
• 22:58
  Speaker 17: here in the court who's going to be treated fairly
• 23:00
  Speaker 17: just like everybody else here. That was not a good
• 23:04
  Speaker 17: way for the attorney to approach that at all.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: No, that was a good way for the attorney to
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: approach it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: No.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: He's a high-profile figure.
• 23:12
  Speaker 17: You say that.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: But then he said it was a safety issue. I
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: need to get my client out as soon as possible.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: It was a bond hearing, though. The whole thing with
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a bond hearing, you're going to.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Get out, but you're asking to the judge to say, hey,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: because of a celebrity to move something, the judge isn't going.
• 23:26
  Speaker 17: To do that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't think she was moving. I think she was
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: trying to get him a bond, right?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: He got a bond. Yeah, it was $.
• 23:32
  Speaker 15: 6, 000.
• 23:32
  Speaker 20: So it's like, let's move faster because he's a celebrity.
• 23:35
  Speaker 20: And then he goes to the safety thing. I can
• 23:36
  Speaker 20: understand the safety thing, but to throw celebrity in there first,
• 23:39
  Speaker 20: and this is a... even you know because rick ross
• 23:41
  Speaker 20: is maintaining his innocence i get that but yeah i
• 23:45
  Speaker 20: don't think that that was.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: The right way to go i thought she was just
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: trying to i thought the lawyer was just trying to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: get him a bond he was getting.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: A bond to happen faster because he's a celebrity.
• 23:52
  Speaker 20: Yeah so he's uh going to go back to court
• 23:54
  Speaker 20: for arraignment on october 22nd but after this rick ross
• 23:57
  Speaker 20: did walk out of court and there were cameras outside
• 23:59
  Speaker 20: of the courtroom let's take a listen to rick ross
• 24:00
  Speaker 20: being released from jail.
• 24:01
  Speaker 13: First and foremost i need silence first and foremost I'm
• 24:07
  Speaker 13: totally innocent of these fabricated allegations made against me. I'll
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: be in Dubai tomorrow, Paris Saturday, and I plan on
• 24:16
  Speaker 13: having a bowl of rigatoni with heavy marinara Sunday.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I repeat, rigatoni, heavy marinara.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for your time.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Enjoy your day. Thank you.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Horrible situation for Rick Ross to be in, but all
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: I thought to myself was I need Rick Ross to
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: do an audio cookbook.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I've said this a million times already.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Nobody makes food sound as delicious as Rick Ross, okay? Because, boy,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: I want me some spicy rigatoni vodka from Carbones right now.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Last time I had that was at the IHOP Music Festival.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: That spicy rigatoni vodka.
• 24:53
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 24:54
  Speaker 15: Woo!
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I had some last night. Oh, my gosh.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Amazing. You probably went to go get it because you
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: heard Ross say it. I don't know. You heard Ross
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: say it and your stomach started growling. Oh, my gosh.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: That's right. Oh, my gosh. Suit the Carbone. You had
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it from Carbone last night?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. Oh, man.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I might have to order something this weekend.
• 25:08
  Speaker 17: This weekend? While you're cleaning your closet?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Because they're lost.
• 25:11
  Speaker 17: Bring it to the house.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Damn, you know what? Some spicy rigatoni would be hitting
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 25:14
  Speaker 20: Well, Rick Ross is worried about the rigatoni and all
• 25:17
  Speaker 20: the places he's traveling to. They also released a music
• 25:19
  Speaker 20: video yesterday while all this was happening. It's Rick Ross,
• 25:22
  Speaker 20: Young Breed, DJ Nasty, Do It One Time. And Rick
• 25:25
  Speaker 20: Ross was in his car letting the people know that
• 25:27
  Speaker 20: that was happening as well. He is not worried about
• 25:29
  Speaker 20: any of this. And let's take a listen.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: It's the boat, biggest of all time.
• 25:33
  Speaker 23: May I have silence? Okay, first and foremost, I am
• 25:39
  Speaker 23: totally innocent with these fabricated allegations made against myself. Now,
• 25:45
  Speaker 23: I have an amazing team and that's such an amazing team.
• 25:48
  Speaker 23: And I'm totally confident that these fabricated allegations will be
• 25:52
  Speaker 23: laid to rest now what my weekend look like i
• 25:56
  Speaker 23: will be in dubai tomorrow night i will be in
• 25:59
  Speaker 23: paris saturday when i get back sunday i want to
• 26:03
  Speaker 23: sit down with a big plate of rigatoni heavy marinara
• 26:06
  Speaker 23: i'm bigger than justin bieber so i expect when the
• 26:10
  Speaker 23: weather clears that the helicopter should be flying over my
• 26:13
  Speaker 23: mansion you agree with me i feel like recording some
• 26:17
  Speaker 23: music the studio ready.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: I know they raided his house to get video, but
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: most people who have cameras in their crib.
• 26:24
  Speaker 20: Don't say raid, because raid makes it sound like when
• 26:26
  Speaker 20: they came by water and by sea like they did
• 26:27
  Speaker 20: with me.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like that.
• 26:28
  Speaker 20: But they did have a warrant to search his house,
• 26:31
  Speaker 20: and they went there and.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Did that, yes.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: But most people, you know, when you have cameras in
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: your house, a lot of times the footage in those
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: cameras leave after seven days.
• 26:37
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: And if the event happened, what, 30 days ago?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: And that's why I was at.
• 26:43
  Speaker 20: I pushed back... Not pushed back, but I did ask
• 26:44
  Speaker 20: a lot of questions. What's on the video? What did
• 26:46
  Speaker 20: you see? Is this actual evidence or is it just
• 26:49
  Speaker 20: something being considered because she mentioned it?
• 26:51
  Speaker 17: They couldn't give me those answers as of yet.
• 26:53
  Speaker 20: I did also ask, too, because there were photos posted
• 26:55
  Speaker 20: by a young woman a week ago, Jasmine, who was
• 26:57
  Speaker 20: the last person we've known Rick Ross to date, of
• 26:59
  Speaker 20: something with her lip, like a busted lip. So I
• 27:01
  Speaker 20: was wondering if the photos that were submitted... showed anything
• 27:04
  Speaker 20: on the chest and all the other things that were
• 27:06
  Speaker 20: mentioned as well, too. But no answers on that. But
• 27:09
  Speaker 20: you have a point.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: That helicopter did fly over that mansion.
• 27:11
  Speaker 17: It definitely did.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: He had his his rum, his hookah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: His car wash sitting right on that counter, his car,
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: car cleaner sitting on that counter for promotion.
• 27:20
  Speaker 17: He had a hookah out there, too.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Rick Ross is a promoting mother effer boy.
• 27:23
  Speaker 20: The way he predicted them helicopters. Him posting it, I
• 27:27
  Speaker 20: feel like made the helicopters rev up.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: First and foremost, I need silence. I'm going to.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Start saying that to you all the time.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: You ain't saying.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: That to me. I'm going to say that to you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: so much.
• 27:36
  Speaker 17: You ain't saying that to me.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I've been looking for the words to say to you
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: when you talk.
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: You say a lot of words.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: First and foremost, I need silence.
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: You say a lot of words.
• 27:45
  Speaker 17: That was the latest with Lorna Rosen.
• 27:47

  Speaker 4: I would definitely go to ZZ Club of Gabon if

• 28:32
  Speaker 1: know it's going to be rampant.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to call. Sorry, I ain't waiting
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: in the line. I'm going to have to make a
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: phone call.
• 28:38
  Speaker 17: We know you're bougie. You like skin.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to go, but I got to try
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that velvet. What was that?
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Red velvet waffle.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Red velvet waffle with fried chicken wings. That banana pudding
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: waffle looks good, too.
• 28:48
  Speaker 17: I am so hungry now.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Anyway, good morning, everybody. Let's get in some front page news.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Let's start with some quick sports and Thursday night football.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: The Browns beat the Steelers 27-24. Last night, the Aces
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: beat the Fever 94-83. Asia Wilson had 36 points.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Aces.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Come on now.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Best women's basketball player on the planet. Dropped one of
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: the clues bombs for South Carolina's own Asia Wilson. Slew
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: to the good sister Raven Johnson, too, of the Indiana Fever, man.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: They need to be playing Raven Johnson more. She got
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of playing time last night. But if y'all
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: had been doing that all season, y'all probably would have
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: been in a better position and wouldn't have had to play.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: The A's the first round.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: Fever.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: And also a salute to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: beat the Phillies last night, 6-2. What's up, Mimi?
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: Good morning, guys. How y'all doing this morning?
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Good. Good morning.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: largest injury law firm.
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: So we start.
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: This hour with new information in the Cornell sexual assault
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: case involving seven former fraternity members.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: So the state of New York is now.
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: Taking a fresh look at the case with Governor Kathy Hochul,
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: putting Attorney General Letitia James in charge of the investigation now.
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: This all stems from a former Cornell student says she
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven men at a
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: fraternity house back in 2024. She says two of the
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: men drugged her and then sent a message to the
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: fraternity group offering offering access to her.
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: No criminal charges were filed at the time.
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: But the local DA says key information from the woman's
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: interview with campus police, it never made it to his office.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: That includes telling investigators, quote, I can say with 100%
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: confidence I was raped.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: Now, the local DA says he never saw that statement.
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: In an interview with MS Now, he explained why he
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: said that information never made it to his office.
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: Let's listen to that exchange.
• 30:41
  Speaker 22: I guess, respectfully, why should the people of your community
• 30:44
  Speaker 22: have confidence in you to handle this investigation when you
• 30:47
  Speaker 22: didn't even know such a critical statement from Jane Doe
• 30:52
  Speaker 22: as it related to this investigation in its first stages?
• 30:55
  Speaker 21: We initially had to rely on the Cornell Police Department
• 30:58
  Speaker 21: to be thorough and provide us the information that they did.
• 31:01
  Speaker 21: And we reviewed that information. It appeared to be comprehensive.
• 31:05
  Speaker 21: It appeared to be very detailed and a full account
• 31:08
  Speaker 21: of what happened. I can't explain why additional information did
• 31:14
  Speaker 21: not make it to my office.
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so Governor Kathy Hochul says she no longer has
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: confidence in the local DA's ability to handle this case.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: And putting AG Letitia James in charge will give her
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: office the power to investigate further.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: The evidence and send that evidence to a grand.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Jury if it warrants and bring criminal charges if the
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: evidence supports that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: But that case I've been hearing, I feel like every
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: day there's some new information, right? There's this new Snapchat.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: There's a new story. There's a new this. There's a
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: new that. I just hope that the truth comes out, right?
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I hope if the girl did get raped and that's
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: what happened, what she said, I hope she gets her
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: peace and these gentlemen get arrested. But I just hope
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: that the truth comes out. Because it's just, I'm hearing
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: so many stories from different sides. And all of a sudden,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: this Snapchat came out. The next thing I see. What
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: do you mean this Snapchat?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Like there's just so much information that's been coming out
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: with this case. That group chat that was a group
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: chat on Snapchat.
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: Free P open access.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: That was on Snapchat.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so some of those messages have leaked. It's just
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: very sad. And I pray that the facts come out
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: and justice is served.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I hope.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I swear I hope.
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: For sure, for sure. We will continue watching that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: And switching gears here, so if you are a TSA
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: agent this morning, I really wonder how you feel about
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: this next story. So TSA is now telling officers at
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: airport security checkpoints that they can no longer sit while
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: checking IDs and boarding passes.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: They'll now be expected to stand while doing it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: So TSA says the changes will help officers stay alert
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: and create a more professional experience for travelers. But the
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: union that represents TSA workers is pushing back. They say
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: that their officers spend so much time Standing and walking
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: around on hard floors and the chairs, they're not about comfort.
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: They're about just basic.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Support for workers.
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: The union that's making these, the union says that making
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: these changes without the.
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: Input of the officers is, you know, safety.
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: And it's just basic decency to let people sit down
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: and not have them standing for eight hours on their
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: feet if they don't have.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't see the reason for TSA workers to
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: have to stand up when they're checking our IDs.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Like, what's the point? You know, I mean, those lines
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: be long as hell sometimes. That doesn't make no sense.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Why would you make them stand up like that? Yeah,
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: why would they have to stand up? They're not patting
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: you down. They're just checking your IDs. And a lot
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: of times, all you're doing is looking in the camera,
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: and they're clearing to see if you're good. Like, there's
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: no reason to have them standing for six, seven hours
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: a shift.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: And what about older TSA workers or TSA workers of size? Okay,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: they don't need to.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: Be on TV.
• 33:54
  Speaker 17: You always take it there. Lean on people alone.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: You know what's crazy? I don't see that many TSA workers.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Thank you so much, government. Shutdown's not getting paid.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, man.
• 34:05
  Speaker 17: Thank you for bringing back the compassion, Mimi.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: No, I'm with them.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I don't see the reason. That makes no sense to me.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: There's no reason to have them standing. And like you said,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: their feet will be hurting. Because think about us.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: We're going through the line relatively fast, right?
• 34:18
  Speaker 23: Mm-hmm.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: But think about how long they're just there.
• 34:20
  Speaker 20: But also the amount of people and the different personalities
• 34:23
  Speaker 20: they encounter. It's a lot working and travel and having
• 34:26
  Speaker 20: to deal with all of that. Like sitting down is
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: the least you can let them do when you got
• 34:29
  Speaker 20: to deal with all those people, all those attitudes. Everybody rushing.
• 34:33
  Speaker 20: Everybody want to be accommodated.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I don't see the point. If you want to keep
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: them alert.
• 34:36
  Speaker 17: Why don't you?
• 34:37
  Speaker 20: I think because sometimes when I'm in the TSA lines,
• 34:39
  Speaker 20: I hear them asking like when they can go on
• 34:41
  Speaker 20: their breaks and stuff. Why don't they figure out a
• 34:42
  Speaker 20: better behind-the-scenes system to rotate them out so that way
• 34:45
  Speaker 20: people aren't exhausted by the people interaction?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: But how are they not alert? They're taking your license.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: They're taking the identification. They're taking your ticket. They're alert.
• 34:55
  Speaker 17: I would assume that it's like they feel like it
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: gets mundane. It's just like.
• 34:59
  Speaker 20: okay let me take it boom okay go like where
• 35:01
  Speaker 20: they're just passing people through.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: And ain't it's not like people sneaking by getting on
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the plane.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Yes then you got to go to another security it
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: is stupid but everything going on in this world that's
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: what we're thinking about alone.

  Speaker 9: Man yeah but you're right we got so much so
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: much happening this have not not letting them sit down

  Speaker 3: my pocket. I am five years sober next month.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Congratulations, brother.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Thanks, dude. I was just one of those people who, like,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: you give me pizza, I want seven slices. You give
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: me weed, I want to rip the bong. nine times
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: you give me alcohol I want to you know go
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: online shopping while drunk and then forget I bought concert
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: tickets I was I was you know that was me once.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: You get to the point where you knew you had
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to stop I was.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: At a strip club in the French Quarter in Nola
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: by myself. I was just throwing money away, and I
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: was thinking about suicide. I was drunk and high and lonely,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: and I said, this got too dark.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: But a strip is that bad that you just... Man,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: shut the f * * * up.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: What the hell is your problem?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: You're like, I didn't know white people had issues. It
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: was not, it was not fun. It was not like
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: make it rain. Yeah, no, this was like Charlie Brown,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: the rain cloud falling. Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And you did it. How did you get out of that?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: That play?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I pivoted.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I just like made some life choices. I stopped watching.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I stopped watching porn and I stopped drinking July of 2021.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: And then like three months later, I was in one
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: of these, you know, meetings or whatever with all the dudes.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I've been lying to y'all. I've
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: been getting high. I'm still high. Like I've been high
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: in meetings and I cried and broke down and I
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: was like, I'm going to start my day count over.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start over. I'm getting rid of weed.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: And so October 26th was my first day, like clean
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: of all the things. And I still got, we all
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: got issues and drama and problems, but like, at least
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I can deal with them without having those million crutches,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: which is what it was for me. And I don't
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: vilify a weed or alcohol. I think if you can
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: handle it, like, dude, Follow your bliss and enjoy Coachella.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: But I couldn't do it.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: I commend you because even being that honest to talk
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: about it is difficult because a lot of people don't
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: even have the honesty to talk about it.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Men got to be more vulnerable. The fruits of the
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: spirit in the Bible are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: and self-control. And gentleness is something that dudes just are
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: not on yet.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: We're not even gentle with ourselves the way that we're
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: supposed to.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Give yourself grace.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Give yourself grace. Like we're too hard on ourselves. I
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: think so.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Absolutely true. Yeah, I did this talk show. It's called
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: the Boy Talk Talk Show. We got Blake Griffin, Becky Lynch,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Teddy Swims, Rob Roush, who won Traders. We got all
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: these amazing guests for the first eight episodes are dropping.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: But it's kind of shining a light on toxic masculinity.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: And one of the things with toxic masculinity is like,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: dudes not feeling they... It's like when a dude hugs
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: another dude and they feel they gotta pat their back
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: or say no homo. It's like, dude, y'all need to
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: chill out, bro. Nobody thinks you're trying to unzip my
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: pants because we hugged or because you told me your feelings. Like,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: calm down.
• 42:16
  Speaker 24: And this room is total opposite of that.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's good.
• 42:19
  Speaker 24: Like, no, y'all always think that y'all is trying to
• 42:23
  Speaker 24: rear-end each other. Like, that's just what it is. You
• 42:25
  Speaker 24: come up behind him and.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: I purposely, I do a thing in every episode where
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: each male co-host, I always grab their inner thigh when
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: I agree with them. Like, yeah, man. Just to make
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: them feel uncomfortable. Just to make them feel uncomfortable. Dude,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: it's so funny, though. It gets the best reaction. I
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: don't think, I don't know that I did.
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: Hey, man. Hey, man.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: See, you told him, so this is different.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: But if you didn't tell him, you just grabbed his thigh.
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I wish you would have did it.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: I wish you would have did it.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: No, I want to be brought back. I want to
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: come back. I want you all to have me again.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, he would love you, man.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: He would invite you.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: But Chuck Liddell, the UFC fighter, I don't know that
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: I touched his thigh, but I definitely, I think at
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: one point we like high five and I interlink my
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: fingers with him like a marital couple.
• 43:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: But just making people uncomfortable, that kind of between two
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: ferns thing with Zach Galifianakis, I love that stuff.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I like a good, just put a little good joke.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Just place it.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Hysterical.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Just nice in there somewhere in the conversation.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: That's me, man. I'm the same guy, you know, quoting
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: the book of Ephesians, but also making 40 jokes a day.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: We go far. You know the turnstile when you leave,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: the glass doors? I'll jump in it behind him. It'll
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: be the same one going.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Around and around. I do that all the time, dude. Yeah,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: just goofing, man. I do that all the time. Just goofing, bro.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I love elevators, man. I'm always trying to make people
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable in the elevator. I'll just be like, how's everybody
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: doing today? I'm just doing a wellness check. How are you?
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I'll make them look up from their phones. I love
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: stuff like that.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: I know there's a lot of married men who are
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: completely favorable to their wives, right?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Like we are.
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: They end up flirting with each other. It's just a
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: primal instinct. They got to flirt with somebody.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just it's fun. It's funny. But but yeah, no,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I think. And once again, a lot of people get
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: really pissed off. They're like, we talk about toxic masculinity.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Men are supposed to. It's like, dude, femininity, masculinity. These
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: are good things. I'm putting an adjective on it because
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: I'm calling out. the nature with which it becomes wayward
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: or perverse. These dudes like Patrick Bet-David who are like,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: money is the greatest thing in the world. Dudes like
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Andrew Tate. It's like you're sending messaging out to young
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: men to tell them that if you're an entrepreneur at
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: 19 and you have a bunch of followers and you're
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: putting videos out of you at a nightclub, you're cool.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: It's like, it's not cool, bro. You might think it's cool,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: but that's perception. Reality is... you are probably very scared
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: and you are probably very insecure.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, but you avoided the question.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Do you think married men who are faithful flirt with
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: other men just because you flirt with men?
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: I flirt with everybody. No, no, no. Maybe not children,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: but yeah. Not on that. Not on that.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: I saw you, you wore the coordinates to Jeffrey Epstein's
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: old ranch.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Zorro Ranch.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: To the Resident Evil premiere.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to stir the pot, bro. My heroes
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: are people like Kendrick Lamar and Cat Williams. I like
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: truth tellers. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying they're perfect.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Cat's on some other.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Sometimes where I'm not sure I fully buy the narrative.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: I like pointing out like, hey, give this a Google search.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Do your own research, as they say. I heard a
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: church bought that Zorro ranch.
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's sketchy, bro. The Catholic Church?
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Shut up, man.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Don't even have to be Catholic. Let's call it what
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: it is. Some people are doing some awful things in
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: the name of Jesus, and they're going to get it
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: the worst when the game is over, bro.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: No, you're right.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: They're going to get it the worst.
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: We had that conversation the other day, because we were
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: talking about, you know, our guy D1 was up here,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: and he was saying how, he was talking about rappers,
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: and they promote negative things in their music, because he
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: feels like, You know, those are the ones that are
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: probably in line for hell first. But then, you know,
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: Lauren LaRosa was like, well, what about the pastors who
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: are preaching the word of God all the time, but
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: they're not living that life.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And, you know, God's love and grace is abundant, bro. Like,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: you don't have to be perfect, but I think there's
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: a difference between evil people and sinners. I think we're
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: all sinners, but I think there's some evil people who
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: are just sinners. strategically hurting people their entire life.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: I completely agree with that. I never thought about that.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: There's a difference between evil and like, and we all sin, right?
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: We all, but I'm, I'm committed to evil. I'm a,
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I'm a free man surrounded by slave Masons, bro. I'm,
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I'm okay being way less famous, a way less powerful. If, uh,
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: I don't got those, uh, Chains on me.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: You said you're happy having way less money and being
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: way less famous. Paul, you have an Emmy. You have
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: a Golden Globe.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Got a hot.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: You've been in Marvel movies.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Jesus, Love and Wife and Three Dope Kids.
• 47:10
  Speaker 12: I like the way Paul says it.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: You're doing very, very, very well.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Some may say you're in the Illuminati.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Illuminati. That's a cute word. Freemasons run the world. That's
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: what's going on. And, uh, your votes don't count. And your, uh,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: your opinion is cute. Uh, that's why you gotta, you
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: gotta get down with God and you gotta have community
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: and you gotta take care of each other. Cause the,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: the world is, um, one big puppetry thing. And, uh,
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: they're trying to distract you.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: You don't think votes count even after what we've seen
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I'm still riding for people. Like I'm,
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: I'm still making fun of Ken Paxton on the Today
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Show earlier and giving love to James Tallarico. I'll still
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: vote and ride for people, but I also think there's
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: a ceiling. It is constructed so that there are boundaries
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: and a ceiling with how much change can actually be made.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you think everything that's happening right now is by design?
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: To some degree.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Not everything. And, you know, we can kind of... decode
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: or break the matrix a little bit with how, how
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: we roll. And, uh, we've seen that with, you know, MLK,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: we've seen that with, uh, uh, hashtag me too. Like
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: there've been things where like we saw actual change and
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: it was like, hell yeah. So, so I don't mean
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: to say that you are not powerful. You watching like
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: you are, you're more powerful than you know, but just
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: know the game you're playing. The, uh, the game is rigged,
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: but the God is real.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: I was asking what got you into wrestling? Why'd you
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: jump back into wrestling?
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: I love wrestling. I just never fell out of love
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: with it. I think it's so fun.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: What did your wife say when you said, Dave, I
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: want to wrestle?
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: She's not a fan.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Not a fan. And I'm limping around. I had an
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: easy match like four days ago in Charleston, South Carolina. Simple,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: simple match. Oh, for real? Yeah, it was nice. I
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: really liked it the short time I was there. And
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: I had a match. against this guy he's um he's
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: part of like the male cheer squad for the savannah
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: bananas you all know about that yes speaking of yeah
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: speaking of things that would make some tight dude be
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: like no no homo but this guy cody fluffman had
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: a great like five minute match with him and i
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: just i can barely walk i don't know what happened
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: to my hip i think it's the gluteus me the
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: muscle from the top of your ass to the side
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: of your thigh. I can barely walk without taking 1,200
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: milligrams of Advil. Damn.
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: What did he do to your ass?
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Nothing. Nothing happened, man.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you, man?
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: As Cat Williams said, I got a virgin booty. I'm good.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: So is it the adrenaline rush? Is that what wrestling
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: gives you that acting doesn't?
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Adrenaline rush and just instant gratification. You know, I did
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: stand-up comedy for a number of years, and there's something
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: great about getting that immediate response. Same with cooking, though, too.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: It's like people are eating that thing once it's cooled off.
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: And there's something nice to that.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Paul hasn't been hitting on me like crazy.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Oh, damn.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: No, I got a couple more minutes. Oh, perfect.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: And you're playing Mick Foley, I saw, in a limited series.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm attached to playing Mick Foley in a limited
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: series about the life of that wrestler and what he
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: went through. between wcw and wwe trying to find his
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: way and find his voice and um he ended up
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: going to japan having these crazy like death matches they're
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: called with um c4 explosives and barbed wire and stuff
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: him and this dude terry funk just beat the out
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: of each other and so we're we're telling that story
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: um and we're just trying to assemble the team to
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: pitch it no i was.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Gonna say man you know Playing that character could probably
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: take you to a dark place, but I feel like
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: you've already kind of been there.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. I played a serial killer for an Apple show.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: That was darkest.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about you.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the character you play.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, me. Yeah. No, straight up.
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: I was in a dark place when I shot that.
• 50:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, lately I've been in a much lighter place. It's
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: a nice place to be.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: What does your wife understand about you that Hollywood never will?
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's a really good question. I wish I had
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: an immediate good answer for a question that thoughtful. I
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: think my wife understands what a teddy bear I am.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Some people, you know, like to a dude's point, what
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: was the dude, Deontay, who was on before me? Yeah,
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: he seemed like a cool guy. If I say something
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: about the Palestinian conflict or I say something about, like
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: I have a Letterboxd account where I review movies I've
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: seen and stuff. it got way too much attention because
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't give five stars out of five stars to
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: some of my own movies. But like, I'm always telling,
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I'm telling the truth. Like y'all can get mad and
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: people do, but at the end of the day, I
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: am a teddy bear and I'm telling the truth. And
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: I think my wife knows that. Whereas I think public
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: perception can get very caught up, kind of the sin
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: of not being congruent with someone else's mindset. Everybody goes crazy.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, you seem very comfortable being the guy who
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: stirs up. Is that courage or you just, you just
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: sometimes enjoy, enjoy the fight.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Well, Kat said too, he's like, I stirred up the
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: hornet's nest or bee's nest. And then he was like,
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: I got stung enough times that I backed off. So like,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I haven't been stung yet, but I'm sure when I do,
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: maybe I'll get a little quieter. But at the end
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: of the day, I don't fear men. I don't fear
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: tech companies. I fear God. And so I don't want
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: to be a whistleblower because whistleblowers get killed, but I
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: want to be a truth teller. And love people. I
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: got God, so I don't need to worry about somebody
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: taking me out or trying to take me off a platform.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: I got God, dude.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Did you always feel like that? Or when you were
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: dealing with sobriety, you started seeing it?
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Nah, more of that. Yeah.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Put you in a different light.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: Because before that, it was like, oh, I got to
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: talk to Brad Pitt at the BAFTA tea party. It's like, dude,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: what you learn is the people that ride with you,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: ride with you. You have your crew. And everything else
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: is just noise, basically.
• 52:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: Um, but you know, we chase and, and we, you know,
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: real currency is a chosen pace. When you choose, when
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: you choose how you are going to walk and live
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: and you believe God's got you, you don't have to
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: run after stuff. All the good stuff in my life
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: from my wife to, uh, some of my really cool
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: roles I've gotten to do it. It all fell into
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: the lap. They give actors too much credit, man. We
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: are just recipients of grace and gifts. A lot of
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: times where I'll just wake up on a Monday and,
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: My business manager is like, you got to make some money.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: And then a week later on a Tuesday, I got
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: an offer in my email from somebody I respect.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: And I said, oh, that's amazing.
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: Sick.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: What was my last question what's something about Hollywood you
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: understand now that would have disappointed you when you were
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: trying to get.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: In something I understand now about Hollywood that would have
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: disappointed me when I got into it would be it's
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: never enough you can win the Emmy you still want
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: the Oscar you can make a million dollars you still
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: want three million all that stuff that never goes away
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: but at the end of the day I'm starting to
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: make peace with the idea that like it's okay that
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not Michael B. Jordan it's okay that I'm not
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Austin Butler I may never be the dude, you know,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: on the post or whatever. But that's not my calling.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: My calling is to love people, to take care of
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: my family, and to entertain you and try to treat
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: you well. So at the end of the day, that
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: has to take precedence, which I'm trying to get there.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: It's crazy because you seem, you're so successful.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Thanks, man. Yeah, I also just want to, I just
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: want to do a good job. I want to be
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: the guy, like, there's certain actors and actresses, like, I'm
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: trying to think of names, like Peter Sarsgaard, who's a
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: New Yorker, I think. He's not the most famous dude
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: in the world. He's not making the most money, but
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: he's always good. Every time you see him, it's like,
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: thank God this dude showed up. And I just want
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: to be that guy at the end of the day.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate you for joining us this morning.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.

• 54:47
  Speaker 1: got to come back if you're in town.

  Speaker 5: have a little bit of everything.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: What was the latest? Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: On The Breakfast Club. Hi, y'all.
• 55:36
  Speaker 20: So let's get into this Halle Berry story. This story
• 55:39
  Speaker 20: was everywhere yesterday. Halle Berry's ex, Oliver Martinez, was granted
• 55:44
  Speaker 20: a temporary restraining order against her after he alleged that
• 55:49
  Speaker 20: she was abusing their 12 year.
• 55:50
  Speaker 17: Old son that they share.
• 55:52
  Speaker 20: So he alleged that Halle Berry physically abused their son.
• 55:56
  Speaker 17: I'm not for sure if I'm saying his name correctly. Masio.
• 56:00
  Speaker 20: Now, the allegations are that she Halle Berry jumped on
• 56:04
  Speaker 20: the baby boy. She put her hands around his neck
• 56:07
  Speaker 20: and choked him last Saturday. Now, her ex is claiming
• 56:11
  Speaker 20: that their son called him and claimed that Halle had
• 56:14
  Speaker 20: physically attacked him and put him in a choke code.
• 56:16
  Speaker 20: He says that. It's not an isolated incident. And there
• 56:19
  Speaker 20: have been previous attacks is what he calls them. He
• 56:22
  Speaker 20: also continues on and says that Hallie has threatened to
• 56:24
  Speaker 20: have him deported to France and ask their son. What
• 56:28
  Speaker 20: was their son going to do as a black man
• 56:30
  Speaker 20: to protect him, to protect her from being robbed by Oliver,
• 56:35
  Speaker 20: who was his dad?
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Her son black.
• 56:37
  Speaker 17: I mean, he's mixed.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: It's mixed.
• 56:38
  Speaker 12: Holly's black.
• 56:39
  Speaker 17: The dad is African-American.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 56:41
  Speaker 20: So she basically asks the son, what you going to
• 56:43
  Speaker 20: do when and if your daddy try to rob me?
• 56:46
  Speaker 20: And then the son alleges that she called his dad
• 56:49
  Speaker 20: a white B word.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Bitch ass.
• 56:51
  Speaker 17: A white bitch.
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: White bigot would have hit harder. Call your daddy a bigot?
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 56:58
  Speaker 20: The filing also mentions that there was one time when
• 57:02
  Speaker 20: the 12-year-old son was home with Holly Berry and her man.
• 57:06
  Speaker 17: Ben Hunt.
• 57:06
  Speaker 20: And they were playing the VR video game with like
• 57:08
  Speaker 20: the goggles in his bedroom. And he says that Holly
• 57:11
  Speaker 20: Berry walked in and she was upset. And she said
• 57:13
  Speaker 20: that he looked stupid and looked like an idiot, allegedly,
• 57:16
  Speaker 20: for playing the game. Then the situation escalated from there when.
• 57:22
  Speaker 20: The situation escalated from there because her ex-boyfriend claims that
• 57:27
  Speaker 20: Hallie then jumped on their 12 year old son and
• 57:29
  Speaker 20: started physically fighting him. And he says that she grabbed
• 57:33
  Speaker 20: him by the neck and started choking him and was shouting, well,
• 57:35
  Speaker 20: who's dominant now? So, yeah, this order that they had
• 57:39
  Speaker 20: makes it where she's going to be able to see
• 57:41
  Speaker 20: their son. But it has to be like a range
• 57:44
  Speaker 20: visitation until they go to court. On October 16th.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, right?
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: And I don't know what happened, but it sounds like
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: to me the 12-year-old was feeling himself. And a black
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: mom did what a black mom does. My mom has
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: done it to me. My grandmother has done it to me.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: I seen Gia yoke up Logan.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: One difference.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Black mom did it to a— well, you're not black either.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: I am black.
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: I'm about to say black mom did it to a
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: white child. But a black mom doing that to a
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: white child is never going to play well in America.
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: But that's still her son.
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: And sometimes, you know, a 12-year-old get a little froggy
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: feeling himself. And sometimes your mother got to put some
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: hands on you to straighten you out. Yeah, I was born—
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: I seen Gia do it to Logan. My mama did
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: it to me. My grandmother did it to me. And
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: I don't even know how my grandmother had.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: That much strength.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was born in 1978, and I'll be the
• 58:25

  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 58:41
  Speaker 20: Wow okay well there's also some text messages that were
• 58:43
  Speaker 20: included in his documents and and one of them is
• 58:45
  Speaker 20: pretty disturbing because the ex uh her child's father texts
• 58:49
  Speaker 20: holly berry and he's like look he just asked me
• 58:51
  Speaker 20: to come and pick him up right now are you

  Speaker 20: it he wants to fight his mother question mark what
• 58:57
  Speaker 20: kind of kids are we raising as a father asking
• 58:59
  Speaker 20: what kind of kid is he i'm his mother and
• 59:01
  Speaker 20: then uh the child's father responds well i don't know
• 59:04
  Speaker 20: what's happening here what i know is is that you
• 59:06
  Speaker 20: fight with him way too much then it gets so
• 59:08
  Speaker 20: crazy then it it says that he's asking her if
• 59:12
  Speaker 20: she wants to keep their son at her place, even
• 59:15
  Speaker 20: if he doesn't want to stay. And she's like, yo,
• 59:16
  Speaker 20: this is wrong. I'm his mother. He has no respect
• 59:18
  Speaker 20: for me. This should not be okay with you as
• 59:21
  Speaker 20: his father. This should be a problem.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: If they lived together, she would have said, wait until
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: your daddy get home. Do you say.
• 59:27
  Speaker 17: That about non-black dads? I mean, I haven't experienced that
• 59:30
  Speaker 17: either way.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, you know what?
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: You're right. I don't know.
• 59:33
  Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Wait until your dad gets home. Okay, all right.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to be playing a VR game together. That
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: was my problem now.
• 59:41
  Speaker 17: That's why my mom had to put me out.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: We're going to be playing a VR game. When it
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: comes over, we're going to be playing together again.
• 59:44
  Speaker 17: That's why my mom had to put me out.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: F-U-N-T-E-N!
• 59:47
  Speaker 20: Yeah, well, we'll be following this case because Halle Berry
• 59:50
  Speaker 20: is pushing back on this and claiming that this is insanity,
• 59:55
  Speaker 20: that this is going way too far.
• 59:56
  Speaker 17: So we'll be following it.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. That's a good study.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: Why are more white parents more lenient than black parents
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: when it comes to that?
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they are. We don't know. I've
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: never been raised by a white parent.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: No, but when I'm out and about, the way sometimes
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: I hear white kids talk to their parents, like crazy.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Like, I'll be at the game. I'll be at the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: soccer game. F you, mom. Shut up, mom. I'll be like, whoa.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: You know what's okay?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: I think about all the times that I got popped
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: in public. I got backhanded in public, beaten in public. Like,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: back then, in our era, it was completely different. You
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: was raised in the 80s, 90s. It was completely different.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 20: I got beatens, but I feel like my mom didn't
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 20: beat us enough, to be honest with y'all.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 17: Now that I hear from other people and what y'all
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 17: went through.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, now I got weights.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 17: No, especially what I think.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: And then think about the psychological torture when your parents
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: tell you to go pick a switch.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I never had to pick a switch.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: And you got to go outside and look at the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: tree and pick something that's suitable to whip your ass.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 23: No.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Because if you didn't come back with the proper switch,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: then they was going to go get it. Nah.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 17: You know what gets crazy when you're crying hard? And
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 17: she's like, keep crying. I'm going to give you something
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 17: to cry about.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: I'm already crying.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: I hate that.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you something to cry about.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want to cry.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 20: And she really would give you something else to cry about?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 17: Yo, all right, wow.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I remember being young and wishing, why can't I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: just get grounded like white kids?
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: See?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Go to your room.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Why can't I just go to my room?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to my room.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 17: She coming after me.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: She coming in that room.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 17: All right, y'all. Real quick before we get out of here.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: One last thing.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Do you ever slam the door on your parents? Oh,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: I have. Oh, my goodness.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I have.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: You slam the door.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 17: I'm telling you, my mom had to put me out.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 17: My mom put me out when I was younger. You
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 17: deserve it.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 17: I'm telling you, I deserve to be beat a little
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 17: bit more.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: You slam the door one time by accident.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: You don't close no door in my mama trailer. My
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: mom took the door off the hinges before.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I locked it.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: She took my door off. I didn't have a door
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 17: for like three months.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's something I would do. I would definitely take
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: the door off the hinges. I would take the lights out,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: the light bulb. If they didn't turn off the lights,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: I'd take all the light bulbs out.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 18: Oh, yeah.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Y'all ain't get beat enough then.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: You never get beat with an extension cord and then
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: they make you go take a bath. You wouldn't try
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: no stupid stuff.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: That is abuse, sir.
• 1:01:59

  Speaker 1: That is abuse.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: No, it was called being raised in the 1900s.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: That is abuse. That reminds me of Penny from Good Times.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: You got abused abuse.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: I tell my 11-year-old dad all the time, you lucky

• 1:07:21
  Speaker 18: That's probably why a lot of people don't vote. I
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 18: know that's why my son doesn't vote.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 14: Because it's like they say all these things.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 15: You go in, you vote, you do what you're supposed to.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 14: But then at the end of the day, once they
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 14: get there, nothing happens.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Well, things do happen.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I think we're, we're realizing right
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: now how much elections have consequences, right? Like, you know,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: you think things can't get worse, but they absolutely can.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: So I know that, you know, you don't want to
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: vote for somebody that's going to keep the status quo,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: but right now I'll take that status quo over authoritarianism.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 15: I agree.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 18: I mean, I grew up in, uh, partly in Jamaica, uh,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 18: in Jamaica, they're very corrupt.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 14: Uh, My parents took me away from in the 80s.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 14: It seems like that's what's happening here.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, not seems.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 5: The levels of corruption from the Trump administration are unheard
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: of right now. So, like I said, man, you know,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: you don't have to fall in love with none of
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: these elected officials, but just listen to what they're talking about.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: The ones that are talking about affordability, the ones that
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: are talking about protecting democracy, keeping us safe, that's who
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: I'm voting for.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 18: But then mental illness is.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 11: On the rise.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: That is very true. But to me, that's all part of,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: you know, the financial conversation. Like, who is going to
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: make sure we have resources going to our communities?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Like, before things like mental health.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 14: I mean, I created an app. I talked to you
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 14: about it the other day.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 14: I mean, right now, I'm doing volunteer work in this
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 14: place that.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 18: Is a tiny community for the homeless people.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 14: And to qualify, you just have to.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 18: be on the streets for more than a year here
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 18: in Austin, Texas, and have some kind of disability.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 14: And you get a free house for life.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: Damn.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: What kind of disability? I can just start limping?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 14: Any kind of disability.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 18: As long as you get in a check, you get
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 18: a free tiny home, and they build it for you.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 14: I know I'm giving them.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: You ain't saying tiny home.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: You said house.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Now you're saying tiny home.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 14: But it's a home for these people that are on
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 14: the street.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: That is true. Where is this at?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 14: This is in Austin, Texas.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Austin, Texas. I'm looking that up right now. Yeah. I mean.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: Now it says in Austin, there's no completely free tiny
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: home program for people with disabilities, but they do have
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: low cost and subsidized options that exist for individuals who
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: are chronically homeless.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 13: Hmm.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: Who's this? Hey, what's up, man?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 11: It's Hassan.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Hassan.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: Who you want to get the biggest hee-haw to, sir?
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: You.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: What'd I do?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 16: All right, so y'all had a topic about Diddy when
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 16: y'all was talking about him getting caught with contraband and
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 16: stuff like that. And you kept saying, oh, this is
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 16: going to affect his appeal. This is going to affect
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 16: his appeal.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 15: And I'm sitting there.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 11: I'm like, man, I wish I could call.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 16: In and tell him that he wrong for saying that
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 16: because it won't affect his appeal.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: He in a.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 11: Federal prison.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 16: So the judge is ruling on what happened in his trial,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 16: not what's happening inside of the prison. The judge is
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 16: ruling on if anything that happened in his trial can
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 16: cause him to have a new trial.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: She don't care or.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 16: He don't care about if Diddy got Hennessy or caught
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 16: with a cell phone in jail. So that won't affect
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 16: his appeal at all.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to call in. That's why I said I.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 11: Wanted to call in.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: Get it off your chest, not donkey. I'm glad that
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: you believe in the judicial system in that way.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 16: Well, no, it's not that I believe in the judicial
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 16: system that way. I'm just saying I know I've been
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 16: through it. So I'm just saying, like, the judge is
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 16: ruling on what happened in the trial. The judge, they
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 16: can't rule on what's going on inside the judge. Now,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 16: let me give you a scenario. If Diddy was going up,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 16: if he was going up for parole to be released,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 16: that can affect him being released from the prison, like
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 16: his release date, you know what I'm saying? But the
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 16: appeal has nothing to do with what's going on inside
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 16: of The prison, the appeal.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: Has to do with what happened in his trial.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: That's all the appeal has to do with.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think the better
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: conversation is it shouldn't have anything to do with his appeal.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: But trust me, it will. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: All right, bro.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 15: I hear what you're saying, right?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 16: But I'm just telling you, I've been through it.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: I know it.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: Like, that's not going to affect his appeal, brother.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 16: I just want, I just, trust me.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: I don't trust the judicial system to do the right thing,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: but I hear you.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: All right now.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir. All right now.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: God damn. How you turn, what?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: That's the People's Donkey. We do that every Friday, 1-800-585-1051.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: You can call up and give somebody the credit they
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: deserve for being stupid.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Now, when we come back, who we got?
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: Arian Simone will be joining us from the Fearless Fund.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: We're going to talk to her next. She has a
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: new book that comes out October 6th.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: It's called Fearless Freedom. And we're going to talk to
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: her in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club.

  Speaker 12: You look good.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Beautiful.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: I spent half my time on the continent of Africa,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: and I spend other time here now.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 17: And America is in a very interesting place.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: So you're ready to go back?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: You're ready to go back. So for people that don't.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: Know last time you came up here, explain why you
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: came up here last time and what.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Happened there briefly for, you know, give people an update
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, I run the Fearless Fund, which is the nation
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: and world's first venture capital fund built by women of
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 6: color for women of color.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: It was targeted by the anti-DEI movement.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: Millions and millions.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 6: Of dollars and yes we were hit with a federal
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: lawsuit so that's why i was here and i did
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: not know we were the beginning of this anti-dei movement
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: when things started off i thought we were like a
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: isolated situation and then it was court case after court
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 6: case after court case being filed and.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: Now you're telling your story you have a new book
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: called fearless freedom yes what did you learn from the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: fearless fund lawsuit that that actually i guess scared.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 6: You One thing I learned that I do talk about
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: in the book, that when you're going through a storm,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: that you only have time to talk to people who
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: can solve your problem.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 17: Man. Yes.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: I don't need to do that in a storm. I'll
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: do that in the sunshine.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: I ain't talking about anybody that can't help me solve
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: my problem.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: No, seriously, because you allow distractions to interrupt your result.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: So I definitely learned that. I learned that elections are
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: extremely consequential.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 6: I went through a federal court case and literally every
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 6: judge that ruled against us was a Trump appointed judge.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: Every Obama, every Clinton appointed judge ruled in our favor.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 17: I said, can y'all give me a Bush appointed judge? Like,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 17: what is this?
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 6: But the last administration and prior to the Biden administration,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: they put in like 200 and something federal judges.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 17: And that's what the result of that was. I was
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 17: living in.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 6: In a Biden administration, but dealing with the consequences and
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: actions that took place in the Trump administration.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: Was that part of the reason you decided to go
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: to another continent?
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: I've been back and forth to Africa for over a decade.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: And I've always knew at some point I wanted to
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 6: be in both places. And then I ended up marrying
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 6: a Ghanaian, too. But I actually met my husband one day.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: I was looking for like an apartment there.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: So, yes.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: What made you think, I need to have this just
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: in case? Oh, what I was dealing with.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 17: Oh, I got multiple citizenships and everything.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 12: I got to get up out of here.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 17: I got to get up out of here. I'm Grenadian.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 17: I'm a lot of stuff. Because I said, if I
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 17: need options. I want to make sure I have them.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Was the government coming at you that bad where you said,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to need these options?
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was to the point where people were
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: surveillance in my house. I had to have detail.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 17: It was a lot. I said, why is this work
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 17: this disruptive?
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: And then I had to remember before the fearless fund existed,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 6: the average fundraise for a black woman was only $ 30, 000.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 17: We came on a scene cutting million dollar checks.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 6: And then on top of that, there were only 34
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: black women, whoever had raised a million dollars before we existed.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: By the next year, we were at 99 and a
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 6: lot of these people were ours. And I don't know
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: why that little bit of what I would consider small
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 6: piece of a pie would be so disturbing, but it
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: clearly caused all this disruption.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: What did that experience.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: Teach you about how America really views targeted economic opportunity?
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is like, you know,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: people tell us, to build wealth, right? Black people, build wealth,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: build wealth, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Then you
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: have an organization that's trying to help us do that.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: But then now you're being targeted because you did it.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 17: You're correct.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 6: So what it let me know that it's not just
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 6: enough for us to build things. We have to have
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 6: the resources to defend what we build. And I learned
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 6: that because we saw Black Wall Street, but we couldn't
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: defend it. You know, so it's not just enough for
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: us to build. We're great at building communities. We're great
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 6: at coalition building. We're great at building systems, supporting each
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: other's businesses. But if we don't have the resources to
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 6: defend it, we leave ourselves vulnerable.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 17: And that's what I learned from that.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: How much did you spend in defending your business?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 17: I don't mind.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: It wasn't even just that. We had some of our
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 6: attorneys were pro bono. Some were not. But it was
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: more so what it cost us in general. And for me,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: any amount of money is worth our liberation. So I
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: had to keep that in mind. But when we got
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: in the court case, I think I had just closed
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 6: on $ 23 million and I had about $ 100 plus million
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: in diligence.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 17: I had to risk that.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: Because people, of course, didn't want to put money into
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 6: a vehicle that's in a legal situation.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 17: And I was like, oh my gosh. I'm like, you
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 17: can either.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: fold right now, or are you going to have to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: be willing to risk this money?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 17: And I had to take that risk.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: What were they looking for?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 17: We lost a lot.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: What were they looking for?
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: They were looking to stop race-based funding, as he was
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: even stating, and even gender-based funding.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 17: So had we lost, luckily the case got.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 6: Permanently dismissed after 13 months, but had we lost at
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 6: the Supreme Court level, it would have done what his
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: previous case did, was when he won at the Supreme
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 6: Court level, and they eliminated affirmative action at all the colleges.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 13: Hmm.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 17: So they were looking to stop this completely.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: Race-based funding and gender-based funding, which would have stopped millions
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: and millions of dollars from coming into our communities.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: Can you educate the stupid real quick? And by the stupid,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: I mean the people who will say, well, you know,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 5: if you have a fund that invests specifically in black women,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 5: what if I had a fund that only wanted to
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: invest in white men?
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 6: Well, the reason why it's problematic is because we're actually
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 6: solving a disparity. This wouldn't exist if the disparity didn't exist.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: And black people in America may be a minority, but
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 6: globally we are a majority. We're like around 20 percent.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 6: I know the Asian and Chinese community are right behind us.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 6: But when you suppress and oppress the majority of the people,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 6: it's no good for the whole. So you have to
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: make sure that that demographic has the resources that they need.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 17: Because they're going to be the ones who have to
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 17: lift everybody else up.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Do you believe DEI is disappearing or is the language
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: around it simply changing?
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Because that's what some of these corporations will say.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: Like, we didn't actually roll it. We didn't get rid
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: of them. We just had to change the language because
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: we didn't want to be targeted by the federal government.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: We will know the true answer to that probably in
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 6: about five years when we see the results. But what
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: I can say that research has said, Harvard has studies
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: that say when you take away race conscious programming, that
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: the black race gets left behind. So we will see
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: the numbers and the effects on this very soon. But
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 6: while that has been true in the past, The pendulum
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 6: is going to have to swing only because the.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 17: Country is becoming more black and brown.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 17: So at some point, for people to survive.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 6: And for companies to thrive, they'll be forced to figure
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: it out if they don't want to choose to.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: Figure it out.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: What's the most difficult thing that you see for black
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: entrepreneurs and black businessmen at all?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 17: It's just simply that, the access to capital.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Is it capital or is it also the relationships?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: I think that's the biggest pain point. You're right when
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 6: you say relationships. So I tell people all the time,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of times these stats exist. Even if you
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: take racism and sexism out of it, there's proximity. So
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: just the networks in itself, you may not have the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: access to those networks.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 17: But the biggest pain point is still the capital.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: Because when you hear somebody talk about an IPO, and
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: I always wonder if those IPOs were offered to us first, right?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: Or do you hear.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: real estate industry, or you hear somebody investing into a company,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: when you hear these brands that, you know, IPO and
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: make all this money, I'm like, I wonder if that
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: was offered us to us as well as to those
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: other companies.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: I'll say this though. And I feel very strongly about this.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 6: We have to solve this money problem.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 17: Because when you.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 6: Come to the table with economic power, you're always in
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: a position to negotiate. The Jewish community can negotiate anything,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 6: even if they're two to three percent of the population
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: because of their economic power. So when you say, is
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: it relationships? But see, that money will start unlocking some
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: relationships that didn't exist. So that's why I said if
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 6: we can get the money right first, it opens up
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: so many other opportunities. You can come to the table
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: and negotiate your voting rights. You can negotiate your health
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 6: care rights. Anything you want to negotiate, you're in position to.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: But we can't keep as a community coming to the
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 6: table from an inferior position because that's what happens. You
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 6: don't have as much to leverage.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: If these corporations continue to back away from DEI, is
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 5: the answer to convince them.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: To come back?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 23: No.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: I don't think the answer is to necessarily convince them.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 6: They're going to be forced. Like I said, even if
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: they don't choose it, just due to the demographics and
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 6: the way things are growing.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 17: I don't know. Maybe I just don't like the posture
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 17: of begging. So maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 17: what it is for me. So they're going to do
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 17: it regardless. The pendulum's going to swing.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this administration is not going to be in forever.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: At some point, and even if they were, like I said,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: we're going to be so overpopulated that you're going to
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: have to figure out how are you going to have customers?
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 6: How are you going to cater to this audience? You're
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: going to be forced to figure it out at some point.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: It may be 10 years from now, but if you
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: don't choose it, you will be forced. So I don't
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: think it's a need to ask. Either you're going to
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: stand by what is a business case or not. I
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: asked actually Costco the other day, the staff there. I said,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: what made y'all stand strong? They're investors in both our funds.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 6: What made you stand strong through all this? And they said,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 6: we don't even view it as standing strong.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: It's just good business.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: They said, the business case itself is enough for us
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 6: to pursue our business this way.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 15: Period.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 17: I was like, okay.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: And I just feel like black people, that's why I
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 5: love what y'all do, because I just feel like black
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 5: people should be building enough capital that we don't.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Need corporate America's permission to do anything.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we've got to become self-sufficient. But like I said,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 6: in addition to being self-sufficient, we got to be able
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 6: to defend it. Because the second that you build it,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: If somebody comes to get you, you can't be vulnerable.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 20: How are you having conversations with people about the mind
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 20: state around money? Like we have these capitalist conversations and
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 20: people talk certain ways. When you start making money, when
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 20: you bring your money into your business about you and
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 20: your business, how do you change that thinking so that
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 20: we know that we should be out here getting all
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 20: this money in and coming up and things.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 17: And it's okay to do that.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: When you ask that question, it, made me realize or
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: reminded me of how often people call it selling out
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: when you sell your company.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: Lord have mercy.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 17: He said, Lord have mercy. And it's really you selling up.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 17: You ain't selling out. You just gaining more wealth.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: You can't sell out if you're going to buy in.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: But I think over time, people are starting to get that.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: I hope we've gotten out of that. I still think
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: some of it is still there. I'm not in disagreement
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: with you. But I think that our level of exposure,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: our reach, our Internet, everything now is where we can
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 6: see it. We can see it now. I see when
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: people set up, it's less backlash as before. So it's
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: getting less and less.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 17: But it needs to eliminate. Because right now, it's a blessing.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: But it goes back to the capital conversation.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 5: You start a business, you grow it, you scale it,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 5: you sell it, you get the capital. And now you
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 5: got more capital to reinvest into your community. That's my mentality.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 20: Some people don't know, business owners don't know the difference
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 20: between having a good business and having a business that
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 20: is investable.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 17: Like you can invest in it. Because sometimes it's different. Well,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 17: a good business should be investable.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 20: Yeah, but I think sometimes people think, I mean, maybe
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 20: it's like a personal thing. Like I've met people who
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 20: have a great business. They have customers, they're profiting. But
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 20: when they go out to people for investments, people are
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 20: like poking holes across their business plan and their business
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 20: maps and they don't want to invest in it just yet.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 20: They're like, oh, come back, you know, next year or
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 20: Q4 or whatever, when we see a bit more of
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 20: whatever it is that you're doing.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 6: That's just part of like we're saying the restrictions of
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: access to capital. That person that you're describing isn't doing
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: anything wrong. You know, the fact that somebody's not willing
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 6: to give them a loan or invest and whatnot, that's
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: not a signal that they're doing something wrong. You can
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 6: have a completely healthy business and still be running up
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: against that obstacle. Matter of fact, we've even invested in
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: somebody who's dealing with that now. She has a contract
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: she recently got for $ 20 million ARR three years in
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 6: a row and looking for investors.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 17: Exactly.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 17: So it happens to good businesses all the time. That's
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 17: not like a sign that somebody is not investable.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: This is my last question.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 5: If fearless freedom works exactly the way you want it to,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: what does somebody stop being afraid.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: Of after they read it?
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 17: It's a few things.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 23: Yikes.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 6: I would say people stop being afraid of having difficult
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 6: conversations because I go over what the spirit of fear
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 6: is costing us. And I said, if you really write
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 6: down what your fear is costing you, you'll realize it's
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 6: too expensive to operate that way.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 16: Hmm.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 6: So that's one thing I can say. What I'm excited
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: about this book doing in the earth, I have a
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: whole playbook in here. Though the court case may be
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 6: the backdrop, it shows you in the book of how
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: we can actually have an equitable society. I have policy examples.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 6: I give a roadmap for government. I give a roadmap
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: for corporations. I give a roadmap for VCs, like that
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 6: this is really something possible that we can actually achieve.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: So I'm excited about that. And for everyday person, what
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: I'm excited about is the fact that everybody's dealing with
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 6: pivots right now. Everybody's dealing with failure right now. We
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 6: have 600,000 black women not even employed right now. This
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 6: book gives you that kind of encouragement that, okay, if
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: I can pivot, I saw this story this woman went through.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: I can keep going. So I'm looking to see all of,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: all of the catalytic inspiration and empowerment that's going to
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: come from it.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for joining us this morning. Absolutely.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 5: Go get fearless freedom right now. A manifesto for unlocking
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 5: wealth and equality for all.

• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: We a little delayed.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 7: Sugar night.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: A little delayed.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: I was looking at somebody that Nyla ain't playing, but
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: I was just like, damn.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: Why does he always do stuff like that?
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: No, because we was listening to somebody else playing.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah, we was just listening.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: You just came in.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 17: I came into the equation and tried to make the
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 17: block hot like that.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: That's right, but go ahead.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 17: It's scary. It's fire.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 12: I just, when I see you, I think of, like,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 12: brown sugar. It's scary.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: It's fire.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Charlamagne telling me to go cut some lines in it.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: I low-key want you to.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 12: No, he wants you to look like a five-heart beat
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 12: soul band.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: Like Kirk Franklin.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: The side of Kirk Franklin or, like, Bruno Mars, like,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: the part like that.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Don't do Robert Townsend.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 7: Don't do Robert Townsend.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: I need something.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 13: Something.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 17: I need to say something.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: It look fire.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: No, it's cute.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: You better not put no part in your hair like that. Man,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: get a part, man.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 17: I don't know about a part, but I do want, like, a... Something.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: You want to zhuzh it up a little bit.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: I got you.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 4: You know, you can't get that back if you zhuzh it, though.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 4: If you put a design in, you got to let
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: it grow back.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 12: Her hair grows so fast.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 25: It did grow back fast. That's why I got to
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 25: gel it. Extra, extra gel it down. Because now I'm
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 25: at least at, like, this much.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah, your hair grow fast.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 17: Anyway. All right, so let's get into these songs.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 25: I want to start off with Mark Lux, who's a
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 25: really big rapper out on the West Coast.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 12: He got a new record called On Point.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 24: I like that.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 12: I like that.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: Is that hyphy? Would that be considered hyphy?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I was about to ask the same thing.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: It's definitely giving Bay Area.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 25: West Coast a little bit of hyphy.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: I like that, man.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Definitely giving Bay Area West Coast.

  Speaker 17: All right.

  Speaker 25: Well, next, let's get into this new record from Nipah. Now,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 25: Nipah's originally from London, but he's been living in New York,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 25: I think, the past few months. This record is called Bittersweet.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 12: I can do a few things to this. I can
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 12: cook to this. I can strut, catwalk to this.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 17: All types of stuff.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 12: I like it.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: It's cool.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's different, but I really do like it. It's cool.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 12: It's cool. He can sing. Okay.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 17: So yeah, that's Nipah.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 25: New to America, but he's been making music for a
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 25: while now, and I've always been a fan. But the
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 25: last one I'm going to get into is one of
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 25: Drake's new songs that he premiered on that mini documentary.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. OVO Eli must have gave this one to you.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 25: I cannot confirm or deny, but just know, you know,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 25: he's keeping me hip to all the things OVO for sure.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 12: And this record is called Truth in Texas featuring Don Toliver.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: Don Toliver never misses to me. I love Don Toliver.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Drake too for this.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: Don Toliver, I feel like he's that icing on the cake,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: that cherry on top.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 12: I love what he does with his voice. I like
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 12: Don Sullivan.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: I'm a Don Sullivan fan.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: No, get through it. They sampled, right? Yeah, get through it.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 12: I feel like those records always hit. Like, you know
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 12: what I mean?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 24: It's a lot of them out there. Like, Don Sullivan
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 24: always does this type of mood with his songs.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 12: But what the hell was Drake saying?
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 25: I think he was slurring a little bit.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: Drunk, tipsy, high.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 4: I don't love those Drake records. I get it because
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: I know a lot of people do. But I like
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: more of the uptempo. I get it because that's going
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: to be one of the records that all the girls
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: are going to be singing.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: But if he did his.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: Regular poetry thing, he already got like a monotone voice
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 6: where he can just like get on there and talk
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: it smooth.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: You know, talk smooth.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 12: But he ain't had to sound like he had a
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 12: medical issue.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 17: This was catered to Texas.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's catered to Texas. Yeah, absolutely.
