  Speaker 1: two genders, which is true, but there's not more than
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: two sectors. The only two sectors are female and male.

• 14:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I kind of figured the game out.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Now it's like, you can't put her single out, you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because everybody's ay and ours. So
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you just gotta put the body of workout and just
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: hope people take. It's like a self help book if
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you can't take a chapter and put it out because
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that that might not be the chapter they want, you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So but I thought you were tired.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I thought the soul support of the liquor cump. Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: First of all, mister Forbes, listen, Yeah, I gotta getting
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: many calls as you start even talking like that, I know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: But for me, man, it was like, um, you know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: there's one of them things where like, you know, I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: do music, but I also want to do you know, business,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm passionate about that because I understand it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Just coming from the block and learning how to get money.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: That's something that drives me. And it's just like if
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: anybody know anything about life, it's like when you come
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: stagnant and you're just doing the same thing, you know
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, kind of like take away from who
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you are. So, where's the best place you've been on vacation? Man, Europe.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I just love Europe period. Man. Just it's just you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the foods, different airs, different moons, different, it's just different.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: And I took one of my homies the last time
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I went. He never been he's from you know, he's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: straight from the hood. But just to see the look
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: on his face, you know, just to see how life
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: is just so different, you know what I'm saying, Just
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to live through him, because I've been there a couple
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of times. I mean, just it was real, surreal. Have
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you ever cried somewhere? Have you ever been somewhere and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: been like, God, damn, I'm really not an AUNTI portion
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: no more selling that work. Nah, not yet. I guess
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I ain't been there. Yeah, yeah, I mean, but I've
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I've been in situations where I've sat back and realized
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: how blessed I am. Yeah, I've been there. When the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: last time you felt that feeling the gratitude? Oh, man,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Like maybe a couple of things. I was on my
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: flight and I was listening to the album, just kind
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of listening to the mixes and stuff, and I was
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: listening to the intro track The Entrepreneur that's yeah, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know it just kind of really brought bad
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: memories though, because I'm I'm telling the story about that,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm just like, damn, you know, I really went
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: through that, but you know, I'm still out here on
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: my grind. But at the same time, it just really
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: like took me back in that that memory lane. I'm like, then,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I just remember those hard times and going through all
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: this stuff, and it's just like overcoming it. It's just
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: like sometimes you don't pack yourself on the back enough,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: both in things because you're sow in real time. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: talked to Tip about it all the time. It's like,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: we accumulate so much and we're so successful in so
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: many different ways, we're gonna take the time to look
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: at the last accomplishment we did because we on to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the next thing. If that's your favorite Joe on the album,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: No man, Actually I love the John Legend song about
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: my mother. That was deep. I can't you know, I
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: don't even listen to that one, by the way, So
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it's like when I wrote it, I listened to it
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and he mixed it. I was done with it. But
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I definitely can't touch that one like I cry. But
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, because you know, my mother, she's got a situation,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: so she's not healthy right now. And it's just like
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that record basually described she's the real MVP. And it's like, um,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: when I jumped off the ports, I took a lot
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of my time trying to you know, come up and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: take care of everybody, and I ain't really take the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: time to be a son. And it's just like now
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: she she's not well. So it's just like when I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: when I see people moving around taking any mother's on tour,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: vacation doing things, it's just like, damn, you know, I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: got go see my mother in this place, and and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, it hurt because it's like I missed all
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that time and it's like I can't get none of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it back. And it's like I didn't getting them but
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: some money, you know what I'm saying. So I didn't
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: really gain much and I lost my mom. But like
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I think every day for like giving me like morals
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and teach me when integrity was and how to be
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a man, just like she, she don't really get a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: chance to see me in that light. But it's like
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: because now I'm of age and I have grew up,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: so I ain't really with the you know, but it's
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: just like she ain't here to see that. All right,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We got mold with jeez. When we come back, it's
• 18:29

• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you this, since this is the last of the installment
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: of Doug motivation and this is the last album on
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: deaf Jam. What's next man for me? Um right here
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: big figures, Wireless. Um, this is like my new baby
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I got. I got the Defiance Few Athlete Water of course,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: um like ENVYAM Heavy and real estate and uh obviously
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Avion Tequila. I got my agency Agency ninety nine, which
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: we manage all the brands and businesses. But um, yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: but what are you gonna do musically another deal? Are
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you gonna have your own independent label? I mean I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: just feel I feel like I got the infrastructure to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: do whatever. But it's just like for me right now,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I just gotta take some time to like but he
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: just I got my next ten fifteen year playing But
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I just want to really see I want to execute
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that because I look at people like Magic Johnson. I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: love Magic like that's my mentor, Like you know what
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I just love the fact that he's solid,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: he lives his life, he got balanced around him. He
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: takes care of his friends in the way he's giving
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: them experiences, and he's traveling. He see in the world.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: But if you look at other athletes that came up
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: with him, they're not set up like that. So that
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: just tells me that I gotta move in that way
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: if that's what I want to be in ten, fifteen,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: twenty years, because that's what I respect. You know what
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I love um, you know, Allen iverson
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to different people. And I know that Kevin Real was
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: hanging out in the strip clothes and me and all that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But then I have to look at somebody like Magic Johnson.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: After he was, you know, a great basketball player, Now
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: he's a great husband. Now he's a great father, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: now he's a great you know, mentor now he's he's
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a great businessman. And I watched this move because I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: remember when he had the NAA, we're gonna do that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the Magic Johnson theaters. Ye find its like we didn't
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: see the move then, you know, we were just going on.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: But he was already making his moves. And you really
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: think about Atlanta, all the history that had happened in
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Visits nightclub, right, so all the all the history that
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: happened there, he told all that down and build you know, uh,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: hot rises. So he was powerful enough to come take
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: our whole night life away and build high rises on
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that street and give them to his son, you know
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: what I mean. So I look at things like that
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and I go, man like, to me, that's that's the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: American dream. Absolutely, you know what I'm saying. So it's like, I,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm pretty cold at what I do. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: think I'm in Charlotte Maine's Top five. I know, so
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you got you gotta be hard to be there. But
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it's just like, is that the only contribution I want
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to make to the world. I don't think so well.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: The album is out tomorrow, TM one on four TM
• 22:51

• 23:12
  Speaker 1: We were talking about Little Wayne's daughter, Yes, little an
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Antoya Rice daughter, and she went to this cucumber pool
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: party and she previously had been really not excited about
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: these women doing this cucumber challenge. So people were getting
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: at her for being at the party, but she said, Okay, guys,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I want to say this. I went to the party
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to spy on a wife and Lucci females, don't act
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: like you never did it. But when I heard about
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the cucumber activities, I left. To be honest, I made
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: myself look like a fool for this man, and I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: apologize for allowing you guys to see it. I'm young
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and still learning. Now, have you ever a spot on
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: your man? Before you have? I ever did a pop up? Yeah?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I've done a pop up. I don't trying
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to think if I've ever gone to a party, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I've definitely popped up at his house. I did that
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. One time I actually climbed through
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the window. That's a real pop up. And that's because
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I knew something was going on. And sometimes even though
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we know things, we want to see it with our
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: own eyes. I don't know why, but I guess that
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: was really the end of it for me, to be
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: able to see somebody doing something with my own eyes. Yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I've done it once to twice. Charlemagne always, I grew
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: up a very insecure young man, too, and when you're
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the type of person like me who was cheating on
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: my woman and made me feel guilty, so that on
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: top of my insecurity, I thought she was doing dirt
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: when she wasn't. So yes, I popped up at jobs.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I've popped up at dorms, iopped up class apartments. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: popped up the class. Will my motorcycle right to a class. Well,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: well you think she was doing in class? I don't know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You just want to see maybe she
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: passing a note, maybe she holding her hands like as
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a guy a guy when a guy is already doing dirt,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: like you automatically think your woman is just like you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: sucking everywhere. You know what I'm saying. Like even if
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: she's not like any you can go down anytime, any place.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So yes, I definitely had guys pop up on me.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: That was at parties. And listen, I'll leave a party
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: if somebody tried to pop up on me, I slide
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: out and like this is ridiculous. All you pop up
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: like you know, like I say, like say, like you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: my wife was in college. They used to be partying
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: at this place called five points five pence puts all
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the college kids used to go on Thursday night. I mean,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: anybody could go hang out there, but that wasn't really
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: my scene. But you just pop up at a random place,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: like what are you doing here? Like, you know, you
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: just just be in Charlotte Ruce while she in there,

• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you know you just want to make sure somebody doing
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it right by you. I get it, I get it,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: all right. We got more coming up next with a
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: breakfast club wanting everybody is DJ Envy and Angela ye
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Cholamine the guy. We all the breakfast club. We got
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: some special guests in the building. Yes, sir, you have
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Michael Eric Dyson, who has a book that's coming out,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: jay Z Made in America. Yes, sir, and it's of
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: course on jay Z as well. That's true too. Couldn't
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: be better. I mean, from your mouth to God's ears.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: What is this book about? Well, you know, as uh,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: sister Angela was saying, I've been teaching a course on
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: jay for like the last decade and nearly the last decade,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: i should say, And so I wanted to take what
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I've been doing in that class and put in the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: book because it appeared to me as it should to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: anybody when you're pouring over these lyrics. This dude is
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: a rhetorical genius, his verbal invention, He's got all kinds
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of skills, and the irony is as great as people
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: think Jay is. He's underrated. He's underrated because they don't
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: understand the mechanics behind what he's doing, the kind of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: poetic rules and inventions, the use of metaphor similarly, how
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: sophisticated it is. And then when you're adding there the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: fact he don't even write it down. This book kind
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of is the finishing of the trilogy of figures who
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: have been incredibly important and influential in the world of
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: hip hop. It's interesting, you've been teaching this course at
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Georgetown for ten years and so much has happened in
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: jay Z's life in the course of that ten years.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: So how do you adjust to that as you come
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: up with your syllabus every year. Yeah, that's a great point. Well,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you got to involve, you know, And and Hope is
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: putting out so much work and putting in so much
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: work and doing so many things because it's not just
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the music he's doing, it's what he's doing beyond the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: culture um of hip hop itself, or it's especially beyond rap,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: so his business ventures, his engagement in the world, his
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurial um, you know, exploits, his criminal justice reform stuff,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and then just the music itself,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: just the words themselves, the density of his poetic inventiveness.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: It's something that I'm preoccupied with. So every time out,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you know, we focus on a different aspect or a
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: different level of his creativity and look at new stuff
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: he's done. Well do you guys communicate with each other? Um,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty routinely. Um. You know. The best
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: best thing he did for me on this book. People say, well,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: it's just an interview now, because I got my ideas.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I don't need to interview. Hope, I've been I've been
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: thinking about him for a decade. The most amazing thing
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: he did for me was to allow me to quote
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: from these lyrics so that I could stretch out and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: interpret him. Because you know, and most most publishers are
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: very skittish, only do half a sentence. You got to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: pay for it copyright, We might get sued, And so
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I would reach out to my safe I say, man,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I I can you help, can you get God forgive
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: me for my BRANDT delivery. But I remember vividly what
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the did to me. Imagine me allowing you to nitpick
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and me portray me like a pickan me. So you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and I had asked it him, could he could he
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: give me permission? And he when he signed off, it
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: blew my publisher's mind. But that's why even on the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: cover you see the lyrics to the old JA song
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: emboss there. That's pretty dope cover. I must say I didn't.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't, I didn't do it, but it's a pretty
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: nice cover. And we wanted to do something that was
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: worthy of hoping on the inside you and see that
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: boskiot influenced kind of artwork on the inside there, So
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: you know he gave permission to do that, and that
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: that makes a big difference. Why is the book dedicated
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: to Michael Rubin and Robert Frederick Smith? Yeah, well you
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: know both of them are interestingly enough, are connected to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Jay on his criminal justice reform, you know, reform alliance.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: And you know Michael Rubin was instrumental in helping Meek
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Mill get out of jail. So for that alone, I
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: gotta give you some love. Yeah, But then understanding that
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you got to leverage that to a larger issue that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Jay is concerned about. Cash bales are jacked up, the
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: kind of dysfunction of the criminal justice system that saw
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Meek Mill go in and out of prison for parole
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: violations for a decade for some nonsense when he was
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: a child or a young team or a teenager. And
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: then you know, to address that as he used to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: call him owners but partners of the Philadelphia seventy six ers,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: is worthy of that in Robert Frederick Smith, when you
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: go to the Moorhouse and drop forty mile on him
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and say, look, I will take care of your bills
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and your future is vouchsafed and it's secure as a
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: result of what this gesture is about, I gotta show
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: love and respect. So both of them are connected to
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: that reform alliance, but both of them have done significant
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: things to advance the ball in terms of advocating for
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the future of young black men in America and young
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: black people. What what what? What is Jay Z gotten
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: right in this whole NFL situation and what have you
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: gotten wrong? Well, look, I think that you know, people say, oh,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: he's sold out, he just messed up. He first of all,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: he's rocking the Colin Kaepernick jersey, and then he turns
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: around and he's and he's telling other artists not to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: be involved in the Super Bowl. And then he turns
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: around and he's advising them, and he's cutting a deal.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I think what people misunderstand is that you got to
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: have a three point shooter, and you got to have baseline.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: You got to have Steph Curry, and you got to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: have Lebron going in and jamming the ball, and you
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: got to have people occupying both spaces inside outside, Martin
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Viking Junior standing outside, I have a dream criticizing the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: social injustices that prevail. But then Martin Viking Junior going
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: inside with Lyndon Baines Johnson the President and saying, how
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: do we craft the Civil Rights Bill of nineteen sixty four?
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: How do we craft legislation for the Voting Rights Act? Now,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the Voting Rights Act is brought into existence not because
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of the good graces of the presidency or the desire
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: even though LBJ wanted to do that, but he wanted
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: to have a social condition that prevailed a political pressure
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: brought to bear to make it sensible to do so.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: That's how things work. And so when jay Z is
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: out putting pressure on the NFL, people don't give him
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: credit for this. That the fact that he said, don't
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: go do the Super bowls and halftime show. And look
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: we in stadiums too, m we in stadiums too, that
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: puts pressure. They didn't just do it because of the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: goodness of their hearts. They saw this man will significant
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: economic influence and cultural power, and as a result of that,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the pushback was genuine and palpable. So now they invite
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: him in to have a conversation. What's these uses to go? No,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I want you to do right. Oh, but I'm not
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you what I think is right. Well, if
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I tell you what you're doing is wrong, and then
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: you invite me into the conversation to say what's right,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I gotta sit down and tell you. So for me,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: jay Z going inside is really responding to the pressure
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: he brought to bear on the outside and sitting down
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: talking about either the acts that are going on in
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: halftime all right, but the social justice agenda. And do
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: we really doubt that Colin Kaepernick, whatever you think of that,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, a bold, amazing, iconic social justice figure, would
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: never have had an opportunity to even have what is
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: now a botched you know, out in audition for the
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: NFL without jay Z bringing pressure to bear. Now the
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: people who were critical Jay said, well, damn you think
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: at Leasy could have done. It's got my man a job.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: First of all, that any high work. Are you not
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: understanding of how it works? Roger Goodell, who is the commissioner,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: can't even go to a team and make them do it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: But can they leverage authority? Yeah? Can they say wink
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: wink not and not come home? Bro, Let's do something
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: for this guy. Jay Z is putting enormous pressure. You know,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, if he wanted to do that, he would
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: have done so before jay Z came on the scene.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: So we know jay Z's presence was significant there. So
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: for me, it's the inside versus outside dichotomy that we've
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: got to reckon with and we got to stop the hate.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: If you disagree with me, then I'm a comb then
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a sellout. I'm not saying that they are not
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: people who have done dastardly things in the name of
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: racial duty and who deserved to be called out or
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: at least called to account, but the ready, ready resort
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: to trying to beat people up. And you a cone
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and you you know what, you coon and somebody today,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna be coon the next day. You canceling
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: somebody today, You're gonna get canceled yourself the next day.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: We got more with Michael Eric Dison where we come back,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club back, It's the Breakfast Club.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: DJ n v angel Ye Charlomagne the guy. We have
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Michael Eric Diyson in the building. What do you think
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: about Stephen A. Smith's take on Colin Kaepernick not actually
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: conforming with too what the NFL wanted him to do. Well,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I was on Look, Stephen A. Smith is
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine. I'm friendly with Colin Kaepernick. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: love and adore him, and I think, look, what Stephen A.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Smith was trying to suggest is that in the context
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: of what the NFL is, first of all, we know
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they messed up. We know they jacked up. We know
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: they took a job from you that you shouldn't have
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: had taken from you. You know this right. Anyway, that's
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: not a mystery. The fact that Colin Kaepernick even as
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: to be in this position is fundamentally unjust the fact
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that he is to be begging for something, not begging
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: asking for something, an opportunity to show that he is
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: capable of performing in an NFL when he didn't because
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: of his own merit old to do that when because
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: it wasn't his arm wasn't good, it wasn't that he
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: not true enough, He had some troubles when he was starting,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: and he was benched in favor of somebody else and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: so on. That's all true. But the man still wills
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: tremendous talent, and it is better than half the people
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: starting right now, and certainly the people they go on
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the street and find and bring into the NFL, because
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: their desk before a quarterback. So there's no question that
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the white supremacists outlooking mindset in worldview and feltonshonging in
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: every other word you can generate of these owners that
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: prevents them from understanding that their own bigotry and bias
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: will keep Colin Kaepernick on the sidelines. Is a serious
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: issue that cannot be dismissed. And this is the tradition.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: If I can say that that some black people, including
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith, come from, here's the position black people
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: always against the eyes. It ain't never fair, Right, Martin
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: LUs King Jr. Could forget a waiver on a contract
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: forgetting that. I'm not saying that that's not important, right,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: because if the waiver being signed was to suggest that
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: somehow you would you would surrender your right to be
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: able to sue in the future or to accuse people
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: of further collusion. Right, That's that's idiotic, and nobody trying
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: to do that. But the broader issue is this pharaoh
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: will never provide you a scholarship for freedom. Right. The
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: people who are your enemies and your opponents will never
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: grant you even the fair conditions for you to compete.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: But the best of our people have competed against the odds.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Was it fair for Jackie Robinson to have to live
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the way he did? No? Was it right? No? Did
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: he do it? Yes? Should we have to know? Should
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick have to exist by a kind of segregated
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Jim Crow law in the modern era in twenty nineteen,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: when we've had, you know, voting rights for black people
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: in the South since nineteen sixty five. No? No, but
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: his white supremacy is still real? Yes? Does it amplify
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: within the cauldrons of you know, the NFL and American
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: institutional culture and corporate cult. Absolutely. So the thing is
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: knowing that going in the door, you don't never expect
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: them to be fair. You demand, you request, but you
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: go out there and show, you know what, even what
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: your funky, foul, nefarious tricksterism, I'm gonna show you. I
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: can toss this rock, I can chuck this pill, I
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: can throw this pig skin, and I can do what's
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: necessarily do. Put the burden back on them. And then
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: if they don't hire you, even though we know now
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: he still can play, they already know that if they
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: don't hire you, that's on them. That's up to them.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: So I think there's a tradition of black response, and
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of black people, Oh my god,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: this is the politics of respectability, and you're trying to
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: prove that you're twice as good just to compete. I'm sorry,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sixty one years old. That's the generation I'm from, right,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: So my point is is that yes, there is a
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: thing such as loving Colin Kaepernick, supporting Colin Kaepernick, wanting
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: him to do the best in the right thing, and
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: suggesting this, you could tighten up some of you some
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: of your strategy too. You could there's a way in
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: what you might approach this that might be different. This
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: is not to put the burden on him like you
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: do the right thing and then the NFL was let
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: off the hook. No, but we know we're living in
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: a white supremacist society where the patent unfairness and hypocrisy
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: is pervasive. So knowing that going in the door, be
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: armed to be able to compete and to deal with this.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: This is why, by the way, when Martin Luther King
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Junior and other figures in his brand to the movement
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: were involved, they were rigorously trained. They were taught principles,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: they were talked about, They were taught about social injustice,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: how to deal with potential scenarios that would prevail, that
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: allowed them to be able to do their best on
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the battlefield. I would tell you something, man, I agreewed
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of what you said, most of it. And
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: if I was capp and I would have thought that
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: waiver what he was trying to get me to sign
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: over my rights to, you know, not be able to
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: sue the future. And if they would have gave me
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: an ultimatum that said, hey, I don't know if this
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: is true. I need to get ultimatum that I said,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: take it to leave it. You got two hours, right,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: I have said them. Of course, who wouldn't do that?
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: So you wouldn't have held the other tryout. And if
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I did hold the other tribe, I would have only
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: held it for attention. So when I got in front
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of them cameras, I put them on blast with that waiver.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Well see that's the thing. See, here's the part of
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: the problem. You know, the NFL is saying one thing
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: about the waivers. They're swearing up and down. That's not
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: what it is, right, it's being misrepresentative, of course, and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: cap side is saying something else. So we don't really
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: know what they showed them. I saw an article yesterday
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: where they showed the standard waiver and waver cap got.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: It was definitely more language than caps would well, no doubt.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: And in the bottom line is beyond the waiver, the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: man has been mistreated. Ain't nobody else getting subject to
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: what he's being subjected. So it's criminal at that level,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But that's different from us
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: than trying to figure out what is the strategic response?
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: And we don't have to be sellouts because we say hey,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: there's a way in what you can do it is
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: it is it wrong to say, hey, Cap, it might
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: be good that when people trying to get at you
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: who know stuff about this, you could respond to them.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Right now. Let me give you an example. I love
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. I was at the Tyler Perry event, you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and when Beyonce thanked me for you know, showing love
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: to them all the time. After that, I don't know
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: really what happened. I'm just not sure if the time
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: stopped moving, if the float of eternity had descended with uh,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: you know, powerful and poetic intensity, stop Hayden. So the
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: thing is is that Kaepernick came up to me said, look, man,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I'm have to straighten you out about what's going on.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I said, cool, I'm available, right, I said, but Cap,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I'll be texting you. You give me a text when
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: you want me to be your pr guy to tell
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: what's going on in the world, But when I'm trying
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: to get at you, to interview you. I've defended Kaepernick
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: in my last three books and tears. We cannot stop
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: a sermon of White America and what truth sounds like?
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Uh J Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin in the Conversation
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Unfinished Conversation on Race in America, and now in this
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: book on jay Z, I love and adore him. I
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: admire him, but I think that there's a way in
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: which we could talk honestly behind the scenes about things. Now.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Ain't gotta be me and miss Nessa, a lovely, brilliant,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: wonderful woman's partner, you know, said Hey, I want to
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: talk to you. I call both of them. Ain't got
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: no response. Now, I'm not trying to put them on blast.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: That ain't my point, because you ain't gonna call Mikeelreg Dyson.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying, talk to people, and I hope you
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: are in your community. But is it wrong to say
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: we can talk off stage, off the phone, behind the scenes,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: so I could offer whatever I do. I kind of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: do this for a living. I've written twenty one books.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I've been teaching for thirty years. I'm out here in
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: these screets. I'm doing what I do. I'm saying I
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: do have something, and people usually pay me a bunch
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: of money for that. I'm trying to offer it to
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you for free. You ain't gonna take my advice. But
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I'm saying engage, but don't be upset. Then in the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: public sphere and square when I have to then talk
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: about there could be alternatives to strategic intervention. Can't do it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: It's hard for Colin. And that's where the trust people
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: at this moment, I can understand what I get it,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: they get it. They get a lot of death threads,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: and especially I think this whole situation with jay Z,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: it just it divided the culture in a way that
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't It shouldn't have it shouldn't have done too.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: At the same time, if you're telling, if you're challenging
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: me about you want to straighten me out, and I
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: call you to get straightened out, and you don't straighten
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: me out, dog get in on me and listen here,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean therefore because I didn't hear from you,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do. I'm gonna be principled in my
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: response regardless. Yeah, it's going to speak on what you
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: know from what you I'm gonna speak for what I believe,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: what I know, what I think, how I reflect the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: understanding of how this stuff is operated in the past,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the ways in which leaders have clashed and disagreed. This
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: ain't the first time. Cancer culture didn't invent it. It
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: just amplifies it more. It makes it more immediate. We
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: got more with Michael Eric Dison where we come back,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: don't move. It's to breakfast club the morning. You know,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want to ask you about but to well, Honestly,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I wish Cap would just say the NFL, that's number one.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Honest I wish you would just be like, but I
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to play no more. I know, but look
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: at you. If somebody did that to you and they say,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I just wish Charlotte Magne would just say radio that's
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: what he that's his life. I was. I wouldn't beg
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: keep you starting the podcast is different than the whole league. Yeah,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: come on, I'm just saying, man, it comes a point
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: in time where you have to have some integrity about yourself.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: He has and stop and stop kind of like knocking
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: on these white people, dough when you know they don't
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: want to let you in. Well, all of us a
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: knocking on the white man's door. Oh you had to do?
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Is this a black on radio session? No, But I'm
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: not knocking. No, but if then you ain't gonna knock.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: But if you but look how he said, Okay, they're
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: coming to get you. You ain't gonna knock, but I'm
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: gonna get you. All I'm simply saying is they was.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: If they kicked me out right for three years, that's theory.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: They kicked me out for three years, had no money,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: support your family, your wife, looking at you. He got money,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: though he got money. But I'm saying what he's passionate about.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: He grew up and this is his life. Like football.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: He wants to play in the NFL. Dude, he got skilled.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: He was doing the vicep but he is Kaepernick. He
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: was one throw from winning the Super Bowl. This is
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: what he's born to do. If somebody tells me, Dison,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: you can't speak, you can't teach, I'm gonna go teach
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: on the side road somewhere that's cold. But why deny
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: me a legitimate, legitimate opportunity to speak in a classroom
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that I've earned a degree for And the only reason
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I can't do it, to apply my wares and to
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: practice my craft is because of some arbitrary, racist refusal
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge me that that would go down real tough.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I think what we're seeing right now is the suffering
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: that comes from arguing with reality. Because I think Colin
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Kaefernick is bigger than football. I think he's I think
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: he made. I think he stands for more than what
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: football is, and it might be as great as a gift.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Sometimes you gotta pay attention to
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: how God has pushed you in another direction, and especially
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: after last week and they gave him that wave of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: that clearly shows they're still trying to collude against him
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: by t how would have gave him the middle finger
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: and been like, if y'all, if y'all Negro still watching
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: the NFL, y'all really awesome? Sell up. Well, here's the thing.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: In the dark, the divine in the demonic feel the same.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: How you do this right? Right? Remember Jacob was wrestling
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: with the angel and it said Jacob wrestled all night
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: long until the morning. Why did he wrestle until the morning,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes in the dark, the devil and God feel
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: the same. They do the same stuff. They push you,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: they irritate you, they make you mad. You don't know.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: So what you think is God could be evil, and
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: what you think is evil could be God. Remember Joseph,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: with the Code of Many Colors, said you meant it
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: for evil, but God meant it for good. But at
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the moment that you're the recipient of and the object
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: of derision and scorn, that stuff is awful tough to take.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: It might be God's speaking, but it sounds like the
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: devil's voice you here. So all of us have to
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: struggle with what God's intent is for our lives. We
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: don't know until later on. Maybe now he will understand,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: but that's not for me to say. So you've got
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: to understand what your gift is, what your time is,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: what your opportunity is, and that's not for us to say.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: And so again I would hesitate to say to Colin Kaepernick,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: clearly your destiny is X, Y and Z, because the
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: attempt and effort that he's making and being rejected in
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: public is an object lesson for somebody to look. So
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: maybe God's purpose is for us to see the public
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: exposure of the shenanigans, the hypocrisy, and in the incredible
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: manipulations that are going on, which are just as effective
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: as him occupying a slot on an NFL team and
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: doing what he's gonna do. We don't know, but we can't.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: We can't impose that. All we can do is derive
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: meaning and benefit and advantage from what we see going on.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: And I would never presume to tell Colin Kaepernick what
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: to do with his life. I support him with whatever
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: he does. I just want us to be strategic in
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: our assistance to him and our core operation with him
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: and trying to figure out the best route to redemption
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: in this moment, and no simple conversation about oh, you know,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: you're a sellout because you said this, and you're a
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: sellout because you agree with this, and you're a sellout
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: because you think he should have an alternative strategy, or
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: you're a sellout because you might have some constructive criticism
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: about what be being done. And if your goal is X,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Y and Z, let me help you achieve it. That's healthy,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: that's beautiful. Now a lot of black people say, well,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: why can't we do it in public? When the last
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: time you've been invited to a black meeting? What the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: hell is it? Where the hell is the black meeting?
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Is that the NAACP all Negros ain't a members of
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: that is that the Urban League ain't members of That
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: isn't a crackhouse everybody can't get in. So my point
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: is it's a secret one a couple of weeks ago
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: unless you know that I'm Yo Negro and I did
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: not get invited, and we need and we need to
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: have more of them. Well you know what we doin
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: there ain't no black meet that's the point. They're black meetings, right.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: So the point is the mythology of the necessity for
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: uniformity and unity among black people undercuts the vibrant diversity
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: and the rambunctious complexity of our existence. What I mean,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: all of us ain't got to be on the same
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: page and believe the same thing in order for us
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: to understand that, we got to be in the communities
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: that love and appreciate us and move forward, don't hate
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: on nobody else. Right in the Bible, Paul said, Paul,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: and Silas and all in Timothy, Look, we got a part.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: You're on your path, I'm on mine. You don't like
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: TD Jakes. Listen to Freddie Haynes. You don't like Freddy Haynes, right,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: listen to Damon Glenn fi Hunt. Come on, listen to
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: mister f you don't like far Cup my brother in
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: the way in which right, And let me tell you
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: about Minnister fare Count. Now, mister fair hunt inboded me
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: to um to his house. Right. This was years and
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: years ago. I was like, well, damn, what I do?
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: What I do? What I do? I said, because I
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: said the first thing I said, Minnister fair Count. I
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: have been very critical of you. I've been critical to
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: you about what I perceived to be anti Semitic rhetoric.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: And I've been critical to you about the homophobia that
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I think is in your rhetoric. Right, I ain't gonna
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: lie to him. I'm at his crib. I'm hoping this
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: ain't the last time I'm gonna be saint. And he said,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: my brother, how can we love and engage each other
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: if we do not in love correct each other. So
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: if you share with me your particular perspective and i
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: you mine, then we have the possibility of overcoming four
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: hours four hours. Right, I got real differences, I got
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: real critiques, but the possibility of opening up at least
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: to talk about what those might mean, his critiques of me,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: my critiques of him, and together we figure out this
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: ain't my community. That ain't your tribe. All your skin
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: folk ain't your kin folk to me, jay Z. The
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: reason I wrote this book, the reason I celebrate his
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: you know, transition from hustler on the street to hustler
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: in the corporate scene, The reason I celebrate his poetic genius,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: the reason I celebrate his politics. Jay Z didn't start
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: in politics when he joined What What What What? Mama Right.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: He was talking on his records all the time, but
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: he was combining. He knew on his first album. Oh,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I gave him serious revelation and prophecy, and they ain't
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: feeling it like that. The same way with nas right,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: So you gotta figure out. I gotta get my message
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: through in a way when the rims in the system
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: may not tell him. I got to quote Biggie, but
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: then I got to get in Ben Lydden Ben happening
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan right talking about the anthrax. He said, back then,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: back when the police was out, kind of the black man.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: He's snicking that, sneaking that in to some big pimping
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: because he understands that you can't give medicine straight. You
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: got to get the castor or with sugar. That's right right,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: you got to give the hard lesson with honey. So
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: jay Z has brilliantly fused and merged the impost toward
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: poetic genius and understanding the marketplace in an unparalleled fashion.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: And so this book celebrates that genius Hove is a
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: great man. Not because his poetic conventiveness and rhetorical genius
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: is so remarkable that it demands repeated listening. It does.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: He is a great man because he's been willing to
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: grow and evolve and to tell the truth along the way.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: My man, Michael Leric Dyson, thank you so much for that.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: That's right, does it did have a copy of the
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: book already, Yes, he does. It's out right now, make
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: sure you go get it. Jay Z Made in America
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: by Michael Eric Dyson. Appreciate you. My brother always kills you.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: It's a breakfast clum you get you are, don't I'm
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: gonna fatten all that around your eye. This man two
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: dog and blowers. Many wait with Charlemagne to make a
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: judgment who was going to be on the donkey of
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the day. They chose you for the breakfast donkey of
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the day to day donkey of today. Go to a
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: young woman named Ties you to Russia. Ties. It is
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: twenty nine years old, and she's the great State of
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: New Jersey dropping a close bumps in New Jersey. Dammit, Now,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: before we talk about Todger, let me ask y'all a
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: question out there. When the last time you got stood up?
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: When it's the last time you told someone you wanted
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: to take them out and didn't show up? Huh? When
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: is the last time you told someone to come over
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: and you fell asleep on their ass? I have homeboys
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: now who are not married, not in a committed relationship,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: not part of this faithful black male community, and they
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: tell me stories like this all the time, especially when
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: we out of time. All right, women come to the
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: hotel and be downstairs in the lobby for hours because
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: said individual has fallen asleep on their ass. Every time
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I hear stories like this, I feel for those women
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: because to me, this is a different level of disrespect. Right.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: If a man calls you over and tells you that
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: he fell asleep on you, he's an eight lying because
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: he was going through his phone and decided to call
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of different chicks, And whoever got there first
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: is who he's with. Hinch why he is not answering
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: for you or b you just don't excite him like that. Okay,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: you're not falling asleep on a woman you are really
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: excited to see. In fact, that adrenaline rush you get
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: from seeing a being around a woman you're into. It's
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: gonna wake your ass up, all right, you got a
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: woman coming over, you get excited. All right, you think
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get some ass, So you gonna hop your
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: ass in the shower, and that shower gonna wake you up.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Then you're gonna lotion up, throw on some basketball shorts
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: in the fresh T shirt, spray some cologne on, roll
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: up something smoke, paul you a glass or something, and
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: waiting for the young lady you called over to arrive. Okay,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: I fell asleep. You fell asleep. How boring was your
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: box that the thought of you coming over puts a
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: man to sleep? All right? So yes, ladies, you should
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: feel extremely disrespected when you come to see a man
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and he tells you I fell asleep. That you wouldn'teel
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: disrespected to eat that happened to you. Yeah, I'd be
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: annoyed that I came out of my way. Then that's
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened to Taja and Russell? Now? According to
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: the New York Daily News, Taga was the side chick
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: all right, that's the New York Daily News words, not mine,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: all right. Tiger was this young man she was visiting
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: side chicken. The young man told authorities that he asked
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Russell to his house for sex, but he fell asleep
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: before she arrived. Disrespectful. When Tiger got to the man's house,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: she called him eight times, eight times, but he didn't
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: pick up. After eight phone calls, she allegedly text the man,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I see you want to die, followed by you wasted
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: my money to come out of hire. And then around
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: four am, security camera saw Maga knocking on this young
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: man's door and he still didn't answer. Ladies, when this
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: is over, rewind and listen to what I said about
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: a man disrespecting you. The level of disrespect this young
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: woman TiSER received. It's four in the morning. You got
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: there and called eight times, You're knocked on his door
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: and he eggetting the hell out of you not to
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: mention you already his side chick. What else is there
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: to do, especially after you sent him that I see
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: you want to die? Texts well, you gotta attempt to
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: kill him. Let's go to News twelve New Jersey to
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: see how tire and Russell hands in this situation. A
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: woman accused of setting a man's home on fire after
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: she was invited over for a late night rendezvous. Police
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: say the small twenty nine year olds Hesia Russell, went
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: to the home on Barbara Avenue, North Jersey. Dot Com
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: reports the man fell asleep did not answer the door.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: They say that's when Russell set the home on fire.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: The man was taken to the hospital with burns and
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: smoking elation. Todger was determined to have a hot date.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: All right, Remember when I told you that if a
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: man falls asleep on you before you get there, that
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: means the thought of your poom poom makes them sleepy.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: You out there giving out that boring ass box. Well,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I think Todger realized that in her mind, and she
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: was not leaving that house that night without the word
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: fire coming out of that man's mouth. She wanted that
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: worry to be used to describe her vagina, but she
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: didn't get that opportunity, so she decided to set his
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: crib ablaze. Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you other
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: than her having an arson charge and an attempted murder
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: charge and being held without bail. I kind of feel him,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: all right. See, let's just be a lesson to you fools,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: all right. Stop standing women up like that after you
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: didn't waste the their time, energy and money that comes
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: see you. All right, it's disrespectful and just not right.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: But ladies, don't be like Taja. When a man doesn't
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: value you, doesn't appreciate you, stands you up. Don't do
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: what Tija did, even though it hurts not to react,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: all right, don't do what Taija did. Yeah, I know
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: you really want to work this out, but I don't
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: think this man is ever gonna change all right when
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: you do, but they don't. I just think it's best
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: you go your separate ways, all right. Sometimes you have
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: to ask yourself, why should I stay in this relationship
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: when you're hurting, baby, you ain't happy baby. Let's there's
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: just so many other things you gotta deal with, So
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: I just think that you should let it burn, all right.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Please let me remond. Give Tiger Russell the biggest he
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: hall he ha he ha, he's stupid. Volume I might
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: put something on our books. I might might just put
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: bars eminems or something, some peanut eminems or something. My goodness,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: I feel our pain a little bit. All right, well,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: thank you for that donkey today now very literal and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: true to her words. What would get for having her hot?
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I thought at four in the morning. All right, we
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: got more coming up next with a breakfast club, the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: breakfast club e j envy angela ye Charlemagne the god.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: We are the breakfast Club. We have a special guest
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: in the belt, Miss Tina Lifford. Welcome, good morning, Welcome,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed black and Holly favorite. How you know that's
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: the truth. That's right me too. You got a book out,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: the Little Book of Lies, a little book of big lies?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: What was a big lie? Big lie is anything that
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: has ever happened in your in your life that has
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: left you feeling less than, not good enough or incapable.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Oh so, basically like the traumas that you've dealt with,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: traumas you know that teacher that said something true to you.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Hold on to that experience of seeing something that traumatized
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: you like my father did. Whatever it is that stold
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: your power is a lie, that co work that talks
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: about you all the time, A lies about you. Say
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: it again. Now you heard me, I said that coworker
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: lies about absolutely. Well, if in fact that lie actually
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: steals your power, then it is a lie. If it
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't steal your power, then it's just noise. Okay, Like
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: people we were talking about the term by ugly when
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: people say by ugly, and I've been getting that my
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: whole life, but I didn't realize it was a bad
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: term until this morning. And isn't that good? You know,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: because if you didn't internalize its power, then then it
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: had no power over right. But when those events happen
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: in our lives and they wind up being stuck in
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: our emotional system and now they begin to shape how
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: we see and experience ourselves and others, that's a lie.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: And it's a lie that we need to take our
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: power back. So you've said in this book that emotional
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: pain and frustration that we have that comes from these
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: guys that we've been told a lot of times. When
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: we have these chronic issues that we're dealing with, it's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: because something that somebody said to us has really stuck
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: with us and we've internalized, we have internalized. Do you
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: use that pain sometimes and you're acting. Oh my goodness, gracious, yes,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I mean I think that one of the best parts
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: of being an actor is that the profession requires that
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: you explore your internal experiences and be able to access them.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: And so being able to touch pain and old pain
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: is what a lot of people call the method act
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: method process. I don't do that. I so love the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: human condition. I so understand that we are all the
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: same on the outside. We got a lot of different
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: details going on, but on the inside, when it comes
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: to the emotional part of us, were the exact same.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: If in fact, something hurts you, then that hurt becomes
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: a part of our experience. It loops in our lives
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: until we actively go in and address it. And so
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: it's really easy for me to as an actress, tap
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: into emotional pain because I know what it is right
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: and I don't have to bring up, you know, something
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: from my past. I just know if I'm living the
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: life of the character in front of me, then that
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: character is at an emotional place that I know. I've
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: been there, We've all been there. Everybody could be an actor.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: If you can accept and relate to and own your
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: emotional experience, Now you dedicated this book to your brother. YEA,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: let's talk about that. Ye what happened to your brother?
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: So let's start with the fact that my brother started
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: smoke can Read when he was maybe eleven years old.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: And I know this after the fact, right, But he
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: died at fifty from a drug overdose, two weeks out
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: of rehab. And the reason the book is dedicated to
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: my brother is because he truly was one of the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: best people that I know, but he was sensitive in
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: a way that wasn't good in this world, particularly when
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: he also had the challenge of being of not being
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: able to read. And at that time, they didn't know
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: that it was dyslexic, that he was dyslexic, right, So
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: you go from the early experiences of not being like
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: the other kids, and then my father also could not
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: read and that was not something that my father dealt
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: with appropriately where my brother was concerned. So my brother
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: had no rules, right, and my father was able to
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: power through where my brother couldn't. And I think that
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: my brother and my father, and I'll say this without
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: any sense of protection, I think that my father was
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: hard on my brother because he was making him ready
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: for the world. But he was hard on a child
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: that was more sensitive than he was, and so that
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: child needed a different level of interaction and care. Oh
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: that's powerful. The reason that's so powerful is because as men,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: we have issues with our father and the way they
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: may have been tough on us, the way they may
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: have discipline us, Because as you grow older, you realize
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: it was kind of just doing the best they could.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: He was teaching based off the experiences that he'd been doing,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: what he had learned, and his limited knowledge of himself
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: and his way of navigating the world right, which really,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: you know, if you if you are projecting your way
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: of navigating the world onto someone else and you're not
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: taking time to actually know that person, you might very
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: well be running over the very essence of another human beings. Yeah,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to help them be like you, right,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Because we always talk about kids and they'll say, oh, kids,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: they're too sensitive nowadays, But all kids have different levels
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: our sensitivity. Absolutely, we all need to slow down and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: really connect with the person in front of us. And
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: the reason we don't do that is that we are
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: afraid that we don't want to challenge our own mindset
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: and beliefs, and so we need everyone to agree that
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: the way in which we see it is the way
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: in which it is and is correct, and to challenge
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: our beliefs is to put us in a place of discomfort,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: because if I don't know what I know, then how
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: do I survive? How do you feel about marijuana now?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Because you mentioned marijuana and your brother started smoking at eleven,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: so many different states of legalizing it, but obviously for
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: your brother could have been a gateway drug to something stronger.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about marijuana use. Marijuana was not
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: my brother's gateway. Payne was his gateway. Oh right. I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: think that the challenge with any drug use, even recreational
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: drug use, is that if we don't know ourselves well enough,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: then it is very easy for a substance to step
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: in and help calm the disease that is inside of us,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: when what we really should be doing is finding more
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: effective ways to calm that disease. Take care of yourself,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: connect with yourself, be able to be with yourself. Then
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: you won't need the substances to make it okay to
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: just be here. We have more of our conversation with
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: author and star of Queen Sugar, Tina Lifford coming up next,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club wanting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club now if
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: you just join us. We were talking about Little Wayne's daughter,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Yestayne Antoya Rice daughter, and she went to this cucumber
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: pool party and she previously had been really not excited
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: about these women doing this cucumber challenge, so people were
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: getting at her for being at the party, but she said, Okay, guys,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: I want to say this. I went to the party
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: to spy on wife and Lucci females. Don't act like
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: you never did it. But when I heard about the
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: cucumber activities, I left. To be honest, I made myself
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: look like a fool for this man, and I apologize
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: for allowing you guys to see it. I'm young and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: still learning. Now, have you ever spot on your man before?
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: You have? I ever did a pop up if you
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: want to call it, Yeah, you know I've done a
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: pop up. I don't trying to think if I've ever
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: gone to a party, but I've definitely popped up at
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: his house. I did that a couple of times. One
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: time I actually climbed through the window that's a real
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: pop up. And that's because I knew something was going on.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: And sometimes even though we know things, we want to
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: see it with our own eyes. I don't know why,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: but I guess that was really the end of it
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: for me, to be able to see somebody doing something
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: with my own eyes. Yeah, I've done it once to twice,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne always. I grew up a very insecure young man too.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: And when you are the type of person like me
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: who was cheating on my woman and made me feel guilty,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: so that on top of my insecurity, I thought she
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: was doing dirt when she wasn't. So, yes, I popped
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: up at jobs. I've popped up at dorms ipped the class,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: went to apartments. I popped u the class, well, my
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: motorcycle right to a class. Well, well you think she
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: was doing in class? I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: You just want to see. Maybe she passed in a note,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe she holding her hands like as a guy. As
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: a guy when a guy is already doing hurt, like
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: you automatically think your woman is just like you know,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: sucking everywhere. You know what I'm saying, Like, even if
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: she's not like any you can go down anytime any place.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: So yes, definitely had guys pop up on me. Was
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: at parties and listen, I'll leave a party if somebody
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: trying to pop up on me, I slide out and
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: be like, this is ridiculous. Are you pop up? Like?
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: You know, like I say, like say, like, you know,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: my wife was in college. They used to be party
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: in at this place called five points five pence puts.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: All the college kids used to go on Thursday night.
• 1:11:28

• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: upon an ex or man or your man? You know what? No,

• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: know about it. You're get in trouble when you go
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: looking for trouble. But here's my story. So I found
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: out that my soon to be ex husband um put
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: his cell phone in my car. So one day on
• 1:13:27

• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: music out of the blue, and I'm like, what is that?
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: So I looked at my that feat and he shoved
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: his cell phone in between my back seat so he
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: could track me. So he didn't have his cell phone
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: on him, he just left it him. Yeah exactly. He
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: said he had a second form dang while he had
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: to charge that every day. That's why did he not
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: trust you? Was there a reason or he just h

• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: doing right by you. I get it, I get it,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: all right. We got more coming up next with a
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: special guest in the building, yep, author David Back. Thank
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: you for having me. He's one of the most trusted
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: financial experts in the world. Correct, okay, and a best
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: selling financial author, and you have a new book called
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: The Latte Factor. I'm just super grateful to have it.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Beyond the showman, thank you. We'll talk to us about
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: the Latte Factor. What are the comparisons between finances and Latti? Yeah, well,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: because here's the deal. The forty four to ten Americans
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: right now cannot get their hands on one hundred dollars
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: in case of emergency. Jesus take that four out of ten.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: That's better than herpes Herpey's only one in three. Jesus
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: take that in for a second. Wait, six out of
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: ten Americans can't get their hands on a thousand dollars
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: in case of emergency purposes. So seven out of ten
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Americans living paycheck to paycheck. And what I've been teaching
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: out for almost total twenty six years is that we
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: got to break this. The way you break it, the
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: way you stop living paycheck to paycheck, is you realize
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: the small amounts of money can change your life. So
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: I created this concept called the Latte Factor, which is
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: the idea that if sad wasting five bucks a day
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: on a lot day, you took that five dollars a day,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: you put it inside your retirement account. You paid yourself first,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: you could become a millionaire. So so here's what you
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: needent bag. But we got this, We got this little story,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: we got this metaphor in here, and got chart right,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: and a little simple chart shows you that, by the way,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: it takes a lifetime. Here, it takes you start in
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: your twenties five dollars a day. By the time forty
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: years later, at ten percent interests, it's worth nine hundred
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: and forty eight thousand dollars. Okay, now someone, yeah, so
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: that's starting in your twenties right now. There's a chart
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: on page one thirty four shows somebody saving more than
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: five dollars a day. Okay, three hundred bucks a month. Okay,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: you're twenty five, you saved three hundred bucks a month.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: By the time you reach retirement, you got one million,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: nine hundred and thirteen thousand dollars. Now here's the problem, guys.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Most people do not start saving at twenty five. They
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: start saving, they start they start thinking about it at
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: thirty five. Do not wait to start saving money. My
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: grandmother helped me buy my first stock at age seven. Wow.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: But you can only teach what you know. So a
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: lot of these parents. You can't teach finances because they
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: don't know finances. This though, you are absolutely right, and
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm here to say to any parent listening right now,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: this is my thirteenth book. This is the easiest book
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: I've ever written. And I'm out here watching the videos
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: of all the amazing, incredible artists who have come through here,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: and a lot of them were wearing six figures in
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: jewelry around their neck. When you start seeing somebody wearing
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: six figures in jewelry on their neck and they don't
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: have a six figure net worth, someone's wrong. I agree.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: The first thing you focus on if you're listening right
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: now and you don't have any savings is focus. I'm
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: getting a thousand dollars in savings. The take I caught
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: thee hundred day challenge, save ten dollars a day for
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred days. You're now wealthier than six out of
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: ten people in miracle. Now, what about what people that
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: would say? You know, that sounds great, but what else
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: can I do that's going to be more aggressive? I
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: gotta I'm gonna drop a truth on you right now.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Do you want to go and try and get rich overnight?
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: You will stay poor forever. You do not get rich
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: in days, you get rich in decades. Yeah, but see,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: a lottos are really just a tax on people that
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: are like praying and hoping, right Like, that's not a
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: real way to go and get rich. It's a tax
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: on your hope. It's a taxi optimism. I used to
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: say it's a tax on stupid people. But I want
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: everybody coming out with a gun on me. So so
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. A lot we have people putting more
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: money in the lottery tickets than retirement account. Right. So,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: if you've got a job today, here's what I want
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: you to do. You have to pay yourself first. You
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: have to get financially selfish. The formula to financial freedom
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: for life is saving one hour day of your income.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Whether you make minimum wager you make more the average
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: Americans making about twenty seven dollars an hour right now,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: one hour a day of your income paid automatically into
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: a retirement account. You can be financially free for life.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Can you elaborate on a statement you're richer than you think.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: You have to learn to think like an investor. There's
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: two things that make people in America wealthy. They are
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: real estate and stocks. If you don't own real estate
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: and you don't own stocks, you don't get into one
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: of these two games or both. You're not on the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: escalator to building wealth. These are the things that make
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: people wealthier. When you own real estate, the tax laws
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: favor the rich. You can buy it. This is what
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: people don't realize. You can buy a home, living it
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: for two years, sell it, and if you're single, you
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: can keep a quarter of a million dollars in tax
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: free gains. Okay, quote a million dollar tax free. Right.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: It's the only game in town where the government doesn't
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: tax you, no one of reasons, because the government wants
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: you to have homeowner wants you to own a home. Right. Now,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: here's the truth. When you look at why is it
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: that wealth goes from one generation to the next or doesn't.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: It's real estate. So homeowners are forty six times wealthier
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: than renters. So some of the smartest investments for people
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: with new money to make our real estate and stop. Yeah,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: and the simplest thing is to start with your four
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: one K plan or your IRA account and just start saving,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: start investing and get yourself you know, you start some
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: of the simples and dex fund. You got a chapter
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: in your book called don't budget and make it automatic?
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: Can you expand on that police. Yeah, so we're all
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: taught to budget. Nobody really does it in the real world.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: People hate it. So when I teach, is this the
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: way you build wealth for anything? Retirement, buying a car,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: going on a dream, vocation, saving money for kids who
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: are going to go to college. As you save automatically,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: money's got to get moved automatically from your paycheck from
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: your income into these different savings accounts, or you won't
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: do it. If you want to know the true formula
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: to being able to retire in your fifties, it is
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: to save. I can give you the exact number right now.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: It's fourteen percent of your gross income. Okay, but it's
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: fourteen percent of your gross syncome. How do I know
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: these numbers? Because Fidelity Investments run is the largest foreign
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: K planet and I think in the world. They have
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: sixteen million people in the US and their foreign K
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: plant represents twenty thousand companies. They track the amount of
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: people will become millionaires using their fourn K plan, and
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: they've saved fourteen percent of their income for thirty years
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: by the time they reached an average age of fifty nine,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: they're a four one k million. So the only way
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: you're going to have money in this country is if
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: you take care of yourself. No one's coming to save us. Now,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: you address one of the law shifts about money in
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: the law te fact, and it takes money to make money.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Why that's such a misconception because if you, first of all,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: if you believe you've got to have a lot of
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: money to start investing, you'll never started defeated already. You're
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: defeated already. It is a poor mental mindset. And so
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: I'll go back to my grandmother. My grandmother was broke
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: at thirty and didn't have a college education, live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: and had a job in retail, a place called Gimbal's
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: Department store. She said, I was always getting my financial
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: advice from my friends, and they were all poor. She said,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: don't get your financial advice from poor people. There you go.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: So she went out and started taking classes at adult
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: schools on investing. She found somebody who was a millionaire.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: Didn't know the person well, but knew the person enough
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: to say, I know you're well off. Funny actually, and
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn how to become wealthier? Would you
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: teach me? She actually asked for a mentor, and she
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: learned over her lifetime what to do and you know,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: and then pass the lessons on to our family. A
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: lot of times, what happens once you have money is
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: you don't actually care then if you look rich, because
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: you don't care what any else thinks. The weirdest thing
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: is that when we're not rich, we care what people think.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: Once we are rich, we don't give it. You say,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: big hat, no cat, big big hat, no cattle. Big
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: it's a Texas phrase because that's right, get the big hat.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: But you got no cattle. You say, no big polk,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: no scroke. So if you got a big camp, all right,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: the state you for joining us, pick up his book
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: The lat say fact that now, and thank you so much,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: sir guys, thank you for having me on your as.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you. I don't know how we got the penises.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Got to
• 1:24:01

• 1:24:19

• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: us up for suffering,
