Speaker 1 (00:02):
I had a friend that called me today right before
I was heading in the studio, and it was a
good call. It was one of those checking calls that
was really quick, and while we began to share about
the various things that have been going on with each
and every one of us, he said, hey, Dan, how
you doing? And I said, I'm good. You know, I'm
(00:24):
very grateful. I said, if you were to look at
my life three hundred and sixty five days ago, oh
my gosh, it was a different story. But we know
a lot can happen within a year. As we progressed
on and continued the conversation, I said, you know, it's
something interesting where how indeed you could have everything that
(00:51):
you pray for, but yet perhaps feel a little lost
or apprehensive or I don't know, but I guess I'm
thinking to myself as far as you know, being able
to get around, having transportation, got it, getting back into
working out, I'm doing it. I'm studying improv at the
(01:13):
groundlings loving it. And I got my baby vitamin D
back in studio. E. And I think oftentimes when you
forget to keep your eye on your lane, whether that
be because you're checking it back at the review mirror
about what happened before, what could have been better, or
(01:33):
causing so much anxiety about how come it's not painting out,
or how come it doesn't look how you thought it
was going to look. Or perhaps you just look into
the left and right and you see what the next
person is doing. You realize that you bribe yourself. And
here's the fact of the matter. They say life is
the greatest teacher because first you take the test and
then you learn the lesson well in order to get
through things. That means you have to go through things.
(01:56):
And I guess you know you never know how things
are going to pan out, or especially if you have
your idea how to pan out, but you gotta be
grateful and you realize that you got to pick yourself
up and try again. I was thinking about Aliyah on
that track, her track try Again, and she just said
(02:17):
pick yourself, try again, and try again. So I say
that's to you as I say it to myself, or
I say it to myself as I say it to you.
Pick yourself up and try again. You can't fail if
you don't quit. And I guarantee if you were to
look at your life three hundred and sixty five days ago.
(02:38):
You have a heck of a story, right, So don't
count yourself out just yet. You gotta stay encourage because
greater is coming, and that greater is now. It's that
damn dawn like the break of day, and it's time

How you doing, How you feeling? Well? I'm doing good.
I'm grateful, smile and no matter what, because I woke
(04:05):
up today and I find myself more oftentimes than not
saying when somebody says, oh, it's good to see you,
I said it was good to be seen rather than
being viewed. No beddyet They say how are you? And
I say, it's always better to be seen than being viewed. Right, Well,
we got some things to talk about. I have some news,
(04:28):
some stories, and then I'm opening up the phone lines.
I'm opening up the phone lines to you because it's
a talk to and time tum and time to and Tuesday,
and I want you to call me because we got
a lot going on. I mean, in one week we're
voting for the next president of the United States. There's
a lot that needs to be discussed. Okay, I want
(04:50):
to hear your views, your thoughts, your opinions. My cousin
Fiala is on. Hey, cousin Fie. I want to hear
your thoughts, your views, and your opinions because this is
what it matters, and it would mean a lot. You know,
I put in work to come to the studio to
talk to y'all, so make sure you call me. So
take note of this number eight one a four six
one fifty four to thirty two. That's eight one eight
(05:14):
four six one fifty four thirty two. Okay, coming up,
I have the advice letter. I haven't even read it yet,
but it's something about somebody kay talk to their child's
father up in Georgia. We'll discover it together. Plus, you
know the Dodgers are playing the Yankees. Will they sweep tonight?
(05:37):
Do we have any Dodgers fans out here? I mean,
let me know. Now, let me just tell you this
right now. This will be the eighth World Series for
the Dodgers, and tonight it could be a sweep. Now.
I don't know if you've been following me on my
social medias and stuff, but you know I'll be out
there playing softball right listen. I think it's still up
(05:59):
in the story Dawn Dai speaks head over there and
you see me swinging that bet. I'm number eleven all
day during day, all day. Hey, so it's been fun
my position. Oh you're wondering, Oh, thank you so much
for asking we played third base. Uh huh, I'll be
infiled in. I'll be throwing because I got that arm.
(06:22):
So hopefully I'll be able to show you some more content. Also,
let me get to some news really quick. I want
to jump into the letter and then I need you
all to call me so that we can have a conversation.
Now if you are in Los Angeles or California, rather
updated news. Did you know they have autonomous shuttles that
are beginning to go into operation. I'm talking about shuttles
(06:42):
that have no person in there, Shuttles that will be
free of charge. Okay, Now, there are three all electric
driverless shuttles that will begin operating in Riverside this come
January twenty twenty five. This come. You know what I'm saying. Now,
this is what city officials announced today. Now, the zero
emission autonomous shuttles will be operated and maintained by the
(07:04):
Riverside Transit Agency as part of a two year trial
run to complement its existing bus service. Now, when the
vehicles hit the streets Areta Riverside Transit Agency will become
the first public transportation agency in the US to operate
fully electric autonomous shuttles. The shuttle seat hello. The shuttles
(07:30):
seat eight and are capable of reaching speeds of thirty
one miles per hour, but will probably operate closer to
fifteen miles per hour, and that's depending on traffic and
the chosen route. Now the city is considering deploying them
at UC Riverside, downtown and the near the local airport,
among other options. Now officials said that the shuttle night
(07:52):
quotes will move people around the city at no cost
to the public, emitting no emissions and improving air quality
by taking cars off the road. It's a plan that's
been in the works for more than a year, as
Riverside agreed to purchase the vehicles last December or last
November and work with the manufactory and bring its headquarters
(08:12):
to the Inland Empire. Now I'm curious to know what
thoughts are. On one note, I'm like, oh, this is great,
this is a good thing. But is this necessarily good
for our economy? Because remember there was somebody that once
drove the car. Remember there was somebody that wants cleaned.
The buses, change the tires like it's a rippled down effect.
But overall, we know we are in this whole moment
(08:34):
where there is a climate change going on. So I'm
curious when I open the phone lines, please comment on
any of the stories that I do have. All Right,
so that's just something to think about. Okay, I need
to shout out. Miss Winds is in the house. I
got Miss may in in the house. I was talking
about playing softball. Miss wind said, you hit a home run. Note,
(08:55):
but I got an RBI. I hit on a base
and I hit a good too. I know you saw it. Okay,
news about homelessness or are unhoused individuals, Well, this is
great news, I suppose. Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen
Bass announced that more than eight hundred million dollars will
(09:16):
be added into the pile the bucket, the funding to
help those who are unhoused. Yes, Today, Tuesday, October twenty ninth,
their Mayor Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom jointly announced additional
funding to combat homelessness. The eight hundred and twenty seven
million dollars in estate funding will better connect people experiencing
(09:40):
homelessness to shelters and services. Now. That money will go
to thirty seven regional grantees that represent one hundred local
communities and organizations across the state. Newsom's office said in
the release, and I quote, the funding comes with the
strong accountability measures and reporting requirements to ensure funding is
used effect and outcomes can be tracked and measured. Now,
(10:03):
Bass's office offered details as to how much each local
area will receive. What we got Los Angeles receiving three
hundred and eighty million, Riverside to receive twenty one million,
and San Bernardino eleven million. All these are all estimate
their continuous numbers, but around about now. In this morning's
press conference, Newsome pointed out that this kind of state
(10:26):
and local partnership to combat homelessness wasn't available when he
served as mayor of San Francisco, and he says the
state has stepped up in ways the state has never
stepped up in the past. Now. Bass said the additional
funding is indicative of the work officials have been doing
over the past few years to combat the homelessness crisis,
and she quotes, we're bringing every level of government together.
(10:50):
What do you think about it? Like, I understand that
we are funding organizations, we are creating these shelters, but
what is to be said about those who are dealing
with mental health issues. Does this solve the problem, because
we can have various shelters and organizations, but if somebody
is combating a mental illness, where's the logic to be
understood as to why they should report to that facility,
(11:12):
how they should check in every day? And I have
been getting wind speaking with various executive directors of organizations
how there are some organizations out there and even some
community members have stated that all of these individuals who
are getting grants to combat homelessness, they're not doing the jime. Heck,
when I was on the FM down, I believe somebody
(11:34):
had gave word up in Long Beach how a motel
was geared to those who were on housed or experiencing
homelessness and they weren't doing anything about it. What happens
when you're going to these organizations and you're getting the
services and they're just putting signatures down. I'm just saying,
these are just things to think about. Okay, So welcome
(11:54):
to call you in the studio. I'm about to jump
into this Vitamin D advice letter. The number is eight
one eight for six one fifty four thirty two eight
one eight four, six, one fifty four thirty two. We
will open the lines up in a few minutes. But
I'm giving you the numbers so you can come. Cause
it's to and tons of it's tons of its day.
All right, y'all ready for this letter. I don't even
(12:16):
know this is hot off the price. I haven't even
gotten any type of markings on it to lay eyes
on it. So listen, we are coming in how together.
What you hear is what you get now. As I preface,
if you need advice on your relationship, on your career,
any life major change point, and you said, don don
(12:36):
like the break of day, I need a word, Well,
I'm here to shed some light. Now. This is what
I want to be clear about when we talk about
shedding light with vitamin D. It's on the good and
the bad. Why because if you want to be better
and you want to do better, then you're going to
have to see better. That's going to require you to
get uncomfortable. That's going to require me to get up
in that but a little bit. It's going to require
(12:58):
change period. Okay, but eat the meat, spit out the bone.
So let's jump into this letter. Now. I guess the
subject of the theme is red hot jealousy and angry
old wounds keep spilling back into my marriage.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay, calling all the individuals, come up to the front row.
Come up to the front row if you have experience
within a long standard relationship, because I'm sure you can
pull in some advice, you can shed some light. All right,
here we go. Dear Dawn. I always look forward to
the Vitamin D show. Thank you so much, but right
(13:35):
now I sure do need some of your insight. Dawn.
I cheated on my husband over eleven years ago. It
was stupid and I regretted it every day. It almost
destroyed my marriage to a wonderful man who really loves me.
Because I got pregnant from that affair. Dawn and I
(13:57):
decided to keep the baby. My husband and I separated
over it for six months and we got back to
talking to each other and we worked things out and
he forgave me, and we've been raising Kevin, our son
ever since. The three of us were all very happy
until six months ago. My fair partner came back at
(14:18):
Kevin's tenth birthday party, no less, and said that he
wanted to be in Kevin's life. Oh lord, brother proverb.
I'm reading a vitamin de avice letter. You want to
hold on the line while I read it? Hello? Hello,
hold on, Okay, I'm reading a vitamin device letter. He
(14:42):
can't understand. Okay, let me continue, y'all. That's my brother proverb.
He don't mind, he'll call me back. All right now, Okay, listen,
y'all heard what was going on. She cheated on her husband,
she got pregnant. The husband forgave her after five months
or six months or five months, heck, he forgave her.
They start to back talking. Now her the son, the
love child or the child is ten. The original daddy
(15:06):
wants to come back. Okay, here we go. My affair
partner came back at Kevin's tenth birthday party, no less,
and said that he wanted to be in Kevin's life.
My husband almost beat his head into the ground. It
took both brothers and my uncle to pull my husband's
hands off him all dawn. It was awful. My husband
doesn't want me to have any contact with Kevin's biological
(15:28):
father at all. No phone calls, no texts, no messages
or nothing. No forget. He forgives me for the affair,
but he doesn't forgive the man brother proverb hold on Okay, okay,
he forgives me for the affair, but he doesn't forgive
the man that I cheated on him with. He flies
(15:50):
into a jealous rage as soon as he's brought up.
It took a lot of doing, but I'm convinced my
husband that I don't love Kevin's biological father y'all coming
in high Kevin's biological father, and that I'm not going
to leave my husband or have any more affairs, but
Kevin needs to know his biological father. I also promise
(16:13):
my husband not to have any direct contact with my
former affair partner for any reason. But this has opened
old wounds in my marriage to a really good man.
It hurts my heart to see him so angry, and
now our son is also upset about how it's affected
us as a family. Dawn, How do I fix this
and also at least for the next eight years until
(16:33):
Kevin turns eighteen? How do I cope in with someone
I'm not allowed to talk to. How do I arrange
pickups and drop offs, vacations and medical issues. I'm so
stressed on I don't know what to do. Sign my
ass should have known better. Atlanta, Georgia. Oh my gosh,
did y'all hear this letter? What would y'all do? First
(16:54):
of all, the first thing or the first word that
comes to my mind is mature. Each party has to
be mature in this situation. Like, I understand, feelings are hurt,
but now we're talking about another child. And yes, it
is important to have a I mean, I think it's
important to have a father figure.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think it's important if a biological father wants to
be there. Yes, and I think a man that steps
up to as a father figure is important as well.
But what is that to be said? Regardless of the fact,
if you have a father figure in your life, how
do you explain to a child that my dad is
out there? How do you explain to a child that
my dad is out there but doesn't want to talk
(17:35):
to me, doesn't want to get to know me. These
are psychological effects that can affect people down the line
and down the line. When do you get to the
point that you're gonna have to step up and say,
wait a minute, my feelings are hurt. But once I
decided and accepted my wife and forgiven her, that comes
with everything that's a part of her, because now it's
like you got to get your ego off the way
(17:56):
because you got a child to factory. No, no, would
you consider this is a selfish situation or do you
think it's just due? Is it wrong on the mother's
end to withhold her child or not be in contact
with the father, Because at the end of the day,
you got sweet sixteen, you got homecomings, and like you said,
(18:17):
you got graduations. This is not a just a one
bam thank you, ma'am. When you are having a child
with someone, you have to deal with them with eighteen
years of your life. And I'm just wondering, if there's
anybody out there and you've heard the letter, perhaps you've
been in a situation in which you have a child
and the other partner may not approve of the other parent.
(18:38):
In that dynamic, do you keep the child away from
the parent? I think we're gonna have to put our
big panties on. I think there needs to be a
round table discussion, Miss Atlanta, because at the end of
the day, this is your child, and this is your baby,
and we know that these types of things can psychologically
affect a child. And yeah, I get it a lot
(18:59):
of us. I'm just going to oom, you're black, not
because of what happened, but maybe because you and Georgia
and you're listening to Vitamin D. But listen, we open
to everybody. But my whole point in saying is is
that it's already enough in our community that we don't
do enough talking, talking with one another, also even going
to a therapist, a therapy. So that's my suggestion. Now
(19:19):
I got I got my brother. Proverb on the line,
proverb are you there?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, I'm here. How you doing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I'm good, I'm good. Thank you so much for calling
me on talk to me Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, I got the message, so I had to go
ahead and call.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
So did you get a chance Are you viewing us
online too? Or you just called in?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I just called in. I didn't get a chance for
you yet.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh yeah, I was one. I meant to tell y'all
to view because I was up there giving advice on
the Vitamin D advice letter. I'm just curious, what would
you do? A woman just wrote in and she said, Dawn,
I had an affair. I cheated on my husband. It
was eleven years ago. She regrets it. Her husband started
talking to her. I mean, I'm telling you they had
(20:06):
moved out, you know, for six or so months. Okay,
now years have gone by. Let's just say fast forward
ten years. She promised her husband that she would no
longer talk to the father of her child because she
decided to keep the child from the affair. And here
comes the sons. The Kevin is his name, tenth birthday,
(20:27):
and the biological father wants to be a part of
his life. What would you recommend that she do?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, that's a lot, that's a lot. My suggestion is
because he didn't get a chance to know this man
and the only person so he does know the other father, correct.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
She knows the son, Kevin, knows the husband, which is
his stepfather. But now this Kevin, the son's biological father,
wants to be in his life. She promised her husband
that she would have no contact with him. But what
is she supposed to do about her son's father? Okay,
(21:22):
do you choose your husband or your child?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Because of the fact that she one she uh, she
hadn't had contact with them before, correct, the political father.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Up until six months ago, so it's been about ten years.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So the thing is, though, when you when you're building
a relationship, are actually, let's say, when you build it,
when you're trying to build that family. Yeah, she made
the mistake, or I only want to say it was
a mistake, it was a mishap. It was it was misfortunate,
but a child was a child was born, so I
(22:01):
can't call it anything but a blessing. So she had
this blessing of a child. So once the father was
able to get once no, not even once the husband
was able to able to forgive his wife for what happened,
(22:22):
they built that family. Yeah. I understand that situation, how
he wants to be part of his life. But here's
the thing you have to look at. Okay, will it
do damage to him right now? Will will it be
(22:44):
a problem in the infrastructure of their family? Now? I
believe I had a similar Well, I had a situation
that was like that too. I was raised by my
stepfather and my mom never told me about my father.
But the problem was, when I turned twenty one, he
(23:06):
sought out after me. Yes, I wanted to meet him. Yes,
I wanted to know about him because you know, I
had siblings, but I was an adult, so I felt like,
you know, I wouldn't be hurting my stepfather, which raised me,
my pots.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Or my mom.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
But in this situation where she kind of did she
promised that she wouldn't keep in contact with him, or
did he find her and then they started the communication,
that's another question.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well, she says, my husband doesn't want me to have
any contact with Kevin's biological father at all, no phone calls,
no texts, no messages or nothing. He forgives me for
the affair, but he doesn't forgive the man that I
cheated on him with. Well, who was to say that
he knew that she was married.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
That's true, that's true. It's a little bit more, don
I think it's a little bit more to that letter though,
because I can understand he wanted to keep his household old.
But it sounds like it's a little bit more to
that letter. So I you know, families have their secrets,
(24:26):
but I would suggest maybe sitting down, actually sitting down
with the child.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
He's ten, right, Yeah, this is his tenth birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It's his tenth birthday. Only that he knows this is
her husband. I mean, that's kind of it's it. It's
kind of rough for a kid to make a decision
on if he wanted to really sit and see this man,
so he has to. It has to be something that
has to be decided by both parents. But she kind
(25:01):
of already messed up though, dying because he made her promise,
and she still is in contact with this man, So
I mean the trust factor, everything's about the trust.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
So well, she hasn't been in contact. Remind you the
fact that he just pulled up.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
He just pulled up, Okay, So yeah, all right, Well
that then I would suggest a conversation needs to be had.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
And that's why I said communication is kid my cousin Fiala.
She says, I would communicate with a family member, and
I mean, technically you did not communicate directly with the
biological father. But is that wrong now, Miss Mayan, she's
commented on Facebook, said I would allow the biological father
to see his son. At least he is trying. You
have some fathers that don't want their child at all,
(25:47):
so allow him to be in his life. Well, if
she allows him to be in his life, was she
gonna lose her marriage? But which one is more important?
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's a that's a that's the night in a maybe,
I mean because The thing is he uh he felt
the tray before, and it sounds like it's a lot
of uh distrust he has. He has a problem with
the trust factor.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So rightfully, so, I mean, she did have an affair
and she did get pregnant, but you know she stowed off.
Well okay, well thank you. Mss Wanda said, how could
he just pull up unless she told him she was
pregnant and where they were? That's true. Now, Miss Maya said,
(26:34):
the child is more important.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I did think so too. Yeah, I think I think
the child is more important. But the thing is, uh,
you still want that family structure you're trying to you're
trying to develop the shameman into something more. So do
you go ahead and bring him in because the thing is,
you don't know the stance on the father. The father
(27:03):
he may want to be a part of his life
or how are we to know that he doesn't want
to get back into her life because you have guys
that will do that. Well, look, I'm going to keep
it positive. I think he does want to probably be
in this young man's life, but he has to go
about it the right way.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
And what's the right way speaking to the husband? Uh?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Nah, he I think basically they all have to get together,
all three of them, because that's over ten years ago.
I mean, things happen and people grow up. I mean,
like you said, everybody got to pull their pants up
in and be adults about it. It takes a village
to raise a child, especially young men. So he has
(27:49):
the benefit of having both fathers, you know, the one
that's raising him right now and is biological father.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
And I ain't called you. I mean it sounded like
the biological father might be a little concern because when
he pulled up to birthday party, they beat his ass.
I'm talking her brothers and her uncle had to pull
her husband off of her child's five.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh yeah, it's more. It's more to this.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Okay, Well we dived in. Y'all have comments since you
called in another thing that I wanted to talk about,
and I think it's so great. Since you are a man.
What's going on? How do you feel about the election?
What's going on? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
It was interesting because I went to the men's empowerment
and that was the big issue right there. You know,
everybody was talking about Kamala, you know, Stevie was talking
about Kamala. Comments were made. I had friends that made comments.
But what people tend to forget is when Kamala was
(28:57):
the DA, she had a job to do, and a
lot of people in the Bay Area really have a
dislike for the way she handled her business. But then
and again, she's the DA, She's supposed to that that
was her job, and it moved her to the next position,
(29:20):
which moved her to the next position, which moved her
to the position that she's in right now. A lot
of stuff, a lot of negative is always going to
be put out there to discourage, So I just encourage
people to always go go two or three steps further
to find out their truth and read read other stuff
(29:41):
besides what they put out to the forefront.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
For this lady.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
A lot of things have been said, a lot of
things have been mentioned, you know, smart campaigns. But the
way I feel about where we are Project twenty twenty
five is real. It's actually happening right now. Don It's
not people saying, oh, it's going to happen in January. No,
(30:08):
it's happening right now. They are really trying to get
rid of our rights to move freely in this country.
And it's a shame. It's scary. So you know, everything
everything compensation wise, workmen's comp insurances that you get from
your from your job, to help you heal, to help
(30:31):
you do they're trying to get rid of all of that.
So and then we aren't going to talk about education
because education they really are trying to put a foothold
in it. But I just I just encourage people to
go out and vote. And you already see. I know
a lot of people see the rally, and the rally
(30:52):
if that rally doesn't tell you anything, it should tell
you some truths. And the way I feel is you
gotta stand up. There's no there's no excuse. People can
say what they want to say, but there's no excuse
you if you're able to vote, vote, you know, because
(31:13):
everybody can. Everybody can have a common denominator or have
a person that they want in their life to direct
and to do. But we gotta be more hands on
because our people are one of the We we will
spend money all day, but when it comes to politics,
when it comes to making that decision, we tend to
(31:34):
shun away from it or we tend to like I'm
gonna just sit this one out no, we can't sit
this one out. You sit this one out, you're gonna
be You're not gonna be sitting. You're gonna be working,
and you're not gonna get paid, and you're gonna get
stuck doing some stuff that you don't want to be doing.
And then we got to talk about our kids because
they gonna they're gonna put them in their line too.
(31:57):
So it's it's it's a scary situation, but it's a
real one and everybody's gonna have to wake up. Gotta
wake up with what it is.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Everybody in no more sleeping in bed. Okay, thank you Proverb,
because somebody else calls in. Can you watch UK Life
and then call me back?
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I will you later, all right, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Well, don't play with me, play with your cell phone?
Can we pay you back? Off of what Proverb was saying. Now,
I don't want to misconstrue the facts, Miss Wanda. You
can call me back right now if you want. I
don't want to misconstrue the facts. But from what I heard,
and I should have had the audio, and I should
be no one at the top of my brain, but yes,
(32:44):
Kamala was Vice president Harris soon to be president. Harris
was a prosecutor, but I think her record showed that
amongst the people that had been locking people up for
illegal possession, she had the least arrest or convictions. But yes,
she was supposed to do her job. Are we saying
(33:05):
just because she's black? You know, that's not where it's at.
I don't know. I just want to employ you all
to call me. Now, miss Wanda calls in. Let me
see if I can see her number. Look, she's right here. Hey,
miss Wanda, Hello, Hello, how are you? I'm good? Talk
(33:28):
to me, talk to him. It talked to me tuesday.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Well, it's good to see you and to hear you,
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Glad that you back.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
You back Live Live and just listening to the brother
Brother proverb and his comments and also listen to you.
In regards to the election, I think it's unfortunate that
there's a lot of information out there, and most of
(34:02):
the information that is out there about Vice President Harris's
record when she was a prosecutor is really not very
accurate in regards to what she actually did. What she
was one of the first ones to start finding ways
(34:23):
to actually to actually help the persons that were convicted
of various crimes to get back on the right track,
and so as a prosecutor, I mean, she did have
to do certain things in that capacity, but she also
found ways to be able to get the brothers and
(34:44):
sisters back on the right track. And that's the information
that's not being put out there. And obviously we also
have to look at where is most of the information
of that nature coming from, you know, I mean, it's
not an accident that that's all that we are basically
hearing these sound bites, which is why a lot of
unfortunately a lot of people that look like us, are
(35:07):
making the I think the wrong choice based on the
wrong information of what they're they may do for the elections.
So I think it's really important that we really get
all the facts and then we also wait up the alternatives.
I mean, you know, some people are saying, Okay, well,
I'm not going to vote for anybody. The alternative is
(35:28):
you're going to get somebody, and that somebody is probably
not going to be who you want. And so we
have to be thinking, you know, is that the best move?
We always wait until it's the time for an election
before we want to have all these different thoughts and
information that we bring out as opposed to helping to
(35:50):
maybe support or help candidate come about.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Before we get to the election.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
That's going to maybe the support of of what we
want to uh to see. But once we get to
that point where we know that there's going to be
these candidates, it's kind of late to now me saying
all the things that you know, most people are talking
about that really is way before this. So we're at
the point where people have to make a decision, and
(36:18):
really we really need to be putting out that information
that Brother Provert talked about with the project uh twenty five.
You know, I'm I'm saying it wrong. Whatever the project,
you know, a name that they came up with, their
their their basically plan. I'm forgetting it now, but you know,
you know what I'm talking about. The bottom line is
(36:39):
this is definitely something that we need to be thinking about.
And I think that information was talked about in the beginning,
but it's not being talked about as much. And I
think a lot of the people who are deciding that
they want to vote for a certain person versus the
other really need to go back and remember that this
(36:59):
is definite in play. And that they may really, really
really be sorry if they do.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's right, And it's so interesting that we come to
a point like our whole idea that I think with
freedom is your power of choice to be able to choose.
And here we are at the moment of an election
that it can change the state of today, tomorrow and beyond,
and we're choosing not to use our power. It's very alarming.
And you know, just to piggyback off of what you're saying,
(37:25):
why do we wait right before the election. And it's furthermore,
all of the positions in the local offices that have
a lot to do with how we live our everyday
life and not just the presidential election, but it's like,
what do we need to do because a lot of
the funding that we need, a lot of the resources
that we're talking about, a lot of the opportunities when
we're calling schooling that doesn't come every four years, and
(37:46):
it doesn't just come around election season. This is how
we live every day of our lives. How are we
just a loof do you think as a people we
just don't care or perhaps as a community we aren't
doing enough to put forth the importance of these elections.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Well, I think that it's it's probably a combination of of.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Of of all of it.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
You know, we don't care as much because we haven't
there's a lot of Again it's information to make it
important to us. And again, like you said, it's not
just about the presidential election. It's really, to be honest,
more about the local and state elections because those are
the ones that are going to make the biggest, biggest differences.
And especially when we come down to the judicial system,
(38:35):
where those judges that you know, they were talking on
another situation that was listening to where they were saying
that there's a judge that ran unopposed, that judge is
going to automatically get in most most likely, and we
have no clue if that judge is going to be
a good uh uh judge or a bad judge. But
(38:57):
he doesn't make a difference right now because there's no
that's opposing that judge. And so these are things that
really make the bigger difference when it comes down to
the everyday situation. So we have to be thinking about
not just the obviously the presidential but the one the
elections that really help build up to that presidential and
then why aren't we also thinking about how we can
(39:18):
get more involved in the election progatorial process and know
more about it, as well as helping to support candidates
that are going to do what we want people to do.
You know, it's it's it's it's a process, and it's
not something that happens overnight and we can complain. But
if we don't take action, then we need to at
(39:40):
least support what is happening to the best that we
can and not just get mad and say, oh, I'm
not going to do anything just because the person that
I want or what I think has got to happen
is not what I want to happen. So you know,
I'm not going to do anything because it doesn't make
a difference if you don't do any I mean, it
does make a difference where you don't do it. It's
(40:01):
not a situation where you don't do anything and it's
going to be all good. You don't do anything, it's
going to be probably all bad, uh, you know for
those of us who don't pay attention. And the other
thing is we can't wait for candidates to save ourselves.
You know, it's not about necessarily these candidates, although it's
obviously going to make a big difference. But if we
(40:22):
are getting ourselves together and putting plans together for our
future and knowing, you know how we're going to work
together and have something in place that is not necessarily
dependent upon somebody giving us a handout or what they
do for us, and we don't have to necessarily worry
about who's going to be the president or or you know,
(40:45):
other official because we have a plan and we have
some things that we are hopefully able to do for ourselves.
And that goes from everything from even food. I mean
we can grow our own food. We can you know, uh,
we can put things together in terms of our finances
and just all types of things that we really are
not doing to the degree that we need to, so
(41:08):
that we can make a difference and not wait for
other people. I mean back in the day, this is
what we did because we didn't have anybody coming.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
To save us.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Come on, now, save our way for somebody.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
To come save us. And that's not what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Thank you for the Miswanda, I greatly appreciate that we
cannot we have to be able to step in and
you know, it's just like no other thing that we
have a car and we need the car repair, we
get repairs on our house. You got somebody that you
are paying to do work for you, and you just
gonna sit back and not care what they do, how
they do, and who they do it for. That don't
(41:42):
make no sense to it. These are our dollars that
are paying these individuals because we are paying taxes. And
just the same as if someone were doing your hair,
your nails, fixing your car, driving you somewhere, you are
giving them monies expecting them to do a job. So
why wouldn't we hold them accountable? Why wouldn't we go
through an interview process and be selective and know them?
(42:06):
Thank you so much, Miss Wanda. All Right, well I.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Have a good one and I'm going to continue listening,
and I'm glad that you're back live.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yes, and you might need to call back that damn
doing like the freaking day. Thank you. It's Wanda. What
you think that was? Miss Wanda? Ms Wanta honor right,
were talking about the Wighole idea. We know the election
is one week away. You got several individuals who have
came forth and said, you know what, Kamala's she she
(42:40):
arrested so many of us black brothers, Why should we
vote for them? You know what, I'm not voting for
anybody essentially losing our position or our power to vote. Now,
there are some people that say, you know, there was
a time that we really held on to our power, right,
there was a time when we stepped forward. That's way
before there was desegregation. And just like Miss Wanda said,
we had point that we had to rely on ourselves.
(43:02):
But just because we get support, when do we forget
our own power? And noticing that it is us with
our feet on the ground in our communities, knowing what's
going on, want to say, we're gonna step up, to
look up, to move up. Well, first off, we're gonna
have to get up and essentially pull up. Let me
know what you think, Come and bust up in the comments.
I'm gonna put the number in the chat. I want
(43:22):
to open this up. This is talk to me Tuesday.
I'm staying on as long as I have interaction because
I want to hear from you. Otherwise we could just
play the podcast back. But we're talking about the election,
talked about the Dodgers game that's going on tonight. I
told you about the electric the autonomous vehicles happening in riversides.
(43:44):
Let me know your thoughts on any of our comments,
our conversations, anything that's been sparking your mind. Have you
already went to vote? Let me know in the comments
or call me. Let me know if you've casted your
vote already. Now, one thing, I don't know if anybody
has been privy to have you been hearing what's happening
around the country. I don't know if this is a
norm thing and social media is highlighting it more. But
(44:06):
is it just me or does it seem like you're
hearing a lot about these ballots? I was just I
was when I came in the studio. I forget what
Ariel was in where the mail truck driver whoever was
transporting the ballots did not lock the door, so bens
of ballots were caught on the street. Luckily it was
still locked up, and thankfully somebody that was driving down
(44:29):
the road decided to go take it off to the
I don't know if they took the post off. I
think they took it to the police station. But then
you hearing just like I think it was in Arizona
where they set the mailbox, thing on fire. Y'all better
ring the alarm, You better wake up, you better ask
somebody listen. Don't play with me, play with yourself. But
(44:50):
in this case we need not to because there's a
lot of change going on. The election is seven days away.
I would love to hear from you. Can you call
tell me eight one eight four six one fifty four
to thirty two eight one eight four six one fifty
four to thirty two. Whatever you got on your mind,
whether it be about the elections, some news stories, perhaps
(45:11):
it's something that you want to be grateful for, you
want to share that you're grateful for. If you're already
called in miss wander proverb, feel free to call back again.
But either way, it's talked to me Tuesday, So come me.
I want to hear from you. I mean I could
go down to Rolodex and just start calling people and
to seeing what's up. Now Miss Latasha yeap over there
(45:32):
on Long Beach with Sunshine Recreation Center. I told you
a lot of the opportunities and activities that they have offered.
Right well, she messaged me and told me that I
think she was handling some polling or something with the
voting and she could not She couldn't tune in. She says, Oh,
I'm working late today because I'm a poll worker for
(45:53):
county elections. We started Friday evening check in with our
voting site, and we'll be running through Saturday morning to
Tuesday night. I would try the log in, but maybe later. Okay, Hey,
oh my gosh, you just call y'all give a shout
out to Miss Mac Marie McCarthy. Hi, Miss Mac, I'm
grateful for you. If it wasn't for Miss Mac, I
(46:15):
wouldn't be sitting here right in front of you, Miss Mac.
Mss McCree, Who am I thinking of? Miss Page Over
at scoop underneath the Public Benefit Corporation taught high school
students how to hold a camera and to do video.
And it was in that program that I learned that
I had a voice and that people wanted to hear it.
(46:37):
Then I started voicing the PSAs well. Here look at me,
Dawn Day here today, Miss Mac. You can call me
in the studio if you want. I mean, we talked
about it eight one, eight four, six thirty two. Uh,
Chuck is in the house. Chuck says, Dawn. I was
part of the black Someone on beet that is Airrington Night. Well, congratulations, Chuck.
(46:59):
You are more than welcome to call me and tell
me about it. I would love to hear about it.
Just some news from Misswanda. I just heard there was
a crowd of Trump supporters on the overpass on the
four h five shouting to vote for Trump. We need
to be showing the same support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
(47:19):
Now you got a whole different name up there, but
I'm assuming you meant Kamala Harris, and you're right about that.
We gotta be loud about it. That's what we need
to do. We need to be allowed because in less
than seven days it's going down, or perhaps it could
be going up. But that's only if we show up.
And I'm not going to hold you just like I
was previously sharing about the fact of what they've been
(47:41):
saying with these mailboxes and the ballots. Maybe it's not
a new thing, but it almost makes you a little
bit apprehensive to say, hey, do I want to cast
my vote in early because could it be headed out
in no man's land? Or do you feel more comfortable
by actually logging in the ballot in the first place.
So that's your opportunity to call me eight one eggs
(48:03):
four six one fifty four thirty two eight one age
four fifty four to thirty two. Also, let me just
share this. I'm putting a link in the chat. This
is only for those who are actually watching live. If
you are not able to call right now, and you
are in a space that maybe you can only click
from your phone, you can join by video or just
(48:23):
by audio by clicking this link that I just shared
in the chat. Clicking in there. Also, I guess I
also could give you some resources and information. Let me
see if I have anything up before I head out
of here, because like I said, we will cut in
short if there's nothing to be said. Hey, let me
(48:46):
just share with this. This is Sanctuary of Hope. Shout
out to miss Janet. They are doing a rapid rehousing
and prevention. Is this what Sanctuary or Hope? Yes, it
is rapid rehous and prevention services for trafficking survivors. Wow.
I don't know if you guys have checked on the
past episodes, but I actually had a trafficking survivor right
(49:08):
from the forties right here in la Keanu Monroe. She
wanted to detail about what happened to her. And trafficking
isn't just about oh, I'm taking you away from your family.
You can have somebody traffic that comes in and out
your house meeting the victim. Is this Charles, okay, this
is Charles Hey, Charles hold one second, okay, okay. So
(49:34):
if you are a trafficking survivor, or if you know
someone let me not. You know right now that if
you are experiencing any type of homelessness crisis, that there's
help and availability to you. You must be between the
ages of eighteen and twenty five, homeless or an immediate
risk of becoming homeless, definitely a trafficking survivor, and income
must be at or below the fifty percent AMI average
(49:57):
medium income. I just make that up, but I think
that sounds right. Contact three two three seven eight six
twenty four thirteen. That's three two three seven eighty six
twenty four thirteen, or shoot an email over to Foster
Hope at the s oh dot org. That's Foster Hope
(50:17):
at t h e s oh dot org to schedule
and an eligibility screening. Now, you guys saying that you're
looking for support, you say down, I need some help.
I need to find well, I'm giving you the information
and I also want to welcome you to send me
an email vitamin D at Dawn dai speaks dot com.
That's vitamin D at Dawn d aispeaks dot com. All right,
(50:39):
we got Chuck on the line. Hey Chuck, Hey, how
you doing.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I guess you're doing really good, superstar, because you on
TV tonight.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yes, there's a Black Summit. I think we we it's
aering tonight. We are shouted last week. So hosting is
gonna be God well, he usually he's gonna be hosting it,
like Thay Easily was on there a little scrappy. It's
a lot of more atless and black guys. That was
(51:11):
part of the politics. Or they're trying to get a
lot of black men to get them out to vote.
So you know, I advise everybody to get out there
and all the actually all the black guys, get out
to the vote, because it's the popularity for a black
men voting is very low. So we're trying to push everybody,
all the black men to get out there and vote.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
And have you voted already? I'm voting tomorrow, all right,
And what is the conversation as you're talking to people,
do you have you spoken to any black men or
black brothers that are apprehensive about voting for Vice President
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (51:48):
Yes, I have talked to a few guys. You know,
a lot of guys are saying they are not with
voting for a woman. They don't want a woman in charge.
And I asked them why. Pretty much, you know, they
don't want no woman in control. You know how guys are.
But I'm voting for her. After I looked at the
polls and actually went to the summit and read everything
(52:12):
about Kambala Harris. He gave me the ideas she needs
to be the next president in.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
The United States, especially if you care about your life
and your children. Yes, you know, I'm disturbed to hear
about that that black man. They just don't want a
woman running things. But it's just like, I mean, I
don't know if this is ignorant to say, but more
chances than not, you are probably raised by a black
woman or a woman.
Speaker 4 (52:38):
Yeah, but you know some guys, you know, they want
to feel like and it's like all that stimuli check.
But Trump, that's when a lot of people are pushed
out to feel like Trump, which father the stimulus program,
but he wasn't really not after me listening to Kamala Harris,
you know, the House is passing the rules. You know,
the people don't understand. The House makes decisions what we
(53:00):
get and what we don't get. So that's the good
thing about that's the good and bad thing about it,
because it's like some things the President make choices on.
It might be an idea that the world don't agree with.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
That's right, So.
Speaker 4 (53:19):
Me going to me going to that Black summit, you know,
it taught me a lot about politics and I was
grateful to be part of it.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
Well, thank you for showing up. Thank you for being
a black man that's taking advantage of the opportunity of
choice and exercising your power. Thank you for spreading the
word to share with the community about the things that
matter to us, and that is our lives, our children's
lives and their lives and their lives.

I'm glad you got on Live, you know, because you're
broadcasting on your station and a lot of people in
California probably didn't know anything about it. So I'm putting
it out there now.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
Well, thank you for spreading the word. Now everybody else

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Yes, I'm grateful to be able to push it out
there because they were pretty much attending us today. You know,
try to put it on social media, and I had
some issues trying to put loads of video. Uh, that's
probably why I want I was gonna share it with
you earlier. But my technical was on my on my
cell phone, wasn't seen in the beaches on the videos.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
Somebody will say, okay, well put it in the chat

chat so people can see whatever the information or the
image that you want folks to see, I will.
Speaker 4 (55:28):

be able to watch it.
Speaker 1 (55:37):
All right, Well, thank you, Chuck, and thank you for
being part of a change and standing up for changing.
Speaker 4 (55:41):

Speaker 1 (55:41):
All right, all right, so there you got it. The
Black Summon is happening tonight on be et East coast,
on my east coast, woo ten o'clock Pacific, nine o'clock.
Check it out. I don't think we can not know enough.
And you know, just to somebody that's constantly getting moreversed
and knowing what going on, there are a lot of
people like me and you who may feel as though
(56:03):
you may be out of the looping things and the
thing that's so jarn and it's just like that's what
I want to make sure that my challenge is to
step up to me a voice even the voices. I'm
trying to amplify my own. But even speaking with another
executive director for an organization that is definitely prevalent in
our community right here in LA with creating jobs, say,
you know what they want to put me in front
(56:25):
of all these politicians. I don't know. I don't talk
how they do, I don't move how they do. But
at the end of the day, the moves that they
make affect you and your organization, and your organization is
impacting our community. So there is some way that we
got to bridge. We got to build a bridge. We
got to bridge the gap and connect the dots so
(56:47):
that when it comes down to our politics, when it
comes out to these bills, these laws, these legislation, it's
digestible for everyone to eat because at the end of
the day, it's affecting each and every one of us.
I don't know if Jay is still on, but I
want to give a shout out to Jay on YouTube.
I put the comment up. They said I can't join
(57:09):
at the moment, but I'm glad that I came across
your channel. I'll try to join in on your next
live and join your evening. I gotta make sure I
so listen and promote some more. We live at five
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Maybe it should be a five to six.
Maybe I'm gonna do a five to six. Keep it
cute or put it on mute. Now, I want to
welcome before I head out of here. Is there anyone
(57:29):
else that would like to call in? Is tonta Mantonta
Mantanta mantenness day. I don't know if you got something
on your heart, your mind, something you want to share.
Perhaps there isn't information. Is there something that you want
people to be abreast of. This is your opportunity right
now to call me. I'm in the studio eight one
eight four six one fifty four thirty two. Eight one
eight four six one fifty four thirty two. Can I
(57:55):
be transparent with y'all? Do we feel a little emotion
coming up? Maybe a little bit? Hey, cousin Wilma. You
know I'm always saying you can't fail if you don't quit.
And I am so grateful. I have been talking about,
(58:16):
probably for a good year and a half of how
to consistently get back in his studio, and I'm showing
up to bring you guys, content, to give you the
entertainment to elevate in so many ways, and I just
got to know that you're showing up and you're right
there with me, whether that's you sending me emails, making comments,
(58:41):
calling in. Yeah, I know this is my dream and
I'm going to continue to do it, but you know,
it really helps to have that support. So if you
know somebody that knows somebody else telling to pull up
on me bear before I leave out of here, did
you want to comment or call in that numbers eight one,
eight four, six, fifty four thirty two. I know you
(59:03):
may be at work, but I was just sharing with
the people because I was like, I don't know if
at one point, I'm like, do I just do it
one day a week now? Miss Latasha was the main one,
was like, non, we need to do it at five
and I know it is election season so things are
a bit hectic, but the couple lives. She hadn't been there,
and I'm just like, all right, we got to restrategize.
(59:23):
And it also makes me think of what I started
this episode with with Alah song, try again, cause you
got to pick yourself up and try again and try again,
cause you can't fail if you don't quit. If you
fall down seven times, get up eight and if you
can look up, you can get up. And sometimes the
(59:43):
encourage needs to be encouraged. And I know a lot
of people dealing with some things. A lot of depression
going on, a lot of confusion going on, a lot
of people sitting in this earth saying, Dawn, I don't
know what it is that I want to do. And
my thing is is just to do something. Find whatever
gets you excited, what gets you happy, and just keep
(01:00:04):
moving forward. And what you'll realize is that the things
they fall into place, they work out for you. Okay,
but you got to keep putting one foot in front
of the other. You're gonna have to do it scared.
You're gonna have to do it blindly, like I you know,
even as I'm in here, like I know what the
ultimate vision is. But if I'm just gonna go and
look at what I can visually see, well we're gonna
(01:00:25):
be stuck. So it's time to get unstuck, and it's
time to challenge yourself. I also want to give an update,
real fast, real quick. I have been telling you about
this organization called the African American Male Wellness Agency well
guess what. So the day is here, the time is now.
This Saturday, we have the Black Men's Wellness Day where
(01:00:48):
we're walking to save Black men's lives. This is happening
this Saturday, November two, at seven a m. We have
free health screenings. We're talking about blood pressure, glue clothes,
your sugar, hypertension. And now I don't think they can
do any prostetic exams, but I mean these types of
exams are gonna be absolutely free and it can help
(01:01:11):
save your life or perhaps somebody's life that you know.
So can you tell a brother to tell another or
tell a sister that says tell a brother? Go ahead.
If you watching this on your computer, whatever you see
the QR code, go ahead and scan that for more information.
Remember these are free health screens. There's gonna be music,
it's gonna be a KJLH entertainment stage. We're gonna have
a presentation stage where they're gonna do talk about black
(01:01:31):
mental health, where they're gonna talk about high blood pressure.
They're gonna talk about Parkinson's disease. Have you gotten your
eyes checked? People are making up so many excuses how
they didn't know different things were going on. Well, when
you got organizations that are pulling up, providing you resources,
providing you information that target it for people that look
just like you, why aren't you pulling up? It's happening
(01:01:54):
right around the way at the Michelle and Barack Obama
Sports Complex also known as Rancho Sienega Sports Complex, five
hundred and one Obama Boulevard. Y'all better pull up. Listen,
y'all better pull up. Thank you so much so I
(01:02:14):
want to get that information. Yes, I will be there,
so if you like to see me, you want to
pull up, you can definitely do that. I would greatly
appreciate it. And I see some comments coming in. Who
was this, miss Mayan? I'm still working, but I'm gonna
have to sit Oh this is from Bear. I'm still working,
but I'm gonna have to sit this one out. But nope,
(01:02:35):
I need that Vitamin D multiple times a week. Thank you.
(01:03:01):
Miss Mina says, yes, me too, I need Vitamin D
two times a week. Like Bear said, the best outcome
for me came from taking chances. Scared it all. Oftentimes
(01:03:23):
we feel what we do not see right, but that's
why you gotta rely on a vision. So I appreciate
each and every person that pulled up, and believe it
or not, your words touched me. Hello, you hear it, Hello,

until next time, family, always remember you are your greatest outside,
get
Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Your fight in Indy, you right here with me, and
get excited about your life.
I had a friend that called me today right before
I was heading in the studio, and it was a
good call. It was one of those checking calls that
was really quick, and while we began to share about
the various things that have been going on with each
and every one of us, he said, hey, Dan, how
you doing? And I said, I'm good. You know, I'm
(00:24):
very grateful. I said, if you were to look at
my life three hundred and sixty five days ago, oh
my gosh, it was a different story. But we know
a lot can happen within a year. As we progressed
on and continued the conversation, I said, you know, it's
something interesting where how indeed you could have everything that
(00:51):
you pray for, but yet perhaps feel a little lost
or apprehensive or I don't know, but I guess I'm
thinking to myself as far as you know, being able
to get around, having transportation, got it, getting back into
working out, I'm doing it. I'm studying improv at the
(01:13):
groundlings loving it. And I got my baby vitamin D
back in studio. E. And I think oftentimes when you
forget to keep your eye on your lane, whether that
be because you're checking it back at the review mirror
about what happened before, what could have been better, or
(01:33):
causing so much anxiety about how come it's not painting out,
or how come it doesn't look how you thought it
was going to look. Or perhaps you just look into
the left and right and you see what the next
person is doing. You realize that you bribe yourself. And
here's the fact of the matter. They say life is
the greatest teacher because first you take the test and
then you learn the lesson well in order to get
through things. That means you have to go through things.
(01:56):
And I guess you know you never know how things
are going to pan out, or especially if you have
your idea how to pan out, but you gotta be
grateful and you realize that you got to pick yourself
up and try again. I was thinking about Aliyah on
that track, her track try Again, and she just said
(02:17):
pick yourself, try again, and try again. So I say
that's to you as I say it to myself, or
I say it to myself as I say it to you.
Pick yourself up and try again. You can't fail if
you don't quit. And I guarantee if you were to
look at your life three hundred and sixty five days ago.
(02:38):
You have a heck of a story, right, So don't
count yourself out just yet. You gotta stay encourage because
greater is coming, and that greater is now. It's that
damn dawn like the break of day, and it's time

(04:05):
up today and I find myself more oftentimes than not
saying when somebody says, oh, it's good to see you,
I said it was good to be seen rather than
being viewed. No beddyet They say how are you? And
I say, it's always better to be seen than being viewed. Right, Well,
we got some things to talk about. I have some news,
(04:28):
some stories, and then I'm opening up the phone lines.
I'm opening up the phone lines to you because it's
a talk to and time tum and time to and Tuesday,
and I want you to call me because we got
a lot going on. I mean, in one week we're
voting for the next president of the United States. There's
a lot that needs to be discussed. Okay, I want
(04:50):
to hear your views, your thoughts, your opinions. My cousin
Fiala is on. Hey, cousin Fie. I want to hear
your thoughts, your views, and your opinions because this is
what it matters, and it would mean a lot. You know,
I put in work to come to the studio to
talk to y'all, so make sure you call me. So
take note of this number eight one a four six
one fifty four to thirty two. That's eight one eight
(05:14):
four six one fifty four thirty two. Okay, coming up,
I have the advice letter. I haven't even read it yet,
but it's something about somebody kay talk to their child's
father up in Georgia. We'll discover it together. Plus, you
know the Dodgers are playing the Yankees. Will they sweep tonight?
(05:37):
Do we have any Dodgers fans out here? I mean,
let me know. Now, let me just tell you this
right now. This will be the eighth World Series for
the Dodgers, and tonight it could be a sweep. Now.
I don't know if you've been following me on my
social medias and stuff, but you know I'll be out
there playing softball right listen. I think it's still up
(05:59):
in the story Dawn Dai speaks head over there and
you see me swinging that bet. I'm number eleven all
day during day, all day. Hey, so it's been fun
my position. Oh you're wondering, Oh, thank you so much
for asking we played third base. Uh huh, I'll be
infiled in. I'll be throwing because I got that arm.
(06:22):
So hopefully I'll be able to show you some more content. Also,
let me get to some news really quick. I want
to jump into the letter and then I need you
all to call me so that we can have a conversation.
Now if you are in Los Angeles or California, rather
updated news. Did you know they have autonomous shuttles that
are beginning to go into operation. I'm talking about shuttles
(06:42):
that have no person in there, Shuttles that will be
free of charge. Okay, Now, there are three all electric
driverless shuttles that will begin operating in Riverside this come
January twenty twenty five. This come. You know what I'm saying. Now,
this is what city officials announced today. Now, the zero
emission autonomous shuttles will be operated and maintained by the
(07:04):
Riverside Transit Agency as part of a two year trial
run to complement its existing bus service. Now, when the
vehicles hit the streets Areta Riverside Transit Agency will become
the first public transportation agency in the US to operate
fully electric autonomous shuttles. The shuttle seat hello. The shuttles
(07:30):
seat eight and are capable of reaching speeds of thirty
one miles per hour, but will probably operate closer to
fifteen miles per hour, and that's depending on traffic and
the chosen route. Now the city is considering deploying them
at UC Riverside, downtown and the near the local airport,
among other options. Now officials said that the shuttle night
(07:52):
quotes will move people around the city at no cost
to the public, emitting no emissions and improving air quality
by taking cars off the road. It's a plan that's
been in the works for more than a year, as
Riverside agreed to purchase the vehicles last December or last
November and work with the manufactory and bring its headquarters
(08:12):
to the Inland Empire. Now I'm curious to know what
thoughts are. On one note, I'm like, oh, this is great,
this is a good thing. But is this necessarily good
for our economy? Because remember there was somebody that once
drove the car. Remember there was somebody that wants cleaned.
The buses, change the tires like it's a rippled down effect.
But overall, we know we are in this whole moment
(08:34):
where there is a climate change going on. So I'm
curious when I open the phone lines, please comment on
any of the stories that I do have. All Right,
so that's just something to think about. Okay, I need
to shout out. Miss Winds is in the house. I
got Miss may in in the house. I was talking
about playing softball. Miss wind said, you hit a home run. Note,
(08:55):
but I got an RBI. I hit on a base
and I hit a good too. I know you saw it. Okay,
news about homelessness or are unhoused individuals, Well, this is
great news, I suppose. Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen
Bass announced that more than eight hundred million dollars will
(09:16):
be added into the pile the bucket, the funding to
help those who are unhoused. Yes, Today, Tuesday, October twenty ninth,
their Mayor Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom jointly announced additional
funding to combat homelessness. The eight hundred and twenty seven
million dollars in estate funding will better connect people experiencing
(09:40):
homelessness to shelters and services. Now. That money will go
to thirty seven regional grantees that represent one hundred local
communities and organizations across the state. Newsom's office said in
the release, and I quote, the funding comes with the
strong accountability measures and reporting requirements to ensure funding is
used effect and outcomes can be tracked and measured. Now,
(10:03):
Bass's office offered details as to how much each local
area will receive. What we got Los Angeles receiving three
hundred and eighty million, Riverside to receive twenty one million,
and San Bernardino eleven million. All these are all estimate
their continuous numbers, but around about now. In this morning's
press conference, Newsome pointed out that this kind of state
(10:26):
and local partnership to combat homelessness wasn't available when he
served as mayor of San Francisco, and he says the
state has stepped up in ways the state has never
stepped up in the past. Now. Bass said the additional
funding is indicative of the work officials have been doing
over the past few years to combat the homelessness crisis,
and she quotes, we're bringing every level of government together.
(10:50):
What do you think about it? Like, I understand that
we are funding organizations, we are creating these shelters, but
what is to be said about those who are dealing
with mental health issues. Does this solve the problem, because
we can have various shelters and organizations, but if somebody
is combating a mental illness, where's the logic to be
understood as to why they should report to that facility,
(11:12):
how they should check in every day? And I have
been getting wind speaking with various executive directors of organizations
how there are some organizations out there and even some
community members have stated that all of these individuals who
are getting grants to combat homelessness, they're not doing the jime. Heck,
when I was on the FM down, I believe somebody
(11:34):
had gave word up in Long Beach how a motel
was geared to those who were on housed or experiencing
homelessness and they weren't doing anything about it. What happens
when you're going to these organizations and you're getting the
services and they're just putting signatures down. I'm just saying,
these are just things to think about. Okay, So welcome
(11:54):
to call you in the studio. I'm about to jump
into this Vitamin D advice letter. The number is eight
one eight for six one fifty four thirty two eight
one eight four, six, one fifty four thirty two. We
will open the lines up in a few minutes. But
I'm giving you the numbers so you can come. Cause
it's to and tons of it's tons of its day.
All right, y'all ready for this letter. I don't even
(12:16):
know this is hot off the price. I haven't even
gotten any type of markings on it to lay eyes
on it. So listen, we are coming in how together.
What you hear is what you get now. As I preface,
if you need advice on your relationship, on your career,
any life major change point, and you said, don don
(12:36):
like the break of day, I need a word, Well,
I'm here to shed some light. Now. This is what
I want to be clear about when we talk about
shedding light with vitamin D. It's on the good and
the bad. Why because if you want to be better
and you want to do better, then you're going to
have to see better. That's going to require you to
get uncomfortable. That's going to require me to get up
in that but a little bit. It's going to require
(12:58):
change period. Okay, but eat the meat, spit out the bone.
So let's jump into this letter. Now. I guess the
subject of the theme is red hot jealousy and angry
old wounds keep spilling back into my marriage.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay, calling all the individuals, come up to the front row.
Come up to the front row if you have experience
within a long standard relationship, because I'm sure you can
pull in some advice, you can shed some light. All right,
here we go. Dear Dawn. I always look forward to
the Vitamin D show. Thank you so much, but right
(13:35):
now I sure do need some of your insight. Dawn.
I cheated on my husband over eleven years ago. It
was stupid and I regretted it every day. It almost
destroyed my marriage to a wonderful man who really loves me.
Because I got pregnant from that affair. Dawn and I
(13:57):
decided to keep the baby. My husband and I separated
over it for six months and we got back to
talking to each other and we worked things out and
he forgave me, and we've been raising Kevin, our son
ever since. The three of us were all very happy
until six months ago. My fair partner came back at
(14:18):
Kevin's tenth birthday party, no less, and said that he
wanted to be in Kevin's life. Oh lord, brother proverb.
I'm reading a vitamin de avice letter. You want to
hold on the line while I read it? Hello? Hello,
hold on, Okay, I'm reading a vitamin device letter. He
(14:42):
can't understand. Okay, let me continue, y'all. That's my brother proverb.
He don't mind, he'll call me back. All right now, Okay, listen,
y'all heard what was going on. She cheated on her husband,
she got pregnant. The husband forgave her after five months
or six months or five months, heck, he forgave her.
They start to back talking. Now her the son, the
love child or the child is ten. The original daddy
(15:06):
wants to come back. Okay, here we go. My affair
partner came back at Kevin's tenth birthday party, no less,
and said that he wanted to be in Kevin's life.
My husband almost beat his head into the ground. It
took both brothers and my uncle to pull my husband's
hands off him all dawn. It was awful. My husband
doesn't want me to have any contact with Kevin's biological
(15:28):
father at all. No phone calls, no texts, no messages
or nothing. No forget. He forgives me for the affair,
but he doesn't forgive the man brother proverb hold on Okay, okay,
he forgives me for the affair, but he doesn't forgive
the man that I cheated on him with. He flies
(15:50):
into a jealous rage as soon as he's brought up.
It took a lot of doing, but I'm convinced my
husband that I don't love Kevin's biological father y'all coming
in high Kevin's biological father, and that I'm not going
to leave my husband or have any more affairs, but
Kevin needs to know his biological father. I also promise
(16:13):
my husband not to have any direct contact with my
former affair partner for any reason. But this has opened
old wounds in my marriage to a really good man.
It hurts my heart to see him so angry, and
now our son is also upset about how it's affected
us as a family. Dawn, How do I fix this
and also at least for the next eight years until
(16:33):
Kevin turns eighteen? How do I cope in with someone
I'm not allowed to talk to. How do I arrange
pickups and drop offs, vacations and medical issues. I'm so
stressed on I don't know what to do. Sign my
ass should have known better. Atlanta, Georgia. Oh my gosh,
did y'all hear this letter? What would y'all do? First
(16:54):
of all, the first thing or the first word that
comes to my mind is mature. Each party has to
be mature in this situation. Like, I understand, feelings are hurt,
but now we're talking about another child. And yes, it
is important to have a I mean, I think it's
important to have a father figure.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think it's important if a biological father wants to
be there. Yes, and I think a man that steps
up to as a father figure is important as well.
But what is that to be said? Regardless of the fact,
if you have a father figure in your life, how
do you explain to a child that my dad is
out there? How do you explain to a child that
my dad is out there but doesn't want to talk
(17:35):
to me, doesn't want to get to know me. These
are psychological effects that can affect people down the line
and down the line. When do you get to the
point that you're gonna have to step up and say,
wait a minute, my feelings are hurt. But once I
decided and accepted my wife and forgiven her, that comes
with everything that's a part of her, because now it's
like you got to get your ego off the way
(17:56):
because you got a child to factory. No, no, would
you consider this is a selfish situation or do you
think it's just due? Is it wrong on the mother's
end to withhold her child or not be in contact
with the father, Because at the end of the day,
you got sweet sixteen, you got homecomings, and like you said,
(18:17):
you got graduations. This is not a just a one
bam thank you, ma'am. When you are having a child
with someone, you have to deal with them with eighteen
years of your life. And I'm just wondering, if there's
anybody out there and you've heard the letter, perhaps you've
been in a situation in which you have a child
and the other partner may not approve of the other parent.
(18:38):
In that dynamic, do you keep the child away from
the parent? I think we're gonna have to put our
big panties on. I think there needs to be a
round table discussion, Miss Atlanta, because at the end of
the day, this is your child, and this is your baby,
and we know that these types of things can psychologically
affect a child. And yeah, I get it a lot
(18:59):
of us. I'm just going to oom, you're black, not
because of what happened, but maybe because you and Georgia
and you're listening to Vitamin D. But listen, we open
to everybody. But my whole point in saying is is
that it's already enough in our community that we don't
do enough talking, talking with one another, also even going
to a therapist, a therapy. So that's my suggestion. Now
(19:19):
I got I got my brother. Proverb on the line,
proverb are you there?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, I'm here. How you doing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I'm good, I'm good. Thank you so much for calling
me on talk to me Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah, I got the message, so I had to go
ahead and call.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
So did you get a chance Are you viewing us
online too? Or you just called in?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I just called in. I didn't get a chance for
you yet.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh yeah, I was one. I meant to tell y'all
to view because I was up there giving advice on
the Vitamin D advice letter. I'm just curious, what would
you do? A woman just wrote in and she said, Dawn,
I had an affair. I cheated on my husband. It
was eleven years ago. She regrets it. Her husband started
talking to her. I mean, I'm telling you they had
(20:06):
moved out, you know, for six or so months. Okay,
now years have gone by. Let's just say fast forward
ten years. She promised her husband that she would no
longer talk to the father of her child because she
decided to keep the child from the affair. And here
comes the sons. The Kevin is his name, tenth birthday,
(20:27):
and the biological father wants to be a part of
his life. What would you recommend that she do?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, that's a lot, that's a lot. My suggestion is
because he didn't get a chance to know this man
and the only person so he does know the other father, correct.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
She knows the son, Kevin, knows the husband, which is
his stepfather. But now this Kevin, the son's biological father,
wants to be in his life. She promised her husband
that she would have no contact with him. But what
is she supposed to do about her son's father? Okay,
(21:22):
do you choose your husband or your child?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Because of the fact that she one she uh, she
hadn't had contact with them before, correct, the political father.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Up until six months ago, so it's been about ten years.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So the thing is, though, when you when you're building
a relationship, are actually, let's say, when you build it,
when you're trying to build that family. Yeah, she made
the mistake, or I only want to say it was
a mistake, it was a mishap. It was it was misfortunate,
but a child was a child was born, so I
(22:01):
can't call it anything but a blessing. So she had
this blessing of a child. So once the father was
able to get once no, not even once the husband
was able to able to forgive his wife for what happened,
(22:22):
they built that family. Yeah. I understand that situation, how
he wants to be part of his life. But here's
the thing you have to look at. Okay, will it
do damage to him right now? Will will it be
(22:44):
a problem in the infrastructure of their family? Now? I
believe I had a similar Well, I had a situation
that was like that too. I was raised by my
stepfather and my mom never told me about my father.
But the problem was, when I turned twenty one, he
(23:06):
sought out after me. Yes, I wanted to meet him. Yes,
I wanted to know about him because you know, I
had siblings, but I was an adult, so I felt like,
you know, I wouldn't be hurting my stepfather, which raised me,
my pots.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Or my mom.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
But in this situation where she kind of did she
promised that she wouldn't keep in contact with him, or
did he find her and then they started the communication,
that's another question.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well, she says, my husband doesn't want me to have
any contact with Kevin's biological father at all, no phone calls,
no texts, no messages or nothing. He forgives me for
the affair, but he doesn't forgive the man that I
cheated on him with. Well, who was to say that
he knew that she was married.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
That's true, that's true. It's a little bit more, don
I think it's a little bit more to that letter though,
because I can understand he wanted to keep his household old.
But it sounds like it's a little bit more to
that letter. So I you know, families have their secrets,
(24:26):
but I would suggest maybe sitting down, actually sitting down
with the child.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
He's ten, right, Yeah, this is his tenth birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It's his tenth birthday. Only that he knows this is
her husband. I mean, that's kind of it's it. It's
kind of rough for a kid to make a decision
on if he wanted to really sit and see this man,
so he has to. It has to be something that
has to be decided by both parents. But she kind
(25:01):
of already messed up though, dying because he made her promise,
and she still is in contact with this man, So
I mean the trust factor, everything's about the trust.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
So well, she hasn't been in contact. Remind you the
fact that he just pulled up.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
He just pulled up, Okay, So yeah, all right, Well
that then I would suggest a conversation needs to be had.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
And that's why I said communication is kid my cousin Fiala.
She says, I would communicate with a family member, and
I mean, technically you did not communicate directly with the
biological father. But is that wrong now, Miss Mayan, she's
commented on Facebook, said I would allow the biological father
to see his son. At least he is trying. You
have some fathers that don't want their child at all,
(25:47):
so allow him to be in his life. Well, if
she allows him to be in his life, was she
gonna lose her marriage? But which one is more important?
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's a that's a that's the night in a maybe,
I mean because The thing is he uh he felt
the tray before, and it sounds like it's a lot
of uh distrust he has. He has a problem with
the trust factor.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So rightfully, so, I mean, she did have an affair
and she did get pregnant, but you know she stowed off.
Well okay, well thank you. Mss Wanda said, how could
he just pull up unless she told him she was
pregnant and where they were? That's true. Now, Miss Maya said,
(26:34):
the child is more important.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I did think so too. Yeah, I think I think
the child is more important. But the thing is, uh,
you still want that family structure you're trying to you're
trying to develop the shameman into something more. So do
you go ahead and bring him in because the thing is,
you don't know the stance on the father. The father
(27:03):
he may want to be a part of his life
or how are we to know that he doesn't want
to get back into her life because you have guys
that will do that. Well, look, I'm going to keep
it positive. I think he does want to probably be
in this young man's life, but he has to go
about it the right way.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
And what's the right way speaking to the husband? Uh?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Nah, he I think basically they all have to get together,
all three of them, because that's over ten years ago.
I mean, things happen and people grow up. I mean,
like you said, everybody got to pull their pants up
in and be adults about it. It takes a village
to raise a child, especially young men. So he has
(27:49):
the benefit of having both fathers, you know, the one
that's raising him right now and is biological father.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
And I ain't called you. I mean it sounded like
the biological father might be a little concern because when
he pulled up to birthday party, they beat his ass.
I'm talking her brothers and her uncle had to pull
her husband off of her child's five.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh yeah, it's more. It's more to this.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Okay, Well we dived in. Y'all have comments since you
called in another thing that I wanted to talk about,
and I think it's so great. Since you are a man.
What's going on? How do you feel about the election?
What's going on? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
It was interesting because I went to the men's empowerment
and that was the big issue right there. You know,
everybody was talking about Kamala, you know, Stevie was talking
about Kamala. Comments were made. I had friends that made comments.
But what people tend to forget is when Kamala was
(28:57):
the DA, she had a job to do, and a
lot of people in the Bay Area really have a
dislike for the way she handled her business. But then
and again, she's the DA, She's supposed to that that
was her job, and it moved her to the next position,
(29:20):
which moved her to the next position, which moved her
to the position that she's in right now. A lot
of stuff, a lot of negative is always going to
be put out there to discourage, So I just encourage
people to always go go two or three steps further
to find out their truth and read read other stuff
(29:41):
besides what they put out to the forefront.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
For this lady.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
A lot of things have been said, a lot of
things have been mentioned, you know, smart campaigns. But the
way I feel about where we are Project twenty twenty
five is real. It's actually happening right now. Don It's
not people saying, oh, it's going to happen in January. No,
(30:08):
it's happening right now. They are really trying to get
rid of our rights to move freely in this country.
And it's a shame. It's scary. So you know, everything
everything compensation wise, workmen's comp insurances that you get from
your from your job, to help you heal, to help
(30:31):
you do they're trying to get rid of all of that.
So and then we aren't going to talk about education
because education they really are trying to put a foothold
in it. But I just I just encourage people to
go out and vote. And you already see. I know
a lot of people see the rally, and the rally
(30:52):
if that rally doesn't tell you anything, it should tell
you some truths. And the way I feel is you
gotta stand up. There's no there's no excuse. People can
say what they want to say, but there's no excuse
you if you're able to vote, vote, you know, because
(31:13):
everybody can. Everybody can have a common denominator or have
a person that they want in their life to direct
and to do. But we gotta be more hands on
because our people are one of the We we will
spend money all day, but when it comes to politics,
when it comes to making that decision, we tend to
(31:34):
shun away from it or we tend to like I'm
gonna just sit this one out no, we can't sit
this one out. You sit this one out, you're gonna
be You're not gonna be sitting. You're gonna be working,
and you're not gonna get paid, and you're gonna get
stuck doing some stuff that you don't want to be doing.
And then we got to talk about our kids because
they gonna they're gonna put them in their line too.
(31:57):
So it's it's it's a scary situation, but it's a
real one and everybody's gonna have to wake up. Gotta
wake up with what it is.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Everybody in no more sleeping in bed. Okay, thank you Proverb,
because somebody else calls in. Can you watch UK Life
and then call me back?
Speaker 3 (32:17):
I will you later, all right, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Well, don't play with me, play with your cell phone?
Can we pay you back? Off of what Proverb was saying. Now,
I don't want to misconstrue the facts, Miss Wanda. You
can call me back right now if you want. I
don't want to misconstrue the facts. But from what I heard,
and I should have had the audio, and I should
be no one at the top of my brain, but yes,
(32:44):
Kamala was Vice president Harris soon to be president. Harris
was a prosecutor, but I think her record showed that
amongst the people that had been locking people up for
illegal possession, she had the least arrest or convictions. But yes,
she was supposed to do her job. Are we saying
(33:05):
just because she's black? You know, that's not where it's at.
I don't know. I just want to employ you all
to call me. Now, miss Wanda calls in. Let me
see if I can see her number. Look, she's right here. Hey,
miss Wanda, Hello, Hello, how are you? I'm good? Talk
(33:28):
to me, talk to him. It talked to me tuesday.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Well, it's good to see you and to hear you,
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Glad that you back.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
You back Live Live and just listening to the brother
Brother proverb and his comments and also listen to you.
In regards to the election, I think it's unfortunate that
there's a lot of information out there, and most of
(34:02):
the information that is out there about Vice President Harris's
record when she was a prosecutor is really not very
accurate in regards to what she actually did. What she
was one of the first ones to start finding ways
(34:23):
to actually to actually help the persons that were convicted
of various crimes to get back on the right track,
and so as a prosecutor, I mean, she did have
to do certain things in that capacity, but she also
found ways to be able to get the brothers and
(34:44):
sisters back on the right track. And that's the information
that's not being put out there. And obviously we also
have to look at where is most of the information
of that nature coming from, you know, I mean, it's
not an accident that that's all that we are basically
hearing these sound bites, which is why a lot of
unfortunately a lot of people that look like us, are
(35:07):
making the I think the wrong choice based on the
wrong information of what they're they may do for the elections.
So I think it's really important that we really get
all the facts and then we also wait up the alternatives.
I mean, you know, some people are saying, Okay, well,
I'm not going to vote for anybody. The alternative is
(35:28):
you're going to get somebody, and that somebody is probably
not going to be who you want. And so we
have to be thinking, you know, is that the best move?
We always wait until it's the time for an election
before we want to have all these different thoughts and
information that we bring out as opposed to helping to
(35:50):
maybe support or help candidate come about.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Before we get to the election.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
That's going to maybe the support of of what we
want to uh to see. But once we get to
that point where we know that there's going to be
these candidates, it's kind of late to now me saying
all the things that you know, most people are talking
about that really is way before this. So we're at
the point where people have to make a decision, and
(36:18):
really we really need to be putting out that information
that Brother Provert talked about with the project uh twenty five.
You know, I'm I'm saying it wrong. Whatever the project,
you know, a name that they came up with, their
their their basically plan. I'm forgetting it now, but you know,
you know what I'm talking about. The bottom line is
(36:39):
this is definitely something that we need to be thinking about.
And I think that information was talked about in the beginning,
but it's not being talked about as much. And I
think a lot of the people who are deciding that
they want to vote for a certain person versus the
other really need to go back and remember that this
(36:59):
is definite in play. And that they may really, really
really be sorry if they do.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's right, And it's so interesting that we come to
a point like our whole idea that I think with
freedom is your power of choice to be able to choose.
And here we are at the moment of an election
that it can change the state of today, tomorrow and beyond,
and we're choosing not to use our power. It's very alarming.
And you know, just to piggyback off of what you're saying,
(37:25):
why do we wait right before the election. And it's furthermore,
all of the positions in the local offices that have
a lot to do with how we live our everyday
life and not just the presidential election, but it's like,
what do we need to do because a lot of
the funding that we need, a lot of the resources
that we're talking about, a lot of the opportunities when
we're calling schooling that doesn't come every four years, and
(37:46):
it doesn't just come around election season. This is how
we live every day of our lives. How are we
just a loof do you think as a people we
just don't care or perhaps as a community we aren't
doing enough to put forth the importance of these elections.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Well, I think that it's it's probably a combination of of.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Of of all of it.
Speaker 5 (38:12):
You know, we don't care as much because we haven't
there's a lot of Again it's information to make it
important to us. And again, like you said, it's not
just about the presidential election. It's really, to be honest,
more about the local and state elections because those are
the ones that are going to make the biggest, biggest differences.
And especially when we come down to the judicial system,
(38:35):
where those judges that you know, they were talking on
another situation that was listening to where they were saying
that there's a judge that ran unopposed, that judge is
going to automatically get in most most likely, and we
have no clue if that judge is going to be
a good uh uh judge or a bad judge. But
(38:57):
he doesn't make a difference right now because there's no
that's opposing that judge. And so these are things that
really make the bigger difference when it comes down to
the everyday situation. So we have to be thinking about
not just the obviously the presidential but the one the
elections that really help build up to that presidential and
then why aren't we also thinking about how we can
(39:18):
get more involved in the election progatorial process and know
more about it, as well as helping to support candidates
that are going to do what we want people to do.
You know, it's it's it's it's a process, and it's
not something that happens overnight and we can complain. But
if we don't take action, then we need to at
(39:40):
least support what is happening to the best that we
can and not just get mad and say, oh, I'm
not going to do anything just because the person that
I want or what I think has got to happen
is not what I want to happen. So you know,
I'm not going to do anything because it doesn't make
a difference if you don't do any I mean, it
does make a difference where you don't do it. It's
(40:01):
not a situation where you don't do anything and it's
going to be all good. You don't do anything, it's
going to be probably all bad, uh, you know for
those of us who don't pay attention. And the other
thing is we can't wait for candidates to save ourselves.
You know, it's not about necessarily these candidates, although it's
obviously going to make a big difference. But if we
(40:22):
are getting ourselves together and putting plans together for our
future and knowing, you know how we're going to work
together and have something in place that is not necessarily
dependent upon somebody giving us a handout or what they
do for us, and we don't have to necessarily worry
about who's going to be the president or or you know,
(40:45):
other official because we have a plan and we have
some things that we are hopefully able to do for ourselves.
And that goes from everything from even food. I mean
we can grow our own food. We can you know, uh,
we can put things together in terms of our finances
and just all types of things that we really are
not doing to the degree that we need to, so
(41:08):
that we can make a difference and not wait for
other people. I mean back in the day, this is
what we did because we didn't have anybody coming.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
To save us.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Come on, now, save our way for somebody.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
To come save us. And that's not what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Thank you for the Miswanda, I greatly appreciate that we
cannot we have to be able to step in and
you know, it's just like no other thing that we
have a car and we need the car repair, we
get repairs on our house. You got somebody that you
are paying to do work for you, and you just
gonna sit back and not care what they do, how
they do, and who they do it for. That don't
(41:42):
make no sense to it. These are our dollars that
are paying these individuals because we are paying taxes. And
just the same as if someone were doing your hair,
your nails, fixing your car, driving you somewhere, you are
giving them monies expecting them to do a job. So
why wouldn't we hold them accountable? Why wouldn't we go
through an interview process and be selective and know them?
(42:06):
Thank you so much, Miss Wanda. All Right, well I.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Have a good one and I'm going to continue listening,
and I'm glad that you're back live.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yes, and you might need to call back that damn
doing like the freaking day. Thank you. It's Wanda. What
you think that was? Miss Wanda? Ms Wanta honor right,
were talking about the Wighole idea. We know the election
is one week away. You got several individuals who have
came forth and said, you know what, Kamala's she she
(42:40):
arrested so many of us black brothers, Why should we
vote for them? You know what, I'm not voting for
anybody essentially losing our position or our power to vote. Now,
there are some people that say, you know, there was
a time that we really held on to our power, right,
there was a time when we stepped forward. That's way
before there was desegregation. And just like Miss Wanda said,
we had point that we had to rely on ourselves.
(43:02):
But just because we get support, when do we forget
our own power? And noticing that it is us with
our feet on the ground in our communities, knowing what's
going on, want to say, we're gonna step up, to
look up, to move up. Well, first off, we're gonna
have to get up and essentially pull up. Let me
know what you think, Come and bust up in the comments.
I'm gonna put the number in the chat. I want
(43:22):
to open this up. This is talk to me Tuesday.
I'm staying on as long as I have interaction because
I want to hear from you. Otherwise we could just
play the podcast back. But we're talking about the election,
talked about the Dodgers game that's going on tonight. I
told you about the electric the autonomous vehicles happening in riversides.
(43:44):
Let me know your thoughts on any of our comments,
our conversations, anything that's been sparking your mind. Have you
already went to vote? Let me know in the comments
or call me. Let me know if you've casted your
vote already. Now, one thing, I don't know if anybody
has been privy to have you been hearing what's happening
around the country. I don't know if this is a
norm thing and social media is highlighting it more. But
(44:06):
is it just me or does it seem like you're
hearing a lot about these ballots? I was just I
was when I came in the studio. I forget what
Ariel was in where the mail truck driver whoever was
transporting the ballots did not lock the door, so bens
of ballots were caught on the street. Luckily it was
still locked up, and thankfully somebody that was driving down
(44:29):
the road decided to go take it off to the
I don't know if they took the post off. I
think they took it to the police station. But then
you hearing just like I think it was in Arizona
where they set the mailbox, thing on fire. Y'all better
ring the alarm, You better wake up, you better ask
somebody listen. Don't play with me, play with yourself. But
(44:50):
in this case we need not to because there's a
lot of change going on. The election is seven days away.
I would love to hear from you. Can you call
tell me eight one eight four six one fifty four
to thirty two eight one eight four six one fifty
four to thirty two. Whatever you got on your mind,
whether it be about the elections, some news stories, perhaps
(45:11):
it's something that you want to be grateful for, you
want to share that you're grateful for. If you're already
called in miss wander proverb, feel free to call back again.
But either way, it's talked to me Tuesday, So come me.
I want to hear from you. I mean I could
go down to Rolodex and just start calling people and
to seeing what's up. Now Miss Latasha yeap over there
(45:32):
on Long Beach with Sunshine Recreation Center. I told you
a lot of the opportunities and activities that they have offered.
Right well, she messaged me and told me that I
think she was handling some polling or something with the
voting and she could not She couldn't tune in. She says, Oh,
I'm working late today because I'm a poll worker for
(45:53):
county elections. We started Friday evening check in with our
voting site, and we'll be running through Saturday morning to
Tuesday night. I would try the log in, but maybe later. Okay, Hey,
oh my gosh, you just call y'all give a shout
out to Miss Mac Marie McCarthy. Hi, Miss Mac, I'm
grateful for you. If it wasn't for Miss Mac, I
(46:15):
wouldn't be sitting here right in front of you, Miss Mac.
Mss McCree, Who am I thinking of? Miss Page Over
at scoop underneath the Public Benefit Corporation taught high school
students how to hold a camera and to do video.
And it was in that program that I learned that
I had a voice and that people wanted to hear it.
(46:37):
Then I started voicing the PSAs well. Here look at me,
Dawn Day here today, Miss Mac. You can call me
in the studio if you want. I mean, we talked
about it eight one, eight four, six thirty two. Uh,
Chuck is in the house. Chuck says, Dawn. I was
part of the black Someone on beet that is Airrington Night. Well, congratulations, Chuck.
(46:59):
You are more than welcome to call me and tell
me about it. I would love to hear about it.
Just some news from Misswanda. I just heard there was
a crowd of Trump supporters on the overpass on the
four h five shouting to vote for Trump. We need
to be showing the same support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
(47:19):
Now you got a whole different name up there, but
I'm assuming you meant Kamala Harris, and you're right about that.
We gotta be loud about it. That's what we need
to do. We need to be allowed because in less
than seven days it's going down, or perhaps it could
be going up. But that's only if we show up.
And I'm not going to hold you just like I
was previously sharing about the fact of what they've been
(47:41):
saying with these mailboxes and the ballots. Maybe it's not
a new thing, but it almost makes you a little
bit apprehensive to say, hey, do I want to cast
my vote in early because could it be headed out
in no man's land? Or do you feel more comfortable
by actually logging in the ballot in the first place.
So that's your opportunity to call me eight one eggs

share this. I'm putting a link in the chat. This

you are not able to call right now, and you
are in a space that maybe you can only click
from your phone, you can join by video or just

by audio by clicking this link that I just shared
in the chat. Clicking in there. Also, I guess I
also could give you some resources and information. Let me
see if I have anything up before I head out
of here, because like I said, we will cut in
short if there's nothing to be said. Hey, let me
(48:46):
just share with this. This is Sanctuary of Hope. Shout
out to miss Janet. They are doing a rapid rehousing
and prevention. Is this what Sanctuary or Hope? Yes, it
is rapid rehous and prevention services for trafficking survivors. Wow.
I don't know if you guys have checked on the
past episodes, but I actually had a trafficking survivor right
(49:08):
from the forties right here in la Keanu Monroe. She
wanted to detail about what happened to her. And trafficking
isn't just about oh, I'm taking you away from your family.
You can have somebody traffic that comes in and out
your house meeting the victim. Is this Charles, okay, this
is Charles Hey, Charles hold one second, okay, okay. So
(49:34):
if you are a trafficking survivor, or if you know
someone let me not. You know right now that if
you are experiencing any type of homelessness crisis, that there's
help and availability to you. You must be between the
ages of eighteen and twenty five, homeless or an immediate
risk of becoming homeless, definitely a trafficking survivor, and income
must be at or below the fifty percent AMI average
(49:57):
medium income. I just make that up, but I think
that sounds right. Contact three two three seven eight six
twenty four thirteen. That's three two three seven eighty six
twenty four thirteen, or shoot an email over to Foster
Hope at the s oh dot org. That's Foster Hope
(50:17):
at t h e s oh dot org to schedule
and an eligibility screening. Now, you guys saying that you're
looking for support, you say down, I need some help.
I need to find well, I'm giving you the information
and I also want to welcome you to send me
an email vitamin D at Dawn dai speaks dot com.
That's vitamin D at Dawn d aispeaks dot com. All right,
(50:39):
we got Chuck on the line. Hey Chuck, Hey, how
you doing.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I guess you're doing really good, superstar, because you on
TV tonight.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yes, there's a Black Summit. I think we we it's
aering tonight. We are shouted last week. So hosting is
gonna be God well, he usually he's gonna be hosting it,
like Thay Easily was on there a little scrappy. It's
a lot of more atless and black guys. That was
(51:11):
part of the politics. Or they're trying to get a
lot of black men to get them out to vote.
So you know, I advise everybody to get out there
and all the actually all the black guys, get out
to the vote, because it's the popularity for a black
men voting is very low. So we're trying to push everybody,
all the black men to get out there and vote.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
And have you voted already? I'm voting tomorrow, all right,
And what is the conversation as you're talking to people,
do you have you spoken to any black men or
black brothers that are apprehensive about voting for Vice President
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (51:48):
Yes, I have talked to a few guys. You know,
a lot of guys are saying they are not with
voting for a woman. They don't want a woman in charge.
And I asked them why. Pretty much, you know, they
don't want no woman in control. You know how guys are.
But I'm voting for her. After I looked at the
polls and actually went to the summit and read everything
(52:12):
about Kambala Harris. He gave me the ideas she needs
to be the next president in.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
The United States, especially if you care about your life
and your children. Yes, you know, I'm disturbed to hear
about that that black man. They just don't want a
woman running things. But it's just like, I mean, I
don't know if this is ignorant to say, but more
chances than not, you are probably raised by a black
woman or a woman.
Speaker 4 (52:38):
Yeah, but you know some guys, you know, they want
to feel like and it's like all that stimuli check.
But Trump, that's when a lot of people are pushed
out to feel like Trump, which father the stimulus program,
but he wasn't really not after me listening to Kamala Harris,
you know, the House is passing the rules. You know,
the people don't understand. The House makes decisions what we
(53:00):
get and what we don't get. So that's the good
thing about that's the good and bad thing about it,
because it's like some things the President make choices on.
It might be an idea that the world don't agree with.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
That's right, So.
Speaker 4 (53:19):
Me going to me going to that Black summit, you know,
it taught me a lot about politics and I was
grateful to be part of it.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
Well, thank you for showing up. Thank you for being
a black man that's taking advantage of the opportunity of
choice and exercising your power. Thank you for spreading the
word to share with the community about the things that
matter to us, and that is our lives, our children's
lives and their lives and their lives.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
All over the world.
Speaker 4 (54:07):
I'm glad you got on Live, you know, because you're
broadcasting on your station and a lot of people in
California probably didn't know anything about it. So I'm putting
it out there now.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
Well, thank you for spreading the word. Now everybody else
got the word to make sure y'all check out, Chuck.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Yes, I'm grateful to be able to push it out
there because they were pretty much attending us today. You know,
try to put it on social media, and I had
some issues trying to put loads of video. Uh, that's
probably why I want I was gonna share it with
you earlier. But my technical was on my on my
cell phone, wasn't seen in the beaches on the videos.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
Somebody will say, okay, well put it in the chat
once we get off the phone. Put it in the
chat so people can see whatever the information or the
image that you want folks to see, I will.
Speaker 4 (55:28):

All right, Well, thank you, Chuck, and thank you for
being part of a change and standing up for changing.
Speaker 4 (55:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
All right, all right, so there you got it. The
Black Summon is happening tonight on be et East coast,
on my east coast, woo ten o'clock Pacific, nine o'clock.
Check it out. I don't think we can not know enough.
And you know, just to somebody that's constantly getting moreversed
and knowing what going on, there are a lot of
people like me and you who may feel as though
(56:03):
you may be out of the looping things and the
thing that's so jarn and it's just like that's what
I want to make sure that my challenge is to
step up to me a voice even the voices. I'm
trying to amplify my own. But even speaking with another
executive director for an organization that is definitely prevalent in
our community right here in LA with creating jobs, say,
you know what they want to put me in front
(56:25):
of all these politicians. I don't know. I don't talk
how they do, I don't move how they do. But
at the end of the day, the moves that they
make affect you and your organization, and your organization is
impacting our community. So there is some way that we
got to bridge. We got to build a bridge. We
got to bridge the gap and connect the dots so
(56:47):
that when it comes down to our politics, when it
comes out to these bills, these laws, these legislation, it's
digestible for everyone to eat because at the end of
the day, it's affecting each and every one of us.
I don't know if Jay is still on, but I
want to give a shout out to Jay on YouTube.
I put the comment up. They said I can't join
(57:09):
at the moment, but I'm glad that I came across
your channel. I'll try to join in on your next
live and join your evening. I gotta make sure I
so listen and promote some more. We live at five
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Maybe it should be a five to six.
Maybe I'm gonna do a five to six. Keep it
cute or put it on mute. Now, I want to
welcome before I head out of here. Is there anyone
(57:29):
else that would like to call in? Is tonta Mantonta
Mantanta mantenness day. I don't know if you got something
on your heart, your mind, something you want to share.
Perhaps there isn't information. Is there something that you want
people to be abreast of. This is your opportunity right
now to call me. I'm in the studio eight one
eight four six one fifty four thirty two. Eight one
eight four six one fifty four thirty two. Can I
(57:55):
be transparent with y'all? Do we feel a little emotion
coming up? Maybe a little bit? Hey, cousin Wilma. You
know I'm always saying you can't fail if you don't quit.
And I am so grateful. I have been talking about,
(58:16):
probably for a good year and a half of how
to consistently get back in his studio, and I'm showing
up to bring you guys, content, to give you the
entertainment to elevate in so many ways, and I just
got to know that you're showing up and you're right
there with me, whether that's you sending me emails, making comments,
(58:41):
calling in. Yeah, I know this is my dream and
I'm going to continue to do it, but you know,
it really helps to have that support. So if you
know somebody that knows somebody else telling to pull up
on me bear before I leave out of here, did
you want to comment or call in that numbers eight one,
eight four, six, fifty four thirty two. I know you
(59:03):
may be at work, but I was just sharing with
the people because I was like, I don't know if
at one point, I'm like, do I just do it
one day a week now? Miss Latasha was the main one,
was like, non, we need to do it at five
and I know it is election season so things are
a bit hectic, but the couple lives. She hadn't been there,
and I'm just like, all right, we got to restrategize.
(59:23):
And it also makes me think of what I started
this episode with with Alah song, try again, cause you
got to pick yourself up and try again and try again,
cause you can't fail if you don't quit. If you
fall down seven times, get up eight and if you
can look up, you can get up. And sometimes the
(59:43):
encourage needs to be encouraged. And I know a lot
of people dealing with some things. A lot of depression
going on, a lot of confusion going on, a lot
of people sitting in this earth saying, Dawn, I don't
know what it is that I want to do. And
my thing is is just to do something. Find whatever
gets you excited, what gets you happy, and just keep
(01:00:04):
moving forward. And what you'll realize is that the things
they fall into place, they work out for you. Okay,
but you got to keep putting one foot in front
of the other. You're gonna have to do it scared.
You're gonna have to do it blindly, like I you know,
even as I'm in here, like I know what the
ultimate vision is. But if I'm just gonna go and
look at what I can visually see, well we're gonna
(01:00:25):
be stuck. So it's time to get unstuck, and it's
time to challenge yourself. I also want to give an update,
real fast, real quick. I have been telling you about
this organization called the African American Male Wellness Agency well
guess what. So the day is here, the time is now.
This Saturday, we have the Black Men's Wellness Day where
(01:00:48):
we're walking to save Black men's lives. This is happening
this Saturday, November two, at seven a m. We have
free health screenings. We're talking about blood pressure, glue clothes,
your sugar, hypertension. And now I don't think they can
do any prostetic exams, but I mean these types of
exams are gonna be absolutely free and it can help
(01:01:11):
save your life or perhaps somebody's life that you know.
So can you tell a brother to tell another or
tell a sister that says tell a brother? Go ahead.
If you watching this on your computer, whatever you see
the QR code, go ahead and scan that for more information.
Remember these are free health screens. There's gonna be music,
it's gonna be a KJLH entertainment stage. We're gonna have
a presentation stage where they're gonna do talk about black
(01:01:31):
mental health, where they're gonna talk about high blood pressure.
They're gonna talk about Parkinson's disease. Have you gotten your
eyes checked? People are making up so many excuses how
they didn't know different things were going on. Well, when
you got organizations that are pulling up, providing you resources,
providing you information that target it for people that look
just like you, why aren't you pulling up? It's happening
(01:01:54):
right around the way at the Michelle and Barack Obama
Sports Complex also known as Rancho Sienega Sports Complex, five
hundred and one Obama Boulevard. Y'all better pull up. Listen,

I need that Vitamin D multiple times a week. Thank you.
(01:03:01):
Miss Mina says, yes, me too, I need Vitamin D
two times a week. Like Bear said, the best outcome
for me came from taking chances. Scared it all. Oftentimes
