So just want to say salute to everybody that I
ran into yesterday. So yesterday I got a chance to
host Lincoln Tech's 80th anniversary celebration. Now Lincoln Tech is
a trade school. at trade school that they specialize in HVAC, automotive, welding, electronics.
(00:57):
And yesterday they had their 80th anniversary celebration. I got
a chance to talk to them and found out where
Lincoln Tech started. It was actually started from a military
vet but when he came back from serving world war
one there were no jobs for people that came out
the military so he started a school a trade school
to teach vets how to do electric how to do
hvac how to do welding how to do automotive so
(01:20):
when the vets came back from war they had jobs
and that's how lincoln tech was created so i got
a chance last night to uh host their 80th celebration.
So salute to Lincoln Tech and all that they're doing
out there with students and getting students in position to
have jobs, regardless of if AI is taking over or not.
There's certain jobs that AI just can't do. I want
to say salute to Tina and Scott and Steve and

Speaker 9 (04:25):
Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
largest injury law firm. So we start this hour with
President Trump officially back on the campaign trail for the midterms.
He is kicking off a 32 campaign sprint in the
red states as Republicans fight to hold on to their
majorities in Congress. Trump says he plans to campaign nearly
(04:45):
every day between now and Election Day. And a big
part of his message will be the economy as the
cost of living remains a major concern for voters heading
into November. As Trump headed for the plane, he was
leaving for Texas and Oklahoma. He pointed out. that he
says the economy is strong. Most people don't feel that,
(05:05):
but that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I give us an A-plus on the government, on economics,
on everything. Look at inflation. I inherited the worst inflation
in history under Biden. Worst in history, and now it's great.
It's really good. We've got it down, and oil is
going to come down very, very soon.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
I mean, it might be the economy might be booming
for him and his friends. I'm sure they're getting fat
in the White House.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
They're making some bread. It's like, what, 12 billionaires in
the White House?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They eating. But what about the regular everyday working class people?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
I'm glad that you.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
Said that because a new AP poll shows just 26
percent of Americans approve of how he's handling the economy.
That is a new low, especially for that poll. Just
26 percent of Americans approve on that on the economy poll.
And then specifically when it comes to the cost of living, living,
the number drops to just 17%. So seven, just 17%
(06:00):
of Americans say, you know, this economy is working for them.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
So, you know, it's, it's, those numbers are not good
that the.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
Majority are feeling, you know, they can't afford food, groceries, gas,
everything else. So, um, I don't know where he is, uh,
kind of getting those, those other numbers from, but, um,
Moving to the family of Renee Good, her family is
actually suing the federal government and several Trump administration officials
(06:28):
over her killing by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. So
Good was the 37-year-old mother of three when ICE agent
Jonathan Ross shot and killed her inside her car back
in January in Minneapolis. Her family, they've now filed the lawsuits,
and they are accusing the officials of excessive force and
violating her civil rights.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
They say that Goode wasn't under investigation.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
And ICE, you know, they weren't even looking for her.
Her family's attorney, they announced the lawsuits yesterday.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Let's listen.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
Today, we announced two historic federal lawsuits taking on the
Trump's administration unconstitutional acts during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
Thousands and thousands of agents were deployed. It ensnared an
inexcusable number of Goode and decent people, including Renee Goode.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
All that money not going to bring back their loved one,
but they deserve all that money.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Absolutely.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Yeah. The lawsuits, they're seeking damages in a jury trial
of Ross, who was that ICE agent.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
He has not been criminally charged.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
And the Trump administration, though, says these lawsuits are baseless
and they will fight them in court.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
So.
Speaker 12 (07:47):
There is that.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
But you guys, this morning, millions of Americans who get SNAP,
they're going to get a little bit more money for
groceries this month. The yearly increase kicked in on October 1st.
So about $ 30 more a month for a family of
four and about $ 10 more for one person. But on
the flip side of that, there are new work requirements.
Those are also kicking in. So adults without young children,
(08:09):
they now have to work at least 80 hours a
month to keep their benefits. And that rule now applies
to people who are up to age 64. So some
good and some bad news there with that.
Speaker 12 (08:22):
And lastly.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
If you have fallen.
Speaker 9 (08:24):
Behind on your federal student loans, there is a new
way to start getting out of default.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
The federal government, they've.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Launched a new online system to make the process easier.
So before, you had to call, you had to mail,
you even had to fax in your paperwork. Well, now
you can set up payments, upload your documents, and apply
to consolidate your loans, rehabilitate your loans all in one place.
You can just go to studentaid.gov and look for the
Defaulted Loan Support Center website. And this is very important
(08:51):
to deal with because, as we talked about before, those
default loans mean the government can take money from your
tax refunds.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
They can take money from your wages. They can garnish
your wages.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
So if you think that you are in default, just
go to that website, studentaid.gov, and look for that defaulted
loan support center. So that is your 6 a.m. front page,
sponsored by Morgan & Morgan. Injured, know your worth. Largest

at 7, there is a change to airport security that's
(09:23):
going to affect what you see the next time you fly.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
So we're going to talk about that next hour.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And everybody else, get it off your chest.
Speaker 13 (09:28):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 1 (09:29):

It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Good morning. It's a new day.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's time to get up and get something. Call up now.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 11 (09:52):
Good morning, Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's Blake. What's up, Blake?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
What are you calling from, Blake?
Speaker 11 (09:56):
I'm calling from Houston.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
H-Town. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Blake,
you voting? Yeah, I'm voting.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
All right, who you voting for in Texas?
Speaker 11 (10:02):
Tyler Rico.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 14 (10:04):
I'm confused.
Speaker 11 (10:05):
The lady was sentenced to death.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Didn't die.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
Now they got in the hospital trying to save her life.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't know if they're trying to save her life.
Speaker 15 (10:13):
Yeah, they said she's under life-saving medication.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, that don't make no sense. Yeah, that don't make
no sense. They tried to kill her.
Speaker 11 (10:19):
That don't make no sense.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I just thought she wouldn't die.
Speaker 16 (10:22):
Yeah, if they wasn't trying to save her, why bring
her to the hospital?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
But I guess you can't, quote unquote, suffer, I guess, because.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
they can be sued if she.
Speaker 16 (10:33):
Suffers I mean but you sent us to death I
mean what's worse than death.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I mean what's crazy I keep saying it it's just
not her time it's clearly not her time to go
or his phone hung up but yeah it's clearly not
her time to go like that's the thing that I
think people aren't paying attention to with this story even
if you're sending somebody to death it's not their time
to go it's not their time to go.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I think legally you can't have a painful death it
has to be a peaceful death I guess no such
thing you can't suffer that's legally.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I've been suffering for 25 years.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
As soon as you give me a date and tell
me this is the date I'm going to die, I'm
sure that you'll be in your head about it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Maybe you can get to some form of peace.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't know. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 17 (11:10):

Speaker 1 (18:19):
So salute to Val. Long time listening. We appreciate you, Val.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Val, let's talk.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
See, now I'm thinking about it, and I believe Richard,
but yesterday also was the first, too, man.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah. You got to be careful. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
The only thing with Richard is he just created it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
A month ago, which makes me kind of— And he
sounded very sincere.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
He did sound sincere.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I believe him.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 17 (18:38):
And when you asked the name, he knew the name
right off the bat.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Salute to Richard, but regardless. God rubbed you to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Sometimes you can give it to the wrong person and
God be like, why did you do that?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I did not tell you to do that. Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Get it off your chest.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
We got the latest one coming up.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
We do.
Speaker 17 (19:00):
Yesterday, the news broke.
Speaker 20 (19:01):
Rick Ross was arrested down in Miami Beach on domestic
violence charges. But he's saying he's innocent and he just
wants rigatoni pasta. So I've been talking to police down
in Miami and we are going to get into all
the exclusive details.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Does Miami only have one judge? That judge does everything.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
She goes viral.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I feel like she does everything.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
She did the lady on the cruise that we talked
about yesterday. Every time we talk about somebody in Miami, that.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Lady's the judge. I don't know.
Speaker 17 (19:27):
I doubt Miami just has one judge. He just ended
up there.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah, we will.
Speaker 1 (19:31):

If little brown girls look at you and go i

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

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Extra marinara. Yeah, he does. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Nobody describes food better than Rick Ross.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I would definitely go to ZZ Club of Gabon if
I was home. But I am going to North Carolina
Charlotte this weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh, you got to go to Club No Knife.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I am definitely going to No Knife. You got to
go to the baby's restaurant No Knife. I'm going to
No Knife. But since there's a homecoming out there, I
know it's going to be rampant.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I'm going to have to call. Sorry, I ain't waiting
in the line. I'm going to have to make a
phone call.
Speaker 17 (28:38):
We know you're bougie. You like skin.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, I got to go, but I got to try
that velvet. What was that?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Red velvet waffle.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Red velvet waffle with fried chicken wings. That banana pudding
waffle looks good, too.
Speaker 17 (28:48):
I am so hungry now.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Anyway, good morning, everybody. Let's get in some front page news.
Let's start with some quick sports and Thursday night football.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
The Browns beat the Steelers 27-24. Last night, the Aces
beat the Fever 94-83. Asia Wilson had 36 points.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Congratulations to the Aces.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Come on now.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Best women's basketball player on the planet. Dropped one of
the clues bombs for South Carolina's own Asia Wilson. Slew
to the good sister Raven Johnson, too, of the Indiana Fever, man.
They need to be playing Raven Johnson more. She got
a lot of playing time last night. But if y'all
had been doing that all season, y'all probably would have
been in a better position and wouldn't have had to play.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
The A's the first round.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Fever.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
And also a salute to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves
beat the Phillies last night, 6-2. What's up, Mimi?
Speaker 8 (29:30):
Good morning, guys. How y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Good. Good morning.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
largest injury law firm.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
So we start.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
This hour with new information in the Cornell sexual assault
case involving seven former fraternity members.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
So the state of New York is now.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Taking a fresh look at the case with Governor Kathy Hochul,
putting Attorney General Letitia James in charge of the investigation now.
This all stems from a former Cornell student says she
was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven men at a
fraternity house back in 2024. She says two of the
men drugged her and then sent a message to the
(30:09):
fraternity group offering offering access to her.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
No criminal charges were filed at the time.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
But the local DA says key information from the woman's
interview with campus police, it never made it to his office.
That includes telling investigators, quote, I can say with 100%
confidence I was raped.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Now, the local DA says he never saw that statement.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
In an interview with MS Now, he explained why he
said that information never made it to his office.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Let's listen to that exchange.
Speaker 22 (30:41):
I guess, respectfully, why should the people of your community
have confidence in you to handle this investigation when you
didn't even know such a critical statement from Jane Doe
as it related to this investigation in its first stages?
Speaker 21 (30:55):
We initially had to rely on the Cornell Police Department
to be thorough and provide us the information that they did.
And we reviewed that information. It appeared to be comprehensive.
It appeared to be very detailed and a full account
of what happened. I can't explain why additional information did
not make it to my office.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Yeah, so Governor Kathy Hochul says she no longer has
confidence in the local DA's ability to handle this case.
And putting AG Letitia James in charge will give her
office the power to investigate further.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
The evidence and send that evidence to a grand.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Jury if it warrants and bring criminal charges if the
evidence supports that.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
But that case I've been hearing, I feel like every
day there's some new information, right? There's this new Snapchat.
There's a new story. There's a new this. There's a
new that. I just hope that the truth comes out, right?
I hope if the girl did get raped and that's
what happened, what she said, I hope she gets her
peace and these gentlemen get arrested. But I just hope
that the truth comes out. Because it's just, I'm hearing
so many stories from different sides. And all of a sudden,
(32:00):
this Snapchat came out. The next thing I see. What
do you mean this Snapchat?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Like there's just so much information that's been coming out
with this case. That group chat that was a group
chat on Snapchat.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
Free P open access.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
That was on Snapchat.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, so some of those messages have leaked. It's just
very sad. And I pray that the facts come out
and justice is served.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I swear I hope.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
For sure, for sure. We will continue watching that.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
And switching gears here, so if you are a TSA
agent this morning, I really wonder how you feel about
this next story. So TSA is now telling officers at
airport security checkpoints that they can no longer sit while
checking IDs and boarding passes.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
They'll now be expected to stand while doing it.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
So TSA says the changes will help officers stay alert
and create a more professional experience for travelers. But the
union that represents TSA workers is pushing back. They say
that their officers spend so much time Standing and walking
around on hard floors and the chairs, they're not about comfort.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
They're about just basic.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Support for workers.
Speaker 9 (33:11):
The union that's making these, the union says that making
these changes without the.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Input of the officers is, you know, safety.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
And it's just basic decency to let people sit down
and not have them standing for eight hours on their
feet if they don't have.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yeah, I don't see the reason for TSA workers to
have to stand up when they're checking our IDs.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Like, what's the point? You know, I mean, those lines
be long as hell sometimes. That doesn't make no sense.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Why would you make them stand up like that? Yeah,
why would they have to stand up? They're not patting
you down. They're just checking your IDs. And a lot
of times, all you're doing is looking in the camera,
and they're clearing to see if you're good. Like, there's
no reason to have them standing for six, seven hours
a shift.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And what about older TSA workers or TSA workers of size? Okay,
they don't need to.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Be on TV.
Speaker 17 (33:54):
You always take it there. Lean on people alone.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
You know what's crazy? I don't see that many TSA workers.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
Thank you so much, government. Shutdown's not getting paid.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's what I'm saying, man.
Speaker 17 (34:05):
Thank you for bringing back the compassion, Mimi.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
No, I'm with them.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I don't see the reason. That makes no sense to me.
There's no reason to have them standing. And like you said,
their feet will be hurting. Because think about us.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
We're going through the line relatively fast, right?
Speaker 23 (34:18):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
But think about how long they're just there.
Speaker 20 (34:20):
But also the amount of people and the different personalities
they encounter. It's a lot working and travel and having
to deal with all of that. Like sitting down is
the least you can let them do when you got
to deal with all those people, all those attitudes. Everybody rushing.
Everybody want to be accommodated.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I don't see the point. If you want to keep
them alert.
Speaker 17 (34:36):
Why don't you?
Speaker 20 (34:37):
I think because sometimes when I'm in the TSA lines,
I hear them asking like when they can go on
their breaks and stuff. Why don't they figure out a
better behind-the-scenes system to rotate them out so that way
people aren't exhausted by the people interaction?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But how are they not alert? They're taking your license.
They're taking the identification. They're taking your ticket. They're alert.
Speaker 17 (34:55):
I would assume that it's like they feel like it
gets mundane. It's just like.
Speaker 20 (34:59):
okay let me take it boom okay go like where
they're just passing people through.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And ain't it's not like people sneaking by getting on
the plane.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Yes then you got to go to another security it
is stupid but everything going on in this world that's
what we're thinking about alone.
Speaker 9 (35:10):
Man yeah but you're right we got so much so
much happening this have not not letting them sit down
should be the least of our concerns right now.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Think about the tsa really quickly before.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
We go guys i just wanted to you know it's
homecoming season there are new rankings of hbcus out in
the country um.
Speaker 17 (35:27):
Say that again, Lauren, get to Dell state.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Go ahead. Yeah, we're going to get to Dell state,
but I'm going to do the top five. So coming
in at number five, y'all North Carolina, a and T right.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
That's, that's top five.
Speaker 9 (35:38):
More house is number four. Tuskegee is number three. Uh,
H U Howard is the second spot. And once again,
for the 20th year in a row, Spelman has been
ranked number, the number one HBCU in the country for.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
20 years straight.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
Um, Envy, if you're wondering where Hampton lies, it ties
for number six with BAMU.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Where's South Carolina State University?
Speaker 17 (36:01):
We're at Delaware State, you know.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
South Carolina, Char, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
But Claflin University.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
Is number 10. That's in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yes, Claflin.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
Yep, Delaware is 16.
Speaker 20 (36:18):
Well, we were on the Forbes HBCU ranking list. I
think we were number 10 there. I like that one better.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
Yeah so Delaware was 16 it fell from 11 from
last year so yeah but that's that that is the
latest rankings for this year uh according to U.S. News
and World Report so there you have it I need
to see where South Carolina state is I want to
say was in the.
Speaker 8 (36:41):
20s it's far down You said lower down?
Speaker 17 (36:47):
Yeah. Dell State.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
We might be there soon.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
We will.
Speaker 17 (36:52):
Dell State is Dell State.
Speaker 20 (36:53):
We were ranked number 10 top public HBCUs on Forbes
ranking this year.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
And I just want to let you know.
Speaker 17 (36:59):
Inaugural 2026 list.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Before we continue on, just so you know, the HBCU
that ranks amongst the return on investment, meaning the students
that actually get great jobs, and are able to pay
off their loans, number one is Hampton University.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
They have the highest.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
I need the source of that.
Speaker 12 (37:15):
I just sent you that.
Speaker 17 (37:16):
That's from their Facebook auntie. She picked that out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
The HBCU that gets the students the most amount of
money and return on investment is Hampton University. So all
those lists mean nothing if you're not getting a good
job and you're paying off these loans in 30 years.
Speaker 17 (37:30):
It's all love. It's all family.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Thank you, Mimi.

Speaker 13 (39:08):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
It's got a connotation, dog. I appreciate you not saying that.
You got to do what you got to do in Hollywood, Paul.
That was out of pocket. No, this was out of
my pocket. I am five years sober next month.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Congratulations, brother.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Thanks, dude. I was just one of those people who, like,
you give me pizza, I want seven slices. You give
me weed, I want to rip the bong. nine times
you give me alcohol I want to you know go
online shopping while drunk and then forget I bought concert
tickets I was I was you know that was me once.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You get to the point where you knew you had
to stop I was.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
At a strip club in the French Quarter in Nola
by myself. I was just throwing money away, and I
was thinking about suicide. I was drunk and high and lonely,
and I said, this got too dark.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
But a strip is that bad that you just... Man,
shut the f * * * up.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
What the hell is your problem?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
You're like, I didn't know white people had issues. It
was not, it was not fun. It was not like
make it rain. Yeah, no, this was like Charlie Brown,
the rain cloud falling. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
And you did it. How did you get out of that?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
That play?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I pivoted.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
I just like made some life choices. I stopped watching.
I stopped watching porn and I stopped drinking July of 2021.
And then like three months later, I was in one
of these, you know, meetings or whatever with all the dudes.
And I was like, I've been lying to y'all. I've
been getting high. I'm still high. Like I've been high
in meetings and I cried and broke down and I
(40:44):
was like, I'm going to start my day count over.
I'm going to start over. I'm getting rid of weed.
And so October 26th was my first day, like clean
of all the things. And I still got, we all
got issues and drama and problems, but like, at least
I can deal with them without having those million crutches,
which is what it was for me. And I don't
vilify a weed or alcohol. I think if you can
(41:06):
handle it, like, dude, Follow your bliss and enjoy Coachella.
But I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
I commend you because even being that honest to talk
about it is difficult because a lot of people don't
even have the honesty to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Men got to be more vulnerable. The fruits of the
spirit in the Bible are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control. And gentleness is something that dudes just are
not on yet.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
We're not even gentle with ourselves the way that we're
supposed to.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Give yourself grace.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Give yourself grace. Like we're too hard on ourselves. I
think so.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Absolutely true. Yeah, I did this talk show. It's called
the Boy Talk Talk Show. We got Blake Griffin, Becky Lynch,
Teddy Swims, Rob Roush, who won Traders. We got all
these amazing guests for the first eight episodes are dropping.
But it's kind of shining a light on toxic masculinity.
And one of the things with toxic masculinity is like,
dudes not feeling they... It's like when a dude hugs
(42:02):
another dude and they feel they gotta pat their back
or say no homo. It's like, dude, y'all need to
chill out, bro. Nobody thinks you're trying to unzip my
pants because we hugged or because you told me your feelings. Like,
calm down.
Speaker 24 (42:16):
And this room is total opposite of that.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Oh, it's good.
Speaker 24 (42:19):
Like, no, y'all always think that y'all is trying to
rear-end each other. Like, that's just what it is. You
come up behind him and.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
I purposely, I do a thing in every episode where
each male co-host, I always grab their inner thigh when
I agree with them. Like, yeah, man. Just to make
them feel uncomfortable. Just to make them feel uncomfortable. Dude,
it's so funny, though. It gets the best reaction. I
don't think, I don't know that I did.
Speaker 7 (42:50):
Hey, man. Hey, man.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
See, you told him, so this is different.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
But if you didn't tell him, you just grabbed his thigh.
Speaker 7 (42:58):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
I wish you would have did it.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
I wish you would have did it.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
No, I want to be brought back. I want to
come back. I want you all to have me again.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Oh, he would love you, man.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
He would invite you.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
But Chuck Liddell, the UFC fighter, I don't know that
I touched his thigh, but I definitely, I think at
one point we like high five and I interlink my
fingers with him like a marital couple.
Speaker 13 (43:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
But just making people uncomfortable, that kind of between two
ferns thing with Zach Galifianakis, I love that stuff.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Me too.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
I like a good, just put a little good joke.
Just place it.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Hysterical.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Just nice in there somewhere in the conversation.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
That's me, man. I'm the same guy, you know, quoting
the book of Ephesians, but also making 40 jokes a day.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
We go far. You know the turnstile when you leave,
the glass doors? I'll jump in it behind him. It'll
be the same one going.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Around and around. I do that all the time, dude. Yeah,
just goofing, man. I do that all the time. Just goofing, bro.
I love elevators, man. I'm always trying to make people
uncomfortable in the elevator. I'll just be like, how's everybody
doing today? I'm just doing a wellness check. How are you?
I'll make them look up from their phones. I love
stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
I know there's a lot of married men who are
completely favorable to their wives, right?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Like we are.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
They end up flirting with each other. It's just a
primal instinct. They got to flirt with somebody.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
You know, it's just it's fun. It's funny. But but yeah, no,
I think. And once again, a lot of people get
really pissed off. They're like, we talk about toxic masculinity.
Men are supposed to. It's like, dude, femininity, masculinity. These
are good things. I'm putting an adjective on it because
I'm calling out. the nature with which it becomes wayward
or perverse. These dudes like Patrick Bet-David who are like,
(44:28):
money is the greatest thing in the world. Dudes like
Andrew Tate. It's like you're sending messaging out to young
men to tell them that if you're an entrepreneur at
19 and you have a bunch of followers and you're
putting videos out of you at a nightclub, you're cool.
It's like, it's not cool, bro. You might think it's cool,
but that's perception. Reality is... you are probably very scared
(44:52):
and you are probably very insecure.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I agree with you, but you avoided the question.
Speaker 5 (44:59):
Do you think married men who are faithful flirt with
other men just because you flirt with men?
Speaker 3 (45:04):
I flirt with everybody. No, no, no. Maybe not children,
but yeah. Not on that. Not on that.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
I saw you, you wore the coordinates to Jeffrey Epstein's
old ranch.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Zorro Ranch.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
To the Resident Evil premiere.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Why?
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I'm just trying to stir the pot, bro. My heroes
are people like Kendrick Lamar and Cat Williams. I like
truth tellers. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying they're perfect.
Cat's on some other.
Sometimes where I'm not sure I fully buy the narrative.
I like pointing out like, hey, give this a Google search.
(45:41):
Do your own research, as they say. I heard a
church bought that Zorro ranch.
Speaker 7 (45:47):
Really?
Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah, that's sketchy, bro. The Catholic Church?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Shut up, man.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Don't even have to be Catholic. Let's call it what
it is. Some people are doing some awful things in
the name of Jesus, and they're going to get it
the worst when the game is over, bro.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
No, you're right.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
They're going to get it the worst.
Speaker 5 (46:05):
We had that conversation the other day, because we were
talking about, you know, our guy D1 was up here,
and he was saying how, he was talking about rappers,
and they promote negative things in their music, because he
feels like, You know, those are the ones that are
probably in line for hell first. But then, you know,
Lauren LaRosa was like, well, what about the pastors who
are preaching the word of God all the time, but
they're not living that life.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Absolutely. And, you know, God's love and grace is abundant, bro. Like,
you don't have to be perfect, but I think there's
a difference between evil people and sinners. I think we're
all sinners, but I think there's some evil people who
are just sinners. strategically hurting people their entire life.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
I completely agree with that. I never thought about that.
There's a difference between evil and like, and we all sin, right?
Speaker 3 (46:47):
We all, but I'm, I'm committed to evil. I'm a,
I'm a free man surrounded by slave Masons, bro. I'm,
I'm okay being way less famous, a way less powerful. If, uh,
I don't got those, uh, Chains on me.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
You said you're happy having way less money and being
way less famous. Paul, you have an Emmy. You have
a Golden Globe.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
Got a hot.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
You've been in Marvel movies.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Jesus, Love and Wife and Three Dope Kids.
Speaker 12 (47:10):
I like the way Paul says it.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
You're doing very, very, very well.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Some may say you're in the Illuminati.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Illuminati. That's a cute word. Freemasons run the world. That's
what's going on. And, uh, your votes don't count. And your, uh,
your opinion is cute. Uh, that's why you gotta, you
gotta get down with God and you gotta have community
and you gotta take care of each other. Cause the,
the world is, um, one big puppetry thing. And, uh,
they're trying to distract you.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
You don't think votes count even after what we've seen
right now?
Speaker 3 (47:41):
I don't think so. I'm still riding for people. Like I'm,
I'm still making fun of Ken Paxton on the Today
Show earlier and giving love to James Tallarico. I'll still
vote and ride for people, but I also think there's
a ceiling. It is constructed so that there are boundaries
and a ceiling with how much change can actually be made.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, you think everything that's happening right now is by design?
Speaker 1 (48:06):
To some degree.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
Not everything. And, you know, we can kind of... decode
or break the matrix a little bit with how, how
we roll. And, uh, we've seen that with, you know, MLK,
we've seen that with, uh, uh, hashtag me too. Like
there've been things where like we saw actual change and
it was like, hell yeah. So, so I don't mean
to say that you are not powerful. You watching like
(48:28):
you are, you're more powerful than you know, but just
know the game you're playing. The, uh, the game is rigged,
but the God is real.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
I was asking what got you into wrestling? Why'd you
jump back into wrestling?
Speaker 3 (48:37):
I love wrestling. I just never fell out of love
with it. I think it's so fun.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
What did your wife say when you said, Dave, I
want to wrestle?
Speaker 3 (48:43):
She's not a fan.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
Not a fan. And I'm limping around. I had an
easy match like four days ago in Charleston, South Carolina. Simple,
simple match. Oh, for real? Yeah, it was nice. I
really liked it the short time I was there. And
I had a match. against this guy he's um he's
part of like the male cheer squad for the savannah
bananas you all know about that yes speaking of yeah
(49:05):
speaking of things that would make some tight dude be
like no no homo but this guy cody fluffman had
a great like five minute match with him and i
just i can barely walk i don't know what happened
to my hip i think it's the gluteus me the
muscle from the top of your ass to the side
of your thigh. I can barely walk without taking 1,200
(49:27):
milligrams of Advil. Damn.
Speaker 7 (49:29):
Why?
Speaker 5 (49:29):
What did he do to your ass?
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Nothing. Nothing happened, man.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
What's wrong with you, man?
Speaker 3 (49:38):
As Cat Williams said, I got a virgin booty. I'm good.
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (49:42):
So is it the adrenaline rush? Is that what wrestling
gives you that acting doesn't?
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Adrenaline rush and just instant gratification. You know, I did
stand-up comedy for a number of years, and there's something
great about getting that immediate response. Same with cooking, though, too.
It's like people are eating that thing once it's cooled off.
Speaker 7 (49:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
And there's something nice to that.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Paul hasn't been hitting on me like crazy.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Oh, really? Oh, damn.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
No, I got a couple more minutes. Oh, perfect.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
And you're playing Mick Foley, I saw, in a limited series.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah, I'm attached to playing Mick Foley in a limited
series about the life of that wrestler and what he
went through. between wcw and wwe trying to find his
way and find his voice and um he ended up
going to japan having these crazy like death matches they're
called with um c4 explosives and barbed wire and stuff
him and this dude terry funk just beat the out
(50:31):
of each other and so we're we're telling that story
um and we're just trying to assemble the team to
pitch it no i was.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
Gonna say man you know Playing that character could probably
take you to a dark place, but I feel like
you've already kind of been there.
Speaker 3 (50:45):
Yeah. Yeah. I played a serial killer for an Apple show.
That was darkest.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
I'm not talking about the character you play.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
Oh, me. Yeah. No, straight up.
Speaker 7 (50:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
I was in a dark place when I shot that.
Speaker 13 (50:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, lately I've been in a much lighter place. It's
a nice place to be.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
What does your wife understand about you that Hollywood never will?
Speaker 3 (51:03):
Wow, that's a really good question. I wish I had
an immediate good answer for a question that thoughtful. I
think my wife understands what a teddy bear I am.
Some people, you know, like to a dude's point, what
was the dude, Deontay, who was on before me? Yeah,
he seemed like a cool guy. If I say something
about the Palestinian conflict or I say something about, like
(51:24):
I have a Letterboxd account where I review movies I've
seen and stuff. it got way too much attention because
I didn't give five stars out of five stars to
some of my own movies. But like, I'm always telling,
I'm telling the truth. Like y'all can get mad and
people do, but at the end of the day, I
am a teddy bear and I'm telling the truth. And
I think my wife knows that. Whereas I think public
perception can get very caught up, kind of the sin
(51:47):
of not being congruent with someone else's mindset. Everybody goes crazy.
Speaker 5 (51:51):
I mean, you seem very comfortable being the guy who
stirs up. Is that courage or you just, you just
sometimes enjoy, enjoy the fight.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Well, Kat said too, he's like, I stirred up the
hornet's nest or bee's nest. And then he was like,
I got stung enough times that I backed off. So like,
I haven't been stung yet, but I'm sure when I do,
maybe I'll get a little quieter. But at the end
of the day, I don't fear men. I don't fear
tech companies. I fear God. And so I don't want
(52:21):
to be a whistleblower because whistleblowers get killed, but I
want to be a truth teller. And love people. I
got God, so I don't need to worry about somebody
taking me out or trying to take me off a platform.
I got God, dude.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Did you always feel like that? Or when you were
dealing with sobriety, you started seeing it?
Speaker 3 (52:38):
Nah, more of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Put you in a different light.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
Because before that, it was like, oh, I got to
talk to Brad Pitt at the BAFTA tea party. It's like, dude,
what you learn is the people that ride with you,
ride with you. You have your crew. And everything else
is just noise, basically.
Speaker 13 (52:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Um, but you know, we chase and, and we, you know,
real currency is a chosen pace. When you choose, when
you choose how you are going to walk and live
and you believe God's got you, you don't have to
run after stuff. All the good stuff in my life
from my wife to, uh, some of my really cool
roles I've gotten to do it. It all fell into
(53:16):
the lap. They give actors too much credit, man. We
are just recipients of grace and gifts. A lot of
times where I'll just wake up on a Monday and,
My business manager is like, you got to make some money.
And then a week later on a Tuesday, I got
an offer in my email from somebody I respect.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
And I said, oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 7 (53:33):
Sick.
Speaker 5 (53:34):
What was my last question what's something about Hollywood you
understand now that would have disappointed you when you were
trying to get.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
In something I understand now about Hollywood that would have
disappointed me when I got into it would be it's
never enough you can win the Emmy you still want
the Oscar you can make a million dollars you still
want three million all that stuff that never goes away
but at the end of the day I'm starting to
make peace with the idea that like it's okay that
I'm not Michael B. Jordan it's okay that I'm not
(54:01):
Austin Butler I may never be the dude, you know,
on the post or whatever. But that's not my calling.
My calling is to love people, to take care of
my family, and to entertain you and try to treat
you well. So at the end of the day, that
has to take precedence, which I'm trying to get there.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (54:19):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
It's crazy because you seem, you're so successful.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
Thanks, man. Yeah, I also just want to, I just
want to do a good job. I want to be
the guy, like, there's certain actors and actresses, like, I'm
trying to think of names, like Peter Sarsgaard, who's a
New Yorker, I think. He's not the most famous dude
in the world. He's not making the most money, but
he's always good. Every time you see him, it's like,
thank God this dude showed up. And I just want
to be that guy at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
Well, we appreciate you for joining us this morning.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
So sad that you got to leave so early. You
got to come back if you're in town.
Speaker 3 (54:49):
This is a treat, man. I've been watching y'all for
a long time, and sharing space with you is not
lost on me. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
No, thank you.
Speaker 3 (54:57):
Thank you. Appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
Congratulations on all your success. It's Paul Walter Hauser. It's
The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 5 (55:02):
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. Jess is out today,
but Lauren LaRosa is in, and it's time for the
latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Speaker 1 (55:11):
Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets them from somebody
that knows somebody. She gets the details.
Speaker 17 (55:18):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
She be having the latest on you.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 5 (55:26):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (55:29):
What was the latest? Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
On The Breakfast Club. Hi, y'all.
Speaker 20 (55:36):
So let's get into this Halle Berry story. This story
was everywhere yesterday. Halle Berry's ex, Oliver Martinez, was granted
a temporary restraining order against her after he alleged that
she was abusing their 12 year.
Speaker 17 (55:50):
Old son that they share.
Speaker 20 (55:52):
So he alleged that Halle Berry physically abused their son.
Speaker 17 (55:56):
I'm not for sure if I'm saying his name correctly. Masio.
Speaker 20 (56:00):
Now, the allegations are that she Halle Berry jumped on
the baby boy. She put her hands around his neck
and choked him last Saturday. Now, her ex is claiming
that their son called him and claimed that Halle had
physically attacked him and put him in a choke code.
He says that. It's not an isolated incident. And there
have been previous attacks is what he calls them. He
(56:22):
also continues on and says that Hallie has threatened to
have him deported to France and ask their son. What
was their son going to do as a black man
to protect him, to protect her from being robbed by Oliver,
who was his dad?
Speaker 1 (56:35):
Her son black.
Speaker 17 (56:37):
I mean, he's mixed.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
It's mixed.
Speaker 12 (56:38):
Holly's black.
Speaker 17 (56:39):
The dad is African-American.
Speaker 3 (56:40):
Yes.
Speaker 20 (56:41):
So she basically asks the son, what you going to
do when and if your daddy try to rob me?
And then the son alleges that she called his dad
a white B word.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
Bitch ass.
Speaker 17 (56:51):
A white bitch.
Speaker 9 (56:52):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
White bigot would have hit harder. Call your daddy a bigot?
Speaker 1 (56:56):
That's crazy.
Speaker 20 (56:58):
The filing also mentions that there was one time when
the 12-year-old son was home with Holly Berry and her man.
Speaker 17 (57:06):
Ben Hunt.
Speaker 20 (57:06):
And they were playing the VR video game with like
the goggles in his bedroom. And he says that Holly
Berry walked in and she was upset. And she said
that he looked stupid and looked like an idiot, allegedly,
for playing the game. Then the situation escalated from there when.
The situation escalated from there because her ex-boyfriend claims that
(57:27):
Hallie then jumped on their 12 year old son and
started physically fighting him. And he says that she grabbed
him by the neck and started choking him and was shouting, well,
who's dominant now? So, yeah, this order that they had
makes it where she's going to be able to see
their son. But it has to be like a range
visitation until they go to court. On October 16th.
Speaker 1 (57:47):
Let me tell you, right?
Speaker 4 (57:48):
And I don't know what happened, but it sounds like
to me the 12-year-old was feeling himself. And a black
mom did what a black mom does. My mom has
done it to me. My grandmother has done it to me.
I seen Gia yoke up Logan.
Speaker 2 (57:59):
One difference.
Speaker 1 (58:01):
Black mom did it to a— well, you're not black either.
Speaker 2 (58:03):
I am black.
Speaker 5 (58:03):
I'm about to say black mom did it to a
white child. But a black mom doing that to a
white child is never going to play well in America.
Speaker 7 (58:09):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
But that's still her son.
Speaker 4 (58:11):
And sometimes, you know, a 12-year-old get a little froggy
feeling himself. And sometimes your mother got to put some
hands on you to straighten you out. Yeah, I was born—
I seen Gia do it to Logan. My mama did
it to me. My grandmother did it to me. And
I don't even know how my grandmother had.
Speaker 1 (58:23):
That much strength.
Speaker 5 (58:23):
Yeah, I was born in 1978, and I'll be the
first to tell you that my mother would be in
the news.
Speaker 13 (58:29):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (58:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Mary Ellen grabbed my ass right up. That's grandma. And
had no problem doing it. And said, go tell your
father I did it.
Speaker 17 (58:35):
Your grandmother's name is Mary Ellen?
Speaker 3 (58:36):
Mary Ellen.
Speaker 20 (58:37):
My grandmother's real name, she changed it, but it was
Mary Alice.
Speaker 1 (58:40):
Mary Ellen.
Speaker 7 (58:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (58:41):
Wow okay well there's also some text messages that were
included in his documents and and one of them is
pretty disturbing because the ex uh her child's father texts
holly berry and he's like look he just asked me
to come and pick him up right now are you
okay with that she says no i'm not okay with
it he wants to fight his mother question mark what
kind of kids are we raising as a father asking
what kind of kid is he i'm his mother and
(59:01):
then uh the child's father responds well i don't know
what's happening here what i know is is that you
fight with him way too much then it gets so
crazy then it it says that he's asking her if
she wants to keep their son at her place, even
if he doesn't want to stay. And she's like, yo,
this is wrong. I'm his mother. He has no respect
for me. This should not be okay with you as
his father. This should be a problem.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
If they lived together, she would have said, wait until
your daddy get home. Do you say.
Speaker 17 (59:27):
That about non-black dads? I mean, I haven't experienced that
either way.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
But, yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1 (59:32):
You're right. I don't know.
Speaker 17 (59:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (59:34):
Wait until your dad gets home. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (59:37):
We're going to be playing a VR game together. That
was my problem now.
Speaker 17 (59:41):
That's why my mom had to put me out.
Speaker 1 (59:42):
We're going to be playing a VR game. When it
comes over, we're going to be playing together again.
Speaker 17 (59:44):
That's why my mom had to put me out.
Speaker 2 (59:46):
F-U-N-T-E-N!
Speaker 20 (59:47):
Yeah, well, we'll be following this case because Halle Berry
is pushing back on this and claiming that this is insanity,
that this is going way too far.
Speaker 17 (59:56):
So we'll be following it.
Speaker 1 (59:57):
That's a good question. That's a good study.
Speaker 4 (59:58):
Why are more white parents more lenient than black parents
when it comes to that?
Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
I don't know if they are. We don't know. I've
never been raised by a white parent.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
No, but when I'm out and about, the way sometimes
I hear white kids talk to their parents, like crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Like, I'll be at the game. I'll be at the
soccer game. F you, mom. Shut up, mom. I'll be like, whoa.
You know what's okay?
Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I think about all the times that I got popped
in public. I got backhanded in public, beaten in public. Like,
back then, in our era, it was completely different. You
was raised in the 80s, 90s. It was completely different.
Speaker 20 (01:00:30):
I got beatens, but I feel like my mom didn't
beat us enough, to be honest with y'all.
Speaker 17 (01:00:34):
Now that I hear from other people and what y'all
went through.
Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Oh, now I got weights.
Speaker 17 (01:00:36):
No, especially what I think.
Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
And then think about the psychological torture when your parents
tell you to go pick a switch.
Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
I never had to pick a switch.
Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
And you got to go outside and look at the
tree and pick something that's suitable to whip your ass.
Speaker 23 (01:00:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Because if you didn't come back with the proper switch,
then they was going to go get it. Nah.
Speaker 17 (01:00:54):
You know what gets crazy when you're crying hard? And
she's like, keep crying. I'm going to give you something
to cry about.
Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
I'm already crying.
Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
I hate that.
Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
I'm going to give you something to cry about.
Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
I don't want to cry.
Speaker 20 (01:01:03):
And she really would give you something else to cry about?
Speaker 17 (01:01:06):
Yo, all right, wow.
Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Sometimes I remember being young and wishing, why can't I
just get grounded like white kids?
Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
See?
Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Go to your room.
Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Why can't I just go to my room?
Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
I'm going to my room.
Speaker 17 (01:01:18):
She coming after me.
Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
She coming in that room.
Speaker 17 (01:01:21):
All right, y'all. Real quick before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
One last thing.
Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Do you ever slam the door on your parents? Oh,
I have. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 11 (01:01:26):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
You slam the door.
Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 17 (01:01:28):
I'm telling you, my mom had to put me out.
My mom put me out when I was younger. You
deserve it.
Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 17 (01:01:33):
I'm telling you, I deserve to be beat a little
bit more.
Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
You slam the door one time by accident.
Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
You don't close no door in my mama trailer. My
mom took the door off the hinges before.
Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
I locked it.
Speaker 17 (01:01:43):
She took my door off. I didn't have a door
for like three months.
Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
Yeah, that's something I would do. I would definitely take
the door off the hinges. I would take the lights out,
the light bulb. If they didn't turn off the lights,
I'd take all the light bulbs out.
Speaker 18 (01:01:52):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Y'all ain't get beat enough then.
Speaker 9 (01:01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
You never get beat with an extension cord and then
they make you go take a bath. You wouldn't try
no stupid stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
That is abuse, sir.
Speaker 17 (01:01:59):
Extinction cord is crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
That is abuse.
Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
No, it was called being raised in the 1900s.
Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
That is abuse. That reminds me of Penny from Good Times.
You got abused abuse.
Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
I tell my 11-year-old dad all the time, you lucky
you wasn't born in the 90s. If you was raised
in the 1900s, boy.
Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Boy, I oughta.
Speaker 7 (01:02:12):

Yo, it's DJ Walt.
Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
What's up, sir? How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Yo, man.
Speaker 15 (01:03:20):
I'm good, fam. I'm good, fam. Yo, I've been an
avid listener to you guys since I was back in
Delaware a couple years, way back in 2013, 14. But look,
here's the thing, fam. DJ Envy, you got to come
to the front of the congregation, bro.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
But I do.
Speaker 15 (01:03:36):
You got to get this e-hall because you can't be
saying get your ass up against a Kirk Franklin, dog. Like,
come on, man.
Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
I said wake your ass up. But, I mean, Kirk Franklin,
it's a gospel.
Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
It's a good song.
Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
But I still said wake your ass up.
Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
It is, man.
Speaker 15 (01:03:49):
But you can't say get your ass up, man.
Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
I said wake your ass up.
Speaker 15 (01:03:52):
Come on, man. Don't give me none of that beige, Ray.
And then second of all, I got another keyhole for y'all.
Where is the Goon Tunes, man? Y'all got to do
it once a year.
Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
We ain't did Goon Tunes in years.
Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (01:04:04):
Come on, man.
Speaker 15 (01:04:05):
We got to do it one time for the new listeners.
Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
We used to sing the Friday song.
Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
We used to sing Katy Perry last Friday night and
Rebecca Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
I was thinking about that the other day, though. If
we were to do Goon Tunes.
Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
Now, I would change it.
Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
I would change it.
Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
You know what song it would be?
Speaker 17 (01:04:20):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 15 (01:04:21):
What it be?
Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
Dolly Parton, 9 to 5. For all the working class people.
Speaker 15 (01:04:25):
Run that today, man. Just give them something, man. Give
them something, man. Let your folks know what it.
Speaker 18 (01:04:30):
Is, yo.
Speaker 15 (01:04:31):
This is old school breakfast club right here.
Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Okay. We appreciate that, brother. All right, man.
Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Shout out.
Speaker 15 (01:04:36):

Peace. Peace. How are you?
Speaker 17 (01:04:44):
I'm blessed.
Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Who you want to get the biggest hee-haw to?
Speaker 19 (01:04:47):
I'm giving the donkey to all of these parents who
is not teaching their kids proper hygiene and sending them
to school stink.
Speaker 21 (01:04:53):
Damn.
Speaker 19 (01:04:54):
Teach them how to wash their unarmed stink. Teach them
how to brush their teeth and take them.
Speaker 17 (01:04:58):
To the dentist.
Speaker 19 (01:04:59):
They brush stink. So the more the parents with special
needs kids that send their kids to school unkempt.
Speaker 7 (01:05:07):
You get all the donkeys.
Speaker 15 (01:05:08):
Okay?
Speaker 19 (01:05:08):
Because why your child got the whole dinkle berry forest
in his donkey?
Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
Damn.
Speaker 9 (01:05:12):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
God damn.
Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Now, listen, are we factoring in poverty in this situation?
Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
A lot of people.
Speaker 19 (01:05:17):
That don't mean nothing because I've poured water to take
a hot shower before.
Speaker 8 (01:05:21):
So I don't want to hear none of that.
Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Hey, where you calling from?
Speaker 8 (01:05:26):
South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
I heard you. I can hear the Geechee in your voice.
Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
You calling from the Lowcountry. What part of the Lowcountry?
Speaker 17 (01:05:31):
Goose Creek.
Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Goose Creek.
Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Okay, salute to the 843.
Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
They got bunkies in Goose Creek.
Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Boy, shut up.
Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
We invented bunkies. Wait, okay, what are you talking about?
What the hell is he talking about? What school you
teach at? What school you teach at?
Speaker 14 (01:05:43):
You know what?
Speaker 19 (01:05:44):
I don't want to go into all of that because
I talk about these churns.
Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Yeah, I understand. I understand.
Speaker 7 (01:05:49):
I understand.
Speaker 19 (01:05:49):
Just make sure you make sure your churn is washed
up and they got on deodorant and you're taking them
to the dentist and make sure your child get a
proper haircut and you brush them in here because the
foster flakes up top ain't good either.
Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
I will say, though, that is true, man.
Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
You know, growing up in South Carolina, even if we
didn't have much money, boy, you still had to be clean.
Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
You can't be stinking.
Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Now, you can't embarrass your parents and go nowhere stinking.
Speaker 19 (01:06:11):
You make more choice to hire the whole fashion.
Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Show You see what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
Walking in that school smelling like nanny.
Speaker 14 (01:06:17):
No bueno.
Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Have a good day. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Who's this?
Speaker 14 (01:06:26):
Hi, this is Alicia.
Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Hey, who you want to give the biggest seahawk to?
Speaker 14 (01:06:30):
I want to give the biggest seahawk to these politicians
because they all acting up.
Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Which ones? Federal politicians, local level, who?
Speaker 14 (01:06:38):
Well, I can't trust none of them. So who do
you vote for? They're all talking about stuff.
Speaker 18 (01:06:44):
That they're not coming through with their promises. They're promising stuff.
They're just not doing what they.
Speaker 17 (01:06:49):
Say they're doing.
Speaker 14 (01:06:50):
So how do you trust them?
Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Well, this is what I would tell people going into
the midterms.
Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
You know, I would I would go out there and
treat it like business. And what I'm looking for in
my business is I want to vote for somebody who
is talking about affordability. I want to vote for somebody
who's talking about protecting democracy. And I want to vote
for somebody who's talking about keeping us safe.
Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
It's really simple for me.
Speaker 8 (01:07:14):
OK, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
That makes sense.
Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
I've heard it through the years.
Speaker 18 (01:07:21):
That's probably why a lot of people don't vote. I
know that's why my son doesn't vote.
Speaker 14 (01:07:26):
Because it's like they say all these things.
Speaker 15 (01:07:29):
You go in, you vote, you do what you're supposed to.
Speaker 14 (01:07:33):
But then at the end of the day, once they
get there, nothing happens.
Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Well, things do happen.
Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
I mean, I mean, I think we're, we're realizing right
now how much elections have consequences, right? Like, you know,
you think things can't get worse, but they absolutely can.
So I know that, you know, you don't want to
vote for somebody that's going to keep the status quo,
but right now I'll take that status quo over authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
I agree.
Speaker 15 (01:07:54):
I agree.
Speaker 7 (01:07:55):
That's true.
Speaker 18 (01:07:56):
I mean, I grew up in, uh, partly in Jamaica, uh,
in Jamaica, they're very corrupt.
Speaker 14 (01:08:03):
Uh, My parents took me away from in the 80s.
It seems like that's what's happening here.
Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Oh, no, not seems.
Speaker 5 (01:08:11):
The levels of corruption from the Trump administration are unheard
of right now. So, like I said, man, you know,
you don't have to fall in love with none of
these elected officials, but just listen to what they're talking about.
The ones that are talking about affordability, the ones that
are talking about protecting democracy, keeping us safe, that's who
I'm voting for.
Speaker 18 (01:08:28):
But then mental illness is.
Speaker 11 (01:08:32):
On the rise.
Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
That is very true. But to me, that's all part of,
you know, the financial conversation. Like, who is going to
make sure we have resources going to our communities?
Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Like, before things like mental health.
Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (01:08:46):
I mean, I created an app. I talked to you
about it the other day.
Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (01:08:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 14 (01:08:50):
I mean, right now, I'm doing volunteer work in this
place that.
Speaker 18 (01:08:54):
Is a tiny community for the homeless people.
Speaker 14 (01:08:58):
And to qualify, you just have to.
Speaker 18 (01:09:00):
be on the streets for more than a year here
in Austin, Texas, and have some kind of disability.
Speaker 14 (01:09:06):
And you get a free house for life.
Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Damn.
Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
What kind of disability? I can just start limping?
Speaker 14 (01:09:12):
Any kind of disability.
Speaker 18 (01:09:13):
As long as you get in a check, you get
a free tiny home, and they build it for you.
Speaker 14 (01:09:18):
I know I'm giving them.
Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
You ain't saying tiny home.
Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
You said house.
Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Now you're saying tiny home.
Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Right.
Speaker 14 (01:09:25):
But it's a home for these people that are on
the street.
Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
That is true. Where is this at?
Speaker 14 (01:09:29):
This is in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Austin, Texas. I'm looking that up right now. Yeah. I mean.
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:36):
Now it says in Austin, there's no completely free tiny
home program for people with disabilities, but they do have
low cost and subsidized options that exist for individuals who
are chronically homeless.
Speaker 13 (01:09:46):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Who's this? Hey, what's up, man?
Speaker 11 (01:09:48):
It's Hassan.
Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Hassan.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Who you want to get the biggest hee-haw to, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
You.
Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
What'd I do?
Speaker 16 (01:09:53):
All right, so y'all had a topic about Diddy when
y'all was talking about him getting caught with contraband and
stuff like that. And you kept saying, oh, this is
going to affect his appeal. This is going to affect
his appeal.
Speaker 15 (01:10:06):
And I'm sitting there.
Speaker 11 (01:10:07):
I'm like, man, I wish I could call.
Speaker 16 (01:10:09):
In and tell him that he wrong for saying that
because it won't affect his appeal.
Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
He in a.
Speaker 11 (01:10:16):
Federal prison.
Speaker 16 (01:10:18):
So the judge is ruling on what happened in his trial,
not what's happening inside of the prison. The judge is
ruling on if anything that happened in his trial can
cause him to have a new trial.
Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
She don't care or.
Speaker 16 (01:10:33):
He don't care about if Diddy got Hennessy or caught
with a cell phone in jail. So that won't affect
his appeal at all.
Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
I just wanted to call in. That's why I said I.
Speaker 11 (01:10:43):
Wanted to call in.
Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Get it off your chest, not donkey. I'm glad that
you believe in the judicial system in that way.
Speaker 16 (01:10:51):
Well, no, it's not that I believe in the judicial
system that way. I'm just saying I know I've been
through it. So I'm just saying, like, the judge is
ruling on what happened in the trial. The judge, they
can't rule on what's going on inside the judge. Now,
let me give you a scenario. If Diddy was going up,
if he was going up for parole to be released,
(01:11:14):
that can affect him being released from the prison, like
his release date, you know what I'm saying? But the
appeal has nothing to do with what's going on inside
of The prison, the appeal.
Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Has to do with what happened in his trial.
Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
That's all the appeal has to do with.
Speaker 5 (01:11:31):
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think the better
conversation is it shouldn't have anything to do with his appeal.
But trust me, it will. You know what I'm saying?
All right, bro.
Speaker 15 (01:11:42):
I hear what you're saying, right?
Speaker 16 (01:11:44):
But I'm just telling you, I've been through it.
Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
I know it.
Speaker 16 (01:11:46):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Like, that's not going to affect his appeal, brother.
Speaker 16 (01:11:49):
I just want, I just, trust me.
Speaker 7 (01:11:51):
I know.
Speaker 5 (01:11:52):
I don't trust the judicial system to do the right thing,
but I hear you.
Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
All right now.
Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Yes, sir. All right now.
Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
God damn. How you turn, what?
Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
That's the People's Donkey. We do that every Friday, 1-800-585-1051.
Speaker 5 (01:12:04):
You can call up and give somebody the credit they
deserve for being stupid.
Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Now, when we come back, who we got?
Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
Arian Simone will be joining us from the Fearless Fund.
We're going to talk to her next. She has a
new book that comes out October 6th.
Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
It's called Fearless Freedom. And we're going to talk to
her in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose is here as well. We
got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Yes, indeed.
Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
She's the co-founder of the Fearless Fund, Arian Simone. Welcome back.
Speaker 17 (01:12:32):
Aw, thank you.
Speaker 12 (01:12:33):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
How are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 17 (01:12:35):
I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good.
Speaker 12 (01:12:37):
You look good.
Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Beautiful.
Speaker 11 (01:12:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
I spent half my time on the continent of Africa,
and I spend other time here now.
Speaker 17 (01:12:45):
And America is in a very interesting place.
Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
So you're ready to go back?
Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
You're ready to go back. So for people that don't.
Speaker 4 (01:12:53):
Know last time you came up here, explain why you
came up here last time and what.
Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
Happened there briefly for, you know, give people an update
a little bit.
Speaker 6 (01:12:59):
Oh, I run the Fearless Fund, which is the nation
and world's first venture capital fund built by women of
color for women of color.
Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
It was targeted by the anti-DEI movement.
Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
Millions and millions.
Speaker 6 (01:13:10):
Of dollars and yes we were hit with a federal
lawsuit so that's why i was here and i did
not know we were the beginning of this anti-dei movement
when things started off i thought we were like a
isolated situation and then it was court case after court
case after court case being filed and.
Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
Now you're telling your story you have a new book
called fearless freedom yes what did you learn from the
fearless fund lawsuit that that actually i guess scared.
Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
You One thing I learned that I do talk about
in the book, that when you're going through a storm,
that you only have time to talk to people who
can solve your problem.
Speaker 17 (01:13:43):
Man. Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
I don't need to do that in a storm. I'll
do that in the sunshine.
Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
I ain't talking about anybody that can't help me solve
my problem.
Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
No, seriously, because you allow distractions to interrupt your result.
So I definitely learned that. I learned that elections are
extremely consequential.
Speaker 7 (01:14:03):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
I went through a federal court case and literally every
judge that ruled against us was a Trump appointed judge.
Every Obama, every Clinton appointed judge ruled in our favor.
Speaker 17 (01:14:14):
I said, can y'all give me a Bush appointed judge? Like,
what is this?
Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
But the last administration and prior to the Biden administration,
they put in like 200 and something federal judges.
Speaker 17 (01:14:24):
And that's what the result of that was. I was
living in.
Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
In a Biden administration, but dealing with the consequences and
actions that took place in the Trump administration.
Speaker 11 (01:14:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Was that part of the reason you decided to go
to another continent?
Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
I've been back and forth to Africa for over a decade.
And I've always knew at some point I wanted to
be in both places. And then I ended up marrying
a Ghanaian, too. But I actually met my husband one day.
I was looking for like an apartment there.
Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
So, yes.
Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
What made you think, I need to have this just
in case? Oh, what I was dealing with.
Speaker 17 (01:14:59):
Oh, I got multiple citizenships and everything.
Speaker 12 (01:15:01):
I got to get up out of here.
Speaker 17 (01:15:03):
I got to get up out of here. I'm Grenadian.
I'm a lot of stuff. Because I said, if I
need options. I want to make sure I have them.
Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Was the government coming at you that bad where you said,
I'm going to need these options?
Speaker 11 (01:15:14):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:15:14):
I mean, it was to the point where people were
surveillance in my house. I had to have detail.
Speaker 17 (01:15:19):
It was a lot. I said, why is this work
this disruptive?
Speaker 6 (01:15:23):
And then I had to remember before the fearless fund existed,
the average fundraise for a black woman was only $ 30, 000.
Speaker 17 (01:15:29):
We came on a scene cutting million dollar checks.
Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
And then on top of that, there were only 34
black women, whoever had raised a million dollars before we existed.
By the next year, we were at 99 and a
lot of these people were ours. And I don't know
why that little bit of what I would consider small
piece of a pie would be so disturbing, but it
clearly caused all this disruption.
Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
What did that experience.
Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
Teach you about how America really views targeted economic opportunity?
Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
And what I mean by that is like, you know,
people tell us, to build wealth, right? Black people, build wealth,
build wealth, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Then you
have an organization that's trying to help us do that.
But then now you're being targeted because you did it.
Speaker 17 (01:16:08):
You're correct.
Speaker 6 (01:16:08):
So what it let me know that it's not just
enough for us to build things. We have to have
the resources to defend what we build. And I learned
that because we saw Black Wall Street, but we couldn't
defend it. You know, so it's not just enough for
us to build. We're great at building communities. We're great
at coalition building. We're great at building systems, supporting each
other's businesses. But if we don't have the resources to
(01:16:29):
defend it, we leave ourselves vulnerable.
Speaker 17 (01:16:32):
And that's what I learned from that.
Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
How much did you spend in defending your business?
Speaker 17 (01:16:38):
I don't mind.
Speaker 6 (01:16:40):
It wasn't even just that. We had some of our
attorneys were pro bono. Some were not. But it was
more so what it cost us in general. And for me,
any amount of money is worth our liberation. So I
had to keep that in mind. But when we got
in the court case, I think I had just closed
on $ 23 million and I had about $ 100 plus million
(01:17:01):
in diligence.
Speaker 17 (01:17:03):
I had to risk that.
Speaker 6 (01:17:05):
Because people, of course, didn't want to put money into
a vehicle that's in a legal situation.
Speaker 17 (01:17:10):
And I was like, oh my gosh. I'm like, you
can either.
Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
fold right now, or are you going to have to
be willing to risk this money?
Speaker 17 (01:17:17):
And I had to take that risk.
Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
What were they looking for?
Speaker 17 (01:17:19):
We lost a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
What were they looking for?
Speaker 6 (01:17:21):
They were looking to stop race-based funding, as he was
even stating, and even gender-based funding.
Speaker 17 (01:17:28):
So had we lost, luckily the case got.
Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
Permanently dismissed after 13 months, but had we lost at
the Supreme Court level, it would have done what his
previous case did, was when he won at the Supreme
Court level, and they eliminated affirmative action at all the colleges.
Speaker 13 (01:17:42):
Hmm.
Speaker 17 (01:17:43):
So they were looking to stop this completely.
Speaker 6 (01:17:45):
Race-based funding and gender-based funding, which would have stopped millions
and millions of dollars from coming into our communities.
Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
Can you educate the stupid real quick? And by the stupid,
I mean the people who will say, well, you know,
if you have a fund that invests specifically in black women,
what if I had a fund that only wanted to
invest in white men?
Speaker 6 (01:18:01):
Well, the reason why it's problematic is because we're actually
solving a disparity. This wouldn't exist if the disparity didn't exist.
And black people in America may be a minority, but
globally we are a majority. We're like around 20 percent.
I know the Asian and Chinese community are right behind us.
But when you suppress and oppress the majority of the people,
(01:18:23):
it's no good for the whole. So you have to
make sure that that demographic has the resources that they need.
Speaker 17 (01:18:29):
Because they're going to be the ones who have to
lift everybody else up.
Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Do you believe DEI is disappearing or is the language
around it simply changing?
Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Because that's what some of these corporations will say.
Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Like, we didn't actually roll it. We didn't get rid
of them. We just had to change the language because
we didn't want to be targeted by the federal government.
Speaker 6 (01:18:45):
We will know the true answer to that probably in
about five years when we see the results. But what
I can say that research has said, Harvard has studies
that say when you take away race conscious programming, that
the black race gets left behind. So we will see
the numbers and the effects on this very soon. But
while that has been true in the past, The pendulum
(01:19:06):
is going to have to swing only because the.
Speaker 17 (01:19:09):
Country is becoming more black and brown.
Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
That's right.
Speaker 17 (01:19:11):
So at some point, for people to survive.
Speaker 6 (01:19:15):
And for companies to thrive, they'll be forced to figure
it out if they don't want to choose to.
Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Figure it out.
Speaker 4 (01:19:20):
What's the most difficult thing that you see for black
entrepreneurs and black businessmen at all?
Speaker 17 (01:19:26):
It's just simply that, the access to capital.
Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
Is it capital or is it also the relationships?
Speaker 6 (01:19:31):
I think that's the biggest pain point. You're right when
you say relationships. So I tell people all the time,
a lot of times these stats exist. Even if you
take racism and sexism out of it, there's proximity. So
just the networks in itself, you may not have the
access to those networks.
Speaker 17 (01:19:50):
But the biggest pain point is still the capital.
Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Because when you hear somebody talk about an IPO, and
I always wonder if those IPOs were offered to us first, right?
Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Or do you hear.
Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
real estate industry, or you hear somebody investing into a company,
when you hear these brands that, you know, IPO and
make all this money, I'm like, I wonder if that
was offered us to us as well as to those
other companies.
Speaker 6 (01:20:10):
I'll say this though. And I feel very strongly about this.
We have to solve this money problem.
Speaker 17 (01:20:17):
Because when you.
Speaker 6 (01:20:17):
Come to the table with economic power, you're always in
a position to negotiate. The Jewish community can negotiate anything,
even if they're two to three percent of the population
because of their economic power. So when you say, is
it relationships? But see, that money will start unlocking some
relationships that didn't exist. So that's why I said if
we can get the money right first, it opens up
(01:20:38):
so many other opportunities. You can come to the table
and negotiate your voting rights. You can negotiate your health
care rights. Anything you want to negotiate, you're in position to.
But we can't keep as a community coming to the
table from an inferior position because that's what happens. You
don't have as much to leverage.
Speaker 5 (01:20:55):
If these corporations continue to back away from DEI, is
the answer to convince them.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
To come back?
Speaker 23 (01:21:01):
No.
Speaker 6 (01:21:04):
I don't think the answer is to necessarily convince them.
They're going to be forced. Like I said, even if
they don't choose it, just due to the demographics and
the way things are growing.
Speaker 17 (01:21:15):
I don't know. Maybe I just don't like the posture
of begging. So maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's
what it is for me. So they're going to do
it regardless. The pendulum's going to swing.
Speaker 1 (01:21:24):
Yeah, this administration is not going to be in forever.
Speaker 6 (01:21:26):
At some point, and even if they were, like I said,
we're going to be so overpopulated that you're going to
have to figure out how are you going to have customers?
How are you going to cater to this audience? You're
going to be forced to figure it out at some point.
It may be 10 years from now, but if you
don't choose it, you will be forced. So I don't
think it's a need to ask. Either you're going to
stand by what is a business case or not. I
(01:21:46):
asked actually Costco the other day, the staff there. I said,
what made y'all stand strong? They're investors in both our funds.
What made you stand strong through all this? And they said,
we don't even view it as standing strong.
Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
It's just good business.
Speaker 6 (01:21:57):
They said, the business case itself is enough for us
to pursue our business this way.
Speaker 15 (01:22:03):
Period.
Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
That's right.
Speaker 17 (01:22:04):
I was like, okay.
Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
And I just feel like black people, that's why I
love what y'all do, because I just feel like black
people should be building enough capital that we don't.
Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Need corporate America's permission to do anything.
Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
Oh yeah, we've got to become self-sufficient. But like I said,
in addition to being self-sufficient, we got to be able
to defend it. Because the second that you build it,
If somebody comes to get you, you can't be vulnerable.
Speaker 20 (01:22:24):
How are you having conversations with people about the mind
state around money? Like we have these capitalist conversations and
people talk certain ways. When you start making money, when
you bring your money into your business about you and
your business, how do you change that thinking so that
we know that we should be out here getting all
this money in and coming up and things.
Speaker 17 (01:22:40):
And it's okay to do that.
Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
When you ask that question, it, made me realize or
reminded me of how often people call it selling out
when you sell your company.
Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
Lord have mercy.
Speaker 17 (01:22:51):
He said, Lord have mercy. And it's really you selling up.
You ain't selling out. You just gaining more wealth.
Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
You can't sell out if you're going to buy in.
Speaker 6 (01:22:59):
But I think over time, people are starting to get that.
I hope we've gotten out of that. I still think
some of it is still there. I'm not in disagreement
with you. But I think that our level of exposure,
our reach, our Internet, everything now is where we can
see it. We can see it now. I see when
people set up, it's less backlash as before. So it's
(01:23:20):
getting less and less.
Speaker 17 (01:23:21):
But it needs to eliminate. Because right now, it's a blessing.
Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
But it goes back to the capital conversation.
Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
You start a business, you grow it, you scale it,
you sell it, you get the capital. And now you
got more capital to reinvest into your community. That's my mentality.
Speaker 20 (01:23:35):
Some people don't know, business owners don't know the difference
between having a good business and having a business that
is investable.
Speaker 17 (01:23:40):
Like you can invest in it. Because sometimes it's different. Well,
a good business should be investable.
Speaker 20 (01:23:45):
Yeah, but I think sometimes people think, I mean, maybe
it's like a personal thing. Like I've met people who
have a great business. They have customers, they're profiting. But
when they go out to people for investments, people are
like poking holes across their business plan and their business
maps and they don't want to invest in it just yet.
They're like, oh, come back, you know, next year or
Q4 or whatever, when we see a bit more of
(01:24:05):
whatever it is that you're doing.
Speaker 6 (01:24:07):
That's just part of like we're saying the restrictions of
access to capital. That person that you're describing isn't doing
anything wrong. You know, the fact that somebody's not willing
to give them a loan or invest and whatnot, that's
not a signal that they're doing something wrong. You can
have a completely healthy business and still be running up
against that obstacle. Matter of fact, we've even invested in
somebody who's dealing with that now. She has a contract
(01:24:28):
she recently got for $ 20 million ARR three years in
a row and looking for investors.
Speaker 17 (01:24:36):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
Wow.
Speaker 17 (01:24:38):
So it happens to good businesses all the time. That's
not like a sign that somebody is not investable.
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
This is my last question.
Speaker 5 (01:24:45):
If fearless freedom works exactly the way you want it to,
what does somebody stop being afraid.
Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Of after they read it?
Speaker 17 (01:24:52):
It's a few things.
Speaker 23 (01:24:53):
Yikes.
Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
I would say people stop being afraid of having difficult
conversations because I go over what the spirit of fear
is costing us. And I said, if you really write
down what your fear is costing you, you'll realize it's
too expensive to operate that way.
Speaker 16 (01:25:09):
Hmm.
Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
So that's one thing I can say. What I'm excited
about this book doing in the earth, I have a
whole playbook in here. Though the court case may be
the backdrop, it shows you in the book of how
we can actually have an equitable society. I have policy examples.
I give a roadmap for government. I give a roadmap
for corporations. I give a roadmap for VCs, like that
(01:25:31):
this is really something possible that we can actually achieve.
So I'm excited about that. And for everyday person, what
I'm excited about is the fact that everybody's dealing with
pivots right now. Everybody's dealing with failure right now. We
have 600,000 black women not even employed right now. This
book gives you that kind of encouragement that, okay, if
I can pivot, I saw this story this woman went through.
(01:25:53):
I can keep going. So I'm looking to see all of,
all of the catalytic inspiration and empowerment that's going to
come from it.
Speaker 3 (01:26:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Well, thank you for joining us this morning. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:26:02):
Go get fearless freedom right now. A manifesto for unlocking
wealth and equality for all.
Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
That's right. It's Arian Simone and it's the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:26:10):

Speaker 17 (01:26:23):
.
Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
.
Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
.
Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
.
Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
Big Nyla, come on. Big Nyla, NYLA.
Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Y'all 1990 now. He's getting old.
Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
We a little delayed.
Speaker 7 (01:26:38):
Sugar night.
Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
A little delayed.
Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
I was looking at somebody that Nyla ain't playing, but
I was just like, damn.
Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
Why does he always do stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
No, because we was listening to somebody else playing.
Speaker 17 (01:26:47):
Yeah, we was just listening.
Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
You just came in.
Speaker 17 (01:26:48):
I came into the equation and tried to make the
block hot like that.
Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
That's right, but go ahead.
Speaker 17 (01:26:51):
It's scary. It's fire.
Speaker 12 (01:26:53):
I just, when I see you, I think of, like,
brown sugar. It's scary.
Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
It's fire.
Speaker 17 (01:26:56):
Yeah, Charlamagne telling me to go cut some lines in it.
Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
I low-key want you to.
Speaker 12 (01:27:00):
No, he wants you to look like a five-heart beat
soul band.
Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
Like Kirk Franklin.
Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
The side of Kirk Franklin or, like, Bruno Mars, like,
the part like that.
Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
Don't do Robert Townsend.
Speaker 7 (01:27:08):
Don't do Robert Townsend.
Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
I need something.
Speaker 13 (01:27:09):
Something.
Speaker 17 (01:27:09):
I need to say something.
Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
It look fire.
Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
No, it's cute.
Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
You better not put no part in your hair like that. Man,
get a part, man.
Speaker 17 (01:27:15):
I don't know about a part, but I do want, like, a... Something.
Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
You want to zhuzh it up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
I got you.
Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
You know, you can't get that back if you zhuzh it, though.
If you put a design in, you got to let
it grow back.
Speaker 12 (01:27:24):
Her hair grows so fast.
Speaker 25 (01:27:26):
It did grow back fast. That's why I got to
gel it. Extra, extra gel it down. Because now I'm
at least at, like, this much.
Speaker 12 (01:27:31):
Yeah, your hair grow fast.
Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Okay.
Speaker 17 (01:27:33):
Anyway. All right, so let's get into these songs.
Speaker 25 (01:27:36):
I want to start off with Mark Lux, who's a
really big rapper out on the West Coast.
Speaker 12 (01:27:39):
He got a new record called On Point.
Speaker 24 (01:27:43):
I like that.
Speaker 12 (01:27:46):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Is that hyphy? Would that be considered hyphy?
Speaker 12 (01:27:48):
Yeah, I was about to ask the same thing.
Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
It's definitely giving Bay Area.
Speaker 25 (01:27:52):
West Coast a little bit of hyphy.
Speaker 7 (01:27:55):
I like that, man.
Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Definitely giving Bay Area West Coast.
Speaker 12 (01:27:57):
For sure shout out to.
Speaker 25 (01:27:58):
It Mark Lux is really really dope and I feel
like he's in like the class of rap that I
really love he just on the west so it'd be
hard to get to him but I feel like between
that and watching The Drop you know is doing.
Speaker 24 (01:28:09):
Oh yeah you've been watching it I've been watching it
so I'm only in the third episode don't tell me
don't tell me it's crazy it's getting crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
My guy's a problem and glasses they gonna be up here.
Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
This week actually yeah glasses oh nice I'm wearing these
this week too Oh, dope.
Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
They're all on the drop.
Speaker 17 (01:28:22):
All right.
Speaker 25 (01:28:23):
Well, next, let's get into this new record from Nipah. Now,
Nipah's originally from London, but he's been living in New York,
I think, the past few months. This record is called Bittersweet.
Speaker 12 (01:28:36):
I can do a few things to this. I can
cook to this. I can strut, catwalk to this.
Speaker 17 (01:28:40):
All types of stuff.
Speaker 12 (01:28:41):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
It's cool.
Speaker 12 (01:28:42):
Yeah, it's different, but I really do like it. It's cool.
It's cool. He can sing. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:28:48):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 17 (01:28:49):
So yeah, that's Nipah.
Speaker 25 (01:28:51):
New to America, but he's been making music for a
while now, and I've always been a fan. But the
last one I'm going to get into is one of
Drake's new songs that he premiered on that mini documentary.
Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
Okay. OVO Eli must have gave this one to you.
Speaker 25 (01:29:04):
I cannot confirm or deny, but just know, you know,
he's keeping me hip to all the things OVO for sure.
Speaker 12 (01:29:10):
And this record is called Truth in Texas featuring Don Toliver.
Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
Don Toliver never misses to me. I love Don Toliver.
Shout out to Drake too for this.
Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
Don Toliver, I feel like he's that icing on the cake,
that cherry on top.
Speaker 12 (01:29:30):
I love what he does with his voice. I like
Don Sullivan.
Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
I'm a Don Sullivan fan.
Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
No, get through it. They sampled, right? Yeah, get through it.
Speaker 12 (01:29:35):
I feel like those records always hit. Like, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 24 (01:29:39):
It's a lot of them out there. Like, Don Sullivan
always does this type of mood with his songs.
Speaker 12 (01:29:44):
But what the hell was Drake saying?
Speaker 25 (01:29:46):
I think he was slurring a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Drunk, tipsy, high.
Speaker 4 (01:29:52):
I don't love those Drake records. I get it because
I know a lot of people do. But I like
more of the uptempo. I get it because that's going
to be one of the records that all the girls
are going to be singing.
Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
But if he did his.
Speaker 6 (01:30:00):
Regular poetry thing, he already got like a monotone voice
where he can just like get on there and talk
it smooth.
Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
You know, talk smooth.
Speaker 12 (01:30:05):
But he ain't had to sound like he had a
medical issue.
Speaker 17 (01:30:07):
This was catered to Texas.
Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
Yeah, it's catered to Texas. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 25 (01:30:11):
And Don's from Texas, so.
Speaker 13 (01:30:14):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
Oh, Don is? Yes, he is.
Speaker 12 (01:30:15):
Oh, okay, fire.
Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
Yeah, Don and Salute to Don, Talibah, Salute to Young Josh, man.
Young Josh used to call Breakfast Club all the time,
but then they also used to be out in front
of the radio station and, you know, giving us music
and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
So it's good to see them. Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Don blow the way that he blew.
Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
What's up with JL? What's his name?
Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
Young Josh.
Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
Young Josh, yeah, Young Josh.
Speaker 5 (01:30:35):
Last time when we had Don up here, maybe a
year ago, two years ago, he said, how many young
guys still cool?
Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (01:30:42):
Shout out to Don Tyler. He didn't know you from Texas.

Yeah.

Nyla got three singles out right now that she don't
like to promote for whatever reason.
Speaker 12 (01:31:08):
That is not true. There's just a lot of things
going on in our world.
Speaker 17 (01:31:10):
This is still my job.
Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
It's to promote.

You know what?
Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 20 (01:34:29):
Don't. Sometimes you don't have to just say. Sometimes you
can literally say nothing and it will be felt.
Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
Literally. Silence!
Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34:38):

So just want to say salute to everybody that I
ran into yesterday. So yesterday I got a chance to
host Lincoln Tech's 80th anniversary celebration. Now Lincoln Tech is
a trade school. at trade school that they specialize in HVAC, automotive, welding, electronics.
(00:57):
And yesterday they had their 80th anniversary celebration. I got
a chance to talk to them and found out where
Lincoln Tech started. It was actually started from a military
vet but when he came back from serving world war
one there were no jobs for people that came out
the military so he started a school a trade school
to teach vets how to do electric how to do
hvac how to do welding how to do automotive so
(01:20):
when the vets came back from war they had jobs
and that's how lincoln tech was created so i got
a chance last night to uh host their 80th celebration.
So salute to Lincoln Tech and all that they're doing
out there with students and getting students in position to
have jobs, regardless of if AI is taking over or not.
There's certain jobs that AI just can't do. I want
to say salute to Tina and Scott and Steve and
(01:40):
everybody over at Laker Tech. I really appreciate you guys.

Speaker 9 (04:25):
Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
largest injury law firm. So we start this hour with
President Trump officially back on the campaign trail for the midterms.
He is kicking off a 32 campaign sprint in the
red states as Republicans fight to hold on to their
majorities in Congress. Trump says he plans to campaign nearly
(04:45):
every day between now and Election Day. And a big
part of his message will be the economy as the
cost of living remains a major concern for voters heading
into November. As Trump headed for the plane, he was
leaving for Texas and Oklahoma. He pointed out. that he
says the economy is strong. Most people don't feel that,
(05:05):
but that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I give us an A-plus on the government, on economics,
on everything. Look at inflation. I inherited the worst inflation
in history under Biden. Worst in history, and now it's great.
It's really good. We've got it down, and oil is
going to come down very, very soon.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
I mean, it might be the economy might be booming
for him and his friends. I'm sure they're getting fat
in the White House.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
They're making some bread. It's like, what, 12 billionaires in
the White House?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They eating. But what about the regular everyday working class people?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
I'm glad that you.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
Said that because a new AP poll shows just 26
percent of Americans approve of how he's handling the economy.
That is a new low, especially for that poll. Just
26 percent of Americans approve on that on the economy poll.
And then specifically when it comes to the cost of living, living,
the number drops to just 17%. So seven, just 17%
(06:00):
of Americans say, you know, this economy is working for them.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
So, you know, it's, it's, those numbers are not good
that the.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
Majority are feeling, you know, they can't afford food, groceries, gas,
everything else. So, um, I don't know where he is, uh,
kind of getting those, those other numbers from, but, um,
Moving to the family of Renee Good, her family is
actually suing the federal government and several Trump administration officials
(06:28):
over her killing by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. So
Good was the 37-year-old mother of three when ICE agent
Jonathan Ross shot and killed her inside her car back
in January in Minneapolis. Her family, they've now filed the lawsuits,
and they are accusing the officials of excessive force and
violating her civil rights.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
They say that Goode wasn't under investigation.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
And ICE, you know, they weren't even looking for her.
Her family's attorney, they announced the lawsuits yesterday.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Let's listen.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
Today, we announced two historic federal lawsuits taking on the
Trump's administration unconstitutional acts during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
Thousands and thousands of agents were deployed. It ensnared an
inexcusable number of Goode and decent people, including Renee Goode.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
All that money not going to bring back their loved one,
but they deserve all that money.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Absolutely.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Yeah. The lawsuits, they're seeking damages in a jury trial
of Ross, who was that ICE agent.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
He has not been criminally charged.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
And the Trump administration, though, says these lawsuits are baseless
and they will fight them in court.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
So.
Speaker 12 (07:47):
There is that.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
But you guys, this morning, millions of Americans who get SNAP,
they're going to get a little bit more money for
groceries this month. The yearly increase kicked in on October 1st.
So about $ 30 more a month for a family of
four and about $ 10 more for one person. But on
the flip side of that, there are new work requirements.
Those are also kicking in. So adults without young children,
(08:09):
they now have to work at least 80 hours a
month to keep their benefits. And that rule now applies
to people who are up to age 64. So some
good and some bad news there with that.
Speaker 12 (08:22):
And lastly.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
If you have fallen.
Speaker 9 (08:24):
Behind on your federal student loans, there is a new
way to start getting out of default.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
The federal government, they've.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Launched a new online system to make the process easier.
So before, you had to call, you had to mail,
you even had to fax in your paperwork. Well, now
you can set up payments, upload your documents, and apply
to consolidate your loans, rehabilitate your loans all in one place.
You can just go to studentaid.gov and look for the
Defaulted Loan Support Center website. And this is very important
(08:51):
to deal with because, as we talked about before, those
default loans mean the government can take money from your
tax refunds.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
They can take money from your wages. They can garnish
your wages.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
So if you think that you are in default, just
go to that website, studentaid.gov, and look for that defaulted
loan support center. So that is your 6 a.m. front page,
sponsored by Morgan & Morgan. Injured, know your worth. Largest
injury law firm. Visit ForThePeople.com. And you guys, coming up
at 7, there is a change to airport security that's
(09:23):
going to affect what you see the next time you fly.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
So we're going to talk about that next hour.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And everybody else, get it off your chest.
Speaker 13 (09:28):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Good morning. It's a new day.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's time to get up and get something. Call up now.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 11 (09:52):
Good morning, Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's Blake. What's up, Blake?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
What are you calling from, Blake?
Speaker 11 (09:56):
I'm calling from Houston.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
H-Town. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Blake,
you voting? Yeah, I'm voting.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
All right, who you voting for in Texas?
Speaker 11 (10:02):
Tyler Rico.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 14 (10:04):
I'm confused.
Speaker 11 (10:05):
The lady was sentenced to death.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Didn't die.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
Now they got in the hospital trying to save her life.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't know if they're trying to save her life.
Speaker 15 (10:13):
Yeah, they said she's under life-saving medication.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, that don't make no sense. Yeah, that don't make
no sense. They tried to kill her.
Speaker 11 (10:19):
That don't make no sense.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I just thought she wouldn't die.
Speaker 16 (10:22):
Yeah, if they wasn't trying to save her, why bring
her to the hospital?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
But I guess you can't, quote unquote, suffer, I guess, because.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
they can be sued if she.
Speaker 16 (10:33):
Suffers I mean but you sent us to death I
mean what's worse than death.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I mean what's crazy I keep saying it it's just
not her time it's clearly not her time to go
or his phone hung up but yeah it's clearly not
her time to go like that's the thing that I
think people aren't paying attention to with this story even
if you're sending somebody to death it's not their time
to go it's not their time to go.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I think legally you can't have a painful death it
has to be a peaceful death I guess no such
thing you can't suffer that's legally.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I've been suffering for 25 years.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
As soon as you give me a date and tell
me this is the date I'm going to die, I'm
sure that you'll be in your head about it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Maybe you can get to some form of peace.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I don't know. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 17 (11:10):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 15 (11:11):
This is Laura from Detroit.
Speaker 1 (11:14):

I'm definitely cleaning up my closet. I can't wait.
Speaker 17 (11:59):

Speaker 20 (11:59):
I just got a second, what is it called? Where
it's like a closet, but it's like a, you order,
it's not like a built-in closet.
Speaker 14 (12:04):
You know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
A pack system?

So salute to Val. Long time listening. We appreciate you, Val.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Val, let's talk.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
See, now I'm thinking about it, and I believe Richard,
but yesterday also was the first, too, man.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah. You got to be careful. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
The only thing with Richard is he just created it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
A month ago, which makes me kind of— And he
sounded very sincere.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
He did sound sincere.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I believe him.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 17 (18:38):
And when you asked the name, he knew the name
right off the bat.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Salute to Richard, but regardless. God rubbed you to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That's not how that works.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Sometimes you can give it to the wrong person and
God be like, why did you do that?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I did not tell you to do that. Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Get it off your chest.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
We got the latest one coming up.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
We do.
Speaker 17 (19:00):
Yesterday, the news broke.
Speaker 20 (19:01):
Rick Ross was arrested down in Miami Beach on domestic
violence charges. But he's saying he's innocent and he just
wants rigatoni pasta. So I've been talking to police down
in Miami and we are going to get into all
the exclusive details.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Does Miami only have one judge? That judge does everything.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
She goes viral.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I feel like she does everything.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
She did the lady on the cruise that we talked
about yesterday. Every time we talk about somebody in Miami, that.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Lady's the judge. I don't know.
Speaker 17 (19:27):
I doubt Miami just has one judge. He just ended
up there.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah, we will.
Speaker 1 (19:31):

If little brown girls look at you and go i

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

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Spicy rigatoni. Vodka. Pasta from Carbone. It's a little too Carbones.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Extra marinara. Yeah, he does. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Nobody describes food better than Rick Ross.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I would definitely go to ZZ Club of Gabon if
I was home. But I am going to North Carolina
Charlotte this weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh, you got to go to Club No Knife.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I am definitely going to No Knife. You got to
go to the baby's restaurant No Knife. I'm going to
No Knife. But since there's a homecoming out there, I
know it's going to be rampant.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I'm going to have to call. Sorry, I ain't waiting
in the line. I'm going to have to make a
phone call.
Speaker 17 (28:38):
We know you're bougie. You like skin.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, I got to go, but I got to try
that velvet. What was that?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Red velvet waffle.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Red velvet waffle with fried chicken wings. That banana pudding
waffle looks good, too.
Speaker 17 (28:48):
I am so hungry now.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Anyway, good morning, everybody. Let's get in some front page news.
Let's start with some quick sports and Thursday night football.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
The Browns beat the Steelers 27-24. Last night, the Aces
beat the Fever 94-83. Asia Wilson had 36 points.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Congratulations to the Aces.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Come on now.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Best women's basketball player on the planet. Dropped one of
the clues bombs for South Carolina's own Asia Wilson. Slew
to the good sister Raven Johnson, too, of the Indiana Fever, man.
They need to be playing Raven Johnson more. She got
a lot of playing time last night. But if y'all
had been doing that all season, y'all probably would have
been in a better position and wouldn't have had to play.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
The A's the first round.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Fever.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
And also a salute to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves
beat the Phillies last night, 6-2. What's up, Mimi?
Speaker 8 (29:30):
Good morning, guys. How y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Good. Good morning.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
largest injury law firm.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
So we start.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
This hour with new information in the Cornell sexual assault
case involving seven former fraternity members.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
So the state of New York is now.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Taking a fresh look at the case with Governor Kathy Hochul,
putting Attorney General Letitia James in charge of the investigation now.
This all stems from a former Cornell student says she
was drugged and sexually assaulted by seven men at a
fraternity house back in 2024. She says two of the
men drugged her and then sent a message to the
(30:09):
fraternity group offering offering access to her.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
No criminal charges were filed at the time.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
But the local DA says key information from the woman's
interview with campus police, it never made it to his office.
That includes telling investigators, quote, I can say with 100%
confidence I was raped.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Now, the local DA says he never saw that statement.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
In an interview with MS Now, he explained why he
said that information never made it to his office.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Let's listen to that exchange.
Speaker 22 (30:41):
I guess, respectfully, why should the people of your community
have confidence in you to handle this investigation when you
didn't even know such a critical statement from Jane Doe
as it related to this investigation in its first stages?
Speaker 21 (30:55):
We initially had to rely on the Cornell Police Department
to be thorough and provide us the information that they did.
And we reviewed that information. It appeared to be comprehensive.
It appeared to be very detailed and a full account
of what happened. I can't explain why additional information did
not make it to my office.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Yeah, so Governor Kathy Hochul says she no longer has
confidence in the local DA's ability to handle this case.
And putting AG Letitia James in charge will give her
office the power to investigate further.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
The evidence and send that evidence to a grand.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
Jury if it warrants and bring criminal charges if the
evidence supports that.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
But that case I've been hearing, I feel like every
day there's some new information, right? There's this new Snapchat.
There's a new story. There's a new this. There's a
new that. I just hope that the truth comes out, right?
I hope if the girl did get raped and that's
what happened, what she said, I hope she gets her
peace and these gentlemen get arrested. But I just hope
that the truth comes out. Because it's just, I'm hearing
so many stories from different sides. And all of a sudden,
(32:00):
this Snapchat came out. The next thing I see. What
do you mean this Snapchat?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Like there's just so much information that's been coming out
with this case. That group chat that was a group
chat on Snapchat.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
Free P open access.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
That was on Snapchat.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, so some of those messages have leaked. It's just
very sad. And I pray that the facts come out
and justice is served.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I swear I hope.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
For sure, for sure. We will continue watching that.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
And switching gears here, so if you are a TSA
agent this morning, I really wonder how you feel about
this next story. So TSA is now telling officers at
airport security checkpoints that they can no longer sit while
checking IDs and boarding passes.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
They'll now be expected to stand while doing it.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
So TSA says the changes will help officers stay alert
and create a more professional experience for travelers. But the
union that represents TSA workers is pushing back. They say
that their officers spend so much time Standing and walking
around on hard floors and the chairs, they're not about comfort.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
They're about just basic.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Support for workers.
Speaker 9 (33:11):
The union that's making these, the union says that making
these changes without the.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Input of the officers is, you know, safety.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
And it's just basic decency to let people sit down
and not have them standing for eight hours on their
feet if they don't have.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yeah, I don't see the reason for TSA workers to
have to stand up when they're checking our IDs.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Like, what's the point? You know, I mean, those lines
be long as hell sometimes. That doesn't make no sense.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Why would you make them stand up like that? Yeah,
why would they have to stand up? They're not patting
you down. They're just checking your IDs. And a lot
of times, all you're doing is looking in the camera,
and they're clearing to see if you're good. Like, there's
no reason to have them standing for six, seven hours
a shift.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And what about older TSA workers or TSA workers of size? Okay,
they don't need to.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Be on TV.
Speaker 17 (33:54):
You always take it there. Lean on people alone.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
You know what's crazy? I don't see that many TSA workers.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
Thank you so much, government. Shutdown's not getting paid.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's what I'm saying, man.
Speaker 17 (34:05):
Thank you for bringing back the compassion, Mimi.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
No, I'm with them.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I don't see the reason. That makes no sense to me.
There's no reason to have them standing. And like you said,
their feet will be hurting. Because think about us.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
We're going through the line relatively fast, right?
Speaker 23 (34:18):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
But think about how long they're just there.
Speaker 20 (34:20):
But also the amount of people and the different personalities
they encounter. It's a lot working and travel and having
to deal with all of that. Like sitting down is
the least you can let them do when you got
to deal with all those people, all those attitudes. Everybody rushing.
Everybody want to be accommodated.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I don't see the point. If you want to keep
them alert.
Speaker 17 (34:36):
Why don't you?
Speaker 20 (34:37):
I think because sometimes when I'm in the TSA lines,
I hear them asking like when they can go on
their breaks and stuff. Why don't they figure out a
better behind-the-scenes system to rotate them out so that way
people aren't exhausted by the people interaction?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But how are they not alert? They're taking your license.
They're taking the identification. They're taking your ticket. They're alert.
Speaker 17 (34:55):
I would assume that it's like they feel like it
gets mundane. It's just like.
Speaker 20 (34:59):
okay let me take it boom okay go like where
they're just passing people through.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And ain't it's not like people sneaking by getting on
the plane.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Yes then you got to go to another security it
is stupid but everything going on in this world that's
what we're thinking about alone.
Speaker 9 (35:10):
Man yeah but you're right we got so much so
much happening this have not not letting them sit down
should be the least of our concerns right now.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Think about the tsa really quickly before.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
We go guys i just wanted to you know it's
homecoming season there are new rankings of hbcus out in
the country um.
Speaker 17 (35:27):
Say that again, Lauren, get to Dell state.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Go ahead. Yeah, we're going to get to Dell state,
but I'm going to do the top five. So coming
in at number five, y'all North Carolina, a and T right.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
That's, that's top five.
Speaker 9 (35:38):
More house is number four. Tuskegee is number three. Uh,
H U Howard is the second spot. And once again,
for the 20th year in a row, Spelman has been
ranked number, the number one HBCU in the country for.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
20 years straight.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
Um, Envy, if you're wondering where Hampton lies, it ties
for number six with BAMU.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Where's South Carolina State University?
Speaker 17 (36:01):
We're at Delaware State, you know.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
South Carolina, Char, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
But Claflin University.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
Is number 10. That's in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yes, Claflin.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
Yep, Delaware is 16.
Speaker 20 (36:18):
Well, we were on the Forbes HBCU ranking list. I
think we were number 10 there. I like that one better.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
Yeah so Delaware was 16 it fell from 11 from
last year so yeah but that's that that is the
latest rankings for this year uh according to U.S. News
and World Report so there you have it I need
to see where South Carolina state is I want to
say was in the.
Speaker 8 (36:41):
20s it's far down You said lower down?
Speaker 17 (36:47):
Yeah. Dell State.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
We might be there soon.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
We will.
Speaker 17 (36:52):
Dell State is Dell State.
Speaker 20 (36:53):
We were ranked number 10 top public HBCUs on Forbes
ranking this year.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
And I just want to let you know.
Speaker 17 (36:59):
Inaugural 2026 list.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Before we continue on, just so you know, the HBCU
that ranks amongst the return on investment, meaning the students
that actually get great jobs, and are able to pay
off their loans, number one is Hampton University.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
They have the highest.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
I need the source of that.
Speaker 12 (37:15):
I just sent you that.
Speaker 17 (37:16):
That's from their Facebook auntie. She picked that out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
The HBCU that gets the students the most amount of
money and return on investment is Hampton University. So all
those lists mean nothing if you're not getting a good
job and you're paying off these loans in 30 years.
Speaker 17 (37:30):
It's all love. It's all family.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Thank you, Mimi.

It's got a connotation, dog. I appreciate you not saying that.
You got to do what you got to do in Hollywood, Paul.
That was out of pocket. No, this was out of
my pocket. I am five years sober next month.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Congratulations, brother.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Thanks, dude. I was just one of those people who, like,
you give me pizza, I want seven slices. You give
me weed, I want to rip the bong. nine times
you give me alcohol I want to you know go
online shopping while drunk and then forget I bought concert
tickets I was I was you know that was me once.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You get to the point where you knew you had
to stop I was.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
At a strip club in the French Quarter in Nola
by myself. I was just throwing money away, and I
was thinking about suicide. I was drunk and high and lonely,
and I said, this got too dark.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
But a strip is that bad that you just... Man,
shut the f * * * up.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
What the hell is your problem?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
You're like, I didn't know white people had issues. It
was not, it was not fun. It was not like
make it rain. Yeah, no, this was like Charlie Brown,
the rain cloud falling. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
And you did it. How did you get out of that?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
That play?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I pivoted.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
I just like made some life choices. I stopped watching.
I stopped watching porn and I stopped drinking July of 2021.
And then like three months later, I was in one
of these, you know, meetings or whatever with all the dudes.
And I was like, I've been lying to y'all. I've
been getting high. I'm still high. Like I've been high
in meetings and I cried and broke down and I
(40:44):
was like, I'm going to start my day count over.
I'm going to start over. I'm getting rid of weed.
And so October 26th was my first day, like clean
of all the things. And I still got, we all
got issues and drama and problems, but like, at least
I can deal with them without having those million crutches,
which is what it was for me. And I don't
vilify a weed or alcohol. I think if you can
(41:06):
handle it, like, dude, Follow your bliss and enjoy Coachella.
But I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
I commend you because even being that honest to talk
about it is difficult because a lot of people don't
even have the honesty to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Men got to be more vulnerable. The fruits of the
spirit in the Bible are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control. And gentleness is something that dudes just are
not on yet.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
We're not even gentle with ourselves the way that we're
supposed to.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Give yourself grace.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Give yourself grace. Like we're too hard on ourselves. I
think so.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Absolutely true. Yeah, I did this talk show. It's called
the Boy Talk Talk Show. We got Blake Griffin, Becky Lynch,
Teddy Swims, Rob Roush, who won Traders. We got all
these amazing guests for the first eight episodes are dropping.
But it's kind of shining a light on toxic masculinity.
And one of the things with toxic masculinity is like,
dudes not feeling they... It's like when a dude hugs
(42:02):
another dude and they feel they gotta pat their back
or say no homo. It's like, dude, y'all need to
chill out, bro. Nobody thinks you're trying to unzip my
pants because we hugged or because you told me your feelings. Like,
calm down.
Speaker 24 (42:16):
And this room is total opposite of that.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Oh, it's good.
Speaker 24 (42:19):
Like, no, y'all always think that y'all is trying to
rear-end each other. Like, that's just what it is. You
come up behind him and.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
I purposely, I do a thing in every episode where
each male co-host, I always grab their inner thigh when
I agree with them. Like, yeah, man. Just to make
them feel uncomfortable. Just to make them feel uncomfortable. Dude,
it's so funny, though. It gets the best reaction. I
don't think, I don't know that I did.
Speaker 7 (42:50):
Hey, man. Hey, man.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
See, you told him, so this is different.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
But if you didn't tell him, you just grabbed his thigh.
Speaker 7 (42:58):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
I wish you would have did it.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
I wish you would have did it.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
No, I want to be brought back. I want to
come back. I want you all to have me again.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Oh, he would love you, man.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
He would invite you.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
But Chuck Liddell, the UFC fighter, I don't know that
I touched his thigh, but I definitely, I think at
one point we like high five and I interlink my
fingers with him like a marital couple.
Speaker 13 (43:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
But just making people uncomfortable, that kind of between two
ferns thing with Zach Galifianakis, I love that stuff.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Me too.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
I like a good, just put a little good joke.
Just place it.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Hysterical.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Just nice in there somewhere in the conversation.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
That's me, man. I'm the same guy, you know, quoting
the book of Ephesians, but also making 40 jokes a day.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
We go far. You know the turnstile when you leave,
the glass doors? I'll jump in it behind him. It'll
be the same one going.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Around and around. I do that all the time, dude. Yeah,
just goofing, man. I do that all the time. Just goofing, bro.
I love elevators, man. I'm always trying to make people
uncomfortable in the elevator. I'll just be like, how's everybody
doing today? I'm just doing a wellness check. How are you?
I'll make them look up from their phones. I love
stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
I know there's a lot of married men who are
completely favorable to their wives, right?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Like we are.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
They end up flirting with each other. It's just a
primal instinct. They got to flirt with somebody.
Speaker 3 (44:06):
You know, it's just it's fun. It's funny. But but yeah, no,
I think. And once again, a lot of people get
really pissed off. They're like, we talk about toxic masculinity.
Men are supposed to. It's like, dude, femininity, masculinity. These
are good things. I'm putting an adjective on it because
I'm calling out. the nature with which it becomes wayward
or perverse. These dudes like Patrick Bet-David who are like,
(44:28):
money is the greatest thing in the world. Dudes like
Andrew Tate. It's like you're sending messaging out to young
men to tell them that if you're an entrepreneur at
19 and you have a bunch of followers and you're
putting videos out of you at a nightclub, you're cool.
It's like, it's not cool, bro. You might think it's cool,
but that's perception. Reality is... you are probably very scared
(44:52):
and you are probably very insecure.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I agree with you, but you avoided the question.
Speaker 5 (44:59):
Do you think married men who are faithful flirt with
other men just because you flirt with men?
Speaker 3 (45:04):
I flirt with everybody. No, no, no. Maybe not children,
but yeah. Not on that. Not on that.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
I saw you, you wore the coordinates to Jeffrey Epstein's
old ranch.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Zorro Ranch.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
To the Resident Evil premiere.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Why?
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I'm just trying to stir the pot, bro. My heroes
are people like Kendrick Lamar and Cat Williams. I like
truth tellers. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying they're perfect.
Cat's on some other.
Sometimes where I'm not sure I fully buy the narrative.
I like pointing out like, hey, give this a Google search.
(45:41):
Do your own research, as they say. I heard a
church bought that Zorro ranch.
Speaker 7 (45:47):
Really?
Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah, that's sketchy, bro. The Catholic Church?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Shut up, man.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Don't even have to be Catholic. Let's call it what
it is. Some people are doing some awful things in
the name of Jesus, and they're going to get it
the worst when the game is over, bro.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
No, you're right.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
They're going to get it the worst.
Speaker 5 (46:05):
We had that conversation the other day, because we were
talking about, you know, our guy D1 was up here,
and he was saying how, he was talking about rappers,
and they promote negative things in their music, because he
feels like, You know, those are the ones that are
probably in line for hell first. But then, you know,
Lauren LaRosa was like, well, what about the pastors who
are preaching the word of God all the time, but
they're not living that life.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
Absolutely. And, you know, God's love and grace is abundant, bro. Like,
you don't have to be perfect, but I think there's
a difference between evil people and sinners. I think we're
all sinners, but I think there's some evil people who
are just sinners. strategically hurting people their entire life.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
I completely agree with that. I never thought about that.
There's a difference between evil and like, and we all sin, right?
Speaker 3 (46:47):
We all, but I'm, I'm committed to evil. I'm a,
I'm a free man surrounded by slave Masons, bro. I'm,
I'm okay being way less famous, a way less powerful. If, uh,
I don't got those, uh, Chains on me.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
You said you're happy having way less money and being
way less famous. Paul, you have an Emmy. You have
a Golden Globe.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
Got a hot.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
You've been in Marvel movies.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Jesus, Love and Wife and Three Dope Kids.
Speaker 12 (47:10):
I like the way Paul says it.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
You're doing very, very, very well.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Some may say you're in the Illuminati.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Illuminati. That's a cute word. Freemasons run the world. That's
what's going on. And, uh, your votes don't count. And your, uh,
your opinion is cute. Uh, that's why you gotta, you
gotta get down with God and you gotta have community
and you gotta take care of each other. Cause the,
the world is, um, one big puppetry thing. And, uh,
they're trying to distract you.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
You don't think votes count even after what we've seen
right now?
Speaker 3 (47:41):
I don't think so. I'm still riding for people. Like I'm,
I'm still making fun of Ken Paxton on the Today
Show earlier and giving love to James Tallarico. I'll still
vote and ride for people, but I also think there's
a ceiling. It is constructed so that there are boundaries
and a ceiling with how much change can actually be made.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, you think everything that's happening right now is by design?
Speaker 1 (48:06):
To some degree.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
Not everything. And, you know, we can kind of... decode
or break the matrix a little bit with how, how
we roll. And, uh, we've seen that with, you know, MLK,
we've seen that with, uh, uh, hashtag me too. Like
there've been things where like we saw actual change and
it was like, hell yeah. So, so I don't mean
to say that you are not powerful. You watching like
(48:28):
you are, you're more powerful than you know, but just
know the game you're playing. The, uh, the game is rigged,
but the God is real.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
I was asking what got you into wrestling? Why'd you
jump back into wrestling?
Speaker 3 (48:37):
I love wrestling. I just never fell out of love
with it. I think it's so fun.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
What did your wife say when you said, Dave, I
want to wrestle?
Speaker 3 (48:43):
She's not a fan.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
Not a fan. And I'm limping around. I had an
easy match like four days ago in Charleston, South Carolina. Simple,
simple match. Oh, for real? Yeah, it was nice. I
really liked it the short time I was there. And
I had a match. against this guy he's um he's
part of like the male cheer squad for the savannah
bananas you all know about that yes speaking of yeah
(49:05):
speaking of things that would make some tight dude be
like no no homo but this guy cody fluffman had
a great like five minute match with him and i
just i can barely walk i don't know what happened
to my hip i think it's the gluteus me the
muscle from the top of your ass to the side
of your thigh. I can barely walk without taking 1,200
(49:27):
milligrams of Advil. Damn.
Speaker 7 (49:29):
Why?
Speaker 5 (49:29):
What did he do to your ass?
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Nothing. Nothing happened, man.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
What's wrong with you, man?
Speaker 3 (49:38):
As Cat Williams said, I got a virgin booty. I'm good.
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (49:42):
So is it the adrenaline rush? Is that what wrestling
gives you that acting doesn't?
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Adrenaline rush and just instant gratification. You know, I did
stand-up comedy for a number of years, and there's something
great about getting that immediate response. Same with cooking, though, too.
It's like people are eating that thing once it's cooled off.
Speaker 7 (49:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
And there's something nice to that.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Paul hasn't been hitting on me like crazy.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Oh, really? Oh, damn.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
No, I got a couple more minutes. Oh, perfect.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
And you're playing Mick Foley, I saw, in a limited series.
Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah, I'm attached to playing Mick Foley in a limited
series about the life of that wrestler and what he
went through. between wcw and wwe trying to find his
way and find his voice and um he ended up
going to japan having these crazy like death matches they're
called with um c4 explosives and barbed wire and stuff
him and this dude terry funk just beat the out
(50:31):
of each other and so we're we're telling that story
um and we're just trying to assemble the team to
pitch it no i was.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
Gonna say man you know Playing that character could probably
take you to a dark place, but I feel like
you've already kind of been there.
Speaker 3 (50:45):
Yeah. Yeah. I played a serial killer for an Apple show.
That was darkest.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
I'm not talking about the character you play.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
Oh, me. Yeah. No, straight up.
Speaker 7 (50:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
I was in a dark place when I shot that.
Speaker 13 (50:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Yeah, lately I've been in a much lighter place. It's
a nice place to be.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
What does your wife understand about you that Hollywood never will?
Speaker 3 (51:03):
Wow, that's a really good question. I wish I had
an immediate good answer for a question that thoughtful. I
think my wife understands what a teddy bear I am.
Some people, you know, like to a dude's point, what
was the dude, Deontay, who was on before me? Yeah,
he seemed like a cool guy. If I say something
about the Palestinian conflict or I say something about, like
(51:24):
I have a Letterboxd account where I review movies I've
seen and stuff. it got way too much attention because
I didn't give five stars out of five stars to
some of my own movies. But like, I'm always telling,
I'm telling the truth. Like y'all can get mad and
people do, but at the end of the day, I
am a teddy bear and I'm telling the truth. And
I think my wife knows that. Whereas I think public
perception can get very caught up, kind of the sin
(51:47):
of not being congruent with someone else's mindset. Everybody goes crazy.
Speaker 5 (51:51):
I mean, you seem very comfortable being the guy who
stirs up. Is that courage or you just, you just
sometimes enjoy, enjoy the fight.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
Well, Kat said too, he's like, I stirred up the
hornet's nest or bee's nest. And then he was like,
I got stung enough times that I backed off. So like,
I haven't been stung yet, but I'm sure when I do,
maybe I'll get a little quieter. But at the end
of the day, I don't fear men. I don't fear
tech companies. I fear God. And so I don't want
(52:21):
to be a whistleblower because whistleblowers get killed, but I
want to be a truth teller. And love people. I
got God, so I don't need to worry about somebody
taking me out or trying to take me off a platform.
I got God, dude.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Did you always feel like that? Or when you were
dealing with sobriety, you started seeing it?
Speaker 3 (52:38):
Nah, more of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Put you in a different light.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
Because before that, it was like, oh, I got to
talk to Brad Pitt at the BAFTA tea party. It's like, dude,
what you learn is the people that ride with you,
ride with you. You have your crew. And everything else
is just noise, basically.
Speaker 13 (52:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Um, but you know, we chase and, and we, you know,
real currency is a chosen pace. When you choose, when
you choose how you are going to walk and live
and you believe God's got you, you don't have to
run after stuff. All the good stuff in my life
from my wife to, uh, some of my really cool
roles I've gotten to do it. It all fell into
(53:16):
the lap. They give actors too much credit, man. We
are just recipients of grace and gifts. A lot of
times where I'll just wake up on a Monday and,
My business manager is like, you got to make some money.
And then a week later on a Tuesday, I got
an offer in my email from somebody I respect.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
And I said, oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 7 (53:33):
Sick.
Speaker 5 (53:34):
What was my last question what's something about Hollywood you
understand now that would have disappointed you when you were
trying to get.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
In something I understand now about Hollywood that would have
disappointed me when I got into it would be it's
never enough you can win the Emmy you still want
the Oscar you can make a million dollars you still
want three million all that stuff that never goes away
but at the end of the day I'm starting to
make peace with the idea that like it's okay that
I'm not Michael B. Jordan it's okay that I'm not
(54:01):
Austin Butler I may never be the dude, you know,
on the post or whatever. But that's not my calling.
My calling is to love people, to take care of
my family, and to entertain you and try to treat
you well. So at the end of the day, that
has to take precedence, which I'm trying to get there.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (54:19):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
It's crazy because you seem, you're so successful.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
Thanks, man. Yeah, I also just want to, I just
want to do a good job. I want to be
the guy, like, there's certain actors and actresses, like, I'm
trying to think of names, like Peter Sarsgaard, who's a
New Yorker, I think. He's not the most famous dude
in the world. He's not making the most money, but
he's always good. Every time you see him, it's like,
thank God this dude showed up. And I just want
to be that guy at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
Well, we appreciate you for joining us this morning.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
So sad that you got to leave so early. You
got to come back if you're in town.
Speaker 3 (54:49):
This is a treat, man. I've been watching y'all for
a long time, and sharing space with you is not
lost on me. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
No, thank you.
Speaker 3 (54:57):
Thank you. Appreciate y'all.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
Congratulations on all your success. It's Paul Walter Hauser. It's
The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 5 (55:02):
Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. Jess is out today,
but Lauren LaRosa is in, and it's time for the
latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Speaker 1 (55:11):
Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets them from somebody
that knows somebody. She gets the details.
Speaker 17 (55:18):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
She be having the latest on you.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 5 (55:26):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (55:29):
What was the latest? Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
On The Breakfast Club. Hi, y'all.
Speaker 20 (55:36):
So let's get into this Halle Berry story. This story
was everywhere yesterday. Halle Berry's ex, Oliver Martinez, was granted
a temporary restraining order against her after he alleged that
she was abusing their 12 year.
Speaker 17 (55:50):
Old son that they share.
Speaker 20 (55:52):
So he alleged that Halle Berry physically abused their son.
Speaker 17 (55:56):
I'm not for sure if I'm saying his name correctly. Masio.
Speaker 20 (56:00):
Now, the allegations are that she Halle Berry jumped on
the baby boy. She put her hands around his neck
and choked him last Saturday. Now, her ex is claiming
that their son called him and claimed that Halle had
physically attacked him and put him in a choke code.
He says that. It's not an isolated incident. And there
have been previous attacks is what he calls them. He
(56:22):
also continues on and says that Hallie has threatened to
have him deported to France and ask their son. What
was their son going to do as a black man
to protect him, to protect her from being robbed by Oliver,
who was his dad?
Speaker 1 (56:35):
Her son black.
Speaker 17 (56:37):
I mean, he's mixed.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
It's mixed.
Speaker 12 (56:38):
Holly's black.
Speaker 17 (56:39):
The dad is African-American.
Speaker 3 (56:40):
Yes.
Speaker 20 (56:41):
So she basically asks the son, what you going to
do when and if your daddy try to rob me?
And then the son alleges that she called his dad
a white B word.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
Bitch ass.
Speaker 17 (56:51):
A white bitch.
Speaker 9 (56:52):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
White bigot would have hit harder. Call your daddy a bigot?
Speaker 1 (56:56):
That's crazy.
Speaker 20 (56:58):
The filing also mentions that there was one time when
the 12-year-old son was home with Holly Berry and her man.
Speaker 17 (57:06):
Ben Hunt.
Speaker 20 (57:06):
And they were playing the VR video game with like
the goggles in his bedroom. And he says that Holly
Berry walked in and she was upset. And she said
that he looked stupid and looked like an idiot, allegedly,
for playing the game. Then the situation escalated from there when.
The situation escalated from there because her ex-boyfriend claims that
(57:27):
Hallie then jumped on their 12 year old son and
started physically fighting him. And he says that she grabbed
him by the neck and started choking him and was shouting, well,
who's dominant now? So, yeah, this order that they had
makes it where she's going to be able to see
their son. But it has to be like a range
visitation until they go to court. On October 16th.
Speaker 1 (57:47):
Let me tell you, right?
Speaker 4 (57:48):
And I don't know what happened, but it sounds like
to me the 12-year-old was feeling himself. And a black
mom did what a black mom does. My mom has
done it to me. My grandmother has done it to me.
I seen Gia yoke up Logan.
Speaker 2 (57:59):
One difference.
Speaker 1 (58:01):
Black mom did it to a— well, you're not black either.
Speaker 2 (58:03):
I am black.
Speaker 5 (58:03):
I'm about to say black mom did it to a
white child. But a black mom doing that to a
white child is never going to play well in America.
Speaker 7 (58:09):
No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (58:10):
But that's still her son.
Speaker 4 (58:11):
And sometimes, you know, a 12-year-old get a little froggy
feeling himself. And sometimes your mother got to put some
hands on you to straighten you out. Yeah, I was born—
I seen Gia do it to Logan. My mama did
it to me. My grandmother did it to me. And
I don't even know how my grandmother had.
Speaker 1 (58:23):
That much strength.
Speaker 5 (58:23):
Yeah, I was born in 1978, and I'll be the
first to tell you that my mother would be in
the news.
Speaker 13 (58:29):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (58:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Mary Ellen grabbed my ass right up. That's grandma. And
had no problem doing it. And said, go tell your
father I did it.
Speaker 17 (58:35):
Your grandmother's name is Mary Ellen?
Speaker 3 (58:36):
Mary Ellen.
Speaker 20 (58:37):
My grandmother's real name, she changed it, but it was
Mary Alice.
Speaker 1 (58:40):
Mary Ellen.
Speaker 7 (58:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (58:41):
Wow okay well there's also some text messages that were
included in his documents and and one of them is
pretty disturbing because the ex uh her child's father texts
holly berry and he's like look he just asked me
to come and pick him up right now are you
okay with that she says no i'm not okay with
it he wants to fight his mother question mark what
kind of kids are we raising as a father asking
what kind of kid is he i'm his mother and
(59:01):
then uh the child's father responds well i don't know
what's happening here what i know is is that you
fight with him way too much then it gets so
crazy then it it says that he's asking her if
she wants to keep their son at her place, even
if he doesn't want to stay. And she's like, yo,
this is wrong. I'm his mother. He has no respect
for me. This should not be okay with you as
his father. This should be a problem.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
If they lived together, she would have said, wait until
your daddy get home. Do you say.
Speaker 17 (59:27):
That about non-black dads? I mean, I haven't experienced that
either way.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
But, yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1 (59:32):
You're right. I don't know.
Speaker 17 (59:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (59:34):
Wait until your dad gets home. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (59:37):
We're going to be playing a VR game together. That
was my problem now.
Speaker 17 (59:41):
That's why my mom had to put me out.
Speaker 1 (59:42):
We're going to be playing a VR game. When it
comes over, we're going to be playing together again.
Speaker 17 (59:44):
That's why my mom had to put me out.
Speaker 2 (59:46):
F-U-N-T-E-N!
Speaker 20 (59:47):
Yeah, well, we'll be following this case because Halle Berry
is pushing back on this and claiming that this is insanity,
that this is going way too far.
Speaker 17 (59:56):
So we'll be following it.
Speaker 1 (59:57):
That's a good question. That's a good study.
Speaker 4 (59:58):
Why are more white parents more lenient than black parents
when it comes to that?
Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
I don't know if they are. We don't know. I've
never been raised by a white parent.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
No, but when I'm out and about, the way sometimes
I hear white kids talk to their parents, like crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Like, I'll be at the game. I'll be at the
soccer game. F you, mom. Shut up, mom. I'll be like, whoa.
You know what's okay?
Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I think about all the times that I got popped
in public. I got backhanded in public, beaten in public. Like,
back then, in our era, it was completely different. You
was raised in the 80s, 90s. It was completely different.
Speaker 20 (01:00:30):
I got beatens, but I feel like my mom didn't
beat us enough, to be honest with y'all.
Speaker 17 (01:00:34):
Now that I hear from other people and what y'all
went through.
Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Oh, now I got weights.
Speaker 17 (01:00:36):
No, especially what I think.
Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
And then think about the psychological torture when your parents
tell you to go pick a switch.
Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
I never had to pick a switch.
Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
And you got to go outside and look at the
tree and pick something that's suitable to whip your ass.
Speaker 23 (01:00:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Because if you didn't come back with the proper switch,
then they was going to go get it. Nah.
Speaker 17 (01:00:54):
You know what gets crazy when you're crying hard? And
she's like, keep crying. I'm going to give you something
to cry about.
Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
I'm already crying.
Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
I hate that.
Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
I'm going to give you something to cry about.
Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
I don't want to cry.
Speaker 20 (01:01:03):
And she really would give you something else to cry about?
Speaker 17 (01:01:06):
Yo, all right, wow.
Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Sometimes I remember being young and wishing, why can't I
just get grounded like white kids?
Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
See?
Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Go to your room.
Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Why can't I just go to my room?
Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
I'm going to my room.
Speaker 17 (01:01:18):
She coming after me.
Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
She coming in that room.
Speaker 17 (01:01:21):
All right, y'all. Real quick before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
One last thing.
Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Do you ever slam the door on your parents? Oh,
I have. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 11 (01:01:26):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
You slam the door.
Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 17 (01:01:28):
I'm telling you, my mom had to put me out.
My mom put me out when I was younger. You
deserve it.
Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 17 (01:01:33):
I'm telling you, I deserve to be beat a little
bit more.
Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
You slam the door one time by accident.
Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
You don't close no door in my mama trailer. My
mom took the door off the hinges before.
Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
I locked it.
Speaker 17 (01:01:43):
She took my door off. I didn't have a door
for like three months.
Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
Yeah, that's something I would do. I would definitely take
the door off the hinges. I would take the lights out,
the light bulb. If they didn't turn off the lights,
I'd take all the light bulbs out.
Speaker 18 (01:01:52):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Y'all ain't get beat enough then.
Speaker 9 (01:01:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
You never get beat with an extension cord and then
they make you go take a bath. You wouldn't try
no stupid stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
That is abuse, sir.
Speaker 17 (01:01:59):
Extinction cord is crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
That is abuse.
Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
No, it was called being raised in the 1900s.
Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
That is abuse. That reminds me of Penny from Good Times.
You got abused abuse.
Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
I tell my 11-year-old dad all the time, you lucky
you wasn't born in the 90s. If you was raised
in the 1900s, boy.
Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Boy, I oughta.
Speaker 7 (01:02:12):

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
1-800-585-1051. Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
Yo, it's DJ Walt.
Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
What's up, sir? How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Yo, man.
Speaker 15 (01:03:20):
I'm good, fam. I'm good, fam. Yo, I've been an
avid listener to you guys since I was back in
Delaware a couple years, way back in 2013, 14. But look,
here's the thing, fam. DJ Envy, you got to come
to the front of the congregation, bro.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
But I do.
Speaker 15 (01:03:36):
You got to get this e-hall because you can't be
saying get your ass up against a Kirk Franklin, dog. Like,
come on, man.
Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
I said wake your ass up. But, I mean, Kirk Franklin,
it's a gospel.
Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
It's a good song.
Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
But I still said wake your ass up.
Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
It is, man.
Speaker 15 (01:03:49):
But you can't say get your ass up, man.
Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
I said wake your ass up.
Speaker 15 (01:03:52):
Come on, man. Don't give me none of that beige, Ray.
And then second of all, I got another keyhole for y'all.
Where is the Goon Tunes, man? Y'all got to do
it once a year.
Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
We ain't did Goon Tunes in years.
Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (01:04:04):
Come on, man.
Speaker 15 (01:04:05):
We got to do it one time for the new listeners.
Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
We used to sing the Friday song.
Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
We used to sing Katy Perry last Friday night and
Rebecca Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
I was thinking about that the other day, though. If
we were to do Goon Tunes.
Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
Now, I would change it.
Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
I would change it.
Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
You know what song it would be?
Speaker 17 (01:04:20):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 15 (01:04:21):
What it be?
Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
Dolly Parton, 9 to 5. For all the working class people.
Speaker 15 (01:04:25):
Run that today, man. Just give them something, man. Give
them something, man. Let your folks know what it.
Speaker 18 (01:04:30):
Is, yo.
Speaker 15 (01:04:31):
This is old school breakfast club right here.
Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Okay. We appreciate that, brother. All right, man.
Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Shout out.
Speaker 15 (01:04:36):
Y'all keep doing your thing.
Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Peace.
Speaker 15 (01:04:39):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Who's this?
Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Good day. Good day.
Speaker 22 (01:04:42):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
Peace. Peace. How are you?
Speaker 17 (01:04:44):
I'm blessed.
Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Who you want to get the biggest hee-haw to?
Speaker 19 (01:04:47):
I'm giving the donkey to all of these parents who
is not teaching their kids proper hygiene and sending them
to school stink.
Speaker 21 (01:04:53):
Damn.
Speaker 19 (01:04:54):
Teach them how to wash their unarmed stink. Teach them
how to brush their teeth and take them.
Speaker 17 (01:04:58):
To the dentist.
Speaker 19 (01:04:59):
They brush stink. So the more the parents with special
needs kids that send their kids to school unkempt.
Speaker 7 (01:05:07):
You get all the donkeys.
Speaker 15 (01:05:08):
Okay?
Speaker 19 (01:05:08):
Because why your child got the whole dinkle berry forest
in his donkey?
Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
Damn.
Speaker 9 (01:05:12):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
God damn.
Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Now, listen, are we factoring in poverty in this situation?
Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
A lot of people.
Speaker 19 (01:05:17):
That don't mean nothing because I've poured water to take
a hot shower before.
Speaker 8 (01:05:21):
So I don't want to hear none of that.
Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Hey, where you calling from?
Speaker 8 (01:05:26):
South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
I heard you. I can hear the Geechee in your voice.
Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
You calling from the Lowcountry. What part of the Lowcountry?
Speaker 17 (01:05:31):
Goose Creek.
Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Goose Creek.
Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Okay, salute to the 843.
Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
They got bunkies in Goose Creek.
Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Boy, shut up.
Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
We invented bunkies. Wait, okay, what are you talking about?
What the hell is he talking about? What school you
teach at? What school you teach at?
Speaker 14 (01:05:43):
You know what?
Speaker 19 (01:05:44):
I don't want to go into all of that because
I talk about these churns.
Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Yeah, I understand. I understand.
Speaker 7 (01:05:49):
I understand.
Speaker 19 (01:05:49):
Just make sure you make sure your churn is washed
up and they got on deodorant and you're taking them
to the dentist and make sure your child get a
proper haircut and you brush them in here because the
foster flakes up top ain't good either.
Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
I will say, though, that is true, man.
Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
You know, growing up in South Carolina, even if we
didn't have much money, boy, you still had to be clean.
Speaker 7 (01:06:07):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
You can't be stinking.
Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Now, you can't embarrass your parents and go nowhere stinking.
Speaker 19 (01:06:11):
You make more choice to hire the whole fashion.
Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Show You see what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
Walking in that school smelling like nanny.
Speaker 14 (01:06:17):
No bueno.
Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Have a good day. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Who's this?
Speaker 14 (01:06:26):
Hi, this is Alicia.
Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Hey, who you want to give the biggest seahawk to?
Speaker 14 (01:06:30):
I want to give the biggest seahawk to these politicians
because they all acting up.
Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Which ones? Federal politicians, local level, who?
Speaker 14 (01:06:38):
Well, I can't trust none of them. So who do
you vote for? They're all talking about stuff.
Speaker 18 (01:06:44):
That they're not coming through with their promises. They're promising stuff.
They're just not doing what they.
Speaker 17 (01:06:49):
Say they're doing.
Speaker 14 (01:06:50):
So how do you trust them?
Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Well, this is what I would tell people going into
the midterms.
Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
You know, I would I would go out there and
treat it like business. And what I'm looking for in
my business is I want to vote for somebody who
is talking about affordability. I want to vote for somebody
who's talking about protecting democracy. And I want to vote
for somebody who's talking about keeping us safe.
Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
It's really simple for me.
Speaker 8 (01:07:14):
OK, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
That makes sense.
Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
I've heard it through the years.
Speaker 18 (01:07:21):
That's probably why a lot of people don't vote. I
know that's why my son doesn't vote.
Speaker 14 (01:07:26):
Because it's like they say all these things.
Speaker 15 (01:07:29):
You go in, you vote, you do what you're supposed to.
Speaker 14 (01:07:33):
But then at the end of the day, once they
get there, nothing happens.
Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Well, things do happen.
Speaker 5 (01:07:37):
I mean, I mean, I think we're, we're realizing right
now how much elections have consequences, right? Like, you know,
you think things can't get worse, but they absolutely can.
So I know that, you know, you don't want to
vote for somebody that's going to keep the status quo,
but right now I'll take that status quo over authoritarianism.
Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
I agree.
Speaker 15 (01:07:54):
I agree.
Speaker 7 (01:07:55):
That's true.
Speaker 18 (01:07:56):
I mean, I grew up in, uh, partly in Jamaica, uh,
in Jamaica, they're very corrupt.
Speaker 14 (01:08:03):
Uh, My parents took me away from in the 80s.
It seems like that's what's happening here.
Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Oh, no, not seems.
Speaker 5 (01:08:11):
The levels of corruption from the Trump administration are unheard
of right now. So, like I said, man, you know,
you don't have to fall in love with none of
these elected officials, but just listen to what they're talking about.
The ones that are talking about affordability, the ones that
are talking about protecting democracy, keeping us safe, that's who
I'm voting for.
Speaker 18 (01:08:28):
But then mental illness is.
Speaker 11 (01:08:32):
On the rise.
Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
That is very true. But to me, that's all part of,
you know, the financial conversation. Like, who is going to
make sure we have resources going to our communities?
Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Like, before things like mental health.
Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (01:08:46):
I mean, I created an app. I talked to you
about it the other day.
Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (01:08:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 14 (01:08:50):
I mean, right now, I'm doing volunteer work in this
place that.
Speaker 18 (01:08:54):
Is a tiny community for the homeless people.
Speaker 14 (01:08:58):
And to qualify, you just have to.
Speaker 18 (01:09:00):
be on the streets for more than a year here
in Austin, Texas, and have some kind of disability.
Speaker 14 (01:09:06):
And you get a free house for life.
Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Damn.
Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
What kind of disability? I can just start limping?
Speaker 14 (01:09:12):
Any kind of disability.
Speaker 18 (01:09:13):
As long as you get in a check, you get
a free tiny home, and they build it for you.
Speaker 14 (01:09:18):
I know I'm giving them.
Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
You ain't saying tiny home.
Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
You said house.
Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Now you're saying tiny home.
Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Right.
Speaker 14 (01:09:25):
But it's a home for these people that are on
the street.
Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
That is true. Where is this at?
Speaker 14 (01:09:29):
This is in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Austin, Texas. I'm looking that up right now. Yeah. I mean.
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (01:09:36):
Now it says in Austin, there's no completely free tiny
home program for people with disabilities, but they do have
low cost and subsidized options that exist for individuals who
are chronically homeless.
Speaker 13 (01:09:46):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Who's this? Hey, what's up, man?
Speaker 11 (01:09:48):
It's Hassan.
Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Hassan.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Who you want to get the biggest hee-haw to, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
You.
Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
What'd I do?
Speaker 16 (01:09:53):
All right, so y'all had a topic about Diddy when
y'all was talking about him getting caught with contraband and
stuff like that. And you kept saying, oh, this is
going to affect his appeal. This is going to affect
his appeal.
Speaker 15 (01:10:06):
And I'm sitting there.
Speaker 11 (01:10:07):
I'm like, man, I wish I could call.
Speaker 16 (01:10:09):
In and tell him that he wrong for saying that
because it won't affect his appeal.
Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
He in a.
Speaker 11 (01:10:16):
Federal prison.
Speaker 16 (01:10:18):
So the judge is ruling on what happened in his trial,
not what's happening inside of the prison. The judge is
ruling on if anything that happened in his trial can
cause him to have a new trial.
Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
She don't care or.
Speaker 16 (01:10:33):
He don't care about if Diddy got Hennessy or caught
with a cell phone in jail. So that won't affect
his appeal at all.
Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
I just wanted to call in. That's why I said I.
Speaker 11 (01:10:43):
Wanted to call in.
Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Get it off your chest, not donkey. I'm glad that
you believe in the judicial system in that way.
Speaker 16 (01:10:51):
Well, no, it's not that I believe in the judicial
system that way. I'm just saying I know I've been
through it. So I'm just saying, like, the judge is
ruling on what happened in the trial. The judge, they
can't rule on what's going on inside the judge. Now,
let me give you a scenario. If Diddy was going up,
if he was going up for parole to be released,
(01:11:14):
that can affect him being released from the prison, like
his release date, you know what I'm saying? But the
appeal has nothing to do with what's going on inside
of The prison, the appeal.
Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Has to do with what happened in his trial.
Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
That's all the appeal has to do with.
Speaker 5 (01:11:31):
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think the better
conversation is it shouldn't have anything to do with his appeal.
But trust me, it will. You know what I'm saying?
All right, bro.
Speaker 15 (01:11:42):
I hear what you're saying, right?
Speaker 16 (01:11:44):
But I'm just telling you, I've been through it.
Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
I know it.
Speaker 16 (01:11:46):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Like, that's not going to affect his appeal, brother.
Speaker 16 (01:11:49):
I just want, I just, trust me.
Speaker 7 (01:11:51):
I know.
Speaker 5 (01:11:52):
I don't trust the judicial system to do the right thing,
but I hear you.
Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
All right now.
Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Yes, sir. All right now.
Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
God damn. How you turn, what?
Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
That's the People's Donkey. We do that every Friday, 1-800-585-1051.
Speaker 5 (01:12:04):
You can call up and give somebody the credit they
deserve for being stupid.
Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Now, when we come back, who we got?
Speaker 4 (01:12:11):

Millions and millions.

Of dollars and yes we were hit with a federal
lawsuit so that's why i was here and i did
not know we were the beginning of this anti-dei movement

Now you're telling your story you have a new book
called fearless freedom yes what did you learn from the
fearless fund lawsuit that that actually i guess scared.
Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
You One thing I learned that I do talk about
in the book, that when you're going through a storm,
that you only have time to talk to people who
can solve your problem.
Speaker 17 (01:13:43):
Man. Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
I don't need to do that in a storm. I'll
do that in the sunshine.
Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
I ain't talking about anybody that can't help me solve
my problem.
Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
No, seriously, because you allow distractions to interrupt your result.
So I definitely learned that. I learned that elections are
extremely consequential.
Speaker 7 (01:14:03):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
I went through a federal court case and literally every
judge that ruled against us was a Trump appointed judge.
Every Obama, every Clinton appointed judge ruled in our favor.
Speaker 17 (01:14:14):
I said, can y'all give me a Bush appointed judge? Like,
what is this?
Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
But the last administration and prior to the Biden administration,
they put in like 200 and something federal judges.
Speaker 17 (01:14:24):
And that's what the result of that was. I was
living in.
Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
In a Biden administration, but dealing with the consequences and
actions that took place in the Trump administration.
Speaker 11 (01:14:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Was that part of the reason you decided to go
to another continent?
Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
I've been back and forth to Africa for over a decade.
And I've always knew at some point I wanted to
be in both places. And then I ended up marrying
a Ghanaian, too. But I actually met my husband one day.
I was looking for like an apartment there.
Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
So, yes.
Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
What made you think, I need to have this just
in case? Oh, what I was dealing with.
Speaker 17 (01:14:59):
Oh, I got multiple citizenships and everything.
Speaker 12 (01:15:01):
I got to get up out of here.
Speaker 17 (01:15:03):
I got to get up out of here. I'm Grenadian.
I'm a lot of stuff. Because I said, if I
need options. I want to make sure I have them.
Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Was the government coming at you that bad where you said,
I'm going to need these options?
Speaker 11 (01:15:14):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:15:14):
I mean, it was to the point where people were
surveillance in my house. I had to have detail.
Speaker 17 (01:15:19):
It was a lot. I said, why is this work
this disruptive?
Speaker 6 (01:15:23):
And then I had to remember before the fearless fund existed,
the average fundraise for a black woman was only $ 30, 000.
Speaker 17 (01:15:29):
We came on a scene cutting million dollar checks.
Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
And then on top of that, there were only 34
black women, whoever had raised a million dollars before we existed.
By the next year, we were at 99 and a
lot of these people were ours. And I don't know
why that little bit of what I would consider small
piece of a pie would be so disturbing, but it
clearly caused all this disruption.
Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
What did that experience.
Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
Teach you about how America really views targeted economic opportunity?
Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
And what I mean by that is like, you know,
people tell us, to build wealth, right? Black people, build wealth,
build wealth, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Then you
have an organization that's trying to help us do that.
But then now you're being targeted because you did it.
Speaker 17 (01:16:08):
You're correct.
Speaker 6 (01:16:08):
So what it let me know that it's not just
enough for us to build things. We have to have
the resources to defend what we build. And I learned
that because we saw Black Wall Street, but we couldn't
defend it. You know, so it's not just enough for
us to build. We're great at building communities. We're great
at coalition building. We're great at building systems, supporting each
other's businesses. But if we don't have the resources to
(01:16:29):
defend it, we leave ourselves vulnerable.
Speaker 17 (01:16:32):
And that's what I learned from that.
Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
How much did you spend in defending your business?
Speaker 17 (01:16:38):
I don't mind.
Speaker 6 (01:16:40):
It wasn't even just that. We had some of our
attorneys were pro bono. Some were not. But it was
more so what it cost us in general. And for me,
any amount of money is worth our liberation. So I
had to keep that in mind. But when we got
in the court case, I think I had just closed
on $ 23 million and I had about $ 100 plus million
(01:17:01):
in diligence.
Speaker 17 (01:17:03):
I had to risk that.
Speaker 6 (01:17:05):
Because people, of course, didn't want to put money into
a vehicle that's in a legal situation.
Speaker 17 (01:17:10):
And I was like, oh my gosh. I'm like, you
can either.
Speaker 6 (01:17:14):
fold right now, or are you going to have to
be willing to risk this money?
Speaker 17 (01:17:17):
And I had to take that risk.
Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
What were they looking for?
Speaker 17 (01:17:19):
We lost a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
What were they looking for?
Speaker 6 (01:17:21):
They were looking to stop race-based funding, as he was
even stating, and even gender-based funding.
Speaker 17 (01:17:28):
So had we lost, luckily the case got.
Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
Permanently dismissed after 13 months, but had we lost at
the Supreme Court level, it would have done what his
previous case did, was when he won at the Supreme
Court level, and they eliminated affirmative action at all the colleges.
Speaker 13 (01:17:42):
Hmm.
Speaker 17 (01:17:43):
So they were looking to stop this completely.
Speaker 6 (01:17:45):
Race-based funding and gender-based funding, which would have stopped millions
and millions of dollars from coming into our communities.
Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
Can you educate the stupid real quick? And by the stupid,
I mean the people who will say, well, you know,
if you have a fund that invests specifically in black women,
what if I had a fund that only wanted to
invest in white men?
Speaker 6 (01:18:01):
Well, the reason why it's problematic is because we're actually
solving a disparity. This wouldn't exist if the disparity didn't exist.
And black people in America may be a minority, but
globally we are a majority. We're like around 20 percent.
I know the Asian and Chinese community are right behind us.
But when you suppress and oppress the majority of the people,
(01:18:23):
it's no good for the whole. So you have to
make sure that that demographic has the resources that they need.
Speaker 17 (01:18:29):
Because they're going to be the ones who have to
lift everybody else up.
Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Do you believe DEI is disappearing or is the language
around it simply changing?
Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Because that's what some of these corporations will say.
Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Like, we didn't actually roll it. We didn't get rid
of them. We just had to change the language because
we didn't want to be targeted by the federal government.
Speaker 6 (01:18:45):
We will know the true answer to that probably in
about five years when we see the results. But what
I can say that research has said, Harvard has studies
that say when you take away race conscious programming, that
the black race gets left behind. So we will see
the numbers and the effects on this very soon. But
while that has been true in the past, The pendulum
(01:19:06):
is going to have to swing only because the.
Speaker 17 (01:19:09):
Country is becoming more black and brown.
Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
That's right.
Speaker 17 (01:19:11):
So at some point, for people to survive.
Speaker 6 (01:19:15):
And for companies to thrive, they'll be forced to figure
it out if they don't want to choose to.
Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Figure it out.
Speaker 4 (01:19:20):
What's the most difficult thing that you see for black
entrepreneurs and black businessmen at all?
Speaker 17 (01:19:26):
It's just simply that, the access to capital.
Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
Is it capital or is it also the relationships?
Speaker 6 (01:19:31):
I think that's the biggest pain point. You're right when
you say relationships. So I tell people all the time,
a lot of times these stats exist. Even if you
take racism and sexism out of it, there's proximity. So
just the networks in itself, you may not have the
access to those networks.
Speaker 17 (01:19:50):
But the biggest pain point is still the capital.
Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Because when you hear somebody talk about an IPO, and
I always wonder if those IPOs were offered to us first, right?
Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Or do you hear.
Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
real estate industry, or you hear somebody investing into a company,
when you hear these brands that, you know, IPO and
make all this money, I'm like, I wonder if that
was offered us to us as well as to those
other companies.
Speaker 6 (01:20:10):
I'll say this though. And I feel very strongly about this.
We have to solve this money problem.
Speaker 17 (01:20:17):
Because when you.
Speaker 6 (01:20:17):
Come to the table with economic power, you're always in
a position to negotiate. The Jewish community can negotiate anything,
even if they're two to three percent of the population
because of their economic power. So when you say, is
it relationships? But see, that money will start unlocking some
relationships that didn't exist. So that's why I said if
we can get the money right first, it opens up
(01:20:38):
so many other opportunities. You can come to the table
and negotiate your voting rights. You can negotiate your health
care rights. Anything you want to negotiate, you're in position to.
But we can't keep as a community coming to the
table from an inferior position because that's what happens. You
don't have as much to leverage.
Speaker 5 (01:20:55):
If these corporations continue to back away from DEI, is
the answer to convince them.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
To come back?
Speaker 23 (01:21:01):
No.
Speaker 6 (01:21:04):
I don't think the answer is to necessarily convince them.
They're going to be forced. Like I said, even if
they don't choose it, just due to the demographics and
the way things are growing.
Speaker 17 (01:21:15):
I don't know. Maybe I just don't like the posture
of begging. So maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's
what it is for me. So they're going to do
it regardless. The pendulum's going to swing.
Speaker 1 (01:21:24):
Yeah, this administration is not going to be in forever.
Speaker 6 (01:21:26):
At some point, and even if they were, like I said,
we're going to be so overpopulated that you're going to
have to figure out how are you going to have customers?
How are you going to cater to this audience? You're
going to be forced to figure it out at some point.
It may be 10 years from now, but if you
don't choose it, you will be forced. So I don't
think it's a need to ask. Either you're going to
stand by what is a business case or not. I
(01:21:46):
asked actually Costco the other day, the staff there. I said,
what made y'all stand strong? They're investors in both our funds.
What made you stand strong through all this? And they said,
we don't even view it as standing strong.
Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
It's just good business.
Speaker 6 (01:21:57):
They said, the business case itself is enough for us
to pursue our business this way.
Speaker 15 (01:22:03):
Period.
Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
That's right.
Speaker 17 (01:22:04):
I was like, okay.
Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
And I just feel like black people, that's why I
love what y'all do, because I just feel like black
people should be building enough capital that we don't.
Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Need corporate America's permission to do anything.
Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
Oh yeah, we've got to become self-sufficient. But like I said,
in addition to being self-sufficient, we got to be able
to defend it. Because the second that you build it,
If somebody comes to get you, you can't be vulnerable.
Speaker 20 (01:22:24):
How are you having conversations with people about the mind
state around money? Like we have these capitalist conversations and
people talk certain ways. When you start making money, when
you bring your money into your business about you and
your business, how do you change that thinking so that
we know that we should be out here getting all
this money in and coming up and things.
Speaker 17 (01:22:40):
And it's okay to do that.
Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
When you ask that question, it, made me realize or
reminded me of how often people call it selling out
when you sell your company.
Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
Lord have mercy.
Speaker 17 (01:22:51):
He said, Lord have mercy. And it's really you selling up.
You ain't selling out. You just gaining more wealth.
Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
You can't sell out if you're going to buy in.
Speaker 6 (01:22:59):
But I think over time, people are starting to get that.
I hope we've gotten out of that. I still think
some of it is still there. I'm not in disagreement
with you. But I think that our level of exposure,
our reach, our Internet, everything now is where we can
see it. We can see it now. I see when
people set up, it's less backlash as before. So it's
(01:23:20):
getting less and less.
Speaker 17 (01:23:21):
But it needs to eliminate. Because right now, it's a blessing.
Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
But it goes back to the capital conversation.
Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
You start a business, you grow it, you scale it,
you sell it, you get the capital. And now you
got more capital to reinvest into your community. That's my mentality.
Speaker 20 (01:23:35):
Some people don't know, business owners don't know the difference
between having a good business and having a business that
is investable.
Speaker 17 (01:23:40):
Like you can invest in it. Because sometimes it's different. Well,
a good business should be investable.
Speaker 20 (01:23:45):
Yeah, but I think sometimes people think, I mean, maybe
it's like a personal thing. Like I've met people who
have a great business. They have customers, they're profiting. But
when they go out to people for investments, people are
like poking holes across their business plan and their business
maps and they don't want to invest in it just yet.
They're like, oh, come back, you know, next year or
Q4 or whatever, when we see a bit more of
(01:24:05):
whatever it is that you're doing.
Speaker 6 (01:24:07):
That's just part of like we're saying the restrictions of
access to capital. That person that you're describing isn't doing
anything wrong. You know, the fact that somebody's not willing
to give them a loan or invest and whatnot, that's
not a signal that they're doing something wrong. You can
have a completely healthy business and still be running up
against that obstacle. Matter of fact, we've even invested in
somebody who's dealing with that now. She has a contract
(01:24:28):
she recently got for $ 20 million ARR three years in
a row and looking for investors.
Speaker 17 (01:24:36):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
Wow.
Speaker 17 (01:24:38):
So it happens to good businesses all the time. That's
not like a sign that somebody is not investable.
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
This is my last question.
Speaker 5 (01:24:45):
If fearless freedom works exactly the way you want it to,
what does somebody stop being afraid.
Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Of after they read it?
Speaker 17 (01:24:52):
It's a few things.
Speaker 23 (01:24:53):
Yikes.
Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
I would say people stop being afraid of having difficult
conversations because I go over what the spirit of fear
is costing us. And I said, if you really write
down what your fear is costing you, you'll realize it's
too expensive to operate that way.
Speaker 16 (01:25:09):
Hmm.
Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
So that's one thing I can say. What I'm excited
about this book doing in the earth, I have a
whole playbook in here. Though the court case may be
the backdrop, it shows you in the book of how
we can actually have an equitable society. I have policy examples.
I give a roadmap for government. I give a roadmap
for corporations. I give a roadmap for VCs, like that
(01:25:31):
this is really something possible that we can actually achieve.
So I'm excited about that. And for everyday person, what
I'm excited about is the fact that everybody's dealing with
pivots right now. Everybody's dealing with failure right now. We
have 600,000 black women not even employed right now. This
book gives you that kind of encouragement that, okay, if
I can pivot, I saw this story this woman went through.
(01:25:53):
I can keep going. So I'm looking to see all of,
all of the catalytic inspiration and empowerment that's going to
come from it.
Speaker 3 (01:26:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Well, thank you for joining us this morning. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:26:02):
Go get fearless freedom right now. A manifesto for unlocking
wealth and equality for all.
Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
That's right. It's Arian Simone and it's the breakfast club.
Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy,
we are The Breakfast Club, it's time for Pass The Oaks!
Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
Speaker 17 (01:26:23):
Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
Big Nyla, come on. Big Nyla, NYLA.
Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Y'all 1990 now. He's getting old.
Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
We a little delayed.
Speaker 7 (01:26:38):
Sugar night.
Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
A little delayed.
Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
I was looking at somebody that Nyla ain't playing, but
I was just like, damn.
Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
Why does he always do stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
No, because we was listening to somebody else playing.
Speaker 17 (01:26:47):
Yeah, we was just listening.
Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
You just came in.
Speaker 17 (01:26:48):
I came into the equation and tried to make the
block hot like that.
Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
That's right, but go ahead.
Speaker 17 (01:26:51):
It's scary. It's fire.
Speaker 12 (01:26:53):
I just, when I see you, I think of, like,
brown sugar. It's scary.
Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
It's fire.
Speaker 17 (01:26:56):
Yeah, Charlamagne telling me to go cut some lines in it.
Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
I low-key want you to.
Speaker 12 (01:27:00):
No, he wants you to look like a five-heart beat
soul band.
Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
Like Kirk Franklin.
Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
The side of Kirk Franklin or, like, Bruno Mars, like,
the part like that.
Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
Don't do Robert Townsend.
Speaker 7 (01:27:08):
Don't do Robert Townsend.
Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
I need something.
Speaker 13 (01:27:09):
Something.
Speaker 17 (01:27:09):
I need to say something.
Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
It look fire.
Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
No, it's cute.
Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
You better not put no part in your hair like that. Man,
get a part, man.
Speaker 17 (01:27:15):
I don't know about a part, but I do want, like, a... Something.
Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
You want to zhuzh it up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
I got you.
Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
You know, you can't get that back if you zhuzh it, though.
If you put a design in, you got to let
it grow back.
Speaker 12 (01:27:24):
Her hair grows so fast.
Speaker 25 (01:27:26):
It did grow back fast. That's why I got to
gel it. Extra, extra gel it down. Because now I'm
at least at, like, this much.
Speaker 12 (01:27:31):
Yeah, your hair grow fast.
Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Okay.
Speaker 17 (01:27:33):
Anyway. All right, so let's get into these songs.
Speaker 25 (01:27:36):
I want to start off with Mark Lux, who's a
really big rapper out on the West Coast.
Speaker 12 (01:27:39):
He got a new record called On Point.
Speaker 24 (01:27:43):
I like that.
Speaker 12 (01:27:46):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Is that hyphy? Would that be considered hyphy?
Speaker 12 (01:27:48):
Yeah, I was about to ask the same thing.
Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
It's definitely giving Bay Area.
Speaker 25 (01:27:52):
West Coast a little bit of hyphy.
Speaker 7 (01:27:55):
I like that, man.
Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Definitely giving Bay Area West Coast.
Speaker 12 (01:27:57):
For sure shout out to.
Speaker 25 (01:27:58):
It Mark Lux is really really dope and I feel
like he's in like the class of rap that I
really love he just on the west so it'd be
hard to get to him but I feel like between
that and watching The Drop you know is doing.
Speaker 24 (01:28:09):
Oh yeah you've been watching it I've been watching it
so I'm only in the third episode don't tell me
don't tell me it's crazy it's getting crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
My guy's a problem and glasses they gonna be up here.
Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
This week actually yeah glasses oh nice I'm wearing these
this week too Oh, dope.
Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
They're all on the drop.
Speaker 17 (01:28:22):
All right.
Speaker 25 (01:28:23):
Well, next, let's get into this new record from Nipah. Now,
Nipah's originally from London, but he's been living in New York,
I think, the past few months. This record is called Bittersweet.
Speaker 12 (01:28:36):
I can do a few things to this. I can
cook to this. I can strut, catwalk to this.
Speaker 17 (01:28:40):
All types of stuff.
Speaker 12 (01:28:41):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
It's cool.
Speaker 12 (01:28:42):
Yeah, it's different, but I really do like it. It's cool.
It's cool. He can sing. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:28:48):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 17 (01:28:49):
So yeah, that's Nipah.
Speaker 25 (01:28:51):
New to America, but he's been making music for a
while now, and I've always been a fan. But the
last one I'm going to get into is one of
Drake's new songs that he premiered on that mini documentary.
Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
Okay. OVO Eli must have gave this one to you.
Speaker 25 (01:29:04):
I cannot confirm or deny, but just know, you know,
he's keeping me hip to all the things OVO for sure.
Speaker 12 (01:29:10):
And this record is called Truth in Texas featuring Don Toliver.
Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
Don Toliver never misses to me. I love Don Toliver.
Shout out to Drake too for this.
Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
Don Toliver, I feel like he's that icing on the cake,
that cherry on top.
Speaker 12 (01:29:30):
I love what he does with his voice. I like
Don Sullivan.
Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
I'm a Don Sullivan fan.
Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
No, get through it. They sampled, right? Yeah, get through it.
Speaker 12 (01:29:35):
I feel like those records always hit. Like, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 24 (01:29:39):
It's a lot of them out there. Like, Don Sullivan
always does this type of mood with his songs.
Speaker 12 (01:29:44):
But what the hell was Drake saying?
Speaker 25 (01:29:46):
I think he was slurring a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Drunk, tipsy, high.
Speaker 4 (01:29:52):
I don't love those Drake records. I get it because
I know a lot of people do. But I like
more of the uptempo. I get it because that's going
to be one of the records that all the girls
are going to be singing.
Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
But if he did his.
Speaker 6 (01:30:00):
Regular poetry thing, he already got like a monotone voice
where he can just like get on there and talk
it smooth.
Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
You know, talk smooth.
Speaker 12 (01:30:05):
But he ain't had to sound like he had a
medical issue.
Speaker 17 (01:30:07):
This was catered to Texas.
Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
Yeah, it's catered to Texas. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 25 (01:30:11):
And Don's from Texas, so.
Speaker 13 (01:30:14):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
Oh, Don is? Yes, he is.
Speaker 12 (01:30:15):
Oh, okay, fire.
Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
Yeah, Don and Salute to Don, Talibah, Salute to Young Josh, man.
Young Josh used to call Breakfast Club all the time,
but then they also used to be out in front
of the radio station and, you know, giving us music
and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
So it's good to see them. Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Don blow the way that he blew.
Speaker 1 (01:30:31):

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
Young Josh.
Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
Young Josh, yeah, Young Josh.
Speaker 5 (01:30:35):
Last time when we had Don up here, maybe a
year ago, two years ago, he said, how many young
guys still cool?
Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (01:30:42):
Shout out to Don Tyler. He didn't know you from Texas.

Yeah.

They're bringing me and Pinky Cole from Slutty Vegan to

the mud, building business through all of that.

What if they think y'all a group?
Speaker 17 (01:34:24):

Speaker 12 (01:34:27):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 20 (01:34:29):
Don't. Sometimes you don't have to just say. Sometimes you
can literally say nothing and it will be felt.
Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
Literally. Silence!
Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34:38):

more enjoyable.

entire future, okay?

somewhere new. Change your mind.
Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
