What's that to me?

Speaker 9 (03:03):
Good morning, MV Josh all the mean, how y'all doing this?
Good morning?

Speaker 10 (03:08):
All right?

Speaker 9 (03:08):
So we started this morning in Texas, where Congresswoman Jasmine
Crockett is officially entering the race for the United States Senate,
and she launched her campaign yesterday under the slogan Texas Tough,
saying she's a Democrat best position to turn out voters
and build what she calls a multiracial, multi generation coalition
across the state that Crockett says her focus will be

(03:29):
on bringing down the cost of living, expanding opportunity, and
holding President Donald Trump accountable. Let's listen to some of
her speech from yesterday.

Speaker 11 (03:38):
He has ridded our elections once again by changing the
lines in the middle of an election cycle, and the
cherry on the top.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Trump drew me.

Speaker 11 (03:46):
Out of my home district. I know he's tired of
me holding him accountable, dismantling his lives, and I know
he's tired of me breaking through to millions of Americans,
tired of me getting people out to vote, tired of
me living in his head renfree, mister President, you couldn't
beat me at the ballot box. And so as y'all
know a judge that you appointed, mister President, he said

(04:07):
your maps were unconstitutional, but you ran it up to
your loyal activist cronies at the Supreme Court. Well, Trump,
I know you're watching, so let me tell you directly,
You're not entitled to a damn.

Speaker 9 (04:20):
Thing in Texas.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
You better get to work because I'm coming for.

Speaker 12 (04:23):
You, Okay.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Jasmine has nothing to lose in this situation. She's playing
with house money.

Speaker 13 (04:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I mean that at the least, it's going to increase
her profile. You know, She's like, Jasmine has nothing to
lose in this situation.

Speaker 9 (04:36):
And speaking a profile, she enters the race with a
national profile. She's been one of the most outspoken Democratic
critics of Donald Trump and House Republicans, so she's now
considered the front runner after another A candidate, Collin alra
alred he dropped out yesterday. An early polling though it
shows that she has a path to win, but that
visibility also comes with political risk. Republicans have resurfaced some

(04:58):
of her past comments and on already framing her as
the candidate they think that they can beat. Now Crockett,
she's brushing off those attacks, saying she is in the
strongest position to defeat whoever survives the Republican fight. And
speaking of fight, she still has a road ahead of
her because that's there's two major hurdles, two key dates
to remember before we get to that general election. So

(05:20):
on March third, Democratic voters in Texas they will pick
their nominee for Senate. And right now the race is
between Crockett and state Representative James tell Rico. And to
win outright, either one of those two candidates will have
to get fifty percent more of the vote now no one.
If no one crosses at fifty percent mark, then there
will be a runoff on May twenty six, and that

(05:42):
race will decide who officially will face the Republican nominee
in November.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And I was watching the Fox News yesterday.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I was watching a Will Kine show and they had
a segment where they were discussing Jasmin Crockett, and they
were discussing how do you attack a black woman in
this race? Like literally that was the segment and the
guy on there who was saying, you don't have to.
All we gotta do is play things she already said.
And they started playing like a lot of her old clips,
and I was just like, that just makes me like
her even.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
More, do you know what I'm saying. I was like, Oh,
she said that. Okay, yeah, yeah, she really about that action.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (06:15):
Yeah, they're gonna have a hard time finding some ammunition there.
And speaking of critics of Jasmine Crockett, Marjorie Taylor Green
is speaking out as she prepares to leave Congress. She's
now taking direct aim at her own party and President Trump.
In a sixty minutes interview, Green said many Republicans are
terrified to step out of line. Let's listen to what

(06:35):
she had to say.

Speaker 14 (06:37):
I think they're terrified to step out of line and
get a nasty truth social post on them. I watched
many of my colleagues go for making fun of him,
making fun of how he talks, making fun of me
constantly for supporting him, to when he won the primary
in twenty twenty four, they all started excuse ball language,
Leslie kissing his ass, and decided to put on MAGA

(07:00):
hat for the first time.

Speaker 9 (07:03):
So those comments, they sparked an immediate response from President Trump,
who went on True Social and calling Green washed up
a low IQ trader and saying she only turned on
him because she was quote jilted. And Green says Trump's
attack they fuel threats against her family, but she insists
that she's not leaving Congress because of him, and so
she will step down in January.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
What about all these other Republicans I saw like twenty
plus Republicans that they retiring, leaving to run for another office.

Speaker 9 (07:30):
Yes, they are, and they're saying that that mass exodus
happens when they know that it's looking really murky for
the mid terms. And so a lot of seats will
be open and will continue to follow those races, because
who knows what's going to happen in these upcoming midterm races. Charlemagne, Well,
coming up at seven, a new pole is revealing the

(07:50):
least wanted Christmas gift of the season. Will tell you
what it is and why it's rubbing so many people
the wrong way.

an emergency. People don't think about that, you know, Like
you see that car behind you and not always racing,
They've got somewhere to be and and you're holding them

(12:48):
up because you think you're going to see.

out here period.

Speaker 12 (13:22):
Was he white?

Speaker 10 (13:25):
He don't.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
But he's buying into the narratives that they've created about her.
The narrative they've created about her. Why why I don't
know why.

Because she's done and she what you makes? She stand
up to the people.

Speaker 2 (13:37):

Speaker 1 (13:38):
What is I just always wonder the people who say

of the things she didn't really want to get into.
But she's in a good space now, she's saved, her
daughter's safe. But yeah, it just really she was posting

Speaker 21 (15:35):
Okay, now, Bust the rhymes in Miami for art Baso
and he ran into a group of content creators and.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
It just did not go well. Let's take a listen.

Speaker 10 (15:52):
Nah just said, my boy, I'm asking you a question.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
So the story everybody ain't playing with you. You content
creators always trying to create content. Everybody ain't playing okay
at all.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
So basically what you guys were hearing.

Speaker 21 (16:25):
So the content creator group, they're there and one of
the younger boys asks, uh, who was about to get
the name of? Asked bust to rhymes for a photo?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
You're about to get the name?

Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yes, that's why I stopped myself. Asked bust rhymes for
a photo.

Speaker 21 (16:38):
And he's being funny, so you know how like it's
the content creators who like will come up and call
you name on purpose.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
He called him Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 21 (16:46):
And then you hear some of the other guys that
are around, and in the video you see the guy,
the funny salesman.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
He's just standing there though he it's like he already
knew he was about to get crazy.

Speaker 21 (16:53):
But you hear other people are saying Tracy Morgan as well,
so they think it's like funny. But Buster starts going
off now as he's going on off, and it's getting
a little bit more intense though.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hit Buster going off though I've heard I've been on
the receiver again the Bust to going off, so I
know when Buss is going off, and it's not like
he was going off that was like that was like
that wasn't even heavy, that was nothing.

Speaker 21 (17:12):
What was happening as he begins to, uh, have this
light conversation with this young man who was visibly like,
oh he knew he messed up, and yeah, he knew
he messed up. In the moment, even the people around
kind of back up a little bit because you can't
hear Bust that as much because they're like, oh, okay.

Speaker 7 (17:28):
I heard him say put the camera down.

Speaker 21 (17:30):
Yes, he's telling him to put the camera down. He's
telling him like, yo, you can't play with people like that.
That'll get you fed up, Like, don't do that.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, busts from that class. If he will f you up.
Bust is not one of the ones he played. He
don't care who you are.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
If you.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
If you show disrespect, he's gonna come right back with disrespect.
That's Busts.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
You just can't put hands on people like you used to, though,
because everything's under surveilans.

Speaker 7 (17:47):
Right, Yeah, exactly, that's all. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Uh, but Tracy Morgan is now trending on Google.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah he apologized that the guy apologize or did he
just like I'm sure he just fell back.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
You couldn't hear if he did.

Speaker 21 (17:59):
I didn't here in the video, but you see him
kind of like walking off and it's a whole different
temperament than it was in again, and that ain't nothing
funny at that point.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I just poor Tracy Morgan Field this morning, like that
you got that insultia because somebody said.

Speaker 15 (18:10):
That you look like.

Speaker 21 (18:12):
He hasn't posted anything to his social that I've seen yet.
But I did see a couple of people in Tracy
Morgan's comments like have you ever been compared to bust
the rhymes? So I don't know, but he hasn't posted
nothing to his social yet. Got best of content creators,
I would never have the one. I would never want
to have to do that to make money at all.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Jesus.

Speaker 21 (18:30):
Now speaking of other content, so the Diddy Netflix documentary
is still causing some commotion. So Marlon Wayans and fifty
cent are having a little tenth, a little back and.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
Forth right now.

Speaker 21 (18:45):
Yeah, So Marlin sat down, Marlin sat down with Big
Boy and they we're talking about a ton of different things.
But the Netflix doc came up? Did these Netflix dock
by fifty cent? Let's take call a.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Sent fifty and Puff of long term beef.

Speaker 22 (18:58):
It's personal. It's between him and and before. It's between
him and Puff, it's between both of them and God.
Just the way Puff is down on his love and
fifty's kicking a man when he's down, and fifty of
a luck turned on fifty. You gotta be careful what
you put out. There's a calma that every action that
you think will see that day, you think we'll.

Speaker 15 (19:16):
See that day.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I don't think fifty does dumb stuff. You know, he's
very smart.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
You know, in terms of his business, I think he
already had his.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I think we already would have saw it. He got
shot nine times.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
He got his he paid his debt early, so that's
why he's like it.

Speaker 22 (19:29):
But you know, this is between him and Puff, and honestly,
it's between both of them and God.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
So you know, only only God can judge and both
of them.

Speaker 22 (19:38):
People will have time to sit with God and talk
about and through everything, and right now is Puff's time
to sit there and have a conversation with a much
needed conversation with God saying I'm crazy.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Yeah, so fifty cent posted.

Speaker 21 (19:51):
I will say to a lot of places that I
saw posting this clip, weren't posting it and for like
that other person, yeah, they didn't post it in full,
so it you, I mean fifty just like the troll anyway,
But if you first watch just that little clip, it
kind of sounds like, oh, fifty a day is coming,
you better relax.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
But then when you watch a full thing, it's like, oh,
but he's a smart guy. Whatever.

Speaker 21 (20:10):
But fifty cent posted, uh Marlon Wains from White Chicks
and said keep my name out of your mouth, boy,
And then Marlon Wayne's is coming back on Instagram.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
Tell you about to say something, Charlie, I was good.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
How come nobody ever says that when it's white producers
like TMZ did docs on Diddy, there was docs on Hulu.
How come they weren't kicking? How come Peacock? How come
they weren't kicking the person when they do? Why do
we only say that when it's you know, a black producer,
and especially when you know fifty and Didty got a
personal issue? So like there's there's there's no there's no

(20:39):
reason for fifty to have any type of loyalty to
Diddy in any way.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Shait you know what.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I didn't even think about it like that. But like
you said, there's been a bunch of docs. But and
nobody said when TMZ did that whole series. Nobody said
when when the Peacock doc and all those other docs.
But what it said, it's investigative reporting when they did it.
When they do it, but he wasn't in jail yet,
like makes it worse. It makes it work because he
was going through trial when they were doing these documents,

(21:02):
they would do these documentaries. I think it makes it worse.
The jurists could have had a chance to watch it.
People could have a chance to watch it was worse.
And what is this documentary doing other than telling a story?
Like literally, it's just telling a story, like and it's
a story based off did He's actions?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
So how was that kicking them what he's done? I mean,
how I've seen it aren't when they down in the ground.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
But I'm saying like he's in jail, like he's in
prison right now. So that's I feel like that's what
Marlin is saying, like there's nothing that did he can do.
He's not home walking around free like he he can't
do nothing, says ties like he can't respond that, or yeah,
you can't do anything, send it flowers, I mean whatever.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Also, fifty is not the only producer on this documentary.
Yeah you know that right, there's other there's other executive
producers on this documentary. Why fifty the only one that's
kicking them with you? Sound like did he getting jumped
to me?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
The idea?

Speaker 7 (21:55):
Right, this is a fifty didn't have the idea to
do it. It wouldn't have been done and executed perfectly.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I dobt it do I know.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I almost guarantee somebody probably came to him and said
this is what they want to do. I've been on
the receiving any of those kind of phone calls where
people want to come and they'll be.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Like, who's who's the person we could do a documentary on.

Speaker 21 (22:13):
I'd be like Elvis, Well, Jarro said he's about to
do his own documentary because in speaking of kicking your enemy,
he doing his own I mean, he he's just trolling
fifty cent, but he's basically saying he's calling fifty a hypocrite.
He's saying, you got your own stuff that that people
could talk about, so you need to step on out
of this, and I'm going to do my own documentary.
And he's trying to make it seem like, you know,

(22:34):
fifty cent doesn't really care about the victims and people
that are on the receiving end of this.

Speaker 6 (22:37):
It was all about getting the story, y'all. So he's
like piling on to the lest.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
People that documentaries care about the victims.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, and Jos say he trolling, and tele a production
company actually approaches.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Him and say, hey, you really want to do this?
I guarant I'm telling you it's the game.

Speaker 21 (22:52):
Well, he didn't even say he was trolling. I took
it as he was trolling. He said, I think I'm
going to start doing docs. There's a lot to unpack
here allegedly, and he posted some like you know, past
uh things that have been alleged against fifty cent.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
So yeah, this doc just keeps on beefing with with
tas okay.

Speaker 21 (23:10):
The imposted a photo with the Netflix on His caption says,
l O L little sex worker doing a big get
them baby.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
This seems crazy.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Oh god, yes that is.

Speaker 21 (23:19):
Off for this hour though, guys. Don't y'all feel so
connected after hanging out last night? I love it when
we hang out.

Speaker 3 (23:25):

I wish she definitely.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
Yes, they are looking a little side, don't you don't.

Speaker 10 (23:49):

Speaker 21 (24:09):

look at these ankles. Do you see the glisten? You
see the glittering.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Don't play with me.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
From being so cold outside? You know what that you
know when it's cold outside, the little frost sticks to the.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Ash that's why I'm listening today to the right girls.
All right girls, that's the latest of Laura. When we
come back, we got front page news and enjoy An
Reid will be joining us.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
She's the host of the Joy Read Show're gonna kick
with us. Well, it's breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's
DJ V Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the
breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news.

Speaker 9 (24:42):
Now.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
In sports, the Charges beat the Eagles twenty to nineteen.
What's up?

Speaker 9 (24:48):
Good morning, NBA Jess, charallamage, how y'all doing this morning?
Good morning? So we start this hour in Hollywood where
a major bitting war is breaking out over Warner Brothers.
If pair amount, they have launched a hostel, I'll takeover,
going straight to Warner shareholders with one hundred and eight
billion dollar offer and bypassing Warner's top executives who agreed
last week to sell to Netflix. So a hostile takeover

(25:11):
means Warner's leadership doesn't want the deals. Well, Paramount is
appealing directly to shareholders with more money and a bigger proposal,
saying it only went hostile after Warner management refused to
engage with six earlier offers. Let's listen to Paramount CEO
David Ellison.

Speaker 23 (25:27):
What we were told repeatedly was that they wanted all cash.
We delivered all cash. We were asked that they wanted
it to be fully backstopped by the Ellison family in Redbird.
We delivered it fully backstopped by the Ellison family in Redbird.
And when you look at the scale of the companies right,
look at the scale of Netflix, three hundred and ten
million global subscribers. When you combine the number one streamer

(25:48):
with the number three streamer, that creates a company that
has unprecedented market power north of four hundred million subscribers.
The next largest competitor is Disney with just under two
hundred million. That's bad for Hollywood. That's bad for the
creative community, that's bad for consumers. And look at how
the market is reacting to this deal. We are literally
seeing talent talking about the death of movie theaters. We've

(26:12):
all heard Ted Sarandas's comments about how he feels about
the theatrical experience. And you've also seen you know, and
our deal is also offering more cash for shareholders.

Speaker 9 (26:21):
Well, unlike Netflix, Paramount wants to buy all of Warner's businesses,
including its cable networks like CNN and Discovery. Now, both
bids still have to clear regulators in Washington. President Trump
has already raised concern about Netflix's offer, calling its market
share of problem in Paramount, meanwhile, may have a smoother path,
reportedly because some of its financing involves an investment fund

(26:43):
tied to Jarret Kushner, who is President Trump's son in
law and Middle East investors, and because CEO David Ellison,
who we just heard is the son of Trump ally
Larry Ellison. Trump was asked about this new Paramount bid
yesterday in the Oval Office. Let's listen to what he
had to.

Speaker 6 (26:59):
Say for Paramount made for Warner Brothers.

Speaker 10 (27:02):
I don't know enough about.

Speaker 9 (27:03):
It last night, saying you have concerns about them.

Speaker 24 (27:07):
No, I know the companies right well, I know what
they're doing, but I have to see I have to
see what percentage of market they have.

Speaker 9 (27:13):
We have to see the Netflix percentage of market.

Speaker 10 (27:16):
Paramount.

Speaker 9 (27:17):
I mean, none of them are particularly great friends in mine.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I want to I want to do what's right.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
Paramount was supported by Kushner.

Speaker 9 (27:24):
Mister President, would that impact your decision.

Speaker 15 (27:26):
If Paramount is I don't know, I haven't I've never
spoken about.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
He's really trying to work on you guys.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
So Trump said to Netflix deal could be a problem,
but he would be a hypocrite if he doesn't think
the Paramount deal would be a problem. Paramount would have
control of damn near everything. Their market share would be insane,
and that's you know, Ellison is his man. So you're
probably gonna get a crazy kickback from the Paramount deal.

Speaker 9 (27:49):
But don't as he just said that none of them
are are good friends of his, right, you know, right,
So we'll see what he does. Some DC lawmakers are
already questioned the bid, saying they're concerned about even the
appearance of favoritism in this review process. Paramounts offer. It
does expire January eighth, unless it's expended extended. But you know,

(28:11):
this battle is most likely far from over.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
And didn't and didn't last month meet me Donald Trump
was having This was the report came out that Trump
officials were discussing with Larry Ellison CNN anchors.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
They wanted to act amid some type of takeover bid.

Speaker 9 (28:25):
So it's exactly what they were saying, and the underlying
issue with this takeover is what it would do to CNN,
And there's a lot of questions behind that, right they
kind of want to take it over and reprogram the
programming and do all of those things. And so you know,

(28:46):
in the Netflix deal, CNN and other cable networks they
will be spun off and sold separately. Under the Paramount deal,
they would be sold together. So you know, it just
depends on which one will go through and what will
happen and what the future of CNN and other cable
networks will look like under the deal that whichever deal
that goes through, Lloyd emersy yes and saying right here

(29:06):
in Hollywood, Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly getting a one year
contract extension from ABC. We covered this story extensively a
couple of months ago. Bloomberg says the deal keeps him
on the network through the end of twenty twenty six
twenty twenty seven season that Kimble's contract it was set
to expire in May. The extension comes just months after
ABC briefly suspended him over those comments about the death

(29:28):
of Charlie Kirk. He returned a week later, and that
episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. It pulled in more than
six million viewers, and this morning, if you are in Chicago,
door Dash may owe you some money. The city just
reached an eighteen million dollar settlement with the delivery app
after accusing it of misleading customers, restaurants and drivers. So

(29:48):
Chicago and DoorDash, they said. Chicago says that DoorDash wasn't
upfront about his fees, that it listed restaurants without permission,
and used customer tips to subsidize a driver pay a
door Dash. They are denying any wrongdoing, but agreed to
move forward with a settlement, and as part of the deal,
four million dollars in door Dash credits will go to
eligible Chicago users starting next month. Restaurants and drivers will

(30:12):
also receive compensation and credits, and DoorDash has agreed to
stop listing Chicago restaurants without their permission.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Nah, give me that money. I don't want no door
Dash credit.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Nah, y'a already messing up oils and stuff in line
and false amitize.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
Just give me the bread. That's so crazy.

Speaker 9 (30:29):
Yeah, you don't get your money back, but you get
a credit to order something else. Right. Yeah, And a
new survey this morning is ranking the worst Christmas present
that you can give, if y'all have any idea what
it could be. What would be the worst Christmas present
that you could receive?

Speaker 7 (30:48):
Just oh, my good, I don't know.

Speaker 12 (30:51):
That's the one that I do not know herpees yeah, wow,
oh oh my god.

Speaker 10 (31:02):
All right.

Speaker 9 (31:03):
Well, a lot of people, a lot of people are
saying a self help book on Christmas for Christmas Morning
feels a little judging. It's like happy Holidays, here's something
that you need to fix. They say that it's less
merry and bright and more like do better.

Speaker 15 (31:18):
So.

Speaker 9 (31:18):
The survey also found that it's the most regifted President
President of the season meeting. People don't want to keep
it because it feels like a critique. Folks would rather
get something fun or personal, like a real book, a class,
or even a simple gift card. And only twelve percent
of Americans say gifts are the best part of Christmas anymore.
Most people say the real highlights are now time with family,

(31:39):
food and holiday traditions. And if you're wondering what to
do with that gift that you don't want, you're in luck.
Seven out of ten people say regifting is perfectly fine.
So if you get a self help book this year
you don't want it, feel free to regift it, apparently
to someone who needs to improve their life.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I disagree. I love a good self help book. Always
recommend me a good self help book. I read self
help books. I mean that's I like self help books, Like, yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
You shouldn't be offended, especially if it's somebody you know
obviously is something about you then that they see that
you could read on fixing.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
What if they give it to you every year?

Speaker 15 (32:13):
Though?

Speaker 7 (32:13):
Oh all right, now we don't need to be framed.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
But it depends on There's certain books I recommend, like
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I'm I always
give that the people. Ryan Holliday, ego is the enemy.
I always give that the people. You know The Secret?

Speaker 15 (32:25):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Another one by Ron de Brown, I always give that
to people. Good books, Yeah, see The Soul is another one.
I will give those books to people all the time.
So those are great reads.

Speaker 9 (32:38):
Well, apparently shalla ninety Americans feel attacked by self help.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Well they shouldn't have did it in hall. There was
a polled in hall them at Jewel Santana House.

Speaker 10 (32:49):
My God.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Was like, don't send me no goddamn books for Christmas.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Dam thank you and me.

them in their life. So I can't wait to give
them their gifts a little later. And then we open
up the phone line to find out the worst gifts

Speaker 3 (33:45):
That's right, abolutely missus. Joy and read welcome, Thank you.
Are you feeling this morning?

Speaker 13 (33:50):
I'm feeling so good on my birthday because look, I
woke up looking fully made up and I just woke
up like this.

Speaker 12 (33:55):
I just woke up and I just was fully made
up and ready to go.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's twenty five years old.

Speaker 12 (34:00):
Twenty five?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
How do you celebrate?

Speaker 13 (34:04):
I'm working today. You know, I'm type A, So I'm like,
I'm just gonna work like normal. But last night we
did like karaoke. We went out, we did like live
da karaoke. I got my little shoe on with my
friends and it was fun.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
So yet, and I bet it was early too, right,
you ended like so back.

Speaker 13 (34:19):
I really went to sleep at three o'clock this morning,
after a little bit, you know, we hung out, so.

Speaker 12 (34:25):
We were outside.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Ten o'clock.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
No, no, done, done.

Speaker 12 (34:31):
I don't even start to really wake up to like
six pm. Really, I'm not a morning like.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
This is tough for me.

Speaker 13 (34:37):
Morning you're not used to do the morning radio mornings
are tough. I'm a night person. I don't even get
really going until like six seven o'clock.

Speaker 12 (34:44):
Then I'm awake.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
So that's why you do your show at night as well.

Speaker 12 (34:46):
Yeah, I mean night. That's literally when I kind of
come alive.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I'm not.

Speaker 13 (34:49):
Mornings are tough, like getting up, I fight my way
out of bed. I have to fight my way out
of that bed. And you're celebrated the six month birthday
in your show too, Yeah, so their so it's it's
just interesting enough that my birthday is today and the
six month bird day of the show is tomorrow. Wow,
six months, and it feels like it's been longer, but
it's only been six months.

Speaker 21 (35:05):
What has been the sixth like out of six months?
What's the thing that you were most grateful for in
the journey of your show?

Speaker 7 (35:11):
The support?

Speaker 13 (35:12):
Like, I mean, you know, because when you leave like
a sort of formal corporate media situation, you have no
idea whether people are, you know, we're really interested in
the station and following the station or following you. And
I'm just grateful for the love and support that we've gotten,
not only the people who've been willing to come on,
but just the fact that people are like responding to it.

Speaker 12 (35:31):
I'm beyond grateful.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
How is it independence been?

Speaker 13 (35:34):
Now? I love it, especially now because this corporate media
world is getting worse. It's getting harder for people to
really kind of express themselves and be yourself. And I
feel like it's not going in a good direction, you know,
And so I'm just grateful to be free to do
what I do, say what I want to say, and
not worry about like a corporate overseer.

Speaker 12 (35:53):
I feel good.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Do you think they're attacks?

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Last one? Do you think the attacks increased? Because I notice,
especially with a lot of independent people, I see like
independent gets attacked a lot more than what I've usually seen.
And have you seen that for yourself as well?

Speaker 13 (36:07):
I think independent gets attacked a lot more because people
realize the effectiveness of it. I think once you know,
Trump was helped so much by outside of corporate media,
like he was really helped by podcasts, He was really
helped by independent media, some of whom people most people
had never heard of unless you are in that world.
And I think once people realize the power of that,
now the focus is on it, you know what I mean,

(36:28):
Like the the eyes are on it now, so you know,
But as far as attacks against me, it's just I mean,
I say, I love puppies, and you know, JD Vance
will be like, You're not grateful enough, you know.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
If Netflix absorbs Warner Brothers.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Right, what did that level of media consolidation mean for journalism,
especially for network like seeing it.

Speaker 13 (36:48):
I'm actually glad CNN's not in the deal because so
what they did, they're kind of doing the same thing
they did with when Comcasts spun off MS the artists
formerly known as LSBC. They separate them out and they
put them in their own company and they called it
spin Cot, which is a bad name for a media company,
but they called it Spincot for a while and then
Verse Sion or whatever, and now it's miss Now they've

(37:09):
switched it up. They did this, they're doing the same
with CNN. So CNN's not in the deal, which I
think is good because that size of a corporation I'm
not sure has the right level of accountability to the people.
And I worried about that a little bit.

Speaker 12 (37:22):
But it's not in the deal.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Now.

Speaker 13 (37:24):
The question is who buys CNN and who absorbs it,
and that is still an open question.

Speaker 12 (37:29):
That could be bad news.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, because I.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Thought I saw something with Trump said he had a
list of CNN ankles he wanted fired.

Speaker 13 (37:35):
Yeah, and I mean, look at this point, he's in
a way dictating what Sky dance does he's dictating their
editorial content. I mean, how is the editorial content of
like the Tiffany Network, the Walter Cronkite Network being dictated
out of the White House. That's already happening. If CNN
falls into the hands of another of his cronies, he's

(37:56):
gonna dictate.

Speaker 12 (37:57):
What's on CNN. Like we're going in a bad direct.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
He says, he's gonna be really involved in the approval
of this Netflix deal.

Speaker 13 (38:04):
Yeah, and the Netflix president had to go have a
personal conversation with Trump to get him to approve the
deal because the Ellisons were also wanting to buy Warner
and they were at and they're still lobbying to try
to undo that deal so they can buy it. It's like,
in the end, we're gonna have like five media companies.
They're gonna own everything and own everything from social media
to regular media. This is not good because the public

(38:26):
is not going to have anywhere to go. It's gonna
be like back in the day there were three networks.
There'll be three networks again, but they'll all be in
lined with the government.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
So it's yeah, besides the government piece, right, I feel
like it's always difficult to tell somebody what they can
buy what they can't. But how does that sit with you?

Speaker 10 (38:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Take the government piece out right with Trump, because Trump
could be like, I approve this deal, but you gotta
fire this person, this person, this person. So outside of
that is it's hard to tell a me like a
person what they can buy and what they can't buy,
don't you think though?

Speaker 13 (38:54):
But I think it depends because in the case of media,
it's it's serving a public interest, right. And if let's
say everyone who buys a media company and saying yeah,
you can buy whatever you want. But then if it's
all giving you only one one perspective one and you
can't get another perspective, there's nowhere else to go.

Speaker 12 (39:12):
So now you're locked in.

Speaker 13 (39:13):
You get this one perspective that just happens to be
the same perspective as the president of the United States,
and now we're North Korea, because where can you get
any alternative view? That's what That's what Victor orbad did
in Hungary. Basically all of the media is his perspective
and only his perspective, and you can't get an alternative.
That's a dangerous place, especially in this country as diverse
as this country is, how many views there are in

(39:35):
the world, we should be able to get a variety
of it. And for now, independent media is where you
can go and get the alternative. As long as that
stays free and clear, then I guess we're good. But
I don't think it's good for democracy for all of
the major media companies to all line up and fall
on their knees for the president.

Speaker 12 (39:55):
It's not a good look.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
So you have to have like a Fox that's right.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Then you have to have MSNBC that has a liberal yeah,
planing CNN is trying to play it down in the
middle nowadays.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
But you've got variety.

Speaker 12 (40:05):
At least, you have a.

Speaker 13 (40:06):
Variety of a choice. You can choose your own adventure.
But I mean, if they're all aligned and they're all
deciding they're going to serve you know, the King, Yeah,
then we're stuck.

Speaker 21 (40:15):
That's why it's kind of crazy to hear him talk
about like he's nervous that Netflix will have like a
monopoly because if he is able to control certain things,
he and Donald Trump, it's almost like this is his
monopoly on the media, so exactly, such a.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I feel like he just said that because you know,
you got to get his tribute.

Speaker 13 (40:31):
Well, yeah, exactly, And I just assume he's getting paid
off everything. He's like a my boss.

Speaker 12 (40:40):
It's like, what is his cut? You know, that's all.

Speaker 13 (40:42):
I think that's all. Then it's like all these pardons
are like that. It's like when you see these you know,
fraudsters getting pardoned. Then you found out they wrote a
check to these friends of Trump and they're all writing checks.
He's selling pardons out of the White House. This is crazy, but.

Speaker 12 (40:56):
The Supreme Court that he could do it, so he's
gonna do it.

Speaker 25 (40:58):
What do you see like America looking like at the
end of his full yet turn though? Which thing?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
A mess?

Speaker 12 (41:05):
Like a whole mess.

Speaker 13 (41:06):
Because the thing is, if they are robbing the treasury
to enrich him and enrich his friends and enrich the
small set of billionaires and leaving nothing for everyone else,
you end up with a crab economy, people struggling, a lot,
more poverty, a lot more hunger or want and that's,
you know, that's the seeds of revolution. You don't want
to really make a lot of people poor while you're

(41:27):
making a handful of people rich. Like that generally doesn't
go well for either the rich or the poor.

Speaker 12 (41:32):
So it doesn't look good.

Speaker 13 (41:34):
I think we're going toward Hungary, Russia, that kind of
a country, and that's not what we want to be.

Speaker 25 (41:40):
And then how long is the undo of everything for
the next person is Yeah, damn.

Speaker 13 (41:46):
I can't imagine the job of the next president to
have to fix this mess, because this is a mess
like he's gonna lead. I mean, I'm assuming twenty twenty
six we end up in a reception. I'm just assuming that.
And I think people should brace themselves for the economy
to get really bad because and a small number of
people get rich and you don't expand the middle the middle,
and when the bottom gets poorer, there's no way to

(42:07):
sustain an economy like that that anybody can really benefit from.
I mean, Trump is benefiting, his friends are benefiting who else.

Speaker 12 (42:15):
It's not good.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
I do think that a lot of things that I
see are authoritarian strategy. But when I see somebody like
you know, President Biden, say it's a threat to democracy,
but then he's outside the White House saying welcome home.
Or when I see you know, Zora Mundani call Donald
Trump a fascist, but then say, I can work with
a fascist.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
I'm like, well, that's not how I was taught.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
How fast, I never fascist, and you can't work with
a fascist like that's never worked in the history of mankind.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
So sometimes we say.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
These words, but when we don't act upon these words,
it kind of takes the meaning out of these words.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I think.

Speaker 13 (42:48):
I feel like Biden, what he did was worse, to
be honest, because Biden spent an entire campaign telling us
that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy, that Donald
Trump was it, and then he right, the welcome home
thing was insane. You know, even Obama they can with
him at the funeral like this is a normal guy.

Speaker 12 (43:04):
Who wants to arrest you, by the way, you know.

Speaker 13 (43:07):
I don't, Yeah, I think that because the politicians, particularly
at that the older policy, I don't think they understand.
I don't think they really think it's fascism and authoritarism.
I think they think it is different in politics.

Speaker 12 (43:18):
That's what I worry.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
But that's how I feel about Mundani too, because I
feel like if you if you use those words while
you're campaigning, like when you get in the when you
you know, get in the you become the elective official
and become mayor.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
I understand. I understand you have to work with him.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Yeah, so maybe you shouldn't use that kind of language
if you're going to tell us you can work with
a fascist.

Speaker 13 (43:35):
I mean, unfortunately, when you have a regime, you've got
to deal with the regime. And I think if you're
the mayor of New York City, you got to deal
with the President of United States. There's no getting around it.
And so if you have an in the interests of
your citizens, you're unfortunately gonna have to deal with this man.
You have to deal with this president. The immigration issue
alone is going to send him in a collision course

(43:56):
with the White House. So I kind of understand what
he's saying, he has to work with Biden was on
his way out.

Speaker 12 (44:01):
He didn't have to work with Trump. There's no there.

Speaker 13 (44:03):
No presidents don't work with each other. You're literally handing
over power to somebody. You're saying is dangerous, Mam, Donnie's
not handing power over to Trump.

Speaker 12 (44:11):
He has to work with Trump.

Speaker 13 (44:13):
That's actually just a fact with when Biden did it
to me, it was unnecessary that that kind of comity,
that kind of like friendliness between two presidents was completely unnecessary.
You are out of power, you on your way out,
stand strong on what you said during the campaign. There
was no need for you to be generous to him.
In the case of Mam Donnie, it's slightly different because

(44:34):
you're coming into power and you do have to deal
with that man.

Speaker 12 (44:36):
You have no choice.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I agree, But how do you ring the alarm that
this is something different and not just a difference in politics.

Speaker 12 (44:43):
Yeah, and that's why you're using words like fashion.

Speaker 13 (44:45):
Yeah, and he's going to have to do that in power,
like he's going to have to, particularly on the I
mean now that Trump has deleted all Haitian Americans TPS,
no more temporary predicted status for anybody Haitian, Like, gone right,
what they what they're doing? The Venezuelans And there's a
lot in this city. So he now is going to
be frontline trying to deal with fighting literal fascism and

(45:07):
authoritarianism at his doorstep. And so yeah, the question is
going to be does he do it with that rhetoric
and keep that rhetoric up or does he just fight it.
I don't even think it matters what he says. At
this point, He's gonna have to fight it. We cannot
have this country become one giant kidnapping site where this
regime is allowed to just kidnap people at will. Like
that has to stop, and somebody has to stand up

(45:29):
to on the you know, New York City happens to be,
you know, the financial capital of the United States, and
somebody has to put their foot down.

Speaker 12 (45:37):
And I'm hoping, I'm Donnie Will.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Do you think the public fully understands how much executive
power Trump is willed or are we sleepwalking into something
you're reversible?

Speaker 13 (45:46):
I think we're sleepwalking because you know what, I don't
think people understood the powers of the presidency and that
it was only constrained by the.

Speaker 12 (45:57):
Kind of belief in the system of other press.

Speaker 13 (46:00):
Like Trump is just stealing power that no one anticipated
the president would have because he's just doing it. And
it makes me think, well, damn, the Democrats were in there.

Speaker 12 (46:09):
They could have done a lot more.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Who knew because.

Speaker 12 (46:13):
Who's going to stop you? Like, whos gonna stop him?

Speaker 6 (46:15):
Nobody?

Speaker 13 (46:16):
And so if now we realize the presidents he could
be this powerful, it kind of makes me wish that
previous presidents had actually used more power for good. For good, yeah,
because this dude is just stealing powers that were not
even anticipated. I mean, and the Supreme Court is rubber
stamping at all. So it's like, oh, it turns out
Obama should have just like May put thirteen seats on

(46:38):
the Supreme Court and you know put I mean, I
just I wonder what we could have done had previous
presidents realize how much power they can.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
If another Democrat goes in office, do you think another
Democratic president will use his power they have to? Do
you think that they will or do you think they will?
I don't want to go against what the constitutions.

Speaker 12 (46:56):
Unfortunately, I think it's that I think so too.

Speaker 13 (46:59):
I don't think democrats believe and use I think they're
afraid to will power the way that Trump is willing power.
They think that he is he is outside the norm
and they're gonna want to bring it back to the norm.
That's how we ended up with Merrick Garland, who did
nothing for four years.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Even Biden on the way out like if I'm on
my way out, nah, I'm gonna pardon everybody that needs
to be parted. I'm gonna make sure everybody was what
you're gonna do, what you're gonna hate me anyway?

Speaker 12 (47:22):
You hate me anyway, you hate me anyway. And it's
like he parted. He did a select few pardons.

Speaker 13 (47:26):
There's so much more he could have done on his
way out, but instead he's trying to welcome home the
next president.

Speaker 12 (47:32):
I don't want to go too far, you know.

Speaker 13 (47:33):
Even so, yeah, I worry that democrats, just small sea
constitutionally are not built to do what they need to
do when they come down.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
You said a name just now. I'm sorry, you said
a name just now. And this person needs a lot
more smoke than he ever gets. And that's Mary Garden.

Speaker 7 (47:47):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
Like, I don't know why Americ Garland escapes the smoke.

Speaker 13 (47:51):
I don't understand why he escapes the smoke. Even the
Epstein files thing, I'm like, wait a minute, you tell me.
Nine months into this administration, the podcast guys are claiming
they caught the mind.

Speaker 10 (48:04):
Now.

Speaker 13 (48:04):
I don't know if this young man is the person
that put the pipe bombs in these I don't know,
but I know they said we salved the case in
nine months.

Speaker 12 (48:11):
Mary Garland was there for four years?

Speaker 1 (48:14):
What were you doing?

Speaker 13 (48:14):
The Ebsteane files? Merrick, what were you doing for four years?
You had the same evidence the same files. Why did
you release him? Like he took a year and a
half to even start investigating Trump. For January he did
an insurrection, and he's like, let me start at the bottom.

(48:35):
I'm going to arrest the cab driver who drove down
to be in the insurrection, and I'll work my way
up to the one who owned the beauty salon, and
then I will work my way.

Speaker 12 (48:43):
It took him a year and a half to get
the Trump.

Speaker 13 (48:45):
This man had classified documents at this house for eighteen
months while they were begging, please will you bring him back?

Speaker 12 (48:51):
Asked nicely, bring him back, Mary Garland? Did it to
me nothing? For four years? He might as well not
have been there.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
And when President Biden left the White House, he said,
you should have hired a different attorney generals that would
have went after Trump a lot sooner.

Speaker 13 (49:03):
I'm like, well, Dad, why did you fire them there?
Exactly why did you fire them? I mean between that
and sitting there while the genocide happened under your watch,
And I mean that by known z that. So I
think about that Biden presidency as just one four year
lost opportunity. Love the infrastructure bill, but other than that,
it's like what did you do with your time? While
Trump is running rough shot over the Constitution, he sat there, Yeah,

(49:27):
I need sixty votes to get anything done.

Speaker 12 (49:30):
It does make it. And I remember you used to
say this during the time.

Speaker 13 (49:32):
It's like, it's frustrating when Democrats say I can't And
I was even one to say, you know, they don't have.

Speaker 12 (49:37):
Sixty votes in the Senate. But now I'm realizing they
didn't need them.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
I don't think a lot of people didn't know.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
We had Congressman now Green here and we asked them like,
did you know a president could wild this much power beforehand?

Speaker 2 (49:46):
And he was like, no, I'm a lawyer. So if
Congress now Green don't know how we voted, know, we
didn't know.

Speaker 13 (49:53):
I mean, and I thought it was pretty conversing in
the Constitution, but Trump, I mean, we thought the emolument's.

Speaker 7 (49:58):
Clause was real.

Speaker 12 (49:59):
Wasn't real? You know, you can sell Brock, you can
sell pardons who knew.

Speaker 13 (50:03):
Like they're literally he's doing everything you'd think would be
a criminal offense in the White House, with the Supreme
Court of the United States literally rubber stamping it.

Speaker 12 (50:12):
So I guess it. If you're a Republican, you can
do it.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Well, maybe this stuff is a crime, but the Supreme
Court gave me that presidential immunity.

Speaker 12 (50:18):
Because they're Republicans and they want Republicans to win.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yeah, So I wonder if before the president will see
this's great, this is the fact that we're even having
this conversation.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
I wonder if before the presidential immunity was just stuff.

Speaker 13 (50:28):
For legal It had to have been illegal, but I think,
I mean, I only think it's being allowed because they're
Republicans and he's a Republican, and genre if you know
anything about John Roberts, you know he's a Republican first
and foremost. He does not believe in the Voting Rights Act,
never has, and these are the outcomes he wants. They
want a king. They're monarchists. They don't believe in democracy.
They want a monarchy. They just wanted to be a

(50:50):
Republican monarchy because I promise if a Democrat was doing this,
they would say, none of that's legal.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
What do you I'm switching talking talk about Puffy for
a second. Oh my god, that's exhausted.

Speaker 13 (51:08):
Did he the same person I used to call Trump
the Puffy of politics for years. I would call him
the Puffy of politics, and nobody ever sauld understood.

Speaker 12 (51:16):
Why they're the same person. Damn, if you think about it,
I can see what you mean by that, like the arrogance.

Speaker 13 (51:23):
The arrogance, and then they don't have a specific talent.
Their talent is using the people with talent to get
what they want, right, Like Puffy's not a producer, he's not,
but no, he hires producers, doesn't pay him, makes him
sign N d a's but he takes the credit and

(51:44):
then he goes on and says I like that on
the song. And now he's also the artist.

Speaker 5 (51:47):
So what is all this with him and the you
know he we've seen him like direct people how to
do this, how to sing it this way and that,
you know, just how it sounds phonetically and how it's coming.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Like that's not a producer.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Yeah, I think I think the Puffy not having no
talent thing is kind of a little scratch. So we've
seen him pick songs.

Speaker 13 (52:04):
And be like, yo, I want to turn this into
such and such record. I know he's a marketing genius,
so is Trump? Like that's something they're the same person.
They're both marketing genius.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
She's saying he's not pushing the button insteady.

Speaker 13 (52:16):
Producer, right, you know what I mean, Like he's not
like a rapper, but he craved to be the talent.

Speaker 12 (52:22):
But he really is the marketer.

Speaker 13 (52:24):
But it's like when the marketer wants to be the
product and he fought to me to the death of
a lot of people to get to be the talent
when he's actually the marketer and he's a genius at that.

Speaker 12 (52:33):
I'm gonna give Hi credit for that.

Speaker 13 (52:34):
But in terms of it's like he had this great
envy of the talented artist that he saw around him,
you know, especially Tupac, and he wanted to be Tupac,
like beloved like Tupac, Talented like Tupac. He wanted to
be Biggie instead of just market Biggie. And it's like
he fought his way through a lot of dead bodies
to be the artist. It's so tragic on so many levels.

(52:58):
And it's I mean, it was brilliantly done.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
It and I mean he is he is an executive,
like he was able to find talent, put talent together
and make those but as far as being an actual producer,
somebody who sits there, plugs in the keyboard, none, that
wasn't anything.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
What do you think it says about America that a
documentary about Diddy and even even black culture to that
that can dominate Netflix at a moment when like black
history is being restricted in school. I just saw Trump
get rid of Martin Luther King Junior and Junior team
at Parks and replace it.

Speaker 13 (53:28):
Like it's so amazing to me because I've been noticing
when I've been scrolling through Netflix, it's a lot of
content that's not black, you know, and it's like that
it's all all white casts and everything.

Speaker 12 (53:40):
But the number one thing on there is this document.

Speaker 7 (53:42):
About this this black man in other countries too, not
just here, not just here.

Speaker 13 (53:46):
So it's like they don't want, they don't want us
to be centered, but we're still centered because black folks
make culture, Like American culture without black people is just
stale like second or European culture, you know, And so
they want they don't maybe they don't want us, but
they need us because look at this thing dominating. It's

(54:07):
amazing and it's a fascinating, well done.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Story, like it was that cultural power ever translating in
the political power.

Speaker 13 (54:13):
Do you think I hope so, I hope so, but
I think we actually have to think differently too, you
know what I mean. Like I love Magic Johnson, but
you know, you know, it's great to shop for kids
for Christmas.

Speaker 12 (54:26):
But did it have to be Target?

Speaker 13 (54:28):
You know, in a moment when we're trying to stand
up for our dignity against companies like Target that don't
respect us. It's disappointing, you know that he would lean
into Target in this moment, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (54:43):
What happened?

Speaker 13 (54:43):
So his foundation they do a thing where they shop
for holiday gifts for kids, which is wonderful and it's
great that they do that, and they've been doing it
for a few I mean probably a few years, but
it's with Target, and so in this moment, it's like, Ooh,
does it have to be with Target specifically?

Speaker 12 (54:58):
And maybe they just had a multi deal.

Speaker 13 (55:00):
I have no idea, but it's just we're not unified
enough to turn it into political power.

Speaker 12 (55:05):
I think we're not on the same page enough.

Speaker 13 (55:07):
You know, if we can marshal one trillion plus dollars
in economic power and we were together and we had
a plan, we would be unstoppable. But I just don't
think we're there. I wish we were, I would love
us to be there.

Speaker 21 (55:18):
So do you think, because there's been a debate about
if fifty cent is wrong for being a part of
the doc as a black man, do you think that's
wrong or right?

Speaker 13 (55:27):
I think it's wrong what Puffy allegedly did. I think
the things he did allegedly were horrific, and I think
those things had to come out.

Speaker 7 (55:35):
It didn't help us to.

Speaker 12 (55:36):
Like hide what we knew about r Kelly, you know
what I mean? Who did that help?

Speaker 13 (55:40):
It just hurt little young girls and so you know,
it didn't help for on the other side people to
hide with they knew about Epstein and and let them roll.
So I think we have to expose the things in
our even in our culture, that are hurting us. That
wasn't helping anybody. Where's Mace's money, you know? But great
Nag died with no money? Like that's all right.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Well, let me ask you a questions that I agree
with you. I think that you should expose. I think
people should see my question. And I think this was
the hardest thing for me, right and people whatever. They
called me a glazer for Diddy, but it's not true.
My problem was what he was convicted of, but he
was found guilty of the time that he got. Is
that too much because he was hiring a prostitute well allegedly, right,

(56:20):
But usually the prostitute gets timed and the pimp gets time,
and the john usually gets a slap on the risk
community service and they have to go to some course
for whatever sex whatever. But in this case it seems
like the crime, I guess the time doesn't fit the crime.

Speaker 13 (56:35):
So I think that same and I want to say
it's the same exact he was convicted of the same
thing Epstein was, you know what I mean, Like, I
think they used I believe in both cases it was
man a kind of Epstein wasn't convicted of.

Speaker 12 (56:48):
The man that Epstein was convicted.

Speaker 13 (56:50):
Of basically soliciting, and so was Puffy versions of that, right,
And I think those cases were mischarged. In both of
those cases. I think the prosecutors failed the victims. In
both of those cases. Epstein should have not been convicted
of some sort of solicitation of prostitution. Those girls weren't prostitutes,
they were children, you know. But I also think they failed.

(57:11):
There were real victims here, and I just think don't
think they charged with the right things. I don't think
it makes Puffy innocent, because.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
I don't think he was innocent, But it just it
seems like for what he was charged with, what he
was found guilty of, it seems a lot worse than
what he's doing time for.

Speaker 12 (57:28):
Why I think he got off easy.

Speaker 13 (57:29):
I'm sorry, Dragon Cassie across the floor like a rag
doll beating or up.

Speaker 12 (57:37):
They just charged them wrong.

Speaker 6 (57:40):
What should his charges? What should they have been?

Speaker 12 (57:43):
Assault, battery?

Speaker 13 (57:45):
You know? I mean like they didn't charge anything like that.
So they didn't give the jury enough to convict him on,
like was there in California.

Speaker 7 (57:53):
So there you go, there you go.

Speaker 13 (57:54):
I don't know what you could have charged him with.
I don't know if everything in that dock is true.

Speaker 12 (57:59):
He got a lightcense.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
You think politicians need that type of spectacle moving forward
in order just.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
To cut through.

Speaker 13 (58:06):
Yeah, the attention economy thing is real, Like it's real,
Like Americans have been trained on a certain kind of
attention and they lose their very short attention spans and
people can't pay attention to stuff. It's increased from Kennedy on.
They need celebrity. You know, Kennedy beats Nixon because he's
a celebrity. I mean, he's a celebrity. He's young, he's

(58:26):
good looking. The other guy's old and sweating. You know,
you can't beat that, you can. And then Bill Clinton
he's out there playing the SAgs of hone like he's entertaining,
and it just gets Ronald Reagan actor and it's like,
we keep on pushing the politicians. Obama, you know, Obama's
out there sinking threes and you know he got you know,
will I Am making a song about his juju listen,

(58:48):
And it's like, now we've like and then you get
to Trump, who's like a literal celebrity, who's from the Apprentice,
and everybody's like, I know him.

Speaker 12 (58:55):
And he wants to stay in and beat He claims
he gonna run again at twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Is another ridiculous conversation. I don't even if people should
be entertaining that conversation. Like that's when I get mad
at media because I'm like, stop having that conversation. Let
people know this cannot can't happen. Unconstitutional, right, it's against
the laws.

Speaker 12 (59:12):
Except if you think about what he did in twenty
twenty one. He didn't try to run again. He just
tried to not leave.

Speaker 13 (59:18):
Yeah, So I mean he did try this before, and
now he got away with that, pardoned all the people
who helped him try to He tried to just not leave.
So why wouldn't he try it again now that he's
been affirmed by the Supreme Court that there was nothing
wrong with that, that he cannot commit a crime.

Speaker 12 (59:34):
That he can kill someone with Seal Team six, and.

Speaker 13 (59:37):
He literally is killing boats with Seal Team six, which
is what the Supreme Court that he could do.

Speaker 12 (59:41):
They said he could sell pardons.

Speaker 13 (59:43):
He's doing that, we think, I mean, I don't know
if he's selling them, but somebody's selling is, you know,
transacting money for pardons to happen.

Speaker 12 (59:51):
He's doing whatever he wants.

Speaker 13 (59:52):
So if he decides, I'm gonna repeat my twenty twenty
one thing and just not leave Hugo, check and boo.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
In the early stages of democratically, Yes, a happy Hour,

Speaker 21 (01:03:14):
In other news, Method Men, So Method Men was on
seven PM in Brooklyn and they were having a conversation
about why Wu Tang or the rumor that Wu Tang
was supposed to hop on Drake's Wu Tang Forever song.
Let's take a listen to met Man explaining why it
didn't happen.

Speaker 26 (01:03:28):
Recently turned the anniversary was nothing was the same by
Drake and on that album they had Wu Tang Forever, right,
that's a sawng that a lot of people have debated
about For a long time. There was rumors there was
a Wu Tang version with all you guys on it.
We never really got your reaction when you when you
first heard that record, and you know, I like Drake, Yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:03:48):
I think he's a dope artist. He pushed out some
great music obviously, or see, wuldn't be as big as
he is. But when he sent the record, we will overseved.
He did send the record, and you know something Brothers
was trying to write to it. Man, I'm like, I
don't like it. I didn't like the I was like,
what did you have to do with Wu tag Forever?
And I'm not questioning his autistic ability or anything. I'm
just saying for my taste, I was more or less like,

(01:04:10):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Getting on that.

Speaker 21 (01:04:12):
Yeah, so we have the Wu Tang Forever and then
we have the original like the sample, Yes that they
sample so we could take a listen. But I kind
of understand what he was saying. Though some people when
they heard that, they took it as like, well, dang,
like you know you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Thought the record was whack. There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
By the way, I didn't even think it was you
just didn't think it was for him, and there's nothing wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
With that, and I agree with him. I can't hear
nobody from on that record.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
I can't hear anybody on that record.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
It just sounds like it's raining and the windsh your
wife is are going.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
It's not.

Speaker 6 (01:04:43):
The energy of it, right, It's not a bad song,
just energy.

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
Heard the song I got.

Speaker 6 (01:04:48):
Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
She raps for all in the back stadium pact. Just
glad to see the city on the map. I just
gave the city life. It ain't about who did it first,
about who did it right? Looking like bridge open cases
only for for Omega h. I find peace knowing that its.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Machine gun in the summer time.

Speaker 10 (01:05:15):
On that man.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
But it sound like he was wrapping the flyers of die.
There's no money. Do the cricks sing last sad love songs?

Speaker 10 (01:05:22):
I know, but.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
Man made the right decision. Sold in the rest of
the Wu Tank And He's right, What the hell did
that song have to do with tank?

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Yeah, that's that's parts of it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
That's what reason like to me, it just seemed like
another cool Drake song.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
If you do a record called Wu Tang Forever as
a rapper. It should be paying homage to the wool
Tang clan.

Speaker 21 (01:05:44):
Yeah, what should make more sense? And I know in
wrapping up this hour, switching gleears completely. Uh, we were
talking about Diddy and all the documentary things.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Uh again.

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
With Joy and Red. I did want to mention this
real quick.

Speaker 21 (01:06:00):
There was a lawsuit Clinton Howard, who's a male sex
worker who claimed that he had or a legged he
had done some things with Diddy and Cassie. He has
his last lawsuit out against Cassie up and they've been
trying to serve her and a judge just ruled that
they can serve her or get it to her by
any means because she's been unreaching unreachable. Now any means
is not clear. Uh, but it's basically like you know,

(01:06:23):
all the attempts that they've been trying to attempt so
far haven't worked, so they're allowing them to kind of
broaden their scope of how to get.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
The Uh what's a lawsuit on?

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
What is he saying?

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
What happened?

Speaker 21 (01:06:31):
So he is alleging that he was okay, So he's
allegend No, he's alleging that he has.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
I recognize the sign get it no difference.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
I just don't want to get they're wrong.

Speaker 10 (01:07:01):
It's traffic.

Speaker 21 (01:07:04):
Yes, he accused, So he's accusing them of what he's
accusing them of, refusing to accept.

Speaker 7 (01:07:14):
I can't get this wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:07:15):
We've been had a loss of the beer.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Come back.

Speaker 20 (01:07:17):
I like to try.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
Do you tried? Yes, try trying, trying.

Speaker 6 (01:07:26):
Try to get the sex worker.

Speaker 21 (01:07:28):
I thought this was this is not him and almost
said the wrong abllegations and that would have been bad.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
So I'm glad you didn't. Learning, young grass, who're giving
your donkins for after the hour? Man, I need all
of these critics who have some things to say about
a couple of picks on Zoran m Donnie's transition team.
I need them to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a world with him. Please, all right,
we'll do that. Next it's the breakfast club.

Speaker 10 (01:07:49):
Come morning.

Speaker 6 (01:07:50):
It's gonna be a dunk because right now you want
some real.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we
ever feel I need to be a man, he be
with the heat. Did she please?

Speaker 6 (01:08:02):
Doesn't I had become Donkey of the day the practice.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Club, he mother e f and Hall donkey today for Tuesday,
December ninth, goes to all these critics of Zoran Mundanie's
transition team. Now, if you haven't heard, Zoran Mundani, the
mayor elect of New York City, has been putting together
his transition team. First of all, what is a mayor
elects transition team? A mayor's transition team is a group
of trusted advisors, experts, community leaders assembled by a mayor

(01:08:30):
elect between their election victory and inauguration to prepare for governing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
They helped to select key staff, and they helped to
develop policy priorities.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Two people that Zoran.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Has selected our two individuals I support heavy, Okay. One
is our fearless leader, the good sister to me Ka Mallory,
dropping the clues bombs for to Meka Mallory. The other
is the good brother, my son, dropping the clues bombs
from my son. I know my son since like old
six or old seven, whenever he first came home.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
Full disclosure. Not only are those my people, I do
business with both of them. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
My imprint Black Privileged Publishing published both to me because
books State of Emergency, How to Win in the Country
We Built and her Memoir I Live to tell the story.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Great stocking stuff was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
By the way, my imprint Black Privileged publishing publishers their
podcast as well TMI.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
So in case you didn't know, now you know now.
Both of them have been named to Zoran Mundani's transition team.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Excellent choices if you ask me, you know why they
are excellent choices because they are true public servants, okay,
who don't give a damn about politics.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
They care about the people.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
They actually do the thankless work of activism, dropping the
clues bombs for their organization until freedom.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
And we all know activism comes with great risk and
very little rewards.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
So when I saw Zoran add them to his transition team,
I said, oh good, Okay, he's got a couple of
people that are that are gonna hold him accountable. And
I knew they were great picks when I saw the
attacks come for both of them mmediately.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
The headlines for Tamika were Mundani transsition team includes Women's
March leader embroiled and anti Semitism scandal. Fox News headline
was Mundani taps disgraced activists who said one day we
can abolish police the Key Public Safety Committee. Both of
those headlines were about t Meeka Mallory. Just because you

(01:10:18):
are against the killing of innocent kids and gods in
Palestine doesn't make you anti Semitic. And just because you
believe you should reallocate funds from police budgets the community
based services like mental health, housing, education, violence prevention, because
you want to address the root causes of crime, that
don't mean you want to abolish police. You just want
to reduce reliance on policing for social issues.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
And you're promoting public safety through community well being rather
than punishment. You ask me, that's the perfect person to
have on your public safety committee. Okay, now, the good brother,
my son. The NY Post ran a headline that said,
Zoran Mundani taps ex con rapper who served seven years
for armed robbery as criminal justice advisor on transition team.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
And I just saw on the front page of the
New York Post today, the front freaking page.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
They have a picture of Myson with the headline crime
boss when Donnie appoints rapper who serves seven years for
armed robbery as justice advisor Number one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
My song was convicted in nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Okay, he was like nineteen or twenty maybe twenty one,
who served seven years for armed robbery as criminal justice
advisor on transition team.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Where do we begin?

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
Number one Mason was convicted in nineteen ninety nine, Okay,
he was like nineteen or twenty maybe twenty one. He
was sentenced to seven to fourteen years, came home on
parole in two thousand and six, and he's been a
model citizen ever since. He's a community activist, Okay, spends years.
He's spent years volunteering as a violence interrupted. He has
an organization called Raising Kings, a nonprofit group that teaches

(01:11:59):
classes inmates at Rikers Island.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Okay, Benny Bossio I think his name is.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
He's the president of the Correction Officers Benevolent Association said
it is both disheartening and deeply disturbing that individuals who
are convicted felons and have a history of breaking the
law are being given the opportunity to help shape the
future of New York's criminal justice system.

Speaker 12 (01:12:21):
Huh, Bennie, are you serious?

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
You are corrections officer who doesn't believe in people who
have been corrected. Masan has first hand lived experience with
the system. He understands communities that have been disproportionately affected
by over policing, mass and consceration.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
He walked the walk and he survived it. Okay, that's
what you should have.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Want a symbol of a more restorative, human centered model,
not just this tough on crime system that we've been using.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
Okay, he has a redemptive story. Isn't that what we want?
Our redemption only for everybody, but black men.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
They always want to reduce us to our worst moments,
and they never want to acknowledge our growth. My son
can reach people that Zoran or no other politician can,
and that's what they don't want. That's what they are
afraid of. They don't want more stories like my son.
They want black men in prison forever. They don't want
no redemption for us. And that's why I love Mundannie's

(01:13:18):
choices because he picked someone in people. But in the
case of my son, he's picked someone who has lived
through incarceration and now advocates for reform. Listen to all
these critics, you know, you say you want criminal justice
reform and then get mad when somebody who's actually been
through the damn.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
System gets a seat at the table.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
What grope ain't always pretty and EXPERTISESE don't always come
in a suit. Zoran picks someone with a pass to
lead us into the future, and I, for one love it.
Please give all these critics of Zoran Mundani's transition team
the biggacy.

Speaker 15 (01:13:54):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
I can't believe that they got Myson on the front.
I'm adding this to the end of the chat. I
really can't believe that they got mice on on the
front of the New York Post with the headline crime boss.
This this this gotta be liable, yo, Absolutely, this man
a crime boss.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
This man ain't been to prison. This man with the
prison in nineteen ninety nine, came home on parole in two.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Thousand and six, has been a model citizen ever since.
How can you put him on the front page of
the New York Post and call him a crime boss.
This has to be something of defamation or something that ay,
And it's so crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
All the positive things he did in the community, all
the positive things he did for New York City, all
the positive things he's done around the country. Never in
the paper this man is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
And by the way, you have him on with another
one of his initiatives, the boycott Black Murder, His t
shirt literally says boycott black murder.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
His hat says boycott black Murder. That's who this man is. Now,
how could y'all like this is? This is crazy? This
is great. This gott to be liable in some way
shape or for him.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
Come on, man, Yeah, well, thank you for that, donkey,
but he should be able.

Speaker 7 (01:14:58):
To sue them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
That is crazy. Absolutely, post you an apology. Oh this
is nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Well all right now, thank you for that. Dog of today. Now,
when we come back, slew to Mimi, who does Front
page News segment. She was talking about some of the
worst Christmas gifts of the year, and she said the
worst gift was actually a self help book. She said,
people do not want a self help book for Christmas.
Who're talking about? You, say, Daniel's talking about? Who's talking about?

Speaker 6 (01:28:32):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
She'd be having the latest on you. The Latest with
Lauren la Rosa.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. So it's the latest
on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 20 (01:28:46):
Talk to me.

Speaker 6 (01:28:47):
I'm doing my last segment in my new code that
en be got me.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
And you look really good.

Speaker 7 (01:28:51):
I'm looking at you in the chat like on my computer.
You look good and I can't wait to do.

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
It with a red lit.

Speaker 21 (01:28:55):
Okay, I'll be at the Power Sessions on December thirteenth.
I'll see y'all there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
No that's the only check you getting. Okay, it's nothing
after that, you know what.

Speaker 21 (01:29:03):
I'm focused the last hour I brought in, uh, this
new filing with Cassie, and I had the wrong information
on the sex worker, and I didn't want to get
it wrong, so I went back and got the right
information correct myself real quick, real quick. So Clayton Howard
is the sex worker who was trying to catch up
with Cassie to give to serve her this lawsuit. He
say he's been saying he's been having issues. Now he's

(01:29:25):
suing Cassie because he's alleging that Cassie was pregnant with
his baby after he was brought into the free costs
and bordered it without telling him and then continued to
have unprotected sex with him. He also alleges that Cassie
gave him an STD. He says he alleges that he
was manipulated into taking ecstasy, unprotected sex, and that he
was ordered to do things like masterbait that yeah, resulting

(01:29:49):
in tears.

Speaker 6 (01:29:50):
Skin peeling, and scabbing to his private part.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:29:54):
So he's suing for physical injury, lost wages, medical expenses,
pain and suffering emotion stress. Uh, and loss of enjoyment
of life, and the issue has been trying to serve
Cassie or her attorney. So now he's been granted by
a judge, you know, figure out alternative means to get
it done. He's saying that since they're making public statements
to outlets, they should be able to respond to this
or you know, be served, but they haven't been able to.

Speaker 6 (01:30:15):
So there will be some updates there.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
No, that's a I would think that's a smart lawsuit
because Cassie got that money, right, Cassie got paid a
lot of money. But she may have not been brought
up on anything criminal, but I can see what someone
would probably bring up something on her civil But how
does that work when you're a sex worker, because it
isn't the sex workers work illegal?

Speaker 10 (01:30:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Is it?

Speaker 10 (01:30:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
It is illegal? Yeah it is yeah, yeah, yeah. You
and he was a legend robbed, Like how could you say?

Speaker 6 (01:30:42):
Yeah, I don't know, And.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
How do you prove that you masturbated so all that
the skin came off, Like if he's.

Speaker 21 (01:30:51):
There would have to be like some medical records or something.
Probably all because he's saying that he was, you know,
he was physically messed up but we're gonna move on
and I'll come back with more. Shout out to Grouchi
Greg at all hip hop. This was his exclusive Greg Watkins.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
Now you're matthter bring that much. You gotta put the
shakewaight down.

Speaker 21 (01:31:14):
Stop using the shaway, yes, yes, stop using the shape
way all right now. In other court news, Dame Dash.
So these documents were filed yesterday. So remember when Dame
Dash was ordered to hand over Poppington LLC that had
all of those movies under like Honor Up and all
those things.

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
So they are now headed to an auction.

Speaker 21 (01:31:35):
So yesterday a US Marshall for the Southern District of
New York said that he is ordering a public auction
of audio and visual assets under Poppington LLC, with Honor
Up being a major asset of ownership. This was the
film that was ep by Kanye West and it contained
performances by Kim Cameron, Stacey Dash, Dame Dash and other people.

(01:31:56):
So the auction's gonna happen December thirtieth in New York.
Minimum bid is three hundred though dollars and it will
be streamed. There will be video and things like that.
So if you attend to auction, you're giving them permission
to film you while they're And also yesterday they filed
a one of the trustees who's handling his bankruptcy filed
a response saying that she had a meeting, which is

(01:32:16):
what they do during their bankruptcy proceedings to figure out
whether they believe you or not. And it doesn't sound
like she believes him. So now they're going to have
to do some more digging into his finances because they
don't believe that what these claim is actually what is happening.

Speaker 6 (01:32:29):
So there's a little update there.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
Well, Leise Navi dot, but leis Navi dot Prospero, I
know why.

Speaker 7 (01:32:40):
Prospero.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
I don't know what he said?

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
Yes, So also it ending this.

Speaker 21 (01:32:47):
So Kamara Kimora is talking about you remember when her
and Russell's daughter was seen out with that sixty five
year old man.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
How old she at?

Speaker 21 (01:32:59):
I'll look up how oh she was, but she definitely
wasn't old enough to be with a sixty five year
old man. Now she is finally having a conversation about this.
Let's take a listen to what her response is on
her daughter dating that man.

Speaker 13 (01:33:11):
Okay also had some other press which one with the
sixty five year old man.

Speaker 6 (01:33:18):
Why is it a big deal though, because if you
look back, okay, well, first.

Speaker 13 (01:33:20):
Of this, why is this stunning young hop beautiful see
that all the time.

Speaker 12 (01:33:24):
What was your reaction to that in real time?

Speaker 17 (01:33:27):
First of all, I know this guy, but I didn't
know this guy in that capacity like with my kid,
or that you were even dating my kid, or even
I know this guy growing up myself.

Speaker 2 (01:33:36):
It was a restaurant her.

Speaker 10 (01:33:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
You know, I don't want to get.

Speaker 17 (01:33:39):
Into troubles legally, but I think I think his reputation
probably precedes him. So I was learning some of these
things as I went along. Yeah, I didn't even know
this was a thing. I found out when the world
found out.

Speaker 12 (01:33:49):

Speaker 17 (01:33:50):
But I do think in general of those kind of
things I think I feel like and having gone through
not exactly the same, but similar, that big age gap
relations ship, I do think it's predatorial.

Speaker 5 (01:34:02):
Yeah, so that was her, that was Yeah, that's crazy
for her to find imagine her as a mother finding
that out with the world.

Speaker 6 (01:34:11):

like you said, they started, they met when she was seventeen,
Russell was thirty five, and they married when she was
