walk one and bring it back in, and then walk
the other one and then bring it back in.

Speaker 9 (04:02):
Nice, I'm okay, thank you so much, Okay, sure, okay, right,
all right, Well, let's get the show cracking front page
news when we come back as the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
Good morning morning, everybody, it's j N v Ess, hilarious,
Charlamagne the God.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
Let's get in some front page news.

Speaker 10 (04:25):
What's up Morgan, Hey y'all, Hey, how y'all feeling Hey, good, okay,
we love to hear that.

Speaker 11 (04:32):
First off front page.

Speaker 10 (04:33):
More updates on this attack out of Boulder, Colorado. Now,
the FBI says Mohammed Sabrey Solomon planned the attack and
Boulder on Sunday for over a year. In court document,
Solomon said he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov cocktails. Yeah,
he's a husband and a father of five, and he
allegedly planned or said that he had planned the attack

(04:54):
for one year but waited until his daughter graduated to
carry it out. Now, documents claim he also said he
wanted to kill all Zionist people, in which they were
all dead. Now, meanwhile, the White House is pointing out
the immigration status of the suspect. Press Secretary Caroline Lovit
noted that the Egyptian man overstayed his tourist visa and
the Trump administration is taking a look a hard look

(05:15):
at these types of attacks, saying they should never happen.
Let's take a listen to White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovit.

Speaker 12 (05:22):
Any individual, especially illegal criminals, who engage in acts of
terrorism will be held accountable under this president. This terrorist
came into our country under the previous administration. Joe Biden's
administration foolishly gave him a tourist visa and that allowed
him to unlawfully remain in our country.

Speaker 10 (05:42):
She went on to say this person should have been
deported a long time ago. And of course, President Trump
said the attack will not be tolerated in the United
States of America, and he added that the suspect came
in through Biden's quote ridiculous open border policy, and he
quote must be he must go out under Trump policy.

Speaker 13 (06:01):
Now.

Speaker 10 (06:02):
Meanwhile, Governor Colorado Governor jareded Polis, he spoke yesterday in
Denver saying there doesn't appear to be an extended conspiracy
involving the Boulder fire attack suspect, and he's confident the
suspect will have his day in court. Let's take a
listen to Colorado Governor Jarrett Polis and his comments.

Speaker 11 (06:20):
At this point, we have no reason or information that
there was any type of extended conspiracy, although that investigation continues.

Speaker 14 (06:27):
I'm confident he'll be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law.

Speaker 10 (06:31):
Of course, the suspect, Mohammed Sabriy Salomon, as mentioned before,
is accused of using a makeshift flamethrower and malotov cocktails
in Sunday's attack, which seriously injured eight people. He's already
been charged with a federal hate crime, and the forty
five as mentioned before, as well as the forty five
year old a gemption man was in the US legally.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
Let me ask you guys a question when it comes
to lot is I notice is a small part of
the problem. But the fact that people can actually google
some of these things Google how to make a mouse
for a cocktail, whatever you call it, or Google how
to make a ghost gun, or google how to make
a bomb. Sud we be cutting some of these off
things off online where people just can't get access to
it that fast.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 10 (07:12):
And then to your point, as you were saying previous
in previous days about how they're going to moving forward,
some students will be vetted on social media.

Speaker 11 (07:21):
I'm sure that could be a thing as well.

Speaker 10 (07:23):
It's like what have you been looking up, what have
you been googling, what have you been researching? And so
maybe that could add to essentially that vetting process.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
But yeah, you know, people who want to kill you,
people who want to harm you, they gonna find a
way and you know, this is a sad, sad situation.
And Harry, I don't know how to combat this level
of bigotry. I don't know how to combat this level
of prejudice. If I did as a black person, I
would have made it stop a long time ago.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Just make it a little more difficult though, the fact
that you can google how to make a bomb.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
And then it give you step by step.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, but I'm talking about the bigotry and the prejudice
and the racism and the anti Semitism that fuels people
to do these type of things. I don't know how
to make that stop. Like I said, if I as
a black person, I would have made this stop a
long time ago for us, all right, And this is
what this is just who some people in this world are.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Sad.

Speaker 10 (08:07):
It just it just is very very sad, very deep rooted.
But I will keep you guys posted as to what
happens with that story.

Speaker 15 (08:14):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (08:15):
That's US front page News for six a m. At
seven am. Stick around. We're still talking about Trump's so
called big Beautiful.

Speaker 11 (08:21):
Bill, and we're still on the topic for.

Speaker 10 (08:23):
Whatever reason of Joe Biden's mental health decline.

Speaker 11 (08:27):
So we'll talk about that because.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know why we're still on that topic, because we're
on that topic because the Trump administration is here because
of that mental decline.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
And I also want to say, this is why.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Whenever you see bigotry, or you see prejudice, or you
see racism or anti semitism of any kind, you should
speak out against it. Although Martin Luther King Junior said,
an injustice anywhere as a threat to justice everywhere.

Speaker 3 (08:46):

that they could keep up with the Western countries and
remind elect the second one wasn't the same for Easthiopia.
It was Russia that since people to help them start
with their educational system and their healthcare system. And they
said some generals also for their military strategy. And it's
because of that that they were able to defeat the

(16:03):
Roman invader or the pope throwing around the Parler conference.
Russia also helped the slaves gain their prisom how because
Fred wanted to say soldiers over here to fight with
a confederacy. Russia had six Russia sleeps over here. They

Speaker 3 (18:09):

Speaker 22 (18:11):
Yeah, we do so push your tea, sat down with
g Q and spill all the beans.

Speaker 21 (18:15):
He said death.

Speaker 22 (18:16):
Jim tried to censor him, we'll send your Kendrick Lamar
on the Clips new album, and he was not going
to do it. So eventually they all right, all right, okay,
it's a lot.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
All right, it's a lot. We'll get to it next.
It's the Breakfast clo.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Morning everybody, steej Envy, just hilarious.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
Charlamagne to God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
to the latest.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Lauren wanna be coming the street things.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
She gets them, somebody that knows somebody.

Speaker 21 (18:47):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
She'd be having the latest on you, The Latest with
Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit everything.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
It's the latest the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 22 (19:02):
Okay, y'all, so let's get into this Push Your T
clips conversation. So Push Your T and his brother Malice
sat down with GQ and they had a conversation about
everything where music is now and the fact that you know,
they have their first album coming out.

Speaker 21 (19:15):
It's been fifteen years.

Speaker 22 (19:17):
But one of the biggest questions that a lot of
people had is why has it taken so long? And
according to Push You T, he says that depth Jim
tried to censor Kendrick Lamar's verse on a song that
they have on the album, and eventually it turned into
a back and forth censer it, take the song off,

(19:37):
and then from there it went to them eventually dropping
clips and Push Your T solo and then them moving on.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, it hasn't been fifteen years because of that.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
It was fifteen years because you know, the one brother
gave up rap at one time and allow to do
Christian rapper.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yes, and now they got back together.

Speaker 22 (19:51):
Doing it, But I mean they dropped the press release
over the summer, and over the summer. When they dropped
the press release, and then remember they tease the song
at the LV Fashion Show, people thought that it would
going to be like a lot sooner than right now
than today. So that's what I'm referring to. But so
what happened was when that press release dropped a lot
of people realized that there was no mention of dev Jam,
which was a thing because clips that their whole deal

(20:13):
with death Jim was new. It happened over like the
last year or so, so we were like, what is
going on?

Speaker 21 (20:18):
And instead they.

Speaker 22 (20:20):
Actually attributed attributed the distribution in the marketing to Jay
Z's Rock Nation. So in the GQ article, Pusha t
talks about, you know, they were really excited they went
to death Jam.

Speaker 21 (20:30):
They were proud.

Speaker 22 (20:31):
They thought that, you know what I mean, like everything
was moving how was supposed to move. And then Deth
Jim heard the song Chains and Whips, which is a
song that Kendrick Lamar's on, and they weren't they weren't
going for it. Specifically, there was an attorney with dev Jam,
and they are claiming that this attorney is the person
who said, okay, we have the sense of the song,

(20:52):
and then it was the person who said, well, what
if we just removed the song altogether, and then came
back and said, okay, let's move away from the clips,
drop the clips.

Speaker 21 (21:00):
So push your t's like, well, that was dumb.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
The issue here, nobody's censoring. I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm
sure f JM wanted the sense to Kendrick because they
in the middle of this lawsuit with Drake. Yes, I
guarantee you that has something to do with that long
of course.

Speaker 21 (21:11):
Yes.

Speaker 22 (21:11):
Uh So, according to Push Your Tea, the lawyer's name
was Steve Galley, and he says that they're what he
believes is their issue was that, you know, you got
two of Drake's biggest like arch enemies, right who were
on this song and they're UMG's in the middle of
m they're in the middle of this lawsuits that are like, no,
we can't, like, we don't want any more fire. Let's

(21:31):
just sit back and push your t's Like, well, basically
that has nothing to do with us. So yeah, so
they're like, well, we'll just drop the clips and then
push your t's like, well, the issue is I'm still
here as a solo artist. So if you're gonna let
clips go, let me go as well too. And it
got to the point where that's what they did, So f.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Jam should be ashamed of theyselves. Okay, record label censor
and artists. What happened to my freedom of speech?

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Russe Russell Simmons would never be his president, jay Z
would never when he was president, Leo Covid, Leo Cohen
would never when he was president Vin never Like, like
I said, freedom of speech allow him to say what
he wants to say.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
That makes no sense at all.

Speaker 21 (22:06):
Yeah, I mean I agree.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
But and by the way, albums like the Clips are
the type of albums deaf Jam should be putting out.
So I call that adult contemporary hip hop like like
artists that you know are just timeless and classic death
Jams is supposed to represent a timeless, classic label.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
That's the type of project they should be one hundred
percent behind.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
Well, that was the origin of deaf Jam in the streets,
right when you see all this, like we can go
back from jay Z to GZ to.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
The Clips, like that's the origin of death Jam.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
That's what built death Jam, you know, that's what that's
that's why this is really really weird.

Speaker 22 (22:39):
Yeah, I agree, and I also think too, I think
it's certain artists that you can kind of play around
with like this.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I don't think I don't think they don't.

Speaker 22 (22:47):
Yeah, I don't think that it was smart for them
to even approach them directly, indirectly, whatever, with something like this,
as if they're not they're going to care, they're going
to be quiet about it.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I just bad press for a label that doesn't need it.
Not right now, Just bad press for no reason.

Speaker 21 (23:00):
Not right now.

Speaker 22 (23:01):
I've grabbed one of the photos and for the listeners,
please go take a look at the GQ interview because
they look so good in their photos. Shoot, they're all black,
and they have a ton of different photos, and in
the interview they're actually in a sprinter with the writer
of the article trying to just find food and are
just having a conversation about music and where music is now.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
And those they've aged very well, not just as artists
but as humans. Like you know, when you get to
a certain age, that's what you look at. I don't
care about your designer, I don't care about your cars,
your jury. What do you look like? Is your skin,
clip eyes white. Are you mentally and physically in shape?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
That's what I like.

Speaker 21 (23:33):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
They've always been like that.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
They always been on their workout regimen, they always been
on their eating good food regimen. And they're all about family.
So that's the main purpose of the clip slue to
the clips.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
I also appreciated Malice's perspective when he was talking about
how you don't have to address everything, yes, and how
artists feel the need to talk back today fans and
he was like, you know, you talk about you can
see people's egos taking over and folks never learned to
sit down. And he said, you can rise above that
eternally if you are a peace with yourself.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
They plan out, they plan out.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
If you don't know them and you know, hopefully they'll
come up here, they plan out everything. They plan out
the next five years of where they want to be
with fashion and music and their investments. They plan out everything.
They are very like, They are very methodical when they
come to the way that they think about that.

Speaker 21 (24:16):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 22 (24:17):
And one of the other things too that well, first
of all, I thought that that was a good take
for all us because he's the type he just sits back.

Speaker 21 (24:22):
He doesn't really get involved in anything whatsoever.

Speaker 22 (24:24):
But even in this article he's talking a lot more
about He talks about like he feels like he's watched
the engine leave rap where like he left and he
took a step away, he came back and things are
exactly where they are. But they also talk about whether
this new collaboration with rock Nation means we're going to
get more pusha T jay Z music and push your
T doesn't confirm anything directly, but he does say we

(24:44):
made history a couple of times with a smirk, talking
about you know, their songs that they have already.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
So I would love to hear a whole verse on
the new clips up. That would be the cherry on top.
I don't need it, but I would love to hear
a whole.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Both always comes through for them, So I'm the assuming
that I'm sure you get a whole verse on that.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
I would hope.

Speaker 22 (25:02):
So yeah, yeah, Well make sure you guys go check
out that g Q article. That is it for the
first come out So sorry. The article on the album
comes out July eleventh. It's called uh, let God sort
them out? And right now they have their single, you
have their single.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Play it right now. I'm sure it's not trumpetson.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
No, we don't have in the system.

Speaker 22 (25:21):
But I need to hear that we played it during
then we played during past, Yeah we did.

Speaker 21 (25:25):
Yeah, so we should have it somewhere in the system.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
But yeah not, they only played a thing of it.
I can play, I'll send it in, I'll send it over.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Okay, it'd be like Nigga DJ.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
He ain't got nothing.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
It's not my system, and I got it.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
This is not you better stop because pople really picked
the music up.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
You know what I'm playing.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
When you blazed the trump when you blazed the clips
this morning and you don't have the.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Music clips is Miamis. But let me come back.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
That's what me.

Speaker 21 (25:52):
I should have reminded you this.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
I'll send it over methodical and articulating the way to be.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
That's my home.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
But he bought the baby oil in the room.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah he just didn't. You know what's
so crazy? You show you people all of a sudden, you.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Know, I wish to love you was glazy.

Speaker 22 (26:11):
Break in the room is all that's a crime to
bringing the baby in the room.

Speaker 21 (26:17):
You are complicit and be you brother say you didn't
do that.

Speaker 3 (26:19):

education by.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
His I'm good. It's the Clips Classic. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, front page news.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Next you're checking out the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Morning everybody.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
It's dj NV just hilarious. Charlamagne to god. We are
the Breakfast Club. Now let's get back to some front
page news.

Speaker 10 (27:20):
Oh hey, I'm like, oh, that's I usually like when
you say hot to me, good morning.

Speaker 11 (27:25):
He appreciated. We can put a toss my bag, y'all.
So yeah, As mentioned in the last.

Speaker 10 (27:30):
Hour, uh, the topic of former President Joe Biden's mental
health is still a topic, uh for former Vice president.
Excuse me, Former President Bill Clinton is defending former President
Joe Biden when it comes to claims regarding the decline
of his mental health while he was in office and
running for re election.

Speaker 11 (27:49):
Now.

Speaker 10 (27:49):
Clinton made the comment speaking to CBS Sunday morning. Let's
take a listen to what he had to say about
former President Joe Biden's mental health.

Speaker 8 (27:57):
I thought he was a good president. Only concern I
thought he had to deal with was could anybody do
that job? Until they were eighty six and we did
several long talks. I had never seen him and walked
away thinking he can't do this anymore. He was always
on top of his brief. I saw President Biden hover
long ago, and I thought he was in good shot.

Speaker 11 (28:19):
So what are your thoughts there?

Speaker 10 (28:20):
Clinton was actually on the show promoting his new book,
The First Gentleman.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
So I think Bill.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Clinton is holding the party line, and you know, we
don't need anybody that's continuing to hold the party line
to the detriment of the country, because that's what happened
with President Biden. People held the party line so much
to the detriment of the country because of President Trump
was the threat that everybody said he was going to be,
then they should have governed like a threat, and they
should have been doing things to ensure that threat doesn't

(28:49):
get back into power and running Joe Biden keeping him
in that position definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely didn't ensure that
Trump wasn't gonna get back in that position of power.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
But the sad thing about is we said it right,
We've seen it, and we got ish for people saying
that that's not true, this, that and the other, that's
not happening.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
But we all seen.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
It was and we ain't never met him. I ain't
never met the man. You mean to tell me that
those of us who never met the man saw it,
but people that.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
Used to see him on the regular didn't see it.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Cut it out.

Speaker 10 (29:16):
Well, I think it's just a matter of what you
saw and where you might have saw it. Because I
was around and very heavily involved with the Biden administration
and covering the Vitamin administration. I had been around him
during the time where people were saying he was he
was on his mental decline, and I will say from
a personal perspective that he was just old. It wasn't
giving that he wasn't sharp, he just was old.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
And remember that was just my and that was just.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
You know, the contradiction that Bill Clinton said in that interview,
because I watched that whole interview this weekend.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
He said that.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
He said that, but then he turned around and said,
but you know, I did question if he could do
that job until he was eighty six.

Speaker 10 (29:54):
Yes, he was saying that anybody could do the job
until they were eighty six because the oldest person would
do it.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
I mean, that's what I'm but he's the person. He's
the guy. You can't just say anybody. He was the
guy that was close to eighty six.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
And nobody was attacking it.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
I think if you had a family member that had dementia,
and like mother had dementia, you've seen signs from that.
Joe Biden had that, I seen gis mom had, right,
I seen th same type of signs. So that's worried me.
And if you voted me in somebody you have questions,
and the fact that I feel like they were lying,
you know, concerns me a lot.

Speaker 10 (30:24):
Of course, the concern for sure was legitimate, but you
know whether or not you know what was going on.
But I'm where I'm standing right now, is trying to
figure out why why is it still a topic of conversation,
But you're saying it is because we are where we
are right now.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
So I think it's a topic of conversation because you
shouldn't learn from history, and you know, they just put
out the book The Original Sin, but based off Bill
Clinton's logic. If that's the case, then we should never
discuss what any president does after they are no longer president.
We shouldn't discuss Barack Obama's legacy, we shouldn't discuss Clinton's legacy,
we shouldn't discuss George wish legacy based off what Clinton
is saying. Once a person is out of office, we

(30:58):
shouldn't be talking about them no more. Come on, man,
this is when Democrats sound ridiculous to us. This is
when politicians sound ridiculous to us because there's so many
trying to hold the party line that they sound foolish.

Speaker 10 (31:10):
Tell them how you really feel. All right, We'll moving
on another news. House minority leader, also a Democrat, Hiqum Jeffries,
is among lawmakers raising alarms over President trump so called
One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Now, Jeffries was in attendance
at a rally in Brooklyn on Sunday alongside New York
Governor Kathy Hoecol to detail concerns about what will happen
if the US Senate passes the act. Let's take a

(31:31):
listen to Hikien Jeffries.

Speaker 23 (31:33):
You know, the GOLP tax scam is not one big
beautiful bill. It's one big ugly bill that will hurt
every day Americans, hurt every day New Yorkers, and it's
designed to reward that billionaire donors like Elon Musk So.

Speaker 10 (31:49):
Jeffries also warned and others warned that it will impact
federal funding to Medicaid, causing many of those to lose
health insurance. Now, Trump has said that cuts our targeting
waste and fraud and us on. The US at Senate
is expected to take up the bill this week. They
are officially back in session today.

Speaker 8 (32:06):
Now.

Speaker 10 (32:06):
New York Governor Kathy Hockle also heavily criticized the Trump
administration and Republican lawmakers over a number of issues.

Speaker 11 (32:12):
She says the.

Speaker 10 (32:12):
Republican led plan to make steep cuts to Medicaid is
taking from the poor and giving to the rich, and
a reversed. What's the I'm sorry, reverse what is it
not Peter Pan? Who does who takes from the rich
and give to the poor?

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Thank you?

Speaker 11 (32:27):
And a reverse Robinhood type of situation.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
She says she can't promise that all of her hospitals
will stay open in New York. So this is going
to impact New Yorkers if this bill to cut medicaid
becomes law.

Speaker 11 (32:37):
Let's take a listen to New York Governor Kathy Hockel.

Speaker 20 (32:40):
This is a level of attack that is was unforseeable,
but it has to be stopped. What they're proposing is
basically reverse robin Hood. They're taking from the poor to
give to the rich, and people need to rebel against that.
If we lose three billion dollars for hospitals, I can't

(33:00):
say we're going to be able to keep all of
my hospitals open. I cannot say that right now.

Speaker 11 (33:05):
They have to back off.

Speaker 10 (33:07):
So Hochl also went on to say that it's hard
to protect people from disease if COVID vaccines are no
longer being recommended for healthy children and pregnant women, as
just stated by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
She also says she'll stand up for immigrant rights when
testifying at a houseover site committee in about a week. So,
as I mentioned that Big Beautiful Bill is now being

(33:27):
taken up in the Senate. After the Senate vote, House
lawmakers will have a chance to approve changes to the bill.
And like I said before, Congress is officially back in
session today, so I will keep you posted as to
what happens with that. I had one more story. I'm
not going to get too much into it. I'll just
say that updates and improvements at Newark, New Jersey's Newark

(33:49):
Liberty Airport are underway, and it does appear that things
are moving in a positive direction per Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,
who was there this earlier this week. So it looks
like one of the runways has been that was shut
down for maintenance has reopened. So it looks like things
are moving in a positive direction for Newark Liberty Airport.

Speaker 11 (34:09):
But that's pretty much it. That's your front page news.

Candace Parker will be joining us and we're gonna talk
to her next. So don't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
Morning.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
Everybody is DJ Envy, just hilarious, Charlamagne the gud. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
the building.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Yes, indeed, the.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Legend, Candas Parker.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Welcome.

Speaker 24 (34:50):
Thanks for having me off. How you feeling nice being
in the room? Goodness man, nice having you.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
You know you're one of those people like you know,
people always say like, who would you ever want an interview,
and you really be like, I don't know because you
can't really think of nobody. But then when you see
you on the schedule, you're like, oh, Candas Parker, I
love to have a conversation with Candas Parker.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I really enjoyed your book, That Can Do Mindset, How
to cultivate resilience, follow your heart and fight for your passions.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Can you break down why you called it the can
do mindset.

Speaker 16 (35:18):
Yeah, growing up nickname can short for Candace, you know that.
But my mom, I grew up with two older brothers,
eight and eleven years older than me. And fast forward,
my oldest brother played ten years professionally, played alongside Lebron
for years. My middle brother became a doctor, and so
I just saw these enormous role models that were doing
so many great things. And I think sometimes I doubted myself,

(35:40):
and so my mom from the time I was little
two three years old, she'd always see.

Speaker 24 (35:43):
The doubt in my mind.

Speaker 16 (35:44):
She'd always be like, can do. And it just became
my mantra, and it became my voice in my head.
And I mean it took me through high school knocking
down game winning free throws to shoot even now. And
so then it became an acronym for community authenticity, navigating negativity,
loving the dash, which is the journey in between and

(36:05):
seizing and creating opportunity.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Well, congratulations. On August twenty fiftieth, Jersey will be retired,
well deserved.

Speaker 24 (36:10):
How does that feel to go back home to Chicago.

Speaker 16 (36:13):
I grew up in Naperville and I grew up a
Chicago Bulls fan. I mean they won six championships in
the nineties when I was living there, and so it
became synonymous with winning.

Speaker 24 (36:23):
So to go back and.

Speaker 16 (36:24):
Play basketball in front of the people that first saw
me pick up a ball, and then to win a
championship in front of the people that first saw me
play basketball, I don't think. I mean, that was super special.
I couldn't have written it any better. And you know,
I think, first you dream of a championship being up
in the rafters, and second you dream of.

Speaker 24 (36:41):
Your jersey as well.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
You know, I think it was in the authenticity section
of the book you were talking about, you know, being competitive, right,
and how people don't let women be competitive the way
that the men are. So when you see and I
know you get this all the time, but when you
see the Caitlin Angel rivalry or whatever you want to
call it, isn't that just women being competitive?

Speaker 24 (36:58):
I think it's women being competitive.

Speaker 16 (36:59):
But honestly, I think that the more visibility you get,
the more scrutiny you're gonna get.

Speaker 24 (37:05):
I mean, that's just nature. As women.

Speaker 16 (37:07):
I think society always tries to put you in a box.
So as athletes, we fit outside that box. You're either
too muscular, you're not competitive enough. But then when you
show competitive nature, it's not ladylike. So whatever you do
as a woman, I feel like until we break that
mold in society where it's like okay for us to

(37:28):
be fierce competitors, I think you're always going to have
a different narrative. And so yeah, I look at it
like it's competitive and it's two people going at it,
and sometimes I think it's overblown. Sometimes I think that
like you're making a basketball play and then there's fifteen
angles from different cameras that try to.

Speaker 24 (37:49):
You know, make it something it's not. So I don't know.

Speaker 16 (37:51):
I'm just excited where women's sports is in general right now,
because people are talking about it, people know the names,
people are following the brands, and a lot of it
has to do with the visibility of it. Women's courts
has always been there, it's just the matter of people
tuning in and paying attention. And I think organizations, broadcasters
all that giving it a chance to succeed, not putting

(38:12):
it head to head up against NFL, not putting it
head to head up against.

Speaker 24 (38:16):
Finals or MLB or whatever.

Speaker 16 (38:18):
And so I think now we're seeing more women's basketball,
and because of that, I think that's why it's grown.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
The reason I have I watched a lot of women's basketball,
and I've been watching Angel since college, so since even
that Kitlin incident, I've seen her and Leah Thomas have
a little kerfuffle like she's always getting into it with somebody.
But it's not the same reaction from people. It's just
to me, it's just like women out there playing ball.

Speaker 16 (38:39):
They're being competitive, and I think ballplayers know that, but
now you're getting the casual fans that don't understand that
type of basketball. So I think it's a competitive nature. Now,
are there things that cross the line. Yes, are there
comments and you know, discussions behind things as cross the
line one hundred percent, and I think, you know, we
have to get that under control. But to me, I

(38:59):
think half the time is more competitive than anything.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
But its rivalry as well. I remember, you know, Reggie
Miller with the chokes on. We you know, we still
want action with him regardless. It's still thinks that's gonna
make the press push it a little more.

Speaker 24 (39:12):
By the way, I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry about what happened. Yeah, okay, though,
can I.

Speaker 16 (39:17):
Say maybe next year listen. I'm a Bulls fan, so
you know we're at about it. If you're not first,
your last. So technically we weren't even in the playoffs,
so it's okay, And.

Speaker 6 (39:28):
I want to ask you know you dominated the w
NBA broadcast a mom author which was the most difficult journey?

Speaker 16 (39:35):
Motherhood is a journey that is the greatest gift, gives
you the most rewarding feeling, but it's also the hardest
job that you can have. You think you have it
figured out, and then you have another kid, or you
think you have it figured out, and there's another stage
of life. I have a sixteen year old daughter, a
three year old son, and a one year old son,
and they are all different, and they have all taught

(39:57):
me so many different lessons, and I'm super grateful for
not only what I'm able to bring to the table
and what I teach them, but the lessons they've taught me. Like,
they have humbled me so many times, they have checked
me so many times. They have made me look myself
in the mirror and ask myself, am I.

Speaker 24 (40:15):
Doing what I'm asking them to do?

Speaker 16 (40:17):
And so I think motherhood is one of those things
where I'm just so grateful for it. I'm so grateful
for my daughter and what, you know, us being able
to kind of go through my career and grow up
together and fumble and bump and live across the water
and all of those things. And then I'm super grateful
to be able to now take a moment with my
sons and be able to have a different type of

(40:38):
perspective in motherhood and parenthood.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
What part of your personality do you think was misunderstood
the most during your planning career and this book helped
you to, like, I guess, reclaim in that.

Speaker 16 (40:47):
What's so crazy to me is I think when you're
going through just trying to figure stuff out, you're just
trying to figure it out, like that's what you're trying
to do, but you're going through life trying to like
mask it. And for so many parts of my life
during some of my greatest triumphs, winning championships, winning MVPs,
I was going through struggles behind the scenes within motherhood

(41:09):
and balancing that within relationships, within you know, trying to
figure out how.

Speaker 24 (41:14):
To be authentic and who I am.

Speaker 16 (41:16):
And I think the person that I became in that
process and who I was for my teammates wasn't always great.
It wasn't always who I was, and so I think
through writing this book, it has helped me better understand
who I want to be, who I commit to be,
but also like giving myself grace through those moments, because
I think sometimes we show up and we feel like
we have to be this at work, but we're still

(41:37):
not ourselves and the people around us know that, and
then they start treating us like those people that we aren't,
and then it just snowballs out of control.

Speaker 24 (41:45):
So I think who I am.

Speaker 16 (41:47):
People may have had a different idea, you know what
I mean. And I wasn't always proud of the way
that I treated my teammates or how I showed up
to work every day. But sometimes when you're just trying
to show up and you're trying to make it, you
know that's the best that you can do. So I
think I kind of like went through that and processed
that in writing this book.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
What was the most difficult thing you had to write
in a book? The one difficult thing? He was like
thought about maybe I should take out or you cried
or it was that hard.

Speaker 16 (42:13):
It's really difficult to tell stories that need to be
told that aren't going to paint certain people in a
positive light, And I think I struggle with that because
I like to take the blame. I like to take
the onus on myself in games and losses and mishots
and whatever. I like to say that I've always had
a part in whatever happens. And so writing this is

(42:33):
trying to figure out how do you tell these stories
and how do you tell it where it's it's your
story to tell, whereas you're not telling somebody else's story,
because I was very conscious of that. So just kind
of talking about like my parents' divorce and talking about
leaving the Sparks, the La Sparks, and deciding to go
to Chicago, talking about my wife, and then also like

(42:55):
near and dear to my heart, like Coach Summit, my
coach in college passed away in twenty sixteen, and kind
of navigating that and what to share, what's intimate that
I need to keep with myself to myself, and what
can I share and what I have her blessing and sharing.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
But still kicking it with Candas Parker Charlamagne, Have your
greatness ever made you feel isolated? Like people only saw
kandas park at a player, but not candas pokertive person.

Speaker 24 (43:19):
You know, it's so crazy.

Speaker 16 (43:20):
You know in basketball, there's like a finite time, right,
the ball is going to eventually stop bouncing, you know,
father time. I mean, Lebron has kind of proven that's
not the case, but for most of us. But it's
like your identity becomes the game, Like you keep the
main thing, the main thing that's been my gift my
whole life, basketball has been the main thing. I gave
up prom like left prom to go to basketball, lived

(43:42):
abroad to play basketball. But it's like when you retire,
your identity of the who and the what is separated,
and you realize, like the people that really saw you
for who you are versus what you did. And so
I think that was the biggest struggle for me, is
like everybody has that morning, that death after you retire.

Speaker 24 (44:01):
I mean, I love basketball. It was my first love.

Speaker 16 (44:04):
And so I think, yeah, like separating my identity from that,
And I was very conscious of trying to show people
like I am a history buff, I love to travel,
I'm a foodie, I love wine, tequila connoisseur like all
of those things. I'm so much more than just basketball.
And so having that separation, I know is like huge
for athletes. It is a struggle, like talking to people

(44:26):
that have retired and have gone and walked that path.

Speaker 24 (44:29):
Because it is it is a death a little bit.

Speaker 16 (44:32):
Wellree with my family, honestly, my wife, I'll say my
brother as well. My oldest brother went through this and
he seamlessly transitioned. I planned the transition ahead of time.
You know, I started commentating gosh way back in twenty fifteen,
twenty sixteen, I started transitioning. I started doing more business
and paying attention and wanting to be at the table

(44:54):
and in meetings and things like that. So the transition
occurred before it officially the ball of fish.

Speaker 24 (45:00):
We stopped bouncing, but.

Speaker 16 (45:01):
Boy, there were days where I'd wake up and it's
just like you missed that feeling of walking in eighteen
thousand people are screaming your name, and like the feeling
of like your family's identity is that like they plan
their summers around when my games were, or.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Trips or Medino.

Speaker 24 (45:17):
Since a kid, you've been.

Speaker 16 (45:18):
Doing it, and it's crazy because you realize, although I
don't like attention, that's not what I played basketball for.
It's an event you go play, everybody watches you play,
the attention your parents give it is and then afterwards
everybody's like where are we going to eat?

Speaker 1 (45:33):
You go eat.

Speaker 16 (45:34):
Then it's like you know, and it's like you don't
realize how much of that is a part of your life.
And so for me, I think that was the hardest thing.
But like I said, I have my family. We had
my son last year and he just was like he
had the ability to make me stop and realize, like
that's where I was supposed to be. I've always been
fifteen million different places, and so I think, honestly, my

(45:55):
son heart made me really appreciate retirement because I got
to enjoy all the little things.

Speaker 6 (46:01):
Jealous is not the right word, but do you ever
get jealous or feel away when you look at the
way MW NBA players are treated now than when you
guys played. I just remember, like two three years ago,
I was on a plane flying from Atlanta and.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
There was some players from the Atlanta team.

Speaker 6 (46:16):
They were on the back of the plane and they
couldn't get first class seats and they were riding and
they were struggling, and they know they even said and
talk this, talk about this on the radio. But now
when you see and they're starting to fly private and
they start to make a little more money, they start
making endorsements. Do you ever feel a way like.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Damn, you got to you got to shield a little
bit of that.

Speaker 16 (46:33):
I don't want them to have to go through what
we went through. But I also know that Cheryl Miller,
who never got to step foot in the WNBA, didn't
want me to not have have a league to play,
do you know what I mean? And so I think like, yes,
sometimes would it have made Would I scored more points
if we had a private flight waiting for what I
would have made more?

Speaker 24 (46:52):
Would I have made more like school performances?

Speaker 16 (46:55):
If I could get back the night of the game
and been able to sleep and rest and recover what
I probably had a lot fewer injuries one hundred percent.
But I feel like I'm proud because I know my
name will be mentioned in the conversation of those that
made it possible today, like made the things possible today.
I remember flying commercial in Premium Plus in a middle

(47:18):
seat next to Sylvia Fowls, going to play them in
the Game five of the WNBA Finals.

Speaker 24 (47:23):
We like wrestled over the arm rest I.

Speaker 16 (47:25):
Won, but like they won the game, but I won
the arm ress battle, and I remember thinking like, this
isn't how it's supposed to be. But now on the
other side, I want ownership, like I want to own
a team, like I want to be a part of
that in making it better as well. So I can't
count another woman's pocket. I don't want to. I've done

(47:46):
one myself and the ability to take care of my
family and have all the opportunities I have today because
of the Cheryl Millers and the Nancy Lieberman's and Shimiko
host calls and all those that came before me.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Do you think the world has truly reckoned with how
different your career would be if you were a man
with the exact thame time.

Speaker 24 (48:04):
I talk about it a lot. Yeah, McDonald's all American.

Speaker 16 (48:06):
In two thousand and four, Dwight Howard and myself, we
were the number one players.

Speaker 24 (48:11):
I was woman's he was ment and I.

Speaker 16 (48:13):
Actually there's a blurb in the book where him and
I went to prom when I was in high school
and our trajectories were so different after.

Speaker 24 (48:20):
That day, and I was angry.

Speaker 16 (48:22):
I remember being angry because like inside my house, my
mom and Dad, you can do and be anything, and
you know at that point you couldn't have an il money.
So I'm watching, you know, my quotes beyond shirts sold,
I'm watching everybody in Knoxville wearing my Journey jersey, and
I'm eating Papa John's.

Speaker 24 (48:37):
Before games because the school can't even pay for my
meal because it was illegal at the time.

Speaker 16 (48:42):
And so in the book, I talk about kind of
like I was really upset because yes, he's six', ten, big,
strong but he had this league laid out that was already,
growing that had already been through the growing pains of
WHAT i was about to go. Through and THEN i
just was, like my left hand is better than. His
and SO i was mad BECAUSE i was, like you,
know he has this league to go develop and use

(49:03):
his name and image and, likeness AND i have to
wait four, years go abroad and compete in a league
that you know Was geez twenty years.

Speaker 24 (49:12):
Young.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Wow another part of the, BOOK I love You.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Know it was interesting to read about how you came
to grow to love your, wife, right and it had
me thinking what because you, did like, guys but have
you thinking like what else about?

Speaker 4 (49:27):
Yourself did you realize this is this just isn't.

Speaker 16 (49:30):
Me what's so interesting IS i Think i've spent my
entire life standing, out and somehow in that, process SOMETIMES
i did things just to stand out and not really
listen to myself and WHO i wanted to. Be and
that's kind of opposite of What i've always tried to live.
By and for a long, time it took my daughter

(49:52):
really being like are you? Happy you, know for me
to really look myself in the mirror and, say AM
i just going through the? MOTIONS i always grew up
envisioning myself with A prince charming always and never in
a million years WHEN i do those little trashy magazine,
THINGS i would always talk About Prince. Charming and it's
crazy because sometimes life hands you things and packages that

(50:15):
you least anticipated coming.

Speaker 24 (50:17):
In and that's what happened with my.

Speaker 16 (50:18):
WIFE i, mean she's my best friend and she's been
there through the ups and, downs AND i think it
was about like her AND i both being, like wait a,
Minute like are we allowing other people's judgments to dictate
the next thirty or forty? Years Like i'm going to
allow My instagram followers to really determine WHO i say
good morning to and WHO i say good night to
every single. Night AND i had to take a step

(50:39):
back BECAUSE i really don't care what people. Think but
THEN i really, did and so it was kind of
just like that evaluation and.

Speaker 24 (50:45):
Looking myself in the, mirror when did you?

Speaker 16 (50:46):
Realize WHEN i didn't fight, IT i would, say we
were at a.

Speaker 24 (50:52):
Museum i'm a big. NERD i love like all types of.

Speaker 16 (50:55):
Museums and it was her, mind like it was her
knowledge and like just her ability to carry a. Conversation
and my brother says something when when her AND i got,
married my brother said something that really stuck out to,
me and he, said you, Know cannie needs somebody that's
strong enough to put her in her, place but soft
enough where she feels vulnerable and the ability to like

(51:16):
kind of like lay your head on her shoulder and
be that vulnerable.

Speaker 24 (51:20):
Person and WHEN.

Speaker 16 (51:21):
I REALIZED i was doing, that you, know she would
say something AND i wouldn't have any, Response and at
first some of my friends were.

Speaker 24 (51:28):
Like hold, on who is? She like you know WHAT i,
mean because that's not normally what.

Speaker 16 (51:31):
Happens and then the same thing WHERE i would confess
things that were bothering me or have issues.

Speaker 24 (51:38):
And be comfortable enough to. SHARE i think that's that's
WHAT i.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
NOTICED i was still kicking it With Candice PARKER XW nba,
player two Time olympic gold, medalist and her new Book
That Can't Do mindset is out right.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Now, charlamagne did the people in your life know how
difficult it was for you to KEEP i guess her a?
Secret BECAUSE i, mean like in the book YOU i,
MEAN i got. FUN i got frustrated when you was
talking about how you wanted to tell your brother but
you didn't tell Your mother'm.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Like just tell.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
Him he loves, you you.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Know but did they know or they going to read
this book and realize for the first, Time, like, DAMN
i didn't know it was that.

Speaker 16 (52:10):
Serious i've been on the other side of it Where
i've been the person that has been like everybody.

Speaker 24 (52:15):
Knows just say, it just tell.

Speaker 16 (52:17):
Him BUT i think everybody comes to grips with it
at a different. TIME i know we live in a
world that has pride month and has all these, things
but it is scary because you are put in another.
Category you, Know i'm already in, two so Now i'm
going to be put in a. Third and with someone
that isn't, black She's russian and, white and, SO i,

(52:40):
MEAN i think it's one of those things where it's
like what AM i getting myself? Into AND i know
my family's gonna love. Me my brother was amazing throughout
the entire. Process my family was. Great but my wife's
parents had talked to her for almost a, year you,
know like we had family members that we have separated
ourselves from because in in front with my family and

(53:01):
with my, kids this is the, standard like this is
how we're going to be.

Speaker 24 (53:05):
Treated and so.

Speaker 16 (53:06):
We couldn't go through this process ourselves and help others
go through. It so we had to do it, ourselves
be okay with, it be strong, enough and then you,
know go forward with.

Speaker 24 (53:15):
It can you can't rush.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
It the, Sexuality, paul was one aspect of, it but
you also talked about the race aspect of, it like
you really can with Doctor umar thought that.

Speaker 16 (53:22):
Much, No but it's a different dynamic when you walk,
it you know WHAT i. Mean, like first of, all
like even with our, kids it's like you, know they
have a black mom and a white, mom and you,
know it's like navigating the race element and the conversations
we've grown up in two completely different, Countries so having

(53:45):
those conversations like she's not coming from a place of
understanding through experience and so, like even so we're confident
and we're cool within our, household but it's, like you
don't understand the other noise that could mess that.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Up that makes. Sense have there ever been a time
where you dimmed your light to make others feel, comfortable
especially in rooms full of?

Speaker 24 (54:05):
Men you, know it's so. FUNNY i, WAS i was
sitting on the shop.

Speaker 16 (54:10):
And it was With Draymond green bron was, there mav was,
there and they were, like you, know people don't understand
what it's like to be a black man and be
the only one in the.

Speaker 24 (54:19):
Meeting AND i was looking, around like what y'all really
just said? That like read through you know WHAT i?

Speaker 16 (54:27):
Mean SO i think sometimes you have to pick your
battles a little. Bit as a, teammate my job is
to make those around me. Better so same thing when
you're sitting at these, Tables like the point isn't to
make people feel stupid or feel. Small the point is
to make them understand the need for different voices at the.
Table AND i would say diversity of. Thought i've sat

(54:51):
at so many tables and been the Only i'm, comfortable
But i'm tired of being the. Only WHEN i went
INTO t AND t as the only female on that,
set a lot of people, Think, HEY i want.

Speaker 24 (55:03):
You you, know you're.

Speaker 16 (55:05):
Trying to be one of the. Guys, like, No i'm
trying to be one of the. Players that's, It so
treat me as. Such the WAY i see the game
is way different than shack, shack throw the ball down,
low barbecue chicken.

Speaker 24 (55:14):
Shack other people have to do. Moves we can't just
we just.

Speaker 16 (55:18):
Can't, Yes but like the way he played was just
so dominant that he doesn't understand that people have to
do stuff to. Score he's, like just throw it down
there and. Score and it's, Like cat can't do.

Speaker 24 (55:28):
That he's not do you know WHAT i.

Speaker 16 (55:30):
Mean i'm not, saying But cat can't do, that D
wade AND i.

Speaker 24 (55:33):
Can we can't do.

Speaker 16 (55:34):
That we have to do moves and use the mental
aspect and element of. It BUT i feel like the
value that is brought to the table if you had
fifteen shacks what you know as, analysts but he brings
value to the equation because he was so, dominant and
it gives you a bird's eye view of like, dominance
and SO i just think anytime you have different people

(55:56):
at the, table you're gonna bring different perspectives like why?
Not and so it just drives me. CRAZY i Watched First.
TAKE i Like STEVEN. A. Smith he's super knowledgeable about the.
Game but like the people that comment under my posts
about How i'm a, WOMAN i never played in THE
nba AND i should shut the f up and blah blah,
blah but they are Like STEPHEN. A smith has The

(56:16):
bible for THE, nba and.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
It's like he has.

Speaker 16 (56:20):
But it's just because you know he's a. Man and
SO i just am continuing to fight that. Stigma i'm
open for the. Challenge i'm up for. It grew up
with two older. Brothers all we did was make fun
of each, Other So i'm. GAME i can speak that.
Language but it's just having the opportunity to like separate,
myself like don't like me as an, analyst but don't
not like me Because i'm a.

Speaker 24 (56:39):
Woman that's my.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
Thing if they're A wnba, teammate you didn't appreciate in the,
moment but now you realize that person was.

Speaker 24 (56:45):
Vital oh that's a, really, really really great.

Speaker 16 (56:48):
QUESTION i would SAY i appreciated her in the, moment
BUT i don't THINK i appreciated her enough in the.
MOMENT i would say Definitely Delicia Milton. JONES i think
she's someone and that was in the league for such
a long, Time she had such an amazing, career, longevity
won championships with the, sparks played different, roles played key,
roles came off the bet like she did it all

(57:10):
and SO i think she genuinely wanted me to. Succeed
and you, KNOW i was a rookie when she was,
there and you, know we got in some brawls. Alongside
she beat me up in practice coming off, screens and
it was like all that was tough love because she loved.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Me and you, know you talk about a lot of
things in the, book but what's something you haven't forgiven
yourself for, yet even if nobody else knows about.

Speaker 16 (57:29):
IT i would SAY i struggled for a long time
in the closing seconds of games, Mentally, WOW i did because.

Speaker 24 (57:37):
The results didn't work out for.

Speaker 16 (57:38):
ME i talk about that a lot in this, book
about how NAIVE i. Was my rookie, year we lost
by a last second. Shot nine years, LATER i was
still losing by last second, shots AND i felt myself
in those moments tense. Up when PRIOR i would relish
in those moments LIKE i would Be i'd want the,
ball AND i would find myself shying away from those
moments BECAUSE i had conceded to the fact that it

(57:59):
was just not going to work.

Speaker 24 (58:00):
Out and it took my.

Speaker 16 (58:02):
Brother it took me finally realizing how to relinquish results
and just live in the, process the dash.

Either so yesterday in court Witnessed mia who was the
former personal assistant Of, diddy that alleged that she was
raped three three times she talked about in, court but
more than three, times and that she was like physically
assaulted at work and all of these.

Speaker 21 (01:00:23):
Things was on the.

Speaker 22 (01:00:24):
Stand Brian, Steele Young thugs attorney was doing her cross
which is where you know he's questioning her For diddy
from didty side of it? Right complete Pitbull WHEN i
tell you he went at her like straight at. Her
he called, her you, know sexual assault, claims a me
too money. Grab he told her she was a liar
while on the, stand to the point where the judge

(01:00:47):
had to stop the back and forth got questioning and
they had to have a cyberd. Conversation they came back
and was, like, listen the way that you are having
a conversation with her it is it's, Hostile like it's
too much yeah in your, tone and it's, humiliating and
like the judge gave them a talking. To he came
back and still was on his best bs, though Like

(01:01:09):
i'm not gonna, lie LIKE i say one hundred. Percent
everything was being, objective but he still kept going and they.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Looked like it helped or.

Speaker 22 (01:01:16):
Hurt at, FIRST i thought it was hurting because she's
up there talking about she can't remember certain things when
it comes to her sexual assault or she doesn't know
why she kept reaching back out to diddyva text and
different things after she was no longer an employee with,
him and after she received a settlement after they decided
to go split ways as an employee because of mental.

(01:01:36):
Health like she was blaming a lot of things on mental,
health not, blaming but she was referring to her mental
health and her conditions and not really understanding herself why
she was still in such a. Hold And i'm, like,
yo he's being so aggressive but Then i'm watching it
And i'm, like, wait if all you got is like
her account of, things because there's no text messages or no,
emails there's no anything written where she's telling a friend
about the alleged, events not even just sexual, assault but

(01:01:59):
like having get on a boat and paddle away From
diddy and in the water at one point or so
last week she talked about, that like having to get
On it wasn't a, boat she, said it was.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Like a.

Speaker 22 (01:02:10):
Those little, boards like a yeah something paddle. Board she
says she had to get on a paddle board at
one point to get away from him during like one
of his like alleged like crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:02:20):
Yeah and then The Prince party.

Speaker 22 (01:02:22):
Incident uh did that alleged incident When diddy came out
and was trying to drag her And cassie back into
the party because he was mad she was.

Speaker 11 (01:02:29):
There.

Speaker 22 (01:02:30):
Uh The Brian steel was, like so all of these things, happen,
right these big. Events there's no, photo there's no, video
and you used to document everything For. Diddy you didn't
text a, friend you never emailed anybody we. Have there's
nothing written in Solid And i'm, like, okay so now
you just got to hang on what she's, saying and
it's like do you believe he or? Not but she's very,
timid And Brian steel was, Like, nope that's a. Lie,

(01:02:50):
nope that's a. Lie And i'm, like, well If i'm a,
juror now you got to believe him or. Her and
he is bringing these things around full. Circle SO i
think not even THINK i have a friend that was
actually in the, court BECAUSE i was in the overflow
room in the actual court where you could see the
jurors who said that the drawers were reacting to the
questioning a line of, question like openly reacting like they,
would you, know when she could answer certain, questions it's like, okay,

(01:03:13):
wait like they're not saying, it but you can see
in facial insprestions and things like that that they were,
like oh, wow, okay what's, happening because that's how we
all felt in the overflow, room like, Wow brian still
is destroying her right. Now SO i thought it was
kind of. Effective but up next on the, stand you
have a video expert who's gonna talk about that video
from The Inner Continental hotel Because diddy's team is saying
that video was like sped.

Speaker 11 (01:03:34):
Up you have.

Speaker 22 (01:03:37):
You, know a Witness jane, though who's also going to
speak to some allegations as. Well but at this, point,
AGAIN i really think that it's time For diddy's team,
to like the government the Rest diddy team to come
up and bring their witnesses on because do.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
We know Who diddy's witnesses are?

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Now?

Speaker 22 (01:03:51):
No And i've been trying to figure that. Out who
How who's gonna get on that stand because that they
said If diddy's going to get on the, stand they
have not, said, yeah, SURE i.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Think diddy should get on the. Stand and did he
should be the defense's number one? Witness did he should
get on the stand and basically throw himself at the
mersity of the? Court he should? Be is he should
just be honest about everything that has happened in his
life from from from day? One they Should they should
basically just lay out a bio For, diddy from the
time he lost his father to losing his best friends
Like wolf and you Know bigg And Ken porter And.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Andre just lay it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
ALL i just lay out of a story of trauma
and sadness and how he turned the, drug about the,
alcohol about the alco.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
Everything he.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Should he should just get on the stand and just
lay it all. Out just throw yourself on the mercy
of the.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
Court, well base, down ass up that what's coming?

Speaker 4 (01:04:46):

and he should just go out there and just throw
himself on the mercy of the. Court talk about all the,
tragedy all the trauma he's been, through how you had
to turn the drugs and alcohol and everything, else and
he was, Wild.

Speaker 22 (01:05:07):

Speaker 13 (01:09:11):
Police multiple sources say staff AT fema were left surprise
when the agency's new acting head said he didn't know
THE us had a hurricane. Season David richardson reportedly made
the comments during a Briefing. MONDAY A department Of Homeland
security spokesperson says it was made in just but some
staffers are concerned Since richardson has no prior experience managing natural.

(01:09:34):
Disasters the acting administrator FOR fema just found out That
america has a hurricane. Season wait until he finds out
that water is wet and the sky is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Blue.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Okay can you imagine if the head of NASA's set out, loud,
wait we go to. Space these are the same people
rebelling AGAINST dei because the people they feel are hired
THROUGH dei are. UNQUALIFIED i don't believe your identity should
be the reason you get hired for a.

Speaker 4 (01:10:03):
Job AND i, agree.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
But that should also apply to old white males as,
well because damn, it From pete Heggscept David, richardson we
just keep getting examples of, mediocre unqualified white. Males, Okay David,
richardson the acting head OF fema just found out this
country has a hurricane. Season that's like The Surgeon general, saying,
wait people have. Organs, yes there are some. Seasons we

(01:10:26):
just know pumpkin spice lattes in the, fall egg.

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
Dog and coke keto during the. Holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Hurricanes, Now, okay this isn't some random guy on. YouTube

Depot this is the head OF.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
Fema.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Okay this man is supposed to be the one warning
us the brace for, impact not asking, wait we have
a hurricane. Season we are, doomed, doom, doom. DOOMED i
tell you you know what Else David richardson did in this.
Meeting according TO, cnn he announced THAT female will not
release an updated disaster plan for this hurricane season as previously. Promised,

(01:11:06):
INSTEAD fema will largely default back to its operating procedure
from last. Year though the agency enters this hurricane season
and turmoil with a dramatically smaller, workforce what could go?
Wrong just, look it will be the worst hurricane season in.
YEARS i pray, NOT i, pray, pray pray. Not but
some life lessons we must learn the hard. Way and,

(01:11:28):
oh this, big beautiful country we Call america is gonna learn.
NOW i can See maggie in the comments right now, Saying,
charlamagne you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Idiot he was.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Joking, well AS i just, said he is considering REVERTING
fema back the last year as hurricane plan and cutting
back on. Training so the only joke here will probably
be the agency's preparation for a natural. Disaster, okay they
are really just planning to recycle last year's. PLAN fema
officials hurricane training this year consisted of control plus C

(01:12:00):
troll plus V, Okay, AMERICA i am completely. Flabbergasted as
long As David richardson is the head OF, fema femaie

about The category four that might be brewing in The.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
Atlantic let it sneak up on.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):

Since David richardson just assumed that we didn't have a hurricane, Season,
america if the head OF fema doesn't know we have
a hurricane, season we are.

On now you're feeling, Today i'm.

Speaker 4 (01:14:40):
Good i'm.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Good you you got such an interesting story because you're
A democrat out Of.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
California, yeah but you were raised your parents Were. Republican,
yeah so you were A. Republican what made you? Switch
so to?

Speaker 25 (01:14:51):
Speak they would tell. You they would blame. COLLEGE i
was the first to go to, college and so they're, like,
oh he got brainwashed by those college liberal. PROFESSORS. U.
No the truth is my dad was a. Cop my
mom worked a number of odd, jobs made wedding, cakes did,
ceramics ran like a very, large probably unlicensed daycare facility
with me and my little. Brothers AND i was the

(01:15:12):
first one to be able to kind of get. Out
and WHEN i left the, TOWN i grew up and
was Called dublin and everyone around us called it. SCRUBBLING
i started to realize, that AND i think very much resented.
That it felt like there were like two passive opportunity In,
america like certainly in my, community which was like if
your parents knew, someone or they had like, means or

(01:15:35):
they had, connections, like you could go and try and be.
Anything and if they, didn't then you had to like
work your ass, off probably twice as hard as anyone.
Else and SO i started looking at like different political,
parties AND i, thought, Well democrats believe in kind of
a free market, approach which is like when we're at our,

(01:15:55):
BEST i think that if you work, hard no matter
who you, are you should do better and be in dream.
Bigger And REPUBLICANS i saw it was like a free
for all. Approach but, yeah my parents are Still republicans.
TODAY i have three little. Brothers they don't talk about
it that, much But i'm pretty SURE i know who
they voted. For AND i married a girl from Southern
indiana who grew up in the same town as The.

(01:16:15):
Pences her mom was The pence family dentist until she
retired last. Year SO i have to go On Fox
news if anyone in my family's gonna see me ON.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Tv was it a particular moment or situation that made
you be, LIKE i don't lean in to wars conservative?

Speaker 25 (01:16:30):
Anymore it was in The bush, presidency you, know seeing
a lot of people THAT i grew up with go,
off you, know to a rock and feeling like it
was both like what they were being told and that
it was really more just a power grab and an oil,
grab and it wasn't about the reasons that they were being.

(01:16:52):
TOLD i think that was kind of that completed for,
me the. Transformation but it was really more about opportunity,
because AS i, said LIKE i grew up in a
very like working c, home and the towns that were
around us were very, wealthy and so BECAUSE i played competitive,
SOCCER i got to see and our town didn't have
a competitive soccer, team SO i played in like the
wealthier towns, teams AND i got to see like what

(01:17:14):
the richer kids thought of the poorer kids by playing
on their. Teams and, honestly it was a little bit
of just like resenting that they were able to take
shortcuts and people who worked, hard like they just they
had to do it twice as. Hard AND i, thought,
well one party actually thinks if we all have about
the same, opportunity and then you're defined by how hard you,
work not by who you. Know AND i thought The

(01:17:35):
Democratic party embodied that.

Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
More than The Republican.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
Party you think we'll ever get back to centrist politics ever?

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
AGAIN i hope.

Speaker 25 (01:17:42):
SO i MEAN i was also you, KNOW i came
of age When Bill clinton was, president AND i, thought you,
know he was very good at trying to find like what's,
possible AND i see myself as wanting to do this,
job you, know to solve problems and be in the solution's.
Business and today it feels very like just zero. Sum
whoever wins the other side says that this is, it

(01:18:03):
and that actually goes. Back you, know you had the
search and destroy Under Bill clinton when they wanted to
do anything over a sex scandal to destroy the. Guy
and Then George bush comes, in AND i would Say
democrats are probably guilty of saying like this, is you,
know the most existential threat to our. Country you, know
we're going to lose our country If George bush is.
Reelected and Then obama comes in and you get like

(01:18:24):
This birtherism both and then when the real threat came
And Donald, TRUMP i think Most americans are, Like, okay
that's just.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
What you guys say, Everything that's just what you.

Speaker 25 (01:18:32):
Say so when the real threat was, there we probably
didn't appreciate.

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
IT I i want to, ask what do you think
the biggest thing The democrats got wrong in the last?

Speaker 25 (01:18:40):
Election immigration and public. Safety forty percent of my constituents
were born outside The United. States it's probably one of
the largest groups of immigrant communities you'll find In. America
and we also happen to be today because we've embraced,
immigration one of the wealthiest districts now In. America so
there's a straight line between having people who left, everything showed,

(01:19:02):
resilience created, something and like the wealth they can create
in their. Community, Right so when you have like legal immigration,
channels there's no. End but The american, people they're not
going to let you solve the workforce, crisis in, agriculture in,
hospitality in, restaurants food and. Beverage they're not going to
let you attack that until they see security at the.
Border and the perception that the border was out of

(01:19:25):
control and the reality that the border was out of
control was a. Problem SO i think if we had
just doubled down and, said, yeah we want border, security
we want if people are going to make asylum, claims
we're going to you, know put resources there to adjudicate
those claims as quickly as. Possible but if it's seen
that all you have to do is just come to
The United states or like cross an insecure border and
then you can have access to, resources people aren't going

(01:19:48):
to want to hear your plan to have a million
people come here and work on the jobs that really
need to be. Filled and SO i think we just
weren't seen strong enough on that. Issue and then On,
LAINE i think we rightfully fought for criminal justice reform,
rightfully but we were too too much identified as like
a defund the police, Party AND i think you can have.

(01:20:10):
Both people want safety in their. Community they also don't
want like the wrong person going to jail or people
going to chail for, petty but they want to feel
safe in the, community and we weren't perceived as a
party that was going to keep you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
SICKE i Think democrats miss people, though because when you
talk about home ownership and small, businesses that's literally like
a middle class, thing like like you, know you know
how hard it is to be able to afford a,
Home like some People i'm talking about are just folks
who want to find an apartment that's not three thousand
dollars of. Money you, know they just wanted to have
a couple of meals on the, table you, know throughout

(01:20:44):
the day for their kids like, this that like we
never speak to. That it feels like we always talk
to the middle class and above, that but we never
talked to who's.

Speaker 4 (01:20:52):
Lord AND i want us to be.

Speaker 25 (01:20:53):
Aspirational AND i think a weakness of The Democratic party
is my parents would tell you when people told them
that As republicans they were voting against their interests because
we lived in thirteen different. HOUSES i went to eleven
different schools BEFORE i graduated high, school and people would, say,
well You're republican and you're voting For. Republicans The democrats
are the ones that are going to protect people in

(01:21:14):
your economic. Class and my, parents my mom would, say
my interest is not being, poor and so she saw
The Republican party is talking to her as we are
aspirational for, you AND i Think democrats at our, Best,
YES i want us to have more inventory in housing
so that the cost of housing comes. Down and In, california,

(01:21:35):
frankly a lot of the laws In california getting the
way of builders and developers bringing more, inventory you, know
on stock so that you can have more affordable. Housing
YES i want that for, people just basic, Housing, yes
that is a. Need BUT i want people to aspire
for ownership BECAUSE i think when you own like a
piece Of america like that fulfills The american promise that

(01:21:58):
if you work, hard like you can own. Something and
for Most, americans the greatest source of wealth is their.
Home but more and More, americans especially in my, generation
home ownership is out of. Reach believe. It i'm still
paying off student loan. Debt i've got about eighty thousand
dollars in student loan debt. Today and many people like
me who chase that dream of being the first to
go to, college they're just in the quicksand of student loan,

(01:22:20):
debt and they think that The american promise is both
because they don't own a piece of. It SO i
want us to be more. Aspirational put more housing In
america so that you increase the inventory and you increase
the ability of, people you, know AS i, said to
have skin in the ownership.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Game, well how do you get those poor and disenfranchised
people to even get to a mindset of aspirational because
right now it's just trying to.

Speaker 25 (01:22:41):
Survive, yeah it starts in, school and it's gonna get
worse WITH. Ai so what we're seeing right now WITH
ai is that you're gonna have people who learn the
skills OF ai and they will do better for themselves
because they know. It and then you're gonna have a
whole generation of people who never even had it in
their classroom still.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Have Congressman Eric swilwell in the building now.

Speaker 6 (01:23:02):
Wanted to ask we look At Donald, trump And Donald
trump has been signing executive orders pardoning his, people his
core to the people in the, public looks like he
looks out for his. Own The democrats don't look look
like they look out for their. Own talk about that
a little bit because somebody who sees that, says, well
why AM i messing With? Biden Where biden wouldn't parton
his best, friend he partner his, son wouldn't partner his

(01:23:23):
best friend With Donald trump a pardon anybody that rides.

Speaker 4 (01:23:25):
From he definitely pardoned a lot of his best. Friend,
yeah it Wouldn't.

Speaker 25 (01:23:28):
MARYLAND i think the issue Is democrats are weak with.
Power say it, Again democrats are weak when we have.
Power so we had The White, house The house and The,
senate and not a mom In america would say that
her kid was safer at. School all, Right, Right SO
i have three little. Kids my two, oldest they do
mass shooter. Drills they're eight and they're, Six and so

(01:23:50):
they would look At democrats and, say, wait we gave
you That Holy, Trinity White, House Senate, house and y'all
couldn't pass background checks or an assault weapons and you
let what like the filibuster get in the way of.
It so If democrats And, republicans by the, way they
they will lean in with thin power and pass unpopular.

(01:24:12):
Positions so if we were as strong with power to
pass popular, positions imagine how people would perceive. Us almost
eighty percent of gun Owning republicans believe in background, checks
and we couldn't even get that. Done SO i think
the next president and the Next democratic majority has to
flex when we have.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
POWER i was reading A Wall street journal yesterday and
they asked the question About David. Hall we Had David
hall a couple weeks, ago and the question was That
David hall democrats worst nightmare are the.

Speaker 25 (01:24:41):
Savior i'm On david's, board AND i was on his
board when he founded. It i've known him Since parkland
because that's the ISSUE i care the most. About, Look
david's not wrong that the question is not are you
far left or center? Left it's will you bring old
tactics or new?

Speaker 14 (01:24:58):
TAG i?

Speaker 25 (01:24:58):
Agree and if you're not up to bring new tactics
to take on what's, happening then these times are revealing
who should lead and who should?

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
LEAVE i?

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
Agree why should we have a truth The Democratic party
after they lied to us so?

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
Long above bread the?

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
Embody And i'm big on this BECAUSE i read the
original sin And i'm just, LIKE i don't. SEE i
think That democrats have tried every strategy except for two
things honesty and.

Speaker 25 (01:25:22):
Courage, yeah well there's a lot of people who are
courageous right now in The Democratic. Party our bread and
butter issue are danced. With the one that brought you is.
Healthcare people have always trusted us on. Healthcare that's our,
issue From President johnson To President obama to When Donald
trump tried to take it. Away that's how we won
The house in twenty. Eighteen and now This reconciliation bill

(01:25:43):
is going to take fourteen million people off their health.
Care we're not only going to protect, healthcare BECAUSE i
think protecting health care is not. Enough we need to
invest in. Cures are firing cancer, doctors so we have
a real clean. Contrast we're for, cures they're for, cancer.
Right so that's why trust, us because Forty americans are
going to get a phone call from a doctor to

(01:26:04):
Say i'm sorry you have. Cancer and so you're gonna
if it doesn't come to, you it's going to come
to someone you. Know and so you want the party
that believes in your healthcare and that you have a
right to fight it and not go.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
Broke AND i think we have a chance to do.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
That do you, think, WELL i Know democrats do have
a messaging, problem because it's almost Like democrats love faxing,
figures But republicans talk to people's, gut their.

Speaker 4 (01:26:28):
Emotion when will y'all learn to hit back.

Speaker 25 (01:26:30):
Emotionally we think messaging is winning A Harvard Law school
mood court, competition AND i think messaging is winning a
gut check at the bar or the bus. Stop and
so it means just speaking. Plainly and when you see
the other side elect a thirty four count, felon you

(01:26:53):
should probably see yourself as liberated to just say what you,
believe and not be so polished and scripted and trying
and project what you think a politician should sound, like
because people can call bulk and they're calling, book and
SO i hope what you're seeing now is more and
more of my colleagues. Liberated can it produce some cringe? Moments,
Yes but the other part of this is to always be,

(01:27:15):
on because if you're not always, on you're going to get.
Defined and this happened to us in the last election
on issues that we weren't talking about that, much but
they would define and, exaggerate and then we found ourselves
on defense because we were too scripted and we were too.
Cautious is there Anything democrats can do to stop THE gop? Megawork,
yes continue to go To republican districts and put pressure

(01:27:35):
On i'm getting seven hundred to one thousand people in
these districts WHEN i go and do town, halls and
that downward. Pressure we only need to flip three of
them in The house when if it comes back, again
same thing in The, senate and we Have senate seats
that we did not think were in play that are
going to be in, play not Just North, carolina but Also, Florida.
IOWA i, mean look at The senator Of. Iowa two weeks,

(01:27:56):
ago you would not have said That iowa was going
to be a. Threat and then The Senator riowa went
out and, said, well who cares if we're cutting, Medicaid
we're all going to die. Anyway so like going to
those states doing these town, halls bringing out not Just
democrats But republicans and. Independence that, works and it's also
an organizing, tool a muscle for, us you, know to,
exercise so that we're ready to flex it at the

(01:28:17):
midterms Next.

Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
November is Should democrats who support this bill be? Shamed? No,
democrats you support this?

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Bill?

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
Yeah, yeah, no we do not support this. Bill this
is the same.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Ability That Chuck schumer said he wanted to support, Right, no,
no the spending bill that was a spending.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
Bill, yeah and that's going to come back up In.

Speaker 25 (01:28:32):
September AND i hope we learned our lesson from what
happened In march that we should not be helping these
guys get well, because AS i, said they're firing cancer.
Doctors that's what when you fund their, government you're funding
a government that is firing.

Speaker 4 (01:28:44):
Cancer are they really cutting. Medicate, yes but they say they're.

Speaker 25 (01:28:47):
NOT i mean they say a lot of that they're actually.
DOING i mean we don't read, those. Don't, yeah, Yeah,
no they're really. Cutting it's really in. It they want
to Cut. Medica, yes it it will kick fourteen million
people Off. Medica, wow fourteen million.

Speaker 22 (01:29:36):
Club, well in case anybody was, Wondering Vanessa bryant is not.
Pregnant So Vanessa bryant had to go to her instant
story and post to clear up. Rumors there have been
THINGS i guess spreading. ONLINE i didn't even see the.
RUMORS i just saw her post about. It, Yeah AND
i was actually confused BECAUSE i saw the ansert story

(01:29:57):
in real time when she posted it on her insert.

Speaker 21 (01:29:59):
Story don't Like why is she posting that she doesn't like?

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
It threw me?

Speaker 22 (01:30:02):
Off but, yeah so she posted the meme Of rihanna
Where rihanna's like swimming and she has the goggles on
and she has a little finger up and the caption
of the memes said me protecting my, peace not pregnant
and having fun all. Summer and then she posted another,
meme Another rihanna meme that Says i'm not, Mean i'm
just not the. One so there was enough going around
online THAT i assumed that she had to tell people

(01:30:24):
that she is not. Pregnant please lead that lady.

Speaker 6 (01:30:26):
Alone But kobe passed away in twenty, twenty, Right, yes
especially if she's dating or she's seeing, somebody that's her,
business that's nobody, business her.

Speaker 22 (01:30:32):
Family please leave her. Alone regardless of what she is.
Doing she should not have to say anything about anything at, all.

Speaker 5 (01:30:38):
Like she, Guessed, well she really didn't have.

Speaker 22 (01:30:41):
To she didn't have, To BUT i think it bothered
her enough that she felt like she, did especially because
she's so protective over Like kobe's legacy and all these.

Speaker 21 (01:30:48):
THINGS i think co, yeah and her. Daughters and it's
just by.

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
The, way your algorithm is not the.

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
World, like just because people are tweeting you something or
sending you, stuff don't mean that everybody saw, it BECAUSE i.

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
DIDN'T i need that's the first Time i'm hearing any of.

Speaker 22 (01:30:59):
IT i figured it bothered her because she does not
normally address things of that. Nature but it bothered me
to see her have to even speak on.

Speaker 4 (01:31:07):
It but, yes she's just getting bigger.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
Something that's. That that's also the most insulting thing. Too
when you say that you're, pregnant you're not, pregnant you
know you might you might be because you're hearing all
you might be a little way like who can you
know just be like you pregnant and.

Speaker 7 (01:31:20):
Then and then The rihanna means Because rihanna is pregnant
currently and that's probably what you.

Speaker 5 (01:31:24):
Know people just live online and just speculate. Speculations, yeah you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Do gotta be careful of that, though because you, know
sometimes even LIKE i hear things up here because tailor,
pregnant she eight.

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
Months people, like, yo you big as a house and
the person.

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
Beautiful.

Speaker 22 (01:32:26):
Okay in other, news, uh the short king reign might be.
Over so uh this this story is a couple of days,
old but people are still arguing about. It SO i
figured let's jump on into the. Argument So, tender the dating,
app now has a. Feature it's a hype feature to
help people date more. Intentionally so it's a spokesperson For

(01:32:46):
tender came out and talked about the fact that they you,
know they want to help their users be more, intentional
especially navigating that our algorithm on these dating, apps because
a lot of, times no matter you know who you're responding,
to what your preferences, are is taking you to people
that you don't want to.

Speaker 1 (01:32:59):
Date you don't know the, hype you don't friggure it.

Speaker 23 (01:33:03):
Out.

Speaker 22 (01:33:03):
Well, yeah so if you have A platinum level Of,
tender which costs thirty nine ninety nine a, month you
will get the option to select different heights that you
want today or not want.

Speaker 6 (01:33:13):
Today it's different levels so you can get a better. Crop,
yes so thirty nine ninety nine you get better access
to better.

Speaker 22 (01:33:19):
People you just get more preferences so you already can
do in your discovery. Area AND i actually made a
tender BECAUSE i was trying to see what this was?
Like DID i just made it five seconds? Ago because
they asked you so many different preferences like they gave
you WHEN i they asked me from a man or a?

Speaker 21 (01:33:35):
WOMAN i select. Women they gave me like ten different
options of.

Speaker 4 (01:33:37):
Women then they gave you that's where you're going.

Speaker 21 (01:33:40):
Now, no they asked me my like and my man
or a.

Speaker 4 (01:33:44):
Woman, OH i thought you said you reference to be.

Speaker 22 (01:33:47):
Quiet, okay, Becau we're gonna get to you and your
height of. People so then they give you the selection
of heights you they can give you like six. Thirty
you could never, yes big, father not a little, Right
so then it goes from height to any, height so
you can have taller. Shorter but you, know people are

(01:34:09):
saying that this whole height thing and putting this preference
in uh is heights and height.

Speaker 21 (01:34:14):
Supremacy AND i looked up. Highism did you know that
is a thing.

Speaker 22 (01:34:21):
Is the prejudice of discrimination against someone on the basis
of their. HEIGHT i did not know that these were real.
Things but the people are upset at tender show.

Speaker 4 (01:34:28):
Dollar short kings out. There here's the thing with my.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
Brothers when you're a short, king just understand you live
longer than taller.

Speaker 4 (01:34:34):
People so all you got to do is wait it
out because the tall people.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
Die shut out showing people lived two to five years.

Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
Longer all you got to do is waited out to
find somebody waited. Out don't let you continue what you. Say,
NO i didn't, That so you.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Can look it up and realize that it's a scientific
fact that show people live longer than taller.

Speaker 4 (01:34:57):
People that's.

Speaker 5 (01:34:58):
Crazy you should get.

Speaker 22 (01:35:00):
Authritis quicker, RIGHT i was looking up the amount of
shirtmann who get denied on dating, apps and according to
a study in twenty, fourteen forty nine percent of women's
dating ads specified that they were looking for men taller than.
Them another study indicated that men between five to and
five four have fewer sexual, partners suggesting a correlation between
height and dating.
