Speaker 3 (03:20):
Michael Jackson would have been sixty seven to a day
by sixty five.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
But either way, you would have been in his sixties.
He would have been in the sixties. Let's get in
some front page news. What does your cowboys do?

Speaker 9 (03:32):
Man?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I don't want to talk about it. What did the
cowboys do? I don't talk about nothing. Michael Parsons he
seems like a very popular player.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Popular, he's the best defensive player in the league. He's
a generational talent.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
And you guys had him. Why did you guys trade him?

Speaker 10 (03:46):
What hap?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
What happened was Jones. Jerry Jones needs to be in
peached and removed from office. Oh my good and peached
and remove from office. He was traded to the Packers
from the Cowboys. What did you guys get for nothing?
Two first round picks and defend the tackle who hasn't
been that good in the last few years.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
And the Green Bay Packers is gonna be good.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
So the first round picks is probably gonna be you know,
late to fund the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Man, the Cowboys, I love take all that.

Speaker 11 (04:12):
Hey me me, hey, good morning, y'all.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I know the Cowboys are are going to be even
more trash than they were last year.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, both of us will be at the bottom of
the NFC East. You like the bottom. What's up the Piladelphia Eagles?
Watch the Redskins going to dominate that that division.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yes, here we go.

Speaker 11 (04:29):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 12 (04:30):
So we're gonna start off with the latest on that
deadly school shooting in Minneapolis. So two children, of course
sadly lost their lives and eighteen others were injured after
gunfire erupted on.

Speaker 11 (04:41):
Wednesday at a Catholic school.

Speaker 12 (04:43):
Now we're learning more about a possible motive, as police
say notoriety may have been what the shooter was seeking,
as they say he was obsessed with other past mass shooters.

Speaker 11 (04:54):
Authority say quote he.

Speaker 12 (04:56):
Had a deranged fascination with other past mass shooters and
behind hundreds of pages of writing expressing hate toward almost
every group imaginable. In a press conference yesterday, police Chief
Ryan O'Hara gave an update on the investigation. Let's listen.

Speaker 10 (05:13):
For those who remained hospitalized need all of our support
as we continued to pray for a speedy recovery for
all of our victims. During the processing of the scene
at Annunciation Church yesterday, three shotgun shows were recovered, along
with approximately one hundred and sixteen rifle rounds. One live

(05:36):
round was recovered from a handgun that appears to have
malfunctioned as the shooter attempted to use it and became
stuck in the chamber.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'll never understand how somebody says they want notoriety but
then kill themselves, Like what notoriety do you see? Like?
Just kill yourself from the start. There are no mass
shooters that are superstars.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Nobody's remembered for the right reasons. When you a mass
he'd be bad we hardly remember your name. It doesn't
lead to any money, doesn't lead to any fames.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
What do you mean, No to riot, straight to hell.

Speaker 12 (06:08):
Yeah, and that's why the police chief also asks that
people don't report his name, just because if that's what
he was seeking. So all the injured victims, they are
expected to survive. But as I mentioned earlier, two children,
ages eight and ten, were killed. Ten year old Harper Moyski,
whose family described her as a bright, joyful, and deeply
loved ten year old whose laughter, kindness, and spirit touched

(06:32):
everyone she knew. And then there was eight year old
Fletcher Merkel, who was one of four children in the
Merkel family. Two of his siblings were also in the
church when he was shot and killed. They were not
hurt or injured in the attack, but his father, Jesse Merkle,
is reminding everyone to hold your loved ones clothes. Let's
listen to what he had to say at the press

(06:53):
conference yesterday.

Speaker 9 (06:54):
As our family and the Annunciation community grieve and try
to make sense of such a senseless act of violence,
please remember Fletcher for the person he was, and not
the act that ended his life. You give your kids
an extra hugging kiss today. We love you, Fletcher, You'll
always be.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
What's so sad about that? You know?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
When the man says, remember Fletcher for who he was.
The young man didn't even get a chance to be somebody,
you know, I mean, he said, I mean and it
his family, that's their child. But we didn't get a
chance to know who this young man was. He didn't
even get a chance at life.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
And you know, the crazy thing is with this shooter, right,
if he had all the stuff that they found so simple,
I wonder why nobody else around him seeing any of this, Right,
if he was so into this so much, why did
nobody around him, love one's family, friends see this and say,
you know what, this is wrong, This ain't right. Something's
gonna happen, you know.

Speaker 11 (07:46):
Yeah, for sure, you know.

Speaker 12 (07:48):
And in the wake of the shooting, the community, of course,
is gathering for multiple vigils. More are planned, and fundraisers
for the victims have been started. And so while families
continue to grieve a minieappos, there's also significant news coming
out of Washington today. President Trump has made a controversial
appointment that could have a major impact on how future

(08:09):
elections are run. The Trump administration has appointed Heather Honey,
a conservative activist who promoted false claims about the twenty
twenty election, to a senior role at the Department of
Homeland Security. Now, Honey will serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Election Integrity in the Office of Strategy, Policy and Plans,
a position that was created under Trump that did not

(08:31):
exist under the Biden administration. So in this role, she'll
help oversee policies tied to voter databases, cybersecurity, and responses
to potential foreign interference in US elections. Honey, who runs
an investigation and consulting firm in Pennsylvania. She became a
central figure in promoting conspiracy theories about voter fraud, including

(08:52):
one that Trump cited before the January sixth capital attack.
She also previously worked on efforts to change Georgia's election
rules in Trump's favor. Now, critics are pointing out that
she has no prior experience running elections or working in
election law, and some state officials say they've spent hundreds
of hours responding to her public records requests and correcting

(09:13):
inaccurate claims she's made about voting systems Trump Trump's allies, however,
they are calling this move wonderful, incredible news, and saying
it's a win for election integrity. However, experts are warning
that putting someone who can spread election misinformation in a
role with access to sensitive voter data could raise serious

(09:34):
security concerns and weakened confidence in the system ahead of
the twenty twenty six mid terms.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
If you think these folks are conceding power in twenty
six and twenty eight, you are bugging. If you think
we are having free and fair elections in twenty six
and twenty eight, you are bugging. They are leaving nothing
to chance between all the redistricting and the appointments like
Heath the honey. They are attempting to fix this right,
and it's really just as simple.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right. Well that is front page news. Now, me
and me, we'll see you next hour.

Speaker 12 (09:58):
All right, coming up, we'll talk about online shopping and
tell you what you need to know before something goes
into effect to affect your wallet.

Because that is kind of true. But it kind of
shows that the devil to hers is kind of trying
to deceive people to you know, coming to God. But
I think the conference is more so good versus evil,
because there's a lot of religions you want to do
good and equals considered what the saying does. But they're

doctors to best explain it. Let's take a listen to
Tamor's doctor, doctor Amir Hi.

Speaker 21 (18:49):
My name is doctor Amira Ogunleya and I am a
cosmetic dentist out of Miami, Florida. I was recently contacted
by Tamar Braxton's team who were coded a very traumatic injury.
She woke up in a pool full of blood, saw
many fractured teeth on her floor. She flew to me immediately.

(19:10):
Within twenty four hours. Upon evaluation, I confirmed that she did,
in fact have several fractured teeth. She even had any
vulsed tooth, which is a tooth that's come completely out
of the socket. She also appeared to have a fractured septum.
We were able to perform immediate oral surgery on her
and we were able to stabilize.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Her for now as she continues to heal.

Speaker 21 (19:31):
As far as the cause, the medical team ruled out seizure,
ruled out stroke, and the only thing left that it
could possibly be is somnambulism, which is sleepwalking.

Speaker 20 (19:44):
Yeah, so I mean, now we know that.

Speaker 19 (19:47):
But here's the thing with this, A lot of people,
even with this video, still don't believe that this is real.
They still don't believe that this is the thing that
actually happened to Tamar. They believe that it is a
publicity stunt.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Why wish she care? Yeah, I wish you care? Would
be thing if they're saying it was sleepwalking, sleepwalking, she
got to.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Argue with But the thing is the night before it
happened and she woke up and she posted it on
her story, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Like, wait, what you mean the night after it happened.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
The night after, Yeah, after she woke up and took
to the story just to give us a little bits
and pieces.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
She know what the internet does, Like she knows that.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
I mean, I know she to envy point, she don't
got her care or or yeah, you know, care about
what people think. But if you're gonna do that and
give us bits and pieces of something that serious, if you.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Give people a room to speculate, they gonna speculate. Yeah,
she didn't know at first, right, because she just said
it happened and she didn't know. She went to the doctor.
They ruled out stroke, They ruled out.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
Why is this your first thing to do? Then, if
you don't know what happened to you, why is it
not finding out what happened to you? Why is it
alerted us?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Twenty twenty five? That's what people.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
If you tell everybody the story, but then tell everybody
you know, please respect my privacy. At this time, it's like, no,
the internet gonna run and create every room where they can't.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Because it's it's not just your business, no more let us.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I would say, I have no reason, not the believable.
But one thing we have to start telling our doctors
about is those edibles were taking. Now, I'm not saying
Tamars will take it out of I'm not saying it.
I'm just telling us, folks born in the nineteen hundreds,
you're doing anything more than ten milligrams, you're gonna wake up,
oout the bed, sleep, moonwalking you're talking about here?

Speaker 22 (21:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, Well.

Speaker 19 (21:24):
Tamar also posted to her story. She posted a photo
and she said I can't run or chew, but I
look like I can.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
So she is in they can't run or to but
she running why running And I'm.

Speaker 19 (21:36):
Assuming though because of her injuries becoming her teeth first,
get her teeth together, and maybe she's not as we
was messed up. She just letting people know she can't
run on che but she looked like she can't, Like basically,
I ain't the best right now, but I'm holding it
together like I am.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
By the way, even this this is you're giving us
all this information for people to talk about. Yeah, you're
throwing mad log on this fire.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, and then that.

Speaker 20 (21:57):
Ain't the only fire because what's going over her in DC?

Speaker 6 (22:00):
I've seen something, yes, and that's why I was so
mad when I even seen it looks like it looked
like a trailer to a reality show or a music video.
But it's like you never know what's real. It was fake,
Like why are we what's happening? Because if you know
what she's going on love and hip hop?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Right?

Speaker 20 (22:18):
And then this comes out? Yes, now what?

Speaker 19 (22:22):
So basically she says that in DC's is her friend
and when she posted that she capitalized friend. It was
a visual that she dropped, and she says in the comment,
I mean in the caption, this is the moment y'all
have been waiting for my real life Heartbreak album story
and movie starring my friend in all capsm in DC's
her new EP, Heartbreak Retrograde, will be available nin nineteen,
and she posted this in the midst of people trying

(22:43):
to figure out what was happening to her as well.

Speaker 20 (22:46):
Yeah, so people, I think that what Charlie makes she
did almost dish.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
That's just said. It's just how she said it.

Speaker 19 (22:54):
She says in DC is her friend and this is
just all, you know, a visual movie that goes with
a project that she dropping. But to your point, just
there were people that felt like the timing of the
promotion of that was just off because the last thing
we had heard from her prior to that was almost
die I woke up in a pool of blood.

Speaker 20 (23:10):
So people are like, wait, what hold on, Yeah, yes,
they're walking in walking and marketing. So you don't believe her.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'm not saying I don't believe that she woke up
in the pool of blood.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
We obviously just heard a doctor say, you know, you know,
coroperate that story or whatever.

Speaker 20 (23:26):
But the thing is.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
The whole messiness with the marriage that's happening in the
Love and Hip Hop, Yeah, you should explain that a
bit for people who don't know. So if you don't know,
you're not watching Love and Hip Hop, you should Love
and Hip Hop and Landing. I've been watching that for
years since the beginning. And Yandy and men DC. I
guess it's you know, it's troubling in Paradise or whatever,
and they they're beefing with Kirk and Rashida and and

(23:51):
Yandy's thing is she never confirmed that in.

Speaker 20 (23:56):
D C was ing oh girl from the Instagram Dean Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
In fact, Yandy said that she was in the d M,
and then you know the step son was in the
d M, and then you know the elected trip to
London that they said. So there's a lot of has
a rumor that Yandy was cheating in London because her
friend leaked that, but we never she never confirmed whether
in DC was cheating or not.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
He don't care to clear it up.

Speaker 20 (24:21):
And then the video drives.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
He would not clear it.

Speaker 19 (24:23):
Up, and that that video drop in the midst of
us trying to figure out if Tamar is okay or now.
So y'all see how like the storm created and people
are like, wait, what is.

Speaker 20 (24:31):
Happening right now?

Speaker 6 (24:32):
So that's where that's where a lot of it is
coming from a bunch of clown ish like it's like,
come on, you never know what's real, you never know
what's fake.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Like I don't know, I don't, I don't like none
of all right, I understand, all right, you got it,
charlm no I started business bete and a half or
at least two minutes.

Speaker 19 (24:51):
Well, glad that Tamar is doing okay. We just all
were just a bit confused for a bit. But glad
she's doing okay.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
All right, Well that is the latest with Laura. Now
when we come back, we got front page news. So
don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast Club. Come morning. You're
like into the breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ
Envy just hilarious, Charlamage the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
Some quick sports. We talked about it earlier, but it's
only right to talk about it again. Mika Parsons, his

(25:20):
name is not Meacah. Michael Parsons used to be on
the Cowboys. What happened? I don't want to talk about.
He was traded to the Package. What y'all get out
of it? I don't want to talk about. He got
two first draft picks, but the packers are gonna be
pretty good. So I don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I don't talk cowboy business with people who don't love it,
appreciate the Cowboys. But I will say that when we
have these tough conversations, they're not tough. The's a tough
conversation conversation. Jarry Jones needs to be in peace to
remove from office. We need to defund the Cowboy. It's
damn shame that they got this amazing documentary on Netflix,
one of the best sports documentaries I've ever seen. You know,
I'm watching it and I'm like, damn, I gotta let
my daughter watch this so she understands why her father

(25:58):
loves the Cowboys so much, because I really have no
reason to over the last thirty years. We got this
amazing documentary out and he goes and does something stupid
like this.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
I think it's great. And I seen you huggle. You
don't want to say bart get each other nice hug.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, And I was telling him, you need to get
this it right, and you know what he said to me, goes,
look here, man, you know we zigg sometimes we zig
when we're supposed to zag.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
And I'm like, look at yesterday again. I don't know,
I don't know. I just know yesterday we was zigging.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
We did a whole bunch of zigging, getting rid of
Michael Posner's and zigging Jerry.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
When you were pelvis, the pelvis with that white man.
That's We'll let you know. I wasn't peg What's that mean?
What's up?

Speaker 23 (26:36):
Y'all?

Speaker 20 (26:36):
All right?

Speaker 12 (26:36):
So, Governor Gavin Newsom California is continuing to turn up
the heat on President Trump. This time, he's pushing back
on Trump's decision to send National Guard troops and federal
agents to Democratic led cities, accusing the President.

Speaker 11 (26:50):
Of hypocrisy and overage.

Speaker 12 (26:52):
So at a press conference on Thursday and needs to
announce the expansion of California's crime suppression program. But he
also used the moment to criticized Trump's approach, arguing that
the president is targeting blue cities while overlooking higher murder
rates in Republican controlled states.

Speaker 11 (27:09):
Let's listen to what he said.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
Just consider Speaker Johnson's state and district. Just look at
the murder rate that's nearly four times higher than California.
In Louisiana, the Speaker Johnson four x higher. I'm just
offering this again. You've not seen this on Fox News,
so president may not be familiar with these facts. Of course,

(27:33):
Mississippi leads the nation as the number one murder state
in America. Imagine this in particular may resonate with the
President United States. Perhaps the President could deploy the National
Guard in every corner of Mississippi. The murder rates out
of control there, carnage would notes Saint Louis murder rate

(27:54):
is one hundred and ninety percent larger than Oakland. I
can go on with could talk about the card engine.
Arkansas in one of the top ten murder states in America.

Speaker 12 (28:05):
Yeah, so he recently just went on and explained that
their red states are their murder rates per capita is
larger than a lot of the Blue states. And so
as we know, Trump's and federal agents in the National
Guard to Washington, d c.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
LA.

Speaker 12 (28:18):
And it seems like Chicago maybe next, citing violent crime
as a justification, but data shows that crime in those
cities has declined in recent years. However, the White House
is defending Trump's deployment, saying the President is focusing on
upholding law and order and claimed his strategy is already
working in Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
I like everything that Gavin Newsom is doing in regard
to how he's combating Trump, how he's choosing to push
back on Trump. But when I hear him report things
like that, all I think to myself is, none of
y'all have truly made any real investments into any of
these towns, in these cities to.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Truly reduce crime.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Crime would be going down everywhere if people actually made
the proper investments in these poor and disenfranchised communities, if
they gave people job training programs, proper mental health services,
you know, trade schools. You just get people opportunity and
something to do, crime will go down everywhere. And that's
not a party thing. That's just a common sense, you know,
knowing what people need.

Speaker 12 (29:11):
Think absolutely absolutely so shifting gears just a little bit.
So if you shop online for clothes, gadgets and other
small items from overseas, get ready for shipping delays, canceled orders,
and higher prices. So starting today, the US will end
the nearly one hundred year demnimous rule that allowed items
under eight hundred dollars to entry enter the country enter

(29:34):
the country tax free.

Speaker 11 (29:35):
So under the Trump administration's.

Speaker 12 (29:37):
New policy, foreign sellers and postal services will now have
to collect and pay teriffs before shipping goods to the US,
and many of them say they can't or won't comply.
So as a result, several countries, including Germany, France, Australia, India, Japan, Mexico,
and the UK I believe they're about twenty nine altogether,
are pausing and stopping US bound shipments. Yeah, this is

(30:01):
gonna affect you if you order from platforms like exy, eBay,
she and Timu. Those platforms are now warning shoppers to
expect disruptions, and some have already stopped taking US orders.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Sell me just ain't all the mephaw visions just selling
the people ain't gonna get them.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
Tell Christmas please, because they're not coming from neither one
of them countries.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
So shut up you should. Did you get her wigs
from over over, out of.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
The country, Bush, you got her a nice supply of
go naked head? But anyway, No, it's China on that list.

Speaker 11 (30:30):
China's on the list.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Now now what now?

Speaker 14 (30:33):
Now?

Speaker 4 (30:33):
What now?

Speaker 10 (30:33):
No?

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Because I got I gotta re up, I gotta red
damn Okay, A.

Speaker 12 (30:40):
Lot of the stuff that it's gonna hit hard because
they said that ninety two percent of all US cargo
last year came from those countries, and that totaled like
one point three billion packages. But we do know that
shipping costs may be going up, but there's still a
chance to bring in some extra cash, a lot of it.

Speaker 11 (30:58):
That's because the power Balls pod cimb to nearly one billion.

Speaker 12 (31:03):
Dollars, That's what I'm talking about, are already surging. So
the Powerball is served to nine hundred and fifty million
dollars after no one matched all six numbers on Wednesday night.
So this is the sixth largest jackpot ever, the biggest
prize in more than the year. So if you haven't
got your ticket yet, the next drawing is tomorrow Saturday.

(31:23):
If you choose a lump some you're gonna get about
four hundred and twenty nine million dollars YEP. Powerball tickets
are sold in forty five states, plus Washington, d C,
Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. So with nearly
a billion dollars on the line, are y'all getting your tickets?

Speaker 20 (31:39):
You get your ticket.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
One thing about play every I play every Monday, Wednesday
and on Saturday. So, and Powerball is still affordable. Powerball
did not go up in price like the Mega Millions.
The Mega Millions went up to five dollars. That's this ridiculous.
Powerball is still two dollars.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Okay, you see this right here? This is a week now,
got your ticket? Come on, this is the no no,
this I want actually fort dollars. I wanted like this.

Speaker 23 (33:25):
You know, I'm not traveling as much like shuddling the
kids back and forth from uh soccer practice and swimming
lessons and violin lessons and all that other stuff. Now
I can just be a dad. And then I got
my podcast stuff, so you know, it's it's it's different,
but it's good to be able to be at home

(33:46):
with my kids and my wife and and you know,
of course, my blood pressure still goes up when all
those I see all this crazy happen.

Speaker 20 (33:53):
Say, how do politicians adjust me that transition?

Speaker 10 (33:56):
Like?

Speaker 20 (33:57):
Do you ever fully just relax?

Speaker 23 (33:59):
It's it's a harder job, it really is, because you
when you are in the mix all the time and
in the storm, like, all you know is how to
deal with like buckling down for that.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
And so when you get a time where it's sort of.

Speaker 23 (34:12):
Peaceful, you don't know what to do with yourself, right,
And so you get online and you start seeing things
and it starts stirring you up, and you just get
a little unhinged. And so I'm just happy that I
got this, you know, podcast and all this other stuff
that I'm doing. Uh is it gives me an outlet
to get some of that out because otherwise, I mean

(34:33):
I just I be bouncing off the walls.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
And what you saw yourself doing after being form a
dance chair.

Speaker 23 (34:38):
You know what, Charlie, I didn't know what the hell
I wanted to do. I mean, I had hoped that
Kamala Harris would have won. And she say, Jamie, why
did you go be ambassador over there?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I don't know. There's some you know, Island.

Speaker 23 (34:49):
Yeah, somewhere, you know, my wife and I can relax
and invite y'all over, you know, come down to the
Ambassador's residence in the Bahamas and we But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
I didn't know what I want to do.

Speaker 23 (35:00):
And I think I'm at one of is I'll be
fifty next year. I'm at one of those midlife not
a crisis, but a crossroads, and you know, you're just
trying to figure out what I'm going to do with
the next phase of my life.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
And the one thing I like a Democrat, Oh, the
whole party.

Speaker 23 (35:17):
Yeah, you're You're right, it is a whole party. But
you know, the one thing I do know is and
and this is the you know, it's like ten toes
down on it. I see where the country is going,
and I see so many reflections of what we grew
up in in South Carolina, and I just know that
I'm not going to allow my sons to grow up

(35:39):
in a world like my grandparents grew up in. So
I got to figure out what it is that I
have to do in order to prevent that from happening.
Because more, a little by little, every day we see
something new. But that's that's my one commitment that I
know that I am definitely set on. Like, you know,
we got to figure out ways for this to be better,

(35:59):
because it right now is scary to the.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Chair of the DNC. What was your position? What was
your job?

Speaker 23 (36:04):
Well, you know, the chair of the DNC is very
different when you have the White House and when you
don't have the White House break it down. So the
Democratic National Committee is, in essence, it's the organization, a
national organization for the Democratic Party. We got fifty seven
states and territories that all have state Democratic parties and
they all work with me. Now I'm not their boss.

(36:24):
It's sort of a partnership but collaboration. And what we
really do is we're the infrastructure for the party. So
the people who knock on doors, the people who make
phone calls, the volunteers making sure that resources are on
the ground to do those type of things. And when
you have the White House, what you become is in
essence an extension of the White House political team. I

(36:45):
get my instructions from the White House on what to do. Now,
Kim Martin, who's a new DNC chair, he doesn't have
a boss, right because there's nobody in the white House.
When you have the White House, the president is the head.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Of the party.

Speaker 23 (36:57):
When you don't have the White House, it is very
fuse is broken down. And so what you do at
the d n C is you build the infrastructure for
the next campaigns, the next elections that take place, like
the door knockers, whether they're gonna do uh, the party
hasn't done registration, uh really the way that needs to.
But all of those things that that you see on campaigns,

(37:19):
that's what the d n C does. And it works
with his other sister committees, the d Triple C, which
is the Congressional Campaign Committee, the d SEC, which is
a Senate campaign committee.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
So you don't control the whole thing.

Speaker 23 (37:31):
You just get a slice of the ply uh, and
you just try to focus your energy on building up
that infrastructure.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
So there was always rumored that the d n C
were the ones that you know, quote unquote picked who
they wanted to be. And that's that's a bunch of beloaning.
You got to stop it, man, But that's what they say,
that they picked somebody who come off the president.

Speaker 23 (37:53):
I'm telling you the truth. Tell me the power I
have the pick if I'm the DNC chair. What what
power do I have the pick? People said, well, you
could have told Joe Biden to not run, Like seriously, yeah, yeah,
you could.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Have said, I couldn't. I could have.

Speaker 23 (38:11):
And do you think he would have listened? This is
the most powerful No. No, to your point, he didn't listen.
Somebody did listen to him. He did listen to somebody. Finally, No,
I think everybody should have told him earlier. I think
ultimately what the president saw was that this fight is
actually tearing the party apart.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
And I don't want that to be on me. No,
I'm not, you're not. It's not about being beholden to.
It was too old.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Everybody knew he was too old, but he should have
been a transitional president from the beginning.

Speaker 23 (38:45):
Charlotte Man, I get all of that, but you know what,
somebody should have stepped up. If people thought that Joe
Biden was too old, then some real people should have
stepped up and said, you know what, I'm going to run.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Kick him out. Didn't feel of serious, It don't matter. No, No,
you're honest, Jamie.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
You're acting like that is You're acting like that is
the normal process of things. Yes, just challenge the sitting president.
You know, y'all, you know y'all crucified people for that.

Speaker 23 (39:11):
But just what you're telling me, you're saying, well, that's
not the normal. And you're saying, is it normal for
the DNC chair to say, mister President, you need to
sit down?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yes? That normal?

Speaker 3 (39:20):
No, No, if George Clooney can say it, if Charlamagne
can say it, if all these people who are not
in politics can say it. But y'all, Jake Tapple book,
I read the book said everybody walked up to you
shook your hand.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's a bunch of people you were. That's a bunch
of bulls. I don't believe that, James, But why don't
you believe me?

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Because tell people that don't know what happened. He said
that Jake tapping. Alex Thompson wrote in that book, Original
Sitting that Biden shook d n C chair at the time,
Jamie Harrison's and and didn't recognize who he was.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Jamis said.

Speaker 23 (39:51):
Jamie said, I said that it's bulls because it was
every time that Joe Biden, see Joe Biden always related
me to Jim.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Clappern, right, So every time he thought you was Jim
cly No. No, but every time, because you know, Joe.

Speaker 23 (40:13):
And Jim have really close relationship now, they trust each
other in all, and so every time he's gonna be like,
how's Jim doing? And you know every single time that's
the that's his lead off question, how how's Jim doing?

Speaker 1 (40:25):
And you tell Jim you need to give me a.

Speaker 23 (40:26):
Call every single time, and so it's what's president by no, Yes,
I mean he was damn old.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
But when you take a look at it.

Speaker 23 (40:34):
Charle Mane, when you look at what this man was
trying to do, I'd rather take an old Joe Biden
on a respirator right now than a goddamn Donald Trump
right now, who's destroying this country.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
That type of rhetoric is exactly why y'all lost.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
What I mean by that is America shouldn't have to
choose between Donald Trump. I should have to choose between
authoritarian regime, authoritarian strategy, and an old man.

Speaker 23 (40:59):
On a respiration Charlotte man You can't you can't win
something if you don't have somebody to get into contest
to run against.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
And if Joe Biden would have said, hey, I'm gonna
be a transitional president, I'm only gonna be here for
four years.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
That would have gave you as the party a whole
lot of time.

Speaker 23 (41:14):
But he didn't, right, and so in the end of
the day, Joe Biden decided to run. Nobody decided of
significance decided to challenge him.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
So therefore that is the horse that you have to ride.
Was still kicking with Jamie Harrison, former chair of the
d n C.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Charlamagne, do you put any blame on the Democratic Party
because there clearly was a lot of people who saw
decline and decided not to say anything. But if they
would have maybe ringing the alarm, then maybe other people
would have been like, you know what, I am gonna run.

Speaker 23 (41:42):
I don't know about that, to be quite honest, Charlott Mane,
I mean, the reason why you elect the president is
to get done right. And if you take a look
objectively speaking, you take a look at all that Joe
Biden got done legislative and you compare it, compare it
to Ronald Reagan, you can compare to George vy Bush,
Barack Obama, Bill Clinton. There has not been a president

(42:04):
that got more done legislative than any president since Lyndon
beIN Shahts.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
I agree, right, but getning thing's done don't win campaign sadly,
But that's why you send somebody to Washington, d C.

Speaker 23 (42:15):
To get stuff done for you, to do stuff for
your community, to move things forward. And we see the
contrast now of somebody who doesn't get things done or
gets things done that actually hurts people, like like, why
send a young person?

Speaker 1 (42:29):
You know, Jim Carbery.

Speaker 23 (42:31):
I remember once when I was a young stabber staffer
in his office and he said, I was, I was
bitching about you know, some of these older people just
need to sit down and let some of these young
folks stand up. And he said to me, he was
very quiet, he listened to me, just rant and read,
and he pushed back in the chair and he said, Jim,
let me ask you a question, which would you prefer

(42:52):
an old third good marshal or a young Clarence Thomas.
And I sat there and I thought about it, and
I said, Okay, I see what he said. You know, yes,
age is important, but it's also about your values. It's
about who you are, what you will fight for, who
you will fight for, and so that's a part of
the package. Yes, Joe Biden was old. I get that

(43:13):
but we also know that this man was committed to
certain things to make things better for folks.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Did he do it perfectly? No, we don't.

Speaker 23 (43:20):
None of us do anything perfectly right. There's nobody that
has walked deserve that is perfect but the Son of God.
And hopefully he'll come back again sometime soon.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
I wouldn't waste my time. Well it was him. I
hate I hate the old conversation because it just wasn't
He just wasn't. Just the fact that age, it just
wasn't the factor. Because we know a lot of people
at an eighty year old and on point. He just
felt like he wasn't on point. It felt like my
recipes of my mother in law feel like he had
early signs of dementia. She had, so the signs that

(43:50):
I seen with her were the signs that I was
seeing with him. Forgetting names, shaking people's hands that weren't there.
It just seemed a little bit and it had nothing
to do with old. Had had to do with the
fact that I just didn't think he was one hundred percent.

Speaker 23 (44:01):
I mean, listen, if somebody I agree, but you took no, no, no,
it's somebody who interacted with the president a lot in
twenty twenty four, and he did some of the mannerisms
that old people do, but in terms of like his
mental acuity and his sharpness, he knew it all and
you better like if you ask you a question, you
better know the answer to it, right, And so like

(44:21):
seeing the frame that was built around and then seeing
the reality of my interactions, my personal interactions with.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Him that it was not always the same, right, it's
it's it wasn't.

Speaker 23 (44:33):
And so that's part of my frustration is like, guys,
I understand that this guy in perfect, but you know what,
we also have a vice president. So in the end
of the day, if he can't, if he can't perform,
you got a vice president that is there who can't.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
I don't know. To me, it wasn't anything.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
His age has definitely played a part in it, But
it's the fact that Democrats suck at messages. Did all
the good things that somebody like the Biden administration did,
y'all didn't know how to message. And y'all just suck
at campaigning. And I think y'all about to make the
same as thing because you're still on some we good
they bad stuff.

Speaker 23 (45:03):
Clearly America don't care about that, Well, listen what I
think we have to do on the messaging side. One
of the things the problem that Democrats have and I
say this as a party and I said this as
a party chair, is that we send people to Washington,
DC who want to get stuff done, who are policy wonks.
Many of them are really policy nerves.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Right.

Speaker 23 (45:22):
All they want to do is they want to go
to DC. They want to write their bills, They want
to get something passed and solve an issue that people
in their communities are dealing with. The Republicans are reversed.
They want to go to Washington, DC to have power,
either power to block something or power or power to
move things forward. And they know that, you know, they
don't need to be versed in all of these policies

(45:44):
and all that, and so they just focus on the
politics of it, whereas Democrats don't like to focus on
the politics.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
They just like to focus on the policy.

Speaker 23 (45:53):
But that's not always good because you also need the
politics part. Like you got to be able to sell
what you've been able to do. One of the things
I tried to get the president, well people in the
administration do is yeah, I said, miss President, and I
said this on this flight that we took. We were
down in Charleston and visited mother, Manual and then flew
to Dallas.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Is that when he pooped his pants allegedly? Man, no,
I under what the hell you talking about? I'm I'm serious.
They said that last time he visited mother and man,
you ain't me, he pooped his fans.

Speaker 23 (46:21):
Charles Mayne, you you saying something that. Literally, that's that's crazy.
That's some crazy. That's some crazy talk. Because I was
again with the president all day. We even went to
what's the soul food restaurant that we went to?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Yeah, yeah, sometimes I'm not even joke.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
I heard that.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
They said he said he pooped his pants. Man, he
said he was taking so long to come out. So
local law enforcement was asking to seek the service, what's
going on? And somebody Secret Service said, look, President just.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
He shot it.

Speaker 20 (46:52):
Headlines asking they're trying to figure out did he poop
his pants?

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Man, that's crazy. I'm just I'm not I'm not writing. No, guys,
it's not a secret. I never heard exactly crazy absolutely
crazy as hell. It's just crazy. Let me get to
my story.

Speaker 23 (47:14):
Hell, what was I trying to say anyway before charlow
Man and the pooping, the paint something man.

Speaker 19 (47:22):
So the administration to do something so so, because part
of it is about selling what you do.

Speaker 23 (47:29):
And I told the President because as I went across
the country, people weren't connected. We passed all the stuff,
but people weren't connected to the stuff that we actually passed.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Like the student loan stuff.

Speaker 23 (47:40):
There are a lot of people who qualify for the
all of the student loan relief, but they didn't know
how to get it right. And so I said, well,
miss President, why don't And I said, the DNC can
actually do this. We can open up we can call
them Biden Empowerment Centers all across the country where people
could come in and say, I'm trying to get some

(48:00):
of that Biden student loan money. I'm trying to figure
out how to do a small business twenty thousand dollars
at small business grants, but I don't know how to
get that money. I'm trying to do something on in
terms of the broadband and all of the other stuff.
And I said, you can have these all across the
country so that people are now then connected to the
resources that you are actually bringing bringing into the community.

(48:22):
Because part of the problem is that people didn't know
how to get it right. You had the money there,
but can't people can't access it. And he was like, Oh,
that's a great idea. That's a great idea. I thought
it was going to move forward. I thought that we
would do something about it. But the one thing that
I'm writing about this now in my book, the one
problem that you have is like, if these ideas don't
come from certain people that are in the sort of

(48:45):
universes around the president or the vice president, then they
never see the light of day.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
They never they never crystallize.

Speaker 23 (48:52):
And that is part of the fundamental problems that we
have right now within our party is that we got
to break through some of these things. You've got these
gate keepers who want all of the power, all of
the control, all of the influence, and don't want other
voices to come break in to say, you know, we're
not doing this right. We need to talk to these people,
we need to bring these people into the room. And

(49:13):
so that's part of my big frustration as d n
C chair. It was that, you know, there are a
lot of things that we want to do, a lot
of bells that we were ringing very early on about
this group, this group, that group, but the president or
the vice president never actually really heard them because the
gatekeepers kept that information from them.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
But still kicking it with Jamie Harrison, former chair of
the d n C, what do you feel he's not
being truthful about? When he said you feel like he's
being truthful.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
What do you think he's not being truthful about the
condition that they know President Biden was in.

Speaker 10 (49:42):
No.

Speaker 23 (49:43):
I just I just fund you can ask anybody asked
my wife, I just fundamentally disagree with that.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
It wasn't just about that. It's not just about that.
But there's a lot of things right Like there's the
perception that the DNC is too tied the corporate donors
and especially I mean that's bullsh too. Okay, tell me
pull the records, pull the receipts. See a Democrat. No,
you said the DNC. What you said is democrats. You
said the d n C. No I did it. I
think democrat d roll the take. I don't know what
he said. You said democrats. Okay, because you're saying that

(50:14):
the so let me answer ask the question.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
There's a perception, uh that Democrat politicians are too tied
to corporate donors and special interests. So how can the
party claim to fight for working people while taking so
much money?

Speaker 23 (50:26):
Well, they're there are some Democrats in Congress who do
take corporate pack dollars like they do and in part
of their fundraising that happens. But but when it like,
I can't control what individual members do, right, But in
the end of the day, you know, if these people
are still passing health care and passing that they're not

(50:49):
fighting for tax cuts for these wealthy corporations and all
that they're actually trying to increase the taxes on some
of these folks, it's kind of hard to say that
these people aren't fighting for their constituents.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Man.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Right.

Speaker 23 (51:01):
So again, like I can only control what I can
control within my sphere, right. I know what the DNC
did and what I tried to push the DNC to
do in my time, which is focus on working people,
focusing on people like my grandparents, focusing on people like
my aunts and my uncles and my cousins and nieces

(51:21):
and nephews in South Carolina, trying to make life better
for them. That's that's the party that I was happy
and proud to be the chair of okay to ask
you this question.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Yeah, was there a private deal between the DNC and
the Harris campaign that you would cover twenty million dollars
in her buildings?

Speaker 12 (51:38):
No?

Speaker 23 (51:38):
So basically, and I saw Shane's the newspaper article. So
looking at the finances for there's some joint finances between
the DNC and a presidential campaign.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
When they come.

Speaker 23 (51:51):
Together, they create whatether let's call a joint fundraising committee.
So there's things bills that they share, right, So some polling,
some advertising, some some things so that they can jointly
fundraise money. And that's I know that your folks are
going to get a little eyes gleazed. That is because
they form a joint fundraising committee because that allows them

(52:13):
to raise more money collectively than they could as individuals.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Right.

Speaker 23 (52:17):
It allows them the DNC to go to some of
its the donors who can write a million dollar chat, right,
and then they send that money to the DNC.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
It's discovered they're individuals, folks, that the individual can write
million dollars.

Speaker 23 (52:32):
Yes, individuals can write million dollar checks. Because the way
that the finance laws, and that's something that we really
need to take a look at. But the way that
finance laws work is there's a certain amount that they
can give to the DNC, there's a certain amount they
can give to every state party, and all of that
money is collective and then we can use that money
on behalf of the presidential candidate. So it's a joint

(52:53):
fundraising committee. So that means that sometimes they're joint fundraising
expenses that come out of it, so expenses that we share.
So coming off of Kammalos Race, there were some things,
some outstanding bills that we still had that were joint
bills together between the DNC and the Kammalos Race, and
our agreement was to pay the.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Remaining of some of those bills. Was it twenty million?

Speaker 23 (53:17):
No, When I left, it was about five So now
I can't speak to about any other other whatever. But
when I left, it was about five million dollars, which
in the grand scheme of things, five million dollars is
a lot for us as individuals.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
But in this campaign universe, do you think we need
to drop dollars? Yes, okay, I do believe.

Speaker 23 (53:38):
I do believe that we need massive and we would
have done that had we passed the John Lewis and
all of other bills that Democrats voted unanimously for in
the House, but we couldn't get it past the Senate
because of filibuster, because of mansion in cinema. So I
do believe that, Listen, I raised one hundred and thirty
two million dollars when I ran for usent. I mean,

(53:58):
when I think about how much money that is and
what that could have done in South Carolina, that's sinful.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
That amount of.

Speaker 23 (54:04):
Money, one hundred and thirty two million dollars. I think
we need to cap them out that we use in
our election. No other country on the face of this
planet spends as much money in campaigns as we do.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
The DNC beholding too billionaires too much? Are just wealthy
people in general? No, I mean, because there's no there's
no working class person writing a million dollars.

Speaker 23 (54:20):
No, No, But the bulk of the money that the
DNC raises is from folks who given five to ten dollars,
like the sheer volume about probably about thirty percent of
the DNC's money that it gets. It comes from major
dollar donors, right, people who can write twenty five thousand
above the number of people who can write a million
dollar check. Maybe it's one hundred to two hundred people like,

(54:44):
it's not.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
It's not a lot.

Speaker 23 (54:46):
And those people, basically I've met with many of our
large donors, they're not asking for anything policy wise because
the DNC is not a policy arm Like we don't
write policy in the DNC. The money that we use
goes into the infrastry of the party. And so many
of those folks don't have any type of ask other
than when and we don't want to see Republicans take over.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
If Democrats lose again in twenty twenty six or twenty
twenty eight, Shold the party completely rethink is the leadership structure,
even the role of the DNC itself.

Speaker 23 (55:18):
I mean, I Charlamagne, I mean in the history's country
you went on the DNCS. I think it's one hundred
and seventy years old. Like you're gonna win elections, you're
gonna lose elections. I mean, winning elections and losing an
election didn't something new that happened.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Right, different though, So you got some you gotta admit
this is different. I mean Donald Trump is different. Right.

Speaker 23 (55:40):
The question is, once Trump's gone, does it go back
to the way that it has gone to pass?

Speaker 4 (55:46):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
I mean that's a big question. I don't know that.

Speaker 23 (55:49):
But one of the things I tell folks is, yes,
there's an urgency of the moment, but like you can't
freak out about like all you know, all hell's gone
loose in terms of like the parties and how they operate, right.
I do think there's some fundamental changes that need to happen.
I think, you know, when I go back to the DNC,

(56:10):
part of what I want to do is put some
reforms in to separate out, to give the DNC a
wall between a presidential campaign and the DNC, or a
president and the DNC, because I think the DNC has
to focus more, not just on the White House, but
on the entirety of the party. And I don't think
we do that when we have the White House.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
And I just want to ask you to be clear.
So you said the DNC has never taken corporate dollars
in the past.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
No, the DNC.

Speaker 23 (56:35):
I mean, I don't know if there is some no
corporate Pac money. There may be some corporate pac money.
Said no, no, no, you said that the DNC was
controlled by corporate pac money. If there is corporate Pac money,
it's probably less than five percent of the money Uh,
that the duen.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
But what what do you mean? Like throwing out buzzwords?
But I don't know what you how you mean they
haven't taken any corporate money.

Speaker 23 (57:04):
DNC has taken corporate pac money in the past. I mean,
all of the parties have taken money. But when you
look at me that they're not controlled. They're not They're
not controlled by that, right because if it's a small percentage,
I mean, and like I can give you a dollar,
that doesn't mean you're gonna do what I told you
for if for that dollar, because I know you're getting
paid a whole lot more.

Speaker 24 (57:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Yeah, Well, if you want more of this, you.

Speaker 22 (57:25):
Can check out this new podcast at our Table at
our Table, and also check out Jamie Harrison's documentary In

Hunter Budy. No, it was good.

Speaker 23 (57:55):
It was really good. And it was good to get

have family members who had drug addiction issues.

Speaker 1 (58:16):

She sent one for long and it come with hand

Speaker 19 (59:32):
Comes so you can try and reach our rooms. Let's
get into the latest. We got a lot of sport
team to come on the street.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Yes, she gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.

Speaker 20 (59:45):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
She'd be having the latest on you, the latest with
Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit of everything. It's the
latest on the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 19 (01:00:00):
Well, speaking of sports and women in sports, you guys
know that Taylor Townsend tennis player and Yelena Ostin Picco
I definitely said her last name wrong, got into it
on the court at the US Open the other day
and Taylor Townsend was called an educated and class list
by Yealina. So I have confirmed that currently the US

(01:00:24):
Open is trying to figure out whether or not fines
will be given here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Could you do a fine for trash talk? I mean
it was foul, totally foul and totally wrong. I'm just curious.

Speaker 19 (01:00:33):
I don't know all the like the definite what can
I happen? What I was told exactly is that no
fine has been assessed at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Surety was talking crazy, she was, and then she lost.

Speaker 19 (01:00:44):
Yeah, but she's been fine before. Back in twenty twenty two,
she was fine after a lass. She threw a racket
at a chair, and you know she had to pay
some money for that. So you know that. But let
me tell y'all something because also yesterday Cocoa Golf won
in her her second match, and it was a tough
match for her because Coco Goff has had a lot
of eyes on her. She recently switched coaches. There's just

(01:01:07):
been a lot of pressure on her. So she broke
down during the match and then after she got emotional
to talking about just getting through it. There has been
a lot of and you know, maybe because I went
this year, I feel I'm seeing it up close and personal.
There's been a lot of black girl magic, brown girl
grinding energy at the US Open this year. The old
girl chose the wrong year to get on the field

(01:01:27):
and call black women uneducated, not classy.

Speaker 20 (01:01:30):
All the things been like that for the last couple
of years. I mean, I know that there's been what
you mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Girl magic, and the HBCU has been like that for
the last time. I did not know that.

Speaker 19 (01:01:45):
I didn't know that, and I talked about that on
the podcast The Latest with Lona Rosa too, like I
want more people to get there because it felt so good.

Speaker 20 (01:01:50):
But she chose the wrong she told the wrong girl.

Speaker 19 (01:01:52):
So yesterday Coco Golf talked a bit about you know
what her experience was on the court. I told y'all
she got a bit emotional, but she also showed love
to Taylor Towns on Let's take a Listen.

Speaker 24 (01:02:02):
Yeah, no, I saw what happened at the end of
the match, and obviously I'm close with Taylor, and I
can tell you well the first two things that happened.
Taylor always is warmed up at the net since juniors.
I've played her in a challenger like when I was fourteen,
and that's what she did and it's not against the rules.
And then same thing with the let Corps, even though

(01:02:22):
it's something that some people do, but she had a
winner afterwards, and you know it's not you know, it's
not against the rules either.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
I mean, I know what was said after the MAC.

Speaker 24 (01:02:31):
I think it was the heat of the moment thing,
and I think Elena was probably filling emotions after she lost.
I do think that that shouldn't have been said. Knowing
Taylor personally, she's the opposite of that. She's one of
the nicest people that I ever met. So yeah, I
really hate to see that. You know, maybe this is
some of the first people hearing who Taylor Towns it is,
and I don't want that to be the main focus

(01:02:53):
of who she is, because she's a lot more than that.
She's a mom, she's a great friend, she's a talented
tennis player.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
I would be honest with you even no no white
tennis players, no more.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
All the tennis players, Blacklish Parks, Naomi Soka, the Loan Stevens,
Taylor Townsend, Coco Golf.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Yeah, but just say her name. Some people know Taylor,
Taylor Towns and Taylor Towns and Taylor Towns. Other people
to know her name, not the young lady name who
said that the ignorant ish. We support Taylor.

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:03:20):
And what I what I love about Taylor too is
first of all, she's definitely the wrong one to have
done all this week because she ain't running from nothing,
not ducking from Chicago. She posted on her Instagram right
a photo of her at that during that match and
the song she put the knuck if You Buck instrumental
and then it said bt A Can you say they
were here?

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:03:37):
Yeah, she said Belta ass right.

Speaker 19 (01:03:39):
People in the comments was like, dang, never gonna have
an HBCU day again at the US Open because people
were the crowd was going so crazy for her.

Speaker 20 (01:03:45):
She leaned into the energy. She wasn't running away from
it whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
So Verena Williams laid that foundation with Serena Williams crypt
walk crypt walk that after at a tennis match, she
laid the foundation.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
For all of this.

Speaker 20 (01:03:55):
Okay, Yes, and love it. And Venus was there this
year as well too.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
She did she do she win?

Speaker 20 (01:03:59):
I'm not for sure if she wont or not. I
know that she did her second one.

Speaker 19 (01:04:02):
Within one of her second matches, she were all white
to salute our, to salute the seventy five years of
you know, breaking barriers and all the things.

Speaker 20 (01:04:11):
But I don't know if she won that match or not.
I committed a.

Speaker 6 (01:04:13):
Crazation because it should be more HBCU DS I mean,
and getting a lot of eyes, a lot of attentions,
a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
It's really they do whatever I dj' I think last
of the year before they have the bands come out
and the bands be rocking playing and yeah it's I
think Hampton did it like two years ago. So it
was I enjoyed it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Yeah, we see you date is only it was only
one day. It was one day, you were right, Yes, yeah,
more yes, one day.

Speaker 19 (01:04:37):
Well, yes, hopefully they will and we'll find out what
happens if there's fine, if there's not. To answer the question, yes,
Venus did win, Okay, Yeah, she Venus wins a US
Open during playing in the women's doubles. Okay, then we
had done girls thirteen hours ago. Okay, so real quick,
more women's sports. Don Staley talks about potentially almost taking

(01:04:59):
a double the NBA w NBA, NBA job with the Knicks.

Speaker 20 (01:05:02):
Sick listen. I interview for the Knicks.

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
It was the same interview that everybody else that was
in their candidate pool, same thing women. I thought I
did pretty well. I was well prepared for the interview.
If the Knicks would have offered me the job, I
would have had to do it. Not just for me,
it's for women.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Just to break open that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
And it's the New York Knicks and I'm from Philly,
but it's the freaking New York Knicks.

Speaker 20 (01:05:27):
Yes, would I take.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
Any NBA job?

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
I will say this, The NBA has to be ready
for a female head coach. You can't just interview somebody
and say we're gonna hire her.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
I would have loved that for Don, but I'm so
glad that it didn't happen because that means you'll still
be in South Carolina or Game Colls for another year,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I would have loved that for her, though, Okay, I
would have loved it for New York. I thought it
would have been dope. It would have broke barriers. She's
adoredable history. Oh, I would have loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
We had to put out Uncommon Favor too immediately, Marria,
make sure you go get a down Staley's New York
Times bestselling book on Common Favor, available everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Books were sold right now.

Speaker 19 (01:06:04):
I need to get one more audio in because she
talked about why they weren't ready for her, and she's
happy that it did happen because they weren't ready to.

Speaker 20 (01:06:11):
Let's take a Let's say I think I.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Probably lost the job by asking this question, or I
had a series of questions that I asked them. One
was I said, has the New York Knicks organization in
its history ever had what you're looking for? They wanted
a team, They wanted the inclusiveness with management and the coaches,
and every wanted to feel like a team of you know,

(01:06:33):
a closely knit franchise. And the answer was really no,
If you don't hire anybody different, how are you going
to get that? And then my other question was if
you hired me as the first female coach, how would
it impact your daily job, because it would because you're
going to be asked questions that you don't have to
be asked. If you hire a male coach, there's going
to be the media that's going to be all this

(01:06:55):
stuff that you're going to have to deal with that
you you didn't have to deal with and you don't
have to deal with with when you when you hire
a mail And then I felt I felt the energy
change yesterday. So I shot myself in the foot by
being a Leah, being inquisitive asking all this dark questions.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
No, you did not Okay, you did exactly what God
wanted you to do, don and God wanted you to
still be in South Carolina with the Game Cops because
we got another national championship to win this year, coach,
and speaking of South Carolina, this Monday at noon, myself

Now this is my last thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
No, we gotta go.

Speaker 19 (01:07:51):
I want to say Venus Williams win with the first
time she won a woman's double since twenty fourteen without Serena.
It was a historic win because I wanted to make
I say yes, go ahead, I promise, go ahead and
we go.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):

Man.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
You got an album uh coming out called Today well
August when you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Night called b How you pronounce it? Via Dela Rosa.
I was listening to it. The best way to describe
it is a bunch of spiritual slaps. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, slaps for the song. You know what I'm saying.
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Do you think there's a ceiling on how well a
Christian based artist can do in.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Mainstream No, okay, no I don't.

Speaker 15 (01:15:42):
I think I think we can take it as far
as anybody else could take it, because at the end
of the day. It's us talking about our real life experiences,
you know what I'm saying, and rap it's all about
being authentic to yourself and so for me and being
true to me, like I'm a kid from Cali, I'm
a kid that fell in love with Jesus, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
And so I mix all of that into the music.
That's I want to I want to know when that happened.
Was it was it already in you as a kid
growing up or does something happened that says, nah, I'm
gonna shift my life for this. Oh no, it was definitely.

Speaker 15 (01:16:09):
It was not in me when I was a kid,
Like church was never like a meda story thing in
my household, you know what I'm saying. Like the most
that we would ever do when it came to God
was like prevor food, you know what I'm saying. So
for me, I'll never forget. I was sixteen years old
in the middle of a smoking session.

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
I was a huge here. My friend Dante was like, hey, bro,
I'm the earth man. You and me Myles I feel.

Speaker 15 (01:16:32):
But it had a stronghold on me back then, so
like I'll never forget my friend down they was like, bro,
we should go to church right now mid smoking session,
Like so yeaheah, he said we should go right now.
I'm like, like for what He's like, no, you don't Sunday.
It was a Wednesday night, so it was yeah, yeah

(01:16:53):
for the youth group. He's like, yo, it's all the
high school girls is there.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
You know what I'm saying. It be lit, Like trust me,
let's go. And so they talked me into sixteen, all
the high school I want to make sure now I
know why you're in the Jesus.

Speaker 15 (01:17:12):
And so uh we got there, but the youth group
was closed at night, so he went to the main
service with the adults and me being the main one
who didn't want to be there. I'm like on the
edge of my seat, like actually like listening and like
tapped in. And I had no prior experience to church,
so I don't know the rules of it and nothing,
but I know like I felt something I never felt before.
And then the pastor didn't off the cla at the end.

(01:17:33):
Out of this pack church, I was the only one
to go to the front tears in my eyes. I
don't even know why I'm crying. And then he prayed
for me and I literally felt like God take away
one how I gave me ane And then I started
to investigate what that feeling was and that let me here.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
Now gotta thank the weed as God man. The weed
is from the earth. You and your man got high
and he got a calling and he let you right
where you needed to be. He said, you gotta thank
the it let you right where you need to be. Dang,
and God can use whatever you want to use. You
know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (01:18:07):
They gave you a new eye. So what did you
start seeing with the new eye?

Speaker 1 (01:18:11):
Well, a new high net, new high.

Speaker 19 (01:18:14):
New eyes for show, but like like, yeah, no, I'm
just wondering because I know, like a lot of times
people say like when people get baptized, for instance, but
at least in Black churches, when you get baptized, it's
supposed to be like okay, now I'm like I can
start fresh and I've repented and all the things I
was wondering if you had that feeling of like instantly,

(01:18:35):
here's some things I won't.

Speaker 20 (01:18:35):
Let go, or like what was the renewed feeling?

Speaker 15 (01:18:39):
Yeah, So it was definitely a process for me to
like let go the old ways, you know what I'm saying,
Because I was like the party dude. Like I would
gather all my friends from the school, like let's go
to this function, Let's go top or whatever, and so
I would try to be on that same road. But
I'll never forget, like I'll have like thirty people with
me walking to a party and then I'm I'll walk
slower and slower, and it's like like go home, you

(01:19:00):
know what I'm saying, And I try to say out
of the streets because I had, like my appetite slowly
but surely started to change after that day.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
A Christian based artist and a gospel ortist.

Speaker 15 (01:19:10):
Uh, I guess it depends like if you want to
get into like like the the worship like like singing
type of music, I would say the gospel genre versus
the Christian or CCM, which is a contemporary Christian Gospel
is more so like Black Church and CCM is more
like you know, evangelical the White Church, you know what
I mean. So like Kirk Franklin is like gospel elevation

(01:19:34):
worship is like CCM, you.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 19 (01:19:37):
And your music are you trying to because not even
your visuals as well. I saw the video you put
up when you were doing High Fee for God.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:19:46):
Are you trying to like do you do you want
to reach people who are already Christians, already believers or
do you use you mix the medicine with the King
to bring in people that that you want to deliver
and bring to the word, Like what's your focus?

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:19:59):
So death only, Like, I definitely want to reach people
that believe what I believe, but I would say my
main focus right now is recent folks that that don't
necessarily believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
I believe, you know what I mean? And that's why
I like everything that on my Instagram right now.

Speaker 15 (01:20:12):
Is tailored towards reaching people who don't have the same
experiences as me as far as God is concerned, but
may have the same like street experiences as me or
like fan Hi, Yeah, yeah for sure.

Speaker 19 (01:20:24):
And I felt so bad feeling like this, But when
I went to your Instagram, I was like, he doesn't
give what people would think when they hear Christian artists
or gospel based artists like but I have in my church.
I got homies in my church that are like they
Jordan's and sneaker lovers, you know what I mean. But
I think people have like this idea of like what
a young Christian leader or whatever shit be like. But

(01:20:45):
you were complete opposite aesthetic everything.

Speaker 15 (01:20:47):
Yeah, yeah for sure. For so, I mean like, I
don't want to be something I'm not. You know what
I'm saying. I want to be unapologetically who God made
me to be. You know what I'm saying. I grew
up in a one parent household. I grew up doing drugs,
my brother in jail right now, you know what I mean.
It's like the culture I grew up in. It it's
hard to extract that from my DNA. So it's just
get what you get, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:21:08):
I mean.

Speaker 19 (01:21:09):
I was like, as, what's your family dynamic like because
you said you didn't grow up with God in the
house as much?

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Correct?

Speaker 15 (01:21:15):
They A big shout out shout out to Pops Man. Yeah,
the og Jeff Minick Senior, West Pillsburg, California.

Speaker 4 (01:21:22):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:21:23):
He he's my biggest fan for show. He doesn't necessarily
live the life that I live. He's still the og
out there. He about sixty right now, but still like
going to them clubs all in the club and from
my brother Jeffrey. I think he'll be out in a
couple of weeks. Actually he's been down for a few years. Years.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 15 (01:21:46):
So yeah, God has been working on him too, in themselves.
So looking forward to that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
What you want to play the album's play the Methods Man, all.

Speaker 15 (01:21:53):
Right, Let's play the Math that Man featuring E forty
and a cray Man from the West to the World.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Let's get it. And the album is out today. The
albums out right now, right now. We're still kicking it
with Miles Minick. His new album via Dela Rosso is
out now. Who's your influences? Coming out as a as
a Christian rapper? Who was somebody like I like the
way he does it look Cray Craig was for sure.

Speaker 15 (01:22:12):
For sure, he was the pioneer of this whole lane
and even taking it to the mainstream like Winn four Grammys,
being the first one of us from our lane to
be on Breakers Club to have a number one album
in twenty fifteen, like what we're talking about. So to
see the music is incredible, for sure, but even like
the branding the movement, him having a label, him putting

(01:22:34):
on other artists, and it was an easy example to follow.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
For Shure'll going on tour together. Yeah, they're it's a
global tour. I think I heard, yeah they're Yeah. Well
he's actually starting the global run right now. He going to.

Speaker 15 (01:22:48):
Europe, Australia, Africa. I'm just doing the North American run.
But yeah, we're doing thirty plus cities in America for
show thought October.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
First, Wow, how did y'a meet? How did you? Super crazy? Story?

Speaker 15 (01:23:02):
And so back in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, he was
doing his Anomaly tour. He came to the Bay Area
and I was determined to meet him, but I don't
have meet and greet money. So I snuck by his
tour bus and I waited by his tore bus for.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Hours to meet him.

Speaker 15 (01:23:17):
After he came out, and when he came out, I
shook his hand. I was like, Lakray, you don't know
who I am, but one day I'm gonna work with you.
I'm gonna travel the world with you. I'm gonna learn
from you, and I'm gonna make the same Monday pack
on the world as you, but take it to higher heights.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
He yel security. No, he was like, I believe with you,
young brother. And then seven years after that, he reached
out to me to do music, not even knowing.

Speaker 4 (01:23:43):
I was me.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
I did that that day.

Speaker 15 (01:23:45):
I didn't you remember after I talked Yeah, at the
end of our video shoot for our first song, I'm like,
remember that kid back in the bay who like it?

Speaker 14 (01:23:52):
That was me?

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
He like, you lie, that was you? Oh my god,
and then like all his wheels started to turning. But
that's that's a god story, bro. He can't make you.

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
Said you you want to do something with Kendrick. When
you heard Kendrick shout out la craze and d you want?
Did that feel like you was getting closer?

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
Like he definitely watched, like if you know do you
want to craze?

Speaker 15 (01:24:14):
I know you heard one of my songs came down,
I know it, and then me and Crags up the
collab project.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
I'm like, oh yeah, Like it's it's amount of time
at a time.

Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
Do you see yourself as more of a pastor with
a beat or an artist who just happens to preach.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
I don't consider myself a pastor with a beat. A
pastor is a heavy title.

Speaker 15 (01:24:35):
A pastor or somebody like you shepherd a flock like
you're there, like like checking in on people and walking
them through you know, life, which I do. I guess
I pastor a few people on my team, right, but
pastor in clonation, that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
That's a lot to do.

Speaker 15 (01:24:51):
So I consider myself a man of God. Uh with
with slapping beats, you know, I'm saying, telling my story
and reaching the world.

Speaker 19 (01:24:58):
So it's crazy because I can sit and I don't
consider you're a pastor. But I feel like when artists
make music that is in the gospel realm, you are.
You have followers the same way a pastor would. It's
just a different type of church.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. For so you know, it's crazy.

Speaker 15 (01:25:13):
Before this, I was actually a youth pastor in a
Bay Area and so I really really started to get
into like this kind of music when I was in
a church just trying to turn the youth up, you
know what I mean. But now I just do it
just for the rest of the world. But I'm doing
the same thing I was doing before. It's on a
large scale. So in a way, you're definitely correct.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
So do you call other hip hop secular music?

Speaker 10 (01:25:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
Okay, what do you call it, I don't.

Speaker 15 (01:25:38):
I mean when I'm talking to like my Christian audience,
I do because that's what they understand. But typically I
say mainstream or general market artists, I don't want to
like alien aid and put that title on them, like
these secular means without God. And a lot of these
artists aren't without God. They have them, they just have
a different art form expression.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
So how do you draw from mainstream hip hop culture
while still turning it into something that's like holy and redemptive?

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
M m uh.

Speaker 15 (01:26:06):
I mean, I I'm with I'm within it, you know
what I'm saying. I'm within the mainstream culture now and
I'm also within the Church. And so when I'm making music,
you get the best of both worlds without me without
me compromising either, you know what I'm saying, Like when
you hear my music, it's on that level that you're
here on the radio, and it's also something that the

(01:26:27):
Church could appreciate and slap like I'm not breaking the
r I guess the rules of of the Church or
disrespecting the Bible.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
I'm honoring the Bible and making stuf good enough to
hear on a global level, you feel pressure at all
you know, cause a lot of people I'm sure, follow you,
listen to you because they feel like your story is
closer to theirs, right, they came from a certain place,
they did a certain thing, and you know, people make mistakes.
But then when people look at the church sometimes they
feel like a pastor acts like they're holier than now

(01:26:55):
and what they should do. And then you know when
they pull a curtain back, it's like this passage is
cheap on this one or this passages? Did this this
pass it of that? So does that give you any
way of like any pressure with what you do in
life outside of the music, personal, the way you walk,
et cetera.

Speaker 15 (01:27:10):
I mean, with with with the platform comes pressure, for sure,
And I definitely don't want to be the next person
to temper somebody's faith by a certain mistake that I
could fall into. But I mean, you know, we all
have temptations, and I got the same amount of temptations
as any anybody else with a platform or anybody else period.

Speaker 1 (01:27:31):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:27:31):
But what keeps me, what keeps me grounding with the
right perspective, is having the right ones around me with safeguards,
Like my tour manager has my hotel key, all my
Remember my team has the passwords of my phone, like
my team has my social media logins, like they know
what's happening. They know what's up because I don't want
to fall into that. So there is pressure, but I

(01:27:52):
think it's healthy pressure.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
Were you Were you the first Christian ict to be
booked a rolling for show for show, So let me
let me, let me get the context.

Speaker 15 (01:27:59):
So there was a Christian rap set in Miami before
my set, but but that set was more like Sunday Morning.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
DJ. I don't know why. I'm joying to blank, he's
the official these everyone allowed. Shout out to you, bro.

Speaker 15 (01:28:15):
He books like eight Christian rappers to come out during
his set, So that happened, but as official, like I'm going,
I'm going to book a Christian artist for a full set. Yes,
in Los Angeles, California in March.

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
That thing went crazy?

Speaker 20 (01:28:30):
Is the DJ five Venom five venoms?

Speaker 24 (01:28:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
Shout out to five Venoms man. What role do you
think Christian raps?

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
My last ones think Christian rap plays and bringing I
guess the church to the screets? Are are you trying
to bring the streets to the church? Like I don't
want to say all the Christ Raptulu.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, bye.

Speaker 15 (01:28:56):
I think my music takes the church to the block
with the tension of bringing the block to the church.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
Yeah for sure.

Speaker 15 (01:29:03):
Like like when you hear my music, man, I'll be
I'll be driving around through La through the Bay, I'll
be hearing my stuff through every neighborhood, bro like slapping
them from God, Stockton, Richmond, Like it's reaching them, but
with the intention for them to get closer to God,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:29:21):
So that's what it is for us.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
Yeah, I mean it's almost impossible for you to be
judgment to it because of because of how you got
brought to God.

Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Yeah, smoking that weed, you know what I mean.

Speaker 15 (01:29:31):
But sure, like I get it, like I understand people struggles,
people's stories, like I lived it and a lot of
my family is still living it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:29:40):
I'm still in it in a lot of ways. And
so they love God and love people, not just we
appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
For joining us. The album is out today. The album
is out right now.

Speaker 10 (01:29:48):
VI.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
So that's right, it's what does that mean anyway?

Speaker 15 (01:29:57):
Yeah, Villa Rosa. It translates to the path way or
the sorrowful road. It's literally the road that Jesus walked
on when he's carrying his cross. I am ethnically ambiguous.

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
You know what I'm saying. Shout out to my Messicans,
but I'm not Messkan. I'm half black, half white, says Christ.
Just because Hazeus crech Store I do, I do.

Speaker 15 (01:30:20):
Yeah, yeah we got we got Hazeus Cristo hats and
all of that popping off.

Speaker 25 (01:32:12):
Her biggest record is actually the single called Crossfaded, but
that's just my favorite one off of the tape. Next,
I'm going to this y G and Leon Thomas record.
It's called Lovers and Friends. They actually did a music
video for too. That's pretty fire, but I like I
like the bounce in this song Leona.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
If a man asked me that, how do you respond
if a man say all we love is all we friends?
What do y'all say?

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):

He dropped the project about a month ago. I've been
sitting with it and this takes a Village record. I
really I love the messaging in this record.

of it. You want to hear the hold on?

Speaker 25 (01:33:31):

last record is of course off of Joey's new tape. Now,
I didn't get to sit with the projects, so I

Brie Steve's I like it, Joy Bads Whole tape Tough
only at the time. I don't know why we still
call them tapes, but yes, Joy Bads whole project is
