No one got my drink. I want to join in on the libations. For you? Thank you. Well, you got a lot. It's a good ass camera. And for you, sir. Yes, sir. All right. Camera's rolling. Whatever you guys are ready. Can I, can I get, can I get in a chair first?
Of course. I'm so happy y'all didn't got to thank the moss me. Ha, you're funny. No, I'm honest. You know, last time I was here, I was 561 lbs. Yeah. So, yeah, y'all would have to pull the bed out. You know what I'm saying? You ready? Ready now? Oh, you used to be that big? Oh, damn. I thought that just went over my head. Okay. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne tha God, Jess Hilarious, DJ Envy is out today, but Lore'l Larose is in. And we got the good brother Dave Anderson, the author of the new book, Real Black Agenda, available now. How are you, sir?
Brother, it's so good to see you. If I had your hands, I'd have cut mine off, bro. Beautiful, man. Thank you so much for having me. I am wonderful. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. Let's talk about the Real Black Agenda, man. What, what, what is the Real Black Agenda?
The Real Black Agenda is my love letter to Black America. Because, you know this, every time somebody brings up a problem in Black America, the first thing folks say is, "Well, what's the solution? What, what are we going to do? What's the solution?" So, I, I, I took about 30,000 words and I put it down. Uh, we talk about everything from Teezy, thank you for the $4.99. That's major love because my generation didn't support the young like this. We, we need more like Ant and Dan. If you know, you know. Shout out to my dog Daniel, too. Shout out to Dan. Appreciate you, Teezy. Much love to you, fam. Shout out to Teezy. Thank y'all for the donos, y'all. The, the food desert crisis to healthcare to how both sides of the aisle are playing us for suckers and patsies, and we haven't really had any real movement. And aside from that, the one thing that I spent a lot of time talking about was the education system, you know, from PWIs to HBCUs to my 10-year-old daughter's autism and what that looked like in a public school forum. And so, I got sick of watching people playing our face, and so I decided to put it all out there 'cause now you can't say you don't know. So, information is power, and that's why I wrote this book. Mhm.
You say in the book that we don't need more symbolism, we need structure. What does, what does real structural change look like to you in 2025?
I want to tell you the one thing that we have been missing is collective cooperative group economics. We don't have it. We have what I call the ONA rule, right? That's the one negro at a time rule, right? One person's got to be the person on top. Like, everybody wants to drive the bus, but my whole thing is, I've known this man for 20 years. If he says, "This is my bus, get on board." I don't care that he's driving it. I care that we get to where we need to go. We're not doing that. Everywhere you look, and I've lived in 34 cities and 19 states 'cause radio has you jumping up and down the dial. I've seen a deli district everywhere I've gone. I've seen a diamond district. I have seen a Little Italy. I've seen a Chinatown. I've seen a Koreatown. Where's Brother-ville? Where's Black Girl Magic Town? Oh, that's right, they don't exist. But, you know what I have seen? The hood. You know who's in the hood? Us. For the most part. And the reason is, we don't know how to collectively handle our business, and we're looking for everybody else to save us. Well, I hate to break it to you, they ain't coming.
Well, I think we can look to history to know that those things are possible, though, right?
Absolutely. Everything is possible. Yeah, those communities have existed, whether it was Brownsville in Chicago, whether it was Black Wall Street, whether it was uh Eatonville in Florida, Wilmington, North Carolina, Philadelphia, Fayetteville, North Carolina. Like, it's not that it's not possible, but what happens is we start to believe that if we get a couple of places, then the problem is solved. If the problem was solved, we would not still be struggling, right? So, if the majority of densely populated black neighborhoods have food deserts, right? Then we talk about, well, you know, why are we so unhealthy all the time? The reason we're unhealthy all the time is because all we have is a steady diet of fast food and poppy stores. We don't have access to nutrition. Nobody's teaching about farming. Nobody's teaching about hunting. Nobody's teaching about the importance of physical fitness. We're talking about things that are surface level. As I'll say this, um, to that point that Dave just made. First of all, let's just put this out there. Charlamagne is not somebody that you have an intellectual. I'm not. This is not to Dave, I'm speaking in general. Charlamagne is not somebody that you have an intellectual conversation with. He's a radio personality that's trying to get attention. I don't even think he believes half of the stuff that he says. He tries to do stuff for attention so he can get his money up, so he can get his, you know, so he can just get views up. That is a man with no integrity. He does not care. That's number one. And I think Dave understands that. And Dave, if you ever watch this, you ain't got to say it, I'll say it. This Dave didn't tell me to say nothing that I'm that I'm saying this entire stream, no. This is just what my own thought process. But, um, but I will say this, I disagree to the, to an extent that we don't have access to, um, that we don't have access to healthy foods. Um, in most black American cities, there is a farmer's market for sure. Um, it's not like there's not grocery stores that we go to. I think the bigger problem is the next point that he said was to say that we don't, we don't teach healthy eating. Like, that's not something that we do as a collective in the community. We have an acceptance thing where like, Big Mama with the big fat flabby arms is stirring mac and cheese and making yams. Like, why do we, why does she have to be Big Mama? Like, that's like the norm for us. We, we like accept like these things without taking accountability. You know what I'm saying? So, I think that like, I, I wouldn't fully say that it's just we don't, we, we just don't have access to it. No, I think we have access to it. I just don't think that we hold each other accountable enough 'cause we just accept, we just accept Big Mama being Big Mama. We accept, you know, people just being massively overweight. And that's not cool. Now, I'm not saying you got to be a damn bodybuilder, you got to be in the best shape of your life. I didn't say that. What, what I am saying is, there's an acceptance that we have as a community that is not okay. And then, the other problem is when you call it out, people get upset. When you call out people being just severely overweight or being obese and not trying to do anything to change it, people will get upset and mad at you. And they'll say, "Oh, you just hate women. Oh, you just hate. You just trying to call out." No, it's the truth. It is what it is. I speak about this all the time, and people don't like when I say it, but the average black woman in America is 187 lbs. That is not okay. Even with black men. Black men have an issue with heart disease and all of these things and and cardiovascular issues and all of that stuff. We don't talk about it enough. We just wait until we get in our 40s and 50s and be like, "Damn." We don't talk about it enough. So, these are things that we need to talk about. If we don't talk about it, then it's going to be, it's going to be a problem. We have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer as black, prostate cancer as black men. Like, these are things we need to talk about. Places like The Breakfast Club. Shout out to FBA Justice with the $4.99. FBA Justice says, "Places like The Breakfast Club are paid to distract FBA by his bosses. These don't stand for anything positive for the FBA community." I 100% agree with you. Shout out to FBA Justice. 100% agree. But, let's, let's keep going. As opposed to really diving deep. And so, if we don't have a plan of attack that we all can get behind, and I don't care if it's mine, I don't care if it's Boyce Watkins', I don't care if it's Dr. Claude Anderson's, we need to come together and say, "This is a problem we all need to solve together."
Question, is it nobody is talking about these things, or those voices just need to be amplified? 'Cause once again, I go back to history. Mhm. Elijah Muhammad wrote How to Eat to Live.
Yes.
You know, Dr. Sebi, God bless his soul. Like, you know, I mean, he was teaching health better than most. So, it's like these people existed. The blueprint is there. Do these things need to be amplified? And if there are people in our community that are doing those things now. They just may not, you know, be the most known. They're not as famous as you. Even Dr. Sebi, you know, if it wasn't for Left Eye seeing him, we wouldn't know his name, right? We have gotten ourselves to a point. This is what Malcolm X warned about. We're spending a whole lot of time listening to comedians and trumpet players and not listening to the experts. You know, I had this conversation with David Banner all the time. Shout out to good brother David Banner. The thing of it is, we need scholars. We need people who study this. We need people who are experts in the things that we're not. But, who do we turn to? Think about what happened on 9/11. Let's see what Y'all Rule has to say on the subject. Like, this is what we do. We value celebrities so much. We don't pay attention to the people who have actually studied these things, have lived these things, have researched these things because they're not cool enough, they don't have enough swag. That needs to stop. The idol worship is how we've gotten our asses in a sling in the first place, and we're not getting it out. So, yes, people are saying it, but the people who are and need to say it, the celebrities who have the audience, they're either not giving their platforms over, present company excluded, but they're not also coming up with strategies in order to say, "Let me educate myself enough so that I'm not sending my audience into a burning house." Mhm.
I wonder if this guy. Okay, Jess. What have, what have you built for us to, to bridge that gap then? You know what I'm saying? You're not the celebrity, you're not the person that that we would, you know. What have you?
That is a good question, and it's a fair question, Jess. Um, so, one of the things that I noticed is I, I live for the world that exists. I don't live for the world that I wish existed. So, um, for this company, I became the first director of social media, which makes me the first director of social media for a Fortune 500 company ever. So, I took that knowledge and I expanded it. And what I did was I created a company called Zenith Media Labs. So, now you don't have to go through ManyChat in order to have DM automations. Um, when I was working here, Tony Moulay, who's still here, we talked to corporate, and we're like, "Virality is a science. It's not something that you can, you know, just throw against the wall." It becomes a situation where if you know how to work this, if you understand how the human mind works, how people have that dopamine hit, what to say, what the visual effects look like, then you don't have to worry about that. The reason my clips go viral is because I have an entire team of people who do nothing but that. I retired from radio and became a business coach because my ideas kept popping up and I wasn't getting paid for them. Tell me I'm lying.
What you mean? Just. How many times have I done an idea and somebody else cashed out on it? Like it's.
Give some examples.
We, we, we going to go there?
Yes, please. I would love to 'cause I ain't going to have people steal my ideas, too. It's not even a matter of stealing because when you're young, you don't know better. There's this term called work for hire, right? So, let's go with, um, there was a reality show gimmick I pitched to a person that I used to produce for whose name I will not say. And person said, "No, I want to do a sitcom." And I'm like, "Nah, just give me a budget. Let's shoot this pilot and watch it go." So, we did the pilot. It's still up on my YouTube channel, so y'all can go look at it if you if you want receipts. And when I left that person, he went and did the sitcom and the sitcom flopped badly. So, he dusted off the old reality thing that he turned his nose up at, became the number one show on that particular network. You know, things like having cameras in studios so that we could interview folks. I was doing that 15, 16 years ago. And people were like, "Why are you running around with a flip cam? This don't make no sense. Nobody wants to see no backstage interviews with rappers. This is radio." Every. It's, it's standard now, but see the look you have on your face?
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? So, a lot of times.
Yeah, that was that was for our era. That was regular.
Yeah. Yeah. So, 'cause we were, we were the one, we were like the first generation internet people.
Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, those types of things just after a while, you get yourself to a point where you start to realize that if you're going to make it, the best way to make it is to make it yourself.
Yeah.
You know, and so, you know, that type of thing is extremely important. Plus, you know, I've put more single moms in the 1% than a can of a bag of Viagra.
Oh, my goodness.
A lot of, a lot of women in the 1%. The, the thing of it is, most people don't know how to monetize what they do. They only know how to do what they're good at. So, if you're making cookies, you don't have a system in how to sell those cookies. I help you create the system. You know, so we build websites, we have retreats. My man Angelo, he, we take a day out of the month and we shoot all your content for you, we do all your pictures, and then I give you a, a blueprint as to what to do.
Speaking of which, Jess, I saw this video. My wife showed it to me years ago.
Oh, god. No, no. You don't even know what I'm going to say. I don't know. You ain't got to say Jess. Years ago, I'm like, "Oh, god." Damn, she like. She has a very, very, very deep voice. It's so unattractive when a woman has a deep voice, and she sounds like a 50-year cigarette smoker that's 70 that went to that like was in like the Vietnam War. Like it's terrible. Her voice is disgusting for her to be like in her 20s or 30s. Like her voice is disgusting. I know she, she, I think she probably like in her early 30s, but there's no reason why a woman's voice should, should like sound like that. Like you're supposed to be feminine and nice and soft. Her voice is disgusting. She's so unattractive. Her voice is just even more. I couldn't imagine being behind that and just hearing the, the, the. I just, I would goodness. It does just sound like you would a man. I don't, I don't know. It's, it's so unattractive. I don't know. And she's not funny at all. And she acts like a dude. Very masculine. Very like this, this like bullish demeanor about her. She's just, I don't know. It's, she acts like a man. It's ridiculous.
Niagara Falls. Damn, I thought I was going to get through this unscathed. I was just going to sit here and.
No, you, you did this video where you were talking about how every time you went to somebody and tried to get answers as to how they could build their business, they'd be like, "Oh, I just got to pray it out and, you know, you just got to keep God first and so on and so forth." But you're like, "No, but tell me how." "Well, you know, you just got to work hard and then."
So, because of that.
Somebody said she would bully Aunt.
No, I don't deal with masculine women. Only, only the only men that deal with women that bully them are weak men. A lot of you guys are attracted to stuff like this because you're weak. You go, you know, you, and your woman are the same. You don't put her in her place. You don't, you don't operate with with your woman correctly. You act like a girl. Cuz that. No, no, no woman like that bully me. I'm a man. Ain't no woman ever going to bully me or think about doing that ever in her [ __ ] life. Um, a lot of you dudes like that type of stuff because you don't, you've never really dealt with any women of value. Your woman don't even cook and clean. You go 50/50 with her 'cause you act like a girl. DJ from uh K Pool, I'm probably saying your, it's, I'm saying your name incorrectly. Thank you for the $5 donation. I just bought Dave Anderson's book, Black Agenda. Good reading. For sure, man. Y'all go lock, lock in with that book, man. Go look, that, that book up. Shout out to, shout out to my dog DJ with the $5 donator.
The moan is wilder. I can only imagine what it sounds like.
It's, I don't know. It's crazy. But yeah, you dudes like this. Yeah, your mama. Your mama act like this. Your mama real masculine. My mama always got an attitude. Your mama sit back in the chair like this like a dude. So, you know, a lot of you dudes is used to that 'cause you, that's how your mama operate. So, you don't have no other, you have no nothing else to look for. Feminine women are the, the women that y'all don't want. Y'all dudes act weak. But let's keep going. This is my gift to you.
$2 million blueprint for you.
Thank you.
Leave her alone, man. Lame-ass [ __ ] you.
$2 million blueprint?
Yep. What am I, what, what, what does that mean? It's in there. Um, Lauren one for you. Thank you. About to show us how to make a million dollars. You know, got one for EFN Big Mac as well. But no, because the thing of it is, right? You're laughing till you run the numbers. The thing of it is, a lot of times we miss out on monthly recurring revenue. We miss out on the non-traditional revenue because we're doing things thinking that working hard is going to get us there. And I ain't met a black person yet that don't know how to work hard or didn't have somebody in their family. If our grandparents got paid for how hard they worked, we'd be billionaire trust fund babies, but we're not. No pitching, no nothing. Everything's there. I wrote out SOPs so you can take it to your team and literally run it. You know, Lauren, you got Brown Girl Grinding. I found a couple ways to expand that. You know, Charlamagne, you got more content than anybody knows what to do with, but you know, the archive game could be a lot stronger, so we went with that angle. Jess, I love what you're doing, but you're building everybody else's brand more than you're building your own. So, that's the strategy for that.
Thank you. So, when Jess asks you, "What did you build?" What do you, what did you build?
You give people direction social-wise and social-wise.
Social-wise, business-wise, marketing-wise. Yeah.
Got you. If, if you had a hundred million to deploy for black advancement, like with no red tape, how would you use it?
Wow. The first thing I would do is I would create, um, healthy gardens where people can grow their own food because what they're putting in the food doesn't make any sense.
Yeah.
Right? We, if you got to have resources, the size of T.I.'s in order to figure out what the ingredients are on your food, that's a problem. You know, one of the main things I started doing was eating whole foods. I haven't had a soda since July 17th, 2021.
You know.
Damn.
Yeah, now, will you stop damning me, Jess? You've been, you've been damning me a lot. And you was what? You, at your biggest, what were you?
561 lbs.
Damn. Didn't I just ask you? I gave you a plan, and this is how you.
The disrespect. She's so masculine, she can't help herself. Damn. Like a dude. Like, like a, like a big fat dude in the back of the, back of a club just like sitting there listening to comedian talk. Sitting there with her arm in the back like this. These modern women are so masculine. They can't help theyself but to act like a man. It's just ridiculous. It's like an impulse that they have. Deep voice, look like a man, act like a man, talk like a man, dress like a man, tattoos all on her arm. Like a dude. A lot of you dudes like that though 'cause you like masculine women. You don't like feminine women. I'm just saying.
Jess proving Aunt point by the second, literally. It never stops. It's going to get worse and worse and worse as the life goes, as the life goes on. And the masculine women and the dudes who like these type of women are going to get upset at my chat, and I could care less. Let's keep going. That was.
You weren't there no more though.
No, no, no. Where were you at now?
Uh, 200 and.
Somebody said, "Why does she bother me so much?"
Masculine women are always going to bother me because it's very unattractive, and we have too much of that in the community. So, it, it needs to be fixed. It should bother. It, it doesn't bother us enough. That's the problem, which is why the cycle keeps continuing. We have too many weak males that are scared to call it out because they're looking for sex, and they're looking for the acceptance of not saying anything bad about a woman because they're going to call me insecure and controlling. See, we have too much of that. So, I think we need more men to speak up on it and stand on their tin, and then the community will be better. But we don't have enough black male leaders because a lot of you guys are weak. A lot of you modern men are very weak. So, you let these things operate because, "Well, I don't want to say anything wrong to hurt feelings." You dudes are soft. So, yeah, it's going to bother me, and that's the reason why the 70% of these black households are ran by women, and a lot of these men are homosexuals or they go into the streets because there's not enough masculine straight black men calling these negative behaviors out. And then we don't call the other men out like Charlamagne, who's also a homosexual, who sits up there and operate in the degeneracy as well. So, you damn right I'm going to call that out. I'm, you damn right I'm going to say something about it. If you don't like it, you can unsubscribe and dislike the video or eat a dick. I don't really care. Let's keep going.
229. That is. How did you lose the weight?
Okay. So, I prayed a lot and I worked hard.
Shut up.
No, okay, a few things. The first thing I did was I found a therapist, right? The second thing I did is I found a nutritionist, right? The third thing I did was I found Dr. Gary Course, who was a gastric surgeon. Yes, I had gastric sleeve surgery, and for anybody who says that's cheating, you weren't going to pay for my funeral. You might have, but I can't speak for anybody. I'm ending this friendship with this man. The thing of it is, my wife said to me, "I don't know any elderly people who are almost 600 lbs." And the truth of the matter is big people ran in my family because nobody in my family ran. Mhm. And like we keep looking for other solutions, but I, I, I had to get a hold of myself because what is it to build on this if I'm just going to die? You know, my brother died and my brother was a cop. He was in real good shape and then the next thing you know, heart valve, boom. But getting back to your 100 million 'cause I don't lose sight of that. Um, I would fix schools. Right? I would call Dr. Umar's bluff and go in and put, put in the H-VAC and, uh, I just found out he needed $100,000 for the electricity to get on 'cause somebody broke into his school, but they need the electricity on for $100,000 in order to get the tapes. Whatever it is. The idea is we want to start educating our own kids because here's the gap.
Yeah, they did refuse to release it. Dave sent me this interview specifically. So, I got his express written consent. So, The Breakfast Club doesn't want to release this interview 'cause I guess Dave went up here and destroyed these people, but we going to keep watching. But yeah, this is an exclusive interview that nobody has ever seen. This my first time seeing it, too.
We keep getting mad at the government for doing what the government has been set up to do, which is take.
And for all you people that keep questioning Dave's lineage, like because you don't know him, don't mean that he's not a black American. You might not know him. Dave been doing this for a long time. Dave is this very successful author. He's, he writes books. Dave is not an immigrant. He's not Caribbean. He's not African. Dave is a foundation of black American. So, all you people that don't, just because you don't know somebody and they may say something that you disagree with, the first thing that y'all do is, "Oh, he's a Caribbean. He might, he might be a tether." Like, come on, man. Y'all need to do your research before you say stuff. Let's keep going, though.
Take care of it and it's never us, right? We out here fighting for this and fighting for that, but if we control our education, if we control our communications, that's why I'm a big believer. I would take some of that money and create black-owned and black-operated media outlets because that's extremely important. I would also create things that would allow young people to find something else to do other than participate in the YN apocalypse, right? These kids don't want to be garbage men. They don't want to be accountants 'cause they haven't seen a sexy accountant. They haven't seen what it looks like to be a lawyer 'cause every lawyer they know is either a PD or in a ton of debt. So, I would spend a lot of money marketing to what really makes money long-term. I would also start to teach about legacy and trust and copyrights and trademarks because those things have value. Aside from that.
Thank you.
We need to do better by our elders. We have failed our elders in a lot of ways. There's too many black elders who are, who are dying alone. You know, dying lonely and we don't talk about that. You know, my mom's 78. She's retired. She lives in Arizona. She, you know, she taught for 40 plus years in the Philadelphia public school system and I saw what ignorance does. And I also think we need to put a lot of money into counter programming 'cause we got all this music where we're disrespecting each other. We've got all these reality shows that are funded by people who do not look like us, but they put black faces in in high spaces and say, "Look, you guys wanted this." Sort of like what they did with the crime bill. We got to start giving people a reason to do something other than ratchet tree, negativity, and and crime. And that's, that's the thing that no one wants to talk about. And if they talk about it, it, it's not a substantive conversation.
All of the things that you're saying are great and I feel like that's what people echo all the time. But like on, like a more direct level, what is that? Because when you talk about giving people something to do, you put community centers in the neighborhood and sometimes it reverses violence, sometimes it doesn't. But like that's a go-to thing to do. Like what, what about what you're saying and your agenda is going to make all of this like different? Because we hear all this rhetoric like every day.
No, you definitely hear the rhetoric every day. My whole thing is.
You see, I trained her. That's why she just went like that.
No, that was that was good, man. And, and the way you taught her to read, listen. First of all, that's the education Dave. That's the education I got.
They did.
Now, now you did. 'Cause I, 'cause I, yeah, 'cause I called it, too. But that's the education in the, um, school systems you talking about.
Uh, absolutely. But here's the thing. The difference is this, right? And maybe it's because I come from a long line of educators. My grandmother was a teacher. My stepfather was a teacher. My uncle, God rest his soul, was a teacher. My mom was a teacher. My oldest daughter is now a teacher. Mhm. It's not the education you get in the school. We have signed off on state-sanctioned babysitting. We have not really opted in to educating. The reason I pulled my 10-year-old daughter out of public school was because she had mild autism and young black girls are usually the last to get diagnosed, Mhm. you know, with autism. And autism has spiked for a myriad of reasons. But the thing of it is, it's our job to educate our children about our history, about our culture, about how important it is to cultivate our communities. We're not doing that because no one's incentivizing that. That's not going to go viral. But you know, we got time though to to wave fans and talk about our boots on the ground, but are our boots on the ground in in in a real way? Everybody talks about it, but I'm living proof that it can happen. You know, I retired, wound up homeless, built myself back up. You've never seen a Dave Anderson out a day in your life. And if I can move organically, if a fat kid from the hood who went to the worst high school in America.
Nodded it. Thank you for the $1. Much, much love. God, God bless the family all day, every day.
Nodded it. Thank you for the $1. I appreciate you, fam. Thank you for the.
Shout out to Nodded it.
And a speech impediment can make a career as a speaker or business coach and a serial entrepreneur, it is possible. But we've got to start making home education a priority. And if you have to send your kid into that state-sanctioned indoctrination camp, it is your duty and your responsibility and the blood of your on your ancestors calls for you to educate your child beyond what they're feeding your child because what they're feeding your child is indoctrination. And on top of that, most people don't even realize that from 7:00 to 3:00, you give up your parental rights to the state. There's something on the books in all these 50 states called in loco parentis, which means in the place of the parent. They can do whatever they want to do with your kid. You ain't got no, you have no say so. They are the parent from 7:00 to 3:00. And how about no? Because nobody's going to love my child the way that I'm going to love my child. That's going to educate my child in the way that my child needs to be educated. So, I, I.
He's speaking facts and this is exactly why these kids go to these schools and they end up getting indoctrinated. I talk about this all the time, man. Like indoctrination is the biggest thing that's wrong with, you know, people and the. I don't think the, the, the parents, like respectfully, I know a lot of y'all in here are older, but I don't think y'all understand how deep indoctrination is because y'all didn't grow up with social media. Y'all didn't grow up with like the internet like we did. You know, so when y'all was in high school and college, some of y'all that did go to college, you didn't go to college in the social media age. You went to college in, or you went to high school in the '90s and the '80s and the '70s. Like these kids that sit in these high schools now, the stuff that they learning at these schools, it is nothing but liberal indoctrination camps. So, why do you think they have classes called the liberal arts? It's literally teaching you to think and operate a certain way. And I don't think people really understand that. And y'all let these schools raise y'all. Y'all have to think a lot of y'all are with y'all are a lot of these parents out here that's raising children, your children is what your child is with the school more than they with you. Because when they go to school, they waking up at 6:00 in the morning. They with you for 20 minutes. You take them to school or something. They get at school. Now they at school at 7:30. They from school from 7:30 until 3:00 in the afternoon. Maybe they're an athlete. Maybe they have an after-school program or whatever that is. Maybe they in chess club. I don't know. They in school for maybe even maybe another couple more hours. And then they come home and maybe you don't get off work until a couple hours. And they maybe come home. They get a ride from a friend or by their sister or whatever it is and from, from whoever. And you're not even around them that much. So, you're not really being able to like actually interact with your child. And that's why your child is not knowing, he doesn't know anything. And then when they do come home, you just, they just play Roblox all day. They playing Fortnite all day. You let them watch these streamers cussing out and speed. That's all they do. They don't know anything. It's rotting their brain. All of this stuff is indoctrination and people don't understand that. The only way that you going to be able to really teach your, your child what they need, or he or she needs to know is for you to teach them at home. That's why it's very important. Now, it's not to say that they can't go to public school, but it is to say there needs to be some type of of of education after that. You need to be teaching your child their history. You need to be teaching your child how to eat. You need to be teaching your child to to have a consistent workout plan. You need to be teaching your son specifically a martial art. And especially this is going to go for the women that's listening to this when y'all are raising these sons. The reason why I'm, I'm, I'm bringing that up is because most of these households are female led and, and, and ran, basically. So, unfortunately, that burden is going to fall a lot on y'all because of the father either either isn't there or the child is with the father for the weekend or maybe he go to his dad's house for the summer or whatever it is. He's not there on an everyday basis. And when you, when a lot of these mothers, unfortunately, y'all raise your child to children to be son husbands. You should raise these boys to be son husbands. Or you raise your daughter and your daughter getting indoctrinated by the hypersexuality of society and all of this stuff ends up being a cycle and this is why our community is messed up because we not raising our sons to be husbands. We not raising our daughters to be wives. And a lot of these fathers, they just get around and let's go, let's go to an arcade. Let's go watch the game. Let's go play the video game. Let's go do this or do that. But are you teaching your son or daughter anything? You're not teaching them no game. You're not teaching them no type of wisdom or nothing. You just, every time they get with dad, we can have fun. But what are they learning from you? What can they take into their, as they, as they, as they age? What are they taking with them outside? Every time I'm around dad, we get to play video games and he buys me pizza. That's not really doing anything. That's great and that's fine, but there's a time and place for that. There needs to be real things a child are instilling into these children and that's not what happened. Now y'all wonder why the older generation always complaining about what's wrong with these new kids? Well, who raising them? Who raising them? The internet is raising them. The school is raising them. Y'all, y'all. The teacher is a white lady who went to a damn PWI, who don't even, who not even from the community that she's teaching in. What the hell you think she going to teach your black ass son or daughter? Nothing. Whatever is coming on in it, whatever is in that book. Whatever is in that so-called education. They're not learning about their history. You think they're learning about the Black Panther Party in in high school? Hell no. In middle school? Hell no. We learn about black history in February. You learn about Martin Luther King, you learn about Rosa Parks and that's it. And you learn that AR came from Africa and that's it. Why? That's why the indoctrination is, is what it is now. There's no reason why the majority of like this new thought process of, you know, embracing our black American community is is is overwhelmingly uh uh pushed and talked about by people that are twice my age. And this is no diss to y'all, but this is something that should be. The younger generation should be speaking up and talking about. But why does it take for us to be in our late 30s and 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s to be like, "Okay, now I get it." It's because it took you that long to get out of the indoctrination because you didn't get it when you was younger. This is why we need to have these conversations young. We need to be teaching our children about this stuff at a young age. Not just with their ideology and how they view themselves and their history, but also everything that they do in life. My [ __ ] All this stuff got to be done when they're young. They're not too young to hear about it. They need to, they need to hear about it. That's not to say that you take away their childhood away from. They can still have fun. I played video games when I was a kid. I did everything every other kid did. But I, I, I would say that I had a lot of, I had a lot of like people in my ear telling me the right stuff. Do you feel me? So, that's what needs to happen.
Shout out to, shout out to OG, um, shout out to. Hold on. Damn, why can't I see the name no more? Where the name go? Okay, my whole chat is messed up right now. Hold on.
OG Alonzo, thank you for the $5 donation. How do we allow white teachers to educate our children? Why do we think they will give them the tools to stop the status quo?
Exactly. Exactly. And don't think because they're white they're educating your children. You got a lot of these black teachers that don't know nothing either. Your black, the black teacher teaching Pan-Africanism. You think because your kid go to a black high school and the teachers is black that they know what they're talking. Them teachers don't know a damn thing either. They're teaching the same liberal democratic talk and points and the same thing into your children. Letting your pushing the fact that your son can be a girl because he feel like one. Same thing on the flip side. All of this stuff is an abomination. It's against God. It's against family. It's against the pro, the, the nuclear black family. Y'all wonder why the generation is messed up now because there ain't no structure. Weak ass men and the majority of the black, the, the average black male in America is weak. I don't give a damn who get mad. Cry about it, [ __ ], unsubscribe, dislike the video, cry about it on your fake ass page, [ __ ]. The average black male is weak in America. The average man in general is weak, but the average black male is weak because y'all don't, because in general, not everybody, but the majority of us aren't speaking like this. We have no structure. That's why the women are out here running rampant. Are these little boys doing what they're doing? These little girls doing what they're doing? Because there's no structure. And we don't get it until we're late, until we're older. 30s and 40s and 50s. Then it's like, "Okay, now I get it." You should have got it 30 years ago, [ __ ]. Fred Hampton got it when he was 19. What's stopping you? We got all the education in the world that we got. We got these right here. This is everything you need right in this phone. We sitting on here scrolling and doing everything else. You need to be teaching your kids. It start with, with, with the households, man.
Shout out to Ernest with the $10 donation. Keep up the great work. I appreciate you, Ernest. Shout out to OG Ernest. And, um, Abdullah, thank you for the $2 donation. I appreciate you, Abdullah. Thank you for the $2. Um, somebody else sent me something. I can't see it, though. Hold on. Did it go away? I think I missed somebody. My bad, y'all. I missed somebody. Hold on one second. I'm trying to get to everybody's donuts. Oh, no. I got it. Never mind. I got to everything. All right. All right, let's keep going.
I agree with a lot of the things that you're saying. I think that sometimes we do generalizations, though. Certainly. I don't, I don't think we give each other, I'll give our community enough credit for the things that we are achieving. Like we talk about black women being the most educated group in the United States.
So, sometimes you cap. So, we got to stop lying. This is the problem with being indoctrinated. That is a lie. And this is no diss to black women. This is just me speaking the truth. Black women are not the most educated demographic in America. That is a lie. Black women have the highest rates of people getting degrees and the highest rates of people who are enrolled in schools. That does not include people who graduate. That does not include population in numbers. That does not mean they're the most educated. The most educated. Even, even when you say educated, that is a quotation 'cause what do we classify as so-called educated? No, they're the most enrolled as far as the highest group of women who are getting enrolled the fastest. Has nothing to do with being the smartest group of women in America. Neither are black men. So, this is no. I'm. You're just trying to attack black women. No, the same logic as applies with black men. It would literally be statistically and population-wise impossible because black women only make up like 7% of the US population. There are way more white women in America and there's way more Asian women in America that go to school and actually get degrees. So, that's not true whatsoever. That is a lie. That's not true whatsoever. That is a delusional talking point that keeps getting pushed out there to the masses. So, I don't know why they keep saying that. They're not the most educated group in America. It's not true at all. I don't know. I, I don't know why they keep spewing that, just that lie out there. It's not true. It's just not true whatsoever. And I think the reason why. I'll tell you why I think actually. Now that I think about it. They just want to try to build up some, some gender race divide. Well, black women are the most educated and look at what the black men are doing. Well, that. Black women have more degrees than. Black women have more degrees than black men. True. White women have more degrees than white men. Asian women have more degrees than Asian men. Latina women have more degrees than Latina.
Men all in America because women are more likely to go to college. Men are more likely to go and get trade school, uh, uh, certificates. Men are more likely to become entrepreneurs and work in different realms where they don't necessarily have to go to college. So, they don't. A lot of men don't want to go into debt.
And even still, and this is not a diss to women in America, but it's just the truth. Even though women on average get higher degrees than men and get more and go are enrolled more than men, that they still don't make enough money. They still don't make more money because women tend to go into jobs that just aren't high-paying jobs. Are there women in the high-paying job field? Of course there are. We're talking about on the average. Women are more likely to go into child development and things like being a counselor and things like that. There's a lot less women in the STEM field than there are men in the STEM field. So, even whether you have a degree or doesn't have a degree, that doesn't have anything to do with your income. So, just because you have a degree doesn't mean you're doing better. You have billionaires with no college education.
And then it's so funny because we love to talk about white supremacy. We love to talk about how racist this the education system is and the economy is and the society and the government. We love to talk about how racist it is. But then we assume that education is whatever the white boy said at the school when he writes that certificate when he writes his signature on the on the on the certificate to say that you're educated. Make that make sense to me. So, everybody racist and the government is racist and society is racist and the government. All this stuff. The education system is all racist, but then the same racist people that you call out all day are the same people who can give you your education. So, you're going to say, "Now I'm educated 'cause the white boy said so." Idiot.
All right, let's keep, let's keep going. Shout out to Chris with the $5 donation. What it do? And standing on Lenny's business like a G. I'm going to have to come up and cook one of these days. Going to be epic. I appreciate you, Chris. Much love to you, fam. Shout out to Chris. You can come up anytime, bro. Um, shout out to my boy Teezy with the $5 donation. I'm dropping another five just for that, bro. Ain't dropped nothing but facts. #structure. I appreciate you, Teezy. Thank you for the $5 donation. Much love to you, Teezy. Much love. Much love. Much love.
I think that I don't even know where they put us at. I'm going to just take a guess and say we're at 57. I think so, 'cause it was about five, yeah. So, we need to stop these like delusional talking points. Let's, let's, let's please stop. It's just delusional dumb talking points that actually make no sense whatsoever.
Let's keep going. Telling people, "Hey, have you ever Googled what's the top 100 businesses in America? Do you know what role white technology is? Do you know people like, you know, Dave Stewart? Do you know people like Robert Smith? Do you know people like Cheryl McKissack?" Like there's a lot of examples of black excellence, you know, on various levels. Like there are kids that are going to trade school. Like, you know, one of the things I like to do every year, we do this thing called the Thrillion Possibility Summit where we bring in 50 students from HBCUs and we have a weekend of just, you know, networking for them, show them how to do interviews, resumes, all of that type of stuff. Those kids give me hope.
Right. >> Sometimes we, we say, "Well, just say, 'Look at all the white ends that ain't doing shit.'" Right. >> A lot of them that are. Of course. The problem is, too, one, we don't amplify that the same way we amplify mess. And two, exceptions don't disprove the rule. Exactly. >> But, but aren't we doing that now by constantly talking about what's wrong? 'Cause you started the interview off by saying like, you know, everybody always talks about problems, not talk about solutions. Don't you think if we talked more about the solutions instead of highlighting what we don't like, we would be highlighting what's actually working?
That doesn't make any sense. How can you talk about a solution without talking about the actual problem that the solution is going to come from, dumb ass? Here's the thing. Y'all have a saying, famous, you say you got to call a thing a thing. And a lot of us act like these things aren't happening because we know a couple of exceptional talented tenth Negroes. Bro, but there's more than a couple, though. Is there enough where black people are thriving in the way that we need to be thriving in this country? >> No, but we're. Bottom line. But we're. Exactly. And I'm not discounting that. >> Early for us, though. The Rights Act was just in 1964. So, we still have to address the fact that there is a wide chasm in every single field of human endeavor where they love our rhythm but hate our blues. We've got to make sure we're owning our narrative, we are owning our businesses, we are owning our health, we are owning our message. We don't control our narrative. You're an exception. Name me five more yous. Five more yous? There should be. There should be. You know what I mean when I say that. But no, there should be a Dave Anderson. There should be a 19 Keys. There should be a Earn Your Leisure. There should be a Wall Street Trapper. Like there should be other people that are doing other great things. It shouldn't just. It shouldn't be five.
Charlemagne. I'mma give y'all the the the logic that Charlemagne is giving. He's basically pushing the logic that white people say, "Well, racism doesn't exist because look at LeBron James." That's literally the logic that he used. Well, racism doesn't exist. Look at P. Diddy. 'Cause he's a billionaire, right? Racism doesn't exist. Look at Come, come on. Look at uh whoever. Look at anybody that's rich and successful. We. There's no racism because there's a rich successful black person. So, why, why, why? How does racism exist? That's the logic that he's using. It doesn't matter if there's a few black people that got out of the gutter or or maybe they didn't even come from the gutter, they just became successful. It doesn't matter. You still need to talk about the issues because the overwhelming majority of us are not going to our potential. The overwhelming majority of us are not operating correctly. In a sense of like what we could be doing. Now, that doesn't mean that the majority of us. I don't. When I say operating correctly, I don't mean that like we in jail and all that. The average black person doesn't have a criminal record. The point that I'm making is there's so much, so many like things that we could be doing better as a community that we are not. So, that doesn't mean that, well, let's just talk about the positives. That we do talk about the positive stuff. That's why these people are successful. They get the attention that they deserve, but we still need to talk about everybody else because that still needs to be issues that we're fixing. So, that doesn't make any sense. But again, I'm not surprised 'cause Charlemagne is an idiot and he's a homosexual.
Oh, there should >> And all of us shouldn't have the same plan. No, we shouldn't have. I think there's a million and one ways to to get to the top of the >> Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad. Dr. Claude Anderson. I should be. I should be able to look at all of these different examples of black excellence and say, "Hey, that's what we should be striving for." Absolutely. But the thing of it is, bro, and you know this. There's only a handful of us. And again, I go back to the own that rule. There's only a handful of us who are there. We've either scraped our way to the top or they said, "You know what? This is profitable. We're going to let you have this piece. We're going to do a partnership, lock you up for years, and we're going to make it work that way." There's a lot of gatekeeping that happens in our culture, just not by us. And to act like that's not imperative to address is is disingenuous at best. Like.
Hold on, real quick. I think this is a great comment. I think this is an excellent comment. The Breakfast Club is for non-thinkers. How can anyone listen to them on a regular basis? I agree with you 100%. E F F U 2. The Breakfast Club is for people who have a low level of intelligence, who actually like they they can't think abstractly. They can't think like past that. Like people who watch certain things on TV, people who think like, you know, somebody is a dummy when they like they still prop up Dr. Umar Johnson. Like your Dr. Umar, he the, you know, he the one. He be talking that facts. [ __ ] you don't even know the half. Like you can just hear certain people say that that he's like that that's like the same type of logic. Like people that we've all that we know aren't rocking right or people that have a completely like faulty mentality where you can debunk all of these points. You, you already know they on some BS. Like come on, man. If you sitting. If you think Charlemagne is an intellectual, oh boy. You think Jasmine Crockett is somebody that you should prop up? Yeah, you losing your mind. Unfortunately, that's the average black American, unfortunately. So, we got to talk against it. You talking about the entertainment industry? I'm not just talking about the entertainment industry. I'm talking about business. I'm talking. You made a great point about how many black women are educated, how many black women have businesses, but we don't talk about the fact that in 18 months a lot of those businesses fold. We don't talk about the fact that the largest amount of student debt in this country is held by black women. We don't talk about the fact that the support systems for black women in order to sustain those businesses is few and far between. There's a lot of things that need to happen structurally that have not happened by and large. Not saying that the exceptions aren't exceptional because they're important, but they don't disprove the rule. You know, there should be not just a Dave Anderson, but you look at somebody like B.F. and Cru who's writing a book called Killing Yesterday where he's talking about yes, addressing the past, but don't be so beholden to who you used to be that you can't grow. When we're starting to talk >> Les Browns. You have the John C. Maxwell. >> I'm not here without Les Brown. Les Brown taught me how to be a speaker. I toured with Les Brown. You know, I saw Les Brown when I was 12 years old and I I saw him in a sold-out Georgia Dome and I said, "I'm going to do that." And and I did. But that's how important examples are. My point is there's not enough examples. There could always be more. The reason people say it's lonely at the top, even though it's it's it's an old adage, it's a fact. How many people can relate to your problems, bro? Black people? No, I'm not talking about black people. I'm talking about Charlemagne problems. 1%er problems. Things that you have to go through. Every time you pick up your phone, you just wrote a book called Get Honest or Die Lying because so many people hit you with small talk and BS that you're like, "Mhm." Like I've known you 20 years. You changed your number at least six times I can think. That's not true. Changed it once. That's just not true. So, so. Changed it one time. You going to damn me now? It's the truth. I changed it one time. Okay. 20 years. What policy? Okay, okay. What? What's the belt? Oh, this? >> Yes. Casually you've been sitting here with. Oh, this is the million-dollar title. Oh, okay. >> So, a few reasons I bought this because I know y'all think it's cultural cosplay, but it's not. In April of 1989, there was a little black kid who was promised by the first million-dollar champion, Ted Dibiase, that if you bounce this ball 15 times, I'm going to give you $500 cash. Now, I don't know if you know how much $5 cash is in 1989, but to a little kid, it's a whole lot of money. He gets to 14 and Ted Dibiase and Virgil kick the ball out from under him. I'm that little boy. You that little boy. E.F.F. is that little boy. Envy is that little boy, right? This belt means a lot because a lot of people don't know that Ted Dibiase, even though he made millions of dollars for Vince McMahon, he never saw a million dollars when he was wrestling, right? The other part of that is Ted Dibiase did not ever get a shot at a mainstream title. He had a couple of tag team titles, but he never had the actual title. So, he went out and made his own. If that's not what black people do, I don't know what else. The thing that people don't understand. I I met Ted. >> Also had a butler. Yeah, he did have a butler, Virgil. God bless the. Yeah. That white man had a butler, man. That's what. >> Here's the gag. Virgil beat Ted Dibiase for that million-dollar title that didn't mean anything, right? Now, what everybody thought was a joke actually turned out for some good. Here's what I mean. Stone Cold Steve Austin has held this belt. LA Knight, who is killing everything, has held this belt. The reason I hold this belt is because I need people to understand one thing and one thing only. If you're going to make it, you're going to have to go out and make it yourself. They're not handing you the title. Then on top of that, if you know anything about Ted Dibiase's work, this man turned his life over to Christ and he goes into prisons, primarily black prisons, and starts talking about how to beat recidivism, something that we don't spend enough time doing. And that's where we connected because I go into prisons, I speak, I go into corporations, I speak, I go to colleges, I speak. And with this book, I'm hitting every bookstore. I'm having all different types of conversations. I'm supposed to hook up with your man Nick Cannon to do Cannon's Class. Because we've got to start having these conversations about how we get folks out because the system is designed to work against us. And if we don't start owning ourselves or crowning ourselves, they're not going to just hand it to us. And so, yeah, no, the title is extremely important. No, everything you're saying is true. Um, I just feel like this, we've, we've seen this before. Like Marcus Garvey, the honorable Elijah Muhammad. The do-for-self method is the do-for-self method. Like nobody is going to come save you. So, I think that you're, you're echoing. You're echoing something that has been around for a long time. Right. But here's the thing, right? Um, when I was a little kid, there was a song that said, "Ain't nothing going on but the rent." Right? When I graduated college, there was a song that said, "I don't want no scrubs." You know, a few years ago, Beyoncé said she ain't want a man who didn't work and who worked a 9-to-5. It's the same message. Does it make it any less relevant? Is, is it a situation where we can't have that conversation again to people who have never had it? I'll give you an example. I have a 26-year-old child. >> Nothing wrong with 9-to-5s. You know that. No. Oh, I'm just making sure I don't get caught. How does a man WITH HOW DOES A MAN with 300 employees [ __ ] on 9-to-5s? I've never done that. I've. For me, yes. Damn. Yeah. I'm not out here bragging and saying, "Look at me." and cosplaying as an entrepreneur. I'm busy doing work. How many other than clips, how many times do you see me out? You don't. I'm working. Right? I'm putting black people in position. And if they don't know what you have, they don't know what to attack. So, you don't see my name and face on a lot of stuff. And I had to learn that. But you know, because I, I, I look good, I put my, put my face on the book for the first. I've, I've written 23 books. It's the first time I ever put my face on it 'cause let's face it, you was going to need a wide-angle lens beforehand. Yeah, wear the glasses on the book. I see that. I see. I see 300 employees is a lot. That's most. That's more than most US companies. Yeah. No. Yeah, but you know, diversified over a few different companies. Like for example, that seasoning I just gave you, my man Chef Ked, he has a company called Hype Seasonings. I, I own a good piece of that. He's also Costa Nut's personal chef and that seasoning will change your life. Happy birthday. I was going to bring you some boiled peanuts, but I don't know how you feel about that. >> Boiled peanuts. Bro, you know you know my my people from South Carolina. I don't know if Charlemagne like anything that rhyme with nuts. Peanuts, penis, anything that's like in that realm of penis and peanut he like it. Charlamagne boy. You never had that conversation? What part? Charleston. Okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So look, you say that a seat at the table means nothing if you're still on the menu. >> Correct. Expand on that. Okay. Um, I think it's common sense. The last time I was here, it's like 2019. You don't know this, but I'm outside and this company had just hired somebody. I don't know who it was. It was somebody who did not look like us and somebody else from corporate was outside and they were looking at you guys as a fish bowl and she was like, "Yeah, it's The Breakfast Club and Charlamagne and I don't know the other people, but they're responsible for 68% of our YouTube revenue." And and she said it with a smile and that's no diss, but I thought it was more. This was 2019. I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO NEED I'M GOING TO NEED HIM TO KEEP UP. 2019. It's been 6 years. Right. >> You know what I'm saying? 6 years and 332 lbs, but at the time it was 68% according to this lady. I, I don't know where Bobby Bones or Elvis Duran was at the time. I don't care. The point of it was they're constantly talking about how many dollars, you know, you're making and we become just another footnote and my whole thing is, yes, be a performer. We always talk about somebody who got a wicked jump shot. We're always looking for the next football player to get us out the hood. We're hoping that little Jimmy when when he get an 808 and a microphone is going to take us, you know, out the hood and buy his mama a house. We don't focus on the people behind the scenes. Eddie F is the best producer alive since the best producer retired. Mhm. >> Debatable. Mhm. Bro. Damn. Which, which part? The debatable. The Eddie F part. Oh, THE EDDIE F PART. CUZ I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, WHAT YOU AIN'T GOING TO DO. FIRST OF ALL, NO, WE GOING TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. This. Okay. You know how. Do you know who Vernon Johns is? No. Okay. You know Vernon Johns is? Mhm. Vernon Johns? >> Does any black person in here without Googling it know who Vernon Johns is? Okay, so no, no, no. So Vernon Johns was the guy who came before Martin Luther King 'cause Vernon Johns was teaching group economics. Vernon Johns was talking about do for self. Vernon Johns was having fiery sessions in the pulpit because black people had become so casual about their situation, they became a casualty. And so the deacons said, "You know what? We need somebody who is a rabble-rouser, but we need somebody that we can mold and we can control." And so they got rid of Vernon Johns and he died to history. There's a TV movie with James Earl Jones starring as him, but they replaced him with a young man named Martin Luther King Jr. If he's Martin Luther King, I'm Vernon Johns. He's the. He's the second graduate of the Wendy Williams School of Technology. I'm the first. The, the thing of it is, we come from an era where you had to be great. You know, you couldn't just be a thought by who was on TV and then all of a sudden you wind up on the radio. Like that's just not how it work. I come from the era where you had to have an FCC license. You know. >> Us that every day. >> What I'm saying? You had to take a test. I want to give Petey Greene the credit though. Oh, no, Petey Greene was out there. >> Yeah, Petey Greene is the. Like Wendy definitely gave me amazing opportunities, but when Petey Greene is the person I look to and be like, that's what I want to be as a broadcaster. >> Yeah, but you know the funny thing about Petey Greene, I learned my Petey Greene lesson with a person whose name I will not mention who's been here recently. Um, the thing about Petey Greene, if you talk about Petey Greene, you got to talk about Dewey Hughes. Absolutely. >> And Dewey Hughes was a phenomenal programmer, a phenomenal producer and I learned very quickly that you can want something for somebody because you see their growth and their talent and their potential, but if they don't want it, it don't matter. >> Yeah. And and that is the thing a lot of times we, we put our dreams on people who just don't get the memo. >> He wanted. >> Man, I got so many. I just want to get to that point real quick. Man, I got so many friends that I didn't try. Not all my friends, but I got a few friends, man, like growing up and even to this day, man, I got all the potential in the world, but they just don't want to change. They just don't want to get out of that that rut. Like that's part of the reason why I left Cleveland. Like I got friends back home and they just still stuck in their way. They still stuck in that mentality and they got all the potential in the world, y'all. I'm, I'm talking about even started to do what I was telling them to do and became like low-key good and had some success at it and just stopped. I don't know, man. That's. It's crazy, man. It's, it's like a bad feeling that you get when you know that there's people that could not be in a position that they in based on them just having a little bit of work ethic and they just don't do it. They just don't operate. Is this exclusive interview? Yeah. Uh, Dave said that the Breakfast Club don't want to. They they haven't posted it and they I guess they don't want to post it. Um, facts, bro. I got three blood brothers stuck in their ways. There's nothing you can do, man, and it's bad. And I'm not even talking about mentality and what they believe. It's really just like work ethic like that don't want to get out the streets, that don't want to like do it and they see somebody doing it. You know what I'm saying? That's the craziest part. Like I'm doing a lot of the things that I didn't try to put people that's close to me on to and they just don't want to do it. They just. They just rather just not do it. It's crazy, man. Let's keep going though. I just want to speak on that real quick. to be that talent, he just didn't have it. >> He didn't have it. You know, and sometimes you got to look at. You look at somebody like um Steve Harvey's dude. Oh, I can't call his name. >> Nephew Tommy? No, no, no. No, before Nephew Tommy. He, um, he stopped doing stand-up to get behind Steve 'cause Steve was just. Rashaan? >> Rashaan. Okay. You know, Rashaan was in that same boat, but he understood. Listen, I'm going. I'm going to hitch my boat to um to Steve 'cause Steve got it. Mhm. And when you see somebody who's got it, but just can't see the big picture, you know, it's a loss, but again, if we start gearing people towards the things that actually make money, being the bean counters, being the pencil pushers, being the the the power behind the throne. You know. I was a really good personality. I was a phenomenal producer. >> I'm sorry and I'm not >> That's true, Kev. Everybody can't go. 5:15 said, "Do not hide your light under a bushel, make it plain in order to exalt the Lord." I was great. Ask Miss Jones, ask Wendy Williams, ask Ricky Smiley, ask Clue. I was great. >> That seems to be the one that was just recently here. Huh? Recently here. Come on, man. Lauren, you asking questions. That's my job. He trying to be good. He trying to be great. He is the thing, man. I'm so. In all seriousness, right? That's right, Lauren. I'm so. I'm so thankful to Ricky Smiley 'cause had he not did what he did, I wouldn't be where I am. Mhm. Period. Point blank. Sometimes the the path you avoid is the path you meet your destiny on. Mhm. You know what I'm saying? All I wanted. This man will tell you if anybody was in love with the business of radio, it was me. Mhm. This man called me the day I decided to retire. He called me because they fired Shamara. Shout out to Shamara. Who's Shamara? >> Yeah, who's married a great market in South Carolina. Yet again, talent. Absolutely. 803 loves him. 803 loves him. >> Listen, 803 loves her. She's at the Big DM. Phenomenal, but she should be here. Mhm. Phenomenal talent. He calls me, says, "Yo, bro, if they don't give you that midday job they had." I said, "Bro, they fired me 10 minutes after they fired Shamara." Damn. What you do? No, it wasn't Shamara. It was uh. It was Shamara. It wasn't Shamara. It was Pooh. Was it? No, Pooh got fired a year before him. >> Okay, okay, okay, okay. >> Yeah, no. This is the. This is the highest it goes. It's not me. It's just the the sound when they recorded this. It is kind of low. The sound like as they recorded it is just picking up low. It's not me. Everything is turned up to the max on OBS, on the actual video and my desktop sound is at the highest it can go. So it's it's just the sound that already comes from this actual video is just low, y'all. So. So I'm trying to be as quiet as possible while we watching it. He did. Uh, what did I do? Mhm. Okay. Full disclosure. I can say this now. I'm retired. I'm good. I'm a horrible employee. Just hilarious. And yeah, this is raw footage. This is not edited or anything. This is raw footage from Dave's from from I guess Dave has like a somebody who records everything that he do or whatever. So this is footage from from like his own stuff. So. Here's what I mean by that 'cause Lauren's like, "What the hell? Where he's? Where's he going?" >> I think I know where he going. Go ahead. Mhm. I'm ushering Frank Sinatra. I want to do it my way because my way is right. Me and Tony Mole were just having this conversation in in the green room. I know what I'm talking about. The problem that I didn't understand at 28, the problem I didn't understand at 29 is what I understand clearly because now I have the ball. It's my ball. It's my game. I'm going to do it the way I want to do it and you're going to follow along with that. If I'm wrong, it's on me. When you're playing in somebody else's arena, it's their ball. If they want to drive their bus off the cliff, that's their business. I can't let you do that. I'm going TO BE LIKE, "NO! STOP DRIVING THE BUS OFF THE CLIFF." NO. Horrible employee because I can see things that you can't see and I'm going to tell you when you're naked even though everybody around here is wearing clothes. I'll give you an example. One time I'm in a meeting. It was called a POPS meeting, right? Which is promotions, operations, programming, and sales for the lay people. And we'd all get together and one of these people who was says >> White. Thank you. Uh it says, "We're We're going to have. This is March, so we're looking at March Madness." And they said, "What we're going to do is we're going to have ass brackets." And I said, "Excuse me?" Now keep in mind, there were beautiful black women in the room. There were black men in the room, but nobody said anything. And I said, "You're going to do what?" 'Cause I could. I wanted to make sure I heard what this man said. He said, "No, we're going to do ass brackets. What we're going to do is going to have women sending pictures of their asses and we're going to have it on the website and we're going to vote for it." And. And I said, "Wait, what?" I said, "Our Our main demographic is 18-34 black women and if you look at our P1 listeners, most of them are single moms. So, you want to turn them as if they don't have enough going on, you want to objectify them? Like that's that's where we're going?" And he was like, "Well, it's not objectification 'cause we can make a lot of money." I said, "Not on my watch." Well, well, Taz, do you have a better idea? They call me Taz. So, well, Taz, you have a better idea? Yes, I do. So, what we're going to do is we're going to have a sexy single moms contest. We're not going to focus on ass, we're going to focus on assets. What we're going to do is have their kids or someone nominate them and then you, you're going to go talk to that that spa, you're going to go talk to that jewelry store, you're going to go talk to that vacation place and we're going to make 300,000 off of this promotion and then some. And they did it and I was never invited back to a POPS meeting. So, I would do things like that. They did it. They did what you. They took that idea, right? And then you weren't in any of the other. No, no, no, no. 'Cause I'm a problem. I'm a rabble-rouser. I'm I'm difficult to work with. I was never late. I, I never missed a job. Listen, Eddie F's mother died and I produced Jonesy. While he had to deal with the most tragic event of his life at that time. I was a team guy. I was a company guy. I'm not here to be liked. I'm here to make sure that we're doing right by our people and a lot of people ain't willing to take that stance. A lot of people would rather tap dance and buck dance and step and fetch and ain't no job worth that to me. I'm not going to sit sit there and let you objectify, you know what I'm saying, our women that way. That doesn't mean I'm a saint, that doesn't mean I'm a perfect person, but going to let you do it for profit and think that's cool and then have a snide remark like, "Well, do you have a better right?" Yeah, I do. I always do. 'Cause that's what I expect you to say when I when I push back on what you think is acceptable because guess what? They never did it with the rock station. They didn't do it with the pop station. Who do you know they ain't got no ass? That's a fair point. If this book, The Real Black Agenda, The Real Black Agenda starts a movement, what's the first action step you want people to take after reading it? I want them to have honest conversations with their family and friends. Right? We have to normalize having conversations around money. We have to normalize having conversations around credit. There's a young man I coach in Calio Young and he talks about all of these different strategies, stuff I can't even, you know, think of 'cause that's his lane. You know, I'm not I'm not a jack of all trades. I'm the ace of trades, but I know where my line is. We got to start normalizing that. And with that, that also comes the fact that I don't look at my children as children. I look at my children as what they actually are. They're heirs to my legacy. Do we have wills? Do we have estate planning? Can we normalize trusts in the black community? Can we normalize nepotism 'cause we act like nepotism is a problem. It ain't a problem when the Trumps do it. It ain't a problem when the Kardashians do it. It ain't a problem when the Kennedys did it. You take a bootlegging dynasty and turn it into a political one. I ain't got a problem with that. But let me tell you something, if it wasn't for Daymond John's mom, we wouldn't have food, wouldn't have that man wouldn't be on Shark Tank every single week. If it wasn't for my mom, I would not have this business 'cause my mom was like, "Here's the house. Don't worry about nothing. You go out here and go get it." Yeah. Like I, I'm not here without my family. The power in black revolution starts with the most revolutionary act you can have and that is having strong families who understand their purpose. Do you have your digital rights sent and set up so that when you are going, they can still use your voice, use your teachings, use your writings and make money off of it like how the Carnegies do. You know, like that's the step. We've got to protect legacy by making sure we're planning. And by the way, insurance costs a whole costs a whole lot less than some red bottoms. It costs a whole lot less than a gold chain. It costs a whole lot less than that Lambo you've been eyeing 'cause you want to look good on the gram. We've got to start circling our wagons around ourselves. Like that's extremely important. That's the first step. Tell them where to get the book, Dave. All right. So, you can go >> You Dave, by the way. You know that's your name. I was. No, I was. I'm going to tell you something. I WAS AT THE BOTHAM Jean gala with Banner, right? And he's taking pictures. He's like, "Yo, T. T, get in the picture." And I'm LIKE DON'T NOBODY CALL ME TAZ NO MORE. IT'S JUST LIKE A handful of people from from radio and like really close friends, but everybody calls me Dave. You can get the book at the realblackagenda.com. You can get the book right now at the businessbully.com/breakfastclub. There's a lot of really cool stuff I got going on there. A lot of businesses I want you to understand. I'm also building a a site and an app called Black Wall Street Revisited because we've got to have an actual functioning directory. Yeah. >> Right? We're spending all of this time fighting for DEI when only 4% of those jobs go to us anyway. But we out here grandstanding and willing out Jesse Jackson. Yes, I'm talking about you, Jamal Bryant. I said what I said, sir. That does not make any. Did I lie? Oh, my goodness. >> Okay. So, we got to stop with these Julia Hare said the problem with. I'm glad he spoke on the whole DEI thing. Too many people are very missing very much misinformed. I had a convo with my mother, uh, not too long ago about the DEI thing and I, like most, unfortunately, like most black people, you know, uh, they are in an intimate relationship with the Democratic Party, but I don't think people do research on things. People think DEI stuff like DEI and affirmative action is for us and it's not. White women benefited more than anybody of DEI and affirmative action because they are technically a minority. Um, and DEI doesn't exclusively help black Americans, which it should because we are the people who were historically not allowed to get these things. DEI also helps Latinos and we know I dropped a video not too long ago where a lot of these uh Latin Americans and Latinos in general, they were able to get stuff in the early 1900s and there weren't that many of them over here, but like even in even after 1965, uh, when a lot of immigrants did come over here, they never had any blockage of like them able to get housing and able to get loans and able to go into certain schools. They were actually able to classify as white. They still do that to this day. Um, when they come to America, they classify as white on paper. Uh, yeah, it helps white women mostly. And but a lot of these Latinos, they're they're they're able to classify as white on paper. So, they are able to get all of the things that black Americans were not allowed to get historically, but DEI helps them. Why would it help them when they've always been able to get these things? Like why would it help them? DEI also helps Asians. Tell me what thing that Asians were blocked out of in America. I'm curious. You know these people got. They got reparations. Do you know that the Japanese, the Japanese people for these internment camps got got reparations? They got what was it like $70,000 per person in a family? Like they give reparations and they give back money to everybody else, but, but, and they make it exclusively to their lineage. They always do it that way. They make it exclusively to their lineage. Do you know with the ICE stuff out there in LA, what's that mayor out there? Karen Bass. Do you know that she was giving money to people who got scared because their family could quite possibly could have been arrested by ICE? Or people who are falsely arrested by ICE, she was giving these people taxpayer money in LA. But forget all the black people who get false, falsely accused and falsely arrested and all of that, we got to go fill out a lawsuit and take them to court to try to get our money, but they'll Karen Bass, who is a Latina woman, right? She'll give the money to the Mexicans and the Latinos just because. But everything we got to do, we got to fight for and make it make it be, you know, heard and make it be known. But anything that does have to like connect with us, everybody else gets a piece of it. They always put it under the minority word or the black and brown word or some type of like LGBTQIA+. They always got to attach that with our stuff. But everybody else gets specific stuff. You can miss me with that. So, I'm glad he brought up the DEI stuff. Shout out to, uh, damn, I don't know why this thing every time I scroll up it's not coming up. There we go. Shout out to Alonzo with the $5. He says, "Dave is right. Financial literacy is a must. I was in the car business for 30 years. I learned that bad credit is a way of life. Hard to try hard to tell mine." Yeah, that's true. And they need to start at like young age. Karen Bass is a tether. She isn't Latina. She's married. She married a Latino. No, she is Latina. I don't know if you saw. I, I dropped a video of it. She made a video. Um, she made a video. Her grandfather is a. I think her grandfather is Colombian or Venezuelan. So, yeah, her like on one side of her family is a Latina, which you could still be a black American, but the problem is she puts that over her black American lineage. She puts that over everything else. Yeah, her dad or is it her dad or her grandfather? But yeah, she comes from a Latina background, which is fine. You can still be that and be a black American. The problem is a lot of these people with mixed lineages, they always put that other side above everything else. Uh, from downtown 2296. Appreciate you for the becoming a member, man. I appreciate you for becoming a member. Shout out to from downtown. Let's keep going. Um, and Asians are the highest degree holders in America and they hold the most degrees, too. They get access to everything. I mean, after that school shoot. I'm not school shoot. After that shooting that happened in Buffalo with that white supremacist, two days later, Joe Biden is in the White House signing a bill for the Asian hate crime bill with a K-pop group. Whatever that successful K-pop group is. Two days later after the shooting in Buffalo where he deliberately wanted to talk. He did. That shooter deliberately targeted black people and specifically our elders, right? Went. They were there. Didn't they kill like 11 or 12 people in the in the in the um, in the Tops in Buffalo, New York? Two days later, Joe Biden is with the Asians for the Asian hate crime bill. Huh? Over some videos of some, which likely are fake. Even if they are real, it's probably not black Americans. Asians been around black Americans since the 1960s. They run businesses in our communities. So, if they were just getting targeted, why they ain't getting not getting? How all of a sudden? Notice how it stopped, right? Notice how it was just this. Oops, it it was just this surge of all these so-called all these Asians getting beat up in these videos where they just getting robbed and getting done dirty in New York and then now the videos don't happen no more. And it went on for like a year. Asian hate crime bill, boom, gone. Now you don't see videos of more Asians somehow in some in some type of surge. And you didn't see none of this stuff in the past. Where do you see? If anything that we, we go up in these Asian stores and they treat us like trash. Hurry up and buy it. That ain't just come out of nowhere. That came from the way that these Asians treat us in our communities and we patronize at their businesses. We patronize at they when they own these nail companies and stuff. But look at how they treat us. They cool with us when we in there, yeah, because they trying to get your damn money. They want you to come bring your black ass back. They don't give a damn about you. So, you buy your gold. Right. It'd be them Koreans and all of that. These people own these. They own the laundry mats. They treat us like trash in our communities. But we always patronize with them. They've always been around us. We don't. It ain't no up surge of that. And a lot of that was either fake or real or was probably some Africans and Caribbeans doing that and it was some immigrants. But even if it was. It's like they dealt with that in the media for a year and they got a Asian hate crime bill within a year. We've been dealing with things in America for in this entire for for this this entirety of this country has been established. There's no anti. There's no anti-black American crime bill. But we've been the most disparaged out of any group in America. But people still want to keep supporting these outside entities. Shout out to from downtown and I appreciate you for the $20 donation. Salute King. Keep grinding, young king. I got you, fam. I appreciate the love and the support, man. Um, let me see how many people we got in here, y'all. How many people we got in the chat? Let me see. We got uh that's 696. Hold on real quick. 695 people in here and we only got five. Oh, no, we got 520. Excuse me. 526 likes. We have 696 95 people in the chat and we have 526 likes. Can we get these likes up to um 600? Closer to 690? Let's get these likes up, man. While y'all here, man, donate to the live, man. We got over 600 people in here and we only got 77 don. Uh $77 on the donations. Which is kind of low 'cause it'd be like sometimes it'd be 80 people in here and y'all be going crazy. So, especially too, I want to get on this dating show once we done with this. So, if y'all want me to stay on here, man, keep giving y'all this content, please donate to the live. And we got a lot of people in here for us to only be at $77 for the for the for the day as far as donations. And also, y'all can donate off the app as well. You know, Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, all of that stuff, too. Um, shout out to Teezy with the $5 donation. Shout out to Latasha Harlins. If you know, you know that Hurry up and buy it made me think about her. I'm not sure who that is. I don't think I've ever heard of that. Thank you for the $5 though, Teezy. I appreciate you. But yeah, don't donate to the live, man, while y'all here. We got a lot of people in here, man. It's almost 700 people in here. I'm not buying black Americans are doing bad. I know.
Too many of us are doing swell. I mean, there are a lot of black Americans that are not doing well. To say that doesn't mean that the other side doesn't exist. Two things can exist at one time. There are a lot of black Americans that are successful, but there's a lot of black Americans that are either not going to their potential or a lot of black Americans that are not doing well. And a lot of that's because of the community that we grow up in and society and the way it's set up. So, we got to talk about these things.
But a lot of it also has to come down to us being accountable and stop trying to rely on these people that we claim are so evil and claim that they're the devils on earth and racist, but then we expect them to save us. That's not going to happen. We need to do for self. You know, they, I remember Roland Martin was having a conversation. I forgot the dude's name. Some of y'all probably know that debate that Roland Martin had with that younger dude. It was like, it was some years ago. It wasn't too, too long ago. It was maybe like five years ago, something like that. And he was talking about knowledge of self and doing for self. And Roland Martin was like, "No, let's rely on the government." But then Roland Martin is the same one that says the government is also racist and they hate us, but then you want to rely on the same people that you claim oppress you to save you out of your poverty, save you out of this strict sunken place. I just noticed that. King Randall, I think that's his name. Yeah, King Randall. That might be his name. But yeah, it's like, it's it's goofy stuff, man. Let's keep going though. Oh, that I seen that, Teezy. Yeah, I know that situation that happened. And the owner ended up not going to jail. She had shot the little girl and the owner didn't even go to jail. I remember that. Roland Martin, lots of underperforming and many doing well. We just want the ones with potential to utilize the resources there. Exactly. Let's keep going.
With black leaders, ain't black leaders. It's leading blacks. We got to start >> Street Nasty Entertainment with the $15. B1 certified. Salute. Man, shout out to Street Nasty Entertainment with the $15 donor. I appreciate you, fam. Thank you for the $15 donor. Much love to you, fam. Appreciate you, Street. And likewise to you, B1. Right? If Target got a problem, let's >> That's the highest it goes, William. I can't bring it up no higher than that. That's the highest it goes. I'm trying to, if I could bring it up higher, I would. That the volume is on max, y'all. I can't bring it up no higher, unfortunately. This is raw footage. It's not edited. The sound isn't turned up. This is pure raw footage that I got from Dave. So, I can't bring it up no higher than that, unfortunately. All of this time fighting for DEI when only 4% of those jobs go to us anyway. But we out here grandstanding and wheeling out Jesse Jackson. Yes, I'm talking about you, Jamaal Bowman. I said what I said, sir. Um, that does not make any Did I lie? Oh my lord. Okay. So, we got to stop with these. Julia Hare said, "The problem with black leaders ain't black leaders. It's leading blacks. We got to start calling these folks to account." Right? If Target got a problem, let's fix the problem. But you're not looking at all those chargebacks you just created for all those black businesses that don't get store shelves on Costco, that don't have 30% of their board look like us like Target does, doesn't, you know, decimate businesses like Tabitha Brown or Sienna Sauce or all of these businesses. Costco has about two black businesses in there and nobody in here can name them without Googling them. That's a problem. So, you got multi-millionaires telling you, "Boycott this, but let's go over here." Al Sharpton is making money. We ain't. I'm tired of leading blacks sitting up here riding off the backs of civil rights icons and saying that it's okay. Now, that doesn't mean I want to be a black leader, 'cause that's not my lane. I'm a speaker. I'm a business coach. I'm an entrepreneur. But what we ain't going to do is act like this is anything but what it is, which is I want a spot on CNN. I want to put myself in position 'cause I want to look good on the camera while I'm staring at Cam Newton and talking about how pretty his legs are. Oh my lord. Who did that? Jamaal Bowman. I said it again. No, no. He didn't just say that. That's hilarious. He said, "You got some pretty legs. I mean, you just don't skip leg day. I mean, it looks like those things are just laminated. I bet if we turned off the lights, they'd glow in the dark." Damn. That's what he said. If I'm lying, I'm flying. You got that from the stenographer that was in there? Oh, you don't know me. I'm Niggapedia. True doctrine, thank you for the $2 donation. Thanks to our black kings and queens fighting for us. I appreciate you, true doctrine. I got a near photographic memory. So, yeah, no. That that's that's that's that's what he said, man. And then we got to stop advocating for every Phillip, thank you for the $10 donation. Much love to you, Phillip, on Cash App. I appreciate you, LG. body before us. I think that you should have a legal path to citizenship. I think that's important. But when it comes to us, when it comes to things like reparations, we got to have studies and whatnot. Did they study when they put those illegal immigrants in hotels? Did they study when they put those illegal immigrants in healthcare programs, training programs, gave them food stamps? Did, did, did, did, did they study anything that >> That's why it wasn't matter what Governor Wes Moore said. Governor Wes Moore said, "We've already had civil studies." He was like, "Why do we keep needing to do studies? Let's figure out how to actually do it?" Because it kicks the ball down the field. They don't want solutions because here's the thing. There's so much money tied up in black trauma, in black death, in black disrespect. And don't even get me started on the whole abortion thing, which I also talk about in the book. Again, a woman's right to choose is a woman's right to choose, but I also think it's important to talk about a woman's right to be educated about all of that. Because if you have these situations and you look at what happens with, um, what they do with what is now called medical waste. You know, like they extract the melanin, they take the stem cells, they sell it off, and they make billions of dollars in profit. All tied to a eugenics plan that has been going on for, you know, better part of a hundred years. We're not going to have this game because if we're going to talk about a black woman's healthcare, why aren't we talking about the tie between relaxers and fibroids? Why aren't we talking about the fact that, oh, well, you know, it's a poor problem, David. It's not just. No, no, no. Because last I checked, Serena Williams was rich. Beyoncé is [ __ ] rich and both of them had problems. Because unfortunately, when we talk about these things, you get told that you hate women. From men and women, not just women. You get told that you hate women. And it's so crazy. Like I speak about this a lot. I speak about like how, I mean, it was it was an hour video that I dropped when doing a reaction and talking about, you know, like black women embracing their hair, their natural hair, and and and of course, we understand the history where a lot of women, you know, had to have certain hairstyles to be accepted into, you know, certain society. But I think it's the, I think one thing about black Americans specifically is that we are not a, we are not an assimilating group of people. We are a people that stand on our own and stand on our business. And it shouldn't be a thing where we are shaming anybody that's black that wants us to be naturally us. If we were not colonized, a lot of things that we do, we would not do. So, I think that's why, you know, a lot of this stuff that they put. I don't know if y'all seen the movie "They Cloned Tyrone." I think it's an excellent movie. And although I don't think it's happening to that extent, if you watch the movie, you can see that it was certain things that they were like pointing out that was causing the people in this community to go crazy. It was in the chicken. It was in the hair care products. It was in the food. It was in everything. It was in the air. It was literally in the air. It was an excellent movie. And I don't think people believe that. People don't think think that that's a possibility. Great symbolism in the movie, exactly. Honestly, it's going to, if you ever watch that movie, it's going to make you hate white people. Really, it's going to make you, it's like after you watch Django, you, it's like you, it's going to make you hate white people. But literally, like "They Cloned Tyrone" was an excellent movie, but when you talk about these things, there's so much pushback from people who should be taking it in and and and speaking about it in the in the in the like, okay. And now I do think there are people who talk about it and it's coming from a more of a condescending and a way of disrespect. I don't speak about it from a way of disrespect. I speak about it, I speak about it from a way of a like, it's something that should be changed because I'm thinking about their greater good. It's not from a like, "Man, man, black women this, black women that." No. You need to embrace your natural hair. You need to embrace your natural beauty. Just is what it is. I wish my wife will sport her natural cut and lose those $300 plus wigs in public. She's natural at home though. Yeah, that I don't know. I'm not with it. I say that. I'm not with it at all. I'm not with it at all. Yeah, go watch "They Cloned Tyrone." "They Cloned Tyrone" is an excellent movie. Shout out to 919 with the $5 donation. He says, "919, Mr. Bass, keep doing what you're doing, bro. I appreciate you, 919. Much love to you. Appreciate you for the donation, fam." I appreciate that. I'm definitely going to check that movie out. Yeah, it's on Netflix. Anybody want to watch it, y'all, it's on Netflix. It's an excellent movie, y'all. It's a great movie. Let's keep going. You know, there's very few people who have gone through that type >> Hold on real quick. And I must disagree with you on one thing. These black women is never getting rid of that wig or lashes because that's their worth, so they think. Well, I think that's the problem because it's not it's not it. I think so. So, I don't disagree with you that some of them think that's their worth, but I think the problem is we need to have the conversations and stop being scared of the pushback. I think the thing that makes me different from a lot of people is a lot of people agree with what I say, but they're scared of the pushback that's going to come with it. Because if you talk about black women's hair, even if you're not being disrespectful, even if you're coming from a place of of of like grace, you're going to get pushback no matter what because women are just naturally emotional and they'll come from the space of like, "Well, why you in why you in our business?" But it's very funny because it's like, how do you expect protection without correction? How am I supposed to protect you? How am I supposed to be there for you? And that includes all black women, not just the black women I think are attractive, not just light-skinned black women because they're got a lot of that. And you, you only talking about the light-skinned women because that's what you're attracted to. You hear that that that rhetoric too. But I cannot protect you if I cannot correct you. And correction doesn't mean, "Bitch, F you." That That's not what correction means. Correction can simply mean that there are things that I can, I see potential in you and there are things that you can do better. So, here it is. But you can't expect me to also not be able to say nothing about you that you do that could be better when it comes to your weight, when it comes to your attitude, when it comes to your behavior, how you dress, how you talk, how you walk, when it comes to your hair, all of these things. But then I'm supposed to protect you if I see some man outside in public doing you wrong. I have to put my life on the line and die for you, but I can't tell you anything about yourself. That is delusional. And then, the men who are majority of the problem in my opinion, we don't have any male leaders because most of y'all would rather lie so you can get sex. Most of y'all would rather say whatever you want other people to hear so you can just get acceptance. And that is also a problem. We got a lot of weak males in the community. They don't even, don't even hold each other accountable. I speak all the time about the homosexuality in a lot of black men. I speak a lot about all the gang violence and sagging the pants and y'all dudes be weak. You dudes be soft. I talk about it all the time. We're We're emotionally invested in our hair and that's a problem. It's a problem. And again, I understand the history behind it. So, I'm not speaking of a from a place of like ignorance because I understand why, but we have to unlearn things. Just because it's indoctrinated and accepted doesn't mean that it should just be continued to be pushed. So, we got to talk about it. Let's keep going.
type of procedure and I'm not judging who have not had reproductive problems later on. We got to talk about all of it. If we care about health so much, then why aren't we addressing the inequities when it comes to our healthcare, all of our healthcare? Because, you know, just getting rid of a problem when you only have that one choice. Where are the doulas? Where are the healthcare, healthcare culturally >> See, there is a lot of, there's generational leaders too. Like Latham Thomas. Like I, and I've used a doula the last two uh pregnancies. Like she is somebody that's doing the work from here to Capitol Hill. So, I mean That's what I'm saying. That's what I mean when I say We don't want to make these broad generalizations like >> generalization if everybody was doing it broadly. Erykah Badu is a doula. Yeah, I know she, I know. She she birthed my goddaughter who is now doing ninth and 10th grade concurrently. She swims. She plays piano. And she speaks like three language, three languages fluently. You know, Erykah Badu is magical. >> And and and you know that there's multiple hair companies being sued for fibroids, the ovaries, cancer. So, I'm saying like these things are happening. >> But not happening at the level of the problem. It's, it's, I don't know. Erykah Badu is a doula. That's what's up. This is a bottle of water. This can quench everybody's thirst in here. No, it can't, but there is a bottle of water that you can quench your thirst with. I'm not going to act like the bottle of water does not exist. I'm saying we need a few coolers in this bad boy in order to make sure that everybody's properly hydrated. >> Yes, but we have to, we have to point out the coolers that exist. >> Absolutely. And I'm here to say that they exist. >> I think Midwife Assata is another one. I mean, I'm I'm cool with that. And I'm guilty of that too. I think that we all, like sometimes we make, we talk about controlling our own narrative. >> Certainly. We don't want to put the narrative out there like none of this stuff is happening or nobody knows what's going on. Every >> Nobody's saying that though. He's saying that. No, every black person is not lost. >> Charlamagne, this again, this is another example of somebody that's giving an emotional argument. Nobody said all black people are anything. We are saying that there is a percentage of black people that are something and we need to talk about it so that can be fixed. So, just because you're trying to run away from it or you don't want to talk about it, that doesn't mean that you should now twist the narrative and try to say like this happens a lot. Like people have a issue with like probability versus possibility. I talk about it all the time on my lives, man, when I'm doing my dating show specifically. What is Charlamagne talking about? Excuse me. I have no idea, EF. So, they're making straw men or he, he's just twisting the words. He twisting words. Nobody said an absolute. A lot of people, you could tell somebody has a low level of intelligence when they, when they don't understand probability versus possibility. So, if I say that there's a, there's it's probably not the best for you to, um, I don't know. Try to go to the NBA at 40 years old. It's probably, if you're trying to make it to the NBA at 40, you're probably not going to make it. So, you're saying I can't make it to the NBA at 40? So, you're trying to say that there ain't nobody in the NBA that's that 40 that's in the LeBron 40 and he's still in the league. I never said that you can't. I never said that there is nobody that's doing it. What I'm saying is it's probably not the best move because it's a lot more likely for you to fail. So, maybe there's other things that you can do that can get you to that point. That's not to say that you shouldn't try, but it is to say you should be a little more realistic based on what your, your circumstances are. If you're 5'2" trying to make it into be a NBA center, it's probably not going to happen. Why? Because you're 5'2". So, you probably don't want to go down that path. It's not to to to to to dim your light, but it is to give you a more logical perspective. But it's not an absolute argument. So, you, you know somebody is is not that intelligent when they just keep twisting words and they keep trying to argue absolute points when absolute points were not made. If you got in at 40, you probably got three good years. Ain't nobody made it to NBA at 40. That's the point. Like nobody's made it to the NBA at 40. So, I don't even know who's the oldest rookie in the NBA, but it's definitely not at 40. Uh, let's keep going. Every black person is not poor. Every black person does not live in the hood, but too many do. Right. >> Yeah. And I'm not going to act like that's not important. And I will, I will scream this to the top of my lungs until I can't scream no more. Even I'm not going to scream no more 'cause I just saw DL Hughley screaming on TMZ. It wasn't a good look. That's why he was >> I, yeah, I didn't like that either. screaming. Like we got to stop screaming at each other. Well, he, he was screaming at a white person, but even still, I was just like, I mean, I, I was talking with the, literally talking about that behind the scenes. I'm like, "Yo, why is DL screaming at this dude on the Zoom?" He's trying to make sure he keeps his paycheck. Another thing we got to stop doing is stop looking at black celebrities to talk about your political issues and speak for you. DL Hughley don't speak for me. Charlamagne don't speak for me. Steve Harvey don't speak for me. Ice Cube don't speak for me. I don't give a damn if I agree with them or not. Don't none of these people speak for me. So, y'all need to stop looking at like athletes and rappers and and and like media personalities and people on reality TV shows. Like, why is Megan the, this is how like crazy that, this is insane. This is how these the government thinks about us. This is how the government feels about us. Do y'all remember when Kamala Harris was doing her rallies around the country? She had Meg the Stallion there. She had Cardi B there. She was, didn't Amigos perform or something? Meg the Stallion on top of stage twerking. That's who you think should be standing on a podium talking for us? You couldn't have brought, even if you disagree with them. Even if you disagree with, I'm not saying that you should agree with these people. You couldn't have brought Rizza Islam up there? You couldn't have brought 19 Keys up there? GloRilla, exactly. You couldn't have brought anybody with intellectual property up there, but they think of your black ass so low that yeah, let's get the person that's twerking to go up there and pay her $11 million. They got Beyonce. Who, who was Beyonce? That's no diss to Beyonce. She's a, she's an amazing musician. She's, she's up there in the likeness of Michael Jackson. She's up there with the top musicians of all time. Why is she speaking for us politically though? Why is she there? For what reason? They brought Nicki Minaj to the UN to speak for black people to to get us to, and we so dumb as a collective, not all of us, but as a collective that we'll, "Oh, well, Meg the Stallion said it. So, we're going to go do." Well, Lil Wayne there. I don't even know if Lil Wayne was there. Who gives a, who cares about Lil Wayne? Who was Lil Wayne? Lil Wayne is my favorite rapper of all time, by the way. I don't want to hear nothing from Lil Wayne when it comes to politics. Shut up. You a rapper. I don't want to hear nothing from LeBron. I don't want to hear nothing from none of these people. Who are they? They don't speak for me. They don't speak for my community. Oh, it's, they're millionaires. They're getting their money and getting a check to do that and they're taking their black ass back home to go do whatever they doing. But that's who they use for us as our, because unfortunately, we give them attention. I was speaking about this on the on the on a platform with with Black Alpha when when Dave Anderson came on live. We was talking about the poor righteous teachers. Why do we feel like, why are our athletes and our rappers and our celebrities can be successful when it comes to that, which is nothing wrong with that, entertain. There's nothing wrong with them being successful, but why can't the people who actually speak up on black issues be successful and rich? Why can't they fly on private jets? Why can't they sit courtside? Why? They supposed to be behind under, they supposed to be under the bridge shaking a cup because they talking about black issues. They have to be poor. You see a lot of times with that. You see like these pocket watching ass [ __ ] watching other people who like speak on black issues. Man, this [ __ ] Lil Wayne a Lamborghini. Why he taking first class? This [ __ ] got a driver. So? Lil Wayne got a driver? What's, what's more important for our community? Lil Wayne making the next album or somebody speaking up about black men and women getting married and having, you know, heterosexual relationships and building a nuclear black family black that was taken away from us in the 1970s. What's more important? So, the [ __ ] that's talking about nothing, the [ __ ] the person that's rapping about killing other black people and negativity, he can be the millionaire and the billionaire and fly private jets and do all this extra stuff, but the people that's talking about positivity, we can't do nothing to them. They got to be the poor righteous teacher. They got to have badder clothes and a dirty face and they can't keep their hygiene together because they're poor. What do we like, why does that have to be the norm for us? Why do we feel like that has to be like what it is? That don't have to be what it is. Like it, I don't know, man. It's crazy to me. The Pan-Africanists be mad as hell that Tariq got a car. Tariq living in a, in a, in a, in a very, very prominent community. He a millionaire. He should be a millionaire. He didn't do more for us than damn LeBron James. And I like LeBron. I'm a LeBron fan. I don't give a damn about LeBron. You know what I'm saying? We have this mentality where like the, the people that have done stuff for black people have to be poor. They have to be at the bottom. And I think that's historically that way because like some of the things that we've not had access to historically. So, when we look in history, we look at people like, um, Martin Luther King or Malcolm X or whoever that you want to look up to, they weren't millionaires and billionaires, but we don't, we're not in that time. They put in the work for us to not be that way no more. So, get that out of your mind frame. You looking at your people that's less than that they have to be at the bottom to talk about getting to the top. That's stupid. If anything, they should be an example while speaking about it to say you can get here, too, by fixing certain issues you talking about. Anyway, Tariq was a best-selling author before all that. If anything, he sacrificed to put on for the community. Good point. Malcolm said our celebrities shouldn't speak on serious political issues. I think that was Malcolm. I don't know. Might have been Malcolm, but I agree. Like, what, why I don't Ice Cube don't have to speak for me, man. He don't speak for me. I don't give a damn what political agenda they decide they on. Shut up. I don't want to hear you talking. You don't speak for me, my [ __ ]. I'm sorry. Because there's other people who didn't put in the work to be that place. That's the point that I'm making. I ain't say all that. Like your already paycheck coming on. Uh, good question. But why are you so upset, you're a one-percenter, partner? Like my whole thing is, like, 'cause he cares about other people though. Okay, so then put your money where your mouth is instead of your mouth always on my television screen screaming at people. Like screaming at somebody ain't going to get nothing done. Mhm. What works is showing them a different way. Listen, I got a 10-year-old that bounces off the wall, got a near photographic memory like her daddy, and can't sit still to save her behind. Screaming at her don't work. It, it, it doesn't work. You know what does work? Dave, listen, if we can just back this off a little bit. Let me show you three things you can do right now that's going to make sense. Well, Daddy, I want to do this and I want to do that. Okay, cool. There's this kid named Ryan that's making $30 million a year reviewing toys on YouTube. Oh, damn. I want to do that, Daddy. I ain't got to raise my voice. My voice is loud enough because the message is clear. When you have to yell, it's because you don't have a strong enough point or you're not educated enough to give the point some, some credence. So, we got to talk to each other. We got to talk to each other. Must I say it again? >> that $3 million, she going to be yelling at your ass. I would too. No, she's going, Daddy, what happened, Daddy? Well, don't worry. When, when Daddy dies, she's a millionaire anyway. She slices it up. Well, go pick up the real black agenda, Dave Anderson, man. Thank you for coming, sir. Man, thank you for having me. Thank you for. Tell them to follow you and all that. Yeah, follow me at the business bully. And again, you can go to the businessbully.com. >> watched the whole thing that quick? Damn. You know, let's make some things happen. I cannot wait to sit down with anybody who wants to have the conversation. I can't wait to sit down with Nick 'cause that's going to be exciting for me. And then aside from that, man, if you got a black bookstore, I'm, I got no problem waving my speaking fee. I just want to come in and sit down and have a conversation. And then I'm looking for a literary agent, Mr. I got a publishing company. >> They ain't trying to get him off quick. If this was 69, they would have him up there for 4 hours. Honey? Mhm. Talking about some stupid stuff. >> what I'm saying? This is what happens when you're when you're dear friends with Teemu Arp Chestnut. You see how you treat me? You know what I mean? Oh. All right, well, y'all go get the Dave Anderson's book, man. I think he made a lot of good points. I wish the conversation was a little bit more, um, longer. And I wish the conversation was a lot more deeper because I really wanted them to get into a back-and-forth about certain things. I wish he would have spoke about delineation for sure. He spoke about reparations, but he should have spoke about how even reparations is delineate, is is going to be delineated as well. Um, because it's going to be based off of a lineage, not because of your race. Like, we need to, I wish they would have had that conversation, but, um, I think it was a good conversation overall.
