Breakfast Club morning everybody is dej envy Angela Yee Charlemagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club we got a special guest in the building if indeed Byron Allen good morning sir good morning good morning first of all thank you for having me I really appreciate no no no I'm big fan I'm a big fan you do amazing work and I really appreciate you so much so it's it's an honor to be here who is Byron Allen for people who may not be familiar who is Byron asked a great question I'm trying to figure that out myself you know what I'm really blessed hmm in so many ways your celebrity net worth to let people know exactly how you know what that those blessings when you know III think about how Great America is when I think about just my simple story my mother got pregnant with me when she was 16 years old Wow and she had me seventeen days after her 17th birthday Wow so Michigan right there in Detroit Michigan so here I am born April 22nd 1961 a little black baby born without civil rights you wouldn't bet on that baby and you wouldn't bet on that seventeen year old little girl and I was just fortunate you know they have such a great mother and the Detroit riots came about when Martin Luther King was assassinated I was seven years old I was playing in the streets and I'll never forget the moment they killed him and my mother and my grandmother they just screamed like I've never seen him scream before they killed him they killed him and within five minutes I was looking down the barrel of a tank mm-hmm next thing I know troops were walking on the lawn bayonets dogs and the military took over our neighborhood we've got to prevent any rider that was the stuff that was just a squash the riots they knew they were going to kick off over a hundred watt riots kicked off when they assassinated Martin Luther King and they went in there naturist we're in spin place and squashed it and it was basically if you are on the streets after dark we gonna shoot you we gonna kill you and no questions asked curfew boom so my mother and I decided to go to LA and visits family in summer of 68 and some friends and two-week vacation and ended up staying and slept on a lot of sofas a lot of floors and good grace of God just kind of sulfur served for a while and my mother my mother ended up getting into UCLA and she went to UCLA and got her master's degree in cinema TV production oh wow those in your blood and so that was I mean I'll be the first to say if the mothers succeed so will the children and if the mothers fail most likely so will the children so because my mother was at UCLA and getting her master's degree in cinema TV production she went to NBC and said can I get a job and they said no and her persistence really paid off she said she asked a very important question she asked a question that changed our lives she asks do you have an internship and they said no and then she went to the next question will you start one with me and they said yes GameChanger and my mom ended up being an intern at NBC and then later to her guy and then later she went on to become a publicist in the marketing department at NBC and because she was a tour guide and we couldn't afford childcare I would go out to NBC with her and I would sit and wait for her to get off work and I would just watch Johnny Carson do The Tonight Show Wow and I watch red fox do Sanford and Son if Flip Wilson do the Flip Wilson show and Richard Pryor do his specials and Freddie Prinze do cheek on the man and then I would go and watch an unknown sportscaster do the local news Bryant Gumbel then I watched an unknown weatherman do the weather Pat Sajak before the Today Show and before will of course and I just went from Studio to studio to studio and I thought what a wonderful way to go through life making people laugh making television and entertaining the world and this is what I'm gonna do with my life and all of that is because of education my mother getting in there and opening that door and that's a May you know it changes the pair just changes the paradigm instantly when I wonder what inspired I don't want to go to school you know what she wants she always knew education was the way and she said let's go and before that you know we were in Detroit and my daddy worked at Ford Motor Company a little over 30 years and my granddaddy worked the Great Lakes steel a little over 30 years and these were just you know just unbelievable men right never called in a day sick ever got to work my granddaddy got to work an hour early every day and taught himself how to read and drank bad coffee every day and didn't even know it and these guys were trying to figure out how to put 36 hours in a 24 hour a day and that's what I wanted to do I wanted to go to the factory with them and it was just a game changer to see how television was made so I started doing stand-up comedy when I was about 13 14 years old I got reduced to you the comedian yeah yeah I started when I was a kid because of watching red fox and Johnny Carson and all of these comedians and I said you know I'm started doing stand-up and I went to the comedy store and did my routine and a guy saw me terrific guy named Wayne Klein he saw me and he said who wrote those jokes and I said I did he said I know somebody might be interested in writing with you I said I gave my phone number and I got a call like a week or two later and this guy calls me up because made me speak to Byron jaywalk apparently I go this is Byron he goes he goes this bar I goes my man Wayne Klein says you're funny so if my man Wayne Klein says you funny you must be funny I said oh thank you he goes you want to come write some jokes with us I go alright let me ask my mom he was like I always got to ask his mom so I started writing jokes with Jimmy JJ Walker went to his apartment I was 14 years old and in his living room what kind of problem did he have it look like the goodtime department was he was making money he was making he was the was hotter than the Sun he was he was you know on good times number one show he was lighting it up and I go into his apartment sitting there as David Letterman who had just driven out from Indianapolis and a red pickup truck because he didn't think he was gonna make it and he wanted to drive home and jay leno who was sleeping in his car and they were getting two hundred bucks a week and i was got $25 a joke $25 a joke - right yeah so I sold my joke I sold a joke to him mothers say the craziest things this milk smell sour here taste it boom that was it $25 and I was able to quit my paper route because I know it was great because I was throwing the herald-examiner and I had to throw it to newspapers to make a penny and so I thought okay I've made it and I started doing stand-up and kept doing stand-up and kept writing and I was really fortunate I ended up being the youngest comedian on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and that went really well and I remember standing behind the curtain and I said alright the next five minutes here after he introduces me will change my life forever and it went well and I got a number of offers and one of them was real people which ended up being the granddaddy of reality shows and so real people was amazing because it took me all over the country and I was able to see America and I mean small-town America where you don't have stoplights and it's a you know population 300 people so that's pretty much that's how I got into the business but before that it was tough I mean it was you know with a single mother and there was talk about her not being able to afford me not being able to keep me because things were tough money was really tight and that clicked with me as a kid so I started figuring out how to make money early on because my mother and father got a divorce and I felt like I pretty much lost my father in that divorce and I wasn't about to lose my mother so I said I'm not gonna let money be the reason why they say to her you need to put him up for adoption you need to put him in foster care or whatever it is so I started making money and I remember how I was ten years old I went to the supermarket Ralph's LaBrea and third and I went to the supermarket and I said hey can I get a job and he said how old are you s I'm 10 years old they said you have to be at least 16 to work here to bag groceries I say you have to be 16 to bag groceries I go what how old is that guy right there bagging groceries they said he's 16 years old I said well I'm 10 years old and I know not to put eggs at the bottom of the bag so why don't you give me a job well he was sitting there and I'm like this lady's gonna come back and say this kid messed up my eggs right so they said no that's not gonna work so I was walking out of the store and I saw this lady bring in a grocery basket back into the store and I said and I watched her take the basket and push it into this into this machine and then the Machine gave her a stamp and I said hey lady what is that she goes where every time you you you put a grocery basket in this machine you take it out of the parking lot because they don't want grocery baskets in the parking lot you get a stamp and if you get a hundred stamps you get a dollars worth of food so I just worked that parking lot Wow and I just kept putting baskets in that machine that's not loitering that's not lording name that was there I'm working I'm putting basket and I and I'm coming home with food for my mother Wow and I'm saying okay here we go mama you don't have to worry about feeding us that's right so you start hustling that clicks right there like when somebody goes to your core and say hey you can't afford to keep your family which is something that's very real today because we're seeing mothers single mothers who were struggling half the women in this country living at or below the poverty line and we're seeing them struggle to try and keep food on the table and the government's taking them away mm-hmm because of that I've seen that I've come too close to that I have tasted that abyss so drives people to a life of crime a lot of brothers in the hood feel like you know what I gotta go make ends meet so they start going to do illegal things to put food on the table yes position to fail position to fail you know I I wanted to look at Martin Luther King through Coretta Scott King XY's so I don't know so I went I bought I went to her a number of years and finally I got her to sell me the rights to her life story because I wanted to look at Martin through her eyes I felt like she's the one who knew him better than anybody I felt like Coretta is the true queen of America because she's the one who was with him through the civil rights movement she's the one who raised their four children she's the one who raised over fifty million dollars to build the Martin Luther King Center for nonviolent change and she is the one who made Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday the only American to have his birthday as a national holiday and she sued the she shoot yes and I'm making I'm loaded I'm making a movie about that I'm making a movie about everyone yes and one I'm making a movie about that which is gonna change everybody's perspective and I learned so much from her and she taught me so much I'll never forget she said to me Byron as black people we have four major challenges number one end slavery number two in in Jim Crow now Jim Crow and my pain was more damaging than slavery because as slaves we were we were property we were an asset and when we became free we became a liability and that's when they introduced Jim Crow I need to murder you I need to lynch you I need to incarcerate you because you are competing with me and Jim Crow and then she said achieve number three achieve civil rights and then she choked up and the next thing she said pretty much change the way I looked at the world she said the real reason they killed my Martin achieve economic inclusion that's right poor people's March that's it that's it she said they didn't kill my Martin over I have a dream they killed my Martin over the speech the other America that's right that's the speech that's the speech everybody needs to know innately there are two Americas one America has opportunity and access to capital and an education and what does it matter if I can sit at the same lunch counter as my white counterpart and I cannot afford same hamburger there are two Americas and two Americas will not survive that's why they killed him the poor people's March he was going to deliver half a million poor people mainly poor white people of all races that all ranging that was the game-changer he was delivering over over half a million poor people to the nation's capital and the government said hey this guy's a threat to national security and we're making a movie about this that they gave the orders to kill him yeah and there's a read William Peppers book that's the book I bought Oh orders to kill so we're making that's the reason I got in the movie business to tell that story and other stories like it so and that's why we're we are the first movie studio to go direct to the movie theaters and we deal directly with the theaters so when she told me that it really changed everything and I said you know you and Martin have done an amazing job I said the fourth and final chapter this generation will deal with it you guys took care of the first three and now it's time for us to deal with that fourth chapter economic inclusion and I never forgot she said they will come after you they will come after you come they kind of coming after you now right they always come after me yeah but you know listen I know people always alike I've I've made it very clear do not live in fear you cannot live in fear you you know I burnt my kneepads long ago you know a lot of brothers save me they gone blackballed you hang on black boy and I'm like hey when your black ass was born they blackballed you you just didn't get the email you were born blackballed you know you've been positioned to fail and you have to recognize where you are you know it took a it took a lot for me to start to see what was going on having kids you know taking my kids to school taking my daughter Chloe to school when she was 2 or 3 years old and she's in the backseat and my other daughter Olivia my son Lucas wasn't born at the time and my daughter Chloe started counting and telling me all the homeless people she was seeing now on the streets daddy I see another homeless person daddy I see another homeless person daddy when we gonna stop to help them how can we not helping them daddy three years old and by the time I got to the next light I started crying I started crying because I realized I turned off my empathy button and this little girl wasn't normalized it was normalized that's right you got it and this little girl turned that empathy button back on and what was it about me that I was gonna act like I don't see you and I see yeah you know what we are gonna help them what's going on here there is a matrix that's happening here and we don't crack the code and I couldn't stop thinking about it and I said you know what it's the it's the four DS it's the four D they dismiss you it was perfected on women hundreds of years ago just dismiss you hey you know what I'm not getting a fair shake here I'm gonna just go they just dismiss you then they uh then you get a little upset about being dismissed and you say no no this is real we have to really get this on try then they discredit you oh look at that okay and then you get really a little louder and a little bit more aggressive not in a bad way but like we have to really deal with this then they move on to that third D and they have to move on to that third D to get to get right with their Christian selves they demonize you hmm and then once they hit that third D and they demonize you they have a green light to go to that inevitable fourth D destroy so its dismiss discredit demonize destroy and I watched and I looked at and I said wow what is going on here and I said you know we are position to fail because of the nature of how we came into this country we were brought here to create wealth not to share the wealth and you're brought here to build wealth to make people wealthy not to share it and the moment we became free we became a liability to them and that's when they kicked in and said here you go I'm gonna incarcerate you and I say listen they get us in the school room by making sure you don't get a proper education right they get you in the boardroom by making sure you don't have access to capital that's not predatory and business opportunities and they get you in the courtroom by making sure there are laws that incarcerate you and lock you up long before you get choked to death in the streets how did you get the capital for a lot of the stuff that you did because like you said they don't give us anything I'm able to get that mind frame and have that business mind frame to purchase and do so many things that you were able to do and how you pivot from artist to executive with y'all from watching that understanding that's understand you have to understand where you are understanding how you're positioned to fail if you don't understand that if you don't get into that matrix then you can't go to the next level so I said okay how do we get around that you know when you look at an air gardener getting choked to death in the streets right they didn't position him properly in the schoolroom to have that education so he can have access today a capital so he wasn't standing on the sidewalk but rather he owned a block he owned the store in which he was standing in front of how does that happen where he gets choked to death it's happy we're be the battle is not in the streets it's in the schoolroom it's making sure we get a proper education it's in the it's in the boardroom making sure you have access to capital that's not predatory and it's in the courtroom like we are in the Supreme Court would talk a little bit about that and this was something that you know I started supporting senator Obama long before black America or anybody knew his name right because he came to folks who had the capital to support I was happy to support and after he became president I said I'm not I'm not any different than anybody else I have an agenda my agenda is that I want for all Americans to have equal access to capital and opportunity especially African Americans the furthest left behind so I said I have to ask of you I said you just spent seven hundred billion dollars to bail out the banks and I want you to audit the banks and see if they're lending money to black people not minorities black people because minorities that's defined as white women and the new minorities gay white men but if you actually say I'm gonna audit you to see if you're lending money to black people Negroes whichever decade you want to go to you're gonna see that we're not getting access to capital and at that point I had seen the data that unemployment for under Obama's administration unemployment for black America had gone up and had gone down for white America and homeownership had hit a 25-year low so I said that audit will send a very clear message to the banks to start lending money to black folks and they'll start digging black people up out of graves and linden money to maintain their their good standing with the united states government and i said alone no no so i went to them and that was the other thing and i said listen the other thing i want you to do is just understand that the united states government has over a trillion dollar pension fund over a t government worker pension fund money people who work for the government over a trillion dollars about one penny of that is managed by african-americans Wow and I just need you to make sure that you know maybe a hundred and fifty billion is in the hands of qualified african-american money managers because that's going to be invested in african-american entrepreneurs in our communities and that will create jobs in our community and we can start to address the economic genocide by making sure you don't have access to a proper education making sure you don't have access to capital that equals genocide I'm gonna squeeze you out I'm gonna take the oxygen out of the room I'm gonna position you to fail you don't have a prop education you know have access to capital that's that's not predatory you don't have opportunities so I said those two things will change the game just notify the banks I'm gonna give you a report card on black people and carving out about a hundred and fifty billion of government worker pension fund money a lot of it coming from people of color and that did not happen but that was my ask I honestly I think we as a people we were not clear and our ask and we didn't hold him and others accountable a lot of people say that I feel like we just was so happy that we had a beautiful black family and there was no democracy that came on we don't have it asked we weren't you know what other communities were brilliant and they hadn't asked and they got results we weren't clear in our ask I was clear in my ask and I said this is what I need for black America I need economic inclusion we need to address the fourth and final chapter and ultimately that's what's gonna make America better is that everybody is fully but you know maximizing their potential okay my money's easy my money is easy you know like I said I had to learn how to make money from the day I started saying look I'm I helped my mother I'm gonna make sure I'm not a burden right that's the easy part making money is easy and that's a mindset you could put up a radar and say where's trouble and trouble will find you you could put up a radar and say where is this and it will come to you but when you put up that radar that says okay how we gonna make money in an honest way in a legal way you gonna figure it out especially today with the internet with the internet million goodbye to weather channel 300 by the way 300 million is a lot money and so I think I listen 300 you know I want to I want to make sure everybody understands how much money there is out there there there is out there and it is there for you that money is there for you and you can make all that and more that money is there especially today I mean you look in America this is the greatest financial system out there we have over 20 trillion dollars in liquidity and our financial systems that money is just swirling looking for a place to invest and looking for a place to get a safe return that money is available to you that money is looking for you and aren't that many people who can actually invest it protect it return it with a return so there's plenty of capital there's no shortage of capital in America how do you get it though great question all right so let's talk about it all right we listen it all right let's talk about then we gotta go back a little bit okay cuz I want everybody to understand innately because I want everybody out there to be a billionaire and I like when you talk like that everybody to be a billionaire okay I'll talk billion Allen because because by the way God wants you to be that to wants you to be your best so I'm here to help all right so let's talk about let's talk about I started my company from my dining room table in 93 and I did a television special I interviewed a bunch of funny friends I remembered it right so weekly one-hour show called entertainers would Byron Allen and I started I sat on my dining room table and I called all 1300 television stations and asked him to carry the show for free and on average they all told me no about 50 times and literally I sat in my dining room table from sunup to sundown and I got about fifty thousand knows and after a year of doing that I was able to squeeze out about a hundred and fifty yeses I got a station a TV station in every market from New York to Waterloo Iowa right and so that was my line now tribune had said to me if byron if you get 75% of the country we will sell your commercial time because i said to the TV stations there's 14 minutes of commercial time I'll keep seven minutes you keep seven minutes I'll sell my seven minutes to national advertisers you local TV station you sell your seven minutes to local advertisers right you sell it to local banks car dealers supermarkets I'll sell my seven minutes to McDonald's and Pepsi and Johnson & Johnson and General Motors you sell yours to the local you know they didn't pay for the show that's right they didn't pay for the show I gave them the show for free he produced the show that everything is everything myself it's the hardest thing I've ever done sat there for one year and just work the phones like crazy for one year the hardest thing I've ever done give away a TV show for free so now the problem was after I did that good old Tribunal's that we changed our mind we're not gonna give you an advance of $400,000 so you can go into production and produce this TV show so I said okay I'm not gonna see here for one year and tell these TV stations I'm not gonna deliver what I told you I would deliver so I didn't have two nickels to rub together and I decided I'm going forward and I went forward I didn't know how I was gonna get it done but Martin Luther King like he said that's faith taking step well they taking that step when I was president staircase there it is right so I went forward and it was tough my home went in and out of foreclosure over 14 times over about a four or five year period from bankruptcy to billionaire from bankruptcy to billionaire that's exactly right there was I there were days I didn't eat there were days they turned my phone off and this is before mobile phones I was calling people from a payphone and I got to know the lady really well at the bank and I'll never forget her she says your your file keeps coming on my desk she says what are you doing I said well I'm not paying my mortgage because I'm I'm paying the camera man and I'm paying the sound person and I'm paying to get tape and I'm paying to have my show edited and I'm paying to put it on the satellite and I'm just trying to put a show on production I don't have the money to do it and she says listen up honey she says don't let don't let it go past day 89 cuz day eighty nine day 90 it goes to the lady next to me Agnes and you don't want your father to go to her desk Agnes is not as nice as me so I said day 89 and that was it and I showed up every day on the 89th day and I paid my mortgage but I was floating and finally I turned the corner and I signed up all the movie studios to buy advertising before that I was selling 1-800 spray-on hair and after I got the movie studios probably got 20 bucks for that can we sell it to everybody right so we kept selling and I went I got movie studios and I said I'm gonna go to soft drinks I got soft drinks and I went to fast foods and I went to packaged goods and I went to pharmaceuticals and I went to automotive and I went industry by industry by industry and I went to board of directors and with the CEOs and chief marks with you this is me I'm gone I'm going day and night I'm on the plane every night and I'm five you know six meetings a day whatever it is and finally I put another show and I'm say you know I know all these television station I know all these advertisers I put another show on another show next thing you know I have 43 shows on the air when a largest privately-held libraries in the world and I went to Verizon I said look I want to launch ten networks with you they said we won't give you ten we'll give you six we launched six 24-hour HD networks I went back a few years later and said I got a seventh Network we launched the seventh Network because we ended up being one of the largest producers of court shows we launched a seventh network and then a buddy came to me and a guy whose satellite at my networks success begets success and he came to me and he said can we have dinner and I said sure and he said now he said you don't realize this before I was the the CEO of this satellite company that satellites our networks he said I used to be the chief operating officer of The Weather Channel and he said you should buy the Weather Channel he goes I know you don't think about the Weather Channel in LA because it's always 80 degrees and sunny but it's a great business and it generates hundreds of millions of dollars and the people who own it just don't want to own it anymore because they're in a partnership a three-way partnership it's Bane his black stone and it's NBC Universal and they want to get out of the deal and I said okay he started talking about it and I said okay let me get into it we got into it I said you know what I'm gonna buy the Weather Channel and I called a guy up and I said you know we have an opportunity we have an opportunity to buy The Weather Channel and I said it generates quite a bit of capital and I need three hundred and ten million dollars so you didn't use your money I didn't use my own money okay I borrowed it okay so the guy I called him on a Friday morning get his number and and by the way and here's what I knew he has a hundred billion dollars that he manages so you have a hundred billion dollars that you manage you have a problem you have a hundred billion dollars that you must Shepherd invest and get back with a return right so I do something with that money you got to do something with it right there it is so I said look I'm here to help you got a hundred billion I'm here to help you unload some of that put it somewhere and get that return I'm an asset called him on a Friday morning he sent his top executive to see me the next business day Monday at 2 o'clock sat in my conference room for four hours he said this is one of the most amazing business stories I've ever heard you are a brilliant entrepreneur I'm going to give you a commitment letter a term sheet tonight and a commitment letter tomorrow morning please close on the Weather Channel and we did see if you know money money we'll know you and love you and be with you money is easy don't be afraid of money let money love you money will always be with you there's plenty of money money loves me did you when he said that Oh were you were you like all right thanks man or did you give a little scream no I said like I'm here to help I guess you know I'm here to help in my head when he said yes I'm gonna give you that commitment letter tomorrow yeah but I thought the first time you've done something like that you purchased the 11 small market networks from us eight well you know one of the first things I purchased I purchased a movie distribution company freestyle releasing because I wanted to go straight to the movie theaters because we as african-americans we've never had that where we control our distribution right to the movie theaters and I bought the griot and the griot is an amazing African American publishing natal she's the great one she's amazing and Todd Johnson just came on board to to be our fearless leader and I felt it was important and buying the griot to own you know our our voice to own our position in the marketplace to really control our narrative you know with soul you know it's very important to me because when my children were born I had a guy say to me you know a white guy he says to me why is it important that you have black ownership you know what's wrong with black targeted because there are a lot of black faces and I said I'm glad you asked me that question you know let me tell you why I bought the griot and why I bought a movie distribution company and why I own ten cable networks let me ask you something as a white man who has children are you comfortable with me controlling the images of your daughters and how they are produced and how they're depicted and how they grow up looking at themselves are you cool with me having 100% control over how your white daughter sees herself and he said no and I said great I said I expected you to answer the question in that way now understand me as a black man and my black daughters now that they're here I'm going to take a seat at the table and I'm going to control how they're produced and how they're depicted and how they grow up and how they see themselves because at this moment in my life nothing is more important to me then so when you bought those networks from the USA for 290 million that was you and that was your intention absolutely so you know what we have to do is we have to have ownership you know that's what we need to do we need to have ownership in our community and that's what I've always pushed for whether it's the griot or whether it's distributing to movie theaters so whether it's owning cable networks or whether it's owning TV stations or whether it's owning radio stations you have to you have to own the game not play the game and that's always been my position on the game don't play the game I'll get you see you know like so you talked about some of the stuff that you see it on these TV networks yeah what's your opinion on the stuff that you're singing out there on TV I mean it's varied I mean there's an audience for all of it right yeah but look you have 7 billion people on the planet 7 billion you don't need that many people have 4 billion connected devices around the world you don't need that many people to really actually appreciate what you do and you have a sustainable business so you know it's one of those things where it doesn't matter what I think there's an audience for what kind of programming you put know we have comedy TV which is you know our Comedy Network pets dot TV there's more pets in American cars my death station travel we put out movies we put out you know 47 meters down and you know this Friday November 1 we have arctic dogs our first animated movie because I want us to be in the family business and I want us to understand that business how to put out animated movies you know we're building you know I told my wife when I met her almost 20 years ago she said what are you doing this and I'm building the world's biggest media company the world's biggest mean you do that well yeah you can say can you do that putting out black contact I haven't heard you mention any like black content you know what we are definitely well one of the first movies we put out when I bought a freestyle was meet the blacks okay with Deon Taylor who I mean that's what you know but what I've always said and I've said to you know young kids you know what I don't want to play in the Negro Leagues I'm gonna play in the global leagues I bought the Weather Channel to make it very clear to Wall Street look at me as a global player not as a black player I'm global and I happen to be black and there's a big difference so my assets are global so I'm not either it could be I'm somebody like Tyler Perry Tyler Tyler's amazing apologetically I love haters too the black audience and that's a great business global brain and he's aglow and that's a big brand but the assets that I'm purchasing I'm making sure that they have the ability to be global so one of the first things I did after buying The Weather Channel's I announced that we're doing something's never been done before we're doing the Weather Channel in espanol it's the first 24-hour spanish-language weather channel how you say it snowing in Spanish drum Rondo there it is and so I want to make it very clear that you know we're global we're going in as well it'll be sexy though not your average weather chat is sexy we haven't started that but you know it's raining man we're gonna get that done so you know you know look at the end of the day the Capitals there and then also you have to make sure your position to win and I learned this from a guy god bless his soul Roger King and Roger and I became good friends Roger came to me once he said and I live in LA he said will you come to New York and pitch me and I said sure and I went to New York the pitch him he was as offices on Broadway Roger King had a company called King world and he distributed Wheel of Fortune jeopardy Oprah right all these amazing shows these were he as he put the reason you have Oprah is because of Roger King and I pitched him and he said Wow he said I heard you were great salesman he said you really are great salesman and I meant a lot to me as Roger is the most successful at that point he says I can only think of one guy who was a better salesman in you I said who's that he said my daddy he said my daddy loved salesmen he's as matter of fact he opened his drawer his desk drawer and he pulled out a tie he said this tie belong to my daddy I want you to have it as my daddy would have liked you a lot Wow it was just mental right no what deal was they getting done after that yeah he said so he says he goes listen up he said I want to share something with you I said sure he's a very wealthy successful man he said I didn't realize how bad it was out there and how much racism there was out there until I went and saw started selling Oprah he said one of my first pitches when I went and pitched a TV station to put Oprah on the air a guy looked at me and said I'll never put that in on my television station and looked me in the face and he said I got up from the chair I was sitting in and I threw it across the desk at him and then I took the show across the street across the street and I sold it to his competitor and I ran that guy out of town damn and he said but you know what really upset me is that he thought he could say that to me he thought I was good with that he thought I was cool with that he said my mama and daddy raised me better than that Roger King I never forget this he says so listen up he goes I know you've been calling all these television stations from your dining room table and you've been calling them every day sunup to sundown I just started my company he goes and I play golf with a lot of these guys and they're laughing and joking about how much you called them and how they're not gonna call you back and I got and he said they're not gonna do business with you because you're black and he says I don't like that hmm I'll never forget this he says so listen up he goes I'm having I'm having my birthday party at my beach house in New Jersey and he says everybody who owns and operates a TV station is gonna be out there he goes I hired Paul Anka The Four Tops and Elton John to celebrate my birthday they're doing a concert and the Sarducci brothers are doing a half-hour firework show he goes please be at my beach house this weekend I go okay I had to I didn't have the money to get out there I took the bus all out there and I get out there said man I hope I'm on this man's list and I get there and I go here Byron Allen see Roger King go oh yeah but boss has been looking for he keeps coming out and going where are you so I go in and he goes Byron Allen now this party can get started he comes one or two things in Hollywood he gives me that bear hug he goes he says to me he says who's not who here is not returning your phone calls right there and I said everybody he goes watch this hey Bob put down that guacamole come talk to me he says Bob do you want to renew Willa Fortune jeopardy and Oprah and the guy is just kind of nervously laughs Oh Corey cause if he didn't his job was over he goes do me a favor he goes call Byron back figure out some business with him and then we'll talk about what i'ma charge you for with a fortune Jeopardy and he did that for the hole and he got up on the stage we got the Four Tops and we got Elton John and we have the hardest-working man in Hollywood here in my backyard Byron Allen this is the kind of guy you want to do business with and I never had a game changer right gay and I've never realized that persistent well I'll say I'll tell you something that's historic that we're going through you know he taught me that he goes you got to position yourself to succeed and that's what he was doing so the Obama administration came to me because these big corporations were trying to get bigger they were trying to buy bigger assets and so the Obama administration came to me and said Comcast wants to buy this and Charter wants to buy that blah blah blah are they good corporate citizens and I said do you want the Hollywood answer do you want the real answer they said we want the real answer I said the answer is not no it's hell no they're not good corporate citizens he says they said how do you figure I said well the industry spends 70 billion a year licensing cable networks 70 billion and african-american owned media gets zero zero and that's not fair and they say we hear that a lot what are you willing to do I said they said people were afraid to speak up because of reciprocity repercussions and I said I'll speak ax and I said but I'm gonna do it in a way we wouldn't have to deal with it anymore so I filed these lawsuits that ended up being historic I filed a twenty billion dollar lawsuit against Comcast and a ten billion dollar lawsuit against charter and why weren't you afraid to do that of the TV guy once again you got to burn the kneepads and I knew we were positioned to fail we didn't have true economic inclusion that we weren't really dealing with the fourth and final chapter so I said we're gonna do this the right way so we took him to court in downtown one of the judges ruled in Comcast is favor twice and the other judge rule on the Comcast lawsuit and the other judge ruled in our favor on the Charter cave's Charter didn't like it they say let's go to the Ninth Circuit I said well if you're gonna take meets in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals I'll take Comcast to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Wow so we went to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and then something historic happened the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in our favor not once but twice on both Comcast and charter Comcast was very upset about it and said well we ought to take this to the Supreme Court and now that's going on now now we're gonna be in the Supreme Court November 13th you said you felt like that was an insult to the black community it is a big insult to the black community because the truth of the matter is what I need the black community to truly understand my case really isn't in the Supreme Court anymore we unfortunately are in the Supreme Court what happened was the Supreme Court said we're not gonna look at the Byron Allen case with Comcast and charter we pretty much agree with the Ninth Circuit that's a dispute between you guys but we are going to look at the Civil Rights Act of 1866 section 1981 what is that exactly great question the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was put on the books after so we were free pretty much December of 1865 and instead of getting what some historians believe reciprocity 40 acres and a mule we got this law we got this law and basically it says we will have fair contracting economic inclusion in government contracting and in commercial contracting because they knew that the newly freed slaves African Americans were not going to be treated freely in commercial contracting and government contracting and it was essential for us to be integrated into the financial fiber of America so this law was put on the books a hundred and fifty three years ago to make sure we had an economic pathway for economic inclusion 150 it's the very first civil rights statute in America it gave birth to civil rights and it is the civil rights statute that allows us to have economic inclusion and stop economic genocide so what Comcast said and the sea and the Ninth Circuit told him to get out of here with this Comcast said in order for you or Byron anybody in me any minority to use this law you must prove that the reason we discriminated against you discriminated against you is 100% because you are black the sole reason we discriminated against you Charlamagne is that you are 100% of the reasons that you're black it could be 99 percent that you're black and 1 percent that you're wearing tennis shoes and you can't use the law you can't bring the lawsuit against me so they're they're eviscerating it they're making it impossible for you to use it now that is called the but-for standard that is what Comcast and charter that's what they're pushing for they're pushing for this this civil rights statute to go away now with the Ninth Circuit said in favor of black folks in all minorities Hispanics Asians everybody that it's not the sole reason which is the but-for it's the motivating factor if any part of the reason if they discriminated against you there it is it's impossible so it can't be used so if it's 20% or 30% any part of the reason now you can use it so that is why we're in there in this in the Supreme kort now here's what's happened comcast winning got what's known as a amicus brief a friend of the court got Donald Trump's Department of Justice to write them an amicus brief saying yes let's roll minorities back to 1865 let's take those Negroes back to slavery so I thought actually putting it on the books there the Donald Trump's DL J wrote an amicus brief in favor of color and yes okay in favor of Comcast is position against us and not only that which we thought was unbelievable and hideous something we've never seen Comcast said well listen we have 30 minutes in front of the Supreme Court and Byron has 30 minutes in front of the Supreme Court but you know what we're gonna do Comcast is what Comcast says we're gonna give 10 of our 30 minutes in front of Donald Trump's the Supreme Court we don't give 10 of our 30 minutes to Donald Trump's DOJ so now on November 13th we're standing in the Supreme Court and a Donald Trump era where we've got Donald Trump's DOJ arguing against us to take the original the first civil rights statute and eviscerated OH now given to mega put a federal court aren't you concerned that this new case can undo civil rights for a whole generation it could take us back to 1865 all minorities so is it worth it it's why I didn't I didn't petition to bring it to the Supreme Court they did they did and then what they did is they made what I consider see this what I call institutionalized racism they treat us like we are a bunch of monkeys but I thought you look at it that's right looking for a banana so here's what they say hey Byron drop the case drop the case drop the case and we might meet with you we might work with you well that's a rate that's a racist offer that's a that's a I think you're nothing more than a monkey and here's a banana no white Devils kid here yeah okay I mean shouldn't you want to kind of drop the cake if it's gonna set us back when a whole generation back when I come to Sorel no because I didn't first of all we won in the in the ninth circuit twice we won twice and I didn't bring it to the Supreme Court they brought it to the Supreme Court now if you don't come to us in a racist way and you don't look at us like a bunch of monkeys looking for a banana then you do it the same way you do it with all white people just pay them no you settle it up you settle the case and then it's dropped and so they didn't come you but see they never met with me yeah you see I asked them to meet with me but why won't you drop it and then meet with and it may be me that's right which is something you would never ask a white person to do I see you never asked that you never asked anybody white to do that so here when we asked them to sit with us they said no we're not gonna sit with you as a matter of fact my government relations person went to the government relations person of charter and she said and he said you should sit would Byron to resolve this and she said to him we don't negotiate with terrorists Wow okay that's what she said and he said you know what I have a number of white clients who are much tougher than Byron and you've never called him a terrorist and I said there's the difference because should offend domestic terrorists because they look at us is you're not equal you don't get something that you deserve all right and how dare you sue me and use peaceful tactics see the offer is racist like you drop it and then I might sit with you and we might work something out so that's why you have to be really clear that stop the institutionalized racism sit down comcast sit down charter don't jeopardize the civil rights of over a hundred million people these are folks that you know they're doing the wrong thing and you know Senator Kamla Harris she was phenomenal she wrote an amicus brief in our favor and she got Senator Cory Booker to signed it senator Blumenthal senator Wyden and eight members of the Congressional Black Caucus eight on fortunately only eight out of 55 now I believe we as black Americans we have to ask the other 47 congressional leaders why didn't you sign this amicus brief if you want our money you want our vote why aren't you signing something to protect our civil rights how was the feedback been from existing civil rights organizations what are they saying to you you know you know Michael Lawson is amazing he wrote a phenomenal letter it's saying to folks hey you know he said he sent a letter to Brian Roberts and David Cohen of Comcast and said this is wrong and you should sit down and we can't don't challenge our civil rights and a lot of folks are very upset I mean they have they've taken it to a level it's bigger than me it has very little to do with me at this point because they're challenging our civil rights here's what will happen now here's what will happen you take away this civil rights now someone can fire you and you can't get a lawyer that's the reason why the the Chamber of Commerce gave them an amicus brief because they didn't want their businesses to be sued so now somebody can now you can't get a lawyer to take your case on contingency because it's hard to prove that 100% of the reason you were discriminated damn-near possible so they don't want that law there to be used so I say the moment people can discriminate against you and you can't hold them accountable I say three words welcome to hell well welcome to hell and it's you have to ask why are you doing this Comcast why are you standing in the United States Supreme Court physically with Donald Trump's DLJ trying to eviscerate this civil rights statue have respect sit down with me and let's work it out and this goes away if you true that Comcast executives told someone is your company they're not trying to create anymore Bob Johnson that is what someone told us absolutely that is a look we'll think about it who has created wealth in this country that didn't come from entertainment for the most part it's very hard you have you know on it what you can count on one hand on one hand you mean black people just like yeah you know outside of sports and entertainment in your own Allen you know that's that's that's all that pharmaceuticals and there rackin there it is there and that's why this lawsuit is important because you need to protect this because what historians believe this was our reciprocity this is your pathway you have to protect this law you know I want to set this up for you in a nice button because I know people who take this right now I know you got to go yeah no I'm good I got plenty of time I'm here to hang out with you I've been looking for you I don't have a meeting I'm good I like hanging out with you you kidding me I want to come hang out with you a lot more I love less but why is this such a special case in your opinion why should we be so informed about it it's a very special case because it's a it's the original Civil Rights Act in America it's about protecting our economic inclusion if we don't have economic inclusion then you're done if you are poor and black and don't have an education in America they will treat a stray dog better than you it's a matter of fact there are more animal shelters than there are homeless shelters and so you can't live like this you have to have access to a proper education you have to have access to economics that can really get you to be a part of the American financial fiber and so this law was designed to give us a pathway to that this is now being taken away this is one of the first time the acting Solicitor General the Attorney General is standing in the United States Supreme Court to roll back our civil rights to a point where we can't use them what can we do how can we help you can kind of ruckus can we make you know what's great question its first having me here is fantastic and thank you know what you're up against this is one of those they get you in the courtroom and you don't even know about and you can't normalize things like this you can't that's right because we've been so normalized with things I've been going on with Donald Trump that's right that it's like okay we expect that's right you got to protect your civil rights protect your civil rights that's what I want us to do protect them go to your representatives ask all 47 of them go to the grill if you go to the grill we will post who signed it then you'll see who didn't go to the 47 members of the Congressional Black Caucus and ask them why didn't you sign this and what are you going to do to say to Comcast and charter how dare you challenge our civil rights in the words of Muhammad Ali if you even dream about whippin my ass you better wake up and apologize that's what time of day it is if you don't drop this case our civil rights if we I'm not gonna drop the case we're gonna go into the Supreme Court on November 13th we're gonna go in front of the nine justices we're going to take the position that we prevailed with in the Ninth Circuit twice and Comcast this is one of those if you win you lose if you lose you lose I said I mean so what are the ramifications if you do drop the case if you do drop the case what the ramifications in a black community how did that affect if you do drop the case if we do drop the case then well which we won't then at the end of the day they'll say well then the Civil Rights Act is not at stake anymore but they're the ones who brought it and what they've done is they've upset a lot of folks in DC and I've said to David Cohen and Brian Robertson you know through a back you know through back channels this is not good you've upset a lot of folks and that that wasn't the intent now you got folks in DC who are now talking about quietly working and aggressively working to break up Comcast because they don't believe Comcast should be the largest cable operator owned TV stations and owned the largest portfolio of cable networks that's not my agenda I don't necessarily want to see Comcast broken up I don't want to see their business hindered in any way I just want them to just have the respect to sit down with me so we can work things out so we're nothing's being jeopardized but they've upset a lot of folks the n-double-a-cp has weighed in aggressively and there are a lot of other folks color change a das a lot of people are weighing in and they're really now they're gonna hold their representatives accountable and a lot of politicians accountable and I think you know Comcast is living in a bubble and I get it you know David Cohen gets paid over 14 million a year it has a budget over a hundred and twenty five million to make sure that he donates money to black civil rights organizations and politicians to make sure that there are not any issues but he's gone a bridge too far because people were truly upset because what's at stake are our civil rights they could literally take us back to 1865 I didn't take this to the Supreme Court they're the ones who need to drop it and we're the ones that are in the right how much have you spent fighting this Millions I don't even keep track I really know I mean I I don't all for me this is about who else is helping you beside yourself is there anybody's no hey no I'm your I've done this I've spent millions and and at the end of the day this was something I remember talking to Coretta Scott King about this is the fourth and final chapter we're going to have economic inclusion and by the way this is not an ask this is a take and we're not asking we're taking because it's rightfully ours we have a seat at the table no one ever invites you to have that no one's gonna hand that to you we this is ours and you have to understand your value your worth we deserve better we've built this with you you got luck being the wealthiest country in the world without our free labor and hundreds of years of slavery good luck we know who we are we're kings and queens royalty runs through our blood we're from Africa the oldest continent okay we know who we are we know our value I know that you've worked overtime to make me feel or make us feel like we have less value but we know what we bring to the table and we certainly bring to the table where you need to have the respect to sit down with us when you haven't even sat down with us David Cohen and Bryan Roberts and that's a problem and by the way the reason why you're the number one cable operator in America is because black entrepreneurs didn't have the money a lot of black entrepreneurs were awarded the cable system in the black communities but black entrepreneurs didn't have access to the capital to physically lay the cable down to the home so the reason why you're the number one cable operator in America and you have all the black cities and all the black neighborhoods is because the black entrepreneur didn't have access to capital we still don't and we still don't and so you if you're gonna take all this money out of our community with African American cable subscribers then just have the respect to sit down and let's work this out and not jeopardize the civil rights of over a hundred million Americans living today minorities today in America and over a billion in the future how do we change that though you know you talk about you know finances we can't get money they're not lending us money that's right and the banks that we do have can't give us necessarily the amount that we need that's right most of the time so that's right it's you have to have homeownership you have to have homeownership because you need that homeownership someone especially when you have a child that's born so when that child is 18 you can refinance that house and send that call it that kid to college there is no President Barack Hussein Obama without Harvard in his biography correct you got us in these kids to school earlier about higher education because we've been having a lot of debates up here where people feel like it's not necessarily what we need to do people are going into debt and spending a lot of money on an education and then coming out of school and not even knowing what they want we have we have to finance our kids we have to make sure they get in school and they stay in school and we have to check the percentages you see that the top 100 universities in America have less than half a percent of black kids in their population we won't end the economic genocide you can just look at the population of the top 100 universities in America and if you're half a percent then you're not going to get recruited by the biggest corporations you know and the biggest Wall Street firms you've got to get into these colleges and we have to fund our kids in these colleges and we have to make sure our kids have seats in these college what about HBCUs absolutely you got to fund them all and you've got to make sure they're properly funded you know the real reason why I went after Comcast and charter I didn't even have it didn't have anything to do with my cable networks it didn't what happened was a gentleman wanted to do the black college sports network in partnership with the HBCUs and Comcast did not accept it and that would have made a lot of money for these black colleges absolutely and it would have AG capped the black college sports network this is what he wanted to do that would educated a lot of black kids and when they didn't do that that's when I came off the bench and said okay i'ma light you up like a Christmas tree okay that was the real reason why I got into it was when I saw what happened with the black college sports network which I don't know I just knew that's why I just knew I'm a I just knew that these black like that all right I knew that these black colleges were going to benefit and these black kids were going to get the education that they deserved and not have to pay and that's what I said and I remember I said to Tom Rutledge shake Charter Tom Rutledge said well you you know you sued me and blah blah blah because I was trying to get my merger to I said Tom you really want to know the truth why suit you it's when I saw you in the newspaper without Sharpton and you were taking a photo without and you said and this is no disrespect to Al you said we have an MoU a Memorandum of Understanding with black people and I said ow who is the white guy who speaks for all black people and why do you think there's a black guy that speaks for all black people and why do you think he speaks for me and so if that white guy doesn't exist for you then that black guy doesn't exist for me and the very idea that you can go to a black person to speak for all black people is a racist idea and that is a racist document this is the head native speaking for all the other natives that's wrong that's wrong al Sharpton been helping him to block you a little bit no I wouldn't say he's been helping the block but I think what they do is they go to people like the Urban League and the n-double-a-cp and folks like that and they make donations and because they make donations maybe they don't speak up quite the way they should in my humble opinion I don't think the Urban League should have spoken out against net neutrality which they did you know you know President Obama fought to get net neutrality and if we didn't have net neutrality you wouldn't gotten the video out of Ferguson because they would have they would have throttled the internet and they would have made it tough for you to watch that video coming out of Ferguson you need black America needs net neutrality like black America needs food water and oxygen and you have to ask your civil rights organizations ask them ask all of them did you speak out against net neutrality did you work with Comcast to try and stop net neutrality and if they did that tells you everything you need to know because black people we need to stop looking to others to save us and speak for us you need to save yourself and speak for yourself well with that said shouldn't a guy like you who had billions of dollars you should be giving to these black organizations like the n-double-a-cp and arveleï so basically you got them in your pocket instead of what meeting the meeting the white man yeah I like the way you think look the Urban League gave me the Whitney M Young junior ward April 18th my dad's birthday of this year and I gave him a quarter of a million dollars and I told them I will give you more but we have to work together I know Comcast gives the Urban League a million bucks a year and I know it's tough for them to wean themselves off of that crack and I said guys I'm here to help myself I'm happy to help replace that money if not all of it but sit with me and make sure you're doing the right thing and there's plenty of folks black people we're not poor we have a lot of wealth in our community and we're happy to lean in and we're happy to finance our politicians so they can do the right thing so they can speak up and speak out and protect our interests and make sure that we do get access to capital make sure the banks are lending us money make sure we are a part of that pension fund run one trillion dollar pension fund and making sure that our schools are strong and they are making sure that our kids are properly educated and making sure that we do have a seat at the table at these major university I know we keep saying heartburn on education and I agree but education is not gonna stop racism no because you're going through a racist situation right now no but it's an it helps to equalize it you can't when people are educated and they have money it's tough to discriminate against they still do it it does not eat you like a [ __ ] regardless of what you'll find absolutely absolutely but you do have stronger you have more resources and you have greater recent you have greater resources to to hold them accountable okay and everybody from that school that you went through that you can tap into and what happens is a lot of people don't mess with people who can afford the best lawyers right there when you got money when you have money and you can hire the best lawyers people treat you with respect okay so you want to have that education and you want to have resources and it starts to level the playing field and that's important and what I say is look I have mad respect for a lot of people in our community and I know most people in our community want the best for it and I want to make sure we position ourselves for a long-term success and we do it now and we have to be really vigilant about it and you know what's it I think look the gay community also is being challenged the day before on November 12th and in the Supreme Court and they're brilliant they're out there on the streets and they're protesting and I'm not saying get out there in protest and certainly but make it be known that you're not that you're aware of this and you're not happy about it hey Comcast David Cohen Brian Roberts hey you know Tom Rutledge it charter don't challenge our civil rights that's not right let's sit down and let's figure it out you know you have a voice you have a lot of power also you need to really talk to your representatives when you have you know twelve members of Congress that have leaned in and you have 47 sitting on the bench you have to say and why should we vote for you and why should we give you money you need to protect our civil rights besides all that you know we got people as one last question where people that that look like you and it came from similar situations as you yes how are you helping those individuals because a lot of times you know we see we want we support but a lot of times nobody necessarily is reaching a hand back to the areas that we came from and say you know what let me help you so I can give you a jumpstart something that I didn't have I love it but you have the opportunity to do that absolutely that's a great question and I do plenty of that I do plenty of it I mean just sitting here and just speaking with the commune making sure please understand your civil rights are at stake your civil rights right a lot of folks wouldn't take the time they just do what they do there plenty of folks out there that say I'm rich I got mine get yours all right I'm not that person clearly it's it's easy not to sit here it's easy I can go sit on a yacht in the South of France right now okay and I know plenty of folks who are doing that but I'm sitting here saying we deserve better we can be better and we can do better and here's how we come together that's why I'm sitting here and you've been relatively quiet all of these years so for you to be being vocal about this right now yeah I'm sitting here and I'm talking you know I'm taking what what Coretta Scott King taught me and I'm saying hey folks we got to deal with the fourth and final chapters the reason I bought the griot so it's 100% African american-owned when you think about the Weather Channel being owned by an African American that is historic you basically have four news organizations in America we celebrated that up here when it happened yo thank you you know CNN owned by AT&T MSNBC owned by Comcast and Fox News owned by News Corp and The Weather Channel owned by me that in itself is you know exceptional for us as a community buying freestyle so we can go direct to the movie theaters that's a first the grills so we can have a voice that's just it can't be edited it is about making sure that we have the the truth the absolute truth and it's overarching is real simple we just want to make sure all Americans have fair access equal opportunity all Americans especially African Americans the furthest left behind and making sure that we work together with our gay brothers and sisters and our Hispanic brothers and sisters and Asian brothers and sisters everybody to make sure that if they're under siege that they know we have their back because today it's them tomorrow it's us we got another great black creator coming in will Packer my final question this is it if what the internet says is true yes sir and Bill Kyle we got room for trying to buy em you see yes are you afraid what they may try to do deal now a man like I said you know you have to burn your kneepads you can't live in fear because fear is another form of slavery and I I left the plantation long ago and I'm not going back to the plantation and you know I rather I made the decision long ago I rather die on my feet than my knees and don't live in fear God's got me God loves me God put me here to do great things and I will not let God down and when I have and when God when I finally go to heaven and God says to me why did you help feed my hungry people why did you help educate my people that were not
