Speaker 1

You can't fail if you don't quit. If you fall down seven times, get up aimed, and if you can look up, you can get up. Do you really understand what I mean by that? Like? Have you really digested that? Have you digested it for yourself? If I decided to to stop, to quit, I wouldn't be sitting here right here here in front of you. You wouldn't be hearing my voice coming through your speakers if I decided to quit. If I decided to stop now, I'm not saying that

it's not okay to pause, but just don't quit. You have to remember that your location is not your destination. Now, while this song has been out for a bit, for some reason, on my way in the studio, I heard Mary Mary walking in a whole different kind of way. I think previously I associated with that song just feeling good and getting about life. But when I really started listening into it and I really became inspired by it, it started to inspire me in so many ways. She says.

Are they say, I'm not sure if it was Erica Artina. One of them says, well, all I can take is one, one step at a time. I think oftentimes we confuse ourselves. We get so discombobulated and so frustrated because rather than realizing that inch by inch life's a cinch and yard by yard life is hard, we're trying to speed things up and sometimes it's just simply putting one foot in front of the other. And yes, in this game called life, you have to remember that the journey is the experience,

and the experience is the journey. So therefore you will hit some ditches. Therefore you will be in some valleys. There will be times where you will catch yourself at the peak of a mountain. You will go down, and you will go up. They can continue on saying, look at me, I'm trying. Every day, I fall down, make mistakes, get back up, try again next time that you see me. I'm walking, I'm walking. I'm walking. Some people say walking takes too long, but I say, with walking you can't

go wrong. Why should you rush your way through life? You won't get very far running all the time. You better catch it because it's high, baby, So remember, inch by inch, life's a inch. You can't fail if you don't quit. All right, It's Thursday, and it's that damn dawn like a break of day, and you know what

time it is. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

I will say that I did start a little bit later than I wanted yell. And what I mean by that is that, you know,

last week or not? Let child by on Tuesday, a couple of days ago, the day before yesterday, Missatasha said, Dawn, can you please start at five? How about five to six thirty? Because at first I was saying, I'm gonna go to FAE. I wanted to go at Fax, but I said, you know what, live at five? And then I ain't come up until six. So it's six pm. But guess what we here? We here, and we got some things to talk about. Now. I have came up with some features and conversations I'm so excited to share

with you. We got some foolishness from under the news desk, you know those individuals that are too scary to give the news. Yeah, my writers got that over to me. Also, I got some news about Governor Gavin Newsom. Yeah, he veatos a bill to help Black Fai reclaim their land. Now, if you're in California, you know that whole story that happened with Bruce's beach right, Well, all that is combined in this Plus we have a morning show host that

is now stepping down along with several CEOs. So I definitely want to talk about that and would love to get some callers in to get their opinions. Also, did you hear about that mother at Disneyland? They got arrested in front of our bairies, Chah. I want to talk

about that. I got a Vitamin D Levice letter and I got some news and resources, and I want to encourage you that if you would like to call in to comment on any of our wonderful stories, here's the studio line eight one eight four six one fifty four to thirty two. Again that is eight one, eight four six one fifty four thirty two. And if you are watching, I'm gonna go ahead and put that in the check because I know sometimes you know, you could be getting

in this Auls getting lost. But I want to make sure that if you want to keep up with me, pull up on me, yes, I said, pull up on me yes. So we were getting into first, Miss Maya. Are we talking about the news from the desk or from under the news desk. Let's go what from under

the news desk? All right, here it is, and once again from our crazy and silly comedic friends from over at under the news desk were the hilariously report and sciatirically comment about the news for a few minutes from under the news desk because they're literally afraid of the world. All right, here we go, get some comedy, y'all. Y'all ready, from under the news desk. A six year old drives mom's suv to see Mickey Mouse. Yes, you heard that correctly.

A six year old girl named Jessica Shelby from Anaheim, California, took the keys to her mother's white suv and her mother's credit card and then drove herself to Disneyland while her mother was asleep on the couch. The theme park, thankfully, was just only fifteen away from little Shelby's home. The six year old did hit a mailbox on the street corner at thirty miles an hour, but she safely made

it to Disneyland without any injuries. However, Anahei EMTs and paramedics are still medically treating the rent increased notices and the unemployment checks that were inside the mailbox. Meanwhile, concern Park staff and lapd Are with the Little Girl right now has said that she's calmly eating Disneyland popcorn. But surprisingly snow Whites, The Wicked Queen and Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid were the most visibly upset by this both and volunteered the most to take little

Jessica Shelby safely back home. Wait a minute, did you catch it? Okay? Oh, let me finish. I'm not done. When reporters asked why, with many tears in their eyes, both famous Disneyland villains said this, both of our mothers didn't watch over it like they should have when we were this age, and look how we both turned out. Du Da Da da. Next up, a postal worker robbed

and left walking in his underwear and van nass. California postal worker Calvin Davis, age fifty four, was robbed only just three hours into his postal route while delivering the mail. Several gang members surrounded Calvin Davis, and then they took his uniform, his shoes, and his government issued USPS mail truck away from him. The suspects also got away with about thirty thousand dollars in payroll checks, mailed gift cards,

and numerous online shopping packages. Now, Calvin Davis then walked six miles back to the main post office depot Bridge in his underwear only, carrying a cold, thirty two ounce bottle of water in his trembling hands. Now fellow postal workers tried to come from mister Davis as he was hysterically crying by saying this, well, they didn't get your water bottle, to which the fifty four year old poster worker tearfully said, the water bottle is it mine? The

gangsters gave it to me. They wanted me to be none Thursday and very well hydrated for tomorrow's robbery. Go figure. College students make real life Star Wars light saber. Three graduating college students at Massachusetts College from the Engineering and Sciences Department, who are insanely huge Star Wars fan have

just made the world's first fully functioning light saber. The US military as Room were to be very interested in talking to those incredibly drifted college students about their amazing invention being used for possible use for troops in the field. Well done, indeed. Also the other Star Wars related news

college money lenders. College AV and Sally may have just created a fully functional non payment of student loans global tractor beam, capable of lifting all hiding and none paying student loan borrowers high up into the air, no matter where they are on Earth, and then the tractor beam violently drags them to the nearest pay windows of their student loan lenders. Ironically, the tractor beam itself is powered

by lay fees. Yeah, and from all of the college diplomas hanging on the walls of America, College app and Sally may release this official statement. I said today to pay on time and to never never to be free of us. That is their destiny. If this is only if they only knew the power of presidential loan forgiveness. Now Q the Darth Vader theme music and competing with the Grilled Chicken Restaurant star Wars and competing with the

Grilled Chicken Restaurant Wars have now begun. Look out. L Poyo Logo Restaurants, twenty three new fast food chain locations from a brand new Mexican grilled chicken restaurant chain is coming to take all over your business. And it's called El Poyo deforcio, which means the divorced chicken in Spanish. Yes, l poyo diforcio. Look for the featherless mail rooster that's crying on the courthouse steps, on the front of each in every bag. He's featherless because the ex and her

lawyers got away with it all. Why she even got the henhouse too? And if because sixty five percent of American men have already tasted l poyo divorcio. And finally, wait this just in this is a breaking news story. Money is still green. I repeat, money is still agreed and money was last seen on Payday getting into a car against its will and heading towards the high rent and supermarkets. Well, we'll stay with this developing story until

we run out of pennies. And this this has been from under the news desk, the news desk, and remember food goes in, but news always comes out. This has been a fair best presentation, all right. So that's what we got going on with that. Now what are we going to next? Are we going to our news, our advice letter, what we want to do? Hardcore news or the advice letter? I figured we own a funny note. You tell me what we want to do y'all. Hey, Jay, thank you for pulling up on me. All right, let

me do this. How about I'm thinking to myself, hmm. Let me get an advice letter? All right? Now, I want to remind you guys that if you need some advice, to be sure to send me an email at Vitamin D at dawn Dai speaks dot com. That's Vitamin D at dawn Dai speaks dot com. Now when you send this letter, if you need relationship advice on your career, on on on trying new things, perhaps you need some such questions, I am here for you now. Vitamin D is all about shedding light on the good and the bad.

Because if you want to be better and you want to do better, well, you're going to have to be able to see better. So let's dive in and see what we got on this Vitamin D advice lett all right, subject for the love of money. Dear Dawn, I listened to you all the time, was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on this. I'm a twenty six year old college grad and I was just offered a

really good job. It's managing a Japanese software and schematics company in Las Vegas, and it pays three hundred and fifty thousand a year, and that's after taxes, full benefits to and they're throwing in six grand moving expenses as well because it's in another state. But the job is only for six years, though a bigger company will buy it up by them. Currently, I'm making one hundred k in my hometown doing the exact type of job. But I'm kind of afraid to go to a city where

it's just only me. I don't know anybody out there, and I've never left home and all of my friends and family before. It's three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year for six years in writing guaranteed. I'm torn? What should I do? Signed Lee Lee Lelee. I wish that was may mae girl. If you offer me that money much money in writing for sixty years every year? Shit, let me watch my moms. Yes, I'm taking I'd be at the text company parking lot, so dang on fest.

I tell them that the jet wasn't flying fast enough. That's why I gotta get out of Detroit and I ran the west of the way there. Okay, Yes, get that money. They opened up the front door office and all I have is my luggage. My luggage would already be underneath my arms. My new company badge is in my mouth, and I'd be asking where is the employee of breakroom? And what time does the taco truck pull up? I just need to know what is up? You a mess?

I listen, here's the thing. If you were not to take this big casino folding money, give me the job, and I I will show you what you can do with three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in a year that can make a sister like me and a limit voka twister. Real nice, don't play with me, play with yourself, but seriously, honestly, truthfully, can we talk. Wait a minute, Chuck, don't call in. Yeah, give me, I'm on my letter.

But all kidding aside, this is honestly your decision. But please, please don't let fear or going outside of your regular day to day comfort zone stop you from being great. Don't stop you out from mixing a new opportunity. There are so many people that I can't remind you that falls for that, you know, and let's look at the positive side of this. You know, my thing is is if you want to grow, you're gonna have to get

out of your comfort zones. If you want to be and do something that you've never been, well, honey, you're gonna have to do and be something that you've never been before. That's what it's all about. I mean, let's just really think about it. You're gonna be doing the same job before two hundred and fifty thousand dollars more. Good lord, Good lord, it's a lot of money. Can I say it's a lot of money because I want it?

Because I want it because I want it, not to mention your twenty six and that means you would technically be making over a million dollars and six years. They're paying for the move, and you got the company benefits too. And as far as not knowing anybody in Las Vegas,

here's an option. Take a really good girlfriend out to you, or any a real good friend that could possibly be your roommate, and have them watch the apartment while you at work and it be with you when you come back, or get your man or your other friend, whatever the case may be. Because with that amount of money, you could probably hide yourself a home staff. I mean, we are talking Las Vegas. I can see if I say a parents, I can see if I say in New York. Heck, I can even say if I can if you were

in LA and steal, that would be a lot of money. Okay, don't be afraid to take a chance. If I had never taken a chance on myself and went to Howard after, can I remind you after I got rejected, had I not fought for that, I would not have graduated with honors, and I would not have hosted my graduation. I would have never went on to work at WBLS. I would have never been had my article in the New York Times.

I would have never made this move to come out to LA, to work with the Steve Harvey Show Morning show, to be on a television show, and to be sitting right here on my own podcast at Premiere Networks, Vitamin D and Studio E. Don't play with me, play with yourself better. Yet, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself. You got greatness inside of you. And how many times are you gonna wait for somebody to bet on yourself?

If you don't even bet on yourself? Huh? At what point are you going to decide that I have to stop functioning and to live. Remember, things function, but people live, and it's time for you to live on purpose and for a purpose. And sometimes that purpose is just to see something the news. What little Marmay say. Oh, now, don't you dead, close your eyes. So take a chance on yourself, my dear. Okay, that's what life is all about. Now. I see I got some new people coming up in.

I see miss Brenda, and I hey, miss Brenda, it's don like the breaking day. And hey, Chuck, now, Chuck, if you want to call in for a quick announcement, I want to get to some PSAs and then I want to bust open some news. So I gonna give a reminder real quick. If anybody gets tuning in and you want to pull up on me and give me a call, call me right now before I move to the next thing. The studio line is panned on the screen. It's an eight to one eight A four six one

fifty four thirty two. I said eight one eight four six one fifty four thirty two. Now let me know what you're trying to do. Boo, Hey, don't play with me, playing with yourself. Okay, you know I need to come back in the studio with my pineapples out my mom. The reason why I had my pine of was because what do I say? If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready?

And I said, but of course, of course, And I want to encourage you if you have any community news or information to send me an email Vitamin D at Dawn d aispeaks dot com. That's Vitamin D at Dawn dai speaks dot com. One more thing, you know, we are entering covid and flu season I want to remind you that if you are looking for

some new COVID tests, it is now open. The USPS is now accepting for people to place their order for free at home COVID nineteen tests. As of late September, households in the US are eligible to order up to four one, two, three four free at home tests from USPS, and all you need to know about the order is that each order includes four individual rapid antigen COVID nineteen tests, including extended shelf life and updated expiration dates. Orders will

ship free starting on the thirtieth. I already said mine, true, I did it right. When I was prepping for the SHAW, I said, grorel, let me get these free tests. Who's out there? Have you been affected by COVID recently? I mean, what's going on? Uh? You know, I know some people are still dealing with long COVID. But are we still afraid of COVID how we were before? Everybody kind of on the chiopiel. I'm just curious. Let me know. Well, I want to encourage you. I am about to drive

into some news. After I finished the news, I want to say, hey, call me in the studio and we could talk. Eight one eight four six one fifty four thirty two eight one eight four six one fifty four thirty two. And right now let's break into some news. Wow, this is happening in California. California and Governor Gavin Newsom veto's the build who helps black families to help black

families reclaim taking land. So Governor Gavin Newsom veto the bild on Wednesday that would have helped black families reclaim or be compensated for property that was just unjustly taken by the government. The bill would have created a process for families to follow claim with the state if they believe the government sees their property through eminent domain due

to discriminary motives and without providing fair compensation. The proposal by itself would not have been able to take full effect because lawmakers blocked another bill to create a reparations agency that would have reviewed the claims. Now Newsome states, I thank the author for this commitment to readdressing past racial injustices. However, this bill tasks a non existing state emergency to carry out its various provisions and requirements, making

it impossible to implement. How are we feeling, are y'all? Listening. How are we feeling? It says, what else? Oh, it says the veto dealt a blow to a key part of a package of reparation bills the California Legislative Black Caucus back this year in an effort to help the state atone for decades of policies that drove racial disparities

for Black Americans. The Caucus sent other proposals to new some Desk that would require the state to formally apologize for slavery and its lingering impacts, improve protections against hair discriminations for athletes, and combat the banning of books in state prisons. Is that enough? What's up? Is it enough? I mean, we are really talking about reparations, and I feel like it's a conversation that's constantly ongoing. Is there a such thing as reparations? What dollar am out? Can

you put? And how are we going to prove it? Jay said? I said, heck, I want my check too, and I want my health, And there's a lot of things. It's like, it's not even just money. It's about the trauma, the PTSD, a lot of the these illnesses and sicknesses that we are here because of the amount of stress the cortisolt in our body. Because if you a mother and you got a son, you hoping your baby gonna

make it back. If you sitting there, if you going in your house and you watching TV, you're hoping you're gonna watch the end of the park group. Heck, if you said I want to get some Vitamin D and I want to jog outside, you gotta worry about somebody pulling up and you getting shot. Then let you own some property off the beach, and then a century later the government gonna come back and say, oh, I think this is yours. But whatever provisions was in place, you

couldn't even keep it to get go. So when you talk about reparations, how much money is it really gonna be and willing to make an impact? I know I just went off. I got too excited, But I'm just curious at what point how much is gonna be enough? Now? Senator Stephen Bradford, he introduced the Eminent Domain Bill, like I mentioned after Los Angeles area officials in twenty twenty two returned the beachfront property, Yeah to the black couple. Yet that's what I was talking about at Bruce's Beach.

That proposal. He said. He continued he considered this as a crucial and I quote framework for reparations and correcting a historic wrong. Bradford also introduced a bill this year to create an agency to how black families research their family lineage and implement reparation programs that become law, and

a measure to create a fund for reparations legislations. Okay, but Black Caucus members block the reparations Agency and fund bills from receiving a final bolt in the Assembly during the last during the last week of the legislation session last month, the Caucus cited concerns that the legislature would not have oversight over the agency's operations and declined to comment further on the fund on the reparation's fund bill because it wasn't part of the Caucus's reparations priority package.

How do you feel about that? What do you feel about the bill being vetoed? Are you somebody that's actlessly looking for your reparations? I don't know. Next up, you know the Today Show? Right? Well, Holdah tell me why she's stepping down, and I want to dive into along with some other CEOs of companies that have set down.

So Holdah a fixture on the NBC for more than two decades, says she will leave her morning perch of the Today Show early next year, telling staffers and I quote it's time in the memotory team, and later, in an emotional on air revealed Thursday, Holda said her sixtieth birthday is this summer and help trigger the departure. I saw it all so clearly, she says, my broadcast career has been beyond meaningful. A new decade of my life lies ahead, and now my daughters and my mom need

and deserve a bigger slice time of my time. Pie. You gotta know yourself and you have to know what you want now. Holda has co anchored the first two hours of Today with Savannah Guthi since twenty eighteen. I know I mispronounced her name, filling in after Matt Lauer was fired amidst sexual harassment allegations. She continued to co host the fourth hour of the morning show with Jenna Bush Hagger, having previously hosted it alongside Catholic League Gifford.

Hoda first joined the NBC News as a correspondent for Dateline back in nineteen ninety eight, and later joined the Today's Show in two thousand and seven. Now she has two daughters, Haley who is seven, and Hoped that who is five. You know, sometimes you gotta go to grown, but what if we don't know why exactly you're going? Which leads me. Have you noticed the influx of CEOs

that have been stepping down at major companies? Now? There's rumored in speculations of a variety of things that can contribute to this, But I'm only here to report the news, not make it up. In the first three months of this year, more than six hundred chief executive officers have left their jobs, either through retirement, resignation, or being forced out. That's fifty percent increase from the first quarter of twenty

twenty three. Now, according to the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, the company's Andy Challenger says the big uptick may be linked to the COVID pandemic. Let me stop, okay, let me continue on. He told Marketplace earlier this year that companies were low were loth to let go, loth to let go of their leaders in the middle of

a crisis. What do you think about that? Other reasons for the increased tone river at the top are the retirement of baby boomers and increased stockholder pressure to navigate difficult issues including inflation and supply chain disruptions, as well as social concerns. Now here's a list of some of the CEOs that have stepped down. I want to call I want you to call in because I want to talk about this or perhaps some other stuff. Kevin Lyles

three hundred Electra Entertainment. Now, as you may be familiar or unfamiliar, Kevin Lyles has been with the parent company Warner since two thousand and four. In the past year he has been a defender of Sean Diddy Coombs, and some inside the company say Lyle's exit could be a direct result. You also have this CEO of Starbucks who step down, Boeing Paramount Global hurts John Donahure with Nike, the CEO of Warner Music Japan. We have Randy Goodman,

CEO of Sony Music Nashville, and MATEO of Combody. Now, what do you think is leading to all these ceo stepping down? This comes amiss now that I'm thinking about when things just drop ship. You know that Kevin Hart had a restaurant, what was it called the Vegan restaurant. It was a fast food, vegan restaurant. Let me see, I'm googling it right now. I guess that's the benefit when you can just be sitting hearthhouse. One day I looked up that I had gotten food from there once.

But one day I just looked up and out there it said that as of today, all of the restaurants shut down. Now, there's speculation that Kevin Hart may have had some investors, investors that may be entangled in a few things that may have been a result of the shutdown. What do you think about that? Is it something to be curious or to squench your eyes that Listen, I'm not making the news. I'm just reporting it. Now. Hear this happened locally in Los Angeles. Talk to me about this,

all right. A woman at Disneyland was arrested in front of her two children. Now, before I get in this story, the first thing I thought when I saw the headline, I said, what could a mother with her children at Disneyland possibly due to get arrested. I mean, it's where all the magic happens, right. Well, A mother was arrested at Disneyland after failing to show her id to police officers at the theme park and is speaking out on

social media now. According to the Anaheim Police Department, Jessina Diaz, who's twenty six year old twenty six years old of Torrance, was taken into custody and cited for obstructing a peace officer for refusing to provide identification now. A video of Diaz and her two daughters being escorted out of the park quickly went viral on social media. In the video, one of her daughter's screams, are you to me? In Spanish?

It means help me now. Disneyland officials sold KTLA that the woman allegedly tried to bring her children into the park without paying for tickets. Official said that the woman was one cooperative with Disneyland resort security teams and the Anaheim Police Department. Was later engaged on TikTok. Daz, who posts under the username ds dot v eight, shared that what has happened, what has been posted online is full of lies and that she will share her side of

the story soon. The mother also threatened to file a lawsuit against Disneyland now. In another post, Diaz shared a clip of her two daughters riding a carousel at an outdoor shopping mall with the caption the worst way to end the month. Thankfully my daughters are safe. I would

die if anything ever happened to them. Disneyland allows children under the age of three to visit Disneyland or Disneyland or Disney California Adventure for free if they are accompanying a guest with a valid park ticket and theme park reservation. Multiple media outlets have identified ds. KTLA contacted the Anaheim Police Department for conformation, but didn't hear back in time for publication. Got dog. I first saw this on Instagram.

I'm gonna be honest with you, and I wasn't no. I saw it on KTLA and I wasn't gonna report it. But once I saw the video on Instagram and went viral, I just said, oh my gosh. And then I'm looking at the comments because you know, that really sparks the dialogue. And one thing that people were commenting on the fact is why did she put her children in this situation? Manie? If you knew that it costs money to go to Disneyland and you cannot afford it, why would you try

to sneak your children to Disneyland? Then? Somebody else commented, why did they let her in the first place? You could visibly see that our children were over three? And then, of course the overarching thing, what mother? What person deserves to be handcuffed at Disneyland in front of their children? Would it have been too much to just walk around? Now? I didn't see the video or any of the content that happened beforehand. I don't know if she got aggressive,

I don't know if she's five. But again, how much you're gonna do with your two children? Listen. I don't make up the news. I'm just reporting it. But I'd love to hear from you. I want to open up these phone lines, pull up on me, call me, let me know that you're here, whether you want to comment on something about the PSAs, whether you want to comment on some about the news, anything that has been going on. Call me in the studio. Eight one eight four six

one fifty four thirty two. Again, that's eight one, eight four six one fifty four thirty two. We're talking what's new and what's true to you? Boo hai No, but that's crazy, that's really insane when you think about the fact that a mother could be actually arrested in front of her children. And more so, does that mean that we have failed ourselves as a community? Are we standing by each other? At what point do we say enough

is enough? Or do you side with the fact that you feel like she's wrong for simply bringing her children in when she knew that she couldn't pay for it. And it's like, well, looking at it in hindsight, what kind of trauma is this causing with the kids? Huh? What does this look like? And furthermore, if this was you, what would you do? Hey, Toya on the Move. Good to hear from you, speaking of which I didn't seem as Toya, but I was. I stopped by her house yesterday.

You know, Toya has been a staple in our community for years.
