Speaker 1: time for Stella My goodness. All right, we got more
Speaker 1: coming up next with a breakfast club, the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Everybody in cj Envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne the guy, we
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in
Speaker 1: the building with guests, that's right. We got Jim Jones yea.
Speaker 1: And on the sheet that said celebrity jeweler Alex time.
Speaker 1: That's what it says on the sheet. We got Freaky
Speaker 1: Zekie here as well. So Jim, So Jim, you've been
Speaker 1: in the news a lot recently. Let's let's start with
Speaker 1: the first of all. El Copple, El copol Copple. You
Speaker 1: got me nervous, damn bad. He thought I was going somewhere.
Speaker 1: I was going nervous up here. The album is out.
Speaker 1: The album is is one of the dopest albums I've heard.
Speaker 1: Oh year long, Thank you, thank you very much. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that that sounds very dope coming for you, my brother. Now,
Speaker 1: when I was talking to you, were saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: the album kind of surprised you because so many people
Speaker 1: were hitting you like, yo, this is probably the best
Speaker 1: album I heard in years. Yes, I've been getting numerous
Speaker 1: amounts of calls from both people that I'm cool with
Speaker 1: it and people that I wouldn't think would call me
Speaker 1: to congratulate me on anything, and it kind of took
Speaker 1: me for a surprise. But for the most part, it's
Speaker 1: been like real substantial people from the industry, like even
Speaker 1: people that run labels and stuff like that, like the
Speaker 1: presidents and stuff. So it's just been like surprising of
Speaker 1: how many people really been giving me my kudos for
Speaker 1: this album and things like that. That hasn't been a
Speaker 1: a record exact called me for a big major deal
Speaker 1: yet though, but they tell me I'll have one of
Speaker 1: the best albums they heard in a while. So hopefully
Speaker 1: that are turned into one of them calling me to
Speaker 1: do some business with me and we could do an
Speaker 1: even dope album coming up money because most people don't
Speaker 1: want everybody's talking about, oh, I don't need a major
Speaker 1: label deal and I'm independent and you're also an executive.
Speaker 1: It's tricky. I mean at some point you, at some
Speaker 1: point when you're dealing with this industry, you should get
Speaker 1: involved with a major label. Was a lot of different
Speaker 1: reasons for it doesn't mean that they take in your identity,
Speaker 1: your creativity, taking your independence from you. That all depends
Speaker 1: on how you set up your deal. But I mean,
Speaker 1: for an independent standpoint, from these young artists, they kind
Speaker 1: of found a loophole for making money. So once they
Speaker 1: found that loophole, which was called streams, and they've been
Speaker 1: able to make their own money, they kind of got
Speaker 1: to their head because they really don't need a label
Speaker 1: if you think of it like that. But if you
Speaker 1: have the eight picks of your game doing independent numbers,
Speaker 1: and then you can go to a label and they
Speaker 1: can give you sixty to ten million dollars and you
Speaker 1: can structure your deal where they're just a partner and
Speaker 1: they don't own they don't own you outright, and you
Speaker 1: could do it like it's definitely worth it. I'm going
Speaker 1: to get the ten million dollar bag one hundred percent. Now.
Speaker 1: Question we reported this is this two or falce. You
Speaker 1: guys are going back on love and hip hop? Um,
Speaker 1: Chrissy is going back on Love and Hip Hop. Shout
Speaker 1: the Chris baby girl on. That's amazing that she will
Speaker 1: be on Love and Hip Hop. I told him I'll
Speaker 1: jump on a couple of episodes. That's like where it
Speaker 1: all started. That, yes, it's very interesting. But you know,
Speaker 1: she she did great business with him owner. They came
Speaker 1: to a hell of an agreement, which it kind of
Speaker 1: made me smile. How she did her business and it
Speaker 1: was kind of dope. I had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: I made sure I stayed out of it because I'm
Speaker 1: more emotionally tied to it than anything else. And you know,
Speaker 1: she was able to separate the two the motion in
Speaker 1: the business and she got a dope as deal done.
Speaker 1: So you know, look forward to her on a Love
Speaker 1: and Hip hop. You have a lot of businesses. You have,
Speaker 1: of course, part older of saucy shows man Alex todd Up,
Speaker 1: we're just here. He's here now. Alex is a is
Speaker 1: a very dope dude in this industry. You know he
Speaker 1: started with Drury. But to be involved in this uh
Speaker 1: We've business was one of the best things that could
Speaker 1: have happened to me and in my career right now,
Speaker 1: like I mean, the wee game is the whole next
Speaker 1: level of what's going on when it comes to making money.
Speaker 1: It should Tommy of real estate, like, it's it's no
Speaker 1: going back. It's just green on green, Green make screen,
Speaker 1: Green make screen. Yes, you pought owner of a football team.
Speaker 1: You do a lot of stuff out there that that
Speaker 1: brings it a lot of money. So when we reported
Speaker 1: a story, we see the story that popped out that
Speaker 1: said they foreclosed on Jim Jones's home. Yes, so I said,
Speaker 1: if if they foreclosed on the home, there's a reason
Speaker 1: for it. I said it property isn't worth them keeping it.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I was like, well, it might
Speaker 1: be that they owe more than what the house is worth.
Speaker 1: So you just let it. Get four clothes done. Because
Speaker 1: we've seen that happen. But you explain to us, Explain
Speaker 1: to you what like what happened with that story. It's
Speaker 1: a property, man, We got a few properties. I mean what,
Speaker 1: I'm homeless now I'm living. I'm living in the shelter
Speaker 1: for rich people. It's called a mini mansion. You're I'm
Speaker 1: cool anything, I'm homeless and I'm broke. That's what the
Speaker 1: people need to know. That's what they need to know
Speaker 1: you heard. That's what they need do, not his life. Man.
Speaker 1: You know, you make you make consciant decisions when it
Speaker 1: comes to doing certain things, and I guess said. The
Speaker 1: decision that I made with that was I didn't really
Speaker 1: it wasn't really worth it at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and it's not really a big deal. But you're dealing
Speaker 1: with the media. They blow everything up tenfold. Nobody has
Speaker 1: common sense anymore like that. They make it seem like
Speaker 1: they said, oh, Jim Jones and his family were in
Speaker 1: the shelter, they looking bad. And I hit that part.
Speaker 1: That's what that's what the media paces to be. They
Speaker 1: blow everything out of him. You say one little thing
Speaker 1: in the media and then it goes out of control.
Speaker 1: But now it's cool. I love it, man, Shout out
Speaker 1: the Jersey. I'm a new Jersey and you know you're
Speaker 1: having fun out that, all right? We got more coming
Speaker 1: up next with a breakfast club. Rudolf the red nose
Speaker 1: out of every side, you know, and if you ever
Speaker 1: saw him, you wouldn't say cool. Breakfast club is also,
Speaker 1: what's your relationship with fifty? Said? Somebody asked me the
Speaker 1: other day, was like, Yo, what's so with fifty times,
Speaker 1: I'm like they just playing what's what you? And fifty
Speaker 1: one jo a little too much? This is real or not?
Speaker 1: I wish I could be in a position to really
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, but unfortunately my life
Speaker 1: has been hectic and it's you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But where I'm from, I do know people that will
Speaker 1: be called real is a stand up man. You don't
Speaker 1: try to tarnish other people's name by doing bullshitantic there's
Speaker 1: consequences and repercussions for certain things like that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like from where I'm from, So I'll
Speaker 1: leave it at that. But for the most part, everybody
Speaker 1: know my life is real. I've been doing this but
Speaker 1: way too long for anybody to play with me and
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, some people think life is
Speaker 1: a game, so we leave it like that. You know,
Speaker 1: when you slop box, sometimes it gets out of hand, right.
Speaker 1: It starts off with slop boxing, but then a lot
Speaker 1: of the times it turns into a real fight. That's
Speaker 1: how it is. You know what I'm saying. It could playful,
Speaker 1: but I do want to say I missed my brother.
Speaker 1: Mel Murder shouts to Mel Murder, keep your head on
Speaker 1: then I love you to death. Now, it seems like
Speaker 1: every time Jim tries to get himself out and you
Speaker 1: try to put on a shirt and tie and do
Speaker 1: the right the thing could be positive, they try to
Speaker 1: pull you back. I mean, this happens with natural progression
Speaker 1: you do, You're never gonna get a clear shot at
Speaker 1: what you want to do. If you don't go through
Speaker 1: obstacles and and hop over fences and brick walls and
Speaker 1: things like that, you're never gonna get to where you
Speaker 1: gotta go. You gotta expect that they threw stones at
Speaker 1: Jesus when he was already on a cross show. Maybe
Speaker 1: with six NINEE. It seemed like you never were feeling
Speaker 1: six nine from the door. I have no comment on
Speaker 1: none of that. Now, has the police messed with you
Speaker 1: because of that and what he said? Anything like that?
Speaker 1: I have a new comment on none of that. So
Speaker 1: are you're good and clear? I have no comment on
Speaker 1: none of that. It might be an ongoing situations. Good,
Speaker 1: that's all. So what's what's next for Jim Joe? I'm
Speaker 1: actually about to drop a new project um already. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think people feeling me feeling me enough, So
Speaker 1: I called Ghazzi last week. Gazzi he owns an empire.
Speaker 1: Now I told him he need to do a fourth
Speaker 1: call of Blitz. I don't think people feeling my energy enough,
Speaker 1: so they got the term you gotta keep their foot,
Speaker 1: keep your foot on their neck. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do to keep applying pressure. So I'm about
Speaker 1: to lock in the studio for like thirty days and
Speaker 1: do a strong term Records, UM, trying to release it
Speaker 1: the first or second week of December. UM. If I
Speaker 1: don't get everything together the way I wanted, I definitely
Speaker 1: would put out a record in a video and things
Speaker 1: like that. But I got some sizzle. I'm ready. I've
Speaker 1: been I've been likely in the booth, spawn with myself
Speaker 1: and things like that, and you know, when it comes
Speaker 1: to making music for me, it's like homework. And I
Speaker 1: always hated homework, but you know, you get the best
Speaker 1: results when you sat down and did the homework and
Speaker 1: went to school and study for the test and things
Speaker 1: like that. So that's where I'm at with right now.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go back in and have some fun
Speaker 1: on Besides that, it's the music in the weed right now.
Speaker 1: That's what I've been putting all my energy into and
Speaker 1: both of them been paying off more than ever, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm happy to still be in this game.
Speaker 1: Twenty some are years later. I've probably seen everybody come
Speaker 1: and go. It just feels good to be here. Get
Speaker 1: respected by your piers, young boys. They always showed me love,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be humble as I get as
Speaker 1: I get older, I was a little bit wild when
Speaker 1: I was coming up. As you can see some of them,
Speaker 1: things still come back to haunt me. So you know,
Speaker 1: I say my prayers every night like everybody else. But
Speaker 1: for the most part, I'm happy. My family's happy. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants from them, and everybody's comfortable. You know, my son
Speaker 1: is happy, my lady's happy, my mom's just happy. Just
Speaker 1: got a new dog. He's happy. American Bullies like a
Speaker 1: pit bull, but they call him American Bullies. A blue
Speaker 1: nose that blue eyes, so you know it's the regular.
Speaker 1: I actually haven't got to speak to Juells. I just
Speaker 1: I just spoke to tw him yesterday, Like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: he's been gone and I haven't spoke to him yet.
Speaker 1: And things like that. But Zeke has actually seen him
Speaker 1: in there. He's super good. He got like the Arab
Speaker 1: bid right now, you know what I'm saying. But he alright,
Speaker 1: he's focused on what you gotta do. He say, he
Speaker 1: got his third eye wide open and he ready to
Speaker 1: shake when you get home. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: dip shack. You know again. I think of a story
Speaker 1: that he told me, A long time story. I would
Speaker 1: never forget. What story you gotta tell it? Now, what story?
Speaker 1: What story? Tell it? It doesn't matter. Let's go. He

Speaker 1: banned from Uber twice. He and he band, he got
Speaker 1: Nila band fluted DJ nilas rom Are. It's not my fault, though,
Speaker 1: why why not? Because these guys trying to make me
Speaker 1: get out of the car not happening. Well, Wax, I
Speaker 1: was just telling you, you know, it'll be one hundred
Speaker 1: and four degrees outside. You have on timberlands and gloves
Speaker 1: in your back pocket. Definitely, I'm always ready. How many
Speaker 1: Uber drivers beating up six from last? Why would beat
Speaker 1: beat that cellf up didn't beat this over they hit themselves. No, listen,
Speaker 1: when you get out the car and try to take
Speaker 1: me out the car and beat you up, tell him
Speaker 1: about the time the guy kick you out the car
Speaker 1: and throw your suitcase out there. I don't even know
Speaker 1: see on my street and where I live that it
Speaker 1: was like real dark. So I guess he didn't want
Speaker 1: to go up in that street with me. If Wax
Speaker 1: is six foot six foot six, you beat him up.
Speaker 1: Wax is six foot six, muscular like he's from the
Speaker 1: Wakanda movie Where's Timberlands? And you can't you can't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm like a nice guy at though. Shoot. So he
Speaker 1: asked you to get out, You got out, and then
Speaker 1: he drove up a little back. Yeah, I didn't even
Speaker 1: close my door all the way to go off, went
Speaker 1: down the street through my seat, takes out of the
Speaker 1: car and bounce a call. I'm like, yo, what is this?
Speaker 1: I'm always I'm sorry, good guy, so somebody, But every
Speaker 1: time something happened, I always think of Charlotte Maine playing
Speaker 1: around anyway, So I'll kind of give guys a little leeway.
Speaker 1: Sways on you that the Uber driver was in cahoots
Speaker 1: with Charlotte anytime, anytime something happened, I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: Charlottegne got sid and do with this? What kind of
Speaker 1: logic is? That's why I don't always just punch people
Speaker 1: in the face. No more. Come like Charlotmagne put you
Speaker 1: up to this? Right? And what you mean was wrong with?
Speaker 1: How do I know these? So? He beat up six
Speaker 1: Uber drivers in the past two years? Your exactly? So
Speaker 1: you feel bad that you banned from Uber? No, I
Speaker 1: use anybody else to you got n I got right
Speaker 1: back on, she got back on. You got somebody. I
Speaker 1: think that anybody who beats up t Uber drivers in
Speaker 1: the past two years deserves to be man from That's correct,
Speaker 1: all other cost services. Let's go to the full life.
Speaker 1: I might have to hide your face before they get
Speaker 1: banned from left. Hey, good morning. What's the craziest thing
Speaker 1: that happened in the Uber? Wow? I'm an Uber driver
Speaker 1: here in Cleveland. Because I'm calling out from Cleveland. I
Speaker 1: got a pair of siblings that politely asked me to
Speaker 1: join them as they pulled in my back feet to
Speaker 1: female back seat. No, a brother and a sister. Can
Speaker 1: you guess their rap? Caucasian? Wow? Did you join them?
Speaker 1: The brother and sister was having sex in the back seat.
Speaker 1: It was a brother and a sister, and I drove
Speaker 1: them to like it was like thirty minutes away to
Speaker 1: like the suburban area, and like while we was approaching,
Speaker 1: they were getting more comfortable and they're like, you want
Speaker 1: to come? You know, I'm like, how do you know?
Speaker 1: They were brother and sister for real? Though, Well that's

Speaker 1: off the highway to this little club. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: looking for the people that order, and I'm looking for
Speaker 1: the guy there. So this a couple of like trumps out.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they just letter whatever. So the
Speaker 1: dude was like trunks, they trunk. He's like, man, if

Speaker 1: it on, like right next to me, so I'm seeing driving.
Speaker 1: I don't keep peeking over like he's looking at me
Speaker 1: like you don'na mind. Right, I'm like, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: he rubbing on it. She's looking at me like you're
Speaker 1: gonna mind the uber. The Uber guy watches. I'm like
Speaker 1: truckt man, I don't want to watch on me. I'm bad.
Speaker 1: You should you should have told him get through what
Speaker 1: you need to be. You should have told him if
Speaker 1: you don't make her orgasm, I'm gonna give you a
Speaker 1: star reading man. I was sitting there bugging. I'm driving heavy,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They both loloated on the
Speaker 1: side and I'm like, man and travel, I'm licking. And
Speaker 1: the thing was, I was like, nobody's gonna believe this start.
Speaker 1: You're gonna think I made it up. Man, I had
Speaker 1: to record the man. I couldn't believe me, even I'm like, god, evidence,
Speaker 1: I got evidence proved. It was my first my food.
Speaker 1: When I swore I can't make the story up, I
Speaker 1: got one hundred and fifty dollars pit for mine. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. I feel like that's illegal, but you
Speaker 1: can send the breakfast club am at gmail dot com. Yeah,
Speaker 1: someone who works at us actually had their over rating
Speaker 1: lower because they called the uber for someone and that
Speaker 1: person ended up having a sexual incident in the uber.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to call their name out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they actually um uh in the uber. Really Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a producer, Dan, I'm not saying standing next to me though,
Speaker 1: then come here, put your lips on the my what happening?
Speaker 1: You got topped off in the uber? No? I got
Speaker 1: the ouber for my buddy, and I woke up the
Speaker 1: next morning and I was wondering why there was all
Speaker 1: these complaints to my uber. Huh? And I had like
Speaker 1: a two point five rating after this, And the driver
Speaker 1: said that my buddy got from in the backseat and
Speaker 1: got it everywhere everywhere. Wow, you know what, everywhere everywhere?
Speaker 1: You know, who needs to get a one star rating
Speaker 1: in that situation? The girl why she didn't swallow? You
Speaker 1: know what? Kind of what kind of what the hell
Speaker 1: you're going on? Keep swallow? You know what? Keep it like.
Speaker 1: We have more coming up next. It's the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are the
Speaker 1: breakfast club. We got uh twenty twenty president who candidate
Speaker 1: in the building. Very well spoken, very well spoken, as
Speaker 1: we've heard your book is. Yeah, good morning everybody. It's
Speaker 1: really good to be back. I didn't see the first
Speaker 1: time you came in. I was actually on vacation. I
Speaker 1: know you took off, man, I came up and you went, so,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll let you slide in. I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: appreciate you've been here. This morning. We saw man Bloomberg
Speaker 1: apologize to you for calling you well spoken? Well, why
Speaker 1: is that ands thing for white people who may not know?
Speaker 1: It's almost as if, and we heard this in the
Speaker 1: Obama's first campaign, where he was called cleaning articulate. It's
Speaker 1: almost like many white folks are sort of surprised that
Speaker 1: an African American man can can speak well. And you
Speaker 1: don't hear it. You don't see this kind of surprise,
Speaker 1: Oh he's well spoken. They don't see that say that
Speaker 1: about white men. But it's a trope that we've heard
Speaker 1: for generations about African Americans. And I mean, I love history.
Speaker 1: Read about everybody from Frederick Douglas to book or T.
Speaker 1: Washington talking about people surprised that they that they're so
Speaker 1: smart or so well spoken. So it's insulting. And you know,
Speaker 1: you can't be running for the highest office in the
Speaker 1: land making mistakes, is all right, I have no we
Speaker 1: all do. We've all said things we regret, but to
Speaker 1: run for the nomination of the Democratic Party, and if
Speaker 1: you're going to be doing things that are insulting, dragging
Speaker 1: up actually painful kind of words like that, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to win the presidency. It's as simple
Speaker 1: as that, because it is you cannot win the presidency
Speaker 1: if you cannot energize and activate the black community and folk.
Speaker 1: Don't understand that Hillary Clinton, and this, by the way,
Speaker 1: she wasn't it wasn't her. She was dealing with voter suppression.
Speaker 1: She was dealing with the Russians literally targeting African American voters.
Speaker 1: But all that, but the black turnout that was down
Speaker 1: from twelve to sixteen, eight hundred thousand to a million
Speaker 1: votes in those three states that we lost by seventy
Speaker 1: seven thousand votes combined Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania seventy seven
Speaker 1: thousand vote differentials. If we had won those three states,
Speaker 1: it would be President President Clinton right now. There was
Speaker 1: a voter diminution of black voters dramatically. In fact, that
Speaker 1: Milwaukee alone, the activists there told me about seventy thousand
Speaker 1: less blacks voted than had voted the four years before.
Speaker 1: So this election is critical. The African American vote is essential,
Speaker 1: and you add to that, then I'm not in this
Speaker 1: just to win the presidency. I want to take back.
Speaker 1: I want to send Mitch McConnell for the back bench.
Speaker 1: And if you think about the Senate seats that are
Speaker 1: up that we have to win North Carolina's Senate seat,
Speaker 1: South Carolina Senate seats. There are actually two Senate seats
Speaker 1: in Georgia right now, not to mention Arizona. These are
Speaker 1: states where the black and brown vote is and so
Speaker 1: imagine a Democratic nominee. Uh saying things are so insulting
Speaker 1: to the black community, dragging this up. It's just it's
Speaker 1: it's it's not gonna work. Well, what if you are
Speaker 1: well spoken, I should how should white preson described that?
Speaker 1: If well? As you are well spoken? So, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I appreciate that, but you know, I don't
Speaker 1: mind folks pointing out a lot of facts about me
Speaker 1: that that are have distinguished me in my career, and uh,
Speaker 1: to say that I'm well spoken is not the thing
Speaker 1: that you hear, you know, necessarily folks saying about other candidates,
Speaker 1: Really are they what are they bringing up about the
Speaker 1: other white candidates when when it's being talked about. So look,
Speaker 1: it was said, it was done. Uh you know, call
Speaker 1: it a learning moment. But I got work to do,
Speaker 1: so I'm not I'm not spending too much time. You
Speaker 1: did you did endorse me at Bloomberg? I did? Oh absolutely,
Speaker 1: he was the architect of stopping frisk he was, And
Speaker 1: and uh, why would you endorse someone with that type policy,
Speaker 1: that's that's a racist pilot. Yeah, look, we we You're
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of black mayors right now endorsing Mayor
Speaker 1: Bloomberg because you know, when I was coming up, when
Speaker 1: I first got elected and Newark was in a crisis,
Speaker 1: it was him and a few other mayors around the
Speaker 1: country that came forward and gave me really practical support.
Speaker 1: He was somebody that said, my whole administration is open
Speaker 1: to you, and we came in to learn about everything
Speaker 1: from his office of Entrepreneurialism. He stepped forward and helped
Speaker 1: us show him strategies to build affordable housing. So when
Speaker 1: it came to the tacticians of being mayor, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of incredible things that he helped those with. And
Speaker 1: I'm not shy to say it at all, but obviously
Speaker 1: the policing practices or something that's absolutely unacceptable, and the
Speaker 1: way he defended them, even when he saw the evidence
Speaker 1: presented to him as unexcited. Do you see him lie
Speaker 1: of Gail King? Another dance said that nobody ever even
Speaker 1: asked him about it until he ran for president. I
Speaker 1: did not see that. Yeah, that is Evin the same
Speaker 1: interview when he called you, I was spoken, Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that's messed up because there's a lot, a whole lot
Speaker 1: of tape of folks confronting him, and I saw a
Speaker 1: lot of the activists. Do you think his apology was
Speaker 1: bull it was just just because he's running for president.
Speaker 1: You have to you have to ask him. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And again, this to me is we're in the New
Speaker 1: York City area, so we live with this for a
Speaker 1: long time. And for me right now, the focus is,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like running a I used to run
Speaker 1: track and my coach used to tell me when I
Speaker 1: line up for the hurdles, don't look to your leftic
Speaker 1: You're right, deal with your own obstacles, you know, get
Speaker 1: get to the Finnish line. And so I'm trying to
Speaker 1: spend much most of my time talking about my candidacy
Speaker 1: and what we're trying to achieve, because especially as Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend my time criticizing them when
Speaker 1: we all have to get together. We got one shot
Speaker 1: to make Donald Trump on one term president, and so
Speaker 1: my focus is getting getting across the finish line as
Speaker 1: being the nominee, because I think I'm the best in
Speaker 1: this field to activate that rainbow coalition, that Obama coalition,
Speaker 1: to begin to heal not just our party, but the
Speaker 1: country so that we can actually start dealing with the
Speaker 1: big problems we have that can only be solved if
Speaker 1: we start finding ways to mobilize the whole nation to
Speaker 1: deal with him. Because folks, this is going to be
Speaker 1: a very difficult decade ahead of us. Climate change alone.
Speaker 1: If you see the last New End report, the predictions
Speaker 1: they made, things are accelerating at a rate that scientists
Speaker 1: didn't anticipate. And any big thing that we've done in
Speaker 1: this country, from going to the moon to beating the
Speaker 1: Nazis has taken a mobilization beyond the lines that divide us.
Speaker 1: You had to have by party. I mean, my grandmother,
Speaker 1: black working class woman, talk to me about during the
Speaker 1: war effort, her victory gardens and her buying war bonds
Speaker 1: because it took the whole country to beat a global threat. Well,
Speaker 1: this is what it's going to take to deal with
Speaker 1: the challenges we have right now. And so I'm running
Speaker 1: a race not to tear down other Democrats. I watched
Speaker 1: that script in the last election where we couldn't even
Speaker 1: unify our party to beat Donald Trump. I'm not just
Speaker 1: trying to beat Donald Trump. I think that's the floor.
Speaker 1: It's not the ceiling. It gets us out of the valley,
Speaker 1: it doesn't get us in the mountaintop. So I'm trying
Speaker 1: to run a campaign. I always say you can't campaign
Speaker 1: wrong and then think you're going to govern right. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to run a campaign, a positive campaign, not spending
Speaker 1: my time talking about other people, but spending my time
Speaker 1: trying to inspire other folks to win a big election,
Speaker 1: wave election that wins the Senate seats, House seats, state legislators,
Speaker 1: governors seats, so that we can have the people in place,
Speaker 1: because it's not about me, it's about we to actually
Speaker 1: get the kind of change that we're going to need
Speaker 1: immediately on jump to turn this country around. But more,
Speaker 1: even bigger than that, to trying to planet around. All right,
Speaker 1: we got more with Cory Booker. When we come back,
Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Torning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the Gay We are
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Were still kicking in a Cory Booker. Now,
Speaker 1: you talked earlier about you said, Bloomberg opened up his
Speaker 1: staff for you, and you learned a lot from him
Speaker 1: about low income and housing and things like that. But
Speaker 1: what plan do you have to help people be able
Speaker 1: to own homes and create generation of wealth and to
Speaker 1: start from a place where they can get a loan
Speaker 1: and they can get a home and all those things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So first of all, I love that you start there,
Speaker 1: because often when people talk about especially with black people,
Speaker 1: they talk about us as if we're a problem to
Speaker 1: be solved and not understanding that when we create equal
Speaker 1: pathways to wealth, it seems like it's prosperity. I mean,
Speaker 1: when I talk to them, the best economists they talk
Speaker 1: about you want to judge how what kind of jobs
Speaker 1: are going to be created? Look at the housing market.
Speaker 1: I mean people are buying homes, and so I actually
Speaker 1: start with that. I want to raise the minimum wage
Speaker 1: for fifteen dollars an hour. But people in my community,
Speaker 1: as a guy who lives in a black and brown
Speaker 1: community that's struggling around the poverty line, you know, folkarn
Speaker 1: aspiring to make minimum wage. Yeah, they want to. They
Speaker 1: want to make they want to if they're working minimum wage,
Speaker 1: they want to make a fair wage. But people aspire
Speaker 1: to wealth. And so my whole sort of economic plan
Speaker 1: really starts by that. It's it's how do we create
Speaker 1: more entrepreneurialship, more home ownership, more prosperity. And so to
Speaker 1: answer your questions specifically, we got a number of things.
Speaker 1: So Number one, I have a bill that has been
Speaker 1: a lot of academics have said this is one of
Speaker 1: the more breakthrough pieces of legislation that if we can
Speaker 1: get this done, would create generational wealth in America. And
Speaker 1: that's called baby bonds, which is everybody born in America,
Speaker 1: everyone by birthright, gets an interest bearing account with a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in it. Everybody gets interest bearing account. Then
Speaker 1: every year of your life, depending upon the wealth of
Speaker 1: your family, you will get up to two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: deposited into that account. So we're a nation has a
Speaker 1: high child poverty rate, so one in five one and
Speaker 1: six kids are born poor. Those kids by the time
Speaker 1: that they're eighteen years old would have upwards of fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in that account. Average Black family would probably
Speaker 1: have about a child will have about thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: And then you can use that Now you have wealth
Speaker 1: to do things that create wealth, which is start a business,
Speaker 1: buy a home, go to college. And so I know
Speaker 1: already Columbia University says, my plan because we did it.
Speaker 1: You can't deal with generations of policies that were designed
Speaker 1: to racially impact the wealth of African Americans, the FHA, loans, redlining,
Speaker 1: all of that. We designed this in a way that
Speaker 1: we know would deal with the racial wealth gap. And
Speaker 1: Columbia University says, our bill would literally close the racial
Speaker 1: wealth gap for those teenage kids, because you know there's
Speaker 1: disproportioned African Americans, Latinos are poor, and so that alone
Speaker 1: would give people a stake to start doing things and
Speaker 1: We have a lot of folks from the housing world
Speaker 1: that said this is amazing because it would help it
Speaker 1: between that and universal basic income, because universal basic income
Speaker 1: has given money to anybody based upon anything. It's not
Speaker 1: doesn't have even racial consciousness in it. It's just Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's kids would get a thousand dollars, and I just
Speaker 1: I have a problem with given wealthy people who don't
Speaker 1: need it more money. I would rather target that towards
Speaker 1: dealing with historic inequality and to level the playing field.
Speaker 1: And that's why this one based upon income, a family's
Speaker 1: income depending how much you would get, that deals with inequality.
Speaker 1: That what you're talking about there is not going to
Speaker 1: deal with an equality, and so that's the first thing.
Speaker 1: And then we just need to start talking about housing
Speaker 1: empowering people with housing. So the rental market does affect
Speaker 1: the homeownership market because many people get stuck in rental
Speaker 1: situations where they're not saving money, right, And so I
Speaker 1: have another big effort, which is just simply there's many
Speaker 1: Americans a forty plus percent or paying more than a
Speaker 1: third of their income in rent. And by relieving that pressure,
Speaker 1: we're saying, let's give every renter in America who's paying
Speaker 1: more than a third of their income in rent, Let's
Speaker 1: give them a refundable tax credit between there what they're
Speaker 1: paying over a third of their income and the area
Speaker 1: of median rent. That would cut poverty for millions and
Speaker 1: millions of Americans, raise the incomes for millions and millions
Speaker 1: of Americans, and put people in a situation where they
Speaker 1: could have more month at the end of their more
Speaker 1: money at their month, and month at the end of
Speaker 1: their money. As they say, in other words, this idea
Speaker 1: that we can start being a savings economy because people said, oh,
Speaker 1: you should have a savings kind of savings kin out,
Speaker 1: We damn, if you're spending all your money childcare, prescription drugs,
Speaker 1: all of these things, then you're not gonna be able
Speaker 1: to save the kind of money you need to put
Speaker 1: a down payment on the house and start. So we
Speaker 1: have a big housing program, but a lot of it
Speaker 1: just it's about raising the incomes of Americans. We're going
Speaker 1: to double the production, double the earned income tax credit.
Speaker 1: That's going to give one hundred and fifty million Americans
Speaker 1: under my plan, a tax break, and we're going to
Speaker 1: expand the definition of work. The Earned income tax Credit
Speaker 1: doesn't go to kids in college who are working their
Speaker 1: way through college, doesn't go to seniors who are catching
Speaker 1: extra jobs. So we're just going to make do a
Speaker 1: lot of things to help incomes in America where people
Speaker 1: can actually have the resources necessary to create. Well, I've
Speaker 1: seen you reveal one hundred billion dollars plan for HBCUs,
Speaker 1: you announced the federal build at bands naturalhead discrimination and
Speaker 1: why do politicians wait until their run off a president
Speaker 1: to announce all these things they want to do for
Speaker 1: black people? I, first of all, that's the question I asked.
Speaker 1: As a guy who's been in public life for a
Speaker 1: long time, I say to this, don't don't suddenly run
Speaker 1: for president. Put a tab on your website about how
Speaker 1: you're going to deal with black issues. What have you
Speaker 1: been doing from jump? It's hard. It's hard for me
Speaker 1: to say that the Democrats are the party of the
Speaker 1: people when in the December debate it's diverse, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna be all way. Well three and a half years
Speaker 1: that was having a black president, No black people going
Speaker 1: to be in the debates in December. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: I got a few more days to make it book
Speaker 1: black bro Like, yeah, I haven' qualified for debates. I
Speaker 1: haven't qualified for the debate and that I feel some
Speaker 1: kind of way about that because because not just because
Speaker 1: of personal ambition, but because to make the debate stage.
Speaker 1: This is the first time we had rules. They said
Speaker 1: you have to make a certain fundraising thresholds and certain
Speaker 1: holding thresholds. Now you see what I just came out
Speaker 1: of Iowa a few days ago. When I was up there,
Speaker 1: I'm watching late night TV is lining to my hotel
Speaker 1: bed trying to go to sleep, and it almost didn't
Speaker 1: seem like the Jimmy Kimmel Show. It seemed like the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg and Styre Show. Because they've got billions of dollars
Speaker 1: to run NonStop ads to juice up their polling numbers.
Speaker 1: So the DNC has created rules for the debate that
Speaker 1: if you're a billionaire, you can find creative ways to
Speaker 1: get on it. But but my team, which is trying
Speaker 1: to use every money to every bit of our money
Speaker 1: for grassroots organizing, which is how we beat the machine
Speaker 1: in Newark for me to become mayor, is now having
Speaker 1: to try to figure out ways to raise enough money
Speaker 1: so we can do TV ads to help get the
Speaker 1: one percent point where shy and these polls we know
Speaker 1: are imprecise. If polls were right, Hillary Clinton would be
Speaker 1: president right now, right. And so it's frustrating that we've
Speaker 1: designed a system the party that says we are about
Speaker 1: equality inclusion, not the power of billionaires and millions to
Speaker 1: warp our system. It's now this system that is going
Speaker 1: to benefit people who have a lot more money, Right,
Speaker 1: how do you beat that billionaire? How do you beat
Speaker 1: those millionaires? One is we've been calling out to folk
Speaker 1: and this has been our best fundraising stretch because people
Speaker 1: feel especially with Kamal and now dropping out, people feel
Speaker 1: some kind of way. Yeah, we're now on our track
Speaker 1: for our best online fundraising. We're hoping it's going to
Speaker 1: continue because to make the bit stage or not, we
Speaker 1: still want to make the January one. If people want
Speaker 1: my voice on that stage, the only one has called
Speaker 1: out issues. I should give Castro some credit and commasome credit.
Speaker 1: When we're up there, we are talking, we're often bringing
Speaker 1: different things in the conversation that have not been brought
Speaker 1: into the conversation. And so we're just saying to folks,
Speaker 1: if you value my voice, even if you haven't decided
Speaker 1: who your final person is you got to go to
Speaker 1: Corey Booker dot com and help us out because I
Speaker 1: refuse to let this election to be decided by the
Speaker 1: same factors that ultimately we're trying to fight in its
Speaker 1: influence over our politics. And I'm confident right now just
Speaker 1: to let folks know by the way polling is such,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I'm trying to trying to be
Speaker 1: respectful the polling has There has never been a point
Speaker 1: and that Democratic Party in our lifetime where somebody who
Speaker 1: was leading in the polls went to the White House
Speaker 1: this far out. Let me give you Carter was around
Speaker 1: one person, Bill Clinton was around four percent. Obama on
Speaker 1: this day was almost twenty points behind Hillary Clinton in
Speaker 1: the two thousand and seven poles. Do not predict from
Speaker 1: our party who becomes president. Let me just tell you
Speaker 1: right now our campaign is the Mourne registress has me
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth Warren have the best grassroots campaigns on the field.
Speaker 1: Number two is we are leading every person in this
Speaker 1: race and indorsements from local elected officials. These are your
Speaker 1: city councilperson, these your mayor local leaders. I should say,
Speaker 1: these are the people that on the ground, that are
Speaker 1: that are that are closest to the people, so we've
Speaker 1: got we're endorsed by those folks. So we're pretty feeling
Speaker 1: pretty good about our ability to do what Obama did
Speaker 1: upset expectations in Iowa. All right, we got more with
Speaker 1: Cory Booker when we come back, don't move. It's to
Speaker 1: breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: in with Corey Booker. Charlemagne, Is it embarrassing being the
Speaker 1: black candidate who camp guard black support? No? God, no, Look,
Speaker 1: we are brand loyal in our in our in our time.
Speaker 1: And Obama was the black candidate and he was way
Speaker 1: behind Hillary Clinton right now in in in South Carolina
Speaker 1: amongst black voters. Is that? Why Why do black, older
Speaker 1: black people love Joe Biden so much? Especially when you
Speaker 1: look at like the eighty eight crack Laws, the ninety
Speaker 1: four crime bill. Nothing put more black and brown people
Speaker 1: in the jail than those bills. Why why do people
Speaker 1: love him so much? Listen, we are a we are
Speaker 1: loyal folks, and also, like other voters, we want to win.
Speaker 1: We don't want Donald Trump to be there. And the
Speaker 1: perceived wisdom right now, just like it was when Obama
Speaker 1: was running that the Clintons, if the perceived wisdom as
Speaker 1: he can win, I gotta prove I can win, and
Speaker 1: I know the loyalty of black voters to me, is
Speaker 1: it difficult being a black candidate, especially with the expectations
Speaker 1: of not just black voters but black people because they
Speaker 1: might say, I don't know why they say, say Cary's
Speaker 1: not black enough, Cary's corny. You know, sat and Night
Speaker 1: Alive would make fun of you and be like Corey
Speaker 1: has all these well prepared, rehearthed lines and debates like
Speaker 1: you know, shield a need to like put on a
Speaker 1: like I gotta be down, you know. No. Look, the
Speaker 1: movie Street Fight has this incredible scene and this is
Speaker 1: about this is the Oscar nominated movie when watching online
Speaker 1: for free now about My Rise in Newark, and it
Speaker 1: lost to March of the Penguins and the Oscars. But
Speaker 1: this this powerful scene of a sister in that movie
Speaker 1: going against because because this was what the opposition of
Speaker 1: Newark the machine and Newark is saying, oh, he's not
Speaker 1: black enough to and this woman just broke it down
Speaker 1: and says, why is it that a guy who goes
Speaker 1: off and does everything we want him to do. You know,
Speaker 1: I went off to Stanford University. I joked I got
Speaker 1: him because of a four point sixteen hundred four point
Speaker 1: our yards per carry, sixteen hundred receiving yards, because I
Speaker 1: got in on a football scholarship. But you know, I
Speaker 1: stayed and did master's degree. There, went off, it was
Speaker 1: Oxford or Rose scholar, came back to Yale Law School
Speaker 1: and she's just like, why is that suddenly? And then
Speaker 1: he did what we would want him to do. He
Speaker 1: came back to the community to serve. Like my dad
Speaker 1: was not impressed. My dad from you know, you know,
Speaker 1: both my parents grew up a segregated times. My dad
Speaker 1: was from from the South, and he looks at me
Speaker 1: and goes, boy, you got more degrees in the month
Speaker 1: of July. But she ain't hot. You know, life in
Speaker 1: about the degrees you get. It's about the service you give.
Speaker 1: You want to make your parents proud, get back to
Speaker 1: the work of making this country a just place for everyone.
Speaker 1: And so I made a decision, you know, with my
Speaker 1: yl law degree, I moved into the neighborhood. I still
Speaker 1: live in a black and brown community in the Central
Speaker 1: ward of Newark, New Jersey. A lot of them say
Speaker 1: you never really lived in though. Look man, there is
Speaker 1: a lot of people say a lot of things. But
Speaker 1: my whole life, my whole majority of my life now
Speaker 1: has been spent living in the same community in Newer
Speaker 1: living for eight years, and the projects in Newer and
Speaker 1: the people that got me elected, Miss Virginia Jones. I
Speaker 1: could go through the tenant leaders who walked me through
Speaker 1: the projects there. They're rarely had there ever been an
Speaker 1: upset in New York. I was the youngest city councilors,
Speaker 1: never elected because of elderly folks and young folks who
Speaker 1: walked me through and put their credibility on mine. I
Speaker 1: still miss Miss Jones. When people would answer the door, Frank,
Speaker 1: they would say, they would answer the door, open the
Speaker 1: door in the projects because they recognized them, and they
Speaker 1: would just say, we can trust this boy, we can
Speaker 1: trust him. And one of the reasons I'm still wasn't
Speaker 1: a white woman calling you a boy. No, it's like
Speaker 1: a woman who's like my mother, Miss Virginia Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: And and literally the reason why I moved into the
Speaker 1: into brick towers was because Miss Jones. When I got
Speaker 1: elected when she got me elections, don't forget where you
Speaker 1: came from, don't forget the people that were there for you.
Speaker 1: So I said, I only want to forget. I'm going
Speaker 1: to move into the toughest place where people will say
Speaker 1: things like he can't live there, there's no way he
Speaker 1: lived there. Well, I wanted to live with the community.
Speaker 1: When I became mayor, I made a decision with my team,
Speaker 1: let's find the sector of the city that they say
Speaker 1: is the most dangerous with the most shootings, because I
Speaker 1: want to move into that area of the city. And
Speaker 1: I remember getting a lot of death threats. I do
Speaker 1: remember that as well. People like you've had some tough scrapes.
Speaker 1: But look, people, that gets a lot of tension for
Speaker 1: me because I'm the mayor of the city or what
Speaker 1: have you. But folk are living up in dangerous environments
Speaker 1: in our communities all the time. That's why I tell folks.
Speaker 1: And I've had this conversation in Washington with people like
Speaker 1: issues like gun violence. The majority of homicide victims in
Speaker 1: America are black men. Majority of the homicide victims in
Speaker 1: America are black men. And so for me, when I
Speaker 1: go to that White House, talk about lived experience. I
Speaker 1: will remember. I can name the children in my community
Speaker 1: when I was mayor whose funerals I have to I
Speaker 1: had to go to. But you don't want to take
Speaker 1: away guns though. You just want some type of gun
Speaker 1: legislation to regulates. Let me just tell you this, because
Speaker 1: I made this point when I was mayor. I could
Speaker 1: only find one circumstance in newer where somebody who was
Speaker 1: shot was shot by a person who had legally obtained
Speaker 1: their weapon, and that person was a correctional officer that
Speaker 1: used it to shoot at her boyfriend and do a
Speaker 1: horrible murder suicide. Every other shooting in my community was
Speaker 1: done by somebody who wouldn't qualify to buy gun. So so,
Speaker 1: so my point is this is it not a law
Speaker 1: of buying citizens gun ownership. It's the laws that we
Speaker 1: have to allow people to obtain guns who should not
Speaker 1: obtain guns. So I'm not against you. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have Charlomagne. I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: a weapon. Oh yeah, I do. You know cleared us
Speaker 1: up for us because about nine years ago we did
Speaker 1: an event with you in Harlem. Yeah, and I swear
Speaker 1: me and NV saw you were a gun and you
Speaker 1: had it tucked in your back, and I was like, Yo, God,
Speaker 1: welcome back that. Did you ever used to carry him? No?
Speaker 1: I never cared. I'm sure I do, But I wasn't Hallow.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Hall. It was on the Upper east Side
Speaker 1: or something like that. I don't know where was that,
Speaker 1: but I was just like, yo, And I honestly made me.
Speaker 1: Did you because I know about the death threats and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but carrying? Yeah? Yeah, but you know
Speaker 1: I got a question. Sure you never carried your on weep.
Speaker 1: I never carried a weapon man, never, Never I fired him,
Speaker 1: But I've never carried What was that in your back
Speaker 1: that time? I have no idea. Maybe it was like
Speaker 1: a granola bar. Katie was here and she said that
Speaker 1: you guys went on a blind date. True, so a
Speaker 1: football game? True? And you never asked it out again?
Speaker 1: Well no, she said, she never asked you out again.
Speaker 1: Say that. She said, you never asked it out again?
Speaker 1: Why was that? Um? You send some time? Why am
Speaker 1: I going back there? You're gonna get me in trouble
Speaker 1: with my now girlfriend? It never was Aario Dawson has
Speaker 1: a name, Corey. She was last time I was. I
Speaker 1: didn't say the name. We just but but she campaign
Speaker 1: of you. She is, Yeah, she is back the obala.
Speaker 1: You didn't call her back? Why not? I if I
Speaker 1: felt that door was open, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: would have knocked on that door again. I'll just put
Speaker 1: it back. That didn't connect. What what does that mean?
Speaker 1: That means I found her to be I had a
Speaker 1: great time. I just never felt like she was inviting that.
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe this is my and this is how
Speaker 1: I remember. This is well more than a decade ago.
Speaker 1: This is a while ago, and I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there again, I really enjoy she was. She was
Speaker 1: somebody that you met them and they were for they
Speaker 1: were real, you know. It was like she we had
Speaker 1: fun and so I don't know why that did not materialized.
Speaker 1: He regrets. I have no regrets because I'm with the woman.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm, I'm like, you know, I'm every day
Speaker 1: I'm like pinching myself. I'm I'm My girlfriend is just amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm just very happy. Man. You're getting married soon. I am,
Speaker 1: I am. I am not making any news on that.
Speaker 1: There's been no there are no wedding plans for us.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm really she's just an incredible human being.
Speaker 1: She's an activist. She she's she adopted an amazing daughter
Speaker 1: that her daughter at eleven years old. You don't see
Speaker 1: people doing that. She founded Voto Latino, which is this
Speaker 1: activist ory. She's like a righteous activist person that uses
Speaker 1: her position to do as much good as she possibly can.
Speaker 1: For she's an entrepreneur. I know you respect that, but
Speaker 1: she's not. She's a conscious capitalist in the sense of
Speaker 1: she's working with women in Africa to develop a capacity there.
Speaker 1: I mean just everything about her amazes me every day,
Speaker 1: and I just I'm just I'm just really blessed. Some
Speaker 1: people say that relationship is not real and they say
Speaker 1: you're just with her because of the rumors of your sexuality. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, uh, some people say everything everything, and
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not. I don't care. I don't
Speaker 1: care what people say. I care what people say, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing what I'm doing. What did Michael Max say,
Speaker 1: if if, if, if you don't have no critics, you
Speaker 1: won't have no success. That's exactly right. I will say
Speaker 1: this about you, Coorey. I've been critically you, but when
Speaker 1: you're on that debate stage when you get to talk. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're good, thank you, man, like really good, thank you,
Speaker 1: And I would love to see you on that debate
Speaker 1: stage continuing to do that, like take the gloves off
Speaker 1: even more. Man, Yeah I will. And let me just
Speaker 1: say something of you. Don't stop being critical because we
Speaker 1: got we we have to hold our people accountable and
Speaker 1: being black being is not enough. It's not enough. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us this morning. And no more
Speaker 1: outfits like this because this goes around in our group
Speaker 1: chat people say I could never vote for a guy
Speaker 1: who dressed like that. This is the tough thing about
Speaker 1: This is the tough thing about being in public life.
Speaker 1: You know something about being black. You gotta have be
Speaker 1: fly all the time, all the time. I gotta be
Speaker 1: fly all the time. What was this? This is like?
Speaker 1: This is again decade ago? Man, is a decade yesterday.
Speaker 1: You do look a little wider in this. I'm a
Speaker 1: lot heavier in that place. Yea. That's what's more embarrassing
Speaker 1: to me than cub Thank you very much to make
Speaker 1: telling to watch out for Florida. The craziest people in
Speaker 1: America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes,
Speaker 1: you are a donkey. A Florida man attack and ATM
Speaker 1: for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money.
Speaker 1: Florida man is a westade I forgot he said, he
Speaker 1: rigged the door to his home and an attempt to
Speaker 1: electric kid his clidet's life. Police arrested in Orlando man
Speaker 1: for talking of the window rectors Club. Bitchy donkey other
Speaker 1: day with Charlom Haine, a guy. I don't know why
Speaker 1: y'all keep letting him get y'all elected? Well, do alredy
Speaker 1: keep letting me get them like this because they keep
Speaker 1: doing things like this, all right? Donkey Today goes to
Speaker 1: a substitute teacher at a school in Sarasota, Florida, named
Speaker 1: Heather Carpenter. Now it's for whatever reason she had a
Speaker 1: dispute with the school's principle. Heather was allegedly upset to
Speaker 1: the school's principle was set to have a birthday party
Speaker 1: at a particular venue. The venue in question was the
Speaker 1: pavilion in Erfur Park. Now, I don't know what Heather
Speaker 1: has against the principle or the principal's daughter. But Heather,
Speaker 1: a substitute teacher decided to be a party pooper. Literally,
Speaker 1: let's go to Fox thirteen for the report. Police. All
Speaker 1: eight of these picnic tables here at Erfur Family Park
Speaker 1: had to be replaced after a woman spread human waste
Speaker 1: and fecal matter all over the wood as a form
Speaker 1: of payback. Let's mixture of urine and feces and she
Speaker 1: had in a big cup. The nasty vandalism costs the
Speaker 1: county more than twenty three hundred dollars for clean up,
Speaker 1: replacing table and grills, and reimbursing and rescheduling a birthday
Speaker 1: party set for the pavilion later that morning. It only
Speaker 1: took the Sarasota County Sheriff's office a few days to
Speaker 1: track down and arrest Heather Carpenter. The forty two year
Speaker 1: old is charged with felony criminal mischief. Turns out Carpenter
Speaker 1: is a substitute teacher at Philippi Shores Elementary School. According
Speaker 1: to arrest paperwork, Carpenter wasn't happy with how the principle
Speaker 1: handled a professional complaint she made. At the end of November.
Speaker 1: The Sarasota woman admitted to investigators she smeared the feces
Speaker 1: with the goal of spoiling the birthday party planned at
Speaker 1: the park that day. The celebration was for the principal's daughter.
Speaker 1: Officials say Carpenter is no longer a substitute and can't
Speaker 1: volunteer at any district schools. Well, this investigation is active.
Speaker 1: You think Heather was with the sugar honey iced teas? Okay?
Speaker 1: Now I have a homeboy who shall remain nameless, who
Speaker 1: used to have a real problem beating people up. So
Speaker 1: he went to angle management as part of his probation
Speaker 1: for beating people up. So whenever he wanted to beat
Speaker 1: people up, instead he would resort to fighting with pieces.
Speaker 1: What I mean, that's it's crazy. I didn't see him.
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is, if he had a
Speaker 1: beef with someone, he would cut your cars he opened
Speaker 1: and put dingle berries in the cushions, or he might
Speaker 1: go on your house and put a couple of chocolate
Speaker 1: delights in your sneak. Because I remember that it is
Speaker 1: I remember he had an issue with his next door neighbor,
Speaker 1: and the next door neighbor's roommate, you know, let him
Speaker 1: in the house. So my guy put butt truffles in
Speaker 1: the neighbor's couch. Cushions. What's a butt truffle turd? Never
Speaker 1: understood why the roommate was down with that because he
Speaker 1: had to live there too. All right, tomorrow of the
Speaker 1: story is it's just some real live turd terrorists out here,
Speaker 1: and Heather Carpenter is clearly wanted them. My thing is, Heather,
Speaker 1: you got beef with the principal, why resort to attacking
Speaker 1: the kids, because that's essentially what you were doing by
Speaker 1: spreading butt mud all over the picnic tables and grills
Speaker 1: at this park. None of the adults were gonna be
Speaker 1: affected by these rusty nuggets. I mean, sure, you put
Speaker 1: some rector warriors on the grills, so that means everybody's
Speaker 1: burger would end up getting fudge babies on them, But
Speaker 1: why do that to the kids? Okay? What is something
Speaker 1: else to chocle Challa always tells you never go to
Speaker 1: wall which someone who gives an f less than you,
Speaker 1: And clearly Heather Carbiner don't give an f anyone can
Speaker 1: get it, men, women and children. If she got beef
Speaker 1: with you, then all of y'all getting butt beans. All right,
Speaker 1: everybody at this party gonna get all the fanny fudd
Speaker 1: you can eat. Chocolate bananas for everybody, simply because I
Speaker 1: got beef with one person. I'm telling you, don't go
Speaker 1: to war with somebody who gives an f less than you,
Speaker 1: especially erect me Waria. Now, Heather has been charged with
Speaker 1: third degree felony mischief in property damage, and there's no
Speaker 1: way she can be in population with other prisoners, because
Speaker 1: what if this tird terrorists decides to let a bunch
Speaker 1: of frightened turtles loose in a prison? Do you really
Speaker 1: want a corn massacre in one of these correctional facilities?
Speaker 1: Think about it, Florida. Please give Heather carbons to the
Speaker 1: biggest he are what I don't want to hear your question?
Speaker 1: Now I got a question. So for her to carry
Speaker 1: in your guys, your friends, you know, terd terrorists. So
Speaker 1: he does? He does? He poop on the floor and
Speaker 1: pick it up. Never asked if it was human feasis.
Speaker 1: It could have been dog fisis. I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of feasis it was was using. I'm just here like,
Speaker 1: do you just pis like? I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of feasis Heather was using? Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm just assuming it's hers. I just need to pick
Speaker 1: it up or are you going to tallet? And I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, if you got to go to a prison,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and that's your weapon of choice.
Speaker 1: You always got someone dack. I always got someone that right.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty regular at a fact eight thirty this morning,
Speaker 1: if anybody and he turned terrorists need something, holler at me.
Speaker 1: I got it for the low. My goodness, Um, let
Speaker 1: me see what I had all that time. I had
Speaker 1: fish for dinner. This morning, I had my regular pos.
Speaker 1: You should always figure out how well you're doing as
Speaker 1: far as your diet. I never look at my poo.
Speaker 1: That's gotta make sure it looks normal. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: keep it like. We have more coming up next. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we all the Breakfast Club is time for
Speaker 1: ask ye Hello? Who's this? Hehi? This is Astley. Hey Ashley.
Speaker 1: What's your question for you? Oh? I kind of just
Speaker 1: wanted her advice on dealing with my boyfriend and his mother.
Speaker 1: His mom is like very involved in our relationship. She
Speaker 1: drinks a lot and she Yeah, we used to be
Speaker 1: like really closely in her but um, she's kind of
Speaker 1: you know, she got the drinking and got like little disrespectful,
Speaker 1: and so it's like really hard on him because he's
Speaker 1: in the between the both of us a lot with
Speaker 1: arguing and like not talking to each other, and she
Speaker 1: has a lot to do with the problems that are
Speaker 1: in all relationship and it's just like kind of really
Speaker 1: hard to deal with. Man. I had to date a
Speaker 1: guy one time whose mother actually used to drink a
Speaker 1: lot and then she would always call him and then
Speaker 1: they start arguing, and so I had a similar situation.
Speaker 1: She never got disrespectful with me, though. Now when you
Speaker 1: say she's a cause for a lot of arguments in
Speaker 1: your relationship, why is that? What are the arguments that
Speaker 1: y'all are having? Um, just basically kind of how to
Speaker 1: deal with her? I mean, like she's so impulsive that
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I'm just not used to that.
Speaker 1: She'll say one thing and forget that she said it,
Speaker 1: and then you know what I mean, Like it's just
Speaker 1: it's almost like talking to a different person every day,
Speaker 1: and it's just really frustrating to have to deal with that.
Speaker 1: He lives with her now, we were living together, but
Speaker 1: you know, we just kept arguing over him, just like
Speaker 1: always going over there to see her instead of like
Speaker 1: hanging out with me, which is fine, like that's your mother.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm not going to be opposed to you
Speaker 1: being around her, but I just don't like being around her.
Speaker 1: So you know that that energy that she gives off
Speaker 1: and that vibe. I know she talks about me to
Speaker 1: him and how she doesn't want me to be with
Speaker 1: him and she would rather him be with his child's
Speaker 1: mother and things like that. It's just those things constantly
Speaker 1: being said to him and him telling me that it's
Speaker 1: just like that bothers me of course well as a
Speaker 1: mother before, you know, just things that are just like
Speaker 1: really out of pocket. So here's a couple of things here.
Speaker 1: Number one, her alcoholism is a sickness. It's a disease, right,
Speaker 1: and and so I do feel like she's saying those things,
Speaker 1: but you have to look at it from the fact
Speaker 1: that she's not well. And so I think when she's
Speaker 1: lashing at it too like that that's more of a
Speaker 1: reflection on her not feeling well about what she's going through.
Speaker 1: So I want you to understand that. Secondly, you're a
Speaker 1: man has to figure out what he's going to do
Speaker 1: to deal with this issue. Obviously, you know, in an
Speaker 1: ideal situation, you guys will get along, but y'all don't
Speaker 1: right now. Is he trying to get her some help?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like there's just kind of
Speaker 1: in denial about it. Like I mean, he obviously knows
Speaker 1: that she's not you know, she's not well right now,
Speaker 1: but it's just so hard to deal with her, and
Speaker 1: it's so hard to tell her things about herself. It's
Speaker 1: just you know what I mean, everyone's just kind of
Speaker 1: like tired of being the dead horrors at this point.
Speaker 1: You know, like she just doesn't she doesn't believe she's
Speaker 1: not bad, and you know, she's just you know, she's
Speaker 1: an adult. We can't only force her to do anything.
Speaker 1: If you talk to her, she gets very defensive, so
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's kind of just hard. It's hard.
Speaker 1: I get it's hard for him to deal with as well,
Speaker 1: but it's like, you know what they mean. I don't
Speaker 1: want to feel like take a side, but no, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't say pick a side either. I think it
Speaker 1: is important for you to be supportive of your man.
Speaker 1: And when I say being supportive of your man. Understand
Speaker 1: that I'm sure it's difficult for him to have to
Speaker 1: deal with this, to be in this situation, and instead
Speaker 1: of you guys coming from a place where it's me
Speaker 1: against you over her, you have to be like, I'm
Speaker 1: supporting you because I know this is difficult for you
Speaker 1: and it is difficult for me. So can we support
Speaker 1: each other to make sure that this doesn't tear us apart?
Speaker 1: And how can we try to make sure that we
Speaker 1: get her some type of help because she really does
Speaker 1: need it, and I do care and I do want
Speaker 1: to be with you right then. I do fat like that,
Speaker 1: and I do love him, and you know, I definitely
Speaker 1: keep him in mind whenever i'm you know, trying to
Speaker 1: deal with the situation, because I don't want to be
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to be a personal disrespectful
Speaker 1: to your mind. I want you to feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll never be able to be around your mom or
Speaker 1: you know, because ultimately that's going to wear in a
Speaker 1: relationship fight. Yeah, this situation, So you know what, you
Speaker 1: and your man should go and actually talk to somebody,
Speaker 1: and then when he's come to it with that, he
Speaker 1: should encourage his mother to come with him as well. Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea too. I hope she
Speaker 1: was right. Well, you know, best of luck to you,
Speaker 1: and don't give up on your man and listen, it's hired.
Speaker 1: Sometimes outside horses affect our relationship and they should and
Speaker 1: everything else can be great. It could be that one thing.

Speaker 1: don't want approach him, say, but oh we'll see and
Speaker 1: we'll see. And now girl, just counter ten backwards every
Speaker 1: time you start getting mad and breathe right right right,
Speaker 1: that's definitely helpful. But thank you so much. All right,
Speaker 1: good luck. Ask ye eight hundred five A five one
Speaker 1: on five morning. If you need relationship advice, hit ye
Speaker 1: Now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We got Tony on the line. Tony, good morning, y'all. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's uping? What's your questing for you? Ye? So become
Speaker 1: before I became an elusive member of the black Man
Speaker 1: No Cheat Club, that's right, baby, Prior to all that,
Speaker 1: I messed up when I cheated with my girl. Remember okay,
Speaker 1: Well this is prior to you know what I got,
Speaker 1: I got a new inspiration. Not okay, but before then
Speaker 1: I was cheated, messed up. But now my girl feel
Speaker 1: as if I shouldn't have any female friends now not
Speaker 1: I feel it with new female friends with me, any mean,
Speaker 1: prior old, whoever they are. She don't want me to
Speaker 1: have anything. How do I go about handling that you
Speaker 1: want to be with her? Right of course, you got
Speaker 1: caught cheat and you're trying to prove something, right of course.
Speaker 1: Well I think when you're trying to prove something, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure the guys in the room can attest it,
Speaker 1: that you kind of gotta do whatever your girl wants
Speaker 1: you to do for the time being, because she's now
Speaker 1: feeling insecure, she's not sure about things. So if that
Speaker 1: means that you have to back off from certain friendships
Speaker 1: that you had prior to her for now, you might
Speaker 1: have to do that. Now, as you guys get into
Speaker 1: a better space, maybe you can ease back into having
Speaker 1: those friendships and she'll be okay with that, especially if
Speaker 1: those friendships were genuine. I had a friend who cheated
Speaker 1: on his girlfriend and they ended up, you know, breaking up.
Speaker 1: But then they got back together and his girlfriend did
Speaker 1: not like me. He did, she did not want him
Speaker 1: around me. And you know what I did as a
Speaker 1: friend to him, I said, that's cool, though that's important
Speaker 1: to you, that's your relationship. I don't want to cause
Speaker 1: any problems. A real friend will understand that and back
Speaker 1: to f up. And that's exactly what I did. Now,
Speaker 1: their relationship didn't end up lasting, and of course we're
Speaker 1: still friends to this day. But all I'm saying is
Speaker 1: he had to do what was necessary, and your friends
Speaker 1: should understand that. Now. Hopefully, if those women are your friends,
Speaker 1: they also will end up being friends with your girl,
Speaker 1: because that's important too. But for now, as you're trying
Speaker 1: to win her back, and that's really something, you want
Speaker 1: to go hard for it. Even if it's not certain
Speaker 1: things that she doesn't you don't agree with that she
Speaker 1: might want you to do, you kind of got to
Speaker 1: do it. That's right. We don't negotiate with terrorists, and
Speaker 1: your wife is looking at you like a terrorist. You
Speaker 1: do what she tells you to do, including but not
Speaker 1: limited to a finger in your don't debate, don't debate me,
Speaker 1: don't debate me. Yeah, and listen listen. It's sometimes it's
Speaker 1: a long road to get that trust back because you
Speaker 1: it takes a long time to build back trust when
Speaker 1: it's broken. But you have to be in it for
Speaker 1: the long haul if that's really what you want. But
Speaker 1: there is there in an extreme point and they're too
Speaker 1: longer a timetable. No, are you listening? Are you willing
Speaker 1: to do anything? Because listen, there could be a breaking
Speaker 1: point for you where you're like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: can't do this anymore. I'm out. You have to determine
Speaker 1: that flat Okay, too easy? All right, Well, good luck.
Speaker 1: I hope you make it happen. Man, don't cheat, that's right, baby,
Speaker 1: all right? Anymore? Ask ye eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 1: one oh five one. If you need relationship advice, hit

Speaker 1: We got more coming up next. We're a breakfast club
Speaker 1: this morning. Everybody is DJ Mvy Andela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the breakfast club that we have a special
Speaker 1: guest in the New York Public Library. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: mess up your name, sir, so I'm gonna ley introduce
Speaker 1: you Tocy last name, last name on your on your booty,
Speaker 1: your boot I know you used to get that a
Speaker 1: lot in school because the name is middle school was
Speaker 1: fun on your I don't want to say it wrong.
Speaker 1: What is that Nigerian? Yes, and let's talk about your
Speaker 1: buck that we're actually using for our program with the
Speaker 1: new York Public Library. War are girls, and it actually
Speaker 1: takes place in Nigeria. And I actually had to do
Speaker 1: some history on this because there's a war and then
Speaker 1: it's a Biafrin. Is that how you're saying Biafran? So
Speaker 1: give us a history of Biafran because it's Biaffrin, and
Speaker 1: then that's part of Nigeria. Right. So Nigeria became independent
Speaker 1: and I believe it was nineteen sixty and then in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven, the Ebo tribe who were concentrated in
Speaker 1: southeast Nigeria wanted to secede and they announced their independence
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven. And then what followed was like
Speaker 1: three years of war and famine and it was just catastrophic,
Speaker 1: and you saw all these like England or like the
Speaker 1: UK and the US and everything got involved, but mostly
Speaker 1: on the side of the Nigerians. And so it was
Speaker 1: very much a David versus Goliath thing. Biafra got crushed,
Speaker 1: you know, three years later and eventually subsumed back into Nigeria.
Speaker 1: But the thing about it was there were no real
Speaker 1: like reparations or no real attempt to deal with it
Speaker 1: or deal with the underlying ethnic tensions. And so even
Speaker 1: today you have like renewed calls for succession. So it
Speaker 1: seemed like now was the time to definitely like revisit
Speaker 1: that even in this like you know, science fictional way,
Speaker 1: but to like because in Nigeria, nobody talks about the offer.
Speaker 1: You said it's alternate Nigeria, Like what exactly is the
Speaker 1: alternate Nigeria? So I just wanted to I wanted to
Speaker 1: set it in the future, and so I wanted to
Speaker 1: write a story where there were black girls piloting giant
Speaker 1: robots um. And I also wanted to set it in
Speaker 1: Africa because there are so few pictures or depictions of
Speaker 1: Africa in the future, Like all all most people know
Speaker 1: is black panther, right, Like that's that's it, that's the place, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: And so I wanted to present, you know, another version
Speaker 1: and see what you know, Africa in the future would
Speaker 1: look like people and white people. Yea, if we don't,
Speaker 1: if we don't, if we don't stop going back to
Speaker 1: o Homeland exactly, and it takes place in any one
Speaker 1: sent I love the fact that you're doing black science fiction.
Speaker 1: It's a genre that I want to explore. But I
Speaker 1: just don't, you know, because all black stories. They always
Speaker 1: try to put us in the same thing. It's always
Speaker 1: from the hood. It's always a drug deal, it's always
Speaker 1: something like that. The fact that black science fiction. That's
Speaker 1: why I love what Jordan Pills doing. So for you
Speaker 1: to be writing something like this, I think it's very
Speaker 1: very dope. If I want to be a writer, I
Speaker 1: don't just have to write about how tough it is
Speaker 1: to be a black person in the right. That's right.
Speaker 1: I can write whatever I want, right, And that's why
Speaker 1: I listen. That's why I get something. I get mad
Speaker 1: at some of this art that we put out because
Speaker 1: if we're gonna tell fictional stories about black people, can
Speaker 1: we win? Can we change the narratives? Yeah? Like Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: embody like about queen and slim one thing that I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna talk about it, right, But let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, um, So the process. Let's say somebody is
Speaker 1: very interested in science fiction and writing, how do you
Speaker 1: go about creating a world that's doesn't even exist? Were
Speaker 1: you high? No? I don't, but like writing is my high,
Speaker 1: right high? Just um. It starts out as this like
Speaker 1: assemblage of just like cool that I want to put
Speaker 1: in this world and then I you know, start putting
Speaker 1: it together and thinking about, Okay, what's important in this society?
Speaker 1: What do people care about? How is it divided? Like
Speaker 1: is there are there class differences? Is there like a
Speaker 1: racial component? And like, one thing that I wanted to
Speaker 1: do with war Girls, so like what's happening in Africa
Speaker 1: right now is there's a huge push for Chinese influence
Speaker 1: right like and like you know, nobody's talking about that,
Speaker 1: right And that was something that I wanted to have
Speaker 1: in the book, was like this discussion about Okay, I
Speaker 1: really like that's an actual Like, that's an actual thing
Speaker 1: that I wanted to get at. Was like, Okay, if
Speaker 1: we're if we're looking at Africa in the future, we're
Speaker 1: going to have to you know, reckon with you know,
Speaker 1: where we're at now with regards to Chinese influence in
Speaker 1: the continent and whether or not it's you know, just
Speaker 1: like another brand of colonialism, right it definitely is a
Speaker 1: new brand colonialism. Oh and I mean even when you
Speaker 1: see guys like Jack Dorsey say I'm gonna go spend
Speaker 1: and don't come, don't come to Africa please they come,
Speaker 1: They're coming back to take the mother yea bro Like
Speaker 1: there's there's nothing good that can come from Jack Dorsey
Speaker 1: coming to Africa. There's nothing doubt. It's just literally like
Speaker 1: don't do it. Don't do it that a little bit
Speaker 1: why well, Like so, so for instance, one small example,
Speaker 1: like micro lending is huge in Africa, right because there
Speaker 1: are people that need specifically, if you're like a small business,
Speaker 1: right you you you got a stall in the market
Speaker 1: that you sell clothes or fruit from or whatever, you
Speaker 1: occasionally need a loan to like cover overhead or like
Speaker 1: if you're if you're short on payments or whatever. And
Speaker 1: so what's happening is you have all these like apps
Speaker 1: and all these tech companies that are getting in and
Speaker 1: developing these like micro loans where they charge a ton
Speaker 1: of interest on these loans. So people will take out
Speaker 1: a loan's interest, so the rate will be something like
Speaker 1: thirty five Joe. It's like just just out of this world.
Speaker 1: So people will take out the loan, but then to
Speaker 1: pay the fees on the loan or to pay back
Speaker 1: the loan, they have to take out another loan. And
Speaker 1: so it becomes this cycle right where you have the Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like stuff like that is leg I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the thing is it's not regulated in a lot of
Speaker 1: African countries, like they're no, Like it really is, That's exactly.
Speaker 1: And so you look at, say, for instance, how much
Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook have screwed up like America and American democracy,
Speaker 1: and you look at like the role that Facebook played
Speaker 1: and bregs it, yes, and then you're like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: what are they going to do in a place that
Speaker 1: doesn't even have a lot of the democratic and political
Speaker 1: infrastructure that America has, right, And it's just like it's
Speaker 1: going to be the apocalypse, And I'm like, yo, please, Jack,
Speaker 1: don't do it. I do want to talk about the
Speaker 1: effects of war, right, because that is also a theme
Speaker 1: throughout the book. We see the different women being affected
Speaker 1: and child soldiers and all of that. So just as
Speaker 1: a theme because it is War Girls, right, discuss what
Speaker 1: it is that you did when it comes to war
Speaker 1: and the effects of war on these people. So child
Speaker 1: soldiers weren't necessarily a big issue in the bi Offering war.
Speaker 1: But one of the things that inspired War Girls was
Speaker 1: I studied a lot of the conflicts in African countries
Speaker 1: in the nineties and the two thousands, and in like
Speaker 1: the Liberian Civil War, a ton of child soldiers, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to show the effects of that, like what
Speaker 1: is it? What does it mean to be in that position? Right?
Speaker 1: Like what does it do to you? And so I'm
Speaker 1: working on the sequel to War Girls now and it's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting seeing how some of these characters,
Speaker 1: the ones who do survive, deal with the trauma of that.
Speaker 1: Give me that, man, listen, you know this is the
Speaker 1: next wave. Hey, you know I'm talking about Black science
Speaker 1: fiction is absolutely positively the next wave, Like this is
Speaker 1: going to end up being a TV show, It's gonna
Speaker 1: end up being a movie. And I know, so you know,
Speaker 1: fingers speaking into existent. The New York Times said they
Speaker 1: could see this as a movie. That true because you
Speaker 1: know why, because every black story has been told and
Speaker 1: you know, black is gold right now. But Black creatives
Speaker 1: have to start doing things like this because we're we're
Speaker 1: We're not We're not a monolithic Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Blurds need representative, Yes we do. That's it. Well, tell
