Speaker 1: bought the dog as an adult. He was house trained,
Speaker 1: He went outside in the woods. There was not really

Speaker 1: These puppies talk and wine all night.
Speaker 3: I know what you're thinking. They me their puppies.
Speaker 1: Yes, Then when I wake up, you know, they had
Speaker 1: a little accident in their crate, which is not a problem.
Speaker 1: I cleaned it up, so I put them on the

Speaker 1: I go back to get them, there's poop on the porch.
Speaker 3: That's like two days in a row, now, yes, So.
Speaker 1: Then I gotta clean up the poop, put them back in,
Speaker 1: make sure that they're bathed in their hand. They you
Speaker 1: know they paws are clean because I'm walking them back

Speaker 1: a Judy Bloom fan. Charlemagne is Charlamage will be cursing
Speaker 1: me out right now, but yes, based off of Judy
Speaker 1: Bloom book, and we'll be talking to her. And also
Speaker 1: Lyncia KABETI I'm saying that wrong, but I'm trying. She
Speaker 1: is the first black actress to play in Wicked Alphaba,
Speaker 1: so she plays Alphable and Wicked. What I said, girlfriends,
Speaker 1: I said friends, I'm sorry, girlfriends. As sim walks in.
Speaker 3: Head and corrects me.
Speaker 1: Yes, she did girlfriends, all right, yeah so and also she,
Speaker 1: like I said, Lincia, she was the first black assress
Speaker 1: to play Alphaba on Broadway, so we'll talk to her.
Speaker 1: I got the chance to take the kids to see
Speaker 1: that and it was amazing. All right, let's get the
Speaker 1: show cracking. We got front page News. Morgan to be
Speaker 1: joining us, and don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Come morning, let's go morning everybody.
Speaker 3: It's j n V.
Speaker 1: Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Let's get in some front page news. Good morning Morgan.
Speaker 5: Hey, hey MV. So look, you know you'd like to
Speaker 5: start with sports. So you heard about what happened with
Speaker 5: New York.
Speaker 3: Knicks coach, Yes, time, Tabvideaux.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he got fired after five seasons.
Speaker 5: So the team announced on Tuesday that Thibadeaux led the
Speaker 5: New York to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance this
Speaker 5: year for the first time, of course, since nineteen ninety
Speaker 5: nine in the two thousand season. From nine nine to
Speaker 5: two thousands, in his five seasons with the Knixt, he
Speaker 5: won two hundred and twenty six regular season games, and
Speaker 5: the team went twenty four and twenty three and four
Speaker 5: postseason appearances. Now, the twenty twenty one NBA Coach of
Speaker 5: the Year led the next to consecutive fifty plus win
Speaker 5: seasons for its first time since.
Speaker 6: The nineteen nineties.
Speaker 5: Now Tobadeaux has been an NBA coach since twenty ten,
Speaker 5: between New York the Bulls, Chicago Bulls, and the Minnesota Timberwolf.
Speaker 6: So what do you think about this move?
Speaker 3: I think it was needed. Although Thibodeaux was probably.
Speaker 1: The most winning as coach since nineteen ninety nine, I
Speaker 1: just felt like there was a lot of things that
Speaker 1: he did that he was exposed during these playoffs that
Speaker 1: I think should have been handled a lot better. For instance,
Speaker 1: the first game versus the Paces, I mean, we were
Speaker 1: up fourteen with like what a minute and change left,
Speaker 1: There's no way we lose that game.
Speaker 3: People have been real critical of the fact that he
Speaker 3: plays his players a lot.
Speaker 1: His players get a lot of up minutes and a
Speaker 1: lot of times that runs the players down. They don't
Speaker 1: have enough energy to close out. So he's been they
Speaker 1: criticized him a lot. So I don't know who they
Speaker 1: bring in Thibodeau, like I said he was winning his
Speaker 1: coaches nineteen ninety nine. He got us further than any
Speaker 1: coach has got us. So we'll see what the knicks
Speaker 1: happens to as far as who's next.
Speaker 6: All right, the building blocks, we love to hear it.
Speaker 5: Moving on, So Elon musks criticism of President Trump so
Speaker 5: called one big Beautiful Bill is being downplayed by the
Speaker 5: White House. Yesterday, in multiple posts on X, Musk said quote,
Speaker 5: I am sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore.
Speaker 5: This massive, outrageous pork Field Congressional spending bill is a
Speaker 5: disgusting abomination.
Speaker 6: Shame on those who voted for it. You know you
Speaker 6: did wrong. You know it now.
Speaker 5: He went on to post that it will massively increase
Speaker 5: the already gigantic budget deficit to two point five trillion,
Speaker 5: and he also said it will American It will burden
Speaker 5: American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt, and he went on
Speaker 5: to add that Congress is making America bankrupt.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt addressed the criticism during
Speaker 5: a briefing, and here's what she had to say. Look,
Speaker 5: the President already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill.
Speaker 7: It doesn't change the President's opinion.
Speaker 3: This is one big beautiful bill and he's sticking to it.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 5: House Speaker Mike Johnson says, Elon musk criticism of the
Speaker 5: Republican Party's massive tax cuts and spending bill is very
Speaker 5: disappointing and terribly wrong.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 5: Johnson's shared that he spoke with the tech billionaire on Monday.
Speaker 5: Until reporters Elon is missing it, but he noted that
Speaker 5: it's not personal now. Mus's criticism also comes just days
Speaker 5: after his White House departure as a special government employee
Speaker 5: for DOZE Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, not all.
Speaker 5: Senate Republicans are on board with Trump's so called one
Speaker 5: big beautiful bill as well. Marjorie Taylor Green posted on
Speaker 5: x that she didn't know about the part of the
Speaker 5: bill that strips the state's rights to make laws or
Speaker 5: regulate AI for ten years, adding that she is adamantly
Speaker 5: opposed of that because we have no idea what AI
Speaker 5: will be capable of in the next ten years. Now,
Speaker 5: Kentucky Senator Ran Paul says he's a no unless the
Speaker 5: bill is changed to cut down the deficit.
Speaker 4: More.
Speaker 6: Let's take a listen to his comments.
Speaker 3: You know, I think there are three or four of us.
Speaker 10: If there are four of us who wanted it to
Speaker 10: be more fiscally conservative, I think we can reduce the
Speaker 10: spending levels and perhaps separate out the debt ceiling as well.
Speaker 10: But it takes four people with courage, and four people
Speaker 10: with courage can make the bill into anything we wanted to.
Speaker 5: He also posted on x that we can and must
Speaker 5: do better, and Utah Senator, also Republican, Mike Lee wrote,
Speaker 5: the Senate must make this bill better again. The multi
Speaker 5: trillion dollar tax and spending package narrowly pass the House
Speaker 5: and Senate and is taking and the Senate is taking
Speaker 5: up the measure this week, where Republicans can only afford
Speaker 5: to lose three votes.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: Trump went after Paul on social media, posting that he
Speaker 5: has very little understanding of the bill.
Speaker 6: Democrats say the bill cuts.
Speaker 5: Medicaid and other social safety nets by billions of dollars,
Speaker 5: and Republicans are saying there are much needed reforms to
Speaker 5: the bill and that it will cut the deficit. Of course,
Speaker 5: we the American people are waiting to see what Congress
Speaker 5: is going to do. There's a projected July fourth deadline
Speaker 5: to get this measure passed and on the president's desk.
Speaker 1: So I do like the fact that he did check
Speaker 1: the president, or he's not I shouldn't say checked the president.
Speaker 1: But he's going against the president, right because everybody's saying
Speaker 1: everybody on the president's team rides with him and dies
Speaker 1: with him, and whatever he says goes.
Speaker 3: And he's saying, I don't like this bill.
Speaker 1: And it's weird that he's not riding for the bill
Speaker 1: because it seems like the bill is beneficial to a
Speaker 1: lot of millionaires and billionaires.
Speaker 3: So the fact that he's saying he doesn't like the bill, it.
Speaker 1: Makes me smile a little bit because he's going he's
Speaker 1: going against what people are assuming or think that he
Speaker 1: would go forward.
Speaker 5: He just spent one hundred and thirty days, you know,
Speaker 5: thinking that he's just rooted out waste, brought and abuse.
Speaker 5: So I'm sure he felt like he wasted his time,
Speaker 5: that's right, you know. So, but uh, that's your six
Speaker 5: am front page news. At seven am, we'll talk about
Speaker 5: what's happening with Ice.
Speaker 1: So stick around all right, everybody else, get it off
Speaker 1: your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

Speaker 1: this morning we was all a little late this.
Speaker 4: Morning, August they bogus. It's all good.
Speaker 11: This one's for you too.
Speaker 4: Any anyway, Envy, shame on you for agreeing with this
Speaker 4: firing of Tom Tips, one of the best coaches the
Speaker 4: NBA has right now. It was not coaching. It was
Speaker 4: the players and Carl Anthony Towns making stupid files, really
Speaker 4: with a whole your whole squad, making silly foles, stupid mistakes,
Speaker 4: and just it was not It was not coaching. Tom
Speaker 4: Tibledeau was solid. He was a great coach for the Bulls,
Speaker 4: great coach for the next probably one of the best
Speaker 4: coach to mix up and had, and firing him is
Speaker 4: putting y'all in the wrong direction.
Speaker 3: I disagree. You know you would agree.
Speaker 1: The first game in the place is you believed we
Speaker 1: up fourteen with a minute and change left, we're supposed
Speaker 1: to lose that, love.
Speaker 4: Y'ah shouldn't have lost that. But it wasn't coaching.
Speaker 1: That was definitely. That was definitely coach. You can't blame
Speaker 1: cat for fourteen points. And then also the fact that
Speaker 1: he plays the player is the most in the league,
Speaker 1: and the players seemed like they burned down at the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: You don't think that's strange.
Speaker 4: Either, Okay, but you don't think your bench could have
Speaker 4: picked up the slack.
Speaker 1: I think if the bench was was was played the
Speaker 1: right way, I think they would definitely help. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at the last couple of games. A lot
Speaker 1: of the players on the bench I don't even know
Speaker 1: their names. Until last couple of games, I'd been.
Speaker 3: Like, who the hell is that?
Speaker 7: Who is that?
Speaker 3: I mean, because they just never played. But you know,
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: Like this is crazy. It's not gonna get y'all back
Speaker 4: into the finals. So I guess, man, But yeah, I
Speaker 4: just don't think. I don't agree with this fire. Our
Speaker 4: respect him. He was a great coach for balls. He
Speaker 4: got your coach for the Knicks. I just thought they
Speaker 4: this is a good movie for the next play. Now
Speaker 4: that that's all I wanted to say.

Speaker 14: the question where they asked where he says, should have.
Speaker 3: Did all this research before you started doing the latest.
Speaker 7: I did do it. I just I literally just read
Speaker 7: it again before it came in the article, and I
Speaker 7: just searched the word million.
Speaker 15: Yeah, they didn't say the number, but they said millions.
Speaker 15: It wasn't no two hundred thousand.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I literally just read this twice. Now I'm going
Speaker 14: to find the exact line, because.
Speaker 3: So you had to pay seven figures to get out
Speaker 3: of the deal. Yeah, that's millions.
Speaker 14: Oh, I didn't see that. But he said that he
Speaker 14: thought it was going to be like two. They thought
Speaker 14: it was gonna be like two hundred thousand or something
Speaker 14: because there was like three. He said he either didn't
Speaker 14: really want to get into it, but but he said
Speaker 14: that he thought that it was going to be like
Speaker 14: three albums that they owed. And they were trying to
Speaker 14: get out of it by just being like, Okay, we
Speaker 14: released this new project. Can y'all take profit from the
Speaker 14: new project and we'll give y'all you know this right
Speaker 14: here what we have right now. And they were like, no,
Speaker 14: we want our money, we want it now. So they
Speaker 14: went to jay Z and told jay Z what was happening,
Speaker 14: and they're like, look, here's a situation where in we
Speaker 14: need to figure this out.
Speaker 7: They'd already had a relationship, so jay Z was like, well.
Speaker 14: You just made my day. Like what do we need
Speaker 14: to do to get it done? And they got it
Speaker 14: done and they were able to come over. But another
Speaker 14: part of this article that I thought was important was
Speaker 14: that basically, you know how when Drake dropped the lawsuit
Speaker 14: and was claiming all these things against Universal Right and
Speaker 14: everybody including Charlamage and us here in the room.
Speaker 7: We're like, we're sure that these are.
Speaker 14: Things that the label has done to protect you at
Speaker 14: one point. Right, he is a legend a lot of things,
Speaker 14: but a lot of would Push Your Tea and Stephen
Speaker 14: Victor are saying and their articles is what Drake is
Speaker 14: saying Universal Music allegedly has done to him when it
Speaker 14: comes to Kendrick Lamar, like Push Your T says that
Speaker 14: there was in Stephen Victor win in more detail about
Speaker 14: songs that were beat that was supposed to be released,
Speaker 14: a song that's supposed to be released with Smoke Paranoia,
Speaker 14: and then there was another song Rick Ross, a song
Speaker 14: with Rick Ross on Mayback Music on one of the
Speaker 14: main mag music installations, and pusha T's verse was removed
Speaker 14: from both of these because they thought that it was
Speaker 14: a shot at Drake, and Stephen Victor is like, it
Speaker 14: wasn't They just interpreted it that way. And they came
Speaker 14: to me because Stephen Victor was also Pop Smoke released
Speaker 14: through him and was like.
Speaker 3: Look if he does pop Smoke with his artist, Yes,
Speaker 3: pop Smoke was.
Speaker 14: His artist and he's like if and they told him, like,
Speaker 14: if he doesn't remove these lyrics or if you guys
Speaker 14: don't remove the verse, this album's not coming out, and yeah,
Speaker 14: they went clear and Stephen Victor is like, well what
Speaker 14: about free speech? Like how you And then even with
Speaker 14: this new project, he was telling death Jim like, you
Speaker 14: guys can't keep doing this to push you T like
Speaker 14: you want him to think about what you guys are
Speaker 14: going to think or what you guys are going to
Speaker 14: interpret before he releases music.
Speaker 7: That's not fair to him because according to.
Speaker 14: Pusha T Into Stephen Victor, there's no direct shot at
Speaker 14: Drake on this song, on this in this kindric, there
Speaker 14: was a shot.
Speaker 1: Of Drake who cares speech Like what happened to the
Speaker 1: days where you can take a shot out of artists
Speaker 1: and it isn't just a shot on wax on record?
Speaker 3: Well, we never seen an artist sue like this either.
Speaker 3: I would love to know.
Speaker 15: The exact dollar amount that the Clips and Push Your spent,
Speaker 15: because they said it was, you know, seven figures. Does
Speaker 15: Death Jam even invest that kind of money into artists
Speaker 15: like Push Your Tea in the Clips anymore? Like it
Speaker 15: often seems like those legacy artists don't get that kind
Speaker 15: of investment.
Speaker 3: So I'm just asking they did.
Speaker 15: They did they spend more to get out of the
Speaker 15: deal than Death Jam would actually have spent on them.
Speaker 14: I was going to say, that's a good question, that's
Speaker 14: a really good question, because but I feel like the
Speaker 14: last Yeah, that's a really good question, because the last
Speaker 14: time that push how.
Speaker 6: Long they've been with them, how long.
Speaker 3: I feel like the Death with Jam with them for
Speaker 3: a while.
Speaker 7: I'm about to look it up. I feel like it.
Speaker 7: I feel like the Death Jam deal that they did,
Speaker 7: it was like a year too.
Speaker 1: But you gotta remember a signing bonus is it's also
Speaker 1: the money used for budgets as far as producing and
Speaker 1: studio budgets.
Speaker 3: Seven figures anymore.
Speaker 15: That's what I'm asking because when I hear Stephen Victim
Speaker 15: them saying it was a ton of money, I'm sure
Speaker 15: they gave clips of.
Speaker 1: Rack of money to sign and I'm sure they gave
Speaker 1: push your tea rack of money to sign with death
Speaker 1: a lot back.
Speaker 15: The article, the Billboard article says we paid them the
Speaker 15: money an insane amount of money. It wasn't like two
Speaker 15: hundred thousand dollars. It was a lot of money for
Speaker 15: an artist. It was a lot of money for an
Speaker 15: artist to come up with they bought themselves out of
Speaker 15: the deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they that sounded like a lot of money.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the clips.
Speaker 14: They were signed to JAM from two thousand and one
Speaker 14: to two thousand and nine and then really Yes, that's
Speaker 14: from two thousand and one to two thousand and nine,
Speaker 14: with their last album To the Casket drops that when
Speaker 14: that released in two thousand and nine. However, they recently
Speaker 14: signed a new deal with dev Jam for their upcoming
Speaker 14: album Let Guys Sort Of Them Out, which marks, which
Speaker 14: would have marked their first studio effort in fifteen years
Speaker 14: under Jam.
Speaker 1: According to the Ye gave him a rack of money.
Speaker 1: I'm sure g gave Push your tea rack of money.
Speaker 1: So they had to pay that back. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: I didn't know the clip was on def JM that long.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 7: I didn't either. I thought that it was all new.
Speaker 7: But we do switch.

Speaker 3: Good morning. Everybody is dj NV just hilarious.
Speaker 1: Charlamagne gud We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in
Speaker 1: some front page news. Now you missed it earlier, Morgan
Speaker 1: broke down that the Knicks fire head coach Tom Thibodeaux
Speaker 1: after five seasons. It was five winning seasons, but they
Speaker 1: feel like he wasn't.
Speaker 3: A great fitch.
Speaker 6: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: I do feel like that Thibodeau. I feel like he
Speaker 1: worked his players a lot. I felt like he didn't
Speaker 1: trust the bench. The game one where they lost the paces,
Speaker 1: I felt like that was a coaching problem. You can't
Speaker 1: be up fourteen and lose with you know, a minute
Speaker 1: and change left.
Speaker 15: You can't trust what you don't have. Though, Hey, everybody
Speaker 15: say you can't trust the bench. If they had the
Speaker 15: bench players, they would have been playing them. Like the
Speaker 15: Celtics can go nine deep there, okay, see Thunder can
Speaker 15: go ninety, the Pacers can go ninet deep. If you
Speaker 15: ain't got it, you ain't got it. It's like Penis. Wow,
Speaker 15: when somebody tell you go deeper and you ain't got it.
Speaker 7: To go deeper.
Speaker 1: But when you do see players on other teams and
Speaker 1: they're doing well, and they were our bench players like
Speaker 1: Obie Topping and and even McBride.
Speaker 3: It took him a long time to get him out.
Speaker 3: Topping was young though, and then that system.
Speaker 1: And he's busting as a system, but they never even
Speaker 1: played him. And then you got that new white boy
Speaker 1: that'shooting threes like crazy. I don't know if he's white
Speaker 1: or what his background is. I can't even think of
Speaker 1: the man's name. But he gets to be found out
Speaker 1: in the last couple of games that he could actually shoot,
Speaker 1: you know, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3: But what's up, Morgan, Well, what's up this?
Speaker 5: Congratulations to y'all because apparently you know y'all acted, I mean,
Speaker 5: you said on one thing. But getting one billion podcast
Speaker 5: downloads and counting, that's something to celebrate, right, Hey, Pappa
Speaker 5: Cluck was botob on yourself and big up your.
Speaker 3: Self, all right, that's pretty dope.
Speaker 1: And shout out to all the listeners for supporting riding
Speaker 1: and listening to us. If it wasn't for y'all, we
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here. We appreciate y'all every day.
Speaker 3: You know what happened? Reached a billion congraduation breakfast club?
Speaker 7: All right, coming up and other news.
Speaker 5: Family members of the man charged in the fire attack
Speaker 5: on Israeli hostages supporters excuse me in other news. Family
Speaker 5: members of the man charged in the fire attack on
Speaker 5: Israeli hostage supporters in Colorado have been arrested by ICE.
Speaker 6: Now, Homeland Security Secretary Christy.
Speaker 5: Nome and the said the wife and five children of
Speaker 5: Mohammed Sabury Solomon have been taken into custody to find
Speaker 5: out if they were involved or knew about the attack
Speaker 5: in any way. They are also being processed for expedited
Speaker 5: removal from the United States. Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noam
Speaker 5: made the announcement, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 8: Today the Department of Homeland Security and ICE are taking
Speaker 8: the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorists and the illegal
Speaker 8: alien Mohammad It's Solomon, into ace custody.
Speaker 3: How do you hate people more than you love your family?
Speaker 15: Like if you got if you got a wife and
Speaker 15: five kids, why would you throw that all away just
Speaker 15: because of your your bigotry and your prejudice towards another group.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand that logic.
Speaker 5: So this comes as Solomon is in the United States
Speaker 5: illegally from Egypt. He faces federal and state charges after
Speaker 5: at least twelve people were hurt in Sunday's attack. Now,
Speaker 5: police said Solomon dressed as a gardener to get close
Speaker 5: to protesters when he used a makeshift flamethrower and molotov
Speaker 5: cocktails on the crowd. Now, this story does inspire me
Speaker 5: on a personal note to encourage everyone to check on
Speaker 5: their family and the mental well being of those around you,
Speaker 5: because if something like this can happen, you could be
Speaker 5: considered guilty by association. This is crazy that the family
Speaker 5: is now being taken into custody as well. And so
Speaker 5: I would think that you know that that ignorance is bliss.
Speaker 5: Era has left and you better know what you need
Speaker 5: to know.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and yeah, and you and your actions always impact
Speaker 15: your family. I didn't know that they could do something
Speaker 15: like this, go arrest your whole family because of you know,
Speaker 15: something that you did, Okay, because I don't see how
Speaker 15: they would be accomplishes. But yes, what you do does
Speaker 15: impact your whole family in more ways than one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know, check in with the loved ones, y'all.
Speaker 5: Speaking of ice, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey issuing
Speaker 5: one of President Trump's top lawyers over his arrest at
Speaker 5: an ICE facility last month. Now, Rasbaraka filed the federal
Speaker 5: lawsuit against interim US attorney for New Jersey, Alena Hava
Speaker 5: on Tuesday, accusing her of defamation and false arrest. Let's
Speaker 5: take a listen to those comments from ros Baraka.
Speaker 2: All Right, I was cuffed, fingerprinted, took pictures of twice,
Speaker 2: once there and once in court for a classy misdemeanor
Speaker 2: which you send some ins to people for. You don't
Speaker 2: lock them up and take their fingerprints. Trespass is a
Speaker 2: state offense, it's not a federal offense.
Speaker 3: These guys need to find out.
Speaker 2: The law before they begin running their mouth about what
Speaker 2: is right and what is wrong.
Speaker 5: So just to note that trespassing can be a federal
Speaker 5: offense when it comes to when it involves federal property
Speaker 5: and restricted areas. So I anticipate much of this court
Speaker 5: case will come down to whether or not Mayor Baraka
Speaker 5: had access to that ICE facility. Now he responded to
Speaker 5: criticism of his actions by Trump administrator borders Are Tom Holman,
Speaker 5: saying he may have to sue him too. And of course,
Speaker 5: all of this comes as Baraka was taken into custody
Speaker 5: outside an ice detention center when he and members of
Speaker 5: Congress demanded answer about answers about the facility's conditions. He
Speaker 5: was charged with trespassing, but the case was later dropped
Speaker 5: by Hobba. A federal judge criticized Hobba's office for the
Speaker 5: arrest during the hearing last month, saying it suggests a
Speaker 5: worrying misstep and switching gears. The first black mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Speaker 5: is proposing a multimillion dollar reparations plan for descendants of
Speaker 5: the nineteen twenty one Tulsa Race massacre. Mayorn Munroe Nichols
Speaker 5: says one can only imagine what the Greenwood District, once
Speaker 5: known as Black Wall Street, could have contributed to the
Speaker 5: region had there never been a massacre. And of course
Speaker 5: he's to establish a private trust that would be used
Speaker 5: to provide scholarship and housing to the descendants of those
Speaker 5: impacted by the bloodshed.
Speaker 6: Let's take a listen to his comments.
Speaker 16: Imagine what it would have meant for outcomes for our children,
Speaker 16: Imagine what it would have meant for public safety, and
Speaker 16: most importantly, imagine the trust in faith we would have
Speaker 16: built in each other over these last one hundred and
Speaker 16: four years. And my office has been working alongside our
Speaker 16: legal department on the establishment of the Greenwood Trust, a
Speaker 16: private charitable trust that will raise and facilitate the investment
Speaker 16: of one hundred and five million dollars in private funds
Speaker 16: along our roads to repair.
Speaker 5: Restlers and rights so Nichol says, the trust will not
Speaker 5: involve direct cash payments, and the city council would have
Speaker 5: to approve the transfer of any city assets to it.
Speaker 5: The push comes just weeks after Democratic Congresswoman Summer Lea
Speaker 5: of Pennsylvania announced plans to introduce the Reparations Now Resolution,
Speaker 5: which calls for the US to spend trillions of dollars
Speaker 5: on reparations for black Americans. I know we've had this
Speaker 5: conversation many of times of about what reparations could look
Speaker 5: like for black Americans.
Speaker 6: So that's your faced news.

Speaker 5: more news. For coverage, follow a Black Information Network. Download

Speaker 17: Another another hit TV show? But this is global. This
Speaker 17: is like the first.
Speaker 7: Time I have been on a stage this big.
Speaker 17: Normally my shows are on up and coming networks, so
Speaker 17: I feel like an a new Actually I feel both veteran
Speaker 17: and both.
Speaker 7: I'm also an off you know.
Speaker 17: It's just this an idea, is a global conversation. That
Speaker 17: is kind of I'm sitting in that. Mostly my career,
Speaker 17: I've been thinking about a national conversation, but this is
Speaker 17: a global one. And I mean, I've always known that
Speaker 17: our stories are global, but for it to be a
Speaker 17: reality is pretty special and another hit. Right to be
Speaker 17: at it? Thirty years in the game, thirty years in the.
Speaker 3: Game, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Of course, for people that are just tuning in, you
Speaker 1: creating shows like Girlfriends the Game, Being Mary Jane, You've
Speaker 1: written on The Jamie Fox Show and so many others,
Speaker 1: but this one.
Speaker 5: Is so many, see so many see you.
Speaker 3: This one's on Netflix. Yeah, this one's on Netflix.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So how did the Netflix play come together?
Speaker 17: We're doing for I had a deal, you know, my
Speaker 17: career did garner me a really wonderful deal out of
Speaker 17: that deal.
Speaker 7: I did stamp.
Speaker 17: From the beginning, I hope you guys all saw that
Speaker 17: amazing documentary that Roger Ross Williams directed, but about doctor
Speaker 17: Abraham Kindy's work about the myths of racism. That was
Speaker 17: my first offering in my deal, and this was the second.
Speaker 7: It was special.
Speaker 17: From the beginning, I met Judy Bloom somebody Else's come on.
Speaker 3: Come on, two of my favorite storytellers.
Speaker 17: Coming come on, I mean, and that's God. First of all,
Speaker 17: I didn't even realize that the book was going to
Speaker 17: be fifty years old by the time we released. It
Speaker 17: was not even in my thinking of that time, seventy five.
Speaker 7: It was a beautiful synergy.
Speaker 17: One thing I will say about Netflix, when they're behind something,
Speaker 17: they are behind it completely supported, resourced. I think that's
Speaker 17: what's important to me in this moment of this hit
Speaker 17: show is that it was my vision was supported financially,
Speaker 17: and it was amazing to feel like, Wow, I'm supported
Speaker 17: to got money to have the vision that I want
Speaker 17: and to get the people that I need, the collaborators.
Speaker 7: It's been amazing.
Speaker 15: You said Judy Bloom was your first permission slip as
Speaker 15: a storyteller.
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: So how did your inner child feel knowing that you
Speaker 3: have done such justice to one of her iconic works?
Speaker 7: Why does my innery she feels on cloud nine. She
Speaker 7: is twirling, she is cartwill.
Speaker 17: I used to cartwell back in the day, I could
Speaker 17: cartweel backband all the things she's doing. All of that,
Speaker 17: I'm very proud of myself. When the opportunity to reimagine
Speaker 17: one of her books, there was no thinking. My hand
Speaker 17: just went up and I feel like it was a
Speaker 17: little protective as well. It was like, I want to
Speaker 17: protect that story. I want to be able to tell
Speaker 17: that story. But my little girl is like, she's she
Speaker 17: cabbage patches.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like she made it?
Speaker 6: Do you?
Speaker 17: I feel like you She felt like she's felt like
Speaker 17: she's made it a long while ago. I think this
Speaker 17: is different in that it's a full circle moment.
Speaker 7: I feel. I often say that you become.
Speaker 17: A writer as a reader first, and so I used
Speaker 17: to get lost in the pages of Judy Blue and
Speaker 17: so for me to be just the divinity of it,
Speaker 17: like the divineness of it that I would come full
Speaker 17: circle fifty years later, like those kinds of things. Right,
Speaker 17: It's almost like it was written for me. It was
Speaker 17: written for me and Judy.
Speaker 7: Matter of fact, I'm going to get a chance to
Speaker 7: meet her personally. I'm so excited to key with yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 7: yeah yeah.
Speaker 17: You live this life once and I'm gonna live in
Speaker 17: that dream. So I'm excited to meet her. We met
Speaker 17: at the time on zoom and talked on the phone
Speaker 17: and emailed, but just to meet her and say thank
Speaker 17: you and have her signed my book. I'm just that
Speaker 17: twelve year old girl is running to key with.
Speaker 3: I did it. I've done it a couple of times,
Speaker 3: just too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Just what I really would love is for people to
Speaker 17: honor more of their story, the craftsmanship sitting in the
Speaker 17: chair and writing.
Speaker 7: That woman sat in the chair and wrote. I mean
Speaker 7: it's like.
Speaker 17: She never got out of the chair, just writing and
Speaker 17: that and what it would do just someone sharing the story,
Speaker 17: just my own testimony, is it ignited something in me
Speaker 17: and I think that even the feedback I'm getting from
Speaker 17: the show, not just the show, but the shows I've
Speaker 17: had in my career is ignited other story I want
Speaker 17: us to do more by that. We have so many
Speaker 17: stories in us that will die in us if we
Speaker 17: don't even.
Speaker 7: Start crafting them and writing them down.
Speaker 17: Her book is still through this show now is still
Speaker 17: it still lives, It's universals, it's forever.
Speaker 7: But on bomb, the.
Speaker 5: Original book was written in the seventies, yees seventy five.
Speaker 7: Why did you choose.
Speaker 6: To specifically set this story in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 17: Well, I had to look at what would make it
Speaker 17: fresh today and what to maybe have to look at
Speaker 17: what where the kids are today? And Judy and I
Speaker 17: talked about well, they know a lot about sex, intimacy, connection,
Speaker 17: those things.
Speaker 7: I think we're further away. Even though we are more.
Speaker 17: Technical, technologically advanced, we don't have Though these tools are
Speaker 17: meant to connect us, we are using them in very
Speaker 17: disconnecting ways. And I think that to bring the phone
Speaker 17: into the conversation one it is an opportunity to talk
Speaker 17: about something unique to this culture. I mean, excuse me culture,
Speaker 17: but this generation. Excuse me, what it is doing to
Speaker 17: them personally emotional, their emotional self there and then how
Speaker 17: it's even affecting their physical self and then affecting their future.
Speaker 7: And that's what the book was about.
Speaker 17: How do we explore our emotional self, our physical self
Speaker 17: while maintaining a healthy future. I also want to talk
Speaker 17: about in the black family. By changing the white family
Speaker 17: to black, it allowed me to also talk about a
Speaker 17: time that I think is very important for us to document.
Speaker 17: Between Trayvon Martin's murder and George Floyd's murder, we as
Speaker 17: black people, we as Black families, as mothers and fathers,
Speaker 17: we were screaming into a vacuum about the fear over
Speaker 17: our children. And there was no amount of fancy zip
Speaker 17: codes or education that can save your child, you know,
Speaker 17: And that was scary and I wanted, I needed a
Speaker 17: place for me as a mother to least all of
Speaker 17: that fear.
Speaker 7: And then also then look at how.
Speaker 17: Much we are out of love, but we are raising
Speaker 17: our children from that fear, and how that is hurting
Speaker 17: our children and their inability to have a natural right
Speaker 17: of passage to explore again their emotional their emotional self,
Speaker 17: their emotional maturity, their physical self, their physical maturity, to
Speaker 17: have sex or not have sex, who to have it with,
Speaker 17: what's the right conditions, all of those choices that they're
Speaker 17: supposed to be making right now to protect the beautiful future.
Speaker 7: And that's another thing.
Speaker 17: We need to open up some space because our children
Speaker 17: also need a future and it's tough out there, and
Speaker 17: I couldn't imagine being them today, thinking about what do
Speaker 17: you want to be?
Speaker 7: We should grow up?
Speaker 17: Well, what's out there? And so and we adults need
Speaker 17: to get it together. And so this is a part
Speaker 17: of my offering.
Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Marra Brock a kill show
Speaker 1: or her new show Forever is on Netflix right now, Lauren.
Speaker 14: And back in the seventies it was controversial because of
Speaker 14: the things that it explored. Today it's not controversial because
Speaker 14: we are so open. Like what you talk about when
Speaker 14: you were crafting, like what the storyline would be and
Speaker 14: how you would redo it. Were there things that you
Speaker 14: were like, I want to make sure I get to
Speaker 14: or make sure I get in this storyline. Because you
Speaker 14: also made it feel closer to home for like black teens.
Speaker 14: You know, now Forever feels like it's our story. But
Speaker 14: you had to do it a different way, you know,
Speaker 14: I think it's controversial.
Speaker 17: Black male vulnerability. It's just there's no room for it.
Speaker 17: I think there's no images for it. And yet when
Speaker 17: I'm looking in the world and within my own children,
Speaker 17: their friends, and the community beyond that, a lot of
Speaker 17: boys and more specifically black boys, they're not all that hard,
Speaker 17: you know. They don't have any room for their complexity.
Speaker 17: They don't have any room for their feelings. Like it's
Speaker 17: always funny to me, especially about the group of boys
Speaker 17: I'm around. They're all privileged, they live a great life.
Speaker 17: Time to take a picture. They were laughing two seconds ago.
Speaker 17: You try and take the picture and then they get
Speaker 17: that stoic face and they're.
Speaker 7: Like, yes, what you mean mugging for like you.
Speaker 17: Know, and you realize how much that's imparted on young
Speaker 17: black boys all the time, about what is manly? What
Speaker 17: are those images of what a man is? I wanted
Speaker 17: to make room for the real reflection. I'm actually looking
Speaker 17: at the real thing. It's just what gets on that
Speaker 17: bigger screen and how important it is. I know, we
Speaker 17: talk about representation matters. That's why it matters. You got
Speaker 17: to see yourself, Yeah, in order to decide is that beautiful?
Speaker 7: Is that? How I want to look you know, is
Speaker 7: that rights act type?
Speaker 17: You know, I can't see it, And I think boys
Speaker 17: are getting their heartbroken a lot sooner.
Speaker 7: I felt so bad for justin the whole time.
Speaker 14: Why because I just felt like a lot of times
Speaker 14: the characters they were yearning for this like space of
Speaker 14: like I don't know, to just be okay, and then
Speaker 14: things would be going good and then something what else
Speaker 14: would happen to be? Something small would be like for Keisha,
Speaker 14: like the video get sent to her phone and she's
Speaker 14: finally in this relationship, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 14: things were just like happening. I'm like, Dan, kids, Like
Speaker 14: why can't they just be and do with these things? Yeah,
Speaker 14: it's life, and it's also technology that we didn't have.
Speaker 14: We got some freedoms without you know that they don't.
Speaker 14: They're not afforded. That's what I want to talk about.
Speaker 17: It's like, are we making any room for them? Like
Speaker 17: one of the things that I love when we every
Speaker 17: production meeting, I said, we're making an epic and intimate
Speaker 17: love story within a love letter to Los Angeles, right,
Speaker 17: And what that meant to me is that we need
Speaker 17: to see them in scope, in scale and epic. I
Speaker 17: need to see them their bodies in the space in
Speaker 17: Los Angeles. What that means is that they it's a
Speaker 17: feeling cinematically that I'm making you feel that they belong here,
Speaker 17: and when they belong here, they belong to us. And
Speaker 17: so you would engage with our children differently, psychologically, emotionally,
Speaker 17: those things are important in our image.
Speaker 7: On the details, the details.
Speaker 17: On anyone makes them feel more human to you. So
Speaker 17: I want to make just room for their humanity so
Speaker 17: that we think about the measures around technology, we think
Speaker 17: about what.
Speaker 7: The rules are for these kids.
Speaker 17: I mean, like, these kids are being told today that
Speaker 17: you make one false move, you won't get a scholarship.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, it's the truth who follows them
Speaker 3: for the rest of their lives and.
Speaker 7: The rest of them said, there's no humanity in that.
Speaker 14: That's how I felt, Maybe that that was the yes
Speaker 14: at the humanity part. I'm like, yo, she's young, she
Speaker 14: made a mistake.
Speaker 7: YEP.
Speaker 14: Now I was following her, and it's like he's in
Speaker 14: love and he just doesn't know how to navigated it.
Speaker 14: Now he feels like he's not a good person or
Speaker 14: not not a good person. He doesn't feel like he
Speaker 14: can win the girl in the beginning of things, and
Speaker 14: I felt bad for that, Like, but.
Speaker 17: You know what back in the day, Back in the day,
Speaker 17: always had to walk across the room to ask you
Speaker 17: to dance.
Speaker 7: That you ever have you ever done that? Of course?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Did Did you ever get rejected?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Before you Because I'll be honest, I only went when
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to be received. If I
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna get rejected or there was a
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty chance, I wasn't gonna try. Oh of course,
Speaker 1: remember it wasn't you know back then it was a
Speaker 1: party and everybody standing on the wall and you have to,
Speaker 1: like you said, you have to walk across. And if
Speaker 1: I knew this person wasn't feeling me, didn't weake, and
Speaker 1: me didn't have a crush on me, didn't write me,
Speaker 1: I wasn't going.
Speaker 3: But if I knew that got that little stair, that
Speaker 3: little smile, I was gonna go.
Speaker 17: So it was just all of those socials that you
Speaker 17: have to learn in real time.
Speaker 7: We're not learning that. There's no space for that.
Speaker 17: So I'm advocating for I want the kids to be
Speaker 17: back outside. Like it's even sad we shot on Fairfax Avenue.
Speaker 17: Right it's a ghost town right now, But back in
Speaker 17: twenty eighteen where it was depicted, that was a place
Speaker 17: for them to be. But there's we are where are
Speaker 17: kids allowed to be?
Speaker 15: But that's why I love the scene. I love the
Speaker 15: scenes at Mafics Vineyard. I love the scenes at the prom.
Speaker 15: Oh God, especially at the prom because I feel like
Speaker 15: in that moment Justin was you know, everybody talks about
Speaker 15: he's chasing the young lady.
Speaker 3: To me, it felt like he was chasing his blackness.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yeah, thank you for seeing that. Yeah.
Speaker 17: One of the things I was trying to say, trying
Speaker 17: to keep your son, trying to keep our children safe.
Speaker 17: Sometimes we're isolating them. He had a pretty prison, but
Speaker 17: it was up on a hill, isolated, and he's looking
Speaker 17: for more. But I can also understand don she's so
Speaker 17: scared to put him outside, you know, also scared is
Speaker 17: he going to measure up to where they are? You know,
Speaker 17: I'm saying she's probably not saying that, but that's psychologically,
Speaker 17: it's kind of it's under there.
Speaker 7: But it's fun. Fact. I was so proud as.
Speaker 17: A producer to put all those black and brown kids
Speaker 17: taking over the Pantamatica peer.
Speaker 7: I don't you know, I found one of location.
Speaker 17: I think that's I think the last time someone took
Speaker 17: over the pier at that scale was Tom Cruise.
Speaker 7: I was like, okay, but that means something to me.
Speaker 17: That means something that we how we take up the space,
Speaker 17: the epicness and the beauty of us. These kids are
Speaker 17: looking like this all over our country and we see
Speaker 17: it on Instagram or TikTok or things like that. But
Speaker 17: to put it on that scale, that level of beauty,
Speaker 17: Anthony Hemingway directed.
Speaker 7: His butt off in that. You know, the kids were
Speaker 7: just beautiful.
Speaker 17: Are costume designers a major. Our production design was amazing.
Speaker 17: Our cinematography was amazing, you know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 17: had we had the thing lit up. I was on
Speaker 17: cloud nine that day that we shot, and we got
Speaker 17: out of their safe and sound.
Speaker 7: That's also important.
Speaker 17: But it's our kids having space in the world, chasing
Speaker 17: their chasing themselves, figuring out who they are, including of
Speaker 17: their blackness, including of their you know, what they like,
Speaker 17: just who they are. Even the making room for I know,
Speaker 17: I get a lot of the comments around, wow he
Speaker 17: likes Narto. Yeah, a lot of black kids love Narto.
Speaker 17: You know, we're a part of the world.
Speaker 7: So that was fun.
Speaker 3: And as much as it's a story about the kids,
Speaker 3: it's a.
Speaker 15: Story about the adults, right, Like, like the way Judy
Speaker 15: Bloom made people feel seen at thirteen, it feels to
Speaker 15: me like you're making us feel seen at forty something
Speaker 15: fifty something. So what do those ages need that nobody's
Speaker 15: writing about.
Speaker 17: I'm gonna keep saying this over just more complexity, more
Speaker 17: more of our human side. Like I don't you know,
Speaker 17: I've said before, I don't you know. I don't believe
Speaker 17: in positive images. I think they can be just as
Speaker 17: damaging as negative images.
Speaker 3: What do it's found on?
Speaker 17: Because so the negative image is a product of a lie,
Speaker 17: going back to the documentary, like it's the perpetuating the
Speaker 17: lies and the midst of us that's been out there.
Speaker 17: So a lot of black people want a positive image
Speaker 17: because they want to rewrite the wrong of somebody else's
Speaker 17: view of me. But what that does and as an artist,
Speaker 17: it keeps me behind the eight ball. I'm chasing up
Speaker 17: and trying to clean up somebody else's mess. I'm from
Speaker 17: the Zori nil Hurston school of thought. I know my people.
Speaker 17: I see my people. I want to be able to
Speaker 17: talk about them fully and in the spectrum of our
Speaker 17: humanity there is light and dark. We are not We
Speaker 17: are not perfect to be perfect. That's just as hard
Speaker 17: to be perfect as it is to be bad. Like
Speaker 17: I want to out the spectrum of my humanity. I
Speaker 17: want to be able to make a mistake and have
Speaker 17: my village patch me up and put me back out there.
Speaker 17: I deserve that. You deserve that, we deserve that. And
Speaker 17: so I want the spectrum of who I am. And
Speaker 17: sometimes i'm you know, sometimes I'm not great, and sometimes
Speaker 17: I am in the same day, in the same hour,
Speaker 17: and I deserve that that sort of exploration of who
Speaker 17: I am as a human being, and I give that
Speaker 17: to my characters. I think down for instance, you know people,
Speaker 17: there's a lot of conversation about her as a mother,
Speaker 17: but that black mother has raised a lot of kids
Speaker 17: to get them, to keep them alive.
Speaker 7: Does she deserve looking at herself?
Speaker 17: Yes, Hi, my name is mar Brock a kill and
Speaker 17: I'm a former don I put my pain on the screen,
Speaker 17: I think, you know, I wanted to out of love.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to overprotect my children.
Speaker 1: Well, still kicking it with television producer screenwriter. You know
Speaker 1: her from Girlfriends and now she has her show on Netflix, Forever,
Speaker 1: Miss brock A killed Charlemagne.
Speaker 3: What emotional space does Forever occupy that none of your
Speaker 3: previous shows have.
Speaker 17: I think the cross generational idea. I just think the
Speaker 17: complexity of family and the generational connection and that I
Speaker 17: just really enjoyed that. I think also the scale emotionally.
Speaker 17: It allowed me to really scale us.
Speaker 7: I enjoyed that.
Speaker 17: And you know the kids say, take up space. It
Speaker 17: allowed me to take up space for us and for myself.
Speaker 15: It's forever about love you've had, love you've lost, or
Speaker 15: love you still believe in.
Speaker 17: All the above. I believe in love. One of the
Speaker 17: things I'm really proud of with the ending. I know
Speaker 17: there's a controversy about the ending, but what I love
Speaker 17: that Justin and Keisha showed us is how love endures.
Speaker 7: And it takes a shape, shifts, it's.
Speaker 17: Dynamic, can change, but love can stay present. And they
Speaker 17: showed us how to let go and keep love.
Speaker 6: In that ending.
Speaker 7: I think we could learn a lot.
Speaker 17: From Justin and Keisha. You know, the question is just
Speaker 17: a forever love or the one you remember forever. And
Speaker 17: I would like to think that we as we move
Speaker 17: through our lives as human beings, that when we choose
Speaker 17: to use that word right I loved you, that you
Speaker 17: there's a present that you were so present and so
Speaker 17: loving that even if you don't last, the.
Speaker 7: Couple doesn't last, the love can last.
Speaker 17: It just it might shift to wow, it might just
Speaker 17: shift to we always just sort of text each other
Speaker 17: on each other's birthday that you matter to me.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 17: One of the fun things you realize when you're re
Speaker 17: visiting the work, especially as young people. Oftentimes that's where
Speaker 17: our big dreaming happens, and those young loves that a
Speaker 17: lot of times the best part of you is packed
Speaker 17: in somebody else's memory of you.
Speaker 7: And so to have access back to those people.
Speaker 17: Is good for you to remember who you are when
Speaker 17: you lose your way, because you're gonna lose your way,
Speaker 17: and so love holds you there. So it is about
Speaker 17: the past, the present, and the future. And I think
Speaker 17: that love can take many different forms, you know. And
Speaker 17: you know, I have my young one plays baseball, and
Speaker 17: I've learned a lot about watching him sit in the
Speaker 17: stands play baseball.
Speaker 7: Long games, long games.
Speaker 17: But what's beautiful about it is everybody who walks into
Speaker 17: that batter's box has a different fight. So I often
Speaker 17: think about relationship. Right, did you swing the bat?
Speaker 7: Did you have a they call it? Did you have
Speaker 7: a good at bat?
Speaker 17: And sometimes you're at bat you strike out, but you
Speaker 17: still had a good at bat. And I think that's
Speaker 17: what I think love is about. Are we having a
Speaker 17: good at bat? Are we swinging?
Speaker 7: Are we using our technique?
Speaker 17: Are we using all the knowledge we've spent all week
Speaker 17: learning for this one to two times we get to
Speaker 17: walk in that batter's box and are we using it?
Speaker 7: Are we do we?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 17: Do we whatever the shoulders and the hips and all
Speaker 17: that kinds of all those things, all those things you
Speaker 17: got to do with this ball coming at you eighty
Speaker 17: ninety miles an hour, that's love. And I think that
Speaker 17: I would like to think that we can all approach
Speaker 17: it at.
Speaker 7: A good at that.
Speaker 3: And you know what Season two is going.
Speaker 17: I have ideas. I still have to go through the process,
Speaker 17: you know. Part of well, I think another thing that
Speaker 17: makes me successful is how I honor my partnerships and
Speaker 17: I come into it respectfully and really to always garner
Speaker 17: that energy back to me, but I have a concept
Speaker 17: of what I need to do. I won't share it
Speaker 17: until my partners are signed off on it. But my
Speaker 17: next steps are me coming into a meeting ready to
Speaker 17: talk to Netflix around Hey, this is where I see it,
Speaker 17: and this is where I think it should go, hearing
Speaker 17: their feedback, their concerns, taking that in consideration, sometimes debating
Speaker 17: it for a while, but finding a way to communicate
Speaker 17: why I think it's the way it's to go and
Speaker 17: if not, where's the compromise in that, and feeling good
Speaker 17: about the artistic flexibility that I have to craft story
Speaker 17: to figure that out. So I'm looking forward to that
Speaker 17: and success especially, No, sometimes success can make people tighten
Speaker 17: up too.
Speaker 3: It's not playing tomorrow. Yeah, I hit after hitt in
Speaker 3: multiple decades.
Speaker 15: Okay, streaming services, the linear television, give her what she wants,
Speaker 15: including the fifty million dollars for girlfriends.
Speaker 7: We need color.
Speaker 3: Is that simple.
Speaker 7: It's that simple. We've been talking about this. It's real.
Speaker 17: It's really that simple, and I'm excited. I think it's
Speaker 17: gonna come. I don't know, I feel I feel it
Speaker 17: like I don't know. Last time I was here, we
Speaker 17: talked about it and I think what was beautiful in
Speaker 17: my journey at that time was for me to claim
Speaker 17: the value and understand the boundaries and understand what it is.
Speaker 7: I don't know, just I think.
Speaker 17: And also this success breeds more success, so I kind
Speaker 17: of feel I don't know, I kind of feel like
Speaker 17: I think it's time.
Speaker 3: And a success girlfriends just had on Netflix.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, oh my god. They should see generational
Speaker 7: success and people watch it. I watch that.
Speaker 14: I rewatched the whole thing with my mom and I
Speaker 14: was like, this is so different. But you know, it's
Speaker 14: fine finding out people are putting girlfriends on for their
Speaker 14: go to sleep. It's their they call it their comfort
Speaker 14: TV show that they put on and they just let
Speaker 14: it run. And some people let it run while they
Speaker 14: go to sleep.
Speaker 15: I don't know if people know, but nine to eleven
Speaker 15: of this year marks twenty five years of girlfriends five
Speaker 15: years ago.
Speaker 7: Friend of this year. So we need to make that announcement, right,
Speaker 7: it's time. That would be the announcement today.
Speaker 3: It only makes sense. It has to happen. It's going
Speaker 3: to happen. I know what's going to happen.
Speaker 15: Yes, because it's like the one black sitcom that we
Speaker 15: really did not get any closure on whatsoever.
Speaker 3: And it's so many loose ends to tie up.
Speaker 17: You know, it's really it's not just loose ense, it's
Speaker 17: actually very relevant. I think it's a very harmic idea
Speaker 17: to have the show have a ending in a film.
Speaker 17: I just want to do a movie, so you really,
Speaker 17: I know you do, Charlayne. You are very clear about
Speaker 17: wanting to see a movie, are.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 17: I want to also say I'm always going to take
Speaker 17: a moment to say thank you because you also that
Speaker 17: means a lot to me as a storyteller, Like wow,
Speaker 17: that that level of impact on you, and even the
Speaker 17: fact that me and Judy Bloom are.
Speaker 7: The same thing. So I'm a thank you.
Speaker 17: But now you three you want to are you going
Speaker 17: to go spend some money at the theater to go
Speaker 17: see a girl walk to the theater?
Speaker 6: I'm trying to be in the day.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, I agree.
Speaker 17: It gave us a lot to have a conversation about,
Speaker 17: and I think that's really where everything is at is communication,
Speaker 17: have conversation, share ideas.
Speaker 7: Were not all were going to agree, but I think
Speaker 7: we all get to.
Speaker 13: Know each other.
Speaker 3: What do you want for ever? To get people permissioned
Speaker 3: to do and that's my last question.
Speaker 7: I promised love.
Speaker 17: I want people to think more about love in every
Speaker 17: aspect of their life. And actually, even if we're older,
Speaker 17: that it's okay to want that that first.
Speaker 7: Love kind of feeling.
Speaker 17: Like what do we need to do to get back
Speaker 17: to that first love kind of feeling?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 17: I just think it's I think as a human spirit,
Speaker 17: having a human experience, dancing with love all the time.
Speaker 7: It's got to be our top endeavor. So that's what
Speaker 7: I want.
Speaker 3: Marl Rocker kill.
Speaker 4: Legend.
Speaker 3: Appreciate you so much. We love you, we value you,
Speaker 3: appreciate you and all your work.
Speaker 6: That's right, thank you.
Speaker 7: I really appreciate being here. Thank you. Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: That's the breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is dj NV just Hilarry Charlamage the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with
Speaker 1: Lauren Long becoming a straight that.
Speaker 3: She gets somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 7: I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 3: She'd be having the latest on you.
Speaker 11: The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 15: Sometimes you have sack, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
Speaker 15: have a little bit.
Speaker 11: Every time it's the lead on the Breakfast Club talk
Speaker 11: to me.
Speaker 14: So there has been some more things with Offset and Cardi.
Speaker 14: Offset has now deleted his Instagram and his ex account.
Speaker 14: His ex account currently pulls up as this account does
Speaker 14: not exist and you can't even go to his Instagram.
Speaker 14: So what happened was there's this photo, a side by
Speaker 14: side photo of offset son Offset and Cardi's son Wave
Speaker 14: and Stefan Diggs. And people begin to point out, and
Speaker 14: this is an older side by side, but people begin
Speaker 14: to point out that Wave's hair is braided.
Speaker 7: Very similar to Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 14: The only difference is the part in the middle and
Speaker 14: where that starts, to be honest, but it is very similar,
Speaker 14: almost the same hairstyles. So people are, you know, we're
Speaker 14: making jokes about it, and they were, you know, saying,
Speaker 14: trying to make it seem like Cardi did this on purpose,
Speaker 14: and just it must have been a lot for Offset,
Speaker 14: not even must it was a lot for Offset, because
Speaker 14: he actually responded to it. He said, now once he
Speaker 14: tweeted before he deleted his account. Now, when somebody died
Speaker 14: for playing with my son, then they're gonna call me
Speaker 14: a crash out. I don't care how I look trolling
Speaker 14: with my kid ends bad. Then after this he deactivated
Speaker 14: his accounts now following that or previous to that. Earlier
Speaker 14: in that day, Cardi B had actually went on Twitter
Speaker 14: spaces and she talked about just the fact that because
Speaker 14: she's now out and doing all the things with Stephan
Speaker 14: and she responded to the spousal support conversation, men in
Speaker 14: particular are calling her a hoe and She's like, I
Speaker 14: don't understand why I'm getting all of this, like all
Speaker 14: of this smoke. So let's take a listen to Cardi
Speaker 14: B on the trauma she says she experienced. I think
Speaker 14: has all statilistic Listen.
Speaker 18: Do not understand why I'm getting so much disgusting hate
Speaker 18: from men. I'm even being called off.
Speaker 7: It is so crazy.
Speaker 18: I don't understand how I was married for seven years
Speaker 18: and I was faithful for seven years. The constant lies,
Speaker 18: constant lies, the gas lighting, it was really messing up
Speaker 18: with my head. It got to the point, like last year,
Speaker 18: last year, I really felt like I was going crazy.
Speaker 18: I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, Like my baby came
Speaker 18: out five pounds. I was so depressed because the lies,
Speaker 18: the constant drama. I would wake up every single morning paranoid.
Speaker 18: If I was still there, I was gonna end up
Speaker 18: going to jail because I was gonna end up killing
Speaker 18: them seriously with my own beer hands.
Speaker 15: Cardy's not a hope, nor should anyone be calling her that,
Speaker 15: nor should anybody be hating on Cardi. I just think
Speaker 15: that us as men were watching the situation and saying,
Speaker 15: damn that hurts.
Speaker 3: We're sick, you know what I.
Speaker 15: Mean, We're just as sick as probably off that feels
Speaker 15: when he sees it, because she has moved on. She
Speaker 15: looked damn good moving on, and that's what you're supposed
Speaker 15: to do, right, like you know, when you get out
Speaker 15: of the situation, and it wasn't the best situation. You're
Speaker 15: supposed to be on social media looking good with your
Speaker 15: new boot. But boy it hurts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both of.

Speaker 1: dating somebody knew when she's happy. She says she was depressed,
Speaker 1: she was upset. Now the fact that she's happy, I'm
Speaker 1: just glad that she's happy.
Speaker 15: It should just be a learning lesson for men more
Speaker 15: so than anything. Yeah, because boy, and then women will
Speaker 15: move on. And when they move on, they're gonna look
Speaker 15: damn good doing it, and you're gonna be sitting around
Speaker 15: absolutely doing what said doing right now.
Speaker 3: Tweeting is social media.
Speaker 14: And she put up with a lot before she moved
Speaker 14: to Like, she put up a whole lot, put it
Speaker 14: with a whole lot before she moved on. And then
Speaker 14: look what she even said, Our baby came out five
Speaker 14: found she was stressed out and everything.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: So like that that that's crazy, that's crazy. But I

Speaker 3: of the day.
Speaker 15: But like i'd be yes donky today for Wednesday, June fourth,
Speaker 15: goes the defense Secretary of Pete Hegseth. You know, Pete
Speaker 15: Hegseth are the same guy who was sharing details of
Speaker 15: a missile attack on signal.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 15: I don't know why he just didn't download WhatsApp like
Speaker 15: the rest of us. But Pete Hegseth the man who
Speaker 15: provides the president with expert okay, and I put expert
Speaker 15: in air quotes advice on national security and defense matters.
Speaker 3: It's clearly bored.
Speaker 11: Okay.
Speaker 15: There's a lot going on in the world that I'm
Speaker 15: sure he could be focused on. But yesterday we found
Speaker 15: out that he is focused on renaming ships. Yes, ships, Okay.
Speaker 15: Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to review the names
Speaker 15: of vessels honoring gay rights activists Harvey Milk, Harriet Tubman,
Speaker 15: and Rufe Beta Ginsburg. Let's go to ABC seven for
Speaker 15: the report.
Speaker 19: Please, the Secretary of Defense, Pete heg Seth has ordered
Speaker 19: the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship.
Speaker 19: The ship is named for murdered gay rights activists and
Speaker 19: Navy veteran Harvey Milk. Military dot Com first report at
Speaker 19: the timing of the announcement during Pride Month is intentional
Speaker 19: parby Milk was forced to resigned from the Navy in
Speaker 19: nineteen fifty five because of his sexual orientation. The USNS
Speaker 19: Harvey Milk is part of the John Lewis class of
Speaker 19: oilerships that are named after civil rights leaders.
Speaker 15: Okay, we all know that the Trump administration wants to
Speaker 15: purge all programs and policies and books and social media
Speaker 15: mentions of any references to diversity, equity, and inclusion. They
Speaker 15: are literally trying to erase anything they consider other out
Speaker 15: of the history books.
Speaker 3: Okay, it makes no sense.
Speaker 15: What other reason would you have to not want a
Speaker 15: ship named after Harvey Milk or Harriet Tubman or RBG.
Speaker 15: It's just the racier, nothing more, nothing less than everyone
Speaker 15: just needs to call it what it is. By the way,
Speaker 15: none of those three people would be considered dei hires.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 15: They all earned their legacies, they all earned their reputations.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 15: The reason they have their names on those ships, the
Speaker 15: reason people wanted to name those vessels after them, is
Speaker 15: simply because they're trailblazers who actually did things that people
Speaker 15: should recognize in honor, and you want.
Speaker 3: To erase that.
Speaker 15: Why I need to see the signal chat about this Pete, Okay,
Speaker 15: I need to see what your real reasoning is, not
Speaker 15: the politically correct reasoning you given to the media. Just
Speaker 15: tell us the truth, because the truth is you want
Speaker 15: to erase the legacy of civil rights leaders and gay
Speaker 15: icons like Harvey Milk in America. We cannot heal from
Speaker 15: what we don't reveal, Okay. Hiding our history is just
Speaker 15: simply gonna hurt our future. Now, Pete, you are the
Speaker 15: Secretary of Defense, Okay. Focusing on your job is crucial
Speaker 15: for the safety of not only this country but the world.
Speaker 15: Every American should be saying to themselves, Hey, Pete, don't
Speaker 15: you got better things to be doing? Okay, Pete, excef,
Speaker 15: you yourself just highlighted the threat posed by China's military
Speaker 15: build up. Okay, in particular concerning Taiwan. You could be
Speaker 15: focused on that. What about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? Pete,
Speaker 15: you were absent at a recent NATO meeting on Ukraine
Speaker 15: and had people questioning the US's engagement in the conflict.
Speaker 3: Don't tell me you was absent.
Speaker 15: From the meeting because you're too busy worried about ships
Speaker 15: being named after Harriet Tubman. Okay, Yo, Pete, Department of
Speaker 15: Defense has proposed significant budget cuts, which I'm happy about
Speaker 15: because anytime you want to talk about wasteful spending, you
Speaker 15: should start at the DD. But if these budget cuts
Speaker 15: reduce senior military ranks by twenty percent, like they are proposing,
Speaker 15: then that could impact the military strategic.
Speaker 3: And operational readiness.
Speaker 15: And y'all definitely not gonna be ready if the Department
Speaker 15: of Defense is too busy worried about renaming ships. Okay, Pete,
Speaker 15: except I don't care what a ship is named. When
Speaker 15: there are headlines in the Economic Times that read world
Speaker 15: War three looms, Global leaders given two weeks as the
Speaker 15: clock takes toward catastrophe. See while we worried about the
Speaker 15: Diddy trial, others are preparing for World War three.
Speaker 3: Okay, I was reading an article this morning.
Speaker 15: The headline was Britain's biggest biggest companies are preparing for
Speaker 15: a third World War. As various conflicts threatened to erupt,
Speaker 15: bosses are taking steps to ensure their businesses survive. The
Speaker 15: Deputy Chief of Russia Security Councils said last week, hold
Speaker 15: On said, last week, I don't remember everything.
Speaker 3: It was a blur.
Speaker 15: I don't think it was last week yes, but he said,
Speaker 15: and I quote regarding Trump's words about Putin playing with
Speaker 15: fire and really bad things happening to Russia. I only
Speaker 15: know of one really bad thing, World War III. I
Speaker 15: hope Trump understands this. That was a direct quote from
Speaker 15: the Deputy chief of Russia's Security Council. And Pete Hexsef.
Speaker 15: You worried about the name of ships.
Speaker 3: No you're not.
Speaker 15: You're trying to distract from some of the things I
Speaker 15: just said. But what you will learn, Pete is truth
Speaker 15: is like the sun. You can shut it out, but
Speaker 15: it is not going away. Please get Pete Hegsef. The
Speaker 15: sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 7: Oh no, you are the dog gee.
Speaker 3: Of the day.
Speaker 7: Dog gee.
Speaker 3: Ye so dumb beyond it's a distraction.
Speaker 15: Stay focused, all right. World War three is apparently around
Speaker 15: the corner. I don't see that either. Holy not, we
Speaker 15: won't see that either. The others are preparing for it.
Speaker 15: So then you just pay attention. Yes, all right, well
Speaker 15: thank you for that donkey Today.
Speaker 1: Now, when we come back, we have the first black
Speaker 1: actress to play Alphabra full time and Wicked on Broadway,

Speaker 3: Did I say it right?
Speaker 13: Pretty close?
Speaker 3: What is it? Cobetta Betta? Welcome, thank you, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 3: Now if you don't know who she is, she's an
Speaker 3: actress and the first black actress.
Speaker 5: Wait wait, wait, look let me say something because she
Speaker 5: because she off here before we just started. She said,
Speaker 5: how did y'all find me? I said, you're the first
Speaker 5: black actress to play alpha be full time? How can
Speaker 5: we find she said?
Speaker 3: How dare I?
Speaker 6: Exactly?
Speaker 18: Sir?
Speaker 14: She is your girls black actress to play Alpha Be
Speaker 14: full Time on the Broadway Wicked.
Speaker 3: How congratulations first and foremost, thank.
Speaker 13: You so much. I mean, it's a dream come true.
Speaker 13: It's like surreal sometimes and sometimes I'm like, oh yeah,
Speaker 13: this is exactly where I always thought I would be
Speaker 13: doing something like impactful for our community and our industry.
Speaker 13: But most days are just like I'm just dumbfounded. I
Speaker 13: can't believe I'm singing these songs.
Speaker 3: Well, what did it mean for you personally? And what
Speaker 3: did it mean for Brown personally?
Speaker 13: It was an opportunity to tell the story of my community,
Speaker 13: our struggles, our strengths, our power, for our for our industry,
Speaker 13: for the entertainment industry. I think it just opened the
Speaker 13: eyes of who can do what and who was capable
Speaker 13: of what, and just like brought a more creative outlook
Speaker 13: to art.
Speaker 3: Now you weren't Hamilton before, But I want to start
Speaker 3: from the beginning my birth. Okay, did you how did
Speaker 3: you get into the arts?
Speaker 13: Like?
Speaker 3: What was it so special to you? Said? This is
Speaker 3: what I wanted to do.
Speaker 13: You know, It's funny. I started at church and I
Speaker 13: hated singing. My parents saw something special in me and
Speaker 13: kind of like thrust me into music.
Speaker 3: And correct.
Speaker 13: Both my parents are from Ethiopia immigrants, so I'm first generation.
Speaker 13: And I loved playing outside. I loved playing sports. I
Speaker 13: was super into my academics too. I was just like
Speaker 13: a really hype kid. I feel like I was just
Speaker 13: I couldn't be stopped. I've lots of energy, especially for
Speaker 13: this role, but like being inside rehearsing and like, I
Speaker 13: just was like, I want to be outside and I
Speaker 13: want to be playing. But I started to see like
Speaker 13: how music affected people, specifically in church, and how that
Speaker 13: moved people spiritually, and I was like, wait, I think
Speaker 13: I'm good at it. Something. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 13: I don't know how to hone in on it, but
Speaker 13: I know that it just feels special. So I wanted
Speaker 13: to keep trying. And then I started doing like community
Speaker 13: theater and middle school and high school, and in college,
Speaker 13: I decided I wasn't going to study it. I had
Speaker 13: other interests. I studied diplomacy and world affairs and undergrad
Speaker 13: and politics, all different angles to make like positive change
Speaker 13: to the world around me.
Speaker 3: And then you got to Broadway. So explain how you
Speaker 3: got to Broadway and those feelings.
Speaker 13: Midway through my five year run in Hamilton. The audition
Speaker 13: for Alphabet came up, and I already actually had another
Speaker 13: job offer that I was very excited to embark on.
Speaker 13: And my team was like, I mean, it depends on
Speaker 13: what you want to do, and I was like, WHOA,
Speaker 13: No black woman has ever played this role. I'm not
Speaker 13: going to pass up this opportunity. So auditions it was
Speaker 13: like six rounds across maybe like four months of me
Speaker 13: flying to New York from La on zoom, just lots
Speaker 13: of different It's a long process. If that's such a
Speaker 13: technical skill, would that that is required for this character.
Speaker 13: So after all those rounds and up and downs of
Speaker 13: the emotions, I got it, I don't I got it,
Speaker 13: I don't am I good?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 13: It's just like so much inner turmoil. I finally got
Speaker 13: the call from my agent and I started cracking up.
Speaker 13: I'd like I couldn't even like emote. I was just like,
Speaker 13: this cannot be happening right now.
Speaker 6: They thought it was a joke or you didn't know
Speaker 6: what you felt.
Speaker 13: I think I didn't know what I felt. I was
Speaker 13: like in shock.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 13: At that point, I think I had convinced myself that
Speaker 13: it was highly possible. I was I was in the
Speaker 13: final like four people maybe, but I was like, Universe,
Speaker 13: God Mother, I receive whatever is mine. However, I want this,
Speaker 13: and I feel like I would be great for this moment,
Speaker 13: but like I accept the outcome. So I think I was.
Speaker 13: I was playing both outcomes internally so well that no
Speaker 13: matter what that call, whatever the outcome of that call
Speaker 13: would have been, I would have been ready. So I
Speaker 13: think my body was like, Okay, this is happening. I
Speaker 13: had to like go on a walk and like ground
Speaker 13: myself to remember what was real.
Speaker 15: I couldn't believe how many times do people try to
Speaker 15: gaslight you, like is America ready for a black alphable?
Speaker 3: Like the damn green face isn't fantasy enough.
Speaker 13: It's so silly, and it's people say things like she's green,
Speaker 13: like it doesn't matter what her race is. And I'm like,
Speaker 13: she's green exactly. She looks different than everybody else, Like
Speaker 13: that is the point. So I do think the world
Speaker 13: was ready. I do think the world was ready, and
Speaker 13: I feel so grateful that it was me.
Speaker 3: You know, it's only dressing.
Speaker 15: Like I took my nine year old and my six
Speaker 15: year old to see Wicked on Broadway, and they saw
Speaker 15: the movie, So it's the dim alpha.
Speaker 3: But is black black? Isn't that like if I say,
Speaker 3: if I say that, like you know, she's black.
Speaker 9: Right like.
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 13: It is crazy that this generation gets to live in
Speaker 13: this in this climate and see it as normal, Like
Speaker 13: that's what they get to grow up experiencing. And that's
Speaker 13: my favorite part of this is this whole generation that
Speaker 13: is just this is their norm.
Speaker 15: Why do you think it took decades for a black
Speaker 15: woman to get this role full time? Like what does
Speaker 15: that say about Broadway?
Speaker 3: If anything?
Speaker 13: I think art is a reflection of the society it represents.
Speaker 13: So I don't think Broadway was particularly doing anything outside
Speaker 13: of what our country represented. And as times have changed,
Speaker 13: so has art. Art has shifted. So I feel like
Speaker 13: it's exactly the timing is exactly right. And again, like
Speaker 13: I can't speak to why it took this long, but
Speaker 13: all I know is I'm happy I'm here.
Speaker 3: Do you get a lot of love or do you
Speaker 3: get a lot of hate?
Speaker 13: I get a lot of love. I mean, haters are haters.
Speaker 13: There's always haters, there's always critics.
Speaker 1: The reason I asked is like I took my caids too,
Speaker 1: And of course the majority of people in there are others, well,
Speaker 1: I should say, are white.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, but I was wondering mothers.
Speaker 7: The other Actually I'm green, okay?
Speaker 3: And what type of hate do you get? Is it letters?
Speaker 11: Is it?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 3: Because I thought that the play was phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Like I said, when I seen you in Hall, I
Speaker 1: took my three year old and then I took my
Speaker 1: twenty three year old.
Speaker 13: Wow, and they both enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: They both joined.
Speaker 13: It's crazy across the generations people relate.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's the hate.
Speaker 13: I don't know. I wouldn't even call it hate more
Speaker 13: than just like strong opinions, because less so about race,
Speaker 13: more just because this is a long running show twenty
Speaker 13: two years. Everyone who has seen who comes to see
Speaker 13: Wicked has seen Wicked more or less. The amount of
Speaker 13: people who is who are new to this piece of
Speaker 13: work is very little. So everybody knows every word, every intonation,
Speaker 13: like every way, every single line goes, or every vote
Speaker 13: part goes. So it's less like why they're a black alphabet.
Speaker 13: I don't really get that there's more celebratory energy about
Speaker 13: the racial thing. But people just like what they like,
Speaker 13: and you know what, that's fine. I cannot be for everyone,
Speaker 13: and I think that's what this show is teaching me,
Speaker 13: especially this character who has to fight with the world
Speaker 13: around her not trusting her and misunderstanding her. But she
Speaker 13: always says true to who she is, and that I
Speaker 13: think is my biggest takeaway from playing this role.
Speaker 1: We'll still kicking it with Lindsay at Cobbetta. She's the
Speaker 1: first black actress to play Alphabra full time in Wicked
Speaker 1: on Broadway. I took my kids there. Amazing show.
Speaker 7: Jess, what was the most challenging part about playing Alphaba?
Speaker 6: If there are any, I.
Speaker 13: Would say a mental and emotional fatigue. The show is
Speaker 13: very emotionally taxing. I am constantly faced with like the biggest,
Speaker 13: most complicated inner feelings that specifically a black woman can experience,
Speaker 13: feeling othered, feeling misunderstood, not being trusted, disillusion believing in someone,
Speaker 13: trusting in someone, and then realizing that it's not what
Speaker 13: it seems. So I think there's a lot of times
Speaker 13: when I leave the show and I have to just
Speaker 13: like I don't even turn on the lights in my
Speaker 13: apartment for hours. I have to be like dead in
Speaker 13: my head because it's just like the emotional rollercoaster of
Speaker 13: what the character requires also requires me to plug in
Speaker 13: and charge when I'm not there.
Speaker 15: Let's stay there for a minute. Yeah, because alphabet is
Speaker 15: one of the most demanding roles.
Speaker 13: And if not the most.
Speaker 15: If you have so, what's your apprecial ritual to get
Speaker 15: into that hedge space and voice space every night?
Speaker 13: I think I definitely take stock in how I'm feeling.
Speaker 13: If I'm feeling like more tired, maybe I listen to
Speaker 13: like hype music or like take a walk or like
Speaker 13: take a hot yoga class something to get me my
Speaker 13: energy going. But if I'm feeling particularly stimulated that day,
Speaker 13: so when I was listening to like jazz and something calmer,
Speaker 13: I usually do like a thirty minute warm up, half
Speaker 13: of it physical, half of it vocal. And then while
Speaker 13: I'm getting the greening, which takes thirty minutes to do
Speaker 13: my makeup every day. When they're doing that for me,
Speaker 13: that's when I play music, and music I feel like
Speaker 13: is what drops me into whatever emotional space I need
Speaker 13: to get into the character.
Speaker 5: Make up only sixteen thirty minute thirty minutes. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I expect it more right.
Speaker 13: People usually think it takes like hours.
Speaker 3: Okay, probably just do your face, neck and hands right.
Speaker 13: Right and like a little bit down my back, but
Speaker 13: like it's only a little bit down my arm.
Speaker 3: So do you have a life on Broadway? Can you
Speaker 3: have a life on Broadway with the amount of shows
Speaker 3: that you?
Speaker 13: Let me tell you eight a week? We have one
Speaker 13: day off yesterday, I could say there, you can have
Speaker 13: a life on Broadway. When you're alphabra, though, which is
Speaker 13: a different.
Speaker 3: Beast, there is no life.
Speaker 13: It's very difficult.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 17: I try.
Speaker 13: I'm a communal being. I need the energy of others,
Speaker 13: so I try to balance it. But most states I
Speaker 13: do spend chilling on my own because, like I said,
Speaker 13: the mental toll is really I really have to like
Speaker 13: relax in order to bring my whole heart and soul
Speaker 13: emotionally to the character. So everybody has a life, but
Speaker 13: I have less of a life. But you know what
Speaker 13: the sacrifice is worth it? Let me tell you it
Speaker 13: is worth it.
Speaker 15: What's harder hitting that defying gravity? Note eight times a
Speaker 15: week are carrying the weight of representation every time the
Speaker 15: curry cool?
Speaker 13: I ain't that the question? Definitely the representation. It's just
Speaker 13: it means so much to so many people, and like
Speaker 13: I think another back to what you were saying about
Speaker 13: the hardest parts of the role, Like I put a
Speaker 13: lot of pressure on myself to make every interaction I
Speaker 13: have through this period of my life has something meaningful
Speaker 13: to audiences black, brown, white, it don't matter, Like I
Speaker 13: just I think that that opportunity can sometimes feel like
Speaker 13: pressure to me, just because I care so much and
Speaker 13: I really want, especially the kids. I want kids to
Speaker 13: go away feeling empowered. So defying gravity is like it's
Speaker 13: like a science is like this is how you're sing it.
Speaker 13: It's vocal technique, but with the cultural, racial, emotional aspects
Speaker 13: of it, like those those things take real care, and
Speaker 13: I really put a lot of effort into how I
Speaker 13: present myself and what I share with my community.
Speaker 3: So you feel actual pressure to represent.
Speaker 13: I do feel pressure in that. I feel like it's
Speaker 13: more self induced, just because, like I said, I care
Speaker 13: so much about positively impacting the worlds around me, and
Speaker 13: that's I feel like that's been one of my dreams
Speaker 13: since I was a kid, Like I never knew what
Speaker 13: I would do growing up. But that's kind of why
Speaker 13: I went into politics for a little while too, and
Speaker 13: still have a passion for it. Is that I care
Speaker 13: so much about just like positively inspiring people. So yeah,
Speaker 13: I do feel pressure, only because that's what I choose
Speaker 13: to care about. I don't think anybody puts it on
Speaker 13: me besides myself, which is why this role teaches me
Speaker 13: to stay, you know, connected and true to who I am,
Speaker 13: regardless of what's happening around me.
Speaker 15: Because I feel like if you just bring your full
Speaker 15: self to the roles.
Speaker 13: That's enough. I completely agree, and that's exactly what the
Speaker 13: character does. She brings herself to all these crazy life
Speaker 13: situations and that's how she survives and thrives.
Speaker 6: Have you met Cynthia Arriva.
Speaker 13: I haven't met her yet. If she did send me
Speaker 13: flowers on my debut, my first show, which is sweet,
Speaker 13: but I think we should probably be doing some stuff soon. Excited.
Speaker 15: How do you navigate being celebrated but still feeling like
Speaker 15: you're breaking through systems that weren't designed for you.
Speaker 13: I celebrate myself because what I'm doing is a literal revolution,
Speaker 13: and I believe art is a part of social change
Speaker 13: and political growth. I believe art shapes culture and culture
Speaker 13: shapes art. It's sort of symbiotic in that way. So
Speaker 13: I feel like the fact that I have the opportunity
Speaker 13: to break through these barriers also like strengthens my relationship
Speaker 13: with myself. I'm like, yeah, you did that.
Speaker 3: Who is your elphable growing up?
Speaker 13: Like?
Speaker 3: Who made you believe you can defy grab it?
Speaker 13: That's a great question, I would say seeing Cynthia for sure.
Speaker 13: I mean Cynthia has done so many amazing projects which
Speaker 13: like haven't just inspire me endlessly. Audre McDonald also how
Speaker 13: she has crossed over to different industries, to within the
Speaker 13: entertainment industry. So seeing black women be sort of like
Speaker 13: multi hyphenated artists, it's inspired me so much and made
Speaker 13: me feel like like if they can do it, you
Speaker 13: know I can't do.
Speaker 3: Are you a same thing or doing anything together? At
Speaker 3: the Tony Awards, you said.
Speaker 13: I pray, honey. That's what I'm I am asking the
Speaker 13: universe and doing all the networking I can. She is hosting,
Speaker 13: I pray.
Speaker 7: I pray.
Speaker 13: So if anyone can hear me bring me to the Tonys.
Speaker 13: I would like to be in attendance. I think it
Speaker 13: would be really great for our community.
Speaker 3: You haven't been nominated yet.
Speaker 13: I can't be nominated for Wicked because it's not a
Speaker 13: new show in this season. I know that, Yeah, that's
Speaker 13: that's a thing.
Speaker 3: That's crazy. But if you're an actress, are actor that
Speaker 3: takes the role to another.
Speaker 13: Level, yeah you've done I will thank you one to
Speaker 13: I agree. I do think that long running show should
Speaker 13: have the opportunity to award you know, particular performances in
Speaker 13: that way. But for my knowledge of how it works,
Speaker 13: it's about the new works of that season. There's like,
Speaker 13: maybe you know, September of the last year until March
Speaker 13: of the current year, some timeline that the show has
Speaker 13: to open from what I underson.
Speaker 5: So the first week, your first week on broadbab after
Speaker 5: you realize, okay, this is really eight shows, what was
Speaker 5: that feeling on that Sunday?
Speaker 13: You know, this is probably gonna be surprising to you maybe,
Speaker 13: but I was like, no, I got this.
Speaker 6: I was like, I was so.
Speaker 13: Concerned with my ability to sustain this, and I was
Speaker 13: wrong for doubting that I really was. I finished the
Speaker 13: week and I was like, look, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 13: I'm tired. My body's tired, my voice is tired, my
Speaker 13: mind is tired. But like I'm equipped. I feel like
Speaker 13: I feel like I've had a lot of work experiences
Speaker 13: that I've built me to be able to sustain this,
Speaker 13: and like my body is strong, so long as I
Speaker 13: take care of her, she serves me. So I finished
Speaker 13: that weekend. I was like so impressed with my own
Speaker 13: ability to be honest.
Speaker 7: Shot, I'm a sure right person, got the job.
Speaker 13: Thank you are amazing.
Speaker 1: You keep killing it. Like I said, my family loved it.
Speaker 1: We had a great time. So candy was expensive. I
Speaker 1: ain't go from my kids wanted every piece.
Speaker 13: Of can they know that the kids will eat the snacks,
Speaker 13: but they had.
Speaker 3: A great time. Loved this so much. Thank you so much, man, pleasure.
Speaker 3: You gotta go check it out.

Speaker 7: on out. I'm coming girl.

Speaker 13: Appreciate it and you all amazing. Thank you all right, Lyncia, Lyncia, Lyncia,

Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen. It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning. Thank
Speaker 3: you so much, Thank you so much, The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy just Hilario Charlamagne, the guy.
Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the Latest
Speaker 3: with Lauren lom you coming straight fast.
Speaker 14: She gets them from somebody that knows, somebody detail, the
Speaker 14: homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 11: She'd be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren
Speaker 11: la Rosa.
Speaker 15: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
Speaker 15: have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 11: Well, it's the leader on the Breakfast Club to me.
Speaker 14: Well, yesterday in the courtroom, a man named Eddie Garcia
Speaker 14: took the sand. So, Eddie Garcia is the guy that
Speaker 14: I mentioned to you guys a couple of days ago
Speaker 14: when I was said that somebody got on the sceand
Speaker 14: got their community and then was supposed to come back
Speaker 14: and testify, but they didn't end up getting to him.
Speaker 14: So Eddie Garcia worked at the Intercontinental Hotel, which is
Speaker 14: the hotel where the Cassie beating video went down. At
Speaker 14: the time of the video, he was the security supervisor.
Speaker 14: So he got on seeing and testified that they received
Speaker 14: one hundred thousand dollars from Diddy to get rid of
Speaker 14: the Cassie beating video. That is what he alleged went down.
Speaker 14: He says that it was split three ways. It was
Speaker 14: split between one of his bosses at the Intercontinental who
Speaker 14: reseived fifty thousand dollars Garcia. Eddie Garcia alleges that he
Speaker 14: then took thirty K and he gave another one of
Speaker 14: the employees twenty k. These are all people who were
Speaker 14: like involved in like actually saw the video erase the
Speaker 14: videos off the server. One of them is a manager
Speaker 14: who actually allegedly had the conversation in addition to Eddie
Speaker 14: Garcia with Christina Karan and Diddy. So the way he
Speaker 14: says this went down is he says, one day he
Speaker 14: received a phone call, and this was following the Diddy
Speaker 14: incident that happened on March tenth, twenty sixteen. He says
Speaker 14: he got a phone call from a New York number
Speaker 14: and on the phone, he alleges, was Christina Karam, who
Speaker 14: was an employee of Ditties, and on the phone she
Speaker 14: at the time she was she for staff for Combs Enterprises.
Speaker 14: So he says, on the phone, she then asked him
Speaker 14: about the video, the security video, and he says that,
Speaker 14: you know, she claimed that Diddy was intoxicated at the
Speaker 14: time in the video and that he didn't remember the
Speaker 14: event was soever. So then she goes on and she's like,
Speaker 14: she's asking for the video to be deleted, and Garcia
Speaker 14: is like, well, I don't have any control over that.
Speaker 14: I want to like, I can't, like you see the video.
Speaker 14: I can't talk about things being deleted. I can't talk
Speaker 14: anything about this video. You have to speak to hotel management.
Speaker 14: So then he says he was later informed that Christina
Speaker 14: Karam allegedly was in the hotel lobby looking for him
Speaker 14: and she was asking for the video. So he says
Speaker 14: that again he told her to talk to hotel management
Speaker 14: or that they would have to file for a subpoena
Speaker 14: like something in court where they could get the video.
Speaker 14: So he does admit though that he told her like,
Speaker 14: look off the record. The video is really bad, but
Speaker 14: there's nothing that I can.
Speaker 4: Do for you.
Speaker 14: So then Eddie Garcia says that he later got another
Speaker 14: phone call from Christina Karam, but at that time, Diddy's
Speaker 14: on the on the phone. So when he gets on
Speaker 14: the phone, Diddy's on the phone asking to again get
Speaker 14: the video, and he's like, you know, Diddy was nervous,
Speaker 14: he was fast talking allegedly, but again he denied the
Speaker 14: request to give them the video. After that phone call,
Speaker 14: They then called him again, but this time it was
Speaker 14: from Diddy's own personal phone, allegedly, and Diddy was basically
Speaker 14: telling him like, look, this video could ruin my career.
Speaker 14: So Garcia is like, listen, I don't have access to Eddie.
Speaker 14: Garcia is like, I don't have access to the server anyway,
Speaker 14: but if you, you know, want to make something happen,
Speaker 14: my manager is a person that you would have to
Speaker 14: talk to. And did he told him like, look, if
Speaker 14: you can figure this out, we'll take care of you.
Speaker 14: And Garcia at the time says that he interpreted that as,
Speaker 14: you know, a money offer. So they then connect him
Speaker 14: or he then goes and talks to his supervisor, his
Speaker 14: manager supervisor, and this is the guy that he says,
Speaker 14: name is Bill Madrano.
Speaker 7: That's the guy that got the fifty k. Now.
Speaker 14: He says that when he talked to him, his supervisor
Speaker 14: originally said, look, I'll do it for fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 14: Just tell Diddy allegedly like, you know, fifty thousand dollars,
Speaker 14: put me on the phone with them, I'll take care
Speaker 14: of it. So he gets back on the phone with them,
Speaker 14: he says, did he refers to the Madrano guy as
Speaker 14: like his angel because he's willing to do it. So
Speaker 14: then Eddie Garcia they go and meet up with Diddy
Speaker 14: at this like a high rise building in West la.
Speaker 14: He says that Diddy's counting like money through a money
Speaker 14: counter and the money counter rang up one hundred thousand
Speaker 14: dollars and he gave him the money. He says, he
Speaker 14: said that did he said to him, like, you know,
Speaker 14: be careful how you spend all the money or whatever.
Speaker 14: But there were NDAs that were brought to him. Did
Speaker 14: he allegedly also act for their like IDs of everybody
Speaker 14: that was involved. Did he act allegedly if there was
Speaker 14: other videos on the server, like if that was the
Speaker 14: only copy, if there was anything on the cloud and
Speaker 14: he told him, like you know that that was all
Speaker 14: that was there, and he says that did he he
Speaker 14: alleged that did he actually FaceTime Cassie and put Cassie
Speaker 14: on the phone, And she also allegedly confirmed that she
Speaker 14: did not want the video to become public.
Speaker 7: She had a movie coming out and she just didn't
Speaker 7: want it to become public.
Speaker 3: So so question what does this have to do with
Speaker 3: his case?
Speaker 4: Like what is that?
Speaker 3: What does this fall under? Like his racketeering or what
Speaker 3: charge does this apply to.
Speaker 14: I believe that this is going to go to him
Speaker 14: using money and his influence to be able to cover
Speaker 14: things up and move around. Like so you have all
Speaker 14: the domestic violence videos which show the whole force coercion
Speaker 14: and did they're legend. This is why Cassie was scared
Speaker 14: to stay in a relationship. But then you have him
Speaker 14: number one, If it's yes, bribery, but also if you're
Speaker 14: if you are knowingly right, if this is proven that
Speaker 14: he did this, that means you knew you did something
Speaker 14: wrong and then and after you know you do something wrong,
Speaker 14: you then go and use your power, you're influencing, your
Speaker 14: money to then cover it up.
Speaker 3: Is bribery?
Speaker 1: Yes, Getting a guy asked for the money though didn't
Speaker 1: did he just say hey, I want the video deleted
Speaker 1: and the guy said it'll take fifty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3: Or is that bribery if the guy asks?
Speaker 14: But prior to that, Eddie Garcia says, did he told
Speaker 14: him I'll take care of y'all. So he interpreted that
Speaker 14: as a money offer. And then there was the other
Speaker 14: hotel security guy. It was weeks ago.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm looking at the New York Post article. In
Speaker 15: the New York Post article said, Sean did he combs
Speaker 15: bribe to hotel security? So if you look at the
Speaker 15: racketeer and charge, bribery is one of the things when
Speaker 15: I hear Lauren explaining all this, I'm just trying to
Speaker 15: figure out what exactly does that have to do with
Speaker 15: his case and his bribery.
Speaker 14: Yes, but but so the bribery, the physical because people
Speaker 14: keep people are upset.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I'm not saying that we know it.
Speaker 14: I'm saying people are trying to figure out why do
Speaker 14: they keep even going back to this incident, like why
Speaker 14: do you care to prove that there was money pay?
Speaker 7: Why do you care to talk about bribery?
Speaker 14: Because he's not being charged with domestic violence, But the bribery,
Speaker 14: the physical, alleged violence, all these things are things that
Speaker 14: the government is saying. This is an entire conspiracy that
Speaker 14: he uses his employees and his businesses to successfully do,
Speaker 14: and people are scared to get away from it so allegedly,
Speaker 14: so if they're scared, you can make them do anything.
Speaker 3: Quick question.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that Trump was convicted for when
Speaker 1: he bribed old girl ribery. Regardless the porn star. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And now the next question, then how did the video
Speaker 1: get out? Did they know how the video got out then,
Speaker 1: because if they wiped all the clouds and nobody else
Speaker 1: had a video, how did that video come out there?
Speaker 14: So Eddie Eddie Garcia says that one day they just
Speaker 14: saw the video in the media. He says that he
Speaker 14: got screenshots sent to him. They just literally, he said,
Speaker 14: the video years later, they just saw on the news outlet.
Speaker 14: One of the guys who was involved, who responded during
Speaker 14: the time of the actual incident, text them a screenshot
Speaker 14: of the video on CNN, and Eddie Garcia said when
Speaker 14: he got all these sex messages, he deleted all of
Speaker 14: the related messages because he didn't want nothing to do
Speaker 14: with it. But he didn't go into exactly how it
Speaker 14: made it. He just said it popped up on seeing it, and.
Speaker 15: They said another hotel guard testified that he recorded the
Speaker 15: footage on his phone so he could show his wife.
Speaker 14: That's the first guy we talked about him a minute ago.
Speaker 14: That was the very first guy from the Intercontinental Hotel
Speaker 14: who's now an LAPD officer.
Speaker 3: You know that dude only ended up with thirty dollars,
Speaker 3: but he broke it.
Speaker 7: He because he burst it down thirty thousand, and he
Speaker 7: bought a car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gave He gave his boss fifty grand. He
Speaker 3: gave another security guard twenty.
Speaker 14: Because it was there were multiple people involved, the boss
Speaker 14: had to say, yeah, we'll do it.
Speaker 7: That's who said the fifty k.
Speaker 14: And then then you have this other guy who was
Speaker 14: involved because he's seeing the video, he knowing the conversation,
Speaker 14: he's knowing that they came to the hotel.
Speaker 7: So they're all involved at.
Speaker 15: Every point week ass negotiators bro yes, video like that
Speaker 15: is worked for a few million?
Speaker 3: Are y all crazy? Did he said in my career?
Speaker 3: But he won't.
Speaker 14: But they also they recognized who did he was, So
Speaker 14: I'm sure that there's like a fan element to that, right.
Speaker 14: But also at the time, Eddie Garcia is making ten
Speaker 14: dollars and fifty cents per hour.
Speaker 3: And that's why that's why she would have been negotiated.
Speaker 3: And you got to have a bird around you, because
Speaker 3: a bird would have went to Google and.
Speaker 15: Been like, Yo, this dude is worth such and such
Speaker 15: one hundreds and millions of dollars, one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: We've shooting two low guys and did. He told him,
Speaker 1: this is gonna ruin my career if this ever comes out.
Speaker 3: What you got eyes?
Speaker 15: I would watch that video yourself and know that could
Speaker 15: ruin Diddy's career in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's because there's a difference between the trouble between
Speaker 1: if you get a hundred thousand and a million like that,
Speaker 1: the same trumble.
Speaker 14: But I think the first security guard, like I really
Speaker 14: think that there was a fan element to this because
Speaker 14: the first security guard that you're talking about that we
Speaker 14: talked about a couple of weeks ago, he literally recorded
Speaker 14: the video because he's like, no one's going to believe
Speaker 14: that this is happening.
Speaker 7: Like you see Diddy in this video.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, have you seen Austin Powers?
Speaker 15: I need one million dollars okay a piece between all
Speaker 15: three of us. And then when Diddy would have been like,
Speaker 15: that's a lot of money, more money, more problems.
Speaker 7: But then.
Speaker 14: What movie was Casey and she had the perfect match
Speaker 14: coming out? She had testified that, Remember she did the
Speaker 14: perfect match with Mike You remember, oh yeah, so she
Speaker 14: she had the perfect match coming out or whatever, and
Speaker 14: she testified that that weekend. Remember she did the freak
Speaker 14: off because she didn't want to get into any physical
Speaker 14: altercations or whatever allegedly with Diddy because she wanted to
Speaker 14: be able to go to her movie premiere. So she's
Speaker 14: she's saying, I don't want this to come out because
Speaker 14: my movie's coming blah blah blah. But the man is
Speaker 14: making ten dollars and fifty cents per hour. And then
Speaker 14: after that, he said that even after the money exchange happened,
Speaker 14: did he act that year texted them like happy Eastern,
Speaker 14: So you know, he feels like he has like a
Speaker 14: relationship now with Diddy or whatever. But did he take
Speaker 14: him that according to uh, but he told the guy
Speaker 14: you my angel before he gave him the money. That
Speaker 14: was the fifty k guy that was the supervisor. But yeah,
Speaker 14: because now they're getting rid of the video. So I mean,
Speaker 14: outside of that, the courtroom is self exploded because there
Speaker 14: was a lady inside of the court who started yelling
Speaker 14: at Diddy that they out to get them, and she
Speaker 14: dared the security guards to pull out their guns and
Speaker 14: use them, and y'all cords getting crazy.
Speaker 5: It's just a lot going on over there. It was
Speaker 5: Correg K Barney that something, No, it was just another
Speaker 5: just a random woman.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 14: It was a random woman inside of the courtroom. Because
Speaker 14: people they just let random people in there. Yeah, because
Speaker 14: you people of the public can come to view it,
Speaker 14: like they have a right to come and view it,
Speaker 14: and they do. Like there was people in there with
Speaker 14: their families the other day when I was there, my
Speaker 14: Happy birthday to Quincy Brown.
Speaker 3: Did he's son?
Speaker 14: Oh we've never heard his last name. Yes, yeah, we
Speaker 14: never heard his last name.
Speaker 13: Right, I was like.
Speaker 3: His real name, Quincy Brown.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've never heard his last name.
Speaker 13: Damn.
