1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Target CEO Brian Cornell reportedly called a meeting with Reverend

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton to discuss boycotts against Target. After Reverend Sharpton

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: released this statement saying, if an election determines your commitment

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: to fairness, then fine. You have a right to withdraw

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: from us, but then we have a right to withdraw

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: from you. Reverend Sharpton told CNBC that he was interested

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: to see if Target CEO was willing to confirm its

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: commitment to the Black community and reaffirm a previous pledge

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: to support black owned businesses. After the meeting, Reverend Sharpton

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: posted on Instagram that the meeting was quote very constructive

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: and candid.

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: Candid.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Sharpton also stated that he would inform allies, including Reverend

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Jamal Bryant, of the discussion with Target CEO. Since the meeting,

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: Pastor Jamal Bryan says, now that the forty day Target

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: fast is over, black consumers should still continue to boycott

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Target since the Target, since the Target has not made

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: any changes. Yeah, so it's still on according to the

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: ship Bryant.

20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: Mm well, well you know what, can I just say this?

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: I think, what'd you think? Go ahead? See?

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 3: I think even though Al Sharpton has been at this

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: longer in terms of an activist. I think Jamal Brian

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: may be a little bit in his feelings because they

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 3: didn't meet with him, and he's probably wanting the credit

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: for being the biggest contributor to this, which I can't

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: argue that he's not. And when they met with Al

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: Sharpton but not with Jamal Bryant, he will be in

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: his feeling some kind of way because this was so

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: to speak, his baby. Al Sharpton is a shaker and

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: a mover and can get things done. And I think

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: it's time for us to collaborate, the Jamal Bryant's and

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: the Al Sharpton so we can have a point of action.

34
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: What hurts us more hot in our community is when

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: we go our separate ways. We have got to do

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: something we've never done before, unify. That's been the hardest

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: thing for our community to do. And so it's and

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: and and our Sharpton reached out to tell Jamal Brian.

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: But Jamal Brian say, well, even though the forty day

40
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: fast is over, we should continue because they still in

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: his ways, he may have a very very valid point.

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: But Our Sharpton, as a leader and Jamal Briant as

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: a leader of some people.

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: Should get together, come together and get a consensus and

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: then bring it to the people collectively and stop all

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: this individual going downhill and coming out with your own

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: version of it when you're asking all of us to

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: do something.

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, at least all of us stick together in

50
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: the target boycott itself that we do, not all of us.

51
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: Well, we're talking.

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 5: We got no we got on this show. I ain't

53
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 5: really sure about you. You tell miss Sippys she can't

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: go on to talk that you might have cut her foot.

55
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 5: All all right, moving on. This is a serious story.

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: I'm sure you guys know about this. Shannon Sharp, host

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: of Club Shaysha, is being sued for fifty million dollars

58
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 5: by an unnamed woman that is accusing him of sexually

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 5: violating her during their rocky but consensual two year relationship.

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 5: The thirteen page lawsuit was filed in Nevada on Sunday

61
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: and accuses Shannon Sharp of assault, sexual assault, battery, sexual battery,

62
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is also accused

63
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: of recording their sexual encounters and sharing the videos with others.

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: According to the lawsuit, they met back in twenty twenty

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: three at a gym in la and a Planeff is

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: thirty years.

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Younger than Sharp. The lawsuit alleges that Sharp was controlling

68
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: and verbally abusive, and when the Planeiff tried to distance

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: herself from Sharp in October of last year, he forced

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: himself on the Planiff, and in January of this year,

71
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: according to the lawsuit, Sharp went to the Plaineiff's house

72
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: and violently sexually assaulted her again. The unnamed plaintiff is

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: being represented by attorney Tony Busby. Sharp's attorney issued a

74
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: statement on his behalf calling the Plaineff's allegations bs and

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: shared graphic graphic messages that allegedly came from his accuser,

76
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and those messages back up Sharp's side of the story.

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: Wow, this is you know Busby is that's everywhere.

78
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: Time we see that for me, draws a red flag.

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: This guy, Toney Busby man is if he's he's an

80
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: opportunist and if he can find a way to capitalize

81
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: on a celebrity and bring him down for some money,

82
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: he gonna take it.

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: He's doing it now. I've read, I've read the text

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: exchanges that allegedly.

85
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: Come from this victim from the planeff sharp.

86
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are graphic, They are graphic.

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. Here's here's my opinion of this, and I'm not

88
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: passing judgment either way. My opinion is this. I get

89
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: concerned when I hear things like this because let's suppose,

90
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: let's suppose this turns out to be false. I'm just saying,

91
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: let's just suppose this is hypothetical. If this turns out

92
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: to be false, see the damage to this man's h career,

93
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: brand and image is done. And then what happens when

94
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 3: you find out that this was a consentual relationship for

95
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: two years and according to those types that everything.

96
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying nothing happen. I don't know. I'm

97
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: not passing judgment. I'm just saying, let's.

98
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: Let's if this works out to where he's proven not

99
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: guilty the person. Yeah, man, because now you come in

100
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: here and you slammer this guy, and look, it's no

101
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: telling what's gonna happen behind this, because once you turn

102
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: it into this, you know, ESPN might have to have

103
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: a say, so, the podcast people might have to have

104
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: a say so, you know, And so I'm concerned about that.

105
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: All right, I need to do it thorough investigating enough.

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: Just because receipts at air doesn't mean what is they

107
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: making videos for?

108
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: What is that you're listening Hardy Morning Show
