Speaker 5: point of having a pet turtle? Let that Let that

Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get the show crack and Charles D. King

Speaker 1: let's go alling everybody. It's dj n V Charlamagne, the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front
Speaker 1: page news. Our guess co host Willie D is here
Speaker 1: and Teslin figure out. Good morning, Good morning, dj MV.
Speaker 7: Good morning to the big homie Willie D. Good morning, Willie.
Speaker 1: You can't hear you. We turned off so you can hear.
Speaker 1: He said, good on, she said, good morning morning. Okay,
Speaker 1: now let's go on, Charlemaine, let's get right into it.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, let's go on.
Speaker 7: Yes, I didn't think I was the first one to
Speaker 7: admit that. I never thought this particular day would come.
Speaker 7: But former President Donald Trump was indeded on four felony
Speaker 7: accounts that accuse him of working to overturn the results
Speaker 7: of the twenty twenty presidential election in the run up
Speaker 7: to the violent riot by his supporters at the US Capital.
Speaker 7: Let's listen to US Attorney General General Garland how he
Speaker 7: explains what happens. And let's also listen to Trump's response.
Speaker 7: Take a listen.
Speaker 8: So immediately after the January sixth attack on our democracy,
Speaker 8: career men and women of the Justice Department engaged in
Speaker 8: what has become the largest investigation in our history. In
Speaker 8: November last I appointed Jack Smith a special Council to
Speaker 8: take on the ongoing investigation in order to underline the
Speaker 8: Department's commitment to accountability and independence. Mister Smith and his
Speaker 8: team of experienced principal career agents and prosecutors have followed
Speaker 8: the facts and the law wherever they lead. Any questions
Speaker 8: about this matter will have to be answered like the
Speaker 8: filings made in the corner.
Speaker 9: Former President's campaign swiftly responding to the indictment, saying they
Speaker 9: consider it an attempt by the Biden administration to interfere
Speaker 9: with the upcoming twenty twenty four election. The state calling
Speaker 9: the four felony charges quote fake.
Speaker 10: Hey man, Donald Trump, Oh glad, Ted, I just wanted
Speaker 10: to just give you those those charges right quick, Conspiracy
Speaker 10: to the FRIU of the United States, conspiracy to a
Speaker 10: struct and official proceeding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct
Speaker 10: an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Speaker 1: So for felony charges.
Speaker 5: Hey man, Donald Trump got more criminal charges than Nick
Speaker 5: Cannon got kids. And Nick Cannon couldn't catch Trump if
Speaker 5: he tried seventy eight criminal charges. Okay, Nick Cannon is
Speaker 5: never gonna have that many kids. And look, nobody is
Speaker 5: above the law. You are innocent until proven guilty in
Speaker 5: this country with the consequences to your actions. That We've
Speaker 5: been watching Trump operate with impunity for a long time,
Speaker 5: and it seems like it's all caught up.
Speaker 6: Yes, seventy eight charges, but it should be around one
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty six minimum because he is a criminal.
Speaker 4: He's an international criminal, and he.
Speaker 6: Should have been locked up a long time ago, him
Speaker 6: and his constituents.
Speaker 4: That's right, I said it. Well, it's happening now.
Speaker 1: It's not easy.
Speaker 5: Clearly we've never seen this before, a president, you know,
Speaker 5: being indicted, Like there's a president having all these criminal charges.
Speaker 4: So this is something new.
Speaker 5: So I'm sure something new would take a little bit longer,
Speaker 5: but this is it's definitely happening now.
Speaker 1: But he can still run for president, right, that's what
Speaker 1: they're saying. He's still leading in the polls right now,
Speaker 1: and it's not closed. So we have these conversations and yes,
Speaker 1: he's being indicted, but he still could run for president,
Speaker 1: and there's no problem with him running and he still
Speaker 1: can be the president, right, absolutely absolutely, and he can
Speaker 1: drop his own charges, right, he could wipe his own
Speaker 1: charges away. I don't know about that.
Speaker 7: I'd probably be yet another charge if Pole would to
Speaker 7: do that. Let's just take step by step. But like
Speaker 7: Charlottage said, yes, he's absolutely still running and the polls.
Speaker 7: I don't know if this is more about Biden and
Speaker 7: more about Trump or this country, but they are still
Speaker 7: neck and neck in the general election. I did want
Speaker 7: to do just a quick for folks who may not
Speaker 7: be following all of the charges that you mentioned, just quickly.
Speaker 7: There's still one pending investigation, the Georgia election interference, and
Speaker 7: then the three indictments that have happened is now the
Speaker 7: January sixth insurrection, the classified documents, and the hush money.
Speaker 7: And you know again, I was one of the ones
Speaker 7: that was skeptical to see if this January sixth indictment
Speaker 7: whatever happened, and so it did.
Speaker 5: Here we are, I do say, though, we definitely need more,
Speaker 5: you know, qualifications and stipulations than run for president, because
Speaker 5: that's the problem I have. Man, think about any other
Speaker 5: business or any other industry, if you was facing all
Speaker 5: of this, if you had all of these criminal charges,
Speaker 5: you'd be suspended, you'd be fired.
Speaker 4: People wouldn't want to do business with you, they separately.
Speaker 7: I mean, you can't even get an apartment, right, you
Speaker 7: can't even get an apartment in some cities, you know,
Speaker 7: with a feeling a place to list over your head,
Speaker 7: and that alone run for president United States.
Speaker 5: And we know we haven't been convicted yet, but even still,
Speaker 5: even still even being innocent until proven guilty, so many
Speaker 5: industries would separate themselves from you if you was facing
Speaker 5: all of these charges.
Speaker 1: Yet he can still run for presidents, right A God damn,
Speaker 1: we don't have.
Speaker 5: We gotta have some better stipulations and qualifications for running
Speaker 5: a president, man, and.
Speaker 7: Be president, not just run, but actually be president of
Speaker 7: the United States.
Speaker 1: Don't want to the.
Speaker 6: Last part about it is that this dude has been
Speaker 6: committing crimes from day one, like he is a an
Speaker 6: international criminal. And I can't wait for the day that
Speaker 6: we make accountability great again. I can't wait for that day.
Speaker 4: You feel like it's happening. Now we're gonna see.
Speaker 6: Though, now it's not happening, because let's face it, man,
Speaker 6: this country is ran by a bunch of corrupt people.
Speaker 6: That's the bottom line, all the way at the top,
Speaker 6: both sides, they are corrupt, they are dirty, and we
Speaker 6: need to have term.
Speaker 4: Limits these people.
Speaker 6: It's people that are that are in office holding office
Speaker 6: that's telling us how to live our life, that's in
Speaker 6: control of our lives. And they're way dumber than us.
Speaker 6: And we sit back and we're letting it happen. These
Speaker 6: people should be all locked up, they should all be.
Speaker 4: Put in jail.
Speaker 1: Indeed, what accountability is happening right now?
Speaker 2: Will?
Speaker 5: I mean the guy and the guy got seventy eight
Speaker 5: criminal charge, let me charge it four indictments to start.
Speaker 6: Let's get to the convictions, man, and let's get to
Speaker 6: the jail time they got it, because I don't see
Speaker 6: them putting And just like most people, we most of
Speaker 6: us don't believe he'll ever do any time in prison.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 6: And that's it, and that speaks volume about this. I
Speaker 6: never thought this would happen. I never thought you would
Speaker 6: get just seventy eight criminal charges. I never thought you
Speaker 6: would get indicted. So you know the president too.
Speaker 1: We thank you. We'll see in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: Let's get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight
Speaker 1: five one oh five one. If you need the vent

Speaker 4: We got no boys.
Speaker 13: Yes, all right, listen, but here gon thing with Trump.
Speaker 13: If y'all look at it, they're playing chess, not checkers.
Speaker 13: They put the Santas to the place. I mean, Trump
Speaker 13: go where you gotta go, just to put the Santis
Speaker 13: for where they want to go where they got to
Speaker 13: play this strategically, they just put a kick to it.
Speaker 5: I don't think Republicans want to stay diseaser, brother. I mean,
Speaker 5: one thing we know about Republicans, they're gonna fall in
Speaker 5: line regardless. But when you look at these poll numbers,
Speaker 5: it don't seem like they want the sant disease. I'm
Speaker 5: looking at something right now. It says if the election
Speaker 5: for the Republican presidential nominee were hell today is in
Speaker 5: the New York Times, by the way, which candidate would
Speaker 5: you most likely vote for? Donald Trump fifty four percent?
Speaker 5: The Santis has seventeen percent. I don't think they want
Speaker 5: run like y'all think they want run.
Speaker 1: Well, get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five
Speaker 1: eight five one five one if you need the event,
Speaker 1: you can hit us up when we come back. We
Speaker 1: got your room or report. We got to discuss Lizzo.
Speaker 1: She's in the rumors. Uh, some of her dances are
Speaker 1: saying that she fat shamed them. But we'll talk about it.
Speaker 5: We have to acknowledge that is a hilarious headline and
Speaker 5: we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the
Speaker 5: breakfast slogan Morning.
Speaker 1: The breakfast club.
Speaker 4: That's that yours down and we got to show to do.
Speaker 1: Get my headphones?
Speaker 4: Oh you didn't have them?
Speaker 1: Okay, wanting everybody's DJ n V Charlamagne to god. We
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club. We got our guest co host,
Speaker 1: Willy d with us, and let's get to the rumors.
Speaker 1: Let's talk Lizzo names or you gossip when chatting.
Speaker 3: Is the rumor report?
Speaker 18: I mean, I guess we're on the breakfast club. This
Speaker 18: is where the tea.
Speaker 1: Spells right right now. Yesterday, three of Lizzo's former backup
Speaker 1: dancers accuse the singer of sexual harassment and creating a
Speaker 1: hostile work environment. Now that three defendants are about.
Speaker 5: The way shaming, you missed out that dot, don't leave
Speaker 5: out the way I'm gonna get to That's that's the
Speaker 5: funniest part of the head I'm gonna get to it.
Speaker 5: We have to admit that's a hilarious headline before we discuss.
Speaker 5: We have to admit seeing that Lizzo possibly wait, shame
Speaker 5: somebody is hilarious. Like those are the type of headlines
Speaker 5: that comedy shows are built around.
Speaker 1: Well, let's discuss. So three of the defendants Lizzo, Lizzo's
Speaker 1: production company, and Shirlen, which is the dance captain. Now,
Speaker 1: in three of the lawsuits, they say that three of
Speaker 1: Lizzo's backup dances alleged that at a club in Amsterdam,
Speaker 1: she pressured them to take turns touching a nude performance breast,
Speaker 1: even after the dancer said no, invited dances to catch
Speaker 1: dildo's launched from the performers vaginas and eat bananas protruding
Speaker 1: from the performers vagina.
Speaker 5: Now, if that story is true, do you really think
Speaker 5: it would be something as healthy as a banana in
Speaker 5: a script club like no wings, no fries, Like you
Speaker 5: really think it's gonna be something that's a good source
Speaker 5: of potassium?
Speaker 1: As one of the security staff members to strip on stage,
Speaker 1: the dances also alleged that Lizzo subjected them to an
Speaker 1: excruciating twelve hour audition rehearsal after accusing them of drinking
Speaker 1: before performances. Lizzo allegedly planned to fire and send them home,
Speaker 1: and if their performance wasn't good enough. Allegedly, dancers didn't
Speaker 1: use the bathroom out of fear of losing their job.
Speaker 1: One dancer, Kristal Williams, argued to Lizo that they weren't
Speaker 1: drinking on the job, and response Lizo allegedly mocked her
Speaker 1: and then fired her. Five days later, another dancer, Arianna Davis,
Speaker 1: recorded a rehearsal due to health concerns from an eye condition,
Speaker 1: and response, Lizzo allegedly called out her weight game but
Speaker 1: rated her and fired her. Davis was then forced to
Speaker 1: stay in a room while a security staff member searched
Speaker 1: the phone to make sure the footage was deleted. She
Speaker 1: is now suing a Lizo's production company. As for false imprisonment, well,
Speaker 1: what is the false imprisonment? I don't understand that part,
Speaker 1: and they said it made her stay in the hotel
Speaker 1: room where they deleted the oh oh oh okay now.
Speaker 1: The dancers also alleged that they experienced racists and fat
Speaker 1: phobic discrimination at the hands of the company's tour members.
Speaker 1: When asking for downtown compensation at a rate of fifty
Speaker 1: percent of a weekly pay, they were told that they
Speaker 1: were disrespectful for being an only offered twenty five percent
Speaker 1: by the accountant, and as they stay, only the dance
Speaker 1: cast comprise the full figured women of color or even
Speaker 1: spoken on to this manner. Additionally, Lizzo's former performers claimed
Speaker 1: that their dance captain, necess Shirlene, was sexually inappropriate. According
Speaker 1: to the plaintiffs, Shirlene described sexual fantasies, simulated oral sex,
Speaker 1: commented on the sex lives of other dances. Allegedly the dancers.
Speaker 1: Lawyer ron Zebrano said in a statement, this stunning nature
Speaker 1: of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performance
Speaker 1: scene to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly while
Speaker 1: privately she awaits, shames her dances, and demeans them in
Speaker 1: ways that are only illegal but absolutely demoralizing.
Speaker 5: When I first heard that, I thought the story was
Speaker 5: gonna be about her shaming skinny women, but she allegedly
Speaker 5: was shaming the big girls. Yes, the majority of this
Speaker 5: seems to be about her management. Though, right, it feels
Speaker 5: like it from what you disrat.
Speaker 1: A little bit of everything. But you know, it's like
Speaker 1: anything else with any other lawsuit. There's two sides to
Speaker 1: each story and then anybody can claim whatever they want
Speaker 1: when it come to a lawsuit, and then it's up
Speaker 1: to Lizzo to try to you know, have to fight
Speaker 1: it in court.
Speaker 5: And you don't understand that if you've never been to Like,
Speaker 5: I don't know what's true and what's not true, and
Speaker 5: I'm not about to speculate, but I do know people sue,
Speaker 5: and just because people sue doesn't mean it's true.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean it is either. That's right.
Speaker 6: That's why they have a call. And there's a lot
Speaker 6: been said here though. Man, there's a lot, a lot,
Speaker 6: a lot has been said and it's going to be
Speaker 6: interesting to see how it plays out because oftentimes, you know,
Speaker 6: people will accuse you of something and there's you know,
Speaker 6: one or two things they say you did.
Speaker 4: This is a whole plethora of things.
Speaker 1: We are but you got to prove it. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. And with a lawsuit, especially when
Speaker 1: you get an attorney, attorney's job is to try to
Speaker 1: put as many things, especially in the press, as possible
Speaker 1: to make people look bad. In this case, Lizzo hasn't
Speaker 1: said anything, and Lizzo probably her attorney will probably tell
Speaker 1: her say nothing because wait for the court case. But
Speaker 1: like you said, all this stuff has to be proved,
Speaker 1: you know it can can that stuff be proved in
Speaker 1: the court of law. That's that's what we have to
Speaker 1: wait for.
Speaker 5: I'm interested to see how the people who do business
Speaker 5: with Little will react, because you know, they usually like
Speaker 5: to react and pull things, you know, just based off
Speaker 5: you know, allegations. But you know, little Little checks off
Speaker 5: a lot of boxes.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: She's a woman, she's a black woman, a big woman,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And she's always been an
Speaker 5: advocate for for for marginal.
Speaker 1: A lot of people, you know.
Speaker 5: So I'm interested to see how a lot of these
Speaker 5: corporations reactcause I would think that they wouldn't have a
Speaker 5: knee jerk reaction and just start pulling stuff. I would
Speaker 5: think somebody like Lizle would get the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: I don't think absolutely.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: They don't give men the benefit of They definitely don't.
Speaker 1: They definitely don't. If that oh, man.
Speaker 5: Come on, if she was if she was a man black,
Speaker 5: she'd be out of here. Three three, three different women
Speaker 5: saying things like that, Oh, she'd be out of here already.
Speaker 5: They wouldn't give her. They wouldn't give that human no grace.
Speaker 5: That's why I said, I'm interested to see how they react.
Speaker 1: With because Lizzen is somebody that the world loved. They
Speaker 1: still love her, Yeah, well love, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: people they love Libos lize. I want to see how
Speaker 1: this plays out. But like I said, this is a lawsuit,
Speaker 1: and like a lawsuit, you know, it's you know, you
Speaker 1: got to see in the court of law. All right,
Speaker 1: And that is your rumor report. Now when we come back,
Speaker 1: we got front page News tesling figure out will be
Speaker 1: joining us and also next hour Charles D. King will
Speaker 1: be joining us. He is the CEO of Macro Studios,
Speaker 1: that is the company that finances a lot of black films,
Speaker 1: directs a lot of black films, and make sure they
Speaker 1: put a lot of black films to the forefront. Some
Speaker 1: of the films are offences.
Speaker 5: Sorry to bother you, tyrone Judas in The Black Messiah.
Speaker 5: They clone Tyrone Yes a lot of different things, raising
Speaker 5: Dion on the Netflix out of the TV show.
Speaker 1: That's right, so we'll talk to him a little bit.
Speaker 1: So don't move.
Speaker 11: It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning, the Breakfast Club. Your
Speaker 11: mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 1: Are you someone who knows you don't have to sacrifice
Speaker 1: comfort for quality, someone who lives large in life and
Speaker 1: in the bedroom, then live large and now thinner with
Speaker 1: new Magnum raw condoms, the thinnest Magnum condom available where
Speaker 1: condoms are sold. DJ and Charlamagne the gud we are
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news cousins.
Speaker 1: Figure Roa was back with up tears.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, what's up? DJ, Envy the big Homy Willie did Charlemagne.
Speaker 4: The guy he's through the hood whisper.
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the lawyer's Malcolm X's family. What's
Speaker 1: going on in a situation?
Speaker 7: Yea, all know if a lot of people I have
Speaker 7: heard about the family of Malcolm X sue in the government.
Speaker 7: But lawyers for the family of Malcolm X have unveiled
Speaker 7: new witness testimony that they say corroborates their claim that
Speaker 7: US authorities were involved in his assassination.
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.
Speaker 17: Tuesday's press conference introduced Mustapha Hassan. Hassan says he was
Speaker 17: part of Malcolm X's security detail the night of the
Speaker 17: assassination February twenty first, nineteen sixty five, at the Audubon
Speaker 17: Ballroom in Upper Manhattan. Reading from his signed affidavit.
Speaker 12: I saw a man running down the aisle towards the
Speaker 12: exit where I had been posted, with a gun in
Speaker 12: his hand. I would later see the same man outside
Speaker 12: as he was being beaten by Malcolm's followers, while a
Speaker 12: group of policemen who suddenly showed up on the scene
Speaker 12: asking is he with us, while at the same time
Speaker 12: holding back Malcolm's followers.
Speaker 3: From beating him.
Speaker 17: He says, despite what he witnessed, he was never approached
Speaker 17: to give a statement or appear in court. He and
Speaker 17: Crump's legal team believe the shooter was one of several
Speaker 17: informants at the Audobon Ballroom to carry out the assassination.
Speaker 7: Mister Hassan said he is certain no doubt in his
Speaker 7: mind that Hagen was working on behalf of the NYPD
Speaker 7: or another government agency.
Speaker 4: So what does that mean for the family, Like, what
Speaker 4: are they gonna be able to sue.
Speaker 7: Or absolutely that they are actually suing the FBI, CIA,
Speaker 7: and New York Police Department for one hundred million, alleging
Speaker 7: that the law enforcement agency played a part in Malcolm
Speaker 7: X's execution. In nineteen sixty five, the daughter of Malcolm
Speaker 7: X said, for years, our family has fought for the
Speaker 7: truth to come to like concerning his murder. The lawsuit
Speaker 7: also claims that officials withheld evidence in the original prosecution
Speaker 7: of the three man convicted of convicted of killing Malcolm
Speaker 7: X in an effort to conceal their.
Speaker 1: Roles in his death.
Speaker 7: And I'll just leave this with the quote that we
Speaker 7: know Malcolm X said that said the media is most powerful.
Speaker 7: The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They
Speaker 7: have the power to make the innocent guilty and make
Speaker 7: the guilty innocence.
Speaker 1: Ben Crump was handling that case too, Yes, sir.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Ben Crump. Well, Ben Crump, don't be playing.
Speaker 5: I saw Ben Crump do that, and I saw the
Speaker 5: Henrytta their Lacks family. They settled their suit against Biotech,
Speaker 5: like they reached the settlement in that case because of
Speaker 5: the sales that were harvested without her consent.
Speaker 7: These are a lot of the cases that they don't
Speaker 7: talk a lot about, you know, Charlemagne. You know, they
Speaker 7: like to focus on police brutality, but it actually does
Speaker 7: more cases like this than anything at all. And again,
Speaker 7: who has sued the FBI, the CIA, Let me say
Speaker 7: that again for the people in the back, the CIA
Speaker 7: and the New York Police Department on behalf of Malcolm X.
Speaker 7: And yes, his family would be the one, you know,
Speaker 7: receiving those benefits. But it's more than just it's not
Speaker 7: just about money. It's putting on the record that one
Speaker 7: of our leaders were assassinated by the government.
Speaker 1: And just the FYI.
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty one, they overturned the Supreme Court New
Speaker 7: York Supreme Court overturned two of the men's convictions because
Speaker 7: they said that they withheld evidence. So this is what
Speaker 7: makes this case stronger because when you got allowed folks
Speaker 7: out because you know, they were allegedly innocent. Now they're saying, hey,
Speaker 7: you said that they didn't kill Malcolm X, so who did?
Speaker 7: And now they're you know, trying to go after the
Speaker 7: government on the civil side.
Speaker 6: That's the biggest point is it's putting the government on
Speaker 6: blast because everybody knows that the US government played a
Speaker 6: role in Malcolm X's assassination. Everybody knows that. So it's
Speaker 6: cool that they putting them on blast, but we all
Speaker 6: know they're not going to see a penny of that
Speaker 6: money because if they pay that lawsuit out, they're gonna
Speaker 6: have to pay the rest of them out, because this
Speaker 6: government is responsible for killing a lot of our leaders,
Speaker 6: black and white and others.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, onred percent.
Speaker 5: I mean, on my late night talk show, The God's
Speaker 5: on His Truth, I did a whole second episode about
Speaker 5: the FBI, and I was asking why Jagger, who was
Speaker 5: named still on the building when this man was responsible
Speaker 5: for so many of all black leaders, you know, being assassinated.
Speaker 6: He was the ring leader, He was a hard documentary,
Speaker 6: He was a harbor human being. His name should not
Speaker 6: be on any kind of buildings. His name should not
Speaker 6: be on street signs, airports, none of that stuff, because
Speaker 6: he don't deserve that. You know, they absolutely need to
Speaker 6: be held accountable, but they won't be held accountable. It's
Speaker 6: like somebody suing me and I'm I have to write
Speaker 6: the check. You're gonna sue me, You're coming to me
Speaker 6: to sue me, and you're pleading your case to me. Hey, Willie,
Speaker 6: you messed over, man, I want to sue you. Will
Speaker 6: you take on my lawsuit?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Come on here, let me hear what you got to say.
Speaker 6: All right, you suing me for one hundred dollars dollars? Okay, cool?
Speaker 6: All right, yeah man, I've decided that get to get
Speaker 6: out of here. You know, that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 6: Like you going to the government to ask the government
Speaker 6: for relief for your pain.
Speaker 7: Right, you feel that, but it's still it's still important.
Speaker 7: You know that that it like you said, will it
Speaker 7: that it goes on the record. You know, somebody gott
Speaker 7: to sue something, somebody got to put it on the record.
Speaker 7: And so since nineteen sixty five, you know, I don't
Speaker 7: see nobody else has no leaders, no attorneys, no congress people,
Speaker 7: no Senate. You know, like, let's put this on the record,
Speaker 7: whether they pay or not. I mean, as you know,
Speaker 7: lawsuits are not always about getting paid or you know
Speaker 7: the result, but it's really putting it on the record.
Speaker 1: So I do hear you.
Speaker 7: I feel you, but I don't want to loss over
Speaker 7: the fact that somebody had the goal to put the
Speaker 7: FBI on blast. I think that's a critically important.
Speaker 6: I agree, I absolutely agree with you because because it
Speaker 6: takes a lot of courage, as we know, I mean,
Speaker 6: you can easily you know, end up taking a dirt
Speaker 6: nap shaking.
Speaker 4: Up the government, you know. I agree.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that takes a lot of courage. Of salute
Speaker 6: to being krompt and everybody involved.
Speaker 5: Sluthor Ben Benna duncro with Bill work this week is
Speaker 5: not only is that on the record that Henrietta lacks
Speaker 5: chases on the record, and I know that family getting
Speaker 5: a settlement from Biotech gets as on that they're gonna
Speaker 5: get some money they deserve.
Speaker 1: The latter is front page News. Thank you, test. Can
Speaker 1: I give a quick shout out quickly of course?

Speaker 1: worked his way up and now he's funding a lot
Speaker 1: of movies and the majority of him black movies. So

Speaker 1: get into our guests. He goes by the name of
Speaker 1: Charles D.
Speaker 5: King.
Speaker 1: He's the CEO of Macro stud Udios. Now. Macro Studios
Speaker 1: is a studio company that finances black films, directs and
Speaker 1: helps so much of putting black films in the forefront.
Speaker 1: The brothers started from Howard Law started in the mailroom,
Speaker 1: and he's doing big things. Charles D.
Speaker 3: King, Good morning, Thanks for having me. How you feeling, man,
Speaker 3: I'm excited to be here. Now.
Speaker 1: Where are you from? Brother?
Speaker 3: I grew up in the Kada Georgia, Man, the cad George.
Speaker 1: And how did you get into funding movies and to
Speaker 1: doing things like that? Where did that come from? I
Speaker 1: don't think that's something that kid thinks about.
Speaker 4: Why a kid?
Speaker 3: You know, man, it's a long journey, man, tell us.
Speaker 3: You know I got the bug in college. My big
Speaker 3: break was here in New York City. I got an
Speaker 3: internship at summer ninety five working at MTV, and it
Speaker 3: was really from that where I just learned about all
Speaker 3: these different aspects of the industry. And someone said, you
Speaker 3: know what, You'd make a really good lawyer, but you
Speaker 3: make a great agent. I had no idea what agents did,
Speaker 3: but then I looked it up and I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 3: a lot of Hezardy Studios, guys like David Geff and
Speaker 3: Barry Dill are all these media moguls, they started out
Speaker 3: as agents. So that really kind of stuck in my
Speaker 3: head and became like my thought about my initial path.
Speaker 3: And really that's kind of what I did. When I
Speaker 3: graduated from law school, I moved out to LA I
Speaker 3: landed in the William Morris mail room, became an agent
Speaker 3: two and a half years in the mail room and
Speaker 3: starting the mail room as an attorney.
Speaker 1: Bottom you started as a mail room Yes, in the
Speaker 1: mall room. The most attorney started the mail room was
Speaker 1: the fact that you were black.
Speaker 3: You know what, I think the good thing is this
Speaker 3: is the training ground where people whether he had an MBA,
Speaker 3: law degree, film school, everyone starts at the bottom of this.
Speaker 3: And it was one of those things where it's actually
Speaker 3: prestigious to actually get into the mail rooms. So the
Speaker 3: fact that I landed in that mail room six weeks
Speaker 3: after I moved to LA at the William Morris Agency,
Speaker 3: like the oldest entertainment institution in our business, it was
Speaker 3: like a big deal. And then to get promoted in
Speaker 3: two and a half years where you know, it was
Speaker 3: really it was at a time where I was the
Speaker 3: first of many doing our thing in that space.
Speaker 5: Charles is being very humble, man, he's defineding CEO of Macro.
Speaker 5: Macro was a big, big deal other film studio.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, could you.
Speaker 5: Tell people the whole complete picture of what Macro is,
Speaker 5: what y'all do, even some of the things that y'all
Speaker 5: put out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man. We lost the company eight and
Speaker 3: a half years ago, raised capital, brought in great partners,
Speaker 3: and we're we're operating in numerous areas. We've got three kinds.
Speaker 3: We have our content studios, our film studio, our television studio,
Speaker 3: have a representation vertical, and we also have a creative
Speaker 3: agency all within the hub of of of of Macro
Speaker 3: and some of the projects. We've had about fourteen movies
Speaker 3: that we made and had out in the marketplace. We've
Speaker 3: had fifteen OSCAR nominations. So some of our projects have included,
Speaker 3: you know, most recently, they cloned Tyrone, you know with
Speaker 3: the Jamie Fox, John Boyeg Tanna Paris, Great.
Speaker 5: Poff playing the whole Jamie cloning.
Speaker 4: That was fake.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you know that that was just that was
Speaker 3: just happened.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: It was crazy circumstances with everything. But I'm so blessed.
Speaker 3: We're so happy that he's doing Better Man. But no,
Speaker 3: We've had other projects like Judas and The Black Messiah.
Speaker 3: But then also sorry to bother you with another one
Speaker 3: of our projects that we co produced in finance. Mudbown
Speaker 3: was another one that was the first movie that we
Speaker 3: actually financed and produced, Fences, and I could go on,
Speaker 3: but really love We've had television shows, you know, like
Speaker 3: Raising Dion, which is like the number one kids and
Speaker 3: family show on Netflix. So we've been involved with a
Speaker 3: lot of different things across all platforms.
Speaker 4: What makes Macro different than other films.
Speaker 3: Studios, I would say what makes us different is we're
Speaker 3: very much artist advocates, the fact that we also have
Speaker 3: raised capital and we have a team of executives that
Speaker 3: are best in class throughout the industry, and we're very
Speaker 3: focused only on making sure the people of color at
Speaker 3: the center of all of our projects, and we're also
Speaker 3: making sure that the production quality and value of our content,
Speaker 3: regardless of the genre, is at the highest levels of execution.
Speaker 3: Is the level of cinematic excellence regarding everything that we've done.
Speaker 3: So you take that through line of people of color
Speaker 3: not only domestically and globe believe artists excellence, artist advocacy
Speaker 3: being in power both financially and creatively. I think it's
Speaker 3: really one of the reasons why our company has really
Speaker 3: been blazing the trail and used as a model for
Speaker 3: many others who are coming up through the industry.
Speaker 5: What's the difference between Lincoln with Amazon and doing a
Speaker 5: multi year deal like y'all have done, are raising ninety
Speaker 5: million to broaden the media ambitions like what's what's to do?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a combination. So the fact that we raised
Speaker 3: capital was to build out the team, build out an infrastructure.
Speaker 3: We have our own capital to develop project like they
Speaker 3: clone Tyrone, where we can incubate them internally, we can
Speaker 3: put them together and then we go and figure out
Speaker 3: who is the right distribution partner for that project. So
Speaker 3: that's what with Judas and the Black Messiah, that's what
Speaker 3: we did, you know. So with a project like they
Speaker 3: cloned Tyrone, we developed the project, we paid for the script,
Speaker 3: we had it ready, we had cast attack, and then
Speaker 3: we went to marketplace and then everyone was bidding on it,
Speaker 3: and this one landed at Netflix, and Netflix was, you know,
Speaker 3: wildly excited about it, and they really like rolled out
Speaker 3: as you can see from the film. They didn't cut
Speaker 3: any corners, and they provided all the tools and resource
Speaker 3: behind this young filmmaker. And so we realized that in
Speaker 3: this case that was going to be the best partner
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask, when it comes to picking
Speaker 1: a project or green lighting a project, what is is it? Story?
Speaker 1: Is it working with a director? Because sometimes you might
Speaker 1: not see the vision that a direct di seies because
Speaker 1: he might be a different art for him. So how
Speaker 1: do you decide what you're going to go with?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 3: First off, we have a culture at the company where
Speaker 3: everyone's got a voice, everyone from the youngest executive to
Speaker 3: the CEO. And I'd say first and foremost, passion envision
Speaker 3: mean everything. So we want to make sure that every
Speaker 3: project this on our slate. There's someone at the company
Speaker 3: where they feel like this project has to get made,
Speaker 3: like if this movie doesn't get made, like I've got
Speaker 3: to see this come into existence. Every one of these
Speaker 3: projects is almost like a miracle in and of themselves,
Speaker 3: and it takes a lot of hard work in the
Speaker 3: village to get behind them. So they got to have
Speaker 3: passion the filmmaker and the artist at the center of it.
Speaker 3: They have to have vision after uniqueness of perspective and
Speaker 3: point of view and the way that they're that they're
Speaker 3: telling the story and why they want to tell it.
Speaker 3: And so that's one of the key things we look for.
Speaker 3: We also look for people that are looking to do
Speaker 3: something differently, that are having a different perspective, not just
Speaker 3: making the same kind of run of the mill content
Speaker 3: with I think we've seen a lot of things that
Speaker 3: are just kind of turned around. You've seen it before,
Speaker 3: so that we want to make sure there's a freshness
Speaker 3: to us. So we have we have like six things
Speaker 3: we have on our macro rubric. We make sure that
Speaker 3: there's at least four out of those six things. But
Speaker 3: out of the heart, at the heart of it, it's passion.
Speaker 1: I was looking at y'all like black sci fi.
Speaker 5: Man, Like I want to see more black people in
Speaker 5: sci fi.
Speaker 3: I love that, hey man. You know, like I said, man,
Speaker 3: we know where where we come from, We know where
Speaker 3: the who the Egyptians, you know, and and and we
Speaker 3: also know where we're going to be in the future.
Speaker 3: And we also know how how involved we've been with
Speaker 3: technology and so many inventions through history, and so it's
Speaker 3: important for us to make sure that we're making projects
Speaker 3: like that are sci fi. We also have projects or
Speaker 3: action oriented, you know, just like the more dramatically period piece,
Speaker 3: you know, critically acclaimed projects we've been involved too, and
Speaker 3: as well, it's important for us to make sure that
Speaker 3: we're making projects across all genres.
Speaker 1: What movie got away from you that you said, you know,
Speaker 1: whether you passed on and like, damn, I shouldn't pass
Speaker 1: it or you just couldn't grab.
Speaker 3: Oh man, there is one.
Speaker 4: There's something.
Speaker 3: There's one, man, there was a big one. One of
Speaker 3: our projects was Roman Jay Israel with with with Sony,
Speaker 3: with with Denzel watching, and we did that. We were
Speaker 3: executive producers and co financiers that after we had amazing
Speaker 3: success with Denzel on Fences and you know Roman Jay Israel.
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't do as well as we'd all
Speaker 3: hope for it, Sony, but we also had a great
Speaker 3: relationship with with the studio and we were trying to
Speaker 3: find other things to do. They brought us Spider Verse
Speaker 3: and said, hey, man, the Spider Verse is dope. You know,
Speaker 3: our friends we said we would love you know, we
Speaker 3: loved it. We didn't have enough capital and so we
Speaker 3: couldn't come on as co financiers. And that's why I'm
Speaker 3: like that this still to this day, especially when the
Speaker 3: Nutt latest Spider Verse came out and it was so amazing.
Speaker 3: I remember being at the premiere our sons. It was
Speaker 3: sixteen and fourteen. You know that would have been amazing.
Speaker 3: But I'm like, obviously, man, it's it's an incredible film.
Speaker 3: So that's one that got away from us. You know,
Speaker 3: hopefully they won't be out.
Speaker 1: All right when we come back. We got more with
Speaker 1: Charles D. Kings. You don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good Morning, It's dj n V Charlamage the God we
Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club. It's still kicking it with Charles D. King.
Speaker 1: He's the CEO of Macro studios. He's a brother that backs,
Speaker 1: directs and finances a lot of black movies out there.
Speaker 5: Charlman, what's more important the I don't want to say
Speaker 5: what's more important, but ownership or capital.
Speaker 4: You can have ownership, but if.
Speaker 5: You don't, like in your case, if you didn't, if
Speaker 5: you don't have the capital to invest in something like
Speaker 5: a spider verse.
Speaker 3: I think capital helps lead you to ownership. There are
Speaker 3: some people that are so uniquely positioned they can also
Speaker 3: leverage who they are and their skills to get ownership
Speaker 3: at times if they've got you know, depending upon the situation,
Speaker 3: they don't even when they don't have capital, you know,
Speaker 3: because they've got sweat equity and maybe they take less
Speaker 3: money up front, but then they say, but hey, y'all
Speaker 3: want to own it, and uh. And I've seen those
Speaker 3: types of deals and been involved in deals like that
Speaker 3: during my time as an agent, and we've seen that
Speaker 3: even since. So I think ownership absolutely matters the most.
Speaker 3: Having capital and access to capital helps you leverage into ownership.
Speaker 1: Do you only want to do black productions?
Speaker 3: You know, we're so many of our projects at the
Speaker 3: center of them and in our core to have been
Speaker 3: black production. But we also we lost the company. We
Speaker 3: said it was important to make sure that we were
Speaker 3: going to be making content for POC community globally and domestically.
Speaker 3: So we have been making productions that that have been
Speaker 3: involved a LATINQ community, the Aapi community. There are projects
Speaker 3: we're looking at for the indigenous community. And so like
Speaker 3: I'll take like Hint to five was our second television
Speaker 3: So there's a kind of multi generational family, you know,
Speaker 3: half hour comedy that we did as a digital series,
Speaker 3: originally partnered with America. Ferreira did it as a as
Speaker 3: a digital series and then it turned into a half
Speaker 3: hour show that did two seasons on Netflix and we're
Speaker 3: really proud of that. Or a movie like Tiger Tail
Speaker 3: that we made for Netflix that Alan Yang director and
Speaker 3: made his directorial debut. It was a beautiful story about
Speaker 3: his family kind of based on his family moving from
Speaker 3: Taiwan to the United States. There's another there's a film
Speaker 3: called Blue Bayou that we made. And also you know
Speaker 3: Justin Chong that really talked about immigration Reformed that he
Speaker 3: co stars in with a Leasha Vikandor so we're absolutely
Speaker 3: you know, the culture is going to be always going
Speaker 3: to be at the core, but we're making sure that
Speaker 3: people of color whose stories haven't been told across board
Speaker 3: are also being told, and we partner with great producers
Speaker 3: and creators to make sure we can do that as well.
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you too, what does Macro do
Speaker 5: right now during a writers strike and a actor strike?
Speaker 19: Like?
Speaker 5: Is what is Macro doing unscripted content? Documentary?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 3: What do yeah we have? I'd say, first off, what
Speaker 3: I think about is when people are going through periods
Speaker 3: of chaos and there's a lot of change in upheaval,
Speaker 3: I'd look for the opportunity within that. And so when
Speaker 3: I look for the opportunity, I'm looking to provide opportunities
Speaker 3: now for our company, but unlocking and creating value for
Speaker 3: others as well. And so I'm spending a lot of
Speaker 3: time thinking about new models, new business lines as well
Speaker 3: as obviously you know, building bridges with the international community
Speaker 3: and filling our international productions. There's IP across every platform
Speaker 3: imaginable that we're thinking about, from video games to manga,
Speaker 3: comic books, graphic novels. But of course we're getting active
Speaker 3: in the spif space and the documentary space. Most recently,
Speaker 3: we were very fortunate to be one of the executive
Speaker 3: producers on Dear Mama, which the brilliant director Alan Hughes.
Speaker 3: You know, he's there, he's visionary, he's the man, and
Speaker 3: obviously they just said, you know, he was blessed with
Speaker 3: two Emmy nominations for that. We have a few other
Speaker 3: documentaries that are in production that I can't speak to
Speaker 3: Yetcause we haven't announced them. But we're very active there.
Speaker 3: We're investing quite heavily in the space. And we're also,
Speaker 3: like I said, looking at the areas that we're currently
Speaker 3: operating in how we're going to go further into them.
Speaker 3: But then what are other complimentary, complementary lines of business
Speaker 3: for us as we as we scale the company. So
Speaker 3: if anything, I'm actually busier than ever.
Speaker 5: It's got to be tough for you, though, right because
Speaker 5: you're a you know, like I said, the finding CEO
Speaker 5: of actual film studio, so you're kind of on the
Speaker 5: suit side. But then you also are for the creators
Speaker 5: as well that the actors and the writers. So who
Speaker 5: do you think is being unfair in this situation?
Speaker 3: Well, we're not in the AMPTP, which is you know,
Speaker 3: those are the streamers, the streaming platforms and the major studios.
Speaker 3: We're an independent studio, so we're not part of that organization.
Speaker 3: And like I said when you asked me earlier, what's
Speaker 3: different from Macro and other studios, we actually share an
Speaker 3: upside with the artists that we're working with. We want
Speaker 3: to make sure that we're providing value not just for
Speaker 3: ourselves but also the artists that we work with, and
Speaker 3: so so that there's where it's a win win opportunity.
Speaker 3: So of course I'm leaning on the side of being
Speaker 3: an artist advocate and wanting to make sure that the
Speaker 3: artists in our community can support themselves and live. And
Speaker 3: so I understand the financial pressures and the change of
Speaker 3: what's happening in the business models as there was a
Speaker 3: tremendous amount of investment made to build up subscriber growth
Speaker 3: on all the streaming platforms, and you know, there's a
Speaker 3: market correction that took place last year and there was
Speaker 3: you know, shareholder value that was lost. So that, yes,
Speaker 3: the large corporations are under tremendous pressure. But at the
Speaker 3: same time, when you've got showrunners of prominent television shows
Speaker 3: and actors that are extremely recognizable who have to drive
Speaker 3: uber in between projects, clearly there's got to be a
Speaker 3: balance here and and something needs something needs to change.
Speaker 3: And so I think that what we're going to see
Speaker 3: through all of this is there's obviously it's a very
Speaker 3: tough time in the industry, but change was needed and
Speaker 3: you have to go through periods of like the one
Speaker 3: we're going through right now to get on the other
Speaker 3: side of it. While you know, we're all feeling pain
Speaker 3: from it, but I do think it's going to make
Speaker 3: the industry better in the long term.
Speaker 5: I think it's too many screamers, and I think too
Speaker 5: many of these screamers are not being transparent about what
Speaker 5: they're actually doing, like numbers wise, yeah, and I think
Speaker 5: they care more about Wall Street and what those stock
Speaker 5: evaluations look like than actual profit. Well, I could tell
Speaker 5: you there's definitely a lot with around data and analytics.
Speaker 5: We've been fortunate enough with our projects with you know,
Speaker 5: Netflix in particular, they'll share share information just still verbally
Speaker 5: share you know, ten days in twenty eight days in
Speaker 5: how well how well the content is performing where it's
Speaker 5: you know, being streamed, and the numbers of hours that
Speaker 5: are that are being spent. And it's really eye opening
Speaker 5: when when we've gotten that information because these notions of
Speaker 5: certain content, you know, certain content with us doesn't travel,
Speaker 5: doesn't perform, it's not true. You know, Raising Diana was
Speaker 5: the number one Kids and Family show globally about an
Speaker 5: eight year old kid with super black kid with superpower
Speaker 5: being raised by his mom, black black woman.
Speaker 3: And so what I hope for is that there'll be
Speaker 3: more transparency going forward with sharing of data and analytics
Speaker 3: and and perhaps there's going to be some tie for
Speaker 3: independent studios who provide content for platforms and the artists
Speaker 3: that are making content that's performing well on these platforms,
Speaker 3: where there's going to be some upside for people when
Speaker 3: it when these projects do perform. Right now, what's happening
Speaker 3: is everyone's paid on the front end and uh, you
Speaker 3: know you're really bought out on the back end. And
Speaker 3: back in the day used to have syndication or you know,
Speaker 3: with box office, you had you know, the theatrical box
Speaker 3: office results to go by, and so there needs to
Speaker 3: be something that's going to shift to be able to
Speaker 3: you know, for when projects are actually hit someone they're successful.
Speaker 1: How does that work for somebody like y'all because y'all
Speaker 1: do clporals, right.
Speaker 3: So you yeah, we do copros.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so when you come in and you've already funded
Speaker 5: half of the project, do they give y'all we get.
Speaker 3: We get the statements, you get the statement. It will
Speaker 3: share alongside, but it also sits behind any of the
Speaker 3: marketing expenses and the distribution expenses as well.
Speaker 4: So you never really know.
Speaker 3: There's a certain amount of transparency. I mean, there's always
Speaker 3: people can audit, and we haven't had to do that yet.
Speaker 3: But look, each product, each project for us is different.
Speaker 3: There's some projects that were the studio to deliver the
Speaker 3: project for a platform. Some of them we make independent
Speaker 3: and it is licensed by a platform. Some were co
Speaker 3: financing with traditional studio. So it really depends on what
Speaker 3: the business model is. But the long term is it's
Speaker 3: really at the end, at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: we figure out what is the best scenario for each project,
Speaker 3: What is the best scenario for us to maintain and
Speaker 3: build long term library and asset value, but also what
Speaker 3: is the best way for this project creatively as well.
Speaker 3: We weigh all of those when we make our decisions
Speaker 3: about you know, how we're going to go about our project.
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we got more with
Speaker 1: Charles D. Kings, you don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good Morning, and everybody is DJ n V. Charlamagne the
Speaker 1: gud We are the breakfast Club. He's still kicking it
Speaker 1: with Charles D.
Speaker 3: King.
Speaker 1: He's the CEO of Macro Studios. He's a brother that backs,
Speaker 1: directs and finances a lot of black movies out there.
Speaker 5: Charleman, what is a Charles King dream project for Macro?
Speaker 5: What's that one you want?
Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost, I'm one dream project is Dayclon
Speaker 3: Tyroll being out the marketing place right now, Because be
Speaker 3: honest with you, man, we're so excited with how the
Speaker 3: culture has leaned in on this film. You know, the
Speaker 3: freshness of the story got a first time filmmaker.
Speaker 5: Watched it three times. I don't want to talk to
Speaker 5: anybody who hasn't watched it at least twice. If you
Speaker 5: haven't watched it at least twice, I don't have a conversation.
Speaker 3: Man. It's hard to pick up everything. And I've seen it.
Speaker 3: I've read every draft of the script. I was there
Speaker 3: every day through production, and I've seen every cut of
Speaker 3: the film, and I still pick up gems each time
Speaker 3: I watch it. And Joelle Taylor is a brilliant filmmaker,
Speaker 3: and I'm just really passionate and excited to see how
Speaker 3: the marketplaces responded and the people really really saw the
Speaker 3: fresh voice, but then the smart, subversive things were saying.
Speaker 3: So that's one one passion project and another thing I
Speaker 3: would say, I love movies to show us as kings
Speaker 3: and queens. I love for us to see a film
Speaker 3: where you see us as warriors, like The Woman King
Speaker 3: classic right like that was that was bad when you
Speaker 3: see more movies like that. So I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 3: what's gonna be our Gladiator, What's gonna be our Brave Heart?
Speaker 3: And so absolutely, one thousand percent one of my patches
Speaker 3: of projects will be making a movie of that scope
Speaker 3: and magnitude on that level. And yeah, we have a
Speaker 3: few development but definitely something along those lines.
Speaker 5: What did the Clones represent? What was the metaphor for
Speaker 5: the Clones?
Speaker 3: I'd say it's got a lot for you to think
Speaker 3: about about what's happened in our communities. And we know
Speaker 3: what's historically happened to you know, Dwells from Tuskegee, Alabama.
Speaker 3: You know, so you know about the Tuskegee experiments, and
Speaker 3: there's so much that happened in history, and there's so
Speaker 3: much that continues to happen about what gets pumped into
Speaker 3: our what gets pumped into our community. You look, you
Speaker 3: walk in any community. You know what you see when
Speaker 3: you work in certain communities. And I think that there
Speaker 3: are a lot of real life metaphors and examples that
Speaker 3: are in our film Baklon Tyrone to get people to
Speaker 3: think and ponder. Watch it two or three times, have
Speaker 3: real dialogue for us, and and then you also see
Speaker 3: what happens when the community clicks up, Yeah, come together.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: For me, it represented the never ending cycle of generational
Speaker 5: trauma that can't exist and how every generation there is
Speaker 5: the characters in that film, right like the people or
Speaker 5: the people that the drug dealer, the the you know,
Speaker 5: the the I don't want to say the whole, but yeah,
Speaker 5: you know. But also to your point, when we come together,
Speaker 5: we can break those generational absolutely trauma.
Speaker 3: For what you're saying about that generational trauma, man, it's
Speaker 3: real man, and and the and the the trauma. But
Speaker 3: then how even through the trauma, the strength that we
Speaker 3: still have and the and the heart that we still
Speaker 3: have as people. So I think about that time we
Speaker 3: were in production. One of the most powerful days on
Speaker 3: set was I can't I can't give it. I can't
Speaker 3: give it away here on the show for those who
Speaker 3: haven't seen it. But it's the one scene where you know,
Speaker 3: you got a man who is knocking on the door
Speaker 3: talking to him mom, and he was this he really
Speaker 3: needed word, and that that happened in that scene later
Speaker 3: on that the emotion on set that day of just
Speaker 3: like you know this, this, this, this, this brother who's
Speaker 3: supposed to be the stereotypical drug dealer who just needed
Speaker 3: his mom, really needed his mama, And it just says
Speaker 3: something about our communities and how our mothers are there
Speaker 3: for us. But then what happens when you know, when
Speaker 3: people aren't there for them. But then the when he
Speaker 3: steps outside and that conversation that happened with june Bug,
Speaker 3: the lightness around it and how reminded him of his brother.
Speaker 3: So they were like warm elements like that for us
Speaker 3: that we needed to make sure we're in there.
Speaker 4: There's another part.
Speaker 5: I don't want to get the movie away either, but
Speaker 5: it's like when when when it shows how the black
Speaker 5: woman wasn't wasn't wasn't under control. Yeah, So she couldn't
Speaker 5: be brainwashed. Oh yeah, that was like, that was yeah,
Speaker 5: that was powerful.
Speaker 4: To I got.
Speaker 3: I got a whole how she switched it up on them,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I got a whole thesis.
Speaker 4: I can write about this.
Speaker 3: So that's the strength of her, of her and her character.
Speaker 4: And then when she was right, that's right, y'all don't
Speaker 4: want to do it, I'll go do it myself.
Speaker 3: That's right. Yes, Okay, y'all, y'all, man up the steps.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 5: And then even in that moment when Keith of Sullivant
Speaker 5: Southern Sutherland character was like, I don't even care about you,
Speaker 5: like you know what I mean, Like basically that's that's
Speaker 5: what we basically told her. Yes, but your regular yes.
Speaker 5: But she was somebody to them. That was I don't
Speaker 5: want to say. I was about to say worthy of rescue,
Speaker 5: but I don't want to get the movie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see the movie this week. And guy, I was,
Speaker 1: I was out of town, I was, I was back
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 3: I'm watching for a fun ride.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait to see I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see it. So fifteen OSCAR nominations, three wins, Congratulations is
Speaker 1: there any project that you thought should have gotta win, we.
Speaker 3: Got, we got, you know, we got Song and Daniel
Speaker 3: Want for that one, I felt like we were definitely
Speaker 3: write picture. We were right there in contention. There were
Speaker 3: a lot of great movies that year, but I feel
Speaker 3: like we were close. There was definitely a sense from
Speaker 3: members of the Academy that we were very much in
Speaker 3: the mix on that one, and we're incredibly proud of
Speaker 3: that film. Honestly, I'll say we're more proud of the
Speaker 3: fact that Chairman Fred Hampton, you know, Junior and Mother
Speaker 3: CooA and so many other members of the Black Panther
Speaker 3: Party that they that they still loved the film and
Speaker 3: were in supportive of it and how it's really you know,
Speaker 3: been able to educate our community about, you know, this
Speaker 3: revolutionary so Oscar nominations were great, but that was the
Speaker 3: thing that was the most rewarding of that. In terms
Speaker 3: of someone that I felt like got robbed Man. There's
Speaker 3: a few, but I got to tell you, but I
Speaker 3: felt like, uh, Jamie fox Man and just Mercy Man.
Speaker 3: It was really he did his thing, just like he did.
Speaker 4: See all these movies. Micro Movie.
Speaker 3: We we were one of the executive producers. We co
Speaker 3: financed the film there weren't we weren't creatively involved in
Speaker 3: that project. That was the other great producers, but that
Speaker 3: one we were more financiers. And Jamie Fox did his
Speaker 3: thing and it was incredible.
Speaker 5: I mean, when is Jamie Fox not up for some
Speaker 5: type of you know what I mean, like every tyrone like.
Speaker 3: Not knock on wood man. I feel like his performance
Speaker 3: is absolutely worthy of of real conversation.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: He is an extraordinary actor and it was just so
Speaker 3: incredible to work with, so much fun, but he brought it. Man,
Speaker 3: he is truly like a gifted man.
Speaker 5: I always wonder why, like like Macro doesn't collaborate with
Speaker 5: like Tyler Perry and everything that he's doing.
Speaker 4: It just seemed like it would make so much sense.
Speaker 3: Well man, Well, Tyler is you know. It was one
Speaker 3: of the artists moguls that I was fortunate, blessed to
Speaker 3: work with. That was his main agent for over ten years.
Speaker 3: Oh wow. Yeah, back at at William Morris and W
Speaker 3: and me and and he had a vision for how
Speaker 3: he was going to take his these amazing characters in
Speaker 3: this world that he built out from the theater circuit
Speaker 3: and bringing in the film and TV, and as a
Speaker 3: as a young agent, I was right there as part
Speaker 3: of the forefront of it, alongside of his lawyers, of
Speaker 3: structuring those deals in Lions, Skate and the ten nineties shows.
Speaker 3: And then clearly saw when someone who has a vision
Speaker 3: and a team behind them, you know, to also support
Speaker 3: his vision. And in addition to the hard work, literally
Speaker 3: tenacious hard work, the fact that he bet on himself,
Speaker 3: that he invested in himself, and you look at the
Speaker 3: empire that he's built. So I have tremendous respect for him.
Speaker 3: And so obviously even when I went to leave w
Speaker 3: me and I said, hey, I'm going to go do
Speaker 3: my thing, he was just like, you're gonna wish you
Speaker 3: had done this five years earlier because it's going to
Speaker 3: be incredible. And I had to say that although we
Speaker 3: haven't worked on a project together or found that thing,
Speaker 3: there's there's absolutely nothing but respect and love, and sure
Speaker 3: at some point we'll find something, but you know, clearly
Speaker 3: there's a there's there's nothing but respect.
Speaker 1: There you have it.
Speaker 4: Charles D.
Speaker 6: King.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you so much, brother, Charles King. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, Good morning everybody. It's dj n
Speaker 1: V Charlamagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. We
Speaker 1: got our guest co host Willy d with us. Let's
Speaker 1: get to the roomors, let's talk Little Meech whole out
Speaker 1: of name or you've gossip?
Speaker 3: Bet is the rumor report?
Speaker 18: I mean, I guess were on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: This is where the tea.
Speaker 4: Spells right right.
Speaker 1: Now? Meach was Little Meach was trending yesterday for a
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. Well one, it seems like his relationship
Speaker 1: with someone Walker they're saying is over. She posted something
Speaker 1: on social media. It's just crazy. How iggle will really
Speaker 1: try to pursue the f out of you for two years,
Speaker 1: make you meet the whole family, want to be around
Speaker 1: you and your kids all day, pay bills just to
Speaker 1: embarrass you to the world, laughing my ass off. I
Speaker 1: don't understand men, but I'm gonna give it to God. Well,
Speaker 1: yesterday a ring camera footage surface of Little Meach entering
Speaker 1: and exiting a home with another woman. Uh and uh.
Speaker 1: He actually spoke about it after the footage came out.
Speaker 4: Damn, I can't hit my cousin. Bring a bag in
Speaker 4: the house.
Speaker 3: We went to the grocery store.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: Problem was that with not too many people see grocery bags.
Speaker 1: So people started making memes and they started adding grocery bags.
Speaker 1: They started adding shopping cards and all those other things.
Speaker 5: I saw groceries, groceries. I saw groceries. Didn't you nail
Speaker 5: When they said, well, did not? KO said, I hate
Speaker 5: the booty like groceries. You see the groceries apartment.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is is I'm married, but I ain't blind.
Speaker 1: How could you have a neighbor that releases the ring
Speaker 1: footage of your apartment?
Speaker 4: Is that legal?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: First of all, I want to welcome little Meach to Houston.
Speaker 4: Oh he was in Houston.
Speaker 1: He was in Houston.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, you know man, that's a major invasion of products.
Speaker 6: Hell yeah, and it should be illegal. If it's not illegal,
Speaker 6: it should be illegal. It should be a crime. And
Speaker 6: I'll tell you straight up, bro, if my neighbor tried
Speaker 6: to play me like that, the moment I see him, it's.
Speaker 1: On site, put hands and feet on him.
Speaker 4: Or if it's a woman, the moment I see her
Speaker 4: is on side. Could you stop, Willy d knock it off.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it's on sight.
Speaker 6: I ain't saying what's on site. It's on site. Man,
Speaker 6: it's a violation. Do that. That's not right.
Speaker 1: The man was helping a woman, that's right.
Speaker 6: And you know, if a crime was committed, I understanding
Speaker 6: releasing something like that, but just be spying on your
Speaker 6: neighbors like that and then just putting it out there.
Speaker 6: First of all, whoever did that, I'm just going straight
Speaker 6: up say that was some host stuff.
Speaker 5: Groofie, because if it wasn't a little meat, they wouldn't
Speaker 5: even care. If it wasn't somebody, it wasn't a celebrity,
Speaker 5: they wouldn't even care. The correct it's the fact that
Speaker 5: they called a celebrity on their ring camera and they
Speaker 5: wanted to send that out to the blogs or whoever
Speaker 5: else I'll post it.
Speaker 4: On their own.
Speaker 5: So that's gotta be some type of invasion the prophecy.
Speaker 4: I don't know what happened, man, I just know black
Speaker 4: men don't cheat.
Speaker 5: And you know, if the man said he was helping
Speaker 5: somebody with they groceries, why couldn't that man be helping
Speaker 5: somebody with their grocery.
Speaker 1: Stupid. Now we got to move on to Carlos King.
Speaker 1: Carlos King was interviewed with Nini leeks and we're we're
Speaker 1: talking about her, you know, on Real Housewives of Atlanta
Speaker 1: and how she felt. Nini said that she could have
Speaker 1: been bigger than Kim Kardashian. You think you should be
Speaker 1: bigger than Kim Kardashian, absolutely.
Speaker 20: If not bigger right there with her. I feel like
Speaker 20: they pushed Kim and they didn't push me. Kim came
Speaker 20: on after me, and they opened up every door and
Speaker 20: every opportunity for her, even putting us together at times
Speaker 20: and making her, you know, much more bigger than me.
Speaker 20: They pushed Kim to the front and push me to
Speaker 20: the back. And I don't think that was by a chance.
Speaker 20: I think that was the way they wanted it to be.
Speaker 20: I just think that they made her more successful and
Speaker 20: she was able to get opportunities and open walk through doors,
Speaker 20: and they just did not want me to walk through.
Speaker 5: How do we feel about conversations like that? Because I
Speaker 5: just be feeling like what's for a Person's for a person.
Speaker 5: I understand that there's machines that can push things, but
Speaker 5: you can push some things sometimes, and that don't mean
Speaker 5: the consumer is going to gravitate towards said things. Something
Speaker 5: about the Kardashians that people gravitate towards and they've been
Speaker 5: gravitating towards it for years.
Speaker 4: Mean, he had a great, great, running, great moment too.
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, with with Kim, I just
Speaker 1: think it was the perfect storm the way that everything
Speaker 1: folded out. You know, parasit was her best friend at
Speaker 1: the time, and parasit was in front of the lights,
Speaker 1: and Kim was her side, you know, her whatever, her
Speaker 1: best friend at the time. Then the ray J tape
Speaker 1: came out, and at that time, ray J was was
Speaker 1: growing in his fame, and it was perfect. Then she
Speaker 1: was married Chris Humphries and he was playing for an
Speaker 1: NBA team.
Speaker 4: You didn't giving Chris Humphrey no damn credit.
Speaker 1: You're right, strike that one from the record. What's the
Speaker 1: other ball's name?
Speaker 4: U Reggie Bush?
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush at the time. He was one of the
Speaker 1: biggest players in the league at that time. Like, I
Speaker 1: just think it was a perfect storm for Camp.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's scriffling numbers. Maybe if it was a bunch
Speaker 5: of leaks. Seriously, maybe maybe if it was a bunch
Speaker 5: like she had a whole team with us, she had
Speaker 5: her sisters, you know what I mean. She had her
Speaker 5: mom like they had a whole squad. Maybe it's scriffling numbers, but.
Speaker 1: I do think they did Niini dirty. As far as
Speaker 1: the reality show, I think they should have pushed them
Speaker 1: on now. She also talks about one of our homies,
Speaker 1: Claudia Jordan, and talks about that term which Nini made
Speaker 1: a real famous a pair talking to starless Claudia Jordan.
Speaker 5: Starless who won between you and Claudia and Puerto Rico.
Speaker 20: I'm always the winner, and so I obviously won. But
Speaker 20: I will give Claudia this, although she said the most
Speaker 20: nastiest things about me, and she's been holding on to
Speaker 20: a grus for one hundred thousand years, I would have
Speaker 20: to give I'm gonna give her this. I've read many
Speaker 20: of girls, honey, and I've been on this show with
Speaker 20: many girls. I would have to say that she was
Speaker 20: probably my number one battle. She was definitely right up
Speaker 20: there to battle with. Yeah. I don't think that it's
Speaker 20: not been one other girl that could probably battle the
Speaker 20: way she did because I took her through it, and
Speaker 20: I feel like she took me through it, and so
Speaker 20: I feel like we gave each other a run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they did, and I will say one
Speaker 1: thing about our homie, Claudia Jordan's. She don't back down
Speaker 1: to nobody, So salute to Needy Leeks and Claudia Jordan.
Speaker 4: We ain't got noneing to smoke. You ain't play nonhing
Speaker 4: to smoke that they're talking about.
Speaker 1: No, we ain't got time unless you want to be
Speaker 1: late for a donkey.
Speaker 4: I don't even I never even heard the smoke.
Speaker 1: I don't know that is your rumor report, But were
Speaker 1: giving that donky two man for after the hour man?
Speaker 5: What is going on in the world. We got white
Speaker 5: people screaming racism against other white people.
Speaker 4: This is crazy. This morning, we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 1: Is that possible? I don't know, but we're gonna discuss.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get to a Nexus to Breakfast club.
Speaker 11: Good morning, breakfas your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 5: Audible pick of the day is Snoop Doggs from the
Speaker 5: Streets to the Sweets. Here's snoops Journey from the Streets
Speaker 5: to Long Beach, the hip hop legend. Listen when you
Speaker 5: sign up for a free trial at audible dot com,
Speaker 5: slash Snoop I.
Speaker 1: Was donkey up today, Damn he hogged.
Speaker 15: It's time for donkey.
Speaker 3: I ain't trying to beat donkey today no more.
Speaker 5: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
Speaker 5: not making these people do these days.
Speaker 18: Called donkey of the day, and it really caught me
Speaker 18: off guard.
Speaker 7: Damned Charlamagne who got the donkey out of the day today?
Speaker 5: Yeah, donkey today for Wednesday, August second goes to Michael Sack.
Speaker 5: Michael Sack is a white police officer in Saint Louis
Speaker 5: who has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the city
Speaker 5: and two black city officials, claiming he was excluded from
Speaker 5: a promotion to become police chief. Now, this is something
Speaker 5: you don't hear too often, a white man screaming racism
Speaker 5: because he didn't get a position he wanted. We've seen
Speaker 5: this a billion times from black people and others, okay,
Speaker 5: and usually they are correct. Systemic racism is something that
Speaker 5: exists in every industry in America.
Speaker 4: We notice.
Speaker 5: That's why we have laws to prevent this kind of
Speaker 5: discrimination from happening.
Speaker 4: What is it the Equal.
Speaker 5: Employment Opportunity Commission Law. Under the laws enforced body ee OC,
Speaker 5: it is illegal to discriminate against someone applicant our employee
Speaker 5: because of that person's race, color, religion, sex, including gender identity,
Speaker 5: sexual orientation, pregnancy, national origin, age, forty year older, disability
Speaker 5: are genetic information. I'm saying all that to say there
Speaker 5: are rules in place to keep people from being discriminated
Speaker 5: against and to keep that discrimination from impacting their employment.
Speaker 5: Not saying it always works, but the laws are there,
Speaker 5: and when you feel there is discrimination, you can sue.
Speaker 5: That's what's happening here with Michael Sack. He's suing, like
Speaker 5: I said, for racial discrimination because he said he was
Speaker 5: excluded from a promotion of police chief. But here's the problem,
Speaker 5: ladies and gettlemen. The physician ended up going to another
Speaker 5: white man. Yeah, you heard me correctly. Let's go to
Speaker 5: NBC five on your side for the report.
Speaker 4: Police.
Speaker 19: The city of Saint Louis faces a lawsuit over its
Speaker 19: selection of a new police chief, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Sack,
Speaker 19: alleges he was not promoted because he's white. Sack, who
Speaker 19: served as interim chief, was considered a front runner in
Speaker 19: the initial search, but Mayor Tshara Jones started a second
Speaker 19: nationwide search seeking more diversity in candidates. The city ended
Speaker 19: up hiring Chief Robert Tracy, a white man. Sack's lawsuit
Speaker 19: claims the mayor made that choice only after two black
Speaker 19: finalists dropped out and to cover up for not giving
Speaker 19: the job to him. The mayor's office says it cannot
Speaker 19: comment on pending litigation.
Speaker 4: What is going on in America?
Speaker 5: You have a white cop suing the city and two
Speaker 5: black officials claiming he didn't get a job because of racism.
Speaker 5: You had another white cop got the job. You got
Speaker 5: Lizzo being sued for weight shaming. What's next is Laverne
Speaker 5: Cox's about to be accused of transphobia.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Michael Sacks says in the lawsuit his race was a
Speaker 5: determining factor, motivating factor, are played a part in the
Speaker 5: city's decision not to promote him.
Speaker 1: I'm so confused here, I'm not and there's no white
Speaker 1: people in the room.
Speaker 4: Oh well, I guess Nick, Nick? Is you're white?
Speaker 17: Right?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 1: Yes, spicy white. There's levels to whiteness, all right? Is there?
Speaker 5: I'm not talking about levels in regards the class. I'm
Speaker 5: talking about strictly race. Is there levels to the white race?
Speaker 5: Is there white and off white? Or is that just verge?
Speaker 5: Was clothing line because I don't understand this is Michael
Speaker 5: Sack transracial?
Speaker 4: Does he identify as something other than white? I don't understand.
Speaker 5: How was he seeking financial compensation for loss in wages
Speaker 5: and benefits for racial discrimination when another white man got
Speaker 5: the job.
Speaker 1: Now, Michael is saying that him and another white were
Speaker 1: the only two people who met the roles.
Speaker 5: In qualifications and who had passed the written test, but
Speaker 5: the mayor, to Shara Jones, told them that she would
Speaker 5: not pick either one of them because she only had
Speaker 5: two white male candidates to choose from. In Saint Louis
Speaker 5: is more diverse than white males. That's what Michaels saying
Speaker 5: in the lawsuit. The lawsuit also says that the city
Speaker 5: wanted a black commissioner but had to settle for Robert Tracy,
Speaker 5: the other white candidate, because there was no other black
Speaker 5: candidate to select from because one of the finalists who
Speaker 5: was black, withdrew his application and another declined the city's
Speaker 5: off of Hey, if that's true, that's life, but it
Speaker 5: still doesn't negate the fact that a white man got
Speaker 5: the job. I'm not the highest grade of weed in
Speaker 5: the dispensary. But if you're telling me that you didn't
Speaker 5: get a job because you're white, but another white person
Speaker 5: did indeed get the job. Then I'm going to ask
Speaker 5: you to drink this ginger ale and these crackers because
Speaker 5: you must have a fever and a stomach ache.
Speaker 4: All right, there's no way you could possibly be feeling.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing, white people stop. You don't have to
Speaker 5: colonize everything, Okay. It's always the unpigmented population trying to
Speaker 5: take everything the marginalized has and make it their own.
Speaker 5: They trying to take hip hop. They tried taking Tiger Woods,
Speaker 5: but they gave him back, and trust me, he didn't
Speaker 5: want to leave. And now they trying to take racial
Speaker 5: discrimination from us.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 5: The unmelanated gall of Michael Sack, a white man losing
Speaker 5: his job to another white man isn't racism.
Speaker 4: It's called America.
Speaker 5: Okay, racism, you know it is if the boss didn't
Speaker 5: hire him because he don't want no chalky colored c
Speaker 5: working in this building. But that wasn't the case. He
Speaker 5: didn't lose the job because he was white. He lost
Speaker 5: the job because they found a better weight. See if
Speaker 5: America was just about the best person winning.
Speaker 1: Then it would be all good.
Speaker 5: Okay, if it was about all things created equal and
Speaker 5: the most qualified person succeeding in things like race and
Speaker 5: gender and sexuality didn't the helpful Hinda.
Speaker 1: It would be fine.
Speaker 5: But that fairness only exists when you're dealing with men
Speaker 5: who look like the founding fathers of this country. So sorry, Michael,
Speaker 5: if you just weren't the white person, no, I mean right,
Speaker 5: per wait mayb y'all do mean white? Okay, sorry Michael,
Speaker 5: you just weren't the right white man for the job.
Speaker 1: Please let Chelsea handle give Michael sack the biggest hee
Speaker 1: haw hee haw hee haw. That is way too much,
Speaker 1: Dan Maynes, Michael relax, all right, all right, well, thank
Speaker 1: you for that donkey today something When we come back

Speaker 6: neighbor to hit the ring, hand to risk to release
Speaker 6: the ring. That's right, that's right, she'd be helping me

Speaker 5: She called her nighbor to hit the ring camera just
Speaker 5: so she can have a little come up.
Speaker 1: WHOA wow? Do I believe that is the question. Trying

Speaker 1: You guys have been saying men are not helping people,
Speaker 1: not open the doors, not carrying the groceries. So this
Speaker 1: brother helped him carry the groceries and y'all got him
Speaker 1: under the bus. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 5: There wasn't no elevator in that building. Heard it was
Speaker 5: six flights instead, as that man had to climb up.
Speaker 5: God blessed little Meat. Don't drink five five one on five. Well,
Speaker 5: let's discuss. This's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Owing. Everybody is todj NV Charlamagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Willie d
Speaker 1: joining us. Now if you're just joining us with talking
Speaker 1: Little Meach, all right, play the up the club court
Speaker 1: them please. Now Little Meach was charged with we'll say,
Speaker 1: cheating allegedly.
Speaker 4: Now, men don't cheat little meach.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 1: This video of him helping a young lady who looked
Speaker 1: like she was distressed. It looked like she just went
Speaker 1: grocery shopping. And allegedly her building didn't have an elevator.
Speaker 1: So Meach was just helping her.
Speaker 5: Something that I heard that she didn't have no elevator.
Speaker 5: There was seven flights in stairs. Little Meat, being a
Speaker 5: good Samaritan, Little Meat decided to help this young lady
Speaker 5: with her groceries. Her neighbor caught them on the ring camera.
Speaker 5: Correct Now, Willie d brought up a fantastic point, But.
Speaker 4: Would you say your homegirl said, will he be?
Speaker 6: What if the girl, I mean, the girl employed the
Speaker 6: neighbor to record herself and then you know she had
Speaker 6: an opportunity to.
Speaker 4: Release it to the public.
Speaker 5: I think that's clearly what happened up. I think that's
Speaker 5: clearly what happened. She saw little Meat took advantage of
Speaker 5: Little Meach's kindness, him being a great samaritan. Little Meach
Speaker 5: helped her with the grocery. She told her neighbor to
Speaker 5: hit the ring camera scented out the allive blogs. Little
Speaker 5: Meach is.
Speaker 1: Innocent, but that not only that. Let's think about him.
Speaker 1: Little Meat was there for seventeen minutes, many seventeen seventeen minutes.
Speaker 1: Now he went in without Now, on his way out,
Speaker 1: we see the girl again. On the way out. She
Speaker 1: ain't looked to shovel at all. She wasn't the shovel,
Speaker 1: she wasn't wearing a T shirt. She was wearing the
Speaker 1: same her hand with good that's right, that's right.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, you know, just devil's advocate. It's possible, very
Speaker 6: possible for them to walk into that room, walk into
Speaker 6: that house, and he get behind us.
Speaker 4: Black men, don't you back, that didn't happen. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying I didn't.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, not necessarily. I mean, like I mean, well,
Speaker 6: I am the clean up man, so not necessarily. I mean,
Speaker 6: it just depends on who it is, right, Bro, this
Speaker 6: depends on who she's doing it with.
Speaker 4: Right. You know, I'm not saying that he did something.
Speaker 6: Black men are saying that these type of things, that
Speaker 6: that is a scenario where something like this could happen.
Speaker 5: Now, Taylor, Taylor, our producer, she was in the other room,
Speaker 5: but you can hear us, right, and all I heard
Speaker 5: over the microphone was I hate y'all. And I don't understand.
Speaker 5: I don't understand where that came from. So Tailor's here,
Speaker 5: because you know, you got three grown men in here
Speaker 5: talking about a situation that clearly needs a woman's perspective.
Speaker 4: Tailor, why did you say you hate us?
Speaker 1: Because clearly I didn't even think about it what you said,
Speaker 1: Like he was helping with some groceries. That's on groceries too.
Speaker 4: Good America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Taylor, if you look at the young lady's hands,
Speaker 1: it looked like they were putting things in the refrigerator
Speaker 1: like you know when you if you saw it, if
Speaker 1: you saw I'm helping with groceries, I don't see no
Speaker 1: bags of groceries. That's what I'm saying. Grocery.

Speaker 15: meets is ridiculous.
Speaker 14: How you going to come across what.
Speaker 4: Did he do?

Speaker 1: Heroes?
Speaker 21: First of all, everybody keep talking about what groceries that

Speaker 15: See any seem that the groceries.
Speaker 14: The only thing I saw was that bad of track
Speaker 14: that he should have took.
Speaker 2: Out he did coming in the house.
Speaker 1: The video I saw him.
Speaker 14: Doing was following that ass inside the house.
Speaker 5: The video cut off right before he took the trash out.
Speaker 5: And see what happened was he had already went up
Speaker 5: seventeen flights. Instead he took the trash out and then
Speaker 5: when he was walking back out, the girl was like,
Speaker 5: he you should come get some gatoray before you make
Speaker 5: that track down to seventeen flights and stairs again. And
Speaker 5: that's why he went back in the house.
Speaker 21: The only bad that I saw he had was in
Speaker 21: his looking bad probably feel we gain, Maybe some candybart
Speaker 21: kind of he had in his hand or something he
Speaker 21: had in his out. That's the only thing, you know, sir.
Speaker 21: The only groceries that was going in the house was
Speaker 21: that ass he was following.
Speaker 4: Sarah as a kid in that detectives or something else.
Speaker 1: Y'all. Never you never seen Saray your dad help help
Speaker 1: a lady with bad at the grocery store before?
Speaker 22: My father, No, No, the.
Speaker 15: Only person that uh that he would help anything would
Speaker 15: be my mother. My mother would have been all over
Speaker 15: to that, all right.
Speaker 1: How we know that wasn't an old lady? That could
Speaker 1: have been an old lady. We can't. We couldn't really tell.
Speaker 5: How we know that wasn't just a young looking old lady.
Speaker 5: She might have been sixty seven years old for all
Speaker 5: we know, and age right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, she looked like she had.
Speaker 21: On a full sheene outfit.
Speaker 15: I don't know what seventy year old fifty.
Speaker 21: Year old where she in a fashion over.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, stopping man eight hundred and five eighty five,
Speaker 1: one oh five. And we took a little meat this morning. Now,
Speaker 1: there was a video of little meat going viral yesterday
Speaker 1: and people are saying he cheated, he cheated, he cheated.
Speaker 1: But the brother said, I was just helping out with
Speaker 1: the groceries. And from the video it looks like he
Speaker 1: was helping with the grocery. I mean Charlamage said allegedly
Speaker 1: there was no elevator, so they had to walk up
Speaker 1: six seven flights.
Speaker 5: I heard it was seventeen, actually seventeen. I said six
Speaker 5: and seven, but I heard it was actually sixteen or seventy.
Speaker 1: So the fact that the brother helped put all of
Speaker 1: groceries away, little gatorade into the left.
Speaker 6: And I want to explain something real quick because I
Speaker 6: know people are saying, what damn apartment complex? As seventeen
Speaker 6: floors were not with no elevator, So I just want
Speaker 6: to say that perhaps the elevator was broken broken, ye
Speaker 6: was broken, and and and and that is such a
Speaker 6: thing as innocent until proven guilty. So uh uh, we
Speaker 6: reserve the right to give little Meech the benefit of doubt. Brother,
Speaker 6: More power to you, more power, stay strong, strong, brother,
Speaker 6: black man, don't cheat.
Speaker 1: The eight hundred five eight five one five one will
Speaker 1: take some more calls when we come back as the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody's the j n V.
Speaker 1: Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if
Speaker 1: you're just joining us, we're talking about little Meech. There
Speaker 1: was a video that went viral yesterday of him at
Speaker 1: somebody's house and he responded with this, So we're asking
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one o five one little missy.
Speaker 1: Little seems like he was being a good Smaritan. I
Speaker 1: mean people are saying all the time that you know,
Speaker 1: they don't see kids and people helping old women and
Speaker 1: people at grocery stores anymore. It is a little meat
Speaker 1: from the south man.
Speaker 5: Little understand the sovereign hospitality. Little meat understands being a
Speaker 5: good Samaritan. Black Men don't cheat, b MS. Black men
Speaker 5: faithful like little Meach, who wasn't doing nothing, but what
Speaker 5: he was supposed to be doing is helping that young lady.
Speaker 5: Always lady, because I think she was older, but she
Speaker 5: just look young. I think he was sixty seven. Actually
Speaker 5: he was just helping her with the groceries.
Speaker 1: Hello, who's the problem, hey, Beyonca, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 4: Tell me why he lying?
Speaker 14: Okay?
Speaker 4: So he was, Yeah, he was carrying groceries.
Speaker 9: And what.
Speaker 5: I couldn't really because the ring camera was high and
Speaker 5: his hands was down, so I couldn't really see what
Speaker 5: he had in his hand.
Speaker 14: Nothing, no bad, you know, And I love I want
Speaker 14: to take him, but knock it off. He got caught,
Speaker 14: and I know he's coming up from the.
Speaker 4: Way.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 5: They're all worried about the wrong thing, which I should
Speaker 5: be worrying about the invasion of privacy that happened with
Speaker 5: that woman who recorded that ring camera that.
Speaker 1: They that's the actual crime. He can't commit, no crime.
Speaker 6: And what if it was an old lady would they
Speaker 6: be still having this type? Now I'm talking about old
Speaker 6: lady like like like ninety.
Speaker 4: I think she's about sixty seven.
Speaker 1: Gosha, Yeah, you see that video, Little Me's s trying
Speaker 1: to be a great Samariyan helping that lady with her groceries.
Speaker 15: I didn't see that.
Speaker 1: Why is that nonsense?
Speaker 4: So you don't think people should help women with their groceries?
Speaker 21: Man, come on, now, you go out.
Speaker 14: Now you're reaching because he was not helping nobody with
Speaker 14: no grocery.
Speaker 4: Where was the bag? You know, I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 4: something I did.
Speaker 5: We couldn't see the bag because he had his hands
Speaker 5: down and the camera the camera was cut off so
Speaker 5: you can only see him from the waist up.
Speaker 2: So I couldn't making I couldn't.
Speaker 4: See what he had in his hands.
Speaker 5: And I can tell you how I know he had
Speaker 5: something in his hands because he had a blunt in
Speaker 5: his mouth and he never reached for that blunt. Couldn't
Speaker 5: reach for that blunt because you had bags in his hand.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 14: Yeah, he had a little box in his r like
Speaker 14: he was tearing a box from He was going up
Speaker 14: for seventeen minutes. So only to think he wouldn't going
Speaker 14: to do anything written but help him with some groceries.
Speaker 14: I didn't see no groceries, Beaver. That's just super real.
Speaker 14: That black man was cheating.
Speaker 1: No, he was not, because black men don't cheat.
Speaker 4: What is up with y'all?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hello, who's this Hey Keisha, good morning.
Speaker 1: We're talking about the video Little Meets being a great
Speaker 1: Samaritan helping this young woman with her groceries. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that there's been times when you needed help for groceries
Speaker 1: and didn't have help, and he could have been there
Speaker 1: to help you as well.
Speaker 14: Oh no, I have a husband, but I'm experienced something similar.
Speaker 14: I feel that it was very inappropriate. And if it's
Speaker 14: just a cousin, why can't sell her meet her?
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, you're from the eight four to three.
Speaker 5: I can hear it in your voice with you said
Speaker 5: you experienced something similar.
Speaker 4: What happened?
Speaker 14: Well, my husband friends with the young ladies, I said,
Speaker 14: but I'm not too comfortable with their friendships. But he
Speaker 14: still hasn't allowed the girl.
Speaker 1: He still has what with the girl? I still have
Speaker 1: not met the lady.
Speaker 5: Well, we already know that your husband is innocent because
Speaker 5: he from the Low Country and black men and black
Speaker 5: men definitely don't cheat from the low Country.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's a lot.
Speaker 21: We do not cheat him, sees.
Speaker 14: I just like it's inappropriate, and I think the girl
Speaker 14: she was trying.
Speaker 17: To catch himself.
Speaker 5: I do agree that someone should meet the cousin, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, But you can't meet all your cousins.
Speaker 4: She and Houston. That's a cousin from Youthton.
Speaker 1: Hello, who's this.
Speaker 13: Did your boy?
Speaker 2: Yaggy?
Speaker 1: Yology, yaggy? Good morning man? You see little me. She
Speaker 1: just trying to be a great Samarian. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: that might have happened with you before. You just trying
Speaker 1: to be nice, right, yeah, man, seven.
Speaker 21: Minutes you hadn't you couldn't goa no, if you were doing.
Speaker 14: Anything, you'll be between five and ten menfeen minutes.
Speaker 5: Now hold on now, I say I don't like that
Speaker 5: because see what somebody gonna do with the math. So
Speaker 5: they gonna say between five and ten minutes. That mean
Speaker 5: it took you five and it took you about three
Speaker 5: minut to get undressed, five to ten minutes to handle
Speaker 5: your business, then three minutes to get dressed again.
Speaker 4: That's about seventeen minutes.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 1: I don't like that math. I don't like that math.
Speaker 2: Damn, man, I.
Speaker 4: Can't even believe we're having this conversation. Black men don't cheat.
Speaker 1: You're right, that man, was definitely helping putting the groceries up. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 1: Hey, you seen that video? Little meach man just trying
Speaker 1: to help that woman with her groceries. Man, it's such
Speaker 1: a great Samaria. Don't you agree that's what he was doing?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: He wrong?
Speaker 1: Wrong for what do y'all know what?
Speaker 5: The definition of hospitality is the friendly and generous reception
Speaker 5: and entertainment of guests. Visitors are strangest. Little Meach is
Speaker 5: renowned for his hospitality, and now y'all hurt judging that
Speaker 5: man for it.
Speaker 1: I don't like this guilty. I don't like how they
Speaker 1: doing Little Meach like that. I think I think it's
Speaker 1: a smear campaign against Little Meach. First they were saying
Speaker 1: that he and shower, then they said something else before
Speaker 1: Now they're saying this, the brother just trying to do
Speaker 1: good out here, and y'all just and y'all messing with him.
Speaker 1: And I don't like the cast of.
Speaker 5: Power in the other shows clowning little Meat for this,
Speaker 5: because my brothers, this could be any of us at
Speaker 5: any given moment. You see, this man clearly got set up.
Speaker 5: This man was being a good Samaritan. Walked up seventeen flights.
Speaker 5: He said, you couldn't see the bags in his hand
Speaker 5: because the ring camera was cut off from the wais down. Clearly,
Speaker 5: whoever he was with called somebody and said, hey record
Speaker 5: little meach helping you with my groceries. This man was
Speaker 5: set up. That could be any of y'all at any
Speaker 5: given time. I don't think y'all should be making jokes
Speaker 5: about this. They really trying to stop the black men
Speaker 5: don't cheat movie?
Speaker 1: Close it?
Speaker 6: What you think, WILLI d I think that the man
Speaker 6: is inn to approve guilty and reserve judgment unless we
Speaker 6: see something different. Black men don't cheat, that's right. Black
Speaker 6: men don't cheat.
Speaker 4: They don't even understand that. When you say black men
Speaker 4: don't cheat, black men no men and black men don't cheat.
Speaker 1: Okay, how about you? All right, when we come back,
Speaker 1: we got to talk Lebron James h in his school.
Speaker 1: We'll discuss when we come back as the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5: Bro my.
Speaker 1: Name or you've gotship been chatty? Is the rumor report?
Speaker 18: I mean, I guess we're on the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 18: were the tea spells right right?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're gonna start off with Javonte Davis now, yesterday,
Speaker 1: Javonte Davis was talking. He was talking about if he
Speaker 1: would stop Terrence Crawford, what would happen?
Speaker 4: I gotta I got a question for your Tank at
Speaker 4: one seven? How does a fight with you and Terrence
Speaker 4: Crawford look one.
Speaker 2: That trend?
Speaker 4: You know he want to sleep?
Speaker 22: I already know, I already know who he is, said no, chan, Hey,
Speaker 22: I got round five around six, around six.
Speaker 5: Wait day, Dravante Tank at one forty seven, I mean
Speaker 5: taking Crawford Crawford at one forty seven, I'll take budd
Speaker 5: in that.
Speaker 4: I like Tank a lot, though, Why why?
Speaker 1: Man? Based off what I saw Saturday night? That's why?
Speaker 4: Okay, what you're talking about?
Speaker 5: Why, Like Terrence Crawford unlocked the level that you know
Speaker 5: none of us have seen him. We all know Terrence
Speaker 5: Crawford is a beast. We know that with forty and
Speaker 5: oh how many knockouts like thirty thirty two or something
Speaker 5: like that, Like, we know he's a beast.
Speaker 4: But on Saturday night we saw him unlock another level.
Speaker 5: So he has another level and the level I saw Saturday,
Speaker 5: I don't see nobody beating Terrence Crawford at one forty
Speaker 5: will d what you take I.
Speaker 6: Concur Yeah, yeah, what what But Terrence Crawford did. Man,
Speaker 6: it was I it was magical and it was reminiscent
Speaker 6: of the golden era of boxing. You had the Hearns
Speaker 6: and the Leonards and the hag Lists and the Roberto
Speaker 6: Durans and the whiff Bernita as Is.
Speaker 13: Man.
Speaker 4: That was like, hey man, that was on that type
Speaker 4: of level, right, is that want to see that in
Speaker 4: a while? Is that a fight?
Speaker 13: Will?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, thank Thanking Budd would be great at one
Speaker 5: forty seven. But like I said, after what I saw
Speaker 5: Saturday night, I don't see nobody beating Tarance Crawford at
Speaker 5: one forty seven if he can get to that, if
Speaker 5: he can go to that level in a fight.
Speaker 1: No. Now, let's talk about Lebron James his I Promised School.
Speaker 1: They're saying that eighth grade has failed to pass the
Speaker 1: state math tests. It was reportedly last year that, of
Speaker 1: course the school was in the Akron, Ohio, hadn't passed
Speaker 1: the math portion of their state proficiency exam in three years.
Speaker 4: Yikes.
Speaker 1: Now, Stephanie Davis, the new principal, said this one of
Speaker 1: the things I'm most excited about coming into the I
Speaker 1: prom School is the optimism and energy around getting our
Speaker 1: students to a level of achievement we know they're capable of.
Speaker 16: This.
Speaker 1: Recent board meeting, our preliminary OSC data was shared, but
Speaker 1: it's important to note that proficiency is based on Master
Speaker 1: and grade level standards. Our students have not yet met
Speaker 1: the grade level master remark, but they are demonstrating growth.
Speaker 1: Based on I Ready scores of our income in eighth
Speaker 1: grade is thirty two percent met their annual typical growth
Speaker 1: and reading, while seven percent met their stretch goal for
Speaker 1: the year. Now, I will say this, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's just an I promised school thing. I think it's
Speaker 1: an education thing. You also got to think of the
Speaker 1: last three years, a lot of these kids haven't been
Speaker 1: in school. You know, most of it because of COVID,
Speaker 1: because of the pandemic. A lot of these kids were
Speaker 1: being taught over computers and coming back has made it
Speaker 1: very difficult. If you have kids, you know how difficult
Speaker 1: it's been because you know, we as When I say we,
Speaker 1: I mean parents had to be the teachers and for
Speaker 1: a lot of us it was difficult. It was it
Speaker 1: was It was difficult for me to help my kids
Speaker 1: with their homework. I'm sure it was difficult for you, Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6: First of all, that Lebron James can you know, make
Speaker 6: financial contributions like that to our communities, and you know
Speaker 6: the schools now need to double down on education. As
Speaker 6: we said that, I find it very hard to believe
Speaker 6: not one single kid in the eighth grade past math exam.
Speaker 6: I don't care where you go, that's always going to
Speaker 6: be one kid that just you know is an overachiever.
Speaker 6: That's always going to be that. So I find that
Speaker 6: hard to believe. In experimental schools like I promise, the
Speaker 6: kids are made to actually fail. In many of these
Speaker 6: types of schools, they're actually made to fail so that
Speaker 6: they can get state and federal funding. If the kids
Speaker 6: don't fail, then the money don't trickle down to the
Speaker 6: school districts and they can't create jobs. That's a big
Speaker 6: deal in a lot most people don't want to have
Speaker 6: that discussion, but that's a real thing. I'm not saying
Speaker 6: that's exactly what's happening there, but it happens more than
Speaker 6: you can imagine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not an educator.
Speaker 5: I would have to bring it an educator to have
Speaker 5: this conversation, but it sounds to me like somebody clearly
Speaker 5: wasn't focused on academics.
Speaker 1: Right, And then I'm also wondering how many students are
Speaker 1: actually in the school, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: we can say all the eighth graders, but how many
Speaker 1: eighth grader students were there? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because this is a small school. It's not a huge
Speaker 1: school what you would think of. And I think i'm
Speaker 1: reading now one report says, you know, in the eighth grade,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see, but I think in the full
Speaker 1: school it's five hundred students and that's from three to seven,
Speaker 1: I think, or three to nine. I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to how many students are actually in that.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: But either way, if all your eighth grade students fail
Speaker 5: in math, somebody's not focused on academics. So to me,
Speaker 5: that that lies squarely of defeated the educators happen.
Speaker 4: And this is over three years, three years, this is
Speaker 4: over three years.
Speaker 6: But I but let's make sure that we also include
Speaker 6: the parents, because everything starts at home, and no matter
Speaker 6: what the school is doing, the parents have the most
Speaker 6: access and authority over the children, and if the parents
Speaker 6: are not on board, it is extremely difficult. Having said that,
Speaker 6: it is any time you can have an adult that
Speaker 6: can step in and help out kids and kids, and
Speaker 6: that's a place that kids can go to, like I
Speaker 6: promise and have there's a safe space that they can
Speaker 6: go to and and have these experiences and be able
Speaker 6: to learn where you're in a place where people really
Speaker 6: care about you. That's important because as we know, like
Speaker 6: one adult could change the trajectory of a child's life.
Speaker 6: That happened for me with my homeroom teacher, Miss Oliver,
Speaker 6: Miss emmittt Oliver. I mean, she literally saved my life.
Speaker 6: And this could happen when you get good educators, and
Speaker 6: I do believe that there are some good educators there.
Speaker 6: But you're going up against a system.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that is your rumor report. I got

Speaker 4: Brother, absolutely, man, I appreciate the invitation. Now, thank you. Fine,
Speaker 4: it's been fine.
Speaker 5: You're going back to Houston to night, Willie. What you
Speaker 5: got going on this week? Go to Houston tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, let me ask you really, So, since you
Speaker 1: said that you wouldn't give women flowers on the first day,
Speaker 1: have women been hitting you upset about it?
Speaker 6: No, they want to understand, called and they're asking for clarity.
Speaker 4: Clarity.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's where it starts. Yeah, yeah, you know, hey man,
Speaker 6: you know, and I want to be clear. You know,
Speaker 6: I absolutely love women. I mean, and I really do respect.
Speaker 6: But I do believe that that there is such thing
Speaker 6: as being too nice too soon. And that's why I
Speaker 6: have my reservations in trepidation about what dude did with
Speaker 6: those flowers.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: That's like, bro, you don't you don't do all of
Speaker 6: that on the first day. Now, some women you're cool,
Speaker 6: you know they're gonna be cool with that, But then
Speaker 6: there's going to be a certain segment of women that
Speaker 6: are not. And I'm not willing to take that type
Speaker 6: of chance. When when I first meet a woman, the
Speaker 6: last thing you want to do is spooker one. Just
Speaker 6: like you can spook a woman with your conversation when
Speaker 6: you first meet it, you can spook it with your.
Speaker 4: Acts of giveness of giving you. So, yeah, okay, I'm
Speaker 4: not with that.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, when we come back, we got a
Speaker 1: positive notice to Breakfast Cloak of Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Charlemagne to God, we are to Breakfast Club. Charlemage,
Speaker 1: you got some positivity for the people I do.
Speaker 5: Man, and I wish some of you all foods would
Speaker 5: understand what I'm about to say it, but you don't
Speaker 5: and won't. But I'm gonna tell you anyway because maybe
Speaker 5: one day you will learn. But understand that nothing that's
Speaker 5: for you will require you to act out of character
Speaker 5: to get it. Absolutely nothing. If you got to act
Speaker 5: out of character to get something, it ain't worth it.
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, you
Speaker 4: Don't finish or y'all done,
