Speaker 5: what's going on now?
Speaker 8: Yesterday was election day, so a lot of kids didn't
Speaker 8: have school yesterday or they had half day. My kids
Speaker 8: had half day yesterday. So about eleven thirty twelve o'clock,
Speaker 8: I had to go pick them up. So I took
Speaker 8: the bowling. Took the kids bowling yesterday. They had a
Speaker 8: great time. I put the little bumpers there, so it
Speaker 8: made my score even higher too, So I did exceptionally well.
Speaker 8: I scored like a two twenty bowling yesterday.
Speaker 1: So I was pretty happy I did.
Speaker 5: So, you cheated the kids, I beat the kids.
Speaker 1: Cheated.
Speaker 8: No, put the bumpers for everybody. Everybody used to bumpers
Speaker 8: of fair, a fair game. It was a fair It
Speaker 8: was fair bowling. Everybody had the bumpers.
Speaker 1: Body heard you, You just said you.
Speaker 8: Everybody had the bumpers. Yes, so we all had great scores.
Speaker 8: But they had a good time. So some ofud had
Speaker 8: an amazing time yesterday. All right, Well today Doug Melville
Speaker 8: will be joining I guy, Doug Melville.
Speaker 5: If you don't know, I have a book in print
Speaker 5: with Simon and Shooter call The Black Privileged Publishing.
Speaker 1: And this is the latest book off the book in print.
Speaker 5: It is called Invisible Generals, Rediscovering Family Legacy and a
Speaker 5: quest the honor of America's first Black general.
Speaker 1: You know, Veterans Day is right around the corner eleven eleven.
Speaker 5: Veterans Day is eleven eleven. You already know how I
Speaker 5: feel about the veterans, man. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 5: veterans get. Veterans just aren't appreciated in this country the
Speaker 5: way that they should be. Like, there is nothing that
Speaker 5: pisses me off more than seeing absolutely, you know, veterans
Speaker 5: on the side of the street asking for money, tanking for.
Speaker 1: Money, fart for this country.
Speaker 5: I feel like that the bare minimum you should get
Speaker 5: a free health insurance rooming board and it's stipen to
Speaker 5: take care of whatever your needs every month. That's what
Speaker 5: I feel like the veterans should get, especially if you
Speaker 5: went to war and fought for this country. So Invisible Generals, Man,
Speaker 5: it tells the amazing true story of America's first black generals,
Speaker 5: Benjamin Old David Senior and Junior, a father and son
Speaker 5: who helped integrate the American military and created the Tuskegee Airmen,
Speaker 5: and my man Doug Melville will be here this morning
Speaker 5: to talk all about this amazing new book, in Visible Generals,
Speaker 5: that's out right now, by the.
Speaker 8: Way, that's right, so definitely go pick it up or
Speaker 8: downloaded if you're into the audible thing. Also, I would say,
Speaker 8: you know one thing about a veterans with which a
Speaker 8: lot of people I guess forget times too. After they
Speaker 8: do serve and they come back home, it's really hard
Speaker 8: for them to find jobs. It's not as easy. You
Speaker 8: would think that you served in this country, it'd be
Speaker 8: easier for you to find a job, but it was
Speaker 8: very difficult. That's why my dad became a police officer
Speaker 8: because when he came back from the Vietnam War, he
Speaker 8: couldn't find a job. There was nothing available. There was
Speaker 8: nobody trying to hire him. So and that's why we
Speaker 8: should be taking care of him in this country. With
Speaker 8: the war and fought for this country.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: That's rights the least we can do.
Speaker 8: All right, Well, let's get the show cracking when we
Speaker 8: come back. We got front page news a lot to
Speaker 8: discuss it. Like I said, yesterday was election day, so
Speaker 8: we'll give you some of those results that don't move.
Speaker 8: It's to breakfast club. Good morning, Oh the Scissor Happy
Speaker 8: born day. Today is Scissors birthday. So it's Pool Shisty's birthday,
Speaker 8: Tech nine's birthday, and our very own Sims Simmer. Today
Speaker 8: is sim Simmer's birthday too. It's the breakfastlo good morning morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody's thej Envy, Charlemagne the Goud we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tis.
Speaker 9: Little Morning, DJV, Good morning, and Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 8: Let's jump right into it. Let's talk about this these
Speaker 8: elects Day results.
Speaker 9: Well, before we.
Speaker 10: Talk about that, I want to give some results on
Speaker 10: another winner, and they go by the name of the
Speaker 10: Breakfast Club for earning the number one spot in New
Speaker 10: York in September and October. So congratulations guys on that.
Speaker 10: Can you drop a clothes wound for yourself?
Speaker 5: Thanks ts, So congratulations.
Speaker 10: And in Kentucky, Republican Daniel Cameron, who was endorsed by
Speaker 10: Donald Trump, and you guys may remember him. He is
Speaker 10: the one that did not prosecute the murderers of Brianna Taylor.
Speaker 10: Tamika Mallory came on the show about a month ago
Speaker 10: and talked about that he was running for governor and
Speaker 10: he was defeated last night by Democrat Andy Basher, so
Speaker 10: he lost their race. A lot of folks are celebrating
Speaker 10: that they did not want Daniel Cameron in office.
Speaker 9: So Kentucky came out.
Speaker 10: Ohio overwhelmingly decided to have abortion rights legalized, and they
Speaker 10: legalized marijuana. So abortion was definitely an issue on the
Speaker 10: ballot and they decided to say they do not you
Speaker 10: want to be restricted from that. In Mississippi, Republican Tate
Speaker 10: Reeves beat Democrat Brandy Brandon Presley. It did beat him
Speaker 10: by about fifty thousand votes. And mayor race is a
Speaker 10: quick recap on that. Philadelphia, Cheryl Parker, she became the
Speaker 10: first female and the first black female mayor. And then
Speaker 10: in Houston, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who was trying to
Speaker 10: also become the first black female mayor in Houston, went
Speaker 10: into a runoff, so she did not win that, but
Speaker 10: it had gone to a runoff. In Virginia, another race
Speaker 10: of people were looking at Democrats now control the General Assembly.
Speaker 10: Folks may remember Virginia going back and forth. You know,
Speaker 10: they lose it, they get it back. But this was
Speaker 10: really important because Republican Governor Glenn Yonkin, he had went
Speaker 10: around telling people, you know, really on the campaign trail,
Speaker 10: asking Republicans to give him control of the Assembly. He
Speaker 10: was really looked as an upcoming star in the Republican Party.
Speaker 10: And so Democrats only needed twenty one to win the
Speaker 10: House and they got twenty one. They needed fifty one
Speaker 10: to win the Senate and they got fifty one. So
Speaker 10: they you know, literally like barely got it, but still
Speaker 10: a win is a win, and so folks are looking
Speaker 10: at that race is also you know what you can
Speaker 10: look at to expect as you move forward into that.
Speaker 5: Twenty four A couple more races, two tas salute everybody
Speaker 5: in North Charleston, South Carolina man former North Charlston Police
Speaker 5: Chief Reggie Burgess, he's won the North Charleston male race.
Speaker 5: He's the first black person elected to lead the city
Speaker 5: of North Charlston.
Speaker 1: To salute to him.
Speaker 5: And in Charleston, South Carolina med John Tecklenberg and William
Speaker 5: Coxwell are going to a runoff on November twenty first,
Speaker 5: and Charleston that seat. So I don't know why y'alln't
Speaker 5: want to keep me attacking that seat, but you need to,
Speaker 5: all right, well that the may Attech is front page.
Speaker 10: Just quick a reminder that tonight is the Republican debate.
Speaker 10: So folks who want to watch that, uh, there would
Speaker 10: be Chris Christy, Ronda Santis, Nikki Hayley above A Ramasami
Speaker 10: and Tim Scott. They will be debating the night, and
Speaker 10: of course, you know, Donald Trump is skipping this debate,
Speaker 10: but definitely look out for that. I'm interested to see,
Speaker 10: you know, what they have to say, what they have
Speaker 10: to say about the war. That's that has happened, you know,
Speaker 10: since they had the last debate. So we'll make sure
Speaker 10: we bring you that report on tomorrow.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't even know why we keep saying Donald Trump
Speaker 5: is skipping the debate. He ain't got no, he didn't

Speaker 4: As my lights wasn't up and I was now on
Speaker 4: my knees.
Speaker 1: Well, let's unpack this. Let's unpack this.
Speaker 5: Cam is a rapper, so Sukiana probably just wanted his
Speaker 5: opinion on her music. Maybe right, uh maybe? And you
Speaker 5: know we all love Cam's honesty. He admitted to getting
Speaker 5: a salaitos dropping the clues, bombs of camera. Nothing wrong
Speaker 5: with that. I don't even think that deserves the pause.
Speaker 5: Camp deserve doesn't deserve Maybe she was playing his music,
Speaker 5: or maybe she.
Speaker 1: Was, you know, shooting a shop. I doubt it. I
Speaker 1: think she was probably just wanted his opinion on her
Speaker 1: on her music.
Speaker 5: Maybe.
Speaker 8: All right, now let's jump to Jez. Now, Jeez had
Speaker 8: a conversation with me along they got candidate. They talk
Speaker 8: about everything love life, legacy, and also their relationships. Jeez
Speaker 8: talked about his divorce and what got him to that point.
Speaker 16: What happens when a man gets to the point where
Speaker 16: they're just like, Okay, I'm filing for.
Speaker 17: Divorce, integrity intech. I could never say anything that would
Speaker 17: not honor somebody. Absolutely, But I can't tell you that
Speaker 17: this has not been an easy journey. I can tell
Speaker 17: you that I'm sadding. I can tell you that I'm disappointed.
Speaker 17: I can tell you that I'm uneasy. But again, God
Speaker 17: has put me in a different path, and that path
Speaker 17: is going to entail for me to take care of myself,
Speaker 17: you know, And I can only do what.
Speaker 4: I could do, right.
Speaker 18: I can't expect someone else to do what I'm doing.
Speaker 19: But did you go to therapy with her. Yep, Okay,
Speaker 19: that's good.
Speaker 5: So you actually.
Speaker 19: Addressed it, tried to work through it, tried to do
Speaker 19: the work, and it just was like not happening.
Speaker 5: Well, then you tried, Well, that's some good therapy that
Speaker 5: fits you.
Speaker 8: Try and again that's Geez talking to nia Long. And
Speaker 8: then I Nia Long discussed her breakup.
Speaker 16: You know, I had a really public breakup recently. It
Speaker 16: was a wake up call for me in the sense
Speaker 16: of like, Okay, you're going to do this on your
Speaker 16: own and you're gonna be fine because the relationship was
Speaker 16: rocky for a very long time. So because I don't
Speaker 16: believe another person can break anyone up like I just don't.
Speaker 19: I don't buy that.
Speaker 16: Right to your point with your son, I think my
Speaker 16: older son saw me trying to keep the family together.
Speaker 16: But I had to come to a place where loving
Speaker 16: myself was bigger and more important than saving anybody.
Speaker 17: Well, we can't if you got to save your star player,
Speaker 17: if your star players not doing good the.
Speaker 19: Team, Can we not talk players? Can we use a different.
Speaker 14: And the race?
Speaker 5: Can we drop one the clues bombs for the magic,
Speaker 5: the magic that black women, especially black women stars from
Speaker 5: the nineties possessed. It's unmatched, because what reason would JEZI
Speaker 5: have to be sitting in front of the Neo Along
Speaker 5: spilling his guts like this other than he's a fan
Speaker 5: of Love Jones. But it's amazing. I'm saying it's amazing.
Speaker 5: It is incredible. What reason other than you loved her
Speaker 5: and boys in the hood and soul food would you
Speaker 5: have to be sitting in front of the Neo Along
Speaker 5: spilling your guts the way that he did.
Speaker 1: As private as jez is, that's crazy. And as much
Speaker 1: as jez don't.
Speaker 5: Like to talk about nothing, and you give your first
Speaker 5: statements on your divorce, the good system Ni along not
Speaker 5: mad at it, but drop on the clues bombs for
Speaker 5: the magic that black women, especially from the nineties persis.
Speaker 1: It is something about them, isn't it right?
Speaker 8: You got to check out the full interview and he
Speaker 8: also talks about trauma and.
Speaker 1: How he was molested as a child.
Speaker 19: What was the activation moment of trauma for you?
Speaker 17: The first was being left with a babysitter that was
Speaker 17: a woman that was older than me and her, you know,
Speaker 17: touching and doing things to me that don't normally happen
Speaker 17: to kids. Right, basically, so I was introduced to sex
Speaker 17: at a very early young Yeah. The second thing was
Speaker 17: that I had this lady that lived next door to
Speaker 17: us in the apartment, and she was married to this guy.
Speaker 18: They had two kids. He was around my age, and
Speaker 18: I used.
Speaker 17: To hang out with them, and I was there one
Speaker 17: day they got into an argument and I heard them,
Speaker 17: you know, and I heard that saying before yeah, you
Speaker 17: wait till I get back. I'll be right back. And
Speaker 17: I heard from yelling and all all right, was.
Speaker 19: He killed us the white.
Speaker 18: It didn't kill her? He shot out like four times?
Speaker 19: Oh my god.
Speaker 17: Right, And eventually they found me under the sink. When
Speaker 17: the police said everything, it was there, but I just,
Speaker 17: you know, they just stuck with me.
Speaker 5: I love it. Man, Brothers is having conversations that we
Speaker 5: don't normally have. Okay, I've told you all, I've got
Speaker 5: different scenarios, but the fact brothers are discussing these taboo
Speaker 5: things openly, we are healing, y'all healing you hear me?
Speaker 8: Yeah me, Like I said, you guys definitely need to
Speaker 8: check out the g Z and NIA long conversation. I
Speaker 8: do want to play one more part, and this is
Speaker 8: a conversation that a call he received from Phara Khon.
Speaker 17: When I got out of jail, I was at the
Speaker 17: lowest point in my life. I think everything right, and
Speaker 17: I got caught up. I had Minister Faricon calling me
Speaker 17: every other day like, Jez, brother, the enemy is coming.
Speaker 17: I'm just like, what the hell is going on? So
Speaker 17: he called me and said, brother, Jeez, your message is changing.
Speaker 17: The enemy is coming.
Speaker 5: Get you.
Speaker 17: I said, what I'll do is spead mister fair con
Speaker 17: all my enemies in my neighborhood.
Speaker 18: I'm not going back there at no time soon. He said,
Speaker 18: you know the enemy.
Speaker 17: But he was saying was that my message was changing
Speaker 17: and I was starting to educate my people right, and
Speaker 17: now he comes to enemy and he was aligned it.
Speaker 17: It was when I got to that arena to do
Speaker 17: my show up from the thirty thousand people, it was
Speaker 17: my turn to go on stage.
Speaker 18: It was maybe seventy police back there wait to take
Speaker 18: Mick Chill.
Speaker 17: It was a span of my life maybe like three years,
Speaker 17: probably shortly after my first album, Like it was shootout.
Speaker 17: The shootout, like I've been a shootout with my dad
Speaker 17: being right there, and it's like a combo of everything.
Speaker 5: You always got to heat the minister warnings. You got
Speaker 5: to heat the warnings from the minister. But also no,
Speaker 5: you are divinely protected. The weapons may form, but they
Speaker 5: will not prosper. You hear me, all right, you hear me.
Speaker 5: Well that is your rumor report.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, when we come back, we got front
Speaker 1: page news.
Speaker 8: Testling figure out will be joining us, and also Doug
Speaker 8: Melville will be joining us.
Speaker 1: He has a new book called Invisible Generals. That's right, man.
Speaker 5: It tells the amazing truth story of America's first black generals,
Speaker 5: Benjamin Old Davis Senior and Junior, a father and son
Speaker 5: who helped integrate the American military and created the Tuskegee Airmen.
Speaker 5: And it is the latest release off my book in print,
Speaker 5: Black Privilege Publishing via Simon and Schuster. So I can't
Speaker 5: wait to sit and chop it up with Doug. I
Speaker 5: had Doug on the Daily Show with me last week too,
Speaker 5: so it's a pleasure to have him on Breakfast Club
Speaker 5: this morning as well.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll get the front page news next.
Speaker 1: It don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Come morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be
Speaker 3: the same morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody at j MV.
Speaker 8: Charlemagne the God. We are the breakfast club. Let's get
Speaker 8: in some front page news.
Speaker 10: What's up tis on DJ and it's Charlemagne the Gods.
Speaker 8: Now, let's talk about this gentleman that was arrested across
Speaker 8: Union Station. Now, is this the same guy that they
Speaker 8: crashed into the gate and when the cops pulled him
Speaker 8: out they had guns on them.
Speaker 1: Is that the same story?
Speaker 10: I don't know that if we have so many stories
Speaker 10: like that, so I don't know exactly one which one
Speaker 10: you're referring to.
Speaker 9: But this was yesterday.
Speaker 10: It was trending yesterday about a guy who was at
Speaker 10: Union Station and had AAR fifteen.
Speaker 9: He was arrested. Let's take a look.
Speaker 20: We were briefed by US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger,
Speaker 20: who identified the suspect as a mere Levon Morrell from Atlanta, Georgia.
Speaker 20: Chief Major says that Morell was walking through this park
Speaker 20: carrying a weapon that resembled an AR fifteen when someone
Speaker 20: spotted him and then alerted Capitol police.
Speaker 10: That's the one you were talking about, because I want
Speaker 10: to make sure we're talking about the same one. But
Speaker 10: the officers on this one said that he appeared to
Speaker 10: be dealing with some mental health issues. But they can
Speaker 10: confirm that there was just based on their conversations. They
Speaker 10: do not know why he was in the park with
Speaker 10: a gun, and it is an ongoing investigation. So yeah,
Speaker 10: they did arrest him, but I'm not sure that's the
Speaker 10: video you were referring to.
Speaker 8: Now now I heard it, I guess I thought I
Speaker 8: heard another man I guess was around the same area
Speaker 8: had a gun as well, and they said the gun
Speaker 8: was it was I guess a handgun, but it was
Speaker 8: I guess some type of way it was armed with.
Speaker 8: It could just be an automatic handgun. And I guess
Speaker 8: he was arrested yesterday too, But it.
Speaker 9: Might be the same story.
Speaker 10: They're saying this was an AR fifteen, But in report
Speaker 10: that I read, it was pretty clear that there was
Speaker 10: in AR fifteen, So not not sure.
Speaker 9: Hopefully we didn't have key people.
Speaker 10: Going to the capitol yesterday doing that, so I'm pretty
Speaker 10: sure it's the same story.
Speaker 8: Now, let's talk about the third officer charged in McLean's
Speaker 8: death found not guilty.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, we covered this last week when we believe
Speaker 10: it was the last week when one of the officers
Speaker 10: was found not guilty, So a jury found Colorado police
Speaker 10: officer Nathan Wood were not guilty again in the death.
Speaker 9: As a reminder, this is the.
Speaker 10: Case where the three police officers responded to a call
Speaker 10: about a suspicious person that was just walking in Elijah
Speaker 10: was just walking to the store. They restrained him in
Speaker 10: a choke hold, and he passed away. So to recap
Speaker 10: one officer was convicted of negligent homicide and third degree assault,
Speaker 10: but the other two officers were found not guilty. This
Speaker 10: is the second one, and then there are still two
Speaker 10: paramedics who are waiting trial later this month.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't I don't understand how that works.
Speaker 5: Ever, Like, if you're going to charge one police officer,
Speaker 5: you got to charge all of them because you know,
Speaker 5: our day ascessory.
Speaker 1: He's the murder.
Speaker 5: If they just stood around and watched this young man,
Speaker 5: you know, die, and they didn't intervene to stop this
Speaker 5: young man from getting killed shore and they be charged
Speaker 5: with murder too or some type of they should be
Speaker 5: charged with something. Well, they were.
Speaker 9: Charged, but they were found not guilty, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: How Yeah, it's unfortunate, especially again this is just it
Speaker 10: kind of reminds me again to trade by Martin.
Speaker 9: You know, he's just going to.
Speaker 10: The store of minus business and just you know, hey,
Speaker 10: you look suspicious. So really really unfortunate story and prayers
Speaker 10: to his mother.
Speaker 5: Officers like that live with themselves, man, like once you
Speaker 5: once they once they take a step back and they
Speaker 5: start this. I'm sure they see the same videos we
Speaker 5: see of Elijaha Clan and you started to hear what
Speaker 5: kind of kid he was? How do they live with
Speaker 5: themselves knowing they killed this innocent young man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 9: Do they take a step back?
Speaker 10: You know, that's the question that a lot of them
Speaker 10: step right in another position, in another hu, another police department, unfortunately,
Speaker 10: which is why we keep trying to push, you know,
Speaker 10: push that as an issue that it should have a
Speaker 10: database and these officers should not be able to be rehired.
Speaker 10: If nothing else, you need to find another career. So
Speaker 10: hope they do take a step back. But I don't know,
Speaker 10: Charla Man, I don't know if a lot of them do.
Speaker 5: I'm just talking about emotionally and mentally. I ain't talking
Speaker 5: about professionally. But I'm at some point, you take a life,
Speaker 5: you still got to reflect on that life at some
Speaker 5: point when you start to realize who that person was.
Speaker 5: You got to realize like damn, I messed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah hope.
Speaker 9: So but want to end on a positive note. I
Speaker 9: tay you. We have to end on a negative note.
Speaker 10: Jess hilarious, DESSI and Glenn tattoo Man Page they held

Speaker 5: That's right, Invisible Generals tell the amazing true story of
Speaker 5: America's first black generals, Benjamin O'Davis Senior and Junior, a
Speaker 5: father and son who helped integrate the American military and
Speaker 5: create the Tuskegee Airman. Eleven eleven is Veterans Day. That's
Speaker 5: right around the corner. So his book is very timely, man,
Speaker 5: and this conversation will be very timely too, So I
Speaker 5: can't wait to sit and talk to my guy, Doug Melville.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Good morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody is dj n V charlamage to God. We are
Speaker 8: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes,
Speaker 8: indeed we have the brother Doug Melville.
Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: How you doing today, gentlemen? How my wife today?
Speaker 1: Wife to see you?
Speaker 5: It is release week for us Man and Generals is out.
Speaker 5: It is the new release off my book in print
Speaker 5: Black Privilege Publishing with Simon and Schuston. Man happy to
Speaker 5: be able to put this into the world. Tell them
Speaker 5: what Invisible Generals is?
Speaker 2: Yes, so, Invisible Generals is my family story of America's
Speaker 2: first two black generals. And these two gentlemen, a father
Speaker 2: and his son were critical to the integration of the
Speaker 2: United States of America's military, which was seventy five years
Speaker 2: ago this year, and also were the two men responsible
Speaker 2: for getting the legislation passed to create the Tuskegee Airmen,
Speaker 2: and then the son commanded the Tuskegee Airmen. So these
Speaker 2: two men did so much in history. And out of
Speaker 2: the three hundred and thirty five thousand people in the
Speaker 2: military at the start of World War Two, there was
Speaker 2: only two black officers wo a father and a son,
Speaker 2: and they were the invisible generals, treated as if they
Speaker 2: were invisible as a way to get them to resign,
Speaker 2: drop out, or get dishonorably discharged from the military, but
Speaker 2: they used it as a superpower to help change America.
Speaker 5: Well, you know that was gonna be the title of
Speaker 5: the book.
Speaker 2: Probably from the beginning. You know, my dad, that was
Speaker 2: kind of how he presented the story to me about
Speaker 2: Ben and his father as the invisible generals, and I
Speaker 2: just liked the way it sounded. He said it kind
Speaker 2: of impassing to me, but it was something that you know,
Speaker 2: stuck on and the more I researched, the more I
Speaker 2: got involved in it, the more you realized they were
Speaker 2: really treated like they were invisible. No one talked to them,
Speaker 2: they were silent. So that was the title that I
Speaker 2: thought was fitting not only them, their contributions.
Speaker 5: We talked about this on the Daily Show a little bit,
Speaker 5: but it's so fascinating to me, Like, tell them what
Speaker 5: they helped create.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So a lot of times, you know, when
Speaker 2: you talk about veterans, you talk about people in the military,
Speaker 2: you only talk about their military service, but the reality
Speaker 2: is there's so many more contributions. So Ben Davis Junior
Speaker 2: the youngest of the two Invisible generals, when he retired
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy from the military. He then went on
Speaker 2: to work at the Pentagon and he was responsible for
Speaker 2: leading the efforts to create what is now known as
Speaker 2: the TSA. So there was only two airports in the
Speaker 2: whole United States that had commercial security, and there was
Speaker 2: a lot of hijackings and skyjackings. So when he came
Speaker 2: from the military, he said, the first thing that I
Speaker 2: should do is tried and clients were starting to feel
Speaker 2: really uneasy. And back then, hijackers would or the airplane
Speaker 2: take out what they would run down the aisle, take
Speaker 2: everybody's jewels and then open the door and parachute out.
Speaker 2: So this happened seventy eighty ninety times a month. I mean,
Speaker 2: if you look at the staticta, it's crazy. But airlines
Speaker 2: were just getting started at that level and scale that
Speaker 2: we know them today. So he said, we have to
Speaker 2: make sure that aviation is safe, and it was key
Speaker 2: to do the proper communication because he didn't want people
Speaker 2: to get scared and then not want to fly, because
Speaker 2: you make everybody nervous to travel and things of that nature.
Speaker 2: So he said, there's two things that we have to do.
Speaker 2: Number one, we need to have people undercover and have
Speaker 2: them federally regulated to make sure, like you know, passenger
Speaker 2: fifty seven, like Leslie Snipes, you know, he has to
Speaker 2: go on here and like protect the plane. And he
Speaker 2: oversaw the training of four thousand officers who ended up
Speaker 2: being the first federally funded air marshal or sky marshall program.
Speaker 2: So that was one solution. And the second solution was
Speaker 2: take the two airports in DC that had commercial security
Speaker 2: and see how he could replicate that use X rays
Speaker 2: and using metal detectors for luggages and people to ensure
Speaker 2: that they were safe when they went in. So this
Speaker 2: man did both of these contributions and people never heard
Speaker 2: of them. Yeah, we use these things all day, every day.
Speaker 2: We don't even think about it.
Speaker 8: I was gonna ask, so when he did it so far,
Speaker 8: so long ago, why did it take so long for
Speaker 8: the whole world to jump?
Speaker 11: Was it?
Speaker 1: Was it the nine eleven fear?
Speaker 2: And yeah, nine to eleven fear was when TSA, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of up their game a little bit and became
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a federally funded and centralized
Speaker 2: because each airport was doing it somewhat individually. They had
Speaker 2: the federal standards, but each airport had a little You
Speaker 2: remember before nine to eleven you would kind of go
Speaker 2: one minute early. You'd be like, oh, went off in
Speaker 2: your pocket. They'd be like, you're so crazy, what was
Speaker 2: going on here? So that was when it became what
Speaker 2: we most people know of it today. But you know,
Speaker 2: he did these under the guidance of the president at
Speaker 2: the time, and it was important that he made aviation safe.
Speaker 2: So that's one of the stories I share in the
Speaker 2: book is how can we not know these stories?
Speaker 5: And then the speed limit, Like, that's crazy to even
Speaker 5: think that there was a time where there was no
Speaker 5: speed limit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and this was under the Carter administration. Those
Speaker 2: two were under the Knicks administration. But under the Carter
Speaker 2: administration he went and they brought him on in nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy five to be a special assistant to help create
Speaker 2: a national speed limit. So it was it served two
Speaker 2: different purposes. Part of the purposes was to ensure that
Speaker 2: maximize gas because there was a gas shortage and they
Speaker 2: wanted everybody to drive, you know, at a rate that
Speaker 2: would maximize the RPMs of the car. And then the
Speaker 2: second part of it was to federalize a national speed
Speaker 2: limit because there was a lot of confusion in the
Speaker 2: states truck drivers ticketing, but people didn't want it, you know,
Speaker 2: And it was really his last assignment, and some would
Speaker 2: argue he got you know, that was his last assignment
Speaker 2: because everybody was writing letters going, we hate the fifty
Speaker 2: five mile hour speed limit. It was sixty five. You
Speaker 2: lowered it. I bought this fast car. I hate it.
Speaker 2: So he was nicknamed mister fifty five. But it wasn't
Speaker 2: something at the time that was very complimentary. People really
Speaker 2: thought it was more of a burden. But he was
Speaker 2: the one who made sure that was put into a
Speaker 2: federal law.
Speaker 8: So my question is is a lot right at So
Speaker 8: you talk about TSA, you talk about you know, what
Speaker 8: he did in the military, and you know, even with
Speaker 8: the speed limit. What made you want to share this story?
Speaker 8: What was the point where you said, I want to
Speaker 8: share this story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, you know, it came out in an unexpected way.
Speaker 2: So I was invited to a screening of the movie
Speaker 2: Red Tails and Terrence Howard in the movie was the
Speaker 2: commander of the Red Tails. Ye, and we're all there,
Speaker 2: it's the Red Tails. It's you know, a bunch of
Speaker 2: you know, actual Tusky airman on one side and then
Speaker 2: the actors on the other side. And I'm in the
Speaker 2: middle and they're.
Speaker 1: Like, Doug, this is the screening of Red Tails.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my gosh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2: And then we get down to the screening and he
Speaker 2: comes on the screen and his name was changed, and
Speaker 2: I was like, what, Colonel Bullard?
Speaker 5: Who is that?
Speaker 2: So I'm furious and I leave and there's an act
Speaker 2: after party and I start asking people at the party
Speaker 2: who's who changed the names and they're like, oh, Doug,
Speaker 2: this is Hollywood. This isn't a documentary this is this
Speaker 2: is a movie that fictionalizes the Red Tails, And I go, yeah,
Speaker 2: but all the families are here and all the names
Speaker 2: are changed. And I went home and I said, Dad,
Speaker 2: this is you know, outrageous, And my dad laughed to
Speaker 2: me and goes, Doug, if you think changing the names
Speaker 2: are bad, let me tell you how I was raised
Speaker 2: and how Ben and his father helped raise me, and
Speaker 2: how they lived as if they were invisible because our
Speaker 2: lives were threatened. And then he shared with me the
Speaker 2: story and that kind of sent me on a journey
Speaker 2: to start researching and going in because even my dad
Speaker 2: found out things during this process that he didn't know about,
Speaker 2: and it was it was an incredible experience to go
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 8: All right, We got more with Doug Melville when we
Speaker 8: come back. His book Invisible Generals is out right now,
Speaker 8: So don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is dj
Speaker 1: n V Charlamagne Day.
Speaker 8: We are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with
Speaker 8: Doug Melville. His book Invisible Generals is out right now.
Speaker 5: Chentlemen talk to us about you know why telling these
Speaker 5: stories is so important for the families to retain ownership.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So my biggest thing of like my purpose was
Speaker 2: when I started finding out after Red Tales, the families
Speaker 2: of these movies that we watch don't necessarily get paid.
Speaker 2: You know, the family of other movies Devotion or you
Speaker 2: know Red Tales. Sometimes the families are brought on as advisors,
Speaker 2: but there's not necessarily a name and likeness fee. There's
Speaker 2: no creative input from the families necessarily. So the more
Speaker 2: I started researching this, the more I realized is that
Speaker 2: the people who film the story or write the story
Speaker 2: own the story because people in the military are public servants,
Speaker 2: so it's all public domain. So all these stories of congressmen,
Speaker 2: elected officials, military veterans, anyone in the public sector, anyone
Speaker 2: can tell your story and you don't have to get
Speaker 2: paid for it. So I said, there is no way
Speaker 2: that this story is gonna survive and have someone else
Speaker 2: swoop in tell the story. How they want to own
Speaker 2: the rights to the story. And then here the family
Speaker 2: is doesn't get any rights for the name or the story.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 5: I love the title of the chapter, extraordinary just to
Speaker 5: be ordinary.
Speaker 2: Explain it so extraordinary just to be ordinary was kind
Speaker 2: of like that rule that maybe your family gave you
Speaker 2: that you got to work twice as hard as half
Speaker 2: as much.
Speaker 5: You know, this is basically the black family, by the way,
Speaker 5: black man.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's it's a thing
Speaker 2: that you're raised with.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 2: My dad would always say, Doug see is for garbage man,
Speaker 2: And I would say, no, Dad. You know, Billy got
Speaker 2: to see other people that He's like, Nannah, Doug, Nana,
Speaker 2: you can't get a sea. So I think extraordinary, just
Speaker 2: to be ordinary was really the plight of these two men.
Speaker 2: Graduate are the only two officers in the United States
Speaker 2: of America, and now they can't be in charge of
Speaker 2: anybody because the military segregated. So their job was to
Speaker 2: go to black colleges and teach ROTC. So for four
Speaker 2: years they go to all these black colleges. And this
Speaker 2: is when the black graduation rate was under ten percent,
Speaker 2: so the literacy rate was low. They go to all
Speaker 2: these black colleges, two officers that should be in charge
Speaker 2: of people going into battle and they're teaching military war college.
Speaker 2: But they didn't complain. They said, what we're going to
Speaker 2: do is we're going to tell these men, your black
Speaker 2: men keep your chin up, keep your head up, focus
Speaker 2: on the dream, write a goal on the wall, and
Speaker 2: one day this country is going to call you and
Speaker 2: need your service. At the start of World War two,
Speaker 2: black pilots were needed and all those men that they
Speaker 2: taught ended up being the fifteen thousand Tuskigee airmen that
Speaker 2: went down to Alabama, and that was the creation of
Speaker 2: what the tusky Gairman became. So when I said extraordinary,
Speaker 2: just ordinary have to sometimes be ten times qualified just
Speaker 2: to get a job that you that someone else did
Speaker 2: with a different background that you just you know, they
Speaker 2: just walked right into it. And you know, crazy, this
Speaker 2: is real life stuff. I mean, this is like all
Speaker 2: of us. You know, you see someone got ten PhDs
Speaker 2: and then this guy's like, oh yeah, but my uncle
Speaker 2: did it, you know.
Speaker 8: So what's your thought on military now, and especially the
Speaker 8: way that they treated your family members and the way
Speaker 8: they've consistently treated black military men.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on it now?
Speaker 2: I think the military is evolving, you know, I kind
Speaker 2: of look at it as like a heartbeat, you know,
Speaker 2: it just goes in and out, in and out. I
Speaker 2: think the military now is in the best place that's
Speaker 2: ever been there's more people looking at this subject than
Speaker 2: ever before. There's more people talking about it, there's more
Speaker 2: eyeballs on it. But just like any big organization or institution,
Speaker 2: you know, more can always be done. But I think
Speaker 2: if you look at our Joint chiefs of Staff, General C. Q. Brown,
Speaker 2: you know, General Austin, you know the top generals in
Speaker 2: the whole United States of America are are black men
Speaker 2: or men of color. So the military really has made
Speaker 2: a conscious effort to do better. And I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people are making an effort. I think the
Speaker 2: challenges is that the receiver of the effort, the people
Speaker 2: that benefit the most, always feel like everything's going too slow.
Speaker 2: Oh is it not moving faster? Oh, by the time
Speaker 2: I do this, I'm going to, you know, be too old.
Speaker 2: So the military is trying to evolve, and I think
Speaker 2: that's all you could really ask. But I think it's
Speaker 2: our responsibility to also evolve it by bringing facts in
Speaker 2: stories that change the narrative Black people in the military.
Speaker 2: Their stories have been made invisible or have been a
Speaker 2: race just like with you know, redlining. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: so many stories of all these different black communities flooded
Speaker 2: to become Lakes. You know, you look at Central Park.
Speaker 2: I mean you look at all these different things and say,
Speaker 2: what everything keeps getting erased and deleted. So if we
Speaker 2: don't go back and ask our fathers and grandfathers and
Speaker 2: uncles and aunts what happened back in the day, we're
Speaker 2: never going to really get the real sal story. And
Speaker 2: then we have to take everybody at their word, and
Speaker 2: that word may have been skewed or biased based on
Speaker 2: the people who wrote the word, based on historians, based
Speaker 2: on what people chose to feel. What's valuable in writing?
Speaker 1: You know what I love, man?
Speaker 5: I love the fact that you know, when you look
Speaker 5: at all the books that are being banned and you
Speaker 5: look at things like Critical Race there and how they're
Speaker 5: really trying to erase so many of black people's contributions.
Speaker 5: This is why books like Invisible General are so important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know. I actually it's funny enough. Shar
Speaker 2: I asked if I could have a book band meeting
Speaker 2: because I wanted to understand what constitutes a band book.
Speaker 2: And I asked, I called everybody and we had a
Speaker 2: zoom and I said, excuse me, can I have a
Speaker 2: request a banned book meeting? And they all get on
Speaker 2: the phone and they're explaining to me, if you bring
Speaker 2: up a side of alternative history, then that could be
Speaker 2: considered to be a bandage.
Speaker 5: The thing is alternative history. It's either history or it
Speaker 5: is not.
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, but it's alternative to what is the
Speaker 2: general understood history. Actually that came out, so it's very subjective.
Speaker 2: The truth right about history. Don't be showing up here
Speaker 2: with a new story that no one ever heard of
Speaker 2: and then try to get it put into the schools.
Speaker 2: But the thing about the banned books, that's so wild,
Speaker 2: and think about it. We don't ban websites, we don't
Speaker 2: ban anything on streaming, but there's something about the book
Speaker 2: and something about the written word that everything stems off
Speaker 2: of that people want to ban. And it's just really
Speaker 2: odd for me. But the result of that meeting was
Speaker 2: they said that in the state of Florida, in the
Speaker 2: state of Texas, public schools and universities, sometimes public libraries
Speaker 2: may not actually carry the book due to the book ban,
Speaker 2: and it may actually end up on a list.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Wow.
Speaker 5: In the book, you also say a father figure Inspies
Speaker 5: is meant to achieve I loved it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ben Davis Junior was really the many
Speaker 2: of the Tusky era and the ones that are still
Speaker 2: alive or you read stories, they looked at him as
Speaker 2: a father figure. And actually Ben Davis Junior had no
Speaker 2: biology kids of his own, but my dad was his
Speaker 2: oldest nephew, and when he found out his wife couldn't
Speaker 2: bear children, he wanted the same relationship with his son
Speaker 2: that his dad had with him. And they went to
Speaker 2: Connecticut and got my dad at seven, brought him down
Speaker 2: a Tuskegee and my dad was raised by him and
Speaker 2: his wife Agatha. And I just look at that and say,
Speaker 2: you don't have to do that. You know, you're you're
Speaker 2: fighting all these other people, you're doing all this work,
Speaker 2: and you still want to go and be that extra
Speaker 2: father figure. So that was really, you know, where he
Speaker 2: sat in my family, but also for all the Tuskegee
Speaker 2: airman and they always say if it wasn't for Ben Davis,
Speaker 2: you know, he would always say, you have to use
Speaker 2: the system to diffuse the system. And that was his
Speaker 2: big line to the men. Don't yes I like that,
Speaker 2: don't go out here trying to do too much. Just
Speaker 2: use the system to diffuse the system. First, you got
Speaker 2: to get in the system. Then once you're in the system,
Speaker 2: you got to have a voice. Then once you have
Speaker 2: a voice, then you get a vote. Once you get
Speaker 2: a vote, then you can make policy. And that could
Speaker 2: take twenty thirty years. But if you want to change
Speaker 2: the way things are, I mean, it's our responsibility to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 8: All right, We got more with Doug Melville when we
Speaker 8: come back. His book Invisible Generals is out right now,
Speaker 8: so don't move his the breakfast Club, Good morning, when
Speaker 8: everybody is dnt V, Charlamage, the guy we are the
Speaker 8: breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Doug Melville is here.
Speaker 8: He has a new book on Charlomagne's imprint, is called
Speaker 8: Invisible General Charlamagne.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the million Dollar Star chapter two, because
Speaker 5: you say sometimes you're tolerated but not celebrated. Other times
Speaker 5: you're celebrated but not compensated. Yeah, more important, celebrated or compensated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the million Dollar Star chapter I talk about.
Speaker 2: So Ben didn't get his fourth star in nineteen sixty
Speaker 2: seven under LBJ. He retired in nineteen seventy. He should
Speaker 2: have been a four star general. So thirty plus years
Speaker 2: go by, luckily. Senator John McCain vouched after many, many
Speaker 2: attempts to get him his fourth star that he rightly deserved,
Speaker 2: so finally the bill passes. It was actually written in
Speaker 2: to a defense bill and part of the stipulation there
Speaker 2: was two stipulations. Number one was you're gonna retire under
Speaker 2: You're gonna get to four star under retirement, so not
Speaker 2: active duty, which is standard. But number two was the
Speaker 2: family would not get one penny of compensation wow for
Speaker 2: the thirty years past or the years forward. And it
Speaker 2: caused a whole argument in the family, and his wife
Speaker 2: of over sixty years does not go to the ceremony.
Speaker 2: She says, we will not go all the things the
Speaker 2: United States did to us, and you don't want to
Speaker 2: pay us, but you want to give us the star.
Speaker 2: So when I say go where you're celebrated, not tolerated,
Speaker 2: I really mean that. But then don't go where you're
Speaker 2: not compensated, because that happens every day. You know, people
Speaker 2: that are historically oppressed are paid with opportunity and lieu
Speaker 2: of money, and this is something that we have to
Speaker 2: make sure we tell our children, our family members. When
Speaker 2: you don't have any money, people pay you with opportunity,
Speaker 2: which is good.
Speaker 5: Opportunity lead the money though.
Speaker 2: It can, but you have to have that time. And
Speaker 2: when you need that hand the mouse situation where you
Speaker 2: don't have that money, rants do car payment, et cetera,
Speaker 2: then you have to really do the best you can do.
Speaker 2: And then you feel like you're the opportunity is not confirmed,
Speaker 2: you know, it's like you just it's like the opportunity bank.
Speaker 2: Is it real? You know? And for you know, some
Speaker 2: people that have money, you could buy time. But if
Speaker 2: you don't have any money, opportunity is great, but it
Speaker 2: doesn't really mean anything without that money, but only stories.
Speaker 5: Listening to your family members in the military, did you
Speaker 5: ever want to go into the military?
Speaker 2: Hell no, you listen. I can't do all that. I
Speaker 2: want to tell jokes and laugh and you know, shuck
Speaker 2: it up and like, hey, what's you guys doing when
Speaker 2: we're going out tonight? You know when we play in spades.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do the like fun cool thing that military.
Speaker 2: When they said you got to get up, eat up,
Speaker 2: sit straight, iron, make your bed, I was like, whoa,
Speaker 2: take it easy, take it easy. I'm trying to go
Speaker 2: to college and let my college experience, right, I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to go to the military. They never promoted it
Speaker 2: good or bad. And I think sometimes when we talk
Speaker 2: about Veterans Day, we forget sometimes people aren't in the military,
Speaker 2: but they still live a veteran family life. But I
Speaker 2: can tell you one thing, I think the military it's
Speaker 2: a hard assignment. It's like West Point is like Harvard,
Speaker 2: but also with PT you know, you still got to
Speaker 2: go through all the exercises and everything. But I'm not
Speaker 2: really trying to do all that. I'm trying to laugh
Speaker 2: it up, hang out with the fellas. You know what
Speaker 2: we're doing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You know, military
Speaker 2: is like get one day off quick, eat up, stand up,
Speaker 2: sit up. I'm like, oh, man, I can't do all that.
Speaker 5: So what do you hope people take from reading Invisible Generals?
Speaker 11: Man?
Speaker 2: I would like people to get from Invisible Generals. First off,
Speaker 2: we need to support our veterans and tell our stories
Speaker 2: of our veterans. And I think that's the main thing
Speaker 2: I want people to do is take a minute love
Speaker 2: thy VETERANGI date right around the corner Veterans Day. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. We need to be out here loving
Speaker 2: the veterans, hyping them up positive, looking at them as
Speaker 2: not people running around and fatigues, but people all in
Speaker 2: the world CEO, CFO coos. I think that's so important.
Speaker 2: And then the next thing I want people to take
Speaker 2: out of this book is I want everybody to own
Speaker 2: their own story. You have got to write your family story,
Speaker 2: Charlotte Magne Envy everybody. You know we write memoirs sometimes,
Speaker 2: but sometimes you have to go back two or three generations,
Speaker 2: understand the jet fuel that your family worked for in
Speaker 2: that generational collateral, and see can you actually continue something.
Speaker 2: You're not lost. You didn't just get dropped here. But
Speaker 2: I want people to take that time to look on
Speaker 2: their couch before their family members pass away and say, hey,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, let's go out here, let's
Speaker 2: learn about our family. Because I switched my career to
Speaker 2: become a diversity officer in corporate America when I found
Speaker 2: out my family story. You know, I was working in
Speaker 2: LA for Magic Johnson and he was teaching me what
Speaker 2: diversity was, but I wasn't doing a diverse see in
Speaker 2: a corporate environment. But the second that I found out
Speaker 2: my family story, I say, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: make sure I make those who are invisible visible and
Speaker 2: corporate environments. And that was because I asked the people
Speaker 2: on my couch what they live through. So if there's
Speaker 2: one thing to take out of it, that's what it
Speaker 2: would be.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Veterans Day is eleven eleven.
Speaker 2: That's right, right, eleven eleven at one eleven, that's the
Speaker 2: time World War One ended.
Speaker 5: So make sure to do something great for a veteran
Speaker 5: this week. You know, I've said this a million times.
Speaker 5: I hate how this country treates veterans. There's nothing I
Speaker 5: hate more than seeing somebody who's fought for this country
Speaker 5: on the side of the road with a sign begging
Speaker 5: for change.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like veterans should get free room and board.
Speaker 5: I think they should get free health care, and I
Speaker 5: think they should get a stipend every month to you know,
Speaker 5: take care whatever they need to take care of.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, and especially mental health.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: You know, the amount of veterans that commit suicide, the
Speaker 2: amount of veterans that are homeless, and you know, their
Speaker 2: benefits get cut off, their work skills may not be tight.
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, we could all just learn
Speaker 2: a lot and realize that you know, their experience was
Speaker 2: just five minutes ago. But we do need to do
Speaker 2: something for the veterans and today's election day, Veterans Day
Speaker 2: is just coming up this weekend, so try to do something.
Speaker 18: Well.
Speaker 5: Make sure y'all go pick up Invisible Generals. It is

Speaker 1: Hamilton didn't get one. Who that is? H okay? Then
Speaker 1: got one?
Speaker 5: Damn it?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 8: Well, Timberland people were mad at Timberland. That's because he
Speaker 8: was doing an interview and he said that maybe justin
Speaker 8: Timberlake should have put a muzzle on Britney Spears is.
Speaker 2: Making headlines again because of Britney's memoir.
Speaker 3: She said that all crazy.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it.
Speaker 8: Well, people were upset about that. Britney Spears was super
Speaker 8: super super super upset about it. They said, Uh, yes,
Speaker 8: some of the comments if you see Timberland talking is
Speaker 8: about Britney is because she refused to work with him
Speaker 8: in two thousand and six after he begged her to
Speaker 8: work with him. Somebody said Timberland who somebody else has
Speaker 8: said Timberland is a waste of a sperm for being
Speaker 8: disrespectful to Britney Spears.
Speaker 1: Uh, the loser can go to hell.
Speaker 5: Well, man, Timbo wasn't talking and that was not disrespectful.
Speaker 5: Timbo was from Virginia. Man, That's how country folk talk.
Speaker 5: He was even you could you could hear it was.
Speaker 5: It was Kinnie and Jess.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, Like, come on, but we
Speaker 8: know Timberland as a person, so we know not that
Speaker 8: type of person. But Timberland did apologize for, you know,
Speaker 8: for hurting the fans feelings and taking a quote unquote
Speaker 8: share woman.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, to all the Britney fans out you right,
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'm wrong muzzle. You know, it's just certain words.
Speaker 21: It don't like a dog like she's not no dog
Speaker 21: with the freaking myself like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 21: He was just like, you know how you just got
Speaker 21: too comfortable, just just just rambling at the mouth. It's
Speaker 21: just don't know what you're talking about. That's justin Timberlake,
Speaker 21: you know. But at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 21: just it's none of my business.
Speaker 5: You felt like an apology. Is nothing wrong with that either,
Speaker 5: you know, apologizing. But that is a moment where he
Speaker 5: was talking freely in front of people he probab wouldn't
Speaker 5: shouldn't have been talking freely in front of him, No.
Speaker 8: So yeah, And Tyler Perry, he was on the view
Speaker 8: talking about a new project that's coming out that's dedicated
Speaker 8: to his late mother. He was talking to the whole
Speaker 8: Sarah Haynes and and started tearing up a little bit
Speaker 8: when talking about his mom.
Speaker 9: It was a well done so thank you.
Speaker 22: I'm very proud of them. They did a great job.
Speaker 16: When I met Maxine through all of it, I didn't
Speaker 16: know her, but it shows just how much you endured
Speaker 16: as a child.
Speaker 22: You Yeah, wait a minute, that who took me. You
Speaker 22: met that, you met my mother through it. Man, that's wow,
Speaker 22: you really got me there. I'm sorry, I need to
Speaker 22: get myself together.
Speaker 23: Hello, Hell, I'm sorry we're talking about Yes, yes, I
Speaker 23: just imagine a woman who's lived her entire life with
Speaker 23: so much pain, and she was always worried about everybody else.
Speaker 23: And I think I've watched her get sick, I watched
Speaker 23: her get canceled, I watched I have all of these things.
Speaker 23: Because her intention was are you happy? Are you okay?
Speaker 23: She never put herself on the list. So to say
Speaker 23: that this documentary that Lelian LEMANI did about my life
Speaker 23: introduces her to the world, that that moves me.
Speaker 1: Tell you something, man.
Speaker 5: Tyler Perry documentary Maxine's Baby. I had the pleasure of
Speaker 5: seeing that documentary some months ago, and it.
Speaker 1: Is very very, very very very powerful.
Speaker 5: One of the best documentaries I've seen.
Speaker 1: In a long time.
Speaker 5: And you know it is you know, when you watch
Speaker 5: the documentary, you realize it is the greatest honor a
Speaker 5: son could give his mother, you know, because he was
Speaker 5: God's gift to her, and she shared her gift with
Speaker 5: the world. It's a very inspiring documentary. Man, abolutely can't
Speaker 5: wait till people see it. It's called Maxine's Baby, the
Speaker 5: Tyler Perry Story, that's right. And when you watch it, man,
Speaker 5: there's so many gyms in it because you know you're
Speaker 5: gonna feel you know, I feel like watching it when
Speaker 5: I watched it. You know, men, we don't really unpack
Speaker 5: a lot of issues with our fathers, our father figures.
Speaker 5: But you know, Tyler Perry does that a lot in
Speaker 5: this documentary, and I think, you know, unpacking, you know,
Speaker 5: our issues with our fathers our father figures is imperative
Speaker 5: to our healing. So yeah, I can't wait till everybody
Speaker 5: gets to see a Maxine's Baby, all right, and salt
Speaker 5: to Tyler Perry, and that is it's coming on Amazon,
Speaker 5: Amazon taking, okay, and that is your rumor report, all
Speaker 5: right now, charlamagn who are giving that dunkan two man
Speaker 5: for after the Hour?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: I need?
Speaker 5: Who the hell am I giving Donkey two? So much
Speaker 5: going on this money, oh man. A guy named Marcus A. Stapleton.
Speaker 5: He's actually from New Jersey right right over the bridge. Man,
Speaker 5: he's thirty five years old. And it is a lesson
Speaker 5: to be learned in this I don't know if it's
Speaker 5: a lesson that'll ever be corrected, because you know, we're
Speaker 5: talking about systems here, and these systems are working the
Speaker 5: way that they designed to work. But we'll discuss all right,
Speaker 5: We'll get into that next, So don't move. It's the
Speaker 5: breakfast club in the morning.
Speaker 3: The breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 1: Damn, but he hogged.
Speaker 2: It's time for donkey, I mean, trying to beat donkey today.
Speaker 1: No more.
Speaker 5: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
Speaker 5: not making new people do these days.
Speaker 1: Called donkey of the day, and it really caught me
Speaker 1: off guard.
Speaker 24: Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of the day today?
Speaker 5: Wow, Jess hilarious. Donkey Today for Wednesday, November eighth goes
Speaker 5: to thirty five year old Marcus A. Stapleton.
Speaker 1: Now, I believe Marcus is from New Jersey.
Speaker 5: He was in prison in New Jersey, so I'm assuming
Speaker 5: he's from New Jersey. But according to police, he has
Speaker 5: a lengthy criminal record and he was just released from
Speaker 5: prison in New Jersey. Now I don't know what he
Speaker 5: was in prison for, and I know there are a
Speaker 5: lot of people right now listening to me in the
Speaker 5: county jail, listening to me in prison, and they are
Speaker 5: dreaming of being released. Some of them have released age,
Speaker 5: some of them don't. Some are coming home sooner than others.
Speaker 5: With themorrow of the story is all of them are
Speaker 5: dreaming about coming home. What are some of the first
Speaker 5: things folks want to do when they get out of prison.
Speaker 5: Number one is just simple socialization, okay, getting back acclimated
Speaker 5: with society. Small dinner, you know, meet up with some friends,
Speaker 5: of course, if you have a lady in your life,
Speaker 5: connecting with her, getting some cheeks, okay, if you got kids,
Speaker 5: going to love on them, finding a job. Most brothers
Speaker 5: when they get out of prison are simply trying to
Speaker 5: do everything they can to not go back. Well, Marcus
Speaker 5: Ay stayed with them. Clearly is not like most brothers. See,
Speaker 5: Marcus got released from prison, and the first thing he did,
Speaker 5: I'm talking the very first thing he did, was find
Speaker 5: a way to go back. In fact, he found a
Speaker 5: way to celebrate. I don't know why he thought this
Speaker 5: was the celebration, but let's go to Q one and fourth.
Speaker 5: Jim Carferryport Please.
Speaker 25: A man just released from prison in New Jersey, celebrated
Speaker 25: the accomplishment by stealing an ambulance, smashing into a convenience store,
Speaker 25: and hitting a state police cruiser. Marcus A. Stapleton, aged
Speaker 25: thirty five, is accused of crashing the vehicle and then
Speaker 25: fleeing on foot before being captured inside a nearby factory.
Speaker 25: The incident occurred shortly after one am Monday, when Stapleton
Speaker 25: told the convenience store clerk he had a body in
Speaker 25: the ambulance and needed directions. The clerk gave the directions
Speaker 25: and then immediately called nine to one one. Stapleton then
Speaker 25: went back to the store asking for more directions. That's
Speaker 25: when the suspect hopped back into the ambulance and drove
Speaker 25: it into the front of the store before driving off.
Speaker 25: Two police officers then stopped their cruiser in the street,
Speaker 25: hoping to stop the ambulance. However, the vehicle did not stop,
Speaker 25: instead hitting the passenger side front fender of the cruiser.
Speaker 25: That's when Stapleton fled on foot and attempted to hide
Speaker 25: before cop busted him. Stay Ful ten has been charged
Speaker 25: with that faggravated assault and other related charges.
Speaker 5: Need I remind you he did all of this immediately
Speaker 5: after just being released from prison immediately, ain't sap Okay. Now,
Speaker 5: they said he's a disabled veteran and was staying with
Speaker 5: his wife. Well that's what he said. He said he's
Speaker 5: a disabled veteran and was staying with his wife after
Speaker 5: getting out of jail in Bergen City, New Jersey. Marcus,
Speaker 5: if you got a wife, you're not acting like it,
Speaker 5: because after being in prison, I would have been trying
Speaker 5: to do everything in my power to stay up under
Speaker 5: my wife's cheeks. Okay, you sir, acting like you left
Speaker 5: Bay behind bars? Maybe all right? The man once got
Speaker 5: a boyfriend in the only logical explanation. Okay, he told Boo,
Speaker 5: I'll be back in time to spend Thanksgiving with you.
Speaker 5: And man is he keeping promises?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 5: Police said he has a lengthy criminal record. All right,
Speaker 5: this man is institutionalized. He has no idea how to
Speaker 5: operate outside of prison.
Speaker 1: All those things.
Speaker 5: You know I described to you, getting the job, getting
Speaker 5: acclimated in society, that's too much for him, all right. See,
Speaker 5: he didn't even get out and commit a crime that
Speaker 5: had anything to do with trying to get some money.
Speaker 5: He wasn't even trying to get back on his feet.
Speaker 5: He got out stole an ambulance and drove it to
Speaker 5: the wall of a convenience store and then hit a
Speaker 5: state police cruiser. That man was trying to get back
Speaker 5: to the boo, the boyfriend he left behind, all right.
Speaker 5: To quote a future NBA Hall of Famer, he was
Speaker 5: thinking about that meat, all right, Marcus A. Stapleton had
Speaker 5: that meat on his mind, and he wanted to get
Speaker 5: back to it, because ain't no way, all right, some
Speaker 5: people just career criminals, man. And if these prisons, these
Speaker 5: jails were the correctional facilities they claimed to beat, and maybe,
Speaker 5: just maybe they could get this brother the mental and
Speaker 5: emotional help he needs to become a productive citizen in
Speaker 5: this society. If this man could earn a trade in prison,
Speaker 5: get a higher level of education, get some mental health treatment,
Speaker 5: then he would he would have some tools to help
Speaker 5: him land on his feet when he's released from prison.
Speaker 5: I used the term get back on his feet earlier,
Speaker 5: and we used that term a lot when we talk
Speaker 5: about brothers and sisters getting released from prison. We got
Speaker 5: to erase that from all lexicons, because that's not the
Speaker 5: way it should be. If you spend all this time
Speaker 5: in a so called correctional facility. You should actually be
Speaker 5: released from prison on your feet. You should actually be
Speaker 5: released standing on business, all right, because if these facilities
Speaker 5: were actual correctional institutions, folks would acquire a whole new
Speaker 5: set of skills that they could use in the real world. Okay,
Speaker 5: but all these places do is script you of dignity.
Speaker 5: Folks can't even self educate themselves anymore because they've banned
Speaker 5: so many books in prison. So if you don't let
Speaker 5: people educate themselves, you don't teach them a trade, you
Speaker 5: don't get them the resources they need to take care
Speaker 5: of their mental and physical well being. If you don't
Speaker 5: give these individuals nothing but a hard time, what do
Speaker 5: you think they are gonna end up doing?
Speaker 1: Say it with me, kids.
Speaker 5: The word of the day is recidivism. Okay, it's a cycle,
Speaker 5: all right. Rearrest, reconviction, reincarnation, no, not reincarnation. Reincarnation would
Speaker 5: be good if you got a life centerce reincarceration, okay, rearrangement.
Speaker 5: All of these things could be corrected if we wanted
Speaker 5: them to be. All right, This cycle could be broken
Speaker 5: if we wanted it to be.
Speaker 1: But it won't be.
Speaker 5: Because the system is working exactly the way it was
Speaker 5: designed to work. Please give Marcus A. Stapleton the biggest huh.
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: you won't play a game. Nope, No, not in low game?
Speaker 5: God? All right, right, I guess we'll play a game
Speaker 5: of Yes what racy?
Speaker 13: All right?
Speaker 7: J V.
Speaker 1: Marcus A.
Speaker 5: Stapleton, thirty five years old of New Jersey, was in prison,
Speaker 5: has a lengthy criminal record, was released from prison and
Speaker 5: immediately went to go steal an ambulance, ran it into
Speaker 5: a convenience store, then ran into some state troopers. DJ envy,
Speaker 5: guess what race it is? This is not an easy one.
Speaker 5: Why do you think he's white? Lets ask me, mm, I.
Speaker 8: Don't think black people won't go back to prison once
Speaker 8: they once we are, we're not We're not trying to
Speaker 8: go back. But then again, if he had cheeks, he

Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 8: If you're just joining us, we're talking to women this morning,
Speaker 8: asking women how do they shoot this shot?
Speaker 1: Now, this conversation comes from all of the women here
Speaker 1: at the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: One there was a video that was went viral the
Speaker 8: of a day about this woman. She was in the gym,
Speaker 8: trying to shoot a shot with a guy in the
Speaker 8: gym and the guy paid in no mind. The other
Speaker 8: was suki Hana and Cameron, where Cameron felt like suki
Speaker 8: Hanna was kind of throwing them subliminals.
Speaker 2: Let's hear it.
Speaker 4: I ain't know if it was trying to be subliminal
Speaker 4: with me.
Speaker 12: And you know what I'm saying something sitting there driving mother,
Speaker 12: if I get if I put my blue tooth for it,
Speaker 12: I guess I was playing too much nas and and
Speaker 12: all that too, okay, So then this song comes on,
Speaker 12: she says, I mean ass. I mean there, we switched.
Speaker 5: Now his ass.
Speaker 13: It's you're trying to tell me.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you something about me real quick.
Speaker 12: Let you get in the gooch that's as far as
Speaker 12: you go, and let's say the goose that's under the
Speaker 12: don't touch my ass, don't turn.
Speaker 4: Listen now, have I got my as force when I
Speaker 4: was a teenager and listen you lights wasn't up and
Speaker 4: I was now on my knees.
Speaker 8: And then when I came to work this morning, I
Speaker 8: was talking to the birthday girls from simmer and we
Speaker 8: were talking about how she shoots a shot and sim
Speaker 8: can you jump.
Speaker 2: To the mic.
Speaker 5: Sim big. I call it sim single sim single, sim single.
Speaker 1: So sim how do you shoot your shot when it
Speaker 1: comes to a gentleman?
Speaker 6: I mean, I just gave eye contact three times.
Speaker 5: You have glasses on, some big, big prescription glasses in
Speaker 5: my eyes looked like sexy.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 6: And then when I go out and I put on
Speaker 6: makeup and stuff, I don't have my glasses on.
Speaker 1: You can't even see you just quin staring the hell
Speaker 1: out the man.
Speaker 2: You're just quinting at the man the man, like, is.
Speaker 5: What is going on here?
Speaker 6: You make eye contact three times, because if you make
Speaker 6: eye contact once with somebody, that might just be an accident.
Speaker 6: Then if you look away, like if you're not interested
Speaker 6: in someone and you make eye contact once, you're gonna
Speaker 6: make sure you never lock eyes again because that's just awkward.
Speaker 6: You do twice or three times, that means come over here.
Speaker 5: You know the problem with you women, and this is
Speaker 5: coming from you wish. First of all, black men don't cheat,
Speaker 5: Jeezi says, real don't cheat.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Black men don't whatever it is. We
Speaker 1: don't cheat. Y'all.
Speaker 5: Ain't even take into consideration that woman in the gym.
Speaker 1: What if that man was married.
Speaker 5: What if that man was in a relationship, that's why
Speaker 5: you got your business looking at you making squinty eyes
Speaker 5: or googly eyes or whatever the hell it is you're doing.
Speaker 5: He's not he's ignoring you, correct, because he might be
Speaker 5: in a relationship. Did anybody ever think of that? Did
Speaker 5: that ever cross any of these women's minds?
Speaker 1: Or he might be gay, or he might be gay.
Speaker 24: The sense of entitlement that women have is crazy to me.
Speaker 24: That's not entitledment. Feel like eye contact with a married
Speaker 24: man film, but it's not lusty. It's just eye contact.
Speaker 24: If you're available, you can come over here. If you're
Speaker 24: married and you mind your business, you made a great choice. Okay,
Speaker 24: So what I feel like that's the most.
Speaker 1: Rings and stuff. First, before you start just looking at
Speaker 1: the map. Man, if he's on the other.
Speaker 5: Side of the you can't see that, she can't see
Speaker 5: anything you see, I'll thick her glasses off. And also
Speaker 5: I'll tell you another thing. The truth to the matter is,
Speaker 5: and y'all don't want to talk about diseaser. The Me
Speaker 5: Too movement ruined a lot of that. What you mean,
Speaker 5: because we live in a world where no men are
Speaker 5: going to shoot their shot anymore because they don't want
Speaker 5: anything to be misconscrewed. Nobody wants to be accused of
Speaker 5: sexual harassment. Nobody wants to be accused of making a
Speaker 5: woman feel uncomfortable. So if you are in a setting
Speaker 5: like the gym, if you are interested in the dude,
Speaker 5: maybe you should make the first move, ladies, and keep
Speaker 5: it simple. Walk up to a person you know, Ask
Speaker 5: them if they're in a relationship, ask them if they're available.
Speaker 1: If they are, give them your number. Are y'all exchange numbers?
Speaker 5: Don't leave it up to the man because nowadays man
Speaker 5: men is taking extra precautions.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 8: Well, you know you're having a shin date tonight for
Speaker 8: your birthday. So what you should do if you see
Speaker 8: a gentleman out there? Mercedes is coming to So y'are
Speaker 8: both single, so y'all both do this. I'm gonna let
Speaker 8: Mercedes get chose. But I'm just say, my sister, if
Speaker 8: you see somebody out there that that y'all like, y'all should,
Speaker 8: you should approach him and say hello, Hi, you doing?
Speaker 1: Mercedes is gonna stand before you because she's six foot nine.
Speaker 6: You know that's my toe, NB, I said, Mercedes is
Speaker 6: going to stand out, so she's gonna get to me
Speaker 6: in tonight for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phone line.
Speaker 4: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 15: Man?
Speaker 1: Hello? She does not wear size eleven?
Speaker 11: Hello?
Speaker 1: Good morning?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you hey, Jessica?
Speaker 5: Good morning.
Speaker 26: So let me just get right into it the way
Speaker 26: how I shoot my shot with dudes. Person from a
Speaker 26: side notes, girls do way too much like a lot
Speaker 26: of dudes don't be having self awareness.
Speaker 11: So I just go straight for it.
Speaker 1: So I had to use.
Speaker 26: I go up to a dude that I finance hat
Speaker 26: and you know, I like, I'm picking up the keys
Speaker 26: and I'm asking him, I asking him, so are you
Speaker 26: your cues? And he looks at me and say, no,
Speaker 26: did I not my keys? And I'm like, okay, perfect,
Speaker 26: Now I have a reason to speak to you. Then
Speaker 26: he smiles, and then I come from her smiles and
Speaker 26: you're going from there.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So you woke up to a man
Speaker 1: and you kick a little joke.
Speaker 5: This is her making the first move. This is what
Speaker 5: I think women should do in twenty twenty three. Women
Speaker 5: should make the first move. All right, Well, let me
Speaker 5: let me go to another line.
Speaker 1: Let's say, uh, collect Hello, who's this? I think it's Collect.

Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, Well w NBA exists too, Man, shoot your shot.
Speaker 7: It's really not shooting my shot per se. Because I'm
Speaker 7: a I need an deep emotional connection and it's got
Speaker 7: to be intellectual. And most women are in the in
Speaker 7: the head anyway.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 7: It's for the men, it's in the penis.
Speaker 1: Okay.

Speaker 7: and I look at the person. I'm like, okay, I'm
Speaker 7: in love with you now.

Speaker 7: and I have always had that.
Speaker 5: I just want to know how to shoot your shot. Man,

Speaker 5: Okay, let me try to explain this. When you first
Speaker 5: meet a person, correct, you're in the club, Yes.

Speaker 11: Yeah.

Speaker 5: we live in this world you know where where, you know,
Speaker 5: especially with the me too moving and things of that nature.
Speaker 5: Like you know, nobody wants to be accused of sexual harassment.
Speaker 5: Nobody wants to be accused of making a woman feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: So a lot of guys are just minding their business.
Speaker 27: No, I mean, you know, there's nothing wrong with approaching
Speaker 27: the female, just having a conversation with your name and

Speaker 27: to letting you shoot your shot.
Speaker 8: It's not going so Jada, say you see a gentleman

Speaker 1: Yes, good morning where you call it from Jersey? Jersey?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Now, now, how do Jersey women shoot the shot? When
Speaker 1: it comes to men? What comes to anybody?
Speaker 7: When it comes to me?
Speaker 27: If I see somebody I'm interested in the words at
Speaker 27: a restaurant, I'm gonna send them a shot and give
Speaker 27: them a store and give them a look.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna send them some liquor, yes, sir?
Speaker 5: Okay, I see.
Speaker 12: I like that.
Speaker 5: I like any woman making the first move. I feel
Speaker 5: like nowadays women should make the first move because that keeps,
Speaker 5: you know, everything that keeps, that keeps things not being
Speaker 5: that keeps things from being misconscrewed. I think I said
Speaker 5: that right, That keeps situations from being miscontrued when the
Speaker 5: woman makes the first move.
Speaker 1: Hey, t Hey, good morning tea. Do you shoot your shot?
Speaker 1: When it comes to man, how do you shoot your shot?
Speaker 5: I just smile, you know, and then I'm just straightforward,
Speaker 5: you know, ask with this single but I'm not.
Speaker 11: Going to ask, like off the first loose.
Speaker 9: You know, for a couple of days or.
Speaker 7: Even maybe a couple of weeks off smile, you know,
Speaker 7: and then coming to.
Speaker 8: So let's say you speak this gentleman in the club.
Speaker 8: So it might not be a second day. This is
Speaker 8: gonna be the only time you see this gentleman. How
Speaker 8: are you gonna shoot your shot?
Speaker 5: Mama?
Speaker 7: Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 6: You know, I'm just asking how are you doing?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 5: That's it?
Speaker 1: Straight up.
Speaker 13: That's it.
Speaker 5: There's no need to complicate any of this.
Speaker 1: I am with you. Women. Go ahead and make the
Speaker 1: first move. It's not hard.
Speaker 5: Find out if the guy's single, find out if he's
Speaker 5: not in a relationship, give them your number, exchange numbers,
Speaker 5: going about your day.
Speaker 1: Hello, who's that?
Speaker 11: Ah?
Speaker 15: Right, this is Crystal.
Speaker 5: A four three weeks out here? What's happening?
Speaker 1: Are you shooting your shot? Crystal?
Speaker 15: I think that the way that I shoot is just
Speaker 15: like giving a guy a smile, maybe a little wing,
Speaker 15: you know. I think that should be enough to let
Speaker 15: you know you're interested and you want to come concident.
Speaker 15: Because I was always taught to never looks too thirsty
Speaker 15: for me.
Speaker 5: I don't mind the smile in the wink.
Speaker 13: Man.
Speaker 5: See, this is dope. This is we're getting back.
Speaker 1: The old school ways of doing things. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 5: You let the woman make the first move. A nice
Speaker 5: little smile, a nice little wink. I don't even got
Speaker 5: a problem with the woman walking up, like, yo, let
Speaker 5: me get your number. You single, you're in a relationship, Okay,
Speaker 5: let's just change numbers. Yeah, that's my moral. The moral
Speaker 5: of the story is make the first move. Tell people
Speaker 5: how you feel. Stop being so scared of rejection, Stop
Speaker 5: feeling someone go through thoughts that aren't even yours, and
Speaker 5: stop wasting your damn time. All right, But when we
Speaker 5: come back and got your room and reports, it don't move.
Speaker 5: It's the breakfast club, the moving, the breakfast.
Speaker 1: Club morning everybody.
Speaker 8: It's DJ NV Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: Let's get to the rooms.
Speaker 1: Let's talk. I shot.
Speaker 2: Or you gossip when you chatting?
Speaker 5: Is the I mean?
Speaker 1: I guess we on the breakfast club. This is where
Speaker 1: the tea spells right right all right now us. She
Speaker 1: was recently doing an interview with our friend Carolina bermude
Speaker 1: dropping a blue.
Speaker 5: Bombs for Carolina Bermuda is gonna eat iHeart radios on
Speaker 5: Carolina Bermudez.
Speaker 1: And once she was doing an interview, she asked Usha
Speaker 1: about the R and B Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of.
Speaker 16: Talks circulating right now about the Mount Rushmore of R
Speaker 16: and B, which you are clearly on it.
Speaker 9: But who would be on your Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 28: Ooh, I get to put myself up there. Ronnie Gay
Speaker 28: is going to be up there, Michael's going to be
Speaker 28: up there. No Prince is going to be up there.
Speaker 28: You know. I put a few incredible female vocalists like
Speaker 28: Whitney Houston up there that doesn't have to necessarily just
Speaker 28: be men.
Speaker 9: So I want to talk about your Las Vegas show.
Speaker 18: It's a magnet, you know.
Speaker 28: I think that Las Vegas has always been a place where,
Speaker 28: you know, you go to, you know one have fun,
Speaker 28: but more than anything, you go to.
Speaker 5: Celebrate well dropping the clues bomb of Carolina bermude As again.
Speaker 5: Want to tell E y'all need to be offering Caroline
Speaker 5: in the Max contract. She does a phenomenal job on
Speaker 5: e phenomenal job. And I was thinking about this Mount
Speaker 5: Rushmore of R and B thing yesterday, right, I don't
Speaker 5: know if Michael Jackson and Prince should be on the
Speaker 5: Mount Rushmore of.
Speaker 2: R and B.
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson could. Michael Jackson's done R and B projects, R.
Speaker 5: And B hits, but they kind of like their own genres, right,
Speaker 5: They incorporate so many different styles of music, like Off
Speaker 5: the Wall to me is definitely an R and b's
Speaker 5: R and B. I guess thriller thriller has certain elements
Speaker 5: of an R and B, but what you called thriller
Speaker 5: an R and B record, No, that's what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know. It's R and B song
Speaker 5: after Off the Wall Michaels. You know, he's kind of
Speaker 5: all over the place as far as genre is concerned.
Speaker 5: Prince is always incorporated. I want the Prince, Prince's R
Speaker 5: and B Princess.
Speaker 2: Pot like it was a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would put Mary J.
Speaker 5: Bla oh one hundred perlide is on my Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5: Of R and B, my Mount Rushmore, it's only four.
Speaker 1: Right four. I would have lou for Vandra, Luthor User,
Speaker 1: Marvin Gaye, and Mary J. Blige.
Speaker 5: That would be my four Mount Rushmore as of R
Speaker 5: and B. That's just my personal opinion, mhm, and I
Speaker 5: know objectively people would say, Hey, Kelly should be on
Speaker 5: the Mount Rushmore of R and B. I can't put
Speaker 5: R Kelly over the people I just named. I just
Speaker 5: can't just talk to straight music. Luther Usher, Marvin and
Speaker 5: Mary J. Those four got records I can't live without.
Speaker 5: I can take the leave with a lot of the
Speaker 5: Kelly records. Personally, I would do Mary Michael Usher last one.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know Michael is fair. I think Michael, Michael
Speaker 5: impresson need their own monument somewhere. I don't know if
Speaker 5: you put them on a just a R and B
Speaker 5: Mount Rushmore, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He could be on a bunch of different moments.

Speaker 5: I forget one of our producers, chext Us Stevie wonder,
Speaker 5: Oh Stevie got, Stevie got Come on, see Stevie is
Speaker 5: another one who needs his own monument. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Like my Rushmore, R and B too hard, I don't
Speaker 5: even want that problem. I don't even want that problem.
Speaker 5: Even trying to figure that out, I can't even believe
Speaker 5: I didn't even think of Steve. STEVEE should have been
Speaker 5: top of the mind. You know, put Steve, but I
Speaker 5: put Stevie in that same category of m J and Prince.
Speaker 5: Only differences. Stevie makes R and B.
Speaker 1: Stevie makes Stevie the R and B R B.
Speaker 5: Yes he's the guy. Yes he's the god. He's a god.
Speaker 5: There ain't none of them better than Stevie, none of it,
Speaker 5: none of them.
Speaker 1: That's why I said I would do Stevie, Mary, Michael,
Speaker 1: and Usher. That would be mine.
