Speaker 6: or you have to heat up too high or something small,
Speaker 6: lead the refrigerator open, whatever it may be, and my
Speaker 6: parents used to yell at me like, yay, it's too
Speaker 6: hot in this house. Well, you know, turn this down,
Speaker 6: turn the lights off, and now do the same thing.
Speaker 2: I thought you was talking about something else. I feel
Speaker 2: like that when it comes to smells, like you ever
Speaker 2: be in the bathroom and you be like, damn, I
Speaker 2: smell like my parents used to smell.
Speaker 1: I'd be doing that all the time. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: that smell like my parents used.
Speaker 2: You're not used to walk in your parents bathroom back
Speaker 2: in the day and to have to stint or something.
Speaker 1: And you be like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 2: And then you grow up, you get older, and you
Speaker 2: be like, Oh, that's what adult thing smells like. That's
Speaker 2: what's what a don't thing smells like. I guess I'll
Speaker 2: be yelling at my kids, will say, hey, hey, you
Speaker 2: go open up that water.
Speaker 6: You gotta finish that water. Not just gonna leave half water.
Speaker 6: Drink that water. No complaining about stuff like the lights
Speaker 6: that are literally.
Speaker 2: My daughter hit me about something yesterday because she, uh,
Speaker 2: she turned sixteen this year and she's already got hurt
Speaker 2: sweet sixteen in her mind. And she asked me something
Speaker 2: about her sweet sixteen, which isn't til the summertime, by
Speaker 2: the way, And I said, you got such and such
Speaker 2: money she asked me about.
Speaker 1: I said, you got such and such money. I do
Speaker 1: that too. I do that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but guess what, it's better than the alternative. I
Speaker 2: am happy to be, you know, growing older and being
Speaker 2: here to be able.

Speaker 6: get in some front page news.
Speaker 1: All right, Tesla figure out said good on the test.
Speaker 8: Good morning, DJ Andy, Good morning, Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 1: Now I want to start off with sports. Now NFL.
Speaker 6: Of course, the playoffs start tomorrow four thirty.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the time. Playoffs resume tomorrow, Yeah, resume tomorrow.
Speaker 2: It's the division around. Last week was the wildcard wild
Speaker 2: Card NFL Division Round. Okay, I'm looking at the time.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 6: The Texas Texas played the Ravens tomorrow at four thirty.
Speaker 6: The Packers played the forty nine is at eight fifteen.
Speaker 6: And on Sunday, the Buccaneers picked the Lions at three o'clock,
Speaker 6: and the Chiefs play the Bills at six thirty.
Speaker 1: Man. The Giants take on the Cowboys at twelve midnight.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you something, I don't care. You don't care.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna be watching, but watch.
Speaker 2: This is the best part of the NFL season when
Speaker 2: your team isn't playing because you have no emotional connection
Speaker 2: to nothing, so you're just sitting back and joining the
Speaker 2: entertainment of it.
Speaker 9: Though.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 6: Now, let's start off with this Baltimore High School. Le's
Speaker 6: going on with this Baltimore High School.
Speaker 3: Well, we talked about it.
Speaker 8: We talked about how AI was going to cause all
Speaker 8: types of problems. We've been talking about that all last year.
Speaker 8: We actually talked about it this week. Well, guess what
Speaker 8: it is already starting Baltimore County Public Schools is a
Speaker 8: investigating eleaked audio recording of a high school principle going
Speaker 8: on a racist rent, which he claims is fake and
Speaker 8: made by artificial intelligence. Now, the recording was posted on
Speaker 8: Instagram allegedly capturing this principle by the name of Eric Eysworth,
Speaker 8: making racially charged comments.
Speaker 3: Take a listen, I'm.
Speaker 10: The principal here of me and only me, you know,
Speaker 10: I seriously don't understand why I have to constantly put
Speaker 10: up with these here every day. Jeez, between these ungrateful
Speaker 10: black kids who can't test their way out of a
Speaker 10: paper bag, or these teachers who don't get it, how
Speaker 10: hard is it to get these students to meet their
Speaker 10: grade level expectations? Lawrence and Revenuel should have never been hired.
Speaker 1: And don't let me get started on DJ.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna drag his blacks out of here one way
Speaker 10: or another. I'm gonna get something to stick. I'm just
Speaker 10: so sick of the inadequacies of these people, and if
Speaker 10: I have to get one more complaint from one more
Speaker 10: Jew in this community.
Speaker 1: I'm going to join the other side.
Speaker 10: Kathy, I'm done.
Speaker 1: I don't think AI is that good yet, but I
Speaker 1: don't know it's advant it is. But who is he
Speaker 1: allegedly talking to? Who is he speaking to? Do we know?
Speaker 8: The person's name was Kathy, who they say is the
Speaker 8: assistant principle and has said the Union has said that
Speaker 8: this is not true.
Speaker 3: AI is actually pretty good. They did a whole story
Speaker 3: on it.
Speaker 8: I saw on CNN on the voices and changing people's
Speaker 8: name voice and they show where people are calling in
Speaker 8: to their parents and their parents didn't even recognize, you know,
Speaker 8: who they were. So it's actually pretty good depending on
Speaker 8: the technology. But they said this was not true, that
Speaker 8: it was AI, and they'll be doing an investigation. And
Speaker 8: then also another story that has been put out on
Speaker 8: the internet was they said President Biden was caught on
Speaker 8: a hot mic talking about immigration and how he's going
Speaker 8: to attack Texas, and this is another AI claim. The
Speaker 8: audio is muffled, so I want to read it to you,
Speaker 8: but I am going to play the audio. It says
Speaker 8: we're going to make these cowboys don't stop the search
Speaker 8: of military age men from Entering that was talking about immigration.
Speaker 8: If we had to send F fifteen's to Texas there
Speaker 8: in wage war on Texas, so be it.
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen to that audio going to.
Speaker 11: Make sure of those cowboys going to struct military age
Speaker 11: man from n If we have to send F fifteens
Speaker 11: to textus year and range more against Texas.
Speaker 1: Shall be well.
Speaker 2: Welcome to twenty twenty four. I told y'all last year
Speaker 2: that you know, the lines between reality and what's fake,
Speaker 2: we're already blurred, but stuff like artificial intelligence was going
Speaker 2: to obliterate those lines all together.
Speaker 1: I did a whole donkey of today on this last year.
Speaker 2: We knew that this was coming, so get ready to
Speaker 2: spend all this year trying to figure out what's true
Speaker 2: and what's not true. And that's why even when Peter
Speaker 2: and Morgan was here yesterday, we was having a conversation about,
Speaker 2: you know, world leaders being on social media. I don't
Speaker 2: think no world leaders should be on social media because
Speaker 2: the room for era is too too, too small. Like
Speaker 2: what if you know that that clip right there was
Speaker 2: generated from social media and people said it came from
Speaker 2: his actual account for President Biden's actual account.
Speaker 6: What the problem is, like you said, is AI that advanced? Yes,
Speaker 6: I mean it's to the point and people should look
Speaker 6: at it so they understand what it really is like.
Speaker 6: You can get on it and say anything from send
Speaker 6: me a voice with Charlamagne saying I love DJ ANDB
Speaker 6: so much, and it will make that.
Speaker 1: It will generate it.
Speaker 6: You can say, you know, make me a flyer of
Speaker 6: me on the front page of the daily News, and
Speaker 6: it'll make that.
Speaker 1: Like it is.
Speaker 6: It is ill of how it could be generated. And
Speaker 6: it's not like it's super duper costly. A lot of
Speaker 6: this stuff is fre.
Speaker 1: Very scary.
Speaker 8: Just and some addition, information they clip with President Biden
Speaker 8: that was shared numerous times. Even some folks with some
Speaker 8: credibit that do not like President Biden said this is
Speaker 8: clearly AI. Biden does enough terrible things. There's no need
Speaker 8: to make things up.
Speaker 2: So well, tell me how, tell me how y'all know
Speaker 2: is AI. I'm glad that you know people can make
Speaker 2: that distinction. The other thing about it is there's gonna
Speaker 2: be people out there that's gonna know some of these
Speaker 2: things are AI. But if you already are trying to
Speaker 2: create a narrative about a person and push your narrative
Speaker 2: about a person. You're still gonna put that false phone
Speaker 2: call or false audio out there just to try to
Speaker 2: prove your point on social media. And I'm so afraid
Speaker 2: that some from orson wells war the world's type stuff
Speaker 2: is going to happen because it's some fake audio or
Speaker 2: because of a fake tweet that comes from a world leader.
Speaker 2: Like what if you hear one of these world leaders
Speaker 2: say they just sent the nuke off while somebody creates
Speaker 2: the story that a nuclear weapon is on the way
Speaker 2: to such and such country.
Speaker 1: By the time these folks figure it out, it might
Speaker 1: be too late.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and we don't know what it is, you know,
Speaker 8: folks all of a sudden, you know, they're gonna start
Speaker 8: becoming AI experts.
Speaker 3: You know, like we talked about the other day.
Speaker 8: Some people say that's the way the words are pronouncing
Speaker 8: certain words or me, yeah, the first one we played
Speaker 8: the rapid pace and you know, so people don't know,
Speaker 8: they don't know what it is. But I do want
Speaker 8: to do y'all think the first racist rant, you think
Speaker 8: that was true or not?
Speaker 1: AI?
Speaker 3: What's your boat?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. And then honestly, that's that's another thing.
Speaker 2: That's gonna gonna cause a lot of problems, just people speculating.
Speaker 6: I really don't know. I don't know if it's true
Speaker 6: or not. I don't know, I don't know if it's
Speaker 6: sure or not. But like when you hear things like
Speaker 6: him doing that with thirty forty five second rant and
Speaker 6: he's talking to somebody and you don't hear or yeah
Speaker 6: or something, you don't.
Speaker 1: Hear nobody else's voice, you just never know, Like you
Speaker 1: just never know.
Speaker 2: That's not true though, because there's plenty of range with
Speaker 2: somebody just going off, you don't hear nobody else.
Speaker 6: Boys, But if you're talking to somebody and then I
Speaker 6: can say uh huh or respond.
Speaker 1: Not if I'm ratting. If I'm ratting, you listen, all right? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: like you said, there's gonna be no way of actually telling.
Speaker 6: And you can't even put it into software because the
Speaker 6: software can't tell you. And that is the Breakfast Club
Speaker 6: front page News. Now what are we talking next hour?
Speaker 3: Yeah, if some good news.
Speaker 8: If you've worked in the public sector, you have student dad,
Speaker 8: the Biden administration has some good news that may apply
Speaker 8: to you.
Speaker 3: So tap in and find out what it is.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Want to do.
Speaker 4: Is if your time to get it off your chest,

Speaker 4: oh five one. We want to hear from you on
Speaker 4: the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 7: That's it.
Speaker 13: I love you guys.
Speaker 7: Keep doing Yes.
Speaker 1: Hello, Who's this is DJ lird Jill from Newburg, New York.
Speaker 1: What's up, brother? Get it off your chest?
Speaker 7: I wanted to talk about that AI software stuff with
Speaker 7: the rents. My wife, she used to go to school
Speaker 7: and when she used to write her papers, they used
Speaker 7: to put her paper into a software to contect that
Speaker 7: if it's AI or not.
Speaker 14: That first rent.
Speaker 15: I believe that.
Speaker 7: I believe the first rent was was real. I think
Speaker 7: the biting D was.
Speaker 1: Kind of fake.
Speaker 6: Well, the only problem with that is is, you know,
Speaker 6: I got I got kids in college. The thing with
Speaker 6: that is my daughter wrote a paper when she was
Speaker 6: in high school before AI really exists it and she
Speaker 6: put that paper into the AI generated software to see
Speaker 6: if it was, you know, if it was created by
Speaker 6: chat GPT, and it said that it was eighty eight
Speaker 6: percent a chance that it was, which is it can't
Speaker 6: be because it wasn't even created back then, you see
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So you still got to be careful
Speaker 6: with some of that as well, because it just picks
Speaker 6: up certain words and certain slangs, so you really don't know,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 2: And but think about this, right right, Think about how
Speaker 2: much time we just spent debating whether or not something
Speaker 2: is real are fake?
Speaker 1: Correct?
Speaker 2: Who got time to do that all twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: not just twenty twenty four for the rest of our
Speaker 2: existence here on this planet? Like like like like what
Speaker 2: if a world leader, what if we see something on
Speaker 2: social media and a world leader saying he just sent
Speaker 2: off a nuclear bomb or you just see somebody correct,
Speaker 2: I'm about to send a nuclear bomb, or I'm about
Speaker 2: to go to war. By the time folks realize it's fake,
Speaker 2: it might be too late.
Speaker 1: That's that's true.
Speaker 7: It might be right right, Charlie made Thank you for

Speaker 10: Say you.
Speaker 1: Take us on bluetooth. You got some bluetooth take it off, yes, sir, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we get you all right? Cool?
Speaker 12: Yeah yo, So yeah, I believe that that Excuse me,
Speaker 12: I've believe that that Ai. Uh that that that that principle,
Speaker 12: that principle that got caught saying that all uh he
Speaker 12: was he was saying just all that racist stuff. It
Speaker 12: just sounds old.
Speaker 1: You think that's Ai? What you think that's Ai?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's Ai. If you listen closely, Joe, listen, listen,
Speaker 12: there is like a monotone to it, and he's just
Speaker 12: over blatantly. I know people is racist like that, but
Speaker 12: he's like an over blatant It's like an over blatant
Speaker 12: kind of racism. What I'm saying that, And then he
Speaker 12: started talking about the Jew.
Speaker 19: The way he was talking about the.
Speaker 12: Jew, It's just it just sounds fake.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I don't know.
Speaker 7: The reason why I'm only reason.
Speaker 12: Why I'm saying that is because I'm actually one of
Speaker 12: those people that age watch him, like like how Charlotte said,
Speaker 12: like I am, I am double looking and double h
Speaker 12: listening to all that kind of things because it's pretty
Speaker 12: popular right.
Speaker 2: Now, man, y'all gonna make me replay my Donkey of
Speaker 2: the Day about AI from last year this morning.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2: Y'all really gonna make me replay it because I don't like, like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if.
Speaker 1: That young man who just called was right. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that young man was wrong.
Speaker 2: I just know that we're gonna spend a lot of
Speaker 2: time doing this all through twenty twenty four, and that's
Speaker 2: gonna be very, very scary because, like I said in
Speaker 2: that Donkey of the Day, imagine you're riding into work
Speaker 2: and somebody plays something to you from one of your
Speaker 2: co hosts, and your co host talking crazy about you.
Speaker 2: You about to see this person in four or five
Speaker 2: minutes by the time you walk in the building and
Speaker 2: confront this person, and this person trying to tell you
Speaker 2: it wasn't you now what right? I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 2: your wife, our girlfriend on the phone, you hear him
Speaker 2: talking about how they just slept with your brother a
Speaker 2: bed friend. You don't know, Like I'm telling you, this
Speaker 2: thing is gonna cause so much problems.
Speaker 6: Man, And there's no way to find out if it's
Speaker 6: true or not. That's the scary thing, man.
Speaker 1: None I'm telling you it's gonna be terrible.
Speaker 6: Get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five eighty five,
Speaker 6: one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit
Speaker 6: us up.
Speaker 1: Now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Morning everybody.
Speaker 6: It's stevej NV Charlamagne to God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Let's get to the rooms.
Speaker 1: Let's talk pop star Madonna through Mahasset gossip. This is
Speaker 1: the rumor report.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess we on the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 3: is where the tea spills.
Speaker 6: Right right now, Madonna and Live Nation are being sued
Speaker 6: because she was late to her show. Now, two people
Speaker 6: listening on the people's name is Michael and Jonathan. They
Speaker 6: paid two hundred and ninety two dollars for a ticket
Speaker 6: and one hundred and fifty five dollars for a ticket,
Speaker 6: and they said that she was late and because she
Speaker 6: was late, it was hard for them to get a
Speaker 6: ride home.
Speaker 1: They had work the next day. Let's listen to the report.
Speaker 20: Two men actually bought tickets for her December thirteenth Celebration
Speaker 20: tour at Barkley Center. Will fans cherished those tickets that
Speaker 20: the show would start at a thirty PM, but it
Speaker 20: was no holiday. Madonna didn't take the stage until Borderline
Speaker 20: eleven pm. Now expressing themselves saying there was limited ride
Speaker 20: sharing available because the concert didn't end until after one am,
Speaker 20: they were forced to pay for private transportation, and like
Speaker 20: a prayer, the lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages. Does this
Speaker 20: argument on behalf of these two men I have any
Speaker 20: legal standing here.
Speaker 5: What they're alleging, essentially is that was a false and
Speaker 5: deceptive trade act.
Speaker 21: They were sold a concert that had they known it was.
Speaker 3: Going to be two hours late, they may not have
Speaker 3: still bought the ticket.
Speaker 5: And under New York law, this is considered a deceptive
Speaker 5: trade practice if they relied on the messaging, and that
Speaker 5: it can be shown that they were damaged by relying
Speaker 5: on it and it did not happen.
Speaker 2: Well, you just gave anybody who's ever been to a
Speaker 2: Lauren Hill concert or bright idea that's right, ready or not?
Speaker 2: Lawsuits come. But here's the difference. Folks know Lauren Hill
Speaker 2: gonna be late, So that's not deceptive at all. Okay,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. When you buy a ticket,
Speaker 2: you look for specific We even knowing Lauryn Hill going
Speaker 2: to be late that he shows all for years. If
Speaker 2: you buy these tickets, if it's say seven, you already
Speaker 2: know it ain't gonna have start till ten thirty.
Speaker 6: I thought, on the ticket, when you purchased a ticket
Speaker 6: from these sites, I thought, it says if the person
Speaker 6: is laid off, there's a postponement or a cancelation that
Speaker 6: you can't sue. I thought, But I do think it's
Speaker 6: fed up. If you buy a ticket and the show's
Speaker 6: supposed to start at eight thirty, you get a babysitter,
Speaker 6: you know you have worked the next morning, and then
Speaker 6: it doesn't start to three four hours later.
Speaker 2: It feels like it's an easy lawsuit that'll get dismissed
Speaker 2: simply because we don't know why Madonna was late, right,
Speaker 2: We don't know what Madonna could have been potentially going through.
Speaker 1: You know, it could have been a family emerging. But
Speaker 1: they say they're sick. We don't know what it's sound issue.
Speaker 1: They said they believe it was sound is show. I
Speaker 1: don't go see.
Speaker 6: I don't have nothing to do with that, right, But
Speaker 6: somebody's gonna get suit because it's supposed to be done
Speaker 6: before him.
Speaker 1: This is what was supposed to be prepared.
Speaker 2: Sue Live Nation. That's what they got insurance for. But
Speaker 2: I still don't. I don't, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's been plenty of things that you know, plenty of
Speaker 2: concerts or events that we've been to that didn't start
Speaker 2: on time. And what constitute on time? What if it
Speaker 2: was twenty minutes late? What if it was an hour late,
Speaker 2: what if it was two hours late? Like, you know,
Speaker 2: we don't know what constitutess being late. But if it's
Speaker 2: just twenty minutes late, and I sue for that, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's a bad precedent.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 1: Also, we've got to tell you, no, president ain't gonna
Speaker 1: be set. They ain't about to set that.
Speaker 6: We'll see though, all right now, Taraji p Henson, she
Speaker 6: talks about the color purple, and it's kind of upset
Speaker 6: that people are talking more about what she said, her
Speaker 6: comments about being underpaid than the actual movie.
Speaker 22: And I heard on the street, Taraji, you have the
Speaker 22: audacity to just say you're thinking about getting stopping acting.
Speaker 3: We said, stop talking, Are you thinking about it?
Speaker 23: I'm just tired of working so hard, being gracious at
Speaker 23: what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost
Speaker 23: I'm tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing.
Speaker 21: Over and over.
Speaker 23: I hear people go, you work a lot, will have
Speaker 23: to the math ain't mathing.
Speaker 21: And when you start working.
Speaker 23: A lot, you know you have a team. We don't
Speaker 23: do this alone. The fact that we're up as a whole,
Speaker 23: entire team behind us. They have to get paid. It
Speaker 23: seems every time I do something and I break another
Speaker 23: glass ceiling when it's time to renegotiate, I'm at the
Speaker 23: bottom again, like I never did what I just did,
Speaker 23: and I'm just tired.
Speaker 21: I'm tired.
Speaker 8: And if I can't fight for them coming up behind me,
Speaker 8: and then you're not doing I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well lad, of course.
Speaker 6: But people are have been talking about the last week
Speaker 6: or so, last couple of weeks actually, and not necessarily
Speaker 6: talking about the film The Color Purple.
Speaker 2: That is interesting that she feels like that, because I
Speaker 2: have heard people say they weren't going to see The
Speaker 2: Color Purple because those folks didn't pay Taraji.
Speaker 1: I don't know who those folks are, but they say.
Speaker 2: Those folks didn't pay to Roji, and I remember thinking
Speaker 2: to myself, but that kind of defeats the purpose, because
Speaker 2: you want the movie to be successful so you can
Speaker 2: continue to see movies with these you know, diverse casts,
Speaker 2: you know these black casts, you know, these women led casts,
Speaker 2: because if they don't do well at the box office,
Speaker 2: you won't see them.
Speaker 1: That's right in Thetis and that's exactly what she said.
Speaker 6: I hope they can focus back into this film because
Speaker 6: right now, to me, it feels like what I said
Speaker 6: is now becoming louder than this beautiful film.
Speaker 1: Why does she get back in?
Speaker 2: Because she get back and then you know, if you
Speaker 2: want to support the rojer, you definitely go see the film.
Speaker 6: Correct, I don't know now. Also, Kick Cutty talks about
Speaker 6: his friendship with Kanye. Allegedly, kik Cutty and Kanye stopped
Speaker 6: speaking because kick Cutty had a cool friendship with Pete Davison,
Speaker 6: one of his closest friends, and me and Pete. Kanye
Speaker 6: didn't like it because at the time Kanye Kim Kardashian
Speaker 6: was dating p Davis.
Speaker 1: And so Kit Cutty came back. He is out here
Speaker 1: slipping with a white boy with a penis, and you
Speaker 1: won't help me. You want to explain. Oh no, I've
Speaker 1: told that story before. That's what Kanye said. To me once.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 1: Kid Cutty says that Kanye called him and apologized.
Speaker 24: People don't even know that that Kanye paid for the
Speaker 24: first Day and Night video when I didn't have a deal.
Speaker 24: This was like, he needs a video, so I'm gonna
Speaker 24: pay for it.
Speaker 1: Didn't know me was sure just doing a favor.
Speaker 24: It's like I had this moment to kind of think
Speaker 24: about the past and the journey that I've had with
Speaker 24: this person. There is a there is a good man
Speaker 24: there because I've seen it. You don't give up on people,
Speaker 24: you know, you know we grow.
Speaker 1: I pray for him.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 24: The reason why we became cool again is because he
Speaker 24: apologized to me.
Speaker 1: And it was sincere.
Speaker 24: I was said, Wow, Kanye does not apologize to anybody,
Speaker 24: sorry to anyone. That's my brother, man, I know, I
Speaker 24: know he loves me, and there's just nothing like Kanye
Speaker 24: and Cutty.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they were able to work it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean what Cuddy said, It's true, like if
Speaker 2: I love you, I'm gonna always love you, but I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna let my love for you allow you to
Speaker 2: bring me down. Correct and also too, man, just because
Speaker 2: somebody does good things for you doesn't mean they are
Speaker 2: good for you.
Speaker 1: I don't like when people do that.
Speaker 2: Just because a person is done, you know, some good
Speaker 2: things for you doesn't give them the right to constantly
Speaker 2: do you dirty and.
Speaker 1: Talk to you any old kind of way.
Speaker 2: Fact, And sometimes you have to put distance between you
Speaker 2: and a person and tell they get it together. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'm glad that you know Kanye apologized to Cutty.
Speaker 2: But always remember people, the best apology is always changed behavior.
Speaker 1: That's right, period, and you know what it is.
Speaker 6: You always ask that question, is there expiration date to
Speaker 6: when something somebody does something for you? Because if somebody
Speaker 6: does something for you, a lot of times people will
Speaker 6: hold that over your head for long periods.
Speaker 1: Of time and you can tell it wasn't from the heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine, you know, you see that a lot of
Speaker 2: times in you know, domestic violence situations. Right, you see
Speaker 2: a woman getting beat on, but you know the person
Speaker 2: that they're with provides for them, right right, like provides
Speaker 2: for them, you know, money, lavish lifestyle, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: Just because they provide that lavish lifestyle for you don't
Speaker 2: mean nothing that's the right put on you.
Speaker 1: So you know, like I always say, the best apology
Speaker 1: has changed behavior.
Speaker 2: And you know, we talked yesterday about Kanye was having
Speaker 2: a forty minute apology supposedly coming out allegedly. Well, I
Speaker 2: hope that, you know, he just doesn't apologize to the
Speaker 2: Jewish community. I hope he apologizes to the family of
Speaker 2: George Floyd. I hope he apologizes for trolling black people
Speaker 2: with the White Lives Matter t shirts. I hope he
Speaker 2: apologizes for insulting our ancestors, like Harriet tell me, But
Speaker 2: what's gonna be interesting to see about Kanye? If you
Speaker 2: apologize for all these things, you know, will you be
Speaker 2: able to articulate.
Speaker 1: What made you apologize? Like what changed your mind?
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's gonna be apologizing for yet,
Speaker 2: but whatever it is, if it is some you know,
Speaker 2: for some of the rhetoric he said, what made him
Speaker 2: change his mind? Because personally, I believe he's just doing
Speaker 2: this because he's got an album coming out and he's
Speaker 2: trying to sell those design and panty hosts and those
Speaker 2: you know, uh, those those design of stockings. Correct, But
Speaker 2: once again, the best apology has changed behavior.
Speaker 6: You're right, Yeah, you're right, because because you want to
Speaker 6: see why you change, Like if you feel differently or
Speaker 6: what you said? Why do you feel the change your mind?
Speaker 6: What conversations did you have? Or is it just because
Speaker 6: I want to sell those stockings sexy man stockings. Stockings
Speaker 6: gonna look crazy in the summer time.
Speaker 2: If I see y'all dudes out here with gene shorts
Speaker 2: and then black yeezy stockings, that's gonna be insane.
Speaker 1: I'm getting you a pair for your birthday. I promise you.
Speaker 2: I can see you guys out here right now with
Speaker 2: some geen shorts on and some blacks and black easy stockings,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be upset because men's gonna be walking
Speaker 2: up behind you, pinching you on the butt.
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna wonder why the bigger your feet?
Speaker 1: The bit that's stupid, the stupid it's gonna look, imagin.
Speaker 2: They come right through your thigh. Oh my God's thirteen
Speaker 2: with it. That's gonnak crazy. Y'all gonna look stank. Y'all
Speaker 2: gonna be out here the easy stockings.
Speaker 1: You hear me? All right?
Speaker 6: Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back.
Speaker 6: We got front page news and they're gonna smell when
Speaker 6: you take them. Shut up, Dad, is the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Board it Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the
Speaker 6: same morning. Everybody is tj NV Charlemagne the God we
Speaker 6: are to breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's getting some front page news with up tears.
Speaker 3: What's going on? Happy Friday? DJMB Charlemagne to God.
Speaker 6: He said, now this week and we got the playoff
Speaker 6: in sports, of course NFL, the texass take on the Ravens,
Speaker 6: the Packets take on the forty nine. It's the Chiefs
Speaker 6: take on the Bills, and the Lines take on the Buccaneers.
Speaker 6: Now let's start with the White House. They canceling five
Speaker 6: billion in student debt.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this story broke this morning at about five am.
Speaker 8: So good news for some folks that they're getting their
Speaker 8: debt canceled and a new wave of student loan forgiveness.
Speaker 8: Of Biden administration is canceling five billion in debt for
Speaker 8: about seventy four thousand people, many of whom have worked
Speaker 8: in the public sector jobs for more than a decade,
Speaker 8: and President Biden said that forty four thousand of Friday's
Speaker 8: approved loans were having their education debt white clean after
Speaker 8: ten years of public service jobs. So those include teachers, nurses,
Speaker 8: and firefighters. So it is limited, you know, to public
Speaker 8: sector jobs. But he said in the statement that nearly
Speaker 8: thirty thousand have towards their repayment for the last twenty
Speaker 8: years but never got any relief that they earned through
Speaker 8: the income driven repayment plans. Now, this is the latest
Speaker 8: round of loan forgiveness after the Supreme Court shut down
Speaker 8: struck down the White House a student loan debt plan
Speaker 8: last year. Since the rule in the White House has
Speaker 8: launched a series of smaller relief programs, and in the
Speaker 8: statement released today by Biden, he said, in the wake
Speaker 8: of the Supreme Court decision, we are continuing to pursue
Speaker 8: an alternative path to deliver student debt relief to as
Speaker 8: many borrows as possible. So this new cancelation brings the
Speaker 8: total people who have had debt counseled under the Biden
Speaker 8: administration three point seven million.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of the things I cite as
Speaker 2: one of Biden's accomplishments, you know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 2: the fact that he has canceled a lot of student
Speaker 2: debt student debt loan, But they need to also know
Speaker 2: how to message that the people and let people know
Speaker 2: that this is something that they've done. And they also
Speaker 2: got to remember that there are a lot of people
Speaker 2: who didn't go to college, who didn't have student loan debt.
Speaker 2: So when you say this as an accomplishment, it definitely is.
Speaker 2: But if I did go to school and I don't
Speaker 2: have anything, you know, loan debt.
Speaker 8: I don't care, right, And it's also important, you know,
Speaker 8: this is where people just get stuff confused. It's important
Speaker 8: that to say this is an accomplishment and also still
Speaker 8: push for more.
Speaker 3: It's okay.
Speaker 8: You know people think it has to be one thing
Speaker 8: or another. Oh, you're not talking about the accomplishment. No,
Speaker 8: we're talking about the accomplishment.
Speaker 3: But the whole thing.
Speaker 8: The reason why this happened is from what people advocating,
Speaker 8: people pushing what I call push the line politics until
Speaker 8: something happens. So it is okay for us to say, hey,
Speaker 8: there's still other folks that need their debt canceled.
Speaker 3: We still want more.
Speaker 8: And to your point, what about the people that didn't
Speaker 8: go to college. So all of those things need to
Speaker 8: be People need to understand more than one thing can
Speaker 8: be done at one time, and again acknowledging them, I
Speaker 8: just want to give some additional information they did take
Speaker 8: out a clear someome debt for folks who made less
Speaker 8: than twelve thousand dollars, so that was good. They're also
Speaker 8: in December they approved four point eight billion in student
Speaker 8: on debt cancelation for about eighty thousand borrows. So absolutely
Speaker 8: this is an accomplishment, but there are still folks like
Speaker 8: me that, oh, well, into the almost six figures a
Speaker 8: student loan debt, that still half the debt. Now I'm
Speaker 8: not complaining, I'm making the payments no problem, but at
Speaker 8: the end of the day, there's still a lot of
Speaker 8: folks who are left out of this. And you're right, Charlamade,
Speaker 8: the messaging needs to be clear. But also folks stop
Speaker 8: saying that nobody's wanting to you know, we shouldn't ask
Speaker 8: for more just because we got a little.
Speaker 3: That's the whole point of politics, to continue to keep asking.
Speaker 6: Now it has to be I think they have to
Speaker 6: create some type of method of doing it right, because,
Speaker 6: like you said, you owe six figures in school loans
Speaker 6: and it didn't affect you any which way. So for
Speaker 6: this it's great for people, but you're like, then what
Speaker 6: happened to me? And I'm sure there's a lot of
Speaker 6: people out there that owe a lot of money that's
Speaker 6: barely surviving because they got to pay for any may
Speaker 6: every month. So they got to figure out a method
Speaker 6: to how they're doing it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: where everybody can be happy. But like Charlotmage said, he
Speaker 6: didn't go to college, so he didn't have student loans,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So it's a way of
Speaker 6: thinking about it. I know how it affected me when
Speaker 6: I first graduated and I had to pay my loans.
Speaker 6: And then when I got married. You know, the loans
Speaker 6: come together. You got to pay yours and your wives
Speaker 6: or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: So yeah, my wife the debt.
Speaker 2: By the grace of God, I've been in a position
Speaker 2: to you know, we put ourselves in positions to be
Speaker 2: able to, you know, take care of that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major accomplishment for people who
Speaker 2: it's as much as as the people who are impacted
Speaker 2: by this are.
Speaker 1: So I understand, correct, And and you said something to
Speaker 1: us that's very true.
Speaker 2: We insult the intelligence of black people all the time
Speaker 2: when we believe that we can't critique disadministration, when we
Speaker 2: believe that we can't critique Democrats and also vote our
Speaker 2: best interests, like like why why why they think we
Speaker 2: can't walk in through gum at the same time I
Speaker 2: see everybody else do it. But when it comes to us,
Speaker 2: we get real plantation politics. When it comes to Democrats,
Speaker 2: don't you say nothing, but Master Master he good to us.
Speaker 2: Don't you critique Master Biden? Master Biden make sure we
Speaker 2: get invites to the Christmas party? Don't you he let
Speaker 2: us take pictures by the tree with him and with
Speaker 2: him and Master Jail. Don't you talk about Master Biden?
Speaker 2: But don't say that, becau We're gonna AI generate that
Speaker 2: and say that was a hot MinC nothing, that's charlamagine.
Speaker 6: But the problem with that is is that's why people
Speaker 6: never really discuss politics, because they can't have a conversation
Speaker 6: without somebody saying what you just said, or they can't
Speaker 6: have a real conversation and ask the questions because it
Speaker 6: seems like you're going to get somebody. But no, you
Speaker 6: should be able to have you should be able to
Speaker 6: ask those questions. Right, these politicians supposed to be working
Speaker 6: for us, And if we can't ask those questions, what's
Speaker 6: the point of even having these discussions?
Speaker 1: Hey, I give credit, I give credit when credit is due.
Speaker 2: Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, if you do something
Speaker 2: that I see directly impacting people, if you do something
Speaker 2: that I like, I'm gonna give you credit. If you're
Speaker 2: a Democrat or Republican and you are doing something that
Speaker 2: I think is detrimental, if you're doing something that I
Speaker 2: don't like, I'm gonna give you credit for that too.
Speaker 1: It's really that simple.
Speaker 8: What I One thing that bothers me about this conversation
Speaker 8: is the class war that's happening, you know, and I
Speaker 8: don't want to say what you know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: It's like the people among you know, the comments or
Speaker 8: people saying, well, you know, I got my degree.
Speaker 3: It worked for me, Sorry, didn't work for you.
Speaker 1: Say those elitis boot leader, they're to say.
Speaker 3: It the elitist. The elitist.
Speaker 8: I will say, say, well, you should have took yourself
Speaker 8: and you should have took your as to college and
Speaker 8: it helps me, and blah blah blah blah. And then
Speaker 8: you have other folks on the other side who are saying, well,
Speaker 8: college is a scam, you should have never went.
Speaker 3: Look at the debt.
Speaker 8: And then it becomes this thing where now where it's
Speaker 8: trying to say who is better than who, and who's
Speaker 8: not better than who and who, And the bottom line
Speaker 8: is I'm saying, with two multiple degrees, going with my
Speaker 8: third degree, I have debt. And if I had to
Speaker 8: if I want on income deferment forever, you know, which
Speaker 8: allows me to have a lower payment or not have
Speaker 8: a payment at all, I would not have.
Speaker 3: Been able to afford this. So I would appreciate if
Speaker 3: I got student debt.
Speaker 8: But at the same time, I'm not forgetting about those
Speaker 8: who still need other programs and other things to bring
Speaker 8: them alost.
Speaker 3: So I don't like the class wards Charlemagne. I really don't.
Speaker 8: And it's unfortunate because it's it really is separating the
Speaker 8: elite versus you know, folks who decided not to go
Speaker 8: to college.
Speaker 3: And that's that's said.
Speaker 2: I love when they say I'm not qualified to speak
Speaker 2: on politics. I pay millions of dollars you know, in
Speaker 2: taxis every year, so I'm overqualified. And as the good
Speaker 2: system need to turn and says, you know, you don't
Speaker 2: have to do politics for politics going to do you?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I'm all for it.
Speaker 2: And guess what a lot of Times man, they are
Speaker 2: misinformed on how people feel. All of these academics and
Speaker 2: political pundits and political experts, they haven't talked to an
Speaker 2: everyday working class person and forever, and if you talk
Speaker 2: to everyday working class people, then you'll know what every
Speaker 2: day working class people are actually concerned about. They're so
Speaker 2: disconnected from the people because they're too They're too connected
Speaker 2: to the party. You're too connected to the administration. You're
Speaker 2: too connected to worrying about access to the Christmas party.
Speaker 2: So you can take a pictures with massive body, massive
Speaker 2: jail and just standing there with your tea just to
Speaker 2: grinning and skin. I feegre But I ain't mad at
Speaker 2: you because that food might be good there. I don't
Speaker 2: know how the biscus teeth at that Christmas party because
Speaker 2: I don't go when I get invited. All right, when
Speaker 2: you went to Thestal party, what they told you about me?
Speaker 6: When you went to the Christmas party, Miss Charlamne is
Speaker 6: not going, he said, he don't I want to be
Speaker 6: in there.
Speaker 1: What did they say?
Speaker 6: But they just say't my type of crisis, they said,
Speaker 6: Charlamage say for Crawd. See the thing with the Christmas
Speaker 6: party right in Charlamagne is right. There's a long line
Speaker 6: of people waiting to take pictures.
Speaker 2: I mean the line of math by right, the architect
Speaker 2: of the eighty six mandatory minimum and eighty eight crack
Speaker 2: logs in the ninety four crime Bill. I'll just up
Speaker 2: there skinning the granted to take a picture.
Speaker 1: What you met. And the sad thing about the Christmas
Speaker 1: party is is I mean me and my wife got invited.
Speaker 1: We went. This was actually my first time in the
Speaker 1: White House. Went on line. No, this was actually my
Speaker 1: first time in the White House.
Speaker 6: So it's you know, you want to see it because
Speaker 6: I've never seen it before, but then you realize when
Speaker 6: you get there, it's it's not your typical White House dinner.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: I thought this was the White House dinner where you
Speaker 6: see Whole, you see Steve Harvey, you see Elon Musk.
Speaker 6: That's what I thought I was invited to.
Speaker 1: I wasn't.
Speaker 6: And it wasn't even the President wasn't even walking around.
Speaker 6: It wasn't that type of thing. They had him in
Speaker 6: the room where you know, he was standing there.
Speaker 1: Everybody getting a long line. An it was a long time.
Speaker 8: And for the record, I've I've been around several several
Speaker 8: policies have been at the White House, and I'm like Charlelamane,
Speaker 8: I refuse to take a picture.
Speaker 3: I mean one time they staid, I'm getting a picture.
Speaker 16: I know.
Speaker 8: I'm cool because I don't want no confusion about you know,
Speaker 8: me being able to say anything about the administration.
Speaker 3: But it's not about a damn picture. It's not about
Speaker 3: a photo op.
Speaker 2: It a lot and that's why the front line of
Speaker 2: defense for Democrats a lot of time is black media
Speaker 2: personalities because these folks just simply want access.
Speaker 1: They do not want to lose their access and and and.
Speaker 3: Access to what though, Like what are they getting access to?
Speaker 2: Party in that picture of Mathive Biden? You that picture
Speaker 2: with Mathew Biden. Okay, all right, that's front page news.

Speaker 16: because the more it wears, the more it looks Matt
Speaker 16: like real locks.
Speaker 21: So it was a costume.
Speaker 1: I did not know that it was, as I thought
Speaker 1: that was your real head a whole time.
Speaker 2: No, it was it.
Speaker 16: It was a hairstyle that i'd gotten right before I
Speaker 16: had gotten the audition, and I came in with that
Speaker 16: look and it just worked for the character and it
Speaker 16: became sort of synonymous with it. And then I've rocked
Speaker 16: with her for now thirty years and she's innovated on it.
Speaker 16: These are the nray lots.
Speaker 1: The executives fight you then like you can't you can't
Speaker 1: wait dreadlocks on TV.
Speaker 16: Well, you know they didn't fight me because they had
Speaker 16: already fought the Bowser about the entire character. They had
Speaker 16: asked her to get rid of it. They didn't want Max,
Speaker 16: and she said no, if you get rid of Max,
Speaker 16: you get rid of me, because I'm identify most with
Speaker 16: her because I wanted to be a lawyer. She went
Speaker 16: to Stanford, so she said, okay, I'll put her across
Speaker 16: the street.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Why didn't they want the cat? They felt like the
Speaker 2: cat's too big already or too strong?
Speaker 21: Wow, too black? Too strong, wow, too strong. They said,
Speaker 21: the character's too strong. Rid of it?
Speaker 16: She said no, why am I doing the show then?
Speaker 16: And so that was a compromise. So that's why you
Speaker 16: always saw her coming across the street. She was supposed
Speaker 16: to live in the apartment with the girls.
Speaker 1: But wow, the Holly would have gone off for a
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 21: Long time. Somebody needs to write a book. Oh they
Speaker 21: have no.
Speaker 6: I thought about you the other day when Taraji was
Speaker 6: talking about speaking about against work conditions and getting paid
Speaker 6: your worth. Yeah, and when you were here, I'm not
Speaker 6: for shows to the first time, a second time, a
Speaker 6: third time. You were comparing other shows and saying that
Speaker 6: these other shows are getting so much more money, but
Speaker 6: the ratings were pretty similar.
Speaker 1: So when you've seen that, what was your.
Speaker 16: Thought, Well, I hate to think about it because my
Speaker 16: systemic paradigm a template that's placed upon us, and it
Speaker 16: acts upon you whether you know it or not. People
Speaker 16: try to equate it with the contracts that athletes get,
Speaker 16: and that's the wrong thing to compare it to. People
Speaker 16: don't understand how it works, so they make all these
Speaker 16: assumptions you negotiated that you shouldn't have taken, that there's
Speaker 16: a floor and a ceiling already. And it doesn't exist
Speaker 16: based on merit or say performance performance. It's based on
Speaker 16: anything they could come with that day. But it's based
Speaker 16: on mostly your skin color, your gender, and things like that.
Speaker 16: And it doesn't matter often what you've done and how
Speaker 16: much you've made, how much you've contributed to the culture,
Speaker 16: the overall American.
Speaker 21: Culture, none of that.
Speaker 16: It's random, And so it hurts to go and you
Speaker 16: do all that work, and then each time you go
Speaker 16: to the table, it's like starting at the base again.
Speaker 21: I've gone through that my whole life.
Speaker 16: And did people say, well, it's because you haven't been
Speaker 16: successful in film in this way and that and that way?
Speaker 21: I said, is it really? Because I see people who
Speaker 21: have none.
Speaker 16: Of my success, none of my experience and or talent,
Speaker 16: and they get more coming in the door.
Speaker 21: So what is that? They didn't even need to prove themselves.
Speaker 16: Often they're getting offered these roles and we're still auditioning
Speaker 16: for it, and they have tons of tape on us.
Speaker 16: So it's true, and she's not the only one to
Speaker 16: speak about it. She won't be the last, and there
Speaker 16: needs to be something done. But unless you get it
Speaker 16: at the root, meaning in distribution and creating a whole
Speaker 16: different system, then we're always working underneath that.
Speaker 6: You said, you said negotiate, right, So the first thing
Speaker 6: that mad people say is is something that you said
Speaker 6: you have to negotiate what it is? But the problem
Speaker 6: negotiating if they're not negotiating anything close. Do you not
Speaker 6: take a job, You're not take an opportunity, They.
Speaker 21: Can just go get someone else. If you don't take
Speaker 21: what they're offering next?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 2: Because I'm sitting trying to think of who would be
Speaker 2: the black woman equivalent to a Denzel or a Will Like,
Speaker 2: who's the person that has done three or four blockbusters
Speaker 2: that have made profit for studio?
Speaker 16: I don't know, Well, maybe halle Berry at one point there.
Speaker 16: You might say that Viola is in that space now
Speaker 16: because she's done the Help and she's also done woman King.
Speaker 16: I don't know if those numbers meet the standard, but
Speaker 16: her life does. And if you just say okay when
Speaker 16: she puts it, she talked about it. She said, you know,
Speaker 16: Merle Street did this, I've done that. If you just
Speaker 16: sort of equated with Merrill the great MARYL. Street, no
Speaker 16: one wants to take anything away from her. She should
Speaker 16: be on par and I doubt she is. She's saying
Speaker 16: she's making a tenth of what her white female counterparts
Speaker 16: are making. Jessica Chastained famously linked her salary to Octavius
Speaker 16: Spencer so she could get her first payday. Wow, why
Speaker 16: is that after she's gotten her oscar? That's great, thank you.
Speaker 16: That's being not only an ally but an abolition issure.
Speaker 16: You're linking your you know, your star power to someone else,
Speaker 16: make sure that they get something. But that's unacceptable.
Speaker 2: I saw, I think I read American Fiction has made
Speaker 2: almost six million dollars at the box office with a
Speaker 2: budget of like almost two.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, it's the.
Speaker 21: Budget was more. I think it was over five.
Speaker 1: It was over five, yes, okay, but it's very critically acclaim.
Speaker 2: But then I see, like Booker Clarents had a budget
Speaker 2: of like forty million, but they've only made three million
Speaker 2: at the box office. Color Purple had a budget of
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty. They made close to sixty. So
Speaker 2: what do you feel the route the goal is when
Speaker 2: you're making black cinema.
Speaker 21: Well, first of all, we shouldn't call it black cinema.
Speaker 21: We should call it cinema.
Speaker 16: They've done that to television when they started saying that
Speaker 16: we were on a black show, Suddenly those marketing dollars
Speaker 16: went down. Here when you're on the Jeffersons, when you're
Speaker 16: on even Sanford and Son or What's Happening. Those were
Speaker 16: shows on NBC and ABC. They were sandwiched right between
Speaker 16: Mash and other shows. And I think that that was
Speaker 16: a paradigm ship that actually armed us. We're always using
Speaker 16: their pressor's language to define us and black music, that
Speaker 16: all this music is ours, but it starts to categorize
Speaker 16: us and put you know, it's redlining if you can't
Speaker 16: get past that. And they already say it's a black show.
Speaker 16: They don't say it's a Chinese show. I don't see
Speaker 16: nobody saying it's black basketball or black football.
Speaker 21: Show me white football. Then no, that's football soccer, right, same, well.
Speaker 1: White football soccer.
Speaker 18: There you go.
Speaker 16: Don't tell that to all those you know, there was
Speaker 16: countries of colors. So well, but that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 16: And that goes down to the myth that we don't
Speaker 16: translate well overseas. But they don't say that about the music.
Speaker 16: They would expect you, on some sneakers to link that
Speaker 16: with a black player because they're seen as the best,
Speaker 16: but no, we won't buy your stories. So then they
Speaker 16: did in twelve years slave they in other countries. They
Speaker 16: put Brad Pitt right center in big and minimize the
Speaker 16: lead character. And Brad Pitt was fear is when he
Speaker 16: saw it and he said, absolutely not, You're not going
Speaker 16: to do that. But they've been doing that for decades
Speaker 16: and so that's a problem. We shouldn't call it black cinema.
Speaker 16: We should call it cinema. And we should also know
Speaker 16: that those marketing dollars and the promotion is not the same.
Speaker 16: And when we are living single, unfortunately, we were mostly
Speaker 16: sent to cities of color, DC, Atlanta, and we said, look,
Speaker 16: can we go to Prioria, can we go to We
Speaker 16: have fans all over. But they didn't want to spend
Speaker 16: the money. So then therefore they're limiting their own bottom line.
Speaker 16: Why are they doing that? Because was the Cosby Show
Speaker 16: a black show or was it a television show? Just
Speaker 16: after that they started to create the type of language
Speaker 16: and very distinctive around television shows. They had already done
Speaker 16: it with me, excuse me, with music, but around television shows.
Speaker 21: And we paid the price.
Speaker 16: And unless we get in there and look at the
Speaker 16: system and diagnose the real problem, because it is systemic,
Speaker 16: and it starts at representation and all those things that
Speaker 16: know those number and yet continue to offer their clients
Speaker 16: as less than valuable.
Speaker 21: And we're never get past them.
Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Erica Alexander when we
Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club.
Speaker 6: Good morning morning, everybody is dj n V Charlamagne dadd
Speaker 6: We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with
Speaker 6: Erika Alexander. She has a new movie out right now,
Speaker 6: American Fiction. I was gonna ask, you know, we talk
Speaker 6: about all the time, but now it seems like it's
Speaker 6: a lot different. We always say that we have to
Speaker 6: support our own support our own movies. But from hearing
Speaker 6: from you, it seems like you're saying that we don't
Speaker 6: have the same marketing dollars. So a lot of times,
Speaker 6: a lot of our people don't even know our movies
Speaker 6: are out when it comes to you know, the Book
Speaker 6: of Clarence that just recently came out, or even the
Speaker 6: Color Purple that you know, we don't get the same
Speaker 6: amount of marketing dollars that Action Box Office.
Speaker 13: More.
Speaker 2: Origin that's coming out, I just knew was outside of
Speaker 2: the I think it was the Golden Globes passing out
Speaker 2: flyers for Origin, which is insane.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so it doesn't necessarily mean that we're not supporting.
Speaker 6: It's a lot of times we're not aware of some
Speaker 6: of the stuff that's actually happened. That's what it seems
Speaker 6: like that you're saying that it's not the fact that
Speaker 6: we don't want to support or we can't support.
Speaker 1: This is the fact that we're.
Speaker 6: Saying that we don't hear about it, We don't have
Speaker 6: the same promotion, We don't know, it's not on our
Speaker 6: mind every ten minutes like some of these other movies are.
Speaker 16: You know, often that could be the case, but it's
Speaker 16: also not the level of sophistication that we deserve. They're
Speaker 16: not putting the marketing dollars into how they present it
Speaker 16: to us of a level of importance, allowing us to
Speaker 16: sort of have the same types of ability to take
Speaker 16: it in in a way that says, not only is important,
Speaker 16: we know it's important because look at how well that
Speaker 16: it's presented. We depend a lot on word of mouth,
Speaker 16: and black people have the least amount of time to
Speaker 16: watch movies and these types of things. We're doing so
Speaker 16: many things all at once. Sometime all you want to
Speaker 16: do is go home and watch the game. You don't
Speaker 16: want to step out the door. And yet we do
Speaker 16: support the film and television and the books that people
Speaker 16: are doing. We're great readers, we buy books and all
Speaker 16: these other things. We're willing to go to to a
Speaker 16: lot of things. It says that we're thirteen percent of
Speaker 16: this population, and many of us are incarcerated. Many of
Speaker 16: us are on huge burdens that take our numbers down.
Speaker 16: What they're not doing is promoting two white audiences.
Speaker 2: American fiction explores so much of what we're talking about
Speaker 2: right now. I watched it last night. Very interesting film.
Speaker 1: What is it about? That's the obvious question for the
Speaker 1: people who haven't seen.
Speaker 16: So cour Jefferson is the writer director. He's a very
Speaker 16: accomplished writer. He's a reader. So he started reading book
Speaker 16: and he read person for Everett's Erasure. This is based
Speaker 16: on Perconval evertts amazing book Eraser, And he said, I
Speaker 16: can see this as a film, and so he put
Speaker 16: his mind to that, and then he thought, the whole
Speaker 16: time he's writing it, he heard Jeffrey Wright's voice.
Speaker 21: Jeffrey Wright at.
Speaker 16: The time was grieving his mother, the loss of his mother,
Speaker 16: and that's what also Cord Jefferson had gone through. They're
Speaker 16: both men who were raised by women and loved their mothers.
Speaker 16: And so Jeffrey Wright didn't get back right away, but
Speaker 16: eventually got back and said, you know what, let's see,
Speaker 16: let's try this out. It's a magnificent script. It's funny
Speaker 16: on the page, which is hard to do to laugh
Speaker 16: out loud. He did it well, and so he got
Speaker 16: his first choice there and he started and he had
Speaker 16: a list and all his first choice you see in
Speaker 16: the movie I Am one of Them. Coraline plays the
Speaker 16: love interests of Jeffrey Wright's character Monk. Monk is an
Speaker 16: author who wants to be seen as an author and
Speaker 16: not a black author. He's in the Black session, but
Speaker 16: he's like, why am I not up there with everyone else?
Speaker 16: Why do I have to be in this section? I
Speaker 16: don't think he would complain if he was there and
Speaker 16: the African American section, but just being the African American
Speaker 16: Session section, he feels dehumanized. He feels like he's not
Speaker 16: on par with his contemporaries. And that's what the story
Speaker 16: is about. It's about a man who's discontented. And I
Speaker 16: think in midlife we can see and be some time
Speaker 16: really restless with how our life has panned out thus far.
Speaker 16: And some people can shift to pivot and be all
Speaker 16: right with it. Other people are like no, and they
Speaker 16: raise hell and they want to do something that totally
Speaker 16: turns it on his head. And he does, and that's
Speaker 16: what the story is about. I play Coraline, his love interest. Now,
Speaker 16: I gotta say real quick that this the movie at first.
Speaker 1: Was called like the book.
Speaker 16: Yes, okay, the movie was called so there we were
Speaker 16: filming it. But so when it came to me and
Speaker 16: they said, this director wants to speak to you. He
Speaker 16: thinks you'd be great for this role. You always want
Speaker 16: to be invited. It's wonderful to be invited to something.
Speaker 16: And I looked and it's Jeffrey Wright is the lead character,
Speaker 16: and you play his love interest. And I saw the
Speaker 16: work go on it and I said, my god, this
Speaker 16: is my nine and a half weeks.
Speaker 21: I'm be like Branda.
Speaker 16: We're gonna be in blue Light, just having sex, eating
Speaker 16: grapes and drinking wine, talking about deep stuff.
Speaker 21: I've waited my whole life. And he started doing my
Speaker 21: ad work.
Speaker 25: Nah, what like that?
Speaker 21: You know, I get this nugger on him and you know.
Speaker 16: Hump a little bit, you know, you know, I just finished,
Speaker 16: you apply, you know, to rub you know, lotion on myself.
Speaker 16: But other than that, now, but I was excited because
Speaker 16: he not only invited me to play, but I knew
Speaker 16: that I was being asked to play against somebody admired,
Speaker 16: and he was probably only asking me because he thought
Speaker 16: that when you go to the majors and you're in
Speaker 16: you know, a major league, you know team that you
Speaker 16: yourself are hit her or you're a runner or this,
Speaker 16: and you could be counted on. And so I felt like, yeah,
Speaker 16: I'm in my class, heavyweight class. That's where I'm supposed
Speaker 16: to be.
Speaker 1: Random question about a detail because you just mentioned it.
Speaker 2: We was watching it last night and after it was
Speaker 2: implied that y'all had just slept together, and I go older.
Speaker 2: I said to Martin, they're implying that they just slept together.
Speaker 2: And she was like, yeah, he's getting dressed. She's putting
Speaker 2: the lotion on her hand, and you just said that too.
Speaker 2: What what is the lotion on the hand for women?
Speaker 21: No women come up to me.
Speaker 16: It's sec we love. We thought that was one of
Speaker 16: the best sex scenes we ever saw. I said, what
Speaker 16: sex scene? You know afterwards, when you put the lotion
Speaker 16: on your hands, they like the efficiency of that.
Speaker 10: What is the.
Speaker 1: Washing on the hands? I never thought about it.
Speaker 16: She's washed up and she's putting lotions on her hand
Speaker 16: to show that, you know, not done something.
Speaker 21: But she's yeah, she's just clean.
Speaker 16: She's clean, she got off the shower, she's done her thing,
Speaker 16: and she's back and you know, listen, it takes Look,
Speaker 16: I don't know why I was ready to haunt the man.
Speaker 1: Do you hear what if a detailed women know? Clearly? Yeah?
Speaker 16: Yeah, especially I think again, it's a mature relationship. We
Speaker 16: don't need to see him going in back and doing
Speaker 16: all this. This is ain't Jason Lyric. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 16: know what I'm saying, we've grown. That implies enough. And
Speaker 16: then we get on with the discussion about not love
Speaker 16: so much but liking and being sort of saying, you know,
Speaker 16: there is there symbiotic relationship here, do we we fiell
Speaker 16: the chemistry?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 21: Okay, that's mature. I think people need to see that
Speaker 21: more often.
Speaker 1: Why did the title turn on American fiction? Then?
Speaker 21: Well apparently he was really strong on that corpus, like, no,
Speaker 21: that's what it is.
Speaker 26: You know.
Speaker 21: I just got to stand by it.
Speaker 16: And then they started cutting it and they said, look here,
Speaker 16: whenever we put it in, you know, this is when
Speaker 16: all those people start to get involved in marketing. If
Speaker 16: we put that work in, porn comes up all the
Speaker 16: time we wanted to be synonymous with porn, and he said,
Speaker 16: you know what, let me think about it. So he says,
Speaker 16: he went and you know, smoke a lot. Ganja thought
Speaker 16: about it and came up with a few. American fiction
Speaker 16: was the one he chose.
Speaker 1: So what does the title American fiction mean to the movie?
Speaker 16: You think so America and the fiction being not true
Speaker 16: or you know there's fact fiction and there's non fact
Speaker 16: nonfiction which is true.
Speaker 21: What is the American fiction that's all around us?
Speaker 16: The definition of our lives around the America's definition of us.
Speaker 16: Black people have had to carry that weight our entire
Speaker 16: time since we arrived in America, throughout the enslavement, after
Speaker 16: emancipation and the reconstruction through civil rights. And now there
Speaker 16: is a fiction around us, but that fiction is locked
Speaker 16: with American exceptionalism. So it's not just the idea that
Speaker 16: Black people are working inside of an identity crisis. It
Speaker 16: was put upon them by people who created them, and
Speaker 16: we've adopted the language of our oppressors. That's when it's successful.
Speaker 16: That's when you know it works. I don't know any
Speaker 16: other people that have done that as successfully they do.
Speaker 16: You know a lot of Latinos who go around calling
Speaker 16: themselves went back what I feel for us because I
Speaker 16: see the strong and sort of trying to take that
Speaker 16: word and reframe it. But can you reframe something that
Speaker 16: was meant to damage you from the core? Has it's
Speaker 16: done its job the minute you start to reframe it
Speaker 16: towards yourself and your children, and then they carry it
Speaker 16: on and then the world adopts it for themselves. I
Speaker 16: don't know, but that's what American fiction is. Jeffrey Wright
Speaker 16: is playing a man who's saying that I am not
Speaker 16: that version. I'm They're telling him that you're not writing
Speaker 16: books that are black enough. But who are they to
Speaker 16: say that he's not black enough? He's black. He's an author.
Speaker 16: That's his book that's black enough. They didn't say that
Speaker 16: about our music. They just put Elvis up and he
Speaker 16: started shaking them legs.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 6: We got more with Erika Alexander when we come back.
Speaker 6: It's the Breakfast Club The Morning Morning, Everybody, It's dej
Speaker 6: n B. Charlomagne, the guy. We are to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Were still kicking it with Erika Alexander. She has a
Speaker 6: new movie out right now, American Fiction.
Speaker 2: Charlomagne, you said something that made me think about the
Speaker 2: N word, Like I always tell myself, I'm gonna stop
Speaker 2: using that word because I never use it as of endearment.
Speaker 7: I use it.
Speaker 2: I use it as the oppressor, you know I do.
Speaker 2: So that's one of the read I got. I don't
Speaker 2: feel the need to hold on to that, you know.
Speaker 16: I think we've forgotten who we are. I think when
Speaker 16: we remember, we understand that maybe we've been brought across
Speaker 16: the ocean to make this case, to live these lives
Speaker 16: so we can create a better tomorrow. Today we're having
Speaker 16: conversations about voting, we're having conversations about the next election.
Speaker 16: And I always remember that Black women are the marines
Speaker 16: on the front line, but they don't want to always
Speaker 16: have to be. That's where men are supposed to be.
Speaker 16: They're supposed to see the clear present danger and stop
Speaker 16: the wolf at the door from hurting the most vulnerable people.
Speaker 21: That's what it is. Black people are tired of that.
Speaker 21: I don't know if I'm going to do it.
Speaker 16: I said, what's your choice? Could have should have, would
Speaker 16: have worked toward that. But right now you can see
Speaker 16: there's a danger at the door, that wolf.
Speaker 21: Stop them.
Speaker 16: You're a warrior, you're a king, you're supposed to do that.
Speaker 16: That's what we were, That's what we have to do
Speaker 16: right now. Don't want to hate it, but that that's
Speaker 16: what we're doing. I don't want to have to keep
Speaker 16: talking about do it. No, you're going to have to
Speaker 16: do this.
Speaker 1: Erica.
Speaker 16: Your dark skin and you're nappy headed. You will not
Speaker 16: be Zendia. You will not be halle Berry anytime soon.
Speaker 16: You won't even be able to cross over. Thank God
Speaker 16: for Court Jefferson, who saw me as being delicate and
Speaker 16: put me in more in a position to be desired.
Speaker 16: I needed that black man to step up to create
Speaker 16: the space to see me as a woman who could
Speaker 16: just chill and drink wine and have somebody seduce her,
Speaker 16: and she seduce him. I get to drop my tomatoes.
Speaker 21: You see.
Speaker 16: That's called meeting cute, leave me cute, like Meg Ryan
Speaker 16: and Tom Hanks does. A black man saw that, and
Speaker 16: he took somebody who's usually hired as the hammers, the
Speaker 16: ham Jeffrey Jeffrey, right, is a hammer.
Speaker 21: I'm a hammer. You bring me in.
Speaker 16: It's like, what do you need done? It's like your hammer, Erica.
Speaker 16: But I also see you as being desirable and beautiful
Speaker 16: and delicate, and we need some of those muscles work
Speaker 16: that out here. And so I lay in the cut
Speaker 16: a bit and do a little less of what I've
Speaker 16: been at has to do for over four decades.
Speaker 2: The movie got me to think, and how you know,
Speaker 2: how hard is it to sell things of substance in Hollywood?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 2: Because then, and you know, I got me to thinking
Speaker 2: about you as a creative because everything that you do
Speaker 2: is of substance and it ha intension behind it.
Speaker 1: So how hard is it to sell things of substance
Speaker 1: in Hollywood?
Speaker 16: Well, for somebody like me, it's near impossible, because they're
Speaker 16: always gonna rate you as what you've done before, and
Speaker 16: if you haven't leveraged that power yet, they don't think
Speaker 16: you have it. So I needed somebody like you, Charlotte
Speaker 16: Mane and Kevin Hard to hire us the color farm
Speaker 16: part of me, who's got a company to create something
Speaker 16: and get the opportunities because you're in rooms that I'm not.
Speaker 16: So we need men mostly who have those opportunities, have
Speaker 16: those conversations with cigars and cognac to bring up the
Speaker 16: women and say, you know what, I'm going to make
Speaker 16: sure that I bring them to the table they're always
Speaker 16: with me because you don't have those opportunities.
Speaker 1: Which is so because we're in nowhere near is brilliant?
Speaker 1: Is I mean like not even.
Speaker 16: Clothes, you certainly are. The thing is that you know
Speaker 16: that there's a wide sort of palette that we're missing
Speaker 16: if we don't bring our women in. And again that's
Speaker 16: why I say black men are supposed to protect the
Speaker 16: most vulnerable. They're also the lift and elevate them and
Speaker 16: if done well, we can change the world.
Speaker 2: Do awards matter to you because you know I know
Speaker 2: American fiction, say no question, Yes, yeah, because American Victory
Speaker 2: was even nominated for Best Motion Picture Musical Comedy at
Speaker 2: the Golden Globes and they I saw you on Tammon
Speaker 2: Hall and they're talking about Oscoo bars around your role
Speaker 2: in American fiction.
Speaker 21: So they do matter, Charlem Mane.
Speaker 16: I wish they didn't, but this world puts a premium
Speaker 16: on people who win awards, and I think if we
Speaker 16: can't make content that is uniquely on a black subject,
Speaker 16: the subject that has a black person in it and
Speaker 16: has agency, and can't prove that we can make the dollars,
Speaker 16: that's another award, box office and awards, then they'll keep
Speaker 16: putting us in the cultural ghetto, and we can't afford
Speaker 16: to be there more. So I think that it's all
Speaker 16: right for us to shoot for it, but we need
Speaker 16: to acknowledge how many people never got those awards and
Speaker 16: we're still inside of that. So if you look at
Speaker 16: the great Felicia Rashad, who never got an Emmy or
Speaker 16: her work, crazy Patricia Heaton got eight or everybody loves Raymond,
Speaker 16: no shade to her?
Speaker 21: Where's felicious? Where's Cecily Tyson before they gave her an honorary.
Speaker 1: Angela Bassett exactly?
Speaker 21: Why?
Speaker 13: What is that?
Speaker 19: So?
Speaker 16: No, those awards matter and people want them because they
Speaker 16: think it's going to also help their trajectory of their work.
Speaker 21: Lu Goassid said it didn't help at all, said it
Speaker 21: ruined his career. I think so.
Speaker 16: I don't want to speak for him. He's still here
Speaker 16: to speak for himself. But I think it was because
Speaker 16: suddenly people didn't want to pay him what he was worth.
Speaker 16: They didn't want to Oh, well that next and Mary,
Speaker 16: I told you that mixed.
Speaker 21: You ask him for too much?
Speaker 16: Really, are we from the great Lucassip? So it's I
Speaker 16: think catch twenty two we need to do to have it.
Speaker 16: We shouldn't expect it, and don't be broken hearted if
Speaker 16: that happens. The award is the love that you get
Speaker 16: from the audience. Every day I go out, whether it's
Speaker 16: at the bank or otherwise, I get love from everybody.
Speaker 1: Well, the children's books, what you got there?
Speaker 21: Oh oh yeah, thank you.
Speaker 16: So next when we're talking about books and everything, and
Speaker 16: so my mother wrote a book. Io, so I brought
Speaker 16: one for each of you, for your family than your
Speaker 16: family's library.
Speaker 1: The Rainbow Forest and the Rainbow Forest.
Speaker 16: That's great, Sammue Alexander, excuse me, Samue Alexander the twice,
Speaker 16: or for the woman I speak about a lot. She's
Speaker 16: a teacher and an educator and that was important to her,
Speaker 16: and I'm helping her while she's eighty two years old
Speaker 16: to get her ideas out there. So that's IO. Show
Speaker 16: them the back Charlemagne so they can see that's amazing that. Jacob,
Speaker 16: what's the illustrations name right now?
Speaker 1: Jacob Duncan.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Jacob Duncan did from North Carolina. Nice young illustrator
Speaker 16: did that. And then also Grandma's hand.
Speaker 21: This is a friend.
Speaker 16: This is the Bill Withers family. And so he's passed away,
Speaker 16: but Grandma's hands. With Grandma's hands, he's done a book.
Speaker 16: And after he's passed away, about it, and so I
Speaker 16: make sure it gets into as many hands as possible
Speaker 16: and we build our libraries that way. You guys are
Speaker 16: both great builders of families and communities. So I wanted
Speaker 16: to make sure you had that my mama's book.
Speaker 21: There you go.
Speaker 1: I got maybe two more questions, but really one more.
Speaker 2: Nikkia Haley said, America is in a racist country, right,
Speaker 2: You think the decision makers in Hollywood believe that.
Speaker 21: I don't know who she was talking to, you know what,
Speaker 21: they act like there is a racism.
Speaker 16: But that's what keeps it going is that people want
Speaker 16: to act like these are people often that have been
Speaker 16: the most persecuted people on the earth. We can't act
Speaker 16: like it's not there. We can't afford to. And her
Speaker 16: standing that up and not facing it is making her
Speaker 16: look weak. And nobody wants a woman who's weak. They
Speaker 16: already have that, you know, in the negative. But the
Speaker 16: fact that she's taken that stance, especially coming from South Carolina,
Speaker 16: your home state, is disgusting. She should know better. Also,
Speaker 16: she's an East Indian World an American. Yes, she knows
Speaker 16: what's behind it. If she doesn't get to president, it'll
Speaker 16: be because she's not a woman. And also that she's
Speaker 16: not that she's a brown woman. So she can ignore
Speaker 16: that if she wants to, but the party she's going
Speaker 16: to need to help her cannot afford to ignore that.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we appreciate you for joining us as
Speaker 1: Erica Alexander so much. Make sure you go out there

Speaker 6: Thank you for joining us. We appreciate you, Erica Alexander.
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, it's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. God so I'm
Speaker 1: calling it gossip.
Speaker 2: Hip. I don't want to do this anymorement.
Speaker 1: Taylor fantastic rumor report intro. I refuse.
Speaker 2: I refuse to accept that intro because there will not
Speaker 2: be no CNY with the t Okay, this is not
Speaker 2: gonna be a permanent thing.
Speaker 13: You never told me.
Speaker 21: I don't want to do this.
Speaker 2: We we we get nothing. Third co host, Dammit, I
Speaker 2: appreciate it. I ain't doing no fantastic intro. But no,
Speaker 2: we do not accept that. We rebuked that in the
Speaker 2: name of a third.
Speaker 1: Co host with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, let's jump right into it. Run DMC
Speaker 6: documentary trailer has been released. Now let me tell you
Speaker 6: why this means so much to me. So Run was
Speaker 6: the first celebrity that I ever met.
Speaker 1: I was a kid. My mother was shopping on DJ.
Speaker 1: Clue No, Run, Run, it is the.
Speaker 6: Bigges select Clue wasn't the big celebrity at the time.
Speaker 6: Run was the big celebrity at the time.
Speaker 1: Changed your life. And actually I met Run before I
Speaker 1: met a clue. But Run, me and my mother was
Speaker 1: at a store.
Speaker 2: Courts taught you to DJ said, Clue came up behind you.
Speaker 2: We took you down in his basement, and then he
Speaker 2: used to come up behind you and hold put his
Speaker 2: hand on top of yours and teach you how to scratch.
Speaker 6: That's not remember, I don't know what weird dreams you have,
Speaker 6: but that never happens. I did not say that, No
Speaker 6: it didn't. But anyway, as I was saying, let me
Speaker 6: at it. Run was the first celebrity I ever met.
Speaker 6: I think I was like four or five or six
Speaker 6: years old and my mother was in TSS. TSS is
Speaker 6: a store like Target or Walmart now, and I was
Speaker 6: running through the store and I ran in to run
Speaker 6: and he signed a Manila envelope for me, and I
Speaker 6: always kept that and it always meant a lot because
Speaker 6: I got a chance to see my rap superheroes back
Speaker 6: in the day. Like a lot of you guys see
Speaker 6: him on Instagram. I would run into a run or
Speaker 6: a gm Aster j or run running to run boom boom.
Speaker 6: You would see your fifty cents, you would see your
Speaker 6: Jah Rules, your mike' ron was anybody and queens. You
Speaker 6: actually seen mob deep nows, You've seen them out and about.
Speaker 6: So this means a lot. And this was probably part
Speaker 6: of the reason why I got into music and started
Speaker 6: loving music so much was because of Run DMC.
Speaker 2: My thing about being on stage and performing, the first
Speaker 2: thing that comes to my mind is intensity.
Speaker 1: When Run was being Run, Darrol was being Darryl, and
Speaker 1: Jay was being Ja, it was heaven. It was Nirvana.
Speaker 1: When we get on stage, we're doing what we gotta do.
Speaker 1: It lock the house, hold up, let's back up. My
Speaker 1: reason for getting it to wrap was the streets.
Speaker 9: Everybody in the neighborhood started getting shoot, turntables and a mixing.
Speaker 1: At this point, me and d we were dreaming about
Speaker 1: making our own stuff. Grab your Run, but we're going
Speaker 1: to the studio to make your record. That was the
Speaker 1: moment I knew hip hop was gonna be huge. They
Speaker 1: brought more people to the genre.
Speaker 6: Ex So there was dope that comes out on Peacock
Speaker 6: as a docum series set to drop later on this year,
Speaker 6: And this is the dope thing about it. Run DMC
Speaker 6: is actually executive producing the doc themselves.
Speaker 2: So I think that's pretty I mean, I couldn't see
Speaker 2: it any other way. When you have people that are
Speaker 2: still alive, you know, to tell their stories, they better
Speaker 2: be executive producing their documentaries on their own. Sluta rev
Speaker 2: Run and DMC dropping the clues bumps for Revern that's
Speaker 2: about to say the same thing. I ran into reverun
Speaker 2: a couple of months ago and it was when I
Speaker 2: saw him he literally said he had prayed for me
Speaker 2: that morning.
Speaker 1: Really, I don't think it.
Speaker 2: I don't believe it was Cap. No, I don't believe
Speaker 2: it was cap. I mean, I'm a good person. We
Speaker 2: were walking it and out, and you know, he got
Speaker 2: a very recognizable head. I mean kind of if your
Speaker 2: gott he had a ball. He kind of looked like
Speaker 2: you gotta was from the back, which is so strange
Speaker 2: that him and Yo Gotti look like But that that's
Speaker 2: a whole other conversation.
Speaker 1: But I said, I said run, and he was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: see TGS, I prayed for you this morning. Wow, So
Speaker 1: thank you run Sluthor run. Very good person.
Speaker 6: Him and his beautiful wife absolutely shout the run, run
Speaker 6: in the run all the time. I see him all
Speaker 6: the time, I would say, I see him all the time,
Speaker 6: always passing each other. Now, Rod Waves says the reason
Speaker 6: he got into music is because his exis obsession with
Speaker 6: NB a young boy.
Speaker 2: One of my girl I used to caut new young
Speaker 2: but and I remember just like I would like say,
Speaker 2: it's all living in my own crib.
Speaker 1: I remember she was just quiet bro in my living.
Speaker 3: Room watching broke videospecially back dawn turned out.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to turn up. That's now we are.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, but how much? And just you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, use it when you're used it the power
Speaker 1: of the poom poom. Nobody looking to the power inspiration.
Speaker 1: He was power the power to poom poom, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, people always want to give Vagina such
Speaker 2: a hard time, but they don't talk about Vagina. Is
Speaker 2: the great motivated that it is because it's not just
Speaker 2: rod Wave. If you've ever seen that book, that movie,
Speaker 2: Oh that movie I can't remember the name of it
Speaker 2: was the movie about Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg was motivated to
Speaker 2: create Facebook the same exact way, just to get the
Speaker 2: attention of a woman. You know what, So whatever the motivation,
Speaker 2: Hited told Mattter, salute to all the women in vaginas
Speaker 2: have inspired great things and great people.
Speaker 6: Right and lastly, Snoop Dogg's daughter had a severe stroke yesterday.
Speaker 6: She's twenty four years old. She's been the moment vocal
Speaker 6: about her fight with lupus and she had a stroke.
Speaker 22: Yesterday, Snoop Dogg's daughter, Corey broad Us suffers a severe stroke.
Speaker 22: The twenty four year old takes to her ig stories
Speaker 22: January eighteenth to tell fans about her recent health emergency.
Speaker 22: Posting a blurry photo from what appears to be a
Speaker 22: hospital room, she writes, I had a severe stroke this am.
Speaker 22: I started breaking down crying when they told me. The
Speaker 22: singer then shares another photo, a selfie of her wearing
Speaker 22: a face mask, captioning it like I'm only twenty four.
Speaker 22: What did I do in my past to deserve all
Speaker 22: of this? The youngest child of the famous rapper and
Speaker 22: his wife, Shanty Taylor, has struggled with health issues in
Speaker 22: the past, openly talking about being diagnosed with lupus at
Speaker 22: the age of six. According to the Dupest Foundation of America,
Speaker 22: the disease is a lifelong condition that affects the body's
Speaker 22: immune system. The condition causes one's body to attack healthy tissue.
Speaker 22: It can cause inflammation in the joints, kidneys, skin, blood cells, brain, lungs,
Speaker 22: and heart.
Speaker 2: God bless that young queen man. I'm telling you, every
Speaker 2: day of your life if you wake up and you
Speaker 2: pray for good health. Man, you should wake up and
Speaker 2: pray for good health every single day. Do not take
Speaker 2: good health for granted, and not way shape or Formana.
Speaker 2: Definitely sending that sys the healing energy.
Speaker 1: Twenty four years old, that's right, Oh, I have Mersey.
Speaker 6: The sad thing is she says, you know, I'm twenty four.
Speaker 6: What did I do on my past to deserve all
Speaker 6: of this?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So I'm like, I'm with you.
Speaker 6: I'm sending healing energy and I hope that if she
Speaker 6: does need somebody to talk, so that if there's somebody
Speaker 6: there that's you know, that can guide her and talk
Speaker 6: though through this.
Speaker 2: And also to man, she didn't do anything nothing at all. Life, life, life,
Speaker 2: I think we forget that sometimes. That's why I'm really
Speaker 2: I've been at this point in my life. I don't
Speaker 2: believe in so called good. I don't believe in soul
Speaker 2: called I just believe life is one long process and
Speaker 2: through that process, life is just going life. Things just
Speaker 2: gonna happen, you know, and when they do, you you
Speaker 2: just gotta deal with them.
Speaker 13: You got to.
Speaker 2: You gotta, you know, lean on lean on God. When
Speaker 2: you don't understand. Some things are out of the realm
Speaker 2: with human understanding.
Speaker 6: All right, hey, well that is your rumor report now, Charlemagne. Yes,
Speaker 6: we're giving that donkey.
Speaker 1: Two, you know, for after the hour.
Speaker 2: I want to use this as sort of a PSA
Speaker 2: because there's something I told y'all nine months ago on
Speaker 2: April fourteenth, twenty twenty three, and it was in reference
Speaker 2: to AI. So I would like to, you know, revisit
Speaker 2: that donkey of the day as well as give you
Speaker 2: some updates on some things that are happening right now
Speaker 2: because of AI. Alright, well, you know this could be
Speaker 2: AI talking to you right now. How do you notice,
Speaker 2: is Charlamagne to god? You have no idea?
Speaker 1: You don't all right, we'll get to the donkey next.
Speaker 1: I got some questions. They have no idea. They listening
Speaker 1: in the car right now.
Speaker 12: You don't know.
Speaker 6: Well, I have some questions. We'll get to a nextus
Speaker 6: to breakfast. Welcome morning the breakfast club. Your mornings will
Speaker 6: never be the same, Charlamagne. Some donkey to day is
Speaker 6: just sad themself.
Speaker 1: Charlotte, man, I was ready for day. I never heard
Speaker 1: the donkey other day?
Speaker 7: What is it?
Speaker 1: Say it again? Charlama, I'm a donkey. Yes, you are
Speaker 1: adult everything that's Charlotte Lgne the same. That's truthfu damn right.
Speaker 1: It is Donkey to day for Friday, January nineteenth. Is
Speaker 1: a reminder.
Speaker 2: It's a reminder of something I told y'all nine months
Speaker 2: ago on April fourteen, twenty twenty three. To be exact,
Speaker 2: I am fully aware that nobody takes me serious because
Speaker 2: I have a list. I relate a lot to Rafiki
Speaker 2: from the Lion King. I can see where the things
Speaker 2: I say may come off of sounding crazy, But if
Speaker 2: you actually listen, if you really listen, you might learn
Speaker 2: something from you from your friendly neighborhood bad guy Charlamagne
Speaker 2: to God. Okay, see, last year I got on this
Speaker 2: radio and warned y'all about the dangers of AI. And
Speaker 2: today there's a couple of situations I want to bring
Speaker 2: to your attention. Okay, Hot Mike supposedly caught President Joe
Speaker 2: Biden threatening the wage war on Texas with F fifteen
Speaker 2: fighter jets. Now calm down, all you digital democratic d riders.
Speaker 2: I know y'all just be ready to come to the
Speaker 2: defense of massive Biden, but just relax. I'm fully aware
Speaker 2: that the audio's artificial intelligence. Let's listen, going to make.
Speaker 11: Sure those cowboys don't stop the shirts of military age
Speaker 11: events and ana if we have to send fifteenth to
Speaker 11: tections here and raige war against.
Speaker 2: Textions scary, especially being that they got the dois in
Speaker 2: the background like he's just talking some with very scary.
Speaker 1: That's not the only one.
Speaker 2: This week in Maryland, a racist rant came out and
Speaker 2: they said the racist rant was from Principal Eric Eisworth,
Speaker 2: but he says it was AI.
Speaker 1: Let's listen, I'm the principal.
Speaker 10: Here of being only me, you know, I seriously don't
Speaker 10: understand why I have to constantly put up with these
Speaker 10: here every day, between these ungrateful black kids who can't
Speaker 10: test their way out of a paper bag, or these
Speaker 10: teachers who don't get it. How hard is it to
Speaker 10: get these students to meet their grade level expectations? Lawrence
Speaker 10: and Revenuel I should have never been hired. And don't
Speaker 10: let me get started on DJ. I'm gonna drag his
Speaker 10: blacks out of here one way or another. I'm gonna
Speaker 10: get something to stick. I'm just so sick of the
Speaker 10: inadequacies of these people. And if I have to get
Speaker 10: one more complaint from one more Jew in this community.
Speaker 1: I'm going to join the other side. Kathy, I'm done.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's real and was
Speaker 1: not real. I have no idea.
Speaker 2: And that's what I warned you about last year April fourteenth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. So I'm glad that everything we've done
Speaker 2: for the past fourteen years is recorded because it's all
Speaker 2: a matter of historical record.
Speaker 1: And I want to take this time this morning.
Speaker 2: To flash back to a warning I gave on April fourteenth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, because it was a PSA for where
Speaker 2: we are today. Let's listen, donkey of to day for
Speaker 2: is more of a PSA than anything. I feel like
Speaker 2: I just have to bring some public awareness to this
Speaker 2: latest scam that is happening, and it's gonna be the
Speaker 2: first of many because humans have mutually assured our own
Speaker 2: destruction by opening the doors for artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1: I know, I know technology. You know, Chanla mean you're old.
Speaker 1: You have to embrace innovation. Listen to me.
Speaker 2: Innovation is great, Okay, anything that can make our lives
Speaker 2: easier and better, I'm all for it. But artificial intelligence
Speaker 2: is not going to make our lives easier, are better.
Speaker 2: It's going to make our lives harder and more difficult
Speaker 2: because one of the hardest and most difficult things for
Speaker 2: people to do over the last decade or so is
Speaker 2: determine what's real and what's not. And AI isn't going
Speaker 2: to blur the lines between reality and fantasy. It's going
Speaker 2: to erase those lines period. Case in point, the story
Speaker 2: this story I'm about to tell you all of Arizona. Mom,
Speaker 2: Jennifer di Stefano. Jennifer di Stefano was at home minding
Speaker 2: her business and she got a phone call. Would you
Speaker 2: like to know what the phone call was about? Let's
Speaker 2: go to CBS five for the report.
Speaker 1: Police don't have the money.
Speaker 10: Both you and your daughter are death warning of close
Speaker 10: encounters with scammers who used artificial intelligence to clone her
Speaker 10: daughter's voice.
Speaker 21: Yeah, this is crazy.
Speaker 5: They actually made her believe they had kidnapped her fifteen
Speaker 5: year old and then they demanded a ransom.
Speaker 3: So as on your size, Susan Campbell found out.
Speaker 21: This is crazy. It doesn't take much of a voice
Speaker 21: sample to pull this scam off.
Speaker 25: The phone number was unfamiliar, Jennifer to Stefano, almost let
Speaker 25: it go to voicemail, but her fifteen year old was
Speaker 25: out of town skiing.
Speaker 21: Maybe there had been an accident.
Speaker 18: I pick up the phone and I hear my daughter's
Speaker 18: voice and it says mom, and she's sobbing. And then
Speaker 18: I hear a man's voice say put your head back,
Speaker 18: lie down. And this man gets on the phone and
Speaker 18: he's like, listen here, I've got your daughter. This is
Speaker 18: how it's gonna go down. You call the police, you
Speaker 18: call anybody. I'm gonna pop her something so full of drugs.
Speaker 18: I'm gonna have my way to throwna drop her off
Speaker 18: in Mexico. And at that moment, I just started shaking.
Speaker 27: I'm like what.
Speaker 18: In the background, she's going help me, Mom, please help me,
Speaker 18: help me in falling.
Speaker 21: I never doubt it for one second.
Speaker 13: It was her.
Speaker 25: The person who had supposedly kidnapped Jennifer's daughter demanded money.
Speaker 3: He started at a million dollars.
Speaker 18: I was like that, I don't have a million dollars.
Speaker 18: I'm like fine, whatever, start my daughter. Then he wants
Speaker 18: fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: M Humans, fear humans. How are we okay with this? Okay?
Speaker 2: How is anybody okay with this. How come we are
Speaker 2: choosing to be obtuse to what is right around the corner.
Speaker 2: I don't like any of this AI stuff, Okay. In fact,
Speaker 2: my spoder senses go off around anybody I'll see pushing
Speaker 2: it because I'm like that person might.
Speaker 1: Be an agent.
Speaker 2: All right, we live in a world right now where
Speaker 2: people can't even handle fake tweets, So how the hell
Speaker 2: will we handle AI. If you thought the misinformation campaigns
Speaker 2: in the twenty sixteen and twenty twenty elections were nuts,
Speaker 2: imagine what twenty twenty four is gonna look like. Folks
Speaker 2: used to take videos and audios and edit them out
Speaker 2: of context to manipulate people. Now I can do deep
Speaker 2: fake videos and have AI simulation that can completely mimic
Speaker 2: my voice, the inflection, the emotion.
Speaker 1: And we really want to unleash that evil on.
Speaker 2: This already stupid ass American society, okay, which then will
Speaker 2: impact the world. YouTube, social media, and news. Y'all already
Speaker 2: run with a bunch of fake stories. Now what happens
Speaker 2: when these news outlets start receiving audio leaks of audio
Speaker 2: leaks of fake AI conversations between world leaders threatening nuclear war,
Speaker 2: fake AI conversations from celebrities saying wild things about different
Speaker 2: groups right before they have a movie or TV show
Speaker 2: or book coming out. Fake AI conversations between co workers.
Speaker 2: Now you're running up on your co workers because you
Speaker 2: heard they was talking spicy about you, and it's just AI.
Speaker 2: Fake AI conversations between your significant other and one of
Speaker 2: your homies. You're gonna think your mate is cheating on
Speaker 2: you with your best friend because of AI and human emotions.
Speaker 1: Move it to speed a light.
Speaker 2: Nobody stops to think about what's real and what's not real.
Speaker 2: It's just all about what you feel. We don't feel
Speaker 2: the facts. We felt the feelings, and nobody cares about
Speaker 2: their truth when the lie is more entertaining.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, y'all need AI once again.
Speaker 2: I'm just raising public awareness because the article I read
Speaker 2: in the New York Post FBI agent said the only
Speaker 2: way to stop it is to raise public awareness. Now,
Speaker 2: if you're wondering how they are able to even get
Speaker 2: your voice in the first place, listen to this man
Speaker 2: whose name sounds like somebody on Mortal Kombat. I can't
Speaker 2: pronounce it. Siberro come a body. He's a computer science
Speaker 2: professor at Arizona State University.
Speaker 1: He breaks it down, you can no longer trust you
Speaker 1: as Zubero.
Speaker 25: Common Body is a computer science professor Arizona State.
Speaker 3: It specializes in AI.
Speaker 25: He says voice cloning technology is rapidly approving.
Speaker 6: Now there are ways in which you can do this
Speaker 6: with just three seconds of your voice.
Speaker 17: So with the three seconds, it can come extremely close
Speaker 17: to how exactly you sound, and.
Speaker 25: You don't even need any special equipment. I chose a
Speaker 25: free program for a test, and I'm not actually TopKing.
Speaker 17: It's in you TWI and you know, and I think
Speaker 17: they could be great, good users, but suddenly they can
Speaker 17: be pretty What is some usss to me?
Speaker 2: We have all these conversations about secret societies and illuminati.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: Somebody has been planning this for the last thirty years
Speaker 2: at least, probably longer, and they've been patient. Think about
Speaker 2: how many decades of data they have on all of us,
Speaker 2: video audio from black Planet to MySpace, the Facebook, to
Speaker 2: Twitter and Instagram, the tiktac they got us already all right,
Speaker 2: there is no putting a twoth paste back into YouTube.
Speaker 2: Y'all always having conversations about celebrities being cloned, when the
Speaker 2: reality is they have cloned all of us already.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, by the way, the situation in Arizona with Jennifer's
Speaker 2: not a one time thing. It happened to a woman
Speaker 2: named Beth Royce last month, and it happened in the
Speaker 2: similar to a woman named Chelsea Gates, and both cases
Speaker 2: a man called threatened to kill a family member, in
Speaker 2: best case her sister, in Chelsea case, her mom. And
Speaker 2: in the background, Beth and Chelsea could hear their relatives
Speaker 2: crying and begging for help, and the men demanded a
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, and of course Beth and Chelsea.
Speaker 1: Sent the money.
Speaker 2: Okay, I truly don't see how people can't see this coming. Now,
Speaker 2: FBI agent Dan Mayo has some tips on what we
Speaker 2: should be looking out for. We all should be making
Speaker 2: a note of this because this is about to be
Speaker 2: our new reality, simply because humans can't help themselves.
Speaker 1: Listen, you gotta slow down and diffuse the situation.
Speaker 25: The FBI's Dan Man says scammers who use voice cloning
Speaker 25: often find their prey on social media.
Speaker 26: They're gonna be looking for public profiles that have as
Speaker 26: much information as possible on you, and when they get
Speaker 26: a hold of that they're gonna dig into you.
Speaker 25: The Federal Trade Commission says scammers will often ask their
Speaker 25: victims to wire money, send cryptocurrency, or pay the ransom
Speaker 25: with gift cards. Once the money is gone, it's almost
Speaker 25: impossible to get it back.
Speaker 26: The phone numbers coming from an area code that you're
Speaker 26: not familiar with, that should be one red flag, second
Speaker 26: red flag international numbers. Sometimes they will call from those
Speaker 26: as well, third red flag. They will not allow you
Speaker 26: to get off the phone and talk to your significant other.
Speaker 26: Right that's a problem.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna end this how I started it. I don't
Speaker 2: like any of this AI stuff simply because I know
Speaker 2: you humans can't handle it. I didn't even get into
Speaker 2: how chat GPT is going to make people less creative
Speaker 2: and how it's going to totally stop people from really
Speaker 2: flexing those brain muscles. Writers in Hollywood, y'all show, y'all
Speaker 2: want to go on a stripe right now. Not to
Speaker 2: mention if you let it, If you let chat GPT
Speaker 2: write a job proposal for you, what happens when you
Speaker 2: actually have to sit with someone and explain that proposal yourself.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the millions and millions of jobs that
Speaker 2: are going to be lost. Tech jobs, media jobs, legal
Speaker 2: industry jobs, para legals, legal assistance, You're done. Teachers, finance jobs,
Speaker 2: personal financial advisors, financial analysis, financial analysts.
Speaker 1: It's a rap for y'all.
Speaker 2: Okay, my advice, build a wall around Silicon Valley before
Speaker 2: it's too late.
Speaker 1: The job in life you saved might be your own.
Speaker 2: Please give all these people already manipulating, manipulating AI to
Speaker 2: scam folks the biggest he are. I told y'all all
Speaker 2: of that last year, April fourteenth, twenty twenty three. And
Speaker 2: you see where we are now? Seeing reality for what
Speaker 2: it is is what we call discernment. The work of
Speaker 2: discernment is very hard, but discernment to me isn't hard
Speaker 2: at all. But in twenty twenty four, with AI, seeing
Speaker 2: reality for what it is will be virtually impossible. Please
Speaker 2: once again, let remy ma, give all these folks using
Speaker 2: AI to manipulate our reality the biggest he are.
Speaker 1: Hee haw, he ha, You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Now?
Speaker 2: Let's open up the phone lines eight hundred have some
Speaker 2: more things I want to talk to you all about
Speaker 2: about A yeah, but we do when we come back.
Speaker 6: Eight hundred and five eight five one five one. Let's
Speaker 6: talk about it. What are your thoughts on AI? Are
Speaker 6: you scared? Doesn't make you nervous? Do you think it's good?
Speaker 6: Let's discuss. We'll do it when we come back. It's
Speaker 6: the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club, study DJ Envy,
Speaker 6: Charlamagne to God. We are the Breakfast Club. If you
Speaker 6: just join us, we're talking about AI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know I played back a donkey of
Speaker 2: the day I did on April fourteenth, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: when I was warning people about AI.
Speaker 1: And you know, you see today there is an.
Speaker 2: Audio going around of Joe Biden where it says he's
Speaker 2: threatening the wage war on Texas with F fifteen fighter jets.
Speaker 1: That is AI.
Speaker 2: And then there's the principal, Eric Eysworth, who a racist
Speaker 2: rant came out and he's saying that was AI as well.
Speaker 2: So as I've always said, the lines between reality and
Speaker 2: what's not real have always been blurred because of social media,
Speaker 2: AI is about to obliterate them all together. And you
Speaker 2: know what, Envy, there's no turning back now. They have
Speaker 2: always told us, believe half of what you see and
Speaker 2: none of what you hear. I think nowadays you should say,
Speaker 2: don't believe anything until it's worthy of being believed. And
Speaker 2: we have to rely on our God given discernment more
Speaker 2: than ever. But I want to play something this morning.
Speaker 2: But okay, well I want to tell you this quote.
Speaker 2: The quote is you remember, anybody can say anything, anybody
Speaker 2: can write anything, but you got to practice discernment or
Speaker 2: intelligent evaluation. Well, I want all y'all intelligent evaluators to
Speaker 2: hear this. All right, this is Dean Phillips on the
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Listen, what could the Biden administration do to
Speaker 2: energize people and reverse what we've seen we've been seeing
Speaker 2: in the polls?
Speaker 1: If anything? And when I say administration, I mean him
Speaker 1: and the Vice president.
Speaker 28: Well, if they even can envy, I think you just
Speaker 28: hit the nail on the head. People have moved on.
Speaker 28: I don't think there's anything Joe Biden can do to
Speaker 28: change this.
Speaker 2: That was Dean Phillips on the Breakfast Club. He was
Speaker 2: there right there in I was sitting right here, No
Speaker 2: third co host was sitting there, and Dean Phillips was
Speaker 2: sitting right there, right there. Yeah, and he said that
Speaker 2: right now, listen to Dean Phillips talking to a Silicon
Speaker 2: Valley super Pac Listen.
Speaker 3: Why vote for you instead of Biden.
Speaker 28: I'm running because I believe it's time for a new
Speaker 28: generation of leadership. I respect President Biden, but the country
Speaker 28: is calling for change. I bring a unique blend of business,
Speaker 28: nonprofit and government experience that equips me to tackle the
Speaker 28: existential threats we face and the affordability crisis burdening Americans.
Speaker 28: I'm prepared to lead with a fresh perspective and a
Speaker 28: commitment to bipartisanship to truly address the challenges of our time.
Speaker 21: Are you AI?
Speaker 28: Yes, I'm a digital clone designed to share my political
Speaker 28: vision and policies, but I'm not the actual Dean Phillips.
Speaker 28: Let's focus on building a better America together.
Speaker 1: It's over.
Speaker 3: It's over.
Speaker 1: That was a I. Yes, he just heard them say
Speaker 1: he was AI. So I don't know what's really what's not?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That is my whole point. But this, this is the
Speaker 1: thing which is crazy that they did.
Speaker 6: That sounds the same to me. But now I want
Speaker 6: you to think about like this. Scientists build robots, right, yes,
Speaker 6: and what's going to happen is scientists.
Speaker 2: I saw every single artificial intelligence movie ends with the
Speaker 2: robots taking over and killing all the humans we cannot
Speaker 2: help ourselves, mutually assured destruction, or what I also like
Speaker 2: to call d head moment to. Okay, if you just
Speaker 2: let a d head go that diad le go go, go,
Speaker 2: go go, and that d head won't stop. Okay, trust me,
Speaker 2: I built up d head momentum quite a few times
Speaker 2: in my life.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is very scary.
Speaker 2: I mean to be honest with you, it is, but
Speaker 2: it isn't because I just understand what the end is
Speaker 2: going to be, and the end is mutually assured distruction.
Speaker 1: It's so many different ways.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: We could look at taking jobs, right, and I talk
Speaker 6: about this all the time. You remember as a kid,
Speaker 6: wherever you lived, there was a person that you had
Speaker 6: to pay a toll to. Whether it was crossing a
Speaker 6: bridge or going to a certain highway, you have to
Speaker 6: pay somebody. You don't see those people anymore. That's AI
Speaker 6: that took over that saying those jobs are done. Now
Speaker 6: you're looking at at what Tesla's doing with these self
Speaker 6: driving cars. You don't think, of a minute, all these
Speaker 6: bus drivers are gonna be self driving buses. They ain't
Speaker 6: gonna be no bus drivers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, I agree with all
Speaker 1: of that. I think all of that is terrible.
Speaker 2: But what I am concerned more about is some Orson
Speaker 2: Wells war the world stuff happening. And if you never
Speaker 2: if you never heard about Uston Wells wad the worlds,
Speaker 2: you should google it. But basically, it tells the story
Speaker 2: of a fictional radio person now back in the day,
Speaker 2: back in the early nineteen hundreds, because you know, radio
Speaker 2: was the only thing, and he basically told told his
Speaker 2: listeners that New Jersey was being attacked by aliens, and
Speaker 2: people believe it to the point where they started killing themselves,
Speaker 2: and you know, ryots broke out and all types of stuff.
Speaker 2: So imagine if for a world leader, you see a
Speaker 2: world leader on social media saying how he's about to
Speaker 2: send a nuclear weapon right, or he just launched one.
Speaker 1: Even worse, I just.
Speaker 2: I just launched the nuclear weapon to such as South
Speaker 2: America country days or Russia country days, trying to count
Speaker 2: ye whatever it is. Before any of these superpowers figure
Speaker 2: out what's real and what's not real, they might just
Speaker 2: get to launching the launching the newkes.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't know. We've never been here before,
Speaker 1: So don't say it can't happen. But let's go to
Speaker 1: the phone line. We got Hey, what's your name, Daryl?
Speaker 1: What's I'm doing?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 6: We're talking about AI. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 7: Brother?
Speaker 19: My thoughts on real quick menas that I think the
Speaker 19: AI is going to destroy it more than I.
Speaker 13: Could go back to health.
Speaker 19: But I remember putting too much faith in the hands
Speaker 19: of a computer, and I believe that is actually going
Speaker 19: to tear down the human race basically from the airside,
Speaker 19: because like White White Solomon.
Speaker 13: Said, it makes it more difficult to make belief of
Speaker 13: what's real and what's say, you know what I mean.
Speaker 13: And it just hurts us more than it's that's gonna
Speaker 13: help us. If you think about it, AI has more
Speaker 13: problems than a human does, and everybody is making a
Speaker 13: thing like that. I AI is making everything more easier.
Speaker 13: And if you look at it, AI has actually has
Speaker 13: more problems than a human ass because AI cannot, it
Speaker 13: cannot fix itself. You see what I'm saying, Like a
Speaker 13: human can, it can still If you understand, AI is
Speaker 13: the only program to do one thing, and that's to
Speaker 13: do whatever your program to do. It doesn't take fault
Speaker 13: for what it does and if it you know what
Speaker 13: I mean, Like, it's just it's hard to explain, but
Speaker 13: I think it's gonna hurt us more than what it's
Speaker 13: gonna help.
Speaker 2: You explain it it very well, my brother, I totally understand.
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you, brother.
Speaker 6: And the question is eight hundred and five eighty five
Speaker 6: one oh five. When we're talking AI this morning. I
Speaker 6: think it's a good thing. You think it's a bad thing.
Speaker 6: Let's discuss it's the breakfast come morning.
Speaker 4: Let's say if y'all talking about it, you know, we
Speaker 4: talking out it's topic times called eight hundred five five
Speaker 4: one five one to join into the discussion with the
Speaker 4: breakfast club.
Speaker 6: Morning everybody, it's dj n V Charlmagne to god, we
Speaker 6: are the breakfast club. If you're just joining us, we're
Speaker 6: talking AI. Charlemagne gave donkey to day to who's Charlamagne?
Speaker 2: Oh well, I flashed back to a donkey that I
Speaker 2: did last year on April fourteenth, twenty twenty three, and
Speaker 2: I just gave.
Speaker 1: A PSA a warning about the dangers of AI.
Speaker 2: And you know, today we saw a clip floating around
Speaker 2: of President Biden threatening the wage war on Texas with
Speaker 2: that fifteen to fight a jest.
Speaker 1: That's Ai.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a principal named Eric Eisworth who a
Speaker 2: racist rant came out about him when he's talking about
Speaker 2: blacks and Jewish people, and they're saying, NAT's Ai.
Speaker 1: So it's just like man, we.
Speaker 2: Already noticed as a presidential election year, not just here
Speaker 2: in America but also in South Africa, and we're really
Speaker 2: not going to be able to determine what's real and
Speaker 2: what's fake. Social media already blurred those lines, but AI
Speaker 2: is going to obliterate those lines all together.
Speaker 1: We have destiny on the line, destiny.
Speaker 15: Good morning, good morning to you, good morning, thank you
Speaker 15: for having me on.
Speaker 1: Yes, how are your destiny?
Speaker 15: I must speak with dj us peace to God first
Speaker 15: of all, to say peace to the gods, the God
Speaker 15: of all peace.
Speaker 1: Queen face, Now, what's your what's your thoughts on on AI? Mama?
Speaker 15: I believe it's good and bad, you know, but I
Speaker 15: didn't have a question on him. When charlatmage Guard said,
Speaker 15: you know, this could be AI speaking right now, and
Speaker 15: you paused. It seemed like you felt that that feeling.
Speaker 7: Of this ought to be bad.
Speaker 15: It could technical jobs and stuff and go Highway.
Speaker 29: What the for?
Speaker 1: Well, the pause was, yeah, I said that.
Speaker 2: That's why that's why I did the p s A
Speaker 2: last year and the warning of it, you know, last year.
Speaker 1: And that's why I played that back. Yeah. Absolutely, Charlemagne
Speaker 1: could be AI right now. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You don't even how you know. I don't know if
Speaker 2: a I can, I can't respond to you. How do
Speaker 2: you know how you know you're not talking to me?
Speaker 1: I don't even know that. Hell, I just said I
Speaker 1: don't know what you said either.
Speaker 15: That's a stragming shot. And Envy was like raid I
Speaker 15: was a pause and I'm like wow, but we rather
Speaker 15: regular people would rather Charlotte and the Garden be the
Speaker 15: Envy and Jeff anytime.
Speaker 2: Es I rather.
Speaker 3: Jack you just you need just back?
Speaker 2: What's just just just hilasgy Oh my good sister, Jess
Speaker 2: Oh okay, got you got you? You know she has
Speaker 2: a podcast on the Black Effect iHeart Radio podcast network
Speaker 2: called Carefully Reckless.
Speaker 1: New episode dropped yesterday. Is that really her talking on
Speaker 1: that episode? Or it might be might be Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: is this AI? Or is this Ashley?
Speaker 6: This is Ashley, good morning, we'll talking about AI.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts so I mean as.
Speaker 14: I was saying, I mean, I know it exists and
Speaker 14: I don't like it, but I mean, what can we
Speaker 14: do about it? Like I see it coming, Like my
Speaker 14: niece times and plays on my phone all the time
Speaker 14: with AI. And because I'm know this, it's not gonna
Speaker 14: be an issue, you know, I talked to her about it.
Speaker 14: But it's prevalent everywhere, like and what.
Speaker 15: Can we do about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean right, it makes everybody nervous. It makes
Speaker 1: me nervous. I will say that. We got Ariana on
Speaker 1: the line. Arianna, good morning, good morning, and v how
Speaker 1: you doing. I'm doing well. What's your thoughts for AI?
Speaker 30: I completely agree with Charlemagne. Is very dangerous, especially when
Speaker 30: it comes to politics, right because they can say anything
Speaker 30: and then.
Speaker 28: We believe it.
Speaker 30: Anyways, Also at my job, like Charla Maine said, don't
Speaker 30: trust not abody who used AI. They used the AI.
Speaker 30: At my job, we gotta leave voicemails, and the voicemails
Speaker 30: leave notes when I go, look look at my notes.
Speaker 30: I didn't say that, but the AI said I said it.
Speaker 30: That could possibly get me fired.
Speaker 1: Dang, that's great, But you know what, it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: scary about that.
Speaker 6: Could they use somebody's voice in the court of law, right,
Speaker 6: And how do you prove it's not your voice?
Speaker 1: Or how do you prove it is your voice?
Speaker 2: Yes, if they say, if they say we got him,
Speaker 2: this is the evidence we're presenting.
Speaker 6: He was on the phone, and they can say, well,
Speaker 6: I was Ai, that wasn't that wasn't real, And then
Speaker 6: how do you prove that it was real?
Speaker 1: Or how do you prove that it was fake?
Speaker 2: And you know the fact that because of social media,
Speaker 2: we've been console conditioned to, you know, believe feelings over facts,
Speaker 2: like you know, I guess why I was saying yesterday.
Speaker 2: Feelings aren't facts. Your feelings often lie to you. Your
Speaker 2: feelings are not a good judge of anything, like you know.
Speaker 2: And then there's another quote that I've seen where they say,
Speaker 2: you know, when facts become secondary to emotion, truth dies
Speaker 2: and a society that doesn't value truth cannot survive. I
Speaker 2: don't know if y'all know. We haven't valued truth in
Speaker 2: a long long time. What have I been saying for
Speaker 2: since I wrote my first book.
Speaker 1: Black Nobody cares about the truth and the lies more attention.
Speaker 1: That's right, So what does that say? What does that say,
Speaker 1: especially now with Ai.
Speaker 6: But you know what, people don't care about that statement
Speaker 6: until it happens to them, right, because the lie is
Speaker 6: more entertaining. So they they're entertained by what's funny, what
Speaker 6: makes them laugh, until it happens to them.
Speaker 1: Then it's not funny anymore. Yeah, that's why I laugh
Speaker 1: at everything. What's the moral of the story.
Speaker 2: The moral of the story is and pray for our
Speaker 2: good brother Alan Nobverson. Alan Iverson gotta be going through
Speaker 2: it every time he speaks to somebody.
Speaker 1: AI, it is you. Yeah, this is me. Hang up.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to no Ai. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson called back. Why you keep hanging up on me?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 1: Why you keep hanging up on me? You notice me?
Speaker 21: It's Ai?
Speaker 1: Click, hang it up again. I ain't talking to no Damn.
Speaker 1: AI know what I was thinking about though? Do you
Speaker 1: have the Boden the Biden audio? Can you play the
Speaker 1: Biden audio more time? When he talks about what if
Speaker 1: he was actually play it right? What right? Fast?
Speaker 11: Wanting to make sure those cowboys don't stop.
Speaker 6: Talking about the Dallas cowboys, making sure we have to
Speaker 6: stop the Dallas cowboys and if they don't stop me
Speaker 6: gonna sign send Fighter Jets to Texas to handle it.
Speaker 6: How you know you're talking about real cowboys and not
Speaker 6: the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2: What I just say, your feelings often lie to you.
Speaker 2: Envy's hate for the Dallas Cowboys. His feelings about the
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys is making him overlook the fact that that
Speaker 2: call is just simply not real, that that audio is
Speaker 2: simply not real. I'm thinking, but if I tell him
Speaker 2: right now who he's talking about, the Dallas Cowboys, he'll
Speaker 2: want to believe it.
Speaker 1: That is the problem, yo.
Speaker 2: That's why in the forty eight laws Power, which I
Speaker 2: read when I was a teenager, it says pray on people's.
Speaker 1: Need to believe to create a cult like follow up.
Speaker 1: Because I'm thinking he's from DC. Shut off, DC, shut up.
Speaker 1: We got past the coming up, so he said, we
Speaker 1: gotta handle them cowboys. I'm gonna send fighter just to
Speaker 1: make sure they don't make it to the next runt.
Speaker 1: All right, this is what I need.
Speaker 2: This is what I need, iHeart, this is what I need.
Speaker 2: I need a new third co host, and I need
Speaker 2: an AI DJ. Envy I don't need. I don't need
Speaker 2: real DJ mv no more. We can just get an
Speaker 2: AI DJ envy. I can program him and say what
Speaker 2: I need him to say, and then I need a
Speaker 2: third co host. Okay, all right, let's talk about that
Speaker 2: in the next meeting. How about I'm not real, we
Speaker 2: know this, so let's just get rid of you and
Speaker 2: your salary into an artificial intelligence envy.
Speaker 1: And get me a real third co host.
Speaker 6: We good, oh man, we got pastor orcs with Nola
Speaker 6: coming up next.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Owing everybody.
Speaker 6: It's DJ n V Charlamagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Time for pastors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, TJ comes.
Speaker 7: What Mom?
Speaker 1: Hey a t L NYLA y L A t L.
Speaker 1: You got a light jacket on? You got a T shirt?
Speaker 29: I brought two jackets today. Don't don't sleep the other
Speaker 29: ones over there with my stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know IFO iut like Atlanta and I don't
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: The feathered eyebrows just looking. I think I want to
Speaker 1: learn hard today. I used to got to be glue.
Speaker 1: That's okay, And you know where you got that from
Speaker 1: the guys in Atlanta. Not all the guys look quite
Speaker 1: a few I've been I'm looking at Browns the whole time.
Speaker 1: They look good, though, can we get a close up? Okay? Cool?
Speaker 29: Before I'm a excited, I guess we're gonna start with
Speaker 29: an Atlanta artist since we talk about Atlanta. Of course,
Speaker 29: they actually played twenty one Savage at their R and
Speaker 29: B night at Red Martini. It's a fire arm and
Speaker 29: B night, and I've been trying to DJ there, so
Speaker 29: I actually get my first start DJ in there this
Speaker 29: week on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I'm excited going back to Atlanta, going.
Speaker 21: Back to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's dead for the next she did for four
Speaker 1: more weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh really, she's filling in for Jojo on a Big
Speaker 2: Homie Big homiees and Jojo Jojo.
Speaker 1: Yes, So what are you doing Fridays? What do they
Speaker 1: do with Friday?
Speaker 29: They're not on Friday. It's mix show, Okay, all right,
Speaker 29: don't worry, it's all situation anyway, This twenty one Savage
Speaker 29: album was playing in there, and I thought it was
Speaker 29: a vibe. So my favorite record off the project is
Speaker 29: Red Rope.
Speaker 2: They said Violent Crime and Atlanta dropped during twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: That's hard for me to believe they're playing Red Run
Speaker 2: at an R and B at night?
Speaker 1: How would you be playing?
Speaker 29: Played the one where Brett Fairez. But after I heard
Speaker 29: that one, it made me want to go and.
Speaker 1: Listen to the whole Oh you ain't saying it.
Speaker 29: Also, by the way, the intro to the song is
Speaker 29: hell of cinematic and R and B is so they
Speaker 29: could have gone off with that cinematic generation.
Speaker 1: What kind of R and B song? He didn't he
Speaker 1: read runs clicking.
Speaker 2: Boy, That's why y'all be catching hell with these men
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, because it's because y'all telling them
Speaker 2: this is this is cinematic romantic guns clicking.
Speaker 1: I thought that Nigga said something.
Speaker 21: With romance.
Speaker 29: But speaking of romance, I think this is a record
Speaker 29: you guys would be able to appreciate. It's a song
Speaker 29: by Braxton Cook called Nineties. It's the remixed feature in Joyce, Rice.
Speaker 1: And massego Okay, we like he said, love Me Like
Speaker 1: the Nineties and even.
Speaker 29: Like the intro of the record, it has an audio
Speaker 29: clip from the movie Love Joke.
Speaker 1: That's wine. Yeah, love Me Like the Nineties, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
Speaker 29: Yes, shout out to Braxton Cook for that one. He's
Speaker 29: actually a saxophone play more musician should drop music. But
