Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Everybody is j Nvyess, Hilarry is Charlamagne the guy.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Now some quick sports.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
The NBA approves the sale of the Boston Celtics. Now
it's saying it's gonna be going for six point one
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, that's about right. That's that's crazy that. I just
don't know how these people make money.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But I guess it's a long term investment, right, Like
over time, I guess you will make your money back,
or maybe you'll sell it again in another decade or
fifteen years for double that.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I don't freaking know no more, man, I don't know.
That's a lot of money, A lot of money, a
lot of a lot of money. What's up, Morgan?
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Hey, y'all. Hey, So let's get into it.
Speaker 10 (05:50):
So first on front page, President Trump is congratulating his
administration over the crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Now.
Speaker 10 (05:57):
Yesterday, Trump said DC will soon be quote crime. I'm
free with the National Guard, troops and federal officers on
the streets, adding Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Will be cleaned up. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
We're going to make Washington beautiful. We're going to redo roads.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
We're going to redo the medians, the pavers, then the
medians all throughout the city.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We're going to take all the graffitio. If we're going
to have to remove the tents.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
So, the President also said that crime stats compiled by
local police for the nation's capital were fraudulent, and he
insists the numbers are much higher than what was previously reported. Meanwhile,
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is speaking out following President Trump's
threat to his city to deploy National Guards to Chicago
to fight crime. Now, Johnson called the President one of
the biggest threats to humanity excuse me, and said that
(06:44):
we've seen an entire humanity that we've seen in this
entire generation.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Now.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
He said that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to
deploy National Guard troops, and he also called on the
President to reinstate funding for community violence programs. Let's take
a listen to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's response to President
Trump's threat.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So we take these threads seriously.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
We would not bowel down or scumb to his tyrant rage.
And here for you guys.
Speaker 10 (07:12):
In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams wade in on
the controversy this week, saying he welcomes federal help to
lower crime and wash in New York City. Excuse me,
but he says, what's happening right now in Washington, d C.
Is not something that they need to happen in New
York now, he said, now, if they want to help,
they can help cracking help with cracking down on people
getting a hold of automatic weapons, while mentioning the Las
(07:35):
Vegas man who came to New York and killed four
people inside that Manhattan office building. So again I'll continue
to keep you guys posted on what's happening in d
C with this Trump takeover and these federal authorities supposedly
cracking down on crime in the streets.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
So that's your front piece.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I am for doing things to combat crime, but you
are not truly combating crime if you aren't addressing the
social and economic factors that contribute to crime. I'm gonna
keep saying that give these kids something to do, trade schools,
steam programs, job fairs, better mental health services, make the
schools better, like, you know, give these kids something to do,
Provide them some type of opportunity so they don't turn
(08:13):
the crime to begin with. And the fact that's ride
on mind is always gonna be the devil's playgrounds. So
when you've got these kids that come from, you know,
certain environments, they're pouring disenfranchise, they're gonna turn the crime
if they don't have anything positive to do.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's how you make a real investment in the community.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And it's a long term investment because to me, this
is just a temporary, you know, solution for what has
been a permanent problem in our.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Society, which is poor, which is poverty.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That's right, Well, thank you Morgan, everybody else, get it
off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh
five one. If you need to vent, phone lines to
wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
five to one.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, wake up,
wake up, wake up? Asks if you're time to get
it off your chest because of your man or blessed,
we want to hear from you on the breakfast glove. Hello.
Who's this?
Speaker 12 (09:05):
Good morning? Breakfast Club?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Good morning? Why are you sexy?
Speaker 12 (09:11):
I'm not trying to sound sexy. This is your friendly
friend Nicole Wallace from Saint Louis. Hopefully you guys remember me.
My birthday is the.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Same day as the shelf, December.
Speaker 12 (09:26):
December six.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Do not know yet?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
I do.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The who is happening? We love you? What's happening? What's up? Mama?
Speaker 12 (09:38):
Okay, well, let me not be rude. I'm gonna say
good morning again, dj Envy. I'm calling from the Saint
Louis metro area and I was wondering with your car shows.
Will you ever come this way? Or are we too
far away?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Probably not.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I think you guys might be a little too far
The problem with the car show is I always say
getting the cars to markets out side of the East
Coast and south it's pretty difficult because it's very expensive
to get those cars down there. But we're working on
sponsorship in those area in the Midwest and West Coast,
so hopefully we can bring it down there. Like I said,
I don't charge that much for the car show, so
it's not like we're making a huge profit, so getting
(10:15):
the cars down there is difficult. But I would love
to go to Saint Louis. I think that'll be cool
and maybe roping Nelly and Sexy Red and some of
the local artists down there and get some of their carts.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I just think it'll be great. But you know, we're trying.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
We try to do two three markets a year, and
maybe Saint Louis will be on the next year of
the year after hopefully.
Speaker 12 (10:31):
Well it's wondering for next year. How can one become
a vendor?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
All you have to do is just you can email
Mercedes Walker Woo's my general and assistant Djmvcar Show at
gmail dot com.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But next week we'll be in Jersey.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Next year we're definitely doing the Carolina's because so many
people from South Carolina, North Carolina come in all the
time and they want me to do it. So but
hopefully we can get down there and thank you for
checking in and asking.
Speaker 12 (10:57):
Okay, one more question.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Hold on, give them Mercedes email again. Twelve sneaker at Gmail.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
She'll shut up. It's dj M because you at gmail
dot com.
Speaker 12 (11:07):
Oh, okay, one more question, Charlemagne. My sister Katie Odie,

Speaker 3 (11:25):

I'm gonna look though.
Speaker 12 (11:28):

writer and the book is so funny and Jeff, with
you being a professional comedian, I promise you you're gonna laugh.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Thank you for checking in. Mama, get it off your chest.
Eight hundred and five eight five one oh five one.
If you need to vin hit us up now. It's
the Breakfast Club good morning.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The Breakfast Club. We want to hear from you on
the Breakfast Cloud. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Good morning? This is James Calls from North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
James James from the Carolina. What's up, brother?
Speaker 7 (12:11):
What's going on with you?
Speaker 13 (12:12):
Man?
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Uh? I just wanted to get it off my chest
about these customer service workers or gas station attendance and
whatnot when they're on their jobs. If y'all are, if
you're anybody out there that's sending them jobs, they're listening now.
If you when you're on your job, man, leave your
attitude at home and don't be on your phone with
personal calls and whatnot. And some of them have to
(12:35):
learn to look at you like you bothering them when
they're the ones on the clock. I didn't the part
of that job you did.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Like you, all you're trying to do is going there
and get your little you know, gas station pills. You
know what I mean, you little horny goat weed, you
little power then and now that's all you're trying to do.
You just kind of go in there and get your
little your little package, and they bother.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They're bothering you, right, But you've got you got to
understand too.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Sometimes they got to deal with a lot of us
crazy people with a lot of different attitudes. So sometimes
what we do affect them as well.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
That's that's all. Find a dandy. But if a person
who's being cordial and nice to you, you don't take
that out on him, right.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
But you know a lot of people that go in
there to buy like them gas stations, pills like the
extends and stuff, they be having an attitude because they
think that the person behind the county is judging them
when they buy this stuff for their erectile dysfunction.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Right, So I understand your pain, yo, you I don't
buy any of that. We see where Charlamage gets it from.
A right, thank you? Brother. Hello, who's this Hi?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
My name is Christina.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Hey Christina, to get it off your chest, mama, okay, Hi.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well good morning. By the way, I'm on a freeway
dround stuff work. But I was calling regarding what charvel
Man was talking about with children needing something to do
far as educational or pre schools and things like that, Well,
what I personally believe is you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
These kids do.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Need something to do with the cost of inflation. They
see their parents struggling and stuff like that. What are
what are they to do? Just watch a parents struggle,
get kicked out of their place, their house or whatever
like that. Food is high, everything is triple or devil.
You know, it doesn't make any sense. Like we really
need our representatives, are state representatives in Congress, to actually
get out there and fight for the youth, because who
(14:20):
are the future? You know, they are the future?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Who is the future?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
No, I'm sorry, I'm a free way.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
No, I'm with you. Get you know exactly what you're saying.
Just quote Whitney Houston.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I believe that children are the future Easton Well and
let them lead the way.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But but I will say this, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
We have to make having a job cool again because
there's a lot of businesses out there, if you ask,
they're looking for employees, and a lot of people don't
want to work. They feel like the job is beneath
them and it's not cool to work. You know, all
of us up here has worked, you know, a job
that we only got paid minimum wage. But we did
it to help our family or to help ourselves. I
didn't did tell of marketing, and I worked at the
US Open Charlamage worked, I think, and Wendy's for a Day,
(14:56):
Minco Belle.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Taco Bell for a day so much better. But I
also so up crack.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But let me tell you something, right, people, people do
need a job. But what we gotta do is really
invest into these kids' futures. That's why I keep spressing
strage trade schools. We need to have steam programs. You
need to have job theres.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You got to implement things that these kids are going
to be able to use long term.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Like that's the real investment that needs to happen in
our community.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Also, fair way is because some of the places they're
you know, they're they're still hiring a wage that's not Liverpool.
You know, everything like I said, high, very high expensive.
You know, and my mortgage is expensive, but my property
textes is expensive. When you're a young when you're in
the youth and you're watching your parents struggle, you know,
and food is really high. Everything is just gone up ridiculously,
(15:46):
and you know it's sad. It's sad. In trade school,
I feel like it is important.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
The kids give them some but insensive to look forward to,
so when they do get older, they can't like reach
out to that the youth wants again and let it
be a trick on downa tex.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That's right because it's that trade school and steam programs.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And that's why I'm saying anybody that's talking about combating crime,
if you're not addressing the social and economic factors that
contribute to crime, then you're not really serious about it.
You can set all the police you want into these areas,
but these kids, it's gonna be us never ending cycle
because you're still not doing anything to keep these kids
from turning into a.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Life of crime.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, that's right, and let me salute to lincdn Tech.
Lincoln Tech is a trade school all over the country.
You should definitely check them out if you're thinking about it.
They got automotive, they have weld, and they have electrical,
they have HVAC and now they have the new CDC
program where they can actually build things out of nothing.
So check out Lincoln Tech. That's why I support Lincoln
Tech so much.
Speaker 14 (16:41):
Where's Lincoln Tech?
Speaker 9 (16:42):
Yo?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
They have them everywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
They got them in Jersey, they got them in Maryland,
they got them in the South, they got them in Texas, Atlanta,
They're all over the country. Get it off your chest
eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
you need the vent, you could definitely give us a call. Now, Lauren,
you got the other ladies coming up.
Speaker 9 (16:57):

Speaker 15 (16:58):
Cardi B is talking about jay Z clearing imaginary players
and what that process is like.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
So she is sampling imaginary players Charlamae correct.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
He did behind the scenes.
Speaker 15 (17:19):
Yeah, but she she's talking a bit about the process,
and you know, some people are like, should she do it?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Should she not?
Speaker 9 (17:24):

Speaker 2 (17:27):

Speaker 9 (17:51):

Speaker 2 (17:54):
She'd be having the Latest on the Latest with Lauren
La Rosa sad. Sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
a little bit of every time, it's the latest on
the breakfast club to me.
Speaker 15 (18:06):
All right, y'all, So we are going to get into
Cardi B and all the things, but really quickly before
we go there, I did want to send a congratulations
to Beyonce talking about women in music. Beyonce won her
first Emmy Award this week for her Netflix special Beyonce Ball,
which was the concert she did at Christmas and on
Christmas in Texas that streamed on Netflix. And this puts

They haven't they haven't actually come on yet. This was
the juried Emmy. So the way that the juried Emmys
are set up, there's like a pan or a group
of people who are like her peers or professionals that
get together, they vote, and then they make a decision.
But she is nominated for two other categories, so she
won uh the Emmy for Outstanding Costumes for Variety Non
Fiction and Reality Programming, And so basically the Look.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Within the Netflix special.
Speaker 15 (19:02):
Okay, yeah, because she she was listed. You know, she's
been listed as executive producer and also his live performer.
But she's also nominated for Outstanding Variety Special Live and
she's also nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special.
So how this goes is the jury Emmys. Like I said,
they sit down, they have a conversation, they vote, and
then they make a decision. That's the first Emmy that
(19:23):
she has, but the additional Emmys will come on and
they'll actually stream. So it takes place in la at
the Peacock Theater Saturday, September sixth and Sunday, September seventh.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Well, you learn something new every day. Beyonce got her
own Emmy.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Yeah, anybody else submitted like that.
Speaker 15 (19:39):
Yeah, so it's not just for They didn't make it
just for Beyonce. This happens all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I can't tell my narrative sound better. The Emmy's got
the Oh, Beyonce got her own Emmy, Harriet.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
She got her own internet. It's Beyonce's Internet, Beyonce's Emmys.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
And surely works hard. Yeah, she works very hard. I
saw some ways that she before she did this sore. No,
before she did the Renaissance store, she broke her knee
something like that. It was like a knee injury. She
had to have surgery on her knee. I'm sorry. Yeah,
she didn't break carney, but she had to have surgery
on her knee. This was before the Renaissance tour. So man,
she definitely works very hard.
Speaker 15 (20:09):
Yeah, And there was that video member she was taking
a picture with. I believe it was uh I Forget,
which one of the former Dusty Child members, But they
came to the tour with their kids and she sat
she'd been down and was.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
Like, oh my knee. And people was like, God, please
don't take Beyonce from us.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
We need the need. Yeah, I mean it can only
be La Toyatavia.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, it was a Toya his knees.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
But yeah, so congratulations to Beyonce.
Speaker 15 (20:34):
I did want to go there because then we were
about to talk about Cardi B. So Cardi B, we've
been talking about Imaginary Players, which is a seeing what
she has coming off of her new album that'll be
here soon, the new album, am I the Drama Now,
she talked about jay Z because a lot of people
were trying to figure out would this be a sample
of jay Z's Imaginary Players, which we confirmed in the room,
(20:54):
and Cardi B is now talking about her experience with
cleaning the record and people taking a listen.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Early it was.
Speaker 17 (20:59):
A lot of pop pads in the building and they
heard Imaginary Players and they absolutely love it.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
And I was so.
Speaker 17 (21:06):
Happy because I don't think you guys understand the song
is kind of long.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
This song is like a staple for me that.
Speaker 17 (21:13):
Have to get it approved by you want and only,
And if he didn't approve it, I probably would even
feel a certain type of way neither, because it would
have been like, Okay, maybe I just had to come
a little bit harder. But I'm glad that I came
hard and love it and everybody else love it. And
somebody came up to me and they said, I'm not
even gonna lie when you announce that you was doing
(21:36):
Imagining Players. I was a little nervous, but you you
ate that, And I was like, hey.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
If jay Z didn't like it, wouldn't have gotten clear.
So so I'm very interested in hearing it.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
On the front two. I am too.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
I'm so excited and I love the way that naturally.
I mean, I feel like Carti is, she's becoming at
the queens of like rollout. She has like her visuals
all the time and the photos and all that. Yes,
but I love that this feels like a rollout. But
I also loved that I feel like we're experiencing seeing
the dropping of the songs and the experience of her
getting things sampled in real time with her, like she's
going through it, she's getting online talking about it. It's
(22:07):
very like how Cardy is. It feels like we're going
along the journey of the album with her. So I
love that feeling as well. But Cardi also.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Say though, if if the song isn't good, then not
only are they gonna get at Cardi, they gonna get
that jay Z too for signing off.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Yes, very much so well. But I think I.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Think, like she said, if he didn't, if he didn't
sign off on it right, then she would feel like,
all right, I had to come harder. So she might have, man,
there might be some some some fire.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
Some buds she dropped. She might go crazy on it.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It's actually harder for you know, people my age, people
born in the nineteen hundreds to hear that record because
we've grown up on imaginary players. Imaginary players is so
much a part of our DNA. So I got to
get that out of my head. Completely, wash that off
my palette that taken a Cardi on Friday.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I think people hold
onto her.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yes, I know if you were more than nine hundred
and seven years.
Speaker 15 (22:57):
I don't mean I get it because I'm as old
as you. I meant that I got it because I
get that. You know that, y'all you hold on to
your things, like your prices, And how do you sedet.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
There thinking about that one?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
You got that off?
Speaker 9 (23:15):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 15 (23:16):
Well next, speaking of people and potential backlash with Cardi B,
Cardi B also talked about on a late night Twitter
spaces Tyler. She defended Tyler because Tyler has been undertand
scrutiny recently.
Speaker 17 (23:27):
Let's tay a listen, whether I speak or not, people
are gonna talk.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Look at Tyler.
Speaker 17 (23:33):
People been dragging this out of Tyler and it's like
the girl don't even address or talk about nothing. I'm
starting to feel that people just don't like celebrities. The
only way that people like celebrities if you don't say
nothing at all, and they beat your energy, they beat
your confidence.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
They beat you to the ground.
Speaker 17 (23:54):
To be honest with you, I don't even know the
hate about it because I never really got into the
details of why of what is the real hardcore thing? However,
all I do know is every single time I scrolled
down on my TikTok, there's a video of her and
people are talking and it's like, damn.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
What do you guys want her?
Speaker 9 (24:14):
What do you want her to do? Cut her veins
like enough, That's.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Exactly what they want. Body, they want blood, That's exactly
what they want. Because people are sitting at home and
their lives are miserable, so they always want to defficate
on somebody who looks like they're loving their life.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
But what the hell did Tyler to do?
Speaker 15 (24:30):
So, you know, the ethnicity conversation and that whole thing
when she called herself a colored woman. Yes, and even
in like the art because.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Very much heavy.
Speaker 15 (24:40):
So she's releasing music and trying to, you know, move
on with her life and when things don't do well.
A lot of people right now having a conversation about
if those comments are the reason why she's not translating
especially hearing the when she she put out a project
go ahead.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
But even when she had like her brandal, like she
had a brand deal with what's the headphone?
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Staying at the beats? They all up under that.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
They get like her rollout for beats like it was
everybody's comments, like they swarm her with just hate because.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
She won't speak directly to clarifying what she meant.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
But she.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
That, that's that's what Carty is talking about. Though they
keep they keep saying it.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Yeah, they're still running with it, like she hasn't explained.
Speaker 15 (25:21):
So and she put out a mixtap called WWP, but
people just been having a conversation about like how well
the music is or isn't sticking like you acts like,
oh she put out music and at one point Tyler
was when her music dropped, you felt the songs like
you knew she was everywhere on the radio.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
She was everywhere.
Speaker 15 (25:37):
But people are basically saying that now you know, fans
are just not feeling it as much as she was
so beloved when she first came out.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I do know, hit records are hard, right, like like
she had that hit record water that's hard to do again,
That's why the people like to Beyonce or the the
Taylor Swift, they get the Rihanna's, they get celebrated because
they've had multiple hits, the Drinks of the World, the Kindred.
When you're able to create multi sizza, multiple hits over
years and.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Years, that's hard to do. But maybe she just don't
have a hit.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
But but her music is good.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
It's just that when you put that on top of
somebody not liking you because you say like it.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Hit records transcend all that they put in people folks
don't like, but they come out with a hit record.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
A good record don't mean it's a hit record. It's
a difference.
Speaker 15 (26:22):
I will say, though, I think people just like a
narrative with Tyler because she has a song with I
was trying to look what the name is with whiz
Kids called Dynamite. I believe it's off of WWP and
people people love that song. But I think it's just
it depends on who you're talking to. TikTok and different
people and a lot of online conversations.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is it a top ten, top five, number one on Billboard?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That's what I'm saying. When you got an undeniable bop.
That's exactly. It's undeniable. Yeah, and nothing to stop an
undeniable bot.
Speaker 15 (26:52):
I'm trying to see I was trying to see what
Maye bill board from the the mixtape, but I don't
have it right now. So yes, that's in wrapping up
out to Tyler many y'all are Dave bruff on her hair?
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Shut up to Tyler.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Listen, we got front page news coming up next with
Morgan Woods. It's the World's most Dangerous moring short to
Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Everybody's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarrys, Charlamagne the God we are
to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Let's get in some front page news. What up Morgan?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Hey ya hey, so let's get into it.
Speaker 10 (27:18):
In international affairs, President Trump says his virtual meeting with
Ukrainian President Zelensky was a ten.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
He said that he'd rate.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
The call that also included Vice President Vance and European allies,
and the call came prior to his summit with Russian
President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska. Trump again said
the Ukraine Russia war is not his and it belongs
to President Biden, but he said he'll impose severe penalties
on Russia. If Putin won't agree to a deal, let's
(27:46):
take a listen to President Trump's plan to end the conflict.
Speaker 11 (27:49):
If the first one goes okay, we'll have a quick
second one.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I would like to do it almost immediately.
Speaker 11 (27:56):
And we'll have a quick second meeting between President and
President Zolynski and myself if they'd like to have me there.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Yeah, so again.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
Zelensky has said that Ukraine will not give up any
territory to Russia, and it will not give up trying
to gain NATO membership. Now, Russia has demanded Ukraine give
up land to reach the deal to end the war.
A President Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin will
not be diving into issues surrounding territory, and European leaders confirmed.
President Trump assured them of his plans during the meeting
(28:27):
with Ukrainian President Zelenski. Now, according to reports from the
Raw Street Journal, Trump told leaders he would negotiate territorial
issues or excuse me, he would not negotiate territorial issues
as that matter when he meets with Putin on Friday
in Alaska. So their territory and all that movement of
land and all of that.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Stuff is off the table as of right.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Now, then it should be.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
You know, if Trump can't stop any of these wars,
it really shows how weak America has looked at on
the global stage. Like he couldn't stop Israel from waging
war on you know, Gazla, which I don't think they
want that to stop. And if he can't stop the
Ukraine you know, Russia war. You know, it really is
another campaign promise that he did not keep. He said
that he was going to stop all of these wars
(29:09):
immediately on day one. He actually said these wars wouldn't
happen if he was in office, you know. So, so
if he can't stop any of these wars, it really
shows how weak America is looked at on the global stage.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Now, all right now, so switching gears.
Speaker 10 (29:21):
The Texas Senate approved the new congressional maps Tuesday in
an effort to give Republicans more seats in the House
of Representatives. Now, the district maps still needs to be
approved by the Texas State House, which has been in
a standstill since Democrats left the state to protest that move. Now,
nine Senate Democrats walked out yesterday to protest what they
called a corrupt process. The effort to redraw the maps
(29:43):
came on the at the request of President Trump. Now,
a special session in the Texas Legislature now ends on Friday.
Brough Republicans are not giving up their plan to redraw
those congressional boundaries. House Speaker Dustin Burroughs says the governor
is committed to calling as many special sessions as needed
to pass redistricting. Let's take a listen to House Speaker
(30:03):
Dustin Burrows.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
If we still do not have quorum on Friday, the
a Governor will immediately issue a proclamation for a second
called special session. He is committed to calling us back
again and again and again until our work is done.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Interesting fact about these special sessions. They cost apparently the
state more than one million dollars when you factor in
lawmaker pay security and electricity for the Capitol building. So
if that's paid out to the legislature's operating budget budget,
meaning there is less cash for other things. So and
of course this comes as a report says Democrats are
(30:40):
actually prepared to return to Texas over the weekend because
that special session ends on Friday, So we'll see what
comes of that. Remember, they're supposed to be facing fines
and possible arrests and things of that nature. So we'll
see what happens as those Dems supposedly return back to
Tech for this congressional map.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
And this is this is my last story back in DC.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Back in Washington, DC, and man is facing federal charges
after throwing a substyle, hokey style sandwich at customs at Ice,
basically Customs and Border Protection agents who were patrolling with
Metro Transit police on Sunday. His name is Sean Dunn,
and he's seen in a viral video approaching the officer
while saying they are not wanted in d C. After
(31:25):
several minutes of confrontation of him being in his face
and cursing and saying some other thing, Done then hits
the officer in the chest with the sandwich. Now, he
then took off running and it seems like they caught.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
Up with him.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
He was later arrested and admitted to the incident of
being processed. Done has not yet entered a plea, and
a court record show no attorney listed for his defense.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
And I just want to say, they're saying, Man, what
kind of sandwich was it?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
You stupid?
Speaker 10 (31:52):
There is a subway nearby though, so it But I
just want to say this to people who don't know.
You know, a lot of people have these state laws
and things like that, DC is always just the fits.
I'm gonna just go ahead and put it out there
like that. If you want to come to DC, just
understand that you're going to always be dealing on a
federal level, So everything in terms of charges is going
(32:13):
to be amplified. You can't come out here and do something,
you know, and and break the law and it's going
to be an easy task.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
I'll just say that, even.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
Parking tickets can tend to be a little difficult. So
for someone who is coming into d C. To the
Mayor's point, as she said earlier this week.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Just follow the laws.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
That's all I said.
Speaker 10 (32:32):
So that's what I'm Morgan Wood. You can follow me
on socials at Morgan Media. For more news coverage, follow

Speaker 9 (32:41):
Thank y'all and be safe.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
All right now, when we come back, we have the
president and CEO of MECKISIC and MCKISIC, the nation's oldest
minority in women own design and construction firm. Cheryl mckizick Daniel,
we'll be talking to her. She has a new book out,
so don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Everybody is sej and jes hilarious.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Long Rosa is here with us as well, and we
got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
The new book is out right now.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
The Black Family who built America, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
She's back. Cheryl mckissic Daniel.
Speaker 14 (33:14):
Welcome, Thank you, thank you, to see you.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Good to see you too.
Speaker 14 (33:18):
You look younger.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I love that.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
Love that.
Speaker 14 (33:23):
Okay, whatever he's doing, I need some of that.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
So for people that didn't hear when you came up
here last time but didn't read the book yet, explain
what your family has done for this country, the Black
family who built America. Break it down from your great
great grandfather, how he started and where it came from.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Moses, Moses McKissick. That's right, okay.
Speaker 18 (33:42):
So let me start with saying I am the proud
CEO of a fifth generation business in America, and I
know Charlemagne keeps calling it seven generations.
Speaker 14 (33:52):
He's just calling in the girl behind me and her.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Children, my grand she was one of the producers.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Like it's fifth.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
Because that's what it's going to be, right, it's manifesting.
Speaker 18 (34:06):
So we date back two hundred and thirty years in
this country, uh, starting with the first descent of our family,
Moses mciswick the first, who came to this country in
seventeen ninety as a slave and was taught to trade
of making brick. His son was Moses McKissick the second,
and he was a master carpenter, and he actually started
(34:30):
in North Carolina, but he was given as a gift
to the Cheers family in Nashville, Tennessee spring Hill, And
so that's when the mcisicks moved from North Carolina to Tennessee.
Speaker 14 (34:43):
He had seven girls.
Speaker 18 (34:45):
And then seven boys, and his first son is Moses
mckizick the third and his brother Calvin, and they became
the first black licensed architects in America. They were known
because they traveled off through the Northeast and the South.
They built over six thousand churches, They built thirteen fourteen
(35:08):
historically black colleges, all the colleges, all the buildings at
Fisk University are pretty much designed by Calvin and Moses mckiswick.
Maharry Medical School, Tennessee State University, what's the one that tusky?
(35:29):
And so they worked all through the South. They also
got an opportunity to go to Haiti and work with
paper Papa Doc and then over to Africa.
Speaker 14 (35:39):
So these men were very innovative.
Speaker 18 (35:43):
And the company was then passed down to my father,
William de Barry mckiswick. And so now we're four generations
in if you haven't lost count.
Speaker 14 (35:54):
And then the.
Speaker 18 (35:55):
Company was passed down to my mother, who was a
fierce leader by herself, and then eventually I stepped in
and took over the company as the fifth generation.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You know what I love about that?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
And I joke with my kids all the time, right
and I said, you know, when I passed, I said,
I'm gonna leave all everything. I said, but there's one
thing that I need And I said, I want to
put a family portrait of me and my wife in
the house. And they said, well why, I said, a
lot of times in our family we forget about grandfather's
great grandfathers and what they've established and brought to us,
(36:26):
because it's like.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Time moves so fast, especially so the fact that you.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Can break down all that you know, your kids will
be able to break down that down. Your grandkids will
be able to break that down. And that's something that
I feel like we miss. You know, when people pass,
you know, we're sad and then we.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Forget about it.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
But these are the people that started our lives, started
generational wealth. We talk about all the time, and I
feel like, especially in black families, we should have that,
we should know, Like I don't know my great grandfather.
I don't know much about them because my grandfather didn't
talk about it and my parents didn't talking about them.
But it's one of those things. It's like we move on.
And I love the fact that that is so built
(37:06):
into your family that y'all keep talking about it, You
keep mentioning, and you keep talking about the great things
that your family has done.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I love that.
Speaker 18 (37:14):
You know, what you just said is so powerful. But
it's so easy to record what's happening in your family.
Just do a family tree. Just start a family tree
with the individuals that you do know. I remember being
like nine or ten years old, my mother said, look
at this, we just found the family tree and I'm like,
(37:36):
I was fascinated by it. So that was the beginning
of me really trying to get this story out. I
remember taking that family tree to my father's office and
turning it.
Speaker 14 (37:47):
Into a real structural plan. I mean it was like
as huge.
Speaker 18 (37:54):
As a blueprint for a building because it dated back
to my great great grandfather.
Speaker 14 (38:01):
But I kept losing it.
Speaker 18 (38:04):
I mean I totally redid it, beautiful print and everything.
Speaker 14 (38:09):
You can't find it.
Speaker 18 (38:11):
So now when it's time to do the book, I'm like, well,
the one thing we need is a family treat because
people are getting lost in the shuffle of.
Speaker 14 (38:17):
Reading all of this.
Speaker 18 (38:19):
So a couple of weeks ago, I go visit my
mother and I'm cleaning out one of her George and bam, the.
Speaker 14 (38:25):
Original one I saw the very beginning. That's God. And
so what I would say to.
Speaker 18 (38:32):
Everyone is just start writing it down and have someone responsible.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
To keep it. Let them crack it.
Speaker 18 (38:40):
That is why we ended up giving a lot of
our artifacts to the African American Museum on the Mall
because I kept losing the original license. Well, you put
them in your office, you know, actually restore them, and
we make replicas of the license and of the pictures
and things like that. But then when it comes time
(39:02):
when you move, you're like, oh my god, where is it?
I told Chan my pr consult, I said, Chan, I
am tired of losing this. What are we gonna do?
We're gonna give it to the museum and they will
keep it forever. And so that's that's important that you know,
we keep up with our family legacy because everyone has one.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
And you see what all the time with you know
when you see white people like they do it all
the time, right, like love him, I hate him. You
know who Donald Trump's father is, right? You know who
Donald Trump's grandfather is, right, because he talks about him
all the time. You hear the story about his father
that gave.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Him a millionaire. You hear those stories.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
But a lot of the great great grandparents that you
end up losing track of your father and your grandparents.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
That's easy because that's generate.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Trump's son and Trump's grandson will always know about the
grandfather that gave Donald Trump the million dollars to start
his somebody, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
But you know those stories always talk because you hear
about the stories, and we need talk about hours more.
Speaker 15 (40:01):
I think It's a little different for us too, because
like when my grandmother, she always talks about how like
they weren't they didn't keep records or things because they
just it wasn't something that was normal in the household,
Like you didn't have pictures of certain people, you didn't,
so then.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
That gets passed down. It's just something you don't know
to do.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Also with black people, they didn't care about us enough
to give us our records, records.
Speaker 18 (40:19):
They threw them out, throw them out, but they didn't care.
But I still think you can find it. It's just
genealogy and getting the genealogists to help you, you know,
go through it. I mean we went back well with
Nick Childs. We went back to spring Hill, Tennessee, and
went through records of you know, the slaves that were
actually working on the mckisick house and the Cheers house,
(40:44):
and there were records, you know. I mean they try
to erase them, but they can't. I mean they're graves.
So I think everyone can contract their family history.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Still kicking it with Cheryl mckizick, Daniel the president and
CEO of MRE and McKissick. Now that's the nation's oldest
minority in women owned design and construction firm. She has
a new book out right now, Charlemagne.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
When I read this book and I see how this
empire started in the eighteen hundreds, it reminds me of
how resilient Black people are. Yeah, we can navigate our
way through anything. So it gave me a sense of hope,
especially for the.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Times that we're in now. Has it always given you
that sense of that?
Speaker 18 (41:23):
Yeah, I mean, you know, if you think about it,
one in five businesses fail the first year. Sixty five
percent fell in ten years, and the average family business
only lasts twenty four years. Now, the chances for a
family business to pass down to a second generation, it's
(41:43):
like sixty percent.
Speaker 14 (41:45):
The chances of.
Speaker 18 (41:46):
It pass into a third is fourteen And I mean
to a third is fourteen percent, and to a fourth
generation is three percent. So here we are at five generations.
I think what we do in the book is we
make a case as to how the Mechusics were able
to do that, and it goes all the way back
(42:07):
to slavery. So slavery was different in every state, you know,
like North Carolina was probably the most lenient of slaves
at the time. Compared to let's say Alabama and some other.
Speaker 14 (42:21):
States South Carolina, South.
Speaker 18 (42:23):
Carolina, and really it's because they didn't have as many
of the huge plantations. Slave masses have more like twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen slaves. So the slaves were more like extended family.
They weren't really they didn't have to be.
Speaker 14 (42:39):
Suppressed because just think about it.
Speaker 18 (42:41):
We went to spring Hill, Tennessee, and we saw a
plantation where there was a family of five people, but
there were three hundred slaves working for them.
Speaker 14 (42:52):
So who had the power, right, So you have.
Speaker 18 (42:56):
To suppress the three hundred people if you want to survive.
And so it wasn't like that in North Carolina. So
we make that case that, you know, the leniency of
slavery in that state must have helped the mcisocks get
to where they are. And then the fact that slave
(43:16):
masters after slavery still needed the craft and services that
we provided, so they put us in business. And so
the mckusicks were put in business by their slave masters.
Speaker 14 (43:30):
The loss mckiswick the second had his first company.
Speaker 18 (43:36):
And so you know, this was during the time where
we had Tulsa, so we had the Black Wall Street
and this was all over the country happening. I mean,
this did not change until Birth of a Nation. And
I don't know if you read down in the Boloo,
but that's why I was so excited to launch the
book last week in Martha's Vineyard at the African American
(43:57):
Film Festival, because it is the complete opposite of what
was happening in Hollywood one hundred years ago with Birth
of a Nation that depicted us as ignorant, subhuman sexual predators.
And you know, it's golded white people who thought maybe
(44:21):
we should reach out.
Speaker 14 (44:22):
You know, they're trying to figure out what to do.
Speaker 18 (44:24):
You were a slave one day and now you're a
business the next day.
Speaker 14 (44:28):
They're patronizing you. There.
Speaker 18 (44:30):
Some people are just they're good people, and so this
film scolded them and said to them, listen, if you
patronize these businesses, or if you have any empathy or
sympathy for black.
Speaker 14 (44:45):
People, you shouldn't.
Speaker 18 (44:47):
And then for others who hated us, it gave them
the license to just kill us.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
And it's still more fearing them as to why they
should never give us any political power.
Speaker 18 (44:58):
I mean, the fear is still here today. And that
was the rebirth of the klu Klux Klan, you know this,
And because it was economically so successful, it was.
Speaker 14 (45:11):
Really like the beginning of Hollywood.
Speaker 18 (45:14):
So Hollywood was birthed with this racial movie about black people.
So now to be in Martha's vineyard and to go
to all of those black films that really tell the
truth about us. You know, all the women aren't skinny
with long blonde hair.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 18 (45:38):
I went to see Ebony Canal, which is about the
problem we're having with black women pregnancy, getting pregnant, delivering
healthy children, and our children living past a year, you know,
and I was so glad to see that the women
really did look black, nothing sanitized. And that's what we
(46:02):
have to do is tell our stories. And that's what
our book does. It's a receipt.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
You know.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
I'm glad that you brought the TV part of it
up because I remember when they were going to turn
your story into a television show, yeah, with paramount, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Like, that's never probably right. But it's because when you.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
But when you showcase these type of stories, and I'm
glad we were able to publish the book, but when
you showcase these type of stories, it provides inspiration. He
does the exact opposite of what films.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Like The Birth of a Nation opposite.
Speaker 18 (46:31):
Yes, yeah, uh, because that was detrimental. I mean because
of that, I believe it's the root of Tulsa being
burned and you know, Chester, Pennsylvania, all across the nation
where black people were thriving. If they had just left
us alone right now, this picture would be totally different
(46:52):
than it is today.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
I do have to ask, you know, when I speak
to a lot of black company owners and construction company owners,
they say, one of the hardest things is these companies
don't pay out when they're supposed to, right So it's like,
you know, let's say they have a net thirty, net sixty,
net ninety. We're supposed to get paid in these times,
and it's like a lot of times they feel like,
especially with the black companies, they don't have the necessarily
the money to hold until they actually do get paid.
(47:17):
Do you have to deal with that a lot when
it comes to these these companies when you're building these
things and things like that, because a lot of companies
actually fold because they're old money and they just can't survive.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
You got to read the book.
Speaker 14 (47:31):
That's no that's that's definitely a problem. Okay when you and.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
They seem like it seems like it has that happens
to us more than others.
Speaker 14 (47:41):
Okay.
Speaker 18 (47:42):
So the bottom line is real estate and construction is
a capital intense business, right, you got to have some
serious money, some serious relationship if you're building airports.
Speaker 14 (47:53):
Schools, you know, anything in New York.
Speaker 18 (47:55):
I mean, renovating a kitchen is a million dollars in
New York. Okay, so you crazy, you gotta have money.
And so it's very difficult to bridge that gap as
a new contractor coming in. And so what we do
is we create what's called an impress account. So let's
(48:17):
take JFK Terminal one, and you know, this is the
difference between having, you know, having black ownership at the
top of the food chain because we have Jim Rentals,
Louke Capitol, and Magic Johnson. But we were able to
do an impress account, meaning we could pay contractors extremely
(48:40):
quickly before thirty days. Because the bottom line is, if
your construction is faulty in any way, you're going to
see it. As long as you're inspecting on a regular basis,
you're going to see if there's a problem. So if
a contractor, you know, gets paid a little bit more
(49:00):
and they still have to come back and fix something.
So what that's contractors are used to tearing down a
wall and putting it back up as long as you
catch it. And so that helps contractors a lot because
cash flow is extremely important here because if you miss
your union dues by a few days, your workers don't
(49:22):
show up and the union doesn't mess around with that.
They want their union dues and they want the union
to be paid. So you got to pay for that.
You got to get your materials to the job. So
when you're a contractors, a lot of that money is
flowing from you to other sources, if it's your payroll,
(49:43):
if it's your equipment or what have you, and you're
only keeping a fraction of it to yourself. And so
if you don't get paid on time, or if you
have to borrow money, that's eating into your actual profit.
Speaker 14 (49:57):
And so yeah, that is a serious problem. Access to capital.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Was still kicking it with Cheryl mcizick Daniel, the president
and CEO of mckisick and McKissick. Now that's the nation's
oldest minority in women owned design and construction firm.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
She has a new book out right now.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
Charlemagne, you talked to just about some of the challenges
you faced when y'all were involved with the Barclay Center
in Brooklyn.
Speaker 18 (50:20):
You know, that was when I look back on that experience,
it was probably one of the best because I remember
sitting just watching TV and hearing Bruce Radner was going
to buy this team and build this arena.
Speaker 14 (50:35):
And I knew Brooklyn was, you know, had a high.
Speaker 18 (50:38):
Percentage of African Americans, and that the politicians there were
strong and they were going to make sure that minorities
or African Americans were a part of this development.
Speaker 14 (50:52):
And so I remember just thinking.
Speaker 18 (50:54):
Okay, let me make a list of all the black politicians, ministers,
people who run organizations, and I'm going out and I'm
meeting all of them.
Speaker 14 (51:06):
And in the.
Speaker 18 (51:07):
First four or five I met Berta Lewis, and you
talking about a.
Speaker 14 (51:12):
Force of nature.
Speaker 18 (51:13):
I mean, Bertha Lewis was well respected because if you
didn't respect her, she was gonna picket your sight and
I mean.
Speaker 14 (51:23):
Really turn it out.
Speaker 18 (51:25):
So she became really good friends with Bruce Ratner. She
had a real knack for finding compromise. You know, some
people are all or nothing. She found great compromise and
so people like Bruce Ratner respected her. The next thing,
i know, she's flying around on his.
Speaker 9 (51:45):
Plane and I'm like, Okay, she's in.
Speaker 14 (51:49):
I know, I'm in. And that's how it works.
Speaker 18 (51:52):
You know, it's important that we really worked together as
a race. You know, all of us working together will
make a difference. You know, like Charlemagne, you saying I
will publish your book. That is black solidarity. That is
really working together. That is when black people I can
(52:15):
go in a room and I can talk about you
and you're not there, and I can say something positive
and support you. That's what we need to happen all
the time. We need sponsors at high levels doing that
all the time. The Gym Rentals and Magic Johnson's, I
can't talk about them enough and what they've done. We're
(52:38):
at a billion dollars at JFK Terminal one spent with
MWBE firms because of their leadership, their risk. It was
a risk for them to own this airport and putting
their money where their mouth is, and so we were
able to help local black firms and Queen in Manhattan
(53:01):
and Brooklyn. I mean it's a beautiful story I can
go back to. And this is in the book. I
was in Martha's vineyard for the launch of the book
and Wendy and George Van Ampsen walked in.
Speaker 14 (53:14):
So Wendy and George are in my book.
Speaker 18 (53:17):
Because when I had my first payroll that I could
not make, I called five black investment bankers and they
all gave me money. They all let me borrow money
from them. And they were two of them, and first
I got the wife first, and she said, I'm gonna
make George write you a check too, you know. And
(53:37):
that's how we have to do it. We have to
work together. And so Barkley Arena is that story, you know,
working with Londell McMillan, Roger Green, black politician back then.
You know, they went into Bruce Radner with Bertha Lewis
and they said, listen, we don't care who you bring
(53:59):
in on.
Speaker 14 (54:00):
The majority side, but you're gonna work with.
Speaker 18 (54:03):
Chisic and mckissic because that's who we want, because we
know that they're gonna pay it for it, They're gonna
make sure our community goes to work. And so Barkley
Arena is like all of that coming together. Black solidarity
coming together and making it happen.
Speaker 2 (54:23):
About the merchant that they asked.
Speaker 9 (54:25):
Okay that y'all didn't bring us.
Speaker 14 (54:27):
By the way, y'all know, we ran out in the vineyard.
Speaker 18 (54:32):
Everybody. Everybody wanted a T shirt and it is it's
really catchy. But they ask and the back says.
Speaker 14 (54:42):
Who built this?
Speaker 18 (54:43):
And the reason why that significant is because people walk
in their own church, they can walk in a hospital,
walk through a train station. People can say, oh, it's
it feels nice. I like this environment, but no one says, well,
who built this? No one asked the question who designed this?
You know? Is is there a connection between Terminal one
(55:06):
and j f K and LaGuardia Central Terminal?
Speaker 14 (55:11):
Like who who built this?
Speaker 18 (55:13):
And so we want to bring awareness to that, for
people to say who built this and for people to
get interested in the real estate design and construction profession.
And of course we say we did.
Speaker 9 (55:29):
MCI, that's amazing, that's amazing. Always has that though he
does ask like, wherever we go to who build this?
He did? Please?
Speaker 6 (55:41):
Please, it's don't even get that he.
Speaker 2 (55:49):
Asked that all the time.
Speaker 9 (55:50):
To go to museums, we going to say he who
built this?
Speaker 14 (55:52):
Like he maybe he has a you know, he likes construction.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
Where do you think she was going a little bit?
Speaker 18 (56:12):
Well, we just ordered five hundred T shirts because we're
going to her best best I know that's right. So
you will all get your T shirts before we go
down there, please, because.
Speaker 9 (56:25):
They you ain't gonna leave with none.
Speaker 3 (56:27):

miss Basketball at in Best Fest.

Uh.
Speaker 15 (58:35):
Now, this additional body cam chose a whole no remorse
whatsoever for that Shakari had for Christian in this situation.
She came out and did that whole apology, but this

Speaker 9 (58:55):
Yeah, do you need my ID for if I'm I'm

Speaker 9 (59:31):
Are y'all gonna risk him? I'm we're gonna christcise for him. Y'all,
don't anybody hands on me.
Speaker 17 (59:36):
But y'all thought me hands on him, Okay, and y'all
didn't even listen to the woman's out of the story.
But y'all except the fact I wasn't on the videos.
Speaker 9 (59:44):
I'm in a domestic violent relationship, and.
Speaker 2 (59:46):
Y'all catches you. I can show you probably been in
a domestic violent relationship.
Speaker 3 (59:51):
I don't know how you continue in a relationship after that.
I don't I got if we're together. I don't know
how you can say what about him? Yeah, she was
just ready to throw them.
Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
I can provide.
Speaker 9 (01:00:02):
I mean, if y'all give me a chance, I got
videos of him assault me like I.
Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Need me, Like God Jesus.
Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
The ill part of that does when she said, Christian,
you say this right now? She started say I'm a beach.
She stopped her stuff like I'm.
Speaker 15 (01:00:18):
The way she looked in the video, I was like, Oh,
they do this, this is this is dance. They don't
even the police. It was one of the agents. So
this is what It's crazy. When you watch the video,
they're literally at a security checkpoint, like you know you're
about to go into like past the like TSA or whatever.
When all this is happening in the video, she clearly
does touch him.
Speaker 9 (01:00:38):
She pushes him.
Speaker 15 (01:00:39):
He goes against the wall, and she's trying to get
around he's trying to get around him.
Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Walk away.
Speaker 15 (01:00:44):
Yes, but they're right at security, so people are seeing it.
So they the TSA agents, and the agents called the
police inside of the airport.
Speaker 9 (01:00:51):
He didn't call.
Speaker 15 (01:00:52):
Actually, there's another part of the body care when police
first approached them, where he tries to like cover for
the situation.
Speaker 9 (01:00:58):
Let's say, listen to Christian domestic bonus.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
He's not well, he doesn't doesn't have a domestic relationship.
Speaker 10 (01:01:09):
I would still fall.
Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Due to Yeah, I understand that, but I mean it's said.
Speaker 8 (01:01:13):
It's no.
Speaker 19 (01:01:15):
There's cameras on every inch of this place. I just
got done watching camera flitch. I want to tell me
what actually happened. She throws her zones at you. Okay,
you guys, come ever here. Clearly you can tell us
that he to talk going on, but she shoved your ass.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Hey, compare him talking to police to her talking to police.
I'm nobody therapist, but I would tell you the run king. Now,
she's gonna catch you if she changed you. But I'm
just telling you you might need to run.
Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Well, he's on him. Compare him talking to police.
Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Well, her is a little different because he's not getting arrested.
I mean, if he was getting rested, he might be
talking a little differently too. I don't think he'd be
throwing her under the bus like that. No, I don't
think you're throwing under the bus. But you know, obviously
they're in relationship where where they put hands with each
other before and it's not healthy. That is definitely not healthy,
and that definitely needs to be fixed. A lot of
people are in relationships and started off in relationships like that.
It comes usually from insecurity or whatever the problems is.
(01:02:05):
But they need to get fixing it in their relationship.
I would hate for them to lose anything because they're
in a young couple of relationship.
Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Yeah, I happened.
Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
Hopefully they can get it fixed before they lose too
much more.
Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Well, they got to deal with the consequences of their actions,
both of them. But I just yes to the bigger point.
None of this sounds healthy, Like, none of this sounds
like and it's not worth it.
Speaker 9 (01:02:24):
They're both athletes, like, got something good going for themselves.
Speaker 15 (01:02:29):
Yeah, you know, I know her, but him, isn't he
like he's a huge Yeah, veryful.
Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
She can't catch him, yes she can, no, no, no,
she can catch quick and she can see them. Yeah
did you catch the man beat them?
Speaker 9 (01:02:44):
And I was going to say, did you see the
videos they raised hill?
Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Dus know she wi you said he's a sprinter? What's
the fastest time? Because she see this man. I hate
to be the guy to have to say this, but
he's a man. She's a woman, Okay, all.
Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
Right, doesn't mean that I think she's one of the fastest,
one of the fastest women in the Okay.
Speaker 9 (01:03:00):
All right, sure, all right, some women are Caitlyn is
faster than brust huh ain't what peop Kristen Coleman.
Speaker 15 (01:03:11):
Back in twenty twenty three uh NBC sports set, Christian
Coleman matched the world's fastest.
Speaker 9 (01:03:16):
One hundred time this year nine point eight three seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
What's put some respect on my girl?
Speaker 8 (01:03:24):
Name?

Speaker 8 (01:03:57):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Women, tell me how about you? How about you have
proven that you're another brother of that conversation.
Speaker 15 (01:04:09):
Stoff, what else you got, Jess? I know you're excited
about this one. Kim Kardashian and Kloyd Kardashian are now
getting involved in the search for Amy Bradley.
Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Oh my god, did they find her?
Speaker 9 (01:04:18):
They haven't yet so started.
Speaker 15 (01:04:20):
Yes, they literally just started so quickly as we wrap.
So basically, Kim Kardashian was watching the special, she posted
it on her insert story, and then she got in
contact with Amy Bradley's family. She was talking to Ammy
Bradley's mom for an hour last Thursday, according to TMZ,
and she says that you know or they believe that
there is something there. Specifically, Kim Kardashian is interested in this,
(01:04:42):
like IP address from Barbados that keeps checking the Amy
Bradley is Missing website. So they doing it on holidays
like where she would miss her family most, right, So
I think it's her. A lot of people speculate that
they think it's her because it happens on her birthday,
major holidays.
Speaker 7 (01:04:57):
Like.
Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
Sixty years old right now, so she would still be
a sex worker.
Speaker 14 (01:05:01):
She would be Uh they got old sex workers like that.
Speaker 6 (01:05:06):
I was all right, but yeah, no, no, no, but
even still so crazy, even still, she could still.
Speaker 9 (01:05:13):
Be alive and out there, you know what I mean.
She probably running it now or something. You know, they
probably got her, got her, you know, a nice little
fied position in the company.
Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
I haven't watched the documentary. What makes you all think
she's alive?
Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
I'm just asking it just because there's an IP address
that's in Barbados right, every and her she still has
like her Instagram, like her family still has like Facebook, right,
and they post Happy Birthday to her every year since
she's been missing, they post Merry Christmas to her, and uh,
that same IP address.
Speaker 9 (01:05:41):
Always comes and views it, likes it the post.
Speaker 6 (01:05:44):
And everything, So they think it's her. Okay, whatever, I'm
telling you, they're gonna find her. They had to find her.
Speaker 9 (01:05:53):
Kim Kardashiy and Chloe are involved, and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
We'll see that same IP address that is the latest
will harden. Now just fix my message coming up in
a little bit. If you need some fixing of your relationship,
you can get on the phone lines eight hundred and
five eight five, one oh five one if you need
just to fix your mess. But before that, Charlomage will
give your dounkey two.
Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
I mean, let's talk about fixing some things. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
We keep having all these conversations about youth crime in America.
Let's have a discussion about it. I need these two
teenagers in my home state of South Carolina to come
to the front of the congregation. I don't know their
names because they are juveniles. But it's just a teachable
moment here, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,
the breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 9 (01:06:35):
Your execution on the donkey of the day is something
to go hold to be the reason they gave me
donkey other day, and I deserve that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
You need to know.
Speaker 9 (01:06:43):
You need to tell them I am you tell them.
Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
It's a read.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
But you're so good at Charlamagne. You know what you
wants Charlamage.
Speaker 9 (01:06:57):
Yeah, Solomae, who do you give a dusky the other
day too?
Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Now? Well, sexy read Donkey Today for Thursday August fourteenth
goes to two teenagers in my home state of South Carolina.
They're teenagers, so I don't have their names. But this
isn't really about them. It's about us, Okay, a teachable moment. See,
I'm thinking about President Trump and the federal takeover DC,
the police, and you know, mobilization as a national guard.
Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
Yes, we know.
Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
This is yet another distraction that the Trump administration has
created to attempt to get people to stop talking about
the Epstein files. But listening to the President cite a
lot of false and misleading claims about murder and youth
crime in the nation's capital got me thinking, just because
the data and information he may have cited is wrong,
doesn't mean that youth crime and DC and all over
the country isn't happening. Because, let's be honest, we all
(01:07:41):
know it is, and we all know why it is
because the powers that be aren't doing anything to truly
combat crime in our communities.
Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
They never have.
Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
Okay, if you aren't addressing the social and economic factors
that contribute to crime, then you're not serious about combating crime.
But we're gonna get back to that because I need
to talk about these teenagers. In South Carolina, two juveniles
have been detained for stealing a train and causing a
derail meet. This is impressive, stupid, but impressive because I've never, ever, ever,
ever heard of somebody commit a crime like this.
Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
Let's go to NBC four for the report.
Speaker 20 (01:08:11):
Police two teams in Lawrence County are facing charges for
taking a joy ride in a train. Lawrence police said
happened sometimes Saturday night. They say two juveniles unlawfully entered
both the Carolina Piedmont Railroad and CSX Transportation Railroad facilities
and stole a train. Investigators say they drove around the
rail yard and when they tried to return the engines,
they crashed into.
Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Parked railcars, causing a derailment.
Speaker 20 (01:08:33):
Official say both those teams face several charges that include
second degree burglary, grand larceny, and malicious damage to property.
Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
Listen, I need all my nieces and nephews out there,
please listen to your uncle Shalah. If you can take
the time to unlawfully into a railroad facility and figure
out how to start an engine of a train that
was connected to two other trains and then drive those
three trains around the yard before taking them onto the
rail line that connects toward Greenville, if you can figure
out how to do all that, damn it, you can
do anything. Okay, there is literally nothing in your mind
(01:09:04):
can conceive that you can achieve because your brain told
you to do this and.
Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
You did it. First of all, my whole life, I've
never thought about driving a train ever.
Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
But those are the kinds of thoughts that if we
were investing in our kids the way we should, they
could share with us and we could help them become
an actual train operator. I wish that these two kids
would have told an adult that Hey, I want to
drive a train, and then that adult could connect them
with someone who could make that dream come true for them. Okay,
like a ride along program or something. Because I just
googled this morning, how do you become a railroad train operator?
(01:09:33):
And correct me if I'm wrong. All the railroad train
operators out there, but from what.
Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
I see, the requirements are pretty basic, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
You could become a railroad train operator by having a
high school diploma or the equivalent of it. It says
you got to pass a physical exam and complete training
and certification through the Federal Railroad Administration. And entry level
positions often require on the job training and advancement to
engineer roles. They typically involve years of experience as a conductor,
and they make pretty decent money.
Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
The best paying jobs and railroads include locomotive engineers. They
earn around eighty five grand a year, railroad conductors make
about sixty five a year, railroad yard masters which I
don't even know what that is, earn up to seventy
grand a year, and signalance which operators can make over
eighty grand. My point is, kids, if you can spend
time and energy doing the wrong thing, you can use
that same time and energy to do the right thing.
Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
But this is where we, okay, come into play. We
are feeling a lot of our kids.
Speaker 7 (01:10:26):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
I already know that Trump administration wants to make America
a police state, but making America a police state isn't
going to solve the problem. You really want to combat crime,
you have to deal with the social and economic factors
that contribute the crime. You know why I invest so
much of my personal time, energy, and resources into mental
health initiatives. It's because I understand that if you help
(01:10:47):
someone be the best version of themselves mentally and emotionally.
Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
You make society better. Okay, when you help.
Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Someone deal with their unheald trauma and that pain and
hurt the individual is feeling, when you help them get
some healing, they don't go out here and project that
pain and hurt on the other people. Okay, but that
is dealing with what's in people's head and heart. We
got to start dealing with what is in people's pockets.
Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Okay. Acting like poverty and crime don't go hand in
hand is retarded. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
You have to give these kids opportunity and something to do.
Idle mind is a devil's playground. When kids don't have
nothing to do and no legal means and making ends meet,
they will resort to crime unless you provide them with opportunity.
We know the answers to all these problems. Are governments
know the answers to these problems. Okay, We got to
stop saying the system is broken all right. It's designed
(01:11:37):
to do exactly what it's doing. For example, you want
kids to not turn the crime.
Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
You need strong family support, which is why this system
goes out its way to tell families apart. You need
positive community involvement, after school programs, recreational activities, mentorship programs,
community engagement, youth clubs, religious groups. You have to give
these kids a real sense of belonging. But they cutting
funding for a lot of these programs. As they know
it gives them purpose. Of course, education, of course, job
(01:12:03):
training and employment opportunities. Okay, social and emotional development. That
goes into the education piece. They need to have social
and emotional learning from pre K to twelfth grade. Teach
these kids empathy and compassion, conflict resolution skills. We know
the solutions to these problems, but we don't implement them
because the school the prison pipeline is big business. Now,
(01:12:26):
let me get back to the real root cause poverty
and inequality. Okay, address that and you're getting right to
the root cause of reducing the risk factor associated with crime.
Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Mental health support. I will stress that until the day
I die. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Help them deal with their trauma and emotional distress early
intervention programs. Okay, target these at risk youth, not by
militarizing the police and sending the FEDS into these cities.
Target them with early intervention programs that can prevent them
from developing harmful.
Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Behaviors and trajectories.
Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Okay, trade schools, THEAM programs, job call and once again,
mental health services.
Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
See when I look at these kids who went for
a joy ride on this train before they deralted, I
don't see lost causes.
Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
Okay, I see the right energy going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
Because once again, if they can come up with it
and idea to go into a railroad facility, start a
train and drive it, then they can walk into a
trade school and learn how to do HVAC. Okay, they
can go to school in major and anything in steam.
But we have to be their guide. We have to
guide them because it ain't nobody coming to save us,
because the upward mobility of these young kings and queens
(01:13:35):
is not part of the plan of their system. Please
give these young teenagers to stole that train in South Carolina,
the biggest SA hall. But whatever me Look, oh yeah,
I knew that already. Hi Jess, how are you are

I'm not even giving, Like I don't killed my baby mother,
I don't have text mess you, Hey, what are you doing?
You're good?
Speaker 7 (01:16:03):
How are you? None of that?
Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
So you've never given her only reason to think that
there is still something going on, or even little sparks
are there between you and your ex wife.
Speaker 7 (01:16:12):
Right.
Speaker 8 (01:16:13):
The only reason you can say that she's gonna say
is that on two years, three years ago, for Christmas,
you know, I lived with my son. My son lives
with me, my other two kids of her, he came
to my house on Christmas, you know, to get to
give her son her gifts for my son to see her. Yo,
she posted a picture that she was in my house.
(01:16:34):
My baby mother, I mean, my girl went on her
Facebook page to see her story and she's seen that
she was in my house. And ever since that day,
everything got worse because she's like, oh, she's allowed to
come to your house.
Speaker 6 (01:16:44):
But I'm like, yo, I have a son who lives here,
and that's also the mother of my children and my
ex wife, and you know, not for nothing. No, we're
not attracted to each other anymore, but we're gonna always
be in each other's lives no matter what.
Speaker 8 (01:16:57):
Because yeah, if my son wants mother to come over
and cook her dinner, like, she ain't come cooking over
for me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (01:17:06):
Like, oh, oh, oh, I ain't know it was the dinner.
Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Did your girl live with you at that time.
Speaker 9 (01:17:13):
I'm I'm out, okay, but did your girl live there? Though?
Speaker 8 (01:17:20):
My girl don't live there? No, she got her own friend.
Speaker 9 (01:17:22):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
I was going to say no, I would feel a
little disrespected because she ain't got to be in here
cooking for us.
Speaker 9 (01:17:27):
Why son can't go at her house and she cooked
for him at her house.
Speaker 8 (01:17:30):
But that's like you, you know what I mean, living
with I totally do get something. You're going over there
and trying to cook.
Speaker 9 (01:17:41):
I'm still waiting on room to get a house, so
we can't even compare that. Listen, now, you how old
are you?
Speaker 6 (01:17:46):
If you don't mind me asking, I'm forty, okay. How
old is your girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
She's thirty?
Speaker 9 (01:17:52):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:17:53):

too young for you know, but she's still you know,
you live in a different you're living in a different decade,
and I know that may not I don't think that madness,
but it does.
Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
So everything that you went through in your thirties, she's
just now about to embrace that, you know what I mean,
Like all her insecurities are not gone yet. You know,
she's fresh out of her twenties, so she thirty, So
she's still on that type of time where there are insecurities.
You were married before her, but you were married not
for one or two years. You got a lot of
history with the mother of your three children, you know
(01:18:27):
what I mean. So, yeah, she is intimidated by your
ex wife.
Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Absolutely.
Speaker 9 (01:18:31):
We can't even deny that. She can't deny it, She
won't admit it, but she she is.
Speaker 8 (01:18:36):
What would you say, as the man, what would you
say I need to do and not just say, oh,
I need to reassure her you don't want to be
I did that, Like, yeah, what or what do I
need to do? Really sit down and seek, Like, yo,
if you can't get faster, we're gonna have to you
know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:18:50):

do if you're not doing anything wrong, you know, if
you're not really still in love with your ex wife
or even have a crush on exact Okay, so take your.

Speaker 6 (01:22:35):
Restraining order well, you know, damn well you if you're
being stalked and you're trying to figure out how to
get somebody from off your tail. And you know what
I mean, Nah, restraining order. Straight up, you gotta go
to the chorts. If he noncissistic, he won't leave you alone.
Speaker 9 (01:22:51):
And you know nobody can have you with me, Like
is he that type of person? Yeah, basically, And that's like,
you know.
Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
It's not like when he has me, he's treating me good.
If he's a good man him life.
Speaker 14 (01:23:05):
Is he here legally?
Speaker 7 (01:23:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Yeah, I can't give him that.
Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
What I'm saying you're thinking about you already thought about that.
Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Yeah, he got he got fired by Obama.
Speaker 10 (01:23:19):
You know, he.
Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
Go nowhere, be here, take his ass to court.
Speaker 6 (01:23:27):
Then that's it that you need to because this sounds
I mean, we we make a little jokes and laughing,
but this is very dangerous.
Speaker 9 (01:23:32):
You know, this is all well, that's.
Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
Basically what it is. Well, so basically let me say this,
even with the courts, you know what, that's what I
was thinking about as well. You know what I'm saying,
because basically, yeah, I can go to the courts, I
can get the divorce. That's too fisy, you know what
I'm saying, I already thought about that as well. All
(01:23:56):
you got to do is go down there. But once
you do that, then like he's like, how do I
open up his mind to think that life is not over?
Like we don't have to stay together forever, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:24:12):
Yeah, look, but it's the thing, he know that already.
He just wants you to think that. He wants you
to be binded to him mentally. He wants you to
feel like you can't be nowhere, you can't make it
without him, and y'all already got kids together and all.
Speaker 9 (01:24:24):
That, right, That's what I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:24:27):
Yeah, that's what a narcissism. That's what a narcissist does.
Like they make you think that you're the problem. You
need to hold on to that person. He knows, you know,
he can be you know, you know he can. You
don't have to be with you, You don't have to
be with him, but he's already conditioned you to think
that you have to, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (01:24:45):
That's how they works.
Speaker 6 (01:24:46):
So man, the court, like I said, court, keep calling
the police, have a create a trail, like, nah, you
know you have to.
Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
So let me just say I'll never I have not
ever put the police on him, you know, because for one,
I'm trying not to put him you know. Yeah, he
doesn't have the but you're absolutely right. It's in so
many cases where I should have. Yeah, but then you know,
to have that police trail. I just want you to
live your life, you know. Yeah, I still want you
(01:25:17):
to be a good daddy. I just want you to
be somewhere else to be in a good daddy, you know.
And with with messing around with me, I start calling
the people. Oh, he's don't get some real charges.
Speaker 9 (01:25:27):
M well, that seemed like what he needs, some real charges,
like no slap on the wrist, like he really need to.
He needs a wake up call.
Speaker 6 (01:25:35):
Can't be a narcissists with everybody, can't be a narcissistical police,
can't be narcissists in jail, can't be narcissists within the courts,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (01:25:43):
So I take take your safety in the safety of
your children very seriously, babe. I think you should go
ahead and figure that out.
Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Well for you to say that that part right there
is most definitely the goal and the key you mean.
Speaker 6 (01:25:58):
Priority, Yeah, because you gotta be around for them, you know,
just don't sound safe.
Speaker 9 (01:26:03):
So all right, all right, babe, appreciate you. Good luck, honey,
all right, thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
All right, Well, just fix my mess. Eight hundred and
five eighty five, one oh five.
Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
When we come back. We got the Latest with Lauren.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 4 (01:26:20):
Everybody is DJ Envy, just hilarious, Charlamagne God, we are
the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 16 (01:26:26):
Hey, Wara be coming a straight fast man.
Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 9 (01:26:33):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
She'd be having the latest on you. That's the Lawns
the Latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts,
sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit
of everything. It's the leader on the Breakfast Club Talk.
Speaker 15 (01:26:49):
K Cuddy sat down with the Call Her Daddy podcast
and he's been on a promo tour because he dropped
his memoir, Cuddy the Memoir. It's out now VIAIR memoir. Sorry,
I'm not wa memoir a book about itself. Okay, he
got a book about hisself, and so he's talking about
a bunch of different things throughout his career, his time, relationships,
(01:27:10):
he was in and he gets into his time dating
and dealing with Cassie.
Speaker 9 (01:27:14):
So they talked to him about that on a car
her daddy lest take a listen.
Speaker 21 (01:27:17):
You were with her obviously during a very dark time
of what she was going through with Diddy. During that time,
your house was broken into, your car was lit on fire.
What do you just like overall remember about that time.
Speaker 22 (01:27:30):
In the moment, it was just crazy. I had a
hard time understanding if it was reality.
Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
I was like, in mind the movie, what the is
going on?
Speaker 22 (01:27:41):
It was just chaotic and intense, Like I was already
out of my mind dealing with my own personal So
I was really just like, okay, I was willing to
walk into the fire. And I just over the years,
I just thought about it as like some wow, that
happened in my rock and roll life, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (01:28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (01:28:02):
He also talked about testifying for Cassie on the Sand
and the Diddy Child. He said that they asked him
like two or three times. He didn't want to go,
but the last time he said, you know what, I'm
gonna I'm gonna show up for her.
Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
So he did.
Speaker 15 (01:28:13):
He pulled up and he hated that he had to
do it, but he felt like he had to be
there for her. And then he talked about like his
outfit choice and how he was like, I'm gonna pull
up in here real cool and just go do what
I need to do. And I will say the day
that he came to court, it was I mean, anytime
you know celebrity is coming.
Speaker 9 (01:28:29):
There were so many people there.
Speaker 15 (01:28:30):
But I do think that people were hanging on to
his every word because he was the only celebrity in
this whole situation. People were looking to see what celebrities
were involved for different reasons. He was the only celebrity
that actually got under stand outside of Cassie and talk
through things.
Speaker 9 (01:28:43):
So people were listening to him.
Speaker 15 (01:28:44):
So it was a big moment for him, and I
guess he talked about how much pressure put on him.
Speaker 21 (01:28:50):
You test to buy it in court? Yeah, how did
you feel going into that situation?
Speaker 22 (01:28:55):
I felt I was calm. I was there because I
had to be. At first they asked, said no, they
asked again, I said no. Then I guess, but I
hated every minute of it. I did not want to
do it, But then I thought about I'm here to
support Cassie. Cassie is my friend. I've always just wanted
to see her thrive and do well and be happy,
(01:29:18):
you know, because I know she was living a nightmare,
and I just was there to support her. That's what
I That's what kind of gave me peace with it
when I when I sat down in that chair.
Speaker 15 (01:29:28):
Yeah, I didn't know we had the second audio, but
thanks for that. Yeah, so you guys heard him on that.
Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
But a bunch of people got subpoena and still didn't
go to oh.
Speaker 15 (01:29:33):
One hundred percent, victim three, which we found out was Gina.
When he did, these ex girlfriends didn't show up. There
were there were people.
Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
James Cruz, his manager, did not show up as well.
I think a couple of security guards got subpoena. They
didn't go as well.
Speaker 15 (01:29:44):
I think for him it was more about being there
to support Cassie. I think he knew the impact his
testimony would because there was so much conversation around the
alleged arsen and all the things.
Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
I'm interested in reading Cuddy's book, but not because of
none of the mess I'm interested in reading it because
from what I saw, he talked about a lot of
his personal struggles yes, especially dealing with mental health and
depression and suicidal thoughts. And if you know anything about Cuddy,
his fans, like you know, like my guy Pete Davidson
has said for years that Kid Cutty's music helped him
to not kill himself.
Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
So I'm interested in reading Cuddy's book for that.
Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
And even where kit Cutty came from, like he came from,
you know, working at a store in the village and
just doing music and being heard and just his story
is an amazing story.
Speaker 15 (01:30:24):
Yeah, it's all about that being here in the blog
era in New York, and he talks about in a
really vague, like really good detail. He talks about the
Speeding Bullets a Heaven album, which is where he said
that was going to be his goodbye. That was like
almost like his suicide letter because he did not want
to be here. So, yes, the book is going to
be full of a lot of things. And he talked
about that in the interview too, So go take a
listen to.
Speaker 2 (01:30:44):
It came about this week.
Speaker 4 (01:30:44):
Yes, it's a simon and a lot of people don't know.
Jim Jones actually crossed him over to a lot of
people that had no idea who he was. When Jim
Jones did the remix The Day and Night. Oh okay,
he goes over to a lot of the hip hop
fans who did not know who Kit Cutty was at first.
Speaker 9 (01:30:57):
That's the jam.
Speaker 15 (01:30:58):
Well, in other New York news, the Broadway theater owners
are very upset still about the casino on Times Square,
and they are pissed off at jay Z, Fat Joe
and Charlemagne the gods.
Speaker 9 (01:31:12):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (01:31:14):
So basically yesterday sixteen theaters on Broadway lit up their
marquee and they had digital billboards that read no Time
Square casino.
Speaker 9 (01:31:22):
Now.
Speaker 15 (01:31:22):
This message was displayed right before and during the first
State hearing on the gambling facility that is going to
be coming potentially to Times Square. Now, the reason why
they're mad at Fat Joe and Charlemagne the God sitting
right here is because you were there to testify on
the behalf of the casino.
Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
It's not testifying testify.
Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
There was one hundred and fifty people there, and you
had people there that were in support of the casino,
a lot of people who were there and supported the casino,
like myself, and then you had people who opposed it,
which is life right, Like that's the way life is.
Speaker 9 (01:31:54):
Anybody want to agree with you testifying?
Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
I did not testify. I wanted to the microphone like
everybody else walked up to the microphone. Y yeah, I
said a lot of things. I said.
Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
I believe in the casino. I'm believe in what Rock
Nation and Caesars Palace are doing. And one thing I
didn't say yesterday, and we say it here on the
Breakfast Club all the time, was for all the money
we're paying taxes and tolls here in New York City, New.
Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
York should look like Dubai like it. It should.
Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
It should at the at least look like Charlotte or Dallas,
like downtown Chicago was beautiful. My point is the city
needs an upgrade, and I think you know, Sesars Palace
provides that. And I go to a lot of Broadway.
I go to a lot of Broadway. Broadway is not sexy.
Sesars Palace could bring a lot of sexy. The Times quid,
how long did you drive the mic for what we're
talking about?
Speaker 9 (01:32:35):
How long did you say you walked up talking a long?
Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
Nobody was talking along literally literally people would walk up
and speak for like thirty forty five seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
That's about it.
Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
And I just talked about how you know, I feel
like it's gonna bring more customers for surrounding businesses. It's
gonna increase tourism. You know, Rock Nation is gonna make
a real investment into the long term health of the city.
I'm gonna bring that's gonna bring thousands.
Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
And I heard this.
Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
I heard people saying this yesterday, Like you know, they
had construction workers going up there, saying I was gonna
bring thousands of construction jobs, you know, thousands of permanent
jobs because they got to hire like three thousand and
four thousand people. Yes, I just to understand why people
are against this. And if you are against all of
the billions of dollars you know this will bring to
the city and communities, what are you going to do?
Speaker 16 (01:33:14):
How will the hurt?
Speaker 9 (01:33:16):
Like, how will it hurt?
Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
The people say things like more traffic if they things
like more congestion, more crime, But no, I think it's
going to actually increase security in that area if you
ask me personally.
Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
But what do I know, Well, it's definitely going to
bring traffic, But I mean already traffic is already do
congestion prices and everything, Like you said, it's already traffic there.
Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
They will just have to detour things.
Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
And it'll create more opportunities for parking garages and things
like that because people are gonna have to come down
hand park.
Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
Yes, bring them to come down here in the state.
It brings more people for the businesses that are down there.
Speaker 9 (01:33:47):
Yeah, okay, I just want to parking garages and stuff like.
They'll be use what's already there though, right, and they'll
get it more.
Speaker 3 (01:33:58):
The crazy thing is in that article from the New
York Post, whoever was talking about me and fat Joe
callers broad faces.
Speaker 15 (01:34:05):
Oh they also at one point rappers, but I don't
know if they were referring to you in fact, Joe.
They're talking about with jay Z in fact Joe, but
you know sometimes he's out.
Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
If you read the article, they referred to me as
a radio personality. They do old face a rapper. It
bald faced me. You don't have no hair on your face,
Fat Joey ones the times your hair?
Speaker 9 (01:34:24):
How you mean he dies it like he got no.
Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
Not It's still not bald. It was just silly, stupid.
It's funny though, and use it all right.
Speaker 9 (01:34:39):

front of the behinders.

the Bronx, which was kind of scary for me. Her

to play because I wanted her true reaction of how
she thought Jess was. I was like, Jess was just
sirr right, and she was like what she's like, now,
(01:11):
Jess killed it. She was like, I was dying from
the time I got there to the dime the time
it was over. She said, I didn't see the person
before because I was a little late. I came on
mom time. But she was like, Jess destroyed it. To
drop a bomb for Jess.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It was like show so much love of all we
know Jess Monny on stage, but let's know what NB said.
I wanted her true opinion, but he tried to lead her.
Jess was just sighed right. That's not what you do

asked him, how was it? She was She was just
to hide, right, you leading the witness stupid.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Everybody is j Nvyess, Hilarry is Charlamagne the guy.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Now some quick sports.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
The NBA approves the sale of the Boston Celtics. Now
it's saying it's gonna be going for six point one
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, that's about right. That's that's crazy that. I just
don't know how these people make money.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But I guess it's a long term investment, right, Like
over time, I guess you will make your money back,
or maybe you'll sell it again in another decade or
fifteen years for double that.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I don't freaking know no more, man, I don't know.
That's a lot of money, A lot of money, a
lot of a lot of money. What's up, Morgan?
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Hey, y'all. Hey, So let's get into it.
Speaker 10 (05:50):
So first on front page, President Trump is congratulating his
administration over the crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Now.
Speaker 10 (05:57):
Yesterday, Trump said DC will soon be quote crime. I'm
free with the National Guard, troops and federal officers on
the streets, adding Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Will be cleaned up. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
We're going to make Washington beautiful. We're going to redo roads.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
We're going to redo the medians, the pavers, then the
medians all throughout the city.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We're going to take all the graffitio. If we're going
to have to remove the tents.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
So, the President also said that crime stats compiled by
local police for the nation's capital were fraudulent, and he
insists the numbers are much higher than what was previously reported. Meanwhile,
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is speaking out following President Trump's
threat to his city to deploy National Guards to Chicago
to fight crime. Now, Johnson called the President one of
the biggest threats to humanity excuse me, and said that
(06:44):
we've seen an entire humanity that we've seen in this
entire generation.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Now.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
He said that Trump doesn't have the legal authority to
deploy National Guard troops, and he also called on the
President to reinstate funding for community violence programs. Let's take
a listen to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's response to President
Trump's threat.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So we take these threads seriously.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
We would not bowel down or scumb to his tyrant rage.
And here for you guys.
Speaker 10 (07:12):
In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams wade in on
the controversy this week, saying he welcomes federal help to
lower crime and wash in New York City. Excuse me,
but he says, what's happening right now in Washington, d C.
Is not something that they need to happen in New
York now, he said, now, if they want to help,
they can help cracking help with cracking down on people
getting a hold of automatic weapons, while mentioning the Las
(07:35):
Vegas man who came to New York and killed four
people inside that Manhattan office building. So again I'll continue
to keep you guys posted on what's happening in d
C with this Trump takeover and these federal authorities supposedly
cracking down on crime in the streets.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
So that's your front piece.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I am for doing things to combat crime, but you
are not truly combating crime if you aren't addressing the
social and economic factors that contribute to crime. I'm gonna
keep saying that give these kids something to do, trade schools,
steam programs, job fairs, better mental health services, make the
schools better, like, you know, give these kids something to do,
Provide them some type of opportunity so they don't turn
(08:13):
the crime to begin with. And the fact that's ride
on mind is always gonna be the devil's playgrounds. So
when you've got these kids that come from, you know,
certain environments, they're pouring disenfranchise, they're gonna turn the crime
if they don't have anything positive to do.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's how you make a real investment in the community.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And it's a long term investment because to me, this
is just a temporary, you know, solution for what has
been a permanent problem in our.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Society, which is poor, which is poverty.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That's right, Well, thank you Morgan, everybody else, get it
off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh
five one. If you need to vent, phone lines to
wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
five to one.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, wake up,
wake up, wake up? Asks if you're time to get
it off your chest because of your man or blessed,
we want to hear from you on the breakfast glove. Hello.
Who's this?
Speaker 12 (09:05):
Good morning? Breakfast Club?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Good morning? Why are you sexy?
Speaker 12 (09:11):
I'm not trying to sound sexy. This is your friendly
friend Nicole Wallace from Saint Louis. Hopefully you guys remember me.
My birthday is the.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Same day as the shelf, December.
Speaker 12 (09:26):
December six.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Do not know yet?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
I do.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The who is happening? We love you? What's happening? What's up? Mama?
Speaker 12 (09:38):
Okay, well, let me not be rude. I'm gonna say
good morning again, dj Envy. I'm calling from the Saint
Louis metro area and I was wondering with your car shows.
Will you ever come this way? Or are we too
far away?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Probably not.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I think you guys might be a little too far
The problem with the car show is I always say
getting the cars to markets out side of the East
Coast and south it's pretty difficult because it's very expensive
to get those cars down there. But we're working on
sponsorship in those area in the Midwest and West Coast,
so hopefully we can bring it down there. Like I said,
I don't charge that much for the car show, so
it's not like we're making a huge profit, so getting
(10:15):
the cars down there is difficult. But I would love
to go to Saint Louis. I think that'll be cool
and maybe roping Nelly and Sexy Red and some of
the local artists down there and get some of their carts.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I just think it'll be great. But you know, we're trying.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
We try to do two three markets a year, and
maybe Saint Louis will be on the next year of
the year after hopefully.
Speaker 12 (10:31):
Well it's wondering for next year. How can one become
a vendor?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
All you have to do is just you can email
Mercedes Walker Woo's my general and assistant Djmvcar Show at
gmail dot com.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But next week we'll be in Jersey.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Next year we're definitely doing the Carolina's because so many
people from South Carolina, North Carolina come in all the
time and they want me to do it. So but
hopefully we can get down there and thank you for
checking in and asking.
Speaker 12 (10:57):
Okay, one more question.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Hold on, give them Mercedes email again. Twelve sneaker at Gmail.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
She'll shut up. It's dj M because you at gmail
dot com.
Speaker 12 (11:07):
Oh, okay, one more question, Charlemagne. My sister Katie Odie,

Speaker 3 (11:25):

writer and the book is so funny and Jeff, with

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Thank you for checking in. Mama, get it off your chest.
Eight hundred and five eight five one oh five one.
If you need to vin hit us up now. It's
the Breakfast Club good morning.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The Breakfast Club. We want to hear from you on
the Breakfast Cloud. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Good morning? This is James Calls from North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
James James from the Carolina. What's up, brother?
Speaker 7 (12:11):
What's going on with you?
Speaker 13 (12:12):
Man?
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Uh? I just wanted to get it off my chest
about these customer service workers or gas station attendance and
whatnot when they're on their jobs. If y'all are, if
you're anybody out there that's sending them jobs, they're listening now.
If you when you're on your job, man, leave your
attitude at home and don't be on your phone with
personal calls and whatnot. And some of them have to
(12:35):
learn to look at you like you bothering them when
they're the ones on the clock. I didn't the part
of that job you did.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Like you, all you're trying to do is going there
and get your little you know, gas station pills. You
know what I mean, you little horny goat weed, you
little power then and now that's all you're trying to do.
You just kind of go in there and get your
little your little package, and they bother.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They're bothering you, right, But you've got you got to
understand too.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Sometimes they got to deal with a lot of us
crazy people with a lot of different attitudes. So sometimes
what we do affect them as well.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
That's that's all. Find a dandy. But if a person
who's being cordial and nice to you, you don't take
that out on him, right.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
But you know a lot of people that go in
there to buy like them gas stations, pills like the
extends and stuff, they be having an attitude because they
think that the person behind the county is judging them
when they buy this stuff for their erectile dysfunction.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Right, So I understand your pain, yo, you I don't
buy any of that. We see where Charlamage gets it from.
A right, thank you? Brother. Hello, who's this Hi?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
My name is Christina.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Hey Christina, to get it off your chest, mama, okay, Hi.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well good morning. By the way, I'm on a freeway
dround stuff work. But I was calling regarding what charvel
Man was talking about with children needing something to do
far as educational or pre schools and things like that, Well,
what I personally believe is you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
These kids do.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Need something to do with the cost of inflation. They
see their parents struggling and stuff like that. What are
what are they to do? Just watch a parents struggle,
get kicked out of their place, their house or whatever
like that. Food is high, everything is triple or devil.
You know, it doesn't make any sense. Like we really
need our representatives, are state representatives in Congress, to actually
get out there and fight for the youth, because who
(14:20):
are the future? You know, they are the future?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Who is the future?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
No, I'm sorry, I'm a free way.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
No, I'm with you. Get you know exactly what you're saying.
Just quote Whitney Houston.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I believe that children are the future Easton Well and
let them lead the way.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But but I will say this, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
We have to make having a job cool again because
there's a lot of businesses out there, if you ask,
they're looking for employees, and a lot of people don't
want to work. They feel like the job is beneath
them and it's not cool to work. You know, all
of us up here has worked, you know, a job
that we only got paid minimum wage. But we did
it to help our family or to help ourselves. I
didn't did tell of marketing, and I worked at the
US Open Charlamage worked, I think, and Wendy's for a Day,
(14:56):
Minco Belle.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Taco Bell for a day so much better. But I
also so up crack.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But let me tell you something, right, people, people do
need a job. But what we gotta do is really
invest into these kids' futures. That's why I keep spressing
strage trade schools. We need to have steam programs. You
need to have job theres.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You got to implement things that these kids are going
to be able to use long term.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Like that's the real investment that needs to happen in
our community.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Also, fair way is because some of the places they're
you know, they're they're still hiring a wage that's not Liverpool.
You know, everything like I said, high, very high expensive.
You know, and my mortgage is expensive, but my property
textes is expensive. When you're a young when you're in
the youth and you're watching your parents struggle, you know,
and food is really high. Everything is just gone up ridiculously,
(15:46):
and you know it's sad. It's sad. In trade school,
I feel like it is important.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
The kids give them some but insensive to look forward to,
so when they do get older, they can't like reach
out to that the youth wants again and let it
be a trick on downa tex.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That's right because it's that trade school and steam programs.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And that's why I'm saying anybody that's talking about combating crime,
if you're not addressing the social and economic factors that
contribute to crime, then you're not really serious about it.
You can set all the police you want into these areas,
but these kids, it's gonna be us never ending cycle
because you're still not doing anything to keep these kids
from turning into a.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Life of crime.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, that's right, and let me salute to lincdn Tech.
Lincoln Tech is a trade school all over the country.
You should definitely check them out if you're thinking about it.
They got automotive, they have weld, and they have electrical,
they have HVAC and now they have the new CDC
program where they can actually build things out of nothing.
So check out Lincoln Tech. That's why I support Lincoln
Tech so much.
Speaker 14 (16:41):
Where's Lincoln Tech?
Speaker 9 (16:42):
Yo?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
They have them everywhere.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
They got them in Jersey, they got them in Maryland,
they got them in the South, they got them in Texas, Atlanta,
They're all over the country. Get it off your chest
eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
you need the vent, you could definitely give us a call. Now, Lauren,
you got the other ladies coming up.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 15 (16:58):
Cardi B is talking about jay Z clearing imaginary players
and what that process is like.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
She's getting into all the details. So we are going
to talk about it.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
So she is sampling imaginary players Charlamae correct.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
He did behind the scenes.
Speaker 15 (17:19):
Yeah, but she she's talking a bit about the process,
and you know, some people are like, should she do it?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Should she not?
Speaker 9 (17:24):
She said she got the approval that matters, which was his.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
So she's moving before.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
We're gonna get into it. We're gonna get on all
the things, all.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Right, we'll get you that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
But yes, it's the World's most Dangerous Morning to show
The Breakfast Club Charlamagne and God dj N be just hilarious.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And now it's time for the Latest with Lawrence.
Speaker 16 (17:44):
Lauren becoming the street past.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
She gets somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
She'd be having the Latest on the Latest with Lauren
La Rosa sad. Sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
a little bit of every time, it's the latest on
the breakfast club to me.
Speaker 15 (18:06):
All right, y'all, So we are going to get into
Cardi B and all the things, but really quickly before
we go there, I did want to send a congratulations
to Beyonce talking about women in music. Beyonce won her
first Emmy Award this week for her Netflix special Beyonce Ball,
which was the concert she did at Christmas and on
Christmas in Texas that streamed on Netflix. And this puts
(18:26):
her halfway at egot status because she has Grammys and
now she has an Emmy, So congratulations to her.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, they had their own Emmy for Beyonce, so.
Speaker 15 (18:35):
They haven't they haven't actually come on yet. This was
the juried Emmy. So the way that the juried Emmys
are set up, there's like a pan or a group
of people who are like her peers or professionals that
get together, they vote, and then they make a decision.
But she is nominated for two other categories, so she
won uh the Emmy for Outstanding Costumes for Variety Non
Fiction and Reality Programming, And so basically the Look.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Within the Netflix special.
Speaker 15 (19:02):
Okay, yeah, because she she was listed. You know, she's
been listed as executive producer and also his live performer.
But she's also nominated for Outstanding Variety Special Live and
she's also nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special.
So how this goes is the jury Emmys. Like I said,
they sit down, they have a conversation, they vote, and
then they make a decision. That's the first Emmy that
(19:23):
she has, but the additional Emmys will come on and
they'll actually stream. So it takes place in la at
the Peacock Theater Saturday, September sixth and Sunday, September seventh.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Well, you learn something new every day. Beyonce got her
own Emmy.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Yeah, anybody else submitted like that.
Speaker 15 (19:39):
Yeah, so it's not just for They didn't make it
just for Beyonce. This happens all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I can't tell my narrative sound better. The Emmy's got
the Oh, Beyonce got her own Emmy, Harriet.
Speaker 15 (19:48):
She got her own internet. It's Beyonce's Internet, Beyonce's Emmys.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
And surely works hard. Yeah, she works very hard. I
saw some ways that she before she did this sore. No,
before she did the Renaissance store, she broke her knee
something like that. It was like a knee injury. She
had to have surgery on her knee. I'm sorry. Yeah,
she didn't break carney, but she had to have surgery
on her knee. This was before the Renaissance tour. So man,
she definitely works very hard.
Speaker 15 (20:09):
Yeah, And there was that video member she was taking
a picture with. I believe it was uh I Forget,
which one of the former Dusty Child members, But they
came to the tour with their kids and she sat
she'd been down and was.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
Like, oh my knee. And people was like, God, please
don't take Beyonce from us.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
We need the need. Yeah, I mean it can only
be La Toyatavia.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, it was a Toya his knees.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
But yeah, so congratulations to Beyonce.
Speaker 15 (20:34):
I did want to go there because then we were
about to talk about Cardi B. So Cardi B, we've
been talking about Imaginary Players, which is a seeing what
she has coming off of her new album that'll be
here soon, the new album, am I the Drama Now,
she talked about jay Z because a lot of people
were trying to figure out would this be a sample
of jay Z's Imaginary Players, which we confirmed in the room,
(20:54):
and Cardi B is now talking about her experience with
cleaning the record and people taking a listen.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Early it was.
Speaker 17 (20:59):
A lot of pop pads in the building and they
heard Imaginary Players and they absolutely love it.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
And I was so.
Speaker 17 (21:06):
Happy because I don't think you guys understand the song
is kind of long.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
This song is like a staple for me that.
Speaker 17 (21:13):
Have to get it approved by you want and only,
And if he didn't approve it, I probably would even
feel a certain type of way neither, because it would
have been like, Okay, maybe I just had to come
a little bit harder. But I'm glad that I came
hard and love it and everybody else love it. And
somebody came up to me and they said, I'm not
even gonna lie when you announce that you was doing
(21:36):
Imagining Players. I was a little nervous, but you you
ate that, And I was like, hey.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
If jay Z didn't like it, wouldn't have gotten clear.
So so I'm very interested in hearing it.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
On the front two. I am too.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
I'm so excited and I love the way that naturally.
I mean, I feel like Carti is, she's becoming at
the queens of like rollout. She has like her visuals
all the time and the photos and all that. Yes,
but I love that this feels like a rollout. But
I also loved that I feel like we're experiencing seeing
the dropping of the songs and the experience of her
getting things sampled in real time with her, like she's
going through it, she's getting online talking about it. It's
(22:07):
very like how Cardy is. It feels like we're going
along the journey of the album with her. So I
love that feeling as well. But Cardi also.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Say though, if if the song isn't good, then not
only are they gonna get at Cardi, they gonna get
that jay Z too for signing off.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Yes, very much so well. But I think I.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Think, like she said, if he didn't, if he didn't
sign off on it right, then she would feel like,
all right, I had to come harder. So she might have, man,
there might be some some some fire.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
Some buds she dropped. She might go crazy on it.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It's actually harder for you know, people my age, people
born in the nineteen hundreds to hear that record because
we've grown up on imaginary players. Imaginary players is so
much a part of our DNA. So I got to
get that out of my head. Completely, wash that off
my palette that taken a Cardi on Friday.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I think people hold
onto her.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yes, I know if you were more than nine hundred
and seven years.
Speaker 15 (22:57):
I don't mean I get it because I'm as old
as you. I meant that I got it because I
get that. You know that, y'all you hold on to
your things, like your prices, And how do you sedet.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
There thinking about that one?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
You got that off?
Speaker 9 (23:15):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 15 (23:16):
Well next, speaking of people and potential backlash with Cardi B,
Cardi B also talked about on a late night Twitter
spaces Tyler. She defended Tyler because Tyler has been undertand
scrutiny recently.
Speaker 17 (23:27):
Let's tay a listen, whether I speak or not, people
are gonna talk.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Look at Tyler.
Speaker 17 (23:33):
People been dragging this out of Tyler and it's like
the girl don't even address or talk about nothing. I'm
starting to feel that people just don't like celebrities. The
only way that people like celebrities if you don't say
nothing at all, and they beat your energy, they beat
your confidence.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
They beat you to the ground.
Speaker 17 (23:54):
To be honest with you, I don't even know the
hate about it because I never really got into the
details of why of what is the real hardcore thing? However,
all I do know is every single time I scrolled
down on my TikTok, there's a video of her and
people are talking and it's like, damn.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
What do you guys want her?
Speaker 9 (24:14):
What do you want her to do? Cut her veins
like enough, That's.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Exactly what they want. Body, they want blood, That's exactly
what they want. Because people are sitting at home and
their lives are miserable, so they always want to defficate
on somebody who looks like they're loving their life.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
But what the hell did Tyler to do?
Speaker 15 (24:30):
So, you know, the ethnicity conversation and that whole thing
when she called herself a colored woman. Yes, and even
in like the art because.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Very much heavy.
Speaker 15 (24:40):
So she's releasing music and trying to, you know, move
on with her life and when things don't do well.
A lot of people right now having a conversation about
if those comments are the reason why she's not translating
especially hearing the when she she put out a project
go ahead.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
But even when she had like her brandal, like she
had a brand deal with what's the headphone?
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Staying at the beats? They all up under that.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
They get like her rollout for beats like it was
everybody's comments, like they swarm her with just hate because.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
She won't speak directly to clarifying what she meant.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
But she.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
That, that's that's what Carty is talking about. Though they
keep they keep saying it.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Yeah, they're still running with it, like she hasn't explained.
Speaker 15 (25:21):
So and she put out a mixtap called WWP, but
people just been having a conversation about like how well
the music is or isn't sticking like you acts like,
oh she put out music and at one point Tyler
was when her music dropped, you felt the songs like
you knew she was everywhere on the radio.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
She was everywhere.
Speaker 15 (25:37):
But people are basically saying that now you know, fans
are just not feeling it as much as she was
so beloved when she first came out.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I do know, hit records are hard, right, like like
she had that hit record water that's hard to do again,
That's why the people like to Beyonce or the the
Taylor Swift, they get the Rihanna's, they get celebrated because
they've had multiple hits, the Drinks of the World, the Kindred.
When you're able to create multi sizza, multiple hits over
years and.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Years, that's hard to do. But maybe she just don't
have a hit.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
But but her music is good.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
It's just that when you put that on top of
somebody not liking you because you say like it.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Hit records transcend all that they put in people folks
don't like, but they come out with a hit record.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
A good record don't mean it's a hit record. It's
a difference.
Speaker 15 (26:22):
I will say, though, I think people just like a
narrative with Tyler because she has a song with I
was trying to look what the name is with whiz
Kids called Dynamite. I believe it's off of WWP and
people people love that song. But I think it's just
it depends on who you're talking to. TikTok and different
people and a lot of online conversations.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is it a top ten, top five, number one on Billboard?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That's what I'm saying. When you got an undeniable bop.
That's exactly. It's undeniable. Yeah, and nothing to stop an
undeniable bot.
Speaker 15 (26:52):
I'm trying to see I was trying to see what
Maye bill board from the the mixtape, but I don't
have it right now. So yes, that's in wrapping up
out to Tyler many y'all are Dave bruff on her hair?
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Shut up to Tyler.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Listen, we got front page news coming up next with
Morgan Woods. It's the World's most Dangerous moring short to
Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Everybody's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarrys, Charlamagne the God we are
to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Let's get in some front page news. What up Morgan?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Hey ya hey, so let's get into it.
Speaker 10 (27:18):
In international affairs, President Trump says his virtual meeting with
Ukrainian President Zelensky was a ten.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
He said that he'd rate.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
The call that also included Vice President Vance and European allies,
and the call came prior to his summit with Russian
President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska. Trump again said
the Ukraine Russia war is not his and it belongs
to President Biden, but he said he'll impose severe penalties
on Russia. If Putin won't agree to a deal, let's
(27:46):
take a listen to President Trump's plan to end the conflict.
Speaker 11 (27:49):
If the first one goes okay, we'll have a quick
second one.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I would like to do it almost immediately.
Speaker 11 (27:56):
And we'll have a quick second meeting between President and
President Zolynski and myself if they'd like to have me there.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Yeah, so again.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
Zelensky has said that Ukraine will not give up any
territory to Russia, and it will not give up trying
to gain NATO membership. Now, Russia has demanded Ukraine give
up land to reach the deal to end the war.
A President Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin will
not be diving into issues surrounding territory, and European leaders confirmed.
President Trump assured them of his plans during the meeting
(28:27):
with Ukrainian President Zelenski. Now, according to reports from the
Raw Street Journal, Trump told leaders he would negotiate territorial
issues or excuse me, he would not negotiate territorial issues
as that matter when he meets with Putin on Friday
in Alaska. So their territory and all that movement of
land and all of that.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Stuff is off the table as of right.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Now, then it should be.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
You know, if Trump can't stop any of these wars,
it really shows how weak America has looked at on
the global stage. Like he couldn't stop Israel from waging
war on you know, Gazla, which I don't think they
want that to stop. And if he can't stop the
Ukraine you know, Russia war. You know, it really is
another campaign promise that he did not keep. He said
that he was going to stop all of these wars
(29:09):
immediately on day one. He actually said these wars wouldn't
happen if he was in office, you know. So, so
if he can't stop any of these wars, it really
shows how weak America is looked at on the global stage.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Now, all right now, so switching gears.
Speaker 10 (29:21):
The Texas Senate approved the new congressional maps Tuesday in
an effort to give Republicans more seats in the House
of Representatives. Now, the district maps still needs to be
approved by the Texas State House, which has been in
a standstill since Democrats left the state to protest that move. Now,
nine Senate Democrats walked out yesterday to protest what they
called a corrupt process. The effort to redraw the maps
(29:43):
came on the at the request of President Trump. Now,
a special session in the Texas Legislature now ends on Friday.
Brough Republicans are not giving up their plan to redraw
those congressional boundaries. House Speaker Dustin Burroughs says the governor
is committed to calling as many special sessions as needed
to pass redistricting. Let's take a listen to House Speaker
(30:03):
Dustin Burrows.
Speaker 13 (30:04):
If we still do not have quorum on Friday, the
a Governor will immediately issue a proclamation for a second
called special session. He is committed to calling us back
again and again and again until our work is done.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Interesting fact about these special sessions. They cost apparently the
state more than one million dollars when you factor in
lawmaker pay security and electricity for the Capitol building. So
if that's paid out to the legislature's operating budget budget,
meaning there is less cash for other things. So and
of course this comes as a report says Democrats are
(30:40):
actually prepared to return to Texas over the weekend because
that special session ends on Friday, So we'll see what
comes of that. Remember, they're supposed to be facing fines
and possible arrests and things of that nature. So we'll
see what happens as those Dems supposedly return back to
Tech for this congressional map.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
And this is this is my last story back in DC.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Back in Washington, DC, and man is facing federal charges
after throwing a substyle, hokey style sandwich at customs at Ice,
basically Customs and Border Protection agents who were patrolling with
Metro Transit police on Sunday. His name is Sean Dunn,
and he's seen in a viral video approaching the officer
while saying they are not wanted in d C. After
(31:25):
several minutes of confrontation of him being in his face
and cursing and saying some other thing, Done then hits
the officer in the chest with the sandwich. Now, he
then took off running and it seems like they caught.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
Up with him.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
He was later arrested and admitted to the incident of
being processed. Done has not yet entered a plea, and
a court record show no attorney listed for his defense.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
And I just want to say, they're saying, Man, what
kind of sandwich was it?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
You stupid?
Speaker 10 (31:52):
There is a subway nearby though, so it But I
just want to say this to people who don't know.
You know, a lot of people have these state laws
and things like that, DC is always just the fits.
I'm gonna just go ahead and put it out there
like that. If you want to come to DC, just
understand that you're going to always be dealing on a
federal level, So everything in terms of charges is going
(32:13):
to be amplified. You can't come out here and do something,
you know, and and break the law and it's going
to be an easy task.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
I'll just say that, even.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
Parking tickets can tend to be a little difficult. So
for someone who is coming into d C. To the
Mayor's point, as she said earlier this week.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Just follow the laws.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
That's all I said.
Speaker 10 (32:32):
So that's what I'm Morgan Wood. You can follow me
on socials at Morgan Media. For more news coverage, follow

Speaker 9 (32:41):
Thank y'all and be safe.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
All right now, when we come back, we have the
president and CEO of MECKISIC and MCKISIC, the nation's oldest
minority in women own design and construction firm. Cheryl mckizick Daniel,
we'll be talking to her. She has a new book out,
so don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Everybody is sej and jes hilarious.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Long Rosa is here with us as well, and we
got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
The new book is out right now.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
The Black Family who built America, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
She's back. Cheryl mckissic Daniel.
Speaker 14 (33:14):
Welcome, Thank you, thank you, to see you.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Good to see you too.
Speaker 14 (33:18):
You look younger.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I love that.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
Love that.
Speaker 14 (33:23):
Okay, whatever he's doing, I need some of that.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
So for people that didn't hear when you came up
here last time but didn't read the book yet, explain
what your family has done for this country, the Black
family who built America. Break it down from your great
great grandfather, how he started and where it came from.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Moses, Moses McKissick. That's right, okay.
Speaker 18 (33:42):
So let me start with saying I am the proud
CEO of a fifth generation business in America, and I
know Charlemagne keeps calling it seven generations.
Speaker 14 (33:52):
He's just calling in the girl behind me and her.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Children, my grand she was one of the producers.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Like it's fifth.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
Because that's what it's going to be, right, it's manifesting.
Speaker 18 (34:06):
So we date back two hundred and thirty years in
this country, uh, starting with the first descent of our family,
Moses mciswick the first, who came to this country in
seventeen ninety as a slave and was taught to trade
of making brick. His son was Moses McKissick the second,
and he was a master carpenter, and he actually started
(34:30):
in North Carolina, but he was given as a gift
to the Cheers family in Nashville, Tennessee spring Hill, And
so that's when the mcisicks moved from North Carolina to Tennessee.
Speaker 14 (34:43):
He had seven girls.
Speaker 18 (34:45):
And then seven boys, and his first son is Moses
mckizick the third and his brother Calvin, and they became
the first black licensed architects in America. They were known
because they traveled off through the Northeast and the South.
They built over six thousand churches, They built thirteen fourteen
(35:08):
historically black colleges, all the colleges, all the buildings at
Fisk University are pretty much designed by Calvin and Moses mckiswick.
Maharry Medical School, Tennessee State University, what's the one that tusky?
(35:29):
And so they worked all through the South. They also
got an opportunity to go to Haiti and work with
paper Papa Doc and then over to Africa.
Speaker 14 (35:39):
So these men were very innovative.
Speaker 18 (35:43):
And the company was then passed down to my father,
William de Barry mckiswick. And so now we're four generations
in if you haven't lost count.
Speaker 14 (35:54):
And then the.
Speaker 18 (35:55):
Company was passed down to my mother, who was a
fierce leader by herself, and then eventually I stepped in
and took over the company as the fifth generation.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
You know what I love about that?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
And I joke with my kids all the time, right
and I said, you know, when I passed, I said,
I'm gonna leave all everything. I said, but there's one
thing that I need And I said, I want to
put a family portrait of me and my wife in
the house. And they said, well why, I said, a
lot of times in our family we forget about grandfather's
great grandfathers and what they've established and brought to us,
(36:26):
because it's like.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Time moves so fast, especially so the fact that you.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Can break down all that you know, your kids will
be able to break down that down. Your grandkids will
be able to break that down. And that's something that
I feel like we miss. You know, when people pass,
you know, we're sad and then we.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Forget about it.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
But these are the people that started our lives, started
generational wealth. We talk about all the time, and I
feel like, especially in black families, we should have that,
we should know, Like I don't know my great grandfather.
I don't know much about them because my grandfather didn't
talk about it and my parents didn't talking about them.
But it's one of those things. It's like we move on.
And I love the fact that that is so built
(37:06):
into your family that y'all keep talking about it, You
keep mentioning, and you keep talking about the great things
that your family has done.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I love that.
Speaker 18 (37:14):
You know, what you just said is so powerful. But
it's so easy to record what's happening in your family.
Just do a family tree. Just start a family tree
with the individuals that you do know. I remember being
like nine or ten years old, my mother said, look
at this, we just found the family tree and I'm like,
(37:36):
I was fascinated by it. So that was the beginning
of me really trying to get this story out. I
remember taking that family tree to my father's office and
turning it.
Speaker 14 (37:47):
Into a real structural plan. I mean it was like
as huge.
Speaker 18 (37:54):
As a blueprint for a building because it dated back
to my great great grandfather.
Speaker 14 (38:01):
But I kept losing it.
Speaker 18 (38:04):
I mean I totally redid it, beautiful print and everything.
Speaker 14 (38:09):
You can't find it.
Speaker 18 (38:11):
So now when it's time to do the book, I'm like, well,
the one thing we need is a family treat because
people are getting lost in the shuffle of.
Speaker 14 (38:17):
Reading all of this.
Speaker 18 (38:19):
So a couple of weeks ago, I go visit my
mother and I'm cleaning out one of her George and bam, the.
Speaker 14 (38:25):
Original one I saw the very beginning. That's God. And
so what I would say to.
Speaker 18 (38:32):
Everyone is just start writing it down and have someone responsible.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
To keep it. Let them crack it.
Speaker 18 (38:40):
That is why we ended up giving a lot of
our artifacts to the African American Museum on the Mall
because I kept losing the original license. Well, you put
them in your office, you know, actually restore them, and
we make replicas of the license and of the pictures
and things like that. But then when it comes time
(39:02):
when you move, you're like, oh my god, where is it?
I told Chan my pr consult, I said, Chan, I
am tired of losing this. What are we gonna do?
We're gonna give it to the museum and they will
keep it forever. And so that's that's important that you know,
we keep up with our family legacy because everyone has one.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
And you see what all the time with you know
when you see white people like they do it all
the time, right, like love him, I hate him. You
know who Donald Trump's father is, right? You know who
Donald Trump's grandfather is, right, because he talks about him
all the time. You hear the story about his father
that gave.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Him a millionaire. You hear those stories.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
But a lot of the great great grandparents that you
end up losing track of your father and your grandparents.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
That's easy because that's generate.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Trump's son and Trump's grandson will always know about the
grandfather that gave Donald Trump the million dollars to start
his somebody, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
But you know those stories always talk because you hear
about the stories, and we need talk about hours more.
Speaker 15 (40:01):
I think It's a little different for us too, because
like when my grandmother, she always talks about how like
they weren't they didn't keep records or things because they
just it wasn't something that was normal in the household,
Like you didn't have pictures of certain people, you didn't,
so then.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
That gets passed down. It's just something you don't know
to do.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Also with black people, they didn't care about us enough
to give us our records, records.
Speaker 18 (40:19):
They threw them out, throw them out, but they didn't care.
But I still think you can find it. It's just
genealogy and getting the genealogists to help you, you know,
go through it. I mean we went back well with
Nick Childs. We went back to spring Hill, Tennessee, and
went through records of you know, the slaves that were
actually working on the mckisick house and the Cheers house,
(40:44):
and there were records, you know. I mean they try
to erase them, but they can't. I mean they're graves.
So I think everyone can contract their family history.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Still kicking it with Cheryl mckizick, Daniel the president and
CEO of MRE and McKissick. Now that's the nation's oldest
minority in women owned design and construction firm. She has
a new book out right now, Charlemagne.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
When I read this book and I see how this
empire started in the eighteen hundreds, it reminds me of
how resilient Black people are. Yeah, we can navigate our
way through anything. So it gave me a sense of hope,
especially for the.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Times that we're in now. Has it always given you
that sense of that?
Speaker 18 (41:23):
Yeah, I mean, you know, if you think about it,
one in five businesses fail the first year. Sixty five
percent fell in ten years, and the average family business
only lasts twenty four years. Now, the chances for a
family business to pass down to a second generation, it's
(41:43):
like sixty percent.
Speaker 14 (41:45):
The chances of.
Speaker 18 (41:46):
It pass into a third is fourteen And I mean
to a third is fourteen percent, and to a fourth
generation is three percent. So here we are at five generations.
I think what we do in the book is we
make a case as to how the Mechusics were able
to do that, and it goes all the way back
(42:07):
to slavery. So slavery was different in every state, you know,
like North Carolina was probably the most lenient of slaves
at the time. Compared to let's say Alabama and some other.
Speaker 14 (42:21):
States South Carolina, South.
Speaker 18 (42:23):
Carolina, and really it's because they didn't have as many
of the huge plantations. Slave masses have more like twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen slaves. So the slaves were more like extended family.
They weren't really they didn't have to be.
Speaker 14 (42:39):
Suppressed because just think about it.
Speaker 18 (42:41):
We went to spring Hill, Tennessee, and we saw a
plantation where there was a family of five people, but
there were three hundred slaves working for them.
Speaker 14 (42:52):
So who had the power, right, So you have.
Speaker 18 (42:56):
To suppress the three hundred people if you want to survive.
And so it wasn't like that in North Carolina. So
we make that case that, you know, the leniency of
slavery in that state must have helped the mcisocks get
to where they are. And then the fact that slave
(43:16):
masters after slavery still needed the craft and services that
we provided, so they put us in business. And so
the mckusicks were put in business by their slave masters.
Speaker 14 (43:30):
The loss mckiswick the second had his first company.
Speaker 18 (43:36):
And so you know, this was during the time where
we had Tulsa, so we had the Black Wall Street
and this was all over the country happening. I mean,
this did not change until Birth of a Nation. And
I don't know if you read down in the Boloo,
but that's why I was so excited to launch the
book last week in Martha's Vineyard at the African American
(43:57):
Film Festival, because it is the complete opposite of what
was happening in Hollywood one hundred years ago with Birth
of a Nation that depicted us as ignorant, subhuman sexual predators.
And you know, it's golded white people who thought maybe
(44:21):
we should reach out.
Speaker 14 (44:22):
You know, they're trying to figure out what to do.
Speaker 18 (44:24):
You were a slave one day and now you're a
business the next day.
Speaker 14 (44:28):
They're patronizing you. There.
Speaker 18 (44:30):
Some people are just they're good people, and so this
film scolded them and said to them, listen, if you
patronize these businesses, or if you have any empathy or
sympathy for black.
Speaker 14 (44:45):
People, you shouldn't.
Speaker 18 (44:47):
And then for others who hated us, it gave them
the license to just kill us.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
And it's still more fearing them as to why they
should never give us any political power.
Speaker 18 (44:58):
I mean, the fear is still here today. And that
was the rebirth of the klu Klux Klan, you know this,
And because it was economically so successful, it was.
Speaker 14 (45:11):
Really like the beginning of Hollywood.
Speaker 18 (45:14):
So Hollywood was birthed with this racial movie about black people.
So now to be in Martha's vineyard and to go
to all of those black films that really tell the
truth about us. You know, all the women aren't skinny
with long blonde hair.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 18 (45:38):
I went to see Ebony Canal, which is about the
problem we're having with black women pregnancy, getting pregnant, delivering
healthy children, and our children living past a year, you know,
and I was so glad to see that the women
really did look black, nothing sanitized. And that's what we
(46:02):
have to do is tell our stories. And that's what
our book does. It's a receipt.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
You know.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
I'm glad that you brought the TV part of it
up because I remember when they were going to turn
your story into a television show, yeah, with paramount, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Like, that's never probably right. But it's because when you.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
But when you showcase these type of stories, and I'm
glad we were able to publish the book, but when
you showcase these type of stories, it provides inspiration. He
does the exact opposite of what films.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Like The Birth of a Nation opposite.
Speaker 18 (46:31):
Yes, yeah, uh, because that was detrimental. I mean because
of that, I believe it's the root of Tulsa being
burned and you know, Chester, Pennsylvania, all across the nation
where black people were thriving. If they had just left
us alone right now, this picture would be totally different
(46:52):
than it is today.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
I do have to ask, you know, when I speak
to a lot of black company owners and construction company owners,
they say, one of the hardest things is these companies
don't pay out when they're supposed to, right So it's like,
you know, let's say they have a net thirty, net sixty,
net ninety. We're supposed to get paid in these times,
and it's like a lot of times they feel like,
especially with the black companies, they don't have the necessarily
the money to hold until they actually do get paid.
(47:17):
Do you have to deal with that a lot when
it comes to these these companies when you're building these
things and things like that, because a lot of companies
actually fold because they're old money and they just can't survive.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
You got to read the book.
Speaker 14 (47:31):
That's no that's that's definitely a problem. Okay when you and.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
They seem like it seems like it has that happens
to us more than others.
Speaker 14 (47:41):
Okay.
Speaker 18 (47:42):
So the bottom line is real estate and construction is
a capital intense business, right, you got to have some
serious money, some serious relationship if you're building airports.
Speaker 14 (47:53):
Schools, you know, anything in New York.
Speaker 18 (47:55):
I mean, renovating a kitchen is a million dollars in
New York. Okay, so you crazy, you gotta have money.
And so it's very difficult to bridge that gap as
a new contractor coming in. And so what we do
is we create what's called an impress account. So let's
(48:17):
take JFK Terminal one, and you know, this is the
difference between having, you know, having black ownership at the
top of the food chain because we have Jim Rentals,
Louke Capitol, and Magic Johnson. But we were able to
do an impress account, meaning we could pay contractors extremely
(48:40):
quickly before thirty days. Because the bottom line is, if
your construction is faulty in any way, you're going to
see it. As long as you're inspecting on a regular basis,
you're going to see if there's a problem. So if
a contractor, you know, gets paid a little bit more
(49:00):
and they still have to come back and fix something.
So what that's contractors are used to tearing down a
wall and putting it back up as long as you
catch it. And so that helps contractors a lot because
cash flow is extremely important here because if you miss
your union dues by a few days, your workers don't
(49:22):
show up and the union doesn't mess around with that.
They want their union dues and they want the union
to be paid. So you got to pay for that.
You got to get your materials to the job. So
when you're a contractors, a lot of that money is
flowing from you to other sources, if it's your payroll,
(49:43):
if it's your equipment or what have you, and you're
only keeping a fraction of it to yourself. And so
if you don't get paid on time, or if you
have to borrow money, that's eating into your actual profit.
Speaker 14 (49:57):
And so yeah, that is a serious problem. Access to capital.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Was still kicking it with Cheryl mcizick Daniel, the president
and CEO of mckisick and McKissick. Now that's the nation's
oldest minority in women owned design and construction firm.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
She has a new book out right now.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
Charlemagne, you talked to just about some of the challenges
you faced when y'all were involved with the Barclay Center
in Brooklyn.
Speaker 18 (50:20):
You know, that was when I look back on that experience,
it was probably one of the best because I remember
sitting just watching TV and hearing Bruce Radner was going
to buy this team and build this arena.
Speaker 14 (50:35):
And I knew Brooklyn was, you know, had a high.
Speaker 18 (50:38):
Percentage of African Americans, and that the politicians there were
strong and they were going to make sure that minorities
or African Americans were a part of this development.
Speaker 14 (50:52):
And so I remember just thinking.
Speaker 18 (50:54):
Okay, let me make a list of all the black politicians, ministers,
people who run organizations, and I'm going out and I'm
meeting all of them.
Speaker 14 (51:06):
And in the.
Speaker 18 (51:07):
First four or five I met Berta Lewis, and you
talking about a.
Speaker 14 (51:12):
Force of nature.
Speaker 18 (51:13):
I mean, Bertha Lewis was well respected because if you
didn't respect her, she was gonna picket your sight and
I mean.
Speaker 14 (51:23):
Really turn it out.
Speaker 18 (51:25):
So she became really good friends with Bruce Ratner. She
had a real knack for finding compromise. You know, some
people are all or nothing. She found great compromise and
so people like Bruce Ratner respected her. The next thing,
i know, she's flying around on his.
Speaker 9 (51:45):
Plane and I'm like, Okay, she's in.
Speaker 14 (51:49):
I know, I'm in. And that's how it works.
Speaker 18 (51:52):
You know, it's important that we really worked together as
a race. You know, all of us working together will
make a difference. You know, like Charlemagne, you saying I
will publish your book. That is black solidarity. That is
really working together. That is when black people I can
(52:15):
go in a room and I can talk about you
and you're not there, and I can say something positive
and support you. That's what we need to happen all
the time. We need sponsors at high levels doing that
all the time. The Gym Rentals and Magic Johnson's, I
can't talk about them enough and what they've done. We're
(52:38):
at a billion dollars at JFK Terminal one spent with
MWBE firms because of their leadership, their risk. It was
a risk for them to own this airport and putting
their money where their mouth is, and so we were
able to help local black firms and Queen in Manhattan
(53:01):
and Brooklyn. I mean it's a beautiful story I can
go back to. And this is in the book. I
was in Martha's vineyard for the launch of the book
and Wendy and George Van Ampsen walked in.
Speaker 14 (53:14):
So Wendy and George are in my book.
Speaker 18 (53:17):
Because when I had my first payroll that I could
not make, I called five black investment bankers and they
all gave me money. They all let me borrow money
from them. And they were two of them, and first
I got the wife first, and she said, I'm gonna
make George write you a check too, you know. And
(53:37):
that's how we have to do it. We have to
work together. And so Barkley Arena is that story, you know,
working with Londell McMillan, Roger Green, black politician back then.
You know, they went into Bruce Radner with Bertha Lewis
and they said, listen, we don't care who you bring
(53:59):
in on.
Speaker 14 (54:00):
The majority side, but you're gonna work with.
Speaker 18 (54:03):
Chisic and mckissic because that's who we want, because we
know that they're gonna pay it for it, They're gonna
make sure our community goes to work. And so Barkley
Arena is like all of that coming together. Black solidarity
coming together and making it happen.
Speaker 2 (54:23):
About the merchant that they asked.
Speaker 9 (54:25):
Okay that y'all didn't bring us.
Speaker 14 (54:27):
By the way, y'all know, we ran out in the vineyard.
Speaker 18 (54:32):
Everybody. Everybody wanted a T shirt and it is it's
really catchy. But they ask and the back says.
Speaker 14 (54:42):
Who built this?
Speaker 18 (54:43):
And the reason why that significant is because people walk
in their own church, they can walk in a hospital,
walk through a train station. People can say, oh, it's
it feels nice. I like this environment, but no one says, well,
who built this? No one asked the question who designed this?
You know? Is is there a connection between Terminal one
(55:06):
and j f K and LaGuardia Central Terminal?
Speaker 14 (55:11):
Like who who built this?
Speaker 18 (55:13):
And so we want to bring awareness to that, for
people to say who built this and for people to
get interested in the real estate design and construction profession.
And of course we say we did.
Speaker 9 (55:29):
MCI, that's amazing, that's amazing. Always has that though he
does ask like, wherever we go to who build this?
He did? Please?
Speaker 6 (55:41):
Please, it's don't even get that he.
Speaker 2 (55:49):
Asked that all the time.
Speaker 9 (55:50):
To go to museums, we going to say he who
built this?
Speaker 14 (55:52):
Like he maybe he has a you know, he likes construction.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
Where do you think she was going a little bit?
Speaker 18 (56:12):
Well, we just ordered five hundred T shirts because we're
going to her best best I know that's right. So
you will all get your T shirts before we go
down there, please, because.
Speaker 9 (56:25):
They you ain't gonna leave with none.

Speaker 15 (58:35):
Now, this additional body cam chose a whole no remorse
whatsoever for that Shakari had for Christian in this situation.

Speaker 17 (59:36):
But y'all thought me hands on him, Okay, and y'all
didn't even listen to the woman's out of the story.
But y'all except the fact I wasn't on the videos.
Speaker 9 (59:44):
I'm in a domestic violent relationship, and.
Speaker 2 (59:46):
Y'all catches you. I can show you probably been in
a domestic violent relationship.
Speaker 3 (59:51):
I don't know how you continue in a relationship after that.
I don't I got if we're together. I don't know
how you can say what about him? Yeah, she was
just ready to throw them.
Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
I can provide.
Speaker 9 (01:00:02):
I mean, if y'all give me a chance, I got
videos of him assault me like I.
Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Need me, Like God Jesus.
Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
The ill part of that does when she said, Christian,
you say this right now? She started say I'm a beach.
She stopped her stuff like I'm.
Speaker 15 (01:00:18):
The way she looked in the video, I was like, Oh,
they do this, this is this is dance. They don't
even the police. It was one of the agents. So
this is what It's crazy. When you watch the video,
they're literally at a security checkpoint, like you know you're
about to go into like past the like TSA or whatever.
When all this is happening in the video, she clearly
does touch him.
Speaker 9 (01:00:38):
She pushes him.
Speaker 15 (01:00:39):
He goes against the wall, and she's trying to get
around he's trying to get around him.
Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Walk away.
Speaker 15 (01:00:44):
Yes, but they're right at security, so people are seeing it.
So they the TSA agents, and the agents called the
police inside of the airport.
Speaker 9 (01:00:51):
He didn't call.
Speaker 15 (01:00:52):
Actually, there's another part of the body care when police
first approached them, where he tries to like cover for
the situation.
Speaker 9 (01:00:58):
Let's say, listen to Christian domestic bonus.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
He's not well, he doesn't doesn't have a domestic relationship.
Speaker 10 (01:01:09):
I would still fall.
Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Due to Yeah, I understand that, but I mean it's said.
Speaker 8 (01:01:13):
It's no.
Speaker 19 (01:01:15):
There's cameras on every inch of this place. I just
got done watching camera flitch. I want to tell me
what actually happened. She throws her zones at you. Okay,
you guys, come ever here. Clearly you can tell us
that he to talk going on, but she shoved your ass.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Hey, compare him talking to police to her talking to police.
I'm nobody therapist, but I would tell you the run king. Now,
she's gonna catch you if she changed you. But I'm
just telling you you might need to run.
Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Well, he's on him. Compare him talking to police.
Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Well, her is a little different because he's not getting arrested.
I mean, if he was getting rested, he might be
talking a little differently too. I don't think he'd be
throwing her under the bus like that. No, I don't
think you're throwing under the bus. But you know, obviously
they're in relationship where where they put hands with each
other before and it's not healthy. That is definitely not healthy,
and that definitely needs to be fixed. A lot of
people are in relationships and started off in relationships like that.
It comes usually from insecurity or whatever the problems is.
(01:02:05):
But they need to get fixing it in their relationship.
I would hate for them to lose anything because they're
in a young couple of relationship.
Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Yeah, I happened.
Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
Hopefully they can get it fixed before they lose too
much more.
Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Well, they got to deal with the consequences of their actions,
both of them. But I just yes to the bigger point.
None of this sounds healthy, Like, none of this sounds
like and it's not worth it.
Speaker 9 (01:02:24):
They're both athletes, like, got something good going for themselves.
Speaker 15 (01:02:29):
Yeah, you know, I know her, but him, isn't he
like he's a huge Yeah, veryful.
Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
She can't catch him, yes she can, no, no, no,
she can catch quick and she can see them. Yeah
did you catch the man beat them?
Speaker 9 (01:02:44):
And I was going to say, did you see the
videos they raised hill?
Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Dus know she wi you said he's a sprinter? What's
the fastest time? Because she see this man. I hate
to be the guy to have to say this, but
he's a man. She's a woman, Okay, all.
Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
Right, doesn't mean that I think she's one of the fastest,
one of the fastest women in the Okay.
Speaker 9 (01:03:00):
All right, sure, all right, some women are Caitlyn is
faster than brust huh ain't what peop Kristen Coleman.
Speaker 15 (01:03:11):
Back in twenty twenty three uh NBC sports set, Christian
Coleman matched the world's fastest.
Speaker 9 (01:03:16):
One hundred time this year nine point eight three seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
What's put some respect on my girl?
Speaker 8 (01:03:24):
Name?
Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
What carry fast? I'm just saying, this is a man
and woman.
Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
If he's the fastest at the time out of you know,
maybe right, but she's but your speed, don't.
Speaker 9 (01:03:33):
She had about agenda? It is your strength with your speed.
Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Let you do it.
Speaker 15 (01:03:38):
So USA Today says in twenty four Chakari Chikari qualified
or carry qualified for the Olympic team by running one
hundred meter and ten point seventy one seconds.
Speaker 9 (01:03:48):
So he's faster. That's according to.
Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Man y'o that fast. He's a printed that's mean. It does,
it does?
Speaker 8 (01:03:57):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Women, tell me how about you? How about you have
proven that you're another brother of that conversation.
Speaker 15 (01:04:09):
Stoff, what else you got, Jess? I know you're excited
about this one. Kim Kardashian and Kloyd Kardashian are now
getting involved in the search for Amy Bradley.
Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Oh my god, did they find her?
Speaker 9 (01:04:18):
They haven't yet so started.
Speaker 15 (01:04:20):
Yes, they literally just started so quickly as we wrap.
So basically, Kim Kardashian was watching the special, she posted
it on her insert story, and then she got in
contact with Amy Bradley's family. She was talking to Ammy
Bradley's mom for an hour last Thursday, according to TMZ,
and she says that you know or they believe that
there is something there. Specifically, Kim Kardashian is interested in this,
(01:04:42):
like IP address from Barbados that keeps checking the Amy
Bradley is Missing website. So they doing it on holidays
like where she would miss her family most, right, So
I think it's her. A lot of people speculate that
they think it's her because it happens on her birthday,
major holidays.
Speaker 7 (01:04:57):
Like.
Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
Sixty years old right now, so she would still be
a sex worker.
Speaker 14 (01:05:01):
She would be Uh they got old sex workers like that.
Speaker 6 (01:05:06):
I was all right, but yeah, no, no, no, but
even still so crazy, even still, she could still.
Speaker 9 (01:05:13):
Be alive and out there, you know what I mean.
She probably running it now or something. You know, they
probably got her, got her, you know, a nice little
fied position in the company.
Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
I haven't watched the documentary. What makes you all think
she's alive?
Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
I'm just asking it just because there's an IP address
that's in Barbados right, every and her she still has
like her Instagram, like her family still has like Facebook, right,
and they post Happy Birthday to her every year since
she's been missing, they post Merry Christmas to her, and uh,
that same IP address.
Speaker 9 (01:05:41):
Always comes and views it, likes it the post.
Speaker 6 (01:05:44):
And everything, So they think it's her. Okay, whatever, I'm
telling you, they're gonna find her. They had to find her.
Speaker 9 (01:05:53):
Kim Kardashiy and Chloe are involved, and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
We'll see that same IP address that is the latest
will harden. Now just fix my message coming up in
a little bit. If you need some fixing of your relationship,
you can get on the phone lines eight hundred and
five eight five, one oh five one if you need
just to fix your mess. But before that, Charlomage will
give your dounkey two.
Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
I mean, let's talk about fixing some things. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
We keep having all these conversations about youth crime in America.
Let's have a discussion about it. I need these two
teenagers in my home state of South Carolina to come
to the front of the congregation. I don't know their
names because they are juveniles. But it's just a teachable
moment here, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,
the breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 9 (01:06:35):
Your execution on the donkey of the day is something
to go hold to be the reason they gave me
donkey other day, and I deserve that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
You need to know.
Speaker 9 (01:06:43):
You need to tell them I am you tell them.
Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
It's a read.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
But you're so good at Charlamagne. You know what you
wants Charlamage.
Speaker 9 (01:06:57):
Yeah, Solomae, who do you give a dusky the other
day too?
Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Now? Well, sexy read Donkey Today for Thursday August fourteenth
goes to two teenagers in my home state of South Carolina.
They're teenagers, so I don't have their names. But this
isn't really about them. It's about us, Okay, a teachable moment. See,
I'm thinking about President Trump and the federal takeover DC,
the police, and you know, mobilization as a national guard.
Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
Yes, we know.
Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
This is yet another distraction that the Trump administration has
created to attempt to get people to stop talking about
the Epstein files. But listening to the President cite a
lot of false and misleading claims about murder and youth
crime in the nation's capital got me thinking, just because
the data and information he may have cited is wrong,
doesn't mean that youth crime and DC and all over
the country isn't happening. Because, let's be honest, we all
(01:07:41):
know it is, and we all know why it is
because the powers that be aren't doing anything to truly
combat crime in our communities.
Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
They never have.
Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
Okay, if you aren't addressing the social and economic factors
that contribute to crime, then you're not serious about combating crime.
But we're gonna get back to that because I need
to talk about these teenagers. In South Carolina, two juveniles
have been detained for stealing a train and causing a
derail meet. This is impressive, stupid, but impressive because I've never, ever, ever,
ever heard of somebody commit a crime like this.
Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
Let's go to NBC four for the report.
Speaker 20 (01:08:11):
Police two teams in Lawrence County are facing charges for
taking a joy ride in a train. Lawrence police said
happened sometimes Saturday night. They say two juveniles unlawfully entered
both the Carolina Piedmont Railroad and CSX Transportation Railroad facilities
and stole a train. Investigators say they drove around the
rail yard and when they tried to return the engines,
they crashed into.
Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Parked railcars, causing a derailment.
Speaker 20 (01:08:33):
Official say both those teams face several charges that include
second degree burglary, grand larceny, and malicious damage to property.
Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
Listen, I need all my nieces and nephews out there,
please listen to your uncle Shalah. If you can take
the time to unlawfully into a railroad facility and figure
out how to start an engine of a train that
was connected to two other trains and then drive those
three trains around the yard before taking them onto the
rail line that connects toward Greenville, if you can figure
out how to do all that, damn it, you can
do anything. Okay, there is literally nothing in your mind
(01:09:04):
can conceive that you can achieve because your brain told
you to do this and.
Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
You did it. First of all, my whole life, I've
never thought about driving a train ever.
Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
But those are the kinds of thoughts that if we
were investing in our kids the way we should, they
could share with us and we could help them become
an actual train operator. I wish that these two kids
would have told an adult that Hey, I want to
drive a train, and then that adult could connect them
with someone who could make that dream come true for them. Okay,
like a ride along program or something. Because I just
googled this morning, how do you become a railroad train operator?
(01:09:33):
And correct me if I'm wrong. All the railroad train
operators out there, but from what.
Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
I see, the requirements are pretty basic, Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
You could become a railroad train operator by having a
high school diploma or the equivalent of it. It says
you got to pass a physical exam and complete training
and certification through the Federal Railroad Administration. And entry level
positions often require on the job training and advancement to
engineer roles. They typically involve years of experience as a conductor,
and they make pretty decent money.
Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
The best paying jobs and railroads include locomotive engineers. They
earn around eighty five grand a year, railroad conductors make
about sixty five a year, railroad yard masters which I
don't even know what that is, earn up to seventy
grand a year, and signalance which operators can make over
eighty grand. My point is, kids, if you can spend
time and energy doing the wrong thing, you can use
that same time and energy to do the right thing.
Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
But this is where we, okay, come into play. We
are feeling a lot of our kids.
Speaker 7 (01:10:26):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
I already know that Trump administration wants to make America
a police state, but making America a police state isn't
going to solve the problem. You really want to combat crime,
you have to deal with the social and economic factors
that contribute the crime. You know why I invest so
much of my personal time, energy, and resources into mental
health initiatives. It's because I understand that if you help
(01:10:47):
someone be the best version of themselves mentally and emotionally.
Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
You make society better. Okay, when you help.
Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Someone deal with their unheald trauma and that pain and
hurt the individual is feeling, when you help them get
some healing, they don't go out here and project that
pain and hurt on the other people. Okay, but that
is dealing with what's in people's head and heart. We
got to start dealing with what is in people's pockets.
Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Okay. Acting like poverty and crime don't go hand in
hand is retarded. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
You have to give these kids opportunity and something to do.
Idle mind is a devil's playground. When kids don't have
nothing to do and no legal means and making ends meet,
they will resort to crime unless you provide them with opportunity.
We know the answers to all these problems. Are governments
know the answers to these problems. Okay, We got to
stop saying the system is broken all right. It's designed
(01:11:37):
to do exactly what it's doing. For example, you want
kids to not turn the crime.
Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
You need strong family support, which is why this system
goes out its way to tell families apart. You need
positive community involvement, after school programs, recreational activities, mentorship programs,
community engagement, youth clubs, religious groups. You have to give
these kids a real sense of belonging. But they cutting
funding for a lot of these programs. As they know
it gives them purpose. Of course, education, of course, job
(01:12:03):
training and employment opportunities. Okay, social and emotional development. That
goes into the education piece. They need to have social
and emotional learning from pre K to twelfth grade. Teach
these kids empathy and compassion, conflict resolution skills. We know
the solutions to these problems, but we don't implement them
because the school the prison pipeline is big business. Now,
(01:12:26):
let me get back to the real root cause poverty
and inequality. Okay, address that and you're getting right to
the root cause of reducing the risk factor associated with crime.
Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Mental health support. I will stress that until the day
I die. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Help them deal with their trauma and emotional distress early
intervention programs. Okay, target these at risk youth, not by
militarizing the police and sending the FEDS into these cities.
Target them with early intervention programs that can prevent them
from developing harmful.
Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Behaviors and trajectories.
Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Okay, trade schools, THEAM programs, job call and once again,
mental health services.
Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
See when I look at these kids who went for
a joy ride on this train before they deralted, I
don't see lost causes.
Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
Okay, I see the right energy going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
Because once again, if they can come up with it
and idea to go into a railroad facility, start a
train and drive it, then they can walk into a
trade school and learn how to do HVAC. Okay, they
can go to school in major and anything in steam.
But we have to be their guide. We have to
guide them because it ain't nobody coming to save us,
because the upward mobility of these young kings and queens
(01:13:35):
is not part of the plan of their system. Please
give these young teenagers to stole that train in South Carolina,
the biggest SA hall. But whatever me Look, oh yeah,
I knew that already. Hi Jess, how are you are

I'm not even giving, Like I don't killed my baby mother,
I don't have text mess you, Hey, what are you doing?
You're good?
Speaker 7 (01:16:03):
How are you? None of that?
Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
So you've never given her only reason to think that
there is still something going on, or even little sparks
are there between you and your ex wife.
Speaker 7 (01:16:12):
Right.
Speaker 8 (01:16:13):
The only reason you can say that she's gonna say
is that on two years, three years ago, for Christmas,
you know, I lived with my son. My son lives
with me, my other two kids of her, he came
to my house on Christmas, you know, to get to
give her son her gifts for my son to see her. Yo,
she posted a picture that she was in my house.
(01:16:34):
My baby mother, I mean, my girl went on her
Facebook page to see her story and she's seen that
she was in my house. And ever since that day,
everything got worse because she's like, oh, she's allowed to
come to your house.
Speaker 6 (01:16:44):
But I'm like, yo, I have a son who lives here,
and that's also the mother of my children and my
ex wife, and you know, not for nothing. No, we're
not attracted to each other anymore, but we're gonna always
be in each other's lives no matter what.
Speaker 8 (01:16:57):
Because yeah, if my son wants mother to come over
and cook her dinner, like, she ain't come cooking over
for me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (01:17:06):
Like, oh, oh, oh, I ain't know it was the dinner.
Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Did your girl live with you at that time.
Speaker 9 (01:17:13):
I'm I'm out, okay, but did your girl live there? Though?
Speaker 8 (01:17:20):
My girl don't live there? No, she got her own friend.
Speaker 9 (01:17:22):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
I was going to say no, I would feel a
little disrespected because she ain't got to be in here
cooking for us.
Speaker 9 (01:17:27):
Why son can't go at her house and she cooked
for him at her house.
Speaker 8 (01:17:30):
But that's like you, you know what I mean, living
with I totally do get something. You're going over there
and trying to cook.
Speaker 9 (01:17:41):
I'm still waiting on room to get a house, so
we can't even compare that. Listen, now, you how old
are you?
Speaker 6 (01:17:46):
If you don't mind me asking, I'm forty, okay. How
old is your girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
She's thirty?
Speaker 9 (01:17:52):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:17:53):
Look so no, this is not me saying that she's
too young for you know, but she's still you know,
you live in a different you're living in a different decade,
and I know that may not I don't think that madness,
but it does.
Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
So everything that you went through in your thirties, she's
just now about to embrace that, you know what I mean,
Like all her insecurities are not gone yet. You know,
she's fresh out of her twenties, so she thirty, So
she's still on that type of time where there are insecurities.
You were married before her, but you were married not
for one or two years. You got a lot of
history with the mother of your three children, you know
(01:18:27):
what I mean. So, yeah, she is intimidated by your
ex wife.
Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Absolutely.
Speaker 9 (01:18:31):
We can't even deny that. She can't deny it, She
won't admit it, but she she is.
Speaker 8 (01:18:36):
What would you say, as the man, what would you
say I need to do and not just say, oh,
I need to reassure her you don't want to be
I did that, Like, yeah, what or what do I
need to do? Really sit down and seek, Like, yo,
if you can't get faster, we're gonna have to you
know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:18:50):

He has been stalking me because of where he knows
where I'm currently at with the children. Basically, I need
to figure out how do I separate myself from this
(01:22:33):
terrible situation.
Speaker 6 (01:22:35):
Restraining order well, you know, damn well you if you're
being stalked and you're trying to figure out how to
get somebody from off your tail. And you know what

to the chorts. If he noncissistic, he won't leave you alone.
Speaker 9 (01:22:51):
And you know nobody can have you with me, Like
is he that type of person? Yeah, basically, And that's like,
you know.
Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
It's not like when he has me, he's treating me good.
If he's a good man him life.
Speaker 14 (01:23:05):
Is he here legally?
Speaker 7 (01:23:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Yeah, I can't give him that.
Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
What I'm saying you're thinking about you already thought about that.
Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Yeah, he got he got fired by Obama.
Speaker 10 (01:23:19):
You know, he.
Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
Go nowhere, be here, take his ass to court.
Speaker 6 (01:23:27):
Then that's it that you need to because this sounds
I mean, we we make a little jokes and laughing,
but this is very dangerous.
Speaker 9 (01:23:32):
You know, this is all well, that's.
Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
Basically what it is. Well, so basically let me say this,
even with the courts, you know what, that's what I
was thinking about as well. You know what I'm saying,
because basically, yeah, I can go to the courts, I
can get the divorce. That's too fisy, you know what
I'm saying, I already thought about that as well. All
(01:23:56):
you got to do is go down there. But once
you do that, then like he's like, how do I
open up his mind to think that life is not over?
Like we don't have to stay together forever, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:24:12):
Yeah, look, but it's the thing, he know that already.
He just wants you to think that. He wants you
to be binded to him mentally. He wants you to
feel like you can't be nowhere, you can't make it
without him, and y'all already got kids together and all.
Speaker 9 (01:24:24):
That, right, That's what I mean.
Speaker 6 (01:24:27):
Yeah, that's what a narcissism. That's what a narcissist does.
Like they make you think that you're the problem. You
need to hold on to that person. He knows, you know,
he can be you know, you know he can. You
don't have to be with you, You don't have to
be with him, but he's already conditioned you to think
that you have to, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (01:24:45):
That's how they works.
Speaker 6 (01:24:46):
So man, the court, like I said, court, keep calling
the police, have a create a trail, like, nah, you
know you have to.
Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
So let me just say I'll never I have not
ever put the police on him, you know, because for one,
I'm trying not to put him you know. Yeah, he
doesn't have the but you're absolutely right. It's in so
many cases where I should have. Yeah, but then you know,
to have that police trail. I just want you to
live your life, you know. Yeah, I still want you
(01:25:17):
to be a good daddy. I just want you to
be somewhere else to be in a good daddy, you know.
And with with messing around with me, I start calling
the people. Oh, he's don't get some real charges.
Speaker 9 (01:25:27):
M well, that seemed like what he needs, some real charges,
like no slap on the wrist, like he really need to.
He needs a wake up call.
Speaker 6 (01:25:35):
Can't be a narcissists with everybody, can't be a narcissistical police,
can't be narcissists in jail, can't be narcissists within the courts,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (01:25:43):
So I take take your safety in the safety of
your children very seriously, babe. I think you should go
ahead and figure that out.
Speaker 1 (01:25:49):

is most definitely the goal and the key you mean.
Speaker 6 (01:25:58):

just don't sound safe.

Speaker 4 (01:26:20):
Everybody is DJ Envy, just hilarious, Charlamagne God, we are
the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 16 (01:26:26):
Hey, Wara be coming a straight fast man.
Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 9 (01:26:33):
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
She'd be having the latest on you. That's the Lawns
the Latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts,
sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit
of everything. It's the leader on the Breakfast Club Talk.
Speaker 15 (01:26:49):
K Cuddy sat down with the Call Her Daddy podcast
and he's been on a promo tour because he dropped
his memoir, Cuddy the Memoir. It's out now VIAIR memoir. Sorry,
I'm not wa memoir a book about itself. Okay, he
got a book about hisself, and so he's talking about
a bunch of different things throughout his career, his time, relationships,
(01:27:10):
he was in and he gets into his time dating
and dealing with Cassie.
Speaker 9 (01:27:14):
So they talked to him about that on a car
her daddy lest take a listen.
Speaker 21 (01:27:17):
You were with her obviously during a very dark time
of what she was going through with Diddy. During that time,
your house was broken into, your car was lit on fire.
What do you just like overall remember about that time.
Speaker 22 (01:27:30):
In the moment, it was just crazy. I had a
hard time understanding if it was reality.
Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
I was like, in mind the movie, what the is
going on?
Speaker 22 (01:27:41):
It was just chaotic and intense, Like I was already
out of my mind dealing with my own personal So
I was really just like, okay, I was willing to
walk into the fire. And I just over the years,
I just thought about it as like some wow, that
happened in my rock and roll life, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (01:28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (01:28:02):
He also talked about testifying for Cassie on the Sand
and the Diddy Child. He said that they asked him
like two or three times. He didn't want to go,
but the last time he said, you know what, I'm
gonna I'm gonna show up for her.
Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
So he did.
Speaker 15 (01:28:13):
He pulled up and he hated that he had to
do it, but he felt like he had to be
there for her. And then he talked about like his
outfit choice and how he was like, I'm gonna pull
up in here real cool and just go do what
I need to do. And I will say the day
that he came to court, it was I mean, anytime
you know celebrity is coming.
Speaker 9 (01:28:29):
There were so many people there.
Speaker 15 (01:28:30):
But I do think that people were hanging on to
his every word because he was the only celebrity in
this whole situation. People were looking to see what celebrities
were involved for different reasons. He was the only celebrity
that actually got under stand outside of Cassie and talk
through things.
Speaker 9 (01:28:43):
So people were listening to him.
Speaker 15 (01:28:44):
So it was a big moment for him, and I
guess he talked about how much pressure put on him.
Speaker 21 (01:28:50):
You test to buy it in court? Yeah, how did
you feel going into that situation?
Speaker 22 (01:28:55):
I felt I was calm. I was there because I
had to be. At first they asked, said no, they
asked again, I said no. Then I guess, but I
hated every minute of it. I did not want to
do it, But then I thought about I'm here to
support Cassie. Cassie is my friend. I've always just wanted
to see her thrive and do well and be happy,
(01:29:18):
you know, because I know she was living a nightmare,
and I just was there to support her. That's what
I That's what kind of gave me peace with it
when I when I sat down in that chair.
Speaker 15 (01:29:28):
Yeah, I didn't know we had the second audio, but
thanks for that. Yeah, so you guys heard him on that.
Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
But a bunch of people got subpoena and still didn't
go to oh.
Speaker 15 (01:29:33):
One hundred percent, victim three, which we found out was Gina.
When he did, these ex girlfriends didn't show up. There
were there were people.
Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
James Cruz, his manager, did not show up as well.
I think a couple of security guards got subpoena. They
didn't go as well.
Speaker 15 (01:29:44):
I think for him it was more about being there
to support Cassie. I think he knew the impact his
testimony would because there was so much conversation around the
alleged arsen and all the things.
Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
I'm interested in reading Cuddy's book, but not because of
none of the mess I'm interested in reading it because
from what I saw, he talked about a lot of
his personal struggles yes, especially dealing with mental health and
depression and suicidal thoughts. And if you know anything about Cuddy,
his fans, like you know, like my guy Pete Davidson
has said for years that Kid Cutty's music helped him
to not kill himself.
Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
So I'm interested in reading Cuddy's book for that.
Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
And even where kit Cutty came from, like he came from,
you know, working at a store in the village and
just doing music and being heard and just his story
is an amazing story.
Speaker 15 (01:30:24):
Yeah, it's all about that being here in the blog
era in New York, and he talks about in a
really vague, like really good detail. He talks about the
Speeding Bullets a Heaven album, which is where he said
that was going to be his goodbye. That was like
almost like his suicide letter because he did not want
to be here. So, yes, the book is going to
be full of a lot of things. And he talked
about that in the interview too, So go take a
listen to.
Speaker 2 (01:30:44):
It came about this week.
Speaker 4 (01:30:44):
Yes, it's a simon and a lot of people don't know.
Jim Jones actually crossed him over to a lot of
people that had no idea who he was. When Jim
Jones did the remix The Day and Night. Oh okay,
he goes over to a lot of the hip hop
fans who did not know who Kit Cutty was at first.
Speaker 9 (01:30:57):
That's the jam.
Speaker 15 (01:30:58):
Well, in other New York news, the Broadway theater owners
are very upset still about the casino on Times Square,
and they are pissed off at jay Z, Fat Joe
and Charlemagne the gods.
Speaker 9 (01:31:12):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (01:31:14):
So basically yesterday sixteen theaters on Broadway lit up their
marquee and they had digital billboards that read no Time
Square casino.
Speaker 9 (01:31:22):
Now.
Speaker 15 (01:31:22):
This message was displayed right before and during the first
State hearing on the gambling facility that is going to
be coming potentially to Times Square. Now, the reason why
they're mad at Fat Joe and Charlemagne the God sitting
right here is because you were there to testify on
the behalf of the casino.
Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
It's not testifying testify.
Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
There was one hundred and fifty people there, and you
had people there that were in support of the casino,
a lot of people who were there and supported the casino,
like myself, and then you had people who opposed it,
which is life right, Like that's the way life is.
Speaker 9 (01:31:54):
Anybody want to agree with you testifying?
Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
I did not testify. I wanted to the microphone like
everybody else walked up to the microphone. Y yeah, I
said a lot of things. I said.
Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
I believe in the casino. I'm believe in what Rock
Nation and Caesars Palace are doing. And one thing I
didn't say yesterday, and we say it here on the
Breakfast Club all the time, was for all the money
we're paying taxes and tolls here in New York City, New.
Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
York should look like Dubai like it. It should.
Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
It should at the at least look like Charlotte or Dallas,
like downtown Chicago was beautiful. My point is the city
needs an upgrade, and I think you know, Sesars Palace
provides that. And I go to a lot of Broadway.
I go to a lot of Broadway. Broadway is not sexy.
Sesars Palace could bring a lot of sexy. The Times quid,
how long did you drive the mic for what we're
talking about?
Speaker 9 (01:32:35):
How long did you say you walked up talking a long?
Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
Nobody was talking along literally literally people would walk up
and speak for like thirty forty five seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
That's about it.
Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
And I just talked about how you know, I feel
like it's gonna bring more customers for surrounding businesses. It's
gonna increase tourism. You know, Rock Nation is gonna make
a real investment into the long term health of the city.
I'm gonna bring that's gonna bring thousands.
Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
And I heard this.
Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
I heard people saying this yesterday, Like you know, they
had construction workers going up there, saying I was gonna
bring thousands of construction jobs, you know, thousands of permanent
jobs because they got to hire like three thousand and
four thousand people. Yes, I just to understand why people
are against this. And if you are against all of
the billions of dollars you know this will bring to
the city and communities, what are you going to do?
Speaker 16 (01:33:14):
How will the hurt?
Speaker 9 (01:33:16):
Like, how will it hurt?
Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
The people say things like more traffic if they things
like more congestion, more crime, But no, I think it's
going to actually increase security in that area if you
ask me personally.
Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
But what do I know, Well, it's definitely going to
bring traffic, But I mean already traffic is already do
congestion prices and everything, Like you said, it's already traffic there.
Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
They will just have to detour things.
Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
And it'll create more opportunities for parking garages and things
like that because people are gonna have to come down
hand park.
Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
Yes, bring them to come down here in the state.
It brings more people for the businesses that are down there.
Speaker 9 (01:33:47):
Yeah, okay, I just want to parking garages and stuff like.
They'll be use what's already there though, right, and they'll
get it more.
Speaker 3 (01:33:58):
The crazy thing is in that article from the New
York Post, whoever was talking about me and fat Joe
callers broad faces.
Speaker 15 (01:34:05):
Oh they also at one point rappers, but I don't
know if they were referring to you in fact, Joe.
They're talking about with jay Z in fact Joe, but
you know sometimes he's out.
Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
If you read the article, they referred to me as
a radio personality. They do old face a rapper. It
bald faced me. You don't have no hair on your face,
Fat Joey ones the times your hair?
Speaker 9 (01:34:24):
How you mean he dies it like he got no.
Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
Not It's still not bald. It was just silly, stupid.
It's funny though, and use it all right.
Speaker 9 (01:34:39):

front of the behinders.
