Speaker 8 (05:15):
Good morning, Envy, Josh Chela? Mate, how y'all doing this morning?
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
All right?
Speaker 9 (05:20):
So we start this morning in Washington, where investigators are
still working through that ambush that killed one National Guard
member and left another in critical condition just blocks away
from the White House. Now, officials say twenty year old
specialist Sarah Beckstrom was killed and twenty four year old
staff sergeant Andrew Wolf remains in critical condition after both
were shot in broad daylight while walking there patrol route
(05:43):
last week. Now, authorities say the gunman and Afghan refugee
opened fire with a revolver before another Guard member returned
fire and detained him. He is now under guard at
the hospital and prosecutors are pursuing a first degree murder charge.
Speaker 10 (05:58):
Now.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
In the wake of the shooting, and Trump has paused
all asylum decisions from so called third world countries and
ordered US embassies to stop issuing visas to Afghan nationals.
Why the administration reviews its vetting system the White House
is placing blame on the prior administration, even though immigration
records showed the suspect's asylum was approved this April under
(06:20):
the Trump administration's own process. A national security official say
the suspect previously served on a CIA trained strike force
in Afghanistan, meeting he would have had to gone through
US security vetting years before ever coming to the United States.
Now Homeland Security Secretary Christi noms She was asked about
those conflicting details, including the vetting and the asylum approval,
(06:41):
during an appearance yesterday on Meet the Press.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Let's listen to that exchange.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
But I just want to be.
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Very clear about this, because his asylum was approved in
April of this year on the Trump administration's watch. Yeah,
the vetting process all happened under Joe Biden's ADMINISTERTA was
when he was granted asylum. Are you saying he wasn't
vetted with vetting? Is vetting is happening when they come
into the country, and that was completely abandoned under Joe
(07:09):
Biden's administration. And that's why I'm so grateful we have
a president now that isn't going to allow it to happen.
That he now has put in place measures under his
watch at the Department of Homeland Security, that we are
bringing in new information on vetting, new information to use,
such as what do they do on Facebook, what do
they do on TikTok and other social media platforms.
Speaker 9 (07:33):
Well, the President is now requesting an additional five hundred
National Guard troops to be sent to Washington, and so far,
officials say they still.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Do not have a motive for that shooting that took place.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I hate our things move so fast in this country.
Like you hear about two National Guard members getting killed
before you can digest that Trump is permanently pausing my migration,
you know not, they're politicizing the situation already, like I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We don't even, like you said, we don't even know
what the motive was yet exactly.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
So they're still investigating that.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
We're gonna talk more to your point, Charlomagne, how fast
the news cycle moves about Venezuela in the next hour,
And we'll save that. But coming up at seven, a

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Talk to me hello, good morning. All right, y'all.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
So the holiday weekend was pretty festive for some So
we're gonna start with ray Ja and Princess Love. So
over the holiday we're going on thanksgiven morning. Actually, ray
J was he was arrested and he was charged with
making a criminal threat. His bell was set to fifty
thousand dollars, which he later posted, and everything was on
(16:41):
live stream. So let's take a listen to Ray J
and Princess Love get into it on Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What you're trying to do? Take my kids? Okay, take
your kids? Watch out a cry.
Speaker 18 (16:51):
Take my kids because y'all drunk drive drunk princess drive,
drunk drive, drunk drive.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Drunk princess and your drunk your drunk cousin because y'all drunk.
Speaker 19 (17:02):
Is in your alcoholics.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Take my kids in. Go ahead, who's gonna drive? Tony
he's been drinking to who's been driving? Everybody? Everybody? Nothing
of point, nothing, whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I want a good thing?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Why did you wake my daughter up? You're a woman abused,
a woman that's drunk. Honestly, you know you're not taking
my son to you stop, to you to stop stop.
I'm trying to help you out. So what you hear
(17:38):
is a lot of it that is not okay. Okay,
that's not okay. But the dumb boy because curse.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Well, but basically what happened.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
And so I talked to ray J trying to kind
of understand where all of this came from, because Princess
Love later went and explained her side of it, and
will listen to her as well, and she because we
were all trying to figure out why they were together
on Thanksgiving, being as though they're separate and a co parent, like,
what made them choose to be together because we know
that sometimes yeah, but they haven't had the best cordial relationship,
(18:09):
So I just naturally would have assumed that they would
have done things, given it two different places and figured
that out.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Prince explained was.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
What I'm saying is we're gonna get to that.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
But backtracking it, I asked ray J what was happening
prior to this live stream and why did you go
on live stream to do all of this? And he
says that they got into a downstairs Yes, I spoke
to ray Ja.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
He says that they were prepping the food, you know, holidays.
They're right drinking, prepping food, and they got into a
conversation about a woman that he's dealing with, Sheila, the
woman that was up here with him, and he says
that went left, and when that one left, things kind
of got under control.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
He says.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
He claims he went on live stream because he wanted
to have an account of things from his point of
view because everyone else was recording in the house, so
then we see or we hear all of the chaos breakout.
He says that the police were called, and you hear
the police actually coming to the house later on in
the live stream, and ray j a legends there were
like fourteen police officers that showed up. The kids are screaming, crying,
(19:07):
everything's happening, and then he's taken away. Now, he also
is saying to me that he did not pull the
gun on Princess Love. In the live stream, you do
see him with a gun when he says that someone
is coming up to grab his kids. He says that
it was because of her cousin's husband, the guy that
you hear tackle ray J. But he says that he
(19:29):
would never have pulled a gun on his kid in
his kid's mom. Now, Princess Love did go online and
speak from her point of view and clear things on her,
and I did reach out to her by having her back.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Anything additional Dinnis video, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 20 (19:42):
I just want to say I've been doing a really
great job at protecting my peace. I love my kids,
and I would never do anything to put them in danger,
including leaving them with the man who's waving a gun around.
I'm the best mother, and I do it alone while
you're out here running around the world women and abusing women.
What I'm not about to do is let you deflect
(20:04):
and not take accountability for your actions for pulling a
gun out on me and my cousin's husband. Because I
was trying to take my kids and leave your house.
I agreed to come over there and cook for Thanksgiving
because I wanted you to be around your kids with
me present, because the last time I left them with you,
they found you naked in the bed with a woman,
and when I tried to ask you about it, you
(20:25):
told me to find myself and that I don't run
over there.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Take accountability.
Speaker 17 (20:30):
Ray do better check yourself into rehab because you're more
than drunk. Everything I do I do for my kids,
including being around you when I don't want you or
have to. I'm going to continue to pray for you
and pray that you get the help.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That you need.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
So the woman that she's mentioning, ray J told me
is with Sheila as well, and he said that the
way that the incident happened. It wasn't like he was
just like aimlessly walking around with this woman in front
of his kids. The house is separate where they were upstairs,
there's nanny's and he's back and forth, and then he
was there with her, but it didn't happen. He's a
legend it didn't happen the way that she's saying it.
(21:04):
But he's also a legend that he didn't pull the
gun on her. And at this point too, I've asked him, like,
have you been able to talk to your kids? Because
they're screaming at the top of their lungs at the
end of that first recording, have you been able to
talk to them to just make sure they're okay. He
says he hasn't talked to his kids, and he probably
won't until after everything ends, and he's talking about he
goes back to court on December nineteenth for this incident.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
So yeah, that's where they've left off at this.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I wonder how much law enforcement uses social media content
for situations like this.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I'm sure a lot a lot.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Probably, Yeah, they use it a lot in other situations,
so I don't know why they wouldn't in this one.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I wouldn't. Well it's not my business, but I wonder
why Ray would have Sheila around his kids if he
had his kids, you know, I mean unless that was
his girl and they would you know, thinking about moving on,
Like would you have your kids around somebody you just
knocking off? Like is that kind of weird?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Not really, but that's the I mean, yeah, it's weird
to answer your question, but I mean that's his girlfriend, right,
I mean, he was just up here, he told you
that was his girl, right, Yeah, But because I know
everything is like for the antics and like the show TV.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, but you know, you just never know what is
you know.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Just I don't believe anything I see online when it
comes from that way.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I believe what I saw just now, and I don't
like none of it.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah, not that I'm talking about, like with his relationship
with the girls, like the press run that they're doing.
I mean, he got a show on Zoos that he's
trying to promote as well. So I mean, I don't
know if I believe that relationship. But if he was
to have his kids around her, I mean, it would
be because that's his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I guess. I just wonder what makes people say I'm
gonna go live with this.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Well, he was like, I asked him that, and I said,
I told him, I'm like, you know how stupid that
was to see.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You on Live with a gun in your hand. But
he literally said to Cam Newton. Did he say to Cam?
Was some one of those interviews that he did where
He's like, Yo, as long as.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I'm going down on a decline, whatever is negative itself?
Like nobody sees the good I do because I have
to pay for people to post that. I don't got
to pay for blugs. The post was anything negative about me.
So I crashed out literally willing because you see for life.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
He is being He had to go over to Kick
once he got released, and we have that audio, but
he said he went live to protect himself. Let's take
a listen to him after he was released on Kick.
Speaker 18 (23:15):
I just got out of jail. It's not cool. Jail
was not okay. Bro, just arguing with this here off
in jail. That's crazy. Yeah, Bro, almost beating full time
because I'm like, BO, I'm trying to survive in there,
bro uf in there, bro under his bed. Bro, it
was crazy almost beat that under his bed. Bro talking
(23:36):
about ray J ray J.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It was a lot. Never go to jail, y'all. It
was really bad. Nah.
Speaker 18 (23:41):
We banned from Twitch permanently forever. We'll never be able
to go back on Twitch. Well, we just transferred over.
They banned me permanently because I was defending my kids.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
But I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 18 (23:54):
I don't work for lady. I don't work for nobody
we've worked with.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So he didn't show gun because I didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, you don't see him pull it or point it
at Princess Love in the videos I saw and the
gun d but you hear.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Him threatened and shoot the shot of somebody. That's the
guy that yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, see That's why I don't see how it going
live protects him in this situation. Because if somebody accuses
you of pointing a gun at them, and then you
in the video with a gun, you know, people are
just gonna start piecing all types of things together, right,
you know, I don't see how that helped him.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
In this situation.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Yeah, he's claiming it's because they were the guy was trespassing,
because he shouldn't have been upstairs.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
In his heart understood that when I saw the random
guy come in. I understood that because I didn't know
who that dude was. But once again, we don't know
the context. We just know he went live in that moment.
We don't know everything that happened around that situation.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
The guy was her cousin's husband.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Right, Yeah, And and he says that he came upstairs
because Princess left told him to come and help her
get the kids. But he ray J said, basically that
crossed the line.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Princess.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Of course you're gonna come get the kids. Do what
you're gonna do. I ain't gonna argue with you. He
said he would never put it. He wasn't gonna put
his hands on or anything like that either. But the husband,
he said that and tried to get his kids out
of his bed.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
They did get the kids out of the bed, they
were sleeping.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
So yeah, there's gonna be more because he will go
be in court in a few weeks. So we'll keep
you guys updated.

I'm sorry, just trying to move fast.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I'm sorry, stuff me all right, y'all.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
Well to new fallout this morning over those US military
strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean. Those
strikes have now killed over eighty people. According to a
Washington Post report, Defense Secretary Pete Hetseath he allegedly told
troops who quote kill everybody during an operation in early September,
and sources familiar with the mission say a second strike
(26:38):
was later carried out that killed the survivors of that
first hit, and the Pentagon has it confirmed those allegations,
but the allegations alone they have triggered bipartisan oversight on
Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are now looking into whether the
missions broke US or international law. At the administration, they
they maintained that the people killed were quote narco terrorists
(26:59):
tied to foreign terrorist organizations, and that the strikes are
legal because drug cartels have been labeled as terrorists groups
under the Trump administration.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Meanwhile, heg Seth, he's pushing back.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
He's calling the report fake news and insisting the strikes
were aimed at stopping drug smuggling boats. And President Trump,
he's defending him to a group of reporters this weekend
on Air Force One.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Let's listen to that exchange.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
We didn't even know what people were talking about. So
we'll look at we'll look into it. But no, I
wouldn't have wanted that not a second strike.
Speaker 14 (27:32):
The first strike was very lethal, it was fine, and
if there were two people around, but Peach said.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I have great confidence. I don't know. I've better find
out about it.
Speaker 12 (27:44):
But Peach said he did not order the death of
those two mens.
Speaker 15 (27:48):
Any concerns about how those boat strikes have been carried down.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
At all, very little because you could see the boats,
you can see the drug said the boats.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
So the President doesn't need to be brief beforehand.
Speaker 19 (27:59):
Exactly, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
About second scrass when I'm trying to figure out it.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Well, the President also says that he's going to pardon
the former president of Hondors, who was serving forty five
years for helping cartels move cocaine into the US. And
Trump said that the president the former president of Hondors,
he was treated unfairly. But some lawmakers, they are noting
the contrast that the administration is striking alleged narco terrorists
on boats while pardoning a leader convicted of drug trafficking,
(28:27):
and meanwhile, the president is ordering the airspace over Venezuela
close as the US increases its military presence there.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
So We'll continue to watch what's happening.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Talk about a lack of consistency, Jesus Christ, for sure,
A lot of people are pointing that out.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
And now to a story in northern California where investigators
are searching for whoever opened fire at a child's birthday
party in Stockton, a mass shooting that left four people dead,
including three children, and eleven others injured. Officialll say more
than one hundred pe people were inside a banquet hall
on Saturday evening when the shootings started indoors and spilled outside.
(29:05):
The victims were just eight, nine, and fourteen years old,
along with a twenty one year old adult. Officials believe
this was a targeted attack and are asking the community
for surveillance, video, tips, even rumors that could possibly help
identify the shooters. On Sunday, families returned to the scene
to collect their children's birthday gifts and belongings. City and
(29:25):
county leaders they are calling on the shooters to come forward,
their urging neighbors to come forward with any information. I've
been in touch with Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee, who
grew up in the area and has been with families
on the ground. He spoke at a prayer visual yesterday,
urging families to stay calm and to not retaliate as
families begin to process their trauma.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Let's listen to some of that.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
But what I will say to the people that did
this is, it's never been gangster to kill kids.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Never, It's never been gangst.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
To to kill kids.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
You went a in a birthday party and shot people's children.
Parents brought their children out, and they left.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
With medical examiners. That is not human. That is not human.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
And I will say to those who are thinking of retaliation,
when my brother got murdered, I thought about it too.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's human to want to hurt people who hurt people
you love.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
But I had a choice to make, and I hope
that the people out there in our community to make
the right.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Choice and contact law enforcement.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Called me and called the Mari, Call whoever you know,
called the pastors, Call your friend, Turn yourself in, because
at some point, the redemption for what you did is
gonna happen when you see the person that created you.
But you can start that process by turning yourself into
doing the right thing today.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Hey, Jason is right, But whatever happens to those people
happens to them, man, ef you know, like that's I
feel like you gotta find them type of folks and
bury them under the jail or are or whatever happens
in the process of you know, them getting caught.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It just, you know, whatever happens to them happen.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I can can't let you pull them to a birthday
party and shoot off all those shots and kill kids.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Can you imagine? It's no, I can't imagine. That's just
Oh my god, And I don't want to imagine.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
God, bless those families man, that got to deal with
that during the holiday season.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Oh my god, right before Christmas. Man, very very sad.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
The city says counselors will be available at school this week,
especially since one of the youngest victims she was a
student in the district and her parents worked for the
school system.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
The district attorney is.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Urging the shooter or the shooters to turn themselves in,
and Stockton is now offering a twenty five thousand reward
for information leading to the arrest.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
How old are these kids maybe?
Speaker 19 (31:33):
Did they say they were eight?
Speaker 21 (31:34):
Now?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Oh yeah, Jesus yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
The oldest one was twenty one as an adult. But
there are still eleven others injured, so we'll continue to
watch and see, you know, what their progress is. We
don't know this morning, but there's been three hundred and
eighty mass shootings in the US so far this year,
and that a mass shooting is where four more.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
People have been shot. So it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 16 (31:59):
So thank you.
Speaker 8 (32:01):

All right, may now, when we come back, we have
James JJ eighty eight, Jacobs, Kntessa Giles, and Richie Riseda.
When we come back, they have a new documentary is
called Songs from the Whole Now. It's a documentary that
details James's life. He was convicted of murder as a teenager.
When he got to jail a day later, he found
out that his brother had died and my brother got killed.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, a lot of people have been watching it on
Netflix though they can't wait to talk about it with them.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yes, we're gonna talk to him next about it. It's
the Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody is dj n
V just HILARI is Chlamage God. We are the Breakfast
Club Long the Roses. Here today we got some special
guest in the building from the documentary on Netflix, Songs
from the Whole. We have James Jacobs JJ eighty eight.
We have Contessa, Gails and Richie Riscilla. Welcome you guys.
(32:57):
Feeling just on Netflix right now, by the way, yes, yeah, Feeling. Now.
For people that haven't seen the documentary, break down what
the documentary is about.
Speaker 22 (33:07):
Well, it's a documentary visual album. We tell the story
of my life. When I was fifteen, I was incarcerated
for a second degree murder and during that time I
spent eighteen years in prison, and during that time I
wrote an album. I met him, we produced and recorded
that album in prison, and I wrote the visuals.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
We met Contesta and Let's be Good film essentially.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Also, I want to ask you something media. You know,
at fifteen you committed a crime. It was a murder,
and then three days later your brother was killed. But
how did those two events so close together, I guess,
shape your sense of identity and ultimately give you purpose.
Speaker 22 (33:46):
I guess, oh yeah, Well, at first it took me
down like a really dark like mental place and after
coming through like you know, suicidal ideations, and just at
first I just felt like, at first I just felt.
Speaker 12 (34:04):
Kind of purposeless.
Speaker 22 (34:06):
I took a life, which at fifteen it's kind of
hard to hold and really recognize the gravity of it.
But by the time I was eighteen and in prison,
I just kind of felt worthless and without hope. And
losing my brother within that span was kind of like
he was kind of who I was emulating and admiring
(34:28):
growing up.
Speaker 12 (34:29):
So it really devastated me.
Speaker 22 (34:31):
And however, like through music is like it kind of
gave me a place to talk about it and talk
about what me and the homies was just experiencing what
me and my family went through. And so through I
guess through music is where I kind of found purpose
in my story and where I could use it.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I want to talk about when you was fifteen, man,
because you said something that I often feel like with
these kids, and all all of us were kids at
once some point, you make a terrible choice, a temporary
decision at least, I mean, if temporary feeling leads to
a permanent decision, you know, do you really understand the
consequences of your actions at that time.
Speaker 22 (35:11):
I mean not in the way that I do now
when you fifteen, you know, I mean, I think when
I was a kid, I knew if you shoot someone,
they could die. Like I know that I've seen people die.
I've seen violence in my community, but I don't think
I knew what it meant for real, like the finality
(35:33):
of it at fifteen. I don't think I knew truly
at fifteen the impact it was having not only on
this person but their family. When there's people that I've
like got back in touch with since I got home,
who were you know, there that night and had to
witness that and that night altered their life. And I
(35:56):
didn't learn that until I was in my thirties. So
you don't at fifteen, you don't understand the gravity of it,
but you do understand that it is serious. And the
older I got, the more mature I became, the more
I understood how serious it is, which is why we
made this film for real.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
No, you were charged as an adult, not a child.
Why was that?
Speaker 12 (36:17):
Because California is racist?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
To put it simple, Yes, fifteen serving eighteen years. It
just seems like in any other state you would have
been charged as a child. Giving a second chance, another
opportunity on Nah.
Speaker 22 (36:32):
They doing it in other states too, They charged they
charged kids as adults because they want to take away
futures and they have a belief in this like punishment system.
We live in a culture where revenge is normal. We
value it as a culture. Revenge is something that we explore.
(36:56):
Me being a perpetrator of murder and having my brother murdered,
it's something that I had to face for myself, you know.
So the reason why they charge us as adults when
we're kids is because they believe in revenge.
Speaker 12 (37:08):
They believe in retribution. They believe in eye for an eye.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
At fifteen years old, when you were sending it in
front of the judge, not really understanding what's happening in
your sentence in the doc, you talk about looking over
to your atturney and being like someone, am I going home?
Speaker 12 (37:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Right?
Speaker 7 (37:23):
What at that moment as a kid, what did you
need outside of just being locked away behind bars? Like
what could they have given you that would have actually,
like in that moment, helped you reform?
Speaker 22 (37:35):
Do you mean, like after I I've committed murder, Like
what to offer a kid?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Like what should be the you know, the rehabilitation of
a person that is fifteen years old, that murders a person.
Speaker 22 (37:46):
I don't know what it should be. I can tell
you what I did. What helped me was like just
having safe places to talk about it. So I didn't
to talk about what I had done. I don't think
I needed to necessarily be locked away. Once I committed murder,
I knew it was foul. I felt the seriousness of it.
(38:09):
It wasn't like I was. I wasn't celebrated by my homies,
So I knew that this was not the move to make.
But I needed to understand why, and I didn't get
that opportunity in court. They don't give you an opportunity
to understand why you are in this moment, how serious
it is that you have taken a life and there's
(38:32):
no plan to help you mature through it and process it.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
You know, you said you weren't celebrated.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
You also talk a lot about how you thought, like,
you know, this is kind of like a song, like
we talked about it in the song song is Over.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, So you.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Had an idea of what you thought committing a crime
would be like, and then you actually found yourself committing.
Speaker 22 (38:51):
Yeah, I mean that's true. For a lot of my homies.
We listen to music and this is no, this is
no like condemnation on like hip hop, in the music
we grow up on.
Speaker 12 (39:02):
I think it's just true.
Speaker 22 (39:04):
That when I listened to music as a kid, when
I watched films as a kid, and I saw violence,
it didn't seem you know, the film cuts off and
then I see on the red carpet. Excuse me, I
see you on the red carpet, like it's regular. You
don't really understand that that person in that story didn't come.
Speaker 12 (39:23):
Back in real life.
Speaker 22 (39:25):
And so as a kid, I thought, you know, in
two thousand and three, two thousand and four, I was
listening to Get Rich of I Trian and like that
was the epitome of being against.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
And so.
Speaker 22 (39:40):
Once I realized after you know, as a kid, it's
not it ain't you know, just a song. It like
when you go back to your homies, they gonna look
at you and they gonna be scaredy, they gonna look
at you and they gonna have real fear, Like what
did you just do?
Speaker 12 (39:54):
The homies ask me what you just do? Fool? What
did you do?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Like?
Speaker 12 (39:59):
Why did you do? That the homie.
Speaker 22 (40:01):
Everybody I know who had a murder in prison, like
they none of them got dapped up when a helmies
found out.
Speaker 12 (40:08):
Everybody got what.
Speaker 22 (40:11):
They might talk about it and even like they tell
they tell war stories, sure, but it's like not not
after it happened. I don't know nobody who got dapped
up directly after like we did that.
Speaker 12 (40:23):
Let's go.
Speaker 22 (40:24):
This is in that car, quiet smoking, drinking.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
Them It's seriously quiet.
Speaker 22 (40:33):
It ain't no game like that's That's what I came
to realize that, you know, you you take a life.
It ain't it ain't it ain't fun. It's not it's
not honorable to me, especially in the context of just
regular streeting.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Like contestant and Richie. How y'all can make with James
to help them tell the story.
Speaker 23 (40:54):
So what what ady E didn't share was that he
wrote the music that's in the film and solitary confinement.
After he got out of solitary, he transferred to the
prison where Richie was at and that's how they met.
He could talk about how they collaborated more on the music.
But I met the both of them when I was
filming a documentary for CNN. I used to work at CNN,
(41:16):
and the last project I did for them was a
feature called the Feminists on Cell Black Wie, and it
was about a group that Richie had co founded in
prison and was leading for his fellow incarcerated men with
their reading feminist literature like Belle Hooks and you know,
learning about patriarchy and how it shows up in their
lives and unlearning it. So Richie was leading that group
(41:38):
and eighty eight was a participant and a co facilitator
of that group. And that was the first time that
I heard a little bit of eighty eight story. And
it was the last day of filming that documentary had
nothing to do with the group, but the two of
them were in the prison gym and it was Richie's
last day at the prison. He was about to be
transferred to finish his sentence somewhere else. And they had
(42:00):
the prison rental keyboard, and Richie had the keyboard on
a trash can, and eighty eight was singing and rapping
some of those songs that he wrote in solitary, and
there was a group of the guys gathered around and
like they knew all the lyrics, so you could tell
like this is you know something that they've been sharing,
and I was just struck by like how powerful the
music was, how much storytelling there was in eighty eight's lyrics,
(42:23):
But I didn't know the context of you know, his
story and the relationship between that and the music and
how he came to the whole and writing that music
in the hole. Fast forward a year after that film
came out, they both approached me about, you know, would
you want to work on a visual album using eighty
eight's music. You know you heard some of it. I
was like, some me what you got, and I once
(42:48):
I would like listen to the recordings and really like,
over the course of our development, got to know more
about how eighty eight came to the Whole and then
writing the music there, and then what they were able
to do inside producing a whole album. I knew that
we had something really special that could really be a testimony,
Like eighty eight story is a testimony, and the music
(43:09):
is so impactful in being able to like hold the
narrative and tell his story. So we started collaborating from
there and really like evolved our relationship from this like
kind of more traditional space of like journalistic I was
the filmmaker. They were the film participants to like co
collaborators on this project, and it was a true collaboration,
like eighty eight was inside the whole time. We were
(43:31):
eight months into the edit when he was released, and
we managed to figure out how to collaborate across the
prison walls through phone calls, through letters, you know, fifteen
minute phone calls at a time.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
That's how we met. I got a two paul question
for you, eighty eight. We're gonna ask Richie how mat
because I know you asked both from Bode.
Speaker 23 (43:49):
Yeah, Richie could fell it.
Speaker 24 (43:50):
Though I had met eighty eight while I was in prison.
I had just released an album from prison, so everybody
at the prison kind of knew me as a producer.
Eight got to the yard. The people who knew him
from other prisons were like, you.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Got to meet eighty eight. You got to meet eighty eight.
Speaker 24 (44:05):
And you know, I wasn't a lot of everybody in
prison think they can rap, just like everybody on the streets.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
You know what I'm saying. I wasn't like in.
Speaker 24 (44:16):
A rush to meet him necessarily. I was like, okay,
But when I did meet him. We have a homie
named Talib who was trying to put together a poetry book.
So he was bringing all these artists together. And we
had met in the in the law library and I
heard him rap and sing, and I was blown away. Honestly,
(44:38):
he could both rap and sing very well, which a
lot of people can't do. Usually they do one well
and then the other they kind of do for fun.
And the story he was telling and the position he
had on it, it's not an easy thing to make
music that doesn't necessarily glorify or judge the streets. And
(44:59):
I was like, yo, let's let's let's make this album.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
YEA had only equipment in jail. You were able to
have the equipment in jail.
Speaker 24 (45:05):
No, we broke the rules. The way that we made
the album was against the rules. Well, y'all out now,
but I can't tell you because it's people in who
still make music that way. But yeah, the way we
made this album in prison was completely against the rules.
The prison was against it in every way. They ran
up in myself. They threatened to send me to the
(45:26):
whole for making music, and.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
That it was.
Speaker 12 (45:29):
They denied me at board for making music.
Speaker 22 (45:31):
Really, I was able to be a part of a
collaboration that Richie was EPN and it featured incarcerated artists
and free artists, And when I got to board, they
named that It's like a reason why I was in
danger to society is that you make music.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Wow.
Speaker 24 (45:50):
Yeah, it's important to point out he had life. He
wasn't sentenced to eighteen years. He was sentenced to forty
years to double life. So you know, we didn't know
when eighty.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Was coming home.
Speaker 24 (46:00):
We knew spiritually he was coming home, but we didn't
know when he was coming home. So when we finished
the album, we were like, you know, typically you finish,
you do an album, then you tore it, and we
didn't have that opportunity with him. So we're like, let's
do a visual album, and that's kind of how the
idea began. Then we approached contestant. She built it out
to an actual film.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
One other question, is it true that you can't profit
off of a crime that was done? Is that true? Yeah?
Speaker 24 (46:24):
So in California, the way that the law is written
is that basically you can't take if you're incarcerated in California,
you can't talk about your crime in a way that
makes you money. So you can't write a book about
it and make money. You can't make music about it
or a film or anything and make money. All of
that typically has to go to the people who are
impacted by about the crime. And eighty eight case is
(46:47):
unique in that he didn't The album in the film
is not about the fact that he harmed somebody, but
rather that that he had committed harm and he had
been harmed, that his brother was murdered. So but we
also didn't released it until he got out.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
During your time, it's ild taking finding an idiot like
you turned music into a lifeline, right, Like, what was
the moment you realized music was an escape for you?
And I know that probably kept you singing in the whole.
Speaker 22 (47:13):
Yeah, as soon as I got in and when I
as soon as I got locked up, I.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Knew I grew up with music. I grew up in
the church.
Speaker 22 (47:20):
I grew up singing, I grew up rapping. I started
like writing in about the seventh grade. So when I
got locked up, you don't know what the hell to do.
When you're a kid just in a box kind of
you're just sitting there thinking, you're listening to different sounds,
and suddenly next to me, the sale next to me
is the hommy we call him Johnny West Jonathan Marquez.
(47:43):
He beating on the bed and he rapping, but he
rapping radio songs, some of his you know, he was
rapping some of his stuff, but mostly he was just
rapping songs that.
Speaker 12 (47:51):
We all knew.
Speaker 22 (47:53):
And so I was like, hey, yo, I yelled through
the vent, like yo, I could I could rap too,
Like when we come out, we're gonna rap. We get
to the day room, he beat on the table, and
when I perform, like these little chicken excuse my language,
these little like you know, raps I wrote in this cell.
The you know, the kids is kind of like yo,
you are and it's like changing the environment. So when
(48:15):
I when I realized, like, oh, I could impact people
around me just by you know, occupying our time. They're
not like annoyed trying to get away from me. They
like spit that song. I started to do it more,
and then I shared it with my father, who is
an elder in the church and doesn't listen to hip hop,
and he's just like, well, you know, son, music brings
(48:37):
people joy. So if you share your gift with them
and become their joy, they will protect their joy. And
so share your gift with people and you'll see that.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Is that the moment you realize that music can also
be your voice?
Speaker 21 (48:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 22 (48:53):
I mean, I've always known music was a medium to
like express myself and use my voice. It was gonna
come in some oratory fashion for me. My dad being
a pastor, my mom being a singer. I knew like
the power of my voice. I just didn't know the
significance of it. Sometimes I still don't. But I didn't
(49:14):
know that it could be meaningful to write what's happening
in my life, to be meaningful that people would actually
value it and care about it until I started to
see the impact I was having on the yard.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
Contested this footage in the dock that shows the time
when eighty and his family was still fighting for him
to get out of prison. What made you see the
value in his story before knowing he'd be freezing in.
Speaker 23 (49:39):
The value to me was the music itself. And you know,
I think we can share a little bit. I hope
folks go watch the film on Netflix. But the whole
story is leading up to the moment where eighty eight
realizes that he's incarcerated with the person who killed his brother,
knowing that and what happened after that. Maybe that's the
(50:00):
part I won't say or well, but that there was
like so much power for healing and transformation if people
heard this story to understand that, you know, what we
were talking about in terms of like our culture's obsession
and reliance on retribution and punishment and revenge, like we
can choose something else, and our interpersonal relationships and systemically,
(50:24):
So that's what drew me to it.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
But no, we had no.
Speaker 23 (50:27):
Idea that eighty eight would have the opportunities that he
had to come home. Like Richie said, he had forty
years to life plus life, and we kind of structured
the whole narrative arc of the story around spiritual freedom
and like internal healing and freedom, and that's you know,
each music video treatment kind of builds on that healing
(50:50):
the younger self. We didn't know that we would have
the ending that we would have in the film when
we started and once those opportunities started picking up, so
we're following, you know, his family going to court. What's
condensed down in the film was two and a half
years of going to court and then commutation from the governor.
(51:11):
We had to follow it in real time because it
was so it was relevant to the story. But it
really was never a film about because I think there's
a lot of films about incarceration where it's centered on
does the person get to come home? And do we
all get to celebrate at the end if they come home.
We wanted to resist that because we really wanted it
to feel like everyone watching this had an entry point
(51:33):
into their own healing. So to make it about the
spiritual journey was more satisfying for me creatively and I
think for all of us spiritually.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
But then you know, we got we got.
Speaker 22 (51:45):
The legal reason why I got home is irrelevant because
it's not legality that's gonna get us free, for the
incarcerated and for us as a people going there.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Brother, because I like who you're going with this.
Speaker 22 (52:02):
Like, so, what what I'm saying is like, we we
participate in this system, we vote, we pay our taxes,
we do the thing, and it's not working. It's not
working for nobody. So it's it's it's working for the
people who set it up.
Speaker 12 (52:18):
That's true.
Speaker 22 (52:19):
It's working for for you know some, but it's for
for us. System is working for people who was designed
to work for right for us, it's a different story,
and so it my logic tell me it ain't gonna
be that that get me free.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
No, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I've been I've been running that thought in my mind lately,
like I think that we're just past the point of
any political solutions.
Speaker 12 (52:40):
No, you know, we need freedom, freedom now.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna ask, you know, about
to say.
Speaker 24 (52:46):
I was just gonna quickly say, it's it's if you
think about it, like, it's kind of silly to even
believe that a system that was also set up by
other flawed human beings is perfect and not just by
following the rules or voting and just like following the
system that someone else set up, that that's all that's needed.
And when our problems are so great, actually, I think
(53:09):
it calls upon us to say, okay, we can look
at how this system is an improvement from you know,
the feudal system and kings and queens and surfs, and okay,
we've improved from there, and there is much more improvement
that needs to be done if we're going to live
in integrity with each other and the earth.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
I wanted to ask, you know, it's hard not to
talk about this because you really want people to see it, right,
you want people to see the ins and outs of
this documentary. But I do want to ask about forgiveness. Right.
I was talking to Lauren earlier and she was like,
certain things I just can't forgive. Right, she was like,
I can't, Like you know, my family can and I can't.
And I think Charlamage knows me. There's certain things I
(53:47):
ain't forgiven. It's like, it's just is what it is.
It's just how did you find I would say, I
don't even want to see the courage, But how did
you break down and be able to forgive somebody, especially
the person that you know with your brother? How like
when did that happen? Was it immediately? Did it take
some time? Was it talking to me your dad who
was a pastor?
Speaker 22 (54:06):
When when I met him I had to make a decision.
It is not a superpower. It is not an impossibility
to to you know, all due respect to the things
you say you can't forgive.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
It's not I'm just not there yet. I'll get there
one day. I'm just not there yet.
Speaker 22 (54:25):
But truly, it's a matter of choosing it. It's a
matter of saying to me, what I this is how
I defined forgiveness for myself in that moment. You you
kill my brother, right, how you get that back? How
he gone? Can't gone?
Speaker 2 (54:45):
What do?
Speaker 22 (54:46):
What do you owe me now? Because that's what we're
talking about in retribution and in a retaliatory like system.
It's like, now you owe me. So this man Jay
killed my brother, Now you owe me? What do you
owe me? You owe me my brother? What's the value
of my brother's life? It ain't even yours, It ain't
even your life. For real, your life is value differently
(55:09):
than my brother. So I can't just take your life.
So now I know you can't pay me back. So
what I'm gonna do be mad my whole life. I
know you can't give it back. I know you can't.
That's first for forgiveness. I know you can't pay that debt.
So forgiveness to me is releasing within myself what I
think you owe me because you hurt me. It's just
letting go this idea that you gonna somehow give it
(55:32):
back or you're gonna somehow realize that you owe it.
It has nothing to do with you. It has everything
to do with me letting go of what it is.
I think you owe me because you did me sour right? Now,
add to that, I did somebody fiule. I did a
number of somebody's file throughout my life. And I am
(55:53):
not like, that's not my legacy that I want to leave.
It's not something that I want to be like, I
want to be known for hurting people. Nobody wants to
be known for hurting people. And when you hurt someone
as seriously as I have, and you you want to
be accountable for it, then you got to look at
(56:14):
all the parts of your life.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
But you were accountable. If that individual wasn't accountable.
Speaker 22 (56:18):
No, no, no, if he wasn't accountable, it don't make
no difference.
Speaker 12 (56:22):
Are you accountable?
Speaker 2 (56:25):
Yeah? Question, don't you got to give?
Speaker 1 (56:28):
You would have to give the person who killed your
brother the same grace you would want the people the
family that you know you killed to give you.
Speaker 22 (56:37):
Right, That's true, and and I think that was clear
for me. But I do not think that that is
a requirement for forgiveness, that you have to do an
equal harm in order to forgive somebody who was harmed
to you. Because the truth is we all commit harmed
daily in some form or another. And I think when
(56:59):
for me to forgive. I knew I wanted it in
my life. I was trying to be as accountable as
I could be growing up in prison. But I knew
I wanted forgiveness more than I wanted anything, because forgiveness
symbolized being restored back to my community. It symbolized me
(57:20):
being restored back to my value that my grandmother sees
when she looked at me.
Speaker 12 (57:24):
You know.
Speaker 22 (57:26):
But I know, the more and more I become accountable,
it's not. Forgiveness isn't something I can ask for. It's
not even I just took everything, or I took a
lot from you, and now I'm gonna ask you to
give me something else, like give me grace. That's not
something I feel willing to ask for. However, what I
can do is plant the seed in the universe. I
can plant the seed in my daily walk and in
(57:47):
the way I live, and maybe.
Speaker 12 (57:49):
It'll come back.
Speaker 22 (57:51):
Maybe it'll come to somebody who needs it in my life.
But either way, a friend of mine, Chris Wachnick, you
saw say so is see from your greatest need, what
you need the most, go give it to somebody.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Songs from the whole of the documentary net On Netflix
right now. Definitely check it out and we appreciate you guys.
For James jj Adio, Jacobs can Testa Gales and Richie
Small R Receiver wan be coming a straight fast. She
gets them. Somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 4 (58:25):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
and she'd.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
Be having the latest on the law, the Latest with
Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 1 (58:33):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. It's the least on
the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (58:41):
Okay, so uh.
Speaker 7 (58:43):
The Reckoning, which is a new Diddy documentary, will stream
on Netflix on December second, and it will be brought
to us by fifty fifty is the executive producer of
the documentary, and then Alexandria Stapleton, who's an award winning director,
is also helping him bring this project to Netflix.
Speaker 4 (59:01):
Now.
Speaker 7 (59:02):
Today this morning, fifty cent will in Alexandria will be
on Good Morning America that goes live at eight a m.
And we'll actually be revisiting once they're actually live so
that we can kind of talk about what they're talking
about in some exclusive details just around the full situation
and looking at things from both sides. From Diddy's side,
but also fifty cent side. So we'll be back with
(59:22):
some more exclusives in the next hour. But the background
in the premise of this documentary is basically it's supposed
to be a conversation about how the industry puts celebrities
on the pedestal and when you do that, what this means.
Speaker 4 (59:35):
So Alexandria Stapleton says, this isn't.
Speaker 7 (59:38):
About the story of Sean Colmb's or the story of Cassie,
or the story of any of the victims, or the
allegations against him or the trial. Ultimately, this story is
a mirror reflecting us as a public and what we
are saying when we put our celebrities on such a
high pedestal. Now, I'm gonna be honest with y'all. A
lot of people thought that fifty Cent was kind of
like just trolling when he was talking about doing this documentary.
Speaker 2 (59:57):
I thought he was too.
Speaker 7 (59:59):
I didn't really, I know, because you just never know
what fifty cent, but for Netflix to be the platform
that he's doing it on, and when I saw it,
I was like, oh, wow, okay, only because Diddy has
come after other places that have done documentary, so he's
currently suing and this has been since February, for one
hundred million dollars NBC Peacock over a documentary that they
(01:00:19):
did where they his team alleges that they didn't vet
a lot of the claims in the documentary. I think
it's smart that fifty cent waited until everything happened to
do the documentary. But it is just a dicey situation
to be in.
Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Didn't do one too, did a couple of documentaries on
to me.
Speaker 7 (01:00:36):
Well see, but a lot of what normally when you
do these documentaries, the attorneys want you to reach out
and vet claims and allegations and get both sides. Diddy's
attorneys are claiming that, like with the NBC Peacock situation,
they said to them, hey, these things aren't true, and
they still added certain things in a documentary that then
certain lawsuits were dropped about and like whatever, so they
went forward with their lawsuit. So yeah, there's the way
(01:00:59):
that you can do it where you can for yourself legally.
But we'll see, they're supposed to have never before seen video.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
That's what I'm interested in.
Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Yeah, I heard him say that in the clipp he
posted last night from Robin Roberts one what has never
before seen video.
Speaker 7 (01:01:11):
So they actually begin rolling it out and we'll have
that in the next hour. One of the videos is actually,
you guys, remember Diddy was here in New York in
that hotel waiting to turn himself in, but they ended
up going and just getting them and locking them up.
There's video from that time where he's actually going back
and forth with his attorneys about this situation. Yeah, so
this one's going to be a really close look as
(01:01:32):
you know, we figure out what it was like as
Diddy was heading to jail.
Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
So we'll be back with more in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
It's a.
Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
Jail, it's a timeline, So I'm I'm assuming it's going
to start when the claims first started, because they do
mention Cassie. I do you know, I'm telling you what
the Netflix rundown says. So according to Netflix Rundown, they're
going to it's going to encompass everything. But they don't
want it just to be about Cassie, or just to
be about victims, or just to be about Diddy. So
it seems like it's going to be the timeline of
everything we've talked about up here. Things We've never seen interviews,
(01:02:02):
they say, with people that are close or work close
in Diddy's orbit. But the bigger conversation is how did
we get here? But we'll be back with the more
and I'll have some exclusive details.
Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
How do you?
Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
I wonder that's gonna be interesting because fifty cent is
a rapper, right and fifty cent is a rapper who's
I guess considered you consider him a gangster rapper?
Speaker 10 (01:02:19):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
And you know him and Eminem and doctor how do you?
How do you hold a mirror up to hip hop
without holding the mirror up to yourself as well?
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
There's a lot of people that have been asking that question.
Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
See, I want to see how they did this based
off what you just read us.
Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
I want to see, Yes, it would be pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Yeah, I want to see what it's about. Like what
the documentary is about. Is it's just the rise of
a hip hop person off it's based off of the
sexual assault.
Speaker 7 (01:02:41):
You know, seems like it's gonna touch on. But yeah, no,
not tomorrow. We'll see next hour. It goes live this today,
We'll see next hour now. In other news, taking a
completely different.
Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Servent documentary comes out today that interview drops today. But
the documentary actually, yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
Document Yeah, but you'll see some of the video, yeah,
December second, but you'll see some of the video.
Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
They gave it exclusively to GMA.
Speaker 7 (01:03:04):
I know, because I tried to get it for us,
but they said they couldn't because they had this situation
with GMA already.
Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
But yeah, so we'll see and talk about some stuff
in the next hour.
Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
Now.
Speaker 7 (01:03:13):
In other news, Candy Birds and Todd Tucker. So, I know,
you guys reported on their divorce and you know all
the things after eleven years now over there.
Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Say you know, we reported when you wrote she wrote
the start for she wrote the script for me.
Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
Made sure you stayed up to date.
Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
But over the weekend holiday weekend, Candy had posted a
photo of like their Thingsgiving dinner and Todd wasn't in
a photo. I wasn't surprised to not see him in
the photo because she said that it was it's been tough,
it's been a lot, it's been a long time coming.
But she came in the comments and said, before anybody
starts anything, he was here for Thanksgiving dinner, but he
didn't stay for the photo. His daughter is like the
(01:03:50):
daughter that he had prior to Candy is in the photo,
their children are in the photo or whatever, but people
made it a thing. Now, I spoke to somebody who
would know, who tells me that the handling this is
the best way that they can. He was always invited
to Thanksgiving dinner, was never not going to be invited,
and people want to make it very salacious and you
know whatever, because they've been together for so long.
Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
But it's not that.
Speaker 7 (01:04:11):
I also saw a photo circulating of like there's like
a baby that was supposed to have happened, and that's
why they one hundred percent not true from what I'm told.
Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
So yeah, when people explain themselves to social media, are
they doing this because they really want to clear the
air or they just doing this for their own engagement?
Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Because I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
That people sit around and be like, I'm going to
tell everybody why he didn't come to thank him and dinner.
Well he came, but she just explained herself and said,
why you don't know none of these people like what
is the point? I don't understand. I really don't understand
that that life.
Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
And I'm actually shocked that Candy did that.
Speaker 7 (01:04:45):
Well I'm not because Candy always you know, she does
her speak on it, I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Engagement because she really cares about what people think it.
Speaker 7 (01:04:55):
Maybe it's a little bit of both, but I know
in her speak on it, she always addresses what was
going on with her, even on her Amazon Live like
she was like, I'll talk about this when I'm ready,
but she gave us enough like yeah, Like she's a
person that kind of interacts with her people with.
Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
Just to see the picture that she supposed, yeah Thanksgiving
and then put in the captions all you all want
thing that he you know, I just I wish.
Speaker 7 (01:05:15):
Yeah, as soon as I saw the picture I was
looking for Todd, I was like, all right, well, first
get Thanksgiving without them, But I.
Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Do get why Todd, you know, reached out to you
whoever you reached out to the sources and said that
he didn't cheating, he doesn't have a baby anywy, because
I would want to clear that one that was.
Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
I think everybody's trying to figure out what happened. Yeah,
and wrapping up everybody trying to figure out what happened.
We still don't know that. I didn't get that answer
to that question. But from what I'm still, I.
Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Don't want nobody know nothing much your own life.
Speaker 4 (01:05:39):
You can know what.
Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
We gonna open up the phone lines next hour. We're
gonna ask about you know, when you're dating with somebody,
is it okay to pop the question?
Speaker 19 (01:05:51):
Do we go together? Do we go together? We're gonna
talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
That in a little bit. But we got donk of Today.
I'm next with wealking beoutfore after the hour. I'm spending
the block because I should have did this last week.
But I need you all, Santana to come to the
front of the congregation. We'd like to have a world
with him. You're doing it now, Yes, I am all right.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
It Thanksgiving break God.
Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
We'll get to it next. It's the breakfast club in
good morning, ain't the main say the gang? Don't get
shame Maine.
Speaker 12 (01:06:25):
You are a don't.
Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
It's time for donkey. Donkey today does not discriminated. I
might not have the song of today, but I got
the donkey day.
Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
So if you ever feel I need to be a
donk mans.
Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
A breakfast club Fitch, please don't keep today today.
Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Well at sharing Donkey of Today for Monday December first,
go to Jewel Santana. Now I know in this fast
moving medio eco ecosystem. A story that's a week old
like this one can be considered ancient.
Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Okay, but damn it.
Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
If you're still leading thanks Giving left over today, then
shut it up.
Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
All right. You're concept of old is off.
Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
But the reason I want to do this story is
because we spoke about it last week during the Latest
and I kept thinking to myself, why didn't I give
Jewel Santanna Donkey of the Day for this. I was
thinking about that over the holiday break, and it could
be such a teachable moment. Okay, so let's spin the block,
all right. Jules was on the No Funny Podcast with
Kenny k P Supreme and DP saluted those brothers, and
(01:07:21):
Joel said that financial literacy holds more importance than reading.
Let's go to the No Funny Podcast to hear what
Juel's had to say.
Speaker 25 (01:07:29):
We gotta start teaching our kids, so just financial wealth
and literacy and all that that early, because by the
time they get the ninth grade, they should be just
learning how to start businesses and read how to but
they don't really need to learn know how to read.
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
I say that respectfully.
Speaker 25 (01:07:45):
I'm not saying that in a way to be literally
because you're not supposed to be literate, but you can.
Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Mask.
Speaker 25 (01:07:53):
You can still obtain the information, and you don't have
to know how to read. I believe common sense is
better than everything. I'm gonna come a sense. I'd rather
have zero book slats and common sense. Be able to
read the room, be able to read life, be able
to read people. I try to understand people understanding I'm saying, like, nowaday,
you can listen to a book contract else you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
They got big got apps you could put it in
and to read it to you, right. Crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Now, I admit I don't speak nigga like I used to,
but I still speaking very fluently, okay, And I understand
a lot of what Joel Santana's attempting to say. And
I want to tell you why I don't agree. First
of all, there shouldn't be an either or to this discussion. Right,
you should be able to read, and you should learn
financial literacy. And you know, if you're going to learn
(01:08:42):
financial literacy, you need to know how to read. Okay,
you need to know how to read to really become
financially literate. If you rely on the apps and audiobooks,
then you're always going to be dependent on someone else's translation.
But if you know how to read, then you have
direct access to the information yourself, and then you can
read it.
Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (01:09:01):
And what you can't comprehend, what you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Understand, then you can ask questions. That is the beauty
of reading. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
But you can't do any of that, all right. You
can't comprehend or understand if you don't know how to read.
Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
First, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Kids need to learn how to read full stop.
Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Adults need to know how to read full stop. Reading
matters so much, man. First of all, reading scrimp is
your brain, Okay, when you're flipping pages, the coding sentences,
visualizing ideas. It helps to build mental discipline and build
your vocabulary, and build your reasoning skills, even empathy.
Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Reading trains critical thinking, which is really a lost art nowadays. Okay.
Books expose you the complexity Okay, not just in regards
them understanding the complexity of financial literacy, but emotional intelligence, okay,
moral judgment, pattern recognition.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
If you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Understand anything I'm saying right now, then there's another example
of why you should read more.
Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
Financial literacy is vital there's no argument there, But there
are studies that show financial education efforts produce better outcomes
when coupled with general literacy. Okay, the budgeting, investing, financial
resilience all improve and people have a broad literacy foundation. Also, guys,
I don't know if y'all know this or not, but
(01:10:16):
math and financial literacy are not the same thing. Okay,
they overlap, but they're not the same thing. Math is
like the toolbox, right, you got your numbers and your equations,
and you know your operations and your logic. You know
adding and the subtracting, the multiplying, dividing. Math is about
how numbers work. But financial literacy is about how money works. Okay,
it's about how people use money in the real world.
(01:10:37):
So yes, you need math to understand financial literacy, especially
in regards the percentages and interest rates and basic calculations.
So I understand what y'all was trying to say in
that conversation, but I need y'all to understand how stupid
y'all look to a lot of people. Okay, nothing worse
than watching a group of black men be happy about
not knowing nothing, Okay, Right, There's nothing worse than watching
(01:10:59):
the group of black men be happy about not being
able to read. All right, Jewel's you from Halem. Okay,
you know you know who else was from Harlem. Malcolm
X was from Harlem, and Malcolm X used reading to
realize his full potential. I would say reading is the
superpower that turned Malcolm Little into Malcolm X.
Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
Malcolm X once told Alan Tanley, I knew right there
in prison that reading had changed forever.
Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
The course of my life as I see it today.
Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
The ability to read or woke inside me something long dormant,
craving to be mentally alive.
Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
That was Malcolm X.
Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
You know what my daddy used to say. He used
to say, if you want to hide something from a nigga,
put it in a book, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
All right, That right.
Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
There should make us intellectually curious enough to want to
know what the hell they hidden from us.
Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
All right, pick up a damn book, kids, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Everything that Juell's was saying you should learn can be
learned by reading. Books teach history and culture, and you know,
most importantly, something that's from the world.
Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
They teach you context, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
The world is out of context because people don't even
understand they don't even understand what context is nowadays. And
you can do audiobooks. Okay, you do audiobooks. I recommend
you do both, all right, But I'm telling you, if
you want to work out your brain, if you want to,
you know, do some exercise on your brain. Read, Okay,
And it's more importive now than ever that we read
(01:12:23):
because according to the National Literacy Institute, not only a
twenty one percent of American adults are literate, but also
one hundred and thirty million adults are now unable to
read a simple story to their children. You can't even
give your kids Cat and that hat. Okay, you don't
know how to read to your kids. Man, that's something
money can't buy. Okay, reading to your kids before bedtime,
(01:12:45):
you can't put a dollar amount on that. But the
way this world is going, you're gonna have kids in
first grade reading the daddy before he goes to.
Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
Bed, if the father is even in the house.
Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Okay, listen, I'm all for teaching on people how to
handle money, okay, off of teaching off people how to
invest and build businesses. But to think that reading is secondary,
it's like saying the foundation don't matter as long as
you got nice windows. Okay, I promise you. One of
the fastest ways the level up is reading. Okay, that's
(01:13:17):
how you learn. That'll teach you how to question things,
that'll teach you how to think. That's what literacy teaches
you how to do. Read, learn, question, think. So kids, Okay,
invest in your mind, all right, invest in your mind,
just like you want to invest in your pockets, not
because you're trying to get rich, but so you can
stay sharp and not sound illiterate on somebody's podcast. Please
(01:13:38):
give you all say Tanna the biggest he huh. Okay,
I just wanted to put that on record.
Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Okay, yes, but it's sad, it is. It's sad, but
you just it's just decide. But you know where the
frustration comes from, right, It comes from him being in
the industry or making all this money and then losing
a lot of it and being damned there broke and
saying I wish I knew generational wealth and financial literacy
(01:14:08):
to figure out what to do with that money because him,
he's probably in a situation was like, I wish I
knew what to do with the money more than anything else.
But it's also with you still reading. It's also with
the and you a rapper.
Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
The more you read, the better you get his m
Steve like you in the world economy.
Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
But that comes from I'm sure personal the fact that
he had a whole lot and had all his money
and money coming in and he didn't know what to
do with the finance, what to do with the money,
how to invest. He lost it all. So that's where
that frustration comes from, him saying, I wish I went
to class and did you know financial literacy opposed to but.
Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
The moral of the story. But it's not either or no,
it's not. It's all encompassing. It's all part of education.
It's all part of an education that you should try
to acquire on this planet while you're here.
Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
All of it all right, Well, thank you for that
donkey today Charla mine, Now can we bring Lauren back
in have a real conversation. Eight hundred five eight five
one oh five one.
Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
It's the j was instrumental, y'all, y'all?
Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Eight hundred five eight five one o five one. Now,
over the weekend she uh went out of the country
for her birthday and during this I guess vacation, her
baby put on the I guess it was like a
note on the window that said will you go out
with me? So the question is eight hundred five eight
five one oh five one? Is it necessary to ask
the question will you go out with me? First of all?
(01:15:30):
Do you have to ask whether I'll go out with you?
Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
As an uncle? I was embarrassed. And the reason I
was embarrassed or you already out the country. So you
already went out the country with the guys. So clearly
you'all have established something, right, So you post a picture
and your close friends and on the window it says,
will you be my girlfriend? I thought it was a
proposal my girlfriend. The roses and everything. I said, Oh,
(01:15:55):
I said down there, I thought you was getting proposed
to it. But see I know how to read, so
when I read it, I was like, will you be
my girlfriend?
Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
I thought it was really really cute. Why do you
hate it so bad?
Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
It was cute?
Speaker 5 (01:16:10):
And then that only sets him up for the proposal.
What the hell we gonna do for that?
Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
If he had no sixteen anymore? Like, so at that
point I have to ask you do we go out?
Or I just was like, exactly, let's discuss. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's e j Envy,
just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Now,
(01:16:37):
if you're just joining us, we're taking your calls. Eight
hundred and five eight five one oh five one. Now.
Over the weekend, our very own Lauren was on a
vacation for her birthday, and you know, she posted everything
so cool, it was so nice, everything was so dope.
Then all of a sudden we see this room with
roses and flowers, and then on the window it says,
(01:16:58):
will you go out with me?
Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
You be my girl?
Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Will you be my girl? So we're asking eight hundred
and five eight five one five one.
Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
I think it's crazy that y'all think you have to
ask whether you.
Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
Go out with somebody. Is it necessary to ask the
question when you go out with me? That is what
it is. I guess that's the question.
Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
I think it's cute, I think, and yes, to answer
your question. Before we went to break Yeah, Chris did
asked me to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
I asked you. He just straight asked me over dinner.
He ain't take me out.
Speaker 5 (01:17:23):
You know what I'm saying, don't take me to message.
Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Together? Shut up?
Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
No, but I thought it was very very cute. I
think he just wanted to court her like the right way.
I mean, because I guess it's been unspoken. Y'all were
dating for a while, it's been a thing.
Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
But I did I did make a big deal because
I'm like, it's a thing. But I felt like the
last song was in a relationship. That relationship started. I
was like nineteen twenty, so I've been asking even here,
I'm like, how do you have that conversation as an adult?
Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
Like what is it?
Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Like?
Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
I didn't remember what.
Speaker 7 (01:17:59):
It was like form, So when we just like we
linked and then we never like we've been together since,
so it kind of like just turned into a thing.
And I was like, let's have the conversation. So we
had the conversation. Then I was like, I feel like
that was supposed to be cuter, Like it was supposed
to be a thinking. He was like, that makes no sense,
Like if we together and we're doing this and we've
made it exclusive and we whatever, why does all that matter?
And then when I walk it was kind of funny
(01:18:19):
because when I walked in, I was like, you get
on my nerves because I made it such a thing
and he's like, if we've talked about it, why is
it a thing?
Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
And I'm like, I want all the bells and whistles.
Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Delivered, and.
Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
So why is it stupid?
Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
And the relationship proposal been?
Speaker 26 (01:18:34):
Man?
Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Well, no, as a very judgmental unk, I try to
mind my business and talk behind your back.
Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
And you thought i'd put you in my close friends.
I would never.
Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
But since you bring me to the radio, let's discuss. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
I'm just saying, you've been telling us that you had
a man for a while. I personally know you was
too nigga. Okay, hey, but you've been like, no, stop
saying that I got one boyfriend having Yes, I got
one boyfriend, my man, my man, my man. But to me,
if that was your man and y'all go out the
country and he finally asked you to be his girlfriend,
I'm like, oh, so you was the only person acknowledging
(01:19:08):
that you was in a relationship.
Speaker 12 (01:19:09):
I'm that point.
Speaker 7 (01:19:12):
You're taking it that way because you like a plot twist.
We all know, we know, we know how the girls
it's been a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
What do we talk about in life? We talk about
how things have to be in context. All I saw
was a baddy a picture and the picture said on
the glass, will you be my bad?
Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
I said, with you here every day? And I tell
you that's my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
I tell you we know this, li, we know this.
Speaker 26 (01:19:33):
So when I think I'm a delusional girl, I'm just
going off what I saw. If you think when you
saw what you think, I thought it was funny.
Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
I laughed, what did you You didn't think, like, damn,
he just asked her to be good. But this is
what but now when you were.
Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
But we laughed too.
Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Because it's like I was like, damn, they just asking.
They just get to this now all the country. When
you break it down, it's cute. It's the f had
a conversation. It was something that was bubbling in the relationship.
And he was like, I'm just gonna ask officially. So
I didn't know the back that was certified. You didn't
ask either, But this what you don't understand. You're posting
this to the world.
Speaker 4 (01:20:13):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
The whole world is like, damn. They out the country
and he just after you ye talking at a man,
you know what?
Speaker 21 (01:20:22):
You know?
Speaker 7 (01:20:22):
People were asking me. Everybody was like, so did you
say yes? You didn't you left us with a cliffhanger,
and I was like, I know that.
Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Why did you on that shipper? Pol, That's what the
chat is asking. Let's go on.
Speaker 7 (01:20:34):
That was the video just missed. She got all the
other videos I mentioned.
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
As soon as you start on that scripport. He was like,
God damn it, I spoke too soon. My girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (01:20:47):
Eddie, this Christian Miami, Dower County.
Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
To do more specific talk to your thoughts.
Speaker 10 (01:20:54):
Foolish man. I like three girlfriends. I don't know, I
feel like high school, especially if you're taking it out.
Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
Of town, not the town, the country.
Speaker 10 (01:21:04):
That's that's that's my point. And on top of it,
I feel like, you know, they really just like it
more so just for the post more than anything. They
want to make that IG post. You know, want to
feel special, you know, go frog, I got three girlfriends.
I never actually want to be my girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
By the way, if you're posting that on the GRAM,
you are childish year you need to nobody care about
your little goal together and thirty plus.
Speaker 7 (01:21:28):
I wanted to do it for the Gram. There was
so much more I could have posted it between us, because.
Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Yes, you know what I'm saying. If your proposed to it.
Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
Yeah, my proposal will be a thing.
Speaker 7 (01:21:38):
It'll be a whole unveiling, it'll be exclusive somewhere potentially
like Essence Vogue, whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:21:42):
We'll figure it out. But it was cute and I
wanted to share it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
I just think it's crazy to god the country with
somebody that's already been sweating on you.
Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
And have them ask you just has been my man?
Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with that?
Speaker 7 (01:21:57):
Sim actually was with me when we first started having
a conversation, because first of all.
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Stop taking invidy some single women. No, no, no.
Speaker 7 (01:22:02):
No, no no. She actually told me I was doing
a bit too much. Was like, Sim was like, look,
this man has already been dedicated to you. Y'all y'all
talked about what you need to talk about? Your being
the bells and whistles.
Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
Why does that?
Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
I just want to And I was that you didn't

a relationship. She was nineteen if I was young, so
and so now you're an adult, you mean like a
real thing, yeah, relationship as an adult? Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
And you wanted to be formally asked, can you formally

Speaker 7 (01:22:35):
I also wanted just even when we had the conversation,
I was like, I just want to know blurnt lines
because I was a little bit like are we are

Speaker 4 (01:22:42):

conversation because I was confused, that was a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
It was a long time before that. Just tell this
vacation you finally got clarity. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
We're making this dollar, making this a thing. That confusion
was like seven months ago.
Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
So you've been confused for seven months?
Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
No, stupid?
Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
When did you get clarity?
Speaker 4 (01:23:13):

Wanted to make a way for the question that my nerves.
I wanted to make it official. Basically, what you.
Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Don't you had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
I had to have a backup playing. And I remember
you saying something like that. A long time.
Speaker 26 (01:24:25):
You was like what it was step something. I remember

Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
I remember you said you had your own episode of
Love Island going on low island yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Oh god, hey, y'all, this.
Speaker 16 (01:25:08):

it's nothing wrong with her boyfriend asking her and the
cutest way.
Speaker 22 (01:25:22):
To be his girlfriend.
Speaker 27 (01:25:24):
And in this climate of dating, we actually need to
establish if we're gonna be together, if for a boyfriend
or girlfriend, because if not, at least room for error,
because if they just acting like they together and they not,
that's when people starty, you know, acting funny, like having
other people on the side, and then it's like, I mean,
we just say that we were together, So what's wrong
with him establishing up there together.
Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
I'm gonna let you know on gives a hater. I'm
a big hater, Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
You know what I'm saying because I want to make
sure that my people are being represented properly at all times.
Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
She's been out here claiming this man.
Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
For a whole damn near year and he's just getting
around the asking her to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 27 (01:25:59):
I mean, they could, y'all just don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:26:01):
And that's exactly what I just told her. That that
is I said, we had a conversation a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
The confuter was just told that you would have won.
Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
That was confused and you just told that you was
waiting on one of these men to properly step up.
Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Everson's that's what that monkey bar. You hold on the
one and wait for the other one and then.
Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
You can you y'all, I ain't never been.
Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Yeah, hot know what to what do you want? Ya single?

This is the star.
Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Could you stop? What's the story?
Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
The moral of the story is there's nothing wrong with clarity. Period.
Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
There you go at all.
Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
I want to be clear about everything in my life
in this season.
Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
I get it.
Speaker 7 (01:27:11):
I don't care if you got it. I don't care
if you got asked me or tell me three, four
or five thousand times. If you want to tell me
and show your love for me, keep doing it. I
love that, love to see it, love to be a
part of it. I had a great birthday and I
got great gifts and I'm going to Ghana. But my man,
it was my birthday gift for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 4 (01:27:28):

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Okay, so maybe he'll propose.
Speaker 4 (01:27:33):

If you proposed, I would say yes, but yes, but
he knows I want my propose.
Speaker 4 (01:27:39):

Speaker 26 (01:27:54):
I say something respectfully, No, no, no, why would you want.
Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
To propose to somebody in Delaware? Like you.
Speaker 26 (01:28:01):
Know what I'm saying that on New York you can
get in the car, go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
My grandmother is not getting on a plane or boat.
Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
Okay, but you goddamn but that's what Ilaware.
Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
That is a little crazy. You don't know your knee
in the middle of.
Speaker 5 (01:28:13):
DELI can't even get down.
Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
Don get down tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (01:28:18):
I appreciate the jokes about Baltimore, but we have a
bigger sit.
Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
You can sit Delaware inside of the hood.
Speaker 7 (01:28:25):
But we got good stuff. We got water stuff to
y'all got water front Ball Harbor. We got the waterfront, okay,
but the other things.
Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
What's the thing that we used to book when you
were kid, like the veterans in like the end, the
little end thing where you could run them out. You
can do that to be dope. Okay, I didn't know
you had the waterfront. So you got waterfront.
Speaker 4 (01:28:42):
Yeah, that's a nice restaurant.
Speaker 7 (01:28:44):
Saying beaches, we do. There's actually a gate beach. I
bet you know, I'm just being in course, you know
the beaches. That is not homophobic, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
All right, we got the ladies, Laurence.
Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
We do got the latest, So we are going to
go back fifty cent so he is telling all about
his new documentary. He sat down with Good Morning America
and Robin Roberts. We're gonna get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
Well, let's get to it now. Lauren be coming with
straight fast. She gets somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 4 (01:29:17):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
She'd be having the Latest on the Latest with Laura
la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
So it's the Latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 7 (01:29:33):
All right, So fifty cent and Alexandria, who is working
with him on this documentary, sat down with Robert Roberts
and Good Morning America to talk about Sean Combs The Reckoning,
which is a new documentary that he is bringing to
Netflix about Diddy and everything that has been happening over
this last year or so. And it airs tonight at midnight,
so December second, it's live on Netflix. It's a four
part series. Now they talk about a lot of things.
(01:29:56):
So first you get to see some of the footage
that was able to obtain that was never before seen,
and it's these are the days leading up until when
Diddy was arrested. Let's take a listen to day's leady
up to arrest.
Speaker 3 (01:30:10):
Never before seen footage of Sean Diddy Combs in the
days leading up to his arrest in New York last September.
Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
You want to put stuff on my fan black game.
Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
The exclusive video obtained by Netflix shows Combs debating with
his lawyers about strategy.
Speaker 22 (01:30:25):
Listen to me, I'm gonna get off the phone right now,
and i am going to let you professionals look at.
Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
The situation and come back to me with a solution.
No matter what nobody said.
Speaker 12 (01:30:37):
Let's just here and there, y'all are not working together
the right way.
Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
We're losing.
Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Was there anything that surprised you when you were watching it?
Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Was surprised? And did he actually filmed it?
Speaker 13 (01:30:45):
It was very interesting to watch a man who's known
for his brand presence, you know, he has a really
amazing knack for marketing and all of that, and how
he was sort of taking that into account and how
he was coming off to the public.
Speaker 24 (01:31:00):
Geez.
Speaker 7 (01:31:01):
Yeah, so, uh, that's all we get to see now,
But in the actual documentary you get to go more
into those days with him. Now here is the crazy
part about all this?
Speaker 4 (01:31:08):
So crazy? If he filmed that, yeah, we hear it.
Speaker 7 (01:31:12):
So Diddy had a video person and a photographer that
was always with him these couple of days. That video
person sent someone and didn't come on his own. Diddy
has a legal agreement. From what I'm being told by
his team, he had a legal agreement with that videographer photographer.
They are not for sure if it covers this person
that would have sold or whatever. However, fifty centertained this footage.
(01:31:36):
There was also a disagreement between Diddy and this person
who shot this footage. This guy was never paid and
they didn't find that out. His attorneys into this documentary dropped,
so all of that stuff edited, unedited that was shot
in that time. They are I mean, if they bought
it and they owned it the right way, and Diddy's
team is still checking that.
Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
Out, it's there to be used.
Speaker 7 (01:31:55):
So we are about to see some things that I'm
sure if he was in control of we might not
have seen.
Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
Now.
Speaker 7 (01:32:00):
They also get into the fact that people are saying
fifty Cent is just trying to take Diddy or add
on to what Diddy is going through because it's personal.
Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
How do you respond to people who say that? But
it's more about the stain that you have for Sean
Combs than it is for giving the victims a platform.
Speaker 21 (01:32:16):
What they consider a pre existent view right for twenty
years is me being uncomfortable with him suggesting that he
takes me shopping or I looked at it like he
was like it was like a tester, like maybe you'll
come play with me type and stop.
Speaker 13 (01:32:30):
Personally, I think it's important to also let people know
that the show is not completely the perspectives of people
that did not like Seawan. We weren't trying to just
get the highlights, the salacious details. You know that the
real goal was to storytell. And if you not, everyone
needed to have an allegation to be a part of
this project.
Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
Was that the whole context, I need to hear the
whole crazy.
Speaker 7 (01:32:55):
But y'all know fifty cent is also you know he's
being a little humorous at the same time, we.
Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Don't know that.
Speaker 1 (01:33:01):
And then before all we know, did he really made
him feel uncomfortable? When did he said he wanted to
take him shoping? And by way, I've been talking about
that for you. Did he was up here? Did he
was like you wanted to take fifty shopping?
Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
Fifty stupid to it. That's one of the people you
don't play with. If you've got problems with him, you
got problems with him for life. Now question who else
is on the documentary?
Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
So listen. They have jurors that are part of it.
Speaker 7 (01:33:21):
Aubry O Day who was a former member of Dannity
Kane and making the band, Kirk Burroughs, who was co
founder of bad Boy.
Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
They have a guy who rubbed the semen on his nipples.
Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
I don't know that means that that sports name.
Speaker 7 (01:33:34):
Uh, it wasn't that wasn't punish, No, it was a
different one. U D one, Eric Sermon, Roxanne Johnsonermond rapper
and former member of E P M D. Roxanne Johnson
who was ex wife of bad Boy artist Craig mac
Mark Curry, who's a former bad Boy artist Kaleina Harper,
(01:33:56):
which I think is also insane because you guys know
she's a former member of the Dirty Money and this
is the So it was her and it was Dawn. Remember,
people were alleging that Diddy like might have paid her
off and something because allegedly because he was there was
contact between him and her, and she was saying that
what Dawn was saying wasn't true. Brooklyn Bapps, who was
on making the band, Clayton Howard, Capricorn Clark, I'm like,
(01:34:21):
how Capricorn Clark, who was a former assistant and create
a director as bad Boy, She had.
Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
Some good testimony.
Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
That was the one that was in the call when yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:34:32):
And I'm like, yo, how how like? Yeah, how did
he get her in this? I don't know, Yeah, there's
about to be.
Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
In the jurors.
Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
Why do you think she wouldn't do a doc? She
testified against them.
Speaker 4 (01:34:43):
I mean, I don't know, but the jurors, I think, and.
Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
I think she wants to write a book.
Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
Yeah, wouldn't I just thought maybe she. I don't know.
Speaker 12 (01:34:54):
It is.
Speaker 7 (01:34:55):
I cannot believe the jurors too, even like the people
who like they talked to the juri, Yeah, they talk.
Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
To It just has jurors with it asks.
Speaker 7 (01:35:03):
I don't know, like whatever, what we get to watch
tomorrow tonight at midnight?
Speaker 12 (01:35:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
Watch now, I'm gonna say up for it too.
Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
I'm saying watching.
Speaker 7 (01:35:15):
So a lot of people have been talking about, you know,
whether this turns another bad light onto hip hop and
hip hop being attacked and like why fifty cent wants
to be the person that adds into this.
Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
Let's sake, let's than fifty talk about that.
Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
Do you think that hip hop culture was on trial
as much as Sean Colmes was.
Speaker 21 (01:35:30):
No, Look, if I didn't say anything, you would have
interpreted as hip hop is fine with his behaviors because
no one else being vocal. So you would look at
it and just say because that that mind your business,
or let me not say nothing about nothing or those
things that it would allow the entire culture to register
us if they're for that behavior.
Speaker 3 (01:35:50):
If Shawn Combs watches this, what do you think he's
gonna feel.
Speaker 12 (01:35:54):
Like, Wow, this is amazing.
Speaker 21 (01:35:55):
I think he's gonna say this is the best documentary
I've seen in a long time, because you'll see people
saying that he might feel a different way about pieces
and bets of it, but you know it's true. I
think he'll see the truth in that.
Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
Yo, this has nothing to do with hip hop, and
I hate when they do that, Like when Harvey Weinstein
is on trial, nobody says.
Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
What was this Hollywood on trial?
Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
When when when Abercambie and fitched guys on trial, nobody says, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
The clothing industry on trial. Like, No, it has nothing
to do with hip hop. This was one man's choices.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
This is about Diddy and nothing else. Ain't nothing to
do with no damn it. But I hate when they
do that.
Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
I'm sure you're gonna see a bunch of lawsuits because
if that guy worked for Diddy, he so let footage
to somebody else. He had to be on the contract,
right what happened? You stipulations? Because there's no way Diddy's
gonna have people around him that he does not own
that footage. I can't see like, I can't see that.
Speaker 4 (01:36:39):
That was the first question I asked, you made a mistake?
Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Yeah, I mean like yeah, and then how the hell
are you gonna let him just leave with the footage,
so that that footage come with me? That has the
call come with me.
Speaker 7 (01:36:48):
So I don't have any confirmations of any legal action
as of yet, but the statement that I received from
Diddy's team says that we have confirmed that Netflix used
footage that was never authorized for release, including private moments.
Speaker 1 (01:36:59):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (01:36:59):
The footage was created for an entirely different purpose under
an agreement that was never completed. So for background information,
what I was told was that Diddy's team says that
there was supposed to have been a conversation between Netflix
and Diddy, and he was recording footage Diddy to do
his own documentary, but once he was told he was
not going to have full creative control, he backed out
of the situation with Netflix, and they believe that this
(01:37:20):
is some of the footage that was being used for that.
But from what I was told, there's a contract with
the original photographer videographer, but they don't know if it
covers this guy yet, So they're still trying to sort
that out to see if there's any legal steps that
they can take.
Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
And then I wonder if legal steps are taken, do
they go after the videographer because he's the one that
allegedly sold it, right, so they would have to go
after him because they made the deal with him. Correct
may already coming out, Yes, coming out.
Speaker 4 (01:37:46):
You're gonna see it, You're gonna watch it.
Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Yeah, everybody gonna watch it tomorrow, they gonna record it.
And plus it's Netflix. Right, Netflix ain't even gonna put
that out unless they've already crossed all egross.
Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
You said down to the cross the cross you always
try to what I did. I'm no legal action can
happen from it though, right, that's it. Well, they I.
Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
Don't know because they don't know yet what were the
terms and not the terms of all that.
Speaker 4 (01:38:26):
But they did tell me that they're they're legal.
Speaker 7 (01:38:28):
Their legal team is formally notifying Netflix of the fact
that they feel like that this was unauthorized.
Speaker 4 (01:38:32):
You still like, you know all the things that they just.
Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
Said, like said too late.
Speaker 7 (01:38:37):
Putting this unleft they but I know he got this
appeal coming up, So I don't know character wise how
this might help because of judge and anybody like that
was my point. Yeah, and I asked that and they said, listen,
not legally, but judges are human and maybe they get
some emotional spirit out of this and render decision based
on some of that.
Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
Which and he just need to go pills and potatoes.
Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
Okay, he's how many times like like just due the time, like.
Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
The chapel, Sir, he does books, not food, oh or whatever.

Speaker 8 (05:15):
Good morning, Envy, Josh Chela? Mate, how y'all doing this morning?
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
All right?
Speaker 9 (05:20):
So we start this morning in Washington, where investigators are
still working through that ambush that killed one National Guard
member and left another in critical condition just blocks away
from the White House. Now, officials say twenty year old
specialist Sarah Beckstrom was killed and twenty four year old
staff sergeant Andrew Wolf remains in critical condition after both
were shot in broad daylight while walking there patrol route
(05:43):
last week. Now, authorities say the gunman and Afghan refugee
opened fire with a revolver before another Guard member returned
fire and detained him. He is now under guard at
the hospital and prosecutors are pursuing a first degree murder charge.
Speaker 10 (05:58):
Now.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
In the wake of the shooting, and Trump has paused
all asylum decisions from so called third world countries and
ordered US embassies to stop issuing visas to Afghan nationals.
Why the administration reviews its vetting system the White House
is placing blame on the prior administration, even though immigration
records showed the suspect's asylum was approved this April under
(06:20):
the Trump administration's own process. A national security official say
the suspect previously served on a CIA trained strike force
in Afghanistan, meeting he would have had to gone through
US security vetting years before ever coming to the United States.
Now Homeland Security Secretary Christi noms She was asked about
those conflicting details, including the vetting and the asylum approval,
(06:41):
during an appearance yesterday on Meet the Press.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Let's listen to that exchange.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
But I just want to be.
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Very clear about this, because his asylum was approved in
April of this year on the Trump administration's watch. Yeah,
the vetting process all happened under Joe Biden's ADMINISTERTA was
when he was granted asylum. Are you saying he wasn't
vetted with vetting? Is vetting is happening when they come
into the country, and that was completely abandoned under Joe
(07:09):
Biden's administration. And that's why I'm so grateful we have
a president now that isn't going to allow it to happen.
That he now has put in place measures under his
watch at the Department of Homeland Security, that we are
bringing in new information on vetting, new information to use,
such as what do they do on Facebook, what do
they do on TikTok and other social media platforms.
Speaker 9 (07:33):
Well, the President is now requesting an additional five hundred
National Guard troops to be sent to Washington, and so far,
officials say they still.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Do not have a motive for that shooting that took place.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I hate our things move so fast in this country.
Like you hear about two National Guard members getting killed
before you can digest that Trump is permanently pausing my migration,
you know not, they're politicizing the situation already, like I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We don't even, like you said, we don't even know
what the motive was yet exactly.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
So they're still investigating that.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
We're gonna talk more to your point, Charlomagne, how fast
the news cycle moves about Venezuela in the next hour,

Speaker 7 (16:19):
So the holiday weekend was pretty festive for some So
we're gonna start with ray Ja and Princess Love. So
over the holiday we're going on thanksgiven morning. Actually, ray
J was he was arrested and he was charged with
making a criminal threat. His bell was set to fifty
thousand dollars, which he later posted, and everything was on
(16:41):
live stream. So let's take a listen to Ray J
and Princess Love get into it on Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What you're trying to do? Take my kids? Okay, take
your kids? Watch out a cry.
Speaker 18 (16:51):
Take my kids because y'all drunk drive drunk princess drive,

Speaker 2 (16:58):

Why did you wake my daughter up? You're a woman abused,
a woman that's drunk. Honestly, you know you're not taking
my son to you stop, to you to stop stop.
I'm trying to help you out. So what you hear
(17:38):
is a lot of it that is not okay. Okay,
that's not okay. But the dumb boy because curse.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Well, but basically what happened.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
And so I talked to ray J trying to kind
of understand where all of this came from, because Princess
Love later went and explained her side of it, and
will listen to her as well, and she because we
were all trying to figure out why they were together
on Thanksgiving, being as though they're separate and a co parent, like,
what made them choose to be together because we know
that sometimes yeah, but they haven't had the best cordial relationship,
(18:09):
So I just naturally would have assumed that they would
have done things, given it two different places and figured
that out.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Prince explained was.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
What I'm saying is we're gonna get to that.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
But backtracking it, I asked ray J what was happening
prior to this live stream and why did you go
on live stream to do all of this? And he
says that they got into a downstairs Yes, I spoke
to ray Ja.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
He says that they were prepping the food, you know, holidays.
They're right drinking, prepping food, and they got into a
conversation about a woman that he's dealing with, Sheila, the
woman that was up here with him, and he says
that went left, and when that one left, things kind
of got under control.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
He says.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
He claims he went on live stream because he wanted
to have an account of things from his point of
view because everyone else was recording in the house, so
then we see or we hear all of the chaos breakout.
He says that the police were called, and you hear
the police actually coming to the house later on in
the live stream, and ray j a legends there were
like fourteen police officers that showed up. The kids are screaming, crying,
(19:07):
everything's happening, and then he's taken away. Now, he also
is saying to me that he did not pull the
gun on Princess Love. In the live stream, you do
see him with a gun when he says that someone
is coming up to grab his kids. He says that
it was because of her cousin's husband, the guy that
you hear tackle ray J. But he says that he
(19:29):
would never have pulled a gun on his kid in
his kid's mom. Now, Princess Love did go online and
speak from her point of view and clear things on her,
and I did reach out to her by having her back.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Anything additional Dinnis video, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 20 (19:42):
I just want to say I've been doing a really
great job at protecting my peace. I love my kids,
and I would never do anything to put them in danger,
including leaving them with the man who's waving a gun around.
I'm the best mother, and I do it alone while
you're out here running around the world women and abusing women.
What I'm not about to do is let you deflect
(20:04):
and not take accountability for your actions for pulling a
gun out on me and my cousin's husband. Because I
was trying to take my kids and leave your house.
I agreed to come over there and cook for Thanksgiving
because I wanted you to be around your kids with
me present, because the last time I left them with you,
they found you naked in the bed with a woman,
and when I tried to ask you about it, you
(20:25):
told me to find myself and that I don't run
over there.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Take accountability.
Speaker 17 (20:30):
Ray do better check yourself into rehab because you're more
than drunk. Everything I do I do for my kids,
including being around you when I don't want you or
have to. I'm going to continue to pray for you
and pray that you get the help.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That you need.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
So the woman that she's mentioning, ray J told me
is with Sheila as well, and he said that the
way that the incident happened. It wasn't like he was
just like aimlessly walking around with this woman in front
of his kids. The house is separate where they were upstairs,
there's nanny's and he's back and forth, and then he
was there with her, but it didn't happen. He's a
legend it didn't happen the way that she's saying it.
(21:04):
But he's also a legend that he didn't pull the
gun on her. And at this point too, I've asked him, like,
have you been able to talk to your kids? Because
they're screaming at the top of their lungs at the
end of that first recording, have you been able to
talk to them to just make sure they're okay. He
says he hasn't talked to his kids, and he probably
won't until after everything ends, and he's talking about he
goes back to court on December nineteenth for this incident.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
So yeah, that's where they've left off at this.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I wonder how much law enforcement uses social media content
for situations like this.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I'm sure a lot a lot.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Probably, Yeah, they use it a lot in other situations,
so I don't know why they wouldn't in this one.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I wouldn't. Well it's not my business, but I wonder
why Ray would have Sheila around his kids if he
had his kids, you know, I mean unless that was
his girl and they would you know, thinking about moving on,
Like would you have your kids around somebody you just
knocking off? Like is that kind of weird?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Not really, but that's the I mean, yeah, it's weird
to answer your question, but I mean that's his girlfriend, right,
I mean, he was just up here, he told you
that was his girl, right, Yeah, But because I know
everything is like for the antics and like the show TV.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, but you know, you just never know what is
you know.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Just I don't believe anything I see online when it
comes from that way.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I believe what I saw just now, and I don't
like none of it.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah, not that I'm talking about, like with his relationship
with the girls, like the press run that they're doing.
I mean, he got a show on Zoos that he's
trying to promote as well. So I mean, I don't
know if I believe that relationship. But if he was
to have his kids around her, I mean, it would
be because that's his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I guess. I just wonder what makes people say I'm
gonna go live with this.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Well, he was like, I asked him that, and I said,
I told him, I'm like, you know how stupid that
was to see.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You on Live with a gun in your hand. But
he literally said to Cam Newton. Did he say to Cam?
Was some one of those interviews that he did where
He's like, Yo, as long as.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
I'm going down on a decline, whatever is negative itself?
Like nobody sees the good I do because I have
to pay for people to post that. I don't got
to pay for blugs. The post was anything negative about me.
So I crashed out literally willing because you see for life.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
He is being He had to go over to Kick
once he got released, and we have that audio, but
he said he went live to protect himself. Let's take
a listen to him after he was released on Kick.
Speaker 18 (23:15):
I just got out of jail. It's not cool. Jail
was not okay. Bro, just arguing with this here off
in jail. That's crazy. Yeah, Bro, almost beating full time
because I'm like, BO, I'm trying to survive in there,
bro uf in there, bro under his bed. Bro, it
was crazy almost beat that under his bed. Bro talking
(23:36):
about ray J ray J.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
It was a lot. Never go to jail, y'all. It
was really bad. Nah.
Speaker 18 (23:41):
We banned from Twitch permanently forever. We'll never be able
to go back on Twitch. Well, we just transferred over.
They banned me permanently because I was defending my kids.
Speaker 10 (23:50):
But I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 18 (23:54):
I don't work for lady. I don't work for nobody
we've worked with.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So he didn't show gun because I didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, you don't see him pull it or point it
at Princess Love in the videos I saw and the
gun d but you hear.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Him threatened and shoot the shot of somebody. That's the
guy that yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, see That's why I don't see how it going
live protects him in this situation. Because if somebody accuses
you of pointing a gun at them, and then you
in the video with a gun, you know, people are
just gonna start piecing all types of things together, right,
you know, I don't see how that helped him.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
In this situation.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Yeah, he's claiming it's because they were the guy was trespassing,
because he shouldn't have been upstairs.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
In his heart understood that when I saw the random
guy come in. I understood that because I didn't know
who that dude was. But once again, we don't know
the context. We just know he went live in that moment.
We don't know everything that happened around that situation.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
The guy was her cousin's husband.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Right, Yeah, And and he says that he came upstairs
because Princess left told him to come and help her
get the kids. But he ray J said, basically that
crossed the line.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Princess.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Of course you're gonna come get the kids. Do what
you're gonna do. I ain't gonna argue with you. He
said he would never put it. He wasn't gonna put
his hands on or anything like that either. But the husband,
he said that and tried to get his kids out
of his bed.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
They did get the kids out of the bed, they
were sleeping.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
So yeah, there's gonna be more because he will go
be in court in a few weeks. So we'll keep
you guys updated.

I'm sorry, just trying to move fast.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I'm sorry, stuff me all right, y'all.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
Well to new fallout this morning over those US military
strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean. Those
strikes have now killed over eighty people. According to a
Washington Post report, Defense Secretary Pete Hetseath he allegedly told
troops who quote kill everybody during an operation in early September,
and sources familiar with the mission say a second strike
(26:38):
was later carried out that killed the survivors of that
first hit, and the Pentagon has it confirmed those allegations,
but the allegations alone they have triggered bipartisan oversight on
Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are now looking into whether the
missions broke US or international law. At the administration, they
they maintained that the people killed were quote narco terrorists
(26:59):
tied to foreign terrorist organizations, and that the strikes are
legal because drug cartels have been labeled as terrorists groups
under the Trump administration.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Meanwhile, heg Seth, he's pushing back.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
He's calling the report fake news and insisting the strikes
were aimed at stopping drug smuggling boats. And President Trump,
he's defending him to a group of reporters this weekend
on Air Force One.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Let's listen to that exchange.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
We didn't even know what people were talking about. So
we'll look at we'll look into it. But no, I
wouldn't have wanted that not a second strike.
Speaker 14 (27:32):
The first strike was very lethal, it was fine, and
if there were two people around, but Peach said.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I have great confidence. I don't know. I've better find
out about it.
Speaker 12 (27:44):
But Peach said he did not order the death of
those two mens.
Speaker 15 (27:48):
Any concerns about how those boat strikes have been carried down.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
At all, very little because you could see the boats,
you can see the drug said the boats.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
So the President doesn't need to be brief beforehand.
Speaker 19 (27:59):
Exactly, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
About second scrass when I'm trying to figure out it.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Well, the President also says that he's going to pardon
the former president of Hondors, who was serving forty five
years for helping cartels move cocaine into the US. And
Trump said that the president the former president of Hondors,
he was treated unfairly. But some lawmakers, they are noting
the contrast that the administration is striking alleged narco terrorists
on boats while pardoning a leader convicted of drug trafficking,
(28:27):
and meanwhile, the president is ordering the airspace over Venezuela
close as the US increases its military presence there.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
So We'll continue to watch what's happening.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Talk about a lack of consistency, Jesus Christ, for sure,
A lot of people are pointing that out.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
And now to a story in northern California where investigators
are searching for whoever opened fire at a child's birthday
party in Stockton, a mass shooting that left four people dead,
including three children, and eleven others injured. Officialll say more
than one hundred pe people were inside a banquet hall
on Saturday evening when the shootings started indoors and spilled outside.
(29:05):
The victims were just eight, nine, and fourteen years old,
along with a twenty one year old adult. Officials believe
this was a targeted attack and are asking the community
for surveillance, video, tips, even rumors that could possibly help
identify the shooters. On Sunday, families returned to the scene
to collect their children's birthday gifts and belongings. City and
(29:25):
county leaders they are calling on the shooters to come forward,
their urging neighbors to come forward with any information. I've
been in touch with Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee, who
grew up in the area and has been with families
on the ground. He spoke at a prayer visual yesterday,
urging families to stay calm and to not retaliate as
families begin to process their trauma.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Let's listen to some of that.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
But what I will say to the people that did
this is, it's never been gangster to kill kids.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Never, It's never been gangst.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
To to kill kids.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
You went a in a birthday party and shot people's children.
Parents brought their children out, and they left.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
With medical examiners. That is not human. That is not human.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
And I will say to those who are thinking of retaliation,
when my brother got murdered, I thought about it too.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's human to want to hurt people who hurt people
you love.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
But I had a choice to make, and I hope
that the people out there in our community to make
the right.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Choice and contact law enforcement.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Called me and called the Mari, Call whoever you know,
called the pastors, Call your friend, Turn yourself in, because
at some point, the redemption for what you did is
gonna happen when you see the person that created you.
But you can start that process by turning yourself into
doing the right thing today.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Hey, Jason is right, But whatever happens to those people
happens to them, man, ef you know, like that's I
feel like you gotta find them type of folks and
bury them under the jail or are or whatever happens
in the process of you know, them getting caught.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It just, you know, whatever happens to them happen.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I can can't let you pull them to a birthday
party and shoot off all those shots and kill kids.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Can you imagine? It's no, I can't imagine. That's just
Oh my god, And I don't want to imagine.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
God, bless those families man, that got to deal with
that during the holiday season.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Oh my god, right before Christmas. Man, very very sad.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
The city says counselors will be available at school this week,
especially since one of the youngest victims she was a
student in the district and her parents worked for the
school system.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
The district attorney is.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Urging the shooter or the shooters to turn themselves in,
and Stockton is now offering a twenty five thousand reward
for information leading to the arrest.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
How old are these kids maybe?
Speaker 19 (31:33):
Did they say they were eight?
Speaker 21 (31:34):
Now?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Oh yeah, Jesus yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
The oldest one was twenty one as an adult. But
there are still eleven others injured, so we'll continue to
watch and see, you know, what their progress is. We
don't know this morning, but there's been three hundred and
eighty mass shootings in the US so far this year,
and that a mass shooting is where four more.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
People have been shot. So it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 16 (31:59):
So thank you.
Speaker 8 (32:01):

All right, may now, when we come back, we have
James JJ eighty eight, Jacobs, Kntessa Giles, and Richie Riseda.
When we come back, they have a new documentary is
called Songs from the Whole Now. It's a documentary that
details James's life. He was convicted of murder as a teenager.
When he got to jail a day later, he found
out that his brother had died and my brother got killed.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, a lot of people have been watching it on
Netflix though they can't wait to talk about it with them.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yes, we're gonna talk to him next about it. It's
the Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning. Everybody is dj n
V just HILARI is Chlamage God. We are the Breakfast
Club Long the Roses. Here today we got some special
guest in the building from the documentary on Netflix, Songs
from the Whole. We have James Jacobs JJ eighty eight.
We have Contessa, Gails and Richie Riscilla. Welcome you guys.
(32:57):
Feeling just on Netflix right now, by the way, yes, yeah, Feeling. Now.
For people that haven't seen the documentary, break down what
the documentary is about.
Speaker 22 (33:07):
Well, it's a documentary visual album. We tell the story
of my life. When I was fifteen, I was incarcerated
for a second degree murder and during that time I
spent eighteen years in prison, and during that time I
wrote an album. I met him, we produced and recorded
that album in prison, and I wrote the visuals.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
We met Contesta and Let's be Good film essentially.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Also, I want to ask you something media. You know,
at fifteen you committed a crime. It was a murder,
and then three days later your brother was killed. But
how did those two events so close together, I guess,
shape your sense of identity and ultimately give you purpose.
Speaker 22 (33:46):
I guess, oh yeah, Well, at first it took me
down like a really dark like mental place and after
coming through like you know, suicidal ideations, and just at
first I just felt like, at first I just felt.
Speaker 12 (34:04):
Kind of purposeless.
Speaker 22 (34:06):
I took a life, which at fifteen it's kind of
hard to hold and really recognize the gravity of it.
But by the time I was eighteen and in prison,
I just kind of felt worthless and without hope. And
losing my brother within that span was kind of like
he was kind of who I was emulating and admiring
(34:28):
growing up.
Speaker 12 (34:29):
So it really devastated me.
Speaker 22 (34:31):
And however, like through music is like it kind of
gave me a place to talk about it and talk
about what me and the homies was just experiencing what
me and my family went through. And so through I
guess through music is where I kind of found purpose
in my story and where I could use it.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I want to talk about when you was fifteen, man,
because you said something that I often feel like with
these kids, and all all of us were kids at
once some point, you make a terrible choice, a temporary
decision at least, I mean, if temporary feeling leads to
a permanent decision, you know, do you really understand the
consequences of your actions at that time.
Speaker 22 (35:11):
I mean not in the way that I do now
when you fifteen, you know, I mean, I think when
I was a kid, I knew if you shoot someone,
they could die. Like I know that I've seen people die.
I've seen violence in my community, but I don't think
I knew what it meant for real, like the finality
(35:33):
of it at fifteen. I don't think I knew truly
at fifteen the impact it was having not only on
this person but their family. When there's people that I've
like got back in touch with since I got home,
who were you know, there that night and had to
witness that and that night altered their life. And I
(35:56):
didn't learn that until I was in my thirties. So
you don't at fifteen, you don't understand the gravity of it,
but you do understand that it is serious. And the
older I got, the more mature I became, the more
I understood how serious it is, which is why we
made this film for real.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
No, you were charged as an adult, not a child.
Why was that?
Speaker 12 (36:17):
Because California is racist?
Speaker 2 (36:21):
To put it simple, Yes, fifteen serving eighteen years. It
just seems like in any other state you would have
been charged as a child. Giving a second chance, another
opportunity on Nah.
Speaker 22 (36:32):
They doing it in other states too, They charged they
charged kids as adults because they want to take away
futures and they have a belief in this like punishment system.
We live in a culture where revenge is normal. We
value it as a culture. Revenge is something that we explore.
(36:56):
Me being a perpetrator of murder and having my brother murdered,
it's something that I had to face for myself, you know.
So the reason why they charge us as adults when
we're kids is because they believe in revenge.
Speaker 12 (37:08):
They believe in retribution. They believe in eye for an eye.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
At fifteen years old, when you were sending it in
front of the judge, not really understanding what's happening in
your sentence in the doc, you talk about looking over
to your atturney and being like someone, am I going home?
Speaker 12 (37:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Right?
Speaker 7 (37:23):
What at that moment as a kid, what did you
need outside of just being locked away behind bars? Like
what could they have given you that would have actually,
like in that moment, helped you reform?
Speaker 22 (37:35):
Do you mean, like after I I've committed murder, Like
what to offer a kid?
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Like what should be the you know, the rehabilitation of
a person that is fifteen years old, that murders a person.
Speaker 22 (37:46):
I don't know what it should be. I can tell
you what I did. What helped me was like just
having safe places to talk about it. So I didn't
to talk about what I had done. I don't think
I needed to necessarily be locked away. Once I committed murder,
I knew it was foul. I felt the seriousness of it.
(38:09):
It wasn't like I was. I wasn't celebrated by my homies,
So I knew that this was not the move to make.
But I needed to understand why, and I didn't get
that opportunity in court. They don't give you an opportunity
to understand why you are in this moment, how serious
it is that you have taken a life and there's
(38:32):
no plan to help you mature through it and process it.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
You know, you said you weren't celebrated.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
You also talk a lot about how you thought, like,
you know, this is kind of like a song, like
we talked about it in the song song is Over.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, So you.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
Had an idea of what you thought committing a crime
would be like, and then you actually found yourself committing.
Speaker 22 (38:51):
Yeah, I mean that's true. For a lot of my homies.
We listen to music and this is no, this is
no like condemnation on like hip hop, in the music
we grow up on.
Speaker 12 (39:02):
I think it's just true.
Speaker 22 (39:04):
That when I listened to music as a kid, when
I watched films as a kid, and I saw violence,
it didn't seem you know, the film cuts off and
then I see on the red carpet. Excuse me, I
see you on the red carpet, like it's regular. You
don't really understand that that person in that story didn't come.
Speaker 12 (39:23):
Back in real life.
Speaker 22 (39:25):
And so as a kid, I thought, you know, in
two thousand and three, two thousand and four, I was
listening to Get Rich of I Trian and like that
was the epitome of being against.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
And so.
Speaker 22 (39:40):
Once I realized after you know, as a kid, it's
not it ain't you know, just a song. It like
when you go back to your homies, they gonna look
at you and they gonna be scaredy, they gonna look
at you and they gonna have real fear, Like what
did you just do?
Speaker 12 (39:54):
The homies ask me what you just do? Fool? What
did you do?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Like?
Speaker 12 (39:59):
Why did you do? That the homie.
Speaker 22 (40:01):
Everybody I know who had a murder in prison, like
they none of them got dapped up when a helmies
found out.
Speaker 12 (40:08):
Everybody got what.
Speaker 22 (40:11):
They might talk about it and even like they tell
they tell war stories, sure, but it's like not not
after it happened. I don't know nobody who got dapped
up directly after like we did that.
Speaker 12 (40:23):
Let's go.
Speaker 22 (40:24):
This is in that car, quiet smoking, drinking.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
Them It's seriously quiet.
Speaker 22 (40:33):
It ain't no game like that's That's what I came
to realize that, you know, you you take a life.
It ain't it ain't it ain't fun. It's not it's
not honorable to me, especially in the context of just
regular streeting.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Like contestant and Richie. How y'all can make with James
to help them tell the story.
Speaker 23 (40:54):
So what what ady E didn't share was that he
wrote the music that's in the film and solitary confinement.
After he got out of solitary, he transferred to the
prison where Richie was at and that's how they met.
He could talk about how they collaborated more on the music.
But I met the both of them when I was
filming a documentary for CNN. I used to work at CNN,
(41:16):
and the last project I did for them was a
feature called the Feminists on Cell Black Wie, and it
was about a group that Richie had co founded in
prison and was leading for his fellow incarcerated men with
their reading feminist literature like Belle Hooks and you know,
learning about patriarchy and how it shows up in their
lives and unlearning it. So Richie was leading that group
(41:38):
and eighty eight was a participant and a co facilitator
of that group. And that was the first time that
I heard a little bit of eighty eight story. And
it was the last day of filming that documentary had
nothing to do with the group, but the two of
them were in the prison gym and it was Richie's
last day at the prison. He was about to be
transferred to finish his sentence somewhere else. And they had
(42:00):
the prison rental keyboard, and Richie had the keyboard on
a trash can, and eighty eight was singing and rapping
some of those songs that he wrote in solitary, and
there was a group of the guys gathered around and
like they knew all the lyrics, so you could tell
like this is you know something that they've been sharing,
and I was just struck by like how powerful the
music was, how much storytelling there was in eighty eight's lyrics,
(42:23):
But I didn't know the context of you know, his
story and the relationship between that and the music and
how he came to the whole and writing that music
in the hole. Fast forward a year after that film
came out, they both approached me about, you know, would
you want to work on a visual album using eighty
eight's music. You know you heard some of it. I
was like, some me what you got, and I once
(42:48):
I would like listen to the recordings and really like,
over the course of our development, got to know more
about how eighty eight came to the Whole and then
writing the music there, and then what they were able
to do inside producing a whole album. I knew that
we had something really special that could really be a testimony,
Like eighty eight story is a testimony, and the music
(43:09):
is so impactful in being able to like hold the
narrative and tell his story. So we started collaborating from
there and really like evolved our relationship from this like
kind of more traditional space of like journalistic I was
the filmmaker. They were the film participants to like co
collaborators on this project, and it was a true collaboration,
like eighty eight was inside the whole time. We were
(43:31):
eight months into the edit when he was released, and
we managed to figure out how to collaborate across the
prison walls through phone calls, through letters, you know, fifteen
minute phone calls at a time.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
That's how we met. I got a two paul question
for you, eighty eight. We're gonna ask Richie how mat
because I know you asked both from Bode.
Speaker 23 (43:49):
Yeah, Richie could fell it.
Speaker 24 (43:50):
Though I had met eighty eight while I was in prison.
I had just released an album from prison, so everybody
at the prison kind of knew me as a producer.
Eight got to the yard. The people who knew him
from other prisons were like, you.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
Got to meet eighty eight. You got to meet eighty eight.
Speaker 24 (44:05):
And you know, I wasn't a lot of everybody in
prison think they can rap, just like everybody on the streets.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
You know what I'm saying. I wasn't like in.
Speaker 24 (44:16):
A rush to meet him necessarily. I was like, okay,
But when I did meet him. We have a homie
named Talib who was trying to put together a poetry book.
So he was bringing all these artists together. And we
had met in the in the law library and I
heard him rap and sing, and I was blown away. Honestly,
(44:38):
he could both rap and sing very well, which a
lot of people can't do. Usually they do one well
and then the other they kind of do for fun.
And the story he was telling and the position he
had on it, it's not an easy thing to make
music that doesn't necessarily glorify or judge the streets. And
(44:59):
I was like, yo, let's let's let's make this album.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
YEA had only equipment in jail. You were able to
have the equipment in jail.
Speaker 24 (45:05):
No, we broke the rules. The way that we made
the album was against the rules. Well, y'all out now,
but I can't tell you because it's people in who
still make music that way. But yeah, the way we
made this album in prison was completely against the rules.
The prison was against it in every way. They ran
up in myself. They threatened to send me to the
(45:26):
whole for making music, and.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
That it was.
Speaker 12 (45:29):
They denied me at board for making music.
Speaker 22 (45:31):
Really, I was able to be a part of a
collaboration that Richie was EPN and it featured incarcerated artists
and free artists, And when I got to board, they
named that It's like a reason why I was in
danger to society is that you make music.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Wow.
Speaker 24 (45:50):
Yeah, it's important to point out he had life. He
wasn't sentenced to eighteen years. He was sentenced to forty
years to double life. So you know, we didn't know
when eighty.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Was coming home.
Speaker 24 (46:00):
We knew spiritually he was coming home, but we didn't
know when he was coming home. So when we finished
the album, we were like, you know, typically you finish,
you do an album, then you tore it, and we
didn't have that opportunity with him. So we're like, let's
do a visual album, and that's kind of how the
idea began. Then we approached contestant. She built it out
to an actual film.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
One other question, is it true that you can't profit
off of a crime that was done? Is that true? Yeah?
Speaker 24 (46:24):
So in California, the way that the law is written
is that basically you can't take if you're incarcerated in California,
you can't talk about your crime in a way that
makes you money. So you can't write a book about
it and make money. You can't make music about it
or a film or anything and make money. All of
that typically has to go to the people who are
impacted by about the crime. And eighty eight case is
(46:47):
unique in that he didn't The album in the film
is not about the fact that he harmed somebody, but
rather that that he had committed harm and he had
been harmed, that his brother was murdered. So but we
also didn't released it until he got out.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
During your time, it's ild taking finding an idiot like
you turned music into a lifeline, right, Like, what was
the moment you realized music was an escape for you?
And I know that probably kept you singing in the whole.
Speaker 22 (47:13):
Yeah, as soon as I got in and when I
as soon as I got locked up, I.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Knew I grew up with music. I grew up in
the church.
Speaker 22 (47:20):
I grew up singing, I grew up rapping. I started
like writing in about the seventh grade. So when I
got locked up, you don't know what the hell to do.
When you're a kid just in a box kind of
you're just sitting there thinking, you're listening to different sounds,
and suddenly next to me, the sale next to me
is the hommy we call him Johnny West Jonathan Marquez.
(47:43):
He beating on the bed and he rapping, but he
rapping radio songs, some of his you know, he was
rapping some of his stuff, but mostly he was just
rapping songs that.
Speaker 12 (47:51):
We all knew.
Speaker 22 (47:53):
And so I was like, hey, yo, I yelled through
the vent, like yo, I could I could rap too,
Like when we come out, we're gonna rap. We get
to the day room, he beat on the table, and
when I perform, like these little chicken excuse my language,
these little like you know, raps I wrote in this cell.
The you know, the kids is kind of like yo,
you are and it's like changing the environment. So when
(48:15):
I when I realized, like, oh, I could impact people
around me just by you know, occupying our time. They're
not like annoyed trying to get away from me. They
like spit that song. I started to do it more,
and then I shared it with my father, who is
an elder in the church and doesn't listen to hip hop,
and he's just like, well, you know, son, music brings
(48:37):
people joy. So if you share your gift with them
and become their joy, they will protect their joy. And
so share your gift with people and you'll see that.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Is that the moment you realize that music can also
be your voice?
Speaker 21 (48:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 22 (48:53):
I mean, I've always known music was a medium to
like express myself and use my voice. It was gonna
come in some oratory fashion for me. My dad being
a pastor, my mom being a singer. I knew like
the power of my voice. I just didn't know the
significance of it. Sometimes I still don't. But I didn't
(49:14):
know that it could be meaningful to write what's happening
in my life, to be meaningful that people would actually
value it and care about it until I started to
see the impact I was having on the yard.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
Contested this footage in the dock that shows the time
when eighty and his family was still fighting for him
to get out of prison. What made you see the
value in his story before knowing he'd be freezing in.
Speaker 23 (49:39):
The value to me was the music itself. And you know,
I think we can share a little bit. I hope
folks go watch the film on Netflix. But the whole
story is leading up to the moment where eighty eight
realizes that he's incarcerated with the person who killed his brother,
knowing that and what happened after that. Maybe that's the
(50:00):
part I won't say or well, but that there was
like so much power for healing and transformation if people
heard this story to understand that, you know, what we
were talking about in terms of like our culture's obsession
and reliance on retribution and punishment and revenge, like we
can choose something else, and our interpersonal relationships and systemically,
(50:24):
So that's what drew me to it.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
But no, we had no.
Speaker 23 (50:27):
Idea that eighty eight would have the opportunities that he
had to come home. Like Richie said, he had forty
years to life plus life, and we kind of structured
the whole narrative arc of the story around spiritual freedom
and like internal healing and freedom, and that's you know,
each music video treatment kind of builds on that healing
(50:50):
the younger self. We didn't know that we would have
the ending that we would have in the film when
we started and once those opportunities started picking up, so
we're following, you know, his family going to court. What's
condensed down in the film was two and a half
years of going to court and then commutation from the governor.
(51:11):
We had to follow it in real time because it
was so it was relevant to the story. But it
really was never a film about because I think there's
a lot of films about incarceration where it's centered on
does the person get to come home? And do we
all get to celebrate at the end if they come home.
We wanted to resist that because we really wanted it
to feel like everyone watching this had an entry point
(51:33):
into their own healing. So to make it about the
spiritual journey was more satisfying for me creatively and I
think for all of us spiritually.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
But then you know, we got we got.
Speaker 22 (51:45):
The legal reason why I got home is irrelevant because
it's not legality that's gonna get us free, for the
incarcerated and for us as a people going there.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Brother, because I like who you're going with this.
Speaker 22 (52:02):
Like, so, what what I'm saying is like, we we
participate in this system, we vote, we pay our taxes,
we do the thing, and it's not working. It's not
working for nobody. So it's it's it's working for the
people who set it up.
Speaker 12 (52:18):
That's true.
Speaker 22 (52:19):
It's working for for you know some, but it's for
for us. System is working for people who was designed
to work for right for us, it's a different story,
and so it my logic tell me it ain't gonna
be that that get me free.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
No, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I've been I've been running that thought in my mind lately,
like I think that we're just past the point of
any political solutions.
Speaker 12 (52:40):
No, you know, we need freedom, freedom now.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna ask, you know, about
to say.
Speaker 24 (52:46):
I was just gonna quickly say, it's it's if you
think about it, like, it's kind of silly to even
believe that a system that was also set up by
other flawed human beings is perfect and not just by
following the rules or voting and just like following the
system that someone else set up, that that's all that's needed.
And when our problems are so great, actually, I think
(53:09):
it calls upon us to say, okay, we can look
at how this system is an improvement from you know,
the feudal system and kings and queens and surfs, and okay,
we've improved from there, and there is much more improvement
that needs to be done if we're going to live
in integrity with each other and the earth.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
I wanted to ask, you know, it's hard not to
talk about this because you really want people to see it, right,
you want people to see the ins and outs of
this documentary. But I do want to ask about forgiveness. Right.
I was talking to Lauren earlier and she was like,
certain things I just can't forgive. Right, she was like,
I can't, Like you know, my family can and I can't.
And I think Charlamage knows me. There's certain things I
(53:47):
ain't forgiven. It's like, it's just is what it is.
It's just how did you find I would say, I
don't even want to see the courage, But how did
you break down and be able to forgive somebody, especially
the person that you know with your brother? How like
when did that happen? Was it immediately? Did it take
some time? Was it talking to me your dad who
was a pastor?
Speaker 22 (54:06):
When when I met him I had to make a decision.
It is not a superpower. It is not an impossibility
to to you know, all due respect to the things
you say you can't forgive.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
It's not I'm just not there yet. I'll get there
one day. I'm just not there yet.
Speaker 22 (54:25):
But truly, it's a matter of choosing it. It's a
matter of saying to me, what I this is how
I defined forgiveness for myself in that moment. You you
kill my brother, right, how you get that back? How
he gone? Can't gone?
Speaker 2 (54:45):
What do?
Speaker 22 (54:46):
What do you owe me now? Because that's what we're
talking about in retribution and in a retaliatory like system.
It's like, now you owe me. So this man Jay
killed my brother, Now you owe me? What do you
owe me? You owe me my brother? What's the value
of my brother's life? It ain't even yours, It ain't
even your life. For real, your life is value differently
(55:09):
than my brother. So I can't just take your life.
So now I know you can't pay me back. So
what I'm gonna do be mad my whole life. I
know you can't give it back. I know you can't.
That's first for forgiveness. I know you can't pay that debt.
So forgiveness to me is releasing within myself what I
think you owe me because you hurt me. It's just
letting go this idea that you gonna somehow give it
(55:32):
back or you're gonna somehow realize that you owe it.
It has nothing to do with you. It has everything
to do with me letting go of what it is.
I think you owe me because you did me sour right? Now,
add to that, I did somebody fiule. I did a
number of somebody's file throughout my life. And I am
(55:53):
not like, that's not my legacy that I want to leave.
It's not something that I want to be like, I
want to be known for hurting people. Nobody wants to
be known for hurting people. And when you hurt someone
as seriously as I have, and you you want to
be accountable for it, then you got to look at
(56:14):
all the parts of your life.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
But you were accountable. If that individual wasn't accountable.
Speaker 22 (56:18):
No, no, no, if he wasn't accountable, it don't make
no difference.
Speaker 12 (56:22):
Are you accountable?
Speaker 2 (56:25):
Yeah? Question, don't you got to give?
Speaker 1 (56:28):
You would have to give the person who killed your
brother the same grace you would want the people the
family that you know you killed to give you.
Speaker 22 (56:37):
Right, That's true, and and I think that was clear
for me. But I do not think that that is
a requirement for forgiveness, that you have to do an
equal harm in order to forgive somebody who was harmed
to you. Because the truth is we all commit harmed
daily in some form or another. And I think when
(56:59):
for me to forgive. I knew I wanted it in
my life. I was trying to be as accountable as
I could be growing up in prison. But I knew
I wanted forgiveness more than I wanted anything, because forgiveness
symbolized being restored back to my community. It symbolized me
(57:20):
being restored back to my value that my grandmother sees
when she looked at me.
Speaker 12 (57:24):
You know.
Speaker 22 (57:26):
But I know, the more and more I become accountable,
it's not. Forgiveness isn't something I can ask for. It's
not even I just took everything, or I took a
lot from you, and now I'm gonna ask you to
give me something else, like give me grace. That's not
something I feel willing to ask for. However, what I
can do is plant the seed in the universe. I
can plant the seed in my daily walk and in
(57:47):
the way I live, and maybe.
Speaker 12 (57:49):
It'll come back.
Speaker 22 (57:51):
Maybe it'll come to somebody who needs it in my life.
But either way, a friend of mine, Chris Wachnick, you
saw say so is see from your greatest need, what
you need the most, go give it to somebody.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Songs from the whole of the documentary net On Netflix
right now. Definitely check it out and we appreciate you guys.
For James jj Adio, Jacobs can Testa Gales and Richie
Small R Receiver wan be coming a straight fast. She
gets them. Somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 4 (58:25):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
and she'd.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
Be having the latest on the law, the Latest with
Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 1 (58:33):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
have a little bit of everything. It's the least on
the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (58:41):
Okay, so uh.
Speaker 7 (58:43):
The Reckoning, which is a new Diddy documentary, will stream
on Netflix on December second, and it will be brought
to us by fifty fifty is the executive producer of
the documentary, and then Alexandria Stapleton, who's an award winning director,
is also helping him bring this project to Netflix.
Speaker 4 (59:01):
Now.
Speaker 7 (59:02):
Today this morning, fifty cent will in Alexandria will be
on Good Morning America that goes live at eight a m.
And we'll actually be revisiting once they're actually live so
that we can kind of talk about what they're talking
about in some exclusive details just around the full situation
and looking at things from both sides. From Diddy's side,
but also fifty cent side. So we'll be back with
(59:22):
some more exclusives in the next hour. But the background
in the premise of this documentary is basically it's supposed
to be a conversation about how the industry puts celebrities
on the pedestal and when you do that, what this means.
Speaker 4 (59:35):
So Alexandria Stapleton says, this isn't.
Speaker 7 (59:38):
About the story of Sean Colmb's or the story of Cassie,
or the story of any of the victims, or the
allegations against him or the trial. Ultimately, this story is
a mirror reflecting us as a public and what we
are saying when we put our celebrities on such a
high pedestal. Now, I'm gonna be honest with y'all. A
lot of people thought that fifty Cent was kind of
like just trolling when he was talking about doing this documentary.
Speaker 2 (59:57):
I thought he was too.
Speaker 7 (59:59):
I didn't really, I know, because you just never know
what fifty cent, but for Netflix to be the platform
that he's doing it on, and when I saw it,
I was like, oh, wow, okay, only because Diddy has
come after other places that have done documentary, so he's
currently suing and this has been since February, for one
hundred million dollars NBC Peacock over a documentary that they
(01:00:19):
did where they his team alleges that they didn't vet
a lot of the claims in the documentary. I think
it's smart that fifty cent waited until everything happened to
do the documentary. But it is just a dicey situation
to be in.
Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Didn't do one too, did a couple of documentaries on
to me.
Speaker 7 (01:00:36):
Well see, but a lot of what normally when you
do these documentaries, the attorneys want you to reach out
and vet claims and allegations and get both sides. Diddy's
attorneys are claiming that, like with the NBC Peacock situation,
they said to them, hey, these things aren't true, and
they still added certain things in a documentary that then
certain lawsuits were dropped about and like whatever, so they
went forward with their lawsuit. So yeah, there's the way
(01:00:59):
that you can do it where you can for yourself legally.
But we'll see, they're supposed to have never before seen video.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
That's what I'm interested in.
Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Yeah, I heard him say that in the clipp he
posted last night from Robin Roberts one what has never
before seen video.
Speaker 7 (01:01:11):
So they actually begin rolling it out and we'll have
that in the next hour. One of the videos is actually,
you guys, remember Diddy was here in New York in
that hotel waiting to turn himself in, but they ended
up going and just getting them and locking them up.
There's video from that time where he's actually going back
and forth with his attorneys about this situation. Yeah, so
this one's going to be a really close look as
(01:01:32):
you know, we figure out what it was like as
Diddy was heading to jail.
Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
So we'll be back with more in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
It's a.
Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
Jail, it's a timeline, So I'm I'm assuming it's going
to start when the claims first started, because they do
mention Cassie. I do you know, I'm telling you what
the Netflix rundown says. So according to Netflix Rundown, they're
going to it's going to encompass everything. But they don't
want it just to be about Cassie, or just to
be about victims, or just to be about Diddy. So
it seems like it's going to be the timeline of
everything we've talked about up here. Things We've never seen interviews,
(01:02:02):
they say, with people that are close or work close
in Diddy's orbit. But the bigger conversation is how did
we get here? But we'll be back with the more
and I'll have some exclusive details.
Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
How do you?
Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
I wonder that's gonna be interesting because fifty cent is
a rapper, right and fifty cent is a rapper who's
I guess considered you consider him a gangster rapper?
Speaker 10 (01:02:19):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
And you know him and Eminem and doctor how do you?
How do you hold a mirror up to hip hop
without holding the mirror up to yourself as well?
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
There's a lot of people that have been asking that question.
Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
See, I want to see how they did this based
off what you just read us.
Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
I want to see, Yes, it would be pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Yeah, I want to see what it's about. Like what
the documentary is about. Is it's just the rise of
a hip hop person off it's based off of the
sexual assault.
Speaker 7 (01:02:41):
You know, seems like it's gonna touch on. But yeah, no,
not tomorrow. We'll see next hour. It goes live this today,
We'll see next hour now. In other news, taking a
completely different.
Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Servent documentary comes out today that interview drops today. But
the documentary actually, yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
Document Yeah, but you'll see some of the video, yeah,
December second, but you'll see some of the video.
Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
They gave it exclusively to GMA.
Speaker 7 (01:03:04):
I know, because I tried to get it for us,
but they said they couldn't because they had this situation
with GMA already.
Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
But yeah, so we'll see and talk about some stuff
in the next hour.
Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
Now.
Speaker 7 (01:03:13):
In other news, Candy Birds and Todd Tucker. So, I know,
you guys reported on their divorce and you know all
the things after eleven years now over there.
Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Say you know, we reported when you wrote she wrote
the start for she wrote the script for me.
Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
Made sure you stayed up to date.
Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
But over the weekend holiday weekend, Candy had posted a
photo of like their Thingsgiving dinner and Todd wasn't in
a photo. I wasn't surprised to not see him in
the photo because she said that it was it's been tough,
it's been a lot, it's been a long time coming.
But she came in the comments and said, before anybody
starts anything, he was here for Thanksgiving dinner, but he
didn't stay for the photo. His daughter is like the
(01:03:50):
daughter that he had prior to Candy is in the photo,
their children are in the photo or whatever, but people
made it a thing. Now, I spoke to somebody who
would know, who tells me that the handling this is
the best way that they can. He was always invited
to Thanksgiving dinner, was never not going to be invited,
and people want to make it very salacious and you
know whatever, because they've been together for so long.
Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
But it's not that.
Speaker 7 (01:04:11):
I also saw a photo circulating of like there's like
a baby that was supposed to have happened, and that's
why they one hundred percent not true from what I'm told.
Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
So yeah, when people explain themselves to social media, are
they doing this because they really want to clear the
air or they just doing this for their own engagement?
Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Because I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
That people sit around and be like, I'm going to
tell everybody why he didn't come to thank him and dinner.
Well he came, but she just explained herself and said,
why you don't know none of these people like what
is the point? I don't understand. I really don't understand
that that life.
Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
And I'm actually shocked that Candy did that.
Speaker 7 (01:04:45):
Well I'm not because Candy always you know, she does
her speak on it, I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Engagement because she really cares about what people think it.
Speaker 7 (01:04:55):
Maybe it's a little bit of both, but I know
in her speak on it, she always addresses what was
going on with her, even on her Amazon Live like
she was like, I'll talk about this when I'm ready,
but she gave us enough like yeah, Like she's a
person that kind of interacts with her people with.
Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
Just to see the picture that she supposed, yeah Thanksgiving
and then put in the captions all you all want
thing that he you know, I just I wish.
Speaker 7 (01:05:15):
Yeah, as soon as I saw the picture I was
looking for Todd, I was like, all right, well, first
get Thanksgiving without them, But I.
Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Do get why Todd, you know, reached out to you
whoever you reached out to the sources and said that
he didn't cheating, he doesn't have a baby anywy, because
I would want to clear that one that was.
Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
I think everybody's trying to figure out what happened. Yeah,
and wrapping up everybody trying to figure out what happened.
We still don't know that. I didn't get that answer
to that question. But from what I'm still, I.
Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Don't want nobody know nothing much your own life.
Speaker 4 (01:05:39):
You can know what.
Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
We gonna open up the phone lines next hour. We're
gonna ask about you know, when you're dating with somebody,
is it okay to pop the question?
Speaker 19 (01:05:51):
Do we go together? Do we go together? We're gonna
talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
That in a little bit. But we got donk of Today.
I'm next with wealking beoutfore after the hour. I'm spending
the block because I should have did this last week.
But I need you all, Santana to come to the
front of the congregation. We'd like to have a world
with him. You're doing it now, Yes, I am all right.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 4 (01:06:15):

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
We'll get to it next. It's the breakfast club in
good morning, ain't the main say the gang? Don't get
shame Maine.
Speaker 12 (01:06:25):
You are a don't.
Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
It's time for donkey. Donkey today does not discriminated. I
might not have the song of today, but I got
the donkey day.
Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
So if you ever feel I need to be a
donk mans.
Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
A breakfast club Fitch, please don't keep today today.
Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Well at sharing Donkey of Today for Monday December first,
go to Jewel Santana. Now I know in this fast
moving medio eco ecosystem. A story that's a week old
like this one can be considered ancient.
Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Okay, but damn it.
Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
If you're still leading thanks Giving left over today, then
shut it up.
Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
All right. You're concept of old is off.
Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
But the reason I want to do this story is
because we spoke about it last week during the Latest
and I kept thinking to myself, why didn't I give
Jewel Santanna Donkey of the Day for this. I was
thinking about that over the holiday break, and it could
be such a teachable moment. Okay, so let's spin the block,
all right. Jules was on the No Funny Podcast with
Kenny k P Supreme and DP saluted those brothers, and
(01:07:21):
Joel said that financial literacy holds more importance than reading.
Let's go to the No Funny Podcast to hear what
Juel's had to say.
Speaker 25 (01:07:29):
We gotta start teaching our kids, so just financial wealth
and literacy and all that that early, because by the
time they get the ninth grade, they should be just
learning how to start businesses and read how to but
they don't really need to learn know how to read.
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
I say that respectfully.
Speaker 25 (01:07:45):
I'm not saying that in a way to be literally
because you're not supposed to be literate, but you can.
Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Mask.
Speaker 25 (01:07:53):
You can still obtain the information, and you don't have
to know how to read. I believe common sense is
better than everything. I'm gonna come a sense. I'd rather
have zero book slats and common sense. Be able to
read the room, be able to read life, be able
to read people. I try to understand people understanding I'm saying, like, nowaday,
you can listen to a book contract else you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
They got big got apps you could put it in
and to read it to you, right. Crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Now, I admit I don't speak nigga like I used to,
but I still speaking very fluently, okay, And I understand
a lot of what Joel Santana's attempting to say. And
I want to tell you why I don't agree. First
of all, there shouldn't be an either or to this discussion. Right,
you should be able to read, and you should learn
financial literacy. And you know, if you're going to learn
(01:08:42):
financial literacy, you need to know how to read. Okay,
you need to know how to read to really become
financially literate. If you rely on the apps and audiobooks,
then you're always going to be dependent on someone else's translation.
But if you know how to read, then you have
direct access to the information yourself, and then you can
read it.
Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (01:09:01):
And what you can't comprehend, what you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Understand, then you can ask questions. That is the beauty
of reading. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
But you can't do any of that, all right. You
can't comprehend or understand if you don't know how to read.
Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
First, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Kids need to learn how to read full stop.
Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Adults need to know how to read full stop. Reading
matters so much, man. First of all, reading scrimp is
your brain, Okay, when you're flipping pages, the coding sentences,
visualizing ideas. It helps to build mental discipline and build
your vocabulary, and build your reasoning skills, even empathy.
Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Reading trains critical thinking, which is really a lost art nowadays. Okay.
Books expose you the complexity Okay, not just in regards
them understanding the complexity of financial literacy, but emotional intelligence, okay,
moral judgment, pattern recognition.
Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
If you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Understand anything I'm saying right now, then there's another example
of why you should read more.
Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
Financial literacy is vital there's no argument there, But there
are studies that show financial education efforts produce better outcomes
when coupled with general literacy. Okay, the budgeting, investing, financial
resilience all improve and people have a broad literacy foundation. Also, guys,
I don't know if y'all know this or not, but
(01:10:16):
math and financial literacy are not the same thing. Okay,
they overlap, but they're not the same thing. Math is
like the toolbox, right, you got your numbers and your equations,
and you know your operations and your logic. You know
adding and the subtracting, the multiplying, dividing. Math is about
how numbers work. But financial literacy is about how money works. Okay,
it's about how people use money in the real world.
(01:10:37):
So yes, you need math to understand financial literacy, especially
in regards the percentages and interest rates and basic calculations.
So I understand what y'all was trying to say in
that conversation, but I need y'all to understand how stupid
y'all look to a lot of people. Okay, nothing worse
than watching a group of black men be happy about
not knowing nothing, Okay, Right, There's nothing worse than watching
(01:10:59):
the group of black men be happy about not being
able to read. All right, Jewel's you from Halem. Okay,
you know you know who else was from Harlem. Malcolm
X was from Harlem, and Malcolm X used reading to
realize his full potential. I would say reading is the
superpower that turned Malcolm Little into Malcolm X.
Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
Malcolm X once told Alan Tanley, I knew right there
in prison that reading had changed forever.
Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
The course of my life as I see it today.
Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
The ability to read or woke inside me something long dormant,
craving to be mentally alive.
Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
That was Malcolm X.
Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
You know what my daddy used to say. He used
to say, if you want to hide something from a nigga,
put it in a book, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
All right, That right.
Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
There should make us intellectually curious enough to want to
know what the hell they hidden from us.
Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
All right, pick up a damn book, kids, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Everything that Juell's was saying you should learn can be
learned by reading. Books teach history and culture, and you know,
most importantly, something that's from the world.
Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
They teach you context, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
The world is out of context because people don't even
understand they don't even understand what context is nowadays. And
you can do audiobooks. Okay, you do audiobooks. I recommend
you do both, all right, But I'm telling you, if
you want to work out your brain, if you want to,
you know, do some exercise on your brain. Read, Okay,
And it's more importive now than ever that we read
(01:12:23):
because according to the National Literacy Institute, not only a
twenty one percent of American adults are literate, but also
one hundred and thirty million adults are now unable to
read a simple story to their children. You can't even
give your kids Cat and that hat. Okay, you don't
know how to read to your kids. Man, that's something
money can't buy. Okay, reading to your kids before bedtime,
(01:12:45):
you can't put a dollar amount on that. But the
way this world is going, you're gonna have kids in
first grade reading the daddy before he goes to.
Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
Bed, if the father is even in the house.
Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Okay, listen, I'm all for teaching on people how to
handle money, okay, off of teaching off people how to
invest and build businesses. But to think that reading is secondary,
it's like saying the foundation don't matter as long as
you got nice windows. Okay, I promise you. One of
the fastest ways the level up is reading. Okay, that's
(01:13:17):
how you learn. That'll teach you how to question things,
that'll teach you how to think. That's what literacy teaches
you how to do. Read, learn, question, think. So kids, Okay,
invest in your mind, all right, invest in your mind,
just like you want to invest in your pockets, not
because you're trying to get rich, but so you can
stay sharp and not sound illiterate on somebody's podcast. Please
(01:13:38):
give you all say Tanna the biggest he huh. Okay,
I just wanted to put that on record.
Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Okay, yes, but it's sad, it is. It's sad, but
you just it's just decide. But you know where the
frustration comes from, right, It comes from him being in
the industry or making all this money and then losing
a lot of it and being damned there broke and
saying I wish I knew generational wealth and financial literacy
(01:14:08):
to figure out what to do with that money because him,
he's probably in a situation was like, I wish I
knew what to do with the money more than anything else.
But it's also with you still reading. It's also with
the and you a rapper.
Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
The more you read, the better you get his m
Steve like you in the world economy.
Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
But that comes from I'm sure personal the fact that
he had a whole lot and had all his money
and money coming in and he didn't know what to
do with the finance, what to do with the money,
how to invest. He lost it all. So that's where
that frustration comes from, him saying, I wish I went
to class and did you know financial literacy opposed to but.
Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
The moral of the story. But it's not either or no,
it's not. It's all encompassing. It's all part of education.
It's all part of an education that you should try
to acquire on this planet while you're here.
Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
All of it all right, Well, thank you for that
donkey today Charla mine, Now can we bring Lauren back
in have a real conversation. Eight hundred five eight five
one oh five one.
Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
It's the j was instrumental, y'all, y'all?
Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Eight hundred five eight five one o five one. Now,
over the weekend she uh went out of the country
for her birthday and during this I guess vacation, her
baby put on the I guess it was like a
note on the window that said will you go out
with me? So the question is eight hundred five eight
five one oh five one? Is it necessary to ask
the question will you go out with me? First of all?
(01:15:30):
Do you have to ask whether I'll go out with you?
Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
As an uncle? I was embarrassed. And the reason I
was embarrassed or you already out the country. So you
already went out the country with the guys. So clearly
you'all have established something, right, So you post a picture
and your close friends and on the window it says,
will you be my girlfriend? I thought it was a
proposal my girlfriend. The roses and everything. I said, Oh,
(01:15:55):
I said down there, I thought you was getting proposed
to it. But see I know how to read, so
when I read it, I was like, will you be
my girlfriend?
Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
I thought it was really really cute. Why do you
hate it so bad?
Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
It was cute?
Speaker 5 (01:16:10):
And then that only sets him up for the proposal.
What the hell we gonna do for that?
Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
If he had no sixteen anymore? Like, so at that
point I have to ask you do we go out?
Or I just was like, exactly, let's discuss. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's e j Envy,
just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Now,
(01:16:37):
if you're just joining us, we're taking your calls. Eight
hundred and five eight five one oh five one. Now.
Over the weekend, our very own Lauren was on a
vacation for her birthday, and you know, she posted everything
so cool, it was so nice, everything was so dope.
Then all of a sudden we see this room with
roses and flowers, and then on the window it says,
(01:16:58):
will you go out with me?
Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
You be my girl?
Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Will you be my girl? So we're asking eight hundred
and five eight five one five one.
Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
I think it's crazy that y'all think you have to
ask whether you.
Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
Go out with somebody. Is it necessary to ask the
question when you go out with me? That is what
it is. I guess that's the question.
Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
I think it's cute, I think, and yes, to answer
your question. Before we went to break Yeah, Chris did
asked me to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
I asked you. He just straight asked me over dinner.
He ain't take me out.
Speaker 5 (01:17:23):
You know what I'm saying, don't take me to message.
Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Together? Shut up?
Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
No, but I thought it was very very cute. I
think he just wanted to court her like the right way.
I mean, because I guess it's been unspoken. Y'all were
dating for a while, it's been a thing.
Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
But I did I did make a big deal because
I'm like, it's a thing. But I felt like the
last song was in a relationship. That relationship started. I
was like nineteen twenty, so I've been asking even here,
I'm like, how do you have that conversation as an adult?
Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
Like what is it?
Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Like?
Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
I didn't remember what.
Speaker 7 (01:17:59):
It was like form, So when we just like we
linked and then we never like we've been together since,
so it kind of like just turned into a thing.
And I was like, let's have the conversation. So we
had the conversation. Then I was like, I feel like
that was supposed to be cuter, Like it was supposed
to be a thinking. He was like, that makes no sense,
Like if we together and we're doing this and we've
made it exclusive and we whatever, why does all that matter?
And then when I walk it was kind of funny
(01:18:19):
because when I walked in, I was like, you get
on my nerves because I made it such a thing
and he's like, if we've talked about it, why is
it a thing?
Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
And I'm like, I want all the bells and whistles.
Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Delivered, and.
Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
So why is it stupid?
Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
And the relationship proposal been?
Speaker 26 (01:18:34):
Man?
Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Well, no, as a very judgmental unk, I try to
mind my business and talk behind your back.
Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
And you thought i'd put you in my close friends.
I would never.
Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
But since you bring me to the radio, let's discuss. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
I'm just saying, you've been telling us that you had
a man for a while. I personally know you was
too nigga. Okay, hey, but you've been like, no, stop
saying that I got one boyfriend having Yes, I got
one boyfriend, my man, my man, my man. But to me,
if that was your man and y'all go out the
country and he finally asked you to be his girlfriend,
I'm like, oh, so you was the only person acknowledging
(01:19:08):
that you was in a relationship.
Speaker 12 (01:19:09):
I'm that point.
Speaker 7 (01:19:12):
You're taking it that way because you like a plot twist.
We all know, we know, we know how the girls
it's been a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
What do we talk about in life? We talk about
how things have to be in context. All I saw
was a baddy a picture and the picture said on
the glass, will you be my bad?
Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
I said, with you here every day? And I tell
you that's my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
I tell you we know this, li, we know this.
Speaker 26 (01:19:33):
So when I think I'm a delusional girl, I'm just
going off what I saw. If you think when you
saw what you think, I thought it was funny.
Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
I laughed, what did you You didn't think, like, damn,
he just asked her to be good. But this is
what but now when you were.
Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
But we laughed too.
Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Because it's like I was like, damn, they just asking.
They just get to this now all the country. When
you break it down, it's cute. It's the f had
a conversation. It was something that was bubbling in the relationship.
And he was like, I'm just gonna ask officially. So
I didn't know the back that was certified. You didn't
ask either, But this what you don't understand. You're posting
this to the world.
Speaker 4 (01:20:13):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
The whole world is like, damn. They out the country
and he just after you ye talking at a man,
you know what?
Speaker 21 (01:20:22):
You know?
Speaker 7 (01:20:22):
People were asking me. Everybody was like, so did you
say yes? You didn't you left us with a cliffhanger,
and I was like, I know that.
Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Why did you on that shipper? Pol, That's what the
chat is asking. Let's go on.
Speaker 7 (01:20:34):
That was the video just missed. She got all the
other videos I mentioned.
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
As soon as you start on that scripport. He was like,
God damn it, I spoke too soon. My girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (01:20:47):
Eddie, this Christian Miami, Dower County.
Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
To do more specific talk to your thoughts.
Speaker 10 (01:20:54):
Foolish man. I like three girlfriends. I don't know, I
feel like high school, especially if you're taking it out.
Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
Of town, not the town, the country.
Speaker 10 (01:21:04):
That's that's that's my point. And on top of it,
I feel like, you know, they really just like it
more so just for the post more than anything. They
want to make that IG post. You know, want to
feel special, you know, go frog, I got three girlfriends.
I never actually want to be my girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
By the way, if you're posting that on the GRAM,
you are childish year you need to nobody care about
your little goal together and thirty plus.
Speaker 7 (01:21:28):
I wanted to do it for the Gram. There was
so much more I could have posted it between us, because.
Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Yes, you know what I'm saying. If your proposed to it.
Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
Yeah, my proposal will be a thing.
Speaker 7 (01:21:38):
It'll be a whole unveiling, it'll be exclusive somewhere potentially
like Essence Vogue, whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:21:42):
We'll figure it out. But it was cute and I
wanted to share it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
I just think it's crazy to god the country with
somebody that's already been sweating on you.
Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
And have them ask you just has been my man?
Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with that?
Speaker 7 (01:21:57):
Sim actually was with me when we first started having
a conversation, because first of all.
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Stop taking invidy some single women. No, no, no.
Speaker 7 (01:22:02):
No, no no. She actually told me I was doing
a bit too much. Was like, Sim was like, look,
this man has already been dedicated to you. Y'all y'all
talked about what you need to talk about? Your being
the bells and whistles.
Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
Why does that?
Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
I just want to And I was that you didn't
have that young love? So you want you want that love?
Speaker 21 (01:22:19):

a relationship. She was nineteen if I was young, so
and so now you're an adult, you mean like a
real thing, yeah, relationship as an adult? Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
And you wanted to be formally asked, can you formally
ask me everything?
Speaker 7 (01:22:35):
I also wanted just even when we had the conversation,
I was like, I just want to know blurnt lines

conversation because I was confused, that was a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
It was a long time before that. Just tell this
vacation you finally got clarity. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
We're making this dollar, making this a thing. That confusion
was like seven months ago.
Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
So you've been confused for seven months?
Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
No, stupid?
Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
When did you get clarity?
Speaker 4 (01:23:13):

Wanted to make a way for the question that my nerves.
I wanted to make it official. Basically, what you.
Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Don't you had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
I had to have a backup playing. And I remember
you saying something like that. A long time.
Speaker 26 (01:24:25):
You was like what it was step something. I remember

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
I remember you said, whoever stepped up?
Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
I remember you said you had your own episode of
Love Island going on low island yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Oh god, hey, y'all, this.
Speaker 16 (01:25:08):

it's nothing wrong with her boyfriend asking her and the
cutest way.
Speaker 22 (01:25:22):
To be his girlfriend.
Speaker 27 (01:25:24):
And in this climate of dating, we actually need to
establish if we're gonna be together, if for a boyfriend
or girlfriend, because if not, at least room for error,
because if they just acting like they together and they not,
that's when people starty, you know, acting funny, like having
other people on the side, and then it's like, I mean,
we just say that we were together, So what's wrong
with him establishing up there together.
Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
I'm gonna let you know on gives a hater. I'm
a big hater, Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
You know what I'm saying because I want to make
sure that my people are being represented properly at all times.
Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
She's been out here claiming this man.
Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
For a whole damn near year and he's just getting
around the asking her to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 27 (01:25:59):
I mean, they could, y'all just don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:26:01):
And that's exactly what I just told her. That that
is I said, we had a conversation a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
The confuter was just told that you would have won.
Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
That was confused and you just told that you was
waiting on one of these men to properly step up.
Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Everson's that's what that monkey bar. You hold on the
one and wait for the other one and then.
Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
You can you y'all, I ain't never been.
Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Yeah, hot know what to what do you want? Ya single?

This is the star.
Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Could you stop? What's the story?
Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
The moral of the story is there's nothing wrong with clarity. Period.
Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
There you go at all.
Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
I want to be clear about everything in my life
in this season.
Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
I get it.
Speaker 7 (01:27:11):
I don't care if you got it. I don't care
if you got asked me or tell me three, four
or five thousand times. If you want to tell me
and show your love for me, keep doing it. I
love that, love to see it, love to be a
part of it. I had a great birthday and I
got great gifts and I'm going to Ghana. But my man,
it was my birthday gift for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 4 (01:27:28):

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Okay, so maybe he'll propose.
Speaker 4 (01:27:33):

If you proposed, I would say yes, but yes, but
he knows I want my propose.
Speaker 4 (01:27:39):
I want my grandmother and everybody to be there. My
Grandmamy is flying to Ghana.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Like what he got twice?
Speaker 26 (01:27:54):
I say something respectfully, No, no, no, why would you want.
Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
To propose to somebody in Delaware? Like you.
Speaker 26 (01:28:01):
Know what I'm saying that on New York you can
get in the car, go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
My grandmother is not getting on a plane or boat.
Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
Okay, but you goddamn but that's what Ilaware.
Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
That is a little crazy. You don't know your knee
in the middle of.
Speaker 5 (01:28:13):
DELI can't even get down.
Speaker 4 (01:28:17):
Don get down tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (01:28:18):
I appreciate the jokes about Baltimore, but we have a
bigger sit.
Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
You can sit Delaware inside of the hood.
Speaker 7 (01:28:25):
But we got good stuff. We got water stuff to
y'all got water front Ball Harbor. We got the waterfront, okay,
but the other things.
Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
What's the thing that we used to book when you
were kid, like the veterans in like the end, the
little end thing where you could run them out. You
can do that to be dope. Okay, I didn't know
you had the waterfront. So you got waterfront.
Speaker 4 (01:28:42):
Yeah, that's a nice restaurant.
Speaker 7 (01:28:44):
Saying beaches, we do. There's actually a gate beach. I
bet you know, I'm just being in course, you know
the beaches. That is not homophobic, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
All right, we got the ladies, Laurence.
Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
We do got the latest, So we are going to
go back fifty cent so he is telling all about
his new documentary. He sat down with Good Morning America
and Robin Roberts. We're gonna get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
Well, let's get to it now. Lauren be coming with
straight fast. She gets somebody that knows somebody detail.
Speaker 4 (01:29:17):
I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
She'd be having the Latest on the Latest with Laura
la Rosa.
Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
So it's the Latest on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 7 (01:29:33):
All right, So fifty cent and Alexandria, who is working
with him on this documentary, sat down with Robert Roberts
and Good Morning America to talk about Sean Combs The Reckoning,
which is a new documentary that he is bringing to
Netflix about Diddy and everything that has been happening over
this last year or so. And it airs tonight at midnight,
so December second, it's live on Netflix. It's a four
part series. Now they talk about a lot of things.
(01:29:56):
So first you get to see some of the footage
that was able to obtain that was never before seen,
and it's these are the days leading up until when
Diddy was arrested. Let's take a listen to day's leady
up to arrest.
Speaker 3 (01:30:10):
Never before seen footage of Sean Diddy Combs in the
days leading up to his arrest in New York last September.
Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
You want to put stuff on my fan black game.
Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
The exclusive video obtained by Netflix shows Combs debating with
his lawyers about strategy.
Speaker 22 (01:30:25):
Listen to me, I'm gonna get off the phone right now,
and i am going to let you professionals look at.
Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
The situation and come back to me with a solution.
No matter what nobody said.
Speaker 12 (01:30:37):
Let's just here and there, y'all are not working together
the right way.
Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
We're losing.
Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Was there anything that surprised you when you were watching it?
Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Was surprised? And did he actually filmed it?
Speaker 13 (01:30:45):
It was very interesting to watch a man who's known
for his brand presence, you know, he has a really
amazing knack for marketing and all of that, and how
he was sort of taking that into account and how
he was coming off to the public.
Speaker 24 (01:31:00):
Geez.
Speaker 7 (01:31:01):
Yeah, so, uh, that's all we get to see now,
But in the actual documentary you get to go more
into those days with him. Now here is the crazy
part about all this?
Speaker 4 (01:31:08):
So crazy? If he filmed that, yeah, we hear it.
Speaker 7 (01:31:12):
So Diddy had a video person and a photographer that
was always with him these couple of days. That video
person sent someone and didn't come on his own. Diddy
has a legal agreement. From what I'm being told by
his team, he had a legal agreement with that videographer photographer.
They are not for sure if it covers this person
that would have sold or whatever. However, fifty centertained this footage.
(01:31:36):
There was also a disagreement between Diddy and this person
who shot this footage. This guy was never paid and
they didn't find that out. His attorneys into this documentary dropped,
so all of that stuff edited, unedited that was shot
in that time. They are I mean, if they bought
it and they owned it the right way, and Diddy's
team is still checking that.
Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
Out, it's there to be used.
Speaker 7 (01:31:55):
So we are about to see some things that I'm
sure if he was in control of we might not
have seen.
Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
Now.
Speaker 7 (01:32:00):
They also get into the fact that people are saying
fifty Cent is just trying to take Diddy or add
on to what Diddy is going through because it's personal.
Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
How do you respond to people who say that? But
it's more about the stain that you have for Sean
Combs than it is for giving the victims a platform.
Speaker 21 (01:32:16):
What they consider a pre existent view right for twenty
years is me being uncomfortable with him suggesting that he
takes me shopping or I looked at it like he
was like it was like a tester, like maybe you'll
come play with me type and stop.
Speaker 13 (01:32:30):
Personally, I think it's important to also let people know
that the show is not completely the perspectives of people
that did not like Seawan. We weren't trying to just
get the highlights, the salacious details. You know that the
real goal was to storytell. And if you not, everyone
needed to have an allegation to be a part of
this project.
Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
Was that the whole context, I need to hear the
whole crazy.
Speaker 7 (01:32:55):
But y'all know fifty cent is also you know he's
being a little humorous at the same time, we.
Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Don't know that.
Speaker 1 (01:33:01):
And then before all we know, did he really made
him feel uncomfortable? When did he said he wanted to
take him shoping? And by way, I've been talking about
that for you. Did he was up here? Did he
was like you wanted to take fifty shopping?
Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
Fifty stupid to it. That's one of the people you
don't play with. If you've got problems with him, you
got problems with him for life. Now question who else
is on the documentary?
Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
So listen. They have jurors that are part of it.
Speaker 7 (01:33:21):
Aubry O Day who was a former member of Dannity
Kane and making the band, Kirk Burroughs, who was co
founder of bad Boy.
Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
They have a guy who rubbed the semen on his nipples.
Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
I don't know that means that that sports name.
Speaker 7 (01:33:34):
Uh, it wasn't that wasn't punish, No, it was a
different one. U D one, Eric Sermon, Roxanne Johnsonermond rapper
and former member of E P M D. Roxanne Johnson
who was ex wife of bad Boy artist Craig mac
Mark Curry, who's a former bad Boy artist Kaleina Harper,
(01:33:56):
which I think is also insane because you guys know
she's a former member of the Dirty Money and this
is the So it was her and it was Dawn. Remember,
people were alleging that Diddy like might have paid her
off and something because allegedly because he was there was
contact between him and her, and she was saying that
what Dawn was saying wasn't true. Brooklyn Bapps, who was
on making the band, Clayton Howard, Capricorn Clark, I'm like,
(01:34:21):
how Capricorn Clark, who was a former assistant and create
a director as bad Boy, She had.
Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
Some good testimony.
Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
That was the one that was in the call when yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:34:32):
And I'm like, yo, how how like? Yeah, how did
he get her in this? I don't know, Yeah, there's
about to be.
Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
In the jurors.
Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
Why do you think she wouldn't do a doc? She
testified against them.
Speaker 4 (01:34:43):
I mean, I don't know, but the jurors, I think, and.
Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
I think she wants to write a book.
Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
Yeah, wouldn't I just thought maybe she. I don't know.
Speaker 12 (01:34:54):
It is.
Speaker 7 (01:34:55):
I cannot believe the jurors too, even like the people
who like they talked to the juri, Yeah, they talk.
Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
To It just has jurors with it asks.
Speaker 7 (01:35:03):
I don't know, like whatever, what we get to watch
tomorrow tonight at midnight?
Speaker 12 (01:35:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
Watch now, I'm gonna say up for it too.
Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
I'm saying watching.
Speaker 7 (01:35:15):
So a lot of people have been talking about, you know,
whether this turns another bad light onto hip hop and
hip hop being attacked and like why fifty cent wants
to be the person that adds into this.
Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
Let's sake, let's than fifty talk about that.
Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
Do you think that hip hop culture was on trial
as much as Sean Colmes was.
Speaker 21 (01:35:30):
No, Look, if I didn't say anything, you would have
interpreted as hip hop is fine with his behaviors because
no one else being vocal. So you would look at
it and just say because that that mind your business,
or let me not say nothing about nothing or those
things that it would allow the entire culture to register
us if they're for that behavior.
Speaker 3 (01:35:50):
If Shawn Combs watches this, what do you think he's
gonna feel.
Speaker 12 (01:35:54):
Like, Wow, this is amazing.
Speaker 21 (01:35:55):
I think he's gonna say this is the best documentary
I've seen in a long time, because you'll see people
saying that he might feel a different way about pieces
and bets of it, but you know it's true. I
think he'll see the truth in that.
Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
Yo, this has nothing to do with hip hop, and
I hate when they do that, Like when Harvey Weinstein
is on trial, nobody says.
Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
What was this Hollywood on trial?
Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
When when when Abercambie and fitched guys on trial, nobody says, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
The clothing industry on trial. Like, No, it has nothing
to do with hip hop. This was one man's choices.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
This is about Diddy and nothing else. Ain't nothing to
do with no damn it. But I hate when they
do that.
Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
I'm sure you're gonna see a bunch of lawsuits because
if that guy worked for Diddy, he so let footage
to somebody else. He had to be on the contract,
right what happened? You stipulations? Because there's no way Diddy's
gonna have people around him that he does not own
that footage. I can't see like, I can't see that.
Speaker 4 (01:36:39):
That was the first question I asked, you made a mistake?
Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Yeah, I mean like yeah, and then how the hell
are you gonna let him just leave with the footage,
so that that footage come with me? That has the
call come with me.
Speaker 7 (01:36:48):
So I don't have any confirmations of any legal action
as of yet, but the statement that I received from
Diddy's team says that we have confirmed that Netflix used
footage that was never authorized for release, including private moments.
Speaker 1 (01:36:59):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (01:36:59):
The footage was created for an entirely different purpose under
an agreement that was never completed. So for background information,
what I was told was that Diddy's team says that
there was supposed to have been a conversation between Netflix
and Diddy, and he was recording footage Diddy to do
his own documentary, but once he was told he was
not going to have full creative control, he backed out
of the situation with Netflix, and they believe that this
(01:37:20):
is some of the footage that was being used for that.
But from what I was told, there's a contract with
the original photographer videographer, but they don't know if it
covers this guy yet, So they're still trying to sort
that out to see if there's any legal steps that
they can take.
Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
And then I wonder if legal steps are taken, do
they go after the videographer because he's the one that
allegedly sold it, right, so they would have to go
after him because they made the deal with him. Correct
may already coming out, Yes, coming out.
Speaker 4 (01:37:46):
You're gonna see it, You're gonna watch it.
Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Yeah, everybody gonna watch it tomorrow, they gonna record it.
And plus it's Netflix. Right, Netflix ain't even gonna put
that out unless they've already crossed all egross.
Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
You said down to the cross the cross you always
try to what I did. I'm no legal action can
happen from it though, right, that's it. Well, they I.
Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
Don't know because they don't know yet what were the
terms and not the terms of all that.
Speaker 4 (01:38:26):
But they did tell me that they're they're legal.
Speaker 7 (01:38:28):
Their legal team is formally notifying Netflix of the fact
that they feel like that this was unauthorized.
Speaker 4 (01:38:32):
You still like, you know all the things that they just.
Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
Said, like said too late.
Speaker 7 (01:38:37):
Putting this unleft they but I know he got this
appeal coming up, So I don't know character wise how
this might help because of judge and anybody like that
was my point. Yeah, and I asked that and they said, listen,
not legally, but judges are human and maybe they get
some emotional spirit out of this and render decision based
on some of that.
Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
Which and he just need to go pills and potatoes.
Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
Okay, he's how many times like like just due the time, like.
Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
The chapel, Sir, he does books, not food, oh or whatever.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
