time for Stella My goodness. All right, we got more coming up next with a breakfast club, the breakfast Club. Everybody in cj Envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne the guy, we are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building with guests, that's right. We got Jim Jones yea. And on the sheet that said celebrity jeweler Alex time. That's what it says on the sheet. We got Freaky Zekie here as well. So Jim, So Jim, you've been in the news a lot recently. Let's let's start with

the first of all. El Copple, El copol Copple. You got me nervous, damn bad. He thought I was going somewhere. I was going nervous up here. The album is out. The album is is one of the dopest albums I've heard. Oh year long, Thank you, thank you very much. I appreciate that that sounds very dope coming for you, my brother. Now, when I was talking to you, were saying that, you know, the album kind of surprised you because so many people were hitting you like, yo, this is probably the best

album I heard in years. Yes, I've been getting numerous amounts of calls from both people that I'm cool with it and people that I wouldn't think would call me to congratulate me on anything, and it kind of took me for a surprise. But for the most part, it's been like real substantial people from the industry, like even people that run labels and stuff like that, like the presidents and stuff. So it's just been like surprising of how many people really been giving me my kudos for

this album and things like that. That hasn't been a a record exact called me for a big major deal yet though, but they tell me I'll have one of the best albums they heard in a while. So hopefully that are turned into one of them calling me to do some business with me and we could do an even dope album coming up money because most people don't want everybody's talking about, oh, I don't need a major label deal and I'm independent and you're also an executive.

It's tricky. I mean at some point you, at some point when you're dealing with this industry, you should get involved with a major label. Was a lot of different reasons for it doesn't mean that they take in your identity, your creativity, taking your independence from you. That all depends on how you set up your deal. But I mean, for an independent standpoint, from these young artists, they kind

of found a loophole for making money. So once they found that loophole, which was called streams, and they've been able to make their own money, they kind of got to their head because they really don't need a label

if you think of it like that. But if you have the eight picks of your game doing independent numbers, and then you can go to a label and they can give you sixty to ten million dollars and you can structure your deal where they're just a partner and they don't own they don't own you outright, and you could do it like it's definitely worth it. I'm going to get the ten million dollar bag one hundred percent. Now. Question we reported this is this two or falce. You

guys are going back on love and hip hop? Um, Chrissy is going back on Love and Hip Hop. Shout the Chris baby girl on. That's amazing that she will be on Love and Hip Hop. I told him I'll jump on a couple of episodes. That's like where it all started. That, yes, it's very interesting. But you know, she she did great business with him owner. They came to a hell of an agreement, which it kind of made me smile. How she did her business and it was kind of dope. I had nothing to do with it.

I made sure I stayed out of it because I'm more emotionally tied to it than anything else. And you know, she was able to separate the two the motion in the business and she got a dope as deal done. So you know, look forward to her on a Love and Hip hop. You have a lot of businesses. You have, of course, part older of saucy shows man Alex todd Up, we're just here. He's here now. Alex is a is a very dope dude in this industry. You know he

started with Drury. But to be involved in this uh We've business was one of the best things that could have happened to me and in my career right now, like I mean, the wee game is the whole next level of what's going on when it comes to making money. It should Tommy of real estate, like, it's it's no going back. It's just green on green, Green make screen, Green make screen. Yes, you pought owner of a football team. You do a lot of stuff out there that that

brings it a lot of money. So when we reported a story, we see the story that popped out that said they foreclosed on Jim Jones's home. Yes, so I said, if if they foreclosed on the home, there's a reason for it. I said it property isn't worth them keeping it. That's what I said. I was like, well, it might be that they owe more than what the house is worth. So you just let it. Get four clothes done. Because we've seen that happen. But you explain to us, Explain

to you what like what happened with that story. It's a property, man, We got a few properties. I mean what, I'm homeless now I'm living. I'm living in the shelter for rich people. It's called a mini mansion. You're I'm cool anything, I'm homeless and I'm broke. That's what the people need to know. That's what they need to know you heard. That's what they need do, not his life. Man. You know, you make you make consciant decisions when it

comes to doing certain things, and I guess said. The decision that I made with that was I didn't really it wasn't really worth it at the end of the day, and it's not really a big deal. But you're dealing with the media. They blow everything up tenfold. Nobody has common sense anymore like that. They make it seem like they said, oh, Jim Jones and his family were in the shelter, they looking bad. And I hit that part. That's what that's what the media paces to be. They

blow everything out of him. You say one little thing in the media and then it goes out of control. But now it's cool. I love it, man, Shout out the Jersey. I'm a new Jersey and you know you're having fun out that, all right? We got more coming up next with a breakfast club. Rudolf the red nose out of every side, you know, and if you ever saw him, you wouldn't say cool. Breakfast club is also,

what's your relationship with fifty? Said? Somebody asked me the other day, was like, Yo, what's so with fifty times, I'm like they just playing what's what you? And fifty one jo a little too much? This is real or not? I wish I could be in a position to really say what I want to say, but unfortunately my life has been hectic and it's you know what I mean. But where I'm from, I do know people that will

be called real is a stand up man. You don't try to tarnish other people's name by doing bullshitantic there's consequences and repercussions for certain things like that, you know what I mean, Like from where I'm from, So I'll leave it at that. But for the most part, everybody know my life is real. I've been doing this but way too long for anybody to play with me and like that. But you know, some people think life is

a game, so we leave it like that. You know, when you slop box, sometimes it gets out of hand, right. It starts off with slop boxing, but then a lot of the times it turns into a real fight. That's how it is. You know what I'm saying. It could playful, but I do want to say I missed my brother. Mel Murder shouts to Mel Murder, keep your head on

then I love you to death. Now, it seems like every time Jim tries to get himself out and you try to put on a shirt and tie and do the right the thing could be positive, they try to pull you back. I mean, this happens with natural progression you do, You're never gonna get a clear shot at what you want to do. If you don't go through obstacles and and hop over fences and brick walls and things like that, you're never gonna get to where you gotta go. You gotta expect that they threw stones at

Jesus when he was already on a cross show. Maybe with six NINEE. It seemed like you never were feeling six nine from the door. I have no comment on none of that. Now, has the police messed with you because of that and what he said? Anything like that? I have a new comment on none of that. So are you're good and clear? I have no comment on none of that. It might be an ongoing situations. Good, that's all. So what's what's next for Jim Joe? I'm

actually about to drop a new project um already. Yeah, I don't think people feeling me feeling me enough, So I called Ghazzi last week. Gazzi he owns an empire. Now I told him he need to do a fourth call of Blitz. I don't think people feeling my energy enough, so they got the term you gotta keep their foot, keep your foot on their neck. And that's what I'm

trying to do to keep applying pressure. So I'm about to lock in the studio for like thirty days and do a strong term Records, UM, trying to release it the first or second week of December. UM. If I don't get everything together the way I wanted, I definitely would put out a record in a video and things like that. But I got some sizzle. I'm ready. I've been I've been likely in the booth, spawn with myself and things like that, and you know, when it comes

to making music for me, it's like homework. And I always hated homework, but you know, you get the best results when you sat down and did the homework and went to school and study for the test and things like that. So that's where I'm at with right now. I'm ready to go back in and have some fun on Besides that, it's the music in the weed right now. That's what I've been putting all my energy into and both of them been paying off more than ever, you

know what I mean. And I'm just happy to be here. You know, I'm happy to still be in this game. Twenty some are years later. I've probably seen everybody come and go. It just feels good to be here. Get respected by your piers, young boys. They always showed me love, you know, trying to be humble as I get as I get older, I was a little bit wild when I was coming up. As you can see some of them, things still come back to haunt me. So you know, I say my prayers every night like everybody else. But

for the most part, I'm happy. My family's happy. Nobody wants from them, and everybody's comfortable. You know, my son is happy, my lady's happy, my mom's just happy. Just got a new dog. He's happy. American Bullies like a pit bull, but they call him American Bullies. A blue nose that blue eyes, so you know it's the regular. I actually haven't got to speak to Juells. I just I just spoke to tw him yesterday, Like, come on, man, he's been gone and I haven't spoke to him yet.

And things like that. But Zeke has actually seen him in there. He's super good. He got like the Arab bid right now, you know what I'm saying. But he alright, he's focused on what you gotta do. He say, he got his third eye wide open and he ready to shake when you get home. You know what I mean, dip shack. You know again. I think of a story that he told me, A long time story. I would never forget. What story you gotta tell it? Now, what story? What story? Tell it? It doesn't matter. Let's go. He

tell me he has sex with the girls under arm. Yes, I knew she was gonna say that. I knew she was gonna drug. You couldn't find what was it? A sexy? I know she was a little she was just was a little chunky under the arm with a little flap that came down, you know what I mean. So this is back before we all have listen. He was all in the hotel room chilling and she was linked to

the side. I was twisted, and he was like, you got a sexy all pit like I I didn't know, And I swear to him off, I put a condom one. You know, you put a condom on for the armpit and it felt good. Though you gotta understand the well, it's Jim Jones is Alex Todd is the Breakfast Club the Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the Breakfast Club, Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, were talking the craziest thing that happened

to you in the uber? Now, this story came from Tiffany Hattish that she pooped it uber. She shoted in her uber before. Yeah she has. Now, I was shot in the vehicle, by the way, done it once in my life. Na people would cause it to happen. It's okay, though I haven't done in the uber. But we're asking Jeans eight hundred five eight five one o five one, what's the craziest thing that happened to you in the uber?

You have any crazy stories? Nothing too crazy? I have one time I was in the uber and the girl with me kept throwing up outside that having an uber pull over so she could throw up, throw up, throw up. That wasn't very good. Um. And I've had situations where, you know, my friends go off on the uber drivers and go crazy on them, and I'd be like, chill out.

My rating. I haven't had anything crazy other than you know, if you ever go to like Miami Beach or going to any place where there's a beach, sometimes the seats to be wet when people just got out of the beach. You just got out of the parents. Actually, and she sat in some yurin one time. Yeah, and she had on leggings so it was terrible, so you know, it got on her legs. This is Charlemagne and God talking. I don't have any crazy Uber stories. I actually have

a four point six Uber. I got a four point the four point seven congratulations. But I have a brother who has some terrible Uber stories and Wax he's been banned from Uber twice. He and he band, he got Nila band fluted DJ nilas rom Are. It's not my fault, though, why why not? Because these guys trying to make me get out of the car not happening. Well, Wax, I was just telling you, you know, it'll be one hundred and four degrees outside. You have on timberlands and gloves

in your back pocket. Definitely, I'm always ready. How many Uber drivers beating up six from last? Why would beat beat that cellf up didn't beat this over they hit themselves. No, listen, when you get out the car and try to take me out the car and beat you up, tell him about the time the guy kick you out the car and throw your suitcase out there. I don't even know see on my street and where I live that it was like real dark. So I guess he didn't want

to go up in that street with me. If Wax is six foot six foot six, you beat him up. Wax is six foot six, muscular like he's from the Wakanda movie Where's Timberlands? And you can't you can't do that. I'm like a nice guy at though. Shoot. So he asked you to get out, You got out, and then he drove up a little back. Yeah, I didn't even close my door all the way to go off, went down the street through my seat, takes out of the car and bounce a call. I'm like, yo, what is this?

I'm always I'm sorry, good guy, so somebody, But every time something happened, I always think of Charlotte Maine playing around anyway, So I'll kind of give guys a little leeway. Sways on you that the Uber driver was in cahoots with Charlotte anytime, anytime something happened, I said, you know what, Charlottegne got sid and do with this? What kind of logic is? That's why I don't always just punch people in the face. No more. Come like Charlotmagne put you

up to this? Right? And what you mean was wrong with? How do I know these? So? He beat up six Uber drivers in the past two years? Your exactly? So you feel bad that you banned from Uber? No, I use anybody else to you got n I got right back on, she got back on. You got somebody. I think that anybody who beats up t Uber drivers in the past two years deserves to be man from That's correct, all other cost services. Let's go to the full life. I might have to hide your face before they get

banned from left. Hey, good morning. What's the craziest thing that happened in the Uber? Wow? I'm an Uber driver here in Cleveland. Because I'm calling out from Cleveland. I got a pair of siblings that politely asked me to join them as they pulled in my back feet to female back seat. No, a brother and a sister. Can you guess their rap? Caucasian? Wow? Did you join them? The brother and sister was having sex in the back seat.

It was a brother and a sister, and I drove them to like it was like thirty minutes away to like the suburban area, and like while we was approaching, they were getting more comfortable and they're like, you want to come? You know, I'm like, how do you know? They were brother and sister for real? Though, Well that's what they told me. Alabama hubo popping, that's Cleveland. It was Cleveland. Yeah, she's a Cleveland. It's the land. I didn't know they do that in Cleveland. Down southing one,

what's going on? What's going on? Then you Uber driver one? Yeah, yeah, I did it for a minute. Man, I did it for a little bit a couple of months ago. It was like in between jobs, and I started trying to what's the craziest thing to happen in the uber? Man? Listen, this was my first night, man, my first night uber. And so I'm out in downtown, you know, getting kicked up for whatever. I'm learning how to do it. So I get this big ride to go out of you know,

my way out of down. It was already ate. So I'm like, right, I had him back I'm like, man, but I'll make it a downtown. It's gonna be way too long, but I get a pin right to get off the highway to this little club. You know, I'm looking for the people that order, and I'm looking for the guy there. So this a couple of like trumps out. I don't know if they just letter whatever. So the dude was like trunks, they trunk. He's like, man, if you just take me down the street, I thought you

take your cash. I'm like, man, listen to you. I'm like, how far is He's like a mile? I'm like, ill, right, cool, they didn't come on. He's like, it's me and my girl. Whatever. So they jump in the car. He jumps in the in the passage that Sh'S in the back. Well before I put off, she jumped, so she jumped in the front with him. So you know, he pushed the seat all the way back and I'm like, he's like, you don't mind where I'm like, man, listen to lay. I

just didn't. He simply buck. I'm cool, it's my first night. I'm like, I ain't swift. So we pulled. I'm like, I pulled off the start of driving. Man. They start getting it on, and the Uber man they start getting it on, like right next to me, so I'm seeing driving. I don't keep peeking over like he's looking at me like you don'na mind. Right, I'm like, you know, I mean, he rubbing on it. She's looking at me like you're gonna mind the uber. The Uber guy watches. I'm like

truckt man, I don't want to watch on me. I'm bad. You should you should have told him get through what you need to be. You should have told him if you don't make her orgasm, I'm gonna give you a star reading man. I was sitting there bugging. I'm driving heavy, you know what I mean. They both loloated on the side and I'm like, man and travel, I'm licking. And the thing was, I was like, nobody's gonna believe this start. You're gonna think I made it up. Man, I had

to record the man. I couldn't believe me, even I'm like, god, evidence, I got evidence proved. It was my first my food. When I swore I can't make the story up, I got one hundred and fifty dollars pit for mine. I couldn't believe it. I feel like that's illegal, but you can send the breakfast club am at gmail dot com. Yeah, someone who works at us actually had their over rating lower because they called the uber for someone and that person ended up having a sexual incident in the uber.

And I don't want to call their name out. Yeah, they actually um uh in the uber. Really Yeah, I'm a producer, Dan, I'm not saying standing next to me though, then come here, put your lips on the my what happening? You got topped off in the uber? No? I got the ouber for my buddy, and I woke up the next morning and I was wondering why there was all these complaints to my uber. Huh? And I had like a two point five rating after this, And the driver said that my buddy got from in the backseat and

got it everywhere everywhere. Wow, you know what, everywhere everywhere? You know, who needs to get a one star rating in that situation? The girl why she didn't swallow? You know what? Kind of what kind of what the hell you're going on? Keep swallow? You know what? Keep it like. We have more coming up next. It's the Breakfast Club DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are the breakfast club. We got uh twenty twenty president who candidate

in the building. Very well spoken, very well spoken, as we've heard your book is. Yeah, good morning everybody. It's really good to be back. I didn't see the first time you came in. I was actually on vacation. I know you took off, man, I came up and you went, so, you know, I'll let you slide in. I appreciate that, appreciate you've been here. This morning. We saw man Bloomberg apologize to you for calling you well spoken? Well, why is that ands thing for white people who may not know?

It's almost as if, and we heard this in the Obama's first campaign, where he was called cleaning articulate. It's almost like many white folks are sort of surprised that an African American man can can speak well. And you don't hear it. You don't see this kind of surprise, Oh he's well spoken. They don't see that say that about white men. But it's a trope that we've heard for generations about African Americans. And I mean, I love history.

Read about everybody from Frederick Douglas to book or T. Washington talking about people surprised that they that they're so smart or so well spoken. So it's insulting. And you know, you can't be running for the highest office in the land making mistakes, is all right, I have no we

all do. We've all said things we regret, but to run for the nomination of the Democratic Party, and if you're going to be doing things that are insulting, dragging up actually painful kind of words like that, you're not gonna be able to win the presidency. It's as simple as that, because it is you cannot win the presidency if you cannot energize and activate the black community and folk. Don't understand that Hillary Clinton, and this, by the way,

she wasn't it wasn't her. She was dealing with voter suppression. She was dealing with the Russians literally targeting African American voters. But all that, but the black turnout that was down from twelve to sixteen, eight hundred thousand to a million votes in those three states that we lost by seventy seven thousand votes combined Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania seventy seven thousand vote differentials. If we had won those three states,

it would be President President Clinton right now. There was a voter diminution of black voters dramatically. In fact, that Milwaukee alone, the activists there told me about seventy thousand less blacks voted than had voted the four years before. So this election is critical. The African American vote is essential, and you add to that, then I'm not in this just to win the presidency. I want to take back. I want to send Mitch McConnell for the back bench.

And if you think about the Senate seats that are up that we have to win North Carolina's Senate seat, South Carolina Senate seats. There are actually two Senate seats in Georgia right now, not to mention Arizona. These are states where the black and brown vote is and so imagine a Democratic nominee. Uh saying things are so insulting to the black community, dragging this up. It's just it's

it's it's not gonna work. Well, what if you are well spoken, I should how should white preson described that? If well? As you are well spoken? So, I mean, you know, I appreciate that, but you know, I don't mind folks pointing out a lot of facts about me that that are have distinguished me in my career, and uh, to say that I'm well spoken is not the thing that you hear, you know, necessarily folks saying about other candidates, Really are they what are they bringing up about the

other white candidates when when it's being talked about. So look, it was said, it was done. Uh you know, call it a learning moment. But I got work to do, so I'm not I'm not spending too much time. You did you did endorse me at Bloomberg? I did? Oh absolutely, he was the architect of stopping frisk he was, And and uh, why would you endorse someone with that type policy,

that's that's a racist pilot. Yeah, look, we we You're seeing a lot of black mayors right now endorsing Mayor Bloomberg because you know, when I was coming up, when I first got elected and Newark was in a crisis, it was him and a few other mayors around the country that came forward and gave me really practical support. He was somebody that said, my whole administration is open to you, and we came in to learn about everything from his office of Entrepreneurialism. He stepped forward and helped

us show him strategies to build affordable housing. So when it came to the tacticians of being mayor, there's a lot of incredible things that he helped those with. And I'm not shy to say it at all, but obviously the policing practices or something that's absolutely unacceptable, and the way he defended them, even when he saw the evidence presented to him as unexcited. Do you see him lie of Gail King? Another dance said that nobody ever even asked him about it until he ran for president. I

did not see that. Yeah, that is Evin the same interview when he called you, I was spoken, Yeah, well that's messed up because there's a lot, a whole lot of tape of folks confronting him, and I saw a lot of the activists. Do you think his apology was bull it was just just because he's running for president. You have to you have to ask him. I don't know. And again, this to me is we're in the New York City area, so we live with this for a

long time. And for me right now, the focus is, you know, I'm like running a I used to run track and my coach used to tell me when I line up for the hurdles, don't look to your leftic You're right, deal with your own obstacles, you know, get get to the Finnish line. And so I'm trying to spend much most of my time talking about my candidacy and what we're trying to achieve, because especially as Democratic Party, I'm not going to spend my time criticizing them when

we all have to get together. We got one shot to make Donald Trump on one term president, and so my focus is getting getting across the finish line as being the nominee, because I think I'm the best in this field to activate that rainbow coalition, that Obama coalition, to begin to heal not just our party, but the country so that we can actually start dealing with the big problems we have that can only be solved if we start finding ways to mobilize the whole nation to

deal with him. Because folks, this is going to be a very difficult decade ahead of us. Climate change alone. If you see the last New End report, the predictions they made, things are accelerating at a rate that scientists didn't anticipate. And any big thing that we've done in this country, from going to the moon to beating the Nazis has taken a mobilization beyond the lines that divide us.

You had to have by party. I mean, my grandmother, black working class woman, talk to me about during the war effort, her victory gardens and her buying war bonds because it took the whole country to beat a global threat. Well, this is what it's going to take to deal with the challenges we have right now. And so I'm running a race not to tear down other Democrats. I watched that script in the last election where we couldn't even unify our party to beat Donald Trump. I'm not just

trying to beat Donald Trump. I think that's the floor. It's not the ceiling. It gets us out of the valley, it doesn't get us in the mountaintop. So I'm trying to run a campaign. I always say you can't campaign

wrong and then think you're going to govern right. I'm trying to run a campaign, a positive campaign, not spending my time talking about other people, but spending my time trying to inspire other folks to win a big election, wave election that wins the Senate seats, House seats, state legislators, governors seats, so that we can have the people in place, because it's not about me, it's about we to actually get the kind of change that we're going to need

immediately on jump to turn this country around. But more, even bigger than that, to trying to planet around. All right, we got more with Cory Booker. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Torning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the Gay We are to Breakfast Club. Were still kicking in a Cory Booker. Now, you talked earlier about you said, Bloomberg opened up his staff for you, and you learned a lot from him

about low income and housing and things like that. But what plan do you have to help people be able to own homes and create generation of wealth and to start from a place where they can get a loan and they can get a home and all those things. Yeah, So first of all, I love that you start there, because often when people talk about especially with black people, they talk about us as if we're a problem to be solved and not understanding that when we create equal

pathways to wealth, it seems like it's prosperity. I mean, when I talk to them, the best economists they talk about you want to judge how what kind of jobs are going to be created? Look at the housing market. I mean people are buying homes, and so I actually start with that. I want to raise the minimum wage for fifteen dollars an hour. But people in my community, as a guy who lives in a black and brown community that's struggling around the poverty line, you know, folkarn

aspiring to make minimum wage. Yeah, they want to. They want to make they want to if they're working minimum wage, they want to make a fair wage. But people aspire to wealth. And so my whole sort of economic plan really starts by that. It's it's how do we create more entrepreneurialship, more home ownership, more prosperity. And so to answer your questions specifically, we got a number of things.

So Number one, I have a bill that has been a lot of academics have said this is one of the more breakthrough pieces of legislation that if we can get this done, would create generational wealth in America. And that's called baby bonds, which is everybody born in America, everyone by birthright, gets an interest bearing account with a

thousand dollars in it. Everybody gets interest bearing account. Then every year of your life, depending upon the wealth of your family, you will get up to two thousand dollars deposited into that account. So we're a nation has a high child poverty rate, so one in five one and six kids are born poor. Those kids by the time that they're eighteen years old would have upwards of fifty

thousand dollars in that account. Average Black family would probably have about a child will have about thirty thousand dollars. And then you can use that Now you have wealth to do things that create wealth, which is start a business, buy a home, go to college. And so I know already Columbia University says, my plan because we did it. You can't deal with generations of policies that were designed to racially impact the wealth of African Americans, the FHA, loans, redlining,

all of that. We designed this in a way that

we know would deal with the racial wealth gap. And Columbia University says, our bill would literally close the racial wealth gap for those teenage kids, because you know there's disproportioned African Americans, Latinos are poor, and so that alone would give people a stake to start doing things and We have a lot of folks from the housing world that said this is amazing because it would help it between that and universal basic income, because universal basic income

has given money to anybody based upon anything. It's not doesn't have even racial consciousness in it. It's just Donald Trump's kids would get a thousand dollars, and I just I have a problem with given wealthy people who don't need it more money. I would rather target that towards dealing with historic inequality and to level the playing field. And that's why this one based upon income, a family's income depending how much you would get, that deals with inequality.

That what you're talking about there is not going to deal with an equality, and so that's the first thing. And then we just need to start talking about housing empowering people with housing. So the rental market does affect the homeownership market because many people get stuck in rental situations where they're not saving money, right, And so I have another big effort, which is just simply there's many Americans a forty plus percent or paying more than a

third of their income in rent. And by relieving that pressure, we're saying, let's give every renter in America who's paying more than a third of their income in rent, Let's give them a refundable tax credit between there what they're paying over a third of their income and the area

of median rent. That would cut poverty for millions and millions of Americans, raise the incomes for millions and millions of Americans, and put people in a situation where they could have more month at the end of their more money at their month, and month at the end of

their money. As they say, in other words, this idea that we can start being a savings economy because people said, oh, you should have a savings kind of savings kin out, We damn, if you're spending all your money childcare, prescription drugs, all of these things, then you're not gonna be able to save the kind of money you need to put a down payment on the house and start. So we have a big housing program, but a lot of it

just it's about raising the incomes of Americans. We're going to double the production, double the earned income tax credit. That's going to give one hundred and fifty million Americans under my plan, a tax break, and we're going to expand the definition of work. The Earned income tax Credit doesn't go to kids in college who are working their way through college, doesn't go to seniors who are catching

extra jobs. So we're just going to make do a lot of things to help incomes in America where people can actually have the resources necessary to create. Well, I've seen you reveal one hundred billion dollars plan for HBCUs, you announced the federal build at bands naturalhead discrimination and why do politicians wait until their run off a president to announce all these things they want to do for black people? I, first of all, that's the question I asked.

As a guy who's been in public life for a long time, I say to this, don't don't suddenly run for president. Put a tab on your website about how you're going to deal with black issues. What have you been doing from jump? It's hard. It's hard for me to say that the Democrats are the party of the people when in the December debate it's diverse, but it's gonna be all way. Well three and a half years that was having a black president, No black people going

to be in the debates in December. Well, first of all, I got a few more days to make it book black bro Like, yeah, I haven' qualified for debates. I haven't qualified for the debate and that I feel some kind of way about that because because not just because of personal ambition, but because to make the debate stage. This is the first time we had rules. They said you have to make a certain fundraising thresholds and certain holding thresholds. Now you see what I just came out

of Iowa a few days ago. When I was up there, I'm watching late night TV is lining to my hotel bed trying to go to sleep, and it almost didn't seem like the Jimmy Kimmel Show. It seemed like the Bloomberg and Styre Show. Because they've got billions of dollars to run NonStop ads to juice up their polling numbers. So the DNC has created rules for the debate that if you're a billionaire, you can find creative ways to

get on it. But but my team, which is trying to use every money to every bit of our money for grassroots organizing, which is how we beat the machine in Newark for me to become mayor, is now having to try to figure out ways to raise enough money so we can do TV ads to help get the one percent point where shy and these polls we know are imprecise. If polls were right, Hillary Clinton would be

president right now, right. And so it's frustrating that we've designed a system the party that says we are about equality inclusion, not the power of billionaires and millions to warp our system. It's now this system that is going to benefit people who have a lot more money, Right, how do you beat that billionaire? How do you beat

those millionaires? One is we've been calling out to folk and this has been our best fundraising stretch because people feel especially with Kamal and now dropping out, people feel some kind of way. Yeah, we're now on our track for our best online fundraising. We're hoping it's going to continue because to make the bit stage or not, we still want to make the January one. If people want my voice on that stage, the only one has called

out issues. I should give Castro some credit and commasome credit. When we're up there, we are talking, we're often bringing different things in the conversation that have not been brought into the conversation. And so we're just saying to folks, if you value my voice, even if you haven't decided who your final person is you got to go to Corey Booker dot com and help us out because I refuse to let this election to be decided by the same factors that ultimately we're trying to fight in its

influence over our politics. And I'm confident right now just to let folks know by the way polling is such, thank you very much. I'm trying to trying to be respectful the polling has There has never been a point and that Democratic Party in our lifetime where somebody who was leading in the polls went to the White House this far out. Let me give you Carter was around one person, Bill Clinton was around four percent. Obama on this day was almost twenty points behind Hillary Clinton in

the two thousand and seven poles. Do not predict from our party who becomes president. Let me just tell you right now our campaign is the Mourne registress has me and Elizabeth Warren have the best grassroots campaigns on the field. Number two is we are leading every person in this race and indorsements from local elected officials. These are your

city councilperson, these your mayor local leaders. I should say, these are the people that on the ground, that are that are that are closest to the people, so we've got we're endorsed by those folks. So we're pretty feeling pretty good about our ability to do what Obama did upset expectations in Iowa. All right, we got more with Cory Booker when we come back, don't move. It's to

breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Corey Booker. Charlemagne, Is it embarrassing being the black candidate who camp guard black support? No? God, no, Look, we are brand loyal in our in our in our time. And Obama was the black candidate and he was way behind Hillary Clinton right now in in in South Carolina amongst black voters. Is that? Why Why do black, older

black people love Joe Biden so much? Especially when you look at like the eighty eight crack Laws, the ninety four crime bill. Nothing put more black and brown people in the jail than those bills. Why why do people love him so much? Listen, we are a we are loyal folks, and also, like other voters, we want to win.

We don't want Donald Trump to be there. And the perceived wisdom right now, just like it was when Obama was running that the Clintons, if the perceived wisdom as he can win, I gotta prove I can win, and I know the loyalty of black voters to me, is it difficult being a black candidate, especially with the expectations of not just black voters but black people because they might say, I don't know why they say, say Cary's

not black enough, Cary's corny. You know, sat and Night Alive would make fun of you and be like Corey has all these well prepared, rehearthed lines and debates like you know, shield a need to like put on a like I gotta be down, you know. No. Look, the movie Street Fight has this incredible scene and this is about this is the Oscar nominated movie when watching online for free now about My Rise in Newark, and it

lost to March of the Penguins and the Oscars. But this this powerful scene of a sister in that movie going against because because this was what the opposition of Newark the machine and Newark is saying, oh, he's not black enough to and this woman just broke it down and says, why is it that a guy who goes off and does everything we want him to do. You know,

I went off to Stanford University. I joked I got him because of a four point sixteen hundred four point our yards per carry, sixteen hundred receiving yards, because I got in on a football scholarship. But you know, I stayed and did master's degree. There, went off, it was Oxford or Rose scholar, came back to Yale Law School and she's just like, why is that suddenly? And then he did what we would want him to do. He came back to the community to serve. Like my dad

was not impressed. My dad from you know, you know, both my parents grew up a segregated times. My dad was from from the South, and he looks at me and goes, boy, you got more degrees in the month of July. But she ain't hot. You know, life in about the degrees you get. It's about the service you give. You want to make your parents proud, get back to the work of making this country a just place for everyone. And so I made a decision, you know, with my

yl law degree, I moved into the neighborhood. I still live in a black and brown community in the Central ward of Newark, New Jersey. A lot of them say you never really lived in though. Look man, there is a lot of people say a lot of things. But my whole life, my whole majority of my life now has been spent living in the same community in Newer living for eight years, and the projects in Newer and

the people that got me elected, Miss Virginia Jones. I could go through the tenant leaders who walked me through the projects there. They're rarely had there ever been an upset in New York. I was the youngest city councilors, never elected because of elderly folks and young folks who walked me through and put their credibility on mine. I

still miss Miss Jones. When people would answer the door, Frank, they would say, they would answer the door, open the door in the projects because they recognized them, and they would just say, we can trust this boy, we can trust him. And one of the reasons I'm still wasn't a white woman calling you a boy. No, it's like a woman who's like my mother, Miss Virginia Okay, yeah. And and literally the reason why I moved into the

into brick towers was because Miss Jones. When I got elected when she got me elections, don't forget where you came from, don't forget the people that were there for you. So I said, I only want to forget. I'm going to move into the toughest place where people will say things like he can't live there, there's no way he lived there. Well, I wanted to live with the community.

When I became mayor, I made a decision with my team, let's find the sector of the city that they say is the most dangerous with the most shootings, because I want to move into that area of the city. And I remember getting a lot of death threats. I do remember that as well. People like you've had some tough scrapes. But look, people, that gets a lot of tension for me because I'm the mayor of the city or what have you. But folk are living up in dangerous environments

in our communities all the time. That's why I tell folks. And I've had this conversation in Washington with people like issues like gun violence. The majority of homicide victims in America are black men. Majority of the homicide victims in America are black men. And so for me, when I go to that White House, talk about lived experience. I will remember. I can name the children in my community when I was mayor whose funerals I have to I had to go to. But you don't want to take

away guns though. You just want some type of gun legislation to regulates. Let me just tell you this, because I made this point when I was mayor. I could only find one circumstance in newer where somebody who was shot was shot by a person who had legally obtained their weapon, and that person was a correctional officer that used it to shoot at her boyfriend and do a horrible murder suicide. Every other shooting in my community was

done by somebody who wouldn't qualify to buy gun. So so, so my point is this is it not a law of buying citizens gun ownership. It's the laws that we have to allow people to obtain guns who should not obtain guns. So I'm not against you. I don't know if you have Charlomagne. I don't know if you have a weapon. Oh yeah, I do. You know cleared us up for us because about nine years ago we did

an event with you in Harlem. Yeah, and I swear me and NV saw you were a gun and you had it tucked in your back, and I was like, Yo, God, welcome back that. Did you ever used to carry him? No? I never cared. I'm sure I do, But I wasn't Hallow. It wasn't Hall. It was on the Upper east Side or something like that. I don't know where was that, but I was just like, yo, And I honestly made me. Did you because I know about the death threats and stuff like that, but carrying? Yeah? Yeah, but you know

I got a question. Sure you never carried your on weep. I never carried a weapon man, never, Never I fired him, But I've never carried What was that in your back that time? I have no idea. Maybe it was like a granola bar. Katie was here and she said that you guys went on a blind date. True, so a football game? True? And you never asked it out again? Well no, she said, she never asked you out again. Say that. She said, you never asked it out again? Why was that? Um? You send some time? Why am

I going back there? You're gonna get me in trouble with my now girlfriend? It never was Aario Dawson has a name, Corey. She was last time I was. I didn't say the name. We just but but she campaign of you. She is, Yeah, she is back the obala. You didn't call her back? Why not? I if I felt that door was open, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I would have knocked on that door again. I'll just put it back. That didn't connect. What what does that mean? That means I found her to be I had a

great time. I just never felt like she was inviting that. But maybe maybe this is my and this is how I remember. This is well more than a decade ago. This is a while ago, and I don't remember exactly. Wasn't there again, I really enjoy she was. She was somebody that you met them and they were for they were real, you know. It was like she we had fun and so I don't know why that did not materialized. He regrets. I have no regrets because I'm with the woman.

But I'm I'm, I'm like, you know, I'm every day I'm like pinching myself. I'm I'm My girlfriend is just amazing. I'm just very happy. Man. You're getting married soon. I am, I am. I am not making any news on that. There's been no there are no wedding plans for us. But I'm I'm really she's just an incredible human being. She's an activist. She she's she adopted an amazing daughter that her daughter at eleven years old. You don't see people doing that. She founded Voto Latino, which is this

activist ory. She's like a righteous activist person that uses her position to do as much good as she possibly can. For she's an entrepreneur. I know you respect that, but she's not. She's a conscious capitalist in the sense of she's working with women in Africa to develop a capacity there. I mean just everything about her amazes me every day, and I just I'm just I'm just really blessed. Some people say that relationship is not real and they say

you're just with her because of the rumors of your sexuality. Well, first of all, uh, some people say everything everything, and I don't care. I'm not. I don't care. I don't care what people say. I care what people say, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing. What did Michael Max say, if if, if, if you don't have no critics, you won't have no success. That's exactly right. I will say this about you, Coorey. I've been critically you, but when

you're on that debate stage when you get to talk. Yes, you're good, thank you, man, like really good, thank you, And I would love to see you on that debate stage continuing to do that, like take the gloves off even more. Man, Yeah I will. And let me just say something of you. Don't stop being critical because we got we we have to hold our people accountable and being black being is not enough. It's not enough. Well,

thank you for joining us this morning. And no more outfits like this because this goes around in our group chat people say I could never vote for a guy who dressed like that. This is the tough thing about This is the tough thing about being in public life. You know something about being black. You gotta have be fly all the time, all the time. I gotta be fly all the time. What was this? This is like? This is again decade ago? Man, is a decade yesterday. You do look a little wider in this. I'm a

lot heavier in that place. Yea. That's what's more embarrassing to me than cub Thank you very much to make telling to watch out for Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attack and ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is a westade I forgot he said, he rigged the door to his home and an attempt to electric kid his clidet's life. Police arrested in Orlando man

for talking of the window rectors Club. Bitchy donkey other day with Charlom Haine, a guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all elected? Well, do alredy keep letting me get them like this because they keep doing things like this, all right? Donkey Today goes to a substitute teacher at a school in Sarasota, Florida, named Heather Carpenter. Now it's for whatever reason she had a

dispute with the school's principle. Heather was allegedly upset to the school's principle was set to have a birthday party at a particular venue. The venue in question was the pavilion in Erfur Park. Now, I don't know what Heather has against the principle or the principal's daughter. But Heather, a substitute teacher decided to be a party pooper. Literally,

let's go to Fox thirteen for the report. Police. All eight of these picnic tables here at Erfur Family Park had to be replaced after a woman spread human waste and fecal matter all over the wood as a form of payback. Let's mixture of urine and feces and she had in a big cup. The nasty vandalism costs the county more than twenty three hundred dollars for clean up, replacing table and grills, and reimbursing and rescheduling a birthday

party set for the pavilion later that morning. It only took the Sarasota County Sheriff's office a few days to track down and arrest Heather Carpenter. The forty two year old is charged with felony criminal mischief. Turns out Carpenter is a substitute teacher at Philippi Shores Elementary School. According to arrest paperwork, Carpenter wasn't happy with how the principle handled a professional complaint she made. At the end of November.

The Sarasota woman admitted to investigators she smeared the feces with the goal of spoiling the birthday party planned at the park that day. The celebration was for the principal's daughter. Officials say Carpenter is no longer a substitute and can't volunteer at any district schools. Well, this investigation is active. You think Heather was with the sugar honey iced teas? Okay? Now I have a homeboy who shall remain nameless, who

used to have a real problem beating people up. So he went to angle management as part of his probation for beating people up. So whenever he wanted to beat people up, instead he would resort to fighting with pieces. What I mean, that's it's crazy. I didn't see him. What I mean by that is, if he had a beef with someone, he would cut your cars he opened and put dingle berries in the cushions, or he might go on your house and put a couple of chocolate

delights in your sneak. Because I remember that it is I remember he had an issue with his next door neighbor, and the next door neighbor's roommate, you know, let him in the house. So my guy put butt truffles in the neighbor's couch. Cushions. What's a butt truffle turd? Never understood why the roommate was down with that because he had to live there too. All right, tomorrow of the story is it's just some real live turd terrorists out here,

and Heather Carpenter is clearly wanted them. My thing is, Heather, you got beef with the principal, why resort to attacking the kids, because that's essentially what you were doing by spreading butt mud all over the picnic tables and grills at this park. None of the adults were gonna be affected by these rusty nuggets. I mean, sure, you put some rector warriors on the grills, so that means everybody's burger would end up getting fudge babies on them, But

why do that to the kids? Okay? What is something else to chocle Challa always tells you never go to wall which someone who gives an f less than you, And clearly Heather Carbiner don't give an f anyone can get it, men, women and children. If she got beef with you, then all of y'all getting butt beans. All right, everybody at this party gonna get all the fanny fudd you can eat. Chocolate bananas for everybody, simply because I

got beef with one person. I'm telling you, don't go to war with somebody who gives an f less than you, especially erect me Waria. Now, Heather has been charged with third degree felony mischief in property damage, and there's no way she can be in population with other prisoners, because what if this tird terrorists decides to let a bunch of frightened turtles loose in a prison? Do you really want a corn massacre in one of these correctional facilities?

Think about it, Florida. Please give Heather carbons to the biggest he are what I don't want to hear your question? Now I got a question. So for her to carry in your guys, your friends, you know, terd terrorists. So he does? He does? He poop on the floor and pick it up. Never asked if it was human feasis. It could have been dog fisis. I don't know what kind of feasis it was was using. I'm just here like, do you just pis like? I don't know what kind

of feasis Heather was using? Okay, you know what I'm saying. I'm just assuming it's hers. I just need to pick it up or are you going to tallet? And I'm just saying, if you got to go to a prison, you know what I'm saying, and that's your weapon of choice. You always got someone dack. I always got someone that right. I'm pretty regular at a fact eight thirty this morning, if anybody and he turned terrorists need something, holler at me. I got it for the low. My goodness, Um, let

me see what I had all that time. I had fish for dinner. This morning, I had my regular pos. You should always figure out how well you're doing as far as your diet. I never look at my poo. That's gotta make sure it looks normal. All right, guys, keep it like. We have more coming up next. It's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club is time for ask ye Hello? Who's this? Hehi? This is Astley. Hey Ashley.

What's your question for you? Oh? I kind of just wanted her advice on dealing with my boyfriend and his mother.

His mom is like very involved in our relationship. She drinks a lot and she Yeah, we used to be like really closely in her but um, she's kind of you know, she got the drinking and got like little disrespectful, and so it's like really hard on him because he's in the between the both of us a lot with arguing and like not talking to each other, and she has a lot to do with the problems that are in all relationship and it's just like kind of really

hard to deal with. Man. I had to date a guy one time whose mother actually used to drink a lot and then she would always call him and then they start arguing, and so I had a similar situation. She never got disrespectful with me, though. Now when you say she's a cause for a lot of arguments in your relationship, why is that? What are the arguments that y'all are having? Um, just basically kind of how to

deal with her? I mean, like she's so impulsive that it's like, you know, I'm just not used to that. She'll say one thing and forget that she said it, and then you know what I mean, Like it's just it's almost like talking to a different person every day, and it's just really frustrating to have to deal with that.

He lives with her now, we were living together, but you know, we just kept arguing over him, just like always going over there to see her instead of like hanging out with me, which is fine, like that's your mother. Of course, I'm not going to be opposed to you being around her, but I just don't like being around her. So you know that that energy that she gives off

and that vibe. I know she talks about me to him and how she doesn't want me to be with him and she would rather him be with his child's mother and things like that. It's just those things constantly being said to him and him telling me that it's just like that bothers me of course well as a mother before, you know, just things that are just like really out of pocket. So here's a couple of things here.

Number one, her alcoholism is a sickness. It's a disease, right, and and so I do feel like she's saying those things, but you have to look at it from the fact that she's not well. And so I think when she's lashing at it too like that that's more of a reflection on her not feeling well about what she's going through. So I want you to understand that. Secondly, you're a man has to figure out what he's going to do

to deal with this issue. Obviously, you know, in an ideal situation, you guys will get along, but y'all don't right now. Is he trying to get her some help? I don't know. I feel like there's just kind of in denial about it. Like I mean, he obviously knows that she's not you know, she's not well right now, but it's just so hard to deal with her, and

it's so hard to tell her things about herself. It's just you know what I mean, everyone's just kind of like tired of being the dead horrors at this point. You know, like she just doesn't she doesn't believe she's not bad, and you know, she's just you know, she's an adult. We can't only force her to do anything. If you talk to her, she gets very defensive, so you know, it's it's kind of just hard. It's hard. I get it's hard for him to deal with as well,

but it's like, you know what they mean. I don't want to feel like take a side, but no, and yeah, you can't say pick a side either. I think it is important for you to be supportive of your man. And when I say being supportive of your man. Understand that I'm sure it's difficult for him to have to deal with this, to be in this situation, and instead of you guys coming from a place where it's me against you over her, you have to be like, I'm supporting you because I know this is difficult for you

and it is difficult for me. So can we support each other to make sure that this doesn't tear us apart? And how can we try to make sure that we get her some type of help because she really does need it, and I do care and I do want to be with you right then. I do fat like that, and I do love him, and you know, I definitely keep him in mind whenever i'm you know, trying to deal with the situation, because I don't want to be you know, I don't want to be a personal disrespectful

to your mind. I want you to feel like, you know, I'll never be able to be around your mom or you know, because ultimately that's going to wear in a relationship fight. Yeah, this situation, So you know what, you and your man should go and actually talk to somebody, and then when he's come to it with that, he should encourage his mother to come with him as well. Right, yeah, I think that's a good idea too. I hope she

was right. Well, you know, best of luck to you, and don't give up on your man and listen, it's hired. Sometimes outside horses affect our relationship and they should and everything else can be great. It could be that one thing. And sometimes it's just your approach, right right, I definitely don't want approach him, say, but oh we'll see and we'll see. And now girl, just counter ten backwards every time you start getting mad and breathe right right right,

that's definitely helpful. But thank you so much. All right, good luck. Ask ye eight hundred five A five one on five morning. If you need relationship advice, hit ye Now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got Tony on the line. Tony, good morning, y'all. Hey,

what's uping? What's your questing for you? Ye? So become before I became an elusive member of the black Man No Cheat Club, that's right, baby, Prior to all that, I messed up when I cheated with my girl. Remember okay, Well this is prior to you know what I got, I got a new inspiration. Not okay, but before then I was cheated, messed up. But now my girl feel as if I shouldn't have any female friends now not I feel it with new female friends with me, any mean,

prior old, whoever they are. She don't want me to have anything. How do I go about handling that you want to be with her? Right of course, you got caught cheat and you're trying to prove something, right of course. Well I think when you're trying to prove something, and I'm sure the guys in the room can attest it, that you kind of gotta do whatever your girl wants you to do for the time being, because she's now

feeling insecure, she's not sure about things. So if that means that you have to back off from certain friendships that you had prior to her for now, you might have to do that. Now, as you guys get into a better space, maybe you can ease back into having those friendships and she'll be okay with that, especially if those friendships were genuine. I had a friend who cheated on his girlfriend and they ended up, you know, breaking up. But then they got back together and his girlfriend did

not like me. He did, she did not want him around me. And you know what I did as a friend to him, I said, that's cool, though that's important to you, that's your relationship. I don't want to cause any problems. A real friend will understand that and back to f up. And that's exactly what I did. Now, their relationship didn't end up lasting, and of course we're still friends to this day. But all I'm saying is he had to do what was necessary, and your friends

should understand that. Now. Hopefully, if those women are your friends, they also will end up being friends with your girl, because that's important too. But for now, as you're trying to win her back, and that's really something, you want to go hard for it. Even if it's not certain things that she doesn't you don't agree with that she might want you to do, you kind of got to do it. That's right. We don't negotiate with terrorists, and

your wife is looking at you like a terrorist. You do what she tells you to do, including but not limited to a finger in your don't debate, don't debate me, don't debate me. Yeah, and listen listen. It's sometimes it's a long road to get that trust back because you it takes a long time to build back trust when it's broken. But you have to be in it for the long haul if that's really what you want. But there is there in an extreme point and they're too

longer a timetable. No, are you listening? Are you willing to do anything? Because listen, there could be a breaking point for you where you're like, you know what, I can't do this anymore. I'm out. You have to determine that flat Okay, too easy? All right, Well, good luck. I hope you make it happen. Man, don't cheat, that's right, baby, all right? Anymore?

Your butterfly is crazy. All right. We got more coming up next. We're a breakfast club

this morning. Everybody is DJ Mvy Andela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club that we have a special guest in the New York Public Library. I'm not gonna mess up your name, sir, so I'm gonna ley introduce you Tocy last name, last name on your on your booty, your boot I know you used to get that a lot in school because the name is middle school was fun on your I don't want to say it wrong.

What is that Nigerian? Yes, and let's talk about your buck that we're actually using for our program with the new York Public Library. War are girls, and it actually takes place in Nigeria. And I actually had to do some history on this because there's a war and then it's a Biafrin. Is that how you're saying Biafran? So give us a history of Biafran because it's Biaffrin, and

then that's part of Nigeria. Right. So Nigeria became independent and I believe it was nineteen sixty and then in nineteen sixty seven, the Ebo tribe who were concentrated in southeast Nigeria wanted to secede and they announced their independence in nineteen sixty seven. And then what followed was like three years of war and famine and it was just catastrophic, and you saw all these like England or like the UK and the US and everything got involved, but mostly

on the side of the Nigerians. And so it was very much a David versus Goliath thing. Biafra got crushed, you know, three years later and eventually subsumed back into Nigeria. But the thing about it was there were no real like reparations or no real attempt to deal with it or deal with the underlying ethnic tensions. And so even

today you have like renewed calls for succession. So it seemed like now was the time to definitely like revisit that even in this like you know, science fictional way, but to like because in Nigeria, nobody talks about the offer. You said it's alternate Nigeria, Like what exactly is the alternate Nigeria? So I just wanted to I wanted to set it in the future, and so I wanted to write a story where there were black girls piloting giant

robots um. And I also wanted to set it in Africa because there are so few pictures or depictions of Africa in the future, Like all all most people know is black panther, right, Like that's that's it, that's the place, yeah, exactly, And so I wanted to present, you know, another version and see what you know, Africa in the future would

look like people and white people. Yea, if we don't, if we don't, if we don't stop going back to o Homeland exactly, and it takes place in any one sent I love the fact that you're doing black science fiction. It's a genre that I want to explore. But I just don't, you know, because all black stories. They always try to put us in the same thing. It's always from the hood. It's always a drug deal, it's always something like that. The fact that black science fiction. That's

why I love what Jordan Pills doing. So for you to be writing something like this, I think it's very very dope. If I want to be a writer, I don't just have to write about how tough it is to be a black person in the right. That's right. I can write whatever I want, right, And that's why I listen. That's why I get something. I get mad at some of this art that we put out because if we're gonna tell fictional stories about black people, can

we win? Can we change the narratives? Yeah? Like Jesus Christ, embody like about queen and slim one thing that I'm not gonna talk about it, right, But let me ask you this, um, So the process. Let's say somebody is very interested in science fiction and writing, how do you go about creating a world that's doesn't even exist? Were you high? No? I don't, but like writing is my high,

right high? Just um. It starts out as this like assemblage of just like cool that I want to put in this world and then I you know, start putting it together and thinking about, Okay, what's important in this society? What do people care about? How is it divided? Like is there are there class differences? Is there like a

racial component? And like, one thing that I wanted to do with war Girls, so like what's happening in Africa right now is there's a huge push for Chinese influence right like and like you know, nobody's talking about that, right And that was something that I wanted to have in the book, was like this discussion about Okay, I really like that's an actual Like, that's an actual thing

that I wanted to get at. Was like, Okay, if we're if we're looking at Africa in the future, we're going to have to you know, reckon with you know, where we're at now with regards to Chinese influence in the continent and whether or not it's you know, just like another brand of colonialism, right it definitely is a

new brand colonialism. Oh and I mean even when you see guys like Jack Dorsey say I'm gonna go spend and don't come, don't come to Africa please they come, They're coming back to take the mother yea bro Like there's there's nothing good that can come from Jack Dorsey coming to Africa. There's nothing doubt. It's just literally like

don't do it. Don't do it that a little bit why well, Like so, so for instance, one small example, like micro lending is huge in Africa, right because there are people that need specifically, if you're like a small business, right you you you got a stall in the market that you sell clothes or fruit from or whatever, you occasionally need a loan to like cover overhead or like

if you're if you're short on payments or whatever. And so what's happening is you have all these like apps and all these tech companies that are getting in and developing these like micro loans where they charge a ton of interest on these loans. So people will take out a loan's interest, so the rate will be something like thirty five Joe. It's like just just out of this world. So people will take out the loan, but then to pay the fees on the loan or to pay back

the loan, they have to take out another loan. And so it becomes this cycle right where you have the Yeah, so like stuff like that is leg I mean, that's the thing is it's not regulated in a lot of African countries, like they're no, Like it really is, That's exactly.

And so you look at, say, for instance, how much Twitter and Facebook have screwed up like America and American democracy, and you look at like the role that Facebook played and bregs it, yes, and then you're like, wait a second, what are they going to do in a place that doesn't even have a lot of the democratic and political infrastructure that America has, right, And it's just like it's going to be the apocalypse, And I'm like, yo, please, Jack,

don't do it. I do want to talk about the effects of war, right, because that is also a theme throughout the book. We see the different women being affected and child soldiers and all of that. So just as a theme because it is War Girls, right, discuss what it is that you did when it comes to war and the effects of war on these people. So child soldiers weren't necessarily a big issue in the bi Offering war.

But one of the things that inspired War Girls was I studied a lot of the conflicts in African countries in the nineties and the two thousands, and in like the Liberian Civil War, a ton of child soldiers, and I wanted to show the effects of that, like what is it? What does it mean to be in that position? Right?

Like what does it do to you? And so I'm working on the sequel to War Girls now and it's going to be interesting seeing how some of these characters, the ones who do survive, deal with the trauma of that. Give me that, man, listen, you know this is the next wave. Hey, you know I'm talking about Black science fiction is absolutely positively the next wave, Like this is going to end up being a TV show, It's gonna end up being a movie. And I know, so you know,

fingers speaking into existent. The New York Times said they could see this as a movie. That true because you know why, because every black story has been told and you know, black is gold right now. But Black creatives have to start doing things like this because we're we're We're not We're not a monolithic Yeah, there you go. Blurds need representative, Yes we do. That's it.
