time they had a Puerto Rican Day parade? It's been a minute, right, Oh, they had it last year. Thought they didn't have it last year for some reason in my head with COVID and everything, and it wasn't a lot of things going on. But all right, everybody's talking about COVID and how it might just be like the common cold and all the different variants. Oh hey, Envy,

It's not a regular job where you could just stroll in on the actual

You know he was arrested for gun possession. We'll tell you what happened. All right, we'll get into that next. It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning. It's about Report Angela the Breakfast Club. Well, Justin Bieber posted a video to

let people know why he's not able to perform. He's had to postpone his tour, and it's because he has a rare neurological disorder that can cause facial paralysis called Ramsey Hunt syndrome. Here's what he said. As you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsey Hunt syndrome, and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves

and has caused my face to have paralysis. So for those who are frustrated by my cancelations of the next shows, I'm just physically obviously not capable of doing them, but obviously my body's telling me I got to slow down. I'm doing all these facial exercises to get my face back to normal. It's just time, and we don't know how much time that's going to be. It's a compaca from the same virus that causes shingles and chicken pox, and you can get rashes around your face. Hearing laws

one side of face of paralysis. They said, it typically takes about three weeks to fully recover, and it's mostly in adults over sixty and rarely as it experienced by children. They said, Oddly, I know two people that this has actually happened to. It took longer than three weeks. One person that took three weeks for it to heal, and the other person took months, and then after they finally started to heal from it, they actually got COVID. So

I know two people that has actually happened to. And like you said that the side of your face is pretty much paralyzed, Like we can't but your eye looks crazy. You can't move, it's hard to chew, it's crazy. Yeah, he said, it's been hard for him to eat. I know people who have bells palsy, but I've never heard of ramsy bells palsy. That's that's been like one. It's another kind of like I guess I'm mysel disordered with one side of your face. Okay, you know, maybe that's

what they had. Maybe they didn't have. Yeah, I think that's a lot more kind that's what they had. Bells pausy. Stuff that's never good, but I heard, you know, paralyzed on half of your face. I thought that was yeah, that's bells Paus. Sorry for the people that I know because I just gave you a disease something else. Sorry, all right now, Saucy Santana. There were some tweets that resurfaced about Beyonce and Blue Ivy. So somebody had and

these are old tweets from twenty fourteen. Somebody, I just want to be Blue Ivy and he responded, nappy headed or and then somebody else said, I'm sorry, but Northwest clear as Blue Ivy has several car seats blue and he responded, just said this yesterday. Then people were coming for him on social media, and Saucy Santana was very clear to be the people in a comments trying to force you to apologize or say sorry to who, to y'all if I did something to offense him, when I

should apologize to them? Not you bitches, told y'all y'all think got power over people, but go ahead, and then he said, stop all that cap trying to ruin people's careers because you were at home miserable and broke. I was miserable and broke two making childish, hateful tweets in twenty fourteen, I'm twenty eight years old, a grown ass adult, a completely different mindset on life from when I was twenty. But y'all knew that celebrities are human, not robots, and

they for damn sure ain't perfect. I still talk about it. It's like a dog to this day, not publicly because my opinion matters to a lot of people. Now i'd be telling I don't even insert myself an ish that don't involve me. You're gonna leave Saucy alone. And then he said, fake woke as bitches. People don't care about old tweets. The Internet have this weird thing with power, thinking they have the power to cancel someone. News flash, you don't. You'll be thinking, y'all have someone by the

balls about situations you don't give a damn about. And Saucy Santana, by the way, it was also performing in Houston over the weekend. And here's how it went. He was doing the dance and Houston they was going crazy. We didn't hear nobody booing, right, show him out to walk to Saucy how to walk? Walk? All right? And we sit down, sit down and walk show him to walk walk all right, Sorry, I'm appalled. All right, well that is your room report, all right. Next up, it's

one more? God brother, we gotta get a donkey to my man for real, for taking something in the world from man. Now you can't. Now, you can't now, you know. Now let's talking about the reason why. The reason why he did it's it's a lot of it's a lot more water than the state. Na. I mean, his family member got killed and he's having problems with the police out there, so it didn't feel right for him, so he moved it. And it's not that far as only

two hours away, brother, three hours, three hours away. You should get him dunky of the day to the police officers. That's you know, making things difficult, and you know, for real, there's so much for the for the community. What's up? Brother? Hey, Hey, every where you've been going to school here there's water. We could have did it in any We could have did it on a peninsula. We could have did it in Richmond, we could have been anywhere else for the state,

just for RelA messing with VA right now. Say he said, we're gonna move it down a little bit, and then when they get things right here, moving right back. It's only two and a half hours away, bro. So punish, so funnish to state for what Virginia peast is. He's punishing, He's punishing Virginia for the legal system. He doesn't want the state to make any money off of him until they figure out what they should do and do it

the right way. I'm not mad at that. That's like artists with something happens something in the state and artists like I'm not going back to the state.

Okay, Yeah, he didn't even check with her. She he just did it without even checking in with her. She had no idea. Well she had him. I did, because she said he the lady, I already got a bad the relationship with him. To

have a bad relationship, they had to meet at some point. No, she said that she did not even know until he told her after she came back after he everybody took her child over there. Well, stop giving bad advice. She I don't know if that was bad advice. I don't know. I don't know if it's okay for somebody that's randomly take my child at some woman's house who don't like me. Hey, I wasn't paying attention, all right, get it off your chest eight und five eight five one oh five one.

If you need to vent, you convent at any time now when we come back, test figure Roa will be joining us. It don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast clubj Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building. The host of this great shot No Chase, the podcast on the Black Effect, I Heeart Radio podcast network, tes Whisper. I didn't say, I thought I said the hood Whisper. Okay,

I'm sorry. The Hood Whisper with Teslin is here, man. And you know there's nobody that breaks down politics in a digestible way that the regular, everyday average hood can understand like Teslin. So tell us about this January sixth hearing Committee. Why all of a sudden is all is pumping circumstance. It's all over TV, it's all over the news. What are they trying to get out of this? That's a great question, probably more a better question for our

elected officials. We do know that everything is strategic when we look at me terms and things coming up and bumping that back up. I actually believe though they have been investigating and looking at the data and looking at the facts and going through the information that is a

long process. Not making excuses, because you know, I don't make excuses politicians at all, but a lot of the evidence gathering, I do believe, you know, took longer, even though we can see with our eyes what happened, just like when we talk about police reform, police brutality, we see what happens, but there's still evidence that has to come into that. But to be honest with you, and you know me personally, the January sixth thing to me

was just white folks, wife folking. I mean, just to be honest, you and I we talk a lot about that. That has not been one of the things that I've

just been following. Just to be honest with you, I'm more concerned with the issues of Black America, and I just believe that most black folks, even though I know that is a you know, what they did can lead to other things, most black folks are not really talking about January six probably the way that some people think that they should, because it's just not effecting their everyday life. So it's just not something that I just why are

you investigating? And That's what I'm confused by, because You've got a lot of them that would have been convicted already, so why are they investing what are they trying to put Yeah, numbers of Congress that they said could possibly have been involved. True. No, Well, somebody always is involved. It's a system. That's why we call it systematic racism.

It's never just one person or damn show not when it's time for black folks to go to jail, Like what crime be able to be exact, It's always a conspiracy. It's always somebody that is behind somebody and behind somebody the kids. The question is really getting down, you know, getting that information, getting down to it having effects to actually prosecute and win. Um. I don't really have a lot of faith in that process, to be honest with you, I don't have a lot of faith in the system itself.

So as far as I'm concerned, wife folks, wife folcus has about my only comment I have on that. Well, you don't have any faith in the system. But the midterms is right around the corner. Yeah, should Democrats have any faith that they gonna keep the House in the Senate? Oh no, they're gonna get slaughtered. Wow, that's just the bottom line, very similar to my hand. They're gonna get slaughter. Period.

In a discussion. But I've been talking about publicans. I talked about it like no, no, no, it's a complete wife out like but again, this was the sweep that happened in twenty and ten when I left the Democrat Party. Um, and a lot of folks just weren't paying attention. I say all the time, Trump was the best and worst thing to meet. It happened to black people because people started paying attention. I've been talking about this for years. A lot of people have, but I'm just saying my

own personal story. I got the tapes to prove it. When I left the Democrat Party in two thousand and ten is because they up after two thousand and eight. You had the motivation, you had the movement, You had all of this energy, and you did nothing with it. So what Trump did, because he made it entertaining, he made it a reality show. Folks started paying attention. And so after you saw Trump doing all the stuff that

yes was fascist, yes, and abuse of the constitution. Now people saying with Joe Biden, why you why can't you do it? Why don't you get gangs to like that? He even said, I believe earlier this week or last week. Yeah, I don't want to abuse was a constitution that way? Well, we want you to use a constitution in that way. At the end of the day, you have to or you should. You owe your voters something for their vote.

And the problem I tell people with this and people say, oh, give him time and he can't do this and do that, Then why did you lie about it while you're running? That's my main thing. Nobody asked you to volunteer a life. Nobody you know, I talk about it often being in the family, of being in the room when he called George Floyd's family, Nobody in the family said hey, can you pass legislation? You know, what are you gonna do?

He volunteered that life. So when you run for office, like always talk about pimps, politicians and pastors have a very similar speech. The way they give me, you us when you volunteer that life and then you do not deliver and then you say, well I can't do it. Well, you knew that when you volunteer at the lite. Joe Biden's been in office for forty plus years. He knows he needs Congress. You know that. So if you knew that,

why didn't you say that? But the pimp game is all about tapping into folks emotions making them believe in this that doesn't exist, instead of being realistic. They still have not figured out that if you deal with somebody's straight shot, no chase, if you give it to him real and say, you know what, I can't really do this, but I'm gonna do that, and you just and you set the expectations realistic people say, Okay, that makes sense. It's the blatant, flat out lie and Joe Biden again,

I don't give it them who don't like it. Joe Biden used that year where emotions were very high because of twenty and twenty, you know, with all of the protests going on everywhere because of COVID, and he used that as an opportunity to win because he's ran two times before that. And so my issue with that, it's just it's really just the honesty, Charlotteagne. It's the volunteer life. I mean, nothing worse than how do you tell people that at this day and age to go out and vote? Right? Yeah,

because what are you telling? What do you tell them? Because I mean, you see what's happened, and you see every time we will go out there and vote. It seems like when they getting off they change sides immediately. Well, my thing is and Glade brought that up with one of the things I'm here to talk about. Texts six six eight six six texts push the line. What I have to out it to do what I've done for years,

training hundreds of folks every year. This time we're going to do it in Atlanta, Georgia, September tenth, the Beautiful Cops Center. Nobody has to pay a dime, not even for your lunch. I want to train about three hundred people candidate's operatives and organizers in order to run your city. So to answer a question, I don't tell people who to vote for. I don't tell them what party to align themselves with. I am independent. What I do is

say get in the game and do something. And so to me, that is on the local and the state level, the federal level, it is what it is the end of the day. The local and state really does matter. Your city commissioner, you know, your state rep. Your state senator, not us, your mayor. You're talking about five or six people typically in small cities that make decisions. And so when you have influenced there and you can show that, hey, I can organize a thousand people, I can get five

hundred people, you know, to align with my message. That's where you know you're able to give more of a result. So to me, it's not about necessarily just voting. It's who you're voting for. And so I tell the home all the time, if you don't like how they move it, then let's stop chasing them and replace them getting the game. Run for precinct, chair, run for dog catch. I don't give it them. What it is, do something. And so as long as you're doing that, even if you're doing

it to be a disruptor, everybody's not gonna win. The first session that I'm doing is teaching you how do you define your win. It can't just be about to win. It could be to disrupt, It could be to have a movement, it could be to get a message out, whatever it is. I've worked with countless candidates who have won with nothing in their pocket, felons arrested multiple times because they got out there and hustle. Your hustle will beat an incumbent if you're out there doing what you

should be doing. So that's what I'm about I'm trying to get people organize it. I'm tired of talking people about, oh we gotta do this and do that. Tired of talking about the federal level. Let's talk about the state and the local. All right, we have more with Teslin figure Ro when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking

it with Teslain figure Rot Charlomagne. So why should you know black people, young voters, like, why should we be encouraged to vote in the mid terms? Are even in twenty twenty four? Like, yeah, I'll talk about so we have voter suppression and then we have voter depression and some people are just simply not encouraged to vote. I mean period, they don't see the difference in their life. But I encourage people, though, to talk to your city council person. Why are they not making the difference in

your life. They're the ones that have access to be able to fund a lot of your nonprofits. They are the ones that have access to be able to keep the city clean, the potholes, you know, keep regulations reasonable. So that people can afford, you know, to live in

their city. So when these city council people get off with not having to be accountable because they're busy talking about Trump, when your state rep, not your US Rep. When your state Rep is able to talk about these large issues like abortion or January six or all of these things that they know damn well they don't have any impact on, and you're not asking them, how come you didn't fund, you know, our football football program, how

come you didn't find our basketball program. When you're not getting down to your actual local representative, you're not seeing a difference, and they're getting by with basically scamming you. In my opinion, not everybody. I work with a lot of great candidates, But we have to really start teaching

people that it's not about the federal level. It really is about the local and the state, and the federal should be pointing to the local and the state to say, Hey, they end qualified immunity in New York City, how come we can't end it in Oklahoma. Hey they end it qualified immunity in Colorado, how come we can't end it in Missouri. So when you hear people saying, oh, we can't in qualified immunity. Oh, the police union. Do New York City not have a police union? Does Colorado not

have a police union? If Sylvestor Mayor Turner in Houston was able to end chokeholes, why can't you know another city in chokeholes. So there's a lot going on, you know, on the local level that I tell people to get involved. So I don't talk about getting about voting. I'll talk about in the game. So the votes of voters should just be focused on hyper local basically, That's what I believe. So if not, So we look at Biden and Kamala Harris.

So what would you give their grading if you had to grade them, what would their grade be at this day and age, I'm gonna follow my brother killer Mike. I think you said F minus. So I don't even think it exists. Yeah, it's it's a why well again, it's the volunteer lie. You know. It's not that I don't understand how this process works. You know a lot of folks come into common you don't understand how to work. Thinking they're giving me some new information. I understand how

the process works. The problem is manipulating our people. Joe Biden is the only one that said I owe you black people, literally, the only one. Barack Obama didn't even say that. So to turn around and in January February, I believe when he went with our leaders who who they call our leaders and told him on tape, I'm not signing. I'm not doing an executive order. I'm not doing I mean, just put the pamp game down. I'm said, I'm not doing. Where was that same energy that you

had when you were running stop you again. I hope people go back and listen to me on the Gether Boys podcast because I broke down pimps, politicians and pastors, meet you us. It's the same speech, the same format. You can bring it down here too. Okay, great pimps, politicians, pastors, not everybody, but I want you to follow the speech pattern. It's always meet you us, so the politician. If you listen to the speech. They start out with me and they literally train folks how to do this. Hey, my

name is tays and Figaro from such and such. You know my age, I grew up in this city. Then they go with the you. Hey, dj envy h. You know I know what you've been going through. I know your pain I know that last night. You're using my example. Last night you went to the hospital and were you able to afford the healthcare? I know that really hurt. You and I have something in common. I had to go to the hospital before two. You and I together, that's to us. You and I together can make a difference.

All I need you to do is give me five dollars and then let's move on and let's make a difference. If all I need you to do is elect me and give me five dollars, that's the politician. Then you it to the pimp. Me you us. What does the pimp do when he started out with me? How he dresses, how he looks, I'm looking good, I'm such and such, I'm pimp, whoever I got this? I look good? Look at my car, Look at what I have. Then he goes and talks to the woman. You look at you.

You ain't doing so good baby. How you're treating You're not treating you right? You're giving it up and you ain't getting none for it. How you you know? How you moving, how you living? Me and you together can make a difference. All I need you to do is go out on the track and give me your Me and you together can change the world. Is that not what the pimp do? Then not what the politician do? Le let's get to the pastor now again, there's some

good pastors out there. But this is the speech me, you, us. I'm a man of God. I'm a man and a woman of God. The Lord sent me. You know how they talk about old and the church. The blessings come down from me to me, it flows right onto you and then in the church that say I know I'm talking to somebody. Am I talking to somebody in here? I know somebody in here? Understand if you ever been a church where you sitting and sad, them saying I'm

talking to me, to you, to me, you us? And some of it is definitely annoying to him, some because I'm a bootleg preacher myself. But it's still the same speech format, me, you us. Have you feeling guilty, have you feeling some type of way? All I need you to do come down and pay this offer and pay your ties and pay your offering because me and you together too will touch and agree me you together we're

gonna get blessings. That's not me, you us. It's the same speech format literally, and so that has been used to manipulate even in the Black Church, which gets more money than anything else. The strongest pack out there right now is a Jewish pack. We have no pack political Action committee for those who don't know that for black people that is as strong as the current packs that are out there now for other communities. All the money

goes to the Black Church. Those are just facts. So when we're not using when those uh, when that speech is used to manipulate in the church politicians. You remember when core Booker ran and he was talking about, oh yeah, I know what it's like. Remember we're doing the debate. I know what it's like. People shoot up, and I've got plenty of friends. Remember he was homie this and Homie that. No disrespect to you, Corey, but he was

homie this, I'm from Jersey. Was that the same Cory Booker that was given a speech about defund the police. I'm saying, we don't need to defund the police. So you flipped the game. You you did the pimp game, the politician game to identify with me, but then when it came time to deliver, you pimp slap me like a pimp literally, So it's the same format, and so we have to understand it and recognize it and don't get mad at the game. Just understand it and know

how to know how to play in it. And so people get upset, so they get depressed and they say that I want to do no, no no, no, I'm trying to teach you how to play the game. Play the game exactly like they play in the game, and you don't start using that phone. How do we stop being holes? How do we stop being honest? I don't know. I think the hole is always hole. She's always gonna have sex, one way or the other. The question is she gonna

get right? Be the best home you can be where you can't look at it, Be the best home you can be. Hold everything out. I'm hey, I'm right. Yesterday's price like today's PRICI the one term president, then yes, I believe. So I believe he knows that. I mean, even if he had said, you know, originally that he probably wouldn't run the second time, that his whole thing was about healing America. You can't heal the hearts of man,

only God that we want actual results. So yeah, and make sure y'all subscribe to this Great Shot Chase a podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast Network. That's Teslin's podcast. If you want to hear more of this, uh this Real sh Okay on a weekly basis. Well, it's the Breakfast Club is test the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club and shout to all the cyclists out there,

anybody out there on their bikes that's working out. I'm gonna get back on my bike and I'm gonna start doing I think I'm gonna start doing weekly ride from the our Juice Ball in Brooklyn. So I'll give you guys some updates if you want to ride with us. We're gonna ride. There's nothing crazy. We ain't gonna be doing fifteen sixteen miles an hour. It's gonna be a nice ride to get our cardio back, to get us

in shape. So we'll started the Juice Ball, get some juices, which is our Juices for Life, and then we'll ride. We'll do about twenty thirty miles and then we'll come right back and you know, keep it healthy. I told myself I'm gonna start that this this this month. You didn't want to put a real date on it. I was gonna be this month. Okay, all right, but let's get let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Rody Rich. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the

Breakfast Club. All right, Riddy Rich was arrested on gun charges. He was on his way to the Governor's Ball where he was supposed to perform on Saturday. That's in New York City, and so we had to cancel his performance. Now, an official Sunday confirmed that the charges were dropped against him by the way and so a law enforcement insiders said that officers at the festival security checkpoint claims they

discovered a loaded firearm in his vehicle. And so because these were all dropped, clearly it wasn't his right Yeah, which which makes sense. I mean, he's from la he's in town to perform. It was him, his driver that he hired, and security that he hired. The security is from Brooklyn, so hired. So if there's a gun in the call, who's gun do you think it would be? Yeah? He and two other people in the automobile were placed

under arrest. They said initially he was facing four charges possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, unlawful possession thereof, as well as criminal possession of a weapon, but those charges have been dropped. Yes, so I would be pissed a f four of two. I'm coming to the show. He probably probably making a hundred fifty two hundred thousand dollars performing, and now I can't do my show because

y'all arrest me and say it's my gun. Where I hired security to make sure I'm safe in New York when New York is crazy right now, and you arrest me and I missed my show. Yeah, that's fair. I'll be pissed off too, right so, and then imagine all the fans who were looking forward to see him all right now, Monique's sister has gone on Facebook and done a post about Monique and her name is Melissa, and I'm she said, enough is enough. My sister stopped the madness.

It's not a good look. God has shut you down before, and believe me, he will do it again. Let's start by staying on topic. You are and have been displacing your anger on the wrong people. Why don't you start, sister with you? And that begins with one digging deep and praying. And she also told Monique, take heed and clean your house up because it's dirty. Sister. You're coming with the same story over and over again. If nothing changes,

nothing changes. Your career has been dead in the past, and now it's about to come to life, and now you are killing it again. And now the plug is about to be pulled on you and you are about to be canceled again. This time it's flatline. I just can't take no more text messages or phone calls. At one time, the stage and the world was your oyster. What you're doing now is offensive to this family, our

parents and your siblings. But all of a sudden is about you having to be right, good, batter indifferent and now you are wrong as too left shoes. And then she also said, although you did not show up to your father's or your mother's funeral service, I'm sure they forgive you because they know who their child used to be. So she also entered it by saying, this is all coming from a place of love, sister. Stop your biological sister, militant, love you the life, and we'll be here for you always.

That's messy. I wonder why you know as family members. You just don't pick up the phone and say, you know what, I'm gonna say this to you to your face. Yeah, I don't know what type of things. We don't speak to each other normal may You don't have each other's novels. But Dan, it's messy all right now. Queen Latifa recently sat down on Hot Ones and they showed a throwback photo of her in Tupac and she talked about some

of her fondest moments of their friendship. Here's what you had to say about Tupac hanging out with her in a gay club. We toured together, so we went all across the country, San Francisco doing a show, my first show over ten thousand dollars, which was a New Year's Eve show at this cool gay club in San Francisco. I was like, Yo, I'm here. He's like, YO, hook up with you. So I came to the club with me and I was like, YO, come to Tupacs in the building. They went crazy in there. I was like,

they're gonna tell you all your clubs come here. He's like, man, he took his shirt off anywhere. We had so much fun, you know, but that was like my brother and he would like He's the type of person I would like if he loved you, if he was cool with you. He laid his life down for you. So I miss him and I love him. That's dope, all right. Now. Mike Tyson also had some good Tupac stories, and he was talking about basically, you know, meeting Tupac. Here's what

he had to say, Mike Tyson, I'm meeting Tupac. Tupacs. Those guys that we went to left him in the back and some kind of way they even gone on the stage, took the mic that started wrapping, and I met Tupac six months later in prison, and I get a call from somebody's Tupac's mother and he explains she know me from my son explained I love him in the club one night and he wants to come and visit me. I said, gay, okay, and then he came in. The mean lent him and it came to the visiting

room as soon as he came up. Everybody. So that's dope. Yeah, that, I mean, two bucks dound like the realest person for real. Absolutely. So that was on Drink Champs with Mike Tyson. And by the way, there's a teaser out now for the new Hulu biographical series on Mike Tyson. Savante Roads is starring as Mike Tyson. So that upcoming limited series Mike is based on his life and it launches on Hulu on August twenty fifth. Just the FYI. Yeah, I would love to I mean, that's one of the interviews that

I would love to do. I would love to interview Mike Tyson. I bumped into him a couple of times, like literally, like in the club. Not literally, but no, like like bumped into him by accident, and then I turned around, like you like, who the hell is this bumping into me? And you turn around, you realize that Mike Tyson, and then you run because you just don't want that. Probably, come on, it's an accident. You just say sorry, it was Mike Tyson a long time ago. Yes,

I ran, Yeah, weird. That is in the club in New York City. This is before you, Sue. You just got knocked out and you woke up in the hospital, and I didn't want to wake up in the hospital. It's a good story though. For the radio it is all right now. Jay Cole has stepped away from the Scarborough shooting Stars to fulfill touring obligations. There's no word on whether he'll return or not, but he did play four games, so you know, there you have it. I saw a lot of people going out to the game

Okay, so his new girlfriend used to be married to Steph Curry's mother Sonya Curry's new man. You get it. Yes, so his mom is dating a guy and now his dad is dating that guy's ex wife. Is that crazy? All right? Keep it in a family. And that is your rumor report. That is very weird,

Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy, we are the breakfast Club. We got a special guest from special guests in the building. Yes, indeed, you have Brandon Victor Dixon and we have I'm gonna mess your name of brother Keimi and very will say it Keimi. Okay,

welcome morning. That's going on y'all. Man, This is a beautiful time, man, because you know you have the political thriller eighty eight, you know, which premiered that you trybacka film festival this weekend. Yes, so tell people what first and forced executive produced by yourself. Thank you, Yes indeed,

yes indeed. But I mean, I'm grateful you you brought me out here not too long ago to kind of talk about the fact that we're trying to get the film made, and now it is made and it's premiering at Tribeca, and I got to come back now with the writer, director Ramsey. So why don't you break the film down for everybody? Eighty eight is about a Nigerian

American superPAC director. It's the financial director of a superpack and he comes on upon anomalies in the donations that are coming into the superpack, and the movie is basically a conspiracy thriller where he starts investigating the source of the money, which uncovers that mass conspiracy going back hundreds and thousands of year. Always follow the money, yeah, always

follow the money. It had a had a spook spoop by the door element to it to me was that was that any inspiration you ever seen spoop by the door? I did? You know? I did? I did? Yeah? I mean to be honest, like, so what I always tell people with me is like I'm so. I'm Nigerian about grew up in Lake US and London and my father was a movie collector, so we had thousands of movies on videotapes. So if you remember Beata Max and VHS

and all that stuff. So I used to watch movies every day, and a lot of the older movies that we saw, like the classics, a lot of them were conspiracy thrillers. So you know you're talking Manchurian Candidate, the Original Marathon, Manu Parallax View and all those sorts of films. All the President's Men is another one. So those were the films, you know, inspiration wise that really sort of

formed the foundation for the movie for me. But another crazy things like I always thought, as black people, it's crazy we never had like a heightened political like conspiracy thriller. Even though we've had the most conspiracies perpetrated one, we don't have a conspiracy thriller. So I was like a real thing for me. I was like, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

so yeah, that was a thing. I was like, you know, let me go ahead and make something that is really sort of cerebral and really talking about a lot of things under the surface in terms of race, economics, power, and so forth, but put black faces on people of Colorado,

the helm you know of the story. Yeah. The reason you know, I even wanted to be involved and I heard Brandon talking about it, is because the reason I think that the timing is right for this movie is because I feel like black people have gotten more sophisticated in regards the politics. I think black people are starting to expand the views in which we're looking at race and how it affects us a culturally and politically. So I definitely I think I agree with you right there.

I think our perspective is expanding, and we're starting to recognize that it's impacting us in a lot of different ways on a lot of different levels and arenas. And so a film like this particular, I think in the way that that you know, Thomas put it must say, put it together, really begins to unpack those different layers, I think in a really effective way. And I think since President and I think since President Obama, politics has

become pop culture. It's pop culture. Yeah, yeah, with social media and as well, it's it's crazy the premise like superpacks, I didn't know anything about superpacks. Okay, A superpack is a political action committee. The idea being there are laws and rules as far as campaigning funds, so how much money you can actually put into a campaign officially, So if you have a candidate like Obama or Biden or whatever, there's a limit on how much they can raise from campaigns.

So what they've done is a superpack is essentially an entity that raises money to campaign for a candidate separate from the candidate, and their limit is unlimited, so they can raise two billion dollars to campaign for a candidate as long as they're not officially connected as an individual, I'm capta exactly. So you can have a superpack who's raising tens or billions of tens of millions of dollars

to put into a campaign and they're running. So basically a lot of the ads that you see come from a superpack and they're not actually officially connected to the campaign of the candidate involved. And this is the way that and they're not allowed to coordinate with the candida direct, right, but they almost always have some level of coordination, right. And I think the main thing and where you know, when you're talking about the movie is where's all that

money coming from? And I think the thing is as communities they were talking about the black community is once you really understand how to utilize that. So, for example, if somebody wants to get somebody elected but doesn't want to put their name down as and I gave twenty million dollars to this candidate, you can do that through

a superpack, you know. So if you want to actually affect policy change, get involved in understanding how superpacs work, how nonprofits work, how they're connected, and you can actually get real support and get people elected that way, you know. And then really that's the only way to really get elected when you running for president is to have a bunch of superpacks of people that are really pushing for you. That it's not quote unquote you now, now, now that

is the game. I mean, now it's it's it's crazy. I mean, you know, we're talking. I think it was like nine hundred million. I can't remember what it was as of a few years ago that that had been raised since Citizens United in two thousand and ten got past and that was the legislation that really changed everything. I mean, at that point, you could actually put money

in nonprofits. They can just repackage the money, send it onto a superpack, and because they don't have to report to the FEC, you never know who put the money in. So it's crazy when we're talking about Russia and we're talking about the whole Russia scandal, that is this big in comparison to this, because this is real money laundering. So essentially could have gave one hundred million dollars easily to somebody to help without your knowing correct, without you wow,

And there's no regulations, laws or anything against it. It's funny that the law made it possible. There are regulations and laws against it, but there are also regulations and laws that create loopholes in order to make it possible. Right, So on the surface, you can say you there are structures in place, but everybody who knows that I manipulate

them can. And I think that issue of you know, you don't know where this money is coming from really matters, and it's really significant in the film, both in terms of a lot of times we think about that just in terms of self interest, personal self interest of wealthy individuals to one percent. But it's not just about personal self interest. I think you have to expand the purview

or what that means. It's the what are the ideals by which this person or this group of people or this corporation lives and how do they want that money to how do they want that money to affect the politicians that they are investing in, which is scary because you know, you look at it and you think America democratic, right, where we vote for the president, but we really don't, right, because if you have something let's say Russia, let's say Russia wants Donald Trump in, right, Russia can put as

much money on the floor to make sure Donald Trump is because they might have something else that they want from Donald Trump, want to back end, say Saudi Arabia wants bullshit? Say you know, but that that's the whole point. They just say, Okay, well who what's coming from where? And I think the thing really begins. The thing that I think it's great about the movie is that it

attacks it from both ends. But you start to look at what's happening in our in our society, of the challenges that we as a collective field we want to face, and why are we unable to overcome these challenges over and over again, even when certain politicians will will pay lip service to the things that we support, even when the majority of their constituents seem to want a thing. Why can't we get over that hump? And this film

tries to tackle those ideas. June fourteenth and June eighteenth, you can buy tickets to go see eighty eight at the Tribeca Film Festival, and it's also online if you can make it to the festival, you can get the online screenings from the thirteenth, so you can watch it at home. Ye, well, thank you. I want to ask more question, what did the Tribeca Film Festival mean for a film? Oh? Wow. I mean, look, it's been great for me personally. You know, at this the third time

I've been there. I've been there with two features now on one short film. Film festival is essentially just a way for getting a movie out and launching your film. So for me, without Tribeca, like, we wouldn't even be talking about a tight right now, you know, people wouldn't

really know about the movie. And I think that's the most important thing that this is doing for stories like this and filmmakers like us who do not have millions of dollars to spend on advertising, who do not have the outreach that you know, a studio film would have. Is these guys do that work for you and just give you a platform, and then if your movie resonates with an audience, you know, from there, you know, you

can sort of launch launch a film. So that's what it means for me and in the movie, the little profile for the film, and also connect with other artists who are working in the same capacity. Yeah yeah, yeah, well thank you, brothers. Definitely go out and support and we appreciate you guys. I'm gonna check it out this weekend all right now. I don't forget my Car Show
