Starting point is 00:04:32 What was the narrative they created? Because I feel like I knew what you were saying. Yeah, I mean, they were just like, you know, they were trying to pretend like they didn't try to give the exclusive for the trailer to someone else. Got you. They're like, no, it was always going to be yours. Don't do this to us. Got you. I say, you're right. We should know they're listening. Sometimes you gotta put people in check a little bit.

Starting point is 00:05:42 Yes. Here you go. Yeah. Now let's talk this uh chat gpt what is this yes a lot of you may have heard of ai chat gpt i've been trying to get this story out for a couple of weeks but um since its release in november of last year open ai chat gpt has been used to write cover letters, create children books, and even help students cheat on their essays. I've used the tool myself. It is really like just an awesome tool. It's amazing what it can do. But they say the chat bot can be more powerful than we ever imagined. And experts say that chat GPT and related AI technology could threaten some jobs. So I wanted to give you the top jobs that are currently at risk of being, you know, of being taken out of the game based upon this new technology.
Starting point is 00:06:34 One will be tech jobs, coders, computer programmers, software engineers, two media jobs, advertising, content creation, technical writing. The legal industry also is at threat uh paralegals legal assistants market research analysts teachers even teachers i know there was some concern about teachers about students actually you know cheating on their work but now they're saying that it is smart enough to even teach the class and create lesson plans uh finance jobs traders yep graphic designers accountants and customer service agents in fact a study said that by 2027 25 percent of companies are more than likely
Starting point is 00:07:15 more than likely will use this technology yeah i've been talking about this a lot because i don't like any of it man i don't like any of this artificial intelligence stuff simply because i don't think humans can handle it you know number one chat gpt will make people less creative if you have this technology that's writing books for you and writing proposals and you know writing scripts what muscles in your brain are you exercising and i feel like some of this content comes from a higher power right when we get these ideas for projects and stuff it comes from from god not chat gpt so that you know god is what gives it his soul. Now that's going to be lost. But second, if we live in a world
Starting point is 00:07:47 where we can't even handle fake tweets, how are we going to handle AI? What happens when fake voiceovers and deep fakes start coming out? When you start seeing headlines, you know, audio leaks of such and such saying this and such and such saying that and that person didn't say it. Like, we can't handle that as a society. But then how do you prove it?
Starting point is 00:08:03 It's going to be a cluster F. It's going to be a man. And it started, see, I also thought this, I think it started with computers and what they were doing with computers, right? Now, you look at, you know, Charlamagne, me and you,
Starting point is 00:08:12 you know, we both drive over a bridge or go through a tunnel to get to work. There's no more people working anymore. Before, it used to be people taking your money, collecting. Now, there's no more people. So, all those jobs are gone. They're talking about the next three years,
Starting point is 00:08:23 even tractor trailers. They're not going to need tractor trailer drivers anymore because they have self-driving trucks. So, where are all those jobs are gone they're talking about the next three years even track the trailers they're not going to need track the trailer drivers anymore because they have self-driving trucks so where all these jobs gonna go and and i think that people like you know i'm a business owner so i'm looking at it from perspective that a lot of people looking at it from is that it could save me a lot of money right so if this whatever technology can write some blog posts imagine the coins i could say yeah that's what i want to know but it's not gonna give it that b scott touch though. I can come in and give it a little touch if it saved me the right type of money.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Quit playing with me. It is going to save a lot of money. I know a lot of businesses do it now where instead of having callers call out to do things for business, they have these AI companies overseas and it sounds just like a real human. They call and they talk to you like a real human. So what does that do for real humans?
Starting point is 00:09:04 It takes jobs from humans. That's what I'm saying. You got artificial intelligence doing a law their attorneys doing law cases. You know, financial advisors. Like B. Scott said, it's saving people a lot of money and that's what people are looking at finances when they should be looking at humanity, right? And also too, with the
Starting point is 00:09:20 writer's strike coming up, you know, if they stay on strike too long, it might be this AI that's writing the scripts. I heard they do a pretty good job just go in change a few things you got a script come on now i mean companies spend a lot of money in production spend a lot of money writing these scripts they have writers right like what if you don't the whole room just go away no more writers no but you know me and then you just have a complete script that comes in 30 minutes you tweak a couple things that's things and it's done. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Donald Trump gonna start saying build a wall around Silicon Valley. Y'all thought the Mexicans were taking all the jobs. Y'all thought the so-called illegals
Starting point is 00:09:54 were taking all the jobs. No, no, no, no, no. Even police officers like we talked about the other day that they got these robots that can go and build
Starting point is 00:10:02 and these fake dogs that can check things out so people don't have to go in and take these jobs. I think that's a good thing though. Don't you think if you could send a dog in the, you know, well not a dog because I don't want the police leader to contact me. I don't want a police robot or a police anything. You know
Starting point is 00:10:16 why? Because if it's the same white supremacist program in the robots Right. What's the difference? So Charlayne, what are you saying are you saying that it should just be banned across the board no ai for anything i don't i don't want to i don't know i don't want to go that far yet but i don't i don't like where it's going i'll say that okay you know i don't i don't have enough information a lot of people should be banned on it yeah but i
Starting point is 00:10:37 don't i don't i don't like the way i don't like what could happen put it like that all right sorry to uh cut you off i know you have so many stories to talk about okay no problem no you keep us on time uh so we want to uh quickly talk about uh feinstein a senator majority leader chuck schumer is moving to temporarily temporarily replace 89 year old senator diane feinstein she is also the oldest member of congress and the reason why they want to replace her is because she is currently currently experiencing medical complications from shingles. And she has she has been sidelined for longer than expected. Now, she sits on the powerful Judiciary Committee. So the replacement could help Senate Democrats advance federal judges for confirmation, which we've seen this same thing play out before, especially as partisanship continues to divide America. So in other words, Democrats are trying to make a lot of moves and she has not cast a vote since February 16th.
Starting point is 00:11:33 She's missed. She's missed 60 of 82 votes this session. Yeah, it's a lot. And so several Democrats have called for her to resign when her term is up. She has says that she's not going to run for reelection. But take a quick listen to Representative Nancy Pelosi, who is in defense of her. The Speaker of the House fighting for California. And I have seen up close and firsthand her great leadership for our country, but especially for our state of California she deserves the respect you to get well and be back on duty and I just it's interesting to me I don't know what political agendas are at work that are going after Senator
Starting point is 00:12:16 Feinstein in that way I've never seen them go after a man who was sick in the Senate in that way wait a minute Lord Hammers it sound like she's barely holding on right I mean like it's a shocking it's like I can't help us why is everybody so old the average age in the Senate is 63 years old the average age in the house is 58 so yeah here her it's time to sit it down it says nothing to do with sexism. That hurt me. I was like, oh, my God. Help Nancy. I pray I get to that age.
Starting point is 00:12:49 I don't want somebody to be screaming, help me, too. I need to get there. And, of course, you're going to defend her. I mean, they're the same age, basically. Jesus. All right. What's she going to say? It ain't got nothing to do with being a woman.
Starting point is 00:12:58 It's like you old. Jesus. Thank you, Taz. No problem. We'll see you in a little bit. All right. Get it off your chest. No problem. We'll see you in a little bit. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:13:08 If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Desi, what up?

Starting point is 00:13:45 Hey, good morning, B. Scott. I want to get off my chest. I'm very outraged because we have another slain of one of our LGBT community trans sisters up in Atlanta, Georgia. Her name is Ashley Burton. She was shot inside her home and she ran out for her neighbors, knocked on doors before she come for her death. And you know, this story is not getting a lot of publicity.
Starting point is 00:14:13 So I just wanted to bring awareness to this story. She's from, you know, the CSRA area, but moved to Atlanta to further better herself. And you know, she was laid up there. She was only 37 years old. Her name was Ashley Burton. I want to bring, you know, light and awareness
Starting point is 00:14:29 to this story. Ashley Burton. The rest of Ashley Burton, did they arrest the killer? Did they find the killer? No, not as of yet. It just happened on the 11th and, like,
Starting point is 00:14:40 we're barely getting any updates from the police about what's going on. Sorry to hear that. Sorry to hear that. Sorry to hear that, bro. That's a healing energy to the family of Ashley Burton. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah, and that's why, you know, like, you know, every day it seems like we're hearing more and more of cases like this. You know, people like me, our lives are on the line. And so that's why representation is important. That's why, you know, what things we say, because that trickles down into actual violence against people like me absolutely and that's why it's also important for me to be here you know what i mean it's like you know the change is coming and i just hope that one day it could mean that you know people like me would be more protected and actually from the crib too she grew up i'm looking at her story she grew up in south carolina and uh that's where i'm from this she moved to atl Atlanta since she was a hairstylist and a makeup artist.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Hello, who's this? How's it going? This is Robert. Robert, good morning. Good morning, guys. I just wanted to talk real quick about the chat GPA. I actually had one of my sons' teachers recommend it to me
Starting point is 00:15:37 just to help out using English honors. It's a great tool to have. It really is. As far as the jobs go, white college jobs need to start organizing. You need to get together and make sure that you're not being ran off by computers. They're definitely going to be ran off by computers because you know how capitalism works.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
Starting point is 00:22:36 And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our co-host, B. Scott, on Friday. Oh, yeah. We made it to Friday.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Let's get to the rumors, what we teasing. So we have a Jamie Foxx update. This is the rumor report You have been asking me for quite some time On the Breakfast Club I wasn't going to come to you tonight But I had to It goes a little something like this
Starting point is 00:26:37 Alright, we had to get your intro Oh, okay Oh, you didn't hear it? I might, yeah. The headphones went off. We experienced a little technical difficulty, but I'm here. All right. Okay, so for those of you who didn't listen to the show yesterday, shame on you if you didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Jamie Foxx had a very serious situation and still is in very serious situation. He had a medical emergency that thank God, you know, the people acted quickly and he got the help that he received. I am being told that at a certain point, Jamie could not speak. And now he is able and has started speaking again. Glory be to God. OK, absolutely. And, you know, as we said yesterday, it's just, you know, it was a shock to many. And also, you can feel the seriousness
Starting point is 00:27:29 of the situation by all of the celebrities that have been posting sending well wishes to Jamie Foxx, like Kerry Washington. Okay? And, you know, we send him the best. You know, as I said yesterday, he means a lot to me. I'm so grateful to him for everything he's done for my career and i hope and wish him a speedy recovery absolutely definitely
Starting point is 00:27:50 sending jamie foxx healing energy always absolutely and you know now we're about to get into another serious situation about nikki minaj psych because y'all barbs are not gonna get me at all if you think i thought you was laying the gauntlet down. I thought you was about to smoke with the barbs. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. If you think I'm going to come to the Breakfast Club and start some stuff with the barbs, oh, no, they will end my career. It'll be over.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It'll be no more B-Sky because those fans go hard. Barbs don't play it. The barbs and the beehive. You don't mess with them. Okay? But this is actually something really good. Nicki Minaj is set to star in 50 cents lady danger animated series so she's going to star and she's also going to executive produce the show
Starting point is 00:28:30 it is inspired by the dark dark horse comic book series and you know this is really great for you know nikki minaj this is yeah another check you know something to see her differently you know i love nikki minaj when she is happy and like just having fun and rapping and, you know, being light with it. You know what I mean? And I like seeing hip hop, hip hop people like 50 Cent and Nicki Minaj collaborating outside of music. Yeah, queens get the money. I love to see people making money. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Doing it together. I'm not mad at it. And I love saying her name, Nicki Minaj. Minaj. And speaking of 50 Cent, you know you know 50 cent he has not been happy with stars for quite some time and he recently just posted another you know i guess going in on stars again on instagram he is basically saying he regrets working with him and he's not going to do any more bf bmf spinoffs or anything else with stars. He regressed the whole situation.
Starting point is 00:29:25 He said, I have the number one, two, and three, and four top TV shows in African-American and Latino households, and I hate that I did this with the wrong people.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I'm not doing any more spinoffs or selling any other shows to stars. I mean, he created stars. Listen, stars, there's absolutely no reason to not give Curtis Jackson whatever he wants. He put that network on the map.
Starting point is 00:29:48 He did. He's contributed so much content to that network, and you have to take care of him. Look at how Paramount Plus takes care of somebody like Taylor Sheridan. You might not know who Taylor Sheridan is, but he's the guy behind Yellowstone and all the Yellowstone spinoffs, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown. Paramount is invested in him so Stars you need to be invested in 50 Cent the same exact way can you think of
Starting point is 00:30:07 a show on Stars before any of 50 shows not before but there's a show I loved after I started watching Power On Stars and I kept Stars
Starting point is 00:30:16 because that show was coming which was American Gods because I read the book back in the day and I loved the book but other than that no
Starting point is 00:30:21 I couldn't even tell you what Channel Stars was before 50 did I don't think it's a channel or BMF I don't think it's a channel it's a screaming platform it feels like that
Starting point is 00:30:30 it is it is it's a screaming platform oh really no no no it is a channel I was about to say I'm watching on screaming now
Starting point is 00:30:36 it started off as a channel but when we first started watching probably I think it was a channel it was a channel yes I watched it on cable and if you can remember
Starting point is 00:30:43 back in September he encouraged his fans not to watch the new season of BMF because of the fact that they hadn't greenlit the second season of the show. And so he actually would tell them, don't stream it. Let's mess up the numbers so they understand who they're dealing with. Yeah. And 50 Cent's like that. I mean, like, you know, love him or hate him, you're going to know how he feels.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Absolutely. Also, that's a trick question. I don't know none of the channels. I ain't known no channel since 2, 4, 5, and 12 back in the day. What channels do we know now? You know BET at one time. What was that? What was BET?
Starting point is 00:31:11 Oh, yeah. It was 36. Oh, yeah. I think BET was 36. And it's different everywhere. It's different everywhere. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:17 I don't know no channel. Wait a minute. Y'all about to be on BET. Do you know what channel it is now? I know the network. No, I definitely don't know what channel it is now. Now, wait just a damn minute. Because it's different in every market. Yeah. okay i think but i know it's in like almost
Starting point is 00:31:29 every household oh yes yes definitely it is in every house that's major yes i also understand why i don't understand why networks do that it's almost like when a person gets so much power they want to pull the plug why especially with people of color yes that was probably an argument about money they probably was was not giving 50 what he felt he deserved. He was like, I'm not going to take it. And I'm sure another network gave him more money than that. Well, stars could never pay 50 as true worth. Nobody can ever pay you your true worth.
Starting point is 00:31:53 We have all these conversations about, no, you're worth, no, you're worth. Nobody can ever get paid truly what they're worth. There's no NBA team that can pay LeBron what he's worth. But you know what you can pay? You can pay somebody their value. So his value to the network is unbelievable. Correct. So you pay him his value.
Starting point is 00:32:09 How do you feel about 50s trolling in general? I just wanted to ask you that. Well, I'm a cancer, so I understand it. So you with it, even if it's kind of like, sometimes I see the stuff he posts, I'm like, yikes. No, he's petty. Petty as hell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I'm the same way. I've been working on my petty for years now. I have too. I have. I have. I have. I definitely have. I'm way less petty than I used to be.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I mean, my type of petty is like, it's consistent over a long period of time. It's like I kind of keep tapping you and tapping you and tapping you. That's me. Okay. No, I'm not. You know, you can tell Charlamagne Evolve when he talks me off the ledge. Usually I have to talk him off the ledge. Now he's talking me off the ledge.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Because it's pointless to give people that kind of energy. Just remove yourself from the situation. I think sometimes that hurts individuals more. And it's like nine times out of ten, what are we going back and forth with this person for? So you're telling me I need to get rid of my naughty and nice list? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:59 You got a naughty and nice list? I like that. I do. I have people that definitely on the naughty list and definitely people that are on the good list and like definitely people that on the good side. And especially when people say things about you, right? When people say things about you, if you know it's not true, who you got to prove anything
Starting point is 00:33:11 to? That's true. You know it's not true. You know what I really like? I like this enlightened Charlemagne. I wish this person was here years ago, too. You are so enlightened. I had to be that to be this.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Oh. Yeah, that's all. Come on. You dropping these words, these nuggets. What book have you been reading? Oh, too many. you are so I had to be that to be this oh yeah that's all come on you dropping these words these nuggets what book have you been reading
Starting point is 00:33:28 oh too many oh my goodness and therapy I'm different I gotta and therapy I wanna pop your hand that's me
Starting point is 00:33:34 I just wanna pop your hand one good time what why I'm petty kill him with success just pop it

Starting point is 00:33:47 That's all I have. All right. That's your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Tezlin Figaro will be joining us and Tony Ayo will be joining us. Chit, chit, chit, chit, chit, chit, chit.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Oh, yeah. G, you nerd. So we're going to kick it with Tony Ayo. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Your mornings will never be the same. On April 21st, Mommy Will Love You To Death in the new movie Evil Dead Rise. Critics are raving that this is the film that horror fans have been waiting for. Get your tickets now. Only in theaters April 21st. Rated R. Under 17. Not admitted without a parent.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our co-host, B. Scott. Oh, yeah. And let's get in some front page news. Now, NBA starts today. So, anybody out there that NBA fans, the Bulls take on the Heat at 7 o'clock. The Thunder takes on the Timberwolves at 9.30.
Starting point is 00:34:37 And, of course, we got Teslin Figaro back. Absolutely. Good morning, B. Scott. Big B. Scott energy. Yes. And Charlemagne the guy. Peace, peace, peace. And DJ Envy. Now. Big B. Scott Energy. Yes. And Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, peace, peace. And DJ Envy.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Now, let's get it cracking. I know they found somebody in the killing of Cash App founder Bob Lee, right? Yes. All of the conspiracy theorists were talking about, you know, why did the Cash App founder, how did he get killed, what happened? So, quick update on that. A tech consultant was arrested and charged with murder uh thursday in the stabbing death of cash app founder bob lee last week in downtown san francisco now the killer nina mohammedi was taken into custody thursday morning in a san francisco
Starting point is 00:35:18 suburb and booked on the suspicion of murder now the chief did not disclose what the possible motive could be. But again, I'm sure the internet investigators will come up with all types of motives, but wanted to just give a quick update that that person has been found and arrested. And also to I feel like this is the prime example of how you can be loud and wrong. Because initially when he was murdered, you know, everyone had all these theories and they even blaming like maybe a homeless person did it or whatever. I'm like, so now that information comes out, you know, it's totally different from what
Starting point is 00:35:50 we initially thought. And so that's why it's always good to skip a beat. It's okay to skip a beat. You don't have to be the first to it. That's right. Okay. Skip a beat. Let the facts come out and then drop your opinion or the information that's correct.
Starting point is 00:36:03 And where's the narrative, right? Because it seems to me like they're banging in the tech world, right? Like, what's the point of taking that man out? Does that person who killed him get his territory or something? Like, what's the reason? I don't know. It seems crazy. But, you know, also.
Starting point is 00:36:15 He might just be disgruntled. Yeah. They said when he got stabbed that he was trying to get help, but nobody would help him. Like, he ran into a couple of cars and people see him with the blood and everybody took off. So I wonder if one of those guys would have stopped to help him if he would still be alive today, you know? And they also say that, you know, when stabbings occur, that is a more personal thing. So when, you know, when you hear of a stabbing death, it usually is some type of emotional connection to it. Because, I mean, that's personal.
Starting point is 00:36:41 You got to get up on somebody and get to work. That's right. So now let's talk about rental prices and groceries how are we looking on that on that side of things yeah rental prices were by far the largest contributor to the rise of inflation on on an annual basis in march according to the bureau of labor statistics now while consumers are paying a little less for gasoline housing has went up by 8% during the same period and you may ask why is rent so high right now and what the study has shown that over the past two years the US median rent rose by 18% and that was mostly
Starting point is 00:37:15 because of a competitive housing market and higher mortgage rates that shut a lot of people out of home buying a strong jobs market and shortage of inventory also contributed to the rising rent but they are saying that newly constructed apartments are expected to hit the market this year and that should help lower the rent prices so maybe some relief is coming but on monday i'm going to cover a story about how they are predicting a recession this year so i'm just gonna have to see how it all just washes out. Yeah, prices are stupid high.
Starting point is 00:37:47 You know, right when the pandemic hit, you know, rental prices went down, went down a lot. People were scared. People were moving out of major cities, moving into the suburbs. So rental prices went down. And then it feels like a year into it, it shot up. I've never seen rental prices that high in my life. And as a landlord, because I own a couple of buildings, you have to be competitive.
Starting point is 00:38:05 And the prices are so high, it's ridiculous. And that is due to the fact that, you know, people can't buy houses right now because the interest rates are 67%, 8%. It's hard for people to get loans. It's hard for people to put money down. FHA loans are very difficult right now. And they are allowing 40 years, but, you know, people don't have the PMI to put down. Like, there's a lot going into it. And I kind of hope that we get those rental prices back down because right now it's just too crazy. Do you think that is because during COVID, landlords lost so much money and now they're trying to make it back? Did you lose money?
Starting point is 00:38:38 I did. A lot of my tenants did not pay because they couldn't pay. Well, not even that they couldn't pay. I think when the governor got on radio and said on TV and said don't pay your rent people who could afford it nobody was paying um because some landlords got money like from the state or the cities or whatever a little we did get a little help it wasn't it wasn't enough to maintain everybody that didn't pay but it was also the fact that like you said there is so much inventory people buying so many houses there were not enough places for people to live because people are moving so
Starting point is 00:39:04 i hope it it fixes itself. But I've seen it in the housing market. I've seen it in the car market. I've seen it in so many different markets where inflation is pushing prices high and it's getting ridiculous. And this is what's contributing to so many people's stress. Like, I don't think we discuss enough about how folks having, you know, financial issues contribute to people having mental and emotional health issues. The fact you can't take care of your basic needs like housing and food. You know what I mean? Yeah, we all housing and food. Yeah, that's real.
Starting point is 00:39:26 We all been broke before. You can deal with anything. You got a place to stay and something to eat. Right. You know what I mean? But if you can't even take care of those two things, oh my God. Bro, think about it like this.
Starting point is 00:39:35 They were charging over prices for cars like Hondas and Nissans. So if a Honda is $20,000, during one time, they were charging $30,000 for that same Honda. Wow. And if you were lucky or were able to get that Honda, right now, it's not worth that money now. So now you're upside down.
Starting point is 00:39:52 So that's going to be a problem. It's going to be really effed up for people. I'm about to buy me a new Honda now. Yeah, my first car was a Honda. Mine too. 1986 Honda Corolla with the flip-up lights. No, actually, mine was a Nissan Datsun. A Nissan Datsun.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Then I had a Honda. Wait a minute. A Nissan Datsun. Hold on. Yeah, this is a Datsun. Yeah. This is a Datsun, yeah. That was a Nissan Datsun. Then I had a Honda. Wait a minute. A Nissan Datsun? Hold on. Yeah, this Datsun. Yeah. This Datsun, yeah. That was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:40:10 They don't make Datsuns anymore. Then I had a Honda Civic. Then I had another Honda Civic later on. When I tell you I thought I was doing something in the Honda Core 2. I put some rims on it. I didn't have no leather. And then I had leather seats. You had leather?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Leather. Oh, I had claw. I had claw. Man. What was your first car, T And then I had leather seats. You had leather? Leather. Oh, I had claw. I had claw. Man. What was your first car, Taz? I'm just curious. I had a Honda Del Sol. That was the first one that I bought myself.

Starting point is 00:40:43 It was a little two-seater. It had the little top that came off. It sounded like a music group. It was. I was flying a little cam off. Oh, yeah. That's why you had a Hyundai. That's why I said a Hyundai.
Starting point is 00:40:55 No, it was a Honda Del Sol. It was no Honda. Wait a minute. Yes, it was. Google it. You're going to tell me what my claim was. It was a Honda Del Sol. Look, I think she might be AI. She might be AI. No, no. It was a Hyundai. Oh, no,. Google it. It was hot. Y'all going to tell me what my credit was. It was a Honda Del Sol. Look, I think she might be AI.
Starting point is 00:41:05 She might be AI right now. It was a Honda. No, no, no. They do have Hondas. Can the real test stand up? Yeah, they got Honda Del Sols. I'm looking at it right now. Really?
Starting point is 00:41:15 That's right. A little two-seater. I got in a real bad wreck with it, though. But I don't know. I was fly as hell. I'm going to tell you something about them Hondas. Them Hondas will never give up on us if we didn't give up on them. You're right.
Starting point is 00:41:24 That's right. We would have still had them Hondas now if we never gave up on them Hondas. You're right. I'm going to tell you something about them Hondas. Them Hondas will never give up on us if we didn't give up on them. You're right. We would have still had them Hondas now if we never gave up on them Hondas. You're right. I'm going to give me a Honda. What are you going to do with it? I'm going to drive it. Okay. Thank you, Tesla.

Starting point is 00:42:56 Right up there, man. Had to bring it back. How you feeling, brother? I'm feeling good, man. Running around. I'm on y'all show. I feel like you got a second win, Yayo. Like, it's been a-
Starting point is 00:43:04 Second win? Third win? Yeah. I mean, you know, I see the way 50 work, and I'm like, yo, around on y'all show i feel like you got a a second win yale like it's been a second win third win yeah i mean you know i see the way 50 work and i'm like yo when he always be like y'all lazy y'all lazy and i'm i'm just realizing like i thought i was working when i wasn't so during the covid it was just like a tough time like i'm sitting back wasn't no tours i'm like y'all gotta figure out other things to do so i started doing doing the music, and then I started, you know, messing with Vlad. Vlad TV. And I just started realizing when you put your presence out there to all these younger generation, the new kids that really don't know us, they know G-Unit.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Some people do remember, like, when I go on tour, it'd be like, yo, my father used to play, or my mom used to play G-Unit. So it passed down to that generation. So I'm going on my own tours, and, you know, I'm just myself valuable man putting that work in if it did that did that upset you when you heard you say y'all was lazy no not even that motivates me because at a point sometimes you do get lazy at our careers we was kind of spoiled think about it we had 50 where he was doing everything for us so as for like when we was coming out you had the young guns for instance i remember her vein saying jay is not gonna do what 50 does for Young Guns.
Starting point is 00:44:08 He was saying it in front of their face. Y'all got 50. Like, 50 was, you know, help us be in the videos. Right. Second, beg for that. When he dropped, when he sold 11 million records, he dropped Beg for Mercy. Yep, yep. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:18 I was in jail. You know, him and Eminem would shout me out. So I always show my love to them. I know how 50 is. He, you know, y'all the same sound. Y'all are crazy. You know, it's all good.
Starting point is 00:44:27 It's all good, you know, but it just motivates me to work because I see how he work. We'll be on tour. He'll leave tour to go on movie set, go back,
Starting point is 00:44:34 go to the gym twice a day. I'm tired, you know. I mean, the free ale movement was a movement within itself. Like, I don't think we talk about
Starting point is 00:44:41 that enough. I don't know why randomly I was thinking the other day about when they shouted you out of the I think it was the Grand Rally It was Eminem That's why I always shout out Eminem You know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:44:49 Because he didn't have to do that I was on Rikers Island C-73 too low Now this move right here This Your hand in front of the face Where did that move come from? Because you know of course
Starting point is 00:44:59 We've known you doing that for years Where did that come from? That really came because I was on the run Like I was at that point When we was in the club, I was running. Like, 50 was like, yo, he said to me, you know, we had this judge, Judge Wong in Queens, everybody know him, no joke. And he was like, yo, what are you going to do? You going to go to court or go on tour?
Starting point is 00:45:17 We blowing up now. Mixtapes are crazy. Boob Riggers playing us everywhere. I'm like, yo, I'm running. So I'm running. So how did John Cena just, I guess, jack it? John Cena. I know he gives you credit, but he does.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Yeah, John Cena said his little brother, I believe, did it. And his little brother dared him to do it. And I guess he did it in a match, and it just got crazy. When you seen Reese do it, what did you think? She made it. She took it to a whole other level. She brought it back. Had me trending for Shelton.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Shelton and Reese. Yeah, me trending for Shelton. Shelton and Jareesh. Yeah, me trending for, you know, the whole week. And then Caitlyn did it before her. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So it was just like, I mean, with that situation was crazy because like you said, a black girl did it and it was a problem.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Then when white girl did it beforehand, it was a problem. So I addressed that. You know what I mean? I talked about that too. That's crazy. I saw that on TMZ. When we playing ball in the hood, you know it's competitive. Whatever you do.
Starting point is 00:46:06 When you do your car shows, you in competition. That's right. I see you going, people, here, home, here. Y'all got the best car shows in the world. None of y'all can mess with me. I don't know how you're getting all these cars, too. You said it, not me. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:46:16 You know, so I told 50, you might as well just leave all his cars with you, bro. You know, 50 calls me, and he be like, let me get the car. And I'll give him back his car. You know, I usually have his Lambo or his Rolls Royce. And he'd drive it for one day, and then it sits. And then he loses the key, and then I got to go get it again. You don't even drive him. You need to let me borrow him.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I'm playing around, bro. I want to go back, right? I know you're a long time. Where do you think in your career happened where you didn't go to that next level, right? And I asked 50 that, and he said he thinks it was the picking of the wrong single what do you what do you think it was interesting i think it was just a lot of drama with interscope when i came home you know i mean you have 50 he was curtis i'm curtis interscope jackson you know and jimmy ivine you know you had game flipping and like it was
Starting point is 00:47:00 just confusing to me because i was on game album and then you know the game thing happened and it was like yo he's on the same label as us so why are they not just getting rid of him you know 50 so more records than the mo whatever it's like it was like a it was like a war in our own house because you had record you had the so seductive yes i had so seductive i had i know you don't love me and pimping right but you gotta remember i came in the midst of the 50 Cent Interscope drama. He was saying, f*** Jimmy Iovine. Yeah, I'm my own boss. You know how 50 get.
Starting point is 00:47:32 So I think sometimes, and at that point, we had so many enemies, it was like we wasn't getting a feature or nothing. Like we came to a point where we never used anybody. Like it was just me, Banks, and 50. You know, 50 never looked to do features with nobody. So you know how it is. It felt like everybody was against us at that point
Starting point is 00:47:50 because nobody really messed with 50 in the industry like that or messed with us. Let's be serious. Does it feel better now because I saw you out and about the other day and like it was you
Starting point is 00:47:57 and Pistol Pete and Uncle Murder. Yeah, it feel better. It feel good to have no drama with Fat Joe because Fat Joe, I was always a fan of Fat Joe. Jealous ones envy. You know, he was a real one. Pistol one pistol p he cool so it's like you get old and a lot of stuff
Starting point is 00:48:09 was just just hip-hop and i saw you say that was the realest beef g unit yeah fadjoe yeah fadjoe i guess you call that a compliment but that's a big compliment right because y'all i don't i don't look at the ja root thing it's like real but y'all had street beef forget the rap y'all had beef with yeah i look at i look at the i look at like the preams the world yeah i look at those kind of guys are like the real beefs the jimmy henchmen's those were like the the real beefs where it got real with the street guys but industry-wise it was you said terror squad was it yeah industry-wise terror squad okay why what makes that what makes it because i don't know it's just a whole bunch of crazy spanish dudes man what's the craziest story that you was like we might not make it out of here um i wouldn't say we we were scared but i could say uh it was the vibe awards when we seen shook
Starting point is 00:48:58 night and earth gotty and they walked past the trailer it is what it is we in new york but we in la you know i'm saying we new york dudes we in L.A. You know what I'm saying? We New York dudes. We in L.A. You know what I'm saying? So you see Suge Knight. You always heard about this guy. You know, TV, magazines.

James Cruz, you know, shout to him. He was a little. James Cruz is always in a situation. Industry guy. He got to run around with 50 bulletproof vests.
Starting point is 00:49:27 You know how Chris Lighty was in the trenches. It was crazy. So he just taps James Cruz and said, yo, go buy 20 knives. Go buy 20 knives? Yeah, just go to the hardware store. I'm like, because what are we going to do? Just seem, you know, it might get crazy. How many of y'all was it?
Starting point is 00:49:41 It was about 20 to 15 of us, something like that. So James Cruz goes to the hardware store by 20 knives he gives the bags 50 handing them out and then you know when we got there we had beef with fat joe at that point i remember we dr dre's there so you know that's obviously a beef with shug knight shug knight got like some crazy looking compton looking dudes with him you know what i'm saying so it just you felt the energy to where we had our chairs like this you're not even watching the show you're watching the show we had this like yo you felt the energy to where we had our chairs like this.

Starting point is 00:50:13 Yeah, pops on Dre Dre Falls, but he ordered my can get up start popping on him It just got crazy now I've started coming from everywhere and that's when you know one of the dudes got stabbed So my question is if there was 29 how come only young book didn't stab you up not that's when one of the dudes got stabbed. So my question is, if there was 20 knives, how come only Young Buck didn't stab him? Nah, that dude got stabbed in the chest. Young Buck stabbed him with a fork. I don't know where that came from. He said, how did he stab him with a fork?
Starting point is 00:50:31 Where'd he get that fork from? I don't know where you... He just came with the fork. Nobody gave Buck a knife? Nah, but no. I don't know. That's why I was tripping. I know I had one.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Everybody else did. You know what I'm saying? But matter of fact, him and Banks was backstage. They was about to perform and he just came with the fork. As soon as they started
Starting point is 00:50:51 talking that time, when they started to, we went back to the mansion after that happened because the kid got stabbed in the chest. He collapsed and everything. The fork wasn't nothing.
Starting point is 00:50:59 And we got back to the mansion and it was on the news. It was like, attempted murder, young Buck. Young Buck was like, I ain't do that, switch up with that time that's why i'll be staring out of trouble

Starting point is 01:02:44 Known as a figure In the neighborhood In any neighborhood No disrespect But I want to ask You know They've been trying to
Starting point is 01:02:50 Beat me up here The last Two three weeks Right If 50 And Wayne did a verse You can't ask How you gonna ask
Starting point is 01:02:56 Tony Ayo that He gonna have An objective opinion On that I think I think it's gonna be good But I mean You know
Starting point is 01:03:02 Wayne got a catalog too And Fifth got a catalog See Now I will say this There's a lot of records That they be good, but I mean, you know, Wayne got a catalog too, and Fifth got a catalog. See, now I will say this. There's a lot of records that they both have, so I mean, it'll be a dogfight. It'll be good. You know what Yale said that y'all don't say? He said catalog. And I find this respectful that they say Get Rich will just take out Wayne's whole catalog.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Nah, we got to go back. I didn't say that. You didn't say that. That's what you said. He's like, I can play eight songs off just Get Rich. I can play eight songs off Get Rich without trying Trying because Wayne does have a lot of songs. I say Wayne is a bigger artist when it comes to a rapper. Wayne has been doing this since, what, 12, 13 years old?
Starting point is 01:03:34 That I don't know about. But when it comes to cultural influence, you can't f*** with 50 and them trackers. I don't know if Wayne's bigger than Art. I don't think nothing was bigger than G-Unit, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Dr. Dre. Because you got to understand the element everything was crazy it was crazy like we have video games that was selling we had clothes that was selling right do we have cereal adam do we have cereal i think we had cereal that was selling we had everything socks like everything was selling and eminem was what at so 60 million
Starting point is 01:04:02 50 so 11 million it was crazy like I don't think that one thing is Wayne has the Nicki Minaj he has the Drake's he has the young money he has a huge kid with that right Drake and Drake and Nicki of course but when it comes to those cultural hits I don't think there's nothing bigger than them records that you play for 50 and like I said you could pick any Wayne record and I will destroy that one record with a record pick one record we had the street yo we had the street you got it you gotta no i'm talking about i'm talking about the mixtape where every nothing was playing but no i understand like acting like wayne didn't have this i'm just saying is that when it comes to that cultural influence of how a record feels we I don't think it can actually. We had kids wearing bulletproof vests in the suburbs, man.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Wayne had kids wearing the rock star jeans. Nah, that's right. That's right. The dress. Wayne is a legend. He started the dress. He started the dress. He started the dress.
Starting point is 01:04:55 But you got to remember this. We was on a little Wayne tour back in the days. We started. He started way ahead of us. And that's what I said. Wayne started so young. Remember when you had 50 out of beef? People forget about that. I forgot about that. When you're not pissing your vitamin water or something like that's what I said. Wayne started so young. Remember when you had 50 out of beef? People forget about that.
Starting point is 01:05:06 I forgot about that. When Wayne's not pissing your vitamin water or something like that. Oh, yeah. I remember that one. But they cool now, though. They did. All right. Well, don't move.

Starting point is 01:06:44 i'm gonna keep it real i don't know and this is before in this car this 150 was signed to sony i think in my mind i think prizewell said something like i don't know why like he must you know you think we he i think he said something keep it real i don't think why all the people you just named trust me that was the information that was you know i mean that prizewell said something to Ja Rule and them. So we in the room. You just hear a boop, boop, boop, commotion. These dudes come in like it's a movie. Like, yo, what's up now?
Starting point is 01:07:14 But they ain't got, it's no guns or nothing. It's nothing really. All you see is crutches and like stuff picked up from the studio. And I guess one of them had like a kitchen knife. So it was, was Irv there? No, it was Irv brother. I think it was Black Child at that point ja i think somebody else but so we started to get it on nobody turned off the light while we getting it on the light like turned off because you know how somebody
Starting point is 01:07:35 bumped into the switch so we fighting everything is dark you don't know what's going on you just hit melee so all you heard was get the gun youth bluffed him because the gun was in the other room. That's why I said, Ja Rule, he wouldn't even be here. He would have been gone. Like, our careers would have been totally different if that gun was in that room. And I swear on my dead father, like, I'm telling you the truth. The gun was in the other room. I've seen it.
Starting point is 01:07:58 You know what I'm saying? With my own two eyes. They come in. We get it on. Boom, boom, boom. Get the gun. They run out. 5th will speak at one of them.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I don't know if it was Irv Breva or whoever I see him throw a speak and say, get the gun Once they heard get the gun, everybody started running out But the gun was in the other room And that was it, 50 had a scratch on his back Right, and I got stabbed in my hands And my finger was like cut right here So it looked crazy
Starting point is 01:08:21 Because it was hanging a little bit But look, this is all I got that and that that was it You ever think about how blessed y'all are because think about all the violence y'all escape because you I ain't never even heard about the Shooting that happened before the young man got got slapped right now, but it's after that your mother house. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool But I always looked at it like this bro. If I slap your kid or your kid, what are you gonna? You're gonna you you got the right it's all gloves off and it's all good but then y'all g unit officers got shot up before yes y'all missed a lot of bullets is what i'm saying yeah tour bus mama crib like it was a lot of bullets you know it's crazy and
Starting point is 01:08:54 i always thank god like i always say my prayers before i leave the house because i remember one day i had a plaque and people won't even believe this story and a bullet fell out of it and my father found it he was staying with me at the time the next day my mom's crib got shot up or could have been the same day like but my mom's crib got shot up so i mean you know god is good bro a bullet like a plaque a bullet like i had a 50 cent plaque and it got bullets in it and it's above my door and my father found it he's like yo somebody shot the house up i'm like nah that fell off the plaque and the next day like my mom's crib got shot up so you get signs. You know to be low, and you got to move right.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Because one thing about us is we knew how to move. Like, all right, cool. If it's hot, cool. I'm good. Like, when my mom's crib got shot up, I went out there and was looking to do stuff. And 50 called me like, yo, bro, you outside. You got something on you. You bugging out, bro.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Use your brain, bro. It's chess, not checkers that's why i say you know it must have been like seven eight years ago to see you in 50 enjoying which i didn't have before but i mean because they couldn't go to the clubs and experience the records like y'all should have y'all couldn't go to these events and go to these things and it wasn't because of the rappers it was mainly because of the hip-hop police because there was times when it'd be like no g-unit no dip set in the clubs all the clubs in manhattan so hip-hop police you remember curly top he's retired now hip-hop police they all retired there's all new ones now for for the dudes that'll follow tj and all these dudes in the city and all the young dudes now but all them dudes are retired

Starting point is 01:13:51 It's Tony Ayo. Yeah, made it, mom. I'm on The Breakfast Club. Yeah. You've been up here before. Yeah, but I'm by myself now. All right. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club on this Friday. We got B. Scott, our guest host. Oh, yeah. I am here. It's time for the rumors.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Give us a little tease. A little tease. We're going to be talking about something that is actually really, really, really heavy. And that is the whole situation with Wendy Williams. It's B. Scott. The rumors are true, yeah. This is The Rumor Report. You love muffins have been asking me for quite some time on the breakfast club i wasn't going to come to you like when i had
Starting point is 01:14:32 it goes a little something like this when i tell you that intro gets me every time shout out to taylor who produced that taylor made it yes so this is a heavy situation and this is a situation that honestly it makes me really really sad it's like deep in my spirit i'm sad about this and it is in regards to wendy williams and most recently this story is pertaining to her brother so her brother is slamming the manager for signing her up to a reality show even though she is not in the right frame of mind he is really upset with tommy williams i mean tommy wins her brother but he's upset with the manager will shelby and just feels like she's not in any condition to be doing anything much less
Starting point is 01:15:23 a reality show situation. And I think we have a clip. Why are you even here? Do you see the conditions that she's in? Does it look like she's ready to start a podcast for goodness sake? It doesn't. We're all going to bear witness to this. Not nonsense.
Starting point is 01:15:37 This guy will is, is putting Wendy around, got her all out. Travel here, travel there. Let's go. Let's make this money. And i don't care if you're making sense talk to the show's gonna be where she was and where she is now is that the show is that it is that what my dad has to look forward to watching who wants these kind of memories why couldn't she just get better all the way and then just do something she hasn't been contemplating because she couldn't think it through but while everybody else is doing the contemplation for her
Starting point is 01:16:04 and saying she needs to do this that and the third she could have been down here recovered i think in a situation like that you i would listen to the brother right absolutely clearly the brother uh would know best in a situation like that he's been with his sister his whole life but if the brother's around i don't know if like because i'm sure the people that surround her in the last couple of years would know best right because they're around really you don't think so they know how she's feeling or how her mental is and all that two things here so number one for me initially it was me and daily mail that were breaking the exclusives back to back about wendy williams in terms of her husband having an affair then i broke
Starting point is 01:16:38 about the baby being on the way and then ultimately about know, repeated stories about the demise of the show. And I just want to say and make clear that I had no idea that we would end up here because I feel so sad for her. It hurts me. It just, you know, I mean, it's kind of like as a human being to see someone's demise. What we're witnessing is the demise of an individual. And regardless of what people may think of wendy williams is just really hard to see yeah by the way like like me saying that's that's obvious just looking at what we've been seeing the past couple of years and then number two i the question that i've been wanting to ask you for quite some time is that how do you feel and how has this been affecting you? Because you work with her for so many years. What is it like to see her in this state and to see it consistently continue to deteriorate?
Starting point is 01:17:38 That's a great question. I haven't really thought about it. I mean, it's hurtful for me and I didn't work with her. Yeah, of course, you don't like to see it. You never like to see anybody that is, you know, done what she's done for our business. You know, in like that, I always say, you know know i want i want our planes to land with the wheels out you know you don't want to see people you know the end of their situations crashing burn so to speak and that's what it's that's what it seems like this situation has done over the past few years feels like it's crashing and crashing and burning so of course of course i don't like that i meant to ask you never thought about reaching out because i know well how first of all how long did y'all work with each other we only worked with each other for three years i know that's what i was thinking like it was a short it just seems like a long time because it was impactful
Starting point is 01:18:13 yeah when did when did and her husband did a lot for me but it's like yo we weren't you're not best friends we might have been close at that time but it it's been, what, 15 years? And they also tried to sabotage you, correct? Well, yeah. You know, B. Yeah. I think it's that picture of you. Not her, though. Not her.
Starting point is 01:18:32 The husband. Yeah. I think it's that picture of you sitting on her lap. Oh, shut up. Oh, shut up. I mean, like, so. You love that damn picture. I do.
Starting point is 01:18:40 You got that picture hanging up on your wall somewhere, brother. How do you know? Well, no, I definitely see it. How do we navigate this, Charlamagne? How do we? I don't know, because Wendy has never historically let anybody in. You know what I mean? So it's just like right now, she's probably in a situation where all she got is herself.
Starting point is 01:18:56 But she does have a family that loves her. But if she's not letting that family in, how can anybody help her? I wonder if it was financial. And how do we know? It might be past the point of help. That's true. I was wondering if it was financially. Maybe they're doing this show
Starting point is 01:19:07 for finances because we know her money is locked up. And maybe she needs the money to pay for, you know, mortgage. Or maybe she don't even know what's going on. Or maybe she doesn't know
Starting point is 01:19:15 what's going on. You know what I'm saying? Maybe that's what Tommy is saying. She don't even know what's going on. It feels that way. It feels like she's just disoriented, discombobulated.
Starting point is 01:19:22 But at the end of the day I just want to send positivity to her. Absolutely. And just like, Lord Jesus, help us. Man. And that's all I got right now. That's all I got, too. Sending her healing and energy.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Thoughts and prayers. All right. All right, well, thank you for that rumor report. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour. We had a conversation earlier about artificial intelligence, but I really need to talk to y'all about how artificial intelligence, I feel, is going to ruin our society as we know it. We'll discuss.
Starting point is 01:19:51 I'm going to talk to y'all about AI scammers. I ain't seen Nyla up here. We were supposed to do a whole 50 Cent versus Lil Wayne. I think she's scared. I think Nyla Simone. If you know DJ Nyla Simone, you tell her, I want all the smoke this morning. And let me tell you something. She is so beautiful. She is beautiful. And then when she told me she beat
Starting point is 01:20:10 her own face, well, her makeup, I mean. You know, for people who don't know what that means. But she beat her face and it looked amazing. She did it herself. I sit here and pay for all of this, and she is doing it herself. When I introduced Nala and B Scott yesterday, I said, hey, Nala, this is B Simone, because I can bond their names.
Starting point is 01:20:27 Nala's last name is Simone. It's Nala Simone. I can bond their names. And shout out to B. Simone. We love you. We love you, B. Simone. All right. This is B. Scott.
Starting point is 01:20:35 That's right. Donkey Day is up next. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Monday, April 17th at 9 a.m. 8 Central. Me, DJ Envy, and Charlamagne Tha God host a breakfast club on BET. The evolution will be televised on a new set with top-tier guests.
Starting point is 01:20:54 The Breakfast Club, where real talk reigns. Starts Monday, April 17th at 9 a.m. 8 Central on BET. Just don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man hit me with the heel.
Starting point is 01:21:11 Did she get donkey in the name please tell me. Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. At the breakfast club bitches.
Starting point is 01:21:18 You're a donkey. Wow. He was trying to sabotage my life. No I'm not. You didn't tell her you didn't tell her she was supposed to be here.
Starting point is 01:21:23 Yes I did. Anyway Donkey of the Day for Friday April 14th is more of a PSA than anything. I feel like I just have to bring some public awareness to this latest scam that is happening. And it's going to be the first of many because humans have mutually assured our own destruction by opening the doors for artificial intelligence. I know, I know, technology. You know, Charlamagne, you're old. You have to embrace innovation. Listen to me.
Starting point is 01:21:47 Innovation is great. Okay, anything that can make our lives easier and better, I'm all for it. But artificial intelligence is not going to make our lives easier or better. It's going to make our lives harder and more difficult because one of the hardest and most difficult things for people to do over the last decade or so
Starting point is 01:22:02 is determine what's real and what's not and ai isn't going to blur the lines between reality and fantasy it's going to erase those lines period case in point uh the story the story i'm about to tell you all of arizona mom uh jennifer de stefano jennifer de stefano was at home minding her business and she got a phone call would you like to know what the phone call was about let's's go to CBS 5 for the report, please. Don't have the money, both you and your daughter are dead. Warning of close encounters with scammers who used artificial intelligence to clone her daughter's voice. Yeah, this is crazy.
Starting point is 01:22:35 They actually made her believe they had kidnapped her 15-year-old, and then they demanded a ransom. So as On Your Side's Susan Campbell found out, this is crazy. It doesn't take much of a voice sample to pull this scam off. The phone number was unfamiliar. Jennifer DiStefano almost let it go to voicemail. But her 15 year old was out of town skiing. Maybe there had been an accident. I pick up the phone and I hear my daughter's voice and it says mom and she's sobbing and then I hear a man's voice say put your head back lie down and this man gets on the phone he's like listen here I've got your daughter this is how it's going to go down you call the police you call anybody I'm going to pop her stomach so full of drugs I'm going to have my way with her and I'll drop her
Starting point is 01:23:20 off in Mexico and at that moment I just start shaking I'm like what in the background she's going help me mom please help, help me, mom. Please help me. Help me. And bawling. I never doubted for one second it was her. The person who had supposedly kidnapped Jennifer's daughter demanded money.
Starting point is 01:23:34 He started at a million dollars. I was like, I don't have a million dollars. I'm like, fine, whatever. Start my daughter. Then he wants $50,000. Humans. Dear humans. How are we okay with this okay how is anybody okay with this how come we are choosing to be obtuse to what is right around
Starting point is 01:23:51 the corner i don't like any of this ai stuff okay in fact my spider senses go off around anybody i see pushing it because i'm like that person might be an agent all right we live in a world right now where people can't even handle fake tweets so how the hell will we handle ai if you thought the misinformation campaigns in the 2016 and 2020 elections were nuts imagine what 2024 is gonna look like folks used to take videos and audios and edit them out of context to manipulate people now i can do deep fake videos and have ai simulation that can completely mimic my voice the inflection the emotion and we really want to unleash that evil on this already stupid ass american society okay which then will impact the world youtube social media the news y'all already running with a bunch of fake stories now what
Starting point is 01:24:35 happens when these news outlets start receiving audio leaks of audio leaks of fake ai conversations between world leaders threatening nuclear war, fake AI conversations from celebrities saying wild things about different groups right before they have a movie or TV show or book coming out, fake AI conversations between coworkers. Now you're running up on your coworkers because you heard they was talking spicy about you, and it's just AI. Fake AI conversations between your significant other and one of your homies. You're going to think your mate is cheating on you with your best friend because of AI.
Starting point is 01:25:06 And human emotions move at the speed of light. Nobody stops to think about what's real and what's not real. It's just all about what you feel. We don't filter facts. We filter feelings. And nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. But no, no, no. Y'all need AI.
Starting point is 01:25:21 Once again, I'm just raising public awareness because the article I read in the New York Post, a FBI agent said the only way to stop it is to raise public awareness. Now, if you're wondering how they are able to even get your voice in the first place, listen to this man whose name sounds like somebody on Mortal Kombat. I can't pronounce it. Sabero Kamabadi. He's a computer science professor at Arizona State University. He breaks it down.
Starting point is 01:25:44 You can no longer trust your ears. Subbaro Kamampati is a computer science professor at Arizona State who specializes in AI. He says voice cloning technology is rapidly improving. Now there are ways in which you can do this with just three seconds of your voice. So with the three seconds, it can come extremely close to how exactly you sound and you don't even need any special equipment i chose a free program for a test and i'm not actually talking it's a new toy and you know and and i think they could be great good users but certainly they can be pretty uh worrisome users too we have all these conversations about secret
Starting point is 01:26:24 societies and illuminati let me tell you something somebody has been planning this for the last 30 years at least probably longer and they've been patient think about how many decades of data they have on all of us video audio from black planet planet to myspace to facebook to twitter to instagram to tic tac they got us already all right there is no putting the toothpaste back into youtube y'all always having conversations about celebrities being cloned when the reality is they have cloned all of us already okay now by the way the situation in arizona with jennifer isn't it's not a one-time thing it happened to a woman named beth royce last month and it happened in december to a woman named
Starting point is 01:26:58 chelsea gates in both cases a man called threatened to kill a family member uh in beth's case her sister in chelsea case her mom and in the background beth and chelsea could hear their relatives crying and begging for help and the men demanded a thousand dollars and of course beth and chelsea sent the money okay i truly don't see how people can't see this coming now fbi agent dan mayo has some tips on what we should be looking out for we all should be making a note of this because this is about to be our new reality simply because humans can't help themselves. Listen.
Starting point is 01:27:28 You gotta slow down and diffuse the situation. The FBI's Dan Mayo says scammers who use voice cloning often find their prey on social media. They're gonna be looking for public profiles that have as much information as possible on you. And when they get a hold of that, they're gonna dig into you. The Federal Trade Commission says scammers will often ask their victims to wire money,
Starting point is 01:27:48 send cryptocurrency, or pay the ransom with gift cards. Once the money is gone, it's almost impossible to get it back. The phone numbers coming from an area code that you're not familiar with, that should be one red flag. Second red flag, international numbers, sometimes they will call from those as well. Third flag they will not allow you to get off the phone and talk to your significant other right that's a problem i'm gonna end this how i started it i don't like any of this ai stuff simply because i know you humans can't handle it i didn't even get into how chat gpt is gonna make people less creative and how it's gonna totally stop people from really flexing those brain muscles writers in hollywood y'all sure y'all want to go on a strike right now? Not to mention, if you let ChatGPT write a job proposal for you,
Starting point is 01:28:30 what happens when you actually have to sit with someone and explain that proposal yourself? Not to mention the millions and millions of jobs that are going to be lost. Tech jobs, media jobs, legal industry jobs, paralegals, legal assistants, you're done. Teachers, finance jobs, personal financial advisors advisors financial analysis financial analysts it's a wrap for y'all okay my advice build a wall around silicon valley before it's too late the job in life you save might be your own please give all these people already manipulating manipulating ai to scam folks the biggest he all it's tick tock not tick tack i know i know what i was doing let me just say this the ex your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold is it a read
Starting point is 01:29:14 it's amazing i'm reading my room no i'm impressed like to be excited it was a read it's a read but you're so good at it well thank you thank you. I was in awe of it. I was like, wow. I appreciate that. I mean, you were hitting and hitting and hitting and clip, bop, bop, doop, doop. I was like, okay. Thank you. Can't do it without the producer. That is why Charlamagne is here.
Starting point is 01:29:34 Thank you. Appreciate that. You did that. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Hey. Taylor, I hope you got that. All right. Now, when we come back, shout to Nala Simone.
Starting point is 01:29:48 She ain't here. She a little scared. No, she's not. This morning we were supposed to be doing our own battle. Our own versus up here. We were supposed to be doing 50 Cent versus Lil Wayne. She's supposed to do a Lil Wayne four-minute mix. I'm doing a four-minute mix.

Starting point is 01:30:14 I know what you want. Which one you want? Heads. Oh, my God. All right. Oh, my God. And you want tails because you a bottom. I'll bet you it's tails.
Starting point is 01:30:23 You a bottom. I'll bet you it's tails. Oh. bottom. I'll bet you it's tails. Oh. Huh, huh. It's heads. Mama said you a pretty girl. All right, Nylah goes second. I'll go first.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Starting point is 01:36:42 I was very disappointed. I'm not opposed to anybody who picks 50 Cent. Just. I'm not opposed to anybody who picks 50 Cent. Just like I'm not opposed to anybody who picks Lil Wayne. But it's just a disrespect when they say one album can take out Wayne's whole catalog. It's disrespectful. B. Scott, what do you think? Lil Wayne or 50 Cent? Lil Wayne.
Starting point is 01:36:56 It was a versus. Lil Wayne. Easy decision. Okay. Didn't hesitate. B. Scott didn't hesitate. B. Scott.
