Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
You better have the same energy.
Monica. Hey, guys.
Hey, Breakfast Club. Hey, Monica. What's happening?
Good morning. Get it off your chest.
Listen.
Would you have seen a guy who was making
minimal wages, but everything
is good with him. Meaning that
sex is good. His conversation is
good. Energy is good. He just
don't have a lot of money.
But where does he work at?
He works at security.
Okay. Because security's a good
job. How old is he?
He's in his early 40s.
But I just don't, like,
it's just that when we out, I can't
have to build, you know,
like, he just doesn't.
He just doesn't.
This is how you know girls don't really be wanting love.
Y'all don't really be wanting love like y'all say y'all do.
Because you said this man is cool.
He got everything else.
But you worried about how much money he make.
This is how I know y'all really don't be wanting love.
You need to stop lying to yourself.
I'm just trying to figure it out.
Like, would you date someone like that?
Well, you are.
And you're happy.
The only thing you're not happy
about is having to pay for stuff all the time.
No, no, no, no. That's not the
only thing. I'm just, but if, you know,
you come in short, if you come in short
all the time, will that become an
issue later in life?
That's what my concern is.
As long as you're not making more money, it's going to always be an issue.
I think the concern is more about his aspirations and what
is it that he wants to do for himself, right?
Well, if my goal is pushing him to do better or pushing him to even look for a better job,
he may be content with what he's doing, and that's the problem right now.
Okay, so you don't—
He's okay with making his minimum wage, and I'm looking like a bigger picture.
Have you had the conversation with him?
Of course.
And what did he say?
I don't know.
You can't force no one to do something
if they don't have the willpower to do it themselves.
You can tell them all day long.
Yeah, he probably don't have the aspiration.
To do better and look for better, but if they're not pushing to do it,
then you're, like, talking to a ball.
But are you willing to lose love over some money?
That's the dilemma.
Oh, my God.
I know, s***.
Like, I'm thinking long-term, though.
I'm not.
When you're up to age, you're not dating just to be dating.
You're thinking, like, this needs to be a husband material, not a little boyfriend.
And I will say, it's not just about the money.
It's about his motivations in life, right?
So that's my thing.
If I don't see that you're eager to do better, then how can I see the long term in you?
If I see that you can sit with a mediocre job
that's making $10,000, $12,000 an hour
and you're not pushing for greatness,
how is that?
That's more what the issue is.
I don't want to go further with that.
That's my thing.
You do realize most Americans want a better job, right?
Most Americans want a career.
A lot of those things aren't available.
Yeah, but if he's not trying, that's
really an issue. When people are motivated and
trying and going hard. I can tell you
all day long to go apply every
day for a job. I can tell you all day long.
Yeah, but he might not be
motivated by money. He might just enjoy life.
He might not want to work as hard
and work harder. He likes his job. He likes the money
that he gets and he loves you. I don't see the problem
with it. How about Americans want jobs
but not low paying hourly work
when a lot of jobs aren't available?
I understand all
that. I truly do. But you
looking at long term like mortgages
and bills and stuff that needs
to be paid. You got goals in life.
And you work hard.
I work
a pretty decent job.
So if anything,
I'm looking like
if I stay in this situation,
I'm going to be
in front of most
of the darn bills.
So it shouldn't matter.
You know,
I ain't going to front it.
The money shouldn't matter
if you love somebody
because then what you're going to do,
you leave this dude
and you find somebody
that makes a bunch of money.
He cheats on you.
He doesn't treat you right.
But yes,
he pays most of the bills.
I hope you get laid off.
I hope you get laid off.
And then you'll understand what love is.
Tell me, that's so mean.
I hope you get laid off and all he got
is that little minimum wage job.
And then you'll really appreciate
that love and what he brings to the table.
But we can't tell her where her priorities should be in a relationship
if it's important to her to have somebody.
You always find trouble with somebody.
You always cause trouble. No, I hope I don't get laid off.
But I hope he finds a better job.
Yes, there you go.
She wants him to get motivated.
All right.
He might be motivated.
He might just enjoy what he's getting.
Love you more.
Good morning.
Bye.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Wake up. wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Keith, what's up, Keith?
What's up, man?
Hey, I'm mad at Charlamagne, man.
When he came to Dallas, man, I gave him a dope sh** Mattersweat shirt.
It's a brand me and my homeboy started.
And, man, he took it, but he treated it like a mixtape
because he ain't never rocked it.
What's it called?
A Dope Stuff Matters?
Yeah, but sugar, honey, iced tea in the middle.
I was at the book thing.
I gave you the...
I think I did wear that shirt, bro, bro.
I'm not sure.
I thought I did.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
If you did, I appreciate that.
Hey, man.
Don't quote me on that, man.
I worry, too.
Well, hey, if you rocked it around the house, I still appreciate it, man.
You ain't treat it like a mix.
Nah, I had it on with no drawers.
I was like Winnie the Pooh.
That's a little too much information, brother.
JB.
What's going on, Envy, Angel, Ye, and the God?
Hey, JB.
What's up, JB?
How you doing?
What's up?
Get it off your chest, bro.
What's JB stand for?
Just B****s?
Man, I'm kinky this morning, man. Where you doing? What's up? Get it off your chest, bro. What's JB stand for? Just B****s? You're not kinky this morning, man.
Where did that come from?
Yeah, man.
Shout out my son, Josiah, man.
My four-year-old baby boy, man.
He's an inspiration for me changing my life around.
I got a new promotion at my job, and with the extra money, I be able to promote my brand,
Rich Fatherhood.
Check me out on Instagram, man.
Rich Fatherhood. I like out on Instagram, man.
Rich Fatherhood.
I like that.
I like that.
Now say it with a little enthusiasm.
Rich Fatherhood.
Rich Fatherhood.
I got them for the mothers, too, man.
Rich Motherhood.
I got some good, good, good out there, man. Check me out.
All right, brother.
Kersi.
Hi.
Oh, my God.
Okay, I got to her again.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I love every single day.
So just wanted you guys opinion.
That's it.
If I could keep going or not.
That's all.
Sing a little bit of it.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
Seriously.
No.
Go.
That was it.
I tell my girls in the club tonight.
I ain't worried about a thing tonight.
If you get back home
Just continue going
Then leave all alone
Woo!
Man, heard it all before.
I feel like I've heard that type of record
20 million times already.
You probably got to hear it as a real song and everything.
You and the girls going to the club tonight?
You can sing, though.
No, you definitely got to listen to it
so it's different.
Okay.
All right.
We'll check it out, mama.
We got to get you a new phone.
The only way you can write a record about going to the club with your girls and it be
different is if you tell the truth about standing in line to get in free before 11.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm serious.
I mean, there's not too many songs that don't have a theme we haven't heard before, though.
That's not true.
Mary Bell.
Hi.
Hey, fam.
Hey, fam.
Hi, fam.
Hey, fam.
What's up, fam?
Get it off your chest.
What's it called?
We're up at three in the morning, so we're calling you guys.
Oh, y'all in Cali.
What's up, LA family?
What's up, guys?
What's up, fam?
Where the hell y'all been?
Trying to get through.
We've been calling you, but we just haven't gotten through.
Exactly.
We thought you got locked up or something.
No, God, no.
No.
Well, okay.
And then we want to do a shout out to Bernard at Foot Locker.
He's our new member in our Breakfast Club crew.
All right.
What's up, Bernard?
What's up, Bernard at Foot Locker?
Can I get the discount when I'm in town in Foot Locker?
Oh, yeah. I'll let him know. I'll let him know. All right. Thank you., Bernard? Can I get the discount when I'm in town? In Fort Lauderdale? Oh, yeah.
I'll let him know.
I'll let him know.
All right.
Thank you.
I'll leave myself in there.
All right.
Bye, y'all.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Have a great Friday.
Millie.
Hi.
How are you?
Millie's stressed out, guys.
What's the matter?
Very.
So I've been dating, and it seems like every guy I date, they always tell me, like, I would make the perfect wife, but it never gets anywhere.
Damn.
Why would they tell you that?
That's the worst thing you could tell a person.
You would make the perfect wife.
Do they make the perfect husbands?
There's one.
Okay, not the rest of them.
What is it about you that is your macaroni and cheese trash?
Like, why don't you make the perfect wife?
No, my macaroni and cheese is great, I think.
How about body odor?
Great.
Okay.
Vagina?
From what I'm told, perfect.
Nah, you didn't answer that with the same confidence as the mac and cheese.
What about breath?
I mean, I don't have any.
I'm not blessed on the top, but I'm blessed on the bottom.
Hey.
No, he said breath, not breath.
Just want to throw that out there, okay?
Because honestly, the way you said that is like, yo, I'm blessed at the top, meaning your breath is cool, but at the bottom is a little older.
That's how you got to listen, you know?
Well, I'm sorry, mama.
Did you try Christian Mingle?
No.
Maybe that's what you should try.
You'll find the right one, baby.
I mean, I like thugs, so.
There you go.
Where you from?
Maybe that's my problem.
Jersey.
Oh, if you like thugs, you go North, Patterson.
Damn, that was a terrible thing to say.
Well, no, no, no, no.
Definitely not going there.
I mean, I think my problem is, you know, New York guys.
A lot of New York guys. Well, stay out of Harlem, Brooklyn, and Queens. Where should you go? I, you know, New York guys. We're getting a lot of New York guys.
Well, stay out of Harlem, Brooklyn, and Queens.
Where should you go?
I don't know where she should go.
Why are you telling her to stay away from these places?
I don't know.
Well, good luck, Mama.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
And we're losing daylight fast.
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs,
the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a
chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know,
follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. 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.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best
and you're going to figure out
the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys,
like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty
on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Amara La Negra.
Yanzan.
Thank you guys so much for having me back.
And you know, last time I was here, it was very intense.
So this time around is going to be so much better.
I don't think it was intense.
I think social media
made it intense after the fact,
but I don't think it was intense.
We were good.
You was at the Brooklyn Nets game.
Shout out to the Brooklyn Nets.
And what player was trying to get in your DMs?
Oh, I ain't telling.
Which one about Brooklyn Nets?
Let me tell you something. If I were to say all the athletes and rappers that slide up in my DMs,
there would be a lot of broken marriages.
So let me be in my best behavior, okay?
That's a compliment, though, right?
I mean, not a compliment.
She don't want to break up no marriages.
That you're wanted so much.
Something like that.
But you know what?
It also depends because what exactly do you want me for?
Exactly.
You know what I'm saying? If you're just trying to get my goodies,
it ain't going to happen.
Now let's talk about Jessie Wu, because she accused you
of allegedly trying
to holler at her man.
That's the shady turn away, Amara.
She said that you told him,
do you ever cheat on your girlfriend?
See, when she threw a bottle
at me and everything else,
everything was gravy.
I try to be very calm and collective. I always
try to think before I act and sometimes I'd be having
a delay because, you know, I'm
trying to process how to handle the situation
because I think about my image.
I think about those things too.
I think about everything before I react. So
when she did that, you know, I was whatever.
But the moment she mentioned my mama,
my mama, it's a wrap.
We're not having that.
I'm going to have no respect towards you whatsoever.
So since you mentioned her, I really wouldn't like to use my airtime right here right now with y'all to talk about her.
So therefore, I won't mention her name.
However, I have no need to be trying to get anybody else's man because I already have enough trying to get at me.
Like I already have enough dudes trying to holler at me. So there's no need for me to try to holler anybody else's man because I already have enough trying to get at me. Like I already have enough dudes
trying to holler at me.
So there's no need for me
to try to holler at anybody's man.
Not to mention the fact
that if I were to see him today,
I don't even remember how he looks.
The truth of what happened was
I was having a meeting with my team
and she came to my meeting
because she wanted my manager
to manage her.
So I was handling myself
for Girl Talk, a TV show
that I'm working on. Yada yada.
She comes with her man.
Her man decides to sit down at the table.
We were talking about Girl Talk.
And the question was.
Would you forgive your spouse if they cheat on you?
A lot of people said no.
A lot of people said yes.
The question went around the table.
Okay.
It wasn't that it was just you and me.
There were like six people in the table.
My manager took her aside.
So they could have their business meeting.
And then she came back.
She wasn't even there.
So I don't know what happened when he left or when they left.
He gassed it up.
It was funny how this happened like a year ago.
And then when she was on the show, all of a sudden, she wanted to bring this topic up.
Not to mention that she's not even with the guy anymore.
So that makes you even look crazier.
So, you know.
We know everybody needs a storyline on Love & Hip Hop.
I know.
And conflict sells.
Everybody wants to be part of my storyline.
I get it.
And that's why I was shocked when they said, you know, you let them throw a bottle at you.
Like, I feel like you would avoid all conflict on Love & Hip Hop.
And I apologize even for something that I didn't do just to create the piece.
Does the violence make you want to quit the show?
Of course. you know, because
I don't have that type of drama.
I'm very anti-confrontational.
It's like a Libra thing. But then again, I do
know what I got myself into. Realistically,
whether you see me on social media, you see me in real life,
I'm always the same person. For the most part,
I try to be very wise on how I handle
every situation. Now, what is
the problem that Bobby Lights
has with you? I don't even understand
where those issues stem from because he
seems to think that you're fake and
you're not this great person. Everybody thinks that I'm fake.
Everybody thinks that I'm fake and I understand how
a lot of people see me in the
spotlight and see me being
successful and see me here and there
and she's in a cover and she's this and she's doing
that fake ass
and all these other things. We're all given the same opportunities.
We're all on the same platform.
We all have the same amount of airtime.
How come you ain't popping?
Put in the work.
Well, listen, the person whose name you don't want us to mention, Jessie Wu,
she said your storyline last season about colorism was done for sympathy.
Yes.
Is that true?
Well, you see, I'm very understanding.
You see this? I understand how a lot of people that didn't know about me before loving hip hop just think that I came out of the blue.
But if you go back into interviews many, many, many years ago, I have been an activist for the Afro Latino community for a very long time.
It just so happens to be that it took loving hip hop, American platform, for the people to actually listen to me.
So you just can't, oh, that I did it
for sympathy. I don't have to gain sympathy out of that
because realistically, if it's also about talent,
I'm talented. I don't have to do
that. If I decide to
do anything besides music
like Love & Hip Hop or reality show where
I'm being maybe slightly ratchet,
I know what I'm doing as well.
I think things through very well. So, Julian,
was you trying to create a sympathy line
for Jesse Wu? No. Oh, why?
You like that? You seem to like that conversation.
Not really. Okay, great.
Because I don't care to entertain it
either. Great. Alright, we have more with
Amada LaNegra. When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Amada La Negra is here from Love & Hip Hop Miami.
Charlamagne?
Yeah, I think that's whack when you experience a little bit of hard luck
and a few bad things happen to you and you blame it on your friend putting roots on you.
No, and then that she ain't got no man.
Okay, well, that's something you need to work on your own.
Oh, that you have beef with your friends?
Well, maybe you should control your mouth.
Oh, that your store hasn't sold any clothes?
Well, maybe you should have better clothes.
Find a marketing team.
Find something.
I mean, f***.
Y'all ain't f***ing never before.
Hell no.
Jesus Christ.
Hell no.
Y'all, that's the point of no return.
Listen, the same thing goes for anybody that mentions my mother is a rap.
Just like Jessie, she did the same thing.
She said, even in reunion. In reunion, right, because she likes a rap. Just like Jessie, she did the same thing she said even in reunion.
In reunion, right, because she likes to put this act like she, oh, billy.
Are you signed to NDA now?
You know you can't speak on the reunion.
She was about to tell us something, Charlamagne.
Why did you ruin that?
You're right.
No, just say it, just say it.
Can I say it?
What the hell is wrong with this guy?
All right, exactly.
I'm not trying to be like her, but just know this much.
Besides the fact that she said you and your mama can get it,
I know that my English is not very good looking sometimes,
and I don't be understanding, but, okay, I understand.
You and your mama can get it.
No, I can go either way now.
A guy can look at you and your mama and be like,
yo, you and your mama can get it.
No, she said that, and then on top of that,
she went on social media talking about when my mother said beat her ass.
Obviously, I think any parent would.
If you see that your kid gets a glass
bottle thrown at you and I
didn't do nothing, I didn't even
try to attack her back.
My mother said if you see her again,
beat her ass if she comes for you. Of course.
I think any mother would have said the same thing. Is it the right thing
to say? Maybe not. But then that's what she said
and she said, here's the difference in
between my mother that's a professional nurse. And she said, here's the difference in between my mother
that's a professional nurse
for 35 years
and a woman that flips empanadas
for a living or whatever.
That really pissed me off too.
And I have it as well.
You know,
I thought that was f***ed up
because thanks to that lady
flipping empanadas,
I am where I am today.
By the way,
I was hoping,
I was hoping you were going to bring
some of those empanadas
Cause they look amazing
I should have bought my mama
And something that I'm very proud of as well
That I want to put it out there is
After so much work and sacrifice
I was finally able to buy my mama a house
And that makes me feel very proud
You know
A little seven bedroom
Five little bathroom house
And she can't complain now
How many people are living in this house?
Just the two of us
In a seven bedroom?
Okay.
You know what?
You have to think big.
Think big.
I'm very ambitious.
I think big.
And I think that, you know, five years from now when I come back, I will be in a better place.
You had the babies.
So let me tell you about my career.
My music is doing great.
And this EP called Unstoppable is available everywhere.
You guys can go download it.
I'm promoting this single called Celebra featuring Mesia Unstoppable is available everywhere. You guys can go download it. I'm promoting
this single called Celebra
featuring Mesia, which is really cool.
This book is really good.
Yeah. Actually, let
me stop. Look, I don't talk about my
personal life. I'm very private. That's
why nobody has ever seen me or seen anything
or anybody that I date. And I have dated
celebrities in the past. But
Alshar and I are just really good friends.
True.
There you go.
Okay.
Okay.
But you are in a relationship with somebody now.
You're seeing someone.
I'm talking to someone right now, yes.
Is it Usher?
No.
Oh, okay.
Is he, okay.
It's Usher.
Is he in the entertainment business?
Perhaps.
Okay.
Are you in love?
I am getting to know him
I am very protective of my heart
Because you have to be
Especially as a woman
You know how to spell his first and last name?
I do
Spell it
No, I'm waiting
What about if it doesn't happen the way that I planned?
Would that scare you from dating somebody?
What?
If they had herpes
I don't think so It depends What about if it doesn't happen the way that I planned? Would that scare you from dating somebody? What? If they had herpes?
Um, I don't think so.
It depends.
I mean, I know there's medications, there's treatments.
And I think that also people are very ignorant on the topic.
So you just think herpes and you think, oh, my God, I'm going to get it.
I'm going to die.
Or, you know, don't get next to me.
I got the herpes.
Like, I just think that once you get informed on it, then there's ways of. Yeah people have it. Yeah. You have to stop the stigma of, oh, man.
It's a terrible stigma around it, and it's really not like people think it is.
Right, right.
So I just think that once you get informed, there's ways to go around it, and you can have a happy, you know, life.
You can have an outbreak once and never have one again, I guess, right?
And you only can get it if the person's having an outbreak.
You should have seen how I looked at me just now.
Oh, you're so sweet.
But, um, yes,
no. I keep my personal library to myself.
Yes, no.
But, uh, yes, no.
Right, right, no.
But congratulations on everything.
Congratulations on Unstoppable.
I know you have a full-length album coming out
soon, too, this year.
Word.
Samara LaNegra, it's The Breakfast Club.
It's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us.
If you watch The Kardashians, this is what happened, and then we'll explain.
Let's play the audio.
He was really upset. She was putting her in the car, and Penelope scratched her face.
If a kid scratches you, can you pop the kid in his cool?
No, but you could also say something to her in the moment.
I'm sorry, but if he scratched me for no reason,
I'm whipping her ass, and I'll explain to y'all later.
What?
I would whip her ass if she scratched me.
You would whip Penelope's ass if she scratched you?
What the f*** are you talking about?
You would whip my daughter's ass if she touched you?
Now you explain what they're talking about.
But yes, we're talking about Corey Gamble,
that's Kris Jenner's boyfriend,
said that if Penelope,
who is Kourtney Kardashian's daughter, scratched him in the face,
he would whoop her ass. Right.
Now, I actually hit my
niece when I was younger.
I didn't know no better. I popped her on the hand
and I was wrong for it. I felt funny
for it. She was acting up
and I popped her and I had a conversation with her
dad and we talked about it. It wasn't
no big problem. Was he mad?
No, he wasn't mad at all.
I remember my grandmother beating
me for spraying rope spray on the
stove just so I could see the flames go up.
That's your grandma, though. Your grandma
is your big mama. You know what I'm saying? Your grandma
is the person who used to beat your parents.
So being that you came from her
chairing, okay, she has the right
to put her hands on you. Grandma really
might be the only person. And I sprayed the
road spray, and then I said something to
Grandma, like, don't hit me. And then when my dad
got there, my dad beat me for talking
to his mother like that. Exactly. See, you're looking at
Grandma and Granddaddy might be the only person that have the
rights to do that, but I mean, me personally...
He's kind of like a granddaddy, though. Who?
What's his name, Yee? Corey Gamble? Yeah, he's kind of like a granddaddy though. Who? What's his name?
Corey Gamble?
Yeah,
he's kind of like a grandfather.
No,
he's not.
Why is he a grandfather?
He's the grandfather.
Oh,
he's the step grandfather.
No,
no,
but he's not by blood. But they're not married.
He's not by blood.
The moral of the story
is I don't beat my children.
I don't beat my children
because I just don't see the need.
You know what I'm saying?
And furthermore,
I think that you can just
have a conversation with kids,
but I'm definitely not
putting my hands
on nobody else,
child.
Like,
if you put your hands on somebody else, child,
then me and you got smoke immediately.
There is never a reason for you to put hands on my children.
And what if I don't beat my kids, but you hit my kids?
Well, I've never ever hit anybody else's kids either.
I have three godchildren.
I'm the number one babysitter.
Actually, I feel like when I'm babysitting, my responsibility
is just to spoil other people's kids.
I don't see nothing wrong with that. That's what you should do.
That's all I do. As a godparent. They're always like,
okay, I'm going to see Angela, so I already know
what we're going to do. We're going to go shopping. We're going to go buy some new
toys. We're going to get ice cream.
My grandma hit me with an ashtray one time.
I did stupid stuff.
I deserved it, though. I deserved it.
Listen, we all... It fixed me, straightened me right up. No, it didn't. So it's okay for us to hit you? No, it didn I deserved it Listen we all It fixed me
Straightened me right up
No it didn't
No it didn't
Listen we all got beaten
When we were kids
I got beaten with extension cords
My dad used to beat me
With an extension cord
Made me go take a bath
I used to have to
Go pick the switch
I had them little
Wooden utensils
On the freaking
Kitchen wall
My mama would hit me
With those
But guess what
If we being honest
All of that was just abuse
And the truth to the matter is
All our parents was doing was the best they could.
They were probably young parents at the time.
That's the only way they knew how to discipline was through physical punishment.
We know better in this generation.
We don't got to beat our kids.
And we damn sure shouldn't be putting our hands on nobody else's.
Kendra.
Yeah.
Good morning, Kendra.
You ever hit somebody else's kids?
Yes, I have. Why?, Kendra. You ever hit somebody else's kid? Yes, I have.
Why?
Uh-oh.
I was actually inside the grocery store,
and the little white kid called me the B word.
A bitch?
So I give his mom a chance.
Yeah.
So I give his mom a chance to reprimand him, you know,
like, hey, you don't do that.
That's disrespectful.
It was shit.
So he called me the B word again. He was like, hey, you don't do that. That's disrespectful. He was s***. So he calls me the
B word again. He was like, bitch,
hurry up.
And I popped him in his mouth.
You got me f***ed up.
Hey, Kendra, Kendra!
Kendra, you can't walk around. That's abuse.
Her mama should have dragged.
Her mama should have dragged your ass.
And then locked you up. You can't just be hitting kids you don't know.
You don't even know this kid.
How about if he had Tourette's? I gave his mom a chance. Her mama should have dragged your ass in that store. And then locked you up. You can't just be hitting kids you don't know. You don't even know this kid. Hey.
Why would if he had Tourette's?
I gave his mom a chance.
Why would if he had Tourette's and he had a problem and he would just be splurting out,
bitch, bitch, bitch, and you just pop the kid in the mouth?
Nah, come on now.
See, then I would have felt bad.
But see, she didn't say none of that.
She was just like, yeah, hurry up.
And just like stood by her son's side.
So she left him out with her ass too.
You got what did the mama do to you after you hit the child?
Nothing.
She just kind of looked at me like, I can't believe you hit my son.
And I just looked at her.
I was like, yo, you got a problem?
I said, we can go out to the parking lot.
Boy, y'all some brave souls.
Because then you were about to fight the mom?
If that lady would have pulled out a gun and shot you right there,
she'd have been in the right.
Because the story would have been a woman hits somebody's child in the store.
Not even that crazy black woman.
Yeah, crazy black woman
hits a white little kid in the store.
A white woman, she guns her down.
Kendra, where you from?
I'm from Chicago.
Yep, yep, makes sense.
Hey, bitch, hurry up and get off my phone.
My goodness.
Hello, Sandra.
Hey.
Is it okay to discipline somebody else's child?
Hey, I think it's perfectly fine.
I have two children, and I have a boyfriend that's helping me raise them.
And he's there.
He's playing daddy.
He does everything with them.
And when my six-year-old gets out of line, it's perfectly fine for him to discipline them.
I don't like that, especially being that you got your little boyfriend putting your hands on your children
because you don't know what kind of trauma
your boyfriend might have. Your boyfriend
might be going through something and sometimes
he might be mad and take it out on the kids.
Hey, I mean, everything is done with
me present. I think that if
I'm there and
he's not beating him and
hitting him with
anger, I think it's perfectly fine.
What if the father, right, what if his girlfriend would hit your kid?
Well, I guess I'm a little different because our dynamic is a little different.
My boyfriend communicates directly with my son's father.
And, you know, we share our custody of him.
So, you know, he gets out of line and he gets a pop, that's fine.
As long as it's not like a beating
or, you know, I'm just flashing you. If you have
to pop him on his hand or, you know,
pop him on his butt with your hand,
I think it's perfectly fine.
Thank you, Mama. And that's the other thing people
don't take into consideration. Sometimes you out
and about in America and life is kicking
your ass all day and then you come home
and you find out your kids did something wrong
and you take out that pain on them. Man,
please. No way, Jose.
Keep it locked. We have more coming up next. It's The Breakfast
Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building. Yes,
indeed. Dr. Claude Anderson. Welcome,
sir. Well, thank you all for inviting me.
I'm glad to be here. Looks like I'm in good company.
Yes, you are. Good morning. You know, you've been a very requested guest. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. People are thank you all for inviting me. I'm glad to be here. Looks like I'm in good company. Yes, you are. Good morning.
You know, you've been a very requested guest.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People are always like, you got to have Dr. Claude Anderson on.
You got to have Dr. Claude Anderson on for years.
People have been saying that.
Well, you know why?
I've been paying him well to ask you that.
Is that what Powernomics is?
No, Powernomics is specifically dedicated to trying to inform black folk
and trying to elevate them to a higher level of competitiveness in the society
and overcome the primary legacies of slavery and centuries of Jim Crow semi-slavery in the South.
We're in a very dangerous situation in this country as black folk,
and this next year is going to be our last chance to get out of it.
I thought you were going to say it was going to be our last year period.
I wouldn't doubt that either.
That's pretty close.
You're in a very dangerous situation.
After all my years in politics
and national politics
and international politics,
that's why I left government
saying that somebody
had to get out here
and start raising cane
on behalf of black folk.
What did you do in government?
Oh, I was Assistant Secretary
of the United States Department of Commerce,
the first black.
I was also a Chairman
for Economic Development
for governors.
Also, I was only black to be appointed to be over the government's property disposal program,
which means my signature alone, I can give we all kind of federal property to anybody.
And also I was educated for over the entire state of Florida education system for about eight years.
And so I've been around the bond for a long time.
But I finally dawned on me that somebody got to get out here
and start raising cane on behalf of black folk.
How do we catch up?
We're so far behind.
How do we catch up to make sure that we can play in the same game
or even on the same field?
Well, the first thing I have to do is go back and correct what we've never done.
In all my years in national politics and international politics,
most of the people you all are very familiar with by name,
they never, never, never addressed the primary problems of black folk.
Our primary problem was not social integration or civil rights.
The primary problem is you never corrected the legacies and burdens of slavery.
See, the whole point of slavery was to do what?
They never asked that.
It was to socially engineer black folk into the lowest level of a real-life monopoly game,
which means that they've maldistributed almost 100% of all this nation's land, resources, rights, privileges,
business, and controls of all levels of governments into the hands of the dominant white society.
Black folk haven't got a snowball's chance of ever being a competitive people.
You might struggle if it lasts another two or three years, but it's going to wipe you out pretty soon.
You came out of slavery in 1860 having one half
of 1% of this nation's wealth.
Here you are 150 years later
and guess what? You still own one half
of 1% of the wealth. And in a nation
of a race-based society, it's what
you own and control that determines your equal
opportunities and your rights and privileges.
It doesn't have anything to do with civil rights.
That's a waste of time. It doesn't have anything to do
with voting, but that's an intellectual masturbation process.
They ain't going to do you any good.
What you need is owner control, wealth, and power.
They said intellectual masturbation.
I heard you say that earlier on something I was watching.
You said they get off, but it does nothing for them.
You got it down pat, bro.
That's like you starving to death.
Somebody give you a steak, you rub it outside your stomach.
They ain't going to do you any good.
They ain't doing a damn thing for you.
I said, no, quit playing with black folk.
So when I left the president, I ran a campaign, I guess.
Well, let me go back.
I guess I've been very privileged in all my years.
I'm 85 now, so I reached a peak.
I don't have to get along with anybody anymore.
Man, that's a beautiful feeling.
That's one of the enrichments of age.
But I decided after all the years of playing politics,
I guess I was privileged in the sense of being the only black in the nation ever
was a campaign manager, not in a campaign,
but a campaign manager for governors, for presidents, for attorney generals,
for state legislators and congressmen.
No other blacks had that.
I felt for that reason I had an obligation to get out here and do something for black folk.
And so I don't play any games with black folk.
I have most of the friends I know that you all
probably have on your shows.
They're just trying to get some self-indicement
elevation. I don't need it.
And what did you think about Kamala Harris and
Cory Booker? I know you said voting is an illusion.
They're probably nice people. They ain't gonna do anything for black folk.
You see, I have
yet to this day ever heard or seen not one president,
not one candidate for public office ever get up and say,
here's what I'm going to do for black folk.
That violates the entire premise of politics.
Politics is a process that decides who's going to get what benefits out of life.
It's based on a very simple premise of quid pro quo.
Politics, as you know,
now never existed until about the 1500s.
And it says, we will determine who gets what blessings,
who suffers.
And so, consequently,
nobody's ever stood up and said, here's what
black folk are going to get. You're talking about
the candidates. The first thing these black folks
should be asking is not what candidate you're going to
represent or going to vote for. Who cares?
What you should be asking is what are you going to get?
What are you voting for? That's right. What are you going to get in exchange for your vote?
That's right. What are you voting for? What are you going to get?
If you didn't get the damn thing, why are you
voting? And see, black,
and not one candidate, in all the years I ran
campaigns, not one candidate
or one president or one party,
political party, not the Republican
or the Democratic Party, Libertarian Party, Green Party, not that the Republican or the Democratic Party,
Libertarian Party, Green Party,
not one has ever promised that if I get the black vote,
here's what I'm going to do for black folk.
It's the first year it's ever happened,
and I think the only reason it's happened
is because of all the hell that's being raised on social media.
And, you know, like a lot of times
when these presidential candidates come up here,
we ask them specifically, what is your black agenda?
See, you're right.
And what does she say to you?
Well, I mean, they all have little things
here and there. The only person I've seen have a real live
black agenda is Mayor Pete. He has the
Douglas plan, which is based off Frederick Douglass.
Okay, right. And see, most of what they're going to do
is give you that old game that they used
during the formation
of this country in 1789.
And they met up in Philadelphia
and says, we're going to build this nation,
and we're going to create a document
that will make us the cradle of democracy.
It's going to be a constitution.
And they said,
we're going to make this a land of opportunity
and freedom for everybody.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
So they met in Philadelphia for a whole week.
You know what they did for a whole week?
They closed the doors
and put the guards on the windows in Philadelphia
and said, now we've got to
write this Constitution.
But we've got a problem now.
If we're going to offer this as a land of opportunity for
everybody, isn't it inconsistent
and hypocritical for us to be getting ready to
enslave all these damn black folk we're bringing
into the country? It's how we're going to get past
that. They said, well, what we'll do, we'll
run a game on them. They've been running that same
game ever since. What we'll do in the Constitution,
we use very broad and ambiguous
terms. And certain
terms, certain of those broad and ambiguous
terms will apply to whites and certain
apply to black folk. So in the United States
Constitution, it said, we the people, all the people,
all God, you got a God
given right to life, living, and pursuit of happiness.
Initially, initially wasn't
even happening it was really a property because black folk gonna be property and so that's that's
what it was structured on and they said what about black folk when they read the constitution
they said what we'll do let's use other words let's use code words like uh those who are indebted
those who are in bondage those who are property those are three-fifths of a human being,
those who are equal to a field animal.
And our people never figured that out.
So you got all our civil rights leaders running around for years
and running for public office like you're talking about,
talking about we got rights.
You don't have any rights in the Constitution.
There's no rights for blacks in the Constitution.
You got the United States Constitution in 1789 was strictly the first affirmative action plan in the country,
strictly and solely for whites and those who later on could pass for whites.
That's what it's about.
Black folk are the only people in this country that can't pass for white.
When I left the White House with President Carter in 1970,
the officer in the office of the United States says,
we're now going to make everybody in here that comes into the country,
we're going to start qualifying them as being white.
See, up until
1970, as an example,
Hispanics were always white.
They were always whites. But what happened
in 1970, I was over education for the state
of Florida at that time, and I have the
dubious honor of writing the second
affirmative action
plan in the United States,
but the first one for black folk.
When I wrote the affirmative action plan, it was approved by the governor and the state cabinet's assistance.
But I didn't write it for minorities and poor folk, those broad terms,
people of color, and for diversity, and for gays and lesbians and midgets and humpbacks and one-eyed people.
I wrote it strictly for black folk.
All right, check one, two.
You're checking out The Breakfast Club.
Bang through the streets.
Let's get back to our conversation with author Dr. Claude Anderson.
Listen, is there any way that blacks can correct the resource imbalance?
Yeah, you can.
You start playing the game.
That's why my second book, I wrote the first book called Black Labor, White Wealth.
That was to show you every technique, every trick, every custom, every custom,
every policy that the major white society used to lock black folk into a lowest level of a real-life monopoly game and to maldistribute all the resources, period.
And I followed that with Powernomics.
This showed this is a national plan for black folk.
It says a national plan to empower black Americans, period. And what's your first thing you got to do to make it long story short,
you got to have what you never had in this country. That's a group self-interest. You've
been inculcated and coordinated and brainwashed and believe that you got some obligation and
responsibility to save the world. You got to save everybody first before you save yourself.
Quit trying to save everybody. Why does it always got black folk marching trying to save it?
We're marching for gays.
We're marching for women.
We're marching for poor people.
We're marching for the handicapped.
And yet you only control one half of 1% of wealth.
You haven't got a snowball's chance.
And in the end of slavery, as I said, you had one half of 1%.
Guess what?
The average white person at that point in time had 3,500 times more wealth than the average
black. That means that 99%
of everything in this country was in the white society.
And it's still in the white society.
I don't care from Vermont
all the way to California, San Diego.
98% of everything of value
is locked in the white society.
87% of it's frozen.
Locked in the white society. You can't get it out.
So all you got to compete for is about 13% is up for grabs.
And if black folk don't know how to compete for that 13%, you are through.
And right now, that's what's happening around the world.
You see all these, we're going to implode in this country.
Same thing happening now happening in Germany with the Jews.
And there was a book out called Hitler's Willing Execution
that said the same thing.
When certain kind of things began to happen to you as a group,
you better be very careful.
And they started exterminating the Jews.
Why? Because you got a group now, as you all know about,
called the Council of 300.
What they want to do now is say,
we got too many people on Earth,
and we're going to start losing resources.
There ain't going to be enough resources left.
We got water, we're going to have water shortages coming.
And water shortages come, what follows that is food shortages.
Right now, 20% of the world is suffering from water shortages.
So what the council and all these rich people on Earth are saying is that
we've got to start getting rid of some of these people.
We're going to start with the non-producers.
Now, who are the non-producers in America?
The only people in America that produces absolutely nothing except sweat is black folk.
That's real.
I get what you're saying.
I feel you.
I mean, right now, all of our
people, they're supposed to be successful.
Guess what? The only thing they produce is sweat.
They're running with balls, football, basketball, baseball,
tennis ball, golf ball, singing and dancing.
Producing sweat.
Nobody's buying any of that sweat.
And how are you going to feed yourself? You don't produce sweat. Nobody's buying any damn sweat.
And how are you going to feed yourself?
We don't produce anything.
We don't have any industries.
And we had a chance to get industries in the 1700s when the Industrial Revolution went through Europe.
Black folk were slaves.
When the Industrial Revolution went through America in the 1800s,
we were still enslaved.
We own and control absolutely nothing.
You don't think that's changing now a little bit? Oh man, no. It's getting
worse. As a matter of fact, let me give you
a difference right now. We got all these people that you're running
for public office talking about. We gotta
look for
eradicate poverty. You cannot eradicate
poverty. Poverty is a fix. It's a
govern. It's a given.
You cannot eradicate poverty. Why?
Because just like you can't eradicate, you got an up, you got a down,
you got an in, you got an out.
That is a fix.
You cannot change it.
And you always got people wanting to eradicate poverty.
What you should be saying is leave poverty alone
and go down and try to figure out how to get black folk out of poverty.
Don't be trying to eradicate poverty.
Leave poverty alone and get blacks out.
What do you think of Barack Obama being president?
Barack Obama is a joke.
Barack Obama didn't do a darn thing for black folk.
As a matter of fact,
he hurt black folk in two ways. First of all, he had
eight years to do something for black folk,
but he carefully and judiciously
avoided
doing anything for black folk.
And most of my white friends told me in politics,
and I was always with president and governors,
they said, hey, we would never have voted for Obama.
He's going to do something for black folk.
We knew he would never do anything for black folk.
But that's the first thing.
He never did anything for black folk.
But he used that old thing that they did back in Philadelphia in 1789.
He used very broad and ambiguous terms.
I'm the president of all the people.
They like to say a rising tide lifts all boats.
That's a stupid thing.
Yeah, because a black people's boat got a hole in it.
That's right.
It's in the bottom of the dam right now.
But black folk, well, if a rising tide would lift all boats,
if a rising tide would lift all boats,
why isn't all these immigrants coming here and building industries
and businesses and blacks were slaves?
Why didn't they rise?
Because they were excluded. Black people people outside and underneath the system and they don't
let you come together and together and how they stop you from coming together since they wouldn't
let you coalesce during slavery they come up this whole concept called social integration
social integration is a divisive issue it divides you it doesn't pull you together
it's a weakening process.
You understand what I'm saying, bro?
It weakens you.
If I put a cup of coffee right now in front of you and pour cream in it, do I make it stronger?
Hell no, you make it weaker.
That's right.
So black folk went for social integration.
I've always asked, has integration helped to harm the black community?
I think it harmed.
Knocked the black folk's brains out.
Black folk had up 100 hundred times more before social
immigration hit. See, I'm old enough to tell you all that.
You're all not old enough to know that yet.
When I was a kid, see, we had something.
We didn't have the resources we
needed, as much as we needed,
but we had something. We had communities.
We had communities all over America.
And every city,
every city had a major community. Here, Harlem,
places like that.
Yeah, we only hear about Black Wall Street.
Sometimes you hear about Bronzeville in Chicago.
I can't remember the town in North Carolina,
but we don't hear about that there were literally those communities all over the country.
That's right.
Well, Sweet Auburn and Atlanta, Georgia,
that's had all the big hotels, fine restaurants and everything.
In North Carolina, what you're talking about now,
see, I grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Let me use that as an example.
I grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Let me use that as an example. I grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
We were looking for any social integration.
You know why?
Because we had our own businesses there.
My family was part of one that had the only black bus line in the entire United States.
The only black bus line.
And I say we had a bus line.
I'm not talking about two or three buses.
We had over 500 buses in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We had our own restaurants. We had our bus line. I'm not talking about two or three buses. We had over 500 buses
in Winston-Salem,
North Carolina.
We had our own restaurants.
We had our own hotels.
We had our own school systems.
And the bus line is an example.
You know what killed our buses?
What?
Social integration.
When all of a sudden,
you all started talking
about Rosa Parks
and Martin Luther King
going down to Alabama,
want to integrate the bus lines.
Integrate whose bus lines?
White bus lines. What do they want? They didn't want to own and control and get the resources. They just want to integrate the bus lines. Integrate whose bus lines? White bus lines.
What do they want?
They don't want to own and control and get the resources.
They just want to sit on the front of it.
Now, if you want to get on the bus,
what you want to do is just want to sit on the front of it.
Now, if the bus is moving,
then the back of the bus will be where the front of the bus will be
in a fraction of a second.
And everybody gets off at the same time.
And so in Winston-Salem, we had our own buses.
And so when that movement was successful in Alabama,
it came up to Winston-Salem.
And Blacks in Winston-Salem says,
we want to ride on the fronts of white buses.
So we said, we don't have any white buses.
They said, well, get some so we can ride on the front of them.
I feel like a complete asshole because I never thought about that.
Like that whole time they did the boycott,
they should have been trying to establish their own bus company
and supposed to want to ride.
I never thought about that.
Y'all boycotted for a year just to want to ride on the front?
See, you're a smart man.
I never thought about that.
But you got it now, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You said, no, what difference does it make
when I'm sitting on the front or the back?
And our safe bus company, SAF,
you can go to your computer
and find out about the safe bus company
in Western Salem.
See, we own the buses.
We own the resources.
All of our mechanics were black.
All of our drivers were black.
Electricians were black.
Everything was black.
And so we just wanted to ride on the front
of their buses.
We had two cab companies in Winston-Salem.
Guess what?
As a resource, whites had three cab companies.
Only had two cab companies.
They had the Bluebird and the Yellow Cab.
We had the Harris and the Campbell City Cabs.
But guess what?
When that integration movement started, what they wanted to do,
blacks didn't want to ride in black cabs anymore.
They wanted to ride in white cabs.
In Winston-Salem, we had our own movie theaters.
We had the Lincoln and Lafayette.
There was a Lincoln and Lafayette
theater in every major city,
every black community in America.
And whites had
three movie theaters.
They had the Farsight, the Carolina, and the State Theater.
We didn't care.
But we had our own movie theaters.
And so guess what?
Blacks didn't want to go to the white theaters.
They wanted to go to the white theaters.
We swear white ice is cold.
Sure it is.
What do you think about the conversation that they're having about reparations now?
Well, I've spent about 60 years.
That's no books for them.
Most of that dialogue is being generated by my books.
But unfortunately,
most of the people now
that are trying to latch on
to the reparation movement
don't know what the hell
they're talking about.
If Johnny come lately,
they're claim jumpers.
They won't jump in
on their movement
just to get their name
in the paper.
They don't have a plan
about what they're going
to do for reparations.
But black folk
entitled reparations.
You're navigating things
you started demanding.
And the first thing
you should be demanding is what they didn't
do during the Civil Rights Movement.
They should have gone back in 1960s
instead of talking about social
integration. And money. Thank you.
Economic empowerment. And economics.
First, you build these communities.
Right now, we do not have not one
single black community in America.
Not one.
It's impossible for you to play as a community.
Community means you've got a team.
You've got mutual understandings, interests, and direction
and plans. You don't have
one black community in America.
All you've got are black neighborhoods.
A neighborhood is where you
eat and sleep. A hotel is a neighborhood.
A neighborhood is like
having a bucket with holes in it. You're pouring
water in it. It runs out. It has no effect. And in some of these neighborhoods, it's gotten so bad now,
they're not even neighborhoods anymore. Crime has gotten so high, they ran the neighbor out. All you
got left is a hood. That's right. That's why they call it the hood. Nothing left in there. They don't
have any communities. They have a community. You must have three elements to make a community,
qualify as a community. You must have a wholly independent economic structure that can produce jobs, services, goods, products, and resources for your own people.
Two, the second thing you must have in there, you must have a code of conduct
saying this is how we're going to behave.
Here's how we're going to love and support each other.
Here's how I'm going to get along.
Here's why when I go to the breakfast club,
I'm going to love and respect those blacks on there,
appreciate them, care about them. Protect them.
And lastly, you must have politicians
elected to office who will represent you
first and foremost. You don't put
black folk in public office that will look
out for everybody else before they look out for you.
If you don't have those three things, you don't have a community.
Or you got our neighborhoods.
And that's what we got in this country. We know neighborhoods.
And once you get that neighborhood, then you go to
Anderson's third, go to Anderson's five-story building. Now, you've got to go back in that community and do got in this country. We know neighborhoods. And once you get that neighborhood, then you go to Anderson's third,
go to Anderson's five-story building.
Now you've got to go back in that community and do what I told you in my books.
You must build a five-story building.
Once you get a community, that's your platform.
That's your baseline.
Because you've got turf and territory.
It's like building a house.
Now you've got something to situate it on.
You can't build a house with nothing.
It has to be structured on something.
And once you've got that foundation, that community,
now the first thing you work on is economics.
You start practicing group economics in a vertical order.
Practicing group economics, making your money bounce in your own community eight to 12 times before it leaves.
Spend your money with your own people first.
Buy from your own people first.
So you get an economy going in your community.
Buying your own people's products, services, and goods,
like you do in Chinatown, any other town, Mexican town.
And once you get that economy going,
then you get the profits coming,
the resources, the money coming in from your economy,
then you go to the second floor.
The second floor is politics.
Our people got that backwards. They want to get into politics before they get into the economy. Then you go to the second floor. The second floor is politics. Our people got that backwards.
They want to get into politics
before they get into the economy.
Backwards is hell.
You won't make it.
And don't worry about voting.
Voting is immaterial.
Voting is a game.
It's a form of entertainment.
So when you get to the second floor,
you take the money
that you get from the first floor
and you buy the second floor.
You buy every politician.
You buy every politician with the money you made on the first floor and you buy the second floor. You buy every politician. You buy every politician
with the money you made
on the first floor.
So should we vote at all?
I'll tell you that in one second.
If you haven't got enough money
to buy them,
then you rent or lease them, okay?
So you can get what you want.
Make them do what you want to do.
And then you make those politicians
then go to the third floor.
The third floor is your political,
it is your court system,
your police system.
And make those politicians on the second floor control the third floor is your political, it is your court system, your police system. And make those politicians
on the second floor
control the politicians
that quit shooting
black kids on the street
and mistreating
and beating black folk.
You control the court system
so they won't be
getting 40 years in jail
for marijuana
and all that kind of stuff.
You got it.
So your second floor
controls your third floor,
your courts,
controls your judges and stuff.
Just like I'm talking about with Trump and all that.
And the fourth floor, what you get into, you get into, you get in, is media.
You take your money off the first floor and you buy media.
You got about 12,000 radio stations in the United States.
Black folks, out of that 12,000, black folks should own a major portion, at least 15% of them.
You got 12,000 cable systems.
Blacks don't own any, basically none of them, Holly.
You have 5,000 daily newspapers.
They don't own a damn daily newspaper.
You got 5,000 TV stations.
Blacks might own one someplace or two, the best.
In other words, black folk own 35,000 of 1% in media.
You don't own media, you can't communicate, you can't organize, you can't motivate.
And so that's the structure.
If you want to build your wealth and power, that's how you do it.
And once you build that economy, spend your money with your own people.
Make it bounce 8 to 10 times.
In this country right now, Hispanics bounce their money on an average of six to seven times in Mexico time.
Little Nevada, little Cuba.
White folk typically bounce their money eight to twelve times.
Arabs and Asians bounce their money about 13 or 14 times.
Jews bounce their money about 18 times.
Black money doesn't bounce once.
As soon as a black person gets paid,
he runs straight to somebody else's business and gives them their money.
That means they go bankrupt every night.
Every black neighborhood goes bankrupt every night at 7 o'clock,
stays bankrupt until next morning.
They don't own any damn businesses.
When a white man or somebody else closes their doors, they go bankrupt.
But what we overcome and we're progressing.
Wait, where's the progress?
Oh, someplace.
Oh, we got social progress.
What was the fifth floor? I think I might have missed that one.
Economics, politics, politicians, media.
Education on top.
And again, the fifth floor was education.
And here again,
based on my
collective experiences, I got six college degrees
and been in all levels of government
from the highest to the lowest
international politics, head of trade missions
third world countries
I said black folks should understand
education is the last thing
education is a tool
just like a hammer and a saw
but you gotta have an economy
to be able to use it
that's why these black kids go get a damn degree.
They can't get a job in the black community.
They got to go back to a white community
and somebody else's community, to somebody else's business
and ask for a job. And once you do
that, white people place the value
on what your education is worth.
That's why I can go past McDonald's and Burger
King. Got black kids there with master's degrees,
mopping floors and working
as clerks with degrees,
high college degrees in Burger Kings and McDonald's.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
Because they've got master's degrees, but they mastered nothing.
And so because we don't have an economy.
See, when a kid graduates from school, the first thing he do,
he should be able to go back to his own community
and start building businesses and industries
and drawing money into his community and holding it. And see, the Asians learned he'd do, he should be able to go back to his own community and start building businesses and industries and drawing money into his community and holding it.
And see, the Asians learned that way back, and they learned it very quickly.
That's why they come in, they figure about after a fifth year in school,
meaning after they graduate from their degree,
they work at a job, two or three jobs, by five years.
By the sixth year, they're going to have their own factories and industries, businesses.
That's why one out of every Asian has a business.
One out of every 35 whites have a business.
One out of every 53 Hispanics have a business.
Only one out of about 105 blacks have a business.
Well, we appreciate you joining us in this great conversation.
Listen, Dr. Clark, all of this work if you need it.
That's right.
Black label, white wealth, more dirty little secrets. Sure, sure. Clark got all of this work if you need it. That's right. Black label, white wealth, more Dirty Little Secrets.
Sure, sure.
Get the camera on this.
There we are.
Dirty Little Secrets.
We got the camera on it.
Black Rita.
You got it on it?
Power Domics right here.
If you want to get more from Dr. Clark Anderson, he got plenty of information to give you.
And see, what I want on those books, I wrote those books for a very specific reason, and I need help from you all.
I can't get them into the school
system. Really? Yeah, because
every state has a book selection committee.
It's all white.
And whites are basically homicidal, not suicidal.
They ain't gonna put it in my book.
They're not gonna kill itself.
They ain't gonna kill it. We're gonna test
the whole black side of practice, group economics.
Yeah. And so,
even in the black college campus,
you're going to, guess who? Barnes & Noble
has all the bookstores on the black college
campus. It's owned by whites.
Book selection committee is all whites.
I go out in Alabama, there's a doctor that says,
we love you, but we only got one black book
in the whole state of North Carolina, in
the state of Alabama. The Bible.
Yeah, there's one book, but only one copy of that.
And all of them are in university.
Can't only get one in.
And I said, but I want my books in all the charter schools, the public schools.
They can't get them in there.
And what I'd like to do, if you all don't mind, and I apologize if it's something that you wouldn't want to do,
I'm going to publicize across this nation that the Breakfast Club,
they're going to push like hell to get these books into these schools and say,
we don't want to just read white books.
Let's do it. Absolutely. Okay. Now, can I do that?
Yes, sir. Okay. We're going to keep all
of this in. They're going to see it themselves. We're going to put this out.
I got to go. I got to go. I got to spend more
time talking about you guys.
Dr. Claude Anderson, thank you.
Thank you all. And believe me,
I love you all. We love you back.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go.

but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
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.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing.

It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day.
I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question.
But like a donkey, a keyhole.
Donkey of the Day.
The practice club, bitches.
Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one.
Yes, donkey of the day goes to a 29-year-old man from Los Angeles named Eric Holder.
He is the alleged suspect in the murder of the black man known as Nipsey Hussle.
By now, I know you have seen the surveillance video of the shooting on TMZ.
The LAPD said Eric Holder walked up to the three men and fired a bunch of shots.
If you've seen the video, you can see that for yourself.
He committed this crime while Nipsey and two other men
were standing outside his Marathon clothing company store
on Slauson Avenue.
Let's go to CBS LA for the report, please.
This is the man the suspect wanted in the murder of Nipsey Hussle.
Now, this is Eric Holder.
He was last seen in a 2016 white
four-door Chevy Cruze with
California license plate 7R
JD
742.
Now, the screech
is saying Eric Holder is a known
informant and hater, and Nipsey
simply didn't want him around his store.
Nipsey asked him to leave, told him he couldn't be around,
and Eric Holder snapped. He snapped
because there's nothing more fragile on this planet
than the male ego. Alright, men
cannot take rejection, and Nipsey telling his
brother to beat it hurt his pride so much
that he decided to come back and kill
that man. I'm not gonna lie to y'all.
The death of Nipsey Hussle hit
a little different, okay? I'm not okay about
this. I'm tired of hearing stories about humans
killing other humans for absolutely
nothing, and it really hits different when those humans
are black men, because what happened to Nipsey
can happen to any of us at any given time,
alright? Hearing that happen to Nipsey makes me
question my own mortality in a very
different way, because if that happens to brothers like Nip,
what hope do the rest of us have, alright?
Nipsey was a father, he had a woman,
he was a brother, he was a son, a grandson,
a friend, he was a man who seemed to be doing everything the right way, alright? Nipsey was a father. He had a woman. He was a brother. He was a son, a grandson, a friend. He was a man who seemed to be doing everything the right way.
Nipsey was a made man for real. He released most of his music through his own label.
So he had that independence that so many people want. He was investing in his own community.
He bought back the block for real.
He had that whole plaza on West Lawson Avenue where his marathon clothing store was.
And he had plans to build a residential building in it with low income housing.
All right.
People don't even know that yet.
All right.
Nipsey opened a co-working space and STEM center in South L.A. called Vector 90, which
was simply meant to be a connector of young people to crunch out opportunities in Silicon
Valley.
Not to mention Nipsey was killed a day before he was set to meet with the LAPD chief and
police commissioner to discuss ways to slow down local violence.
The irony of him being killed the day before this meeting.
So Eric Holder, a brother from Nipsey's hood,
a brother from that community who knew Nipsey and Nipsey knew him.
That brother literally hurt the very person that God sent to help people just like him.
We cut our nose off despite our faith too often in our communities, and it's exhausting.
It's very exhausting.
It's sad.
I'm disappointed, frustrated, and scared because it's not just Nipsey, okay?
It happens way too many times to too many of us, all right?
And it really makes you question whether or not we need to be frontline in our communities at all
because it seems like when you make it, especially when you make it in some form of
entertainment or athletics or anything that gives you
some sort of celebrity or fame, you become
a target. Eric Holder is just the latest
in a line of hurt people
who hurt people. A lot of brothers are
simply in pain and they just keep
redistributing that pain to people who look
just like them. But Eric Holder,
you killing Nipsey not going to kill your
trauma. If you are still alive
right now, whatever you were going through before
you killed Nipsey has been multiplied times
100. Now you got a whole nother set of
problems. And that's why I'm so big on
dealing with your mental health and going
to therapy and getting to the root of our internal
issues. Because my brothers, we
got to heal. If we don't heal,
we just going to have another generation of trauma
passing itself off as culture. And this is why i was telling y'all yesterday to stop
with the conspiracy theory surrounding the good brother nipsey hustle his family and friends
didn't appreciate that at all okay nipsey you know didn't get killed because he was doing a
documentary on dr cb nipsey got killed by a jealous envious hating ass dude from his community who
clearly already had some deep-rooted issues and a fragile ego and he couldn't stand
the rejection he received from Nipsey like seriously
I want y'all to really think about this for a second
for a second okay
you think the government is going to get
Nipsey killed for a documentary
that's not even out yet but that same
government going to let thousands of videos of
Dr. Seavey live on YouTube
if they would go so far as to kill Nipsey for that
why wouldn't they just call YouTube and say, take those down?
Like, seriously, what's wrong with y'all that y'all believe that?
But I'm not going to go back and forth with y'all about that
because that's just a distraction.
And if we're sitting around pointing the finger at everyone else,
then we're not dealing with what we need to be dealing with,
and that's ourselves.
And by the way, I'll play white devil's advocate with some of y'all
and say, you know what, I believe you.
It is a conspiracy.
But what about all the other brothers who got shot and killed in L.A. this weekend?
What about the brothers getting shot and killed in Philly and Chicago and Jersey and Atlanta?
Are those conspiracies, too?
We act like we don't see this happen to our people all the time in our communities.
And I don't want to feel like I can't be around my own people.
But that's where all the real threats to my life are coming from.
By the way, I don't have any answers.
I'm just doing my part the best way I know how.
And the only thing I know to do right now is to encourage people,
if they know Eric Holden's whereabouts, you know, turn them in.
You know, call 1-800-222-TIPS.
Got to get people like this off the street because this man isn't going to do nothing but hurt someone else.
So if he is still alive, which is probably not, say something.
And I know in L.A. y'all going to tear the streets up looking for this guy or tear the
streets up, you know, seeking revenge on his family and friends and people that know him.
But just know, no matter how many people get shot, no matter how many people get killed,
it's not going to bring Nipsey back.
And we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used
when we created them.
Please give Eric Holder the biggest hee-haw.
I'm not right about any of this.
This hit a little bit different.
And it really, really, really bothers me
and has been weighing on my mind very heavily.
All right.
Because I don't have any answers as to what we are supposed to be doing.
All right, we got more coming up next.
We're The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, sir.
Blue Face.
Welcome back, sir.
What's happening, man?
What's happening, my brother?
You had a lot going on in the last couple weeks, man.
Since the last time we seen you
It's been crazy
Whole lot of gang s***
I feel like I hear more about
Like the BS and the drama
Than I do the music nowadays
Yeah
That's how it work man
Yeah
That's how it work these days
How you feel about all that
Uh
Well it's not just you
And the drama now
Your family's involved
Oh yeah yeah
Everybody's speaking out
About things Yeah right What happened with mama now What happened with mama And your sister I'm not gonna get too far Well, it's not just you in the drama now. Your family's involved. Oh, yeah, yeah. Everybody's speaking out about things.
Yeah, right.
What happened with Mama now?
What happened with Mama and your sister?
I'm not going to get too far into detail.
But we've seen most of it.
I know, I know.
So it's not too much for me to, you know.
But pretty much, they just came down, visit regular.
My mom got her own spot, her own thing going.
She good.
My sister, on the other hand, she's going through her life situation.
So she came down. I was going to
help her out, get her back
going. And then they just
got to a little advantage-y.
So I kind of had to
come back a little bit because the
expectations get higher when people tend to
think you're going... You got money and stuff.
Exactly. So I had to...
That's your mama, though. You said his mama good. Yeah, my mama good. She got money and stuff. Exactly. So, I had to, you know. That's your mama, though.
You said his mama good. Yeah, my mama good. She got a whole
house. She stay in Ohio. She
good. It's really my sister. That's what they came
down for. The whole purpose they came down for was my
sister. Did you know they were coming down or did they just pop up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They been here for a whole week.
They was already in the house. They was already
cool. Everything was great. Do they not get along
with your girlfriends? Uh,
no. Cause at the time, this is when I just
brought them, introduced them
to the new girls. They're like, oh,
well, like, you know, they're not sure how
to feel about the new, like, you know, two girlfriends.
I can understand. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.
It's a weird situation. And they're women, so they probably...
Exactly. And they're women, so they're a little bit more catty,
like, oh, okay. You know how
women are with their attitudes and things, so...
And plus, you're her brother,
so she probably wants to make sure women aren't taking advantage of you at the same time.
I'm sure she's protective of you, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure it was no bad intended at all as far as the girls go.
It had nothing to do really with that.
That's just what the media made it out to be.
Yeah, why did Instagram spin it in that way?
Because they had it saying you was telling your mom she's clout chasing
and all kinds of other stuff.
I don't even know.
I don't know.
The media, you know, the media do strange things.
The live was really just blew it off the top.
And that's where it went left for me, too.
I'm like, why the hell my mom going on live?
It was a crazy situation because it also revealed that you had two girlfriends, which is something people didn't know.
Yeah, exactly.
Prior to that.
So how did that situation work out?
One is your child's mother.
Yeah.
And then the other girl, did she know her already?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they already knew about each other,
so that's why I was like, hey, you might as well, you know.
You don't want me to lie to you, you don't want me to lie to you.
Let's just...
I respect it.
It's all doing together.
So honesty can work.
Yeah.
Were you lying before that, like keeping them separate
and lying to them? Yeah, exactly. I got time for that. How'd you get caught? Were you making before that? Like keeping them separate and lying to them?
Yeah, exactly.
I got time for that.
How'd you get caught?
Making enough money to bring it all together?
Now tell me how this happened.
So how'd you get caught?
And how'd you say, okay, I got to just be honest?
I mean, I didn't really get caught because they already knew like the whole time.
You know, kind of a, you know, kind of a dirt bag.
Do you cheat on your girlfriends?
Black men don't cheat. Do you cheat on your girlfriends? Black men don't cheat. Anyway, do you cheat on your girlfriends? Black men don't cheat
Black men don't cheat
Anyway, do you cheat on your girlfriends?
He's not cheating
I had two girlfriends, yeah
I'm saying, do you date anybody else besides them?
Or is it just the two of them?
No, no, no
I was going hard
It was just us two
As you can see, right?
I was making it do what it do
That gotta get stressful a little bit, though
It did What was the most stressful thing about it? I was making it do what it do. That gotta get stressful a little bit, though. I did it.
What was the most stressful thing about it?
The beginning probably was the most stressful.
Them having to watch, you know.
Watch what?
Oh, you smashed the other one.
Not technically watch, but like switch, watch, you know, look.
Oh, they wasn't in any before you is what you said.
No, they was bisexual, but I'm watch, you know, look. Oh, they wasn't in any before you is what you said? No, they was bisexual.
But I'm saying, you know, imagine you loving somebody and then somebody else coming.
You got to, you know, like watch.
Not watch, but you obviously watching you there.
So that was the hard part at first.
Did the baby mama love the other woman though?
No, no, no.
We didn't get that far.
It's not that far.
So how do you div me up the time?
Like as far as which bedroom do you use?
Do you have the same bedroom?
Yeah, we all have the same bedroom.
Everybody, we was all in together.
So when you're not there, what do you do?
Full-fledged team.
It's even better.
They got somebody else to be lonely with.
Boy, you better keep these records coming, boy.
They got somebody else to be lonely with.
Yeah.
Because when that money dry up, it's going to be hard now.
Oh, no, no.
I already cut it.
It ain't even last long, man.
What?
It's over already? Yeah, it's over. What, cut it. It ain't even last long, man. What? It's over already?
Yeah, it's over.
What, the two girlfriends?
You broke up?
We done, man.
Yeah.
I still got my BM, though.
And I saw you tweeted that you're very fortunate to have her as your baby mother.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What made you tweet that?
You were watching things happen on social media?
Man, nah, some bulls**t happened, man.
It was all over.
It was a joke.
It could have been a joke.
It could not have been a joke.
At the point I'm in right now, I ain't got no time to figure out if it was a joke or not.
You don't want to say you got robbed?
Nah, nah, nah.
I was on live or whatever, and I'm like, yo, they said y'all here for the so-and-so and so-and-so.
And my BN was like, nah, nah, nah, nah.
The other girl, she just gave a bad answer.
What was the answer?
I missed it.
It was a real, like, you ask a girl, like, are you here for me?
And she said anything.
Oh, she said something like, I'm here for the money or something.
Exactly.
If she said anything other than, yeah, I'm here for you, then it's like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So y'all just broke up.
Yeah, yeah, this recent. That's when I tweeted like... So y'all just broke up? Yeah, yeah, that's recent.
That's when I tweeted that.
Did y'all get matching tattoos?
Yeah.
Where's her tattoo?
Right here.
You ain't get no tattoo of her, though, right?
I don't know.
So did she have to move out already?
I look like...
So she already moved out and everything?
God damn it.
I mean, she made it easy.
She thought it was a smart idea to, after the comment, not even, you know, rub my feet.
You know, lick my balls.
She decided, you mad, so I'm going to be mad and just.
So she would have licked your balls and it would have been okay?
Possibly.
That's a good way to apologize.
I feel you.
Show some respect.
So she thought to get mad because I was mad.
She pulled one of those.
Like, all right, you mad, so I'm going to get mad because you mad at me.
And she left for the day.
And you just changed the locks.
That was a wrap.
I told myself, I said, if she come back tonight, you know, I might, you know,
she left for the whole night.
So she got back, you know.
It was a wrap.
So she did try to come back, though.
No, I mean, she didn't leave to leave, but her leaving period after that was like,
you must really think that's what's going on if you just leave overnight.
Well, now your sister and mom, you proved them right.
It was never really about the girls.
I think they was honestly more jealous of the affection I was showing to the girls.
You know, your mom and your sister, they obviously feel like,
oh, I, you know.
But it's like they got to understand it's two different type of relationships.
Yeah. You see what I'm saying?
Have you spoke to your moms?
Yeah, yeah.
Y'all swash the beef and everything?
Pretty much.
I mean, I'm not tripping on them.
But are they tripping?
I'm not mad at them at all.
I don't know.
They act like you've changed
since you've gotten some money and some fame.
I know, right?
You're supposed to, though.
Do you feel like there's things about you
that are different?
Because you're right, you do change
when you get a little money, a little fame. People do have to move differently. So do you feel like there's things about you that are different? Because you're right, you do change when you get a little money, a little fame.
People do have to move differently.
So do you feel like you have changed?
I think when you get money, it changes the people around you more than it changes yourself.
All right, well, keep it locked.
We got more with Blueface when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is
going to come for you. 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.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, Grace. Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing.

They still watching it, right?
No, but I'm saying different things every single day.
What the f***?
Y'all sitting here standing in the same s*** every day.
You talking about what is going on?
It's different content because you might be here today,
but then Minister Fraggon might be here tomorrow,
so it's always different content.
But you in that same chair, though.
You still sitting there looking bald as a mother f***er.
You can't make the same song over and over and expect to have a career.
That's obviously not the same.
Listen, he's not making the same song over and over again.
It's like Saint Game making the same songs over and over again.
His voice going to sound like Blueface.
Exactly.
Like, you know what I mean?
That's his style going to sound like Blueface.
His flow is Blueface.
You know, I got all the songs, so you know damn well,
I'm not letting nothing go that just everything sounds the same.
So, Whack, while you there, what happened with you and Mike Tyson, man?
Do you really think you could beat Mike Tyson in a fight?
Definitely.
I think I could beat everybody, like my artists.
You ain't supposed to think no other way.
That's what you mean.
Mike Tyson, though, they get a little slide on some of them.
You know what I mean?
Look, Envy, you're supposed to think you can whoop me.
I don't know.
I would definitely let Envy win.
That's my brother.
I don't know all the man I have to whoop Charlamagne's ass
because he ain't going to let me lay that down.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, you're going to have to whoop Charlamagne's ass.
Now, Blueface, where are we at with these legal issues?
Because I know you have to go to court next month.
We're going to court for you.
Which one?
The highway shoot.
And it feels like the more attention you're getting,
it seems like more people are trying to target you for different things.
Do you feel like that?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Definitely.
Lawyer put the gloves on and we beat another case.
That's a misdemeanor.
For the record, for everybody to know,
the freeway incident has been reduced to a misdemeanor.
That's the court.
I don't know about the blogs.
The judge.
Misdemeanor. It's a misdemeanor. That's the court. I don't know about the blogs. The judge. Misdemeanor.
It's a misdemeanor.

I've been trying to get political legalized for a long time.
No, you haven't.

All you need is money.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for your positive note.
Give them some positivity.
Marianne Williamson, one of my favorite quotes from her is a great quote.
She says, our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us. But
you can always pay to get your kids into college.
What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy.
Hey, I'm Angela Yee. And I go by the name of
Charlemagne Nagata. We just want to say happy holidays
from all three of us. All three of y'all.

This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
