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. You guys have built a platform that influences. Y'all the breakfast club. Man, it's the world's most dangerous morning show.

No. Oh, man. We got no confirmation yet. Okay. All right. Manifesting. Manifesting. Manifesting.

Which means she's definitely about to have another boy. Oh, my God. Every time I thought I was manifesting, nothing but young ladies came out. You ain't got no strong back. If you have a strong back, you have a girl, but you ain't got no strong back. Actually, my back is very strong because all I can make is quince. Okay?

shout the body. All right, well, let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tiz. Good morning, DJ and be Charlamagne.

The guy just hilarious. Good morning, girly. let's let's jump right into it trump and biden working together yeah they were flexing their uh backbone i guess yesterday we're gonna see who do you think had the strongest presentation both president joe biden and president former president donald trump visited the southern border yesterday in a dramatic split screen moment as a 2024 presidential campaign ramps up and immigration has been a top issue now not only was the split screen uh dividing their messages but they also

were vastly different now i'm going to play a little bit of both of their speeches first i want you to listen to president biden really basically plea or beg in my opinion to work with donald trump take a listen here's what i would say. Trump. Instead of playing politics with the issue, instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me or I'll join you in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. We can do it together. You know and I know it's the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country has ever seen. So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don't we just get together and get it done? Let's remember who the heck we work for we work for

the american people not the democratic party the republican party we work for the american people he's he's not wrong in no way shape or form you know what by not wrong but he's he's delusional uh donald trump's not getting ready to work with him oh no i don't listen we know that but what biden is doing is what politicians are supposed to do it's about the people not politics and if you reach out as president biden and you say hey we need to work together to get this done for the american people and you do it on such a grand stage like that everybody sees it so when the republicans and donald trump say no then that lets people know they don't really care about y'all let me ask you you don't think that sounds like a sign of weakness like you're the president and you're asking an

ex-president, hey, let's work together. I'm the mother effing president. I'm supposed to be doing it. I shouldn't have to ask. Let's work together. Can you help me, brother? It's interesting and we all know Donald Trump is the shadow president and I agree that when the actual president who was

voted in has to defer to the shadow president to get something done, then we are in a really bad place but i'm not mad at it though because it's 2024 if that's what you have to do to get republicans on the same page do it and even if you don't get them on the same page you show the american people that they don't really want to get anything done but the american people they want a fighter they don't want to hear hey come on come work with me they don't want to work they don't want to work with jo Joe Biden. They don't want they don't believe in those policies. They don't care about putting it out there to say, hey, we're trying to work with you. So what's the point?

That's why they bring things to the floor a lot of times. Right. They bring things to the floor so you can get a vote on record so you can show people who is trying to get things done and who's really not. I don't have a problem with this. Well, let's listen to the difference. Let's listen to the difference of the message. I don't have a problem with it either let's listen to the difference let's listen to the difference of the message i don't have a problem with it either i'm just saying it doesn't work republicans are okay with uh trump not working with anybody it is their way or the highway they

don't want to work with anybody they're proud of that they're proud of that they love when donald trump says no we ain't working with you you're either gonna do it our way or nothing at all i hear your point charlamagne but i'm leaning towards what envy is saying about no stop coming in with a spirit of weakness let's listen to what Donald Trump said. Let's listen to the difference. Now the United States is being overrun by the Biden migrant crime. It's a new form of vicious violation to our country. It's migrant crime. We call it Biden migrant crime, but that's a little bit long. So we'll just leave it. But every time you hear the term migrant crime, you know where that comes from. Allowing thousands and thousands and actually millions and millions of people to come.

Could be 15 million, could be 18 million by the time he gets out of office. Once again, it's not about the politicians. It's about the people. And I think this is a good way to show the american people that republicans don't really want to get anything done democrats are like let's solve the problem let's work together to solve the problem republicans are like nah so y'all are politicizing something while people in america are actually suffering i think it's good optics i think it's the opposite honestly it seems like it shows a sign of weakness.

It's kind of like Jess, right, with her son. And Jess is like, excuse me, son, would you mind? Let's clean the room. Let's clean your bedroom together. Opposed to being like, no, go clean your mother effing bedroom. That's what it sounds like. He's not the president. Trump is not the president.

Do y'all realize things get done because of bipartisan politics? But Trump is not a president. You have to have Republicans and Democrats together. What are you talking about right now? Trump is not even part of anything that we're discussing. This is like people who get mad when folks go talk to somebody on the opposite

side. No. Yes, it is. You have to do that. When somebody's willing to discuss and willing to have a conversation, we all know. Can we just be clear? Trump don't want to talk. We know this, but you got to show the people this because republicans are blaming democrats no they have it not not i'm telling you people aren't not paying attention like they should republicans always blame it on the democrats democrats are letting you know right now hey pleading like you said taz in front of everybody on cnn msnbc fox it's the headline

everywhere let's work together on getting this done, Trump. And now Trump and the Republicans are still saying no. That's showing the American people that they don't really want to fix the border. But the Trumpers who are more motivated to vote for him, they're saying get somebody else to do it. We don't want to work with you. We don't like your policies. And we're okay with it. But the Trumpers are going to vote for Trump regardless. That's right.

This is more so for the independent voters out there who are like, well, damn. You know, they may still be up in the air about who to vote for. They may still be up in the air because they don't know who's causing the problems. You think people are really up in the air, though, at this stage? I still think there's a lot of independent voters out there. Especially because what I keep saying in 2024 is about the Republicans who are the crooks, the Democrats who are the cowards,

and the couch. There's a lot of people who still might be sitting on the couch in November. All right. Well, that is front page news. What are we talking next hour? Well, more on migrants. Democrat New York City mayor calls for change to the current sanctuary policy. You know, once upon a time

Democrats were saying, hey, come here, come here. And now they're saying, wait a minute, hold up. Now he should have listened to Republicans from the beginning. Now Mayor Adams, now that's somebody who should have listened to Republicans. Yeah, he should. Jess, Jess. Absolutely. Can we please do Get It Off Your Chest, Jess?

Can we do Get It Off Your Chest together? Oh, absolutely we can. Okay, great. I thought y'all was asking me about politics. Absolutely. Absolutely. Get It Off Your Chest, 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

Get It Off Your Chest. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed.

It's time to get up and get something. Call up now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Blake. What's up, Envy? What's up, brother?

How you feeling? Hey, I'm calling in to talk about, well, first of all, good morning, y'all. Good morning. Charlemagne, Ray, everybody. Peace, Blake. What up? So, look, I agree with Charlemagne. If y'all remember, they had a bipartisan deal, and they backed out.

The Republicans backed out because Trump told them to do so. That's right. But you have to recognize the power that he has. Even though he's not in office, he has the power. He has the Republicans in his hands. That's right. So by reaching out to him, you're going to the head. You're not going to the body body anymore you go to the head

hey call call your dogs out that's right he's the shadow president if that's if that's what you got to do to get things done because you actually care about people and not politics that's what you got to do i don't think neither of them really care about people honestly hello who's this good morning two points if that's okay. Peace. Yes, of course, queen. Okay. The interview y'all do with Miss Tav?

With Miss who? Perfect interview. You said Miss Pat? Miss Tav. Tabitha Brown. Oh, Tabitha Brown. Oh, Tabitha. Oh, absolutely. Salute to Tabitha.

Yes, absolutely. That was a great interview. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Love Tabitha Brown. Second point. Talking about bipartisanship between Democratic and Republican parties. Let's not forget in 2020, Biden got on stage and said we're letting in 11 to 14 million immigrants.

Trump asked, y'all going to allow this on stage? So this, when you talk bipartisan, they already knew this was coming. We're doing it for votes. Black people's not giving out the vote like they're supposed to. So you need the immigrants, supposedly. Okay. They knew this was coming.

All right, well, thank you. I don't know what she was trying to say. Me neither. I'm just going to go with it. It was a bunch of migrants downstairs this morning. I'll tell you that much, though. Was there? Yeah, because they're building an oyster bar.

Oh, so they're working. And they were very well-dressed. Didn't I say that when we walked in? You sure did, yeah. I said, it's a well-dressed migrant. They're having some nice designer clothes. But he made sure he said it after we got in the door. Because there was like 17 of them out there.

But let me ask you a question. How do you know they were migrants? Man, shut up. Oh, my God. He keep trying to get us canceled. No, I'm just asking. Trust me, it was very obvious. It was like real migrancy.

Don't shut up. It was very, very obvious. It was like real migrancy. It was very, very obvious. And then it was one in front of us, right? And so when Charlamagne was like, yeah, there's some nicely dressed migrants out there. And she turned around like, what you say? And he thought she had a little target bag and a big butt and she wasn't no migrant. I was like, uh-huh.

She turned around like, what you say? Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? How's it going, DJ? Hey, how's it going? Pretty good. Okay. How are you?

Because I would have said that to anybody, but you corrected me, so that's right. Keep searching. But the reality is, if you're a person that's single, whether you're a man or a woman, just like we told the dude yesterday that called doing Just Fix My Mess, Ken Weaver.

Okay, why is this news? Let's check back in a few weeks if that changes. Little Meech sat down for an interview and spoke about his dad. Duh, what else he gonna talk about Um that's Why is that news Either way Speaking of Big Mee She's expected to come home

In 2025 y'all Um allegedly Cause he requested Um A shorter sentence to the judge He was originally supposed to come home In 2028 So if y'all don't see him in 2025

He be home in 2028 Alright Kiki Palmer Rumored to be dating Miami Dolphins star Duke Riley. I saw what? All right, cool. Jada Pinkett speaks on underpaid actors. I don't know why they give me the most stories like that.

Jada Pinkett was on the most recent episode of NPR. It's a podcast. She was asked about black actors being underpaid and her thoughts on how vocal Taraji P. Henson was about that. My heart broke for Taraji. I was also happy how courageous she was to speak about it in the way that she did. One of the things with Taraji, she is the breadwinner of her family. Her pressures would be different than mine. I have to put that out front because if it's time to walk away, that's not always the solution because what people don't understand as well with us as black entertainers we carry a lot of people with us

right i find that that's unique there are peers from from other cultures that don't necessarily do it that way people will would literally say well you don't need it you're married to will i've heard that several times i would love to know who those people are yeah yeah because that's crazy yes i want to know how do they convey that to a talent like who are these people are these people from the studio are these production companies like were they saying this in in jest or they really meant that in negotiations yeah you don't need this because you're married to will i think a lot of people would think that i don't know if they would say that i think it would give her a low number be like she don't need it you know i mean right that's what you think but you don't actually say that correct to her you know she has her own legacy she has her own like she's an

actress as well you know what i mean so you don't say that but for people who forgot or you know who want to be previewed to what taraji said we have plate number one. I'm just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost. I'm tired of hearing my sister say the same thing over and over. I hear people go, you work a lot. I have to.

The math ain't math. And if I can't fight for them coming up behind me, then what the am I doing? I'm sorry. Yeah. And Jada being married to Will, by the way, has nothing to do with anything. Not at all. I'm Jada Pinkett Smith.

Right. I'm here doing the work. Right. You got to pay me for the work I'm about to do. Yeah. So I just, I thought that was interesting that, you know, that was a different take on what Taraji said. Jada giving her her real truth about that.

Moving on. Oprah Winfrey steps down from weight watchers board um oprah is leaving the weight watchers after almost 10 years of being with them she told the company this week that she ain't coming back you know because it's like a whole board and she has to be re-elected and all that and um the decision came after she publicly announced that she used weight loss drugs um in the past oprah was open about the fact that using weight loss drugs is considered the easy way out and the fact that she's using them now people are looking at her like hold up well didn't you say that was the easy way out that's right i think that has a play to the fact

that she was on the weight watchers board you know what i mean um but i i always thought that that was kind of you know weird and just to say know, that's the easy way out when it's really just somebody's preference. You know what I'm saying? Because a lot of people work out and they can't lose that weight. And if it's available and it's there and it's a way that you can do it, people are going to jump on it. Hence Oprah. You know what I'm saying? So according to the documents, her agreement with Weight Watchers says that she will not engage in any other weight loss or weight management business program products or service.

So she still plans to work with the CEO of Weight Watchers to reduce stigmas surrounding obesity. But I thought she owned a big portion of it. I thought she owned like a huge percentage of Weight Watchers. That's what she does. She's giving up her. She's giving up that to an organization. I forgot the name of it. I saw it yesterday.

That's I thought it was strange when she came out and said that she used i guess weight loss drugs whatever it may be because she came if she didn't say it nobody would have known but weight watches is a program that's supposed to help people lose weight and the fact that one of the i guess ceos and owners or percentage owner is using these other drugs it just that says a lot about oprah and her character though that's very yeah i think it's good that she actually told the truth because like you said nobody would have known if she didn't say anything just like Fat Joe in them shoes.

So, you know. That's right. Don't lie to people. You're using weight loss drugs but trying to say it's Weight Watchers and imagine folks buying all this Weight Watchers and you saying yourself,

why I'm not losing weight like Oprah? It's because Oprah's actually using weight loss drugs. Right, right, right. Same thing. I never understood why Khaled was doing Weight Watchers. Yeah, shut up, man.

I feel like Khaled should have stepped down from Weight Watchers, too. He lost a little weight, though, when he was on it. I don't why Khaled was doing Weight Watchers. I feel like Khaled should have stepped down from Weight Watchers too. He lost a little weight though when he was on it. I don't remember that. Found it again? Listen, stop y'all. Two men convicted in Jam Master Jay's murder 22 years after Jam Master Jay's death. There's finally been a

conviction in his murder case. Ronald Washington, who's 59, and Carl Jordan Jr., who's 40, were found guilty by a Brooklyn federal jury. Ronald Washington was his childhood friend, and Carl Jordan Jr., who's 40, were found guilty by a Brooklyn federal jury. Ronald Washington was his childhood friend, and he's the same age. He was the same age as Jam Master Jay, and Carl Jordan was his godson. That's horrible. Yes, his godson was 18 at the time of his death.

That's crazy. Prosecutors say the murder was fueled by revenge and greed, and it was a drug deal that had gone wrong. The verdict came after a four-week trial. And all of this is according to a Fox 11 news report. We had a report, but I just said everything in the report. Yes, I can read. So, thanks. Very sad.

It's great because they finally found the killers and they got time. Of course, they left the courtroom saying they didn't do it. But they had witnesses that actually pointed them out that they said that they were scared to speak up for years now because they were scared of revenge. So I just I'm just glad that, you know, now hopefully, you know, Jam Master Jake, rest in peace and his family can have some closure. Definitely rest in peace. Jam Master Jake sending his family healing energy. Like you said, I hope it brings closure. It's just crazy that you get killed by your godson. Like, yeah, the person that if something was to happen to their parents

you're supposed to take them in that person takes your life lord have mercy and your childhood friends the man that you grew up with man hmm

so that is Jess with the mess for the first hour y'all thank you Jess no problem now when we come back we got front page news Cezlan Figueroa

will be joining us and D1 artist, rapper, teacher he'll be talking to us next so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning wake up wake up you're locked into the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news what up cheers going on dj envy queen of the breakfast club just hilarious and charlamagne thea God. Good morning. Peace, Jess.

Now, I know last hour we were talking about Biden, so let's jump right back into Biden. We're going to jump right back into Biden. Let's go straight to Biden. Well, he took a, well, he did not take a mental fitness test and said that he doesn't need one. So, of course, a reporter asked, you know, why didn't, when he took his yearly physical, why didn't he take the mental test? This is what she had to say. You were asking me about a cognitive test the president doesn't need a cognitive test that is not my assessment that is the assessment of the

president's doctor that is also the assessment of the neurologist who has also made that assessment as well and you know and you've heard to say this and I'll reiterate this the president's doctor has says the president who is also the commander-in-chief he passes a cognitive test every day as he moves from one topic to another topic trying understanding the granular level of these topics you saw him talk about a fighting crime today tomorrow he's going to go to the border next week he's going to give a state of the union address and so we have to keep that in mind i believe all presidents should have to take a cognitive test regardless of age i believe anybody in any position of power that that has to lead people should have to take a cognitive test you know uh like like annually i really don't think that's a stretch like it's okay

to actually take to take a cognitive test i believe that's right if you are a leader and you are a leader of people the way presidents are i don't care it's not about age i don't care who you should have to take a cognitive test i really feel that way well dr phil was interviewed on tmz and he was asked should he have to take a mental exam and dr phil first of all he explained how he specialized in brain and central nervous system when he was practicing which i think is important and this is what he had to say about if you really had nothing to hide i I think you would hide nothing. And if you had no problem with neurological deficits, wouldn't you want to crow about that? Wouldn't you want to have a transparent neurocognitive examination and show the world that was the case?

That kills the issue in the election. Dr. Phil is not wrong. Yeah, but I believe he definitely needs a test. Now, if you don't know what that test includes, if you're like, well, what does the test include? It does your thinking, your learning, your remembering, the judgment, and also breaking down problems and problem solving.

So that's what it does. And I'm with Charlamagne. I think at a certain age when people do certain things, I think everybody should have to take that test. I don't know what the test actually consists of, but I think that if you are a certain flying a plane, driving a bus, something where you have a lot of power, where people can be affected by you. I think you should be taking these tests as well. Anyone in a leadership position. If you serve people, presidents, doctors, police officers, if you serve people on a high level, you should have to take a cognitive test. cognitive test to me it's not even about age it's just about the position that you're in but not even that i think even if you own a firearm you should be tested to make sure that you you know you're thinking clearly and thinking straight to be able to have that much power to

possibly kill people you know i agree yeah and at the very least he should have taken it because this is the number one issue that people have you you know, with President Biden, age and memory and, you know, the mental fitness. So this certainly would have shut it down. And this will continue to be a conversation as we go into the election. So it just seemed like it would have made sense even from a political standpoint. But I want to tell you guys about New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who wants some changes to the NYC sanctuary policy. He's asked for drastic changes, marking this the first time he publicly endorsed a shift that could put undocumented immigrants who are accused of a crime in the hands of ICE. Take a listen.

I don't believe people who are violent in our city and commit repeated crimes should have the privilege of being in our city. It comes after recent high-profile crimes allegedly committed by migrants, including an assault on two NYPD officers last month and a tourist shot earlier this month during a robbery inside of a Times Square clothing store. Wednesday, police also responded to a stabbing at a Manhattan shelter. To mere fact, we cannot share with ICE that this person has committed three robberies, that this person is part of an organized gang crew,

the mere fact we can't say that and can't communicate with that, that's problematic for me. At some point, Democrats like Mayor Eric Adams need to admit they got it wrong. Last year, when Governor Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis were sending migrants to those sanctuary cities, some point democrats like mayor eric adams need to admit they got it wrong last year when governor greg abin and ron desantis were sending migrants to those sanctuary cities and i said that that was genius this is why okay now you're right this moment right here is why i was saying that was genius because eventually democrats had to admit yo there really truly is a problem this is a problem that never impacted the northeast like that it It was impacting the Texas's and the Florida's, but it never impacted the Northeast.

So when those Republican governors were saying, hey, this is a problem, you know. Now you're right. You don't believe it? Now we're going to send it to your door. Now people like Eric Adams can say, yo, yeah, they were right. They need to say that those folks were right. And just think about it.

Just this past January, when I was out here telling folks what people in New York was telling me about the migrant issue, what people in Chicago were telling me about the migrant issue, not politicians, regular everyday working class people, they were saying that was MAGA messaging. Oh, how things have changed. No, you're right. You're absolutely right. Because like you said, it didn't

affect until it came in our own backyard, right? When it was a problem in Texas, somebody in New York doesn't know how that feels. Somebody in Jersey doesn't know how that feels. Somebody in D.C. doesn't know how that feels. But when they put it in your own backyard, you'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's right. Not MAGA messaging no more, is it, y'all?

Just January, y'all was writing articles on MSNBC saying I was spreading MAGA messaging simply talking about the migrant issue. They asked me a simple question on Fox News. in november will the border be an issue i was like absolutely and i gave i laid out reasons why because of what people regular everyday working class people from new york to chicago were telling me now look that's right and you couldn't even bring it up two or three years ago at all you would automatically be called anti-immigrant cancel like complete don't even address the conversation so my my mind had things changed i will say that the advocates for the migrants are saying uh that this is fueling fear-mongering and baseless attacks and this is going to cause public safety issues because people don't feel comfortable you know uh talking

to ice but you know again the mayor is saying if I can't talk to ICE or deport people who are causing crimes in the city, this ain't going to work. So we're going to have to come back and discuss, you know, a better policy. Now, at this particular moment, he has not put out there exactly what it is he's looking for or if a conviction would be necessary. But he's basically saying, y'all know this ain't it. We're going to come back to the table and figure this out because we got to get this under control. Can I tell you what's going to happen next? What's going to happen next is, you know, because America's not good at solving problems and being that america's not good at solving problems america don't even have the resources to take care of

these migrants like they're acting like they do so what's gonna happen when these migrants can't get taken care of what are they going to resort to crime because they're just going to be trying to survive and where they're probably going to be committing this crime at in the hood in rural areas like i'm from in south carolina and then what's going to happen you're going to have civil wars between people in these hoods people in these rural areas and migrants you're going to have wars between gangs in these areas and the migrants all because everybody's just trying to survive america doesn't know how to solve problems man at all and by the way that's happening now in chicago so when we covered that in chicago south side chicago uh black folks who are saying you know hey this this ain't it we don't want you know uh these certain uh buildings

built here and landing it here quote unquote in the hood or whatever you want to call it because you're dumping the problem on us and we're trying to survive as well you know they always say what about chicago where do you think that crime comes from in the inner city from people trying to survive so now you have one group of people who are trying to survive against another group trying to survive and what is the result of that meaning each other eat each other alive so yes that's right there's already there's already clashes over resources like you can go to somebody like you know i do a lot of work with the food bank in harlem you know what i mean and like a lot of the migrants they'll go there to get food as they should but the people that's been coming there for years they ain't gonna let them cut the

line so there's already clashes and everything over this stuff like america does not know how to solve problems we've never known how to solve the problem of poverty in this country and this situation is just gonna make it worse all right well that is front page news thank you tess absolutely have a great weekend and make sure you follow at tesla figaro on all social media platforms and subscribe to this great shot no chaser podcast uh hosted by tesla figaro on the black effect iheart radio podcast network all right when we come back artist d1 will be joining us we're gonna kick it with d1.

At A3C Yep That really working Because I never had anything Given to me in this industry So i just seen you backstage at a3c yep i really working because i never had anything given to me in this industry so when i stopped being a middle school teacher back in louisiana i was like dang i'm about to be a rapper now it was important for me to go out there and make it happen so how you make it happen you form organic connection i remember when i was a teacher in louisiana um i used to be fredo bangs middle school teacher you heard me like

literally and i remember before i told my class like look i'm about to stop teaching after this year to be a rapper i was like dang is there gonna be longevity in the music industry the way there is if i was to stay being a teacher and all these years later i'm still here and still ascending you heard me so that's god bro that's why i know my path is divine nobody could say well d you had this person that put you on god orchestrated my blessings bro to. Nobody could say, well, D, you had this person that put you on. God orchestrated my blessings, bro, to where nobody could get the credit except for him from me. You said you were Fredo Bang's teacher.

Did you know when you were teaching him that he was going to be a rapper, he was going to be a star? Not at all. No. No, I just knew he was a funny little dude. He was cool. He had a sense of humor. And he was smart. You know what I mean?

And he was not to be played with. He was serious. You know, he was serious about just demanding his respect. But he was just a cool dude. I just did a video with him because he put out an album called Yes, I'm Sad. And, like, you know, I did a video with him encouraging him to go to therapy. And then I actually connected him with a therapist. That's coming out soon.

He actually sat down with a real therapist. I don't suggest people broadcast it but if they want to i'm not mad at it what if people broadcast going to therapy yeah i mean i don't know sitting down like the actual session like oh the actual session i think they're doing the actual session i'm not sure i'm not really yeah i think i did that once for vh1 and i'll never do like that yeah bro because it's hard to be transparent that's right you know what i'm saying super hard to be i went to therapy right. You know what I'm saying? It's super hard to be. I went to therapy

actually right after that BET Cypher. I started going to therapy, bro. I was signed to RCA at the time, right? And, you know, you're on the BET Cypher, you're thinking your life

about to change after this night. Like, that's what I was thinking and nothing changed after that night. You know what I mean? Nothing changed after that night.

So I was like, dang, man. And I was feeling like, I know I'm the underdog in this industry because, you know, I'm on some righteous stuff. I'm on some put God first stuff. I come from New Orleans. Like, after that, I felt like I blew my shot. It started messing with me mentally to where I was like, damn, I kind of don't even want to be here no more.

Not in the industry, but on this earth. And when I started realizing like that, I'm having suicidal thoughts behind feeling like i'm professionally a failure i realized i couldn't separate david from d1 at that point and that was unhealthy you know i mean and for the first time in life i went to therapy because i was like talking to my friends that ain't getting it at this point talking to my grandma rest in peace that ain't cutting it at this point so therapy really did help me but ultimately what helped me even more than therapy was understanding my god-given purpose for like man i know who my creator is i know why i was put here and i was put here to glorify him so who am i to think that

my whole life is a failure because one moment didn't elevate me professionally let me ask you a question you know they consider you a christian rapper right i don't know i don't know if they do or not you know because the reason is is i feel like they put you in a box but there's a lot of rappers that preach positivity and don't preach gang don't preach guns don't preach violence and they're not putting that same box but they seem to put you in that box you know why it's because they smart the other rappers they crafty i ain't gonna say it's smart. They crafty. 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.

and murk you, you know what I mean? They'll slide a spin the bin and and and and and and murky you know i mean they'll they'll slide a little bit of that in there put the medicine in the can there you go but i don't think that's uh i don't think wait you mean put the candy in the medicine no put the medicine in the candy put the medicine in the candy yeah so that's so they and i don't think that that's uh wise because i it's just like that kind of comes across lukewarm you know i mean so with me it's one of the things where I was like if I gotta sacrifice a little bit of professional like growth in order to say I'm gonna be uncompromising about my message I'm down for it because wherever I get that's where I was meant to be in God's eyes you know a lot of people got

selfish ambition and that's different from godly ambition what godly ambition is God I just want to make you proud and wherever that lamb yet i'm content selfish ambition is the world telling me to chase being a billionaire the world telling me this the newest car to get the world telling me that this the brands i need to be rocking that selfish ambition to have you chasing a moving target for your whole life and i never fell victim to that because around the time i was starting to get materialistic i went to ghana when i was 13 years old i saw real poverty i thought i grew up in the hood till i went to ghana you feel me i came back man i'm not tripping on wearing jabot jeans no more i'm not tripping on you know having a yeah have this jewelry and be like the hot boys or whatever man i just seen

people who they joy is their weapon you know i mean i don't need to carry no gun my joy is my weapon moving forward i want my smile to light the room up when i come in there that's what i've been on for a long time so you apply that to the rap game and people gonna be like oh he different and because he different and he he loved god he a christian rapper you know i mean if that's what people call me cool but a lot of people they just like nah bro he's a college professor he's a harvard university fellow he's a dope rapper he's an activist he's you know he's a college professor he's a harvard university fellow he's a dope rapper he's an activist he's you know he's a bunch of things he's an author this is my children's book i just wrote maybe found his slingshot yeah so that i wrote that at harvard last year and it's

uh it's based on you being bullied while growing up right man i used to get bullied when i was in kindergarten you know like a lot of people um and when i was bullied at the time i ain't know how to you know i ain't know how to get over that so this is an anti-bullying hip-hop children's book because uh yeah bro just like the story of david and goliath david was able to defeat goliath when he found his slingshot you feel me david didn't use nobody else's weapons when they was like here take this shield take this sword he was like now i'm good on that i know what my gift is my gift is using this slingshot the way i overcame my bully is i found my slingshot and you know when you read the book you realize what my slingshot is but you realize that we all got a slingshot and when you find your slingshot in life and you use it for the purpose

god designed it for you're going to defeat the goliaths in your world too you know it's life and death and the power of the tongue that's proverbs 18 and 21 like it don't say life and death in the power of the beat you hear me the beat could change your mood or your frequency but life and death is in the power of those lyrics and that's just real yo so now it's like instead of just being the person that's anti this anti that I gotta be just as dope but in a different lane so that's why i gotta be at a counteract the murder music with stuff like i don't care if you know me you about to respect how i step why would you think i'd ever fear you i don't even fear death a scary boy need a gun

like bad breath need a gum yeah your teeth clean but i know the power of the tongue i'm a man of god i ain't superstitious from new or Orleans where Birdman quotes get treated like Bible scriptures But me I ain't the type to brag about what I done bought I make silent moves, but I get loud results if D1 talk about his pain You're gonna really relate D1 talk about his paper. You're gonna know that he's straight D1 rap on top of your beat You're gonna know that he ate D1 rap on top of your beat You're gonna know that he ate you bragging about what you done been through partner we survivors too and you calling boys your brothers but which one's gonna

rhyme for you ain't no g code no more boy the streets didn't lie to you that's why i be in my bag but i be in my bible too they don't like me but they know they can't deny me man i'm a real gangster and they know right where to find me g-a-n-g-s-t-a do not try me growing and nurturing gifts serving the almighty keep up a lot of people feel how i be feeling but don't speak up i'll be out at harvard in my office with my feet up god why are you so good to me i need answers slaves built this school now i own real estate on campus that's how i gotta come and i really already said and i'm charlamagne i dare you say that ain't it bro i dare you say that when it is what it is you don't gotta say nothing but of course that was dope all right we got more with d1 when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good

morning everybody it's dj envy it's just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with D1. Man, thank y'all for having me, man. Now, you were very vocal about rappers using their platform. You spoke about, of course, Meek and Jim Jones and Rick Ross. And you were upset with, you felt like the music that they put out was hurting the youth opposed to helping. Yeah. Now, break that down a little bit.

Yeah. Because all those brothers in their music have uplifting songs and positive songs it's not just all about bang bang shoot them up f your girl right you felt like the singles that they put out were well i just feel like we got a lot of selective outrage in the black community in general a lot of selective outrage if a white person say the n-word one time all it take is one time for them to say it we at their top we on their head oh no you say damn are we trying to cancel you? We'll never let you forget that. But if artists, if it's like, yo, what they rap about murdering people, you know, in 50% of their songs.

But in the other 50%, or 80% of their songs, but 20%, they're rapping about economic empowerment and some positive stuff. Like, shouldn't that be okay? We're content with a state of lukewarmness. You know what I'm saying? That's something that I'm just like, yo, that's confusing. That's confusing to these kids. I'm with the kids on a daily basis.

You feel me? I'm a college professor currently, in addition to being a rapper. Like, I'm seeing that these kids who ain't from the trenches at all, now their identity is rooted in like, well, if I'm black, I gotta be able to relate to this type of music to

even feel like i'm authentically black and that's because that's what's getting pushed and i'm just telling the artists like bro we know like we made it from that we shouldn't have to be glorifying that stuff it's definitely a problem what if we switched our our mindset about how we look at the music like is there a way to look at the music is just entertainment the same way we look at movies you tv shows you being serious right now or you just playing devil's advocate because none of these people all these people are in character it's not like they're saying hey my name is such and such they're all in character we do it in movies and tv shows we know it's not real and they glorify it even worse probably than the music i think i yeah i don't you playing

thank you thank you jess get your boy but I also feel like what Charlamagne says not to say it and I get what you're saying it's an influence but we know these are rappers ain't killing nobody no we don't know that we can't say we know they're not running around shooting nobody majority of them bro are you serious they are heavy listen listen thank you bro thank you bro listen Bro, I just watched Y'all show the other day, bro I'm a fan of the show First of all

I just watched the show When y'all had my brother French Montana appear The young brother with French Not the young queen But the young brother With French He was like

Y'all, you was like Yo, French smash Another rapper's wife French was like Nah, that's rap cap I'm just saying that Yeah The young brother was like Man, I make drill rap Like, what you mean? If we ain't living it like, nah, that's rap cap. I'm just saying that. The young brother was like, man, I make drill rap.

Like, what you mean? If we ain't living it, like, shoot, that's lame. We gotta be living it. Charlamagne, they telling you that, bro. They telling you like, no, this ain't just fiction rap. Like, this is non-fiction. Rap is implied that it's autobiographical and you telling your real story.

You hear me? D1 is just a stage name it's not a character it's an extension of who david augustine is that's what rap is bro i can remember my favorite rap lyrics from the hot boys from 20 years ago i can't i don't i don't walk around quoting my favorite movies from 20 years ago line for line from the whole movie but i could rap you any lil wayne lyrics from 20 years ago. I definitely got me a 38 snub nose because of Tupac and Juice. But that was a movie, though.

That's what I'm saying. I've definitely been, I can't sit here and act like I haven't been influenced by movies. I mean, whoa, though. We are way more influenced by music

than we are movies, bro. And at the same time, when's the last time you seen these actors from movies out here getting killed and getting Rico Chargers and getting put in

jail i agree thank you so since we agree with that it's it's clear that like music has this pull on us but we content with this state of lukewarmness so i'm telling y'all and all i'm saying is we are massively successful who's sitting here right now all of us massively successful with our platform like i feel called to not make the next generation feel content with uh with saying yeah like let's glorify this stuff but not let's just not go do it in real life i wonder about uh people's environments too though because i feel like the environment you come up in influences you way more than music would i just think the problem sometimes is that people provide soundtracks for the environment Okay. Okay. So that's where as Oh geez in hip-hop and as success stories We should be able to yo to the young is coming up

Let me show you how you can take that environment and make your environment be a product of you Because you was chosen you heard me if you are artists and you got a huge platform You know what our responsibility is is to make the revolution irresistible it's not to keep feeding lies to people I didn't have rappers had these type of convo's with me outside the booth and then the engineer be like the beat is ready and they leave from nature they go hop in the boot and they go kill 40 people in that song you know how do you change that because i you know how do you change that because i heard you said in the interview is like you know a lot

of these rappers you feel are serving two masters right yeah the man upstairs and then or the man and woman upstairs and then also the money yeah so how do you change that you gotta pick one and who created you did money create you or did god create you god created you so that's who you're supposed to be serving don't become a slave to a green piece of paper shout out to my brother styles p man that's a song of his i live my whole life for a green piece of paper you know i mean i'm like dang that song hit me back when i was in school because i was like dang i don't want to live my whole life for a green piece of paper that could be torn up and then once you tear it up it has no value i don't want to do that, man.

When did you first realize you were using your gifts for their intended purpose? Well, the first time I did a show, it was a talent show at LSU. And Miss Afeni Shakur was at my school, right? Tupac's mom. And when I got off stage, I didn't win first place, second place, or third place in that talent show. But when I got off stage, she was She was like young brother your passion on that microphone When I see you perform reminds me of my son and when she told me that I was like, oh I got something special So I'm like who would I who would I be to?

To have a watered-down message when I know that this message could be life-changing for people in a good or bad way And you're a professor, right? Yeah at Tufts university and you teach students about the intersection of hip-hop and social change yes sir break that down yeah so my course that i designed is all about how hip-hop has been used to make social change in the past and how we can use it to make social change moving forward because unfortunately it's kind of veered in the direction of yo um i'm just trying to get the bag i ain't even a rapper i'm just a game spitter i'm just a hustler you know it's kind of veered in that direction so people now focused on making change via hip-hop right and i'm just saying yo as a class we're gonna learn how different artists have been able to use their

platform to really make real change i was on tour with macklemore when the thrift shop song came out doing a nationwide tour with him i saw the change that they were making even in the lgbtq community when they had the same love song i saw all of the legislation that they were a part of and how they had people getting married at the shows and all this i'm like i'm seeing real social change be made via hip-hop i didn't see um the impact that Air Force Ones done had on a whole country. Make people want... So we just study about that stuff in my class, bro. And I'm empowering my class to want to make music, but also consume music that's going to make change.

Because why are you consuming music that's glorified? Like, one assignment I had for my class was to write Kodak Black a letter while he was in jail just now. Kodak just got out last week. And me and Kodak are cool. So we were DMing yesterday and Kodak hit me like, yo, I got all them letters from you and your class. He was like, that stuff really inspired me. Thank you, bro. Y'all snapped.

I want to come and visit your class. And I just seen hip hop make people do that, man. Like, I got adrenaline running through me right now man i'm on the breakfast club it's gonna make people like want to amplify something inside of them thankfully though because i know i'm serving god i'm like amplify the righteousness in you d like don't amplify because i got darkness in me too i got wretchedness i got craziness i got evil in me as well we all do but i don't want to amplify that part i try to suppress that part as much as possible but man i see people make the wrong decisions every day and i just try to i try to still be here for we got to still have grace with

people you feel me all right well don't move we got more when d1 when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy jess larry charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with d1 charlamagne you've been propositioned to compromise yourself at different points in this industry right i know what you're talking about i don't want if you're not gonna say i'm not gonna no let's say it okay yeah say it is it true that you were pressured to participate in homosexual acts for a major is it true that you were pressured to participate in homosexual acts for a major is it true that you were pressured to participate in homosexual acts for you get that i didn't see that on this no it's very true no it's true no it's very true i don't know how you heard that maybe you heard another uh interview or something it's very true brother that's when i was a local rapper trying to get on

and when people see that you are vulnerable because they know they got the leverage there's certain people in this industry who will be like oh i think he'll be willing to do something strange for a piece of change you know what i mean and i had somebody i was trying to get somebody to manage me at the time and the person i was trying to get to manage me i drove out of town i went to a video shoot that they were a part of and during the video shoot we were we were gonna have a meeting and talk about that and yeah that person kind of you know implied to me like yo like i'll manage you you just gotta do something for me you know yikes yeah and you see them managing artists now you like yeah man that so actually that person jesus christ yeah bro no it's a real thing dog this ain't no i'm surprised y'all don't know most stories like that i do no

we do we know a lot of them so it's not about you oh yeah but it's a so it's a real thing that i know and unfortunately so that person they not like some big mogul nowadays whatever trajectory they were on like they they fell off yeah i say that but i want people to know that story because i could have said yes and i could have had something to this day that's a huge skeleton in my closet that i'm like damn bro like i'm traumatized behind. And I had to do that to get on. All I had to do to get on was be real, be righteous, and be relevant. You heard me? Keep going first, man. Absolutely.

And I want to ask you one last thing about imposter syndrome. Because you got a record called Imposter Syndrome. And you're clearly at a place of worthy right now. So when did you get to that place of worthy and was able to say, you know what? I know who I am. Anytime I'm entering a space where i feel like i'm being tolerated and not celebrated shout out to you for that i got that from you i still feel a sense of imposter syndrome in the music industry for the most part i feel like they

tolerate me but they don't celebrate me right my fans man my fans want me to win so bad that's why my fans like we'll name our own price D. We'll pay for your album. We'll go stream it too, but we'll pay up to $1,000 for your album. I got fans that love me. But the industry, bro, I still feel like they're like, dang, D got so many followers. He making so much noise. We got to let him on this.

So we got to open this door for him. But they just tolerate me. They don't necessarily celebrate me. So I still feel imposter syndrome a lot of times when I'm in industry spaces. Because you can kind of tell when people are like, you're too big and too powerful at this point to not have you here. But we ain't necessarily like championing you. Like you can see the industry pushing some people to the forefront. You know what I'm saying?

So it keeps me humble. It keeps me with a chip on my shoulder. It keeps me feeling like I'm that underdog from New Orleans. I'm David with more good lives to have to fight. You think it's more like Sharif in minutes, though? It's like, oh, here come D1 again. He about to preach to us and tell us put the weed down and put the liquor down. I don't, bro, because I never get that from people.

They're like, man, you come across preachy or anything like that. I'm passionate, but that's why I'm able to be on the phone with a Boosie, on the phone with a Kodak Black, you know what I mean? Kicking it with Manifresh, Juvenile, like all these. Like, man, I'm just a regular dude, bro. I'm really just a regular dude who is simply not a slave to money, and I know who I serve, who we say we all serve, which is God. So because of that, cool, man.

I can't be content with things that's not glorifying god that's happening on my watch and in my space bro i'm on the breakfast club right now man i gotta say some stuff that's gonna impact people even after we long gone and we're not on this earth no more i understand it because the the negative is definitely amplified so when people say things like man how come d1 just don't reach out to some of these people personally i mean you got to say what you're saying about the positive and you got to amplify that too, right? Like that got to be said publicly if the negative is public. Thank you, bro. Thank you.

Listen, man. Public actions deserve public responses. We have an industry that is putting this music out publicly every day. If I go on every playlist in the world right now, it's being curated with with murder music with music that's disrespecting our women that's glorifying drug dealing with that being said man it's got to be addressed publicly it can't be like why y'all hit all these individual artists up behind the scenes and i'm not interested in let me go at the industry who is the industry i don't know who the industry is y'all had uh leo cohen on here talking about hey hey i got miles to feed too

you know i'm saying, man? Listen, America doesn't want to heal your trauma. America wants to monetize your trauma. This industry don't want to heal your trauma. They want to monetize your trauma. So I'm like, let me empower the artists and the fans to simply be smarter and say, let's continue to make hip hop. Let's continue to listen to hip hop. But let's make a healthier version of it that's going to be better all of us you know i'm saying don't tell us about the platinum pledge

you get out the platinum pledge oh man so the platinum pledge all right in the music industry the highest standard of success is gone platinum right so i turn platinum into an acronym it stands for people leading a transformation involving newly unified mindsets that's what platinum stands for the platinum pledge simply says that we are taking a vow that we will not create support or promote music that's glorifying murder glorifying drug dealing glorifying the disrespect of our women and glorifying sexual irresponsibility that's the platinum pledge and I'm unifying people to say, yo, there's actually more of us who agree with this than don't agree with this.

But the industry will make you feel like, man, I'm the only one. I'm lame if I don't want to hear murder music. You know what I'm saying? So the platinum pledge, brother, thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people have signed it already, bro. Now I'm on The Breakfast Club talking about it.

People can go to my website, d1music.com, D-E-E, the number one, music.com, and go sign the platinum pledge. And I'm unifying all these thousands of people together to say, now here is how we create a healthier hip-hop space for all of us. That's what the platinum pledge is, bro. I would love for y'all to sign it, you hear me? Definitely gonna sign it. Real talk, man. That is life-changing, bro. That is life-changing when we see this ain't about canceling nobody this ain't about we don't love this person we want everybody to be a part of this shift but

we want to make it together 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.

That's huge, bro. So that's what the Platinum Pledge is. And I've been doing these meetings going from city to city called Rappers Only.

In New Orleans, I kicked it off in my hometown. We had 100 rappers in the same room. Gangsta rappers, Christian rappers, backpack rappers, females, all kind of stuff, right? And we in that rappers only and we talking about what's the mental side of what goes into why we make the music we make uh monetarily like how important is it to make money off of the music we make uh what's the message we want to put out there it's basically therapy for artists and me doing this and doing these rappers only meetings from city to city this stuff is making artists feel like,

damn, bro, like, finally I could express some stuff that I couldn't express to my fan base or I couldn't express, like, to other people that don't just get me, man.

Could you stop? Jesus, Jess. Why is that a headline? No. Jesus, no.

That's your Baltimore sister. Yeah, she is a Baltimore aunt. Don't do that. And Will is a great human. I would love for one of my daughters to bring home a Will Smith. But all right, let Will have her own. You know, that's fine. I bet you would.

Wow. But maybe you wouldn't. You don't know. Come on, Elstie. We don't know, that's fine. I bet you would. Wow. But maybe you wouldn't. You don't know. Come on outside. We don't know them people like that. All right. Bradley Cooper admits it took eight months to really love his daughter. Bradley Cooper recently appeared on the Armchair Expert podcast.

And these podcasts, they get funnier and funnier and more interesting and weird to me. Because he spoke on struggling to find a connection with his daughter when she was first born. I remember the first time I realized, because I was like, I would die in a second from my kid. I'm always like, if I'm being honest, I don't know. Like the first eight months, I'm like, I don't even know if I really love the kid. We don't know her yet. It's dope. It's cool.

I'm watching this thing morph. Oh, shut up, Bradley. Not you. Talk to her. What is she, a car? That sounds crazy. Yeah, it's like it's a car or something. Yeah, I didn't know it was that.

If he was to say he didn't have a connection yet, I would understand that as a father. Right. If he was to say you didn't love the child at eight months is insane. Absolutely. Because fathers do not have... Shut up, Envy. You got six kids, I got four. Fathers do not have the connection mothers have in the first eight months.

It's impossible. No, you don't have the same connection, but you still have a connection. If y'all carry the baby for nine months, the baby's sucking off the breast still you know what i mean the baby always want to be in your arms it does take a while for a father and child to develop that connection the way the mother and child no you'll never have a connection that the mother will have though you'll never have that connection but you have a connection absolutely positively as soon as you have a connection to the baby i'm I'm assuming as a father, while it's still in your woman's belly at this point, at some point. I don't think like the mother, though.

I mean, you can never be like the mother. Take away from the mother, just you being that child's father. Correct. Especially if you want the baby. Anyway, listen, so this is what he said, because after a while, that feeling went away. And then all of a sudden. I love that honesty, by the way. That's my experience. A lot of people's I think, and they're afraid to say that.

I mean, my experience was totally that. And then all of a sudden, it's like, no question. I just like, who is the woman? What are you talking about? Like, you think, you know, a lot of people are afraid to say that. First of all, a lot of things don't need to be said when it comes to your children because these humans have to grow up and be your age and look at that you know what i'm saying so i hope for god she don't have children that actually heard that because it sounds like she was like a little in agreeance but everything does not have

to be said well and there's too many microphones around for that just i know right a lot of equipment is being sent it doesn't even make sense what he's saying because like you said just fathers have a connection if you're in your child's life you have a connection you'll never have a connection like the mom that connection will never happen right you have a connection you feed your child you hold your child you change your child's pampers you have that connection i'm watching it grow and i'm seeing it morph into this what are you talking about when he when he says things like he didn't love his child, that's strange. Yeah, very.

If he would have just said, you know, I had to develop a connection with my child, I absolutely would have understood that. Absolutely. You know, salute to all the fathers who are very active in their child's lives in the first eight, nine months. I don't know if that's majority of us. No, that's crazy. The women are doing way more than we are. Now, moving on. Dr. Umar andyati debate on who's

responsible for bbls taking over now at first i know the headline is kind of like what and i was about to be a throwaway too but after hearing them debate about it i agree with both of them you think women got the bbls more to impress their girlfriends i say more than to be viewed as attractive as a man i don't say more but i do think there's which one leads i think it's just for self-esteem i think sometimes women look in the mirror you hear what he just said but that's what self-esteem right to put themselves though don't have to be for another man but why is the self-esteem low without the bbl it could be based on your friends no it's based on the values of the culture and the society in which they live and we got to admit something black men

we have sexually objectified the black woman into a sexual instrument and you know why this hurts me who's the number one sex trafficking victim in america right now yadi teenage black girls i know that 12 to 17 they both right and they are definitely both right because i can even attest to that i have a friend who after i got like my fat transfer, which you know, which is the same thing as a BBL. I just was wasn't calling it that until everybody was like BBL, BBL. I got a BBL and I got my boobs done after I got that done. She who has always had a problem with her body. She always thought that she resembled a boy because her breasts were flat, but never had no hips.

No, no, you know, no, but nothing. She wanted it even more than another one of our you know no but nothing she wanted it even more than another one of our friends got it done and she wanted it even more that wasn't even to impress a man that was to impress herself when she looked in the mirror she always thought like even as a 16 year old like yo i i don't like the way i look so she would always wear baggy clothes you know what i'm saying and then there's the other side of it where do you where a lot of women do want to appeal to a man you know what what I'm saying? Both sides. So I agree with both sides.

We need more body positivity. Absolutely. You should love every shape. Yeah, and there are things that exist like bodily dysmorphia where people keep on working on themselves and working on themselves and they think as long as they do that, they'll be satisfied. But those people never end up satisfied. And we need to hear from more men or just people who love the thin women.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The natural bodies. The bigger women. You know what I mean? Yeah, which are natural bodies. That's right. BBL, she stands for Big Back Love. Absolutely.

So for everybody out there who has a big back love. No, seriously, if you're a lover of big back people. You are. Listen, listen, I have another story. I'm sorry. I dare you. Don't say another thing about a big back. Don't swear on that thing.

Go, Jess. Ignore him, Jess. Ignore him. Look, Terrence Howard ordered to pay over $900,000 in back taxes. Over nine years, Terrence racked up a $578,000 debt with the IRS. And over that time, over the course of time of him not paying it, it was interest and other penalties included. So now it's over

$900,000. And the Justice Department sued him in 2022. But he reportedly sent them a voice message refusing to pay it, yo. And it said 400 years of forced labor. He's talking about slavery here. And never receiving any compensation for it. Now you have the gall to try to

prosecute and charge taxes to descendants of a broken people that you are responsible for the now you have the gall to try to prosecute and charge taxes to descendants of a broken people that you are responsible for the cause for the causing the breakage and then he left another message because they ain't responding that they like give us the money he's gonna call back and said in truth the entire united states should by default become the property of the descendants of slaves but since you do not have the ability or the courage to do it let's try this in court we're gonna bring you down who i do agree with him that the descendants of slaves should not have to pay taxes just because that should be some type of form of reparations for us i really wish

right happened but i hate the headline that everybody's running with what they're saying terrence howard gets hit with tax whatever after making the comments no he had that before yeah that's why he made the comments and then not we're gonna bring you down no sir they're gonna bring you down in court if you don't pay them yeah so i just wanted to make that known y'all but that is just with the mess with the second hour her news is real and didn't wesley stumps have the same thing he didn't want to pay and they locked him up too right yeah but he ain't throw slavery at nobody oh he ain't throw slave okay all right well charlamagne who you giving your donkey to man let's talk about this greedy ass capitalist

society that we live in man we need uh gary what's gary's last name gary pill pill nick he's the ceo of kellogg's he needs to come to the front of congress we'd like to have a world all right we'll get to that next it's the breakfast Breakfast Club. Good morning. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a read? They gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am.

You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. You're the only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you give only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you give the dust the other day to, man?

Well, donkey of the day for Friday, March 1st, goes to Gary Pillnick, okay? Gary is the CEO of Kellogg's. Yes, Kellogg's. The home of your favorite cereals, okay? Everything from Froot Loops to Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops to Apple Jacks. Gary is the man with the plan behind all of that, okay?

Some of y'all listening to me right now, and you just poured some 2% over a bowl of Rice Krispies for the kids. OK, they should be drinking almond milk, but I digress. Now, I've told you all a million times that America does not know how to solve problems. And one of the biggest problems, if you ask me, the biggest problem they don't know how to solve is poverty. OK, people with money. I don't care if you're a billionaire millionaire even a thousandaire folks do not understand what is happening with the poor in this country

especially if you've never been poor okay the wealthy the rich the middle class they have no idea what is happening with the poor in this country and this latest statement from gary pilnick the ceo of kellogg's proves it he appeared on cnbc's squawk on the street and he said that poor families should eat cereal for dinner. Listen. The cereal category has always been quite affordable, and it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure. So some of the things that we're doing is first messaging. We've got to reach the consumer where they are.

So we're advertising about cereal for dinner. If you think about the cost of cereal for a family versus what they might otherwise do, that's going to be much more affordable. The other places that we like to go is we talk about making sure we have the right pack at the right price in the right place. So having a different size pack that will have a different price point, that will take some pressure off the consumer while they're shopping. So those are some of the things that we're doing. But in general, the cereal category is a place that a lot of folks might come to because the price of a bowl of cereal with milk and with fruit is less than a dollar. So you can imagine why a consumer under pressure might find that to be a good place to go. Right. I'm all for innovation and marketing, but the idea of having cereal for dinner,

is there the potential for that to land the wrong way? We don't think so. In fact, it's landing really well right now, Carl. When we look at all of our data, of course we would know that breakfast cereal is the number one choice for in-home consumption. We understand that for breakfast. It turns out that over 25% of our consumption

is outside the breakfast occasion. A lot of it's at dinner, and that occasion continues to to grow as well as the snacking occasion but um cereal for dinner is something that is probably more on trend now and we would expect to continue as that consumer is under pressure hey yo gary pilnick i need you to shut the f up forever okay shut your rich privileged disconnected ass up forever first of all two things are wrong with this statement. And Gary, you would notice if you decided to actually have conversations with the people

you're talking about. Poor people been eating cereal for dinner. Okay? We've been eating breakfast for dinner and not because we wanted to. All right? And how about this? The cereal some of us had to eat for dinner wasn't even Kellogg's. You know why?

Because we couldn't afford it. Great value everything. All right? Store brand everything Because we couldn't afford it. Great Value Everything. All right? Store brand everything. We couldn't afford Rice Krispies, so we had the toasted rice. All right? We didn't have Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. We had Great Value Frosted Flakes.

There's a difference between Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, okay? Because they had Tony the Tiger. Great Value Frosted Flakes had a polar bear who didn't even have a name, as far as I knew. Okay? And he might not have even been a real polar bear because he had ski goggles on, gloves, and a scarf. Having to wear that defeats the whole purpose of being a polar bear, so he might not have even been a real polar bear because he had ski goggles on gloves and a scarf having to wear that defeats the whole purpose of being a polar bear so he might not have even really been one kellogg's raising brand they had the sun on the box great value raising brand does not you know why because the sun don't shine on the poor in this country the nerve of gary

pilnick to tell poor people to eat cereal for dinner. This is why I say America doesn't know how to solve problems. This is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and the only thing he can come up with in regard to the people being hungry in this country is they should consider eating cereal for dinner. And guess what, Gary? Sadly, you know, we're already doing that, okay? If folks have to eat cereal for dinner, they they probably going to still be eating great value. Not Kellogg's because Kellogg's is still too expensive.

I grew up in 1978, single wide trailer, dirt road, mouse corner, South Carolina, and Kellogg's anything was a luxury. Okay, it was a luxury then. And guess what? Prices have risen to 28% over the last four years. People can't even afford to eat what you're suggesting to eat. At least not your brand. Okay, listen to me, Greg. Over the last four years, people can't even afford to eat what you suggested to eat. At least not your brand. OK, listen to me, Greg.

Kellogg's latest financial reports. And you know this because you're the CEO of the company. The company's current revenue is over 15 billion dollars. They made that in 2022. And that was an increase over 2021 when they made over 14 billion. Moral of the story is they make crazy paper. How about take some of that money and use it to help the poverty problem in this country y'all make more than enough money to be a part of some type of real solution and you should because overcoming

poverty is not a gesture of charity it is an act of justice it is the protection of a fundamental human right the right to dignity and a decent life you know who said that nelson mother freaking mandela y'all got all the money all the resources and you telling me the best idea you got is for folks to eat cereal for dinner i got a question for gary and other rich people in positions of power who have the ability to at least attempt to solve some of america's problems how long y'all gonna keep playing in poor people's faces how long before poor people get fed up and come to snatch your plate you're making millions you run a company making billions and you tell poor people they need to eat cereal for dinner

even though poor people are way ahead of you and been doing that how long are you going to play with people's problems and not come up with solutions because i'm telling you america we are right where a great black philosopher by the name of Tupac Amaru Shakur told us we would be in this greedy-ass capitalist society. Let's listen. If I know that in this hotel room they have food every day and I'm knocked on the door every day to eat

and they open the door, let me see the party, let me see them throwing salami all over the place, just like throwing food around we're telling me there's no food in here you know I'm saying every day I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in you know I'm saying we are hungry please let us in we are hungry please let us in after about a week that song was gonna change the we hungry we need some food after two three weeks it's like you know give me all the food breaking out the door after a year and you just like you know i'm saying i'm picking the lock coming through the door blasting you know it's like you hungry you reached your level you

don't want anymore we asked 10 years ago we was asking with the panthers we was asking with them you know a civil rights movement we was asking know, now, those people that were asking, they're all dead and in jail. So now, what do you think we're going to do? Ask? Please give Gary Pelnick, the CEO of Kellogg's, the biggest hee-haw. Don't tell me you can't do nothing, okay? I got a partnership with the food bank in Harlem. You can go to foodbanknyc.org right now to make a donation they give away a hundred thousand meals a month right there in

harlem okay and and groceries to people one dollar provides 10 meals okay so if i'm in partnership with them imagine what kellogg's could do that's all i'm saying. That's crazy. Mm-hmm. You hungry? Absolutely. I'm not going to eat no damn cereal. Okay. Okay. That's because we got food out there. All right.

Salute to Will and Daughters catering, you know, for providing food. You know, got everybody in here getting their back big. Yes, we got,

speaking of back big or back small, whatever, I'm going to eat and we got jerk wings. It's jerk, what is it uh jerk chicken wings macaroni and cheese they got two kinds of macaroni and cheese

But let me ask you a question, right? He was talking about broke meals, right? When people can't afford it, what meals do people use? And he was saying that cereal should be,

why? Why would we start talking about food? You see what I'm saying? Why fat Big Mac coming in? Why? Why? Why? Why?

God damn, that chair became a low rider. Listen, what was the reason? Hey, just to let y'all know, they got tater tots too, and then they got two different types of mac and cheese. What are you talking about? I heard Jess talking about it. So, as the president of the Fat Lies Matter, we don't need the rest of the menu.

800-585-1051. What are those meals? Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. deals let's discuss it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now charlamagne gave Donkey the day to who?

The CEO of Kellogg's. His name is Gary Pilnik. And he was on CNBC's Squawk on the Street. And he said that poor families should eat cereal for dinner. I mean, the reality is poor families in this country, we've been eating cereal for dinner. And the funny thing about what he he's he's saying is he's telling he's the ceo of kellogg's you couldn't we couldn't even afford kellogg's we was eating all the great value cereals you know back then so that's what that's what and even in over the last

four years kellogg's has increased in price 28 but people probably still can't afford to eat kellogg's but i will say this when you think of of cheap meals i don't necessarily go to cereal first right you go to ramen noodles you go to oodles of noodles you go to peanut butter and jelly you go to toast you know i don't think of cereal first you know why yeah so it's actually a good concept of what he's saying because each box you can do 25 servings of depending on who's eating it but it's not a good concept of what he's saying and the reason it's not a good concept of what he's saying is because he's a multi-millionaire of a billionaire company if people like that if the only solution they can come up with the people being hungry in this country is eat cereal for

dinner that's not a good that's not a good concept and the people you talking about that can afford uh peanut butter and oodles and noodles that's a luxury think about that the people we talking about are the ones that can only afford to eat cereal and not even the name brand kind but people might be getting mad at you too because you keep talking about we we poor they're like all right well come over here with us since i didn't say but i didn't say we said we but i grew up like that i grew up in a single wide trailer in monks corner south carolina on a dirt road uh you know and yeah so we weren't we weren't we weren't the richest by any means.

in your community and make a donation. You know what I'm saying? I do a lot of work with the food bank in Harlem. Their website is foodbanknyc.org. Literally,

one dollar provides 10 meals, you know, one dollar provides ten meals, you know, and they give out 100,000 meals a month and groceries. salute the local organization in your community

that's, you know, helping to feed people. And I want to tell folks, salute to Colleen Witt. She does a podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network

But since I already teased one of his records, I figured I'd let somebody else get some shine today. So, it's this record by Meese and Isaiah Rashad called Hot hot spot i don't like how the vocals sound i like that i like i like the song but it sounds like he's talking through a phone or something like it's like a contrast you hear i think it's just how or where the record started because me's part sounds more clear and then when isaiah comes on it kind of has like a filter on it that was isaiah just now that was isaiah okay and he actually gave a really great verse, so shout out to Meeze and Isaiah Rashad for that. Hot spot. I really enjoy that record, and I hope we get a video.

But next is That Mexican O.T., my current favorite rapper right now, favorite spitter, lyricist, and he did a record with Moneybagg.

Shout out to all my Rambos out there. I don't even know what it means, but shout out to y'all. But the next Certified Vibe live event, which was formerly known as Pass the Ox Live, is going down on March 15th. And since it's Women's History Month, we got an all-women's lineup. And I'm super excited to announce this partnership with 2LOST Distribution, who they're pretty much helping me fund the event, but then also helping the independent artists with streaming, analytics,

and, you know, it's just a good little situation. So if you guys want to use their platform for free for three months, you can use my code CERTIFIED, and you're on there for three months.
