Back to the work week. Good morning. Yes, good morning. How you feeling? I'm feeling good. I had a good weekend. I went home, spent it with my family. Any weekend that I don't work or don't feel like staying up here, I be going home. And then my son's spring break started this week, so that's why he's here with me all week. Okay. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Because spring break, he wants to... I know. It's a good and bad thing. Okay. Because it's like, I love him, I miss him so much, but he's going to want to do something fun every day. Every day. So I got to figure out something every day to do. Every day.

Every day. I know. Well, shout out to everybody out in Tampa. I was in Tampa over the weekend. Well, Friday I was in Hampton University talking to the students, and then I went to Tampa. Shout to Tyler Lepley. You know Tyler Lepley, the actor? Oh, yeah.

He opened up a restaurant in Tampa. Nice. So he has a restaurant in Tampa, and it was his birthday party. So it was the grand opening slash birthday I DJed, and it was packed. It was totally sold out. So he has a restaurant in Tampa and it was his birthday party. So it was the grand opening slash birthday I DJed and it was packed. It was totally sold out. So many people. So salute to him. I had a great time out in Tampa. Was the food good? Food was good. The restaurant was really, really

dope. It wasn't one of those restaurants where sometimes you just see people just put their name on it and just open it up. No, they totally redid the whole restaurant over. It was nice. So it was pretty dope. I don't know why Tampa, though. Yeah, he's from Philly, I believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I don't know if he moved to Tampa, if he lives in Tampa, but it was in Tampa. No, they live in LA. Really? But it was dope, though. It was really, really dope. Had a good time out there. And the weather was beautiful, so it's always a good thing. So let's get the show cracking.

Joyner Lucas will be joining us this morning. His album, Not Now, I'm Busy, is out now is out now so we're gonna be kicking with him about that and also uh nina turner will be joining us yeah now what do y'all discuss because i know what happened friday i wasn't here politics and you know that's not my thing but it became my thing for a minute i was like okay let me let me barge in here okay i sure did i was okay she broke things down for me so i can understand and i was like okay cool because i was asking her how can we get the youth like like my generation and younger, to want to be more into it? Because it matters. I didn't think it mattered.

So I started sitting up here with y'all. For real. Are you into it now? I'm into it now. I'm getting into it. You know, diving deeper and deeper every week. So, yeah. And she has a really good point.

So I like her. A lot of it is, in my opinion, I feel like, and no disrespect to car sales people, but it sounds like a bad car sales person. Like they're selling you everything. Like, oh yes, we're going to do this when we get in office. And then we're going to do that. And then we're going to do this. And then we're going to do that. And then when they get in office, we never see any of that.

It's the lemon. Yeah. It's the lemon. Yeah. That's what it feels like. Right. All right. When we come back, we got front page news.

Teslin Figaro will be joining us. And I think Charlemagne will be on. He should be here by then. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

All right, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about Donald Trump. There's something that he needs to do today or he's in some big ish. Let's discuss. Yes, absolutely. Today is the deadline for Donald Trump trump to post the 454 million dollar bond or new york attorney general leticia james could seize his bank accounts and properties now trump is saying he has the money but he was planning on using it for the campaign take a

listen donald trump is running out of time tonight to protect his properties from potential seizure by the state of new york he has until until Monday to secure nearly half a billion dollar bond to satisfy the court's civil fraud judgment against him, which his lawyers say cannot be done. This is manifest injustice. It is impossible. It's an impossibility. But the former president today claiming on social media he has, quote, almost 500 million dollars in cash, which he had intended to spend on his campaign, despite

having neither spent nor loaned any of his own money to his campaign since 2016. I'd like to take the cash away so I can't use it on the campaign. And this is just a corrupt group of people. It's election interference. Mr. Trump's attorneys have argued he should not be liable for the bond while his case is being appealed. The attorney general is poised to move quickly to seize his assets if she decides to. So bottom line to recap, people are calling Cap on that.

They're saying, you know, he didn't plan on spending it on the campaign because he hasn't did it since 2016. But, you know, that's what he's saying. He's saying, I need the money. So this is clearly another call for his supporters to donate to that new pack, you know, that was set up to help with these fees. So we'll see. I've been looking to try to see if they've released any numbers to see. We reported on it last week to see how many people have donated to it.

I'm sure they did. So we will see. Today is the big day. I don't think they're going to take anything. I think it's going to be a process. They just can't walk in this house and say it's mine, right? It's going to be a process. They have to do some filing and and lock it but they're saying that truth social they're about to go public they just got to prove to

go public and once that goes public it'll be worth like three billion dollars and he'll have more than enough cash to to solve that well right well they also said it's gonna take i think they said about six months i don't want to quote the time but it's not just like an instant where you instantly going to get that cash. That's going to take that's going to take some time, too. But yes, if it goes public with true social, that's going to you know, they can bring more money, but not right away. But there has the attorney general has already filed, I guess, basically some paperwork already in play to be able to try to see some of those properties i forgot which one it was envy but um they're ready to go uh so that it won't take as long as as one would think but no it's not an overnight it's not like you're going tomorrow and take the property but but all his properties are not worth 450 million dollars he has the golf course he has the main property

i think it's 234 acres in westchester uh he has his triplex in the city and it was trump towers i don't think any of all those properties were $450 million. Well, you can combine properties. Maybe there can be a difference on, I guess, when he can get the bond for the rest. I really have no idea. We will find out today.

Yeah, we'll find out today. We will definitely find out today. I also wanted to cover the Powerball. That's what he needs to play. That's what Trump needs to play. He could always play that. Speaking of cash, I know you guys cover the Powerball. That's what he needs to play. That's what he needs to play. He could always play that. So speaking of cash, I know you guys follow the Powerball. I've never played. I need to play.

But I saw the story and thought about you. So it is the largest jackpot that ever. Well, $1.9 billion with the Mega Millions and Powerball combined. Take a listen. Nobody matched all the numbers in last night's drawing. So now the huge jackpot is up to 800 million dollars for monday couple that with the mega millions jackpot now at 1.1 billion that's nearly 2 billion dollars up for grabs for one or maybe a few lucky folks

i won last week you did how much you won eight dollars i don't know i won eight dollars last week. I felt good about myself. I bet we wouldn't know if you won the big one. No. We definitely wouldn't know. What up, Charla? Yo.

What's the word? Good morning, Charlamagne Tha God. Good morning. And that is Front Page News. Now, what are we talking next hour? Well, next hour, 10% of U.S. workers' jobs may be exposed to artificial intelligence. We've talked about that before, but I want to give you a new update from the White House.

They even said that it could possibly allow school bus drivers, school buses to drive themselves with no drivers. So, I want to see what you guys think about that and some updates on tattoos. If you have a tattoo, I want to give you some updates. I have six of them, so I thought this was interesting. Yeah, what you mean, Jesus?

I wonder what you're about to tell us about tattoos i'm like what you're about to tell me oh yeah how many do you have jess girl i i'm still counting i have a sleeve so i don't i i stop counting but my little sister get one like every weekend so i'm just treading what you're about to tell us okay it's some it's some good news do you have tattoos envy i don't think yeah i got a sleeve oh you got a sleeve.

Hi, this is Fred. Hey, Fred. Good morning, Fred. Hi, I just got into a fight. Damn, did you win? Yeah, I was going to say, did you win? You lost. Sound like we should say, are you okay?

No, see, like when he got, I was gonna say did you win? You lost. Sound like we should say are you okay? Nah, see, like when he got, he was hitting me in the face and then randomly he just kissed me, man. He kissed me on my lips, man. He burned the fight. He kissed you?

Kicked him in his lips. No, he kissed me. Oh my God, you got kissed by a dude after the fight. Well, we know who lost. He burned the fight. He burned the fight, man.

It's wrong. Why would he do that? Who was you fighting? His boyfriend. Yeah. This is a lover's quarrel. I know a lover's quarrel when I hear it. Why would you kiss me while we fighting?

It's just wrong, man. You'll be all right. Yeah. It's okay. Win some, you lose some. Yeah, it could have been worse. You could have been in jail and lost the fight. You're in jail and you lose the fight.

You're mean. You're mean. Would you like to get kissed during the fight? He might like it. Yeah. But thank you, Fred. You win some and you lose the fight. You're mean. Would you like to get pissed during the fight? He might like it. But thank you, Fred. You win some, you lose some. But what did they say at the end of Friday? You win some, you lose some, but you live to be gay another day.

You know, but you live to fight another day. Oh, my God. Hello, who's this? This is Devon from Jersey. What's going on? Do you think everything's going on? What's going on, Uncle Sean? Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. I'm in a goofy mood. I just kind of want y'all to rate my intro to y'all in the morning. Good morning. How y'all rate that? It's kind of trash. You're kind of bored. You're kind of bored. It's Monday morning. You left off like nine yos. Yeah. You didn't say Charlemagne.

Yeah. I appreciate that. I do too. I appreciate the effort. Have a good one, brother. 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. 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? It's your boy, Lovey from the Bronx. Lovey from the BX. What up, Lovey? Good morning.

I just want to piggyback off my wife, Taz, and say we need more political awareness when it comes to voting. And we don't realize the significant role The Breakfast Club plays and how we move the meter when it comes to this voting. We need what when it comes to voting? More organization.

As far as what political party we're going to follow. Because we move the meter when it comes to voting. We don't realize what we do. I don't think black people should be beholden to any political party. Not Democrat or Republican. No, I respect that. Me either. But what are we going to do about it and and i think y'all need to understand that black people aren't monolithic either so to try to get all black people on one page to do one thing

is never ever ever gonna happen yeah and i think when people always talk about vote your interest i think everybody's interest is different when it comes to each and everybody's family so and that's fine by the the way. Yep. Okay. Guess who loves Lovey? Hello, who's this? It's TJ. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest.

Okay, so here's what's on my chest. First of all, get this out the way. That was real dumb what Fannie Willis did as far as having a relationship, right? Everybody know that. But that has nothing to do with the legalities of the case. In my opinion, I think she should file a cease

and desist order against Congress because... What are you talking about? Wait, do y'all know? What did we say? I'm talking about finding... Oh, I didn't even catch that. It was no segue. He just went right in. This is a scam, bro. Yeah, I am right in it because, I mean, I've been wanting to say that.

I'm just not getting around to calling. But, you know, Congress is trying to interfere with that situation at every turn, right? They're not chiming in on any other criminal cases, but they're trying to run interference for Trump and attacking her at every turn. So she should follow this cease and desist order. And I'm not a lawyer. I don't even know anything about law. But I know that it's wrong what they're doing. And I know that she should try to defend herself.

They call her a racist because of what she said at the church. But Trump is the first one that, you know, stated anything about race when she first indicted him. She said the race, he said the race is funny, right? So, you know, I just feel like, you know, they should just sit back and let him attack, attack, attack. If you're always being attacked, you're on defense, there's no offense. That's my two cents. Maybe she'll hear and maybe she'll make some grounds and start defending herself and get

an offense. Okay. Alright, thank you, brother. Absolutely. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to vent. Phone lines are wide open. Now, we got Jess with the mess coming up. What are we talking about? Yes, yes. We did. Princess Kate announces that she is undergoing treatment for cancer Friday, so that's the first thing i have to report okay did they call you from the

uk yes they did they called me when i was here but we were already off air and she you know she made an announcement okay yeah all right so they got the exclusive and i didn't get it because we were already off air oh so but you didn't know i didn't know i already knew but i'm about to make a video on Instagram. That's not how I do things anymore. Okay. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get to Jess with the mess. The News is real. The News is real.

Jess Hilarious. Jess Hilarious. Jess Hilarious. Jess is going to bring numbers. Jess with the mess. where's my other intro come on now it's just with the worldwide right just with the world my mess all right uh princess kate announces that she is undergoing treatment for cancer so this is the latest update that i have on my uk news on friday princess kate um announced on um via video message that she has been battling cancer the princess of wales is 42 for those who didn't know and she is going through preventative chemotherapy after her

abdominal surgery showed cancer had been present um kate did not make it clear exactly what type of cancer that she has, but her doctor was basically saying like it could be it looks like early colon cancer that was removed and cured surgically or early ovarian uterine cervical cancer that was found incidentally. So

basically, they don't know. King Charles III put out a statement saying he is so proud of Catherine for her courage. And that's her real name? Catherine? Because he called her Catherine. Her name is Kate. That's not right. Kate is short for Catherine. Oh, okay. But Kate is K

and Catherine is C over here. Oh, I don't know. I just spelled her name fully. Well, you said he's so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did. King Charles is receiving cancer treatment in the same hospital as Princess Kate. Because I did report to you guys that he also has cancer as well. Princess Harry and Meghan also show their support for Kate speaking out in a statement shared with people on Friday.

And they said we wish well and healing for Kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace Harry and Meghan said in the statement and Kate is C-A-T-E too it is it was just giving like alright come on call her Kate

what I noticed and I want to shout out is her husband was not by her side in that video where she had told us that she had Um, what I noticed, uh, and I want to shout out is her husband was not by her side and that, um, and that, uh, video where she had told us that she had cancer. And I find, I think that's crazy. She did speak on him. She said me and me and Prince and I mean, me and me and Prince will, or, you know, but

well, it wasn't right there. And so I find a problem with that, but we have more to report. So we'll, we'll see. But I do, um, send her healing energy don't you know the human in me says i'm sending her healing energy and that's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna send her healing energy but it does make me feel terrible when i feel like i just don't be believing nobody because yeah we're in this era where you know everything feels like a damn conspiracy yeah what do you think it is i'm just i don't know if it's probably because of all the news reports

just was doing and the stuff right all the news reports Jess was doing and the stuff all day in the news. Right, right. You couldn't find her and all of a sudden she just pops up and says she has cancer. Yeah.

But it makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense, you know, and we're not saying that she does not, but we're, this would be like the big whammy

to make everybody shut up about everything else, you know, like the impersonator and, you know, her and Will are going through things and him, you know,

he got a couple honeys running around the UK. All of those stories make us skeptical. Everything. But we shouldn't be that way. We should not, but they shouldn't make us that way either. However, I am praying for her. The Daily Wire severs ties with Candace Owens.

The right-wing media outlet co-founded by Ben Shapiro said Friday that it had severed ties with Candace Owens. And Owens took to her own post saying, the rumors are true. I am finally free. OK, spoken like a true black woman. If you would like to support my work, you can head to CandaceOwens.com where you will be directed to my locals page. Or you can give a gift at GoCandace.com. I don't know how many gifts you can get. But there will be many announcements in weeks to come.

All right. So basically, when she was up here, she spoke a little bit about that before they severed ties with her. There was a video circulating of him calling me a disgrace or in a faux professional or whatever it was. I decided to choose peace. And then when I chose peace, he responded to the peace with not not peace. So why wouldn't he just fire you? Well, as I explained on Tucker Carlson's show show like Ben doesn't have the power to fire me I mean there was rumors for a while that uh Candace in the daily why I was gonna part ways

yeah hence why I asked her that question to begin with but Candace is gonna be more than fine because what folks don't understand Candace has a huge huge audience already so she keeps you to keep doing what she's doing, which is her podcast and YouTube. She'll do that independently. Or she'll partner with somebody like Tucker Carlson. Yeah. So this is her saying she's free. This seems like a win for her. And I don't

understand how somebody can be like so so hated but have millions and millions of viewers and followers and stuff. Right. Because she'll be fine. That's just like anybody. I tell y'all about the rule of ten all the time. The rule 10 three people gonna like it three people not gonna like it four people don't even know what the hell's going on i love and that's for everybody on this planet okay anybody that does anything i don't care if you do radio podcast sing whatever it is you're gonna have but not drugs but you're gonna have in of 10, you're going to have three people who like it,

three people who don't, four don't even know what the hell's going on. That's right. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

as gross as other things that couples do. Back in like the 50s even, how many times did you see like, probably never, but like on Leave It To Beaver or like movies from back then or even the 80s, how many times did you see like little boys would go out

with like their little pop guns and they would cut their fingers and like be blood brothers, right? And they're like, we're best friends forever now. And they would like smush the blood together on their fingers. That like be blood brothers, right? And they're like, we're best friends forever now. And they would like smush the blood together on their fingers. That's not satanic, right? That's normal and that's cute.

That's sweet. That's like an innocent like- Little bond. Yeah, it's a little bond between kids who love each other. They have a pure friendship. It's like that, except instead of rubbing your fingers together, the drop of blood goes in your mouth oh that was before diseases so many diseases were so uh so known but she did say something else do

you have the other clip but she said yeah she did um say something else i didn't know that was gonna play no she basically said um i think you should let her say well do we have it okay how long play it but guess what i think is weird i think it's weird that girls are out here letting guys in their mouth and they don't know these guys you're letting somebody put their sperm in your mouth and you don't know what he did he doesn't even have a job you met him on or whatever he's in a startup and you just let him in your mouth that's disgusting that makes my back hurt that makes me sweaty so f**k you you're so offended that i got a drop of machine

gun kelly's blood in my mouth well some people were saying it was a cup some people were saying it was a drop listen let the people do what they want i think the problem is that we know you know what i'm saying stop putting your business out there you know what she said is kind of sensitivity training well if you're letting random strangers ejaculate in your mouth you shouldn't judge is what she's saying well i i still think she brought all this up and this is why the backlash is coming it's like like whatever you this is what comes with it. You drink cow's blood if you want to, that's fine. Whether it's a drop or a cup, don't throw some ice in it,

just sugar, whatever you want to do. Throw some ice in it. Go ahead. But the fact that everybody know now, now everybody calling her a witch. That's what it is. The only reason that there's even an opinion about this is because I guess we saw her.

She told us. Yeah. It's like, so girl. It's not like people running around here talking about, hey, I let strangers ejaculate in my mouth. Right. I mean, that's just something that we know, but nobody ever did it. Take that clip.

It says that clip of Charlamagne saying that. Yeah. Take that clip. Yeah. Okay. That's just a mess for the first hour. Okay. Everybody grow up.

All right. When we come back, we got front page news. Tezlin Figaro will be joining us. And then Joyner Lucas will be here. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out The Breakfast Club.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, let's get into some front page news. You've been doing the brackets or you don't do March Madness? Yeah, I mean, my favorite right now is women's basketball. You know what I'm saying? Because I got into women's basketball like when Don Staley came to the South Carolina Gamecocks.

That's my wife's alma mater. So I'll be watching the women's basketball. Okay. So the Lady Gamecocks advanced to the Sweet 16. Yes, they did. Yes. That's all that matters. What about you, Jess?

I'm actually going to go check them out Friday. Are you going to go to Albany? Yeah, I wanted to go to Columbia this weekend, but I couldn't get down there. But I'm going to go to Albany Friday. Okay. All right. What about you, Jess? You doing your brackets?

Yeah. No, she's not. She has no idea what we're talking about. None at all. Yeah. All right. What up, Jess? My girl lost last night, though, man.

Slew to Ohio State, man. I can't remember the young lady name. The, the, the, the, uh. Big center? The stout. Jesus. I was going to say the stout one. You know what I'm saying?

But Biggest was tall. You know what I mean. I know what you mean i know what you mean yeah she's no joke what's her name you pull up what's her name she's dropped 40 the other night she did i'll get it in a minute all right what up tess what's going on dj mv charlotte rain to god just hilarious good morning let's talk about this workforce okay so according to the white house analysis, about 10% of U.S. workers are in jobs that face the greatest risk of disruption from AI. And we've talked about this many times. We're going to keep reporting on this because as AI continues to develop, we have to continue to study how is this going to affect jobs. Now, this report finds that workers with less education and lower income are especially exposed to AI, raising the risk that technology could amplify in equality so the report

is showing the white house reports are saying they are thinking deeply about how ai can affect these jobs and what ways they can make sure you know that they keep people working uh they say as a kind as with any kind of new technology experts believe ai will complement the work of some people by making them more productive but some jobs can be wiped out what i found was interesting in this report guys they talked about how possibly ai uh could eliminate school bus drivers and that the school bus could drive itself but they did say they would need still a human being on board to watch for behavior and you know make sure that everything is safe but i thought that was pretty interesting because i don't know if i'm really okay with um ai driving the kids what do you guys think um no i mean i'm

not okay with anything other than human driving kids so no yeah no that's not gonna make sense but i've been seeing ai like even if you go to a hotel now sometimes uh they don't even have room service it's actually the robots that's delivering the food. It's not an actual person. Oh, wow. Damn, I don't tell you that. No. But I've been noticing that even Amazon, they've been doing this for the last, I know, last year there was a trial where the Amazon packages are actually delivered from a drone. Oh, wow.

So, yeah, so they are definitely cutting out a lot of jobs. How soon before they call us robot phobic? How soon before those of us who don't want artificial intelligence uh who don't want artificial intelligence who don't want artificial intelligence delivering anything to us who don't want anything to do with it get labeled uh robot robot phobic or something crazy like that i don't know but where do mvb like he's saying drones deliver his amazon packages he getting robots to clean up at time like with you went on something that we don't know but even when you go to the um if you go to the, you know, Costco or BJ's,

they have robots. Robots shopping for you? Yeah, the robots. No, no. The robots is cleaning up the mess and all that. You never seen that? No, I ain't with you

because I don't know. You want some other stuff. I ain't never seen it. I think you've seen them just you don't realize they're robots. I think you got an idea of what a robot look like.

So, like, when you see those self-cleaning things in grocery stores and they just moving by themselves and cleaning the floor, that's a robot. Okay,'t know they um tears now they try and say I only like I see robots anyway Anyway, Taylor. What are they saying? You don't know how to identify a robot. Again, robot phobic.

By the way, they're going to say that's offensive soon. Oh, my God. They're going to be like, you're making fun of the robot. Watch. Well, it's coming. Well, I thought this was important. 14% of high school graduates lacking a four-year college degree have jobs that are high risk for AI exposure with low performance requirements by comparison. 6% of workers with a bachelor's degree fall into a higher risk.

And basically to sum that up, to make that simple is even if you don't have a high school degree and you work in a job that is, you know, that requires some type of physical demand of the jobs that require a higher skill will be safer than those that don't so um for the example you guys just gave if it's just delivering something or something but you know that's where ai can possibly replace your job but if it's something like a plumber for example you know i guess they probably could make a robot to do that come in the house and fix the toilet but those are still jobs that you know will require that are a higher skill but may not require a higher education if that makes sense now let's talk about these tattoos yeah so um just a quick update want to give you update on some tattoos did you know it could possibly help your immune system take a listen our skin is our biggest organ so doctors doing this research say when we get a tattoo our body

reacts as if our skin is getting attacked and that perceived invasion of our largest organ our skin results in a reaction that could boost our immune system dr. Christopher Lin from the University of Alabama told parade online our skin is where the immune response starts calling it the main defense adding anything that stimulates stress or injury anywhere on the skin turns on or stimulates a global immune response much like an effective vaccine it's a challenge to our immune system with the goal of making it stronger people with more tattoos appear to have higher levels of immune molecules including antibodies but researchers point out more antibodies doesn't always translate

into a better immune system and no one knows exactly how long the effects really last this is really good guys now they said that of course you know it doesn't cure the common cold but what they've also found with their support is it may allow them to look at uh opportunities to have vaccine shots not go as deep into the bodies because they're using how tattoos work they're saying that possibly vaccine shots could be on the surface more like a tattoo opposed to going to you know deep into into the tissue so i thought that was interesting but i also want to bring up another point uh that tattoo inky that was a very positive but i do want you to know um that there's also another story that i connected to this about tattoo ink and how it's not as regulated as you think so about 90 of the tattoo

ink is mislabeled there was a study that said 50 54 inks were analyzed and only 29 reported the correct pigment so a lot of those pigments for example one called propylene a guy lock uh caused allergic reactions skin rash itching which is you know some of the things that you can expect some people not reacting to a tattoo but i thought that was important important and envy you know you talked about you guys were talking about politics at the beginning and senator turner and how you know we all were always wondering how does politics matter these are the small things that politics can make a difference the fda is beginning to monitor more regulations so in 2022 congress passed an act

called the modernization of cosmetics regulation act and that gave the fda the authority to regulate tattoo inks so again politics can be in the smallest or the largest matters are not always the drama that we talk about on a daily basis but things that you know just affect us like this like making sure we have good tattooing for those of us who like tattoos okay okay well thank you tess and artie crooks is uh the young lady's name Artie Crooks is the freshman center from Ohio State. She be balling. They lost last night to Stanford, though. Yep.

His album, Not Now, I'm Busy, is out right now. We're going to kick it with Joyner Lucas when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess and Larry. It's y'all. I mean, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.

His album is out right now. Not Now, I'm Busy. Ladies and gentlemen, Joyner Lucas. Joyner. Welcome, brother. What's up? What's up, G? How you doing? How you feeling, I'm Busy. Ladies and gentlemen, Joyner Lucas. Joyner. Welcome, brother. What's up? What's up, G? How you doing?

How you feeling? I'm good, man. You good? Yeah, I'm good. How y'all feeling? Good? Good. You got some good hair products going on in your life, don't you? Yes, you do.

I'm like, this is conditioned. The curls. The curls. This is so good. That's so good. Not Now, I'm Busy, man. Tell me about that album title. So, yeah, it's just Not Now, I'm Busy is, you know, I've been in my life for the last couple years.

You know, just really not having time for a lot of things that are even important. You know what I mean? So, just trying to balance everything. And there's also a double message if you listen to the album as well about, you know, me killing my old self to become the new, you know, version of myself that I am today. That title, though, a lot of people say staying busy is a response to unresolved trauma. Yeah. So are you really busy or are you trying to avoid something? I think that sounds pretty accurate, to be honest with you.

I think it's a little bit of both as far as really being busy, for sure, and then a response to unresolved trauma, for sure. Now, your albums, your videos videos and the stuff that you put out you think about it before you put it out right you're just not doing a record it's like the music you're putting out is intentional to to help where does that come from because you know watching your videos it's like it's they're movies they're self movies but they always have a message like it's meaningful i think honestly i think it's beyond me you know when i create these records i think that even when i'm writing it i feel like i'm channeling something greater than me a higher power or something that's like helping me write these records

for me to be able to tap into you know to talk about some of these things that i talk about you know like with the record i just released best for me you know with jelly roll right shout out to my my brother jelly roll i've never been addicted to drugs but somehow i was able to write from a perspective of that as if i was you know what i'm saying and same thing with you know i'm not racist you know same thing with i'm sorry or any of the other records that touch on suicide or you know touch on other things that i'm channeling something greater than me that's helping me create these records i don't know where how what but i know that i'm getting some type of help from the higher me that's helping me create these records. I don't know where, how, what, but I know that I'm getting some type of help from the higher power that's helping me create these records and to channel those actual emotions on the concepts of some of those records.

And you're also helping other people, too, because if you're able to speak to something that you've never even experienced, you feel like you're kind of being used as a messenger for things. You actually are healing people as well. And this has been like a four year gap since ADHD. You know, you dropped that 2020. Is that why it was such a gap? Because you were going through certain things? Yeah, I think in between that, you know, really finding myself because this is the first time that I've ever been able to kind of relax and not be put in survival mode. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like this is the first time I've ever not, you know, the first time and not be put in survival mode you know what i'm saying so it's like this is the first time i've ever not you know the first time i haven't been in survival mode you know financially me a financial you know survival mode where i'm actually you know able to try to find myself you know because up until then i didn't really know who i was as a person because it's like i was always sidetracked by survival mode you know what i'm saying and it's like I was always sidetracked by survival mode. You know what I'm saying? And it's like once I had the financial stresses tooken off me and I was able to take a step back and get to kind of, you know, know myself, you know, I started really going through stuff.

You know what I'm saying? And I started to learn more about me, you know, just as a person. You know what I'm saying? And a lot of those things kind of shaped me into who I am today. Pause. I was going to ask you.

Why was that a pause? I didn't catch the pause in that one. And I got gay ears. Go back in. Go back in. Oh, my gosh. You got gay ears. What did you say?

I didn't catch that one. It shaped him, yo. There you go. I was going to say it shaped me. Pause. But you go back and catch that. His pauses go deeper. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? Pause. Pause. Pause. Pause. Again. For sure. You talked about killing yourself on the album.

What is the significance of you killing the old version of yourself at the end of the album? Well, the significance of it is, I like to say that a lot of people that have a revelation, and they tend to grow, I would say that they're enlightened by their experiences of life. And that causes them to become a different person in a positive way. And I would say that through my experiences and the traumas and things that I've been through actually created the reverse effect and made it so that I'm growing in more of a negative way, right? Not even by choice. It's like because of the traumas and things that I've been through,

I'm no longer susceptible to being a nice guy. I'm no longer you know susceptible to being a nice guy you know i'm no longer bubbly i'm no longer as positive as i used to be you know what i'm saying so it's like you know due to my traumas i've i've grown into you know a different version of myself that i feel like maybe a trauma response which he and which charlamagne said you feel me so i had to kill off you know in order for me to grow in my own way, I had to kill off that version of myself because that version of myself got used. You know, that version of myself people took advantage of, you feel me?

So it's like the new person that I am today is no longer susceptible to those things. You know what I mean? Did you have to write that figuratively so you didn't do that literally like did you have to write about killing yourself off so you didn't actually do it oh no i ain't never you feel me i ain't never really ever been suicidal you know what i mean i never been suicidal but i just knew when i had took the time between albums and you know i'm just going through real life as you heard in records like broski you know records like cut you off you know what nba as You Off, you know, with NBA.

As I'm going through real life, I'm really starting to learn who I am. You know, I knew that I had to get rid of the old me. Why didn't we get the experimental album? So we didn't get the experimental album because it wasn't something that I felt like I wanted to stand behind pause. Right. It was like that was a pause. pause yeah your pauses have been a little off that one nice pauses make you think like yeah what do you say but you know that was yeah excuse me I think the experimental album for me I felt like was a little bit too left-field even for me right it was like I saw I found myself like going back into like

creating records that i felt like didn't really represent to where i wanted to be and who i am now you know i dropped the record blackout went on with future you know i'm saying in that record you know i'm talking about that i used to talk about before i got on which is like if i didn't make it then i would be selling the you know kilos you know but these are things that i was rapping about before I even got on, you know what I'm saying? Like, if I didn't break into the music industry, then I was gonna move from selling eight balls to kilos, you know what I'm saying?

Like, I'm in a place now where it's like, why the fuck you even talking about that shit? You already where you need to be, you feel me? So it's like, why are you going back to that? It's like, you know, and it's like, I think I did it on some, like, culture shit, you feel me? And it's like, I'm not about to jump on a record with Future and Flex get on my lyrical and you know i mean it is that kind of whack to do so it's like let me just dumb my down and it's like and i decided to do that but i also knew that

before i released the record or when i was doing the video and i'm sitting there and i got all this bread and i'm yada yada yada you know i'm just like damn i feel like this don't feel like the type of shit i want to be on right now. But I'm like, I'm going to do it. You know what I'm saying? For the culture. And I did it. And when I put it out, it was the response that I got from it was exactly how I was feeling.

You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, people telling you, like, why are you on? Yeah, but at the same time. Right. But a lot of people don't know me, though. You feel me? Like, they look at the storytelling and they just assume, like, oh, he not about that. Or he didn't know where I come from.

You know what I'm saying? I don't know. Joyner before Joyner got on. You know what I mean? So a lot of don't know that. But these are records that I've done records like that before. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, I'm in a different place in my life now.

So it's like, you know, when I had dropped it and I got that response, you know what I'm saying? I'm just like, damn, like I I already know, like, almost the whole album was like that. And I got all these features from all these artists that, you know, I felt like was like, of like what's in now,

but it really wasn't really, you know what I'm saying? What you was... Exactly. You know what I mean? So it just didn't make sense. So it was like, I'm scrapping this shit.

Got it. All right, we got more with Joyner Lucas when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Larry, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Joyner Lucas. when we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Larry, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Joyner Lucas. Charlamagne? You talked about broski earlier and cut you off. And I always wonder, like, when you've had people do you dirty in those type of situations, has it made it challenging to form, like, deep connections with people? Being that everybody might have their own hidden agenda?

Yeah, 100%. It started making me realize why Marshall moved a certain way. You feel me? Because getting on the phone with him, you could probably

hop on the phone with Barack quicker than you could hop on the phone with Marshall. He's calling you from a line where his manager's assistant is calling you

from a 1-800 number and then it's just like elevator music and it's like please hold, Marshall's coming to the phone You can't have his number not that nobody has his number. He's not accessible. You can't talk to him It's like hopping on the phone with the president, right?

And it's like I always wondered like why this move like that I had a conversation with him on the shoot of lucky you and I was in his trailer and I'm like, yeah, man Is your country falling apart feeling 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 are 55 gallons of water, 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 tribe own 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. Bullet holes. We need help! 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.

These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one and others are just tuning in.

Whatever the case and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves.

Like anytime you want to talk or anytime you want to build and like, you can hit me, you know what I'm saying? Like we could talk and we could build on his music, you know what I'm saying? And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's just like, I could tell he was really like real standoffish

you know i'm saying and i'll ask royce like yo why is he like that he's like man i've been through a lot you know he's very closed off from people right and i'm just like damn and i never understood it right and it's just like when i started you know experiencing the alex was experiencing i got it you feel me and it's like i get it 100 He was the biggest star in the world at one point. So imagine. He still is. Yeah. He can't just be outside.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's a whole thing. He is a big deal. Like, to this day. You know what I mean? And it's like, he moves like that for a reason. You got to have boundaries. Yeah, 100%.

You got to have boundaries. I was going to ask with your videos, right? Yeah. Art. A lot of art. How long does it take to prepare those videos right because i'm watching your videos and even the one with jelly roll or roll timmy and the fact that it's high budget i mean one after you got a tank in one video but not only that you got the the actors in the video knowing the lyrics before the song came out so that takes time and it takes preparation it's it's almost like it's like a real movie so what is the preparation for a Joyner Lucas video so I'm creating the visuals

before I'm creating a song really right I already had the videos and the visuals in my head right before I was a pause I was like videos in your head. I'm like, no. It was a heavy breath on the inside of me. I'm like, all right. I was actually burping, but I didn't want to let it out. So I was just. All right, all right, all right. So I'm creating the visuals mentally. The script is already written.

Now I just got to write the song. I already see it. I see the house. I see the guy. I know what this is about. And I'm like like i just got to create the record i gotta find the beat now i found the beat and then i'm writing it i'm meticulously trying to find the character in my head of who's gonna play this role and once i lock in on that

character from the moment the song is done i'm now contacting a rapper and the reason why i'm choosing a rapper is because i know a rapper is gonna memorize it really quick i know that it's not gonna look weird when they're lip syncing it right so i'm choosing rappers specifically or if you have any type of you can be a singer an r&b singer but if you know how to memorize you know it makes sense but i'm not gonna choose somebody that doesn't do music you know what i mean so i send it out and i tell that person they have a certain amount of time to learn it you know nine times out of ten they're excited to do it so they're learning it quick bro team he was excited to do it yeah what's interesting about broski is i never seen to this day i never seen one episode of power really wow to this day damn never seen it

and i stayed away from watching it on purpose because i don't want to be influenced yeah by a lot of these shows and then you start bleeding through my videos and they're not. They look like that. You feel me? Because I'm a creative, I try not to watch certain things because I don't want to be influenced by it. I actually seen Rotini in this movie

called For the Love of Money. It was an independent film with him and Kerry Hilton. It was the first time I ever seen Rotini act. I was like, I like his character. I love his character. You know what I'm saying? And at the same time, I was writing Broski and it was just like, I started to have his face in my mind pause.

Pause that. He's a night pauses. He's a very light city night pause. I can't say that. Y'all just mad because y'all can't get him. That's what I'm saying. Y'all can't get me. You trying to pause all day. That's what I'm saying. F*** can't get me. You trying to pull it on a date. I knew that I wanted him to play the role.

And I sent him the record. You know, he memorized it. We shot a video in like two weeks. I edit, direct everything myself. I was holding on to that for a little bit. Why? Because it was a part of the album and I was still creating the album in real time. And I wanted to drop it, you know, while I was dropping some of of the other records that one hit so hard because i think everybody has been through

that like a friend that yeah you've helped and yeah you felt like the friend looked at you differently so it's it hit because it was like damn you might be the only person in history who can put out a song in a video that overshadows a whole project yes i appreciate that like it's just the strangest thing like broski will come out just like that's what people want from joining you know best best for me will come out and they're like oh that's what i want but you know you got a whole album coming up you know what i'm saying you do you ever think yourself i might have to do a whole album of visuals yeah yeah i i um i was gonna make turn broski into like a series you know with rotimi and like really create a story

out of it and like go crazy with it so i was entertaining that for a little bit but yeah i've thought about it about doing the whole album series thing or whatever i just haven't done it yet i think that these these music videos are very inspired by movies not from specific movies i mean just the feel of it pause right it's like it's very cinematic and it's like I'm creating my own movie within a visual within the music. I think that's subconsciously me. I really I really wanted to get into movies, being doing movies, you know what I mean? Acting in movies. So that was really subconsciously me trying to bring that into fruition. So these actors can see this or, you know, these directors can see these movies or these videos and be like, yo, I got to get him in a movie.

I got to make a movie with him and yada, yada, yada yada right and that was what i was trying to do and it worked right because then i was able to get mark walberg in the joint and i was able to get these other actors and rotimi and yada yada yada and then i ended up actually well right then i ended up actually getting in movies with them right but they called me to be mark walberg put me in a movie my first movie ever shout out to my brother mark walbert and Mark Wahlberg, put me in a movie, my first movie ever. Shout out to my brother Mark Wahlberg. And then Will Smith had me in Bad Boys 4, you know what I'm saying,

which is fire, that's about to drop. That's an exclusive? I didn't know you was in Bad Boys 4. Yeah, I posted it. You posted, revealed that? I think I revealed it, yeah, I posted it, or whatever, you just wasn't paying attention. You got a big role?

Nobody in that movie has a big role except Martin and Will. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. You know what I mean? Because of the direction they went in with the movie, everybody that comes in that movie has a big role except martin and will gotcha gotcha gotcha you know what i mean because of the because of the direction they went in with the movie everybody that comes in the movie is it's a section and then they're out and then it's just like on to the next person that comes in the movie i don't know if i want to see you act as much as i want to see you create yeah all right you know what i mean i think that yeah so i'm sure you got something in the works

like your own personal i think that um when you say create talking about music or what movie oh oh tv show tv show like how um like 50 does power or childish gambino did atlanta or what's the dave does dicky little uh little dicky does dave vince staples yeah i've just seen vince staples fire too i like i like that um but they got going on but even that right even the opportunity like that to do things like that, I feel like I'm setting myself up for that when I kind of create my own visuals. You know what I mean? What was your thoughts on Bobby Smyrna? Speaking of people giving you props, he said that you were the master P of this generation.

And he questioned why more people don't talk about you making a quarter million dollars a month independently. I thought that was fire. First of all, calling me a master P of this generation is fire because master p was that's p that dude is like the he's like the first one of the first cats to really do this for real like independently and like really do it so like him calling me that was just like wow you know i didn't know he never he never displayed that to me before so him going on you know saying that was like wow i didn't know he felt that way you know i think that that's dope that he aspires to you independent, make his money. The music industry has changed a lot, so I thought it was dope.

Got it. All right, Joyner Lucas is here, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yup, we are The Breakfast Club. Envy, Jessel Larry, Charlamagne Tha God. We're still kicking it with Joyner Lucas. I got a question.

DMX is on the album. Yeah. Now, how did you get that verse? X. X. Break that down. You and X in the studio? How was that session?

I didn't go for it, too. Simba's on there, too. Yeah. Simba's on there, too. Love Simba. I spent some time with X. We played pool a few times. I got to pick his brain.

He gave me a lot of advice. I had real conversations with X just about his life, his upbringing. I was able to ask him a lot of personal questions just so I could understand him because I kind of had a feeling at some point that he was gonna go before his time you know yeah a million percent so I made it a point to ask him as many questions as I as I wanted to ask him and um yeah he's a homie bro he'll hit me up at like that dude hit me up at like text me at like one in the morning like yo let's go out you know what I'm saying I'm like all right let's roll and we go hit the you know the billiard or something we just go

play pool but um he was a very interesting guy and he was a real one i don't think he was from here which means for me from where i think he's from another dimension yeah spiritually because you've never met somebody like dmx never nothing about him was like a human he's different like nothing he's different and and one thing i loved about x was that he was had a very tough exterior right he was very you never questioned his sexuality he was a very tough exterior but on the inside like he would pray for you you know what i'm saying like he was very he was a very emotional guy too he's been through a lot you know what i mean i when i had a conversation with him you know one day you know he, he was pretty much, I was explaining to him how me being signed to a label at this time, how I was just like felt defeated because I wasn't getting what I needed to out of the situation.

And we had a real conversation in which he gave me some advice. And right after we had that conversation, I wrote, I'm not racist. Wow. Changed my entire life Right after we had That one conversation And he said Start from the drawing board Come up with something Groundbreaking Force the hand Or the label

Make them believe Wow Ben had a relationship Yeah A little something Yeah When did he do the verse Years ago

Wow So you had more than One X verse I got another Again I got another X verse too Yeah You know

You talked about Collabing with Future And you got Youngboy On this album But then you said You feel like Sometimes you gotta Dumb your lyrics down When you get collabing with Future, and you got Youngboy on this album, but then you said you feel like sometimes you got to dumb your lyrics down when you get on records with Future, so when you collab with somebody like a Youngboy,

why have you got to turn your volume down? It's not that. I think that I'm such a fan of a lot of different types of music. I love, there's Future records that I love. He got some bops. Youngboy, he got some bops. Maybe not all of them.

We don't love all of Future's music. We don't love all of Jordan's music. We don't love all of anybody's music, right? But the point is, I'm a fan of a lot of people wouldn't be surprised to know that I listen to a lot of different type. And it's like, if I jump on a record with certain people, you know, I'm not trying to go off like that.

I wanna go into their world sometimes, and I wanna like have fun with it and play with it a little bit. Pause. Pause. That was a pause. I'm on it, boy. I'm on it. That one was a pause.

I'm on it. Pause. Now, I was going to ask you, with your family, you know, you have two kids, and, of course, you have your sister here today. How are you with your family and breaking down the business and teaching them? I don't. I keep that separate.

That's crazy as hell, man. I keep the music. I don't. I don't. Nah, it's just that when I'm with family, it's family time. It's family time. I don't even like mixing business with family and, you know, explaining business. It's like I just separate time.

You know what I'm saying? What if I'm a cousin who wants to work in the frozen yogurt spot can i ask you about that yeah i got my niece that she worked there and is that in your city or is that no that's like on the outskirts okay yeah yeah yeah something you want to franchise um i feel like i could yeah yeah i feel like i could yeah what made you want to do frozen yogurt because i I was, in the morning, I stopped eating breakfast. I started drinking, like, protein shakes. So I was always spending my time at, like, this one spot. And I was like, you know what?

I'm about to just do my own shit. My first brick and mortar, you know what I'm saying? Like, my first business outside of the telly, you know, the music outside of that. I want to ask you about a line that Jelly Roll said, and best for me. He said, how can you love someone and learn to let them go? Do you think that's achievable from your experience? That's my middle name. That's one of the things about myself that I recognize as a part of myself that I hate, but I love at the same time that I'm able to do.

Shut that switch off. You know, are you ever unable to do that? What is like? I became desensitized to pain, to hurt, you know, so it's like in order to not really when it's like no i just thought that i became desensitized to pain to hurt you know so it's like in order to not really feel it pause i learned how to create my my my own light switch to where i could just shut the light off and nobody's safe from that light switch you know what i mean and it's just a it's a pretty f***ed up thing to have because it's real difficult sometimes to you know build real

relationships when you can do that you know what I'm saying you could just shut off a switch and then just be like and nobody's safe from that I've had to do it to family friends girls you know and it's like if you if you experienced it at the level that I've experienced it with some of the closest people to you nobody's safe nobody's safe i think some people think unconditional love requires the acceptance of harmful behavior and i agree with you i don't agree with that though a lot of people think that just because you love them means that you got to keep them around or you got to deal with that you don't want to deal with i feel like my mental health and my peace of mind is the most important thing to me. Word.

Above anything else, right? Like, my sanity is the most important thing to me. If we clashing, there's an incompatibility there, right? And it's like, that has to be addressed, or else we're just going to be incompatible, right? And it's like, a lot of people think incompatibility just isn't within relationships, but it's really within friendships,

it's within workspaces, it's within a lot of different things, right? It's like, how compatible are you to me? You know, and it's really within friendships it's within workspaces it's within a lot of different things right it's like how compatible are you to me you know and it's like once I realize and once I see that we're not compatible that's when I gotta go ahead and flip that light switch off and then you take that like I never cared about you at all but that's not the truth the truth is I still love you we're just not compatible you gotta go your way and I gotta go my way it's a tough thing for me to even do because it's like, damn, like I got to, I had to do that again. It's hard to have real genuine relationships when that happens.

You know what I'm saying? But in the end, you're still protecting you though. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. I got a couple more questions. Uh, there was a, there was a GoFundMe of a woman who was killed and you donated 10 grand, but then she ended up being in your music video. Did you know that?

That she was in your video before you donated? Yeah. I knew her. Okay. I knew her personally oh okay okay yeah i know her personally and um it was just a sad situation you know very sad very sad situation for the city you know it's another reminder that you know you'd be here one day and tomorrow you'd be gone you know and it's like what happened to that young woman and her daughter was was horrific you know and it's like what happened to that young woman and her daughter was horrific, you know. And it's like I felt guilty because she was in the video. And she in the video, she was rapping in the car dead. She died in the car. You know, so it's like it was just haunting. You go back and watch it.

I'm still thinking about taking the video down just because I just just, you know what I mean? Like it's just it's just so. Yeah. That's one of them spooky coincidence. Freak accident. You know what I mean? Like you can't hold just so you know that's just one of them spooky coincidences freak accidents you know what I mean like you can't hold yourself accountable

nah I'm not holding myself accountable it's really just like it's just I don't know it's a freaky thing though but still to see it in plenty of heels and it actually

yeah yeah it's one of those scenes disgusting man and it's like you know her daughter had passed away too both of them

in the car wow somebody had ran up and sprayed the car up with her daughter and her daughter was both of them in the car wow somebody had ran up and sprayed the car up with her daughter and her daughter was supposed to be on the first verse on in that song but i chose another little girl instead you know what i'm saying but i did know her daughter as well her the mom and the daughter was really good peoples you know what i'm saying so that really was um tragic and she was in the military she served the country you know what i'm saying so

rest in peace to her so rest in peace to her absolutely rest in peace to shorty uh last question are you working on a joint album with will smith because that was that was a rumor too i want to say i want to call it a joint album you're helping him do his album though yeah yeah i was i'm you know being working on some music together you know i got will in his bag so i can't wait for the music to actually drop yeah that'd be interesting.

Joining Lucas. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get right to Jess with the Worldwide Mess. News is real, brother. News is real. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying.

Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide Mess. On the Breakfast Club She's a culture shift She was able to get y'all to see something And understand something

That nobody could get you to see It's time to set it all Let's go Jess Yes, now that is an intro Alright, so in my opinion Which I hope can be swayed Because I don't see it how the US sees it But they are suing Apple

In landmark iPhone monopoly lawsuit. So they're accusing Apple of having monopoly over the smartphone market. We have audio for it. We allege that Apple has employed a strategy that relies on exclusionary anti-competitive conduct that hurts both consumers and developers. For consumers, that has meant fewer choices, higher prices and fees, lower quality smartphones, apps and accessories, and less innovation from Apple and its competitors. So, you know, basically they also claimed like the messages between iPhone and Android have different features than iPhone to iPhone messages.

The changing the quality of videos and pictures so it's like if uh for instance our oldest person here eddie yeah he has an android disgusting and a hummel yeah oh my god one of the military ones too from back in the day oh my goodness yeah but we're trying to get him to get an iphone right but he loves android and emoticons you know what i'm saying and then if we send him pictures it'd be blurry be pixelated looks like legos and stuff and he'd be like what are y'all sending me but you know but uh apple has disrupted the development of apps that could make it easier to switch between competing companies too and they also said apple has prevented the development of apps that would allow high quality videos and other

uh no high quality video games and other apps without buying extra accessories apple has also prevented third party apps from offering tap to pay use which everybody got used to um only if you have an iphone though sorry and then apple has made it hard to use non-apple smart watches with apple phones i i don't see the problem. I don't see the problem either. I make devices for my people, my company, my phones, my laptops, my smartphones, my smartwatches. I make it. This is what I'm doing it for.

Now you're saying I have to make it for other designers. That makes that's the whole point of me having the best product in the market. Right. Stock market shares of Apple dropped by four percent after the announcement analyst says a uh a resolution is not expected soon well well to me this is all about power and control like we live in a free market capitalist society but i don't think america expected companies like that to get this big and they cannot have apple making all the money you gotta that's the problem apple can't make all the money they want other people to make money that's all it really was apple didn't make people buy their phones the device was that good that people bought their

phones and then since people started buying my phones there were other developers out there there was blackberry there was all these other companies but they phoned them fruits ain't work but them apples was popping at the fruit stand berries and all that ain't come out ain't hit nope okay and now they got apple tvs uh laptops desktops they got glasses the new oculus type glasses they're just their way of uh you know making making them cut the pie up they have to cut up the pie that's basically what they're trying to say y'all have to cut up this pie and share it with others that is b. That is like hating on this company. Anyway, whatever.

Chick-fil-A facing 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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. 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 tribe owned 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

Sorry, Ashton, my son. He loves Chick-fil-A, but he won't be eating it no more. The company recently announced that it would no longer use antibiotic-free chicken and instead use chicken-raised N-A-I-H-M. I don't know what that means. I'm about to tell you. No antibiotics important to human medicine. No antibiotics important to human medicine. The company has switched to antibiotic-free chicken in 2019 after vowing to do so five years earlier. Chick-fil-A says it's making the switch to maintain supply of high-quality chicken you expect from us. But many customers are criticizing the chain for going back on its promise because Chick-fil-A was like the only fast food place that had real chicken but niggas is out of chicken so they like we're gonna start pumping them up with steroids making them in the lab whatever that's what it's gonna be that's what it's gonna go anyway y'all gonna eat it anyway who's y'all because we don't even really know

what's in there now with everything you just described and what's in there now nobody knew that but i thought that was the whole point of chick-fil-A, why people love Chick-fil-A. Because I thought it was non-GMO, non all that other stuff. No, not Chick-fil-A, Envy. Don't let him change your mind. That's what it is. That's what it is. I just like it because it's good.

Yeah, but it was good and it was healthier than your other choices. That's what everybody thought. That's the reason why people wait on lines all the time for Chick-fil-A. I just thought because it was good. Right. But now when you eat it. Oh, Chick-fil-A? Yeah. Okay, so don. Right. Did you eat it? Chick-fil-A? Yeah.

Okay, so don't say y'all say we. We gonna keep eating it because I don't want to hear none of that. I'm gonna die right now. Oh, okay. Yeah.

But now, thanks to Just for the Worldwide Mess, a lot of people probably won't. They'll probably raise their own chickens and cook them

and stuff like that. Those were the days. Y'all ain't never had to grow up like that. Y'all ain't never had to chase no chicken around the yard with your grandma. And then you catch that chicken.

And then your grandma whipped that chicken around like Petey Pablo swinging his T-shirt and popped that chicken's neck. And then you throw it down and then cut the chicken's head off. Then you pluck the feathers off. Y'all ain't grow up like that. People gonna wish. I'm telling you. I did.

I did. And I thank God for it. Okay. Drop my goosebumps for South Carolina. That's why I got a lot of land. I'm going to have me a farm. I'm serious. Because all this stuff, man.

Are you going to chase a chicken like his grandma? No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to do that. I know we got some little cousins down in South Carolina who want to come up and I paid them to do that. I got you. So I had them do that because they seem like pros at that. All right. But you know, that's crazy you say that because growing up, and I'm actually doing that too.

I'm putting a chicken coop in my yard yard but that's how we all grew up there was always some type of uh livestock in someone's yard whether it was a pig whether it was chickens but i mean like i said south carolina that's how it was yeah you're gonna put some chickens in jersey you damn right anyway y'all listen i gotta get to my last story. Usher said the devil is a lie after people made claims around his NAACP acceptance speech. I'm very honored to be able to receive this amazing award from the depth of my soul. So he got mad at his social media influencer, right? Because he made the video. He cut that clip and was like doing commentary like,

oh, Usher, he almost forgot that he couldn't thank the devil publicly. But he was about to, but he forgot where he was at or whatever. So yeah, people online, also other people online were saying that as well.

Usher said, get the hell out of here. God is my Lord and Savior. The devil is a lie. You got me effed up. Not today, sir. I have time for this type S, but got me effed up. Not today, sir. I have time for this type S.

But today, you're going to hear. He said, oh, I never have time for this type of BS. But today, you're going to hear this. So I was a bit nervous and jumbled my words when speaking from my heart. I hate teleprompters. And they started rushing me because I was getting a bit long-winded. Everybody gets nervous. Whatever, whatever. He said, you're terrible for even trying to share me.

I mean, you're terrible. See, you just did it. You just did it. See, yeah, I do it all the time. I do it every day, but Usher not pregnant. Look, you're terrible for even trying to share this. I just felt like, yeah, he definitely meant to say depths of my soul. Like, that's just what it was.

Let me hear it again. Usher clip. meant to say depths of my soul like that's just let me hear it again i'm very honored to be able to receive this amazing award from the devil from from the depths of my soul yes yeah like clearly from the depth yeah he just messed up on the teleprompter from the depths of my soul that's it it's like you know how people uh and overanalyze and dissect stuff i hate you niggas on the internet. Mm-hmm. Oh, that actually wasn't even a nigga. That was a cracker.

No, you still a nigga. A cracker ass nigga. What? You can be a cracker ass nigga too. I'm a cracker ass nigga. I'm a cracker ass nigga. You can't be a cracker.

Yeah, I know that's right. What you mean? It ain't about race. It's about a mindset and behavior. Surely was. Okay. He sure was.

who listens to us on WJLB in Detroit. Drop one of Clues Bombs for the D! Detroit, we have a small problem this morning. See, there's a history teacher named Dominique Brown. And if you ask me, there's an injustice that happened to Dominique because Dominique Brown was let go from her job at Taylor Preparatory High School. Yes, let go, fired, terminated, discharged,

all because they didn't like her side hustle, all because teachers are so underpaid in this country that a lot of them have to try to find other sources of incomes or other careers okay trust me my mother was an english teacher in south canada and i've said on this radio public school teachers are disgustingly underpaid all right the humans that we entrust with our most prized possessions our children are barely getting by there was a survey done by nea.org that found teachers work more hours per week than other working adults. Yes, an estimated 53 hours per week, seven more hours than the average working adult.

And teachers, no surprise here, report much less satisfaction with their base pay than other working adults. And 25 percent of their work is uncompensated. Did you hear what I just said? 25 percent of all the work teachers do is uncompensated did you hear what i just said 25 percent of all the work teachers do is uncompensated and 66 percent say their base salary is inadequate compared with 39 percent of working adults okay it's terrible horrible for what teachers mean to us in our communities it's actually kind of criminal so when you have teachers like dominique who clearly love what they do because they're really you know there really is no other reason to be a teacher other than the love because you know you're going to be overworked and underpaid so if dominique wants to Dominique Brown, whose rap name is Drippin Honey, has been an educator for seven years

and started teaching history at Taylor Preparatory High School in August. But all that came to an abrupt end months later, after she says a parent came across one of her rap videos. The first meeting that I had was like the principal and the dean had told me that the parent wished to stay anonymous and she felt as if she didn't like my rap career and that I was a bad influence on the kids because I rap. She says she was fired in February because she's a rapper. Before the firing, around Thanksgiving, she says there were meetings and an ultimatum. My mind and my heart was telling me two things. I couldn't see myself giving up my other passion just because somebody didn't like it.

They say erase all your content. That was the ultimatum, erase all your content. I'm just like, respectfully, I can't do that. Brown acknowledges the profanity in her lyrics, but she says that has nothing to do with Taylor Prep and the positive impact she's had on her students and the community. In February, on her last day, she created a music video with her students that has since gone viral. Christina Lynn says her son, an 11th grader, started a petition in support of Ms. Brown, gathering over 200 student signatures. Dropping the clues bombs for Dominique Brown, aka Drippin Honey.

Drippin Honey! Fired because of an anonymous hating-ass parent complaining, saying she's a bad influence on her students because she's a rapper. How you feel like that in Detroit? Home of some of the most influential people ever to pick up a microphone. There's nothing but a bunch of rappity, rap-ass Negroes and Caucasians in Detroit. Okay, people in Detroit start rapping soon as they come out the womb, soon as they get smacked on the ass by the doctor. They don't cry.

They start spitting bars. I don't even know where to start. Trick Trick, Ice Web Bezos, Soda Baby, Babyface Ray, 42 Doug, Cash Doll, Royce the Five Nine, Dej Loaf, D12, Danny Brown, Ovi Trice, Big Sean. where vezzo cider baby baby face ray 42 doug cash doll royce to five nine days loaf d12 danny brown oh he tries big sean oh they got this one guy who's considered by many one of the greatest of all time he's not on my personal list but objectively speaking you can't deny his place in hip-hop culture martial matters huh hey does that name ring a bell what i'm telling you is rapping in detroit is like breathing okay and being from detroit there's a lot of other side

hustles she could be doing that could be considered a bad influence. But rapping ain't one of them, yo. Now, she got a record. Okay, you heard them talk about it in the news report. I saw, I watched it on YouTube. It's called Drippin' 101. And in the video, she has some of her students,

you know, actually in the video. In the description of the video, it says Drippin' 101 featuring the best students in the world all i hear is a positive anthem okay a positive anthem okay encouraging young ladies not to be hoes okay i don't know how old dominique brown is but she doesn't look old and this is the first time probably ever in the history of life that the age demographics between adults and kids is really non-existent and what i mean by that is the stuff we was raised on in the 1900s and early 2000s really ain't no different from you know what these kids is on now it's the same type of content okay argue amongst yourselves we try to act like our generation was so much better they might have been talent wise but the content is the same okay

how is the generation raised off nwa uncle luke little kim three six mafia and eminem gonna judge anybody okay as long as that woman is doing what she's supposed to be doing In that classroom And her kids are learning and passing If she wants to rap in her spare time Let her And I bet you all of those kids trust her More than they trust any other teacher in the school

Because she speaks their language How about this Instead of stopping teachers' side hustles How about improving pay Because a lot of teachers are getting out of the teaching business And a lot of teachers aren't looking to this instead of stopping teachers side hustles how about improving pay because a lot of teachers are getting out of the teaching business and a lot of teachers aren't looking to a lot of people aren't even looking to get into the teaching business so if you want to recruit and retain educators get their money up but

not only that improve the number of hours worked in their overall working conditions that's how you gonna keep teachers wanting to be teachers and in the meantime you shouldn't try to stop them from rapping to potentially find a career to make ends meet. You should be ashamed that they have to attempt to rap to find a career to make ends meet because you're not paying them enough as a teacher. Please give Preparatory High School in Detroit the biggest e-hall. What y'all's giggling at yeah nothing what y'all looking at her it's going through our videos yeah well she got a bunch of them i only saw one yeah yeah what else you got i saw a dripping 101 dripping 101 it was there was it go oh then there was was the um talking about getting

All right. When we come back, Nina Turner and Derek Dowdle will be joining us. Did I say his last name right? I don't think so. It's Dowdle. Dowdle. Yes. All right.

So we're going to kick it with Nina Turner and Derek Dowdle. Dowdle. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Miss Senator Nina Turner is here. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

Miss Senator Nina Turner is here. Good morning. Good morning. And, you know, last time Senator Turner was here, she... I did the swirl, the twirl. That's right. We were talking about how good you look. Yeah. And, you know, you said you wanted to bring your trainer, Derek Dowdell. Am I pronouncing that right? Yes, sir.

Derek Dowdell. Good morning, Derek. How are you? How you doing? Bless Black and Highly Favored, brother. Bless Black and Highly Favored. How did y'all two link up? Oh, that was a while ago. About 10 years ago. I was training up at Title Boxing.

Teaching classes for boxing. She came in not knowing what she was doing. Awful. Awful? Damn. Does she see what he's doing this morning? But it was cool. You know, we just formed a bond, started talking and she needed some training.

So I looked out for her. You got to talk to the mic there. Oh, excuse me. Yeah, my fault. So I looked out for her for the training

and we've been tight ever since. Ever since. Yeah, we consider ourselves sisters and brothers. He's been in my life through thick and thin and that's really a big deal

because working out is a mental, it's for your mentals and I know sharp for you the mental health thing or just kind of self-awareness It's not even mental health is about self-awareness of what you need and physical activity is very much a part of that And one of the things I love about him you can come into the gym and if you he knows when you're not right And so I'm kind of I'm an introvert a lot of people don't know that But I go in and if my mind ain't right he'll ask what's wrong with you and I'll say no he's I'm asking you a question

what's wrong with you and he'll he'll probe until you kind of tell him you know what's wrong and not every kind of trainer does that some of them are just really concerned about physical and it's a mental exercise too and he's seen me up and down. He's seen me really small from stress. And, again, a trainer might say, oh, I got it. You know, she lost a whole lot of weight. That's good. He was like, oh, no, this ain't good. This ain't good because it's the way you lost the weight and you look sick.

Unhealthy. And, you know, lost everything. And I could need to go eat some French fries, some sweet potato pies, some. That's how you got to be my trainer. Right. Right. I don't want no hummus and no salad. Right. Right. Right. Right. That was only in that situation but the moral of the story is it's not just about how

much weight you lose it's how you lose it and it's about your mentals too and he combines the two very well how did you get into fitness oh wait so i was i was i was a truck driver okay shout out to y'all I'm here now her man a truck driver I was a truck driver so I was having chest issues so I went to the doctor I was 275

I was a big boy so the doctor was like yeah man you on the verge of having a heart attack at 28 so I said oh, we can't. Yeah, right. It was serious. Your widowmaker was called? Huh?

Was the widowmaker? Had it blocked out? No, no. No, it was just doing too much. You know, eating crazy, drinking, just doing too much. Out of shape. So, you know, I started working out, got in good shape. And then I've always been passionate about working out.

Yeah. And then it just went from there and took off. Yeah, it took off. It just clicked. And while we're on that, Char and Jess, I want to shout out a young lady. Her name is Marielle McCain. And she, I know you do the women's history. So I put black history and women's history together.

She just made Team USA in boxing. She's from Cleveland she's the first woman and the first black woman to make team USA in the boxing category from Ohio her name is Morel McCain and she's raising money to try to get her family to be able to go to Paris with her and so I just want to shout her out her Instagram is a millionaire mole so for anybody out there that wants to help a young African-American woman who is on the rise and doing the thing and just representing. And I know you like your little boxing, too, Charlotte. You got in the ring with somebody from Cleveland.

I'm blanking on his name right now. I got in with Sean Porter. Yeah, Sean. Shout out to Sean. You got in the ring? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I watched the video.

One time we sparked, me and Sean. Yeah. he was talking all kind you know Char but no but he did that he did that a little bit yeah he was a world champion but since we own fitness and I'm just really so proud of her and one of the things you guys were talking to the actress uh Marsha and talking about being there for each other and lifting each other up and that's why I want to shout that young lady out yeah and one of the reasons why you know I brought my trainer one of the things just in my relationship with Charlamagne over the years and we met when he moderated when Senator Sanders was running in 2016 he moderated a panel at the Apollo and thanks to Figaro that's how I call Teslin that's my girl,

she advises me on politics. You know, really pressed the campaign to do a lot of black outreach. And that's how Char and I became friends. And we just clicked. And we've been together ever since. But he really lifts up, and he especially lifts up black women. And that's what I love. It's something particularly spectacular

or delicious when it's our men lifting us up. shout out to michael renner to killer mike the same thing and when people like defend you in public because for me i'm a lightning rod so dr rasad richie of tyt which i hope you guys will have on is another one of those when our men defend us in public when people come it ain't nothing like it. You know, God's love is strong, but black love is right under that. And so I just, you know. Wow. I just gotta shout it out.

I know that's right. 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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. 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. Why can't I trade my own 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.

and Derek Dowdell when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning good morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Solaris Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nina Turner and Derek Dowdell. Charlamagne?

You know, when it comes to the training you're doing, Nina, is it preparing you for this fight that we're going to be in for the next few months? Or are you even fighting? I'm fighting, Char. You know I'm always fighting. One of my dear counselors said, you live in opposition. I said, you know, let me decorate in that mother. I mean, let me decorate in there. You might have to put that in here.

We live in opposition. We live in opposition. They said, let me move the furniture around. Let me put some photos up on the wall. No, I am, because I'm very concerned about what's happening right now. You know, what's happening all over the world, you whether it's Haiti the Congo Sudan and I talked about a whole lot and I know I need to be especially the type of work that I do and I'm a lightning rod all the time people try to come for me yeah I got to be mentally and physically oh yeah I'm training y'all I'm training for this battle oh yeah I care very much it's the it's the

Biden Trump rematch the rematch nobody wants that's right and you've been saying preaching that gospel from the beginning. Man. What should they be doing to energize people to come out of November? Well, Trump's people energize already. Biden's people are not so much because this president has to really deliver material changes. And so you can't come out for bipartisanship when it comes to increasing the military budget. But you can't be bipartisan for universal health care.

You know, you got Republican-led states in this country who won't use tax dollars to pay for free lunch and free breakfast. Students are going to bed hungry or coming to school. All of that kind of stuff is wrong. So to energize, do the thing that will energize people to come. Cancel all student debt, not just some. I mean, I think it's an absolute lie. If he can cancel some, he can cancel all.

And in particular, what's happening in the Gaza, you know, over like 60 percent of Democrats, like his voters believe that there is genocide going on in the Gaza. But yet this president won't move on that. He won't say that enough is enough. Almost 40,000 people have died. We'll talk about the people who are still alive and living in famine. Hospitals being blown up. They can't get food. Younger people

especially are saying, not on our watch. Are we going to continue to allow this? So I think if this president pivots stronger, more strongly, not just words and deeds, to say that this genocide stuff got to end, people will be more energized, cancel all student debt, make it universal. Those are the

kinds of things. Increase the minimum wage. You don't think it's too late to pivot on Gaza? And the reason I say that is because 30,000 people are dead. Yeah, no, I'm not saying. I have met some people. I was in Dearborn, Michigan. I was with Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. We was on a program together. Well, a panel. Not a panel panel but a rally kind of thing together and i've talked to some people and not just arab

americans not just palestinians but i've talked to people from all walks of life who are united in what justice looks like who say that they're not voting for biden under any circumstance so because of the people who are already dead and because of the suffering that is going on but there may be a certain segment of people so we're never going to forget that those people are dead but there may be a certain segment of people who if he strongly says no more money then they may say we'll go ahead and give you another chance because trump is a neo-fascist he is dangerous and i often say neo-fascism kills you quick and neoliberalism kills you slow.

Like we might have 24 hours of oxygen left. We can collaborate and try to figure out how to live. But ultimately, if neoliberals don't switch course, we still are going to die. And that is the problem with America right now. If we could afford to send billions of dollars to the Ukraine, billions of dollars over to Israel, be in wars and disrupting other people's lives all around the world why can't we have universal health care i agree why can't we have free college or debt-free college

especially for public schools why can't we pass the pro act why can't we pass the john lewis voting rights act why what happened to the george floyd Act? What happened to all of those things? So they are so fixated on war and they are denying what we need domestically. If he doesn't do those things, I predict this and I'm not the only one. If President Biden does not switch course, he is going to lose. You know, Senator Turner, like, you know, I've said numerous times, I don't know what to tell people. When people tell me they don't care about either candidate, when people tell me they're not even energized by the political process, I get it. For all of the things that we're talking about right now. But what would you say to people that don't plan on voting this year because they don't like either candidate?

Look, you might not do politics, but politics going to do you. You're going to get done. You're going to get done. The system going to do you. So you still got to go out to vote i would say go vote mad as hell if you want to skip that part of the ballot because there are other people on the ballot like all the energy goes to the presidential but for example in ohio we had a health and human services levy on the ballot so i went in the primary to vote not so much for what's happening in the presidential race but there were judges on the ballot uh people running for other offices on the ballot, and then the Health and Human Services levy.

That is the case for every community in this country. So they need to go vote and vote mad as hell. I can't tell. This president needs to change course and not just in words, but in deeds. And when they up there hedging about 40 000 people dead see now you're dead wrong i mean even i mean that that's at a certain point you gotta say this this the math ain't math in here to quote andrew yang people are have died and you can't cover it up what you can say to any allies that not on our watch that we got laws in this country the lahey

law the foreign the foreign assistance act all of that that says that when a president has made aware that another nation is denying humanitarian aid to others yeah that we must stop supplying them so you can't drop bombs and bread at the same time those two things don't go together so char i would say to those people they got to go vote anyway now i ain't gonna tell them how to vote they got to vote those people, they got to go vote anyway. Now, I ain't going to tell them how to vote. They got to vote their conscience. But they need to go and vote because there are other issues that impact their community on that ballot other than who's running for president. Nina, I'm sure that you'll be up here quite a few more times before November.

Oh, I love you so much. It's so good to be here. Can I shout out a book I'm going to essay in? Of course, please. It's called Wake Up America, black women on the future of democracy dr keisha baines edited that book and 22 spectacular black women have written essays in that book i am one of those spectacular black women okay and so i want people to get that book wake up it is a blueprint for action what's it called wake up america black women on the future of democracy because you know we feel the pain

first and deepest because we cross all kinds of intersections and baby when black women on the future of democracy. Because, you know, we feel the pain first and deepest because we cross all kinds of intersections. And baby, when black women tell you it's wrong, it's wrong. That's right. For the most part. But I love my black men, though. We ain't gonna play them games. I hate when the Democratic Party try to separate black women from black men. I hate how they're trying to set it up to where

if Trump wins, it's black men's fault. Oh, hell no. Let me give you Oh, you know what? I'm glad. One more thing. Seriously, if Trump wins it's black men fault oh hell no let me give you oh you know what i'm glad one more thing seriously if trump wins god forbid it is going to be because this president and the democratic party did not deliver material changes for the people of this nation it is going to be because this president and the democratic party led over, our complicit in genocide in Gaza. That is going to be the reason why this man loses. So he needs to choose.

Is he going to choose his coalition? Or is he going to choose to allow the person who is clearly a neo-fascist to win? It will be his fault. We ain't blaming no voters. And black people definitely ain't taking the blame. They don't call out white women. Hell, white women vote for Trump in very high margins. And don't forget, when Obama, when President Obama was running,

they were so mad that President Obama won the primary. I'm just speaking truth. So just say amen or say ouch. When President Obama beat then-Senator Clinton, some of them white women were so mad, they voted for McCain. So don't come. Don't bring it here. Don't bring it to the feet of black people. We always saving this country.

Now it's time for this country to join us and save itself. Amen and amen. Let church say amen or ouch. Senator Nina Turner, her trainer, Derek Dowdell. If you see a little bit more fire in Nina, it's because of Derek. And it's not like that fire needed any more flame to it.

It's time to set it off. Wendy Williams' son faces eviction over unpaid rent in Miami luxury apartment. His rent is $3,700.

Dang, you have no job? Clearly not. Jesus Christ. I know, that's right. All right, Kim Kardashian splits from Odell Beckham Jr. following year-long romance. Duh. Metro Boomer responds to speculation that Drake and Future are beefing over a woman. A woman named Diana.

Duh. Metro Boomer said, y'all niggas stop making stuff up for enjoyment. For engagement and enjoy the music. I mean, they better not be beefing over a female. I mean, people, they beefing over something. So until they let people know what they beefing over, people going to speculate. It can't be one. All it take is one.

I can see Drake beefing over a female, but not future. Why Drake? Because he light-skinned? I'm sorry, Andy. I'm just saying, Drake just so passionate about just that kind of stuff I don't know it seems like it's a pillow talking problem

he would beef over somebody unfollowing him instead of beefing with Kendrick for saying something by the way most of the time

it is a woman most of the time yeah most of the time it is a woman I don't know but she look like everybody else

I don't know if that's the individual but she's like some pillow talking happened somewhere somehow some, some way. Well, yeah, anything. Yeah, it could be a range of things.

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty ordered to pay $500,000 for assaulting a security guard in 2019. They said that the lawyer didn't actually, I guess, the case he was supposed to go to court or supposed to respond. It didn't respond. And that's the reason she lost because there was no response. So you just sued a lawyer for when that stuff like that yes what if they didn't know what if what if you didn't well your lawyer would know i mean she should know she's nicking me now so i'm sure her lawyer should have known and if he didn't respond she'll go sue the lawyer that's her lawyer as long as he's being paid which i'm sure he is well she on tour now so she can throw it out. Yeah. Ice Cube stands on working with Elon Musk after fans call him out.

Why? Why? Why he can't work with Elon? You know what I don't understand about all you idiots who say stuff like that? Yeah. Y'all will complain about Elon Musk and call Elon Musk white supremacist and all this type of stuff, but you're complaining on X. His network.

On his platform. Oh, you're buying his car. If you don't... Yeah. While you're in a Tesla. While network. On his platform. Are you buying his car? Yeah, while you're in a Tesla. While you're in a Tesla. If you don't like X so much, and you don't like Elon so much, I think you need to get off X. You sound like a,

you look like a complete fool complaining about Elon Musk on X. Absolutely. In a Tesla. I agree with that. Ain't going to get mad at Ice Cube, because Ice Cube is going to put the big three on X. But all y'all on X.

And they still gonna watch. That's right. Do we even think when we tweet? No. Or talk? No. We don't.

The phrase no ditty is trending after people use it to replace the word pause. Hey, y'all try this out. I'm unpauseable. You understand what I'm saying? I'm unpauseable.

I might have a gay rumor. They might think I'm a little sassy. So you're mainly gay. Yeah, there's a difference between a little sassiness. And a little zest. Okay. So you gay, but you're not gay. The you're minimally gay. Yeah, there's a difference between, you know, a little sassiness. And a little zest. Okay. So you gay, but you're not gay. The gaiety level of gay that they choose.
