Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an iHeart Podcast. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. How far would he go to cover up what he'd done? The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific.
Starting point is 00:00:26 And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here. Diddy's former protege, television personality, Denity King alum Aubrey O'Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation. It wasn't all bad,

Dr. Rita Walker is the author of one of my favorite books, The Unapologetic Guy, The Black Mental Health, and that book is celebrating five years. So she will be here to talk about that. I was with Dr. Rita Walker this weekend too at a Rock Nations United Justice Coalition we had a summit on how law enforcement can be better in regards to responding to mental health crisis so Dr. Rita will be here to support. Alright well let's get the show cracking we got front page news Morgan will be joining us so don't move it's the
Starting point is 00:05:58 Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up Morgan? Morgan. Oh, you wanted to skip sports? Okay, we could do that. First off, front page, there's breaking news out of Boulder, Colorado.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Sad news actually, multiple reports of people marching for Israelis held by Hamas are injured and a suspect is in custody following a Molotov cocktail at a mall. Now the suspect Mohammed Salman is reportedly an illegal alien from Egypt who overstayed his visa. The attack which left at least six people wounded took place during a weekly gathering of individuals. I did mention that. Now FBI director Kash Patel described the incident at the Pearl Street Mall as a targeted terror attack but Boulder Police Chief Stefan Redfern, he's not quite ready to make that designation
Starting point is 00:06:50 as of yet. So let's hear those comments from him. We are not calling it a terror attack at this point. Again, it's way too early to speculate motive. I know there's a lot out there on social media but I ask people just to give us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene. This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street. And this act is unacceptable.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Yes, so some of the injuries are reportedly life threatening and the Anti-Defamation League said on social media that the attack took place at the Boulder Run for their Lives event. The weekly gathering for Jewish community members is meant to support the hostages taken during the October 7th attacks in Israel in 2023. So, there's two. It is so horrible. I posted on that.
Starting point is 00:07:33 There's, in other news, the Trump administration is confident it will overcome any court challenges to its tariff policy. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Fox News Sunday that the latest challenge put the trade team back about a week in terms of their goals, but they added, he added that the country has returned to the bargaining table.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And Lutnick says the court challenges, the court challenge to tariffs was just a speed bump, but he believes the White House will prevail in court. Let's take a listen to his comments. Howard. I think it cost us a week, maybe cost us a week, but then everybody came right back to the table. We're going to take that up to higher courts. The president's going to win like he always does, but rest assured, tariffs are not going
Starting point is 00:08:15 away. So let Nick affirm the constitutional powers that the president has to enact emergency tariffs if the nation is at risk. Trump's tariff plan was reinstated by federal appeals court last week after it was halted by a lower court. So remember I said good luck trying to keep up with the tariffs. Now that a tariff block has officially been lifted since the last time we spoke on Friday. And more specifically, the White House says a trade deal with China is coming maybe as soon as this week. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett was asked
Starting point is 00:08:45 about the status of trade negotiations on ABC's this week and he says the tariff battle with China is still being worked out. Let's take a listen. The presidents we expect will discuss the matter this week. Once that thing's resolved then we're going to take deals into the oval that James Greer and Howard Lutnick have negotiated. So Hassett added that he expects President Trump will update the tariff plan this week and China, excuse me, Trump accused China of violating its trade deal and announced that he was doubling steel and aluminum tariffs. So again, we'll keep you posted on how these trade deals and tariffs work out as time arises.
Starting point is 00:09:21 It looks like we have a little bit more time for one more. So I'm going to go a little positive with this one. June marks Pride Month, the celebration of LGBTQ history, identity, and progress. It all started with the first Pride Parade in 1970, one year after the Stonewall riots in New York sparked national push for LGBTQ rights. The White House officially recognized Pride Month in 1999 and in 2003 the Supreme Court struck down laws that once made homosexuality a crime. But it does seem like things are headed in a reverse type situation. So while you guys can enjoy Pride Month, shout out to the LGBTQs that are enjoying Pride Month right now. All right, happy Pride Month. And yes, the LGBTQs.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Thank you, Morgan. Tomorrow the LGBTQs. Morgan just made a bunch of letters. Sleut to the LGBTQs. You might as well just say sleut to the GAYs. Well, you know, the GAYs might not identify as the T's, and the T's might not identify as the LG or the B, so you know, you got to get into it like that.
Starting point is 00:10:24 And sometimes why? 6 a.m. At 7 we'll talk about Trump's big beautiful bill. Yes, and I forgot the report sports I mean the paces beat the Knicks 125 108 I forgot all right everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 It's the Breakfast Club.

And to say that the people who think that a woman is a construct is fundamental, their premise is fundamentally flawed because in order to assign any roles or expectations to something you have to identify it first. And woman was always identified as female
Starting point is 00:16:55 and that's what it's defined as an adult female that doesn't deny transgender people or anything. That's just the truth. That's all I call it today. I appreciate you today.

Starting point is 00:18:53 but like they did like their swipe throughs, their, hey, we here together. Don't play with us. All we need is they announced the day together. I mean, they didn't say we're together, but she posted a video twerking on him on that boat in Miami, photos of them on him on that boat in Miami Photos of them two kissing on the boat. He did a swipe through pictures from the game like on their actual pages. Yes All right. Why you make it sound like it's PR like you said hard and long like she like that's what you do
Starting point is 00:19:15 We're you roll your bay out on the ground for like for real for real like it's like you know what I mean? Like yeah, you want to court today. Yes, I am. Okay. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back It's the Breakfast Club Good morning the Breakfast Club Well, let's get to a little bit about everything. The latest on the latest, the largest, the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Starting point is 00:19:51 On the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Alrighty, so let's get right on into the latest. So Cardi B, Offset, Stephon Diggs. So we did the report reporting here last week about offset and there was a filing for spousal support. Once we did that report, Cardi B saw our report
Starting point is 00:20:12 and she saw the reports of the spousal support, spousal request and she got on Twitter spaces and she spoke for herself. Let's take a listen to Cardi on spousal support. The fact that I'm waking up right now to see that this f***er and his f***ing team, I don't know, I know it's not his team. I know it's his b****s.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Gonna tell the Breakfast Club, the only reason why this m****** asking for Spousal Support because I was asking for everything and because I don't be with my kids. Yo, you such a f***ing p***y a** you such a Word to my mother I want you to die Where you die I want you to die slow in a bed and while you die I think of me and when I first filed for divorce my lawyer filed for shit and this started spazzing, right?
Starting point is 00:20:59 So I told my lawyer I asked for no child support because I want to be done with this marriage Like I feel like I'm tied up Nobody wants you don't want your kids father to die. Yeah, I think she just she's upset And so then after this sometime after this Well first that's there's another audio because then she talks about actually being able to the whole kids thing because it was the claim allegedly that So then there's not a good relationship as far as like Cardi with her kids or him being able to see the kids and she spoke to that. Let's take a listen
Starting point is 00:21:34 Kiari is allowed to see my kids. He stood up my kids three times He has seen blossom only like five times and I've been trying to save your face Blossom only like five times and I've been trying to save your face But for you it's that place and I don't be seeing my kids because you don't want to look like a less of a I allow you to talk to the kids every single day if I allow you to talk to the kids Why would I not allow you not to see the kids? It was a point that he was making a big deal like oh I'm not gonna go to New York to see the kids because I'm not gonna be seeing my kids in a hotel room I said, you know what? To make it easier for you, you could see the kids in my house.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Just because I want my daughter to feel the love of her dad. Okay? So before you start talking to me about I don't see my kids, you haven't seen the kids since March. I don't want to know any of this. I don't want to hear about any of this. Like some things should be worked out behind closed doors. It's just sad to see a relationship happen like that Yes, it's just so damn sad. Yeah, and then so following this some sometime in between and I'm sure Carti's haters love this They love to see when you're going through it, of course Yeah, I think offsets to like they both of them I'm sure because people had so much opinions and stuff about their relationships anyway, let me get those photos about their relationship anyway
Starting point is 00:22:44 So people this this just adds to the conversation people are then able to have. But following this because there was a lot of back and forth online, a lot of support for Cardi, a lot of support for Offset, Stefan Diggs and Cardi B got on Instagram and they both separately did their own post. So Stefan Diggs did a swipe through and you know, it was he actually posted on June 1st, so beginning of the month type of thing. So said in his caption to the month of May I appreciate you nonetheless gotta stay focused and we know that Cardi B has been dating Stefan Diggs there were the photos of them at the Knicks game but
Starting point is 00:23:15 this is the first time that both of them have actually posted each other on their Instagram so he did a swipe through and the swipe through includes a photo of him and Cardi B at that game. And the last video, which people of course pulled out there in the swipe through is. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
Starting point is 00:24:11 This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeartRad app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here.

Starting point is 00:24:42 Aubrey O'Day is sitting next to us here. You are, as we sit here, right up the street from where the trial is taking place. Some people saw that you were going to be in New York, and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Ditty Trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise
Starting point is 00:25:02 based on her firsthand knowledge. From her days on Making the Band as she emerged as the breakout star, the truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamour. It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there. Listen to Amy and TJ Presents, Aubrey O'Day covering the Diddy Trial on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero. She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her, until they didn't.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was dying.
Starting point is 00:27:04 This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying. Listen to deep cover, The Truth About Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Video from that moment when the Migos were at the BET Awards and the whole, did I get
Starting point is 00:27:36 left off bad and booted? That whole conversation. So he grabbed a part from that video, it's of Quavo saying like, let's wrap it up then. Something like that. So people grabbed it because they're like, okay, wrap it up then. So I'm like that. So people grabbed it cause they're like, okay, this is a shot at offset. And then you got Cardi who came back online as well. And she posted a swipe through herself.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Now her swipe through included photos from the beach, that boat on Miami, in Miami that they were on. Them two hugged up, kissed up. I saw those, I don't wanna see them. She also posted photos. I don't see them, let me see, pass them over. She also posted photos of like a bunch of flowers She received and she's holding the flowers. It like filled the living room
Starting point is 00:28:09 She also posted a video of her and Stefan's eggs on the boat getting crazy Hey, man, looking at those pictures hurt my feelings Okay Yeah Cuz your ex-wife the mother your child and moved on and found love with somebody else that hurt to see If you got a good woman if you love it and you better do right by her because else, that hurt to see. If you got a good woman, if you love her, then you better do right by her because it's gonna hurt to see her with someone else. And when that someone else got a three year,
Starting point is 00:28:30 $69 million contract with 26 million guaranteed. Oh, that's just odd, that tweet through. That's crazy that your feelings hurt. Was your feelings hurt for her when Offset was out here with the hoes? If Offset had a richer woman, yes. Oh yeah, no. I would be a little, but no yeah no but no this is working out all
Starting point is 00:28:47 right she deserve all she getting and yes look like she be getting damn I love it yes she look good on that boat all that they look good together honey love it it hurt it does it hurts to see that's a man it's just like damn I'm happy for the second half look that can happen if you, you know. If you F up. If you don't do the right thing, of course. I think a lot of us. That woman will move on.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I think a lot of us thought too that maybe one day they would figure it out, it would be good or whatever, but yeah, it seems like she's completely where she's at now. And listen, he over there crying in their lips. Frr, frr, frr. Crazy. There's no need for you to do that. It's too bad. So sad. You see what I'm saying? You see how cold women are? Women are cold. I think for the women that are, because it was a lot of women defending Cardi when we did our story about
Starting point is 00:29:39 this espousal support. People feel like they've been along this ride with them because there was a lot of the cheating allegations and things on the Offset side, but they were very public. So people feel for Cardi. They feel like, you know, she's finally trying to get her things together and all these explosions keep happening. Oh, Cardi doing her thing and Cardi has every right to do that. I'm just simply saying as a man, it hurts to see because that is what happens when that woman is fed up and when that woman is ready to move on she's gonna move on and live her best life and it's gonna hurt to see. It's sad to see because we've seen both of them come up in this industry right?
Starting point is 00:30:10 We see them start dating, we see them get married, we see them have children, we see them you know mess up together, we see them get back, we see them do music and then just to see that is just sad man. Ain't nobody sad but offset. Now what else you got going on? You so stupid. Listen, for the hell is going on here? Jess ain't got it.

Yes, and I was singing myself, I said, wake up bitch, it's the morning Pride. Grab your rainbows and go outside. Hey, hey, hey, Pride. Let's get it. Are you on the court today? It's the morning pride grab your rainbows and go outside Listen to Carti is the homie but offset being sad is enough for me. I have a little empathy for okay Just a little situation as a man as a man. I have a little empathy just cuz I'm like damn, bro She out here with somebody else not living her best life. Yes
Starting point is 00:31:02 Smoking got a $69 million contract with I mean I've got his own money too, but what do we expect Cardi B to do? That's what I'm saying at the end of the day at the end of the day That's why the spousal support thing wasn't a good look When you are there living your best life with somebody who got that kind of paper and then you do Whatever is happening in the courtroom. So that don't look right? The voice every day be that was happening in the courtroom, saying you're the responsible, that don't look right. You got it on. That don't look right. Just get over it. Niggas get divorced every day, B. Just move on.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Jess is crazy. They talking about him potentially getting cut from the Patriots over that boat video. Oh my God, that boat video is still really much a thing. Very much a thing. And a lot of people too. I don't think that's gonna happen though. I was about to say, I've seen a lot of people say
Starting point is 00:31:41 that that's a step too far to cut him, but they just, I guess, I don't know. Well, they gotta prove what's in it, right? You don't know what's in it. They gotta prove what's in it. Why did they have cameras on the boat? That's crazy. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Just pointed something out this morning because y'all were saying it was an out toy case. I never saw the video. I saw it this morning for the first time. That was a baggie. When he pops it open, there's baggies. No, it's a baggie period. I saw the pop open. No, there was no pop open. It was a baggie. Regardless pops it open there's bad. No, it's a baggie period. I saw the pop open
Starting point is 00:32:05 No, there was no pop open. It was a baggie regardless of whatever we think it is I think it was it looked like a pop of my office the same day two different things But whatever I seen was it what you showed me this morning wasn't a pop open Yeah, but I will say even outside of that as we wrap up The people just say him being on the boat having a good time in general was a bad look for the team and that that calls a lot of the upset too. I don't know. They have a reputation conversation, but yes, they would have to investigate figure out what was what but it well no matter What what happened no matter what happens with the Patriots or whatever?
Starting point is 00:32:37 He still got the girl man. Could you cut it out? I'm praying for all parties involved just quick question you go to court today who's on the stand? I know you're gonna talk about it next hour, but. Yeah, I'm not for sure who's on the stand today. I know they finished up with Mia, the personal assistant, with her cross-examination on Friday, but I'm not for sure who's on the stand today. I'll get you the answer to that.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Okay, all right. Now when we come back, we got front page news, and then Ricky Smiley will be joining us. So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV, Jess Hilariousious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club let's get in some front page news over the weekend the Knicks were eliminated
Starting point is 00:33:15 oh you can't even get it out I can't the Paces beat the Knicks 125-108 so the Paces will be taking on the first game is June 5 It wasn't even the fact that they lost they just got their ass busted Did you think about how they fumbled in game one? The Knicks didn't want to win that series. Yeah It was horrible horrible horrible horrible. Well, what's up, Morgan? I'm so sorry, you know thoughts and prayers thoughts and prayers. Let's talk about Trump's big beautiful bill So house speaker Mike Johnson says the White House spending bill will actually strengthen Medicaid. Of course, this is from opposition on the other side of the aisle. Now Johnson told NBC's Meet the Press the bill protects all safety net programs by implementing much needed reforms. He added that it will cut the deficit by over
Starting point is 00:33:59 a trillion dollars over 10 years. Let's take a listen to House Speaker Mike Johnson on Trump's big beautiful bill. There are no Medicaid cuts in the big beautiful bill. We're not cutting Medicaid. What we're doing is strengthening the program. We're reducing fraud, waste and abuse. The reason we call it the big beautiful bill is because it is a tremendous pro-growth package entwined in this legislation that is going to make everybody's incomes go up. There's gonna be more job opportunity. So the Senate will now debate the measure where Republicans can only afford to lose
Starting point is 00:34:29 three votes. The multi-trillion dollar tax and spending package narrowly passed the House last month and after the Senate votes House lawmakers will have to approve changes to the bill. I believe their deadline they're looking at is July 4th to get that passed. So we will keep you guys posted on that. Well, here's the thing too. If they aren't cutting Medicaid, you will know. So if your Medicaid gets cut, you will know they lied to you. So please remember what speaker Mike Johnson saying that they aren't cutting Medicaid. I hope they're not cutting it, but if they
Starting point is 00:35:01 do cut it, you will know that they lied to you. They say they're not cutting the Medicaid, right? But they're saying they're not cutting it. But if they do cut it, you will know that they lied to you. They say they're not cutting the Medicaid, right? But they're saying they're rooting out the waste, fraud and abuse of it. So basically, if you're an illegal alien, or if you're somebody, you know, here that may not, you know, supposed to be there, or if they supposedly feel that you're you don't qualify, then yeah, but that's where the cuts are. But that's when they're saying that's where it's that gray area of where they say it's supposed to be waste, fraud and abuse. But you know, I'm not to get too much into that. On the other side of the aisle, Democrats say Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill will kill Americans.
Starting point is 00:35:30 That's what Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy told CNN's State of the Union. Let's take a listen to his comments. When you lose your health care, you are much more at risk of early death. When rural hospitals close because of this bill, when drug treatment clinics close in Iowa and rural America because of this bill, more people will die at a younger age. So Murphy says he fears rural communities will suffer the most if the bill is signed into law. Democrats say the White House is trying to cut Medicaid and other social safety nets
Starting point is 00:35:59 by billions of dollars. Now Republicans say they are much needed reforms to the programs that will cut the deficit. So again, we'll keep you guys posted as of today. Congress is still in recess, but they will be back in session tomorrow and I'm going to be up there asking all the questions. So President Trump, he says he will seek congressional approval for Doge related spending cuts in this fiscal year. Now the Office of Management and Budget Director, Russell Vogt says the White House will use a special tool that recommends Congress take back spending that is already approved. That's
Starting point is 00:36:30 called the Empowerment Control Act. The ICA, Empowerment Control Act, specifically addresses the president's ability to withhold or delay the spending of funds already appropriated by Congress. Now Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vogt describes the rarely used procedure. Let's take a listen to his comments. It's a provision that has been rarely used, but it is there. And we intend to use all of these tools. We want Congress to pass it where it's necessary. We also have executive tools.
Starting point is 00:36:58 The very Impoundment Control Act itself allows for a procedure called pocket rescissions later in the year to be able to bank some of these savings without the bill actually being passed. So he told CNN State of the Union it was used for over 200 years but stopped in the 1970s leading to fraud and abuse. So I'll keep you guys posted on what they're going to be trying to, you know, what basically what programs are aware that money will be coming from and how it will be replaced or reused in other areas.
Starting point is 00:37:31 That one's fairly interesting. And one last one I think is impacting a lot of people seem to be a lot of very upset about this. The Department of Labor has suspended operations at more than 100 job core centers nationwide. the federal government. The federal government is working to get the federal government to the federal government. The federal government is In addition, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Duremer pointed to a number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That seems to be a developing story. It's breaking overnight. I'm going to keep you guys posted as well as to what happens as a result of these job corps centers being shut down nationwide. That pretty much concludes your front page news.

Starting point is 00:38:54 Ricky Smiley. Hey, hey. Thank you all for having me. Don't you got your own show, Ricky? Huh? Don't you got your own show? Yeah, I got it. I'm early.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Pre-recorded a prank phone call. So let me slide on over here to be with my folks. Man, Ricky, I would laugh so much watching your special, man, I was telling him that this morning. You saw it? What you mean, I saw it? Okay, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I knew you was gonna be with it. Man, I laughed so hard, you know why? Because it felt warm. Right. You know what I'm saying? Regardless of what you said, that people might be offended by it just felt like it was coming from a good place. Yeah, they'll be alright.
Starting point is 00:39:28 That's a problem, man. The comedy is just everybody is too sensitive right now. Yep. We need to get back to the 90s when comedians did what they did. Eddie Murphy Raw is still funny. Yeah. Yeah. I don't get offended at nothing. Eddie Murphy Delirious is funny. All Jamie Foxx, Martin Lawrence, those specials. Mark Curry, all of those specials are still funny, man. We just in a council culture. And on this one, I just say what the hell I wanna say
Starting point is 00:39:54 and just have fun with the audience. The audience that came out to see you, they said we want you. And that's what I gave them. I wouldn't want a young kid to watch Eddie Murphy, Raw, Delirious. Especially a young member of the LGBTQ community. Not right now.
Starting point is 00:40:07 You gotta ease into that one. Now you can't do that. You can't just turn that one on now. But is that why it took you 10 years to do another special? No man, you know what happened? I got into radio, got into raising the kids. I was still performing on the weekend.
Starting point is 00:40:23 You just have to give yourself some space. Give yourself a cushion to have a balanced life. You know, do radio, you know, do shows or whatever. But then push the kids on the swing set and just have some fun and enjoy life and sit on the beach a couple of a few weekends instead of three shows on a Saturday, two shows on a Friday. And it ain't the shows, it's the in-between show. Just, you know, the two hour, the two and a half, the three hour wait for you to go back on stage, in-between shows, sitting in a room with comedians, and we run out of things to talk about, and your voice gone, and it just, that was kinda,
Starting point is 00:40:57 I just needed a cushion. So I didn't put pressure on myself to do another one. I just kept performing in David Talbert, in Land Talbert. It was like, hey man, you myself to do another one. I just kept performing in David Talbert and Len Talbert. It was like, hey man, you need to do another special. You haven't done one in years. I said, okay. So I was like, cool, and then we did it. We shot it, did three shows, and it was fun.
Starting point is 00:41:15 I had a good time. If I have one critique, I just felt like I, oh no, just kind of felt like I had something to prove, and I think I should have just took a deep breath and just relaxed a little bit. When I go back and look at, you know, you're your own worst critic. You hear yourself on the radio,
Starting point is 00:41:30 you're gonna turn the station. You ain't gonna sit up and listen to, I can't stand to listen to myself. Prove to who? Who you gotta prove to? You just feel like you just have something to prove like you coming out. Like, huh, like, like,
Starting point is 00:41:40 now calm down, I'm not right now. It was like a walk in the park, it was like an uncle at a cookout. Like you write that's what I was gonna ask you. Did you write anything? It just seemed like you just had it and it was just it was there. Like, yeah, just I have been working on some of that material for years. And it was just sharp. It was developed. I had did it in comedy club. I had Rita Brent comedian special Big Sean, LeVar Walker, you know, helping me out or whatever, giving me, you know, punching up the stuff, making it funny and performing
Starting point is 00:42:10 it. You know, so when you perform the stuff, you know just when we did shows together, you know, I'm inside, I'll pull y'all to the side and say, hey, look, you make a mistake right here, do this right here, and then flip that, do that right there. I wish I could coach comedy. Oh, I wish you could. You can! You definitely need some comedy coaches. I would tell her, I was on B. Simone's ass one night.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Yeah. I said, why did you do that? I bought her a dress and I said, you need to do this like this. She said, for real? She said, I just really appreciate you even taking the time. Are they receptive though? The younger comedians?
Starting point is 00:42:41 Yes, she was. Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah. But she was, because she did exactly what he, because we were all on the same show. Exactly what he told her to and she got a bigger response. Sure did. Yeah. And we were just going crazy about it because, you know, I take the time to coach them. I pull just to the side and say, hey, let's do this like this. Or what do you think? Or do you think this will work better? I don't try to tell them what to do. But that's our job
Starting point is 00:43:04 because we was coached, you know, you can't make no mistakes. You have to respect that somebody put think enough of you to pull you to the side because most people not going to say nothing. Can you coach people when they not funny? Yeah, hey, hey, just don't don't go back on. UPS is high, right? Now you can write jokes. You can write funny, but they have to know how to perform it or whatever or you just have to find that whatever that niche is and build from there or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Is it okay for comedians to have writers? Yeah. Okay, so because some people are like, no I write my own jokes, I do my own stuff like you see that so much but now is the day, rappers got writers now, they help with certain things, is that okay or is it one of those things like I'm gonna give them your concept you said sometime I have a punch line I said here's a punch line I tell you what I tell you another story Cedric the entertainer wrote little Darryl no no that's a true story now we open up uptown comedy club that was
Starting point is 00:44:02 behind Houston's where we was doing the very open the opening weekend and I said, said I got this joke about this kid saying this Easter speech and we was in a 79 cutlass driving up Peachtree.

Starting point is 00:44:41 Right, yeah, right said, developed that joke for me. You're saying things in this special that people need to hear. For example, tell this brother Envy why he shouldn't die his bit. Yeah, yeah, don't die, because, that Jesper men or whatever. That's exactly what he used.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I got a little die in there, but I let the little grate seep out a little bit because women like that, right? You a zaddy. Okay, okay. B1. A zaddy.

Now, I got the little gray coming out or whatever but I took an eyeliner, the little mascara, and kind of brushed over this part or whatever, but you got to make sure you got a nice blend. Like I'm young, but the gray shows the wisdom. You know what I'm saying?

So COVID had just came out. Don L. Rollins goes on stage and man he started doing this thing. He took the hand sanitizer on stage.
Starting point is 00:47:05 And you know, that was when COVID first started because two weeks after that, they canceled all the shows to work because COVID had got dangerous. And he had the hand sanitizer and he was pumping the skin and hand sanitizer everywhere on stage. The freaking audience was going crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:20 I'm on stage, yeah! Not realizing that I was next. I'm celebrating, I'm like, yeah!, not realizing that I was next My romance a Rick you need you need to get your because look what he doing man. He did a 26,000 standing ovation or however many people that are in 12,000 20,000 whatever that state farmer No, no, we don't believe that. I don't believe Donald Rollins ever got a standing ovation. No, no, we ain't gonna do that. We ain't gonna do that. We ain't gonna do that. You ain't gonna do that to, that's my guy.
Starting point is 00:47:49 That's my guy, baby. Oh, I know, he's just talking. He always get mad though. Donald really gets mad. He doesn't even have a standing ovation. Oh, you should have been there. I got it. I believe that.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Donald's funny as ****. Tell Benji Brown to send you the video. Benji Brown got it on tape. Shout out to Benji Brown. Yeah, shout out to Benji Brown. So I I was next. So, I have a playbook, Charlamagne. So, I have acts one through nine. So, it's not different jokes but it's the order that I do the jokes depend on what happens before I go on stage. You know what I'm saying? I watch Nick Saban's speech before I perform. Oh, from I'll go there. Okay. You watch a Nick Saban or
Starting point is 00:48:22 Coach Prime speech. You can you can transform that into comedy in order to get motivated. I'm not lying man, football. So what has Nick Saban or Prime said that you actually, like, it's a line that you remember that you go out there and you... It's like he always talk about winning and being your best and just, it just builds you up to where you need to be to do whatever it is that you need to do even though we're not playing football.
Starting point is 00:48:44 So here, Darnell Rodgers on stage and you got all of the bloggers on the first two rows, all the celebrities on the first two rows and if you have a bad show in Atlanta, you can kiss comedy. Let's just kiss and say goodbye. Your career is over. You're going to be in all the blogs that they walk out on you. You're about to be in the blogs and he got a standing ovation and I had to come with it. And I went on stage and I put that work in
Starting point is 00:49:09 and got a standing ovation behind him. I saw the blog, I saw when they wrote about you getting a standing ovation in Atlanta. They ain't mentioned Don L though. They did! You saw the man? I had to see that. You out there.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Now you gonna have him showing up at my show standing up in aisle. And then he's gonna be a Donnell Rodgers and Ricky Smiley sort of Donnell Rodgers and Corey Hogan. Hey Donnell, Donnell, you know you my boy. I'm giving you props. Kick Charlamagne's ass, not mine. Yeah, so and I went backstage and I was throwing up and ****. Damn. Yeah. Why? at the same time because it was pressure. You can't get no standing ovation. Your career is over everything you work for.
Starting point is 00:49:48 If you don't have a good show in Atlanta. Atlanta? You look at every show like that, like you have to get that off. No, no, that particular city in Don L. Rollins had did this COVID joke that shocked the crowd. And it was so freaking funny. I don't even think he wrote that damn. Because COVID was fresh.
Starting point is 00:50:08 And it was fresh. COVID was fresh. So we was like right tipping. Yeah. And he did the joke off the top of his head. And he was just improving. That wasn't no written joke because you can't, the joke was not developed, right?
Starting point is 00:50:20 Because COVID had just came out, so it's fresh. So he off the top of his head, he ripping, I'm seeing drug dealers with necklaces on, falling all on the floor, crying, people getting up, slapping each other. You ain't seen that in death jam. That's crazy. Not that kind of man.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Slapping each other. You know how black people got to be. Ah, yeah. He's going too much. What's success to you when it comes to special? Or just getting it out, is that just enough? Making sure that it's special. That's the thing, they call them specials,
Starting point is 00:50:47 but the question becomes you want it to be special. You want it to be one that you and your mom gonna pull out on Thanksgiving. Like this special right here, I believe that they're gonna pull it out every Thanksgiving and every Christmas. We're gonna sit down and watch the special. Not a lot of cussing, maybe one or two cuss words.
Starting point is 00:51:03 You can watch it with your kids. They can get by that one or two cuss words that I use. And you know, every Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's going to be something that people will watch, just like they watch Lil Darryl and the How You Do That there with the bass guitar. Charlamagne, I had that in there. We had to edit it out because I couldn't get 10%. So whoever owned 10% of that song, we could not find them to pay them. Wow. Or whatever. But the Thanksgiving and the Christmas part of it is my favorite.

Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives.
Starting point is 00:53:22 You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?

Starting point is 00:57:13 I don't care who's funny and how funny they are. You might not be as funny, do you? You know, God brought you here for a reason, God. Like these last two years have been the toughest two years of my life. I wrote my son's name and birthday on the wrist of my arm before I went on stage because my son was a comedian, you know, and my son is on the special. So after I say good night or whatever, and the credits rolling, you will see a clip of me and me and Brandon on stage.
Starting point is 00:57:42 And Brandon's standing there performing. He, you know, it shows about five minutes of his performance, you know split-screen with the credits on the other side So what a great way to yeah to honor your son You know with us on stage together like we was I had him on stage when he was seven years old telling jokes And so I would take him on tour have toys in the dressing room I whatever I raised all my kids and they can take. They can tell you what every dressing room looked like. So it was a blessing to do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:09 We're still kicking in with Ricky Smiley. His new comedy special is out on Hulu right now. Charlamagne? You've always spoke about feeling Brandon's presence during performances. So how does that spiritual connection manifest on stage for you? It's almost like you're doing it for him.
Starting point is 00:58:24 You know, you're doing it for your son. Now my son or whatever he had his favorite comedians you know you know you know your kids always want to grow up try to be different from you. I don't want to be like you. My son loved Eddie Griffin, my son loved Roy Wood Jr. and stuff and you know he just had the different comedians that he liked or whatever you know so he just had the different comedians that he liked or whatever. You know, so he had a whole different style of doing comedy. His comedy was more, you know, kind of like thoughtful. A mix between Roy Wood Jr. and Lil Rel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:54 You know what I'm saying? That was, that was his whole style. He had a lot more, he was a lot more intelligent on stage. So he didn't know a lot of the older comedians. He just had his picks. Yeah, yeah, he knew them, but he just had his own style of performing. I enjoyed him. I miss him, but these last two years was really, really tough. I don't wish that on nobody. I don't wish that on my worst enemy. It's horrible. Shout out to all the mothers, all
Starting point is 00:59:19 the parents out there that had the barrier of child and lost a child. Keep your kids in sports, keep them in athletics, the discipline and the structure matter.

I just wish everybody the best and I hope all of y'all kids are safe,

So over the weekend it was revealed that Rihanna's dad Ronald Fenty actually passed away at age 70 in LA. So I wanted to send her and her family some love and you know, healing
Starting point is 01:07:25 and I know her dad, because when people reported this, that people were confused as if they didn't know that Rihanna had a relationship with her dad, her dad had had their issues, but they had recently reconciled and he was actually, I just saw an interview from him a couple months ago where he was talking about being excited for her new baby and all the things. Still her dad regardless. Yeah, but I think with celebrities, if you don't see the parent next to the celebrity every single time you see the celebrity, people like to make it seem like, I don't know, like
Starting point is 01:07:50 it's not a thing. It is still her dad regardless. But for some reason, people look at celebrities in their relationships a bit differently. I'm gonna say condolences regardless. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that was her dad or not, but that's because you said it. Yes.
Starting point is 01:08:02 And so there was a photo of her brother arriving to the hospital in LA and TMZ actually broke the photo of that story following the passing of Rihanna's dad and said that Rihanna was in the car arriving with her brother to the hospital, but she's not visible in the photo. But yeah, he was suffering a battling some sort of illness. So yeah, just send her some love. Absolutely. During the time. Her and her family.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Yes. Now Trey Chaney from The Wire. Yes. You know they were. Yes. Now Trey Cheney from The Wire. Yes. Yes. Trey Cheney. For sure. Yes.

Jehovah God man for Sparing my life today that I survived this tornado Shout out to all my neighbors in my neighborhood
Starting point is 01:09:25 who ran to my rescue. My son was thrown 300 feet out of his room. I was sitting on my bed and I felt, I heard the wind and I felt everything and everything gone. Man, when I tell you I prayed for Trey Cheney and his family this weekend after I saw that story, because literally just like that, no tornado warning, no nothing.
Starting point is 01:09:43 You just sitting in your house, your son's playing video games tornado comes through next thing you know you're watching your whole house collapse on top of you yes and then you look around and you're trying to find your son he's 300 feet away in the woods now your son in the ICU and his son had a son's born day was yesterday 19 years old celebrated his 19th birthday in the ICU now his son I have a photo of this is from the video that Trey posted where you can see there's literally nothing left of his home. Now Trey's son Malachi did celebrate his 19th birthday in the ICU. That was actually his fourth day in the ICU. And Trey mentioned that Malachi has several broken ribs, broken bones in his face, and
Starting point is 01:10:22 that Trey and his wife are currently staying with friends and family in between shelters and hotels. Now let's take a listen because he did give an update on his son Malachi's health. Just wanted to update the world on a few things. Me and my wife Aisha Chaney, our son, Malachi Chaney, he is stable. It's definitely very slow progress, but he's living and he's breathing. It's going to be a long journey, a long to recovery for my like how Cheney me and his mother Aisha we have him covered the whole world has him covered. Thank y'all for y'all prayers. Thank y'all for y'all donations Let me be clear. It's only one go fund me account as well and it's under Maria not so it's only one go fund me account Mentally, I'll be messed up forever. When my wife drove up and I was on the ground
Starting point is 01:11:07 and my son was 300 feet, got thrown 300 feet in the back of the house, watching my wife collapse on the ground from seeing that horrific picture that's going around, this woman could stay forever. Let me tell you something else too, man. The way that he has shown unwavering faith in God through all of this is so impressive because a lot of times we love to praise God when things are going good, but you know,
Starting point is 01:11:31 you should be giving God the glory all the time, even when things are so-called bad. And he is absolutely positively doing that. Absolutely. So if you're looking for his GoFundMe, go to his Instagram, Trey Chaney Vision, T-R-A-Y-C-H-A-N-E-Y Vision B-I-S-I-O and uh and yeah man if you feel it in your heart you know to donate a little something to him do it if not prayer is free. Yes yep and they are currently uh they're trying to hit a hundred K gold they're at a little bit over $89,000 and make sure it is the one by Maria Knott that he mentioned. And

Yep, and he's been documenting, also too, if you go to his Instagram, he's been keeping you updated daily on his son and how his son is doing and how they're doing as well.
Starting point is 01:12:19 So things can change just like that, like literally. Yeah. Because you know, I follow him on Instagram, so literally that morning he was at Big Tigger Show. Then you go home and you're just kicking it with your son, your son's upstairs and all of a sudden boom. Just like that. Just like that. You know what's crazy when, when um, cause I didn't see it until you, you sent it to me. After you sent it to me, I saw then CNN also picked it up. I saw people like people begin to,
Starting point is 01:12:41 yeah, they ain't, and they need the help. They, they're just, this literally, the money they're raising is going to help them like rebuild their lives. But also too, like they need to help.

That's what I sent it to, I sent it to you and I said amplify it. Yeah, I thought it was crazy.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Yeah, I thought it was crazy that it took people so long to kind of catch it and see it, but I'm happy that people are seeing it now either way, and I'm happy that they're here.

Starting point is 01:14:58 I don't even like to be nosy, but I got the dick that Enrique bought. What is going on? Is he gay? Who, Enrique? Yeah. I mean Yeah They didn't say he was at a diddy party did he I have I just said I'm not clear why on he why he's testifying I've asked uh I've asked people close to me. Google says that
Starting point is 01:15:34 it is inner city pressure says Enrique Santos like I am very confused here so and then after him would be a man named Eddiedie garcia who uh, eddie Who that's an hour eddie, right eddie garcia are any from philly? I had no envy getting called It's only a matter of time. They're calling enrique. I had no envy getting called Lord have mercy. I was never there, sir I never participated never went. You're the rock boy. I wasn't a rock boy for a short period of time I had the audio of trump talking about partying and diddy, but y'all didn't spend so much time on it. We can play a play again.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Somebody asked Trump if he was going to pardon Diddy recently over the weekend. Let's take a look. Listen. Back when you hosted The Apprentice, you mentioned once in 2012 that Diddy was a good friend of yours. Back then, he has since found himself in some very serious legal trouble. Yeah, that's true. Would you ever consider pardoning him? Well, nobody's asked.
Starting point is 01:16:28 You had to be the one to ask, Peter, but nobody's asked. But first of all, I look at what's happening and I haven't been watching it too closely, although it's certainly getting a lot of coverage. I haven't seen him, I haven't spoken to him in years. He used to really like me a lot, But I think when I ran for politics, he sort of that relationship busted up from what I read. I don't know. He didn't tell me
Starting point is 01:16:50 that, but I'd read some little bit nasty statements and the paper all of a sudden, you know, so I don't know. I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any
Starting point is 01:17:02 impact on me. Yeah, so I mean and I also asked, was there gonna be any response from Diddy's attorneys or anybody just in response to Trump saying he would even take a look and no. 50 Cent said no. Yeah, 50 gave a response. 50 said he's calling Trump and he's not having it, okay?
Starting point is 01:17:20 Diddy said a lot of dispersion things about Donald Trump and 50 said he's not having it. Now, 50 dove right in, damn. Yeah, he also said, he said said I didn't say I was gonna nuke anything this with 50 since I simply said I will make Sure Trump is aware of the things that did he said so 50 crazy Yeah, I I'm gonna now I want to know more about the ring every gay Santos Business like he not out like he's not out. He's the first openly gay broadcaster in Spanish radio. He has to be interesting. No, I didn't say that because of that.
Starting point is 01:17:50 I said that because what they got to do with him testify. No, it don't matter. I asked the question. That's why you need to stop listening to this crazy boy over here. We're on the radio. I mind my business. That was not, that information was not
Starting point is 01:18:02 imperative to you. We never mind the answer question. Why is it there? No, you didn't. You told her that. Yes, you did. You didn't you told her that yes you did Okay, all right, well that was the latest with Lauren donkey today who you giving your donkey man for after the hour We need a man named Christian on Guiano to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please All right. We'll get to that Nexus. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. I was born a donkey.
Starting point is 01:18:30 It's the Donkey of the Dead. This is Donkey. A bunch of jackass. That's how I'm for the Donkey of the Day. That's pretty fun. Should I be the devil? Possible. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, it's Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 2nd, goes to a Modesto, California man named Christian Alondra Solario Anguiano. I don't think I pronounced any of that right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:58 That is a name that ICE agents would have at the top of their list just in case they would monitor a name like that. You know, and honestly with a a name like that he might get sent to El Salvador because he was arrested for sexual battery, burglary, stalking and assault with the intent to commit a felony. All those charges will get you deported in Trump's America. Especially with a name like that. And it don't even matter if you are an American citizen. Okay they're going to put you on that deportation flight to El Salvador. But what exactly did Christian Alondra Solorio Anguiano do?
Starting point is 01:19:26 Let's go to CBS News for a report please. We got a strange one for you tonight, Adam Modesto. The Stanislaus County Sheriff says they've arrested a man last week after he allegedly broke into a woman's home at night, then bit and licked her toes while she slept.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Let's give you some context. The Sheriff's office says the man arrested seen here, 27 year old Christian Anguiano, have been stalking the woman for months following her home from work several times. Despite a number of people confronting him, deputies say he just wouldn't stop. Would even sleep in the car outside her home.
Starting point is 01:19:57 Woman's is okay. Anguiano though, suspects being held on a $325,000 bail. He broke into our house just so he could treat our feet like a churro. Cinnamon swirl, full tongue action, sweet sticky, slightly confusing. El Toe Licka Supremo, toe sucking king of the dance floor. How you break into someone's house with sazon for their feet? This man is a telenovela villain. First of all, what's the point of stalking?
Starting point is 01:20:22 At what point does a man understand this woman don't want you? And what part of your brain makes you believe that breaking into this woman's house and sexually assaulting her toes was gonna make her like you? Okay, I don't know why I got this far. This man was following this woman home after her shifts, sleeping in his car outside her residence,
Starting point is 01:20:40 checking her doors to see if they are unlocked to gain entry. If he was doing all of that, he should have been on ICE's radar a long time ago. Somebody should have been put him in handcuffs. This man was confronted by her co-workers to leave her alone, but none of that stopped him. The lesson to be learned here is that this incident underscores the importance of taking stalking behavior seriously. And we got to implement stronger protective measures for victims. And by stronger measures, we got to let people get they ass kicked okay that's
Starting point is 01:21:09 what I mean by stronger measures there has to be some sort of community policing that can happen the same way it's citizens arrests we have to make it okay in certain situations for citizens to put their foot up other citizens asses okay co-workers went to him and told him to cut it out. He was sleeping outside that woman's home. He was checking for unlocked doors at her residence. All of that should equate to a community jumping. Now, if that's too extreme for folks, then we gotta enhance legal protections.
Starting point is 01:21:36 You gotta have strong laws against stalking and ensure swift actions when victims report they are being stalked. You gotta use stories like this to increase public awareness. We have to educate the public about the signs of stalking and the importance of reporting suspicious activities. And most importantly, we got to support the victims. Provide resources and support systems for people who feel threatened. You can't wait until somebody breaks into somebody's house and turns their toes into tamales to care. Okay? So please give Christian Anguiano the sweet sounds of the hamiltones.
Starting point is 01:22:10 Oh now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. Alright, well thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes indeed.

Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing.
Starting point is 01:23:18 No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies. And quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception, lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew.

She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero. She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her. Until they didn't. I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real? Is this real?
Starting point is 01:26:12 Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was dying. This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying.

Yep, we're going to talk to her next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guide. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We have Dr. Rita Walker. Welcome back. Thank you. It's great to be here with you all. Great to have you. Dr. Rita Walker is the author of one of my favorite books ever, The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental
Starting point is 01:27:18 Health. I recommend it to everybody and you are celebrating the fifth anniversary of the release of The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health. Jesus Christ time don't be playing boy. Yeah I mean five years, God is good and and I never would have expected that the book would have had the impact that it's had you know meeting you you know being able to talk to you all the folks who have you know come to me and said the book has changed their life. You know that they buy the book for their family members and for friends, they have book club meetings. It's just, you know, it's been a blessing. I remember when I read it, Debbie Brown, our good sister Debbie Brown, she gave me the manuscript and I read it on vacation and I remember reading it and saying to myself,
Starting point is 01:27:57 where has this book been all of our lives? Well, it's been, you know, it's been a process. So I earned my PhD more than 20 years ago. And you know, working on trying to understand specifically for black people, you know, our experiences and trying to integrate that into the larger landscape of mental health that you all know has exploded. You know, trying to merge what I know as a black woman, and I'm a first generation college student, my parents didn't go to college. And merging my reality with what I was learning and the research that I was engaged in and
Starting point is 01:28:28 trying to train PhD clinical psychology students, you know, that's, it took time. So it took a little time for me to get here, but I'm here. Yeah. I noticed that it's not just about mental health. It's specifically for black mental health. Why is it important to be unapologetic about who this book is for? I'm so glad that you asked that because as you all know, oftentimes, you know, black people get lumped in with minorities. One of the labels that we use in academia is BIPOC. So black and we include folks with indigenous people of color. But we know that black people have a very specific and unique way of just living life, of doing things. We've learned mental health from the generations before us and in ways that weren't always helpful, you
Starting point is 01:29:13 know, we learned not to talk about our feelings and emotions. Like we learned that. Like what we learned impacted who we are while at the same time dealing with racism, dealing with microaggressions. You know, folks saying, you know, pull yourself up by the bootstraps and we don't even have boots. That is a reality for us and we need to be able to talk about that. And that's part of what makes the book unapologetic
Starting point is 01:29:33 is that I said, yeah, we're not talking about everybody. We're just talking about black people. That's not that it hasn't helped other folks. And I've had people from many communities, gay, straight, black, people from many different communities have said that the book has helped them, which is fine, you know, great, get what you need from the book. But I wrote it for us. How do you handle black people who still think therapy is just white people? Well, I say, you know, God bless you. And then I talked to them about things that in
Starting point is 01:30:00 their language, and I think that's part of what made the book resonate is talking to folks in ways that make sense to us and that's one of the reasons it had to be for us because we talk a certain way and I use that in the book and so you know I asked folks about their worry I asked folks about problem sleeping like in the black community we have a lot of problems with sleep and don't even we normalize it and so I talk about the day-to-day kinds of things that people experience but have normalized and then they stay, hmm.
Starting point is 01:30:27 And then we can start to have a conversation from there. I gotta, you gotta meet folks where they are. Like, and that's one of, I introduced the idea of psychological fortitude in the book because we say mental health, as you all know, folks start thinking, oh, someone's crazy, they hearing and seeing things that aren't there.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Okay, let's just move by that. Let's keep it moving. Let's figure out how I can help people with a different kind of language. I wanted to ask too, what are some of the myths that our community still have with therapy, right? We had an artist, his name is Rob49. You heard of him? What the hell? Okay, don't worry about it. But he was saying basically that he feels like he needs therapy, but he doesn't necessarily want to go because he can't, he doesn't see himself talking to them people. He don't trust them.
Starting point is 01:31:08 You know, he doesn't trust them. So what are some of the myths that you still see? Well, that's certainly one of them. They're going to tell all my business. And that's important. We, you know, you can't have folks, you can't have your business in the street. Like that's something that, that is unacceptable in our community. And so for that person, and I encounter a lot of those folks who are
Starting point is 01:31:26 struggling, you see it, you know, we see it, but if they're not ready, then you can't force them to go and talk to someone. That's one part. And I, there's so many folks, you know, and that's why we have to be non-judgmental because if we say like, this is what I see, just want you to know I'm concerned and then back off, then they know who they can go and talk to. Like this person expressed concern., just want you to know I'm concerned and then back off, then they know who they can go and talk to. Like, this person expressed concern. They seem concerned about me. I will go to them.
Starting point is 01:31:48 But yes, those big myths that are, those people are going to tell on my business. That's one part. The other part is, what can they tell me? They're not going to be able to tell me. They don't, they don't even know me. But that's part of the process is getting to know the client. There isn't a single person who would sit in front of me that I would say, I know their life story, I know how to help them.
Starting point is 01:32:08 I'm gonna start with questions. I got questions first. And then the other part is, you know, something I think that is, they're gonna make me someone that I'm not. And I need to maintain myself. Like, I don't know a professional who has the power to be able to magically make someone different.
Starting point is 01:32:25 The goal would be to make them a better functioning person, you know, to take on their responsibilities and do the best that they can, but not to make them a different person. I do have a question. What is a therapist allowed to talk about? So if I see a murder, if I murder somebody, if I see domestic violence, if I see somebody getting hurt, it always brings me back to the Mendez brothers, right? Well, they were talking to the therapist and the therapist use some of their stuff on the court case so when you see stuff like that and something is going through my mind, I'm like I go tell nobody because
Starting point is 01:32:54 What if they use it later, but then I might have to tell somebody to heal So what can you guys tell and what you know, what is just you know patient crimes? Yes, you gotta go to prison for us. If you kill someone, you can go to prison. But I'm sure there's people that have seen crimes have done crimes and they're going through things like I'll just use Rob49 again. He said that he's seen so many things in his past. He's seen death so much in his past, but he might not want to tell because he might not
Starting point is 01:33:21 want to get somebody in trouble. Well, in that example, he can say, I've seen deaths. Take it out of the line for now, just in case. So anyone can say they've seen something without giving facts or specifics and not expect for the police to come in and haul them off. But what I will say is, so we talk in the first session about confidentiality. Confidentiality is part of the bedrock of what we do as licensed professionals. You can't just go out and yap about what people have been sharing or what they've
Starting point is 01:33:49 disclosed in therapy. Now, the other thing that we emphasize is if someone says that they could be a harm to themselves or danger to themselves or to someone else, then that information might have to be disclosed in order to be able to protect that person's life or to protect the life of someone else. If they are, if there's a danger of abuse of children, elderly, or people who have disabilities or different abilities, then that would have to be disclosed. And to be honest, it varies by state, but that's kind of a minimum threshold to be aware of because at the end of the day, the client has to be able to talk to their therapist because they aren't going to be able to get the healing and the help that they need if
Starting point is 01:34:27 they can't get some stuff off of their chest. But then once they do that, then there has to be some understanding about what's going to happen next. We're still kicking with Dr. Rita Walker. It's the five-year anniversary of the unapologetic guide to black mental health. Charlamagne? We got a good friend, a good friend of mine, his name is Humble the Poet. He put out a book called Unanxious, 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More
Starting point is 01:34:49 Calm. And I want to read just a quick little line from it because I want to know what you think about it. He says, life doesn't begin after the obstacles. Life is the obstacles and we have to unlearn the idea that we need or would even want a life free of chaos, stress and anxiety. We grow from facing challenges and exploring our limits. And the book encourages people to face their stressors and triggers head-on with research-backed techniques and journal prompts. And we had a discussion here on Breakfast Club because I'm like if I know something triggers me I reserve the right to disconnect from it and set my boundary and not deal with that thing. He feels like you should sit with the thing so the thing doesn't trigger you anymore. Well I think you know how I feel
Starting point is 01:35:32 about the word should, so I avoid it at all cost and so if there is something in you that says in this moment I need to avoid this thing, I'm going to honor that. But I'm also going to ask you questions about what is happening for you. What are you telling yourself? So I'm a cognitive behavioral therapist. And so for me, you know, thoughts connect with behaviors, connect with feelings. So it all starts with, yes, something happened, but what is your thought in response to the thing? So is your thought in that moment, I can't deal with this, this is going to hurt me, this is going to harm me, I can't survive this, because it happens, it plays out automatically before
Starting point is 01:36:09 folks recognize. And so we have to slow down the process. Okay, tell me the facts, tell me what happened. I wanna know what's going on for you, because I don't assume anything about anybody. See, I was like, when he was there, I was like, F that ADAPT, right? And I explained to you, if I don't like you because you're a negative person you're always putting me down and I just don't feel good energy around you you don't affect me in any which way so I can cut you off and say you know what I'm not answering your phone anymore I
Starting point is 01:36:35 don't work with you I don't have to see you and I should that should be my right to do that because my energy is more important in this friendship I don't have to sit in it I don't have to adapt I don't care if you like me or not, but that's how we should be. I think a lot of times we try to adapt to things and we try to make things right. And I think a lot of times it hurts more than help. Yeah, you know, and I respect that a hundred percent. And I can say that there have been maybe the middle ground, because you never know. You just, you never know. If someone says something to you or they bring you a certain kind of energy and maybe you do have some relationship with the person that you're willing to consider and preserve why not say to them you know when you do X Y & Z when
Starting point is 01:37:13 you do that thing right there when you do this this is how I feel when that happens maybe they didn't know you know maybe they thought they were doing a good thing and I think that's a that allows us to be more in community because y'all we we need more and more community. I hear what you're saying. I used to try that. And thickums over there show me something different, right? Short thickums, I used to do that too.
Starting point is 01:37:33 Like you try to adapt to people. You do things that sometimes you don't want to do because you feel like it's the right thing to do, right? And short thickums over there would be like, no, I'm not gonna do it. Because that doesn't make me happy. It might make you happy for what you do, I work hard, but I wanna protect my piece.
Starting point is 01:37:47 And I didn't understand it for a while, right? Because Short Thickums just wouldn't go. He was like, I'm not doing it, you're not catching me. And I wouldn't get it. But then after a while, I understood. And I'm like, yeah, if this is gonna F up my piece, if this is not gonna make me happy, I'm on a stage in my life where, you know what, F it.
Starting point is 01:38:03 And I agree with short things. That's a little pet nickname for me. See how men can't even just say my name. He can't even say my name. He got to give me a little cute nickname just to be vulnerable, just to express himself. You know what I mean? That make you feel better? Yes.
Starting point is 01:38:17 Okay. Thank you, baby. Black mental health lord. Thank you, my waffle colored Negro. Thank you. It's my beige babe over there. That's such a beautiful moment. Yes. Dr. Walker, no. It's my beige babe over there. That's such a beautiful moment. Yes
Starting point is 01:38:32 Look so let just last night right I could not go to sleep I have problems sleeping like and I noticed you said at the beginning of the interview right where but my thing is I Can't turn my mind off. That's the that's the main thing. I don't know how to turn my brain off I'm thinking about things I I could be doing rather than getting sleep. I'm thinking about damn I forgot to do this today. It's not enough hours in a day, you know Then I got a nine month old then I'm a wife and then I got it's so much So when I'm laying down I cannot silence my mind my thoughts to go to sleep ever you can't ever silence most of the time not not ever because Weed will help me do that just being honest with you like I will hit a blunt and I will laugh and
Starting point is 01:39:16 Then I'll be out for a minute, but that's really the only thing that helps me get good rest Weed so, you know and I've heard you talk about your schedule, you know, and, you know, getting up and I think you said like four in the morning, but then you go to bed late at night. And so, you know, so, so there's so many different layers to this because yes, you are doing a lot. But one of the things that I heard you say just now was even when you're kind of sitting, you feel like you're supposed to be doing something. And so you're you feel like you're supposed to be doing something. And so you're also telling yourself, I'm supposed to be doing something other than resting.
Starting point is 01:39:51 So that's one thing for you to be mindful of. But then, you know, I think it's, especially in this day and age, it's easy to wake up or not to fall asleep because your mind is racing. I was telling my husband that this morning I woke up at three o'clock and I started to think about this conversation. And then I was thinking, okay, I can say this, I'll say that. And I was like, okay, stop. And I know better, right? I have the tools and the resources and I was like, quit it. And then that didn't work. And I said, okay, we're going to do 10 more minutes. And then that didn't work. And I was like, okay, we have to start doing our progressive muscle relaxation in order to be able to calm down. So there are
Starting point is 01:40:27 strategies. Progressive muscle relaxation. So for me it's when I close my eyes and I'm breathing deeply and I tell myself that with each exhalation to release the tension and I start with my forehead and eyebrows because I'm literally sometimes like this in bed. Who is in bed? Yeah. And so I have to tell myself to release and I go every body part, ears, nose, and then I allow my body to be able to relax into the moment because I'm literally not just thinking, but I'm feeling it in my body and I have to be able to relax that. The other thing that I recommend and I put this in the workbook. So I did the unapologetic Guide and have the Unapologetic workbook,
Starting point is 01:41:06 is giving folks permission to before you go to bed, like some people need to keep a notepad in a pen, not the phone, but a notepad in a pen by the bed so that when all of these thoughts come to mind, you write them down. You write them down before you get into bed. Like everything that comes to mind, okay, write it down and then, okay, try that. If that, you know, you wake up, okay, write somewhere down. I didn't have a notepad last night. I was like, okay, we just go and thug this out. But be able to write down all the things that come to your mind to release it because otherwise you're going to ruminate about it. And that rumination will absolutely keep you up for hours. Hours.

Like, you know, when our parents didn't know how to talk to us about it, our adults around us didn't know how to talk to us about mental health. This book right here lays it down quite flat. Yeah. Can I just add just two brief things? One thank you so much to you because, you know, there have been a lot of people who

Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight face. Tell her, tell her, man! She gets it from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Starting point is 01:43:11 She be having the latest on this. She say I'm the biggest, the largest. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest? On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Lord, can we clarify now? Enrique Santos is not the same Enrique Santos that is going to be on the stand today in
Starting point is 01:43:27 the Ditty Trial. So CNN had put it in an article. They then have come back and retracted it and they say, correction, an earlier version of this post gave the wrong affiliation for one of the witnesses the prosecution expects to take the stand next week, which is where I believe Google AI grabbed the description of Enrique Santos. And then they said, I believe that the person who did this post is the person who did the post.
Starting point is 01:43:35 And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the person who did the post. And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the person who did the post. And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the person who did the post. And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the person who did the post.
Starting point is 01:43:43 And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the person who did the post. And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the person who did the post. And then they said, I believe that the person who did the post is the for one of the witnesses the prosecution expects to take the stand next week which is where I believe Google AI grabbed the description of Enrique Santos and the reasoning of why he would be on the stand so when I asked Google why that is what happened and Lord have mercy I'm so sorry Enrique. That's exactly what Enrique just told me. He said CNN assumed it was him and reported that it was I Heart Radio's Enrique Santos. How does an organization as big as CNN make that mistake? I can understand how you can make that mistake because you're getting it from CNN.
Starting point is 01:44:12 But how does an organization as big as CNN make that kind of mistake? That's a really big mistake to make because even me, I kept saying, I'm like, this doesn't make any sense. What's his connection? I still don't know the real Enrique Santos. I still don't know the connection. And the court reporters that I follow, they just said the name. I reached out to a source close to the case trying't know the real Enrique Santos. I still don't know the connection. And the court reporters that I followed, they just said the name. I reached out to a source close to the case trying to clarify who is Enrique Santos and why.
Starting point is 01:44:30 And they were confused as well because they were seeing the conflicting reports as well. And then the person told me when they asked for more information, they wouldn't give them more information, but that that person knew of, it was what was out here on Google already. That actually could be a lawsuit from Enrique.
Starting point is 01:44:43 Oh yeah, 100%. Easily, because you put that out there on CNN, and now I got people threatening me, saying what you going to testify against Diddy Ford? That could be emotional distress just like that. That is definitely a lawsuit that's out there. Absolutely. We have to clear this up.
Starting point is 01:44:56 I'm so sorry Enrique, I did not mean to disturb you. What's up Enrique? What up Enrique? Well now I know who Enrique Santos is, and I'm gonna tune in. You gotta say, lo siento. That means sorry in Spanish. Lo siento. You mean, he's always up here. Yes. He broadcasts out of Miami, so salute to Enrique Santos is and I'm gonna tune in. You gotta say, lo siento. That means sorry in Spanish. Lo siento. You mean he's always up here. He broadcasts out of Miami so salute to Enrique. Yeah so Enrique Santos is not the podcaster, I Heart Guy. Eddie Garcia who worked at security
Starting point is 01:45:15 at the Intercontinental Hotel is expected to testify but it's going to be under immunity so he's going to be doing a lot of like not speaking to certain things. So I'm... When I keep hearing this immunity thing, does that work for the defense because if you speak for me immunity You know, it's kind of like okay, I can tell but if I'm part of it, it doesn't really matter, right? The defense has tried to bring up the whole immunity conversation to show reason why people are here and potentially could be saying whatever because basically They're being protected. I don't know if that answers your question It does but they have tried to bring that up a couple times a hotel custodian will also be testifying people are here and potentially could be saying whatever because basically they're being protected. I don't know if that answers your question. Yeah, it does. But they have tried to bring that up a couple of times.
Starting point is 01:45:47 A hotel custodian will also be testifying and a forensic video expert will also be testifying as well today. But that's exactly why I like to go to as strenuous as it is. I like to go there myself and figure these things out myself because Lord have mercy. But anyway, in other news, Zion Williamson is being accused of sexual assault. He is the basketball player, he played for the Pelicans. He's being accused of sexual assault, raped by a woman who is filed under Jane Doe.

And she alleges that this happened after she denied engaging in sex with him. She also says that or alleges that he held her hands behind her back. And then the sexual assault happened. And afterwards, she alleges that Zion took her phone and choked her and told her allegedly that she was talking too much. And then a second claim happened after the second claim happened after he
