Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

Jess is out today. What's up, Lauren? Hey, good morning. Turn a mic up a little bit. Shalomay's running a little late, and it's Tuesday. Is that better, Anthony? You gave me better? Nah, a little, a little more, a little more value.

That's all I got over here. You're good there, right there. It's perfect. What's up, Lauren? Okay. I'm at Delaware State. Y'all got a radio station? Stop playing with us.

I'm just joking. I'm just joking. Yes, we have a radio station. The ES radio station. I'm broadcasting live from Delaware State University this morning because I'm speaking at Convocation. Now, what is convocation for people that didn't go to college or didn't go to HBCU? Break that down? Well, convocation is like the official welcoming ceremony.

for the student body. So it sets the tone for the school year. It welcomes the new students and a new student body. And it's kind of like that, like, motivation to, like, go into the year and conquer. So you, they have come,

people come and speak to the students and this year I was ex. That's that Delaware State radio station. Went right, right out. I'm back. Don't, don't. I'm sorry. All right.

I heard you the whole time. It would never at Hampton. But go ahead, go ahead. No, I'm just joking. Oh, my God. So you said you're going to be speaking to the students today. What's one thing that you're going to tell the students

out there for any students that this is their first year. What's one thing you're going to tell them? I'm going to talk about vision and why vision is important. Now their first day on campus up until the point that they leave and how that worked out for me. Just to motivate them to have some fun, but you know, don't forget

why they're here. Okay. I'll also tell them to step outside the box. That's one thing I wish I did when I went to college. I wish I would have took classes of courses that was outside of my major, outside of my comfort zone. Maybe take a class in politics. Maybe take a class in psychology. Maybe I take a class in

I don't know, whatever it may be, just to step outside the box. Because, you know, once you're in college, it's paid for for that semester. So you might as well take as many classes as you possibly can and learn as much. Because once you're out, you're going to go back like, damn, I wish I would have took that political class. I wish I would have took that whatever class or, you know, whatever it is. I always tell people step outside the box. Take a class that you might not be interested in, but I'm sure it could open up so much

for you, you know? Yeah, that's true. Also, too, because you never know what you need. Like, when I first came to Del State, I was a criminal justice. I was trying to do political science and law and my mom was like, you need to know the law and I was like, no, I don't, I'm working entertainment and how many court cases we'd be talking about?

You know, you know, I wish I would have to take law classes as well just to understand, you know, easier to break down, you know, of course we have to study it and read over and over and over, but I wish I would have definitely took some law classes as well. I'm glad you got out, you know, being a DJ as a major and not ever really going to class because, you know, the way that handpin just pushed you all through.

Mine was business management and marketing, excuse me, there was no DJ as a major. Yeah, yes. Y'all stays a little different. We actually go to class. We have a good time, but we actually go to class here. So, you know, I'm going to make sure I let the students know that DJ Envy, who went to school for bowling, you know, told them to step outside the box.

At least we have a bowling team. I'm sure you guys don't. But let's get the show cracking. We have front page news with Mimi. She'll be joining us. She'll be breaking everything down. Shalermaine will be here in a second. So don't go anywhere.

It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with sports and Monday night football. The Vikings beat the Bears, 27, 24. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, y'all. So a lot to unpack this morning.

Some new Jeffrey Epstein breaking news. We start in Washington, where lawmakers have released a 238-page birthday book once gifted to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday back in 2003. An inside is a note allegedly written and signed by President Donald Trump. Now, the book put together by Galane Maxwell contains other handwritten notes, sketches, and messages from Epstein's high-profile circle of friends and associates. Trump's page formatted like a conversation between him and Epstein references two men having a conversation, and it ends with the line. A pal is a wonderful thing.

Happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret. Now, this isn't the first time we've heard about this note. The Wall Street Journal, they first reported on this back in July, and at the time, Trump, he called it a fake and filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the paper. But this is the first time the image has been publicly released as part of Epstein's estate documents handed over to the House Oversight Committee. Now, the White House, they are pushing back. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, she wrote a statement on social media saying President Trump did not draw the picture and he did not sign it. Now, when the Wall Street Journal, when they first broke this story, reporters caught up with the president as he was boarding Air Force.

first one and pressed him for a response. Let's listen to that exchange. I don't even know what they're talking about. Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, but that's happened a lot. So he's saying it wasn't him. He was saying that somebody else that drew that letter and wrote that letter to him. Exactly. Have you seen that letter, Envy?

Yes. The drawing? Yes, I have. I saw it too. You saw it too. So it's just that outline of a nude woman's body with the secret. And so lawmakers are asking, you know, what is this secret that they're talking about? And so yesterday, House Speaker Mike Johnson, he said, he's now walking back his comments saying that Trump acted as an FBI informant during the Epstein investigation.

And he's clarifying that. Let's listen to what he had to say. What I was referring to in that long conversation was what the victims are trying to say. More than a decade ago, President Trump kicked Epstein out of Marilago, and he was one of the only people, one of the only prominent people, as everyone has reported, not President Trump, but everybody about him, that he was willing to help law enforcement go after this guy who was a disgusting child abuser, sex trafficker, all the allegations, that's what they heard. So the president was helpful in that. I don't know if I use the right terminology, but that's common knowledge, and everybody knows that. So this is much ado about nothing. so it just seems as more documents and more things keep coming out Republicans are having to walk back their comments they're having to

deny what we can see with our own eyes and so we'll continue to see what's happening a bipartisan group of House Democrats they're still pushing for the release of additional Epstein files meanwhile Trump is reportedly still dismissing all of this and calling it a Democratic hoax they should never stop talking about it I keep saying it over and over treated the way you know Republicans be treating transgenders in sports I don't believe that painting

though I'm gonna be honest you see that drawing you don't believe it you don't think it's a real letter I think that I think that somebody I think somebody down with Trump planning that

make it seem so crazy because once you debunked that and prove that it's fake then maybe people are looking at everything else like it's fake it just seems too it just seems too damn silly to be real

not saying that it's not a silly administration it just seems too silly to be real I thought that much ago. I said that much ago when that letter first came up. Yeah. Well, and while the White House continues facing fallout from the Epstein revelations, the Trump administration just scored a major legal victory at the Supreme Court, one that could have sweeping implications for immigration enforcement here in California.

On Monday, the court lifted a lower judge's limits on immigration stops in the Los Angeles area, allowing federal agents to once again stop and question people based on factors like speaking Spanish, The type of work they do are even being present in locations where undocumented migrants are believed to gather. The administration had asked for an emergency intervention calling the restrictions a straight jacket on its enforcement efforts in Southern California. Now, the order was split six to three with the court's conservative siding with the Trump administration. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote separately suggesting the plaintiffs likely have no legal right to sue and predicting the administration will likely prevail in the broad. her case. But in a sharp dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, she warned the ruling opens a door to racial profiling. She wrote, we should not have to live in a country where the government

can seize anyone who looks Latino, speak Spanish, and appears that work a low-wage job. She was joined by justices Elena Kagan and Kadongi Brown Jackson. The ruling, it tosses out a July decision from a Biden-appointed judge who put limits on immigration stops in Southern California and that judge said agents can't rely on race the type of work that you do or physical location but those new ruling now will apply to central district of California and that's an area where nearly 20 million people live so what's new other than they made it legal like they've always racially profiled people they just can't get in trouble for it now they're just saying they're just saying it out loud and putting it on the books that you know we're not going to be

punishing nobody if they do get caught doing it but this is always happening absolutely but civil rights groups, they filed lawsuits and things like that after it was happening here in California, after ICE was here in California, and they had that downtown raid and all the things that they were doing. And so this is just the react, this is just what happened from that

lawsuit. All right. Well, thank you, Mimi. We'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, call us up right now again. Phone lines. 800-58-105-105-1.

It's the breakfast. Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk. I hate the way that you dress. Everything with me is blessed.

Call up now. 800-585-105-1. Not just me. I'm with the coach of feeling. Hello, who's this? This is B-U. Good morning. Breakfast Club.

B-U, what's up? Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, yo, two things. First thing is that I just want to, um, Part and tough. Good morning, Charlemagne. Good morning, Envy. Good morning.

Jeff, if you're there. Good morning. Good morning. I just want to say that, you know, like, I just want to put out there that the administration that we have in America, they need to be aware that

everything around Donald Trump goes down. I guess they haven't learned nothing with the Schumer case. But for the most part, you know, he's the only one that has immunity. So all his kind of part that's rolling with him, hold it down when it changed.

Now, I just also want to say, I want to give a shout out to my beautiful wife, Shana Sanders, my son, T.J., Tyler, Tyraia, Jojo, I love you guys, have a blessed day, and Charlemagne. Yes, sir. I'm trying to stay on top of my mental health out here, my brother, and I'm just calling, I got it through a few times. I never ask you. And if possible, I can get one of your great books.

Absolutely you can get a book, man. That's easy. That's an easy call. Where you live at? I live in Long Island. Well, you should come. Suffering County. Well, you should come to my fifth annual Mental Wealth Expo.

It's happening Saturday, October 11th in Newark, New Jersey at the Joel and Diane Bloom Wellness and the event center. It's a day of mental health education in Hailing. It's a free event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We got some of the best mental health professionals in the country from Debbie Brown to Jason Wilson to Dr. Alfi Breland Noble, Dr. J. Barnett. They're all going to be there, man. So it's a free event. So you should pull up. You're pulling up, sir, man.

I'm coming to see you. Remember me, man, be you. Envy. Absolutely. You know I always been following you. L.L. Kubei, you stay big, doing what you do. Jess, how you doing? Hi, B, you have a good one, brother.

Hold on. And listen, you can go to Mental Wealthexpo.com to register to attend. You don't have to register the 10, but they recommend it. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Mike from Florida, MJ. Mike? Yes, Mike from Florida. I'm from Jersey City.

Hey, what's up, Mike? Get off your chest, Mike. Yeah, MV. I've been, said hello to everybody. Who's up, Mike? Every year you have your car show, and I know they'd be asking you to come to California, Chicago, Detroit. This is what I was thinking. Take all your celebrity friends, have them send pictures to your email or whatever, even from California, Chicago, right?

And instead of you shipping your cars there, have the car shows there with their cars, and then your Eastern friends, they can be on the, you know, on the thing as well. and then you can have your car shows in different cities next year without all that cost of you shipping your cars. You understand what I mean? Yep. I see what you're saying, Mike. The only problem is when I do these car shows in different cities is not just picking up and taking cars.

It's like a, if you really think about it, it's like a moving circus. So, you know, when you go to the circus goes from city to city, they got to take everything, not just the animals, not just the people, but the rides and attractions. So it's the same thing. We take the rides and attractions as well. So we take the red carpets, the velvet ropes, the setups, the breakfast club fake studios

the picture arrangements all that we go from city to city so it's not just taking cars if that was it then we could do that it's like I said we move it's a whole production it's not just we move one thing it's it's a big production

oh I didn't know it I'm sorry but it was just a suggestion it's something you know something to think about appreciate it even still like with your West Coast friends they can send their pictures of their cars and at least they can be represented

in your car shows, you know, because I know you have friends on the West Coast who would love to have their cars featured in your car shows, but it costs so much, like you say, the Senate. Yeah, we're going to get on the West Coast, and if you've never been to my car show, all the cars this day is not mine,

so there's like 200 cars. So a lot of cars, most cars are from the regional area that we pull up in, but we're going to expand more and more and more. People love the car show, and we've been, you know, talking to a bunch of different car clubs. So we're going to start branding it on to the west side

and west coast and stuff. like that. I think next year we're doing Carolina, Dallas, Virginia again. So we're going to hit a couple more markets, Bubba, but thank you. Oh, you guys have a nice day and say hello to the rest of the breakfast club. Hey, Red. Okay, definitely. He said, hey, Red. Get it off your chest. He shouted out. He shouted like, he grabbed your butt before, right? Right, hey, Reed. Nah, he shouted y'all like you hitting you acting like you don't know him. You know what saying? You know what I'm saying? He hit, and you saw Red and Red and he didn't know him.

Hey, Ray. Red. Get it off your chest. Get it off your chest. 8,000. 585-105-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Cam just made a post, made your announcement. I want to congratulate him for making 50 his new boss. So congratulations, Cam. 50 is now your new boss and you're proud of it.

Congratulations, my... So question, I know Dame will... here there so I'm asking if 50 has the rights now who had the rights before I'm assuming it was dame dash who had the rights before so did he lose control of the rights because of his chapter 7 bankruptcy filing because you know you have to surrender like key rights to satisfy creditors is that what happened in this situation I did ask dame you know what happened from that time until now but I have not heard back on that yet so I have an answer to that soon but I know in the bankruptcy filing after you're talking about that that went down

down, you know, the end of last week. He mentioned that he has no, Dame Dash mentioned that he has no monthly income, no house, no car, no publicly traded stocks, retirement accounts, only about four, or a little over $4,000 in worldly possessions. And he listed his assets as like guns, furs, jewelry, that equal up to like $2,500, TVs, computers, some electronics, and $100 cash in hand, didn't mention any rights or assets. And I know when we did the last story about, remember, he had to, they were saying that he

had to put up some of his movies and, you know, just different things that he owned for some of his prior debts. This was not mentioned either. But, I mean, I'm just trying to figure out, you know, how did he lose? How did he lose the rights to pay them full? Or did he even own the rights to pay them full? Because I just want to know the business. Like, Dame is always teaching the business. He's always teaching about ownership and being a boss. So I just want to know how did 50 end up getting the rights? Because I thought Dame had the rights. I would assume. I don't know. But are we still talking about this boss conversation? Like, is that a conversation that we're still having, that's the first thing he said, 50 cents is his boss,

and 50 said that's his partner on it. He's EP and with them, so I guess they're partners. But I hate this boss conversation because I hate the fact that people be like, I don't need no boss. I don't want no boss. Well, sometimes not having a boss will lead you into foreclosure and only having assets to lead up to $2,400. Damn.

You can't keep having this boss conversation without having a real conversation about entrepreneurship and what you need to do as an entrepreneur. We can't keep having these conversations. Dan posted that old clip of him getting at you on Breakfast Club. I didn't see that. a long time. That's a little hot this morning, huh? No, that clip is amazing.

That clip is amazing. If you see what happens within 10 years and then you look at that clip, you'd be like, oh, man. Somebody else, somebody had a bad decision. Well, I will. Well, Dame should be happy

that the rights, the paid in full went to another black man, and he should be happy that that black man decided to make another black man the executive producer of the film. Not to mention Cam was a star of the original film. That sounds like good black business to me.

Yeah. Collaborative business. I agree. And I think the way that, I mean, Kim has always been, you know, a great storyteller, but he's been dominating content for so long. Him teamed up with 50. I'm really excited to see the way that they tell the story as well, too. You know what I mean? And it's unity and group operation.

How can you not be happy at the fact that a black man got the rights to a film and decided to make another black man the executive producer? Like, you know, people at the top are collaborating. People at the bottom are competing. Yeah, and that's what I said. And it's only right. Like the story's based out of Harlem, 50 sentences from Queens. Like, it's only right that you get somebody from Harlem that can oversee, that can tell the stories that was there, that heard the stories.

And he was an original, he was an original star in the movie. It's a smart-ass move. It's the smartest move, you know? And maybe, like I said, maybe Dame can explain it, you know what I mean? Because I just want to know the business. Like, you know, who had the rights before 50 acquired him? If Dame had the rights, how did he lose it or did he sell it to 50? Like, what happened?

Like, I just want to know. I want to teach us, boss. You're stupid. I'm sure he was responsible. Well, no, last time I talked to Dame, though, he said he wants a verbal fair one with you, Charlemagne. So I'm sure this will definitely make him explain or have a conversation about what that was. I'm sure he said pause.

I'm sure he said pause after he said there. And he said pause. He probably did. I just want to be taught, boss. God damn. Why? I'm seeking knowledge, boss. You're so-called another black man, another man, boss.

What do you mean, man? There was no pause. Some knowledge, man. That's all. I want to be taught, boss. All right. This guy's stupid. That's the latest with Lauren.

When we come back, we got front page news. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious.

Salomey the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. La Rosa is here as well. She's actually broadcasting from Delaware State University. And let's get back in some front page news. Now, some quick sports. The Vikings beat the Bears and Monday Night Football. Oh, 2724.

What up, Mimi? Good morning, y'all. So the IRS is putting taxpayers on alert, warning that viral tax hacks on TikTok and other social platforms have already cost Americans more than $162 million in penalties. So here's the latest scam. There are two of the, here's two of the biggest ones right now. The agency says that people are falling for misleading advice about the sick and family leave credit and the fuel tax credit. So the sick and family leave credit, it was created during the pandemic to help to help self-employed workers. So think freelancers, ride chair drivers, small business owners who couldn't work in 2020 or 2021 because they were sick with COVID or they were caring for a loved one or they were just home with the kids while daycares were closed.

But here's the issue. TikTok experts are now telling everyone that they can claim that credit right now on their current tax returns. And that's wrong because that credit expired in 2021. it never applied to traditional workers. And the second red flag that we're seeing is the fuel tax credit. Now, this tax credit was designed for off-highway businesses, meaning farmers, truckers, and businesses that use fuel for things like tractors, construction, and generators.

But social media influencers, they're claiming anyone can use it to get a bigger refund. So to put just gas in your car, you can use the tax fuel refund, and that is incorrect. The IRS says, if you're driving on a public road, you don't qualify. And so there's been a surge and questionable refund claims. It's leading to delayed claims, denied claims, $5,000 in fines, and an audit. And so tax experts say if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And the bottom line is don't let TikTok do your taxes. And just a reminder as we, would you say, Charlemagne?

I was going to say between TikTok and these so-called financial gurus giving y'all tips on how to avoid paying Uncle Sam, all of y'all going to end up in jail. And I feel, I feel sorry for these people because they are. really looking for information and they're just simply getting misinformed like actual go to actual tax experts you know in America you got to spend a little bit of money to save a little bit of money and to make a little bit of money so I know that you know

you may not want to pay somebody to do your taxes but go get somebody who actually knows what they're doing an actual expert to do your goddamn taxes yeah and that's what they're saying there's a talk to a real CPA or tax pro and as we just as a reminder if you filed for an extension October 15th is the

deadline to get those in and if you are in a disaster relief area like a wildfire area though that date will also apply to you you have until October 15th to get your taxes in and this story for this morning is just right on time as Lauren is at Delaware State

New York City just made history opening the first HBCU-focused preparatory high school in a major U.S. City. Now the HBCU early college prep high school is located in Jamaica, Queens. It is designed to expose students to the

culture, the legacy, the opportunity offered by HBCUs, the principal Dr. Asia Johnson, she is a proud Delaware State University graduate. She says the goal is simple to give students a head start and a broader vision for their futures. Now, interest in the school has been overwhelming. There were only 100 seats available this year, but more than a thousand students applied to get in, students had to submit an essay, solving a community issue in health care or technology, record a two-minute video explaining why they plan to, or how they plan to use their degree and how they plan to get back. Starting in 11th grade, students can take online courses taught by Delaware State University professors, earning up to 64 credits.

That's the equivalent of an associate's degree before they even graduate high school. And so students are guaranteed even better. Students are guaranteed admission into DSU once they complete the program. So, Lauren, your school is doing big things. I went to Howard. So shout out to all HBCUs, but Delaware State on this one is doing great things. I want to say,

if we want to encourage kids to go to HBCU, should Delaware State be the leader? I mean, I feel like me. Stop it. No, I'm just saying, me. Howard, I can see Howard. I can even see Hampton. I can see South Carolina State.

But Delaware, like, seriously? Like, should they be the leaders on this? Stop it, man. This is your moment. Yes, they should be the leaders because you know what happens when Delaware State becomes a leader of the conversation? We get more people like me to come and work with y'all.

I just got a note from the radio station, too. They wanted you all to know this is the renovated station after COVID. So they have new equipment now. That's small, but they're mighty. Okay? They say, none about the equipment. First of all,

tell them we ain't anything. We're talking about that little nasty-ass band of that little nasty-ass tower. That's fine because the Breakfast Club is going to sponsor some branding in here. That's what they're hearing. That's what they're rooting for. That's a football game tower. That's from the game. That's what they're going to put more money to the football team at the station.

But on the real, Dr. Asia Johnson, who is running at in South Jamaica, Queens, if you're out there listening, you know, Queens is my borough, that's where I'm from. I would love, and I'm sure I will bring Lauren with us, we would love to come down and talk to the students. Whenever you need us, we will be there for you. I love what you're doing, and the fact that you're encouraging students to go to HBCUs. The only reason I went to HBCU is I've seen a different world, and that encouraged me. I thought, to me, a different world was Hampton University, and that was the reason why I went. So the fact that if you need us, we will be there.

You can DM us. You can call out people. If you're from Queens, I'm sure that you know somebody that knows somebody that knows my mama. So please hit us up. We would love to support you and all that you are doing. I love what you're doing. Even though you went to Delaware State. I actually am in contact with her already.

If y'all were a call back. Okay. All right. We love to. Thank you for that story, Mimi. Yes. Absolutely. All right, y'all.

Well, that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me on social at Mimi Brown TV. And for more news coverage, follow the Black Information Network. or download the free IHeartRadio app and visit B-I-N-News.com. Thank you so much. You know it's so crazy, Charlemagne?

What? Your lineup? No. Lauren talks about everything. She talks about Delaware's football team. She talks about Delaware's parties. She talks about everything. But here's a graduate of Delaware State doctor doing some big things.

And you ain't mentioned that one time. I just saw it. That's Mimi. Mimi said she gave it. Wait, yeah, because wait, I got to have Lauren's back on this. because we talked about this yesterday. So I had, we talked to, you know, I knew she wanted to do it. So we talked about it.

So you got to give Lauren some credit. She already knew. She just saved it for me. It's okay. They just like to hate and, you know, you know how they do black women. Well, me, you're new, so you don't know. But, girl, we're going to need each other. Because if Charlemagne, it's Charlemagne, envy goes in and out.

You know he had black. Damn. I'm not half black. I'm full black. But all right. Anyway, thank you so much. Now, when we come back, Danielle Deadweiler, will be joining us, actress. And also, Artie Thorne will be joining us.

So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Their new movie, 40 Acres is out right now. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ NV.

Jess Hilary. Shalameen, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. La Rosa is here as well. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We have Danielle Deadweiler. Welcome.

Good morning. And we have R.T. Thorne. Welcome, brother. Thank you. How are you feeling this morning? How are y'all both feeling this morning? Beautiful. Really great.

We're happy to be together. You know, I know, I know y'all here to talk about 48. but I got to tell you, phenomenal job until, you know, phenomenal job until, you know, I always wondered about that role because it tells one of history's most painful stories. How did you prepare emotionally for that role?

The way I prepare for anything, it's rigorous research. I just grew up in Atlanta, and so the civil rights community in Atlanta has reared me. I did, you know, volunteerism with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as a kid went to

Cascade United Methodist Church which Dr. Reverend Lowry who partnered with Dr. Martin Luther King during that, you know, pivotal time. You know, those are people who were critical in defining my life and understanding of society and community. And so all of that kind of like

that intuitive personal history as well as, you know, academic knowledge and history about that, the era went into creating that role and just staying rigorous with the relationships with Chinoya who directed it and the family and just it's been such a palpable thing for me once you tap into a role like that like playing the mother of Emmett Till how do you get that out of you like how do you just go back you don't right no no anything that that is visceral

like that that stays with you it's a a wound a scar of sorts and you walk with it and I mean that's the beauty of it right like I get to talk about this all the time I get to talk the history of the work and how it's supposed to have this residual effect this kind of echo and it'll be in conversation with any work that I do moving

forward so I'm curating in that capacity I wanted to go back if you don't mind I wanted to what made you want to be an actress like what was the thing what did you see on television what play did you go see what did your mom and still you said this is what I want to do it's just been in my life I've been acting and performing since I was a

child. My mom made sure that myself and my siblings were always a part of arts-oriented things. Atlanta, black Atlanta, black arts Atlanta in the 80s is just pivotal, right? So I started and danced and naturally segued into theater through critical

cultural markers in the city, Total Dance Theater, Gary Harrison Studios, Saw Jamandi Productions all the time. I grew up as a Kenny Leon's True Colors Theater Company, young artist. So this has just been, which it should be

right for children. It should be for people in general. The arts is just a part of our lives. It came a critical moment after academic pursuits that, oh, I'm missing something and I had to return. And so one of the first things that I did when I was making the professional return was

for color girls and Jasmine Guy directed it. And so it's just whooshed from there. This is a question for both of y'all, right? Going back to the till thing a little bit, but also talking about 48 because what did till teach you about the responsibility of storytelling i don't know if till taught me that responsibility i think it's just always been present our history is is is integral our history is is is just it's a it's a brilliant thing that's a part of everything that i do

everything that we do um and and which is the way that it works in 40 right like she is teaching the children, not just about how to survive, but how to synthesize history with culture, with agriculture, with, you know, all of the qualities of life. It's a spherical thing. Everything is connected. Yeah, their roots of survival in the film. It's not just rooted in they can kick some ass. Yeah, they got military might. But the important thing is that It's rooted in their preservation of their culture. You know what I mean? That's also surviving for them.

And it's very much, that's why in the film, it's like you see the family. They're all about their culture, their history, like the book reports that she gets them to. You have to know yourself as you're surviving as you're moving forward because you're the only ones that are going to do that. It's, you know, the language that they have. You know what I mean? Galen, the father's passing down his language. The agricultural practices is. It's all rooted in their history, and that's how this family is truly surviving in the future.

And yet they're truly joyful, right? Just sitting down, telling stories while she's doing their hair, or the games at dinner time, like critical things that people talk about that they don't necessarily get anymore. Like, let's just sit down and be a family and play and enjoy each other. Like, those things are what people are fighting for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In a time right now where, like, so many of our spaces and, like, the things that you guys are talking about passing on, like our stories or history are being like quieted by certain people.

Creating this film for you guys, how did you pick and choose what you wanted to teach us through it? Because we learned so much, but there was so much we need to know in order to be able to preserve our history at this point. I mean, for me, yeah, for me, it honestly, it came very organically. It really wasn't like choices.

It was just like, you know, my mother, you know, the echo of the relationship in the film between Haley and Man. is like it's an echo of me and my mother and and you know um she came to Canada as a as a as a trinidadian immigrant you know what I mean and she you know as much as people love to think that Canada's like this you know bastion of like you know racial whatever it wasn't it wasn't in the 70s you know what I'm saying so she came here it was very much like she experienced a lot of discrimination and she was like you have to be prepared for this world and from the jump my mom was like I don't

trust these institutions to teach you your history. So you're going to do book reports. Why are you going to school? Why are you doing whatever? You're going to do book reports. You're going to learn some culture. You're going to read, you know what I'm saying? You're going to read parable.

You're going to, you know, so all of those things were directly from my life that I just, I gave to Haley to pass down to her children. You know what I mean? And just that, that understanding of who you are will preserve you as we move forward. Because as they try to erase us, we are the only ones that are going to, keep our stories prevalent and important to our, to our descendants. Now, you tell a lot of stories. Canadian directors tell a lot of stories.

You started with music videos. Why is the Canadian eye so good at telling those music videos, which goes to television, which goes to film? Why is that eye? Because we can name a list of Canadian directors. Yeah, you know, I don't know. That's a real good question because I took my influences from some of the greats, some hype Williams, you know what I mean?

And I know you're talking about the legacy of Director X, you know what I mean? But I think Canada has a very interesting perspective. We're very close to y'all. And our culture is heavily influenced by America, but we're very sort of diverse. And there's people from all over the world that come to Canada. And in Canada, you bring your culture and you keep your culture. And we celebrate people's culture. So the influences come from all over the place

And we look at it the world in a way And so, you know, we're picking and choosing different things And so the influences come from all those places And I think that's why that in a way we can We can kind of pull from everybody Shalomain RT how do you balance creating entertainment But also have the deeper messages in it

It's just something that's organic to me You know coming from the history that I just talked about With my mother and stuff Like, that stuff is in me where I realize the importance of it because of what she instilled in us. So I want to make sure that, you know, it's reflective of that, knowing that our history and things should in, they shouldn't be infused in what we do to make sure that we get a chance to tell a story. I'm going to make it count. I'm going to make it, you know what I mean? Like, I'm not wasting it.

But at the same time, I grew up on Spielberg. and you know what I'm saying, Spike Lee and James Cameron, you know, so I'm a comic book nerd, you know what I mean? So I grew up on X-Men, you know, so, and these things were entertaining. So I'm like, well, I want to do both. I want to entertain, and then I want you to walk away, I want you to take the movie home with you. I want you to walk away thinking about it the next couple of days, you know, I want you to want to talk about it with people. You know, there's a lot of films out here, you know, people are craving that, I feel. There's a wave happening right now.

You know what I mean? People are craving original stuff. They're tired of seeing such and such four and five. You know what I mean? Like, you know, and you see, you see the brother, you know, Ryan Kula coming with the sinners. You know, you see, you know, even Zach Kregor with the weapons movie. You know, it's just like people are interested in. Give me something different.

Very frustrating, though. Yeah. Because that should have always been the way in Hollywood. Because whenever you see. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on. the Black Effect Podcast Network. Join me every weekday as I share bite-sized stories of missing and murdered

The things that really pop off and breakthrough, it's really something new. I've never had seen Game of Thrones before. You know what I mean? Like, of course, sinners, but I've never seen those type of things. understood why Hollywood didn't want to be original. Like it was

a time where originality seemed to be like, I don't want to take a risk on that. Yeah. We're going to go to what's considered safe. Another superhero movie. It's turned into theme parks, right? It's like, this is for everybody. Come on the ride. You've seen it before. You know what it is. So come pay your money for it.

And I don't know. It's... I mean, there's something to serial. I think the serial framework is interesting to people. I just think that there isn't that era is shifting. There is a great level of fatigue, and the world is wanting something that is more ruptuous, something fresh, something that is more political or deeply personal and just more queered and strange and weird. Those kinds of things have always been in the framework. It's just about those things rising to the surface for folks.

Do you feel like you get presented like nothing but dark roles? Not at all. Okay. I have a slate of madness coming from. Okay? Don't ever, like, the last three things I've done have been straight up comedy. Dark, grounded, slapsticky kind of. Like, I get the gamut, and I am curating for that.

I mean, we're not, there is no one-dimensionality ever, you know. And I'm interdisciplinary in all of the work that I do. You do that on purpose because you don't want to be, like, typecasses and the person. You can't, who typecasting, who? Ain't nobody going to typegast and who? as me I get to I'm creating I am working with a team of people who know who I am at my core I'm building from my inner world and I select um accordingly you know when you say that you mean you're also creating projects too that put you in different lights because I know

your EP is yes yes developing works I I'm in a performance art realm I'm in an experimental film realm I'm um things take time yeah come out right like a project could develop over the course of two to five years or or more or whatnot but I am intentionally circling a lot of different genres because I want us to be witnessed in all kinds of life. Everything that I do

will not be the lovable woman, right? Everything that I do will not be the villain. However, everything in that spectrum, the full range of that, is my interest. I've heard you refer to as a multidisciplinary artist. Yeah. What's that mean? I mean, just

multiple enter between moving between worlds we all do uh sometimes you know folks because of capitalism in a certain kind of way laying you but you can veer off i mean it's just don't hit no other cars in the midst of doing it you know what i mean the film talks or is very loud about uh black women or black mothers fighting for their families protecting their families to the end and i think that's always a conversation with black women about like how protecting and nurturing we can be but what do you want black women to take away from this film about how to protect and take care of themselves in order

to take care of the family. That's so appropriate. Because in one of the scenes her, Galen talks about her deserving reprieve and that kind of joy and release and I mean over the

slate of films that I have done, which is the assumption that, you know, I do things that are trauma-driven or, you know, just black women in complete nerd of turmoil. I think that There's a diversity of things emotionally that are happening, and we deserve to explore the other emotions, just as much. I don't think that it's a take your hands off and completely live in other soft era life.

Sure, one would love that, but I don't think that struggle is ever, there's an end mark to it. You know, just like healing isn't, there's no end. There's no, there's no, this is the death, this is it, you've made it. It's continuous. And so I think it is a continuous effort to diversify the manner in which you distribute labor to encourage others to have a greater independence and autonomy in the way that they move through the world and just and giving that over and still doing our work for ourselves. I was going to ask you, when numbers are concerned, right, everybody looks at box office when it comes to movies.

That doesn't necessarily say how successful a movie is. But for some people it does. How does that affect mind frame when you're doing these type of movies? I'm not in Hollywood. So I'm independent filmmaker. You know what I mean? So that's not what defines it for me.

You know, and money comes and goes. So I think about legacy and I think about telling a story that's going to stay with people. Like I said, I want to make a film that you take home. You walk with it in your head. And to me, that means the most important thing. And if it's there,

and people talk about it you know independent film lifeblood is word of mouth that's how independent film has always been so people start talking about it they spread in it and and other people find it and you know that's a beautiful thing when that happened so I don't mind that you know like

look um you know on other projects it may be the benchmark and that's cool you're doing something with the studio that's cool sure but with this it's just about Does this film resonate and stay with the people and does it spread and make people think? That's the most important thing for me. But you're an independent filmmaker, so you're still going to need funding.

Fair. So how do you, you know, get these people to continue to fund this great work that you're doing if it's not an ROI? Well, I'll say this. Like, I think for this being my first film, the important thing is to let them know that I got a voice and this is what I'm interested in saying. And I think people understand in the movie business, they understand. And, you know, this was independent. This wasn't backed by a studio. Didn't have a promo budget.

You know, normal studio pitchers have a budget equal to their budget to promote the thing. That's right. So people understand that and they go, cool. He's got a voice. Hopefully, God willing, they want to work with me. And then, you know, that other money part, that'll come when the bank comes. You know what I mean? Sholomey.

Do you think great work is sometimes pointed because I even think about like Till, right? Like you talk about, you know, Till got snubbed by. the Oscars, and they talked about, you know, Till might have suffered from wokeness fatigue. And, you know, they were saying it was a box off at this point. They were saying all of these different things in regards to this just great body of work. Do you think that that can play a role into it, too?

Uh-uh. I ain't nobody listening to that. What's the snub? We're having continuous conversation about the work, about the themes, about, you know, you're dealing with it in the, frame right on the computer on in the theater on wherever you're watching and then people are connecting to it outside they just you know august was just here you know i just talked to miss

debor who uh helps with the who runs the um the imitil foundation they're having continuous you know conversation about it this is since 1955 you know and so you know extending what this means to think about survival yeah i don't know when 40 takes place but 40 is in the dystopic future, which feels very like now. And so just the ability to bring this end of the spectrum to this end of the spectrum, that's what's

happening. You know, there's no snubbing. Snubbing isn't possible. If we are creating something and we are creating the conversation around it. I know when the snub happened, I don't want to get her name wrong, but the director of Till. Chinoya. Yeah, Chinoya. She had posted on her

Instagram. It wasn't directly in response, but the timing, people took it as a response where she talked about how Hollywood, you know, treats black women horribly and they push this white male stereotype. Do you feel like that's changing, has changed since the snub, I know you don't care about the snub, but has that changed in the work that you're doing or do you think it will change? I think that we have always been present creating the significant works for ourselves.

The funding may not look the same. The ubiquity of it and the marketing of it may not look the same, but there are plenty of black women and a variety of other people of color joining the fold of making the stuff that we want to see there is no true idea of us like not being able to push you know towards the center we are the center period right and should there be more support yes but you can't you can't hold down what's already, you know. That's real. Moving up.

That's dope. How do y'all see storytelling as a tool for social transportation? I feel like the arts are going to be very important to us moving forward, especially with them just taking history out of everything. Always has been, you know, it's a foundation of, like, as we, as we're talking about, of our history and inspiring the future, you know what I mean? it's it's is vital you know and and for people to see things and reintroduce them to ideas that maybe they don't that's that's the important thing is like as as a younger generation

comes out they don't have to fight the the trials and tribulations they're like my mother had to fight I didn't have to fight some of those things but it's important to make sure that people understand them because if they don't understand it then they coming out with a certain sense of ignorance to the world and may not think that certain things are are present you know um and and racism and discrimination and the isms are there whether you whether you recognize them or not they're there so it's it's i think it's vital for for art to keep speaking from our perspective so that it's like oh no you got to know how to handle these things for future generations it's vital No, it's just a beautiful poetic looping, right?

I remember doing this, it wasn't technically a play. It was like a dance exhibition with, that was called Women Hold Up Half a Sky, right, as a kid with Total Dance Theater. And I learned about four little girls in that piece. And then there was also this poem from Nikki Giovanni in the piece. Capitola Williams delivered that hard. And then that makes me connect to, okay, then I'm doing Till, right? Like these stories, these fragments jump, you know, between us, right? And oh, okay, Nikki Giovanni, she loves Tupac, right?

And so then Tupac raps about this and then this. You are to find the fragment and then expand upon it. I think that it's not just in the art, right? The art that whatever it is that you connected to, whether it's in hip-hop or whether it's in a film, you take whatever is magnifying for you in your mind and then you are to dig deeper you are to read more about it this is the beauty of art art takes a single thing

and it is to make it's supposed to enable you to loop things further into the fold everything is deeply connected if we but seek it out if we but make the effort how do you decide when a story is worth the emotional toll

it takes on creators and the audience because art can be healing but it can also reopen or a wound for me yeah you mean for me yeah we're training I'm gonna

I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna give everything to a thing if I choose to do it and we talk a lot about recovery I mean I think it's something for me now I'm on sabbatical y'all man

was I supposed to be here like it's I'm making conscious choices even more along, you know, just along the trajectory of the career, right? Like trying to make sure that I am well and I'm okay in the midst of the things that I choose to do. That's why I did three comedy-based things

over the course of the last year. But the other things are really valuable because you have to refill the cup or you have nothing to give or it suffers or, you know, whatnot. But I am consciously moving things around to do stuff so that I

can be okay. I also have a child. I also have a family. I need to be with them. I need to this is not just for me. This is for a greater community and knowing how the community responds to that thing. I mean, we constantly referring

back to Teal, but like Chinoa talked about not wanting to traumatize or trigger in the experience of things. There are all kinds of ways to tell the story. And, you know, not take people down into an experience in a certain kind of way. You can tell a story

and with nuance and modification in a certain kind of way, bring them into the fold of the thing. It doesn't have to be utterly drudgery and treacherous the way that it makes yourself or the audience feel. Well, definitely go check out the film 40 acres and we appreciate you guys for joining us. That's all right you so much.

Apple TV Prime. He's on digital Apple and Amazon and everywhere, you know. All right. Well, Danielle Deadweiler, R.T. Thorne, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Breakfast Club, good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Jarlane, the guy. We are the breakfast club. It's a weird building, man. What do you do everybody? When you're walking through your, you know, place of work and you hear somebody at their desk, and they just sitting there.

And when you walk by, they go, uh-uh. Who did that? I don't want to say, but it was a guy. Oh, was he thinking about Drake? Yes, he loves Drake and he loves screaming. That's all I'll say. Okay. Okay.

All right. And I didn't even want to look to see if something was wrong with him because it's one of them noises where you feel like somebody's saying it just to get your attention. And one thing about me, if you sit next to me inside, I ain't fin to ask you what's wrong. Me neither? Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Well, salute to OVO. All right. Well, let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight fat She gets into somebody that knows somebody She gets the details I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything She'd be having the latest on this

The latest with Lauren La Rosa Sometimes you have facts Sometimes you have details Sometimes you have a little bit everything Well it's the latest On the breakfast club Talk to me So there are reports right now

That Britney Spears is living in dog poop So What do you mean? So friends of Britney Spears, yes. So friends of Britney Spears and the sources close have spoken to the Daily Mail. And according to those friends and sources, they're saying that the mansion that Britney Spears has been or lives in where she makes all those videos where she's dancing and twirling and doing all the things is currently covered in dog poop. It's just a complete mess. Now, to give some background context, you guys remember Britney Spears was in that conservatorship and there was a whole free Britney movement.

I was down with the movement. I wanted Brit free until Brit was free. but now what is happening is she has friends and close you know you know people close to her and sources that are coming out and saying that she's basically spiraling and that she's going through allegedly spiraling that she's going through an episode right now and from reports they say this is something that happens with her all the time that they've seen over and over again so there are some people who don't plan to intervene there are other people that are saying that they are terrified for her future and she is not doing well her house is a mess she does not clean up after her dogs she has several dogs she doesn't have someone there cleaning every day and she just isn't functioning like an adult would function at this point. Now, how do you know her staff just didn't get deported? I don't, good question.

It can't be sanitary though. I mean, they got to bring somebody in there to make sure it's not dog poop. If there is dog poop all over the place because the amount of disease that she could have or that could be in and around that place and if her kids come by, they need to make sure that somebody like Sholomey said

comes there and make sure it's clean. What if it's her? Now, if it's her poop, is really a problem. Okay, if it's her poop, you've got to commit her immediately. Even if it's dog poop and she's just letting the dog poop

sit there, you know how dog poop smells and you can live in that all day long? She probably don't know how to clean no more. When you've been that rich, that long, you know what I mean? I'm having used to people waiting on your hand and foot

and then your whole team get deported, your whole staff, get the point of that do that type of stuff? You know how to clean dog poop and that smell has to be horrible. It creates maggots and all that other nasty stuff. And if that is the case, does she need to go back into

a conservators? First of all, We don't even know if any of this is true. That's what I'm asking. I said if it is true. Hold on. So wait, because there was a video that was posted not too long ago, which kind of spark concerns because you guys, if you ever seen any Britney Spears is dancing video, she always shows

where she's at. Like, she doesn't take the phone and show you, but you can see her background. So in the background of one of those dancing videos, it was very cluttered. The caption said she was playing around with lighting and going to go clean up her house right away. But that's what made fans really concerned because of the way that the background, her background. Because it's cluttered? Yeah, God forbid somebody.

doing a little spring cleaning or fall cleaning whatever the hell it is and they got a little clutter You see some of these people's lives When they go on live You see their cluttering? Like what are you talking about cluel?

I don't know if y'all understand how the Britney fans and the free Britney movement went like y'all weren't in the midst of it I was there I know these people are kind of located They were marching in the street to L.A. baby

It was a real thing okay But they're a bit They take it a bit overboard Like there were fans saying that they saw things on the ground that they were saying where the dog poop now that these reports

have allegedly come out but that fans are concerned and now these reports are surfacing but they've been concerned because she's been dancing and twirling and doing all these things

and there's been reports of her going through these episodes over the you know the time since she's you know been released y'all been screaming

this about Brittany for years and she seems to always bounce back or be fine so I don't you know I understand I understand the spirit's team

what's the spirit's our team the spears what are they called it's the free Britney movement I don't know She don't have a team? Like how? Rihanna got the Navy,

Beyonce got the Beehive, what Brittany got? I don't know. I just know. I came around the free Britney movement time. I know they called down that she free.

I understand. They're concerned, but you know, it's just a little dog pooing the mansion, allegedly. But don't she have a boyfriend? And she have a boyfriend

at one time? Somebody has to be coming in and out of that house. Somebody. Yeah, well, so yeah, she was with, she was with Sam Asgari.

They separated that that was like a whole thing and she was, yeah, she's, you know, she's been living her life. God bless Brittany. I don't know.

I can't answer that question of why no one has coming and cleaned but I will say fans were concerned and now these reports coming up. Now,

the team got deported. This is real out here. Move on. Telling me. Moving on. So another report speaking of mansions because this all started

at Kylie Jenner's mansion and now we are here. So Megda Stallion there are reports right now that in the Megda Stallion defamation case against a blogger that Kylie Jenner

and Joe Budden will potentially be called to the stand because they have been listed on a witness list. For what? Well, for Kylie Jenner, people, you know, everything started at her home. So, yes. Yeah, so there's a blogger.

Her name is Milograms and this blogger, I'm sorry, Milagro Milagro actually has been reporting on different things and Magna Sion is alleging that she only reports negative things and there's a whole, it's a whole defamation case that she's working allegedly with Tori Lane's to

disparate her in the media. So basically, the defensive side, so Malargo's side wants to call certain people to the witness list because they're trying to establish their storyline and I'm assuming they're calling Kylie because everything with tour lanes in Magda's Sion started at Kylie's

house, you know, the pool and then the car and all the things. I'm not, with Joe Budden, I believe it's just, you know, probably about like reports and different conversations that he's had on platforms, but yeah, but witness list I will say just because you're listed doesn't mean you have to show up or you do show up. Isn't Aiden Ross on there too?

I see they were trying to serve him. So I did see that Aidan Ross mentioned in the stream that he was trying to be served, or they were trying to serve him allegedly. And this was done through like a band that showed up to a property that he has. But I reached out to confirm that that was actually in relation to this case. And from what I was told, I'm not clear on whether it was in relation, but he did say himself that that was what happened. Yeah.

So we'll, I guess, see what happens here and see who gets some saying. But I know in the beginning of a tour lanes and Megastalian's case, the original case, which Tori is now locked up for, Kylie Jenner was listed on a potential witness list, and that didn't happen. They didn't let her come into court. All right. What else you got, man?

What about Kai? I see Kai's not doing big things on the stream. Yeah, so we do have Kai, so. This is what, day six, day seven or something like that, day eight? Let me tell you something. At this point, Kai's tonight's stream is like, it's like the new variety show. Everybody's there, everybody's pulling up.

So over the last couple days, Kai Sinai has had a few, different guests on his stream. But recently he had Kiki Palmer, but they thought she was Mary J. Blige. Let's take a listen. Make something happen. Okay, say last.

You need a song, um, Real love. I'm talking for some real love. Someone that said my heart free, real love. Hey. Oh, I'm searching for a real love. Jesus. You know, it's me, Mary Jane.

It's me, Mary Jane. Dang. My mom just text me and said. That's my type of carrying on right there. Kiki just fell right into it. Kiki just fell right into it. She ain't tried to correct the young men. She just is like, nope, that's me.

You see somebody mom texting me like, that's not marriage. Blah's young. Yeah, but it made me, I don't know why that made me feel old because he thought that. You all old to them people. Rekkeye didn't know who Kiki Palmer was. Rekai is the younger, like one of the younger streamers that hangs with Kaisenet. Yeah.

And you old compared to them. You like, you're 13 years older than them. Yes, you old compared to them. and I'm sure he meant no disrespect he really thought that was married you are a DSU alumni there's young alumni too yeah but you ain't one of them

dang okay oh you 34 36 huh you 34 36 I'm 33 what is happening right now how do we get it? Okay I'm a year off all right and so you're 13 years old and I am young alumni don't do that you are not young alumni

I don't say nothing about you I being 52 and and 51 and all those. I am happy to be this age, okay? But you are not young alumni, and I'm not 52 yet. I'm 47, okay? You'll know when I'm 50. Trust me.

Trust me. Yeah, you'll know when I'm there too. Because I'm pulling straight Denzel. You don't tell your age, and you don't tell you true hair color. Damn. Wow. Drop on the food's one for Lauren. That's what I'm talking about, Lauren.

All out the Dominican for the lining. Oh, right. Because when I say it, I just sound like I'm hating. You are. And they'd be coming in here with that thing drawn on. Excuse me. What did you say? I said you're hating because you can't find your lining.

Four after the hour. We need a junior senator named Eric Schmidt to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Wake up.

Wake up. You're like to enter the breakfast club. With a donkey. It's time the donkey of the day. A bunch of donkeys around here. With the he-hop. Yes. You are a donkey.

What the hell? What the hell is? What a hell he'll eat? What a donkey? Some donkey today's just saw themselves. Charlamagne, give it to him. Breakfast club one day. Give it to him.

Oh, man. Shalameane, who we giving a donkey to do tonight? Well, Rob 4-9, Donkey Today for Tuesday, September 9th, goes to Missouri Senator Jr., no, Missouri Jr. Senator Eric Smitsch. Okay, now, Eric was speaking at the fifth annual National Conservatism Conference in Washington, and he posed the question.

The question is, what is in America? would you like to hear some of his answer let's listen the continental army soldiers dying of frostbite at valley forge the pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of plymouth the pioneers striking out from missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier the outnumbered kentucky settlers repelling wave after wave of indian war band attacks from beyond the stockade walls all of them would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a proposition They believed they were fighting for a nation, a homeland for themselves and their descendants. They fought. They bled. They struggled. They died for us. They built this country for us. America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations. It belongs to us. It's our birthright. It's our heritage, our destiny. If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing in no one at all. When they tear down our statues and monuments, mock our history, and insult our traditions,

they're attacking our future as well as our past. By changing the stories we tell about ourselves, they believe they can build a new America, with the new myths, new people. But America doesn't belong to them. It belongs to us. It's our home. It's a heritage entrusted to us by our ancestors. It's a way of life that is ours, and only ours.

If we disappear, then America, too, will cease to exist. There's a lot there. Let's unpack. Let's discuss. If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing at all. If you listen to what I just played, Senator Schmidt kept saying, America doesn't belong to him. It belongs to us.

He said America is a nation and a people with its own distinct history and heritage and interests. Listen, man, there are some white people. I said some white people in this country who believe in white replacement theory. Okay. I don't have time to tell you what white replacement theory is, but it's the claim that white populations are deliberately being replaced by non-white people. Not to mention the census project back in 2018 projected that white people will become the minority by 2045.

Ever since that came out. Okay, the plan has been in motion by some white people to ensure that don't happen. You know I love putting on my tin foil, Pushistee, man. Okay, I love a good conspiracy theory. But when that census project came out and prior to that, getting eight years of a black president, then they turned around and almost elected a woman. Some white males said, no way, Jose.

Literally, no Jose, no Julio, no Juan, no Jamal, okay? No, Tyrone. No, come on now. Now, I see the headline. I see the headline going around on Instagram. It says Eric Schmidt says America is for white people only. Now, everybody is going to run with that headline, and then Eric is going to go on Fox News and say the radical left is losing their woke minds. I never said that, and he's right.

He didn't, but here's the thing. He never said who us is. And that's the game, okay? When a politician leaves us undefined, it's because they know exactly who they're talking to. And the people he's talking to, they know that messages for them as well. And spoiler alert, if you're black, brown, legal immigrant, LGBT envy, Jewish, Muslim, chances are you not in that either. Okay, you're not in that us, all right?

That's all Eric Schmidt just gave. Okay, he gave us a they not like us with absolutely zero seasoning. Okay, what happened to America being conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal? Okay, what happened to America being inclusive? I mean, it never really was, but damn it, at least we was fake trying. Okay? Now you got people like Eric Schmidt saying straight up, this country is for us. And he's saying it over and over and over again.

That's not inclusive. That's exclusive. And when you're speaking at a national conservatism conference, forgive us if we think us start sounding like shorthand for white males only. Okay, by the way, no matter how much you attempt to clarify this, it's going to sound like racially coded rhetoric straight out that we want segregation again starter pack okay the us you talking about aren't the ones who make the best tacos on tuesday and jerk chicken on saturday okay he's talking about the us that seasons food with a pinch of salt

and a pinch of prayer okay if america is everything and everyone is nothing at all that's what he said didn't he say that can i hear that part again they believe they can build a new america with the new myths new people but america doesn't belong to them it belongs to us it's our home it's a heritage entrusted to us by our ancestors it's a way of life that is ours and only ours if we disappear then America too will cease to exist is that we have the other part

well he had the line he said the line if America is everything and everyone it's nothing at all Eric if America is not everything and everyone then it's nothing at all okay when will we realize that we are the good the bad and the ugly, okay, all wrapped in the one.

That's what makes this country great. Okay, the hope for America is actually in our history, which is why I don't know why we keep trying to hide it. Okay, let's look at it, deal with it, and move forward. Okay, you can't hear what you don't reveal. The melting pot that is America is what makes this country incredible. Okay, the great American melting pot filled with a little bit of everything is what makes this country amazing and Eric please don't gas like folks and backtrack on what you said and tell us that

you know we saw you say something that you didn't say because when somebody keeps saying America is for us but never tells you who us is trust me you already know who they're talking about okay if it don't sound like it includes you then it probably doesn't and that's why we got to call this language what it is coded racism wrapped up in patriotism okay America ain't supposed to be about us versus them it's supposed to be about we the people but some folks like eric don't want we they just want us and anyone who doesn't want us together well they don't believe in america anyway at all please give junior senator from eric smith no what do i keep saying that for please give the junior senator eric smit the biggest he-hawn all right

is for us. Well, thank you for that donkey today. But never tell us who the us is. But you know who they're talking about. Yeah, of course. Yeah, if it don't sound like it includes you, then they probably don't. That's all I'm saying.

No. That's all I'm saying. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, let's open up the phone lines, 800-585-105-105-1. We were having this convoy yesterday during the latest with Lauren. We were talking about Carmelo, his Hall of Fame speech.

It was an incredible speech. Drop on the clues, bonds for Carmelo, Anthony. Amazing speech. One of my favorite Knicks ever. What? Why would you call him that? What? Oh, you said Nick.

My bad. What you thought? I tell you. It was like, why would you just say that after what I just said? After what I just did, Game, Don't give a day. Why would you just say my favorite nigga ever? That's a Knicks. I know.

I heard you wrong. I'm sorry. New York Knicks. Yes, I understand. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? So what is the question?

We were talking about it and a question that everybody asked and we've seen online and Charlemagne even asked yesterday was he did not shout out La. Oh yeah, I asked why he didn't shout out Lala. I thought he did. I just, I swear, I'm like, there's no way. He mentioned single mothers

and the women in his life. Like, there's no way. But he didn't. So what is the question? 800-585-105-1. I've seen it trending yesterday. Is this Lauren being messy? Yes, Lauren being messy.

And the question is, well, Lauren. I'm just, for me, I just felt like at least a thank you or like a, you know, because I think, You know, she played a big role and holding it down so he could have the right mindset to go and do a lot of the things he did. I think that's that conversation happens a lot with women being overlooked in those instances. So even if it wasn't Lala, I would be saying it's. I'm not being messy. I'm being a woman and being honest.

So you're saying he shouted out his coaches. He shouted out his people's. He shouted out his moms. He shouted out his pops. He shouted everybody around him, but you're asking how come he didn't shout out his wife, his ex-wife? His ex-wife? I'm asking, you know, am I tripping? Did Lala deserve a thank you?

or something and acknowledgment of some sort in that Hall of Fame speech because of the role she played in his life and career. Okay. 800585-105.1. Let's discuss.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess O'Larry. Sholomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

What's your alma mater, uh, Charlemagne, you got one? What does that mean? Wait a minute. I have an honorary degree from South Carolina State University. Baby, don't talk to you about honor unless you can walk campus for four years, completed credits, did classes, took tests. I don't want to hear nothing about that. So leave me a lot.

I was over here prepping for my segment because Delaware State University has taught me to be well prepared as I put my mark on the world Do you have something to say? I gave you a job A couple of them Wow

Yeah, I know Yeah We appreciate the honoraries Yes, I'm sure We did the answer I'm ready to Yes, you were right Okay, sorry sorry

Why did we give her job? I don't know No, listen I was calling over to Jamaica Okay What? Come on. Reset. Let's go. All right. Go, Laura, go. So I did call over to Jamaica. There's a story that's going viral right now. St. Andrews High School for Girls over in Jamaica is a school that has posted online that the girls coming into their school are not allowed to wear their edges laid. So the post says, reminder students, please be advised that the wearing of edges is now officially banned on campus.

remember curtains belong in the house not on foreheads with the sweating emoji Now what's the signs behind this Lord Like what is the reason why Like I like what's the reason Does it block your knowledge Is it come in?

The curtains blocks your brain Like what's the problem Well they say that they want to keep their They want their girls to keep their looks neat And school ready Now when I call it over Not yours, other people's I know you're not talking my mind

maybe they felt like the girls were overdoing it a bit. I don't know, but when I came over, they told me I had to talk to the principal, but the principal was preparing for a presentation right now and wouldn't get on the phone with me. The only thing I did find out was... I can't believe you even called Jamaica this time in the morning, but go ahead.

It's school. It's the morning. They're starting school. But now when you put it like that, I guess they want everything to be uniform, just like in some schools, boys can't have facial hair. They can't have mustache.

They can't have any type of facial hair. It's not allowed. I guess it's kind of like that. In high school? I don't blame you that. In high school? I don't know how you got all that phage you have for in high school. In the high school, you're not allowed to have a mustache in some schools.

And that's St. Andrew's High, right? Is that the name of the high school? Yes, it is called, yeah, it's St. Andrew's High School for girls. That is the name of the school. Salute to Nicole. Salute to Nicole White. It's a good friend of all. She's, that's her alma mater.

Okay. I just found that. Because I saw a comment she left in Shade room. No. They, what they told me, though, was that because I asked, well, what happens if the girls lay their edges and come to school, despite your posting, they said that detention is the result. the result that's messed up now I do think some people take too much time creating edges like some of you all so busy detangling that last strand of baby head with a fine tooth comb looking like an old ball white man you know with a comb over scratching that last

strand like Reed riches and make it seem like you got more edges than you got that that could be a distraction yeah but I guess I guess it's a private school type of thing and there's certain they want everything to be uniform like I said I remember when Logan played football in high school they could not have a mustache or facial hair you had to shave it off and I know sometimes I know what that ain't edges though edges is a part of your hair like what is the girl woman supposed to do if she ain't what is it not if you ain't got no edges like

slick back I guess like that's Lauren what do you do with no edges Lauren now hold on you can slip them slick them back like you don't have to slick down you can slick them back it's up to you but I just I don't know I never understand stuff like this because I feel like I mean that should be your personal choice of how you want to wear your hair like I don't

understand how it interrupts the learning process but maybe there's something more that goes into it too because some schools do uniforms because they want to stop one student from, you know, maybe there's like a bullying thing happening or we don't know. I did try to get the answer to that, but they're preparing for a presentation. So shout out to their school and getting their students ready.

They said back to school was happening. They got other things to focus on. Lauren just brought up a good point because what is, what about the bullying? Because, you know, I don't know if that happens in high school, but there are a lot of women who don't have edges simply because they can't grow in it. Like they have receding headlines.

You mean people bullying on you because you couldn't grow here. That is not what I meant. what did you talk about what you mean when you say bullying I meant because like different girls laid their edges different ways and sometimes the edges can be a little overdone where like you're like now you're stupid sometimes it looks stupid a lot yes like you laying it the wrong way that's what I was maybe thinking but again I'm speculating here because I didn't get the answer to the question well I was thinking about the people who you know the young ladies who don't have no edges like their forehead is a full court with no out of balance lines like that's who I'm thinking about in this moment yeah sometimes it looks stupid like sometimes when the edges come down to your cheek and all that. It just looks crazy. Yeah, man. But then I can see when you ain't got no edges and you get bullied for it, you know what I'm saying?

Like some, you're calling yourself a queen, but your crown keeps slipping because they ain't got no grip. You're stupid. But is it more understandable? Let me ask you, Lauren, since you are, women, is it more understandable if they're trying to keep things uniform? Right? Like I said, like, you know, even with skirt size.

They say skirt size have to be this size. Sox have to be to this length. Like, there's certain things. Who's trying to be laughing at? Why are you worried about when I'm laughing? Why you won't never let Unk enjoy yourself? Because ain't nothing in Envy's question funny. Just answer. Don't listen to him. Go ahead.

I don't think there's anything with you trying to keep these uniform, but I'm always going to ask questions when anybody is trying to police a way, a physical appearance of a person, especially in her hair. Like, I just, personally, my first question, why would do the edges do? Like, what does that? You know, my niece loves the lay edges. I'll be telling her she kind of got to relax a little bit. But, you know, that's the thing that the girls are doing.

So, but people are saying that if you're not from Jamaica, you wouldn't understand because their schools are very traditional and they have a lot of different rules. So, you know, but I wonder how that is because, you know, sometimes, you know, in certain schools, you weren't allowed to have dreads. You remember that that then dreads were banned and you couldn't have dreads and they changed that a couple of years ago. I just feel like you're putting too much pressure on these young ladies to have to care about something else that, you know, you really shouldn't have to think about. Right. Other than once you do your hair coming to school, like, is your hair stopping you from learning? is it distracting other kids like who cares whether you have edges

or don't have edges okay all right I just know we couldn't do that up there huh? Evie, hold on what would you do if they started being in color spray at eye heart? Wow, damn Lauren's shooting this one drop on the cruise mom from Lauren the rose again

I'm not Goli and did it do look stupid I mean you know it's been looking stupid all week Charlemagne listen your barber pulls up on campus a lot if your barber couldn't pull up and save the eraser of that Well, see, the difference is I don't try to say I like having a baldy.

Envy just be. I got here. No, you don't. You got a line that you somebody drew on. I got a head. Was it for excellence? Because this school is making sure that this is their, you know, level of excellence that they want for their young women.

Was your baldy by choice or that was your choice of excellence? I don't have no edges. So I decided to go bald. All right, guys. Envy. Envy ain't got no edges, but he decided to let somebody draw a line on. I do have my edge. The etches sketching line on his forehead.

my edges. But thank you very much. That is the latest wit, Lauren. You know we can see you, right? I can see that too. I can see that too. It's like we see him. Look, look, look. But anyway, we got the people's choice mix up next. Lauren is broadcasting from 14th grade Delaware State University. Wow. That is disrespectful. Now you got beat with a whole HBCU. Yeah, he's

checking out the breakfast club. Morning everybody is DJ NV. Jess Hilarious. Sholomaine de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now Lauren La Rosa, she's out at Delaware State University, her alma mater. Yes, I am here. Yes, so shout out to Delaware State University. I'll be speaking at the convocation today, welcoming in the new student body.

And I'm here at the Mass.com department at the DESU radio station, which is crazy because I don't remember the last time I was here, but it did not look like this. So they begin changing things, and, you know, Ms. Ava Perrine is in here with me. She was the first class I ever had in college. And then one of the engineers for the radio station is in here with me as well, too. he wanted to say hello. So let me ask you a question. You say you don't know the last time

you've been there, Lauren. Why haven't you been there? I haven't been in the radio station. I've been on campus. I was just here not too long ago. I come back here all the time. But I haven't been in the radio station in a while. Yeah.

Okay. What they're going to do about that towel, man? Y'all need some better signage. Can we speak to them? Yeah, you said you was going to, you said you was going to come over here too so they can see? Yeah, I can.

Okay, come over here. You said y'all was going to donate. Y'all banned the job. I can't do nothing for DSU radio before I do it from South Carolina State. Look at your step and repeat. We got you. You have money. You got an endowment fund at South Carolina State, right? That's right.
