You know what I mean? It's almost summer. It felt like summer. It was like it was 89 degrees today, yesterday in Baltimore City. and we celebrated my son's birthday and he had a good dinner at Outback Steakhouse with his friends You met the girls' parents?

No. Then they come? Not she ended up not coming but they're going to do something this weekend so that's cool. Just them too. But I felt like it would have been awkward anyway because that was the only girl

like their age that was coming. And it was just like the rest of his friends. Of course it was me, his dad, my husband, my parents, you know and Naya, all of them. So it was a family dinner but it's dope. Happy birthday as.

He's really growing up. Seeing him around his friends now at 14. He acts so much older. Like, then he's doing a house. He childish at home. But, like, he's like... Mature.

What he's friends? Yeah. Like, oh, yeah, no, I don't do that. You know, I want Shirley Temple. I want to, you know what I'm saying? I want to crock mocktail or something like that they had a mocktail menu for them. And he's the only one of his friends that got one. Everybody else got strawberry lemonade. Okay.

And it's like, man, I'm grown, man. Mature. Give me, pinky up when he drinks. That already mad at him. But it was cool, though. I was telling Charlemaine behind the scenes yesterday. It was beautiful. in the city so we were riding around with my 11 year old and I was like yo what you want to

listen to you plug in your your phone I was like I'm I'm expecting to hear little oozy bird this is how we rock that boy put on Tupac do for love this how we I'm like what was that's a DJ then he put in ice cube you know how we do it now he learned that for me this was TikTok then he put in Kanye West hole down I'm like you're 11 I'm waiting for that this is how you rock right right right now he wrote out I wasn't mad at him just let you know let you know some things are timeless, man. Good things of times. Absolutely. And his daddy ain't teaching them. Nothing about real hip-hop. That's the damn shit.

I'd be rocking on. Be in the house. And when he started playing, then he played a notorious B-I-G. Wow. What's the joint? What's the joint? What's the joint? What's the joint? What's the joint? I wanted you to play this morning. Sky's the limit? Wow. That's my favorite. I said, wow. I said, wow.

You think it's confusing for him, though, because, you know, in the streets, you act black, but then at home you're Dominican, so you're playing, like, you know, Swabamentet. A lot of my kids like Biggie, though. You don't think that's a little confusing for him? I'm glad that he's finding, you know, the cubes and the box. I am black and I don't have any, I don't play the music. But it's a shame that he's learning that from Black TikTok. And I think Swive Mithis, Puerto Rico.

Black TikTok is teaching them all around with a classic tibops. I hate this guy. Let's get the show cracking. Emma Greedy will be joining us this morning. That's right. Just a new book. Start with yourself. Yes, that's right. Emma Greedy is one of the co-founders of Skims. I got on Skims right now.

No. And also, United States representative from Minnesota's fifth congressional district will be joining us. How do you pronounce an name? Ilhan. Ilhan Omar. Yeah, she'll be joining us as well. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking.

We got front page news. Mimi's here. So don't go anywhere. Can we start the show with Sky's Limit? You already told us you work. I just want to make sure. Just wanted to make sure. It's the breakfast club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NVJ. Jacellari. This is Sholomane the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now some quick sports. NBA playing games was last night.

The Horninter defeated the heat, sent the heat home. They won that game in overtime, 127, 126. Everybody was saying how great a game that was. I didn't watch it. I just know that my group chats was going crazy. Are you watching this game? Like, no, I'm in the bed. Yeah, I didn't watch the game. Everybody was saying it was an amazing game. And also last night, the Trailblazers beat the Sun, sent the Sun's home. They won 114 to 110.

What's up, Mimi? Good morning. How you doing, Sholomey? Jess, Envy? Good morning. Good morning. All right, so we start this morning with new development involving former Congressman Eric Swalwell, who was now under criminal investigation in Los Angeles.

The prosecutors say their sex crimes division is working with law enforcement after a woman came forward, accusing him of sexual assault. Lana Drews, a Beverly Hills business owner, says she met Swalwell in 2018 and that he offered to help her with some political and professional, with some political and professional. connections and she claims after just one week one drink she suddenly became incapacitated and believes that her drink was drugged uh she alleges then he took her to a hotel room and sexually assaulted her let's listen on the third occasion i believe he drugged my drink i only had one glass of wine i arrived at his hotel room i was already incapacitated and i couldn't move

my arms or my body. He raped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness. And I thought I died. Well, she has now reported those allegations to law enforcement. And investigators say the case is active, but still in the very early stages. Now, Swalwell, he is denying all of this. His attorney is calling the claims false, fabricated, and deeply offensive and says that they plan to fight back in court.

Now the political fallout, though, that continues to continue to grow. Swalwell, he's already stepped down from Congress after multiple women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual assault. Senator Rubin Gallagher, he's one of Swalwell's closest friends. He held a press conference yesterday to distance himself from the congressman, former congressman. saying that he had no idea about the alleged behavior. Let's listen to that. Should you have acted when you first heard these rumors several years ago? The rumors are heard were that he was just a flirty social guy.

That's it. When he was married and when we were together as families, working together, I fell on the fallback that this is not the man that I'm hearing about. this is not that you know when you when you're out with a man when he is you know taking his kids to baseball games when you see them together you know you start creating it in your head like that's not the person you're and and i was lied to and you know it clouded my judgment our friendship clouded our judgment every time we went out to dinner every time our families were together you know we you know we would literally pick our kids up from schools from practice together

like this is not something that it just happens overnight That's not your audio, ladies and gentlemen The audio only came out on one side So if your car is only a mono And you didn't hear anything for that 60 seconds It only came out on one side of the speaker Sorry for that, go ahead, Mimi I heard it

On both sides? Yeah Something okay to me No, it only came out on my own Yeah, it was chopy to me too You know No, I only came out on the right side Might have a little stroke this morning

Not I only came out on the right side But I tell you though In the case of Eric Swabo This is what's supposed to happen, right? But I just wish it was more consistency In regards to the law What you mean? Because when you have

have someone like President Donald Trump sitting in the highest office in the land who's been found liable of sexual abuse in a court of law, you would think nothing is disqualifying if he can still sit there and be president. Right. You know, nobody in politics should be above the law, including the president.

Yeah. I agree. Well, meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom, he has set a special election for August 18th to feel Swalwell's vacant seat in Congress. And of course, we talked about him stepping down from the California governor's race due to all of these allegations. And really quickly, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, she was a no show yesterday on Capitol Hill, skipping a scheduled deposition tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

And she had been subpoenaed to testify before the House Oversight Committee about how the Justice Department handled those files. They said that the subpoena, the Justice Department, they said that subpoena no longer counts because she's out of office. But lawmakers say that's not how it works and she is still legally required to appear. and now members of the committee, their warning, if she continues to ignore that subpoena, she could be held in contempt. Here's Congressman Rokana with that. Obviously, very disappointing that Pam Bondi didn't come today, and we're going to be working to make sure in a bipartisan way that her deposition gets rescheduled, or she will be held

in contempt, and we have the votes to do that. Well, contempt is a criminal charge. that can carry up to a year in jail as well as fines. And meanwhile, Republicans, they are pushing back, calling the situation a scheduling issue and suggesting that she could just easily reschedule. You see what I'm saying, though? The rule of law clearly does not work for everybody in politics.

Eric Swarwell, an example of consequences and repercussions. Pam Bondi, kicks my ass, y'all ain't going to do nothing. I show up when I want to. Crazy. Yep. All right, well, coming up at 7, a new study says people are tipping less. We'll tell you why many people are dialing it back and what it could mean for workers. All right.

Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-105. 1. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-105-1. Get it off your chest. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Wake up.

Jess. Oh, my God, because it was still like 30 minutes away from my church. I didn't realize that. Like, because my church is in, my God, I forget that county of Jersey, but it literally sits on the line, Jersey and Philly. And so my husband ain't feel like driving all the way there. And to be smart, he was like, no, we're going to go right here to this diner, like a clown. And he was driving because I don't drive. Let me find out of y'all with the Cracker Barrel.

Cracker Barrel fire. I can't stand Cracker Barrier. I love Cracker Barrier. But the diner, no. I didn't say it's a baby. Why? Because of the name Pracker? My granddaddy.

No, my granddaddy used to love it. get his hair and slaves over there, humming while every time you're eating in there. And what's wrong with that? You think slaves did not make fire food? And don't call them slaves. They're enslaved people, but not like Cracker Barre. I'm not running to go eat Cracker Brow.

I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. That source is close. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that. Where's you going? The latest with Lauren knows.

Take me through down. On the breakfast club. L.L. Cool, baby. Talk to me. All right, guys. So Dave Chappelle is doing a bunch of press right now. He is doing it from Yellow Springs, Ohio, which is where we know that he lives, because he just was a part of restoring a schoolhouse in order to save a public radio station,

an NPR radio station. That has been very near and dear to the area that he grew up listening to. So he's having these conversations. Now, we're going to get into two interviews. The first interview, though, that was. We are going to talk about Dave Chappelle was speaking with journalist Jonathan Landrum, Jr. from the Associated Press. And he drops a major bomb to all Chappelle Show fans. Let's take a listen.

Chappelle Show, I know, just for you personally, a lot of my friends and everything, we saved those DVDs and watch those episodes. And over and over, and over. It is a classic those episodes. Is that something that you think that you would ever, ever, ever revisit or you move past that? Man, if you had asked me that question a year ago, I'd have told you absolutely not. But in the last few weeks, you know, it's come up a lot. And I'm considering it. That'd be dope.

Yeah, he's considering it. Yes. I think the conversation about, you know, him considering it is a big one because, you know, I think that that gives some people hope. Now, I will say that that full video interview is not out, so that is the only audio that we had. But there is a written part to that interview. But he doesn't expound much on that. part at all. So it's walking like he's on

a move with his interviews. Yes. So well no. In the well yeah so in this Associated Press interview yes they're walking through down this road in Yellow Springs but as we switch over to the other interview that he did with NPR he's sitting down in the actual schoolhouse that he renovated

and this is also going to now be the location where his company headquarters will be for Pilot Boy Productions which is what he does all of his business under. So in this interview he mentions the Chappelle show a bit as well, but they get into a wide ranging conversation. Now,

one of the things that I thought was interesting is you know, Dave Chappelle is such a big name, such a big force, right? And he's out there letting people know that this radio station is coming back because of some of the work that he's doing. And the journalist asks him about you know how he's basically going to be in public broadcasting

but also keep it ethical because he'll have to report on him. Let's take a listen to Dave Chappelle talking to NPR on public broadcasting. One of the only reason that I'm doing press around it is because I think the Ethica community needs to be amplified. And I think that the importance of public broadcasting needs to be amplified. Other than that, I like talking shit.

I'm a filthy nightclub comics since I'm a kid at my court. I don't want to say anything that gets them in trouble. I don't want their brand and necessarily be affiliated with me. I don't believe everything they say. They don't believe everything I say, but I like that NPR exists. I've heard them say things or criticisms of my way. work on the station or on NPR, that's part of my job. But the relationship that this place has with our community pre-exist my career.

You know what I mean? I'm not, I can't really take that personally. But the more separate we are, I think the more comfortable we feel. But at the same time, you know, it's familial. I just love the fact that Dave Chappelle has the capital to be able to restore that radio station. Yes. You know what I mean? Yes.

And he's talking a lot about how, you know, things like media, radio, how, important it actually is to comedy and journalism, how journalism and comedy go hand in hand, because, you know, the journalists cover the things that he does and the things that he does give journalists the topics, right? So they get into some of the stuff. So he addresses, you know, the fact that he went over to Saudi Arabia to do a comedy show. Let's take a listen. I know we were talking about the Comedy Festival in 2025. You did get a lot of fall. You did get a lot of, I don't know what you'll pushback. You had no qualms? I'm going to say that. They asked me to go years before that. And I said no. Since that time, the United States government. does business with the Saudis. Netflix, does business with Saudis.

Everyone lives. Saudis financed tons of movies. And none of these things were an issue until I went there. As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty. Well, okay, I'll go home and spend the money with actual slave owners on it.

If you want to be that pure about money, then stop driving your car, stop eating, don't use your cell phone. Everything is tethered to something that's just terrible. and I can make a million excuses or reasons to deprive that crowd of that show but man when I was standing in front of him I feel like I did the right thing

he's right he's absolutely positive he doesn't even have to explain Dave Chappelle is earned the right to do whatever he wants to do and he's one of those people that I'm personally always checking for because he always has something meaningful to say yes and they talk a lot about that as well too and he because in both interviews they're asking him

both NPR and Associated Press are you controversial on purpose and he's like like, no, I'm saying what, not what I think needs to be said, but he talks about having meaningful conversation. So they get into the trans conversation because of that, in the conversation around him. Let's take a listen to Dave Chappelle with NPR on the trans backlash. You are not a trans person. There are people who feel like it's different when you are part of the group that has been attacked. What do you say to people who feel that in some occasions you're punching down? Okay, this is a conversation that, you know.

You're bored by? There's a tough one for me because so much of that was a media phenomenon. What was happening in actual life versus how the media was reporting on my show. And I feel like the way they were put on that show was rage baiting to some degree. And there's so many different branches to talk about it. But I would say that, you know, not everything is for everybody. If they bought tickets ever, maybe I'd listen. I don't know.

They just never there. I don't even know who's telling them I say these things. They almost reported on it as if I was doing something other than a comedy show. Listen, Dave expresses his freedom of speech and people have the freedom to critique said speech. That's it. That question is funny, though. You're not a trans person? Well, she was talking about the fact that some people feel like he's punching down because he jokes about communities that they feel like he's not in.

That's what the question was leading up to that. That's why she said that. Dave can identify as whatever he wants to identify. And now he's identifying as a major force of media. Anyway, do we want the Chappelle show back? What do you think? Absolutely. What do you mean?

I think so. Hell yeah. I think he, I wouldn't see him in it. I don't see him doing it. I think he's going to be writing. He'll be doing skis to him directing. He'll be doing skis too. He'll be doing skis.

He was one of the best character, actors. Why wouldn't we want Dave in it? No, I'm not saying we don't want David. I'm just saying he might be playing the backfield this time. He might be writing for it. Of course, we want Dave in it. But I'm just saying. I want it either way, whether he's in it, whether he's not.

Because when he was on Saturday and at live. if he did skits. I think he'll do skis. But I think it would be great. Just imagine, like, some of the stuff that Drusky does written into Gabe Chappelle style.

He gave Drusky props in one of the interviews, too. Drusky is a great character actor, but there's no writing to it. Correct. There's no, there's no, there's no story. That's right. I mean, there's a story that you see, but imagine the story that you could hear.

And listen, I think we need more satire. We need more people holding the mirror up to the society we live in and showing us how ridiculous we are. I think so, too. And in the interview he did with NPR, Dave Chappelle, we don't have time to play the last one, but he talks about feeling like his responsibility is bigger than him or has to be bigger now because of where he is in his career.

And he says that he realized when he took that break after he left the Chappelle show, the last time he did, that he realized like, no, he just needs to do what he does and create. So I think he's in a great space, too, to bring back a show like the Shepel show. And I'm proud of him for buying the whole town that he's living because if you watch the last special,

we talk about how he basically owned the whole town. so I'm not surprised that he renovating the school and he's also buying the radio station to bring it back so proud of that. We need more side time, man. Like to me, and live in color, the Boondock Chappelle Show, they did the best job of just holding up

a mirror to us as a society and showing us how ridiculous we are. Also, the magic of the Chappelle show wasn't just Dave. No. Is Guy, everybody? Is Neil Brennan going to be involved? Because that was a big huge part of it.

Yeah. Right. Donnell. I know. You know? Like all of them was in there with them pensions and ideas as well too. So I just want to know is it going to be Charlie Murphy's no longer here so I want to know what that team is going to look like.

I'm sure there'll still be stories but if you get some of the new characters like we've been talking and you got Dave Chappelle and Neil writing I think it'll be amazing. I was thinking who would be the new faces that he would bring into the Chappelle show like of all the new comedians that have come up like who he's going to bring on that we'll be to see. I mean Drewski for sure. Yeah he shot a Drewski out in one of the interviews

but I thought about that as well too like who would be the new freshman class of the Chappelle show. All right. Well, that is the latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Mimi's here, so don't go anywhere.

And then Emma Greedy will be joining us. Her new book, Start with yourself. It's out right now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody is DJ NVJ. Just hilarious. Salameenegu, we are the breakfast club.

You have to think about how much clothes that he had at Kalani house. It couldn't have been a lot, right? That he's folding? Yeah, for the fact that she could just fold him and say, come pick him up. He ain't have a lot of stuff over there. No, let me tell you something. If you really want a nigga out of your house, I don't care if he got a whole walk-in closet.

You're going to fold. You're going to become foreign from the Jeffisans. You're going to fold all of it up and say, it's come get it. Damn. Yeah. Well, most people, would y'all fold or did you just throw it in a garbage bag? I figured folding is like it. Well, she's generous.

She's generous. Okay. She's still like them. All right. Well, let's get some front page news. Start off for some quick sports. Last night, NBA play in games. The Horners beat the heat.

127, 127, 127. The heat home in overtime. Trailblazers beat the suns 114 to 110. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NBA. Judge Charlene Mayne. Hi. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. Okay, so we start this hour with new information in the death of influencer Ashley Robinson. Authorities in Zanzibar say her fiance, Joseph McCann, is still in the country and his passport has been confiscated as the investigation continues. Now Robinson, she's known online as Ashley Jeannay. She was 31 years old. Officials say she died at the resort there in Tanzania, and they are calling it a suicide.

but her family says that they don't believe that, and they are still demanding answers. Now, please say Robinson was traveling with her fiancé, and the two had what's being described as a domestic dispute at the hotel. And so we talked about this a little bit yesterday, but this morning we have a few more details about that domestic dispute. So staff, they separated them, placing them in different villas, which they say was about an eight to ten minute walk apart. And so just hours later, around 2 a.m., Robinson, Robinson, she was found in her room, unresponsive authorities say that she was discovered by her fiance and a hotel staff member, raising concerns about what led them to check on her in the middle of the night in the first place, right? And her parents, they are now calling on the resort to release any security footage they may have.

Let's listen to her father. If there's security footage, that will tell the story. So we just want to know if there's any security footage. If there's anything just to say that what he's saying is true. Sounds to me like Joe McCann is going to end up in handcuffs. Yeah, I mean, that security footage would show if he went to that villa beforehand and think about it. Like, we've all, you know, gotten into our argument with our spouse, right? But how bad was that argument that they split them up and put them in another villa?

Yeah. That is crazy. Like, that means something happened besides that. And like you said, if that's that security camera, which they should have, they should have that footage, should be able to tell a story. This tells me, the clues I've heard the last all week tell me everything I need to know. Exactly. Well, I did reach out. I just still think it's crazy that they ruled her death, promise, I mean, suicide.

so quickly with all of these details y'all had to put them in separate rooms people were complaining about the noise like you're worried about her safety y'all were worried about her safety and she just kills herself yeah i mean i i reached out to the hotel to get some more information they did send me back a statement and they just said that the management at zuri zanzibar

they are deeply saddened by the tragic incident involving one of our guests and our sincerest thoughts and sympathies go out to the family and the loved ones We are providing our full cooperation with local authorities and the U.S. Embassy and to respect the privacy of those involved and to ensure the integrity of the official investigation we cannot offer any further comment at this stage. And we got to keep talking about it. We got to keep the pressure on. It would be like, what's the lady who's lost a mom that we still never found her mom? And it just went right out the window. We don't even talk about it anymore.

And we don't know what happened with that situation. So we got to make sure that remains in the news. Absolutely. And so the family, they are, they've started a GoFundMe page. They're trying to raise money to get down there to, you know, to see what's going on with their own eyes. And the, the fiancé is still being questioned. No charges have been filed in the investigation remains active. You said he's in this country?

No, he's still there. Yeah, they got his passport. He can't leave. He can't leave. And he's somebody, right? Like, isn't he like the CEO? Got a lot of money company? He is, yeah.

I think, is it a crypto company? Yeah. Like a crypto hedge fund? one coming. Yeah. Yeah. So, and that medical examiner report is still pending, which is key because they said that will also tell us her, to your point, Jeff, just how she died, determine the cause

of death. So, you know, we'll continue to follow this story. And I'm switching gears just a little bit. So FIFA World Cup, it is coming up. So if you plan on going and you plan on taking the train from New York City to MetLife for the FIFA World Cup, get ready

to pay a lot. So there are reports this morning that that train ride from the stadium could jump to around $100 on game days. So to put that in context, that same trip typically costs about $13, about $12.90 to be exact. So we're talking roughly a 700% increase. And so this is coming from New Jersey transit officials, though. They say pricing isn't finalized just yet, but if it does happen, this would apply to everyone, including seniors, kids, riders, people who usually get those discounted fares. State leaders say that they

don't want to apply that fare to everyone and have taxpayers have to be responsible for tourists. So they're going to charge everyone. That's public transportation. Yeah, I know. So how does public transportation? You're like, you know what we're getting in on this too? Usually it's $12.

We charge you a hundred? Yeah. And then the cheapest ticket for one of the World Cup thing I saw I was like $800, like $790, $800. They're taking the signs off their arenas and putting Arena? Arena.

It just sounded nasty. They're taking the signs off the arena so bad. That's not a bodypark. You want an arena so bad. They're taking the signs off the arenas. Yes. Where they put the arenas? Forget you.

They're going to put the arenas after they take them off. They're putting FIFA on it. So, like, I see the MetLife, they pulled the MetLife sign down. They're paying big bread for that. They got to be able to do that. And they're asking, and, you know, FIFA's coming to a believe New York, Atlanta, Florida, and I think Texas. So what they're doing is they're telling you if you own a home in those areas,

you can rent out your homes and make $10,000 to $30,000, renting out your home for Airbnb because people are flying in and they need a place to stay. Hotels are too crazy. That's a lot of money. That is a lot of money. Listen, the public transportation is only going to be to take people to those things, the FIFA. Well, if you want to take public transportation from Manhattan to, you know, watch the games or to areas to watch the games, where you're usually...

What if I'm coming into Manhattan? happening for something else. Right. Now you're still going to charge me? On a game day, it says game day, they charge you. Oh, that's not right. That's not right. People still got to go to work and other things. Like, that's not right. They charge you. Yeah. So, when you add it all up, expensive game tickets, high hotel prices, parking, going to run you the hundreds. So you're telling me that on a game day, if you're going to come into the city for something regular, they're going to charge me. If you want to go, if you're taking a train on game game. I don't even think that's legal. Can they do

that? I think New Jersey Transit is private. MTA is saying that prices will be the same, but I think Jersey Transit is private so they can charge $100. People are pissed off about it. Yeah, an uproar about this online. They are not happy about this. Yeah. All right, and so really quickly last, today is tax day. So if you haven't filed your taxes yet,

today is your deadline. You have until today to file your return and pay what you owe. If you're not ready, you can, of course, file for an extension, but you will still need to pay what you owe to avoid penalties. Or you might get money back on the positive side, me. Or you might. I'm just saying, I want to give people. You know, the real.

Yes, or you could get money back, that too. All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network. I don't know. I don't know, but damn, it feels like you reminded the IRS. I was like, yeah, today is texting.

Where my goddamn money? All right. Everybody else, when we come back, Emma Greedy will be joining us. Her new book, Start With Yourself, is out now. We're going to talk to her next. Emma getting too much money. It don't even make no sense. Skims is worth like $5 billion.

Good, what's it called? Good Americans. Worth like $3 billion. She's getting too much money. A lot of money. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV.

Just hilarious. Charlemagne de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawlerosa is here with us today. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. She has a new book. Start with yourself.

Emma greedy, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back. Thank you. Thank you for having me back. How you feeling? I'm feeling great, actually. Great. The book comes out and I'm just like dying right now.

Big entourage, 50 people at least. Always, Charlemagne. I learned from the best. 51. I'll learn from the best. And when do you have time between running businesses? When do you have time

to write this book? You know, I think it's like, for me it was super important to do it. And I've been thinking about it for the longest time because I've learned

so much over the years. And it was important to me to answer the questions that I get asked over and over again. And there's no way that I can answer every DM. I can speak to every woman at the end of a conference.

So this for me was actually something that was really important to get out there because I think the idea of what it means to build a business has been really warped by social media. And so then when I say things that upset people

and they're like, oh really? Like I need to go to work. I'm like, yes. You need to work. Are you going to have to work? So, you know, I feel it was important to put down everything because you only see the glory side. And I've had a lot of things happen in my career, a lot of mistakes that I've made. And I thought that was equally important to share. Now, I know

you're very intentional about design and things like that. Like, what made you come up with this cover? Because it's fly, but it's simplistic, right? It's very simplistic. It's beautiful fabric. The material of the book. is different, the fabric is different. Well, I'm an aesthetic person. You know, I wanted something that looked beautiful,

but also I went with the publisher who would allow me to not put my face on the book because I don't want to read a book with the face on the book. But your face sells! I know. It's a nice face. No one's saying it's not. But to me it was important because, listen,

I created a book that is here to use, not just to read. So I wanted it to feel like a workbook. It's yours. It's not mine. It's not about me. It's about you. It's about the reader.

Dope. Now, what's all with yourself. Is that starting with yourself? professionally or personally when you say start with you? You know, I don't think that you can separate the two things because at the end of the day, we come to work in into our work lives and our careers as people. And I've never been able to separate those two things myself. I come into my work as a mother of four, as a wife, as a woman that's been through a lot of things.

And so I've really tried not to have that separation. It's like where you can figure your stuff out. And I talk so much in this book about having a vision for yourself and managing your emotion. because when you're coming at life from an emotional place, you will never make good decisions. That means you won't make good decisions in your life or in your career and your work. So I look at the two things as one of the same.

What's a hard truth about yourself that you had to confront that changed the trajectory of your success? Well, you know, when I was a kid, I was a very angry kid. When you're raised in the hood and when you're raised, you know, around a lot that's kind of going on around you and that's not something that you have a choice in. You get angry.

And I really realized I think in my late teens that that wasn't going to serve me, the type of life that I dreamed of and all the things I wanted were not going to come if I kept kind of walking around blaming everybody else. So that was a real pivotal time for me to kind of get a hold. And again, it's about not allowing your emotions to do your decision making for you. And I think about that even in the sense for most women now, right? A lot of us come from a place of fear. We're fearful about what's next or we're carrying guilt for our kids and for our family. And so I think managing your emotions more. broadly is something that all of us, man or woman, really have to work on in order to get ahead. What made you, I'm sorry, go ahead. I saw you say you're a max three-hour mom and that sparked a conversation. Didn't it spark a debate? I mean, listen, I want to be really honest about this. I spend all my time working and I'm a mum of four.

I think that I am a core memory mom. I'm not going to walk it back. Like, I'm somebody that really, really cares about the big things, the big moments, Christmas, Thanksgiving. But let's be honest. Have I been at work all week, Monday through Friday, and I'm with my kids all morning on a Saturday? There's time that I need for me.

And I say things that a lot of people think. I think that most moms, after playing with their kids and taking their kids to the birthday parties and getting up on a Saturday and going through their house and running their errands are exhausted. So I'm just being honest. Any husband who's married, like I am, like envy is, we have four daughters.

We understand exactly what you need. We know exactly what our wives need. Breaks. Right. Yes, they do. All women need breaks. And what I want to do is destigmatize the idea of what it means to be a mother who works. And at the end of the day, it's like, if I'm good, the whole family's good.

But that it takes a village. And I think this idea that we're all doing everything ourselves, that you have to constantly be in service as a woman to your family, to everyone around you, is unrealistic if you're going to be successful. So let's just call it what it is. It's like, I am a really great hands-on mum. but I also need to look after myself and I prioritize myself often and I don't want to have to walk around feeling ashamed at doing that.

Do you think that women ever really get to a point where they don't feel ashamed though like fully like you have no mom guilt ever? No, that's the truth is no I don't but it's my guilt. So I think what's really important and when I talk about holding a vision for yourself you have to hold a vision for yourself

for the type of woman you want to be the type of mother you want to be the type of friend you want to be and once that vision is aligned with what you're doing you're fine. And what I mean by that is I know what type of parent I want to be. I'm out the door most mornings because I have to leave to go to the office. But I am always at my house at 5.30 because I like to do bedtime and story time, put my kids to bed.

That's my choice. That's what I like to do. So I measure myself by my own set of standards, by my principles, by the way I want a parent, not by what I see on Instagram or what I see other moms at the school do. That's what makes you miserable. That's what gives you this heavy sense that I'm in some sense of guilt. So I think hold a vision for yourself and work towards your own vision and version of your life. And don't be held to anyone else's standards.

Now, break down what the three-hour Max Mom is. So for people I don't know, that's listening. I mean, you could clarify, but the comment that I read, Wall Street Journal, right? It was the Wall Street Journal. Good old Wall Street Journal. Thank you. Just to make it very, very clear, is that on a Saturday, after five days at work, I go in the office every single day.

I come home every single day. By the time it gets to midday on a weekend, I'm pretty dumb. I'm ready to go and do something for myself. That doesn't mean I'm sitting out by the pool lounging around. Anyone who's a mum of four knows that that's not the case. But it's like, do I want to be down on the floor, like driving cars with my four-year-olds all day? No, that's the honest truth.

And so what I try to do is think about, what do my kids really need from me, right? They need someone that they can rely on. They need a mom that loves them. They need somebody who creates the best, you know, life for them. That doesn't mean that I need to spend every single waking hour orientating myself around their needs because my job and my life is bigger than that.

Just because you're a mama four, I don't think we all need to sit here going that's the only thing that I do. It isn't. Can you tell that to my four-year-old? Can you please? Because I'm tired of playing Barbies on the weekend. Isn't I love playing Barbies for an hour.

It's facts. Any parent who says any different, it's probably lying to themselves. But also, it's not like the father is doing stuff with him? The father is doing stuff for them. We have a big extended family. They're not sitting there languishing. But also let's get really straight about this, right? Parenting hasn't gotten more difficult.

The expectations around parenting has got really difficult. And I think that we are all kidding ourselves when we think it's our full-time job to manage every single play date, every activity your kid does, everything that they ingest, everything that they do. Are you crazy when I was a kid? If there was an apple and a packet of chips in the house, my mom was like, job done. It is not our jobs to usher our kids through every single. single moment of the day. They will figure it out. It's fine for them to get bored and put on the TV.

Oh my goodness. So you don't think we should micromanage? No, I don't think we could micromanage anything. And again, I think that my job as a mom is to really make sure that my kids are safe and well and fed and looked after and loved. But I don't think that every waking moment of their 24 hours is my responsibility to manage. No. And would I be this successful if I did? No. You know, in a lot of conversations, especially up here, when is the right time to have a family? Because you talk about that.

Break that down a little bit. Well, you know, I think that what's happened in the culture very largely is that, you know, we really have started to tell people that, you know, you have to wait. You have to wait for you're waiting for. Like, you have to wait for Prince Charming. You have to wait for the ideal time. And the reality is that there is no such thing as a perfect time, you know. And fertility is a really, really tricky thing.

And so what we're seeing are so many. many people that wait and wait and wait and wait and this happened to me. And then it was no longer your choice. I had two children completely fine and naturally and then really, really struggled to get pregnant again in my kind of late 30s. And so I think that what we've got to do is be honest about when the right time is from a fertility perspective. Because if we all wait until we're 38, 39 years old, the chance is dwindle. And we again, we've kind of set ourselves up in corporate America to say, freeze your eggs. Don't worry, there are options down the line

when in fact those options aren't really options for women. They are just hopes and promises that maybe something will happen in the future. And so I really think that you should do, you know, have your 20s as the years that you put the pedal to the medal, that you absolutely like do everything that you can in your career. And you have to think about kids in your only 30s. That's just the reality of it. And every time you lay down to have sex, you know, it's potential that, you know, you could get pregnant. There is that, Charlemagne.

Yeah. That happens. I'm just saying, so when you say wait, it's like, it does happen, it's not like you abstain it from sex. No, people are not abstaining from sex. But we have to just, like, put this as what it is, right? We are seeing marriage rates decline, birth rates decline.

A lot of women are making decisions not to have children or to wait until they're much, much lay there. Because, again, we've built it up that you have to wait until you're successful in your career before you even think about having a baby. The reality is it's not either or. It's both and. Like, you have to just decide that, you know, for a moment, your career might have to take a little back seat. But if you wait and wait, listen, I'm not sitting here advocating for teenage pregnancy.

What I'm saying is wait until you're 38 years old is probably not a good idea. Dang. I'm 34. I was just looking at this thing on New York Times. Me and Mimi Brown, who does our front page? You're 34. I'm 34, right? 34.

How many times should you go outside of the country with a man after the age of 30-something? Damn. I just came back from Italy. He thinks I should have come back with a ring and a baby. Oh, well, no. It's the second or third time she's been out the country with this guy. With the guy? Yeah.

I mean, I'm sure it is. I'm not worried for you. So here's the thing, though. I was about the first time he went out of the country. Be quiet. He asked you just to be his girlfriend. Oh, but that's romantic. What's wrong with you, Charlemagne?

He was kind of crazy. He made a big production of it, though. He put the rolls. I like it. Because when the proposal comes, when the proposal comes, that's going to be a nice big production too. He listens to what I like. But anyway, so me and Mimi Brown, right,

We were talking about the New York Times just did this study, that fertility last year was at like a record low. And one of the reasons people are like, you know, women are thinking about career more, but also being able to afford things has like really scare people into like waiting and they're trying to save money and do all these things. And that's something that I go through in my head all the time. Like, when do you know that you have enough even like money to be like, all right, I can afford a kid? But that's what I'm talking about the expectations around parenting. Because if you think that you need to change your life, change your apartment, buy all of this equipment, you know, like you, you, It's crazy. You don't need all of that.

Kids don't require all of that. We've built ourselves up in society to somehow imagine that if you don't have like X, then you can't have a baby. We have to check that. Like our parents never had all of that stuff. Why would we think that we do? This is just a construct of like modern society. You don't need all of that stuff.

It's just a fact. When you talk about old thoughts and still thinking, right? And then you talk about the construct, the constructs that we have today, where do you fall in the middle of like, all right, I'm going to let go of like what my parents did, bringing what I need to do for now, but like not push myself into fear because I'm leaning too much into what society says I need to do today.

You got to be somewhat secure to make sure you have a child. You can't be sitting there like yolo and not have enough to cover your okay. But you need that for yourself. People only hear certain things. No, but you need that for yourself. Emma said I can have a baby right now after money. No, they're not. The people are not that stupid.

Here's the thing. Give people some. credit. I think this, I think at the end of the day, nobody is sitting here saying that you should go out if you have nothing. All I'm saying is just waiting at women. There's a reality around your fertility window. And if you work in corporate America right now and you have the benefit of freezing your eggs, like you might hold onto that as like, okay, that means I can wait and wait and wait when the reality is how many women do you know that have had pregnancies from frozen embryos or from, wait a minute, frozen eggs

that then need to turn into frozen embryos that then need to turn into babies. It's actually really, really difficult. And so when we talk about these things, it's just a lot of nuance to them. We can't just think about, you know, wanting to be a parent and say, well, I'll just kick that down.

All I'm saying in my book is that it's something for consideration, for thought. And again, we don't talk about these things enough because the common wisdom is, I will just wait until I'm ready. I'll just wait until I've got enough money. I'll just wait until, you know, I'm in a better job. I'll just wait until this.

And the choice is no longer yours. It's 42 and it's not your choice. But we would never have kids if that was the case. Because, I mean, even now in America, I think 60% of all people live paycheck to paycheck. When there ever been a time in America where a majority of people can afford to have a baby? I think one of the constructs of today that I know you talk about

like isn't really possible is work-life balance. Right? And like people, for me, one of the things I always think about is like, all right, I don't know. what a pregnancy is going to be like if I'm physically going to be capable of getting up and appearing somewhere every single day so then what happens and I can't predict that and for a lot of people that part of it but also when you have the kids how your schedule changes and everything you have to adjust to what do you lose what do you gain like it's like fear of the unknown it's called

a trade off it's called life like seriously women have been having babies for century like you think they couldn't make them way into the radio and sit down to like have a shitty chat I've had No, but I'm deadly serious about this because that is how people think. But what if I have to sacrifice? But what if I can't do something? Yeah, and yeah, and yeah, that you have to sacrifice. There has to be a trade-off.

Everything you get in life comes with something else you have to give. I just think that we're in a generation. We're all sitting here going, oh my God, something has to change? Yeah, it has to change. You have to say, I'm going to sacrifice something because there's this other thing on the other side. But that's no difference than when we're in business. Everything that you want is on the other side of fear.

every good thing that's going to come to you requires a bit of a trade-off why we think that we're going to get everything that we want and give nothing is just setting people up to fail how do you check your ego when the world is constantly rewarding you because success can reinforce bad habits just as much as the ones can't I think that that comes from my upbringing you know

I was raised in East London and so there is like a basic like there's a moral compass and a sort of operating manual of how you should behave I was raised to tell the truth. I was raised to very much come true on my word, to not talk and not mean things. And so I think the way that I operate every day, what I come back to and the way that I behave in business

is very much about the foundation of where I come from. And so I just think that that's who I am. I also think what you realize is that life is very long. Like even on this press tour, you know, I was laughing this morning with my team saying, I've met three journalists that used to work for me. You know, if you are not a good person and if you've treated people bad, like, it will come and it will kill you. And so I am able to keep those things in check just because that's who I am.

And I also know that, like, you know, things change, like really, really quickly. One minute you're on the up and the other minute you're not, you know, and I've seen those cycles. I've had that in my life. And I've tried it in this book to talk a lot about all of the failures that I've had. Because what you see on Instagram, what you see in the press is almost like the real of great. It's all this amazing stuff and all these lovely outfits and all these good glam days when the reality is I've had a lot of failures I had a lot of things in my life that didn't work out I had a bunch of businesses that I had to have really like steep learnings from and so what I did in this book was try to be really honest about that so that other people can learn from it and can see that it's just you don't always have this linear path of up and up and up and up like you do something great and then it kind of stagnates a little bit and then it goes down a bit and then something else amazing happens but our life happens. in seasons. I think the more that we can be really honest about that, the easier it is for people

to see and track their own journeys, because we have like unrealistic expectations on ourselves, which also, I think, really stifles women, this idea that everything should be perfection. And the reality is that in my own life, it has never been there. And how do you handle the failures? You talk about the failures. How do you re-approach whether it's personally or business to make sure that it doesn't happen again? Is it firing people? Is it hiring the right people? Is it not listening to your gut and listening to the finances? So how does that work? two pieces of it. The first one is that I'm always in learning mode, right? Every day I'm trying to learn. And so whenever there's a failure, I look not on the outside, but I go inside. I'm like,

what part did I have to play in that failure? What did I do? What was uniquely my fault? And so I kind of absorb that. I take that in and I go, okay, like, what could I have done differently? Who am I? So I really think about that. The other part is that I don't attach it to myself, because men will fail. They'll lose money. They'll close a business. And they're like, boom, on to the next one, whereas a woman will go, oh, that was me. I missed my one chance. I know you don't have one chance. You have many, many, many chances. So I try to separate what is me from what actually happened. And when you're able to do that, it's a really amazing tool because you start not to look at these things as verdicts on yourself, but rather like a set of circumstances, you take the learning,

you move on, you go again. That's just a fact. That's what you have to do. It's called resilience. And it's like a muscle. It builds the more stuff you do. won't ever let it do is stop me from doing something. And that's a really important message for women because you can fail and fail and fail and fail and fail. All you need is that one win. You just need that one thing to work out. And that's what we have to train ourselves for to know that there's a lot of chances in life and that you don't have to get everything right and you shouldn't, you know, wait for this perfect moment and this perfect set of circumstances because my experience tells me that never comes. That's what I love about you and I love about the book. I feel like you teach strategy. And I think

that sometimes the self-help industry sometimes sells hope without teaching strategy. Yeah. Yeah, that's what, you know, for me, it was really easy. I wrote the book almost back to front in typical dyslexic fashion because it was so easy to write about building a brand and a business and career. You know, I spent 15 years working in corporate, leadership, all of that, money, trade-offs, easy for me to write. But the reason I've been able to do that is because I've managed my emotions. And this part about holding a vision, for yourself is very important because it isn't about manifestation. It's not about vision boards. When you have a clear vision for yourself, meaning who you are and what is important to you

and what do you want in your life, it really crystallizes how you should spend your time. What are the ways that you should use your energy and use your gifts? But it's really important to have that vision for yourself and to hold it in high regard. And so the book really starts in that place of figuring out, not like, my vision is I want to be rich. No. It's like, how do you want to live? How do you want to spend your time? What type of person do you want to be? And then you make your decisions and you create your goals coming out of that.

Do you talk a bit about, well, one of your interviews I saw you talked about how women don't want to talk about money? Yeah. And you talk about just now, right, being rich. So Forbes named you one of America's richest self-made women in 2025, right? So they did. She's getting to it. Yes, they did. Okay, clock it.

But the conversation you were having is about how women, and a lot of times black women, Don't you want to have a conversation when they deserve raises or to be paid for something? At what point in your life were you ever not asking for what you deserved? Never. And I tell you where that comes from. That's an East London thing. Like when you don't have much, like I was raised with audacity. Meaning, you know, it's like when I did my first paper round, they were like, we want to pay you 10 pounds a week.

I was like, that is crazy. And I worked out how much it would cost for me to like visit every single house. And I went back and I was like, that's wrong. You guys should pay me 15 pounds, 50 or whatever it was. something crazy because I value myself so highly and if you don't it's very hard for other people to value so the first thing is do the work and understand your value when we talk about for example we all know that women get less than three percent of venture capital funding what i'm interested in is not the what's happening in culture and society right that stuff we know about we know about

systemic barriers we understand that there are systems that keep us out of those conversations I'm talking about what can we do. Where can we start with ourselves and use what we have to get what we need? And if you hide behind soft ambition, performative purpose, meaning if you have an idea for a business and you give me a proposal, and it takes you six pages before you've even spoken about profit because you're too busy giving the money away and supporting your community and all of this stuff because you've dressed the idea up in performative purpose,

that isn't getting to the point. Let's not getting to the point of business. So what I'm saying is we have to put money in the centre of our plans. We have to make sure that what we need we are asking for. And we're being very, very clear about where we're making money. And I mean, I talk about this all the time on my podcast. A Spy with Emma Greed is full of lessons. I bring in money experts.

I bring in investment experts. I ask every single founder that's ever been on that show, how did you raise the money? How did you make the money? How does the company work? How profitable is it? What are you doing with the money? It's very important because we are not taught this. And so what I want to do is make sure

and part of my mission is to teach women there. Teach us how to speak about it. Teach us how to ask for it and get us like really used to the language because the language is something that, you know, I listen to my husband on the phone every day and he's having conversations about where to invest and how much you're putting in like this crypto

or, you know, this kind of financial construct conversation. I never have conversations like that with my girlfriends. And so I want, as women to start having those conversations. Because once you understand it and you learn it, it's like exposure therapy. It means that you are then able to ask for what you need. Start with yourself.

It's out right now. Go pick it up. Do yourself in favor, man. A new vision for work and life. Emma, I love you. I really do appreciate you and the information you put out there. I appreciate you so much and I have to say I'm so happy that you're doing my show in New York. You were literally, I wanted to

make sure that a man was going to be in and the idea that you're there with Martha Stewart is like literally, he's the man. He's the man. Shut up. She said that. Martha Stewart, Charlemagne, I'm just waiting for it. I'm just waiting for it.

I'm loving it. But it's important, listen, it's sold out. Right, but we'll make it. It's at Adler Hall and it's 7 p.m. 7 p.m. Thank you very much. Adla Hall. We're having a conversation, myself, and Emma, about her book, start with yourself, a new vision for work in life.

No, I knew about that. Hey, you know. He's a man. maximum two hour know what he's supposed to do person. I really relate to that. I'm the same. That's why I'm looking around. I know what's happening next.

He's always punctual though when he's going to show up. He read the book. Listen, he's great and we're going to have a great conversation. And I think it's very, very important because we also, you know, I'm all about women, supporting women, but we will need men to. All right. Well, it's the breakfast club is Emma Gritty.

Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down.

I'm being myself. That source is right. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that, take me through that. The latest with Narno Lose. Take me through that. On the breakfast club.

L.L. Cool bag. Talk to me. All right, guys, so real quick, before we get into the hour, we talked about Chris Brown and Usher going on tour. Yes, we did. Yeah, so yesterday they actually dropped tour dates. So they're going to be everywhere. There's a ton of tour dates. And they say in the caption, if you don't see a certain location,

don't mind, don't complain because there will be more dates added. But you can sign up for pre-sell at Raymond and Browntour.com. And they'll be here in Jersey at MetLife Stadium in August. Okay, cool, because I did. It kicks off in June. Yeah, because I was like, why not MSG? Why not? You know what I'm saying?

Because that would be an easy sell. Yeah, well, they say that there's some more dates coming. I see people in the comments talk about Philly as well. So we keep you guys updated there. Now, switching gears a bit. So last week, or coming back this week, we talked about the fact that offset was, a shot outside of a casino in Florida.

Well, yesterday, the FBI in Miami released a statement to press and let us know that they are now going to be taken over the case. Now, a lot of people are probably wondering why the FBI is getting involved. The FBI in Miami said they're getting involved because the shooting happened on federally recognized Native American land, so it's a jurisdiction thing.

And they released some photos yesterday of suspects that they want to talk to in the accident, you know, anyone with any information to send that over because they're trying to figure out what went down, who, what, where it went. So there's about seven photos. I know that people were mentioning Little T.J. in the conversation because it is alleged that his crew was fighting with another crew

and then the shooting happened. But Little T.J. was not in any of those photos that I saw that were issued. But there will be some updates. Do we know why the feds are picking up the case? Or do we know why it's not a statement? Just said. Yes, because it's on a federally recognized Native American land. Gotcha.

Is what the press says. And they also specified that offset was shot in his leg. Okay. Yeah, I know that that was like a thing. But yeah, but Offset is doing well, so happy to see that he's doing well. There'll be some updates there. Yeah, you need to lock up whoever shot Offset. You know what I'm saying?

Because the reality, the situation is that person is out here to shoot you too. That's the truth to matter. If you shoot somebody like that, wasn't it in broad daylight? Yes. In front of the casino. In Florida, a tourist area. If you do something like that day, you'll do something like that anywhere. Lock his ass up.

They have photos of, you know, suburban and a Tahoe that they allegedly. that the gentleman got into. They have photos of some of them walking around the casino. So, you know, once they get some more information, I'm sure we'll see your like arrest warrants and stuff like that. So we'll keep you guys up.

Lock his ass up, whoever it is. Well, speaking of, you know, locking up, Pooch-Sci, back to that conversation again. So Pooch-Scii's attorney, Bradford Cohen, we talked about him a bit up here because he gave us a statement when everything first happened. He sat down with long crime TV

and broke down some of the evidence that the government is saying that they have when it comes to the alleged kidnapping and robbery of a Gucci Man and some others. And Bradford Cohen is basically saying that a lot of this is BS, as we talked about before. So they talk about specific evidence. They go into the fact that Pooch Seisty and his dad were allegedly caught on camera going into a staples, printing something out.

Let's take a listen to Bradford Cohen, explain that. First, let me just address the Staples thing. I don't even care if they're at Staples. They're going to a recording studio. And normally, my clients usually print off the lyrics for different individuals. If you have five individuals that are going to be on one record and they each have a section or a part, they'll usually print those things off. So I really didn't care about the Staples thing.

The electronic monitor, again, people will tell me, oh, we have this data. And then when I get it, it's typically not what they represent. Now, I don't know. It could be exactly what they represent. And if it is, then we'll deal with it. Then we don't say a certain defense of, oh, well, he wasn't there, or he was in the area or whatever it is. We have to create the defense and create a way to make sure that they're held to their burden, the government. So it doesn't matter what they say.

It's matter what they have. Who is he talking to and why? Like, shouldn't he be in his office with his team, you know, coming together with a plan? Like, who was he? Is he explaining this to the media? It's like he's fighting social media. That's right. And that lets you know that the court of public opinion weighs heavy in these cases.

Remember back in the day when they used to tell juries not to, you know, stay off stuff and say social media. It's impossible now. But them lawyers know that. So he's having that conversation just so you can get the court of public opinion on their side. But this is what I never understood, right? So you say that to, like you said, to the press.

Now I'm the attorney working for the government. I know what you're fighting. I know what your plan is now. Now there's no surprise. I can, you know, fight what you're saying. I can go to Staples and see if somebody actually seen the lyrics because, let's be honest. Have we ever heard anybody print out lyrics

and bring it to the studio? No, to be honest. I don't be in the studio, but I didn't know that that. I've never seen that in my life. Yeah, me either. You should be a rapper. Did you print out your lyrics from me? I never heard that one in my life.

Yeah. You got to stay, it was in your head, though. Okay. All right. Oh, my God. Well, we are going to move on. You know how you're so upset? All right.

Now, we're going to move on. Okay. So, do you... Don't let him fluster. You go. No, no, no. I'm trying to figure out if I should play one more audio because he gets into another piece of the evidence.

Let's do it. He gets... Bradford Cohen talks about the digital evidence. Remember, Charlemaine, you asked me like, oh, I thought they had video and this and that. He also goes into that. Let's take a listen. Digital evidence, right? It's surveillance.

It's rental records. It's cars. GPS. Talk to me about that. The most that does is put everyone at the scene, right? It still doesn't say if a robbery occurred, doesn't say that a kidnapping occurred. You have to travel. Federal kidnapping. You have to travel in order to complete the crime that you are accused of. These guys were there for a week, recording songs and doing all this stuff.

So like the jurisdictional element, they don't even address where Poo actually lives in Dallas. The alleged victim came to Dallas willingly, which again, that's an element of kidnapping that's not there. At the bond hearing, they were like, well, if they use the cell phone to record this signing, then that's the commerce clause. And it affects interstate commerce. Filming someone allegedly signing a contract is not in furtherance of the crime. Yeah. So he's getting into all the things of the evidence. That's the true part, right?

Because having his ankle bracelet, having the rental cars, having a video of them being there. Nobody ever said that they weren't there. So that just shows that they were there. Now, what happened while they were there, that's what they have to approve. And if there's no... They have to prove. They have to prove. But if there is no video, but they do have witnesses.

And those witnesses will be, you know, just as good. The issue with that, though, is, according to Bradford Cohen, and we've heard the federal agents or the FBI say those victims or witnesses aren't cooperating. The ones that are saying that they didn't see anything. Bradford Cohen also talks about that. Let's hear him talk about Gucci and others not cooperating. You said it. Why wouldn't they talk to the FBI? It could be sometimes something happens and you feel some sort of way that night. And then time goes by and you start to consider my options and how this is going to go and that I have to be at kind of the FBI's beck and call subpoenaed to come to Dallas, Texas. And, you know, it's quite unusual. The hip-hop rap world looks at snitching in different ways. And sometimes people say

everything is snitching. He's playing as well. But what about the white camera guy that got choked up and all that stuff allegedly that had the pictures that reported to the police? What about that guy? Who's not a hip-hop. You would need, I mean, whoever it is, you need people to cooperate inside if there's no surveillance.

And they, mind you, they don't have that video that they're allegedly what happened on the phone, right? And they also don't have the contract. So you need people to say what actually happened. And we'll see if that actually happens. Let me ask you a question. If the FBI agent said they ain't talked to nobody. If that lawyer right there, Bradford Cohen is saying that, you know,

nobody's cooperating yet. Where is this whole Gucci Man snitching thing coming from? It was from the first complaint that they dropped where they were mentioning that certain things were identified and they mentioned that Gucci was a part of that. But that was from the police report that first night. So people are still leaning on that police report. And can they use Gucci Man's song that he just released? So they talked about that as well.

They could. Bradford Cohen says only if Gucci is made to come in a police. court and he says, oh, I don't remember anything or I was on medicine or whatever, they would use that song and say, oh, no, you remember because you talked about it in the song. Literally, play by play. This is what happened. That's the key and peel sketch. Yo, yes. Oh, my God. These just made me thinking that, but yes. All right. No, they shouldn't. I don't care. I guess all this nigger stuff do is give me a headache. I know it was. You know, I had, yeah. Yes. Well, in the next hour, we

I think it's stupid. Yes. Really? Like, the fact that any of them are in this situation is just stupid. Like, that's what everybody should be talking about. How do you even end up in this situation again if you're a push-hysty? Both cases we talked about from the- Come on.

You just came home. But something similar. And now you're backing something like this again with your father. No. No. All right. I live a great life. That is the latest for Lauren.

You literally. I don't talk to niggas after 5 p.m. Okay? It's actually, I haven't talked to niggas after 5 p.m. for a long time. I've been calling you. Yeah, it's adjusted. I adjusted it and didn't even know it. It's really afternoon at this point.

I was going to say, Yuline, I called you five times the other day. And I said, and I was like, yo, I'm already dead. And then you called me back, like two hours later, like, you died? Boys! Like, grow up. Stupid. You want to make sure. And then she answered me and said, no, I didn't die.

You still dead? And that was dead. He can keep it real brief. He'd be like, all right, I'll play you back. Then I called you and got my ass to every. That's what God wants for me, y'all. That ain't your stuff. Sorry, I don't know what to tell you.

God and my therapist want that for me. I don't know what to tell you. My life is amazing. We'll be back at the next latest with some more. My life is amazing. Thanks. Mine too. Shelterman, who you giving that donkey to, man?

Four after the hour, man, we need a man who hasn't been identified to come to the front of the congregation. But we need to talk diarrhea this morning, y'all. Wasn't it? Okay, I said, no, you know her. Diaria, we need to talk about it. Oh, I thought you said that. I'm going to say, Irene.

Who the hell is that? That's a bad one you got to talk through it. All right. It's the breakfast club go board it. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. He-ha, bitch. He-ha. It's time for donkey of the day.

I'm a big boy I can take it. If he feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Shalamanian guy going to have some funny shit. Say out of his mouth. This guy said something you may not agree with. It doesn't mean I mean I mean. Who's getting that donkey, that donkey, that donkey, that don't, Don't, don't, don't.

Donkey of the day right here. The breakfast club, bitch. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, April 15th, go to an unidentified man from Bermerton, Washington. Never heard of Bremerton, Washington, but drop on the clothe bomb for Bremerton, Washington. Okay? Now, it's probably for the best that they haven't released this man's identity

because this man was caught in a very embarrassing situation, and I would like to actually thank all parties involved, including the Bermerton Police Department, dropping the clues bomb for the Bremerton Police Department for how they handled the situation. They handled this situation very well. Now, before I tell you why this man is getting donkey today, I would like to discuss with you your bowels, okay?

Not just your bowels, because if you're healthy, you should have a bowel movement a couple of times a day. What I would like to discuss is when you're climbing up a ladder and you feel something splatter. What am I talking about? Diarrhea! That's right. When you're chilling with your daughter and you feel the poo-poo water.

Diarrhea. When you're walking down the hall and you feel something. something fall. Diarrhea. I didn't know that one. Never heard that one. One more, one more. When you're riding in a Chevy and you feel something heavy. Diary! Diary! That's right.

But mud. Okay, Pugoo, the runs, bubble guts, backdoor blues, cold brown. Okay, hurricane guttrina. Diary is no joke kids. Okay, but you get to a certain age and you know what you should and shouldn't be eating because you know it can trigger a chocolate tsunami. Okay. And if you risk it all by eating something you have no business eating and you leave the house knowing what could happen, that's on you. Okay, have you ever done colonoscopy prep? NV. I know you have. Yes.

Okay? I have as well, all right. What does your doctor tell you the day before when you are on that liquid diet? Don't leave the house. Stay near a toilet. Why? Because you're on the toilet for what feels like every three to five minutes. Why am I bringing this up?

Because if you leave the house when the doctor tells you not to and you get to hers, she squirts, that's on you. And that is what bringing me to the table. day's don't here today. See, Brimerton police had to respond to a burglary call. Okay, officers were called to a report of a burglary in progress, okay, in a building in downtown Brimerton, where a man had forced his way into a building and barricaded himself inside a bathroom. Now, I'm reading this directly from the police report, okay? The Brimington PD said, from behind the closed door, they heard yelling and screaming, okay? Yes.

What? Their exact words was he was making a lot of noise, so much so that the police thought this might turn into a tense, violent encounter. They yelled commands for the man to leave the bathroom, and after being told several times to come out, he finally came out. He probably came out after everything else came out. And when he came out, the police wished they had left him in there.

All right? The police said, this is the police's exact words. What happened next was not your typical burglary scenario. They said the situation became immediately clear that everyone present that this was less about criminal intent and more about a full-blown personal emergency. That means it was boonky gravy everywhere, okay? Probably all on the floor, the walls. He couldn't flush enough.

I'm sure it looked like somebody won a championship game, and instead of champagne, they decided to pop Kalua, okay? The man told police it was a crisis of boughs. And the police agreed with him. They said based on the totality of the circumstances, that assessment was not in dispute. And the individual was taken to a hospital for treatment. I know you might be thinking, Charlemagne, why are you victim blaming? First of all, two things.

One, if you got to be taken to the hospital for treatment because your body is rejecting your life choices. And if you have to break into an office building because your ancestors told you not to eat to eat that and you did it anyway, then you had no business leaving the house to begin with. Okay, even if it wasn't the house, if you was at work, okay, wherever you was at, you did whatever you did that caused your stomach to file a grievance. Okay, you did that, all right? So wherever you was at, you were supposed to stay there. You can't be out in the wild when there's potential for a brown flame. Okay, when your stomach and ass come together to go rah-rah like a dungeon dragon, you will absolutely be changing your drawers. And you knew better.

You knew better. You knew not to leave that house or wherever you was at. That's why they tell you to trust your gut. Please give this brother the sweet sounds of the hamletones. You know your stomach. You know your body. Trust your gut. Sometimes it's unexpected.

Y'all know that happens sometimes. Happened to me once in my life. I went to a Jamaican restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina. Used to be called, I don't even know if it's still there, but used to be called Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings.

Yep. And whatever I ate the night before came out the next day. Next day, though. You know what I mean? So that was unexpected. Right. Okay.

That happened to me a pair a couple years ago. I remember when you threw your drawers in the underwear. The jam boy. And the jam that I had no idea what the hell we'd be doing at the breakfast club.

That was actually the custodias complaint. I don't know what they'd be doing in there, but I found some red underwear with brown stains in them. That's not true. I thought it was gas and it wasn't. So was that sound you? That was it? Might have been.

And that happened. You've been working a pair of what, three years now? And it happened to be a couple times up here. I ain't about no couple now. See, something wrong now. See, that's loose booty, loose booty. You don't remember her running out? He's not talking about me.

Oh, I thought you was. I thought you was saying you did a couple times. No, we're not talking about me. No, okay. No, that's because I don't have no gallbladder. What? You're lying again? Now your mom about to call you and say you're up being embarrassed and so again.

I'm not lying. Y'all remember that back in January. So you ain't got no gallbladder now you got diarrhea? No, no, I don't have a gallbladder so things like I can't hold this in times and it's like, oh my God. So yeah, when y'all are recording me and laughing and things like that, it's my health. I mean, let me Google. It's an actual condition. Exactly.

I don't trust you. I don't have, you only get one gallbladder. I thought you had two, but you have one. And when they removed it, I was like, wow. Like I thought they could have... Most people live normally without a gold bladder, though many experienced temporary digestive changes such as diarrhea. Exactly. Gas are bloating.

It says it causes frequent loose booty or watery stools. It does not say that. And you never and you never know. It does. It does say diarrhea. It says when you get your gallbladder removed, it says when you're sliding in the first and your pants begin to burst. Diary. When you're sliding into two and your pants are filled with glue. Diarrhea.

When you're sliding in the third and you feel a greasy turd. Oh, please shut up. Oh, shut up. When you're sliding in the home and your pants are filled with brown phone. Some people can't help it. Shut up. Some people just can't help it, y'all. All right.

Let's get serious. Let's get serious. Thank you for that dog here today. Now, when we come back, United States Representative from Minnesota's 5th Congressional District will be joining us. Ilhan Omar. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Salomey Nagai. We are the Breakfast Club. La Rosa is here. Me, me, me as well.

And we have you. United States representative for Minnesota's fifth congressional district in the building Ilhan Omar. Good morning. You know, every time you're supposed to come here, something happens. I know. Two snowstorms. Every single time she was supposed to come, a snowstorm

happens. That's my story with New York. Every time I'm trying to make it here, something happens. There's either there's some emergency vote, there's some shutdown, or there's weather problems. How are you? How's your energy? I'm good. I'm God. Yeah. Do you ever feel comfortable? Do you ever feel like

I don't know if I want to use the word safe, but do you ever feel safe everywhere? Internally, I do. Okay, internally, okay. But, you know, we have to worry about the external. We try to take the precautions that are necessary and have security when it's needed. And I actually had Capitol Police detail that was going to come with me the last time I was going to come here. But things look good, so I don't have them right now. What makes it look good, though?

I don't know. They figure out the threat levels. Somebody's in charge of that. I don't know. Yeah, I know, especially when it's Mike Johnson making that decision. Absolutely. Absolutely. We're running for re-election. So what do you want people to know about your congressional leadership? Yeah. In what regard?

And just, you know, we see you, we see you out fighting, we see everything that you're doing. You're very, very outspoken. And there are certain things that are coming up and you're fighting against Trump. Will that continue? What are you hoping to fight against this administration for going forward? I mean, I believe that it is really important for Democrats to take this fight seriously. You know, we always talk about democracy being on the line, but it's real. We're seeing it every single day, right?

Like, Charmey wouldn't ask me about elections taking place. fair and freely if it wasn't because of everything that we're seeing that is very worrying to all of us and obviously we understand that there's these unjust wars that he's starting in Iran

the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela, the threats to Cuba, you know, whatever he is saying about Greenland, you know, what he's doing with our alliances. I see

my role in bringing a lot of those voices, bringing a lot of that fight and making sure that we have creative ways, that we're building not just relationships within our caucus so that we fight like a family, but also that we're building the relationships with the outside groups, you know, with our outside family so they understand the kind of fights that we're having in Congress and why they're important in that. As we talk about you as a leader, I was reading an article today about your comments on Marjorie Taylor Green and the fact that like we should have empathy for

people like her who've like realized all this stuff right as a leader like I understand the overall point of that like it's two sizes and at one point we all got to combine but like when she's a person that has like said horrible things about you right has accused

you of like you know everything that Trump and his administration lean on yeah why do you get to that point like why not just like leave her where she is and let her do she thinks she's doing oh i'm good to leave her where she is and love her do what she's doing i guess why i say that public yeah no i mean my my point is this if you were let stray and you are adult enough honest enough to say i was wrong into believing that this was the right the direction for our country and i want to join you all because i now understand that you had it right

I'm like welcome, right? I'm glad you finally got here because we believe that we are on the right side of history. And so if, you know, this person that was leading this mega movement that has been about division, that has been about conspiracy theories, that has been about, you know, figuring out who is American and who, you know, is not depending on what their political opinions were,

is now saying, no, actually the person who made us believe even called us to this movement is the person who is an American, who is the person who doesn't want the best interest for all Americans in this country. And I want to join those that now, that I now understand, want the best for all of us. Now, am I going to be kikiing with her? No. Because that was going to be my next question. Because it's like, you make a comment like that. Of course, the headlines pick it up. So now it's like, I know like Obama got so much like slack when he sat next to, you know, Trump. You should have. Right?

You're playing footsie with him. But my point is, is if you make comments like this and then they pick up and then you do see her out and about and she wants to have these conversations and it's positive and she's smart. Like, how do you avoid that when you've kind of opened the door for her to try and do things? Like publicly be seen meshing and that's not the message you want to send. Yeah. I mean, I think there is a difference between saying you have. a change of heart politically and your policy point views now align with mine, then saying you just hate who I hate and we're friends now, or I'm just going to be cordial because we're in

public and I'm just going to like greet you normally. I think those three things are very different. What I'm saying is that politically and policy wise where she has arrived, it's not much different than what we have been calling for all along. She is not the kind of person that if she was where she was, that I would be sitting next to her funeral or not, right? And like, high-fifing and giggling with. Like, that just, I think, does send the wrong message because we are in a political environment. And I also don't think, like, the fact that you just don't like Trump or you are never Trumper, if you do not see things the way that we see or what the direction that we want to take this, this country policy-wise, I don't think like the list cheney, like that's not, you still

are who you are politically. You still are who you are policy-wise. So there is no reason just because you don't think Trump should be president that you and I should have anything in common. So when you're calling for Democrats to show grace to form, which, Trump supporters? What does grace? I am not. Okay. No, it was not the Trump supporters. That's not what I'm saying. If you had a change of heart in regards to policy. No, what I'm saying? What if you're a Trump supporter who had a change of heart? Policy. Policy. Okay. Not, you know, I mean, if you're Liz Cheney and you're like, I'm not voting for Trump, but I'll, I'll vote for Harris, but you still hold, right, the,

all of your policy views that align with Trump. That mean nothing to me. I don't, So what about former Trump supporters like the Marjorie Taylor Green? Yeah, but if you're Marjorie Taylor Green and you say, this man is taking us to wars that will destroy us and our resources in the future of our children, that is a policy position I have. I'm anti-war. I've got little kids. She's got, you know, like young adults.

I've got young adults. And this is one of the, we had a conversation about this when we were talking about the genocide in Gaza. You know, that's why she came to it. She was like, my daughter was talking to me about it, showing me the images. And I told her about my daughter, you know, in her advocacy when she was at Columbia as a student. And so I believe if you have changed the way you see policy, there is a difference. That makes a difference. I do not think it's okay if you've just changed who you like and dislike.

All the conversations right now about, you know, the oversight committee. and you and your husband and your businesses. And I've seen you say that you think that this is just a distraction. Right. Right. But like when things like that happen, it's like, but those same people are the people you're telling us to have empathy for and want to go have conversations with.

Like people on the other side who are suggesting that you be investigated. Yeah. Listen. Suggest all you want. Please investigate what you want, right? Like to me, I'm not like I'm above the law and how dare you, you know, like, I understand politics.

I understand what these people have to do in order to like feed their base. The other day was listening to somebody who I've traveled with, who have met his wife, who, you know, we spend

a whole week doing a Kodel together. And he was on a podcast saying, Ohan hates me and Ohan hates you. And I was like, Man, that's some wild stuff to say. But I realized, yeah.

I realized that he was on this, right, like he was on this podcast. And like that was like his way of, you know, let me get some click, right? And I mean, I wouldn't be that person. I wouldn't be like this person hates me. Because I like, we wouldn't have had all these conversations if you hated me. And so to me, I get that stuff. What I'm talking about is, are you going? to vote for these things that we want voted on, right? Are you going to oppose the things we want

opposed on? I get it. You know, if, if you and I are like cursing each other out, but at the end, you know, like if we're siblings, right, and we're cursing each other out, we're battling, someone else comes and says something to you, I would be like, what? You want to fight? Right? Like, I'm not. So to me, like, if we, if we can be on a team to get these policies, that are helpful for the bottom line, for every struggling American, let's do that. I get it.

But if it is about like all the other stuff, yes, then we'll battle because that's necessary. And so that's kind of my distinction between those two buckets, if that makes sense. Let's stay here for a second. Republicans, like Lauren said, they are pushing this ethics probe over your family's finances

and your husband's business dealings. What do you think that's, really about it. Accountability or politics? Well, it's not accountability because they haven't done anything formally, right? So it is just politics. It's like, we're going to subpoena, we're going to do that. It's like

it's all of these things that are not, they're never going to do. So they're just saying it because then that gets them an interview on Fox or Newsmax or you'll see they tweet and like five minutes later, if you check, they already got

a clip of themselves, be an interview five seconds later. And so I, that's, that's what a lot of it is like driven by, since I got there. You know, it's like you say something about Ohan people fundraise. You know, they got, they're buying me a ticket back home. It's like, it's all of this stuff. You know, I joked with Nancy Mays that she could drop off the ticket because I'm next door to her office.

She hasn't dropped off a ticket yet. If you mean it, send me that ticket, you know. But it's all about, you know, how do I get this click? How do I, you know, then send the fundraising email? how do I say, you know, I'm holding Ilhan accountable. There's never really anything that they're holding onto you. So are you saying that some of these investigations are more partisan than others? I haven't seen it.

The Justice Department said that they're also going to look into your husband. Are you concerned about that? They haven't said. I haven't seen a single investigation. I thought I was wanting to know. Is there an investigation? If you know of some, let me know. I wouldn't call it an investigation.

There's just been a focus on the rapid increase in your household wealth tied to your husband's. companies. Well, they have to make a choice to investigate, right? Like, do they choose investigating? I mean, if you've done something illegal, you would investigate. But they're not investigating you. I have not been made aware of an investigation into me or my family. But when you look at the increase in your household wealth tied to your husband's companies, you understand why that raises questions for people watching from that. Yeah, but that's, but that's, again, one of the, it's their saying, right? Like, there is no wealth increase if you look at my husband's income it's almost non-existence

he's you know help make sure our children are you know going to college and our young one is is taking care of there there is no wealth there ranges to businesses that he was invested in I'm pretty sure I don't even know what what they say well correct me wrong they said you reported a net worth between $6 million and $30 million. And they said your 2023 disclosure was roughly $40,000, between $40,000 and a quarter million.

Yeah, but they're not net worths. They're like the asset things for the companies. And so I don't know what percentage of it. My husband actually has investment in. Like that's not, you know what I mean? It's not a full picture of the numbers in the way that it is presented in the document

because in the documents, we have to do ranges. we have to report in a way that is not detailed. It's not like your tax return that you're submitting for the public record to see. But that is a big increase. So you could understand why people

would ask questions. But I'm pretty sure it'll get like adjusted at some level when those ranges are looked at. And I think I saw that your husband was asked to turn over some documents but didn't comply. Is that true? From who?

I don't know. I guess the Department of Justice. I don't know. The House Oversight Committee and the Government Reform Committee, that was what was reported that I think it was early on like January, February, that he was asked to turn over like emails and different things. Yeah, there is no oversight that the Oversight Committee has over my husband or me. So why would you submit documents to an entity that has nothing to do with you? Oh, okay. Yeah, like, that's, they have oversight over the government and,

um, and ethics is the one that has oversight over the member. the spouse and so that's why you said earlier you would like let them let yeah I mean that's the thing it's like I get I remember like I I I've had maybe like I don't know five campaign finance uh complaints like they file a complaint every other day and it and they want the headline and then once those things get closed no one writes about the fact that there was nothing there and I'm pretty sure once whatever happens with

whatever Comer and them are trying to insinuate that nothing will be reported out of it because there's only the accusations that ever get picked up but I've never been fined I've never had any sort of like financial

issues what's the website if they want to donate to your campaign? Yeah, elhan omar.com I-L-H-A-N-O-M-A-R. Well, thank you for joining us. We wish you nothing but peace, prosperity, and safety. Thank you. Thank you, all.

They're really greatly priced.

They start like 1499. Shut up. Oh my, all right. All right. Girl good beauty. Dang. Continue on. Continue on.

Continue on. All right. I'm just trying to get a rush delivery. In other news. In other news real quick. So Kanye West, he was supposed to head on over to France, but that is not happening. Well, first there was a French interior

minister who was exploring legal avenues to stop Kanye from performing at a playing show that he had coming up in Italy. But before that could even happen, Kanye West got on his ex account and decided that he just was not going to go. Kanye posted to X after much thought and consideration, it is my sole decision to postpone my show and France until further notice. And then he says, I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends.

I take full responsibility for what is mine, but I don't want to put my fans in the middle of it. My fans are everything to me. Looking forward to the next shows to see you at the top of the globe. If this one thing Kanye are going to do is apologize to Jewish people over and over, but you haven't apologized to black people yet. I ever heard. That letter, remember that letter? He gave us a little,

we got a paragraph. We did? I don't remember that. Yeah, two, three lines. And I'm a gay fan. I know that. I think we just need some more. We ain't getting if he's going to keep apologizing to them. Yes, I agree with his statement. But yes, you heard a lot of people. Yeah. I wonder

if there was any international artists that ever some racist statements and then came here and performed because it seems like we don't care. We let anybody come in perform but the fact that France government is saying Nabi, that's different. Yeah. Well, he has other shows that are supposed to happen, you know, outside of this one

so we'll see what happens with those shows as well. And speaking of, you know, artist, so we talked about King Harris, the son of T.I. being pulled over by police and arrested in Georgia, right? Now there's new body cam footage that has been released and TI actually came to the scene

trying to just take King home. Let's take a listen to King Harris being pulled over by the police in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Do you want to stepping out and we're going to talk right here real quick, back here? About what? You can step out of the vehicle?

Step out for what? So there's a firearm in this vehicle. You're already speeding. You don't have anything on you. I'm separating you from the firearm. All right, are you going to get out of the car not? I don't tell me why.

I already told you what? Pennsylvania versus Mims. Are you getting out or not? You're not telling me why? If you do not get out of the car, you'll be arrested for obstruction. All right, if you do not get out of the car, you will be arrested for obstruction. Let me call my lawyer, man.

But they're not even under arrest right now. You're still just detained. Hey, Quinn, so I'm pulled over right now, and they're telling me I got to get out of the car for what reason? Because we're going to have a conversation back at the back of the car. You need to get out of the car. It doesn't matter why. But you are under arrest at this point, so you need to get out of your car right now. All right.

So it makes y'all feel tough. What happened at home with y'all? What y'all so upset for? All right. Who are we calling? American deli. There's a lot of us. American deli. American deli.

Now hang my phone up and lock my phone. All right. So what you guys are hearing is once they place King into the handcuffs and put him in the car, they allow him to call someone to come get his cars that are trying to give instructions. Now, while King is in that car, and we talked yesterday about the fact that, you know, they said that they wanted to remove from the car because there was a gun on the dashboard, but he refused to get out. T.I. arrives to the scene.

Let's take a listen to T.I. When he pulls up. Hey, how are his other going? Yeah, my son detained. Yes, sir. He's currently under arrest for obstruction. Okay. As well as a variety of other traffic charges.

Yeah, he was caught during 70 and a 45. He was instructed to step out of the vehicle because there was a firearm on the dashboard and we wanted to separate him from that. And he refused. Did he express his fear for safety? We got to be safe too. He's right there to be done. I understood. Yeah, I don't know.

So there's absolutely no way to resolve. No, he was told multiple times that he got a vehicle. He was even told that. According to Supreme Court case, while he was required to exit a vehicle when he was requested to do so by a law enforcement officer, Pennsylvania versus men. He said, you know, he doesn't have to, he doesn't want to. It wasn't until his lawyers called him back and said,

you need to get out of the car right now. We got out of the car to play somewhere around. I know people might say King should have just gotten out the car, but we all know how it feels to be black annoyed, which is black and paranoid in America. And King did say he didn't feel safe. So I understand that, but I also know that talking to cops like that ain't going well. But you got to know the law, too.

So if you're talking law, you got to know law, right? So if you're doing something which is a violation, which is doing seven into 45, you have a firearm in your car, right? And the police are saying, hey, we need you to step out the car because we want to separate you from the firearm. You weren't being arrested at that point. You would be entertained. Yeah, but you still, I can still understand his fear.

You know what I'm saying? You're in the car by yourself. You got a gun on the hood. You got two officers right there. I can understand his fear of not wanting to get out the car. Yeah. I can understand him saying he doesn't feel safe. And then why?

And then the second time he asked him, why am I being arrested when he was on the phone with whoever Quinn was? and he was like, oh, because we want to have a conversation for you on the back. Well, that sounded a little crazy. They quoted a law that said that he had to get out the car, and then you hear King's attorney basically tell him they're not lying to. Like, that is a law, so then he gets out the car. But yeah, they already told me he was under arrest.

Yes, at that point because he refused. Yeah, so do. I get paranoid just watching the video like that. Yeah, of course. We're just listening. The audio just sounds crazy. Yeah, especially when there's a firearm anywhere in the midst of anything that is police there. I got nervous too.

My pop's always used to say you can fight in the court, but you can't fight the police officer right then. The whole priority is to make it home, right? You make it home, we could fight, but if you can't make it home, we can't do anything about it. Yes. Yes, well, that is the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law.

Any accident, big or small, called Top Dog Law.

I want to salute to the students at Monroe College in Westchester in the Bronx. I had a great conversation with them yesterday about the radio business, getting into radio

and just telling them about radio and my story how I started with radio and what radio means to me and while radio is so important, a lot of the kids want to get in the industry game and, you know, they don't have too many people that come and speak to them about our industry. Did you tell them how DJ Clue talk about DJ? I did tell them about

DJ. Oh, my God. The story of me learning how to DJ. Yes. Yes, so we did. We did have that. About the apartment? What are you talking about apartment? What are you talking about? I like when Clu used to come up behind you and put his hand on top of your hand. That never happened.

And then put his pelvic into your back and say do chicka-jik-a like this. Jigga-jigga? And how it never used to be in effect when you used to say envy, envy, envy, envy. He was screaming. So again, that never happened. So salute to the Monroe University faculty and staff. Let me find out that we should talk about Clu, Clu, Clu! Oh, my goodness.

Dorothy, thank you so much. That did not happen. You stop that. Clue don't like when y'all do that. You don't like that. Why? Why? What's wrong? You got a positive note.

I'm giving him this problem for putting you on. He's your maker. You know how vampires have a maker? Clue is your maker. He bit you on the neck and you lived forever as a DJ. And he sucked your neck. The way to Wendy bite you. Oh.

I'm a zombie. You're a vampire. Oh, damn. You know what? Let's the problem. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.

Who bit you? Yo. Nobody. me ew. Okay. Y'all crazy. Rome. Anyway, speaking of Rome, I'm dropping my co-parenting memoir, y'all.

Sluhtar, our videographer, Nick, man. Nick is one of our digital guys. He was in my hometown. Charleston, South Carolina. You know, hometown is Mons Corner. But he was in Charleston, South Carolina. And he went to Hyman Seafood. Slukeh, all my folks at Hyman's Seafood, man.

So he bought one of those red cards back from Hyman's. You know, when you walk into Hyman's seafood, they give you the red car. and it says flip this card over for the good stuff. And it says persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men and women with talent.

Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, press on, has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. That is a quote from Calvin Coolidge, courtesy of hymage, man. salute to all my folks at Hyman.

Salute to Eli and Victor and Tobias, everybody at Hyman Seafood, man. That's what I said. And my folks over there. All right. I got a table in Hymane's. Dope. It's not my table,

but it says Charlemagne de Guy sat here. That's what I'm going to do. Breakfast club, bitches. We're all finished or y'all done? Boop. woke up. Wake you up. Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on IHeart Radio.
