And if you don't know who Bubba Wallace is, we just said NASCAR driver. He's the gentleman, remember he had his garage and they found a noose hanging in his garage He's definitely more than that
Starting point is 00:04:47 Goddamnit Remember the n***a with the noose But people remember the controversy sometimes Jesus Christ They not gonna remember he won the second cup or this that or the other I hope nobody ever introduced us Just based on our controversy I said he was a NASCAR driver first.

Oh my God. But Al has the National Action Network Summit this week, so he'll be here to talk about that. That's right, alright. Amongst other things.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. I'm sure we're talking about Senator Cory Booker. He was on that Senate floor for a long time, the longest in history. We'll talk about that It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news Good morning Morgan Good morning. You guys happy Tuesday. How y'all feeling? That's Wednesday. Sorry. What day is it?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Wednesday, you know, how y'all feeling y'all good. Let. What day is it? Wednesday. Wednesday. Wednesday. You know, how y'all feeling? Y'all good? Bless like a Holly favor. Good. Love to hear it. All right. So last night, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, he broke the record for the longest Senate speech ever clocking in 25 hours and four minutes. Now the New Jersey Democrats started his marathon speech at seven o'clock Eastern time on Monday night in protest of Trump's administration, his policies, and admittedly myself, I did not understand the gravity of what a marathon speech was, but I can assure you I do now. And I bet many of you guys do too after seeing the media coverage, right? So Booker, he is protesting President Trump's tariffs, his efforts and initiatives to dismantle
Starting point is 00:06:41 the Department of Education and other policies, saying the nation isn't is currently in crisis. Senator Booker was allowed to take extended pauses for questions from fellow Democrats and he also broke that record of course prior the record of the longest Senate speech ever. I'll get into who had the record before that but first let's take a listen to Senator Cory Booker's the audio of him breaking that record. Would the Senator yield for a question? Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no. I just want to tell you a question. Do you know you have just broken the record?
Starting point is 00:07:18 Do you know how proud this caucus is of you? Do you know how proud America is of you so the point of the the speech you said it was 25 hours 25 hours and four minutes so reportedly senator Booker he is currently recovering recovering right now and he says there's a good reason that he had to stand up to the Trump administration and that he knew he couldn't sit by and do nothing. He also spoke about how his smartwatch showed some concerning statistics while he was speaking. Let's take a listen to that audio. They're going to try to push through a bill that's going to gut $880 billion from Medicaid.
Starting point is 00:07:59 They're going to try to put forward to a bill that's going to give tax cuts to the wealthiest in our country, disproportionately trillions of dollars. It's outrageous. And we have got to try to stop them. This is really about folks leading from their hearts and deciding I'm not going to just let business as usual go on in my life. It gave me nothing on a sleep score because it's, I didn't, my heart rate was pretty damn high after about four or five hours, a little bit high that's concerning. So there are definitely some physical things. I'm feeling it now. Yeah, I'm not mad at it. You know, Corey showed some fight. He's doing something.
Starting point is 00:08:34 You know, he's at least acting like the times we are in aren't normal. And, you know, I still don't know what this accomplished, but if it energizes, you know, other people to do something, I'm all for it. Yeah, that was going people to do something. I'm all for it. Yeah, that was gonna be my question Like I said, I'm a supporter of anybody that's that's boycottin or whatever or taking a stand But what does it accomplish after 25 hours? Was it awareness was it to get people more people talking about it all of that with this with this new cycle tomorrow It won't even exist, you know people will be talking about it anymore So I'm just asking like so what is what should we do from here? I think it just energized other people to do something, you know, Cory chose to do something, you know, like he you said he took a stand
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah for 25 hours. Yeah So is no bathroom. It's no lunch. Like there's no nothing to do this for 25 hours straight Yeah, so in fact when it comes to the bathroom He said he fasted the day leading up to his speech and also you know stop he stopped eating I think it was like two days before and then he said the day before on Monday Sunday he stopped drinking to avoid things like going to the bathroom yeah but in a car if you want diaper just go ahead and tell us I don't believe that now he's 55 I'm 46 my bowels don't wait for nobody my urine don't wait for nobody there's no way he's 25 hours in nothing
Starting point is 00:09:45 Can't take a bathroom break. Yeah, I had a potty break now You might have been gonna take a body but I had a diaper come on a male diaper something like that Yeah, it's 25 hours. No, no Still over here like I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I need more details. Do you show there was no body breaks Morgan? He was able to take questions that's all I'm Do you show there was no body breaks Morgan? He was able to take questions. That's all I've been able to see in terms of breaks. But I do think it is fascinating that he broke the speech, the record for the speech, which
Starting point is 00:10:14 is the longest Senate floor speech was back, was 24 hours and 18 minutes back in 1957. That was Democratic Senator Storm Thurman of South Carolina, Charlemagne, who tried to stop the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1957. So look how far we've come in 67 years, right? Yeah, because ain't nobody else going through that. 25, 25 hours. But to your point, Charlemagne, I definitely- Yeah, I was going to say he wasn't allowed to use the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah. Yeah, no, you can't take a break or recess in those things. We got a diaper. But yeah, to your point, a catheter is, no, I'm just, I don't know. Yeah, you know you can't take a break or recess and those things Catheters no, I'm just I don't know but to your point. Um, Charlamagne. Yeah, I do think it raised some awareness I would have liked to see somebody step in, you know next and With the with another 24 or you know, but for it to end it's kind of like, you know what now? But yeah, and that was my question, you know, he did send out this mass text yesterday Cory Booker did shut up. I swear to God. I know No, but is what is what he wanted from this money? Okay? Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:18 Forget you thank you Election results at seven okay, what you got the you got the like be back with election results at seven. Okay. Hold on. So what you got to, you got the, like mine says, Lenard is Cory Booker. I just walked off the Senate floor. I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again, that's the one you got? Yeah, that's the same one.
Starting point is 00:11:34 So it's like church. It's a donation. Yeah. I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment. It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered. It will show that when Donald Trump chose to spread lies and so fair, we chose to come together, to work together and to rise together. If you support our movement of justice, yada yada. That's the reason to lock some doors. That's what he said.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Close some doors. I was up here talking for 25 hours, close some doors. I need 40,000 right now. That's how it ended. That's how the letter, that's how the note ended. Damn. Don't make me lock the door. Salute to Cory Booker. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, phone lines are wide open.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Jail, jail, jail! Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yo, what's up, Breakfast Club Slam League? Peace, peace, peace. What's up, bro? Hey, truck driver, what's going on, brother? Oh, you f***ing in me early in the morning. Pause. Hey, chill, chill, chill. Nah, man, look, I just wanted to say, man,
Starting point is 00:12:47 your boy is blessed, your boy is happy, I'm still alive. You know, I got robbed, my house got robbed and destroyed last week, man, but hey, I'm still alive, still going, man. I'm sorry to hear that, Black man. Where you from, bro? I'm from South Carolina, man, South Carolina. 843, when it was a home invasion? Yeah, I mean I wasn't home so I guess
Starting point is 00:13:07 it was just a regular burglary but them boy destroyed my whole apartment. You know, I was saving up man, them boy took my cash out of my house, took a few more things but hey man, I made it to South Carolina. At least you alive, you know what I'm saying? You know, I was just having a conversation
Starting point is 00:13:21 with one of the homies this morning. Actually me and Duval was talking this morning and I was just like, you know, we've lost all sense of purpose and what's important and nothing's more important than life. And you know, folks take their own lives and the lives of others for granted every day. So the fact that you, even though it went through this hard situation, you know, that you can get the material items back, your life can't
Starting point is 00:13:40 get that back. So I'm glad you're here, brother. Absolutely. Hey, that's real. I appreciate that. Hey charlotte may man Hey, can I get a book of course? Come on now? I sent that to charleston asap. That's that's home team. Did you have uh, did you have the alarm on your house, bro? I had no alarm man, and I just got my camera removed. So like I didn't have no camera no alarm So man, I pretty much got to get it back in my With this hard work, man. That's horrible brother. All right, brother. I'm sorry for that. Hold on again And I tell everybody out there don't get too content
Starting point is 00:14:11 I know a lot of times things get comfortable and you might forget to put your alarm on your house You might forget to check the windows and lock the doors Don't get comfortable cuz when you get comfortable, you never know what will happen and I tell that to everybody myself included Hello, who's this? Are you doing? What's up? He said America is the greatest country in the world and I beg the different because we got mass incarceration we got brothers that Imprisoned to have to take me for things that they didn't do
Starting point is 00:14:44 Because they have no choice. And a lot of people will say, you have choices that stand up and take a plea. If you have a case in front of you, you're looking at life, you're going to roll your dice. And 90% of the time, the black man goes before all the white Jews, he's going to get a harder sentence. And then we got most officers shooting unarmed black men. And we don't like to talk about race. So I don't know what Tim Scott, which is my soft line saying that we don't have race.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I'm an activist, and I see it and deal with it every day. And it's heartbreaking because they stand before a judge and whatever sentence is given to them, they got to deal with it. We got a man in office like the president. He doesn't deal with the laws himself. He's about the law. So how can we stand and say that America is a great place, but the man who's running the country is the president, the law doesn't apply to him. It's just wrong
Starting point is 00:15:36 and heartbreaking. But before I get off, I want to say this to Charlemagne. Charlemagne, you've done a lot for South Carolina. I appreciate all you've done, the donation and stuff. I'm not gonna get all into it, but I appreciate all you've done for South Carolina, because I know I'm from South Carolina. At NV, I've watched, I'm 65 years old, I've watched you grow and keep growing,
Starting point is 00:15:56 keep doing what you do. A lot of love to y'all. Thank you so much, brother. Thank you, brother. Have a blessed day. Really appreciate you, May. Get it off your chest, 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.
Starting point is 00:16:06 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy.
Starting point is 00:16:19 We wanna hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Good morning, it's your boy Lovie from the Bronx. Good morning, my Breakfast Club family. Good morning. Good morning. Big PP Lov Hello, who's this? Good morning, it's your boy Lovie from the Bronx. Good morning, my Breakfast Club family. Good morning. Big PP Lovie, what's happening? What's up, Lovie? That's my guy.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I just, I got a little pushback against my brother, Charlamagne, yesterday for the donkey of the day. As you guys know, you know I'm a single father. Yep. As one of my jobs, I work with Department of Children and Families. I'm an advisory to the fatherhood. I advocate for fathers.
Starting point is 00:16:46 And what you talked about yesterday is my point. Fathers don't have support groups. Fathers don't have resources. So that father yesterday could have been really in a position where he couldn't buy his kids a Happy Meal the next day. So I don't co-sign leaving your children anywhere, but I do know that we don't have the resources in the support groups.
Starting point is 00:17:07 That's what I said yesterday. He just probably don't, he don't agree with you going into the Yankee today. So I'm saying if we can identify the problem and support the fathers, maybe the fathers wouldn't be in this position. I have a group called Chop It Up, where we fill those voids.
Starting point is 00:17:22 One of the fathers can't be there, if your daughter got cheerleading, if your son got a basketball game, the fathers from the Chop It Up will fill that void. There need to be more groups like that. Shout out to my Chop It Up brothers. But there need to be more groups like that where we support fathers and not condemn them.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And that is a support group. And they have a group like that in Augusta. I forgot the name of it right now, but I said it yesterday. But yeah, you know, my said it yesterday, but yeah. My biggest point yesterday, man, you don't jeopardize your child's safety in the pursuit of employment, because there is no job on this planet
Starting point is 00:17:51 that would make up for something happening to your child. I don't care where you work, what job you potentially get, how much money you could be paid, nothing comes before the protection and safety of your kids. Yeah, no, I agree. I just didn't think he needed to get arrested for it. I just think that's a harsh,
Starting point is 00:18:05 a harsh for that man to get locked up and then have to pay for an attorney that he doesn't have obviously, that then has to have that on his record, which is gonna make it even more difficult for him to get a job. Yeah, he deserved Don Quixote today, absolutely. But for him to get arrested, like I said,
Starting point is 00:18:18 give him the resources. If it was something else, like if he was going to the club, anything else, I get it, but the fact that that man was trying to better his life, I understand. But child negligence laws are child negligence laws, there's nothing we can do about that. Absolutely, but you see the bigger problem is now,
Starting point is 00:18:32 the Department of Children and Families has gonna open up a case against him. So now, you see what I'm saying? So he gonna be fighting the uphill battle, but let him know that I am on the advisory board for the fatherhood engagement. So if he needs reach out to the Breakfast Club, I could tap into him, I could help him with the resources,
Starting point is 00:18:49 because that's what I do, I advocate for fathers in this position. And I also wanna say, all of that is great, but you do have to wait to see if this case is what it says it is on paper. Because there was some people who have appointed some things out to me yesterday, which I already had noticed, but I didn't say nothing, because say nothing because I will put that on the brother. What's that?
Starting point is 00:19:07 I mean, I'm just if you're job You got a two-hour job interview and you keep coming back and forth Remember there was a witness that said they saw the guy come back two or three times check on him So what job if you have two or three two hours and what job interview lets you come back and forth? Maybe city orientation that's not like an orientation like you already got this and what job interview lets you come back and forth? Mm-hmm. Maybe say they had to go to the bathroom and then they ran. I don't know. I got to know. I said orientation.
Starting point is 00:19:28 That sound like an orientation, like you already got the job and y'all get breaks in between. It don't sound like an interview. That's all I'm saying. Hello, who's this? Here, what's up, Envy? What's up, Trav?
Starting point is 00:19:38 That's hilarious. Hey, baby. How you doing, Shar? Peace, sis, what's happening? I'm just calling to tell everybody that the world's most amazing event is happening this weekend. J. Cole's Dreamville Fest is coming up. OK.

He is suing for human trafficking after he alleges that Diddy strapped a penis to his
Starting point is 00:22:32 face and made him parade around. Stop. Why did you clap? Because I heard a good one in a minute, but I don't believe that. But keep telling you. I heard a good news story in a minute. He said what? He strapped what?
Starting point is 00:22:43 He said that he alleges that Diddy strapped a penis to his face and made him parade around a party. And he says that in this party, Jay-Z, Beyonce, LeBron, and Gloria Estevan saw him in rare form because of this. Now- Was it Halloween? No, it was actually, he claims it was a 17th birthday party that did eat through for his son Christian, but there's some issues with the timeline and the description of the party, but we'll
Starting point is 00:23:08 get to that. Now, I want to point out that Jay-Z, Beyonce, LeBron James, Gloria Estefan, and they mentioned Jacob the jeweler in the lawsuit as well, but they're not being sued. They're just a part of the story set up, right? So this man says that this took place in April 2015 during a bidet party for Christian. He says that he was drugged. He alleges he was drugged and taken to Star Island in Miami for the big party. When he got there first, he stopped at Gloria Estevan's house because there's a couple stops on the road. And when he got there, he got to this mansion. He then
Starting point is 00:23:39 saw LeBron walking in a hallway in a bath towel. And he claims that Lebron looked at him and said y'all better do something about that because the man says that he was drugged and he was just so out of order that he looked crazy. And then the guy says he claims that he was taken to a secret tunnel in Diddy's mansion on Star Island and at that time he started regaining consciousness and he looks up and he notices that Jay-Z and Beyonce are there and he alleges that Beyonce saw him and said Performing? No they were there performing or they were just there? They were just there in the party
Starting point is 00:24:11 Okay Yeah So they saw him with the penis on his head? Yeah Yeah Allegedly Allegedly Yes and then he alleges that Beyonce saw him and said what's this? What's this all about?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Ah! Penis! Sorry That's right Lauren Lauren. Go roll. No. Oh my God. Why is there a half naked white man with a penis mask standing here in front of me? That's what according to him, Beyonce said. Well, that's why she would have known if she'd been to a Diddy party before.
Starting point is 00:24:37 That was her first time at a Diddy party. Yeah, you know. Oh man, go ahead. Now, again, remember this is the second stop. So after this, now he's in he's in the Diddy's Mansion and allegedly he's being paraded around with this penis mask and he says that he was taunted and humiliated He said that he was then stripped naked and they put him in a small thong Bikini bottom and a black leather mask with a rubber dam forcibly inserted and zipped clothes over his head
Starting point is 00:25:04 He was made to wear that as well. Sounds like some sort of like sex toy. And then, oh yes, and then he says that there was a locking sex device that was put on the mask that protruded from his mouth. Y'all know, can y'all get that? So he was awake by this time, right? He just couldn't take it off. Yeah, he said that he was still like, kind of out of it, but he had began to regain consciousness
Starting point is 00:25:27 from whatever it was that he was given allegedly drugs by. So then he says that he was then degraded and he was made to do non consensual sexual acts. Now here's the issue with this. So the 17th birthday party April 2015 did happen for Christian Combs who is Diddy's son. But the way that this man describes this party, because he said it was a freak off, this isn't consistent with the way that the freak also describes described in all of the federal indictments. Also, too, he mentions that he saw Jay-Z and Beyonce.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Jay-Z was publicly in New York on April 1st, 2015. He was at a title speaking event. Crazy. You need to go look it up. I had to look up a penis mask. I didn't put a penis mask on. Wow. That's not the internet. That's your phone album. No. That is perfect for Halloween. Yeah. I'm going to tell you something. All of these civil cases are going to be the reason Diddy walks on his criminal case because none of these civil cases sound believable anymore. Not at all. And folks are starting to get- have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you
Starting point is 00:26:27 why is my cat not here and i go in and she's eating my lunch or if hypnotism is real you will use a suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control what's inside a black hole black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe well we have answers for you in the new iHeart original podcast, Science Stuff.

General Mabel Walker Willebrand is becoming increasingly desperate in forcing prohibition. She was a lone warrior. I mean how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent, even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more.

The host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella. Which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a mini-series, Totally Nostalgic, a four-part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:29:25 It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K, 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV3. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us.
Starting point is 00:29:46 It was everything. Tune in to Locatora Radio Season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Diddy story fatigue. And when you hear so many unbelievable sounding stories, you start to question everything. So it's going to be very, very tough to find jurors who aren't biased in some way, shape or form.
Starting point is 00:30:11 But not only that, what lawyer is taking it without doing their due diligence? Like the fact that it was easy to find out that Jay wasn't even there and was in New York during that time. That means these attorneys are not doing their due diligence and taking these cases. And like you said, that's going to be the reason why people don't believe what's really going on. Yeah, something is going on. Now spokesperson for LeBron told TMZ because they broke the story that this is false and that he doesn't even mayor a report. This doesn't even mayor a report response. A basic internet search shows that LeBron, what LeBron was doing on April of 2015, he was playing
Starting point is 00:30:44 basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers and was never in Miami. Now... Nobody does intelligence? And they got him walking down the hallway with a bath towel. Yes. Talking about what's going on here. Y'all need to do something about that. Yep. Crazy. Yep. And then Jay-Z's attorney, Alex Spiro, he doubled down on what TMZ was able to
Starting point is 00:31:03 easily piece together from Google. He said, Mr. Carter wasn't in Florida at the time to witness this incident. He was engaged in easily findable, easily findable public activities that proved that he was not at this event. This is more nonsense that just erodes the trust in our justice system. And Gloria Estevan, her rep says that, you know, Gloria strongly denies the allegations the property in question was never a home where Gloria even resided, but it was rather a house they owned for family use.
Starting point is 00:31:31 There were no parties thrown at the property between 2012 and 2019. We have all necessary documentation to support these facts and will provide it in court. That's why in a way they need to make it to where civil cases can't be filed until after the criminal case is complete because it muddies the waters. Like I said earlier, you know what I'm saying? These civil cases, you know, don't sound believable anymore. So it makes you question everything, including the criminal case.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And that's some good drugs. If you can wake up and think you see LeBron, Beyonce, and Jay-Z. And you thought you had a penis on your face? What? That's some drugs. Hey now. I'll take it a step further. I think these attorneys should be able to get some type of charges put on them.
Starting point is 00:32:11 The fact that they're not doing due diligence and you ruin somebody's name or you could muddy somebody's name, muddy somebody's deal. But there's no penalty. And there's no penalties or nothing. They're messing it up for the criminal attorneys. 100%. Well, we talked about this or I said we, I be talking to myself. I talked about this on the latest
Starting point is 00:32:26 The podcast I actually do But on the podcast I was saying how on diddy side for the criminal situation Even though there's that video still right this if I'm a juror and I keep seeing all these crazy accusations and things being thrown out Maybe I start to be like, oh wait a minute that video is being thrown out, right? They can't use that video they were going back and forth trying to figure it out But they the issue was that they said they didn't have the original video But then remember prosecutors came out and said no, we do have a recording of the original video You're a juror to that point
Starting point is 00:32:58 That's what I'm saying the whole time if you see all of these different cases get thrown out and all of this stuff Starts to sound unbelievable when you sit in there, well, why should I believe any of this? In the criminal trial. Yeah. I'm just saying about how crazy I probably sound to my videographer interrupting myself. That's how crazy it is. One of them actually. All right. Well, that is good.
Starting point is 00:33:16 The latest with Laura. Now when we come back, we have front page news and the NASCAR driver, Bubba Wallace will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NvJeselarius, Charlamagne the guy.
Starting point is 00:33:31 We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up Morgan? Yeah. So let's get back into it. Uh, voters in Wisconsin and Florida headed to the polls yesterday and what many are calling a national political power struggle. Not to mention it's like getting a temp check on the American people, you know, especially
Starting point is 00:33:47 those who voted for Trump. In Florida, voters decided on two pivotal vacant House seats. Republican Jimmy Patronus is projected to be the winner in Florida's first congressional district. He defeated Democrat Gaye Valamant in a special House election for the seat that was vacated by former Representative Matt Gaetz. And that win gives the Republicans a razor thin margin in the U.S. House of Representatives. Also in Florida, Republican Randy Fine is projected to be the winner in the sixth congressional district. He defeated Democrat Josh Whale in the special House
Starting point is 00:34:21 election for the seat that was vacated by former Representative Michael Waltz. Again, that gives the Republicans just a slight edge in the House of Representatives. So in Wisconsin, a state Supreme Court election was held and liberal Susan Crawford is projected to be the winner of the open seat of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Crawford defeated Republican Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schmiel, and it was actually on record to be the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history with both sides spending an estimated $100 million in their campaigns. Sheesh. So that's an interesting way of looking at things that that seems like this seat switched in Wisconsin That's a win for Dems and of course in Florida the GOP seems to maintain their edge Moving on to the house
Starting point is 00:35:16 Republican leader in the house is downplaying president Trump's thoughts on serving a third term now Trump has said there are methods for making it happen But there is a long way to go as it is early in his administration. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson said the Constitution would have to be amended and that's a high bar adding that a lot would have to happen for Trump to run again but he could see why people would want him to run again. So let's take a listen to House Speaker Mike Johnson. He recognizes the constitutional limitations and I'm not sure that there's a move about to amend the constitution.
Starting point is 00:35:47 There's a constitutional path. You have to amend the constitution to do it and that's a high bar. You know, we take him at his word. I understand why so many Americans do wish that he could run for a third term because he's accomplishing so much in this first 100 days that they wish it could go on for a much longer. We shouldn't even be entertaining this. We're talking about authoritarian rule as if it's normal.
Starting point is 00:36:07 We're talking about something as unconstitutional as running for a third term as if it's normal. And that's literally how those things get normalized. And it is unconstitutional. As you mentioned, Charlemagne, serving three terms as president is prohibited by the constitution under the 22nd Amendment. And I know people have been talking about different ways that it can happen.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Of course, the president has said there are ways of making it happen. But, you know, I also found out that if he does run as, let's say, VP and whoever he runs with is elected president and that president steps down. Well, the 12th Amendment then states that he would be ineligible to serve again. So, yeah, I read that yesterday. He'd be ineligible to serve. He'd be ineligible to serve again because of what's amended in the 22nd Amendment, right? Yes, absolutely. Well, between the 22nd and the 12th, there's no third term period. So yeah, just something to watch. So when Trump says, you know, there
Starting point is 00:37:00 are ways of making it happen, I'm curious to know what those ways are, when the Constitution seemingly is ironclad in this. Yeah, the way I ask a question, I know it has happened before where president, you know, did a third. So how did that president do it before? Because they amended it after. Oh, they amended it after. Okay. Yeah, this was prior to that amendment. Absolutely. Elsewhere in the House, I think it's interesting that House Speaker Mike Johnson suffered an interesting loss involving his
Starting point is 00:37:23 own party yesterday. This after nine Republicans joined all Democrats in going against a procedural rule that would have killed off an effort to allow new parents to vote remotely around the birth of their child. Now the vote also blocked votes on Republican priorities to limit power of federal judges. Johnson said the vote remains, the vote means that the House can no longer further seek action on the floor this week. A Florida Republican representative, Anna Paulina Luna, she left the conservative House Freedom Caucus when her colleagues would not back the bipartisan measures. So it does look like there is a bit of a shift in Congress. People are starting to, I guess, stand on what it is,
Starting point is 00:38:00 they believe, a little bit. So bringing things home to you guys in New York, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is among those reacting to the DOJ's decision to seek the death penalty for the accused CEO killer, a United Health Care CEO killer Luigi Mangione. Adam seems to be on board with the death penalty. Let's take a listen to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. You intentionally went in and you took someone's life. It was a horrific act and whatever process they put in place, respect that process. So attorney general Pam Bondi is ordering federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty. The 26 year old Ivy league grad allegedly shot and killed Brian Thompson
Starting point is 00:38:41 on Manhattan sidewalk in December. And Bondi called the killing pre-meditated cold-blooded assassination that shocked America meanwhile man Joni's attorney says the move shows that the Justice Department is moving from the Dysfunctional front is moving from the dysfunctional to the barbaric. What do you guys think death penalty for Luigi man? Joni that was a scary time in New York when all of that went went down. I mean, you know Destiny is not a matter of chances, it's a matter of choice. Luigi made a choice, and I don't know how I feel about the death penalty. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I will say, if the death penalty is in play, this would be the perfect person for it, right? He actually killed somebody, he was a vigilante, he did it on his own, he did it damn near broad daylight, in public, he would be the perfect candidate for it, right? Yeah, I just never know how I feel about the death penalty because I don't know if that's a choice that other humans should be able to make. That eye for an eye type of thing. How about some eyes life? Yeah, throw him under the jail forever, you know what I mean? But I don't know
Starting point is 00:39:41 how I feel, I never know how I feel about the death penalty. Whenever I hear about, you know, somebody getting the death penalty, I never know how I feel. I never know how I feel about the death penalty. Whenever I hear about somebody getting the death penalty, I never know how I feel about it. But to Andy's point, this is such a blatant case, right? Like this isn't a, we not gonna look back 20 years from now and be like, oh, you got the wrong guy. You know? Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And I know we probably run out of time, but I wanted to mention that the Target boycott is seemingly working, guys. So after Target decided to roll back their policies on DEI, retail brew reports foot traffic in the store is seemingly working, guys. So, after Target decided to roll back their policies on DEI, Retail Brew reports foot traffic in the store has dropped 5.7% year over year from March 17th. Last week it dropped 7.1% and it's been dropping 6.2% for the last eight weeks. With Easter around the corner, you would think the retailer would see a bit of an increase,
Starting point is 00:40:17 but no, sales continue to drop. They also reported a 3.1 loss in the fourth quarter of last year. Retailers like Costco, who have kept their DEI policies, have saw an increase of 5.2% in foot traffic in sales year over year. Costco also reported 13 consecutive weeks of increases. So it looks like go ahead and continue to keep your foot on their necks. In terms of the boycott, it is working
Starting point is 00:40:41 and the retailers are feeling it. Well, Target praying for a resurrection around Easter. Okay, they need they hope in the rise from whatever, you know, current condition that they're in. Hey, I don't know between the tariffs and Target. Yeah, it's giving hunker down. But that's your front page news. Follow me on social at Morgan Media for more news coverage.

All right, when we come back, Bubba Wallace will be joining us. We're gonna kick it with Bubba Wallace when we come back. He's also bringing around, he's also bringing the CEO of the Robin Hood app, Steve Quirk,
Starting point is 00:41:18 and we'll talk to them next. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody, it's DJ NVH's Jess Hilarious Charlamagne Naga. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. We have Bubba Wallace and Steve Quirk. Welcome fellas.
Starting point is 00:41:35 What's going on? How you doing? Another day. Man, Bubba, how does it feel? I know you get this all the time, but how does it feel being the first black NASCAR driver? I wouldn't say the first, the first in a while. Okay, oh you weren't the first? No, when Scott was he opened the door for all of us and so I've been the first to win
Starting point is 00:41:52 since him. Gotcha. How long ago was him? I was a 60s. Okay, yeah. Right? So it's been a really cool journey, lots of ups and downs. Being in the Cup series for eight years now has been, I've learned a lot, I've grown a
Starting point is 00:42:05 lot, I've got a couple gray hairs in my beard from I guess every year that I've been in that, I'd say every race I've been in the cup series, but it's humbling. Knowing that there's not many of us there, but I'm leading the way for a generation that is paying attention, you have a following and a demographic that wants to be a part of this sport, it's cool to be at the front of that How did you get into race car driving? Started when I was a kid and go-karts. My dad had a go-kart. He raced a couple times. He flipped all three times I have yet to flip in my career But my my dad got us started and I invited us to come out already told us to come out and watch a family
Starting point is 00:42:41 Friend of ours just sitting in the stands became a fan that way bought a go-kart and went racing where the name Bubba come from my sister. Mm-hmm. Yes We don't know why she said she didn't have a speech impediment. She just decided to call me Bubba So she's five years older than me And it's stuck ever since Well, it was confusing at the racetrack right because I'm a junior So hey Darryl my dad would turn around and they were trying to get in touch with me so we were just like let's let's go with Bubba it makes it easier and it's fun everybody's a Bubba. Yeah especially now. What's up Bubba? Yeah. So you embrace the
Starting point is 00:43:16 responsibility of being you know are you the only black man at the cup level? Yes sir. So you embrace the responsibility of being that person at the forefront to inspire the next generation Yeah, yeah, we got we got some youth coming up we got Roger Caruth coming up through in the truck series and it's it's fun being a mentor to him and the others coming through and yeah, I sense a Responsibility there to you know carry myself the right way But also show that I'm here to stay and make a name for myself as well.
Starting point is 00:43:45 So, you know, the only way to create boundaries is to cross them and figure out, you know, what to do, what not to do. So I've made some mistakes along the way but it's shaped me and helped me to become who I am today. And so, you know, off track, on track stuff has been phenomenal. I can say this whole year started out really, really strong for us and nothing's better than winning. So it's been a while since I've been in victory lane, but not from a lack of effort What part of North Carolina are you from? Charlotte?
Starting point is 00:44:09 Charlotte, okay, that was big that was big Yeah, so like I grew up 15 minutes from the race track Oh, so all the race teams were all within a 30-minute radius of each other Well, I was gonna ask how difficult was it because coming up there wasn't too many of us in the stands I'm sure there's not too many of us in the stands now but there was way less in the stands so how difficult was it I'm sure you had to face racism other drivers, other teams and how difficult was fighting through that? Honestly my mom was my parents both my parents but my mom was you know the driving force behind of just never giving the media any negative
Starting point is 00:44:42 to talk about right well I failed at that a couple of times. But she was always just keeping me aware of said scenarios, right? And for me though, I grew up in a well diverse community, didn't see color, still don't, and it just didn't matter to me. So when I jumped into it, there was, I think two of us that were of color and Benny Mingo, he actually works at our race shop now, so it's crazy how he works on our race cars. But it was just the two of us, and didn't bother me one bit. Growing up, the higher you got in the rankings, the better you got, the faster the cars. I was the only one, and still didn't bother me.
Starting point is 00:45:18 All I cared about was winning, and it sounds like a very just cliche, typical straight line answer, but I didn't give a damn, right? And still don't because the other day were all human beings That's that's how I view each other and we just have to be a little bit darker than than others and that's okay But if you treat each other with respect then you demand that respect back and if they can't give that back then they're not the people For you, so that's how I've kind of viewed life and have enjoyed life. No matter what's thrown at us I agree with that, you know when you you, but you being a biracial, right? Whenever you feel, when people come at you for being black,
Starting point is 00:45:49 do you ever feel like, well, I'm white too. Half way there. Yeah, I mean, you have to kind of balance both hats really. You know, I have a black side of my family, I have a white side of my family, and so. Whose food is better? Ha ha ha! That's a good question. And where Who's food is better? That's a good question. And where do you go for Thanksgiving?
Starting point is 00:46:07 That's a good... I like to stay home now. I ain't got to do nothing. Damn, you put me on the spot. I don't think it's that difficult. You know. You know what side it is. I'm going to have to go with my sister.
Starting point is 00:46:15 I'm going to have to go with my sister, the black side of family. Yeah, she named you Bubba. That food is definitely good. No, I think just trying to just walk both paths can be tiring at some times because I just want to walk down the middle, but it's just never that easy sometimes. Now before we get to you dealing with Steve, I want to ask how many people come up to you and try to race you in the street when you have a drive? Does that happen a lot?
Starting point is 00:46:40 No, because I have tent on my window so you can't see who's driving. And do you ever get crazy on the street sometimes? No, I don't waste time though. So if we got to drive to the grocery store, I know how to get to the grocery store, but I'll plug in a GPS to see which way is the fastest way and to see if I can get there faster. Have you ever gotten a speed ticket? Of course. Really?
Starting point is 00:46:59 Actually, it's been a long, long time and I can say I've been pulled over 20 20 something times and only got like three tickets. That's nice. It's nice the white side Steve court with Robin Hood. So what's your relationship with Robin Hood? It's just starting out. So excited for the partnership that we just announced. Be a part of 2311 and sponsoring myself and Corey Hyam in a couple cup races this year. So hats off to everybody at Airspeed on the marketing side of things to bring in new sponsors to the sport. So this will be the first time that Robin Hood is a part of our sport in this sort of
Starting point is 00:47:43 capacity and it's special. So it's fast paced. I hope they can keep up. Yeah, it's our first national sponsorship of sports. We have a couple NBA teams that we sponsor. People that don't know what Robin Hood is and what they do. Yeah, yeah. Let me quickly explain. So Robin Hood Basic, we have about 25 million customers and Robin Hood is an investing app. What we've been largely credited with is bringing 25 million young, very diverse, first-time investors into the marketplace.
Starting point is 00:48:16 In the US, we're sitting close to 60% of US households now are invested in the market. That's the envy of the world. It's like 20% in Asia or Europe or other places. What we did is just remove the friction. If you have $5, if you have $10, you can invest. We removed all the friction, made it very easy for people to have access to the greatest wealth creation vehicle in the world. As important as it is for you to make money, you have to put that money to work.
Starting point is 00:48:47 And we've made that really accessible for young people. Yeah, my kids have Robin Hood and it's very accessible. They know how to use it, they invest in it. They're not investing a lot of money, but $5, $10, it's a start for them at a young age. But it used to, like the whole system used to be kind of really kind of inaccessible for young people because you had to wait until you got, you know, this amount of money to
Starting point is 00:49:10 be able to do it. And so really by the time you got around to investing, it was a little bit too late. The second component that we're really, really strongly focused on is it's one thing to give them access, but it's another thing to make sure that they do it in a way that's going to be sustainable and that they're going to have a good investing career. So we do a lot in the way of education, both within our site and the app, but also we go out to universities.
Starting point is 00:49:35 We have a bunch of university programs where we help people understand the importance of doing this in a suitable manner. And then we give them access to all of this and provide them with curriculum. And then we have a newsletter that goes out every morning to, we have 40 million people subscribe, basically describes the day's news and then if there's something within that news that could be an investable opportunity for them. All right, we have more with Bubba Wallace and the Chief Brokerage Officer of Robinhood, Steve Quirk. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, NVHS Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with NASCAR driver, Bubba Wallace, and the Chief Brokerage Officer of Robinhood app, Steve Quirk. Charlamagne? What's your vetting process, Bubba, when it comes to who you choose to take on as a sponsor?
Starting point is 00:50:24 Or is it just the money? If you're willing to pay, let's go. That's what happens. What's your vetting process, Bubba, when it comes to who you choose to take on as a sponsor? It's just the money. If you're willing to pay, let's go. That's what happened. I mean, hey, I come from, I remember, man, we were doing about anything just to get anybody to spend a buck, right? And so it's a tough sport to be a part of and want to invest into. And for new companies to come into the sport and not know which ways up
Starting point is 00:50:45 Down left or right. I mean I would be hesitant as well And so and taking a risk on a kid that's trying to find his way throughout the cup series But I feel like now we've established ourselves established our name You know within the race team within the sport It makes it easier for for companies that want to be in part of our journey And yeah, you got you're associated with MJ, so. Yeah, now, how is that? MJ's a co-owner, so how is he as a co-owner?
Starting point is 00:51:08 Do y'all speak much? Do y'all talk much? Do y'all play one-on-one basketball? How is it? Not the basketball piece. He taught me if I know I'm gonna go into something and lose, then I don't compete at all. So he won't jump into a race car, I won't jump on the basketball court. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:51:22 And so, MJ is super involved. and it might be a shock to a lot of people and I think it was for me to start because you think of somebody as big as MJ that can be doing anything else that he wants with his time and his money. He has a strong passion for NASCAR. He's been a fan. He's watched even before he became a team owner. He was a kid going to the races, Darlington, Talladega, Charlotte. He was going all these places with his family growing up. So he's always had a strong knack for NASCAR and what it provides. So now him being invested, it's game over. He's watching each and every weekend, whether he's here or overseas, whatever
Starting point is 00:52:00 he's doing. I have a text before and after the race every weekend. What does he say? I lost some money betting on you. No it's always encouraging. He's always he's a glass half full guy no matter how rough the day gets he's always searching for the positives and so it's helped me grow up a lot in a short amount of time. What about you Steve? What made y'all want to say you know at NASCAR is where we want to spend our money? Well if we look at our customers, they're very into sports But they're if we just look at a Robin Hood versus a non Robin Hood customer. They're four times more likely
Starting point is 00:52:30 They're into motorsports particularly NASCAR. And so this gives us broad exposure You know nationally as well, which I think is very positive and and they just um, you know They're as passionate about their sports as they are about their investing. So they tie together pretty nicely Got you. Was it hard for you to get sponsorships, Bubba? Because you always hear the stories about Serena Williams, even though she was dominant in tennis for a period of time. Her am being it was hard for them to get sponsorships.
Starting point is 00:52:54 People just didn't feel like they were marketable. Was it the same for you? Absolutely. We look at the sport and the personalities that you have with the inside of our sport and there's a select few. And I feel like I'm near the top of the list of just being personable and likeable despite all the BS that goes on. You know I'm going to tell you how I feel and I feel like a lot of us inside of our
Starting point is 00:53:20 sport are very straight edged and cookie cutter. And that's okay. You don't want to show your true colors and show your cards. You keep that in your personal life. That's fine. But for me, I've always just been trying to be super relatable to everybody I meet and make a lasting impression to eventually have the investments come in and the funding come in.
Starting point is 00:53:41 And it seemed like nothing we ever did would work. And for whatever reason that is, it was what it was, but it never stopped me from pursuing what I wanted to do and fighting hard. Now I look at the people that potentially said, no, we're good and just laugh because we're in a good spot now. Who's the toughest driver you ever faced and why? In NASCAR, is it like that? As a basketball, you can say this is the toughest opponent.
Starting point is 00:54:04 In hockey, this is the toughest. Baseball, this is the toughest opponent. In hockey, this is the toughest. Baseball, this is the toughest team. It's different. It's different in regards of the tracks that we go to. You know, for example, Denny had won this weekend, and this is at Martinsville, which is one of his best tracks. And so when you show up to said track,
Starting point is 00:54:23 it's like, who's the guy to beat? That's how you look at it. So it's always different throughout the throughout the circuit and throughout the year. So I can't pinpoint it to one who's the biggest ass. Oh, that also changes, too. Depends on the mood that we're in. What's your favorite track? Favorite track? Martin'sville is one of them. So Bristol's coming up here in two weeks.
Starting point is 00:54:46 That's another good one. Mostly all the short tracks. But also the ones we've won at too. So, Talladega and Kansas are good. Y'all get scrapping sometimes. Y'all fight on those tracks sometimes. Yeah, yeah. And it's, you know, you feel like you've done wrong because I go back to the respect thing. You show up with respect.
Starting point is 00:55:02 You man respect and return. And sometimes you feel like you're shorted or you're done wrong and for whatever reason you know when I'm done wrong and I retaliate it's it's the world's end and all I'm doing and when I've when I was growing up you know being taught is you just get even yeah so I'm just getting even like oh okay we're good we can shake hands after the fact we're good now but massive deal yeah I get suspended after y'all get into a fight because I remember you got into a fight a couple of years ago Did you get suspended? Is there any penalties anything? No? Well, the the rules are constantly changing
Starting point is 00:55:36 you know, I got suspended for right rear hooking somebody which basically a pit maneuver and Rightfully so because it's happened to me twice throughout my career. Explain what that is. I'm lost. Like a pit maneuver, like somebody turns into you on your right rear, spins you out. And like it's the opposing car that you've done it to is you just turn them right head
Starting point is 00:55:59 on into the wall. Almost like a T-bone. Yeah, kind of. And so versus like hook them in in the left rear, like they kind of just go spinning throughout the infield and kind of get it gathered back up. So, it's happened to me twice in my career. And it's the most, I'd say one of the most disrespectful things you can do. And I found myself stooped down to that level and commit the same deal, but the guy had
Starting point is 00:56:27 just come up to me and run me up in the wall and was like, oh, we're just going to go on about our day. No, no, no, no. Oh, wow. They said that you did it on purpose. That's what they say. So people are going to always talk and have their opinions and it is what it is. But I regret doing that.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I can say that truthfully. And we've moved on past that but as far as fighting no because one it's we're entertainment business and so it's good for entertainment but they're quick to jump in so you have to be methodical about how you want to go about it. Isn't it a matter of life and death when you out there at freaking a hundred plus miles per hour? It is our safety's come a long way so you don't think of it in that sort of fashion.
Starting point is 00:57:07 But you know, all it takes is one wrong move. Do you want to race Denny Hamlin? Do I want to? Do you want to? Yeah. Okay. He was asked about you. He asked what you need to do to beat him and when you're first racing nearly two years.
Starting point is 00:57:21 And he said, you have a decision to make if you need to make more speed on a corner exit you must sacrifice something else somewhere you can't just put the throttle down and get more speed on exit it's an approach thing maybe you need to slow up your center a little bit more do you agree with him? Yeah do you know what that means? No. That's why you're here. I was in grass outside earlier. She was pulling sacks. That's all.
Starting point is 00:57:45 We made them right there. Words for a word. Now you have to explain what that means. I got to explain. So that's just attacking the corners. So the exit of the corner versus the center of the corner versus the entry of the corner. There's ways to approach every corner differently. And it goes back to the experience.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Denny's been at these racetracks for 20 years, as to where I'm figuring it out still. So he kind of has a better feeling for what to expect on entry and center to set him up for a better exit as to where I'm just like, I'm gonna send it off in there and figure it out. So it definitely takes a lot of time and a lot of seat time, a lot of just skill and management and having the right people around you.
Starting point is 00:58:22 All right, we got more with Bubba Wallace when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace and the Chief Brokerage Officer of the Robin Hood app Steve Quirk. Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Quirk for you Bubba and I want to ask Steve this too. What do you consider the most to you? Why is my cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real, you will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. What's inside a black hole?

It's the 1920s, prohibition is in full swing and a lot of people are mysteriously dying. Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrand is becoming increasingly desperate in forcing prohibition. She was a lone warrior.
Starting point is 01:00:19 I mean, how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent, even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does, arguably a little too well.

Which is just a very extra way of saying, a podcast. We're launching this season with a mini series, Totally Nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos
Starting point is 01:01:54 who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory honestly was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV3. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to Locatora Radio Season 10.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. ...putting in the work and putting in the effort. And it seemed like the last two years, the previous two years, it didn't matter what I did. It kind of ended up in the same results. And so this year, I kind of didn't flip the script.
Starting point is 01:02:45 I said we're gonna start working out better, start eating better, doing all the necessary things, paying attention to my sleep, all these types of things, and the results are starting to show up quicker. And so the rewarding thing is knowing that you can pour your heart and soul into something, and when it doesn't work out the way you want it, then a lot of self-doubt creeps in. Because you take it, for me, I take it on my shoulders, like, well damn, I guess I'm
Starting point is 01:03:13 not good enough. But then you see others that are doing half the job, but getting it done. And so it's like, well damn, what's the scenario I need to put myself in? Well, I think it comes down to just trusting the process. And I've realized that, and I've said this recently a lot that your timeline is gonna be either quicker or slower than mine and that's okay that's how we're built. We have to appreciate the the scenario that we're in for ourselves and work on self and continuing to do that because at the end of the day it's all you got.
Starting point is 01:03:37 What about you Steve? What's the benefit of a like what's the rewarding aspect of the work that Bubba's doing in the racing world if he's not winning for Robin Hood? I would say it, well it starts really with the think about Robin Hood and the mission and you know what we're all aligned on which is helping a younger, more diverse group of people have access to financial services and what that creates and that's why we're very aligned with 2311 and of course course, I can say this, because I'm a little older, this is a very impressive young man here.
Starting point is 01:04:10 I mean, extremely impressive. And we're completely aligned in seeing success, not only from 2311, but of course from Bubba. I was gonna ask, when you get into those car wrecks, right? You get a call from MJ and he's not like, bubba another car. How much of those cars cost you their place? And do you fix those cars or you just totally get a new car?
Starting point is 01:04:31 It's circumstantial. If you cause the wreck and it becomes like a repeated offense, then it's like, all right, what are we doing? But a lot of the wrecks that I've been a part of, I can truthfully say it hasn't been my fault. We're just caught up in somebody else's mess. But at the end of the day, you do find yourself, if you do find yourself in somebody else's mess constantly, then it starts to deter to back to you because it's like, quit putting
Starting point is 01:04:54 yourself in that scenario. Well, it's easy to blame like, well, again, it wasn't my fault. It doesn't matter. Like run better, run closer up front or try a different type, better center for a better exit. The corners. The corners, you know? So it all comes back to self at the end of the day and what you can do to be better, to not put yourself in said scenarios.
Starting point is 01:05:16 But yeah, it can get annoying sometimes, at least not for me because I'm not paying the bill. How much are those cars to replace? Ballpark? I don't know, what we're up to 500 hundred? Six hundred thousand per car. And how many cars do you have in the store just in case? We're only allowed I think like seven to eight on rotation. How many have you wrecked? This year? Like two? This year? I've been getting wrecked for 22 years. That's a necessary expense I I would think, right? It's a lot.
Starting point is 01:05:46 That's why you want to have good partners to foot the bill. So thanks, Robin Hood. Yeah, thanks, Robin Hood. You know, I wanted to ask, you played a big role in getting the Confederate flag banned from NASCAR. How did other drivers who didn't want it banned treat you after it was banned? I necessarily can't say that they didn't want it banned, so I didn't really know their viewpoint on it.
Starting point is 01:06:04 But I think we all came together as one, as in unison, and I think that's all you could ask for in sports, but for the ones that necessarily didn't want it banned, they've never come forward or shown their displeasure. So I can honestly say the sports has been way better without it. So hold on, how do you know they haven't shown their displeasure?
Starting point is 01:06:22 Because there was a news found in your garage back in 2020, was that before or after? Oh my God. Well, that's, I think we're all human enough to, you know, out of the drivers world, you know, if you have a problem with it, just kind of keep it to yourself and move on. And I'm not treated differently, or I just, I don't speak to said drivers,
Starting point is 01:06:39 but I haven't had any instances where the drivers have come at me for, you know, removing the Confederate flag It's it's everybody's been in support of it and we've moved on so it is what it is Did they ever get to the bottom of the new sting and find out who did it or no? Yeah It was it was there before we got there years before we got there And it's just coincidence that I had that garage So like it's it's wild. It's wild
Starting point is 01:07:01 So, it's wild. They knew he was coming. It's wild. So, you know, it is still a topic of discussion to this day. It's wild. You should see my Twitter mentions. Like, Bubba finished third. Was there a noose? You know, it's wild that that is still going about it.
Starting point is 01:07:20 But no, it was there before we even got there. And just the one in a million, a quadrillion coincidences that I had that garage stall. And in fact, it was tied in a fashion like that. It could have been this small, it doesn't matter. And so it is what it is, and we've moved on from it. And it sucks that the sport was put in that situation, that I was put in that situation,
Starting point is 01:07:41 our team was put in that situation. But we've learned a lot about who we are as a sport and who we are as competitors and that's all you can ask for. Did it take a toll on you emotionally? Oh those years or two after that was rough, you know, because I went from being one of the most, I wouldn't say the most like drivers, but favorable drivers, you know, but now it's just been just been the the booze and stuff and that's okay because it's sports and I'm a Big, you know, I love going to college football games, Tennessee and college basketball games And I'm not a person that booze other teams because I'm kind of in the sports world myself And it's just kind of seems childish but fans do what they want So booing is a part of sports in general, but it was the next week after Talladega,
Starting point is 01:08:26 it was like a light switch and it was like, whoa. We're like, holy shit, I didn't ask for this. And so now they're making noise. You know, I've always been told and I've read things is when they stop making noise is when it's worse. So yeah. Hey Steve, shout out to Robin Hood. Y'all made investments for financial literacy programs at Howard, right?
Starting point is 01:08:46 Yes. Are y'all going to do that at other HPCs too? Yes, TCU. We're 12 universities and expanding. All across the country. Why is that important for Robinhood? I think it's important because you want to make sure that people at a very young age start to understand how to do it responsibly, intuitively.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Everything shows that if you know just the power of compounding alone, you start at a young age, you know, you're gonna benefit at an older age. I'm one of those annoying fathers who has three 20-some year old daughters, and I pound on them. You gotta put that money to work, put that money to work, be invested in that.
Starting point is 01:09:20 And I said, one day you'll thank me. Well, we appreciate you guys for joining us. Thank you so much. Good luck with everything Bubba and Steve. Thank you for joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Bubba Wallace and Steve Quirk. Thank you guys. Thank you. Morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell her, tell her! She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.
Starting point is 01:09:49 I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, what's the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me! Okay, so I want to send a rest in peace to Val Kilmer and his family, sending them some love.
Starting point is 01:10:11 So the actor passed away Tuesday of pneumonia in LA according to his daughter. For those of you guys who may not know him, I know I feel like by name some people don't know Val Kilmer, but you should by face. He's huge actor. He was in Top Gun. He was in Batman Forever and he he actually went through a whole throat cancer battle that he Came up on the other side of and recovered from it and then pneumonia hit and he passed away
Starting point is 01:10:34 So I just wanted to take some time and send you know a rest in peace to him and some love to his family Yeah, 65 years old absolutely, which young. Now changing gears here, Kanye West. Y'all know Kanye get on X and do his thing. So a fan was tweeting about J. Cole and posted J. Cole's verse that he did on Johnny P's Caddy with Benny the Butcher. And he was basically saying that J. Cole spare Kendrick by not getting into the whole battle. So insert Kanye West or yay. He responded and said I hate J Cole music so much. It's like between Kendrick and J Cole I bet you
Starting point is 01:11:10 industry plans asked J Cole to diss Drake then we would have been accosted with a J Cole Super Bowl commercial with no SZA song to save it. No one listens to J Cole after losing their virginity. When I met up with Drake during Donda most of the convo was me telling him he was hurting hip hop by giving J. Cole platform and I was saying how much I loved future. He then X, yay continues on X to say how I hate Drake and I'm team Drake at the same time. Life is funny like that. It's like the weird thing where I feel closest to Drake and anybody in rap. He just had a, I don't know. I don't even understand like what he's talking about, what he's saying.
Starting point is 01:11:49 I don't think he understands. No. Yeah, I don't get it. And honestly, all he's doing is helping Cole sell out Dreamville. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, if it isn't already. Yeah, exactly. And also the fact that I'll be there too so they can get their tickets because I'm being Raleigh at the Improv. But go ahead. Oh, you're there that weekend too? Absolutely. Because we taking a trip down to the- Because I'm going to Dreamville too can get their tickets because I'm being Raleigh at the improv. But go ahead. Oh, you there that weekend too?
Starting point is 01:12:05 Absolutely. Because we taking the trip down to the- Because I'm going to Dreamville too. Okay. Yes. Okay. Next weekend. All right, we're going to talk.
Starting point is 01:12:13 I hate that whole J. Cole would have watched Kendrick if he would have stayed in the battle narrative too. No, he wouldn't have. No, he wouldn't have. No. Yeah, I love Cole but I don't- He knew that too. He knew that.
Starting point is 01:12:22 I don't got Cole for doing that either. Yeah. And I will say- Who says that anyway? Just, I don't hear a lot. He knew that. I don't got Cole for doing that either. And I will say- Who says that anyway? Just, I don't hear a lot of people say that. Whatever that- people say that in that tweet you just wrote. Kanye just said that, but no, people- Kanye's been saying a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Oh, people have said that if Cole had never dropped out of that battle, that he would have won. If untherapeutic, unhealed Cole stayed in the battle before he got his consciousness that he came back on the stage with. People think that he would have won over Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, I'm with you, Envy. I've never seen it.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Okay. I've never seen it, nowhere. Okay. But also too, I feel like Kanye gets online and he tweets things that make absolutely no sense and then people take it and run with it. The other day he had tweeted that Jay-Z owned his, or not tweeted, he talked about academics that Jay-Z owned his master. So he gets on these platforms and says things
Starting point is 01:13:07 that don't make any sense. And people believe it. That's not true. Completely not true. Yeah, Jay-Z does not own Kanye West's catalog at all. That's easy to look up, right? I don't know if you can look it up. That's not easy to look up, but.
Starting point is 01:13:19 I heard it from a very reliable source. Yeah, from a very reliable source, that is not true. It don't matter who that is, but a very reliable source. Yeah, from a very reliable source, that is not true. It don't matter who that is, but a very reliable source. Yo, Evie! Oh! You wanna be an OVO so bad? You wanna be the owl so near and back? Always the OVO owl over there.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Woo! Woo! Stupid! And I know Kanye just asked a question. He just said, how much money you think Jay-Z makes off my catalog versus what I make off it? Yeah, I heard that. And people ran with the whole, you know, Jay owns Kanye catalog, but that's not true.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Kanye just playing the victim and looking for sympathy per year. And I did Google who owns Kanye West masters. And according to Google right now, and if this is incorrect, it's Google, not me. Kanye West master recordings, at least for his earlier albums are owned by Universal Music Group, which is which owns Def Jam recordings where he was signed for most of his career. However, he has since completed his contract with Jeff Def Jam and is free to pursue music deals elsewhere according to google so easily that's his music contract but i don't know who owns the masters
Starting point is 01:14:14 though it says Kanye West master master recordings owned by an AJZ yeah i can tell you that much that's crazy well thank you for debunking that story unc appreciate you he went That's crazy. Well, thank you for debunking that story, Unc. Appreciate you. He went- He debunked Unc! Unc debunked. Kanye went in Academic's basement? Where was that at? No, no, no. They weren't in the basement. Academics flew to LA. I went and think about it. That was a hotel. It was like a hotel and then they were like outside of somewhere, but yeah, he flew to LA. But it didn't matter. Academics honestly didn't have to be there. He could have just sent the camera. Because Kanye was talking about what he was doing. He didn't even have to add yet because he didn't ask
Starting point is 01:14:46 him anything. Yeah. Well, I want to get into the young scooter, but I'm nervous that we're not gonna have no time, but we can try. Okay. So yesterday, police actually arrested a woman in relation to the young scooter death. So the 911 audio call that we talked about in here, police basically found that this call, the call was real, like it was actually made, but what was reported on the call was fake. So there was a 30, there's a 31 year old girl, her name is Demetrius Spence. She was taken into custody by Atlanta police yesterday for making the false 911 call that
Starting point is 01:15:17 results in the death of young scooter because police only showed up there because of this phone call. So he was swatted. Now Demetrius Spence is the woman from the Zeus baddie show that went on Instagram live prior to this when police said that they were looking for the 911 caller to explain just you like why would she do that? Dumbass to explain her part of the story because people were giving her so much hell because of young scooters passing us. Damn it. Why y'all ain't give me that? I could have give her donkey the down. I don't know why he's gonna go that way.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Well, let's take a listen to what she said. There's a reaction for every action. This is part A. You guys didn't have part A. You guys only had part B. And the narrative, it looks like I was trying to set this man up because you guys don't have part B.
Starting point is 01:16:01 I'm giving you part B. I'm giving you one land up to the call. I was physically abused. So I called to protect myself. That's the that's the issue. I never had any intentions to get anybody hurt. And I came here to say my truth. That's it. That's all I don't want no cloud. At the end of the day, I'm a woman woman and I was physically abused multiple times I'm so confused yeah no you know I really am ask me no y'all got this she got abused what was she saying she got abused in the past before and I guess this was her way of I allegedly get back on it so she was saying the reason she did it was because
Starting point is 01:16:41 she got abused not that she was getting abused in that moment but she was saying the reason she did it was because she got abused not that she was getting abused in that moment She was abused before and that was her way of Right now right yeah, so right now she is in custody in Atlanta and the charge actually that she is being That she's facing is false transmitting a false public alarm And that's under a certain law in Georgia, and this is what you can be charged with if serious bodily harm or death results from a response of a public safety agency. So because the police came out, he, uh, young scooter fled from police where he got that
Starting point is 01:17:17 leg injury and then bled to death. So yeah, she's going to be facing some charges. And I will say yesterday, um, Young Thug and a few other people were online talking about that young scooter was actually shot And that they had there was an autopsy that was released that confirmed that that was not true Elena police have come out with a fault in County Like the results of the autopsy that dude mentioned the puncturing of his leg after trying to hop Seemed like a wooden fence or something like that which resulted in his death so the police have been doing a really good job trying to clear things up and keep things factual and that young thug tweet was deleted
Starting point is 01:17:50 okay yeah all right well that was the latest with Lori Shalaman who giving that donkey to? Man we need Kevin Hart to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a word with the police. WHAT? Kevin Hart. What's Kevin in there? I know damn well is it Kevin or is it chocolate dropper? It's Kevin. Before after the's Kevin and D? Hey yo, I know damn well. Is it Kevin or is it Chocolate Dropper? It's Kevin. Before after the hour, you gotta stay tuned. He is a clown. Which one? Kevin. I mean, not Kevin. Charlamagne. We'll get to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. We'll get a read. He gave me donkey of the Day is something to behold. Will you read? He gave me Donkey of the Day and I deserve it. You need to know. You need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Tell them. It's time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. You're the only one Charlemagne is on. Damn Charlemagne, who gave a a ducky of the day to an animal? Don't give a day for Wednesday, April 2nd goes to Kevin Hart. Kevin Duran Hart, that is.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Okay, I'm going to make sure to say Duran or Kevin D because I don't need y'all thinking this our guy from Philly Philly. No, Kevin D is a 47 year old California man and yet another reason why Noah only allowed animals on the ark. I'm telling you right now my anxiety, I'll never be able to shake it off. Okay. And it's because I have to read the news every day. And when you read the news, you come across stories like Kevin D. And the headline I saw this morning on Law and Crime that grabbed my attention, that grabbed my attention was
Starting point is 01:19:20 Imagined Infidelity. Okay. That title piqued my curiosity. And I'm like, what's that? Imagined infidelity? Is that when you dream of cheating on your significant other? Is that a crime now? It's just like the movie Minority Report. Has there been a specialized force created that apprehends you because they use foreknowledge or they're using foreknowledge to grab you when you daydream about cheating? What is imagined infidelity? Well, as soon as I read the article,
Starting point is 01:19:47 I instantly regretted it because it's just a reminder that we live in a world that's simply out of our control. I know you left your house every day in peace. If you're like me, you said your prayers this morning, you read your daily affirmations, you meditated, you probably went to therapy yesterday, you did all of that, and you still can't control what other people do. And Kevin D is yet another example of that. Let's go to KSBW8 for the report please.
Starting point is 01:20:12 A seaside church community mourning the loss of one of their own 65 year old Jackie Robinson. Police say she was killed by her daughter's boyfriend, 45 year old Kevin Hart of Patterson. Hart allegedly beat her to death using a glass tabletop. Seaside police said Hart was visiting the home and he allegedly killed his girlfriend's mother. Police say Hart then resisted arrest and obstructed police. I promise you I read this story and I immediately asked chat GPT how to avoid humans. It told me stay home, limit social interactions and employee strategies like avoiding eye contact and wearing headphones to signal disinterest. I would love to stay home.
Starting point is 01:20:57 I'm a cancer. I'm a natural homebody. If I could be in the house quarantined every day, I promise you I would. And when folks ask me, what's the pandemic? What am I quarantining for? My answer would be people. Homo sapiens. Okay, this man, Kevin D, killed his girlfriend's mother
Starting point is 01:21:14 because he thought his girlfriend was cheating on him. Well, what the hell the mother got to do with this? I am so sick of people projecting their hurt on the others. You mad at your girlfriend because you think she cheated on you. And if she did cheat on you, so what? I don't know if this woman was cheating on you or not, but I would never understand the logic of men
Starting point is 01:21:33 throwing their lives away for women. Honestly, I think that's gay. You can't tell me you like a woman so much that you would do something that would take you away from all women forever. You claim to like women so much, but you doing things that's gonna land you in a prison surrounded by penises? Don't add up to me. And I'm just sick of people who make decisions solely based on emotions. That leads to poor judgment and regret. Okay, you gotta take a breath and
Starting point is 01:21:56 consider potential consequences before you make choices like this. You killed your girlfriend's mom because you thought she was cheating on you. A suspicion with no basis in reality. There is no justification for this murder. Even if you knew she was cheating on you, but this is just what you thought. Beat this woman with your bare hands and a piece of glass from the table. Let me tell you something, Kevin. If your girlfriend for whatever reason, wasn't feeling you anymore, guess what? She was correct. And that poor young lady is gonna have to live with the
Starting point is 01:22:28 regret of her poor choice in a man for the rest of her natural born life. This poor woman's mother was the president of the senior usher board in the church, man. Her obituary said she had a very kind and loving heart with a smile that made anyone who came into her presence feel loved and you killed her, Kevin, because you thought her daughter cheated on you, imagined infidelity? Kevin is facing 26 years of life in prison. He was convicted by a jury on Friday of first degree murder and I pray he gets forever in prison.
Starting point is 01:23:04 You are named after the wrong comedian, sir, because you have caused a pain that nobody could ever laugh at. Please let Remy Ma give Kevin Durant Hart the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-fucker, you dumb. You telling me that don't make you wanna stay in the house?
Starting point is 01:23:21 Hell yeah, and I didn't know it was another Kevin. I'm thinking chocolate drop of Kevin Hart. That is sad. That is super sad. All right. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now when we come back, we have Reverend Al Sharpton joining us. Reverend Al will be here. That's right. We're going to kick it with Reverend Al when we come back, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club, Lorne and Rosa filling in for Jess,
Starting point is 01:23:52 and we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. We have Reverend Al Sharpton, welcome back, Rap. Thank you, glad to be here. How you feeling? I'm good, I'm real good. You got your workout in this morning? You know every morning, seven days a week,
Starting point is 01:24:03 I got to get up and do it. Now the last time I seen you, Reverend Al, we were coming back from D.C. We were playing together. This is right after Kamala Harris lost. Very upsetting. What do you think about the new presidency and what he's doing and all the things that is affecting our communities? What's your thoughts? I mean, first of all, the only surprise I have is that everybody's surprised. He said he was going to do everything he's doing, tariffs, that he was coming after a DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion.
Starting point is 01:24:34 He said that he was going to go after his enemies or those that he felt were opposed to him. So I don't know what the shock is. And I don't understand where all of the people that were saying they didn't see the difference between Trump and the Democrats, how they have gotten longitis now and have not come back out and say, because none of what he's doing, what a Democrat's doing. Now nobody's been more challenging to the Democrats than I have all my life, but you can't act like that was the same thing. He has done a direct affront on black people and working people, and no apologies.
Starting point is 01:25:09 I mean, when you take down black servicemen's pitches on the Department of Defense's website, including Jackie Robinson and Medgar Evers, you can't be more intentionally offensive than that. So I think that the bad side is what he's doing. The good side is I think it's going to wake a lot of us up. Sometimes we need something to happen for us to understand what is really happening. But when you're dealing with poor and disenfranchised people, how do you tell them that if they're already living in hell, how do you tell them things are going to get hotter?
Starting point is 01:25:45 Because they get hotter. I mean... But you're already in hell. Well, you're in hell, but the heat is up in hell. And the fact is, we're in hell, economically. Trump is now saying, I'm going to make it worse. I'm going to use Social Security money, Medicare money. You had that in hell.
Starting point is 01:26:01 I'm going to use that to balance the budget and pay for my billionaires to get a tax cut. So when we tell ourselves it can't get worse, it can get worse. When Trump say I'm gonna bring back stop and frisk, which we all, Nash Action Network, was part of helping get down, that means you're gonna get thrown up against the wall again. When Trump says that I'm gonna deal with getting rid
Starting point is 01:26:23 of all of these sentencing rules that can help you get out of jail. So there's a big difference in doing two years and doing 20. So yeah, you in hell and you are now defiers in hell is being turned up. And to tell yourself, to try to rationalize your inactivity does not make you smart. Because a lot of brothers and sisters saying that to me, well, we're doing bad anyway. That's trying to rationalize that you are not trying to do better. To say that a man with 34 felony convictions
Starting point is 01:26:53 found guilty of sexual harassment is better than a woman who did everything right, lawyer, attorney, general, senator, went to Howard. And just give that example to your kids that I'll go with the felon, cause he got swagger is to make us appear like we're not serious. I don't think that's a fair comparison though.
Starting point is 01:27:12 And the reason I say that is cause I don't think the vice president, you know, of course she didn't run a perfect campaign, who does? But I think that she suffered from being a part of the democratic brand as opposed to her. It wasn't the fact that they chose a Donald Trump over her. They chose Donald Trump over Democrats
Starting point is 01:27:26 because I feel like it was the same thing in 2020. You had to fight to convince people to vote for Joe Biden. It was definitely the same thing in 2016. You had to fight people to convince for Hillary Clinton. The last time Democrats have been cool in the eyes of the people that have been 08 and 012. Well then why did Biden win?
Starting point is 01:27:40 The reason I don't accept that, Biden won. A series of extraordinary circumstances. You don't think it was extraordinary. Meaning George Floyd, COVID. You don't think it was extraordinary. No, no, no, George Floyd and COVID happened. Yeah. And so did 34th felony.
Starting point is 01:27:57 We saw that this is the only time we've seen American history of men stand up in court, having to defend themselves and attacking black prosecutors. He went after Alvin Bragg. He went after Tish James. And the fact is that Donald Trump was the president when George Floyd happened. I did George Floyd's funerals, led the big marches. We could not get a peep out of the White House. So that don't wash with me. When you're standing there saying this man was president during COVID and told y'all
Starting point is 01:28:26 to drink bleach, was president when George Floyd and never opened his mouth other than one time, walked across the street from the White House to the church and held the Bible upside down and reprimanded the protesters. We all got amnesia in two years? That's what happened though. You think it's crazy that, know you look at Trump right like him love him hate him, whatever the fact that he gets in office and He actually shows the power that we thought other presidents should have had especially Democrats like I mean the first day he gets on stage
Starting point is 01:28:54 He gets a pen and he's signing executive orders left and right I mean his guys that's getting that has 20 years and just in prison 10 years in prison Part of them immediately and then you look at some of our Democratic presidents and you'd be like, man, they could have helped so many people for good. It just never did. Just was, was cowardly and didn't. So how does that give the people confidence? It doesn't. And that's why guys like me that would come to the Democrats and ask
Starting point is 01:29:17 them to pardon people and didn't can be disappointed and say, I went to Biden and asked for certain pardons that we couldn't get. You pardoned the son? But I couldn't get. You partied with the son? But I couldn't get him to part in Jesse Jackson's son and who should have been partying and others. We went there. So how does that make you feel? It makes me feel like I'm not getting everything I want, but I'm certainly not going to go
Starting point is 01:29:39 on the other side. So we need to then put the right kind of leadership there. You don't, if you're on a team, if the quarterback or the tacklers can't work, you get better team players. You don't join the other team. So that's why I'm saying, there's a difference in the frustration some of us are showing, and some of you expressed,
Starting point is 01:30:00 and in those that went and joined the other team. They went and supported Trump, like that was an alternative. The alternative to having a head cold is not suicide. So how do you look at Mayor Eric Adams? I was about to say you decided whether you're backing away from Eric Adams. How do you look at Mayor Eric Adams? How do I do what? Look at Mayor Eric Adams.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Look, Eric and I go way back. When I started National Action Network, he was one of the founders. Where he is now, I think that he has made some positions that I disagree with and I've told him that. Whether he made a deal with Trump or not, I don't know. But I know that there's some things in policing and all we disagree with, some things that we agree with. But I think that he's in a very peculiar political position.
Starting point is 01:30:43 I don't know how he can get reelected. So because before the conversation is that you are having a conversation about whether you're gonna back him as mayor or not again. So you have made a decision not to? I don't know that he's running yet. Has he said he's running? He hasn't said he has to Thursday to say if he's running again.
Starting point is 01:30:58 But if he does say right now, do you know what you would do? Call me Thursday night. I don't really call you. I don't really call you for that. Because I think for me, I'm looking at it because, I definitely will, I'm looking at it because you've been so vocal about him and now you're vocally like,
Starting point is 01:31:14 I don't know what I'm gonna do. What do you want him to do? Like what do you expect him to do? I want him to continue to fight for the things that I supported him on. Like the right kind of policing in our community. Like being fair to people that are getting cut out of jobs in the city of New York. Like standing up to Trump on a lot of this stuff that he is agreeing with Trump on. I do not
Starting point is 01:31:37 agree. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you? Why is my cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real? You will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe.

We're launching this season with a mini series, Totally Nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV3. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen, all the

It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.
Starting point is 01:35:33 We are the Breakfast Club. Lon LaRosa's here as well. And we're still kicking it with Al Sharpton. Now I got a question. How did you feel, you know, I've seen the press go at you and go at a lot of the people that Kamala Harris's campaign gave money to during the campaign. So what was your thoughts on that?
Starting point is 01:35:48 I expected that. I thought it was late. Kamala Harris gave some civil rights groups money to help get the vote out non-partisan, signed a contract with us that we could not in any way endorse candidate so that they were protected, we were protected. Nobody ever asked, did y'all have a contract? I think she gave several groups a couple million dollars. She gave national action, there were 500,000.
Starting point is 01:36:12 And the tour we took, I took Central Power Five, two of them all over the country, cost us more than that. We had to raise more money. So I expected them to do that. And my thing is fine, we can bring the contract, let's go to court, because then I'm going to ask you about all the money
Starting point is 01:36:27 the Republicans was giving some of these Christian conservative churches and these groups. They're going to take a shot. They are not going to mess with you unless you mess with them. Isn't it interesting you got some of the people that you referred to that got some of that money doing the George Floyd.
Starting point is 01:36:46 They ain't talking about them. They ain't prosecuting them. They're going after other people. I'm talking about people that did crazy stuff with that money. None of them, have you heard, got a problem, but they still beating up on us. And I want to ask you too, I know that y'all have driven a lot more traffic to Costco because Costco is somebody who stood by their DEI initiatives. What is Costco doing for the movement?
Starting point is 01:37:07 We want, I don't want them to do nothing for me personally. They've never donated to nothing. But I want them to open up some Costco stores where we can own some of those stores, we can franchise some of those stores. We want to see, we went to say we're gonna do a buy-cott. We go in there and buy, because they stood up for us. But now do business with us.
Starting point is 01:37:27 I don't want, again, for us to always be the receivers of what is considered charity, give us parity. And you got the National Action Network, what is it coming up this week, right? Starts Wednesday. I know you're honoring Ms. Patti LaBelle. Ms. Patti LaBelle's been honored. We're gonna have everybody from the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, who's the only black
Starting point is 01:37:49 governor to the chair of the Democratic Party. We're going to ask some hard questions. We're going to have Ben Crump is coming with a lot of the cases that we afford. Everybody's going to be the Dr. Michael Eric Dyson. And it's four days a week. I'm convinced we always have thousands because it's free. And we even had Charlamagne de Garde there once. That's right. Absolutely. I'm going to be there with him. I'm going to be with Ms. Tati
Starting point is 01:38:10 LaBelle. No, you're going to be there because of her. No. Wow. You don't know about that. You cheat a lot. No, no, no. Let me be real clear. He's not coming out of respect to me. That is not true. That's crazy. He's coming to sit with Tati LaBelle. That LaBelleel made it clear. Shalem A. Lagarde is sitting with me. I'm not sitting with you, Revin. I said, okay. But they told me what it was.
Starting point is 01:38:30 I'm like, oh, absolutely, I'll be there. Yeah, no, he's been there for our youth day and all that. He's done that. How did you, when Asap Rocky was going through all of the stuff that he was going through in court and you tweeted out about the black jurors, the lack thereof, how do you decide when things like that come across your desk,
Starting point is 01:38:44 what you put your name on? Well first, the first law I use is that I don't ever get involved in something unless somebody involved actually. When he was in jail, his mother came to me. And that's why I stood up for him. Then Trump helped get him back. I give Trump credit for that. Oh, when he was over. So I knew him. So when he's on trial this time and somebody in his legal team called me and said that, you know, there's an all white pool that they're choosing from.
Starting point is 01:39:19 I said, that's wrong. He said, would you come out here? I said, I don't have to come out. I can tweet and I tweeted. I wouldn't have done that without the legal team because I don't have to come out here. I can tweet. And I tweeted. I wouldn't have done that without the legal team because I wouldn't have known what their legal strategy was. Anytime you see me out there, it's because of some of the family members of the legal
Starting point is 01:39:31 team have called us. I don't chase ambulances. You know, people say, oh, they ambulance chases. No, we ain't ambulance chases. We respond to the calls. I like to study movements that were successful and, you know, those movements were successful on so many different levels What should this generation be learning from that civil rights movement in the 60s and what wasn't done in that movement that should be?
Starting point is 01:39:53 Be done now what they should learn is if the objective you should judge people by the objective you cannot in Any way gauge people by your objective, gauged them by theirs. And the objective was they wanted to break down apartheid, segregation, and change the laws on voting. They did that. 65 Voting Rights Act, 64 Civil Rights Act, they did that. So, with King and them, after they did that. Then they wanted to build economic bases, Jesse.
Starting point is 01:40:21 And they did that. They were able to break in the first blacks that would get on boards and the first blacks that would own a lot of franchises and Reggie Lewis and all of them. They did that. What we did not do is institutionalize those things. So from generation to generation, that continued. And then we build our own businesses. We can say what we want. I've been in a different school of thought than the nation of Islam, but Elijah Muhammad built businesses.
Starting point is 01:40:48 That's right, that's right. Any community you're in, that's not there no more. So what we've got to now perfect is how do you pass it on in your lane? And you know, people come to me, I'd like to be the next guy in national action, but you got to be about what we're about. If something happened to the pope,
Starting point is 01:41:04 you don't get a Baptist to be the new pope You get a Catholic So if you not in in what we believe in you cannot be in that but if you in that we need to continue that And that's what we not done We've seen too many just go all political and get out of the economic you can't afford to be political if you don't have money So so so even with what this administration is doing, rolling back a lot of things that have helped black people move forward, we can still build
Starting point is 01:41:30 those institutions. Because we're doing it then. He can't make us spend money they want. He cannot do that. And if you put the right pressure on them corporations, they can make him turn around. Why is he talking about tariffs and all that now? It's all economic.
Starting point is 01:41:44 He is a businessman. Donald Trump has never held office in life. He went in there from business and that's why I say we've got to have an economic strategy.

That's the sound of things. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest?
Starting point is 01:43:29 On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Now there is this report going around on the internet, on the blogs, that 106 and Park is coming back and that the first, it's not true. Oh, what? Well. Damn. I mean it did come out on April Fools, guys. Oh, what? Well. Damn.
Starting point is 01:43:45 I mean, it did come out on April Fool's, guys. Yeah, it was April Fool's. I really feel like I saw before that, but maybe so. But okay, so this report, it started circulating on X, and now it's making its way over to Instagram. And the report is that it's coming back and that the first episode is actually set to air or to tape in a few weeks from now, actually.
Starting point is 01:44:01 But we've reached out to some sources who would know, who tell us that this is completely not true. The report was that Kiki Palmer and Kai Sanat would host the new version of 106 and Park, which would actually be kind of like cool to see. Yeah, I could definitely see that. That would be dope. Yes, but- Do Kai and Kiki have time for that?
Starting point is 01:44:18 I don't think so, but- The BET got the budget for that? No. But does anybody watch videos like that anymore? So what would you do? That's the thing though. That's why you bring it back. Cause that I just was saying it the other day. Yo, I feel like we've gotten away from that music video era, but that's what we need. Ain't nothing wrong with watching them. It's just, I feel like people don't make them anymore.
Starting point is 01:44:36 They don't have a place for us to go to watch them. Yesterday when you were showing me, um, Drake. That was Drake? No care, no care. I thought that was Kendrick Super Bowl performance. Yo, shut up, man. That's basically what it was like. It was like a replica of Not Like Us, Squibble Up music video, and the Super Bowl halftime performance by Kendrick.
Starting point is 01:44:54 That was Drake, sir. I feel like Drake was trolling Kendrick. A lot of people feel like that. I watched it on YouTube, but if they had a place for me probably to watch them all that one time, I would. That would be cool with some dope hosts like cuz Kai's entertaining So it's Kiki Kiki gonna find time for a job. That's one thing about it Why would you wait to see a video?
Starting point is 01:45:11 Cuz before you had to wait cuz there was no other place to see the videos now I don't have to wait I could just go right to YouTube or the person's whatever but it's not really all about the music videos cuz remember 106 and Park they only played about 20 seconds of the video anyway But it was more so about like the topics and everything and the guests that they would bring on and performances and stuff One fury I remember Now saying I think 106 and park and just the nostalgia of the brand I think people were tuning They would have to find a way to keep it like fresh new and fast
Starting point is 01:45:43 But to your point about the Drake Nokia music video that music video hasn't been like news wise It's breaking records right now for it was like most watched most Trended or something like that on YouTube over the weekend something like that people are having a conversation about whether he's trolling Kendrick Lamar or not But imagine if you had a show dedicated to just breaking down exactly like y'all just did boom I mean we do it here So yeah, like you said, yes, that's like strictly for music videos. That would be dope. Drew Ski is somebody else that would be dope too. Drew Ski would be great on a show like that. As like the like the fun. Yeah, Drew Ski and Pretty V would like kill
Starting point is 01:46:19 that 106 and plug. That would be dope. Stop acting like Drake fell off like, oh, Drake. Yes, he's still Drake. Definitely still Drake. I know he's still Drake, but I think people just because of everything people point out I don't even remember what the set was. It makes you look at stuff differently, right? Yeah, don't get us in trouble again Jess. Oh sorry Love you Drake But yeah, I thought that I enjoyed the video, but yes, we were told that that is not true There is no one in 166th and Park returning with Kai Sanai and Kiki Palmer. So sorry to shut your dreams down It was April Fools Day, don't want to put that out there.
Starting point is 01:46:47 Nobody really came. I'm so grown. I didn't even realize it was. So in other news, so Denise Richards, actress Denise Richards, she is now opening up and talking about when Charlie Sheen, who was her ex, who she shares two kids with, came out on the Today Show at the time with Matt Lauer and talked about the fact that he was HIV positive. Come on man, that's not the first time she heard that, right? I hope you told her for us before he went on TV. That's exactly what we're about to talk about. She says that she was upset because she didn't let him know that, let her know that he was going to be sharing it publicly before he went on the show. Oh, she knew but she didn't know he was going public with it. Yeah, she didn't let him know that let them know that her know that he was gonna be sharing it publicly before he went on the show Oh, she knew but she didn't know he was gonna public with it. Yeah, she didn't know that he was going public with let me clarify that
Starting point is 01:47:36 Cuz you asked me that I'm like wait, hold on but yes She didn't know that he was gonna go public with it So she said she was on the wind down with Jana Kramer and she was asked if, because you know Charlie Sheen has some very controversial, you know what I mean, past stories and she's had a little bit of a time herself and she was asked, do you ever have to sit your kids down and have a conversation with them about anything before it hits the internet? Like any past stuff or even when they were growing up? And she says no because Denise Richard said no because their daughters are not ones to Google them. Like they don't care about that type of stuff.
Starting point is 01:48:07 But she did say that when Charlie Sheen sat down with Matt Lauer, she was upset because, you know, he went on and talked about this publicly, but she felt like she understood why he had to, because at that time, the tabloids had already been talking about it. They were accusing him of basically like endangering other people's lives.
Starting point is 01:48:23 So he wanted to go and clear it up. So she understood, but she just wished that their dad had like some sort of conversation because of their two daughters. And then because of that, she then had to go pick the daughters up from school because she didn't want anybody in the school to say anything to them, sit their daughters down and have a conversation with their daughters about what their dad had just revealed on the show and kind of explain to them what it was. And she said that, you know, they didn't really understand it.
Starting point is 01:48:45 They didn't really get it then. But she did have to have that conversation. I don't I don't feel like that that hurt Charlie Sheen in any way, though, because I mean, the only thing I remember from that era is winning, winning. I remember everybody was screaming winning, winning. I don't remember people's low key. I feel like all of his controversy, it like people talk about it as if it's like a like a notch on a belt
Starting point is 01:49:06 Like they don't it doesn't it doesn't like a that's not because of the stigma I mean like the stigma of HIV has been pretty much erased for a long time anyway Yeah, yeah, like I mean like that like they talk about him like oh my god He just had this big grand fun crazy life But they don't I don't even like the rock star that just you know I guess that's what it was the life he lived it's like yeah yeah got HIV okay yeah that's not about right the way you was living now the sound about right the stigma HIV like I said was pretty much gone so nobody nobody cared and he had said at the time when he came out about it that he had been diagnosed four
Starting point is 01:50:02 years prior but he again he was talking about it because then tabloids grabbed it so he wanted to have conversations and clear up some of the things that were being said in the stigmas around it. People were still scared back then. Yeah because it was only one person known to beat it but other than that people were dying. It was 2015. What are they talking about this morning? Back then? I know what you mean. Back then people were still scared in 2015. Back then was yesterday. 2015 people were not scared.
Starting point is 01:50:28 Just take my HIV has been gone for a long, long time. I know people still make the mosquito references like if it's somebody there at the cookout. Shut up, man. For real, I know they did say that. Hey yo, my name is Donald Trump. And the person with HIV is at a cookout, and the mosquitoes is around us like, whoa.
Starting point is 01:50:48 You know what I'm saying? Shut up. I've heard that. So people do be scared in the summer. Those prep commercials be looking so happy? Yes, yes, as they are designed to, because those people are happy. The stigma from HIV is not what it was in any way, shape,
Starting point is 01:51:02 or form. Speaking of mosquitoes, did y'all grandma used to make y'all put on that a von oil? in the summer and your grandma made it. The skin's so soft. Yes! Come on now. You really got black eyes. My mom was praying you were old. My mom was praying you were old. We didn't even have old.
Starting point is 01:51:30 We didn't even have old. Oh my God. You ain't never had an Avon lady visit your house with some skin so soft? Anyway. No, I recently went to a Mary Kay convention the other year. Okay, so that's kind of like that, but Avon was the joint back. Man, not just mosquitoes, ticks too. Grandma tell you that Avon skin so soft was for ticks and mosquitoes. Yeah, I feel like it didn't work
