Let's go with love of my life Yeah, love my life. I was saying cuz Eric about do is the love of soul of our lives. All right. All right

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning front page news is next. All right. Well, let's get into front page news Good morning DJ envy Charlamagne the God and just hilarious. How y'all doing? MV Charlamagne the God and just hilarious. How y'all doing? Good alright, so let's get into it y'all Okay, okay Look at me. My feet ain't big. I wear size eight women. Don't do me. Anyway, go ahead. Oh, no. What happened? Okay. What happened?

Okay. Let's get into it. So Trump's first cabinet meeting takes place today and he will have a special guest to attend, Elon Musk. During the press briefing yesterday, White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt reiterated that Musk is serving as a special government employee while running the Department of Government Efficiency. And during the cabinet meeting, or during the cabinet meeting, he will provide an update

on how all the cabinet secretaries are identifying waste and government fraud and abuse. Let's hear more from Press Secretary Levitt on Elon Musk in the cabinet meeting. And Elon, considering he is working alongside the president and our cabinet secretaries, will be in attendance tomorrow just to talk about Doge's efforts. So there has been... Is this normal Morgan? Elon Musk is not in the cabinet. Are we just accepting oligarchy in America? To be honest Charlemagne like that seems to be the case as of right now. Not so much that it's so much acceptance but yeah it's a matter of how do we edge this. Yeah so there has been some cute confusion about who is actually running Doge. As we previously mentioned that some confusion about

who's running America. Musk is a special government employee, but the White House did reveal yesterday that Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of Doge. And ironically enough, she has been on vacation. So I wonder what she did last week. They just started back. How she go on vacation already? So, uh, I'm just, look, y'all don't shoot the messenger. But last week didn't last week they think somebody else was running running Doge. It was another name they gave. I can't remember the name though. It was a guy. Um, I'm not privy to that, but, uh, Amy Gleason is the name that has come out, um, about the acting administrator that is running Doge. So, um,

this comes as 21 civil servants originally working for DOJ have now decided to quit. In a letter to the White House chief of staff, the worker said, we will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services.

The group of the resigning workers said DOJ's actions contradict their stated mission. So the White House again is not saying what will happen once Elon Musk reaches his limit for days worked as a special government employee. You know, as a government, a special government employee, you can only work 130 days. So he's officially like 35, 36 days in on this administration. And so when they asked about the limit on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Levitt, she said in her own words that we're only about 35 days in and to ask her again in about 100 days or so. Let's actually run that audio on Levitt, her comments on Doge.

So the president tasked Elon Musk to oversee the Doge effort. There are career officials and there are political appointees who are helping run Doge on a day to day basis. There are also individuals who have onboarded as political appointees at every agency across the board to work alongside President Trump's cabinet to find and identify waste, fraud and abuse and they are working on that effort every day. Yeah, so those Elon Musk essentially is overseeing things right now with Amy Gleason acting as the administrator who's been on vacation and supposedly going to check in soon.

And that is picture this woman or she AI. No, no, there is a picture. Okay, so could be AI even with a picture this woman or she ai no no there is a picture she could be ai okay still could be ai even with a picture nowadays and then you of course have your um 21 uh servants who have been working for doge deciding to resign and also protest as they call them servants civil servants oh civil servant okay i but what but that pretty much uh wraps 6 a.m. correct So, yeah, I don't know what's happening man But I don't see any it isn't the well too many Eagles too many cooks in the kitchen too many people got their hands on The brick man, so man, right? I do have a question

I guess we could talk about next hour now is is president Trump making president Zelensky pay some of this money back I heard that yesterday on the news that I guess you, through minerals and things like that. Is that true? Yes. So the two countries are going to sign off on a minerals deal that is Trump asked for $500 billion in real minimal rare minerals. Yeah. I know Zelensky is like, nah, you're going to get a hundred billion dollars because that's essentially what the U.S. provided Ukraine with an aid. So they'll sign that deal on Friday and I'll get more into that a little later. All right. I just want to know if Joe Biden has some money back or is it just the Trump to say yo we need this money back

I'm just curious. We'll get into it next hour. I'm sure Everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines a wide open call us up now is the Breakfast Club.

Keep telling y'all that this ain't just with the mess. Now go ahead Lauren. What we got going on with Danny? Okay. So I'm here. I've just moved up. Okay. So we've been talking and remember I told you guys that I broke the story about a attorney, Anthony Busby, who is the attorney that filed all those civil lawsuits

against Puff. So the last time we talked about this, we talked about a letter that came from a grievances committee, a kind of ethics committee that said that he was denied the ability to practice within the Southern District of New York. That confused a lot of people because he then posted saying that he is able to practice within New York State. New York State Court in the Southern District of New York are two different jurisdictions, federal and state are different. Now Diddy's team, I got an alert this morning at around a little after midnight they submitted a letter to the court is called a memorandum of law and they're

opposing Busby's submission to operate as ProHackVice. So I was saying ProHackVice earlier, but shout out to my my new lawyer community that I have is ProHackVice, which is where I told you guys like he'll come in with a local attorney because he's not able to work in that jurisdiction But the local attorney can right so he had to go back and ask for permission to do that on all puffs civil cases In the Southern District of New York after this denial happened, right? So puffs team they're allowed to write and say hey This is how we feel about it because this is the person in question that is being in conversation as an diddy, they're allowed to write and say, hey, this is how we feel about it, because this is the person in question that is being in conversation as an a ditty. And they're saying, no, they're saying we oppose

his request to operate as pro-hackbitch or operate with a local attorney. We don't do this lightly either. They say, look, we never do this. We never allow, we never do not allow an attorney the right to litigate. Like by law, we think all attorneys should, but this is wrong.

This is wrong because there's been misconduct. He's, you know, going against his attorney privilege as far as like, there's rules that you're supposed to follow and he didn't do it. Yeah, I feel like he should have just did that from the beginning. I don't. You gotta measure twice to cut once.

He feel like, I feel like he didn't do that. I am so waiting to see what attorney Busby is gonna specifically say in response to this outside of just, oh, I can operate in New York State. Cause when I say that this doesn't make any sense of how this was a misstep, they say- You know why? Because I think a lot of those lawyers

aren't looking at the legality of the situation. Those lawyers are just looking for the smear campaign. So those lawyers are telling these people, hey, if you don't do X, Y, and Z, meaning pay us, then we're gonna go to the press, we're gonna file a lawsuit. And so they just do it in hopes that eventually these guys will just settle and then he'll just drop it and nobody will ever get to this point.

He was looking for the settlement. He didn't necessarily want to go to trial. This is insane. So he might pretty much escape. Well, he may be able to escape. Yeah, I mean, as an attorney, your job is to find a loophole, and I honestly think that Puff's team has found it. Whatever Attorney Busby is going to throw back as like,

hey, no, that's not true. Or hey, I did this or whatever. We don't we don't be the saving grace. But the fact that he's actually filing for this pro hack VJ, which is like, yo, can I work with a local attorney? It shows you that like, he knows that he might be in trouble on these civil suits. And they specifically point out, he's been active in across 22 filings without permission to practice in the Southern District of New York And in that letter from the grievance committee you guys remember when I mentioned it they said You've already been acting as if you have admission or permission to operate within this jurisdiction This only came to our attention

January 29th because of the amended filing that had Jay-Z's name Jay-Z's name attached to it because that team has said yo He's not doing this right like admissions haven't been submitted All these people care about is money and the pressure they can put on a person to make that person break to pay the goddamn money That's that's it. That's all it is because they'll put you through hell They'll they'll send all types of letters to you to get you to do all types of things But let me ask you a question can those people that were using busby go to another attorney that's in this jurisdiction and do the same thing. So I thought about that as well too, and I think at this point, even if they try to move it, other jurisdictions, other attorneys,

working with those local attorneys removing Busby from it, I think it just has a bad taste to it now, because even though people will look at this as a technicality, right, and technicalities can be very small, but in a court of law, if there's rules and you don't go by them, it's just not a good thing. You're an attorney, we're supposed to be able to trust

that you're gonna do by the book everything, because you're talking about throwing accusations on a person that are very serious. So they can't, I believe that they can. But. Because if I'm hiring an attorney, I would think that the attorney knows what he's doing. I'm hiring you for your expertise,

and if you don't and you're messing up, I can go to another attorney that maybe has a better expertise or better knowledge of definitely the jurisdiction. I don't know what the what is for in regard to legal, but boy they've created some good stories though. I mean, these have been better than Zane Sex Chronicles. Haven't they? They have, they have been good stories.

They have the same damn stories. No, they've created some good stories out of this. Not just like, when homeboys say he was in the shower, and these are all alleged. Like this is There's some good stories. Come on now. Well, Homeboy said he was in the shower. Come on now. And these are all alleged. Come on now. It's a lot. Come on.

And then they all got the same story, same ending. Oh my God. You like my jewelry? Come on now. I'm moving on. I like your no. He said he complimented it first. I like your necklace.

He said, I got something else for you to like. Come on. You ever get fellatio? I am going to reach out. Well, you should try. Come on. This is crazy. But all this does is, like you said, it smears much. You ever gave Felatio? I am going to reach out up. Well you should try, like come on, it's crazy. But all this does is like you said, it smears what Puff is doing regardless. So if Puff's attorney has an opportunity to sue Busby, I think they should do the same

thing Hov is doing in Sue. We'll see what happens. We're going to see how it plays out. I will reach out to attorney Busby as I always do on both sides and just see what his response to this is. But I knew that this was going to happen. Like I said months ago with Jay-Z doing what he did with that case even though he doesn't he's not fighting for a diddy he's fighting for himself it was gonna open up a whole new can of

worms on the diddy side. But also let the record show because the internet is stupid this is the civil case you talking about. Attorney Busby's case is civil but they did start filing stuff on the criminal side too I think they're gonna try and use it on both sides so again we'll keep you guys updated. I'ma reach out to attorney Busby. We'll see what he says, if he says anything, because he's given me no comment a couple times on these things.

Well thank you, Lauren. You're welcome, Jessica. Next hour you got what, Dirk? Yeah, Dirk got some new things happening as well. A lot of little updates, so more litigiousness with Lauren. All right. Thank you. All right, thank you. All right, when we come back we got front page news,

and then Akim Barak and Lamont Roach, Jr Will be joining us. He's fighting tank this weekend at the Barclays and we'll talk to them in a little bit Yes, javante. Hey, how you thinking thinking you fighting rmb singer? A lot of people think that i'm like yo, how long tank been boxing for y'all to not know that is not Please don't what was the name? Please? Yeah, please don't go tank it ain't R&B money tank Morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get back to some front page news What's up, Morgan? So more on the administration. Trump is announcing a new pathway to citizenship. Very untraditional, but

this is for wealthy investors. He announced that the U.S. will sell what's called a gold card. And he spoke more about how the impact will affect those willing to invest. Now, speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said the gold card will be

similar to the green card, but at a higher level of sophistication, he said wealthy people will be coming into our country and buying the card. He also said that those who get the green card, but at a higher level of sophistication. He said wealthy people will be coming into our country and buying the card. He also said that those who get the gold card will be spending a lot of money paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people. Let's hear those comments from Trump. We're going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going

to give you green card privileges. Plus, it's going to be a route to citizenship. They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people. And we think it's going to be extremely successful. What's the criteria? Can you just pay?

Is there a background check? You know, like, $5 million. Yeah, but is there a background check? Like anybody can do it. What if you got a criminal background from another country, but you got some money? Like, does it matter? You can just pay your way into America? We are post-american now people. I want y'all to know that. Okay we are post-constitution. Nothing

matters anymore. What is the rule of law? Trump makes me wonder did any of these things ever really exist or did all it take was for someone to come in and say f all that I don't care this is how we doing things. That's what it seems like because nobody's ever done this like like this. He just does what he wants to do how he wants to do it and we think it's and people think it's normal It must be normal because the president United States of America doing it and nobody's reacting like it's not normal So hey here it is five million dollar gold cards now, but does it start a precedent with every president after this now? You know what I mean? Does every president after this start the same stuff like all right? Well, I'm just gonna do this forget what the people think

I don't know. We don't have another president after this, but I will say this what happened I'm just gonna do this forget what the people think I don't even know we gonna have another president after this but I will say this what happened when people used to have to marry for a green card remember that yeah they do that after with the long time ago you used to have to marry somebody for a green card I was thrown out with the long time ago now all you need is five million dollars and you can get a gold card wrap it I'm sure as I'm sure as people just five million dollars laying around by citizenship in America pretty Pretty much, you know. Sheesh, the way the fact that you can buy anyways. I'm a move on. The Trump administration, they say they want to shake things up and the White House in the

press pool. This impacts journalists, podcasters, people who are myself, people who want to cover the president. So White House spokesperson, Caroline Levitt said the administration will now welcome new voices as well as traditional legacy media outlets. She adds that this is a push to expand access to the press briefing room, and it means that the White House, not the White House Correspondents Association, will determine who gets access going forward. Let's hear more from Caroline Levitt on press access at the White House press team in this administration will determine who gets to enjoy the very privileged and limited access in spaces such as Air Force One and the Oval Office. There are, as you know, look at this room, hundreds of journalists who show up to this building every single day and are not granted that luxury of flying on Air Force One and

asking the President of the United States questions. And so we want to ensure, again, everyone has a seat at that highly coveted table. But alas, the legacy media outlets who have been doing this for quite some time and have invested resources into covering the White House, their spots will remain. What are you guys thoughts on that? I'm not quite sure what they're saying. Are they just saying that they're going to give like podcasters and like a nontraditional media outlets access to things like Air Force One

and stuff like that? If that's the case, I don't have a problem with this. Yes, but it also means that some of your legacy media, while those still may be in the building, they may not be selected for certain things like Air Force One or like, again, she's going to have the rotating schedule for the five top legacy medias that are in the building, which is Fox, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS. Well, who's fault is that though? Because I mean, if you have a podcaster or a YouTuber or a screamer who has a bigger audience, who might be more relevant to the now, wouldn't you rather have them? I mean, what if they don't know the time of the year?

Yeah, so, but that's the thing. And you have to have this. So, for example, even here in this space, you know, a lot of people get on me like, hey, you're supposed to import your opinion about things. It's like, but no, I'm actually just a news reporter. I'm here to report the news. I'm not commentary. So podcasters may provide commentary. You know what I'm saying?

So this can create. But that's better to me. Yeah, yeah, but it's better. But it's still I'm gonna Jack. I feel like we still need a you like you know I'm saying because what are we commentating about if we don't know what we talking about you know then every then it's a bunch of misinformation going around and people just sound stupid. Right. And if you're a fan of the president you know I'm saying that takes away some of the checks and balances of it. You get what

I'm saying. So and it's and it's and it's not a problem. I think that podcasters and bloggers and things of that nature should have access to the White House. The thing is that there should be checks and balances for journalists who are just there to report on facts. And unfortunately, those who are reporting on the facts are being removed from certain spaces in that building. You're right, but when have facts mattered in the Trump era? What have these facts done in the Trump era? Think about it. Trump has been campaigning since he was president in 2016, campaigned in 2020, became president in 2024. None of these facts have mattered.

I guess my point is this. These so-called legacy media outlets have not really challenged the president. They've had all of this access in the press. Remember yesterday I was in here saying, yo, why aren't people asking Donald Trump this particular question? Like they are, they haven't really challenged the president in a lot of these cases. Then those media and those journalists need to change, but we need to keep pressing fast. You just can't have somebody that- I'll ask you another simple question. When the last time you've seen a legacy media outlet really challenged president Trump on something? I mean they ask questions every day and

they ask questions not for Trump but they ask questions for the American people so it has nothing to do with whether the president likes it or he does or he doesn't. But I'm saying if we see President... Getting a vast set of information and then them deciding what they want to do with said information. You get it from one side. No, if you ask the president a question and he tells you a blatant lie, where's the pushback? Where's the challenge?

I was going to say, well, there are, Childwood. I asked. I didn't get no answer. I asked who asked, I didn't get no answer. I know that April Ryan has pushed back in terms of questions. April Ryan, yes. I know even Peter Dorsey sometimes at Fox, he has asked some questionable things, which is kind of crazy.

Nobody at Fox is really challenging President Trump more. Come on. So is it all about somebody challenging him or is it just like, what do we... Yes, if he's feuing lies. If he's lying, absolutely. If he's lying, absolutely, he should be. Aimingly, it boils down to those who are challenging him. Again, the White House Correspondence Association is in place so that everybody who is been vetted as a media person, as a

journalist can have that access. But at the same time, that keeps the checks and balances in place so that this so that everyone can have an access. It's not selective, you know, which is essentially what is about to happen. So if I don't have all the information, y'all know where I'm just gonna say that. But that's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood Follow me on social at Morgan Media for more news coverage and I will continue to do my best y'all at black information network Download the free I heart radio app and visit us at BIN news.com Thank you Morgan Alright now when we come back at the Barack will be joining us and also Lamont Roach Jr.

He's fighting tank this weekend, and we're going to talk to him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got some special guests in the building. Our guys. We have Ackon Barack here this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We also have Lamont Roach Jr. who is fighting in our tank this week and he'll be joining us in a second.

Jess is rooting for Lamont Roach. I am not. You don't say that. We know who I'm obviously rooting for. Javontae Davis. But you know. We wanted to speak to you guys, you brothers first because you got some big news. You got a new show coming out.

Yes sir. That's right. So let's break down the show, what the show's going to be talking about and everything. It premiered a couple weeks ago with our first guest being Jake Paul. Which was an in-depth conversation, you know obviously either you love him or you hate him in the sport, you know. I know Charlotte feels a certain way about him in the sport but he's very impactful and that was a great combo. But it's going to be a weekly show on All the Smoke.

I know you guys are familiar with those guys. And this is a division from All the Smoke, All the Smoke Fight. So it's called Ring Champs, Rock and Barack. It's been a long time coming. You know, people know us for being on The Zone and hosting the The Zone Boxing Show. But we partnered up with All the Smoke and we have ownership of the IP and we're excited it's been a long time coming so it's a great home. I respect what Jake Paul has done in the sport I just want him to start fighting real boxers. I mean he already fought a couple of real boxers. Tyson Shearer's brothers. Even before that though see he fought two guys

that nobody even heard of you know what I mean so that So that's the thing, when you fight those guys, nobody's looking for that. So if you come from the YouTube world, you already making 20, 30 million dollars a year, you ain't gonna fight Joe Shmoe because you ain't making no money. So he has to look for these guys in between fighting real fighters.

He has to look for guys that's gonna make him another 20 million. It wasn't a Canelo fight on the cards and then something happened? According to Jake, the fight was signed I don't know if there's any truth to that But there was conversation about it being announced and then you know Some of you may know Turkey Alashik his excellency from Saudi has taken over the sport for the most part

So what is he doing to this book as we keep hearing that? I want to hear about the Canelo-Jake fight So there were rumors that they were gonna fight in May and Canelo was gonna fight Bud Terrence Crawford in September. But Turkey Alashik supposedly offered Canelo a four fight deal where it was too much money to refuse, right? And it's Jake had to be out of the equation, so to speak. So that's what Jake put out there.

But we do know that Canelo does have a four fight with Turkey Alashik and Bud will be the fight in September. Yeah, Jake must have planned to retire after the Canelo fight. That must have been the last hurrah of his boxing career. There's no way. 100 million probably. Easy, 100 million.

Yeah, you'd have made a lot of money, sure. Now talk about the sheik that you've been talking about. They say he's been spending a lot of money in boxing and is he making it back and why? And is it helping the sport, hurting the sport? I mean, it's 100% helping the sport. I mean, for you fight fan, anybody that's a hardcore fight fan, this past weekend, Ferrari 22nd, it was probably the best card in history

in terms of championship back-to-back entertaining fights. Maybe not for the casuals, because first off, it was at, it started at like 12 in the morning on Saturday. But yes, he's putting a lot of money into the sport. Is he getting it back right now? I'm not sure, probably not, but he's creating the lot of money into the sport. If is he getting it back right now? I'm not sure, probably not. But he's creating the fights that everybody wants to see. So for a fight fan, I mean, Charlotte's a Hargo fight fan.

That's a fighter's fight. That's what we want because these fighters want to get paid a certain amount. That's why the fights don't happen, because the money's not there. Money's not an issue with it. That's always been the issue though, because we said we want to see the best fights.

Remember when we was waiting for Terrence Crawford to fight Spence? For a couple of years, because the money, the money wasn't right now. So if somebody come with a whole bag of money, an endless bag of money, then you good for the sport. That's the kind of guy that could get Tank to fight Shakur Stevenson or somebody like that, you know?

So I thought he was good. Why didn't he pay y'all a million dollars just to go over there and do what y'all do? Who said they didn't though? Who said they didn't? Because I'm like, the zone doing all of this in Saudi Arabia. I'm like, what my guys at? Nah, you're right though.

You're right. We are. We need that. We didn't talk to a Turk because we need to be a part of that. But yeah, another thing that's great for the sport is ranked champs, you know? Because all the smoke, right, what they assembled was like an all-star team. We got Andre Ward, Roy Jones, Hall of Famers, the big HBO analysts for years. You know, Matt and Stack, you know what they do. Morning Combat, Luke Thomas and Brian

Campbell. So, and then us, like bringing that young energy to the sport. And we're going to be in every huge fight covering, you know, with live content and our weekly show sitting down with the biggest names of the sport. And yeah, that's what the sport is. You know what I think is, even since our days on thisisfifty.com with 50 Cent, is like we brought that different culture to boxing. There was nobody mainstream like us, urban, you know what I mean?

So it's like, it just made sense for us to transition to all the smoke that already has that finger on the pulse in that culture, you know what I mean? So we're bringing that to boxing. And also Showtime. You know, Brian Daly was an exec at Showtime for years and he was a mind behind a lot of the great content that Showtime put out. So it's just a perfect home for us.

I wonder if not having that cable network like an HBO or Showtime doing boxing, I wonder if that's hurting it because casuals aren't necessarily tuning in. Can you be successful without the casuals? Yeah, you know what, first of all, No. No, no, no, no, no, to answer your question. No, you can't, absolutely cannot.

But think about this, people steal cable nowadays anyway. Most people stealing cable. So in reality, I think the zone is taking over boxing, you know, the network that we started with, but people don't even know they watching the zone when you stealing cable. When you watching these pay per views, you don't know what channel, it's on your box,

it's on your TV, but you don't really know sometimes what network it is because you stealing it. You pirating it, you know what I mean? So to answer your question, no, we can't live without them, but I think it can still thrive. But that's what's hurting the sport, pirating. Not pay for the pay-per-view like get a couple friends together Yeah, you're stealing from the fighters. You still have from us. It's terrible. It's so easy now

I know we said about people in their fire sticks. You always hear about online. You can go to stream Fire stick in here? Raise your hand. The illegal one? Yeah. See? You know what I'm saying? I have. There's one out of every five out of these. 25, 20 percent. Jackson, are you paying for fights? No. You know what I'm saying?

Absolutely not. But you're watching. You're gonna watch Jermonti Davis fight Lamar Roach. Absolutely. You know I'm watching. I'm gonna be in Mexico and I'm still gonna watch it. Oh, no doubt. That's dope.

So, yes. No, he's done amazing things for the sports, Hercules. So, we're excited about this year. Okay, no doubt. That's dope. So, yes. That's dope. No, he's done amazing things for the Sportsurge. So, we're excited about this year. Okay, another one. Do we think Tank is ducking Shaquille Stevenson? Me, personally, no. I don't think Tank is necessarily scared to fight anybody. He's a true fighter. But Tank has become this person that, I guess, is influenced from Floyd, where he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do. He doesn't care about, like, fan so to speak is about money his legacy

and I respect that you know because when it's all said and done the fans they're not gonna take care of you right so he's worried about securing the biggest bags but right now because Turkey Alashik is involved in Shakur Stevenson's career that big bag of money will be offered to Tank to fight Shakur. So I think after, like this year, there won't be anymore excuses on why he's not fighting Shakur because the money will be outrageous.

Beautiful, because the word duck is a loaded word. It implies fear. You know, when we use it in the boxing world, it's like, yo, you scared. So definitely Tank ain't scared of nobody. He puts people to sleep, you know what I mean? But there has to be a reason why here. We do know that he's in charge of his career So if he's not fighting there's not nobody else's reason. And that's one of the best matchups in all of boxing I mean Shakur looked phenomenal. I don't care what people saying that it took him nine rounds to knock this guy out of there

They were complaining that Shakur never stops anybody. He stopped somebody. What else do you want from this kid? Now you gotta stop him earlier. Now you gotta stop him early. Now you gotta stop him in the first round. Yeah, like, he's crazy. To make me happy. But that's the best fighting boxer. Who's the face of boxing now? There is a face.

There is a face, man. Nah, stop frontin'. Canelo Alvarez is the face of boxing. Stop it. Yes, Canelo, but Tank is very popular. Tank is one of the faces. All right, who's the face of basketball right now? LeBron James.

But there's many faces. Right, but the face is LeB faces. But he named one person. That's it. So it's Canelo Alvarez who is a star everywhere around the world. Tank is very very popular but Canelo's the star. All right we got more with Akambarok when we come back and Lamont Rhodes Jr. will be joining us. Don't go anywhere it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy We are the breakfast club. I can Barack is joining us and also Lamont Rhodes jr. Here. He's fighting this weekend. Welcome, brother How you feeling man?

How's your training been so far? It's been perfect. It's been excellent. Honestly grew up in Maryland Yeah, I grew up in DC in Maryland DC in Maryland and you know, so this is Baltimore DC I'm from Washington DC like that's my hometown, that's where I grew up. I grew up in Prince George County, Maryland too, but I'm from DC. You're fighting for the whole city then? Yeah for sure. You got to try to beat Tank. For sure.

Is it like a real Baltimore DC thing? Yeah, it's like, yeah we don't, I'm from Baltimore, we from DC, but their accent is ugly than I was ain't no way Say to see way different Take said something about it. You ain't from from Maryland like what was it? Why was that? Tank said something about it, you ain't from Maryland, like why was that like a shock? Because I'm not from Maryland, I'm from DC. Yeah, DC is not in Maryland. No, I get that but you said you're from DC and Maryland though. Yeah, I mean I lived in both.

Since you grew up in the same amateur time period, were you ever friends? Yeah, I mean I've known him since I was like 10, so we always seen each other like, he always made it to the Nationals, I always made it to the Nationalsals So he was always like in those tournaments. We see each other all the time Have you fought before? twice Who won? We fought a lot Who won when y'all fought?

When we fought he won both times the first time we fought in Baltimore. That was BS and he shouldn't have won that How old were you? First time you fought him 15 15 What kind of win was it? It was a split decision win in Baltimore, 3-2. But it's like some BS happened.

My dad sent the tape to USA Boxing and they was like, nah, that shouldn't happen. You felt like you won that fight? Yeah, for sure. I mean, USA Boxing sent me an at-large bid to the Nationals. We fought in the Regionals. I mean, he was the Regional champ, but when they seen the video, they was like, all right, we'll send you an at-large bid. And they put us on two sides of the bracket

He made the championship I made the championship and he won a close fight in the championship one or two in the nation though since you fought him and Sparta is he the hardest puncher you shared the ring with? You know a little older or Spawn was just during that time. Spawn was like before we even fought. Like the last time we was in the ring together is when we fought. Okay. I was 15. Before he became the Reaper. Yeah. But back then I was considered a bigger puncher than him like you know same as the amateurs. What about now? How do you feel like you're a bigger puncher than him now? I feel like I'm a bigger puncher than Mike Tyson.

That's right. But um. Alcon Barack what do you think of this? No, no, no. That's not about the G. What's he supposed to say? Like, nah I don't really punch that guy? He asked a question. I ain't mad at him. He asked me a question. There's only one way to figure it out. Just hit Charlamagne one good time. I'm hitting the floor now. I'm hitting the floor. I do know he don't get the credit he deserves being a puncher. But look, obviously you're the underdog because you got a loss already. You lost to Jermell Herring who got beat by Shakur.

So how are you a better fighter than that time period? I'm a thousand times better fighter than that time. Like you know, I took that, I took from that fight was, you know, they not going to get you none. I started a little late on that fight. If I would have started earlier, I probably would have knocked him out. Like we planned on doing. We never planned on winning on the scorecards in that entire camp.

That entire camp. It was stacked against us. Top rank card. He was a champ. It was Veterans Day weekend. They had a story on him and you know what I'm saying, his tragedies and stuff like that. It was just, it was built for the, you know what I'm saying, for the champ to- Dudes serve the country.

How can you not root for'm saying? For the champion. It served the country. I can do not root for that guy, I feel you. So you know what I'm saying? So we knew we wasn't going to get none on paper, but you know I just started a little late. So what about this fight? Tank is being said, like they was asking who's the face of boxing and Tank is one of those faces.

He's one of them, yeah. So are you going in that game, you going in this with the game plan that I got to knock him out in order to get the victory? Nah, not necessarily, but I'm trying to. I mean I be trying to knock anybody out. I'm trying, I'm forever, I'm trying to get sh** cracking. So what do you do, let's say you win the fight come Saturday night, what do you do? Do you stay, because it's a different weight class. You already a champion at 130. You coming up to 135 fighting a champion there, do you stay in that weight

class or you go back down? I'm gonna do both. I'm gonna try to do to try to do both. I talked to the WBA already and hopefully- But you can eat Twinkies now, you good. I am, I ain't going to lie. If he wins, he's fighting Tank again. Obviously there's a rematch clause in the contract. There's a rematch clause, yeah, no, definitely. I have no choice but to stay at 35, but I did ask them to, if I I can let me do my obligations to Keep my belt at 30 just in case the business don't line up at 35 people might be busy

All the champs might be busy. They might be fighting somebody Let's pray they don't but if they do I can go unify at 30 What did you learn from your loss against Jamal Herring that you would take into this fight? Like how did the loss make you a better fighter? It just it just made me realize that obviously I wasn't doing everything I needed to do to be a complete champion. You gotta think I was I just turned 24 I'm looking at myself already as world champ on top of the world being ready to be this big money guy or whatever the case may be. But it made me buckle down, it humbled me and made me sit down and really do my work and really be a student of the game, adapt everything and again, that they ain't gonna

get nothing to you, you gotta go take it. And that's what I adapted, that's when I changed my, that's when I made my name, my nickname the Reaper officially and I took on that moniker as I made my name, my nickname, The Reaper, officially. And I took on that moniker as I can't take no for an answer no more. You know, I thought about that too, because I saw Javontes train and say that Tank's biggest fear is losing.

And I wonder if it's too much pressure to keep up an undefeated record. And where did that mentality come from? Was it Floyd? Yes, definitely Floyd Floyd. 100%. Yeah. Now when you train, right, is it a part of your process to study the other fighter?

Yeah. Okay, so what would you say is Tang's biggest weakness? Ooh, we gon' see. We gon' see. Oh, you can't say. He can't say. I can't tell you right now, because he might see this,

but we got a few. We got a few. Hey y'all, I'm Maria Fernanda Diaz. My podcast, When You're Invisible, is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life.

I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi. And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill-conceived investigative hookups.

They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones, or are they? We used to work drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't. Oh, that is beyond creepy.

Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely. Listen to Obscurum, Invasion of the Drones, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And the things that he does well is important too. Well you know what you could do, you could tell us offline and then when you win we'll say oh yeah he told us. Let's ask Akin Barack, I mean what do you think Tank's weakness is and what do you think tanks weaknesses? What do you date roaches weaknesses? I'm not gonna talk about his weaknesses

As far as take I mean I would say Charlotte pointed to earlier where he starts late, right? He loses rounds early in the fight because he's relying on that you know one hitter quitter which Deontay did as well a lot so I think that Tank has a skill to start earlier I would say that one of the things that I feel like that he should change. I'm gonna tell all the Tank trainers now he better not start late with me it's gonna be a long night.

It's gonna be a real long night. I don't really think Tank has weaknesses I I've seen him get frustrated back in 2017. And that's a weakness, but I haven't seen that. Fonteca? I think so, Fonteca. It was, but see that? Yeah. But since then I haven't seen that.

But all fighters get frustrated at some point in a fight. And I can tell you he had weaknesses when I seen him fight Jermell Herring, but I don't see that now. You get what I'm saying? So I've seen them both. So what weaknesses? What weaknesses he had? They both did the same thing about starting late. They both did the same thing about starting late.

They both did the same thing about starting late and that he wasn't being first. So he playing the same too. You know what I'm saying? I'm telling him. I'm telling him. I'm not a chump. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't mean I'm not calling him a chump. I'm just saying that. Yo, your show gonna be so out there.

You ain't never seen that guy. I'm not a chump. I'm not calling him a chump. Yeah. They can work together for a long time. I'm saying give them the books. This is amazing. You wasn't trying to be first when you should have been first. That's all I'm trying calling him a choker. They've been working together for a long time. This is amazing. You wasn't trying to be first when you should have been first. That's all I'm trying to say.

Alright, we got more with Akon Barak and Lamont Roach Jr. when we come back. He's fighting Tank this Saturday at the Barclays. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's D, E, J, N, V, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Akon Barak are here. Also Lamont Roach Jr. boxer who is fighting tank this weekend at the Barclays Center now I'm a casual boxer watcher becoming more of a fight fan. Yeah. Yeah, but so You guys haven't got too disrespectful with each other

Usually I see disrespect out the window is F your mother your kids all that I haven't seen that with this one Why is that he cool? See Javante played too damn much though like he a troll though. And I troll back that's the thing. See I troll back. So I never fool anyone that's obviously of his like stature and as a stardom, but we follow each other. We see each other. I already know he a troll, so I know what to expect. Some people know that I am a troll and I can be funny on the socials for sure and I'm going to have a comeback for whatever you got.

So that's the thing. It's a little different because we fight in each other now. So imagine me, I see everything that he do with a troll or everybody else. And the other thing is, they be having, he definitely be having personal vendettas with other people, or people be having personal vendettas with him.

They really be having issues. I saw him label you, he said that you and Bud would be actual challenges. He said like, Haney, I think he said Stevenson. Oh yeah, I seen that too. And Davis would be light work, but he actually said you and Bud would be challenges. What'd you think of that when you heard?

He telling the truth. When it come to me. He telling the truth. Oh, well not when it come to Bud? Uh huh. Not when it come to Bud? I think he telling the truth too. I mean obviously he's big and he's one of the best fighters in the world.

Specifically when it come to me, yeah like, and I think people trying to, oh, he lying to sell a fight or whatever the case may be. Nah, like this is real fun. So what do you say to tank fans like Jess, like that don't believe in you, that don't think you gonna win, that think you might get knocked out. Think you got an accent. So what do you say to those type of fans like Jess,

like look at Jess right now. Nah see cause I'm okay cause people get behind them keyboards they get a little disrespected. That Jess see behind them keyboards? Yo bro I ain't never said nothing about you. I ain't never said nothing about you. Nah last week you did say boss they're roach. You said boss the uncles boss they're roach. You did say that last week. You said, Bucky Muggles, watch that roach. You didn't say that last one.

You said something like that. She said something about Raid. I don't know. See? But no, this the thing. I said I didn't know you. I didn't know who you was until Tank. You know what I mean? That's all I said. And I said, yeah, he gonna beat you. Just cause that's my man.

That's disrespectful. That's the only way I go though. I mean, a lot of people gonna be like, I don't know who he is, so he gonna get knocked out. He gonna do this. He gonna be sleepy. He need to get a pillow. Obviously, I see that **** is my phone. You know what I'm saying?

But it's just like, I don't know **** about boxing. I don't, yo. I don't. It's all right. That ain't Travis. He'll break down when the fight be on. It's a long hit. I don't, I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't.

I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't.

I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't.

I don't. I don't. I don't. I don here to fight the best. I want to be the best. That's what really drives my whole career. I got in this to be the best. So, if he's a pound for pound talent, what they gonna think about me when I win? So if you do beat Tank and then fight a rematch and beat him again, obviously you want to fight the other champs at 135. Let's say that scenario happens and Shakur should be on your, you know, one of your targets.

Who do you think is a harder fight, Tank or Shakur for yourself stylistically? That's a good question. Shakur a bad boy man. I mean I've been in the ring with him more than recently. More than recently. Shakur a bad boy. You don't get the credit you deserve if you ask me. I mean everybody.

I mean it's just the outside looking in and they comparing him to a knockout artist. That's not fair. You know what I'm saying? It's just not fair. Good point. I don't know. Shakur, it seems like your leader told Shakur he'll be in a more difficult fight.

Maybe. Damn. I wanna ask you about that, right? When you dealing with a knockout artist coming at you and he say he wanna knock you out between six and eight rounds. He's silly as ****. What?

I'll tell you that right now. I'll tell you what- Is there any level of fear to that? At all? No, what did I just say? Silly. Bam. But listen, as far as betting, right?

We were looking at odds, and in order for you to win a hundred bucks, you gotta bet 400, the tech knocks you out. So I never see odds like that. You gotta bet so much to win so little. So essentially, essentially it's saying you are definitely getting knocked out. So I never seen odds like that. Like you got to bet so much to win so little. So essentially, essentially saying you are definitely getting knocked out. That's what the odd makers are saying. It's crazy. So if you bet, did y'all see the odds for the Hectophyte? No. Oh no, it was bigger though. It was bigger than that. It was bigger. So obviously we cleaned up that night. Right. Right. It's going to be a repeat.

Telling you right now. People gonna make some money. Oh my God. You's gonna be a repeat. I'm telling you right now. People gonna make some money? You bet on yourself? Is that illegal? I don't know. He's just joking if that's illegal. I'm not gonna lie, you do have a level of confidence that makes me feel like, let me put a couple dollars. You got a couple dollars, you got a couple dollars.

100%. I told them in the green room, like, I've seen Summer Tank's tanks opponents even though they talk smack We lose you not him Do you try to in I mean of course you're gonna engage but do you rely on your defense more and try to outbox tank Or do you go in there and mix it up? It's gonna be it's gonna be mixed up for sure. We're gonna apply pressure We're gonna be smart. We're gonna be defensive. We're gonna be smart. We're gonna be defensive We're gonna do everything we're gonna do everything. We're gonna make him perform as best

We're gonna make him perform at his best. We're gonna make him think we're gonna make him feel pressure I'm gonna make him feel like all right now I gotta get this like I get out the way of the when I tell you I really be trying to knock everybody out It's not just like me going crazy, but if I can I'm gonna try Yeah, you know what I like to hear that too because I ain't gonna lie tank my man But I got tired of paying money for the fights and it's over too fast For the fight and by the time I got in there it was the one in Atlanta by the time I got in there It was over so I was pissed so you better make them work for it

Okay, it's gonna be real worth your money. So this is the biggest fight of your life for sure I think it define your career. I don't lose I always say that this is the because I'm gonna win but this the start of my legacy run You know how fighters who who you know gonna be in the Hall of Fame? Yeah, have that distinctive start of their room. Right? This will be it. This this gonna be it This gonna be especially cuz you know, he talking about retiring and all that. I think it's going to be hard for him to get back in the ring if he lose. Because he already talking about retirement.

So if we do have two fights, that's damn sure going to be my legacy run. Because we have two fights where you got this knockout artist that's a pound for pound talent that people are saying is one of the and not saying who is one of the biggest speck speck in boxing right now if I beat him twice then go on to unify no matter what win or lose I'm still fighting the best fights and it's always gonna be a dance like especially if I got a good dance partner in there with me it's always gonna be a good fight especially if I got a good dance partner in there with me. It's always gonna be a good fight. So this fight is defining the start of my legacy run and that's where I want to go off to my Hall of Fame.

I want to go up to 40 and fight too. So Hall of Fame, that's your goal. As a fighter, when it's all said and done, you want to be a Hall of Famer and you need this fight to get you there. I'm setting out to be one of the best to ever lace up some girls. This Saturday. 29 years old, good luck this Saturday. I'm saying I'm setting out to be one of the best that ever lays up some of us This Saturday, 29 years old good luck this Saturday.

This is Lauren's legal corner. Now, let's get to this because we get these updates on dirt. What's going on? Yeah. So I mean, Dirk is still right now sitting for that murder for hire case that we talked about before. But there's something new that surface. So there's a now a new wrongful

death lawsuit that has been filed against little dirt. The family of surveyor Robinson now is who filed the lawsuit surveyor Robinson is the cousin of quando rondo cuando rondo is the artist the rapper who was in the car and or yeah, it was a car who was in the car and it was in Hollywood back in 2022. And someone shot up the car and his cousin was killed in the in the midst of the like the shooting or whatever or them trying to get to him. And up the car and his cousin was killed in the midst of the like the shooting or whatever or them trying to get to him. And now the family member of that cousin is who is put suing Dirk. So on top of the murder for hire stuff that he now has to deal with, he now has this civil

case and what they're saying is that because of because of whatever was trying to happen during this murder fire, they lost their Sevea Robertson. So they want some compensation for it. They want to be duly rewarded for it. So Derrick has a lot to handle right now. That's the update. It's like they added some more on to it.

Okay. And then other rapper news. But that's just civil, right? That's not criminal? Yeah. A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil case Um, so but on the criminal side, he's dealing with the murder for hire That's why I'm like it just piled on at this point. Hmm. Gotcha now

Birdman. Yeah was either sleep or high as giraffes ass on stage yesterday Yeah, so Birdman and the hot boys y'all know that they're out on that. It's like the Twitter. Yes, they got the Hot Boys. Yes. Now there's a video right now going crazy viral all over the internet, all over the outlets of Birdman on the stage.

They're in the middle of a song and he appears to like nod off. His eyes are just closed. I don't know what is happening. You can't, I mean, you can't really see his eyes. Well, if you ever popped a perk before, you know what's happening. And that was a mean you can't really see his eyes We have a pop the perk before you know what's happening and that was a 30 if if that Allegedly that was you can stand up like that and sleep in our fall Absolutely, you dropped in Baltimore City or Philly or drive to add you I ain't never seen nobody doing in New York But yes, they don't they know not to fall. I don't know not to fall. They sleep in this day

Listen, okay, could y'all could y'all put some respect on Birdman age the man is 56 years old You know when you get to a certain age you gonna catch a nap any and everywhere Respect on anything over there Yes, you put you you catch a nap any and everywhere that man on stage every night running around for the first time and who knows How long let me catch a little nap while juvenile rapping? I ain't gonna say it again. I ain't gonna say No, he like to come up here. Yeah, well he gonna go up here and go to sleep.

I just slept in a club before, right? But I'm usually leaning on something. Like if I'm sitting in a section and I'm leaning on something, but standing up is wrong. He's mastered the art. Hello, Catnap, how long was he out for? It was real quick. Let me rest my eyes for a second. BG came on, Turk just performing, a performing BG comes over he's like And like yeah like hey

Let the perk be to come on man Catch me a little cat man 56 All right with you turn 46 top of 56 a no My stuff after the show Don't ever play with me like that that was when I was pregnant and I was tired. Everybody need a nap here and there.

Okay. I'm now I'm going to say this. We don't know what it was. We don't know if it was the case of the 50 60s need a little nap situation or if it was something else. People were concerned. People were very concerned. You know what you're doing. Or if it wasn't something else people were concerned So, I mean if I can find someone to reach out to we gotta reach out to Tony Braxton

Me you can reach out to Turk Hopefully someone will come out and clear it up because the fans were concerned. Now really quick, there was something that from the last hour we were talking, before we got to a dirt, we were talking about attorney Buzzbee. And I did want to mention too on the, it's in relation to the civil suit that we were talking about. That amended civil suit where he had added Jay-Z on and accused Jay-Z of sexually assaulting the 13 year old girl back in 2000, which was dismissed. Jay-Z then filed, he filed an extortion lawsuit and a defamation lawsuit. Right? Now defamation

is very hard to prove. Not only is it hard to prove, but it's also really tough for you to get a judge to say, yo, this is even worth a court looking at. Right recently, within the last like this, this just happened where a judge says, hey, I don't know if the extortion will move forward. But we'll take a look at that. They're going to be back in court on March 26. But I do believe that you do have a case for defamation and they're basing it off of public statements that attorney Busby said, because at one point in time when he was like doing

these, these, like all of the press conferences, yeah, he referred to the accuser as a sexual assault survivor, despite the allegations against Jay-Z not being proven and eating some substance to them. And then also there was like a social media post implying that Jay-Z was the unnamed defendant before we found out, because remember we didn't know at first who was the unnamed defendant. Oh yeah, correct. There was a post that implied that it was Jay-Z and they have evidence that Tony Busby

or his Instagram page liked it apparently and because of this information the judge is saying yo we gonna move forward with this defamation case and take it to trial and actually examine it to see what's going on. So I did want to make sure I added that in there as well too. Keep your ass off the internet. That's how it be. I love it when people go at these people with real money that it doesn't, it don't care that the fact they got to spend millions to fight this. I love that

because most people will be like I ain't got that much money to do it or I don't have the time. But hoes got the time. And eventually it'll stop the griff. We've told you all a million times it's a griff. Like you know somebody comes to these lawyers, these lawyers come to the you know the artists whoever it is and they hey, if you don't settle with us, we're gonna have these press conferences. We're gonna put these stories out there and we're gonna make these allegations. It's like, come on, man.

At some point, somebody gotta know it's a grip. Cardi too, Cardi got the money and time, she's the same way, she gonna throw them, yep, I love it. We gonna live in court when it comes to my reputation and my name. Thank you, Lauren, with the legal corner. You see me? Oh, that's right.

Now reach out to Turk and see what's going on so we can have an update. That's not legal though. Oh it will be. It will be when he hears what I say. Go ahead. Alright, Shaila man who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour, sad situation in North Carolina. There's a young 16 year old man named Sean Simpson who needs to come to the front of the congregation we'd like to have a we'd like to have a word with you okay okay all right we'll get to that next is the Breakfast Club good morning you're checking out the Breakfast Club I'll make junkie a day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in this street. That is why Charlamagne with it. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have been. We never would say anything. You don't give a damn, don't throw it home.

Hey! Charlamagne, give it to him. Give it to him. On The Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlamagne the God. He's a donkey, that's what he is. Motherf**ker. Oh man, Charlamagne, you giving given donkey the data who now?

Well Buster rhymes donkey of the day for Wednesday February 26 goes to Sean Simpson Sean Simpson is a 16 year old North Carolina t-jet teenager who broke down in tears after in court after being charged as an adult for murder Let's go to Fox 46 for the report, please Sean Simpson came at the Gaston County Court at points wiping away his tears as he stood before a judge. Just 16 years old he's being charged with first degree murder as an adult. That's as a result of a law change that went into effect in December which allows teens his age to be charged as an adult in certain crimes. There was a realization that during this proceeding that the gravity was hitting

him. A grand jury indictment that could come in the near future and a moment that hit when a judge told him that he would not be seeing freedom anytime soon. Court made him of the hold without bond. Court finds sufficient allegations to support the charges. The charges were ordered held without bond. But it was something that Zequavius Daw Dawkins family says they needed to be here for. Simpson accused of killing Dawkins Sunday night along Chester Street. Simpson also accused with attempted first degree murder involving another victim.

Dawkins family says he was going to get medical supplies for his mother when he was killed. I would say this is a teachable moment but I've been alive 46 years and I haven't seen too many of you learn yet. Okay all of these are reruns sadly. I don't understand why we aren't breaking this cycle. I don't understand why we aren't learning. I mean, truthfully, this was me at 16 or 17. Of course I never killed anyone, but I've been in dumb ass situations like this.

When I was 16 or 17, I went to jail for assault and baddie would intend to kill. Okay, the charge got changed to pointing and presenting a firearm, but I was literally just in the backseat of a car and one of my homies shot at another car. Just dumb and young and reckless. Wasn't about nothing.

Just teenage kids who don't really know any better. I wrote about it in my first book, Black Frig was the Opportunity. It comes to those who create it. The reason I'm telling this story is because when my homie shot there was three people in the car. The bullet hit the headrest of the seat nobody was sitting in. The empty seat behind the passenger seat. But what if that seat wasn't empty?

Did not go to jail for accessory to murder, unless I snitched, which I probably would have. My point is, trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of. And none of us have the time stone from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, okay? The time stone allows the user to control time. You can rewind, fast forward, travel through time.

When you see this young man, Sean Sean Simpson break down like that in court don't you think he wish he had a time stone so he could rewind the time and not do what he did of course he would of course okay Sean and the young man he killed the Quavius Dawkins had a fight according to People magazine the previous year at Ashbrook High School. I don't know who won the fight but it clearly wasn't Sean and guess what kids you got to learn to take an ass with it okay because these are just all hypotheticals I'm about to spew but if you fight get your ass whipped even if it goes viral so what okay when anger rises think of

the consequences would you rather go viral because you got your ass beat in school? Or would you rather go viral because you in the courtroom getting charged with murder and then when you get charged with murder, you looking like Simba screaming, screaming out after Mufasa got trampled by the wildebeest. Okay, this is exactly what Simba felt in that moment, a mix of shock, grief and disbelief.

But the grief you feel, spending the rest of your life in jail because you get in charge as an adult, isn't the same as the grief Zequavius' mother feels. So I don't feel bad for you. Okay, I'm sad about the situation because two young black men aren't gonna have a future and society keeps failing these young men.

I read that Sean is being held in the Gaston Adolescent Center where he has been undergoing treatment. Okay, the center treats children and adolescents that have significant emotional and behavioral difficulties. Now I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary but why wasn't he getting this treatment before he committed a murder? I guess I still got to say allegedly but allegedly. There had to be signs. There had to be some type of disciplinary issues at home and in school but those signs

were clearly ignored. But of course, we don't get people help until it's way too late. And that's what I'm sad about. These things could be prevented. But I don't feel bad for Sean. Because Zequavius was walking to a store to buy items for his disabled mother. And that's when Sean saw them. That's when Sean shot them.

Listen to me read what it says. Okay, this is what it says happened in People Magazine. I'm gonna read this and you tell me what movie this sounds like. Zequavious and his friend walk in the family dialer to get items for Zequavious's mother. A black Tesla drives past and a boy in the back seat identify that Sean Simpson shouts something out the window.

Zequavious and his friend began to run when the car returns again Sean Simpson allegedly starts shooting from the back and that's how Poise's Quavius got shot and killed what movie does that sound like? Boys in the Damned Hood. Y'all was ready to say Boys in the Damned Hood Ricky. But this ain't no movie dog. Ok the Quavius is dead for real because Sean Simpson made a choice that he is clearly now regretting and that he clearly can't change and

Destiny is not a matter of chance It's always a matter of choice and I'm sad that Sean Simpson didn't make a better choice, but I'm not moved By Sean Simpson's tears. I'm not moved by his outburst in court You know why because I know the Equavius Dawkins mother is crying way harder You know why? Because I know that Quavius Dawkins' mother is crying way harder than Sean Everwell. Okay? There is a quote and the quote is everyone makes mistakes in life but that doesn't mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Kids, I want to tell y'all that quote is a lie. Okay? Yes, everyone makes mistakes in life and depending what that mistake is, you will probably pay for it for the rest of your life literally and first degree murder in North Carolina

is absolutely a life sentence please give Sean Simpson the biggest he'll 16 years old man 16 that's crazy but for me it was him breaking down. Oh, realizing what it is? Yeah, like, you know. Too late? Nah, it is. You know, you out here trying to be a YN, you about to go to jail and be a YB. Nope, I'm sorry. I do not be feeling sorry for, like, yo, come on, like, that little boy not here no more.

Right. This is all because you couldn't just fight him. You couldn't just keep fighting him. Just that's ain't how it used to be back in the day. Before you go get a gun, you keep fighting until you win or whatever. Just... Well, I mean, people used to come back blasting too. We used to say the same thing back in the day. I think now it's heightened.

Yeah, I was going to say... Because it's recorded and goes viral, not a world sees it. As opposed to just your hood. Yeah, but it happens often, like almost every day. It happens a lot. It seems like guns are more accessible. Yeah At a higher rate, right because growing up you probably only well I'm from New York countries a lot different But you might have only known one person with a gun. Yeah, or maybe two people

We didn't have guns and then if in New York you'd automatically get, I think it's two years or three years in prison if you were found with a gun. So I'm 46 years old, gun violence has been going on since the beginning of time. But I didn't know, now it seems like every kid has a gun. Yeah. Like, and not just small guns, I mean ARs, I mean shotguns, I mean UZIs, I mean extended clips. Everybody had to grow up just like you or something. Like, we all live in like you like the country's a little different

No, we're not acting like this is a new conversation No, no Beginning of time and even by the way, I just mentioned one boy in the hood Right. This is the same scenario from menace society society do get beat up any comeback blast and this is life sadly Yeah, I know I said the cycle doesn't ever break. This has been going on for a long long time I'm not gonna sit here and tell that lie like, you know Gun violence has not been prevalent for a long time. It has but it seemed like it's gotten worse in the last Last couple years. Yeah, it's just with somebody else got a different opinion respect it and shut up

I maybe we just care more because we're adults now. Because think about it, when we were young we used to glorify it. When we were young you kind of used to celebrate it a lot. That's just the fact of the matter. Let's open up the phone lines about this kid. 800-585-1051. Do you feel bad for this kid? He's 16 years old.

He allegedly shot two teens. He's not going to be charged as a child. He's not gonna be charged as a child. He's gonna be charged as an adult He broke down in court yesterday crying so you can tell where his mind frame is 800-585-1051 let's discuss. Yeah, let's discuss. You feel sympathy. Do you feel sad for this young man? Something bad for the situation of the cycle that never seems to be in I'm sad for the little boy mother I'm not here. That's that's part of the cycle. Yeah, but that's who I'm sad for. Let's talk about it.

We'll take phone calls. We'll talk about it in depth when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club.

If you're just joining us, Charlamagne gave Donkey of the Day the who? Man, it's a young man in North Carolina named Sean Simpson. He's 16 years old. And he broke down in tears in court after being charged as an adult for murder Can we hear this young man? Very sad 16 year old Katie found out that he's gonna be tried as an adult and not as a child broke down in tears I think I hit him right there I think he realized like I might not never come out ever, you know me. Yeah, cuz he not really about that life That's what happened. So we're asking

885 105 1 do you feel bad for? I know how to say you feel bad for the boy but I'm sad about the overall situation because it's a never-ending cycle of Just gun violence in our community. And you know, this kid is 16 years old. You would think at 16, he would have enough, you've seen it happen enough times to know what the end result is.

You would think so, but it feels like people just keep making the same mistakes over and over. And I hate the fact that they're saying he's in a detention center now, receiving treatment for emotional and behavioral issues. Nobody saw that since he's been alive 16 years. He just goes from zero to murder. Nobody saw that. It don't matter. And you know it's f'd up. I don't feel bad for the young man. I'm sad that it happened but I don't feel bad for me. Once you put that gun in your hand and

you use that gun consequences happen and you fired that gun and now he has to deal with the consequences The sad thing is is that young man was failed somehow some way and maybe it was parenting Maybe it was mental issues Like you said it was something that failed that young man and we need to have these conversations a lot of times We don't have these conversations till it's too late. We need to have, his ego was bruised. No, not mentally, but his ego was bruised. He lost the fight and he couldn't take the loss and he came back and wanted to make himself feel better and feel good. He had the gun or whatever in there, you know what I mean?

All of that, the social pressure gets to these kids and they living their lives looking at these YNs online. You want to be, you want to do that, then you break down in jail, you asking for your mother. I mean, you break down in court. You about to go to jail, you asking for your mother. No, the other kid can't even have his mother. His mother ain't got no kid no more. Like, no, I don't feel sorry for his ass.

I don't feel sorry for him, but you know, we always talk about solutions and sometimes we need to have these conversations a lot earlier. Like, hey, y'all, I'm Maria Fernanda Diaz.

Like you were having the conversations,

all the resources are available. None of this is new. I'm 46 years old. Like we've been having these conversations to beginning of time and it seems like nobody is learning. That's why I say you should feel bad for the situation because it's another ending cycle and whatever this system is that exists as long as there are products of that system like this kid Sean, any of us could be a victim. Now you're right but I also feel like hopefully these young kids out there that are thinking about it sees this kid and say, you know what?

I don't want to be that. I would hope so. But it doesn't seem like they do. It seems like that's not going to be me. That's the thing I always say all the time. You think about it, that ain't even the first young man we've seen break down in court once the reality of them consequences hit them. You know what I'm saying?

We've seen them young men pass out in court, cry, break down in tears, start screaming for their mama when they get sentenced to 100 Years that's why you know I respect guys like wallow or anybody that's gone to do like them long prison sentences and come home and tell people the reality of what's going on in those jails the Reality of the choices that they're making out here, but guess what even with all those examples these kids are still making them right so i so because he also spoke on the fact that yo he can't tell he can't expect for you to he can preach to them all day like wallow says sitting on shannon sharp show yep you can i can speak to you and i can tell you but if i can't provide provide the resources for you or or like help you make a change right now because this is all you know or this is what the environment

that you're in then i can't really be mad at you when you do things like this I do understand that and that's why I'm speaking to the system yeah I'd understand that but at some point it's still like a like somebody like no it's still a situation where it's like yo I shouldn't be doing this like man these kids know what's up I bet you if he didn't get caught he would be going around bragging about it or wouldn't even be absolutely like, you know, I'm saying it's when they get caught That's not like you said that mother lost a child. Yes, like and and and if anybody out there has ever lost a child or something And put yourself in that predicament. No, you want that whoever did it you're gonna be in jail for We're saying that we don't feel bad for the young man

But we sat be still sad for the system man, but we feel sad for the sister. Think about what Jess just said. Jess just said them kids know better, right? So if you know better, why are you not choosing better? That's what should scare people. I don't think they think about the consequences when they do it. That's what should scare people. You're right.

Don't you think about the consequences if you just killed somebody. Malika? Yes? Good morning. Good morning. Talk to us. So um ask the question again. Do you feel sorry for the young man? Do you feel sorry for the young man? Yes or no? Um only reason I'm yes or no is because I'm a mom of three boys and I know when kids that are black and brown like her they come out as products of their environment and from me watching him break down I feel like I need more details like there is young men out here that really are like products of the environment. And when you're a young impressionable 16 year old, every single song, every movie tells you to retaliate. Every movie tells you, get it back in blood. You gotta go back and get your

hop if you have to do something dirty to you. But that's why as parents, so you gotta make sure you have control of your kids and make sure they're not being raised by these songs and these movies and these artists that are doing entertainment and just their environment period I want to put it all on the art and the environment as well it could be their friends even though because I'm telling you like parents you lose control like you can't like your parents can't be with you 24-7 they still gonna do it right hello who's this what's this? What's up, boss? Yo, this is my friend Drake. What's going on, y'all?

What's up, bro? Talk to us. What's your thoughts, bro? You feel bad for this young man? Yeah, I do feel bad for this young man, absolutely. I want to say, I work with an organization in Harlem by the name of Fathers Forward, the 501-C-3, and we're directly connected to parent and community engagement. This is exactly why these type of things happen, because our men don't have anybody to talk to, they don't have anybody to trust with their sensitivities,

and that's a huge part of what Father's Forward is about. So I absolutely feel for the young man. I committed the crime and I absolutely feel for the family that lost their life. Absolutely. But I just want to resonate on your point Envy. Gun violence is worse because me and Envy, we're from the same area. I'm from the Bronx, the Queens, we're on the same age. because me and Envy, we're from the same area. I'm from the Bronx, this is Queens, we're on the same age. Gun violence absolutely is worse, even statistically showing. Putting the guns in the hands of these young people,

it's just, it's absolutely upholing. So thank you guys, keep doing what you're doing. Thank you, brother. 800-585-1051. Now, Charlamagne gave Donkey the day to a 16-year-old boy. Sean Simpson, who got charged with murder as an adult, he killed, I want to say the brother's name too. The brother's name is Zequavius Dawkins.

Rest in peace to the young brother Zequavius Dawkins. They had a fight in school the previous year and then the dude Sean came back and shot Zequavius later. And it's okay to take an L. I just wanna tell kids that. Absolutely. It's okay to take an L. We've seen Charlamagne take an L on video.

You know what I mean? I've taken L's before. I'm sure, Jess, she from Baltimore, I'm sure you took an L. It's okay. It's all right. That makes you strong. That makes you better.

It's okay. You get to live a time of the day. That's why I said during Donkey, when that anger rises, think of the consequences. Everybody got ego and social media makes it bad. And it ain't even just the kids. You got grown adults that fall victim to what people are saying on social media.

Like, they go in there, they read the comments. So imagine getting into a fight and then it goes online and not just your whole school, though. What you think is the whole world is coming after you. But that still don't give you a reason to go take a life and throw your life away. You win some, you lose some. But you live, you live to fight another day.

You feel bad for this 16 year old boy? Let's discuss this at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Call, call, call, call. Tell her, tell her, maybe. Just for some conversation. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Charlamagne's Donkita Dave. Now you gave Donkita Dave to who? A 16 year old named Sean Simpson in North Carolina who's being charged with murder, man. Him and a young brother named Equavius Dawkins got into a fight in high school the previous

year and then this dude Sean just came back and killed him in January. We're asking 800-585-1051 do you feel sad for that young brother? Hello who's this? This is Raquel Warren. Hey Raquel good morning what's your thoughts Raquel? Oh good morning my thoughts right now I'm actually headed we got a packet for my 16 year old son oh man I'm sorry to name it Tyrae Campbell he was shot and killed by someone he thought was a friend and because the boy who shot him is the son of a police everything is being swept under the road and people are afraid to they are afraid to come forth and say exactly what they saw because we just a little bit just to

back up I'm a single mother of four I have a 17 I have a 17 year old Tyrae was 16 I have a 13 year old and a 10 year old daughter so the boy who shot him he thought was a brain he's actually he's not seen when I arrived to the siege the boy who shot him, he thought was a friend, he's at the next scene. When I arrived to the scene, the boy's father was on the scene already. And I automatically felt like these things have been allowed to be on the scene because his son had shot and killed. Not only that, he shot one of his other friends, but he survived. But they were trying to say it was an accident. But when is it an accident? when you pull out your gun and

aim and shoot so he's been charged with involuntary manslaughter and two orders of disorder condo that should be for the poor who still living my son should have a murder charge he should be a murder charge for him shooting my son and son. And where you calling from? Where you calling from? Poclis, Georgia. But my kids are originally from Walterville, South Carolina. But I left their head when they was a toddler. Wow.

Man, I'm so sorry that you're going through what you're going through, man. Absolutely. Yeah, it's the absolute worst. I have no feelings going to kick out a casket for my 16-year-old son. Absolutely right. I'm so sorry.

Absolutely. Nobody wants to go under the casket. Well, I mean, I'm trying to care. What can we do to help you? I mean, do you want to, I don't know, say to, I don't know what you can, can you say the person's name or do you, do you want to say that? Well, I'm not sure if I can because he's 19. Got you. But I do have a, I do have a Facebook. I've been trying to make it aware of it all because like I said, it's a small town that

we live in. So I feel because he's the son of a police officer that it's going to get swept under the rug. It's not going to get attention like that because people are scared to come for us. What we'll do is we'll put you on hold and a producer will get all your information and you can just keep us abreast to everything that's going on and if we can help you in any way we would love to. Alright, thank you so much.

Hold on, okay? Okay. Alright, wow. Alright, we have a moral to the story? I mean the moral of the story to me man is just like you know even though gun violence has always been prevalent in our communities, you know, if's getting worse, that's because the system isn't broken, it's designed to work that way. It's a reason they don't put resources

in certain communities. They don't want our kids to have education. These kids aren't getting behavioral and mental health treatment early. They don't want our kids to have opportunities to be the best version of themselves. And that's why this cycle doesn't end, because it's a never ending cycle.

And whatever the system is that exists, as long as there's products in that system, roaming these streets, we always gonna have to watch our backs. It shouldn't be easier to get a gun than it is a good education. It shouldn't be easier to get a gun than it is to get good behavioral and mental health

resources. Right, it shouldn't be easier to get a gun than it is to get a job. That's a fact. All right, well, I would like to close out with a salute to the late, great John Witherspoon comedian. He said this at the end of Friday and it always just stuck with me. You win some, you lose some. But you live, you live to fight another day. Alright, well we got Jess with the mess coming up.

Yeah, there's something going on. Hold on, hold on. We'll get to it next, man. A lot on our mind. It's the Breakfast Club good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, Jess Hilarious.

Oh, there go DJ Envy. He just walked in, but it's time for Jess with the Mess. There you go. The news is real, brother. It's that Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. Get your game, talk your face. She don't spare nobody more just don't do no

Why just worldwide message On the breakfast club, she's a coacheship she was able to get y'all to see something and Understand something that nobody could get you to see this time to set it all Alright, so I'm just waiting before we start off is this the messy hour Lauren? It is a little messy, gets a little crazy, gets a little dry. Damn okay well Cameron came in Ocho Cinco. Yes so Cameron let it be known that he does not like Ocho Cinco whatsoever on his show it is what it is.

Now, let's take a listen. No, no, no. First, let's take a listen to Ocho Cinco because Cameron was responding to something that Ocho said back February 6th. He sat down with Stephen A. Smith and talked about getting a, can I say the word with the P? And a penis implant. No, you cannot say that word.

Pussycat, you can say. A penis implant? Yeah. Oh, you can say penis implant. He and a penis enhancement. So let's take a listen to that. Small story. I was in high school at the time and I was losing my virginity. We had engaged in horizontal activity. Go ahead, keep going. And she got to the point where we were in action and she said, in my ear, go deeper. And what hurt me is I was already all the way in. So I had ran out of pee pee. Jesus. And that is what caused me to get into amateur porn so I could perfect my craft in the pelvic area so I would never have to hear that again. I'm here to I'm here to share my stories and my shortcomings back then I've had surgery since then so I'm good And what's your point on Mickey P is bigger?

Needed the ego boost and then he needed the the length boost that I from from what the people is saying what the reports are It's even from I don't this is real. You don't even be trolling It was like the numbers that was going out there. But so Cameron Mase and Stat Baby, they were on it is Treasure Wilson. They were on it is what it is. And Treasure Wilson is she's trying to have a conversation just about if male enhancement surgery is cool, like can men do that? And they threw it to Kim.

And let's take a listen to his response. He has to keep the ass inside. You telling another grown man about you getting your tool piece little bigger man. I don't really with Chad or Cho Cinco to be totally honest with you. When we started this show that was hating from the very beginning. He comes out of nowhere talking about yeah, I'm gonna get myself back together and I'm taking Cam spot. Why the you got to take my spot?

You told me you've been a football player your whole life now because I'm doing sports. You come take my spot and at that particular time we had only been doing the show about two and a half months, three months, but that's how much of an impact that I had that that felt threatened, you know what I'm saying? Then after that, I tried to give him a job. He like, yo, talk to my agent. I said, I'm talking to you now with I don't do business like that. I talked to my agent

See you so dumb. You can't even speak for yourself stupid mother First I would say cam is the funniest thing in Nebraska like me like cam is a lot I love can you know why I don't have a problem? because a lot of times people Opin opinions be rooted in how they personally feel about somebody. Correct. So if Cam would have just been talking about the penis story,

everybody would be like, damn, why Cam cares so much about that? But when you give the backstory, Cam let you know, I don't really rock with that dude. Forget the penis story, I don't like this dude. So let me get this off. I'm not mad at him for it. Now was Otso single planned though?

Because he always planned. I don't know, but when you, because even when he said it, this is like the Elliot Wilson thing. This is like, is it like is it like that? Or is it because I can't take Ocho serious enough to think he was seriously with Steven. I mean, he said it.

Steven, they said, yo, we said it. Steven, they said, like, you know, the cameras are rolling, right? But then also, too, I don't I don't really know what the issue is, because from what Kim is saying, it wasn't always like this. like he was trying to figure out a way that they could get money together Yeah, so I'm not mad at oh you're telling this truth though. That's his truth. That's how he felt But also when we started the breakfast club There was a lot of people that took shots at us as well, and I always remember that and I'm sure you do as well Charlamagne no, I don't. I do.

I'll tell you a list of them. I don't even care. We up. We up. They been up for a long time. I care what they're doing. But I always remember them shots and Cam always remember them shots so yeah. Well I don't know.

It's just kind of hard. Jess you petty-ing me so stop it. I am damn sure petty but I'm just talking about like. I feel like you got a list and you hit them in Jess with the mess every so often. Yeah who? The people that threw shots at you. Absolutely yeah and it's gonna keep happening like that. See?

I forgot what else I was ready to say. What did I say? I was ready to say. I was ready to say. I was ready to say. I was ready to say. I was ready to say. You hit them in just with the mess every so often. Yeah, the people that threw shots at you. Absolutely Yeah, and it's gonna keep happening like that. See I forgot what I was about to say. But to that point that's why I like what Cam did because something imagine Cam would have just been in there You're a clown cuz you ain't got a bigger penis in the sand. It ain't even about that. Nope. I don't like this dude for this reason This is what it was. This is what I was about to say. Then we can move on to Halle Burr cuz I want to hear about this dryness Look, nah now My thing is he maybe he don't handle business like that. Like that's just what it is. I said

I ain't dumb. He probably just don't want to be dumb and do business directly and then you got a whole agent for that That's so I mean, that's just what that is I think that's one of them things like take it or leave it like if you felt that way cool We at where we at now. I just do business different, you know, yeah I do so it is what it is. Halle Berry dry. No we got one more minute. That's right we doing that one. So Halle Berry has diagnosed herself diagnosed herself with dry vagina syndrome. Oh my god I reported remember she said she thought she had no her doctor told her that she had herpes. Yeah yeah. And then she was wrongfully oh my god. Yes. So it goes into that conversation. She brought that back up again, but she's talking about going into

menopause and as of this as of March, she may be going into menopause. How things start to change. Let's take a listen. When I was 54 years old, I had just met man. I you know, I manifested this man and we were having the best time and then one morning I tried to go to the bathroom and I couldn't go. It was so painful It took me almost 10 minutes to just empty my bladder because it was so painful

So I go right to the doctor. He said it's a really bad case of herpes And now then he drove me there because this was so swollen I couldn't even put my legs together to drive So we spend the next 72 hours kind of doing the blame game, trying to figure out who gave it to me, who gave it to him. And then a couple hours after that, my doctor called me and said that you do not have her. Oh my God. That's not funny. Okay, then what is it? He said, I don't know. And that sent me on my own researching. And

that's when I came up with dry vagina syndrome that women have when they're in perimenopause. She came up with that. I need to, we need to hear from more women at some point this week because is that really a thing at 350? You see y'all young, so y'all don't know nothing about that. This is absolutely a thing. I ain't gonna lie, that's the first time I've heard that.

That she was so swollen she couldn't close her legs. I never heard of nobody not being able to pee for 10 minutes. You know what I mean? I'm talking about the vaginal dryness that comes with menopause. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But all those things that she was describing, I had never heard of that.

So I would have thought, you know, Van or whoever. You know, her man, my man gave me something too, honestly. And then a doctor said, no, I falsely alarm. So y'all over there admitted y'all both cheated for no reason. Can't you sue the doctor, though? That's a misdiagnosis. You got me and my man about to kill each other. I absolutely think you should be

Imagine you got gonorrhea you thinking who gave it to you like I don't got gonorrhea you got gonorrhea you got gonorrhea To go from being able to super soak to being just dried up still crackers That's that's what you got to look up to her. No. Yes. That's a wet Y'all ain't catch Lauren Fishing just now. She threw some bait out there just now. I saw what you did there, man. What'd you do? Don't worry about it.

I saw what you did there. I don't know what I did. I saw what you did there, ma'am. Well, that is just with the mess. Okay, I saw what you did there. Thank you, Lauren. Okay. All right.

I didn't do anything. I saw what you did there. Oh, okay. Oh, you mean I tooted my own horn? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, period. What, my own whistle? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, period. No. Wet my own whistle. And it was crickets.

All right. All right. That's because you don't want to start. All right. The mix is up next is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up.

You're locked into The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month, who we repping today. Listen you know every day during Black History Month my guy B.Dot puts out an episode of I didn't know maybe you didn't either on the Black Effect I Heart Radio podcast network and today he highlights the incredible story of major charity Adams in the six triple eight. Let's discuss Let's talk about major charity Adams born in 1918 in Cotrill, North Carolina That's right. She's a Carolinian and she was raised in Columbia, South Carolina

Her dad was a minister. Her mom was a teacher and together they basically raised a human LinkedIn profile. I mean she was valedictorian, math degree from Wilberforce University, teaching career and then because clearly she didn't have enough on her plate, she joined the women's army auxiliary corps during World War II and then she just casually became the first black woman commissioned as an officer. Now fast forward to 1944. The Army gives her a mission, lead the 6888,

the only all black, all female battalion deployed overseas. Their job, sort 17 million pieces of backlogged mail for soldiers stationed all across Europe Now these women were dealing with warehouses full of letters stacked Florida ceiling I'm talking about rotten packages a smell You could probably never forget probably smell worse than circus dirt and did I mention racism and sexism? Cuz of course it was the 1940s. They weren't just fighting the mail. They were fighting people who didn't think they deserved to be there in the first place. But Charity Adams wasn't having it. She was like, look, we're going to sort this mail

and we're going to do it better than anyone expects. They set up three shifts working around the clock sorting 65,000 pieces of mail a day. Meanwhile, I'm over here struggling to archive a thousand posts on my Instagram. And here's the kicker. They were given six months to sort through 17 million pieces of mail. They did it in three, three months. They basically invented efficiency. Their motto was no mail, low morale, cause they knew the stakes. These letters were more than just paper, they were lifelines. Soldiers got letters from their moms, girlfriends, maybe a side chick or two, hell I ain't judging, weren't stressful. But in all seriousness, what they did was absolutely incredible. And here's why it matters

today. Major Adams and the 6888 proved that black women could take on impossible tasks and knock them out the park even when the world doubted them that story is about resilience excellence and not letting anybody tell you what you're capable of so the next time you're drowning in emails or a co-worker sends you one of those per my last email passive aggressiveive aggressive messages, just channel your inner 6888. Think hell, if they could sort 17 million letters,

I can damn sure handle Karen from Accountant. And as a matter of fact, Tyler Perry did a movie about the 6888. Kerry Washington was the lead. You can find it on Netflix. Shouts to the 6888, a group that I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know.
