How you feeling out there? I am blessed, black, and highly favored, man. Salute to all our beautiful listeners who tune in to us every morning, man. Another day to serve, y'all. I tell you what.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I don't know how it is in the rest of the country. Here in New York, New Jersey. Yeah. It done got cold again. Yeah, it's cold again. Like the flowers had popped up in my yard. I don't know what you call them. country here in uh new york new jersey yeah it done got cold again yeah it's cold again like the flowers had popped up in my yard you know i don't know what you call them i don't know if those are tulips or dandelions a little yellow ones they just had popped up they started sprouting
Starting point is 00:04:32 i remember we pulled in the driveway one day my wife was like oh the flowers are blooming yeah because we thought it was spring boy oh boy nope now they die that goddamn ground dog what's that thing called groundhog groundhog is a goddamn liar yeah Yeah. Okay? That groundhog is a liar. You hear me? It's cold. It's cold. It's going to get cold, too. Did he tell us we was getting more winter?
Starting point is 00:04:49 No, he didn't. Or did she tell us? No, he said, or he or she said that spring was on its way. That's what we get for leaving our weather predictions up to groundhogs. That's right. Okay. Well, I thought it was spring, so, you know, I'm heavy into the car show, and usually it's car show season where you start getting the cars ready, start traveling around the country.
Starting point is 00:05:06 But like you said, it is cold out there. So we're going to get it together. And I want to salute to Eastchester Jeep out there and also Lincoln Tech, which is a trade school. A lot of times I do these car shows and people can't get to them because they can't afford it some of the time. So we did it where we're going to be doing local car shows and giving away food, burgers, hot dogs, and things like that, making it a community event. So we're going to do one in the Bronx in East Chester Jeep. We're going to do it all through Lincoln Tech, one in Philly, one in Queens.
Starting point is 00:05:33 We're going to, I think, one in Dallas, one in Atlanta, where it's like localized car shows because a lot of times people can't make it. So it's kind of giving back to the community. We're going to do giveaways and barbecues and these things. So I want to shout out to Lamar and Eastchester Jeeps. Shout out to, of course, Tina and Lincoln Tech. And I just wanted to do those because a lot of times people can't make it to the big car shows. So that way it gets people to still see, bring the family out, see the cars and get some free food and just relax and enjoy.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Hopefully when it gets a little warmer. Beautiful. And also a lot of people sick, man. Like my whole house is coughing. Yeah. What? Like I don't know what it is.

Starting point is 00:07:11 You already know. A lot to talk about today. All right. Well, we'll be back with front page news. I'm sure we're going to be discussing that bridge that collapsed in Baltimore. Yes. That's crazy. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I was watching it on the news this morning, too. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tess.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Good morning, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. Good morning. Let's jump right into it. Let's talk about this Baltimore Bridge that collapsed. Yeah, so I'm going to give you guys as much information as we have. Now, this happened at 1.30 in in the morning so the story is still developing i want to remind the folks on youtube as they watch us throughout the day that this is the update as of 6 a.m so be prepared for more updates possibly a press conference but what we know as of now they're calling it a possible mass casualty incident after a ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Again, that happened at 1.30 this morning, caused the bridge to collapse. They say as many as 7 to 20 people. Some people are saying 7. Some people are saying 20. They were on the bridge at the time. Obviously, the water is cold. They're saying it's about 30 degrees, that water that folks are possibly in. Now, they're trying to figure out if they're able to rescue these folks.
Starting point is 00:08:26 It's still dark outside, so they're waiting on the sun to come up. So we haven't got any updates on if anybody's been able to get pulled out of the water. They do know several vehicles were on the bridge, including a large tractor trailer. They also said that they believe some workers were also on the bridge as well. So typically, this bridge is a pretty busy bridge. So thankfully it wasn't in the middle of the day, you know, where hundreds and hundreds of cars were there as well. But still definitely thoughts and prayers to these folks.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And hopefully we'll get some answers here shortly. Yeah, they said a ship crashed into it, right? Yeah, they said that ship sank. But I mean, they should have protocol for things like that, right? When it's a certain height. I know it was a container ship and it was passing through. But usually they have protocols with those type of ships. If that does to happen or a ship passes a certain area, they stop that ship immediately.
Starting point is 00:09:15 So I'm pretty surprised that ship was able to hit that bridge still, you know? Yeah. Anybody? All your people good, Jess? You ain't heard of them, right? Yeah, no, definitely. I was watching the news and then me and my mother was talking about it they built that in 77 though and it was a guy he was actually on there he was saying like i actually was here when he built it and i was
Starting point is 00:09:33 just on that bridge 10 hours ago wow and you know he transported people to work on that bridge every day he still drives but yeah now what that bridge connects what and what do you know nope i actually do not know. Okay. I wasn't sure if it was one of the major bridges, like how we have the Arizona, George Washington connected. It is 1.6 miles long, though. But you know, when you hear stories like this, the first thing you think, because remember
Starting point is 00:09:58 a couple of weeks ago, I'm not going to say no names, but somebody in our group chat sent us a very famous bridge here in new york and i'm looking they kept the caption was the bridge is falling apart you can see it i kept looking i was i looked at that video six seven times i couldn't see nothing no it was breaking from the bottom like how we know it just wasn't debris falling okay because they were doing construction yeah i'm not sure i ain't seen no construction being done but i'm just saying it looked like it was like cracking from the bottom it was like breaking so when i when i saw that video and then i hear this story this morning i'm like it's crazy what's the reason i just don't want to
Starting point is 00:10:31 think that bridges are collapsing when i hear that the ship crashed i'm like okay that makes sense it makes sense you know i mean ain't just like the bridge is just falling right yeah well yeah well and i also want to let you know to answer your question uh mb you wanted to know what it connects to it says it serves the outermost crossing of the baltimore harbor and it is essentially link of the interstate 695 or the baltimore beltway yeah so there's gonna be a lot of traffic there's gonna be a lot of detouring people ain't gonna be able to get to work people ain't gonna be able to travel if they're going up and down i guess from new york down there or you know how they travel that route route to go to the south. That might be difficult.
Starting point is 00:11:06 But let's jump into Trump. Yeah. So let's talk about that. So Trump update, as per usual, trying to keep up with all these cases. Now, Donald Trump, yesterday, they decided to reduce the appeals court, reduced his bond from four hundred and sixty four million to one hundred and seventy five million. Take a listen. An appeals court reducing the bond in his civil fraud case by more than half to 175 million dollars the trial judge had said it at more than 450 million what they do is they do election interference which is court cases and let's try and tie him up and
Starting point is 00:11:39 let's take as much of his money as possible i respect the appellate division for substantially reducing that ridiculous amount of money. With no lenders willing to cover the staggering penalty while he appeals, Mr. Trump was facing the prospect of New York's attorney general seizing his iconic properties and bank accounts as soon as today, but now has 10 days to come up with a far smaller bond. Mr. Trump saying he has the the cash are you going to start putting money in your campaign well first of all it's none of your business i mean frankly let me tell you something man donald trump is above the law until someone shows me otherwise
Starting point is 00:12:18 donald trump is above the law trump has unlocked levels of privilege that I have never seen. Like this surpasses being white. It surpasses being rich, surpasses being president. Is it because it's a combination of all three? Are people scared of the wrath of him because they are anticipating him being the next president? The law does not apply to Donald Trump the way it applies to anybody else. But I see, but anybody else,
Starting point is 00:12:43 I told you that yesterday that they weren't going to take his properties and they were going to reduce it. But also, Trump is doing this with billion billionaires that also do real estate, right? I am almost 100% positive that there's a lot of them that probably did the same exact thing. That's probably
Starting point is 00:13:00 what they did. The fact that they're shooting at Trump is for different reasons. But I'm sure there's a bunch of people out there that's gonna make sure that they help trump because they're not gonna want to see the same thing happen today well attorney uh latisha james said that the 464 civil judgment still stands so this is just you know about the bond you have to pay that has not been reduced uh so they'll have to look and see you know what that looks like when it goes to appeals court so this is so again the reduction is about the bond that needed to get paid, not the civil judgment. So he still owes a four hundred sixty four million. We don't have time to get into it.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I'll get into it in the next because there's more update with his criminal case that will start on April 15th. And so I'll just get into that with the second hour. And they extended his deadline for another 10 days. He won't get that money. He's going to get that money. He's already to get that money. He already said he'll pay. He said he got it. He said he got it. Ain't no problem. He said he got $500 in cash, right? Yep, that's right. I think he gave the middle finger, I mean the thumbs up on his way out.
Starting point is 00:13:51 He was like, I got it. I'm going to pay in 10 days. Lord have mercy. And that is Front Page News. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

But, uh, yeah, but I had an idea for this, uh, all the beef and everything going on between the comedians and stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I feel like this should be like a, uh, kind of like a versus, but not really, you know what I mean? Anybody that feels that they need to show their worth and whatnot and that they're really the baddest comedians they enter this competition and instead of going by votes they just have like a last meter, you know what I mean? Like how loud and how often the crowd reacts, you know to the jokes and whatnot and then whoever
Starting point is 00:16:38 gets the most, you know they win or whatever, they can set it to hot dogs. See, that's the thing though they not really even joking, they going't winning or whatever. They can set it to hot dogs. See, that's the thing though. They not really even joking. They going at each other like, this is the streets. You know what I'm saying? So,
Starting point is 00:16:50 I mean, I wish it could be like that too, brother. I really wish it could, but these people are far past jokes. They got beefs with each other. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And by the way, this ain't about jokes anymore. This is personal. Yeah, and it's a good idea, but all that's going to do is make the person even madder. If I go up there
Starting point is 00:17:03 and I get more laughs than you, now I'm going to really have more ammo and be more more venomous towards you because this is really about who's funnier from the jump anyway but they just started insulting each other it's about who's funnier and who stole what and who didn't help the other so and they and none of them think they funny none of them think the other is funny yeah I other one, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know. Crazy. And it's going to show when you get mad. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:20:24 The Breakfast Club. things surrounding the diddler okay we'll get into all that next so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious shalameen the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to jess on the breakfast club She don't spare nobody. Worldwide jest, worldwide mess. On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
Starting point is 00:20:57 It's time to set it on. So federal agents raided Diddy's homes in L.A. and in Miami yesterday afternoon. And we have the news report. Search warrant activities at both of Combs' homes are related to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. However, now agents with Homeland Security raided two homes belonging to Combs, one here in Miami Beach, the other in Los Angeles. And late tonight, we saw agents walking out of this house carrying a cardboard box as well as several bags from the second story of the property out here. Now, agents in Los Angeles could be seen walking around Combs' house there and could be seen taking notes on a table there. And a neighbor tells me that about 30 to 40 law enforcement officers showed up to the house out here and carried out this search warrant. You know what's crazy? That I have here that Diddy was not named as the focus of the investigation at this time.
Starting point is 00:21:56 So why was he doing all that? That's what I don't understand. It's a lot going on. It's like for a show. That's what I said last night. I was thinking to myself, what do they know about this situation? Because if he's in the focus of the investigation,
Starting point is 00:22:06 well, he wasn't the focus of the investigation of Homeland Security, but he definitely was the focus of the investigation of social media. Yeah, he was. It was a show.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I mean, the way that they came air, land, and sea, they act like he was with the mob and they were going to have a gun battle and a gun shootout. But why, though? We've never seen anything
Starting point is 00:22:22 like that for a ledge, whatever it was, but they act like they were going for the mob but i mean clearly they know something if they did all of that so i'm just saying what is the why is what i want to know yeah i mean they placed both of his uh sons justin combs and king combs and handcuffs um all of that but uh tmd also tracked diddy's personal jet love air llc and is currently on the ground Antigua which is in the Caribbean which sparked rumors that Diddy was fleeing or whatever but then TMZ uh posted like two hours after his homes were um raided that he was just walking around on the
Starting point is 00:22:54 phone you know I mean in my I don't know if that was Miami or LA but they had somebody yeah Miami they saw him on the ground um so uh not on the ground like on the ground like laid out on the ground just walking around no no no he was walking I'm sorry yeah he was walking he wasn't in the air
Starting point is 00:23:09 on the jet did they have warrants for Diddy they have warrants for nobody right to arrest anybody no because they would have
Starting point is 00:23:15 been arrested I guess they had just a warrant I guess to look what they were to investigate yeah investigate what they were looking for
Starting point is 00:23:21 yeah they pulled stuff out but nobody knows what it is they said his jet been up and down California between Sunday and Monday. Around 9 a.m. Pacific time, Monday, the jet took off from Van Nuys Airport and landed. Is your country falling apart?

Starting point is 00:29:09 somebody said, where Carisha at? Like, thousands of people reposted it, and she said, right here, what's up?
Starting point is 00:29:15 But I'm just like, Carisha, you don't have to say nothing. Like, you don't. You really, really don't. No,
Starting point is 00:29:20 like, it's, don't say nothing, because these, F these people. You know what I mean? Can I say that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Okay, yeah. And you said they were chasing Diddy's jet. A lot of people that actually own jets, when they're not using it, they charter it out. That's how the jet pays for itself. Yeah. So it's like if Diddy's not using the jet, they charter it out to different people, employees or whoever it may be, and they pay for the jet. That's what a lot of people do.
Starting point is 00:29:42 So that's probably why the jet was moving like it was. It feels like we're watching a TV show. Yeah, absolutely. Like in the TV show just starting to get good. Just continuing, yeah. And we about to figure out
Starting point is 00:29:50 what the hell's been going on. We at the peak of power. Yeah. Right now. Crazy. Yep. So that is that. More updates will be
Starting point is 00:29:57 available soon. Russell Simmons also reported served in Bali. They went to Bali and served him. Drew Dixon is one of the women accusing Russell Simmons of sexual assault. She claims he raped her back in 95. Russell Simmons denied those claims and said she was a liar.
Starting point is 00:30:16 He also insinuated that the people accusing him of sexual assault were looking for fame and a payday. Because of those comments, Drew Dixon is now suing russell simmons for defamation of her character she claims uh these comments negatively impacted her professional and personal life in a massive way i didn't know they could serve you out the country yeah i thought that was the whole person the whole purpose of leaving the country yep yeah and i think that was at what i read right i think that was at his resort at russell simmons own resort and they had to go through security and had to pay to stay there and all that so they were really trying to serve Russell really um so Drew Dixon she is a former music executive yes okay didn't I know that I think
Starting point is 00:30:55 she's I think she's been on The Breakfast Club before oh yeah well man this is crazy do we have the audio from yeah uh This is the crazy thing. Before we play this audio, I just want to... I know everybody made of this girl, but Candace Owens has said this like a long time ago. Well, actually not a long time ago,
Starting point is 00:31:13 but a minute ago about this whole takedown of the rap or hip-hop nation or whatever. She said it. What do you mean, what's up? You guys have definitely covered it, right? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:31:25 It's crazy. Absolutely do you mean, what's up? You guys have definitely covered it, right? Absolutely. It's crazy. Absolutely. You know, it suggests that he was the Jeffrey Epstein of Hollywood. That there's a blackmail ring. That people are being given drugs. They're doing things
Starting point is 00:31:34 while they're drugged. And then most people are controlled, right? Because if you're a rapper and your brand is hardcore and I have a video of you kissing a guy and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:31:44 I'll release it unless you say or do or take this position that's a blackmail ring right so the diddy lawsuit kind of led me to ask some larger questions about okay because i have been feeling like in my heart that something weird's going on with black media you know i'm like what what is this trash? Absolutely. She said this and then, see, now look. Like how the kids be, say, I see, I told you. Yeah, see. You ain't going to be able to tell Candace Owens fans nothing about Candace Owens now. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Lord have mercy. She said that on Breakfast Club last week. She been saying that on her show for the past month. Yeah, said it on her show. Now this is happening. Lord have mercy. Lord, Lord, Lord. There's something going on
Starting point is 00:32:27 with Eric, with like everybody though. Like a lot going on. I don't, I don't, yeah, and we don't know nothing. Nope. That's the reality of the situation.
Starting point is 00:32:35 We really don't know. Yeah, you said that yesterday when I reported the Kate Middleton story. It's like, you don't know what to believe. No. You don't know what,
Starting point is 00:32:41 at all. But it's crazy. But regardless of anything, if these women were affected if they were sexually assaulted you want to see you know justice for justice for those people absolutely hands down and i don't want to say drew dixon was on i thought she was on i'm not 100 sure i don't want to say that on what on breakfast what's your i can't remember i don't i don't remember all right well she went to pay when i was here no no it'd been like 12 13 years
Starting point is 00:33:03 ago but yeah jesus but like yeah you said, anybody affected or sexually assaulted. Yeah. You want to see. But you know what muddies the waters. None of this would be so confusing if social media would just let things play out. That's not the way social media works. Because, you know, you'll have so many stories and they'll just be wrong. For example, the whole thing about Diddy fleeing the country.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Correct. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because you hear this, right? Diddy's house got raided. Then now Diddy's fleeing the country. yeah you know i'm saying because you you hear this right did his house got raided then now did he flee in the country you're like oh shoot what do you do he did something there yeah you know but then you really come to find out none of that was true so then you're like well what happened yeah but also if it wasn't for social media do you think a lot of these people would be charged do you think the pressure would be on for the government to file charges or would they just that can work that can work
Starting point is 00:33:43 because you know nowadays you got people that'll direct folks to law enforcement you know i mean and and towards innocent people right like have a bunch of people just flutter just call for no reason exactly i think it's jokes and funny absolutely but i definitely feel like the internet is a gift and a curse though you know so you can't have good without evil you know what i mean i don't know about that either. I've been wondering about that my whole life. What's that? With things like the internet?
Starting point is 00:34:08 No, I'm just talking about in general. Do you have to have evil with good? Do they have to go hand in hand? Some type of way. I guess, right? Yeah. Yeah. Because everybody's not good.
Starting point is 00:34:21 You know, people want to see people down for it. Everybody's not evil either. You have evil things. people do bad things i don't make them bad people you know you got good people do you got bad people that do good things sometimes like it goes saying i think what we're all trying to say here is we don't know no but we are watching that's right what i know is i'm a good person but i do bad things sometimes so that's a good way to describe it that's a good way to describe it. That's a good way to describe it.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Bad is subjective, though. Yeah, but I don't want to be a bad person trying to do good stuff. Why? That's probably what it, more than likely, that's what it is. We're all bad people
Starting point is 00:34:56 born into sin and we're trying to be good. Don't say we. Because I don't, I'm not going to be that bad. I'm just saying, no, but we're born into sin anyway. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:06 No, we're going to have to pass Oh my god we did We was I forgot about that I forgot about that I was gone I forgot I hate Jess We spent our whole lives
Starting point is 00:35:18 Attempting to be good Oh my god That is Jess With the World Wide Mess Alright When we come back We got front page news. Sesslin Figaro will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:35:26 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What up, Tiz? What's going on, DJ Envy? Charlamagne Tha God. Just hilarious. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Now, let's start off with Trump. I know we closed out with Trump last hour. Now, let's start off with Trump. I know we closed out with Trump last hour, so let's start off with Trump this hour. Closed out with Trump, starting out with Trump just to give another update on his first criminal case. Now, he was asking for that to be delayed, but that is going to start the trial on April 15th. Take a listen. Amid news of the bond decision going public, Trump was in a Manhattan courtroom, learning that the criminal trial involving hush money payments to former adult film star Stormy Daniels would begin the middle of next month. Trump's lawyers argued the case should be delayed or dismissed, saying thousands of documents were improperly introduced this month.
Starting point is 00:36:20 That was rejected by Judge Juan Mershon, who said you are literally accusing the Manhattan DA's Office of Prosecutorial Misconduct and trying to make me complicit in it, and you don't have a single case to cite. Trump would be the first former president to ever face a criminal trial. I would have no problem testifying. I didn't do anything wrong. So what are they trying to move this up so they can do it before election? I don't want to make any assumptions, but let's definitely get moved up so folks can look at that and take it as you will. But certainly, obviously, like you just heard, the first time a former president will be having a criminal case, he wants to testify. There was a lot of commentary saying, should he or should he not testify?
Starting point is 00:37:00 Would he make it better or not? And just to remind folks, this is about Stormy Daniels and the $130,000 payment to her. And so Michael Cohen will be testifying. It's going to be a lot, a lot of drama going on with this case for sure. So we'll see what it looks like. All right. Well, let's jump right into DeSantis and this new bill. Yeah. So a new bill, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is banning social media for kids under 14 without parent permission. A lot of folks may agree with this. Take a listen. The bill signed into law by the governor bans social media accounts for children under age 14. It also requires parental permission for 15 and 16 year olds to have social media. The governor said the
Starting point is 00:37:41 new law asserts parental rights and is in the best interest of children. The way this bill is structured, it is not engaging in any regulation of speech. It is basically identifying functionality, you know, that is causing harms, the addictive features. And so that's laid out in the bill. We worked hard with the legislature because at the end of the day, you know we're not just here spinning our wheels we're not just trying to get a photo we want something that actually sticks and actually has a positive impact florida's house speaker goes a step further calling the new law a matter of public safety for children i love it i do too i don't have a problem with that at all and if parents want their kids to have social media they can still do it but
Starting point is 00:38:24 they just that way your parents know or the parents know that the kid is opening the account. I don't have a problem with it. Yeah, I don't think people understand what social media is doing to folks brains. And it's not just kids. It's adults. You know what I mean? It's right. It's ruining people's comprehension skills.
Starting point is 00:38:37 It's making people's emotional IQs low. Folks care about their relationship with social media more than they do with real people. It depresses people. Absolutely. Pushes to society right and so many other things let me give you a little bit more about this bill it is called hb3 uh and it directs social media companies to delete the existing accounts of those who are under 14 so it's not even just the new accounts at the start but they're going to go back in time and delete those now companies that fail to do so can be sued on behalf of the child who creates an account on the platform the minor child could be awarded up to 10 000 in damages according to the
Starting point is 00:39:10 bill companies found companies that will that are found in violation of this law can also be held liable 50 000 per violation so there's some consequences with um you know folks the companies that are not complying with this i'm not mad with this and it's the craziest thing if you really think about it right if you are if you have a child a child can't open up a bank account until 18 yeah but you can open up social media at 14 so you can't start putting your savings in a bank until you 18 but you can open up a social media account at any age that's crazy yeah man what do you guys think about though like if the kid just because when you open up an account you can just put in any date do you think that like that that's crazy yeah man what do you guys think about though like if the kid just because when you open up an account you can just put in any date do you think that like that that's really stopping the children i can't wait till they put some real rules and regulations on social media
Starting point is 00:39:52 so these so these kids can't get on it at all but i'm just concerned about the adults because people wake up every day trying to prove something the strangest they don't know you're right in a bunch of bots it's it's lame like right you i don't know man a bunch of bots. It's lame. I don't know, man. I'll be happy when they unplug all this stuff. And then you can see who needs therapy and who doesn't. You can absolutely see who needs therapy and who doesn't. All your insecurities are on full display on social
Starting point is 00:40:18 media. And you be sitting back looking like, that person needs to go do some internal work on themselves. It don't got nothing to do with no external circumstances around them. That person needs to go do some work. That's. That's right. It don't got nothing to do with no external circumstances around them. That person needs to go do some work. That's right. All right. Well, thank you, Tiz.

You've seen her on Night Court. You've seen her on The Upshaw. She has a one-woman show called The Book of Marsha, Ms. Marsha Warfield is here.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Good morning. Good morning, how are you? I'm blessed black and highly favored. All right. How are you? I'm doing all right. Now, you've been working in the business since the 70s and you're celebrating your 70th birthday this month?
Starting point is 00:41:37 Yes. Wow. Do you feel like a legend? No, I feel like Marsha. I just, you know, I do take every day as it comes do the best i can and hopefully be able to rest at night comfortably so uh things are going well right now and i'm very grateful for that and very uh happy with the way it's going in the second half of my career but no i legend is something i think they just say because I'm old.
Starting point is 00:42:07 You got to have a resume to back it up, though. I don't know. You know, if you hang around sooner or later, somebody will say you're a legend. But I appreciate it. You know, it's nice
Starting point is 00:42:17 to be thought of, well thought of by people. You just let them say that. Who know better. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's not often that someone like you has longevity in this business
Starting point is 00:42:28 and you still manage to stay booked and busy. You want three TV shows right now. Like, what keeps you going? Well, it's not just, you know, most people don't get a chance to have one successful career. I had one, took off for 20
Starting point is 00:42:44 years and came back and have done it again so most proud of that of the fact that i could start all over again from scratch and then make it work into my 70th year when they called you about the the night court reboot did was that something you wanted to do did you jump at the chance to play Roz again? Or you just was like, eh, I don't know. No, I don't take gigs that I'm like, eh, I don't know. That's right.
Starting point is 00:43:12 You know, unless there's a whole lot of money involved. I'm not putting myself through that. I like Night Court. Night Court was good for me. It was good to me. Hopefully, I was good to Night Court. And so when they they uh called me i it wasn't like i expected it because they they're going in a whole new direction they're
Starting point is 00:43:30 doing a whole different show and i'm cool with that that's fine i wish you well i hope it it does for you uh what it did for me i told uh lacrita that as soon as i met her i said you know this is your gig now this is my time has passed as far as this is concerned, so you take this ball and run with it. I hope it does for you what it did for me. So when they called me, I was like, well, cool, you know. I'm happy to do it. And it just seemed to snowball from there.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah. I'm sure you know and see how how times have changed these days how did you feel when you found out that ross would be getting married to a woman in the season finale oh i thought it was great and i love the fact that it's not the point of the show right the point of the show is that she's getting married the fact that she's getting married to a woman is never mentioned brought up nothing it's not a bone of contention at all. And that's a long way from where we started, you know, from where when I came out to my mother, and I wasn't even coming out publicly, I was coming out to her.
Starting point is 00:44:37 And she said, well, you know, I understand, but just, you know, don't come out as long as I'm alive i'm like okay that's a small thing to ask in the bigger problem that it was growing up and everything so i was like cool and but now we can have this character and not just representing being a lesbian but being a lesbian of age of color uh marrying another woman so that people know there's hope you know there's hope for people uh you don't just stop living uh because you get another birthday yeah and there's uh you don't have to stop looking for love you don't have to stop having sex you don't have to stop doing anything just because you're old so i like the way they handled
Starting point is 00:45:25 it when your mother tells you something like that how do you not feel suppressed though you're like you're suppressing a huge part of yourself i've been suppressing a huge part of myself my whole life yeah i mean from birth and and when the society says this is negative this is bad you know people try to insulate their children and help them because for them they see it as one a failure they're parenting and two it's like the world is gonna beat you up so let's guide you along this way so my whole life they've been trying they had been trying to shift me you know over to the right side it's like the way they do left-handed kids you know back in the day they would tie your hands behind your back they would force you to use
Starting point is 00:46:11 your right hand because left-handed is is sinful sinister it means left-handed in french it was a bad thing and so they would let kids write with their left hand. So you had a lot of converted right handers whose minds, you know, when you're left handed, your mind thinks left handed. You know, they open books backwards. They see things totally different. But then they had this corrective thing. Because I'm left handed and I've opened the book the right way. No, but I've seen left-handed people open it the other way and go from the back.
Starting point is 00:46:50 It's not that they're reading from the back. It's just that's how they see it. They try to shift your whole mind and same thing when they see your kids. You know your kid is gay from birth. The boy cries whenever you put him in the blue something. Look look I love
Starting point is 00:47:06 the pink and they're like no you can't wear pink because you're a little boy and he's like but I don't care and so they start shifting you away from who you are so when you come out and you're expecting the worst you're expecting your parent to be offended and and defensive and some kids get put out of their houses some kids at 15 16 their parents can't handle it well all my mother asked was don't put it out in public in the whole world scheme that was a small thing in my mind it was like well at least she's not disowning me. At least she's not condemning me. If they tied your hand behind your back for being left-handed, I don't want to know what they did to get people
Starting point is 00:47:50 back in. They just tell you you're different. You're different. You was on TV when being on TV meant something. When it was like a real celebrity and being really famous. So how did playing rods

Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Push the boundaries so far away from where they were when I was a kid. There were no black people on the other. There were no shows like this. There was none of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:27 All of this stuff was new, and it took advantage of all of the opportunities that they made happen. And we just kept on going until now you have representation. You have the idea that you can watch TV 24 hours a day and only see black people. It's mind-boggling. somebody who grew up with Ozzie and Harriet and that kind of thing and leave it to beaver.
Starting point is 00:54:51 So I happen to be just come about in that time period where things were coming up and I got lucky and ended up on night court. The rest is history. All right. We have more with Marshallha warfield when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with marsha warfield jess i love how like you get excited when you talk about like back then and stand up and all of that is that still your first love i love stand upup that's my i don't see myself as an actress
Starting point is 00:55:26 actor i i was reluctantly dragged into acting because i wanted to say my piece i wanted to be a stand-up i wanted to compete with the big boys i wanted to do stand-up and learning how to do how to act and all that kind of stuff. I learned all of that on the job. I took a class once and they told me to get a book and said, you know, read the book. And I opened it up and they said on the first page, the key to acting is to keep it simple. So I closed the book and I never went back to the class. And so I was lucky enough to be on the show at a time it was like the number four show in tv uh you had actors John Larroquette getting nominated every time he opened his mouth
Starting point is 00:56:13 he had nominated for an Emmy so often he took his name out of contention and there were Marky and and these actors and I I told Harry when I first got there, I'm like, I'm not an actor. I don't know how to do this. He said, I'm not either. I'm a magician. He said, well, just watch them do what they do. And so they made it easy for me, and I learned on the job. This is a question for you and Jess.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Elira, she does stand-up as well. Is the stage your safe space? No, it's not. It's not safe on stage you're out there by yourself but the thing i think everybody has to keep in mind when you do stand up is you're doing you it's all about you yeah and the closer you are to who you really are the better we come from a tradition where for years black people weren't allowed to be themselves. Especially when there were no very few black men with Moms Mabley and that was it.
Starting point is 00:57:12 But black men weren't allowed to have facial hair. They weren't allowed to wear suits. They had to be characters and and play basically minstrels. And so in the 50s and 60s, and people like Dick Gregory and Timmy Rogers and said, now we're going to do it different. And we're going to be people and speak our minds. This was not allowed. You weren't allowed to trick white people intellectually. And so to be yourself and to be close to who you are, weren't allowed to trick white people intellectually.
Starting point is 00:57:48 And so to be yourself and to be close to who you are, you can't fail at being you. And so if you'd be the best you you can be, you're always going to succeed. I like that. So you can't trick white people. You can't trick white people intellectually. That was against the law. And in the South, that was dangerous.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Dick Gregory said after a show the group of white men came in he was he ordered a whole chicken and these white men came up behind him and said whatever you do to that chicken we're going to do to you so he ate the chicken's ass now he picked the chicken up and kissed it. So that was the climate, you know, and again, he won by tricking the people for tricking them. Yeah. It's amazing that, you know, we act like when it comes to entertainment, I'm going to ask you about like roles that they've asked you to play have they ever asked you to play a role that might have been pushing some sort of propaganda oh all the time yeah holly i refused i came about
Starting point is 00:58:54 in the blaxploitation before blaxploitation i don't think there had been any roles for black women where they didn't play a maid or a whore and most often a maid uh even some of the classics that everybody loves imitation of life you know yeah the maid and i said i will never play a maid or a whore never ever and so when roles came up and and the maid is she has a heart of gold and she winds up and she ends up being and she's a corpse. She comes to, but she's a maid. I said, if she's a maid, I'm not playing her. So I turned down a lot of roles. And I think we have to start encouraging people.
Starting point is 00:59:34 We have to lose the go along to get along mindset, you know, and get back to the kick ass mindset that, you know, you draw your own line in the sand and you you have the right to say no you know and and we don't always feel that we have that kind of agency to say man I ain't doing it even if they make you feel bad for it you know like because they will agents and you know it's even like happened to me like I will say no like I was offered like three or four roles to play a crackhead you know and but these would have been my first roles. And I didn't want to do that. And I remember meeting, oh, my God, the guy that played Eddie Cain. He was on the set of Row. I did a sitcom, which was my first big role. I met him on set and he told me, if you let them, they will keep casting you for roles that they want to see you portray.
Starting point is 01:00:24 You know, not for, you know not for you know and i just i never i grew up in baltimore city that's all i seen growing up i didn't want to play that role i'm not saying never but that's not they kept my agents kept bringing that to me my manager kept bringing that to me and i remember him saying my manager he was like this is you the scene opens you're pissing behind a dumpster. Oh, man. Yep. After you snorted. Right. And I'm like, I could just see you playing this.
Starting point is 01:00:50 You don't know how insulting that was. I fired him. But that was that was very. I just couldn't believe it. I see. When I first read this, I thought of you. I could see you playing this. I'm like, damn.
Starting point is 01:01:03 You know, we forget they work for us. Yeah. You don't work for your manager. And they take the position that you do work for them and that you have to do what they say. And you have to let them know, no, I'm the boss of me. Like I said, do you. I'm doing me. I'm not doing what you see. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Yeah. So, no, that ain't going to work. Well, tell us about your one woman show, The Book of Marsha. People always told me that I should write a book. And I'm like, I'm not a writer. I'm a stand-up. So if you want to know my story, you have to come see me do stand-up. Ah.
Starting point is 01:01:32 And I can tell you better than I can write it down. And I didn't want to go through the ghostwriter thing and have somebody else write my story. And I approve it. So it's a kind of autobiographical stand-up. I grew up on R&B. I'm a big R&B fan. That's my thing. And so I sing a lot, and I'm not a singer, but I have music in the show.
Starting point is 01:02:00 You know how you have a party? There's always music playing. But at about 10 o'clock or so that auntie comes in and say okay that's enough of that bang bang noise let's put on some music play my record and everybody goes what's a record and she don't don't get smart with me boy and play my record i'm that auntie and this show it's like a theatrical show but it's like a theatrical show, but it's like coming into my kitchen. You know, she always takes her place in the kitchen, that auntie, and starts talking about everybody else's food and stuff. So that's the way the show hopefully feels, like you come into my party at the time where it was down now to the real people and not just the people you have to be
Starting point is 01:02:46 fake with. One last question. Is there anything on your bucket list career like that you for your career that you want to do that you haven't done yet? I'm my one woman show the Book of Marsha. I want to do as a one woman show and have that be a special. Yeah, I'm working to make that happen in the future. And then from there, I'm just grateful for every opportunity. I've been blessed more than I appreciate it. When you're in the struggle and trying to make it, you think nothing's happening. But when you look back on it, it's like, dang, I was doing a lot.
Starting point is 01:03:22 And so I just want to keep on growing you know i don't want to grow old gracefully i want to grow old badassedly and just that's right that's right you know kick the door in and keep on living until can't live no more that's right miss warfield it was a pleasure we could sit here and talk to you for hours thank you for your wisdom thank you for coming it's marsha Warfield.

During a live yesterday, Cardi spoke on an incident with LAPD.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Sue the LAPD. Like, all the helicopters in L.A., they was outside. Y'all was freaking out. Yesterday, Cardi spoke on an incident with LAPD. do I look like I gotta sell some shit like why would I do that like why I would never do no shit like and they didn't believe me like it was like some white cops or something like they didn't know who I was or like like you know what I'm saying like they was really tough on me and everything they said that like somebody gave them a clue I really feel like it was one
Starting point is 01:09:38 of my ops and shit they really trying to ruin my life type shit. Where the hell was Cardi at Diddy house? Oh my gosh I don't know her house in LA basically yeah she said that the cops told really trying to ruin my life type. What the hell was Cardi at? Diddy house? Oh my gosh. I don't know. Her house in LA. Basically. Yeah. She said that the cops told her that they got an anonymous tip.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Exactly. She was selling drugs or whatever. And they made her strip butt naked outside. That was a kinky cop. Listen, didn't we just talk about this last hour? And this is what I was saying in the group chat last night. What?
Starting point is 01:10:00 You have these people who be sending all of these anonymous tips to these law enforcement officials and these law and law enforcement officials be investigating they be showing up because of these anonymous they getting from people online and they were swatted like her house was swatted you see what I'm saying but why they wanted to get naked outside that's a kick and she said you have to even repeating like I'm Cardi Cardi B. You think I, you know. They didn't care. They didn't care.
Starting point is 01:10:26 They still treated her, you know, like they didn't care. When did this happen? This happened a month ago, but she spoke about it yesterday. So, but Cardi's houses were swatted before. One time they showed up to a house in Georgia claiming that they got a call that shots were fired and that she was the victim. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. claiming that they got a call that shots were fired and that she was the victim you see what i'm saying yeah and then police showed up um and they left after they only left after offset uncle who was house sitting for them called offset who confirmed that he was out of town with cardi
Starting point is 01:10:54 so that happened before yeah that's scary too man get your money and get out man i know it's like seriously get your money and get out like it ain't even worth it no more but you can't i mean you're an artist and you're living your life. And then all of a sudden somebody call the police, you and your family, somebody bust out your door. Get your money and get out. Maybe it ain't worth it to be an artist no more. And I would say go to Bali. But look, like, you know, they'll find you there too.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Check into your hotel and go right upstairs. Like, oh, hey, what you doing? What you doing doing? Y'all going to bed. Here, take it to the envelope. But it's different when somebody's accusing you of something as opposed to somebody, people just targeting you for no reason.
Starting point is 01:11:27 I know. People swatting, getting you swatted and calling law enforcement on you saying you're doing things you ain't doing. That's the difference. No, it is.
Starting point is 01:11:34 But I don't know about this case. Simone Gulbadia, I keep calling this man Simone, Simon Gulbadia claims Portia Williams brought a gunman to their house.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Y'all didn't hear me? I did hear you. All right, put the phone down. Look, so, you knowia claims Portia Williams brought a gunman to their house. Y'all didn't hear me? I did hear you. All right, put the phone down. Look, so you know Simon and Portia, they've been having... You don't call Simon.
Starting point is 01:11:51 You don't call Simon. You don't know Simon. You don't call Portia before you call Simon. That's true. Uh-uh. Simon and Portia, you know they've been having
Starting point is 01:11:57 a public messy divorce since Portia filed February 22nd, right? So recently, Simon said that Portia abandoned their house only to return with a man visibly bearing a gun for reasons unknown to Gobertia. He claims that Williams bought the man on two different occasions. He said in one instance, March 21st, he had to call the police to maintain the peace.
Starting point is 01:12:17 And Simon also said since the filing of the instant divorce, wife's actions have been erratic unstable threatening and harassing to the house staff and the minor children look simone keep calling him simone simon is is also saying that march 24th portia her mother and her mother's boyfriend made a forcible entry into their home disengaged the security cameras and tampered with items and evidence of what so like? Is it a crime scene? I'm listening to you. Of what tampered? They cut the cameras off and they tampered with items and
Starting point is 01:12:51 evidence? Of what? I mean, that's only one side. You gotta hear both sides. Right, that's what I'm saying. He's making this really... It sounds good. It sounds really good, like another TV show. We've been hearing about alleged TV shows all morning. Simon is requesting a judge issue
Starting point is 01:13:06 a restraining order against the Bravo Liberty. Push him. Damn. It's real messy. Who the F did I marry? Can he prove any of this? Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:13:17 I don't know. And I think, you know, if any of it is true, it kind of makes you look bad if your ex-wife felt like she had to have protection when she came back to the house. You know what? Portia
Starting point is 01:13:27 need to come out with Who the F Did I Murray? Season 2. So she need to go on TikTok and do 60 episodes? No. Portia is way past TikTok, okay? She can contact Bravo. It could be Bravo's first movie. It should be season one then. Yeah, season one.
Starting point is 01:13:43 But you know, Reese's season, she's going to probably see her. Then there was one after Reese's, right? Yeah, but nobody really paying attention to that lady. So yeah, the official season two, who the F did I marry? I had another story, but y'all talk too much. This is just with the math. We ain't say nothing. Yeah, y'all been talking since I came back in here.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Y'all been talking. Sorry, I'm going to push it to the next nothing. Yeah, y'all been talking since I came back in here. Y'all been talking. But, sorry, I'm going to push it to the, I'm going to push it to. Next hour. Yeah, next hour. All right. And, Charlamagne, who you giving your donkey to? Man, four after the hour, we need a congressman named David Throne to come to the front of the congregation. He is a Democrat from Maryland.
Starting point is 01:14:17 And we need to have a word with him because he's out here using racial slurs in Senate hearings. We'll discuss. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:20:09 What is it? I'm a donkey. Say it again Charlemagne. I'm a donkey. Yes. You are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlemagne is saying is true.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Yes. Donkey of the day for Tuesday, March 26th goes to congressman david throne okay he is a maryland congressman a democrat running for senate and he recently apologized for his use of a racial slur during a budget hearing now let me set this up for you uh during the hearing david throne was discussing corporate tax rates and their impact on business and somehow that led him to use a racial slur would you like to hear it here we go can you do it better than the other competitor and with that can you create a pnl statement that works so this republican jigaboo that you know it's a tax rate that's stopping business investment it's just completely faulty by people who've never
Starting point is 01:21:01 run a business oh my god now i haven't heard this racial slur in a long time okay this is a throwback i don't think i've ever heard this racial slur actually used in real life to be honest with you david throne is 68 years old though born in 1955 nine years before the civil rights act of 1964 was implemented so he had nine years of segregation by nine he was probably fully equipped with all the black slurs coon monkey colored the n-word and jigaboo jesus okay you gotta understand if you grew up when discriminatory practices were still in place and there was segregation in public places you definitely use some of those slurs as a white man in this country okay there's actually a phrase called uh aphasia where you think one word but
Starting point is 01:21:40 say another you ever had that happen to you yes you think one word but you say another. You ever had that happen to you? Yes. You think one word, but you say another. So in this case, David Throne said he intended to use the word bugaboo. I don't understand the context of either in a budget hearing. Okay, I don't know why. Jigaboo, bugaboo, my boo, Akon's brother boo, boo from a ghost,
Starting point is 01:21:57 boo at the Apollo. I don't know why any boo would be used in a budget hearing unless, of course, one of these elected officials is getting booed for using racial slurs. Now, David Throne did apologize uh let's go to the news report to hear what he had to say and developing now maryland congressman david throne has apologized for making a racial
Starting point is 01:22:15 slur he made during a house budget committee hearing in all honesty i'm actually not surprised brandon brooks of prince george's county says County says Maryland Senate candidate David Trone's use of a racist word in Congress Thursday is no big shock. I've observed other situations where derogatory languages such as that is used freely in a white household, Caucasian household. There's no accountability because it keeps happening. Whites feel comfortable using this type of terminology and thinking that it's okay because that's the playbook that trump is using trone declined an interview request but in a statement he says that he attempted to use the word boogaboo but quote i used a phrase that is offensive and that has a long dark terrible history and should have never been used in any conversation
Starting point is 01:23:02 all the democrats are using uh trump's playbook of racial slurs and i guess i guess we're doomed right listening to that news report i'm even more confused i still don't know why he would be quoting beyonce kelly and michelle in a senate hearing i don't see where there was room for bugaboo definitely wasn't no room for jigaboo david also acknowledges privilege as a white man and an elected official recognizing his responsibility for the words he uses particularly in moments of intensity moments of intensity that is an accurate phrase because i was always told to pay attention to what people say out of anger because they've been dying to tell you that okay david throne been wanting to call someone a jiggaboo for a long time now i looked up the definition of jigaboo all it means
Starting point is 01:23:45 from what i could find is uh it's just used as an insult and contemptuous term for a black person that's it so this isn't one of those times you can blame this uh on republicans because this man david throne is a democrat and you know y'all want to always show us the difference between democrats and republicans but at the end of the, the day gonna end with one of these white men, regardless of party, calling you something you don't want to be called. Please let Chelsea Handler give David Throne the biggest hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Hee-haw! Hee-haw! That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Let Kathy Griffin get in on this. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. I'm not fighting the urge, dude. Do it. Go slur for slur.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Do it. No. Don't go slur for slur, right? You gotta grow up. If I can't say, if I can't, come on. Nah, I'm not gonna go slur. I see Chris Rock.
Starting point is 01:24:36 I'm not gonna go slur for slur. I'm not gonna go, I see Chris. Mack is here. Mack, what's up, Mack? How you guys doing? Big Mack as hell. Yeah, I heard the donkey.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Why you don't play wobble when Big Mac walk in the room? No, it's going to take too much time. Okay, whatever. But I heard the donkey, and I was thinking to myself, you know, people make honest mistakes, like you said. He's used the term a lot, and it upset us. It upset me when I heard it. But, you know, with black people, you make things easier when they are in song. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:03 You know what I mean? So, you know, with the power of chat BET, I was curious of what it would sound like. Chat BET? Yeah, it's the black version. Oh, my God. I was curious of what his, you know, his slur would have sounded like over a song. Maybe I wouldn't be as mad. I'm going to regret this.
Starting point is 01:25:17 I want to hear it. Let me hear it. I can move. Jigaboo. Jigaboo. If you're going to ban TikTok, I want chat BET banned immediately. I want chat BET banned right along with TikTok, damn it. Y'all. Okay. Get out of here, Mac. Jesus Christ. You know what's crazy, though? Y'all going to be like, what?
Starting point is 01:25:50 Yeah, he crazy, too. But I didn't know Jigaboo was a racial slur. What? The first time I ever heard it was when Tariq Cruz used it in White Chicks. Oh, you're right. Get this Jigaboo out of my face. You don't hear it that much? Yeah. No, that's like old racist. my face you don't hear it that much yeah
Starting point is 01:26:05 that's like old racist you don't hear it that much yeah see that's what I'm saying I didn't know that it don't really hit to be honest it's vintage racist it don't it sounds kinda cute
Starting point is 01:26:13 no it didn't yeah like you a jigaboo a little jigaboo ah yeah cause if anything I think about like Jay Z like
Starting point is 01:26:20 jigaboo listen I don't know all white men out there with black girlfriends if you dating. I don't know. All white men out there with black girlfriends, if you're dating a boy, don't do that. Don't do that.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Do not call her the damn Jigga Boo. Just try it and see what happens. Okay? And say it casually. I was watching the Dr. Umar video.
Starting point is 01:26:38 I'm lying. I was watching the Dr. Umar video and he said that that was a good way for interracial relationships to be scrimping. So if you're a white man
Starting point is 01:26:44 and you're dating a black woman, just say that to her. Hey, good evening, Jigaboo. What's up? Change your name and your phone. Change your name and your phone. Easy. I play too much. Just see what happens.
Starting point is 01:26:54 You'll get somebody hurt. Just see what happens. All right. I did not know that, though. Thank you for the donkey of the day. Just see what happens. Nope. And record it.
Starting point is 01:27:00 Record it when you do. That's a good TikTok challenge. Jesus. Say, Charlamagne told me to say it. Nope. Dang, I ain't got nothing to do with this. I got this from Dr. That's a good TikTok challenge. Say, Charlemagne told me to say it. No, dang. I ain't got nothing to do with this. I got this from Dr. Umar. I'm lying.
Starting point is 01:27:08 I am totally against it. All right. Now, when we come back, Tim Ross will be joining us. Pastor. Tim Ross. He's got a new book out called Welcome to the Basement. An Upside-Down Guide to Greatness. All right.
Starting point is 01:27:20 And we're going to kick it with him next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Starting point is 01:27:32 Yes, indeed. Podcaster, preacher, author. Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Ross. Welcome. My man. Good to see y'all. How you doing? Good morning.
Starting point is 01:27:39 Chilling, man. Chilling. Good to be here with y'all. Yes, absolutely. The name of the book is Welcome to the Basement, an Upside Down Guide to Greatness, man. Talk to us about that title. Yeah. So the basement came from this vision I had when I was 30 years old. The nutshell is that everybody thinks that the way to success is up. But I found out the way to success is down. Since the Bible is the most upside down book that's ever been written we realize that you know
Starting point is 01:28:07 the way up is actually down the way in is out the way to live is to die the way to get is to give so just giving people that counter-cultural idea of what it is to really press b and go down to the basement i heard you speak about uh the bible and how you feel like people are so judgy, but don't necessarily understand and realize the judginess that we are. Those are some of the people that we are discussing in the Bible. Yeah, for sure. Break that down a little bit. What I love about the Bible is that the Bible has zero chill in the way that it pins the people that were in it, right? abraham has faith and he's a liar like moses is a great prophet and he's a murderer right david is uh a man after god's own heart and he had his homie
Starting point is 01:28:52 killed and impregnated his wife the writers of the bible have no chill in like chronicling who these people are and i just feel like as a body as a church if we were as honest as the Bible that we read people could find themselves in the story I think it gets crazy when you get to Sunday and the preacher is trying to act like he's not as fallible as the people that we're reading about in the Bible right so it's interesting though right because you know you're born without sin right we're born in sin even as a child oh absolutely i mean think about it when it when a baby is born you don't have to teach that joker how to lie like that comes in lying yeah but really because they don't sort of know any better but if you
Starting point is 01:29:38 instill what i'm saying basically if you instill a lot of these things into children early early on yeah can't they possibly not make any of those mistakes that we just talked about? Can they possibly know lying is wrong? Right. I ain't never killed nobody. Right. For sure. For sure.
Starting point is 01:29:53 Absolutely. Can't you keep them from making those mistakes and being those kind of people? Oh, absolutely. But but again, we're talking about the nature of a person when they're born. And this is why in the in scripture we talk about being born again we are born into sin we are born in we are born again into salvation or into righteousness we're made righteous by the blood of jesus that was shed on the cross so for me it's not a matter of like you know babies being murderers it's just the fact that they're born
Starting point is 01:30:22 into a state that is called sin yeah well they they learn this right it's learned behavior right that's absolutely correct so like my daughter uh who's two years old uh says her tummy hurts and she wants a snack candy watches whatever it may be because when she watches tv she sees the kids are sick on tv and they ask mom can i have something to make me feel better so she follows follows that. So she's lying, not saying her stomach hurts, but her stomach can't hurt every day. Right, right, right. As soon as she gets that candy, she's okay. So I do get that.
Starting point is 01:30:50 But I do have a question, right? So I was, it's funny, I was getting a haircut last night and I was talking to my barber and I was like, yeah, Tim Ross will be joining. He was like, oh, I love Tim Ross. He started talking about the basement in your podcast. He was like, he had one viral moment though. But he was like, I don't think people understood and heard the full thing and i was like well what was the viral moment he was like he compared jesus on a cross to a strip on a pole not quite and he was like lord that's what
Starting point is 01:31:15 he told me yeah but he was like he was like but people didn't hear the whole thing yeah at the end they will get it but i don't think people got it so you got to ask them to clarify that so yeah for sure so um jesus was a scribble yeah i said the only the only stripper that i love is jesus like that's that's the only stripper that i love okay so jesus came out of heaven to put on humanity took off glory to put on divinity then he was stripped butt naked and died on a tree so the own that's why i said the only stripper that I love is Jesus. So people did take it out of context and it was a viral moment. The people in the room understood it.
Starting point is 01:31:53 There was a lot of people that felt like it was inappropriate or tasteless. That's their opinion. I know the people I was talking to. I know that anytime people are doing this in a church service I think they know the context of stripper and what I meant when I made the statement so yeah I guess what I was did Jesus script or was or was he script he stripped and was stripped okay because he took off glory he stripped himself of that like everything that made him uh god and divine he took that off so that he could live and dwell among us he's fully god and fully man but he took off that glory side of him so that
Starting point is 01:32:32 he could relate to us do you think you have to start at the bottom to accomplish true success because i mean a lot of us especially black people in this country we don't have a choice yeah for sure but i mean for those of us who are breaking generational curses absolutely you know creating better foundations for our kids to start from. Do you feel like you have to start from the bottom? Yeah, I think I know my if we talk about the bottom as like a spot, I don't think everybody has to start from there. But mentality wise, I believe it's good to have humility and think of yourself not more highly than you really are. My mom made a dope statement to me years ago. She said, no matter how high you go, Tim, just remember,
Starting point is 01:33:10 you're still going to be at the feet of Jesus. That's right. So when you think about that, when you think about the success that you all have attained, the success that a lot of us have attained, yeah, my kids, I was born in the hood. My kids are straight up upper middle class black kids. I don't want them to start from where I started from. But I still want them to have that mentality to be humble, to not walk around like they're arrogant, to not walk around like they are better than anybody else, and to give back to the people that they see that are less fortunate. Well, that's regardless.
Starting point is 01:33:40 I think that's anybody, no matter how much money you make, that's what you want for your kids. That's what we want. And that's the mentality that i teach in that book and i guess we're all starting at ground zero right because even if you create a great foundation for your kids they still have to go out there on their journey facts they're still starting at absolutely yeah absolutely so yeah that's that's that's my mentality for it talk to us about chapter four the off of a maybe what is what is off of a maybe yeah bro so um it's one of one of my favorite chapters in the book because jesus died for you for you for everybody in this room everybody in
Starting point is 01:34:13 the world off of a maybe like first of all if i was jesus i would you you wouldn't have no choice but to serve me if i die for you you're going to serve me like there's not going to be no like hey i'm gonna give you free will envy you got a choice i'm gonna haunt you like i'm gonna be on your neck every day until you like realize i i poured out blood for you uh but jesus went to the cross knowing that some people are still not going to accept them that some people are still going to mock them that some people are still going to act like he didn't do what he did and to me that's an extravagant gesture to die for somebody knowing they might do it and they might not but i love them so much i'm gonna do it anyway and hopefully they get the revelation of it
Starting point is 01:35:02 all right we got more with tim ross when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with tim ross charlemagne i talked about the language of uh you know i guess pastoring is dead because you know we had ty trivett up here yep and you know that's my homie ty's a good brother you know he said that uh the church was whack so i think the institution of church is whack i think how church is ran is whack i think the religious system and structure is whack i don't subscribe to it even though i grew up in it i benefited from it but i learned that god is not the church and once i realized whoa god ain't church that for me you know i mean i ain't from the streets i'm from the church so that once I realized, whoa, God ain't church. For me, you know what I mean? I ain't from the streets.
Starting point is 01:35:46 I'm from the church. So that was a huge thing as well. Everybody took that line. Yeah. The church is whack. But what he was saying was the church should be about the people, but the church makes the people about the church. They're not serving and loving the people.
Starting point is 01:35:59 Right. His initial statement was, man, the church is whack. Yeah. But here is the reasons why. Yeah. But nobody, y'all know this, nobody listens to the whole thing for context anymore the 90 second soundbite is the whole message now yeah the message for you is the message for you it's a message for me nobody goes oh i wonder what charlamagne was talking about let me go listen to the i wonder what dj envy
Starting point is 01:36:19 meant let me go listen to the whole thing nah your 90 seconds is the whole conversation ty trippett is the lead pastor of a church in Orlando. So if the next day the church was whack, he talking about himself. Right. He would be saying his church is whack. That's not what he was saying. But nobody listens for the period anymore. They just listen to the comma.
Starting point is 01:36:39 And that's that's just the nature of social media right now. And what do you think? What do you think about his comments? Do you agree? Yeah, of course I agree. Now, because I know he wasn't generalizing, but he's talking about specific churches. What I love is that he didn't name them. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:36:55 Like, the best way to counteract a whack church is to have a real one. I ain't got a name. Like, y'all ain't got to get up here and talk about the other stations. Like, don't listen to the other stations. We the best. Just be the best. And everybody will know that the rest ain't worth listening to. And so when I was a pastor, it was the same thing. It was like, let me just teach the Bible. I know there's some whack teaching out here, some whack preachers out here. The best thing I can do is be authentic in the way that I lead authentic and and in the way that I teach scripture
Starting point is 01:37:25 staying true to scripture and then letting everybody else go figure out when they listen to somebody else like yeah nah that ain't that ain't what I get I get better food at home you think the business of church has uh hurt the quote-unquote church where you see pastors getting arrested you see so many things going on you think that's hurt church so much when people don't know if they can actually trust a preacher pastor yeah for sure that's part of the incongruence that really breaks my heart right is that it's the same thing with with uh police officers right my mother worked for the lapd for 30 years i went to school started to be a homicide detective that's what i wanted to do with my whole life. And so when you see what happens to George Floyd and what happens to so many people across this nation's and then they say all police are whack. It's like, well, that's not true. Right. In the same way, you see a pastor get arrested.
Starting point is 01:38:15 You see a pastor get exposed for this, that and the other. And then it's like all pastors are like this. And it's like, it's not true. The file I call on the people are like, that's why I don't go to church. church i'm like y'all got food poisoning before and still still went back out to eat like you know what i'm saying nobody's home cooked meals from now on you know what i'm saying i'll never go out i'm never doing uber eats again never gonna have a door dash no you just don't f with that chinese food place no more but don't't say you're going to write off all restaurants. So in the same way it's like, don't say all churches hurt you. That one did. That one on the
Starting point is 01:38:52 corner. So go find another one. And if you really got hurt, go to therapy, get over that little hurt and then move around. I'm just going back to the Christmas one more time. Did you tell people you were going to stop Christmas? Because you got backlash from the church? No, not from backlash from the church no no no not from backlash from the church i did not first of all let me let me let me um give you context i use strong language on a total of four
Starting point is 01:39:15 pods total okay the way they replay that thing you would think i was dave chapelling every episode of the basement i ever did like what's up, Mother Ephus? You know, welcome to The Basement. That wasn't the case. I talked to a dear friend of mine who I preach at his church, and he had a lot of his congregants that were concerned that I use strong language on my podcast. They listen to the podcast and they attend this person's church. After I finished talking to him, I was like, bro, it ain't that serious. Like, I don't want you in your welcome center answering questions about your friend who has a podcast. So I'm not dying on that. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed,
Starting point is 01:39:57 a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capriburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
Starting point is 01:40:26 No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

Listen to haunting on the I heart radio app, Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And because I still preach for a few of my friends in churches, I just decided to back off from using strong language on the mic. That wasn't even far enough for the people that don't like me because they want me to say it's a sin. It's not. It might be your conviction.
Starting point is 01:45:44 It's not a sin. I've never come close to using it in the pulpit we could talk about some preachers that do right and have their own church milk um it ain't that serious to me the bible says curse the devil though well okay so so let's let's talk about the difference between cursing and cussing these are not the same thing break it down for me a curse c-u-r-s-e like roots voodoo yeah like like cursing is that's a real thing like cursing is is scriptural cussing cussing is a matter of language and who won the last war but i thought witchcraft ain't supposed to be in part of this either though no witchcraft is definitely a sin yeah yeah scripture is clear on that so curse they curse the devil how do you curse the devil c-u-r-s-e because i say
Starting point is 01:46:29 i've been saying literally that's that's been an affirmation of mine all my life whenever i get my anxiety attacks when i was a child i used to say i love jehovah god i grew up joel witness yeah i love jehovah god and his son jesus christ i love jehovah god and his son jesus christ i love jehovah god and his son jesus christ satan satan sat Satan I've been saying that since I was a child yeah sounds like you cursed the devil well I said that as a kid yes as a child in my brain I would say that wow first of all I'm trying to figure out where the scripture is that actually says curse the devil I know I might have just made that I think you did I'm running a reference running a reference in my head. I'm like, that don't even sound familiar. I don't even remember that verse. But what I will say, though, is word curses are a real thing. People, again, have had issue with my strong language.
Starting point is 01:47:17 I'm not here to defend it. Again, their convictions are different from mine. No sense in going around the bush. What I will say, though, is I've had more hurt at the hands of people in church that have never used a curse word but have gossip lied backbitten spread rumors spread lies that's what scripture talks about when it says um you know don't use filthy communication it's talking about those types of things so for me i'm i'm trying to just be authentic and true to to who i am and the people that um i feel like i'm called to what's one main one main message that you hope people get from reading this book versus listening to
Starting point is 01:47:58 your podcast my hope and prayer when they read the book is that the world will literally be turned upside down with the message love and hope of of Jesus Christ and that they will spend the rest of their life trying to upset others. I talk about being a do-gooder in that book all the time and the world is already cynical. And if we could just show our good deeds to people, we could soften the hearts of both men and women and give them a proper perspective on a loving god because he really is loving like he loved the world so much he gave his son before we even knew to ask for him he gave so to give people that hope that's what i hope they metabolize in the book and that they actually live out yeah welcome to the basement and upside down guide to greatness.
Starting point is 01:48:46 It's out right now. And we appreciate you for joining us. Appreciate you, man. Absolutely. Check out his podcast. Thank you for coming, brother. Thank you, man. Tim Ross is the breakfast club.

Y'all on one today. All right, listen. New York State is aiming to make cheating legal. Now, this is the story I was going to cover in the second hour. Listen, since 1907, cheating has been a crime in New York. And I didn't know that New York is the only state where you can actually go to jail for cheating. Imagine you being in there and you like, what you in for?
Starting point is 01:54:42 Somebody like, man, cheating. Like, I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Yeah, we have a news report. Fox 26. Now, infidelity could put any marriage in jeopardy. But any New Yorkers who are cheating could land in jail. Thanks to a state law that's been around a while.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Adultery has actually been a crime. A crime misdemeanor in new york city since 1907 a new bill is making its way through the new york legislature to end that law repeal it only about a dozen people have been charged under the law since 1972 it's punishable by up to three months in prison that's crazy you learn You learn something new every day. I had no idea. You didn't know? Oh, so you must not have did your cheating in New York.
Starting point is 01:55:27 Black men don't cheat. Okay. Legislators have tried to have the law removed in 1964, but nothing ever came out of it. And look, somebody said, well, Assemblyman Charles Levine said,
Starting point is 01:55:37 it's a joke. This law was someone's expression of moral outrage. And that's what I believe. How you gonna send somebody to jail for cheating? With all the horrible laws in New York City, that's what I believe. How you gonna send somebody to jail for cheating? With all the horrible laws in New York City,
Starting point is 01:55:46 that's the law that a politician or a legislator focused on? Yup, and since the 60s, they've been trying to get it removed
Starting point is 01:55:52 and haven't. I don't see the problem with him focusing on that law. There's all type of other laws that I think would oversee that one.
Starting point is 01:55:59 But what if that's a congressman that's cheating? He don't want to go to jail for three months. Oh, he's going for his best interest? That's right. I don't see the problem to jail for three months oh he's going for his best interest that's right
Starting point is 01:56:05 I don't see the problem with this okay okay I just didn't know it was an actual crime yeah yeah what cheating
Starting point is 01:56:12 yeah in New York you scared you can get whole time black men don't cheat what about yo
Starting point is 01:56:18 what if it can be like bet in the past cheating that people can get locked up for I'm gonna be doing the show by myself. All right.
