The D Brown P deep brown pumps salute to all the sneaker heads out there all the people that spent way too much money on sneakers and them bright-ass colors that you'll never wear again yeah I was one of those but good morning yeah the reason that you feel good about that is because it probably took you back to a time it did when things were all so simple that's right you know what I mean you probably remember what the first time you were you remember where you were the first
Starting point is 00:03:23 time you even saw those shacks yeah yeah yeah I think remember the first time you were you remember where you were the first time you even saw those Shacks?

It's great to be uncle auntie cuz we got memories. Yeah, absolutely Absolutely, you don't want to. You don't want to die young. No. Okay, you want to get older, and so you can have that feeling that you had yesterday

Yeah, and you know, we always talk about anxiety, and you shouldn't raise your kids over fear, we have that conversation, but I think up front, my daughter's overseas right now, and I FaceTime her every damn near 10 minutes.

Yeah, and the reality of the situation is you can call her every 10 minutes, and whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen regardless. You right.
Starting point is 00:04:19 You don't have to make yourself feel better. I am. And in the process, you're disturbing her peace. I'm sure. And interrupting her trip. I'm sure. So you're being selfish. So? Yeah, you need to talk to your therapist a little bit more about that. No, no. That's a narcissistic trait, sir. Well, I'll be fine on the weekend when she's back.

We're going to be talking about the breakfast club. We're going to be talking about the breakfast club. We're going to be talking about the breakfast club. We're going to be talking about the breakfast club. We'reagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news Now quick sports looks like Jake and Logan Paul will be Matt will be fighting each other March 27th they should be streaming on max they teased it yesterday. Are you guys gonna watch that? Probably but it's clearly they can't get nobody else to fight them They already fighting each other or they just want the big payday
Starting point is 00:06:25 But you know two brothers really gonna fight each other hard, but that's what my point is It's like it's too early for that it's like yo They feel like Jake Paul can't find a way to fight Logan Paul can't find a way to fight. All right Well, good morning Morgan. Good morning. We'll just fight each other. Yes Good morning, East Charlemagne and just how y'all feeling this morning. Good girl. Good. All right. Let's get into it. So the White House is putting a spotlight on actions taken by President Trump in his first week since taking office. Press secretary, Caroline Levitt discussed immigration raids drones in New Jersey, the federal aid freeze during her first press
Starting point is 00:07:01 briefing, which from the perspective of my colleague, seemed to be quite a mess in that room. Levitt read out some of the illegal immigrants who have been detained during raids this week. She added Trump will continue to send a loud and clear message when it comes to immigration. Let's hear more from press secretary Caroline Levitt on who highlighted the executive actions taken by Trump in his first week. Since taking the oath of office, President Trump has taken more than 300 executive actions, secured nearly $1 trillion in US investments, deported illegal alien rapists, gang members,
Starting point is 00:07:35 and suspected terrorists from our homeland. By using every lever of his federal power, President Trump has sent a loud and clear message to the entire world. America will no longer tolerate illegal immigration. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigrants has resulted in over 3,500 arrests. Now, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem joined a raid on Tuesday yesterday where she said ICE officers made an arrest in New York. I will talk more about that in the next hour.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I'm waiting to see Trump jump out one of them vans. I know it's coming. Oh Lord. The way they putting on the show with this, I know Trump about to jump out one of them vans. So the White House also defended Trump's executive order that aims limit on birthright citizenship. Let's hear those comments from press secretary Leavitt. This administration believes that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And that is why President Trump signed that executive order. Illegal immigrants who come to this country and have a child are not subject to the laws of this jurisdiction. We have already appealed the rule, the lawsuit that was filed against this administration and we are prepared to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to. So the executive order being that it's trying Trump's for Trump's sign when he was sworn back into office last week would limit birthright citizenship to children born to at least one parent who is either a US citizen or a permanent resident. A federal judge temporarily blocked that order after at least five lawsuits have been filed against it. And of course
Starting point is 00:09:10 when the administration was asked about Black History Month, this is what they had to say. Shout out to, well before I get into that, let me just say shout out to April Ryan who we call the Dean. She is the longest running black White House White House correspondent And yeah, she asked the question about Black History Month And here's what press secretary Levitt had to say as far as I know this White House certainly still intends to celebrate And we will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions that all Americans regardless of race religion or creed have made To our great country and America is back America is back. America is back.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I'm glad Ava Ryan is still in that room. You know, I saw yesterday how Trump had reinstated 400 media passes and they're providing new credential passes to non-traditional media like podcasts and bloggers. And I want all media outlets, I think y'all should apply for those press passes to be in that White House press room. I know some of y'all feel like you're protesting or resisting or don't want anything to do with that administration. But I don't feel like, uh her name Caroline love it. Mm-hmm Yeah, I don't feel like she was getting pressed about nothing yesterday with all the chaos that Trump was doing yesterday I think about how they used to give Kareem John Piedic. She used to be in there fighting for her life, right?
Starting point is 00:10:18 So somebody should be in there pressing on you know President yeah, just pretty new press secretary. Press the press secretary. Well, when speaking about federal aid freeze, Levitt said it's the responsibility of the Trump administration to be stewards of Americans' tax dollars. The federal aid freeze has been a huge deal, which again, I'll talk more about in the seven o'clock hour. But she said that the Department of Government Efficiency and the OBM found that there were to be about 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza,
Starting point is 00:10:51 which of course there's been a real back on that, to which she called a preposterous waste of taxpayer money. So that's where the issue of the pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars. And I don't know if you guys have seen it online, but in Gaza it seems like they're making balloon condoms or something like that they're like putting helium in them and making balloon condoms. People still fornicating don't get it twisted you know I'm saying like that ain't gonna stop nothing you know I mean this war ain't gonna stop a little sex. Alright well that's your front page news 6 a.m. see you guys around 7 where we'll talk more about the federal freeze.

Starting point is 00:16:01 I just wanted to point out that because it feels like everybody is so Engulfed and distracted by what's going on around the world that they're forgetting that god always gives us an exit So you just gotta be paying attention so you know when your exit is coming So, you know what to do and how to move just stay stay stay down with god and he got you queen You know these things are happening.

Let's take a listen You never know him to have any gun? Not to my knowledge. I never physically seen him. Any guns. On rocket. Okay. What was the first thing that you saw him do with the gun? Oh, he pointed at me. And then that's when Elijah was like in between and he's like, I'll kill you right now. And then I'm just right behind Elijah and I'm saying, if you brought a gun, use it then. Like, the f*** you brought a gun for?
Starting point is 00:24:43 And from what you're describing, was it moving? Yeah, it was moving, he had it up. Okay, so he didn't just hold it at your stomach, it was kind of going up. No, no, he was looking for a spot to shoot him. I need all of you who take the stand to up your performance. You know what I'm saying? YSL Woody set the bar high.
Starting point is 00:24:59 If I was with you, Gloria, I would've yelled, cut, cut, I need more. I need more, Relly, more. Nah, it was, because it was very like yeah because he had pointed the gun at me and I was like then you better shoot it and the attorney actually doubled back and was like whoa Can you make it make sense of why you would tell him to shoot you?
Starting point is 00:25:18 You weren't like basically Right. Hold on. So let's take a listen to that that audio Why because mentally like I couldn't believe From like So if a stranger Do you gun in the same way that he did, how do you think you would shoot him? Oh, I would try to run him. Do you think you'd respond the same way and say, shoot me? No.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Shoot him? No. But my homeboy, yes, please shoot me. But that's Marindo. Because he didn't think his boy would shoot him, that's why. Yeah, but it's like- But on the stand, it just sounds crazy. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like, come on, what are we talking about? Because if I'm Rocky's attorney, I'm like, wait, so this man had a real gun with real bullets pointed to you going from your head to your chest and you talking about you got The gun you might as a bullet you weren't scared. This probably was a fake gun Can be a response to shock that can be that can be a shock response a trauma Might have watched too many movies. No, not only that. That's that's his that's his well He thought it was his friend. They grew up since teenagers Yeah, so it's like if a friend of mine pulls out a gun and they mad I'm like you ain't shooting me What you gonna do with that gun?
Starting point is 00:26:31 Strangers what you gonna do with that when they pull up? Playing to do with that but it also shows me to like for me when I when I hear somebody cuz I know people who've Been in that situation is like, okay you put it out you better shoot it But that means if you better if he doesn't shoot it there's retaliation of some sort normally that's what that means right i know a rapper that shall remain nameless uh that's his story to tell but he got a gun put on him and he said you look a little nervous with that thing there you look a little nervous with that thing i don't think you're ready to use that i would have put it right back in my pocket who was the rapper i think we might have told that story but you tell stories who is it i'm not saying on a go on the court So Rihanna is expected to go to court Rihanna is actually expected to show up today
Starting point is 00:27:09 Wednesday the 29th and that's gonna be a whole thing because our Rihanna's Rihanna, right? But also to you know, we've been talking about this about how they Room the jury is like Wow, in my opinion and they've been asking the jurors like if Rihanna were to come in, the jury is like, wowed in my opinion. And they've been asking the jurors, like, if Rihanna were to come in here for the people who didn't know her music or said they knew her, would y'all be able to still do your job? I don't think nobody's going to jump up and fan out or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:27:36 But her presence in the courtroom will be a thing and that's supposed to happen today. And I think a lot of people have been wondering when she's going to make her grand entrance because her grand in your Maybe going to jail. That's right. Yeah, but I bet you I bet you if Rihanna show up today All the headlines are gonna be about Rihanna being there. What? Yeah Great insurance. You think she can't get around it? The really good shot did he get hurt did he get injured? Did he get damaged? Did he have to go to the hospital the gun? so from what he's saying that he got grazed. And there was there was like photos of like the injuries of the grazing.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Oh, Relly really don't like Rocky because he going all the way and he wants to lock them for a long time. Well, there were text messages that came out and in those, and that was over when we were on off for the weekend or whatever. But in those text messages, his whole thing is like, yo, you try to, he said to Rocky, you tried to take me away from my daughter. So he, you know, I think his thing is, is like, regardless of, I could have not been grazed. And he said, if their other friend wasn't there, he don't know what would have happened, right? Cause you shoot, you shoot a gun allegedly,
Starting point is 00:28:34 you don't know if he's going to graze a person, going to shoot a person to the point where it's critical. You don't know that. Right? You know what I mean? Why would Rocky not take the deal knowing he's on camera, allegedly shooting a gun and the victim took the stand saying he shot the gun.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Like if I'm Rocky I'm calling my lawyer ASAP to see if that deal is still on tape. Can we get that deal back? Can we bring that deal back? That's a big point only because they don't have him on the video shooting it but you hear the gunshots and because Relly is on the stand saying Rocky is the one who had the gun, Rocky's team is saying he had a gun but it wasn't real but you hear shots so something was fired. I thought he was on video with the gun.
Starting point is 00:29:08 He's on video with a gun but they can't they're trying to argue with the gun isn't a real gun you get what I'm saying but it's like still shots of some sort were fired. I bet you Rocky Dorelli wasn't gonna get on the stand and tell on them. I think so too. That's what I'm assuming. They grew up with each other. And that's why I think a lot of people leaned into the coverage of this Because it actually happened now moving on somebody else who's like stirring up some stuff right now I don't think it was on purpose though Anthony Mackie Captain America. He had some comments
Starting point is 00:29:35 I wasn't even as serious you think so Well, let's take a listen to Anthony Mackie because people people are taking it very serious for me Captain, Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I don't think the term America should be one of those representations. It's about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity, and integrity. Someone who is trustworthy and dependable. This is kind of like an aspect of a dream coming true. Yeah, we're just like, like the American dream. Like, nah, but that's not like in real life for real. Captain America does not represent America.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Like, that's just who he is to the other people in the league or whatever. Like he's, he's there. He's a man of his word. Like, you know what I'm saying? He's loyal all that, but nah, that ain't America. You're a big fan. Yeah, I didn't understand what Anthony Mackie was trying to say at first,
Starting point is 00:30:30 but his statement after that made a lot of sense to me because to Justin's point, he was just pointing out universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to, and he wants people all over the world to embrace the Captain America character, AKA, I need the worldwide global box office to be big, not just domestic.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Period, well I think, so Anthony Mackie after this video and more recently had to come out and then reclarify what he meant because people were upset. He said, let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like Cap is an honor. I have the utmost respect for those who served and have served our country.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Cap is a universal characteristic, has universal characteristics that all people all over the world can relate to but I feel like people were upset because basically for me, I I think that in my opinion Anthony Mackie was saying that America doesn't represent those good morals and that good integrity that he's leaning into Captain America. Yeah No, not all the time. Absolutely. People don't want to hear that about their America Question just question. I know you watch it you're into it. I don't watch it. I just see commercials. I thought Captain America was white Yeah, it was Chris Evans me too at first. He was his man's after the man
Starting point is 00:31:32 He was her man's because Captain America got tired and was like yo you can take this on that's in the movie in the comic books No, look in the comic book says Steve Rogers. Who's white? And there's a Sam Wilson who's black Sam Wilson used to be Falcon and then he becomes Captain America. Oh yeah so that's what it was. Bucky Barnes is the Captain America. Yeah he was like, yeah yo I'm tired. There's another black Captain America. I think anybody in this franchise needs to understand this especially if you black you gotta watch what you say and people ain't gonna like that but that's the truth. Yeah I think he was just trying
Starting point is 00:32:03 to sell it at the worldwide global box office that's what I think. That's just my personal opinion. Okay. He was trying to say like look Captain America can relate to people all over the world cuz Marvel's not doing well. Okay. Neither is America. Marvel's not doing well. They need this they need this to be a hit at the worldwide box office. Okay. Alright well that was just with the mess. Now when we come back we got front page news and then we reported a story yesterday about Big Dank from Detroit. She got a denied access to a Lyft. She was trying to get somewhere around Detroit and the Lyft driver said no you're too big for
Starting point is 00:32:39 this car. We're gonna take your phone calls. He said't have to say that he said bring, he said I need two cars order another car right now they gonna get you is the breakfast club good morning wake up, wake up, you're like into the breakfast club morning everybody is DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy
Starting point is 00:33:00 we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news morning Morgan good morning Envy, Charlamagne and We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Good morning, Envy, Charlamagne and Jess. Y'all good? Good to see you again. Good, good, good. Good. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:11 So let's get into it. We were talking about it a little bit earlier about this, uh, federal freeze on aid. So a judge is temporarily halting president Trump's plan to freeze federal aid. Yesterday, a federal judge granted an administrative stay pausing Trump's plans to at least through Monday. The freeze was set to take effect on Tuesday at 5 p.m. Eastern and was ordered on domestic and foreign federal aid with Social Security and Medicare not affected. Now Democrats push back with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying Donald Trump's administration blatantly disobeys the law by holding up virtually all vital funds that support programs in every community
Starting point is 00:33:49 across the country. He lists those programs. Let's hear more from Chuck Schumer. The Trump administration announced a halt to virtually all federal funds across the country. In an instant, Donald Trump has shut off billions, perhaps trillions of dollars that directly support states, cities, towns, schools, hospitals, small businesses, and most of all, American families.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Funds for things like disaster assistance, local law enforcement, rural hospitals, aid to the elderly, food for people in need, all are on the chopping block. What y'all gonna do about it Chuck? That's what I'd be wanting to know. Don't go off there and just tell me all the problems. What are some of the solutions? What are the guardrails that y'all gonna put in place to, you know, slow this down Chuck? So as the press secretary said yesterday, she defended the freeze saying it's the responsibility of the Trump administration to be stewards of American tax dollars and Saying that the freeze would not impact social security as I mentioned before Medicare and direct payments to individuals
Starting point is 00:34:52 Such as food stamps so food stamps still remain The Trump administration is planning to offer buyouts to federal workers who don't want to return to the office after he's ordered Workers to return to the office after he's ordered workers to return to the office five days. Now this deferred resignation would include a severance package of roughly eight months pay and benefits. The administration says it expects five to ten percent of its federal workforce to quit. A senior administration official says that could lead to roughly one billion dollars in savings. The buyout offer is set to go through a new system that allows officials the ability to email all federal employees at once.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And the resignation period opened on Tuesday and runs through February 6. So they're giving you some time to decide. I doubt the payout is something that you can live on for the rest of your life or even for a long time, a short term. So it's like, why? Why resign? And if the email that I read is correct, they're basically asking you to kind of like pick a side,
Starting point is 00:35:47 basically like if you don't like us, if you don't like the Trump administration and what we're doing, then quit. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. But I wouldn't quit, no, nope. Stay at work, y'all. All right, so switching gears or looking at the other perspective of this.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Fears of ICE immigration raids coming to Cincinnati public schools is blamed for plummeting attendance. Now, Aladate Cruz and Kendra Adamson, they teach at Aiken High School, which is in Ohio. Cincinnati teachers are calling on the board to express support for undocumented children because they're not coming to school because they are afraid of these ICE rates. Let's hear more from them. Since the current president was inaugurated, about 50 percent of my students have stopped attending on a daily basis. Families and parents are writing me saying they don't want to send
Starting point is 00:36:33 their children to school. I have seen a sharp decline in the attendance from my students who are usually so eager to learn. In multiple classes, I am missing half of my students, many of whom who have said specifically that they're scared to come to school because of the potential of those raids. That's real. I saw a teacher say that one of his Mexican students said, I'll see you tomorrow. And the teacher replied back to the student. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:36:57 I hope so. Damn it, man. That's real. Wow. So they called to expand remote learning for those who aren't in the building or those who don't want to show up. Of course, President Trump has reportedly ordered all ICE field offices to make at least 75 arrests per day of illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes.
Starting point is 00:37:14 But ICE agents say those aren't the only people who could be taken into custody and deported, just the criminals. You know, they're rounding up anybody who is in the country illegally. At first, we were thinking it was just going to be those who were committing crimes. But no, it's just if you are in here and your stat, if you are in the country and your status is not up to par, or you're not in good standing, then you are eligible for deportation or eligible for at least under this Trump administration. But isn't being in the country illegally a crime?
Starting point is 00:37:46 That's a crime under federal law. So yeah, so they're rounding up people who are committing crimes, and they're rounding up people who are here illegally because that too is a crime. That is a crime, true. All right, so just really quickly, wrapping up, putting a bow on this thing.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Google says it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in Google Maps. The company made made the announcement on Monday saying it's just waiting on the info to be updated in the US Geographic names system after President Trump changed the name last week The company will also change Mount Denali in Alaska to Mount McKinley per the president's order Former President Obama changed the name of the North of North America's highest peak in 2015 President Obama change the name of North America's highest peak in 2015. Users in other countries will see both names on the map. So they will see Mount Denali and Mount McKinley and they will see the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of America if looking at the map from outside of the United States.
Starting point is 00:38:36 If we ever get another president in my lifetime, I am going to demand so much from them goddamn presidents. Oh my God, I don't want to hear any excuses anymore. This man Donald Trump has showed us what a president can do when they simply just want to do it. Okay. And John Stewart said something on Daily Show this week that's real. He was just like, Democrats get it together. So that same power that Trump has, we can give it to you, but you got to actually do something with it. I'm demanding if if, if we ever get another president in my lifetime, I'm demanding so much from them damn president.
Starting point is 00:39:09 So this man is unbelievable. He does what he says. He's going to be on Mount Rushmore before it's all over. He's going to put himself on Mount Rushmore. He might just get his own. Okay, hold on now. They already started posting, let's get carving Tampa Bay area Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna announced that she's officially introducing legislation to add President Trump

Starting point is 00:45:41 on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's go to work. My best friend has a biz that's newer than this that I can see you. That's the same time. So you really telling me I'm too busy in your car. So I gotta order another lift. And to be more specific with you, I got very tired.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Well, she responded to Lyft driver with this. First of all, let's touch bases on the big b****s in the back that got something to say about me. I seen a b**** go walk. B**** you cool. Like you only like one burger away from being my size. Like y'all a***** tell me to f*** up. Stop pointing yourself at BBW.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Cause you not. Other BBW's don't put other BBW's down. I never contacted Lyft. Then y'all talking about Oh, she posted a video for cloud and I am the clock. I've been doing it a long time I posted this video because y'all got us fucked up You're always trying to put big people want a category y'all want us to be in a house miserable bored
Starting point is 00:46:41 I am a big person advocate and I'm not the only person that they did that s*** to. I'm just the only person that's gonna stand up while the f*** I have an option on a f***ing app that say are you a size or so that we can send you a bigger car.
Starting point is 00:46:56 So that s*** humiliating. No, it's not humiliating. You made the video. It's humiliating. Well, they don't have a big section in the app, right? But they have Uber XL or the OOP, the Samsung. The bigger car that you can ride in.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Yeah, XL. Right. I am a notorious fat shamer. We know. Some will even call me a big of the big backs. So I have to put my prejudice aside to answer this question. But I have to side with the Lyft driver. I respect him for being honest
Starting point is 00:47:22 and I think Big Dang's feelings are hurt. That's why she's making such a big deal about this show because the reality is when you are a certain size the world is not designed for you and I don't care if it's a plane, a ride share service, a ride at Universal Studios, they're going to tell you that you're too big for said ride if you are too big for said ride. I don't see the problem here. Jas we sat away. I'm sat with the Uber driver. I sat with her yesterday. Look, she made more attention come to her and I think she mad because of people coming at her.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I don't even think she mad about, like that happened to her before. Somebody had pulled up and pulled off before. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's not the first time this happened. You made it big and you didn't like the feedback that you got from it. So that's what happened. She's mad at that. And now it's a, I got to gotta stand up all big people and y'all put us in the category You're too big for y'all to fit in one category

I'm mad that she picked the wrong car Yeah, like you cannot like I'm a family of six or eight when I go out with my whole family
Starting point is 00:48:49 I can't get the small Hyundai I gotta get the big XL. I gotta know what I'm driving it and she should have ordered the bigger car Yeah, what's the point of having sizes? They got size 16 for a reason you can go to Shein right now The larger Clover size they got is 5XL. Some people get mad at that because they are bigger than that. How do you know that? Yeah, yeah. Because I Googled it and researched it for this topic.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Okay. All right. I'm not trying to sit here and I'm not trying to shame big people. I'm not trying to do that. I'm just simply telling you that they are sizes and categories for a reason. And there's nowhere that this young lady is gonna go or anybody her size Where somebody is not gonna tell her ma'am you too big for this ride I know it she said she's been doing this for a long time and I believe that's what she meant being big
Starting point is 00:49:36 Jesus all right. She has a wide range of side. Yes. Okay. Yes heavy emphasis on why? Let's go to the phone lines live people in on the lines We have drew on the line now drew it says that you are a chubby girl yourself, and you side with the uber driver What do you drive on a regular basis? I'm in my little Hyundai right now. God damn, you know you need a SUV. What? How much do you weigh? I'm like around 230.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Boy, that poor Hyundai. Oh, man. How's that that big? That's his head. That's my Hyundai pool. Hey, yo, it's hers, though. It's used to it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:50:23 She said her Hyundai clean. 230 ain't that big, though. How tall are you? I'm about like five three. Damn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So look, right? So five three and 230 plus big dank? Nah, nobody doing that in the little Hyundai. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna do it.
Starting point is 00:50:33 You were offensive lineman in the seventh grade from Texas. You were a clown. Five three, 230. Goodbye Drew. Jesus. It's a good prospect, all right? We're going to the league. We have Courtney on the line.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Courtney, good morning. Good morning. Good morning Now Courtney who you feel who you siding with are you siding with the uber driver a big day? Who was just trying to get around to lift drivers? I put a lift job over name. I'm sorry I'm fighting with the lift driver all the way my car my rules There's a weight restriction on a lot of things. Even when you riding on the airplane, they make you pay for two seats if you above a certain weight. That's right. That's right. That man
Starting point is 00:51:16 don't want to have issues with his car and I don't blame him. I'm the same way. If you don't like my rules, then don't ride in my car. I don't care what lifts say. Lift gonna pay for this car? But Lyft, there's no Lyft rules about passenger's weight. There's about luggage weight, but not about passenger's weight. You're absolutely correct. But again, you can refuse a service. And what I don't understand about the driver
Starting point is 00:51:38 is he could have canceled the ride simply. He didn't even have to have an interaction with her. When he pulled up and he realized she was bigger than what he wanted to ride in his car, he could have clicked cancel and drove off. Head drivers. Head drivers. Let me ask you a question too. As a Lyft driver, aren't you responsible for what you put in your car? Meaning like if you put something in your car that you know could potentially cause some harm or cause the car to, I don't know, break or something.
Starting point is 00:52:04 Break down, yeah. Aren't you, don't you have the right to say no for the safety? I feel like you have the right to say no. I mean, safety wise, definitely. There is a responsibility that lies with a passenger. You know, if they steal something or make a mess in your car, you can do a report if you take pictures.
Starting point is 00:52:20 But like I said, it's my car and it's my rules. If I feel uncomfortable with a situation, when I roll up, if I don't like something about it, I'm gonna hit cancel and drive off. What can you do? That's it. All right, well thank you mama. We got Joe on the line.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Joe, good morning. Hey, how's it going? Hey Joe, now if you're just joining us, we're asking, do you side with the Lyft driver or Big Dank, the young lady that, she couldn't get in the Lyft driver, well the Lyft wouldn't take her. I have to I have to side with the lift driver because she knows better, man.
Starting point is 00:52:49 She's they know better. I used to drive lift 10 years ago, and I'll tell you something. One guy, he had to be at least about four or 500 pounds. He was hiding behind the building. So I pulled up. So I pulled up. He come from around the building and, you know, almost took and I said nah I said I'm not gonna do it. I counter the ride, pulled up and I almost turned around and went tell him nah you know damn well you too big to be trying to get in this small ass car.
Starting point is 00:53:15 If I was Lyft I'd put a new category on called forklift. And that's for people who weigh a certain size. But get all that uber XL. Forklift. Hello, who's this? This is Portia. Hey Portia, good morning. We're in Breakfast Club Court right now. You siding with the Lyft driver or the young lady Big Dink? I'm siding with the Lyft driver all the way.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Big Dink is out of her mind. Yeah, she knew though. Big Dink didn't die yet. I watched this 100 pounds. Some people be in a trance. She thought she was gonna ride and wear it. That's right. She probably couldn't even fit in the subway big big gotta rethink them because I saw a video when she was on stage and a knee Collapse that's that's how she was gonna do my man's top. He's wrong for that
Starting point is 00:53:55 Oh, you say the stage clothes are on stage and stage collapse. No, she collapsed on stage Yo, not shit. Goddamn. I was like, what? You know, she had bad knees. She had bad knees. Her knees? She thought she was doing the thing. And she passed on stage, and that's how she was going to do my man car.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Everybody want a payday, and it ain't even suck. And by the way, an airline going to tell her the same damn thing. Yeah, remember? They told Sheila that, and why did I get married? That's what I'm saying. The airline going to see her coming and be like, baby, you need to be flying cargo. Cargo? No, I'm gonna play. She got me under there. Jesus Christ, 800.
Starting point is 00:54:34 With the big suitcases. 585-105-1. We're in Breakfast Club Court right now. Are you signing with the Lyft driver or Big Dank? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking, we're in Breakfast Club court right now. Now if you haven't heard, Big Dank is a rapper, female rapper out of Detroit. She called the Uber and the Uber turned it down since she was too big.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Let's listen. What you're saying? Yeah, I got no space in my car. My car is small. I can fit in this car. But believe me, it's small. Yeah, I can fit in this car. But too big. Let's listen. Well then Big Dink responded with this first of all Let's touch bases on a big in the bag that got something to say about me I'm seeing a take a walk Cool like you only like one burger away from being my size like y'all Stop calling yourself a BBW cuz you not other BBWs don't put other BBWs down
Starting point is 00:56:00 I never contacted this then you're talking about talking about oh she posted a video for cloud and da da da. I am the f**king cloud. I've been doing this s**t a long time. I posted this video because y'all got us f**ked up. Y'all always trying to put big people in a f**king category. Y'all want us to be in a f**king house. Miserable. Bored. I am a big person s**t advocate and I'm not the only person that they did that s**t to. I'm just the only person that's gonna stand up. Why the fuck y'all don't have an option on the fucking app that say, are you of size or so that we can send you bigger cars? That shit humiliating.
Starting point is 00:56:35 So we're asking 800-585-1051, what are your thoughts? And as we say this, I see Big Mac. It's mid-sized Mac. He used to be Big Mac. He ain't big no more. I'm still big. You are still big. You look so sad now that you, like, just large. But you are losing a lot of weight.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Congratulations. Absolutely. Cocaine. It helps. I love it. Do what you got to do. I'm not judging. Who you side with, Mac?
Starting point is 00:57:00 Seriously. SuperSize. What? Who's that? You said what side? Yes. Not SuperSize. We asked what side. Yes, I super size we asked with sign between between big size
Starting point is 00:57:09 They should have uber should have seen it was left lift uber door dash Whatever it is. They should have saw her and ordered the XXL for her. No, she should I've squeezed into Prius. I've squeezed into the little cars, you just gotta think thin. And what did the driver say when you got in? And how did you get out? I had to tip him. Pause a little extra, I felt bad. I think you just pay for three people.
Starting point is 00:57:33 No. That's a pool. This is an over pool. Yeah it is. If you're certain size, you a pool by yourself. That's right. In real life, all they gotta do is they gotta move the front seat up a little bit so then you Could turn to the side so that your body is this way so you'll have more room. So now I gotta be uncomfortable because you too big
Starting point is 00:57:50 You in the driver's seat the passenger seat got to move up you move it up. It don't go that far, bruh bruh It do- listen I've lived this life y'all are just y'all are outsiders watching. All right, what kind of car do you drive? Do I drive? I got a SUV, I had to. I got a SUV! Exactly. What kind? I got a Kia, a Telluride. Like the one the hamsters drive? Do I drive? I got a SUV. I had to. I got a SUV. What kind? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:58:08 What kind? I got a Kia. I'll tell you right. Like the one the hamsters drive? No, no, no. The hamster drive? Hell no. You a big ass hamster?
Starting point is 00:58:16 What the hell? The hamster drive? I can't stand it. Hey, yo. All right. Let's go to the full line. Y'all out loud crazy. You a heavy hamster.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Heavy on the ham Will you sign away the lift driver or big day brother I'm sad with big day why I think it's a skinny slope No pun intended that people got to be very careful when they start discriminating Because as a former fat chamber and I've evolved and grown and matured They got to recognize it once you start discriminating against white, what's going to stop somebody was saying, Hey, I don't pick up blacks. I don't pick up because of your gender or because of how you're dressed. So when you start doing that, even though it doesn't seem like it's the same thing, what's going to stop them from discriminating against everything else?
Starting point is 00:58:58 All right. So I want to hear, here go to big back brigade with they pitchforks and they protest. I guess what Charlamagne is about to say, being black is not a choice. Your gender is not a choice. Being 500, 600 pounds, that's a choice. Now there might have been circumstances that caused you to get to that weight, but staying at that weight is on you.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Cash. Hey Cash, good morning. Oh, you sided with Big Dank or the lift driver, mama? And at that weight is on you. Yeah. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Cash. Hey, Cash. Good morning. Oh, you sided with Big Dank or the Lyft driver, mama? Big Dank all the way.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Why? Because she's big. Well, Shawn, you know you don't like big people. That is not true. Dude, he don't like no big people. That is true. You can't stand big people. It's been years and years.
Starting point is 00:59:41 That's right. But here's how I say it. When you use your personal vehicle for a corporation as big as Lyft, you have to follow their rules. Lyft is a corporation and they've already released a statement saying that they condemn all forms of discrimination. You can't tell this woman that she's too big to get in your car unless it's written somewhere in the app saying the driver reserves the right to say that you can't get in because of your weight.
Starting point is 01:00:15 That's not gonna happen, so she's gonna get paid. And the fact that it's picking up this thing just makes her case even better. Well, if she gets paid, salute to her. But imagine a question, imagine you in the Caribbean, right she gets paid salute to her, but imagine a question. Imagine you in the Caribbean, right? You in the Caribbean and like you're doing a little island hopping and you know how they got
Starting point is 01:00:29 some little ass planes, like the little planes that go flying. Propeller planes that go flying. Little propeller planes. If the person on a propeller plane see you coming and you five, six hundred pounds and they be like, look, we can't allow you to eat on her. I'm not gonna allow her.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Because you're too heavy. Right. Is that plane wrong? Well, Charlamagne, you're changing the goalposts because when it's a weight issue, you being in the air, yeah, the plane could have a problem because they have weight limits. We're talking about a little Mercedes that he's driving up the street. Cars have weight limits too? That car is not gonna fall out of the sky.
Starting point is 01:01:00 But it can drag. People just like to put more air in the tires maybe, but if you take the emotion out of the sky. But it can drag. People just like to put more air in the tires maybe but if you take the emotion out of it. No really if you take the emotion out of it it's black and white. No but Cash. He's driving for a corporation you can't just make up your own room. I agree with you but I want y'all to take the emotion out of it too and just look at this person he wasn't being a big bag big a big at a big back no he wasn't he was just simply thinking to himself man I don't know if this if I put this woman in my car it might mess my tires up I messed my shocks up might miss my suspension up he didn't sound like a mean guy like he was trying to be nasty he was just like look I can't about your car don't drive it for a car sharing service it's like driving a taxi and getting mad because you only want certain things in your taxi car.
Starting point is 01:01:48 No, you're driving people around. Thank you, Cas. Listen, and by the way, I don't hate big people at all. I just love fat jokes, there's a difference. Yeah, whatever. There's a difference, no, there really is. There's a difference. I don't have a problem with big people
Starting point is 01:02:02 in no way, shape, or form. I just like fat jokes. The problem is that man knows his car, right? We've been in ubers before we've been in taxi cars with it It feels like it's gonna break down right we've been in those type of vehicles So if he knows his car can't handle it you said I can't put her in there because it's gonna be a He said just call another car my tires are tired my actual cricket axle cr- it like, so it's going to break. You know what I'm saying? He already was telling him.
Starting point is 01:02:27 My tires are tired as well. And we gotta stop acting like everything is discrimination, right? Sometimes things are just a matter of comfort. If I'm sitting on a plane, and you see the big person walk on the plane, you thinking to yourself, please don't have this person sitting next to me.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Yeah. Not because the person is fat, but because you know that you're going to be uncomfortable. Exactly. Just like saying somebody with a baby. Or somebody, you know what I'm saying? Like, please don't, cause this baby's're gonna be uncomfortable. Exactly just like saying somebody with a baby or somebody you know I'm saying like please don't cuz baby gonna be screaming. That's right. It's all about my preference and how comfortable I want to be. That's facts but even even on a plane you know they do sometimes they put people on other sides of the plane depending on weight right you know I
Starting point is 01:02:58 don't know if you ever seen that before they be like excuse me we need you to sit on this side of the plane because they gotta back.. That's the whole spirit. That was getting the hell out of me. I ain't never seen that. I ain't never seen that. All right. I'm not saying you're wrong. I just never see that. And also when you get to the airport, they weigh your bag for a reason.
Starting point is 01:03:13 They want to know how heavy your bag is. So if you think- They don't weigh you though. Because they can't. They want to. Trust me, they want to. They've been wanting to do this forever, but because of people like this woman that want to make a scene about everything, okay in the plane crash report is it?
Starting point is 01:03:29 All right, the big thing though god bless you You should be putting out some music if you a rapper you put these views We should have brought big thing Should have brought big thing come here to talk about it Not at all this this crazy she might make a couple videos about us too. By the way, there's nothing wrong with that though. If this leads to her rap career taking off or her getting, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:03:53 If you're getting all this attention, turn it into something. You a rapper, like, you know, make that- Maybe that is the goal. Yes, this could be your big break. I'm so sick of hearing men talk about women's basketball. If only there were a professional WNBA player with her own podcast I could listen to.

Starting point is 01:11:03 Another one? Yeah, it's more. They got more. So yeah, they dropped three episodes last night. And I told y'all we weren't what we're gonna leave it alone. But it was some stuff in this last this these couple episodes. So first things first, right? They have a bunch of people. This is like where everybody realizes like, oh my god, he's such a horrible person, allegedly. So they have an ex girlfriend of his her name is a cat pays on. I think I'm saying the name right cat pays on and she talks about a moment on a boat when they were dating where the R. Kelly stuff
Starting point is 01:11:28 was happening back in 2019. And they're watching it together and his response to that. And it made her like wake up. Let's take a listen. I remember one time it was the beginning of 2019 and we were in the Bahamas on a yacht and the R. Kelly documentary had come out. He came into the room to watch a little bit.
Starting point is 01:11:48 He's walking out of the room and he says, there's a little bit of R. Kelly in all of us and then walks out the door. I remember being like, what? There is not a little bit of R. Kelly in all of us, but I wasn't absorbing really the severity of that statement until later. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:12:12 What you looking at, Ashy Lips? Showing me what, what's your thoughts? I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what the hell did he mean by that? I'm showing up and we're all thinking. No, so she says that in that moment, I mean she mentioned it, but she goes on in the dark to basically say like Now looking back at that. She's like, whoa
Starting point is 01:12:29 Right. So then there is a ex-assistant of his that is Kelly might have really never mind. I'm about to say something crazy I'll just go tell you I know it's right there to it want to come out We really might be a little bit of R. Kelly and Diddy. That's all I'm saying. Oh, I mean that. Yeah, but he said everybody. Just because he's in the ham. Don't try to put it on all of us.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Yeah, black people like when we say, y'all. I am not y'all. Now, before I go to the ex-executive assistant, I want y'all to listen to, you had talked about victims being involved, and Little Rod, Rodney, who- The producer. The producer, who said that he worked with Diddy and all this stuff happened. He was in the first couple episodes, but he didn't really say too much. This third documentary episode. Let's hear it. Oh he dropped a lot of tea. Let's take a listen to
Starting point is 01:13:11 Lil Rod. We were at Puffy's Los Angeles house working in the studio. He says I want to work in my bathroom. Everybody bring everything. So we break down the studio, get the instruments, and go to his bathroom as usual. And he strips himself in front of us and jumps right into the shower. He's looking directly at me You know me I felt myself Getting a pat on my butt felt uncomfortable and still feels uncomfortable What? Yeah, so he said you know Puff's creative juices seem to flow better in the shower allegedly. Don't say creative juices.
Starting point is 01:13:50 And so he said yo come and do the setup in the shower it was a mobile setup they broke down set back up in the shower and you know the steam and the things were flowing as well as the music and Puff's eyes they locked eyes and right at him the whole time. How you patting the butt from the shower though? That's what I just said! No, that was somebody else. I don't know. It had to be somebody else or maybe it was a time lapse and things just happened fast because that was a lot to take in, you know what I mean? Like you watching this grown man shower.
Starting point is 01:14:12 But, but, so this is- Don't say but, don't say but. Right, okay, however. However, calm down. This is supposed to, he's on the documentary and he's like, like we are, this is sad, like this is like woo yeah no no yeah no was he high or was he drunk who little rod so he so he said he said that in that in that moment
Starting point is 01:14:35 no but he does okay he does talk about times though where where because he talked about this is a lawsuit too where he felt he said he feels like or alleged he was drugged because he woke up with a sex worker in his bed couldn't really understand what happened. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm talking about before we get there. Because when you felt the pet on your butt, and you went in the bathroom, like you went in the bathroom and you know, I don't understand why you could be like, No, I'm not doing it. Exactly. I wouldn't I'm not in the bathroom.
Starting point is 01:15:00 If they say you'll bring everything in the bathroom to produce I'm like, nah I'm not doing that. And then people skipping over the fact that he said as usual, like this was something usual Diddy did. Come on y'all, I'll record me, take a shower. But you can see what a manipulation may come into play, because what if Diddy tell you oh this is how I made 112 album, or this is how I made Faith Evans album, like what if he's really gassing these kids and telling him this is how I made all of this great stuff. You call them. That can happen. Little Ryde is gonna call Mary like hey it's Lil Ryde. Heaven's album like what if he's really And it got to a point where he didn't even get paid. He produced a lot of stuff on the Love Album, didn't even get paid for it. So it gave me the gist that he was just excited
Starting point is 01:15:48 to be working with the man, the myth, the legend, Puff Daddy, right? I mean, we're very nor'less though, he said that, but all right. What happened after the shower though? That's how it ended? He got out, he probably got a towel. No, what did Rod say happened?
Starting point is 01:16:00 How did that story end? You can't say probably. How did that session end? Charlamagne wants to hear after the butt tap Woke up with but that was a whole whole time in there it in a shower. He was sober He only alleged being drugged when he woke up with the sex worker I'm trying to remember what he said a song get me
Starting point is 01:16:20 They did that there was a lot of album which was great music after that shower session, it was a song made they were actually they were producing music. That's what I'm asking. Yes, the love album came about. He said he wasn't paid for the love album at all to this day. But the love album happened and he worked with Diddy. He was a producer. Now there is one other thing that I want to get to as well with this. So Phil Pines, who's an ex senior executive assistant for Diddy, he worked with Puff from December 2019 to December 2021. He detailed what these parties would be like that they called the King Knights, aka the Freak Off. Let's take a listen. Were the wild King Knights happening at these big star studded events? I think there's a difference and a disparity between what people think they were, meaning that there was hundreds of people engaging in these activities. That wasn't my experience.
Starting point is 01:17:10 How many people would typically be there? It's a small batch of people. What would he require for a Wild King night? I mean, we usually had a laundry list of items that included lights, alcohol, marijuana, ketamine, moly. Baby oil and astraglycerin were very important. Candles, incense, Apple TVs, electronics, computers, iPads, male libido supplements, stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Those requests started to become more frequent. They started to occur on a daily basis. Did he say as glider or am I hearing things? Tsk. Oh, he said a whole bunch of things. I thought glider or am I hearing things? Tsk. Oh, he said a whole bunch of things. I thought he said big glider. It's a lot of stuff. You so mad you ain't getting invited to that kick night
Starting point is 01:17:49 with a bunch of queens? No, I'm not, did not. No, but he also, he also talks about that he would get a lot of voice notes from Puff, right, during this time, because Puff will be hitting him on a voice note, requesting different things. Let's take a listen to that. Phil, can you come back upstairs
Starting point is 01:18:04 to help me set up the red light? I would get a lot of voice notes from Diddy. How often? Daily. Phil, I need some Cialis. Can you give me 20 Xanax please? Hey Phil, I need a Plan B. I need 10 out of a whole. The mushroom capsules, the micro dose. Bring it out to me please. Jesus! Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I had to look up Cialis, I didn't know what that was. It's like Viagra. Jesus I didn't know what that was. It's like Viagra. Yeah, but Yeah, really big No, I'm saying that's not I mean shrooms Michael does all that like that sound like a regular night in LA Oh not even in LA down the street in New York like wherever like people do shrooms people do you know? I really am I really can't stop won't stop Not even in LA down the street in New York like wherever like people do shrooms people do you know? I really can't stop won't stop. That's all I get from this. It's just like it needs to be like he was other evidence Extra horny all the time. Yeah, I think Somebody this horny Never seen nobody like what no you've seen this somebody this horny
Starting point is 01:19:01 What was it like saying like y'all don't know people that do that. Like, make calls, yo, let me get some Cialis, let me get somebody, yo. This is, to me, this is a normal LA party. Just you right, but this is chapter 100. And every single chapter is freaky, freaky, freaky, horny, horny, horny, horny. When was he not freaky and horny? When was he ever off? But the freaky and horny part is not against the law. He could be as freaky and horny as he wants. It's where he applied the horny and freaky and horny. When was he ever off? But the freaky horny part is not against the law.
Starting point is 01:19:25 He could be as freaky and horny as he wants. It's where he applied the horny and freaky. It's where he applied the horny and freaky. Because Phil Pines also said that he would do stuff like make them prove their loyalty to him, make them sleep with different people. Like that's a lie. When somebody don't want to do something. What you mean? He said what? Not with like other men,
Starting point is 01:19:40 but the executive assistant said that he would make him like do things for other women. Made them walk the Brooklyn for cheeks. That's what I was told. made them walk the book for cheeks That's what I was told made him walk the book for cheeks. Oh And and nobody decided to walk home Like with that they went you ever been to puff out that walk is crazy. Why would you ever ask me that? Crazy it's like barely even a highway. I'm saying everybody's complaining when he used to make us walk Why you walk home? after what they experienced
Starting point is 01:20:15 Right, I'm just saying I wonder why he would leave them voice notes though, cuz that's not he's up to him to decide you choose that you could sit That's a setting in your phone. No, no did he had to leave them voice notes? Yeah, but I know he like dang I chose the wrong people. I'm tired of talking about this You know why I'm tired of talking about this cuz you want it No, cuz a lot of this stuff is really funny and we Know that's been traumatic things that have happened to people but some of this stuff is really hilarious. Yeah, okay. Yeah, really hilarious Thank you
Starting point is 01:20:55 Imagine somebody in a shower. You always feel a pat on your ass You're not sweating on my edges for me to look at you in the shot like I'm not going in there But let's go. Why you looking at me like that man? Did you go to commercial? Who you giving your donkey to? Well after the hour we need Georgia representative Rich McCormick to come in front of the congregation. Would you like that award with him please? Alright. Donkey the day's up next.
Starting point is 01:21:14 I hate this place. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community
Starting point is 01:21:28 Yes, you are a donkey the latest on that police killing of a black man Now the new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage I mean, it's a really bad day for him and this is what he did And so we are in a state of emergency Okay, white supremacist violence is it always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. It's at the Breakfast Club, bitches! All right, Charmaine, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day?
Starting point is 01:21:57 Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, January 29th goes to Georgia Representative Rich McCormick. He is a Republican who was on CNN yesterday defending Trump's federal aid freeze on school lunch programs. Now I don't know about y'all but I grew up on school lunch programs. Okay during the school year and at summertime my grandmother was a lunch lady at R.A. Ready Intermediate School in Montecone South Carolina. Drop on the clues bomb for R.A. Ready Intermediate School. Okay so sometimes she would bring those lunches home and I'm gonna tell you something I remember one kid in fourth grade who was so poor mind you none of us came from any money
Starting point is 01:22:28 But he had it worse than a lot of us that school lunch program was the only time That young brother used to eat throughout the whole day And I remember we had an evil mean ass teacher named miss Freeman that woman used to punish that young man by telling him He couldn't eat lunch and I'll never forget the pain in that young man's face when she used to do that to him. People are really really cruel and that's what we are seeing from folks like Rich McCormick. Okay not only does he agree with the federal aid freeze on school lunch programs he says that kids should be working instead of receiving free lunch. Let's go to CNN, Pamela Brown for the report please.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Would you support getting rid of school lunch for vulnerable kids and breakfast and Head Start? Do you support that and what do you say to your constituents? When you talk about school lunches, hey, I work my way through high school. I know about you, but I worked since I was, before I was even 13 years old, I was picking berries in the field
Starting point is 01:23:24 before I had child labor laws that precluded that. I was before I was even 13 years old. I was picking berries in the field before I had child labor laws That precluded that I was a paperboy And when I was in high school, I worked my entire way through you're telling me that kids who stay at home Instead of going to work at Burger King McDonald's during the summer should stay at home and get their free lunch instead of going to work I think we need to have a top-down review I would say that's not necessarily a fair assessment of all of the kids. So you would say all the kids in your district who use the free lunch, for example, or breakfast, they're all just sitting at home and not working.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Okay, I just want to clarify because that seems like what you were trying to insinuate. This gives us a chance, though, to see where is the money really being spent. How many people got their start in fast food restaurants when they were kids versus just giving a blanket rule that gives all kids lunches in high school who are capable of going out and actually getting a job and doing something that makes them have value thinking about their future instead of thinking about how they're gonna sponge off the government. Okay you want high school kids to get a job what about elementary school? What about middle school kids?
Starting point is 01:24:27 Let me tell you something, man, that you already probably know. America does not give a damn about poor people. I mean, they could care less. When I first heard this story, I thought to myself, does Rich McCormick know that they're a poor white, you know, kids that he'll be depriving as well? Because you know, blackness is just my default setting. So I just assume this is happening because of race,
Starting point is 01:24:43 because growing up, I was a black kid who benefited from school lunch programs. But no, guys like Rich McCormick don't give a damn about color. They don't give a damn about race. They don't give a damn about poor people, period. Okay, it's all a matter of class. But I just wanted to tell folks like Rich McCormick, because the Trump administration is ahead of schedule,
Starting point is 01:25:04 on ruining the economy, by the way. Now I wanna say because the Trump administration is ahead of schedule on ruining the economy by the way. Now I want to say something but they are ahead of schedule. See I've told y'all before that the economy since World War II does better when it's the Democrat in the White House. And this isn't about party affiliation because I'm an independent. I'm just dealing with facts. There have been 11 recessions in this country. 10 of them have been Republican led.
Starting point is 01:25:21 So I'm already anticipating that for this administration. Say what you want. Democrats create jobs, Democrats at least attempt to expand the middle class and scream for the economy. Okay. I understand that a lot of folks don't always feel that in their pocket. So it's hard for people to believe that I get it. Well let's be clear.
Starting point is 01:25:35 This capitalist society we live in doesn't matter who's in charge. Okay. Republicans and Democrats because the gap between the haves and have nots is so wide. Okay. The wealth inequality in this country is so great that what they are currently implementing by attempting to order this federal spending freeze, you stop in Medicaid, school breakfast lunch programs, Section 8 rental assistance, the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and kids, farm credits, the VA, the SBA, defense contracts, anything that provides people with financial relief, they trying to put a freeze on.
Starting point is 01:26:12 Rich McCormick, if the have-nots, the poor, if they hungry and can't give food, what you think they gonna eat? Not your literal ass, I mean, figuratively, as in eat to rich. Okay? Let me give you a reminder from the late great Tupac Shakur on what happens when a country doesn't take care of the least of us. If I know that in this hotel room they have food every day and I'm knocking the door every day to eat and they tell me, open the door, let me see the party Let me see like they'm throwing salami all over that. I mean just like throwing food around. We're telling me There's no food in here. You know I'm saying every day. I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in you know I'm saying We are hungry. Please let us in we are
Starting point is 01:26:58 Please let us in after about a week that song is gonna change the we hungry We need some food after two three three weeks it's like, you know Give me all the food, I'm breaking down the door After a year, you just like, you know what I'm saying I'm picking the lock, coming through the door blasting You know what I'm saying? It's like you hungry, you reached your level You don't want anymore
Starting point is 01:27:17 We asked ten years ago We was asking with the Panthers We was asking with them, you know With civil rights movement We was asking, you know Now those people that were asking They're all dead and in jail. So now what do you think we're gonna do? It's only a matter of time, okay Rich McCormick, this is how I know folks like yourself. Y'all don't really believe in Christ
Starting point is 01:27:37 Y'all don't really believe in Christ cuz Matthew 25 40 talks about taking care of the least of us All right talks about taking care of the least of us. All right? Talks about taking care of the least of us. It says, truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. This just means that by caring for those who are most vulnerable, are marginalized, you are serving Jesus himself.
Starting point is 01:27:58 That's not what you doing, Rich McCormick. Please give that man the biggest he-huh. Ah! Ah! All right. Well, thank you for that, Don, for today. Now, when we come back, Ashley Allison will be joining us. She's from CNN. She was part of the Obama Biden administration, also the Biden-Harris administration. So we're going to talk to Ashley when we come back. All right?
Starting point is 01:28:19 So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Starting point is 01:28:34 Yes indeed. We have Ashley Allison. Welcome. Yes. Hi. How are you feeling this morning? Well, that's a hard question. Nine days into Donald Trump's America, but- Don't let it stress you out. You can't think about it every day. You got to remember your serenity prayer. Okay. That's a hard question, nine days into Donald Trump's America, but. Don't let it stress you out. You can't think about it every day. You got to remember your serenity prayer.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Okay, that's a word. No, you know, yeah, I'm good, but it's a lot on my mind right now. Can we go back a little bit and find out who Ashley Allison is and how you jumped into politics? So let's start off from what got you into politics? I led my first protest when I was in the second grade. Second grade? Wow. What was it all about?
Starting point is 01:29:07 Damn. So I'm lactose intolerant. Me too. And most of us are. Most people in the world are lactose intolerant so we should change that name. And the nuns at my school used to make us drink the milk. You went Catholic school? Yes. I'm not Catholic but went to Catholic school.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Most of us did. Yes. And I used to get sick every day after lunch. Wow. Every day. And they used to say it's because I didn't like math. Now, I don't like math and I'm not good at math, but I didn't make myself sick. And so the first was like, let me drink juice at lunch and not.
Starting point is 01:29:41 And so it was just like when something doesn't make sense, do something about it, change it, fix it. And then my parents raised me like knocking on doors when I was a little kid, canvassing for candidates for city council. And then I just am someone like when I see something that is not right, it just agitates my spirit. That's why you like don't let it stress you out. It's like part of who I am. I cannot see something that is wrong and not say something. And I feel like Obama came through and I was like, oh, how do you work on a campaign? I was teaching at Boys and Girls High School actually
Starting point is 01:30:12 at the time when Obama ran for president. And my students were engaged by him in a way I had never seen and I was like, I wanna work on his campaign. And it was kinda like all she wrote. Do you think we'll ever see that again? Do you ever think we'll see, cause he's a once inin-a-lifetime
Starting point is 01:30:26 Lifetime generation leader and so is Donald Trump. Yes. That's a fact I've only seen three of my lifetime like that Clinton Obama and Trump. Yeah, I don't know I don't honestly I don't know if we need a once-in-a-lifetime Generational leader. I just think we need good leaders. Mm-hmm I think that the celebrity of it all is part of the problem is like, I want somebody who cares about the quality of everybody's life and wants everybody's life to be better. I don't need you to be a reality show star. I don't need you to be super famous. I don't even need to really want to have dinner with you. Right. Honestly, I just need you to know what you're doing and want to help people and get this country in a better place. So, probably not. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:05 I know you said it stresses a bit part of your job and you don't mind. You don't care. You're going to keep telling the truth, you know, because that's your job. Do that. But have you ever had a tipping point like, all right, I'm not about to be doing this no more, like throwing a towel type.
Starting point is 01:31:20 Yeah. So, okay. I'm a big yogi. I've been doing yoga for 25 years. So I'm always breathing. I'm always staying yogi. I've been doing yoga for 25 years. So I'm always breathing I'm always staying grounded connected like feet on the ground making sure you're not gonna catch me on my balance the thing about Why this moment? I'm okay with it is because eight years ago the first time you got elected It almost took me out. Hmm, like I was leaving the White House the relationship I was in and it I felt like my whole identity,
Starting point is 01:31:46 I closed the White House down, right? I had no job, my money was real funny because you know, we don't make a lot of money in the government. And I was like, what do I do? And for six months, I was just kind of like, I was in a depression. I was in a, I almost hit rock bottom.
Starting point is 01:32:00 And every day since then, I was in therapy. You know, I did a lot of the self work. I got my practices back together. And every day since then I was in therapy, you know, I did a lot of the self-work I got my practices back together and every day since then I've been building for this moment So it's not gonna I'm not gonna get to the point where I like I can't do this anymore Cuz I'm never gonna let somebody else take that much power away from me, you know, did you ex-vote for Trump? I don't know I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:22 My mom is listening so I can't say what I was about to say. But. I'm talking to that mother. Exactly. Listen, you said something that's very interesting about democracy, right? And I agree with everything you said. But I was watching Jon Stewart last night
Starting point is 01:32:34 and he presented a good point. He said that, you know, the thing that we need to remember about Trump is this is democracy. Because he was voted in. Yeah. And he has control of all branches of government now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:47 So the things he's doing, we may not like it, but under the constitution, he has the right to do it. Well, not all things. The constitution still exists for a reason, right? So you can sign an executive order, but democracy, we still have three branches of our government, right? So you can sign an executive order and the courts are actually supposed to be a checks and balances, right?
Starting point is 01:33:09 So if it goes all the way up to the Supreme Court and the court says, no, Donald Trump can't then just override it, right? That's his too. Well, that's the problem, right? That's the problem with is that we were supposed to have all these checks and balances. I think the thing that's on the front of my mind is this 14th amendment around birthright citizenship. And I'm like, y'all better wake up because this is not about birthright citizenship. This is about being able to discriminate against
Starting point is 01:33:32 all of us because of equal protection. Break that down. Okay. So I think almost every legal scholar, except for like the five that Donald Trump is going to find to bring this case have said that birthright citizenship is in the Constitution and is not a thing. But he still on day one signed an executive order. He even said in his interview behind the Resolute Desk that, I don't know if this is going to work, but we're going to try it out.
Starting point is 01:33:57 So he's trying to press the levers of democracy to see. But the 14th Amendment also is the amendment that prevents from you to be able to be discriminated. It gives all rights to Americans in this country. So black, brown, women, straight, gay, and it's bigger than just birthright citizenship. And so because immigration is such a big topic right now, they are introducing the fight through that lens as a foil almost, as a distraction, so that you focus on that and not on really what they're doing. And if you take one piece of the Constitution away, then it start again a
Starting point is 01:34:35 thousand little cuts. It's a cut. And so they're trying to, they're trying to knock it down. So that's why I'm like, don't get distracted y'all. Don't be in the spirit. Pay attention, you know? Like eight years ago was when Stay Woke, we made it like the thing that people said again, and then they turned it on us. It's like, no, like, wake up, you know? It's like Spike Lee when he's like, wake up! You know, it's like, this is happening in front of our face,
Starting point is 01:34:57 and now is not the time to sit on a couch and be like, eh, not my fight. Scoot me on this too, cause they say, they're saying that his plan to end birthright citizenship is like Dred Scott too. Do you think so? Well I think I don't know I haven't heard them people articulate that argument so I want to hear a little bit more again I don't like to just say something because yeah just sound like the smartest person in the room but there's an article in the New York Times. Okay I think that the question is is that a lot of people birthright citizenship they said it was brought through to give black people black and safe people the right of citizenship, but it's not just about black people
Starting point is 01:35:31 It's about all people again. I think that every legal salt scholar Republican conservative even Scalia most of his clerks most of people who are Scalia or like who and Scalia is one of the most conservative who are Scaliaites or like who in Scalia is one of the most conservative Supreme Court justices we've ever had say that it shouldn't be able to pass a legal muster. I don't even know if the Supreme Court will hear the case, but we will find out. But again, that's the distraction over there because today he just stopped federal funding on programs like SNAP. He rolled out that federal funding and grants need to be halted. Now that means monies that go to cancer nonprofits,
Starting point is 01:36:12 all nonprofits, veteran services, and so again, it happens in the middle of the night, you know, stop. Now today, watch, you're gonna do some wild stuff. To distract everybody from that. To distract everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't focus on the distraction,
Starting point is 01:36:26 focus on the trick they trying to play on you. So we're right now, people are looking at it, looking at lawsuits, looking at litigation that they can file to halt this. You know, I woke up to a text from my cousin and was like, who literally just had a baby yesterday. And she was like, section eight, my SNAP benefits. She runs a real estate thing and she's like,
Starting point is 01:36:46 my tenants are Section 8, are they gonna be able to pay? Am I gonna be able to, like, this is real life. You know what I mean? Like I'm on CNN, but this is, that's my first cousin that I'm talking about here that is like, what's happening? And to be told, a lot of people who voted for Donald Trump are gonna now face that consequence as well.
Starting point is 01:37:03 He is a master performer and executor of a show and he is putting on a show right now, but I wanna see the credits. All right, we got more with Ashley Allison from CNN. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NVHS Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:37:24 We're still kicking it with Ashley Allison from CNN now We always talk about the problems, but what are the solutions? What can people do to you know to try to stop this or to try to curve it? Like what can people do because a lot of people listening and like we know the problems Yeah, we know we got to deal with the next four years. We see it happen in the last eight nine days But what can we do to stop it? What's the solution? Yeah, I think being in community is the most important thing, right? Like sitting by yourself and spiraling and doing scrolling. One of the things that the coolest thing that is happening
Starting point is 01:37:52 right now, y'all following Hillman talk on TikTok? Okay, so this is why I love black women. Like we are the 92% supposed to be sitting down chilling and we done created a whole HBCU online on TikTok in the last seven days. So a black professor, she put a video out about African-American studies class for her 36 students. It is now a place where 20 plus PhDs, all black folks teaching African-American studies, teaching the art of resistance, teaching economic power. That's self organizing, right?
Starting point is 01:38:23 I think right now one of the things we have, our people have been through many, many things. And one of the best things you can do right now is to educate yourself on how to sustain oppression. You're saying Dr. Barlow is his name. Dr. Barlow, yes. Yes. And so they're educating us on forms of resistance. So you don't just sit and say like, well, how did the civil rights movement survive? How did we get the the civil rights act like that did not happen overnight? We tell that a lot of times our country tells that black during black history month if they even tell that story
Starting point is 01:38:53 That was like a 15 year struggle just to get that one piece of legislation So find yourself in community and educate yourself, you know, I'm not gonna take a stance on the boycotts right now But I do think our economic collective buying power is very important There's a lot of conversation about boycotting companies who are getting rid of DEI I think boycotts are hard but boycotts can be used strategically and if we as a community Really put some strategy behind it. It could be effective while we're still helping black businesses and entrepreneurs Thrive and then I think we got to have some tough conversations. Can Trump go for a third term and how could he make that happen?
Starting point is 01:39:30 No, and he is turned out. Everything has context. Everything has context. There is the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution. There's currently a piece of legislation that has been introduced that would allow any president to run for a third term. Now you say, how do we make sure these things don't become law? Well, you can, you can amend the constitution. It is extremely hard to amend the constitution. I think you need-
Starting point is 01:39:57 Not when you Trump. Not when you got that political white supremacist will. Right. So when you talk about how you make sure these things don't become law, that's what I'm talking about. Like you, That should never even see the light of day. Now, truth be told, if Trump can run for a third term, so can Obama, so can Clinton, so can all the other presidents that are alive that they will. But currently now in the Constitution, Trump could not run for a third term. But the problem with that is they're not going to use that power when they get it. That's what pisses me off about Democrats.
Starting point is 01:40:27 That's why I stay on Democrats and that they're not going to use the power even if they get it. They want to do everything. They want all these political norms when things have not been politically normal since 2016. I agree. We are in a new normal and we have to recalibrate to that new normal. Like we are not operating, that's why when, you know, my famous line is when they go low, I match energy. Like I'm not, that's my thing.
Starting point is 01:40:54 Like I don't, I don't stay high. Are you mad Michelle hasn't said anything yet? Cause the reason I say that is cause Michelle kind of set the tone, right? When she said when they go low, we go high, but then she decided to not even go at all. Not to the federal, not to the inauguration. I think she's sometimes actions speak louder than words.
Starting point is 01:41:09 Do you feel like Obama shouldn't should have set out of the inauguration or at least not have been cracking jokes behind comedy? I was like what is happening you know. I understand why he went. I don't. I know you don't. He wasn't to the inauguration. But I will say I don't think I would have been there. But that's why I'll probably never run for office because I match energy. You know what I'm saying? Like that's not how I rock. I understand why Democrats felt like it was important to go. Here's what I will say. I think that because they went, you can't just then disappear. You have to provide context to people who you were ringing the five alarm fire to about why you went.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Because I think, you know, you know, you have a massive platform, right? And so you do stay on Democrats. I think you also stay on Republicans. And I think though, sometimes people, you know how social media works, people take a clip and flip it and put it out there. Oh, we've seen it in a bunch of Trump commercials. Yeah, right. Them too.
Starting point is 01:42:07 Them too. And so you always just want to make sure people can't use your words against you, people can't use your actions against you, particularly when you're the first, like a President Obama. So I think that you probably will hear more from him about why he felt it was important for him to show up
Starting point is 01:42:22 and be the bigger person, but I think you also then have to still hold Trump accountable. Like, I would not be up there kee keeing with Donald Trump, though. I don't know what they were saying. Even if I was just sitting there chilling, I don't know what they were saying. But I got questions, sir. What stories do you want to tell with Watering Hole Media that you're the CEO of? Oh, yeah, you know, I actually started in 2009 during Obama
Starting point is 01:42:42 because I saw this wave of social media. I want to give people and democratize, democratize microphones. You know, there are a lot of creators out there who do amazing things. I start I restarted watering hole after the infamous Montgomery uprising with the folding chair. Right. And I'll tell the story in 24 hours. I saw the trajectory of that story change in the morning. I saw news media outlets starting to cover it with a hint of vigilantism and
Starting point is 01:43:09 whatnot. And I saw Black Twitter activate, the creators activate, and we turned a moment that could have been very dangerous for Black people and a really sad outcome. We brought joy to it. We brought a strong political analysis to it. And by the end of that night, the story was being told So I'm saying how do I take how do I find those talented people and give them a platform? Give them money to do that that I think is how we make sure it's some things like that Don't become laws because we tell we have good messengers. We have good storytellers
Starting point is 01:43:39 I want to go at politics not through like well your snap benefits and did it It's like no, let's talk about how it it really is impacting you and get you to be more engaged. So I think there's a lot of opportunity. I think Republicans did it really, really well. Everyone's like, we need our own Joe Rogan. No, we don't. No, we don't. We actually don't.
Starting point is 01:43:57 We need to empower people who know how to connect with real people and tell real stories and empower them just to do it. That's what we're doing there. And Joe Rogan exists. just go on Joe Rogan. Right, right. It's not like Joe Rogan doesn't want people from the left home. Again, don't try and copy, don't be a copycat, be an original.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Just find out who you are and we got you. Please know. I know. We got the black mothership, that's what we call the Breps Club, the black mothership. Come to the black mothership. Thank you for coming, Ashley. Thank you for having me.
Starting point is 01:44:22 I just wanted to say, Alison, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate you. You on tonight? You can check her on CNN. What time? I am. 10pm. Alright, well there you have it. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Ashley Allison. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess. News is real, brother.
Starting point is 01:44:44 Jess is just a robber more. Jess don't do no lying. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's time to set it on. Okay, Lauren. So Jim Jones was in Tokyo. Yep. He's in Tokyo with Kanye or Ye and Justin LaVoy. He's trying some new things out there. Okay. Let's take a listen. Okay. I ain't smoking five days. I've been around here bouncing like a kid, like I'm in high school. I definitely got that high school feeling.
Starting point is 01:45:25 My body is pure in a minute. I was in the club dancing last night for like 45 minutes straight. Sweating. I'm out. Yeah, so this is, you know, this happened after all of the Kim and Jim stuff that we had talked about and he went out there with Ye and he sat down with Justin LaBoy to do the interview or whatever. But I mean, first of all, I want to know what dances he was doing for 45 minutes.
Starting point is 01:45:46 It's number one. I can't imagine him dancing. Harlem. They only do two step. OK, because he gave me like a it's not the rocky hips on TikTok. It's not that he wasn't Harlem shaking. I'm sure he all he did was the two step. I would like to see what type of fashion collaboration come from Jim Jones and Yato. We are on our way to that.
Starting point is 01:46:01 So Jim, actually, he he announced while he was there prior to this video that he had been on the street while he was in New York and he was talking about like people having this like like hockey gear or whatever. And he picked it up and he talked about it. But he basically said like now he's going to make it like a brand of his own. And while he was in Tokyo with yay, he talked a lot about like being a student. So he posted a caption, there's a photo of Justin thing I forgot the photo another room. There's a photo adjusting the boy Kanye and Jim Jones and Jim captioned it we are here playing bully ball only Shot you don't make is a shot you don't take so y'all know what Kanye has a new project called bully coming So they're working on that but he says that he's actually a student and he's been a student for the past couple days that he's
Starting point is 01:46:43 Bout there with Kanye. He learned so much about, you know, different characters and just a bunch of different stuff. But there's a ton of clothing laying on the floor. Kanye is wearing a dip set belt, which is, you know, merch as well. So I'm assuming that they did have a conversation about merch because Jim did announce that he's going to be doing something officially when it comes to like some sort of merch as well too. So I'm sure he's taking all that in because Gigi just brought Kanye back. You know what I mean? So that music too, because I know Jim is working on his album. So I'm sure that he's doing production out there as well. Yeah. He said that Kanye's album was crazy. He told people don't drop because if y'all
Starting point is 01:47:14 drop at the same time as Kanye is going to be a big problem. So I'm assuming he's going to be on Bully as well too. And he said that, uh, yay is back to the real Billy goat pun intended. Okay. What's up? Yeah, so moving on, Bronny James. So LeBron James' son, Bronny James, got some smoke recently. People were not, they weren't impressed. They brought him up from the G League.
Starting point is 01:47:36 He played with the Lakers against the Sixers. And the Lakers lost. They lost one- It was the game last night, right? Yes. Bronny seemed like he was a little, he was just a little nervous. You know, you know, saying like he a little nervous.
Starting point is 01:47:48 That's what I get from him, because certain plays that where you expected them to like go in and do something crazy. You know, take it. You look like you want to be on one. Take it. You just play like you're a little, you know, a little nervous. No one's going to do it. I think, though, for for Bronte to be LeBron James' son. Of course, we always talk about this platform and the stage that people put him on, but because he's also still been playing in the
Starting point is 01:48:08 G League at the same time, it brings the conversation up of should he stay in the G League or should he get those shots to get on the NBA floor? Let's take a listen to JJ Reddick and what he said after the game about Bronny. Just felt like on a back to back, just him giving us energy, I think, was the goal. I maybe put him in a tough spot, flying up yesterday and nationally televised game and Billy, all that stuff. He didn't play well, but he's been playing great in the stay ready games and he's been playing great in the G. So I have confidence in him, but
Starting point is 01:48:44 obviously didn't provide that at a high level. He's been playing great in the G. So I have confidence in him, but obviously he didn't provide that at a high level. Bronny James isn't ready for the NBA right now. And everybody knew that when he got drafted. We just loved the story. We loved that Bron was able to make that happen for his child. Being able to play with his son. He'll develop over time.
Starting point is 01:49:03 The G League is there for him to get his reps in so he could get his games in And he's been doing amazing in the G League So that's what usually happens when you do good in the G League They pull you up when they need you and he just got to show him proof. He had a bad game people have bad games Ain't nothing wrong. Yeah, he gets cooked in there. Yeah, he played 15 minutes and then score no points I think they also had him up against some people that you know, I mean I cooked in the NBA It's okay Developing he gets cooked in the NBA Yeah, Tyrese maxi that wasn't a good that wasn't a good John that wasn't not a good situation for him at all
Starting point is 01:49:37 He will be all right, but without the basketball You don't got to do none of this honestly and he'd still be fine. Dream fulfilled already. Yeah but he want to play though. He does play but it's like so this is your son coming off the court. If you Lebron what advice do you he played but he didn't even score no points. I tell my son keep working. I tell him keep God first, stay humble and keep working but the dream has been fulfilled. The fact that he's dropping average in what 20 something points in the G League. The G League ain't no names. He's real good in the G League. Like the G League's the kids that's trying to get into the league so they're playing hard so the fact that he's balling in the G League he'll be all right. He scored a season high of 31 points in
Starting point is 01:50:15 that G League game. He played hard when he's in the NBA game. He just gets cooked. It's okay. He's playing against Tyrese Maxey. Him getting his stripes in. He's getting his reps up. I'm getting his stripes in Well, all right And play is gonna be going at his ass too because they want to prove something Yeah, you have to go through all the bumps and bruises Well speaking of games Super Bowl real quick. The Super Bowl dropped not the Super Bowl I'm sorry Don Julio and Popeyes had this collaboration at ATE's Don Julio and Popeyes exactly and that's what the people were saying like what is about to come and it's gonna be real N-worders
Starting point is 01:50:49 Zeus activity exactly. So they finally released what the collab was going to be. So it's a championship lineup They have Repersado flavored Louisiana garlic wings. They have a spicy strawberry hibiscus flavored lemonade They have Repersado flavored Contre Rol chicken sandwich. There's no Don Julio in none of this. There's no real drinks. This sounds suspicious. It sounds crazy. I don't like this in my neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:51:15 It's from the Super Bowl. And you know, Popeyes is a Louisiana thing, so they're leaning in right there. But I just feel like there should have been some drinks somewhere. Like, I don't get it. I'm stopping and frisking this whole can. Why?
Starting point is 01:51:24 It's crazy. Popeyes and tequila? Sounds I'm stopping and frisking this whole can. Why? She's great. Popeyes and tequila. Sounds wild. No, Popeyes and Don Julio. In the bathroom. That sounds wild. Well, I mean, if you are in Louisiana and you celebrate in the Superbowl.
Starting point is 01:51:36 What, D.I. hire a creative just can't pay? Yeah, yeah, just keep it. Just keep it. They put it in limited edition menus in select U.S. US restaurants and is landed in NOLA the home of Popeyes for the football's biggest games. So tell us what Popeyes. I would love to see what Popeyes they have in it.
