Now in some quick sports congratulations to Oklahoma City Thunder. They beat the Pacers last night 103-91. Drop on the clues Bob for OKC. Tyrese Halliburton was injured during
Starting point is 00:05:46 the first quarter though they believe it was an Achilles injury definitely was an Achilles injury wouldn't make much of a difference though okay we're still winning the game yeah okay see they played amazing I think they they did good it was about 20 at one point so congratulations to okay see they've been the best team in the league all year I mean so I mean that's usually how it's supposed to play out right the best team in the league all year was the mean, so I mean that's usually how it's supposed to play out, right? The best team in the league all year wins the championship. They deserve that win and Kevin Durant has been traded to the Houston Rockets. Now the Rockets are sending Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks and the number 10 pick in a 2025 draft and five second round picks for KD.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So they gonna have a squad. No, they not. They not gonna win a goddamn thing. You cut it out. I would have kept that young core together personally myself. Yeah, I like Jalen Green and Dylan Brooks. But you know, the coaches dope too. I don't know if KD can play under that coach. Yeah, I don't know if KD can play in them. KD has not proven that he can lead anybody to anything.
Starting point is 00:06:39 So, no. What's up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey, how we feeling on a Monday? Good. Good. Good. As good as we can fill with the news that broke over the weekend. I hear y'all.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I hear y'all. All right. Well, let's get into it first on front page. Y'all remember how last week President Trump said he would decide within two weeks if the U.S. would get directly involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel? Well, it appears that two weeks turn closer to two days because the US did in fact bomb nuclear facilities in Iran on Saturday. Now President Trump called the strikes a spectacular military success. He addressed the nation just hours after the strikes and he
Starting point is 00:07:17 thanked Israel and the US troops who were involved in the mission. He also issued a warning to Iran. Let's take a listen to the President Trump Trump's comments. They are a little bit long, so let's hear them out. A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordow, Netanj and Esfahan. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many many Decades Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally
Starting point is 00:08:18 obliterated Iran the bully of the Middle East must now make peace if do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. Yeah, guys, so Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he expressed his gratitude to the US and President Trump. In a recorded address, Netanyahu said Trump's decision to strike Iran will change history. Let's take a listen to those comments from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime, the world's most dangerous weapons. President Trump and I often say, peace through strength.
Starting point is 00:08:58 First comes strength, then comes peace. So of course this comes after Israel and Iran have been trading airstrikes for more than a week. Now, Iran's foreign ministry says the U.S. has started a dangerous war against Iran. They released a statement saying in the midst of a diplomatic process, the U.S. has betrayed diplomacy. The statement said the U.S. government bears full responsibility for the grave consequence and dire repercussions
Starting point is 00:09:23 of the attack. Iran's foreign minister is in Moscow with urgent talks for Urgent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin Abbas Iraq's Iraqchi told reporters in Istanbul that Iran and Russia have strategic partnerships and they always consult each other when they Because they are allies and the Kremlin has helped Iran with its civilian nuclear program in exchange for supplying Russia with military drones in its war with Ukraine. So this does appear to be escalating tension. I will say that the State Department has issued a worldwide caution security alert. The State Department said the conflict between Iran and Israel has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic
Starting point is 00:10:07 closures of airspace across the Middle East it is it's the alert the State Department has advised US citizens worldwide to exercise extreme caution and it follows Department of Homeland Security's issuance of a national terrorism advisory system bulletin Iranian officials have also warned of retaliation against the US after these airstrikes on their nuclear facilities. Yeah, I'm not even gonna sit here and pretend I know what any of this means
Starting point is 00:10:32 or what is gonna happen next. I wanna say let's hope for the best, but the best would be that Iran doesn't retaliate against America in any way, but I don't see that happening. But we'll see. Yeah, no, it's very scary, because I mean, I think we all expect the retaliation is just where, when, how and hopefully it's protected.
Starting point is 00:10:50 They shoot whatever happens down or anything that happens outside of that they prevent but it's very scary. Absolutely. At seven we'll talk more about in detail about the strikes and I'll share how Congress feels about this so you guys stick around for more front page news at seven.

Starting point is 00:16:22 i was asking a rhetorical question ma''am, do you guys wash our clothes? Her silence was definite. Yeah, I mean, if I bought something from a thrift store, I would definitely wash it. And I'm thinking right now, my wife, before she gets anything to the thrift store, she washes it. But me, I just throw it in the bag and just send it.
Starting point is 00:16:39 So sometimes you just never know what you get. Exactly, but even before you buy the clothes, it's like all that unwashed clothes, you just working on all that odor, bad smells. You don't know what people doing to their pants. Everybody don't stink and I don't fart in my clothes. So you should wash the clothes before you go. They still was in your house.
Starting point is 00:17:01 What if you got bed bugs? I ain't got no bed bugs. I got a whole bag of clothes that I took to France last week all from H&M and Zara Okay, cuz I'd be at H&M and Zara and I'm taking all that back. I know you're taking it back. I kept the tags on and everything But you didn't wear it though. That's why you didn't wear it He wore some of them bad things. Alright I love you guys. Y'all have a good morning Somebody said to me yesterday, talk about why the tag wrinkled. The tag wrinkled cuz I cuz I wore it. I don't take the tag on purpose What happened last time when you did that right there used to be a store called Bergdorf that used to be here right?
Starting point is 00:17:30 I think Bergdorf, it was Bergdorf that closed right? Yeah Barney's one of them and Charlamagne Set it on the air his stylists with the ticket back the next day and they wouldn't take it cuz you know That's not true. They still had to take it back at the tag was still longer than everything But I tell you this, I cried. Because see, I'm the opposite of B. Simone. I cry when I spend too much money at a place like Bergall Goodman. And at least she don't take stuff back to H&M.
Starting point is 00:17:51 She feel bad because she gotta go shopping and you're taking back. I take stuff back to everywhere, every dime count. I know, I swear. I've been unemployed four times. I done had to collect unemployment checks. I take it back. I'm not gonna wear it ever again, so what's wrong with me?
Starting point is 00:18:02 Charlamagne, it was white linen. There's no way that that is crispy white. you wore it like there's no way that it's No, how much you want back? That's stupid that was a stupid decision I mean, but guess what? Man, suck my ****. What's up, brother? How you doing? What? What's up, man? Happy Pride. Happy Pride. Keep your ditty away from me, Playboy. Oh, Sean Stone. Yo, Sean.
Starting point is 00:18:32 He said, bless you. Oh, my goodness. Happy Pride, Sean. What's up, man? I'm sorry to be able to excite you. You got so excited when I said that. I'm sorry, brother. Stop. No, no, I wasn't excited. And just since you wanted to put her thing in my mouth and I get excited for me What is going on?
Starting point is 00:18:53 I'm all over the place right now with that problem I wasn't expecting that just I know I don't know why you would say something like that. Do you Sean? Oh my goodness? I'm traumatized I got anxiety. Alright, well get it off your chest, come on. Well peace and blessings. Good morning Jess, good morning Evie. Good morning. Happy Pride. Good morning to that other guy at the bar, the AV, I'm not a gay dude.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Why you say Happy Pride to me? I didn't say you are. Just say it, Happy Pride man. What do you want Sean Sean? Listen, man. Sean, man, stop talking crap out of your mouth. You just said that the series would have never mattered because Halliburton got injured, bro. How do you know that?
Starting point is 00:19:35 I don't think it would have mattered in game seven. I think OKC was on. It was up by 20 plus. It was like 28, almost 30 at one point. But also, Indiana was sticking around. If Halliburton didn't get hurt, we would have seen a good series in a better series you can't Better game. Yeah, we just in a better game. I think so, too Well, what I'm saying is I notice you always hate on light-skinned people
Starting point is 00:20:05 But then also you did Westwood Club court last Friday hate on light-skinned people. And? That's all I'm saying. So? You know what I mean? It's a stop that. And? But then also you did the Breakfast Club court last Friday. And even though I do agree with some of the things that you were saying, I think you were wrong in the situation. And I'm gonna tell you how you was wrong in the situation. How was I wrong?
Starting point is 00:20:19 When the hostess was looking at you to see if you want that guy to get a drink, you're the one that told the hostess, yeah, pour him a drink. So because you tell the hostess to pour him a drink, now this guy think he's entitled to grab bottles and pour himself a damn drink. I totally, I totally disagree. But you know, I'm not about to sit here and argue with you about this. Hey, it is what it is, man.
Starting point is 00:20:44 And it's so funny, you know, whatever you tell gay people when they're doing something wrong, Jess, they always quick to say you're homophobic. I remember Trav used to call up here all the time and try to say Jess and Larry was homophobic. But look at him now, all over Jess. Mm-mm-mm, Jess, take your t-shits out of his mouth, please. That's crazy, I ain't never know tramps had that.
Starting point is 00:21:05 And Jess is not homophobic. Not at all. I know that, but she's other phobics, but not f**ked. Uh-uh, don't do it. Alright, alright, goodbye, goodbye. Have a great day. Goodbye. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. With the fool? Please, no.
Starting point is 00:21:23 We got the latest with Lauren coming up. What are we talking about Lauren? Yeah, we can do Jay Z Beyonce performing for the first time in seven years and a little dig that people think he took at Kanye. Okay, I like that. Okay, yeah. Period. I ain't know that, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:36 All right, we'll get into that when we come back as The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. the breakfast club. So over the weekend, Beyonce took her tour to Paris and of course all of the celebrities popped out, but one of the biggest names that people were excited to see, he's at every tour stop, but Jay-Z actually came out on stage with Beyonce in Paris. Now this is a big deal for several reasons. It has been seven years since they have performed on stage together.
Starting point is 00:22:36 So first of all, let's take a listen to Jay-Z coming out to Drunk in Love. That's not Drunk in Love. That's crazy in love. That's crazy in love. Crazy. You know, she got dangerous in love, crazy in love and drunk. Yes. Well, the point of playing the performance clips between the two of them was the fact that when he came out, it was a surprise that a crowd went crazy. Again, he's been at the other tour stops, but he has not been on stage. So that happens. He comes on stage and perform a few songs and then he goes into n words in Paris while in Paris And people think he took a little dab here at Kanye West. Let's take a listen That was not a day literally just substitute literally just substituted Ye name for his wife's name.
Starting point is 00:23:26 You caught it, yes. It's her concert. Exactly, which makes a lot of sense and that is what performers do. But you know that there was the whole Kanye West getting online with the tweets about the kids and then Mama Tina made her comments or all that. So people felt like this was him finally getting his revenge back but I don't feel like it. Just switching out the thing. And by people you mean Twitter of course.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Oh yeah the fans were going crazy. They were so even not even Twitter you got I'm looking at Yahoo.com right now all of the outlets also talked a lot about this because I mean they need the story they need the headline. But in other news while all this was, there was another fan theory that was working this way. Now this one was an ex theory because Nicki Minaj was online all weekend long talking about or alleging that Roc Nation has silenced her fans in an effort to get her out of here basically.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Who the hell can silence them damn bars? Nobody can silence them. What are we talking about here? Well, so let's back it up so Nikki Minaj did a verse on the Carter Six the bonus version of the album it's called Band From N.O. the remix let's take a listen to her verse So she says, NFL fire some N words and then call us. Now the song is called band from no band from New Orleans and you know, they're throwing shots at the NFL because you know, remember Nikki Minaj spoke out when little Wayne didn't get his chance. Yep, at Super Bowl. So she's on Twitter all weekend and she's hashtagging as she's are mentioning as she's doing some of these tweets, NFL fire some
Starting point is 00:25:19 n words and then the phone for call us. So she said, they don't want you to see it when I'm liking. So that feature was demolished listening devices, cameras, car tags, pages you don't follow under the following section of x. Hmm, how do I get paid for that? Then she starts talking about she starts talking directly to the barbs and she's saying barbs save all info on every time you get flagged or suspended and what platform it is on. Then she started retweeting fan theories alleging different alleging basically Jay-Z's role in X Steel and after selling it to Jack Dorsey and all these things as well. But she's clearly insinuating that her fans are being silenced because some of the fans were tweeting her and saying whenever they would get online to defend her or if they
Starting point is 00:26:00 would hashtag the band from an old song, the algorithm would, you wouldn't see it as clearly if we pushed down Shadow Band or you just couldn't simply upload it. So they now, I say all that because people think that Jay-Z coming out on stage with his wife in Paris to do N words in Paris was to distract from all of this Nicki Minaj stuff. Y'all are ridiculous. I wanted to say something though. If rock nation controls all of social media, how come they can't stop everybody on social media
Starting point is 00:26:29 from spreading all the negative stories about them? About Beyonce and Jay-Z. About Rock Nation, period. If I was Rock Nation and I could suppress stories, wouldn't I suppress stories about myself? All of them. Wouldn't that make more sense? Can we just salute Ho Do,
Starting point is 00:26:41 the fact that he came from Brooklyn and performed at that show and it went stupid. It was ape-ish and then the fact that everybody was singing every word, every line. Can we just talk about that for a moment? Wow. Keep in mind he's a 55 year old man whose first album came out in 1996 and he's getting that kind of love in another country and hasn't put out anything new since 2017. Listen. Let's talk about that.

Harris, it was lit up and those people, he act like it was the whole tour. Like when he came out,
Starting point is 00:27:38 it was different. Yeah. I can't remember the last time I seen him on stage, so I can see why that was a long time. But I think it was dope too too because he was just in New York at the fanatics thing So people thought he was still there. So the fact that he came out was even more of a surprise I don't think anybody was watching that and congratulate you mentioned Cardi B I think Cardi B her record with number one on Apple music this week Drop a bomb for Barney. Yes, they pulled her into the conspiracy too They said that that's why she was there to help them distract from the fact because her record just did so well. Cardi was in Cannes performing for Spotify. So many people left from Cannes to go watch
Starting point is 00:28:11 Beyonce and Paris on that. I think she performed this whole weekend. Yeah I'm bugging. She been out since Thursday. And y'all talk about the crowd and how crazy the crowd went. The reports are that there were 70,000 people in that crowd of fans and that it was a sold out show. I love it.

What's up Morgan? Hey, ah, hey. So let's get back into the details on the strikes on Iran's nuclear facility. So the Pentagon says the bombing of Iran's nuclear sites, nickname operation midnight hammer was the largest B2 bomber bomber strike in U.S. history. The U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fortified Fordow facility. In addition to the Natanz and Isfahan facilities, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain, said the destruction of the facilities was substantial and more will be known in the coming days.
Starting point is 00:31:01 He added the operation was top secret and very few people in Washington knew of the plan that involved the U.S. submarines launching Tomahawk missiles. General Kaine detailed the attack. Let's take a listen to his comments. Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction. The main strike package comprised of seven B-2 Spirit bombers, each with two crew members, proceeded quietly to the east with minimal communications. As the Operation Midnight Hammer strike package entered Iranian airspace, the U.S. employed several deception tactics, including decoys.
Starting point is 00:31:45 So those B-2 bomber pilots are reportedly back in Missouri, according to President Trump. Israeli attacks have reportedly killed at least 865 people, including civilians and military personnel. Retaliatory strikes in Israel have resulted in about 24 deaths. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says President Trump's decision to hit Iran was bold and brilliant, adding the strikes had nothing to do with the regime change in Iran and everything to do with Iran's nuclear program ending. However, President Trump appears to be supporting the idea of a possible regime change in Iran
Starting point is 00:32:21 in a series of posts on Truth Social. Trump said, if the current Iranian regime is unable to make America great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change? Now I will add, there is speculation that Iran may have moved their nuclear materials like enriched uranium ahead of the attacks, but that has not been confirmed. That's just speculation at this time because there was warning ahead of the attacks. Now Congress is reacting and of course it's a mixed bag. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders was at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma when he shared
Starting point is 00:32:51 the news of the military action to the crowd calling Trump's actions unconstitutional. Let's take a listen to his comments. The only entity that can take this country to war is the US Congress. The president does not have the right. Meanwhile, Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mays, who's your homegirl? The Charlemagne from North Carolina. South Carolina. Sorry, South Carolina. I said Trump is the greatest president in American history. Now
Starting point is 00:33:20 appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona said the attack who, by the way, Mark Kelly also served in our military, he said that the attack could lead to severe consequences, adding Trump should have come to Congress for authorization. Let's take a listen to his comments. We could see terrorist attacks here. The Iranians still have a lot of proxies. They could go after us. The escalatory factor of this action that was taken yesterday is significant. The and show the rest of the world what we already know. It can't get no better than being Hella Black,

Starting point is 00:37:10 The summer of 1993 was one of the best of my life. I'm journalist Jeff Perlman and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part, our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name, Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie.
Starting point is 00:37:30 We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode. His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you. But then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Morgan, this is one of those times where politicians sound like hypocrites because Mark Kelly is right, presidents should get congressional approval, but there have been a bunch of presidents who have ordered strikes without congressional approval.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Barack Obama did it against Libya, Joe Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval. Bill Clinton did it to Kosovo, I think you pronounce it. to be a, you know, Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval. Bill Clinton did it to Kosovo. I think you pronounce it. So president's ordering military action without congressional approval has become pretty routine. So I so so so so is it always a thing when they do it? I'm just asking. I don't know. No, this is where this is where those articles of impeachment come up. And that's why House
Starting point is 00:38:42 Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she actually says that President Trump's decision to strike Iran could lead to impeachment. So why didn't, I'm just saying, so why didn't it lead to impeachment for everybody else? Like when Barack Obama did it, when Biden did it? But it has, you know, not that it necessarily, well, the people in Congress or congressional members will call for it. Does it necessarily mean that those, that they'll move forward with the impeachment process? Not necessarily. But there have been times in the past that these congressional members have called for impeachment of the president because of their military actions
Starting point is 00:39:13 or actions that they've taken with the military without having that congressional. I don't even. It hasn't been as much backlash. I don't even remember hearing about it during the Joe Biden administration. I guess that's because the way Trump has been moving. But we haven't heard about it when Obama did it. We didn't hear about it when Biden did it. I do remember when Obama did it. When Obama did it, I do remember, you know, people in Congress saying he needed congressional approval and they were making it a thing. The only reason I know about Biden, because I read an article on NBC News last night
Starting point is 00:39:39 that was literally about this. The headline was, Presidents Ordering Military Action Without Congressional Approval Has Become Routine. this. The headline was, presidents ordering military action without congressional approval has become routine. And it talked about Biden citing article number two in the Constitution, which makes the president commander in chief, and I guess basically saying he don't need congressional approval. And that's when he ordered the strikes in Iraq and Syria. As far as what is taking place here on the home front and how this impacts us on immediately, oil prices are jumping following the US airstrikes on Iran. US crude oil has gone up more than 2% Sunday evening to $75.60 per barrel.
Starting point is 00:40:14 This comes, of course, as there is uncertainty regarding the oil supply outlook in the Middle East. Iranian state media also reported that the country's parliament supported closing the Strait of Hormuz According to the Energy Information Administration 20% of the crude oil consumed by the world passes through that straight Which by the way is located in Iran So meanwhile the Dow Jones industrial average S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures have all been down But we will see more of that as the market opens today
Starting point is 00:40:42 So this is more disruptions to that to that straight was the straight of whole Mars or what is it called? I'm loose. Yeah, it's a gas might jump up to a dollar to a dollar 25 per gallon Yeah, they're gonna have to release they're gonna have to release some of the reserve to help people out because it's gonna be ridiculous I mean eight dollars a gallon nobody's gonna be able to drive anywhere or the buses or public transportation everything I believe that also some of our goods pass through there as well. So you know, might want to rack up on things that you can if you you know, you're in the grocery store, you know, just start to say that we won't have toilet paper paper towels for years.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Paper in the water and all of that. No, but you know, just just pay attention to what's going on around you and say this village and out vigilant vigilant vigilant. Yeah, I got to what's going on around you and say this village and out the vigilance vigilance vigilance. Yeah, I got to keep your eyes on. Yeah, yeah. Keep your eyes out. Keep your eyes on the swivel. There you go.

Starting point is 00:41:43 All right. Thank you, Morgan. Now when we come back from the Big Three, Ice Cube and Dwight Howard will be joining us. Don't go anywhere, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. What did he say there? Because it got to a point at first you was chill
Starting point is 00:41:57 and then you were just like, nah. He didn't say anything, he just started putting his hands up like he was gonna start throwing punches. So I'm like, bro, you did it once, you did it twice. What's going on? It was just too much. Just too much man, we out there hooping. I just felt bad after, as soon as I grabbed him,
Starting point is 00:42:13 I'm like, man damn, I'm on TV. I'm with Q, man I don't wanna make him look bad cause we just got the deal with CBS and everybody. So I'm like, man, I don't want this to look like what everybody say. Yeah. He's always fighting on TV. So I'm like, hey, I mean, it's my big ass and less. So after that, I called Cuban, you know, let them know, man. I really apologize for that.
Starting point is 00:42:38 You know, we got to be better than that. I got to be better. Q, what were you thinking at first when you seen the fight? I know he was like, damn, why do you fight? Then it was like the amount of press to the guy. It was like this is. Yeah, what were you thinking at first? When you seen the fight, I know you was like, damn, why they fighting? And it was like, the amount of press to the guy, it was like, this is. Yeah, I mean, you never want. Competition.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I mean, I love trash talking. You know, I knew it was gonna get chippy when they started kind of touching each other. You know, I don't like that part. And hey man, it happens. Look, later on that day, it happened in the WNBA with two white girls. So it happens, you know, it's when it's when you know that the passion is there.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Guys want to win, you know, guys still got that chip on their shoulder. It's still, yeah, you know, it's like, it's pride in the game. It just went a little overboard. You know, this is their first game in the league. So, you know, they got to just learn it. You know, it's their first game in the league. So, you know, they gotta just learn it. You know, it's a little more physical. You can trash talk, but we don't want it to go overboard. You know, Dwight, you talked about being misunderstood in the NBA.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Does the Big Three give you a chance to, like, I guess rewrite your legacy on your own terms a little bit? I just have another outlet to play basketball, and I'm very thankful for Q for just giving me that opportunity. So I know I've done what I've had to do in the NBA, not trying to go back and rewrite anything dealing with the NBA, but this is a whole new venture and I'm glad to be a part of it with Ice Cube. I watched his movies, I watched so much from Ice since I've been growing up.
Starting point is 00:44:02 So to finally actually be in the same room with him, to be working with him, you know, it's an honor. So, you know, be out there on the court again is a blessing. I played since I was three, but to come back again at 39, still feel great about playing is awesome. So I'm just thankful that he's made an outlet
Starting point is 00:44:22 and a platform for all of us to continue our career because a lot of times when we get out of the league, they just kick us out. It's like y'all didn't even play with us. So I'm just thankful for these opportunities. Now you haven't officially retired from the NBA. No I haven't. Do you look at the NBA and be like, I'm better than him? I do.
Starting point is 00:44:41 I'm way better than him. I'll be like me. Do you feel that when you look at the league sometimes? Yeah, but then I had to realize it's not about who's better and who's not better. It's just what a team wants at a certain time. And they might not need a 39-year-old player on their team. They might want somebody younger who might not have the same name or anything like that who if they lose or win it can be like hey I just
Starting point is 00:45:05 this the player I drafted I ain't get the white Howard you know I'm saying so it's tough to look at it like damn I know I can beat him but you can't look at it like that it's ageism you know it's everywhere and you know we should start looking at people not how old they are but can they do it or not. Skill level. Can you do it or not because you know we got youngsters out there too you know in the big three is 22 and up so we got youngsters out there that can't do it and we got guys out there that's in their 30s that can still do it and like that's all we care about. Can you put the ball in the hoop? Can you pass dribblebble, and shoot,
Starting point is 00:45:46 and defend at a high level? And what do aides gotta do with it? And congratulations too, man, Hall of Fame. Appreciate it, man. That's right. Well deserved. It's crazy though, because you got one of the most decorated resumes
Starting point is 00:45:58 in NBA history, but for whatever reason it was a debate. It seemed like it was a debate on whether or not the White House should be in the Hall of Fame. Like what do you think people were missing? What did they not understand? I just think that a lot of times the era that I played in, social media became a thing. So once rumors or situations started to happen away from the court, I think that kind of
Starting point is 00:46:21 shifted the attention of what I did as a basketball player to all the BS and that became the forefront of the conversation. Oh, he got in trouble here. He did this. He was fighting with Kobe. This, that, and the third. And that don't have nothing to do with my actual resume. So people start looking at the resume and saying, well, dang, he was a bad teammate
Starting point is 00:46:42 because Kobe said he did this and all these different things. So I think a lot of that had to do with that. And then, you know, there's a situation that I put myself in, you know, that people have taken that and said, you know, maybe this is why he is not as talked about. But I just feel like all that is excuses because other players and they've had issues and stuff on the court that still hasn't stopped them from getting their respect on the court and what they've done as players and stuff so I just think it's BS. So if your Hall of Fame speech had to be written by one of your biggest critics who would you pick? One of my biggest critics. Yeah and what would you want them to admit
Starting point is 00:47:18 that they had wrong about you? Probably somebody in the sports business like Stephen A. Smith to do it because he knows most of the players. I don't think he's going to give a biased opinion. You know, now he's probably would back when I played, but now my career is basically over with in the NBA, so he can just go by strictly numbers or whatever it may be. What reason would he have to give a biased opinion, even back then? Like why be biased? I felt like all of them were biased towards the system.
Starting point is 00:47:50 You know, back then with Skip and all of them, like certain players, it seemed like they always got the short end of the stick they always talked about in a bad way. And then you got some players who they don't get that, you know, that same treatment. Now they always talk about your relationship with Kobe and off again, on again, and how you guys were,
Starting point is 00:48:10 why do you think that is so detailed with your career so much? Like, he just talked about all your half-lades, he just talked about all the things that you did, but that relationship seems like for most is everything, but Kobe had his stuff as well too. Man, man, this man was teammates for one season. And that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:28 So it's like, how are you gonna compare our relationship to Kobe and Shaq or anybody else? We didn't have time, you know what I'm saying? So I think it was just, they needed a scapegoat when I was with the Lakers and it gotta be somebody. They ain't gonna blame Kobe. It should have been Steve Nash. That should have been Skagg Goat.
Starting point is 00:48:47 He the one came and got hurt, he ain't won. Yeah, he missed most of the whole season. Every time he was thrown off from there. Yeah, I came with the Lakers off of herniated discs. I was supposed to miss the whole season when I came to the Lakers. I missed four, well, I came back in four months. I had a torn labrum that year.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I still played. So it's like they took all of my issues and made it seem like the whites the problem for this team. And instead of me speaking up about it, I just let it ride, because I'm like, what am I? I don't need to go back and forth with tell people like, no, it wasn't my fault. I didn't do this.
Starting point is 00:49:23 I just feel like once you do that, it kind of makes you seem I didn't do this. I just feel like once you do that, it kinda like makes you seem like you was the issue. So I'm like, man, whatever city I go to next, I'ma just ball out. If we win, we win. If we don't, I did my job. All right, we got more with Ice Cube and Dwight Howard
Starting point is 00:49:38 when we come back. So don't move, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. JNV, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Dwight Howard and Ice Q. Jess. What's your relationship like with Shaq these days? What the hell what happened with you with Shaq? How did that start? I have no idea. I know they were saying Shaq was upset about the nickname that you did. Superman? yeah he says you
Starting point is 00:50:22 he make himself Superman or did was that something that was given to him by everybody else? He was the man of steel. Is that Superman? Yes. Come on, man. So he got the man of steel. He got all the nicknames. Hey, man, I didn't even name myself Superman. I went in the dunk contest, did the dunk contest with Superman outfit on, and everybody
Starting point is 00:50:36 started saying Superman after that. It wasn't No Knock at Shack. Really, it was Soulja Boy, if you want to keep it a bean. Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy did it first. Soulja Boy. If you wanna keep it a bean. Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy did it first. Soulja Boy had the Superman song and that was my favorite song because everybody know I'm known for dancing
Starting point is 00:50:52 and doing the Soulja Boy all the time. So I'm doing it every day in practice. I dunked over my teammate one day and everybody was like, man, you really Superman. We gonna call you Superman. It had nothing to do with Shaq. You know what I'm saying? I guess he took that as saying,
Starting point is 00:51:07 as being disrespectful, but why would I be disrespectful to somebody who paved the way for all of us bigs, you know? We pay homage and honor to the ones who came before us, but when it's our time, we gonna get out there and go. So when I'm playing Shaq, I'm going at him. I'm talking, you ain't Superman no more, I'm Superman. Whatever it may be, because it's competition.
Starting point is 00:51:31 But as soon as we step off the court, that's my brother, that's the OG, you know what I'm saying? I think people kinda took that as a disrespect and I have nothing but love for Shaq. So even now, the last time I saw him, we got a chance to chop it up and finish the beef or whatever it was and now we good. Cube, I'm glad you didn't hold none of this against the white, okay, between the Shaq
Starting point is 00:51:53 and the other stuff. Nah, whatever they did in the NBA, they're forgiving, you know what I mean? Come on and rock with the big three. It's really know, seeing these guys play at the highest level, you know, for the fans, you know, I don't, I don't do this for me because I can spend a lot less money if I did, but it's for the fans, you know, it's for, you know, the people who sit around after the finals looking for something to do, waiting for the NFL to start and now they got the big three. So I'm just glad, you know, a player of his stature
Starting point is 00:52:27 came to our league, does a lot for our league. You know, I wish more guys, you know what I mean? More superstars come to the league, you know, when they, you know, done playing in the NBA, you know, give us a year or two, you know, to help blow this up for, you know, for the future, for players who are not superstars, for players who don't end the game on their own terms.
Starting point is 00:52:50 They get kicked out basically or they say, we don't have a place for you. And so some of them got to go overseas. Most of them do. A lot of our guys play overseas all over the world, but they want to play at home, you know what I mean? In front of, you know, their fans, in front of their friends, in front of their kids, momma daddy, grandmama coming to the game. So you know, I'm just happy that he came to play with the Big 3.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Now at one time you had, there were certain things that you had to do to play in the league, right? You had to get to be over 22, you have to have NBA experience. Have you changed that at all? Oh Yeah, we have you know, and now it's 22 and up and So doesn't matter if you played in the league or not No, it doesn't matter because what we realize is three on three is its own sport You know, it's it's different than five on five. No, five on five. You can be a specialist, you know, you could be a rebound guy, defensive guy, or a three point guy.
Starting point is 00:53:53 But in three on three, you gotta have all around skills. You gotta be able to pass, dribble, shoot, and defend at a high level. And so we realized like, we need to create our own athletes, our own superstars, because there's some people who they wasn't good in the five on five NBA, you know what I mean? But they're great in the big three and vice versa. Some guys were great in the NBA, but when they get to the big three, they get locked up.
Starting point is 00:54:19 So it's its own sport. So we need to create our own athletes. Now also, I noticed that, you know, we talked about the last time you were here, that it it's its own sport. So we need to create our own athletes. Now also I noticed that, you know, we talked about it last time you were here, that it felt like the NBA and other leagues were kind of following your guide, right? Meaning it's not just a three-point line anymore. The NBA is thinking about doing a four-point line and things like that. Do you think they following, watch what you're doing and try to mimic what you're doing?
Starting point is 00:54:41 Definitely. You know, we changed the game in a lot of ways. You know, we got a running list, you know what I mean? You know, I got to pull up the list, but it's a few things we've been clocking, you know, and it's more than 20. And so that means we're changing the game for the better. And so it's great because we feel like
Starting point is 00:55:04 we have some great rules. We have great innovations, but they're all designed for the big three for the three on three game. And so the NBA take a few things cool with that. I'm gonna take a lot from them too. So you know, it's mutual. And you know, at the end of the day, it's really all about making sure people love the basketball that's being played and the big three, we play the game the right way.
Starting point is 00:55:31 No one to ask you, Q, what do you think the NBA fears most about the big three? Is it the format? Is it the independence or just the influence y'all have with like retired stars like the white? I really think it's the independence. You know, um, they, they think they own basketball. You know, but kids don't run out and say, mom, I'm gonna go play the NBA.
Starting point is 00:55:53 You know, they run out and say, I'm gonna go play basketball. So it's owned by all of us. And the fact that we do things to change the game, to make our game better, you know, we ain't trying to change the NBA. So I think they don't like that we, we're forward moving. You know, we was the first to embrace mental health.
Starting point is 00:56:14 We was the first league to embrace CBD use. The first league to have a lady coach men and coach to a championship so We've been first in these places where they should have been and and I don't think they dig that You know at the end of the day now How do you stay focused with you just me you're that mental health? But how do you stay focused with everything that goes on in your life? And it seems like everything's always on the net
Starting point is 00:56:41 How do you still focus on pulling up and playing basketball all the time, training and your family? Like how do you keep all the BS out of your head? Stay off the internet for one. You never off the internet. You always responding. No that's not, well be quiet. You got a ghost Twitter?
Starting point is 00:56:57 I might. But no I'm not a person that wants to get too heavily involved with what people are saying because I know people are going to talk and they're going to have an opinion and that could keep you from getting your goal in life. So sometimes I've always cared about what people say too much and lately I just been like man I'm gonna just stay off all this stuff focus on what I gotta focus on which is my children my health my spirit and keep moving forward and people gonna always talk I hate it I hate being on the net sometimes but it is what it is I can't
Starting point is 00:57:42 do nothing about it. You were up out dancing every once in a while. I saw you mess that dance up with Steve from Milwaukee. Oh lord. Uptown, downtown. I said, why are you doing that? I can't move my knee like that. Yeah, talk about you known for dancing. I am known for dancing, bro. Not that dance.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Well, you're 39 now. The dancing back then was the Nae Nae, the Snap. Soulgy boy, the Snap. All that stuff. All this Nu-A stuff, my knees is not capable of doing that. Because it's not in your DNA. All that stuff is from Atlanta. Yeah, that's not from Atlanta. That's Midwest.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Well, speaking of Atlanta, you know I gotta ask, because I'm the woman in the room. Are you legally married to my girl, Amy Luciani? That's not her name, but... Amy Luciani, your name? No, that's her stage name. She is definitely a rapper. She is an artist actually. So that's a rap name. Are you legally married to her? We are. Okay. I had to ask because you know it was reported that you guys were but it was never no confirmation or anything like that so I want to know. Oh yeah. I saw a way some rumors but just keep that side of my life private so everybody ain't got nothing to say. Keep that private and keep it moving.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Well, what's her name since that ain't her name? Amber. Amber Rose. But you know that is her rap name though. Correct. He said, do you know? He said, I know. I'm just saying, I mean, because he told me that ain't her name.
Starting point is 00:59:00 I mean, that's what we know. I mean, because we listen to our music. Are you married to Amber Rose? Not that one. I know, but that's what we know me cuz you married em rules not double. I know but that's the headline All right, we got more with ice cube and Dwight Howard when we come back it's the breakfast club Good morning. Good morning. Everybody is DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, The Guy, we are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with
Starting point is 00:59:29 Ice Cube and Dwight Howard. Kaitlyn Clark you said you were gonna have her on the big three if you could have made it happen. Were you gonna change the whole league for that? What do you mean by change the league? Cause Kaitlyn. She's the woman say it. No cause Kaitlyn Clark is the woman.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I mean what can you do to change the league? No cause she's the only woman that you have in the league. Don't foul her too hard. No, no, no, no, no. You gotta be able to play. Like, we wouldn't have did nothing different. Either she could have been able to play at that level or not, you know. Kaitlin Clark is not backing down the White Outward, man. No, no, she's not that kind of player, you know.
Starting point is 01:00:03 She's a small, you know, kind of point guard. We've had the only reason why it even is a thing because we had small guys get loose. You know, Mahmoud Abdur-Raouf, Nate Robinson, they got loose in our league. So we felt like a player like that could get loose if they, you know, we couldn't say she couldn't play. Like it ain't up to us to say you can't play you got throw the basketball out and see what happened and you know so we made the offer it didn't happen and we moved on CC the true shack is gonna walk you out for your hall of fame speech that what he
Starting point is 01:00:43 said I called all today said hey big fella you want me gonna walk you out for your Hall of Fame speech? That what he said. I called him the other day. He said, Hey, big fella, you want me to walk you out? No, but yeah, he's supposed to. You said you wanted him, KG, and Kareem. Kareem Olajuwon. Kareem Olajuwon, okay. Yeah. I love Kareem. I really would love Kareem to be there, all the big man goats. I still have Kareem as my goat. I don't know why people never talk about him like that, but as far as strictly basketball,
Starting point is 01:01:10 what he did from high school, college, NBA, you can't name too many people that got a better career than him. And he had two names to do it with. So he killed with one name, then came back and did it again with another name, and he don't get talked about. So I guess it's because he a big man.
Starting point is 01:01:28 The big man until recently hasn't really been looked at as a skilled position almost. Why not? I don't know. Because the Keem Elijah one was super skilled. That has. It has with Patrick. It has with Spurs, David Roberts, and Tim Duncan. Patrick was skilled like Keem and Kareem.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Who wasn't? Patrick was. Patrick was skilled. Not like Keem and Kareem. Well, how could you say Kareem was skilled? He just had the right hand hook. That was FNAF though. But you said skill.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Skill mean right hand, left hand, drop shot. Patrick dropped step, turn around, jump shot, fade away. Patrick had skills. Patrick Chua had everything. Remember the big old shoes he had too? Yeah. Hakeem had a bag though. Hakeem had a bag.
Starting point is 01:01:57 He did. He did have a bag. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. He was playing basketball. Remember the big old shoes he had too? Yeah. Hakeem had a bag though.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Hakeem had a bag. He did. He did have a bag. He was probably one of the coldest centers. But the most dominant center gotta be Shaq. Yeah Shaq, of course. Now Ice Cube, I'm not gonna lie, I'm right here. I'm fangirling.

Do you feel a responsibility to reintroduce your story and your own words? I just think it's a different chapter, a new chapter in my story.
Starting point is 01:04:25 There's no way I can go back and change anything that has ever happened in my past. And you know, I can't do that, you know, but what I can do is just this next chapter of my life is make it better than my last chapter, you know. My last chapter was really great.

Okay, so over this weekend, Jim Jones and Shannon Sharp, It was viral online that they went added over a conversation that originally started on the Joe and Jada podcast with Jim Jones about influence and Jim Jones being compared to Nas. So let's take a listen to the original comments. Jim Jones talking to Joe and Jada about his influence. These kids love me. They don't really know who Nas is. he 22 he's born in 03. My sons can't tell you one Nas record. Let's keep it a buck because they'll bring it up. There must be some type
Starting point is 01:06:52 of misconception when it comes to Jim Jones and what Jim Jones have done in this game. So let's not get into that where we get into numbers and I got to show you the statistics of what I've done. You heard to what other people was done. You heard and you want to go to the billboard entries, pull up Nas billboard entries and pull up my billboard entries. Listen, listen, we can't, we can't prepare the two. No, no, no, no. I want to go down the line now because now we going down the line.
Starting point is 01:07:13 No, no, no. He's a rapper and I'm a rapper. So these origin, these comments then led to Jim Jones being a guest on Shannon Sharpe's nightcap by Ocho Cinco and they got into it over the comments. Can we address one thing though? Jim Jones has nine entries in the Billboard 200 with three top ten albums and no number ones, while Nas has 27 entries, 16 top ten albums and six that have reached number one
Starting point is 01:07:42 on the Billboard 200. I'm glad you did that because he addressed those entries in that conversation. Let's take a listen to him on Shannon Sharps nightcap He's singing no rap. You see what I'm saying? Oh, he don't even know about rap He just doing this for the views to get Jim Jones on there to get him I was rapping right now. Right now? No, I wouldn't. I would run. I wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:08:06 It's not the clip. I wouldn't batting around. It's not the clip. We need them. We need Shannon and Jim arguing on Nas. It's crazy, though. I wouldn't run circles around Nas rapping right now. Right now?
Starting point is 01:08:18 No, I wouldn't. What's the other clip that you have? Y'all didn't plan this out before him? We did. It's the best show ever. It is. I'm 57. I can't be singing no rap. See what I'm saying, outro? He don't even know about rap. He just doing this for the views to get Jim Jones on there to get him high.
Starting point is 01:08:34 I know, hold on. That's the same clip too. No, he played a different clip and y'all threw him back to the second clip. Play the second clip, not this one. The one where he starts off. Go ahead. I'm 57. I can't be singing no rap. back to the second clip play the second clip not this one the one where he starts off go ahead I'm 57 I won't be singing no rap I will run circles around Nas rapping right now
Starting point is 01:08:51 what now? Nas put it on the mic I will run satan around Nas right now rapping everybody knows that he's retired that ain't nothing he put it down he said it now I will run laps around Nas rapping right now bro I'm still in it. Oh, damn. We're smoking his boots. I wasn't rapping when he was rapping, but can we really got Adam? You remember?
Starting point is 01:09:09 I really mean it. We've been getting at them boys, but this is not about that right now. 2025. I'm in the game. Still rapping at a high capacity. If not, what's the smoke coming to booth? I will wrap. I'm not going to pass.
Starting point is 01:09:20 I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to pass. I'm not going to not about that. Right now, 2025, I'm in the game still rapping at a high capacity. If Nas wants to smoke coming to Booth, I will rap circles around him. Jim Jones is rapping at a high capacity right now in 2025. I'm on record as saying I think some of the best music that's been coming out of
Starting point is 01:09:37 New York in recent years has been from Jim Jones. I haven't seen Nas in that mode. Nas still makes great music at a high, high, high, high, high level. I just haven't seen Nas in that, you know, let's get active, getting at each other mode. They're two different artists though in two different ways of rapping, right? Oh, I'm not comparing Jim Jones and Nas. I've never heard of them before. Okay, so they're two different artists.
Starting point is 01:09:56 But also, you also got to understand what Jim said. Jim says, I say stuff just to get people talking. And if you're upset with the way what I'm saying, I appreciate you because my streams is bumping and people have been talking about me so some of the stuff that Jim Jones is saying he's just poking the bear just because he wants people to talk about it. By the way I like it because it might spark something different in Nas. Nas has been putting out some phenomenal projects with those King's disease albums right like you know but Nas is rapping about brunch on Sunday which I love because I enjoy brunch on
Starting point is 01:10:20 Sunday but he might activate something else that Nas ain't felt in a while like somebody calling me out. You know, competition. Well, and I posted that in my story. I said Jim though, what's going on, you just know that he goes viral as well, and it's all good publicity to him. So once this started moving, he was posting about, you know, the concerts that he had coming up and all that.
Starting point is 01:10:39 He understands that, but I think unfairly though, people have been, you know, there's been a conversation around him because people are like, well, why are you even comparing yourself to Nas? But he didn't originally have the conversation. There was a podcast that said not even about entries, more so about influence right now who younger kids would know. Like if you're in the club who you're playing, it was that whole conversation. I don't know why that's a conversation. Why are people talking about Nas and Jim Jones in the same breath? That doesn't even make sense. But I will say this and part of it is I think people try to limit and take what Jim Jones has done for the industry and I think Jim Jones is just fed up because Jim Jones has done a lot. I mean he's put up platinum records, put up gold records, he helped architect the diplomats. So he's done a lot for the industry
Starting point is 01:11:21 but you can't compare him to. That's not even a fair comparison. And I wonder how you're supposed to feel about yourself, what do you mean? Yeah? Yes, I got is Jim Jones like well good, but I'm just not as good as this person No, he's not I'm the best exactly Well, I mean we can all disagree like I definitely ranked Nas higher than Jim But I also understand what Jim is saying like let's talk about right now in this moment I still think Nas will get him but I haven't heard Nas in that aggressive mode the way I've been hearing Jim. But I thought Jim was talking more relevancy. I thought Jim was talking about as far as right now in the clubs and everything is out.
Starting point is 01:11:55 He's more relevant to the kids than Nas. That's what you say. He's saying to the kids. I care about classic. You see, but that's what he was talking about. You see when Jay-Z come out in Paris at 55 years old. That's what I care about. I don't care about the relevance Jay-Z come out in Paris at 55 years old, that's what I care about. I don't care about the relevance. Relevancy is like for the moment stuff. But that's what the conversation was about. Yeah, originally it was about relevancy. But when Jim Jones brought in the Billboard entries,
Starting point is 01:12:14 the conversation shifted. And he did say on the Shannon Sharp podcast that he might've kind of over-spoke when it came to entry conversation, but relevance, that's what the 22, 23 year old on that Don't Quote Me podcast was talking about. Like I was influenced by his fashion. We know his songs, we play him in a club. That's what they were trying to get to. And by the way, Shannon Sharpe was just arguing because he saw that on the internet. He saw
Starting point is 01:12:34 the internet saying that Jim was bugging. So he was coming with that perspective. Cause I know damn well Shannon couldn't name five Nile songs. I think he can name three. We have that clip, but I don't even know. I need to hear that. Play that if you got that. name five now songs we have it we have it See what I'm saying? Oh Joe. He don't even know about rap He just doing this for the views to get Jim Jones on there to get him hot But you don't know you don't know not you gotta check the podcast You're dealing with the wrong one bro Nobody want to go to club say say nobody won't buy no VIP tickets to that
Starting point is 01:13:52 You can't hear him because Shannon Trump is yelling over him, but he said he can't even he said, oh, Joe, he can't even name a song. I believe you can't really hear, but it's in there. It ended on a good note, though. They wrapped it up kind of positive where you they were like, you know, people gonna make this a thing, but it's just us be just talking to be talking music. So, yeah, I don't think it's gonna be a thing because then after I seen Jim working out, throwing some more shots at him. So I think it's a little more feelings got into both on both sides. Challenging to get in the gym, then they start having a gym challenge conversation like the physical gym, you know,
Starting point is 01:14:18 so that's like the barbershop. We go to barbershop. You talk about one thing and then all of a sudden it turns into a fight later on. I don't know what y'all thought about. That's like the barbershop we go to barbershop y'all talk about one thing and then all of a sudden it turns into a fight later on Yeah, I don't know what y'all thought about that's what I see I'm not JZ, no whole hasn't been on it. No is he ain't been on nothing I like the conversation I do I do like the aggressiveness. I love the fact that they I just want to see them rap I love rapping rappers, but we'll see but thank you. That's the latest with Lauren. That's all I'm I yes We're giving a donkey to man for after the hour. There's a 21 year old named Angel Montana As he needs to come to the front of the congregation

Over the past six years of making my true crime podcast hell and gone, I've learned
Starting point is 01:18:51 one thing. No town is too small for murder. I'm Katherine Townsend. I've received hundreds of messages from people across the country begging for help with unsolved murders. I was calling about the murder of my husband at the cold case. I've never found her and it haunts me to this day. The murderer is still out there.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Every week on Hell and Gone Murder Line, I dig into a new case, bringing the skills I've learned as a journalist and private investigator to ask the questions no one else is asking. Police really didn't care to even try. She was still somebody's mother. She was still somebody's daughter. She was still somebody's daughter. She was still somebody's sister.
Starting point is 01:19:27 There's so many questions that we've never gotten any kind of answers for. If you have a case you'd like me to look into, call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. Listen to Hell and Gone Murder Line on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, you are a donkey.

Now that's a name that'll alert ICE.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Now listen, this man was born in 2004. I got a rule. I don't argue with people who were born the same year Kanye West's college dropout was released. Okay. I'm not going back and forth with anybody who was born the same year TI dropped his third out merging urban legend. How do I look debating somebody who just entered the world the year Luda Wayne dropped the card a 1?
Starting point is 01:20:36 There is nothing to be gained by that conversation. There is also a theory that youngins that age don't want to work. That youngins that age have a sense of entitlement. That youngins that age don't want to work. Okay, that youngins that age have a sense of entitlement, that youngins that age want things handed to them. Well, Angel didn't disprove any of that, okay? In fact, Angel might be exhibiting on why a lot of that is probably true. Let's go to ABC 13 Eyewitness News for the report, please.
Starting point is 01:20:57 Breaking overnight, the man investigators say murdered his roommate rather than pay rent is under arrest. Harris County Sheriff's Office says that Angel Gomez Montanez was safely taken into custody. No other details published about this. Montanez is charged with the murder of Christopher Rodriguez Lara, Lara's mother, telling ABC 13 that Montanez had been living with the family for free for about three months. When she started to ask him to start contributing, she says Montanez shot and killed her son Thursday outside the apartment on Butte Creek Road
Starting point is 01:21:29 in North Harris County. Rest in peace to 18 year old Christopher Lara. You did not deserve that. This young man, Angel Montanez, was offered a place on this apartment's couch for three months. Three months you didn't have to contribute to no bills. Okay, no rent, no nothing, just freeloading your monkey ass off. And then when you were told this can't be happening, we have bills to pay,
Starting point is 01:21:55 you decided to shoot and kill 18 year old Christopher Lara. This is why you have to avoid unhappy, unlucky, miserable souls, okay? This young 18 year old living his best life with his family, an angel who has family ties with them, decided to smoke him for no other reason than his feelings were hurt. He also tried to shoot the victim's brother.
Starting point is 01:22:16 That's what a nine year old witness reportedly heard the suspect say, I'm gonna kill all of them. Here's the thing, if you can come up with a plan to commit a murder, then you can come up with a plan to commit a murder, then you can come up with a plan to get a job. Okay, 21 years old, living rent free for three months. Do you know what kind of blessing that is? Everybody out there listening to me right now,
Starting point is 01:22:36 just imagine the kind of cushion you could have for yourself if you didn't have to pay any bills. Not one, but three months? Let me tell you, freeloaders out there, if somebody is blessing you with the opportunity to pay any bills, not one, for three months? Let me tell you freeloaders out there, if somebody is blessing you with the opportunity to not have to pay any bills for any amount of time, please find a way to make that person's life easier.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Young man, your name is Angel Gomez-Montanez. I know you had the urge to do some lawn work, okay? It's in you, all right? I know you wanted to cut to do some lawn work. Okay? It's in you. All right? I know you wanted to cut some grass, trim some hedges, find a cabinet to fix, okay? There's gotta be a pipe clogged up somewhere. There was something you could have been doing
Starting point is 01:23:15 in that apartment to make things easier for the people you was freeloading off. This is why we can't get rid of Job Corps. No, no, no. Okay, the streets need it. Young men like this don't have nothing else to do. Can't find a job? Job Corps would be perfect for him.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Let him go to Job Corps, learn a trade, get his GED diploma and go out there and have some money to pay his own bills. Now look, kids nowadays don't wanna work is a broad generalization, okay? I don't even believe it. Okay, I know plenty of young hustling ass kids, but these young kids will kill you
Starting point is 01:23:46 It's not a generalization. Okay, these youngins is crazy. All right I know the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully develop until the age of 25, but my god, all right Angel you would have never survived in those scrubs era He would have been in the passenger side of his best friend's ride letting off shots All right? But guess what Angel? All that was from, you know, all that was a challenge from your family, okay?
Starting point is 01:24:14 When somebody says, yo, you need to go get a job to help pay some bills, that means you need to get up, get out and get something, okay? That's why they was encouraging you to do that. That's all they wanted. But now you don't have to worry about room and board anymore because you got a murder charge. Okay, in Texas you going to jail for 99 years of life and you will have to get a job young man. Okay, food service, laundry, maintenance, furniture manufacturing.

Starting point is 01:25:22 Okay, all right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir Now let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight85-1051, B. Simone was on her podcast and she was talking about how because of her financial situation now. She's not shopping at Bloomingdale's anymore, she's shopping at H&M. Let's listen. This is hilarious. I feel like there's been so much financial,
Starting point is 01:25:42 just my finances, like the budgeting, you see how I am, nitpicking every little thing. I've never been like that. We were in Bloomingdale's yesterday. I'm like, we have to go to H&M. And I notice it in me now, just nitpicking. And it's not even, I just don't have it. And because I've invested in this app, in this platform, I don't have the liquid, I got the money.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Not yet. Not yet, it's coming. I have it in assets, I have it in jewelry, I have it in, you know, but it's like the liquid. I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account. Girl, I got H&M jeans on right now. Literally right now I got H&M jeans on, okay? And a whole bunch of H&M stuff that you're taking back.
Starting point is 01:26:27 Last week I was in France for business at Cannes or Cannes or whatever. Everything I took was from H&M and Zara. What are you talking about? So what is the question? What do we ask people today? 800-585-1051. You'll be looking good up in that H&M. You see what I'm saying? So what is the question? Is shopping at H&M and stores like that, is that a bad thing? Is that what we're asking?
Starting point is 01:26:48 No, no, that's not a bad thing. That's the only thing. Only thing right now. That is the question. 800, 585, 105, 100. This is some of the things I don't understand. Like, with the price of everything going up. And it's fine to have a couple of nice pieces
Starting point is 01:27:00 if that's what you're into. But when we got to this place where you can only wear things once and you got, that's trash and wack. H&M and Zara is high end to me, okay. I'm Marshall's, alright. Before y'all was boycottin' Target, I get all my t-shirts from Target. What are y'all talkin' about?
Starting point is 01:27:16 Zara is definitely high end. It's high as hell, high in price, high. And not for nothing, Zara's prices went up. Yes they did. Zara's prices went up. Zara was a not for nothing, Zara's prices went up. Yes they did. Zara's prices went up. Zara was a lot cheaper before. Zara's prices went up. You want to see your tag?
Starting point is 01:27:28 I got $56 linens. Okay? Okay, see that's a linen bag. $56? Yeah, $56. Taking it back. Left the tag on, damn it. You're a bird, yo.
Starting point is 01:27:36 You are a bird. You are a bird. 800-585-1051. Is shopping at stores like H&M and Zara a bad thing? I mean you seen her crying and she seemed distraught that she couldn't go to Bloomingdale's. That is the question. Now, well you got damn, not a 9-5 either. She ain't doing them.
Starting point is 01:27:57 Don't even play with her like that. Listen, no, you gotta really still think about where she was, right? Because she used to ball out in Balenciaga she used to ball out in Blanadale she used to be able to do that now to go from that and now you walk in there you like ah we gotta go to forever 21 or we gotta go to city transit we gotta go to H&M that's different for you so for her that's different. I don't feel sorry for her. I'm not saying.
Starting point is 01:28:23 We should feel sorry but I'm saying we gotta. And B These some only got no kids I could tell right That stops early when you start having kids and you start seeing college and you start seeing activities You'd be like man. Just give me a white t-shirt crying over H&M. How let's listen Who do when we come back Like that H&M makes you cry Right now probably okay. what are you talking about? It's the Breakfast Club go board it. Pull out your phone.
Starting point is 01:28:51 Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. If I have the means to do it, I will buy it. If I don't at the time, I will still buy something cheap and I will still look just as good if
Starting point is 01:29:14 I put on something very expensive. I will say this though Jess, Charlamagne bought some stuff off of T-Mobile and I tried to buy some stuff off of T-Mobile and the pockets was in wrong places. It's different. There was supposed to be cargo pants, and it wasn't cargo, there wasn't the right sound, like a Gordica Trell. You gotta read the reviews,
Starting point is 01:29:31 and all the vendors on there are not trustworthy. You gotta read the reviews. First of all, I love them cargoes I bought from Timo. Them cargoes was 9.99, and I didn't care about the pockets, because I grew up on Gordon Gar-Trell's. So for me, I felt like I had designs that nobody else had. You ain't gonna never shame me because I love I love shopping at places like Walmart and you know Target before the boycott and Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Zara and H&M is high
Starting point is 01:29:55 into me. But when I went to France last week, you couldn't tell me I wasn't doing it. And my H&M linens for $5757. And bought $2,500 bottles. And left a tag on them to take them back. Don't know why you did that. That was stupid. Right, but I don't think we're missing anything. I just think that B. Simone wants us to like, look at it from her perspective, right?
Starting point is 01:30:19 Like she was at one point only wearing and shopping and playing with his playbugs. People can't afford eggs right now, and juice and rinse. Right, right. Let's go to the phone line. Yeah, we don't relate to you. With juice and rinse. Right, right. Let's go to the phone line. We're not missing anything.
Starting point is 01:30:28 She's missing something. She's missing it because what Jessa is true, I just want to know who this B. Simone playing to get sympathy from. Like, are you crying over H&M? H&M, we love H&M. Like, that's what we do. Maybe other celebrities can relate to her. I'd gather.
Starting point is 01:30:42 Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Tracy. Tracy? Yes. Hey Tracy. How are you? What do you think? Uh to be some more comment? Yeah That's right, you're right People, if people get snatched up on a live, if we worried about we can't shop at Bloomey's, really? Yeah. You absolutely right.

Starting point is 01:31:19 It's like, you going to blow a bag on a bag, and you can even put $20 in it. Like, what's the point? Like, for you to show off? Like, no, she a bag on a bag, you can even put $20 in it. Like what's the point? Like for you to show off? Like no, she better go on BHK and get it all the knockoffs. You know, we love to spend money to impress people that we don't even know. Which I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:31:37 I don't understand people that would rather look like money than actually having money, but. Have money, exactly, there's no point. To show it off and you only gonna wear one. you said uncle Charlotte take that back I got a bunch of H&M and Zara stuff right now you can go on my Instagram I posted it last night yeah I got the tags still on it because I'm taking it back so what are we talking about and that's I think they came from a TN MSR I love H&M and Zara but I'm still taking it back. I want them $56 back
Starting point is 01:32:08 Thank you for calling Girl yes And if you went over there and all that stuff and took your pictures you ain't gonna wear no more That's right. Good morning. Who's this? What up Chris, how are you? What's good, man? What up? What'd you dig a B Simone's comments? Oh man Like that's petty stuff now. I just want to shut out my white stuff. Love his art design. She's a wedding coordinator. She does live-size feet and chart.
Starting point is 01:32:38 She do table numbers. Does she make clothes? Huh? Does she make clothes? She make H&M, H&M. Okay. Okay. I was born in the projects in Brownsville. I was just happy to be in the projects. I was just happy to be in the projects. I was just happy to be in the projects. I was just happy to be in the projects. I was just happy to be in the projects.
Starting point is 01:33:01 I was just happy to be in the projects. I was just happy to be in the projects. She's crying about, you know, petty stuff, man. We got people out here dying from hunger. I understand. I was just, I was born in the projects in Brownsville. I was just happy to get up out of that. You know what I mean? I was crying every day to get out of that, you know? Listen, I've been unemployed four times.
Starting point is 01:33:17 I done collected unemployment checks. So when you ask me why I'm taking back the H&M and Zara stuff that I wore last week in France, that's why, because every penny counts. And maybe that's just my own trauma, but listen. Oh wow. I don't play them games at all. Call us right now 1-800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:33:34 What do you think of B. Simone's comments as The Breakfast Club? The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious. We are discussing B. Simone's comment that she made recently in regards to H&M. Let's listen.
Starting point is 01:33:53 I feel like there's been so much financial, just my finances, like the budgeting. You see how I am nitpicking every little thing. I've never been like that. We were in Bloomingdale's yesterday. I'm like, we have to go to H&M. And I notice it in me now, just nitpicking. And it's not even, I just don't have it like, and because I've invested in this app, in this platform, I don't have the liquid, not the money.
Starting point is 01:34:24 Not yet. It's coming. I have't have the liquid. I got the money. Not yet. Not yet, it's coming. I have it in assets, I have it in jewelry, I have it in, you know, but it's like the liquid. I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account. I don't have any sympathy for, none whatsoever. I understand. Because I love H&M, you know,
Starting point is 01:34:38 and I literally got on H&M jeans right now. And I got a whole bag of H&M and Zara stuff that I wore last week when I was in France. To me, that's fancy. Wearing H&M and Zara is fancy. And guess what? I left the tags on it. Cause I'm taking it back.
Starting point is 01:34:54 It is going back today. So I don't know who B. Simone is planning to get sympathy from. And you know what's so crazy to me, Just? We, the people are the reason that we're in the positions that we're in. Yeah. And she's a stand up comic, right?
Starting point is 01:35:09 Yes, she is. If your audience feels like they can't relate to you in no way, shape or form, and they feel like you look down upon them because- You don't lose them. Because, exactly. Like, damn, B, like why did she even put that out? Because there shouldn't be a disconnect at all.
Starting point is 01:35:21 No. And working hard people, like people that work hard and buy tickets They're the ones that that we need You know what I'm saying? We need them to keep buying tickets and to keep supporting us and to keep streaming our Podcasts and things like that. So working-class people. So it's like what are you willing to sacrifice now for your future? I'm sorry. You can't shop at Bloomingdale's's right now and I'm sorry H&M makes you cry. I understand. I just think that she was trying to get sympathy or not. I think it was a conversation between her and her former best friend or whatever and yeah she did put that out. She put it out herself. There ain't really much I can say about that after she put it out.
Starting point is 01:36:02 I just think that she didn't expect this response and I think other celebrities are probably who she would be trying to relate to I guess. I think she need to grab her fan and put her boots on the ground because if you don't humble yourself, God will. Yeah. Let's go to the phones. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning. It's the dog, Marilyn. Oh, El. How are you, sir? What's up? I'm doing well, how are you? What do you think of B. Simone's comments? My first initial thought is you gotta be trolling, and maybe that's a no, but then if you're not, that's what you call first world problems.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Because, for example, you can't shop at Bloomingdale's, which I don't think most of them ever used to shop there, unless it's like for a special event. But it made me think of what Taraji said last week about more money, more issues, because that's not something that's telling me. So I think she's trolling. But I feel that though,
Starting point is 01:36:54 because depending on what you have, like I was also thinking about 50, son. Like there was people complaining about what he was getting, but once you're used to something, I guess it'll be hard to go to something that's not what you're in. But we don't care Yeah, like you know, hey people I can barely can afford groceries people out here struggling to pay rent
Starting point is 01:37:11 We don't care that you can't shop at Bloomingdale no more Well, have a great day my brother good morning who's this What's up tape what you think of B Simone's comments? I would not be that type. She shouldn't do that. Be that way, but she's smart. And I think she'll learn how to pivot. Hopefully, she'll try to talk to her,
Starting point is 01:37:33 and she'll realize she could just set her down and don't worry about that, really. Because I'm a all-in-the-city trend girl. I make the clothes. The clothes don't make me. There you go. So I'm a girl with a white t-shirt and some cute little jeans. And I'm all right. Long as my money straight. That's all I see. Now you're talking. I'd rather actually have it than
Starting point is 01:37:50 look like I got it. Yeah. Yeah. I count your blessings. It all come like it's coming the way it's supposed to come. Everything's gonna fall in place just the way it's supposed to. Yeah. You just be a little patient and it should be okay.

I'm journalist Jeff Perlman, and this is Rick Jervis. We were interns at the Nashville Tennessean, but the most unforgettable part?
Starting point is 01:41:23 Our roommate, Reggie Payne, from Oakley, sports editor and aspiring rapper. And his stage name? Sexy Sweat. In 2020, I had a simple idea. Let's find Reggie. We searched everywhere, but Reggie was gone. In February, 2020, Reggie was having a diabetic episode.
Starting point is 01:41:44 His mom called 911. Police cuffed him face down. He slipped into a coma and died. I'm like thanking you, but then I see my son's not moving. No headlines, no outrage, just silence. So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to Finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I
Starting point is 01:42:27 Want to get to see Martin There Okay, I got a small idea I think y'all should do like clippers and I want to Friday or something just small because of the stuff that I can hear We thought y'all just think a little funny things and you get somebody calling in the day or something doing a little small little clipping, because I just be taking about a little thing and y'all just stand up though. And I say that to be, you gotta be there.
Starting point is 01:42:52 Yeah, that's hilarious. That's why we do it. It's called Weekend with the Breakfast Club. And it's like a condensed version of the show from the week. It's been airing, you know, about 12 years now. Yeah, I'm trying to get down for production, y'all. Can y'all call me? But for real, I got some good ideas.
Starting point is 01:43:08 We need y'all. I'm serious. OK. Look, give me information on that, too, y'all. I told her the lie. I'm telling you. I'm a good thing. Well, we're going to put you on hold, OK?
Starting point is 01:43:18 OK. Yeah. All right, have a good day. Yo, what I think is crazy, because yeah, B. Simone is my friend, right? What I think that she just, she chose to make that decision to put that out, there's so many other things that she could have cried about, man. She could have cried about helping her family, like being the only one.
Starting point is 01:43:37 Braylon is like the only one who actually made it in our family. It was taking care of our family for years, you know, between our grandmother, her sister, you know, her dad and everything like that. So she could have been up there crying about that and just, you know, and the things that she's gone through over the years with her former manager, taking all that money out her pocket like that, man, like she's been like going through things with people that work for her, people turn around, stab her in the back. Like you chose to talk about, cry about the wrong thing that she was going to put out to people.
Starting point is 01:44:10 We could sympathize with those things. I don't know if she buried that stuff because it triggers her or whatever, but she could have talked about the real things that make her as resilient as she is. She went through a lot financially and I don don't know why Bloomingdale's is just the straw, you know what I'm saying? I respect her feelings. I respect what she's going through, but you know, that's life. You got to be willing to sacrifice things now for your future.
Starting point is 01:44:34 Yeah. But I ain't crying over no damn H&M because I love H&M. Why she make it seem like H&M is just the bottom of the browser. I know. Oh my God, now I got to go to H&M. Girl, what? I got on H&M jeans right now. That's my first thought. She said. We gotta go someplace fancy. Right.
Starting point is 01:44:51 Are we going to KS? Shoo, we're going to H&M. And I'm taking everything back, soon as I get back. And then she said it like a voice crack too. You know what I mean? On that part she was like, first of all, what you doing to Bloomingdale? You know your bank account was where it sat. Then you said, oh, we to go to H&M.
Starting point is 01:45:05 You know, so maybe she was buying things for other people. Yeah, I don't know. Ain't nothing in Blumendales for me. You know, I got in trouble with, Envy told the story earlier, but one time somebody bought me some jeans from Blumendales and them things was too expensive. Well, I'm one time kept the tag on,
Starting point is 01:45:20 got on the radio, say how I was taking them back. They didn't want to take them back because I talked about it on the radio. They had no choice because it was on the, that tag was was still on and I had to receive take these damn games back You damn right Goddamn, I ain't been to bloomingdale since I got no business in no damn bloomingdale. Ain't nothing there for me. Yeah, everything too expensive Damn. All right, let's get to the latest with lauren Lauren becoming a straight face
Starting point is 01:45:42 She gets into somebody that knows somebody she gets know a girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on the latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club? Talk to me. All right, y'all. So we are in the final stretch when it comes to Diddy's trial. There could be, and this is hopeful, not hopeful because it's a crazy situation, but this is a people being fast on the timeline. There could be a verdict reached this week in the trial.
Starting point is 01:46:16 That's why the defense had to present their side. So listen, so on Friday, one of the final witnesses, his name was Brendan Paul, he's the guy that everyone was saying or alleging was the drug mule of Diddy's. Him and there's one other verifying witness that will get on the stand. Those are the final two witnesses for the prosecution and they were done with him. Now the prosecutors told the judge on Friday after everything with their witness that they could potentially rest their case today.
Starting point is 01:46:41 Now if they rest their case today, Diddy's attorney Mark Agnifilio told the judge that the defense could potentially rest their case as early as Wednesday. Now, if this timeline goes as planned, that means closing arguments would happen Thursday, and if closing arguments happen that day, the jury would then begin to deliberate. Now, the jury has up until the July 4th holiday to deliberate, but the judge judge has been very vocal about we don't want to be in here after the holiday We want to get this done before the holiday and the jurors are regular people like us I'm sure they want their holiday. So a lot of people think how do you say that? How do you like it's almost like you're forcing the jury to make a verdict like hey, we got I got plans for 4th of July So y'all better be up out of here before 4th of July. Don't that sound crazy?
Starting point is 01:47:24 somebody's life? I mean, to each his own opinion, but the judge has been vocal about staying on the timeline. He has kept this timeline, even down to, you know, court getting out earlier as the weeks transition and things of that nature. And none of the attorneys have complained. If they've needed more time for things or whatever, they've said it. Yeah, but so yes, the jury deliberation could go up until the July 4th, but people are pretty hopeful that, not hopeful, but people are assuming that it could end way before that,
Starting point is 01:47:53 that it could end as early as early next week, possibly this week. Does the case start back today? Yes. The court is literally starting right now and they're going to be ending with those final witnesses on the prosecution side and then defense will start. So this week, Monday through Thursday, are really important to see when the verdict comes and when these things will or will not happen. And we don't know if Diddy is going to take the stand at all.
Starting point is 01:48:15 We still don't know. We still do not know that. They normally what will happen is like the defense will start because they have to, you know, you have to let the court know what you're planning to do. So they should begin having conversations today about who and if anyone they plan upon understanding how they plan to do these things. So that'll come. I broke this down in the podcast the latest with Lauren LaRosa Friday when I left court
Starting point is 01:48:33 after Brendan Paul spoke out about not being an alleged drug mule. There was some texts from Cassie that were entered into evidence on Friday. And each text was crazy. One of the texts said, from Cassie to Diddy, it said, you treat me like a hooker, to be honest. You always want to call one, and you have one. This hooker has been here for 10 years, and in the text that they showed on the screen,
Starting point is 01:48:54 Diddy responded, wow. And these are other evidence that the prosecution is entering that they're gonna send our conversation around. Yeah, so we should be knowing some things soon. I don't know why you don't take the stand. Take the stand, throw yourself on the mercy of the court, because everybody forgets in the beginning of this trial,
Starting point is 01:49:12 his lawyers did concede to a lot of the conduct, right? Yes. They said that. Oh yeah. They were like, we concede to a lot of the conduct, but we're just trying to say that a lot of the conduct was consensual and nobody was coerced. So why wouldn't you just get on the stand
Starting point is 01:49:24 and like just, man tell your truth. Whatever that truth may be. Whether it was drugs, whether it was ego, whether it was power tripping, like whatever it was just tell your truth. Throw yourself on the mercy of God. But also if he did something illegal he doesn't want to lie on that stand
Starting point is 01:49:38 when they ask him if he did do something that was illegal or not, you know, against the rules. So he doesn't want to lie and hurt himself. They kind of already proved that. I mean, cause you only gotta prove two predicates, right, when it's a RICO case. The bringing prostitutes in from out of state, that's been proven. For the most part, right? So my point is, when the lawyer said, we concede to some of the conduct, what is the conduct they've already conceded to? Because clearly they've already conceded that some of the stuff he's guilty of.
Starting point is 01:50:00 Well, they, in the defense's opening statements, they conceded to Diddy being a horrible person and character and they said if this was a domestic violence case, he would be guilty of that type of assault. They didn't concede to him doing all the things that the government alleged. Yeah, they didn't concede to anything he's being charged with. They tried to separate. Yeah, go ahead, Envy. Yeah, no, I was going to say they didn't concede to anything he's being charged with.
Starting point is 01:50:21 They just said, yeah, he's a bad person. This was domestic violence. But he didn't concede to the prostitute stuff. He didn't concede to the RICO. He didn't concede to anything he's being charged with. They just said, yeah, he's a bad person. This was domestic violence. But he didn't concede to the prostitute stuff. He didn't concede to the Rico. He didn't concede to the drug scene. They tried to make it more lifestyle, and this is just how he lives his life, which has been the conversation. Is this a sexual preference conversation,
Starting point is 01:50:35 or is this a enterprise, a trafficking ring of things? Like, that's what they tried to do. They didn't concede, though. And you know, people normalize things so much that you forget that what, or you may never have even known that what you're doing is an actual crime. I've been thinking so much about that and hearing these testimonies. Like there's a lot of things that I'm like, oh wow, I wonder if he even in doing it knew. Because he's texting a lot of these things. There were also texts entered between, allegedly between them, Diddy, Cassie.
Starting point is 01:51:01 They're trying to figure out a situation with one of the escorts and they're talking about flying them in, they're getting his information and you know, all these things. And I'm like, wow, I wonder how they have that conversation as a defense because what did he actually know in doing this that he was, did he know he was committing a crime? Let me tell you, I've been flew out so many times. I did not know that I was trafficked. Where you're giving money when you leave. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:51:23 You know what I mean? I mind you this. Yes, I was getting money. I'm not going to fly away for free. You know what I mean? I'm not going to fly away for free. You know what I mean? So I didn't know. I don't know about that. I'm just saying if you're bringing in prostitutes, that is actually illegal. Well, yes. Take a listen to the latest with Lauren LaRosa, the podcast guys, because we broke it down
Starting point is 01:51:39 and I'll break it down more after today. But really quick as we wrap, I did want to take some time to shout out Jason Lee and Hollywood Unlocked they did their 5th annual Impact Awards over the weekend in LA you know Kiki Palmer was honored Don Lemon was honored Fantasia Vic Mensa Tiffany Haddish hosted and a lot of beautiful black people oh my god there were so many big names there they did a mic pass Kiki Palmer sung Yolanda Adams sung Yolanda Adams actually spoke some life into Jason Lee. Let's play that audio as we wrap.
Starting point is 01:52:08 What God is entrusting in your hands is something so special. Don't let anybody with agendas come in and erase what your heart designer told the Lord you wanted to do years ago. You know what you and God are talking about in your private time? It's manifesting. It's manifesting. There are very few people who can get Hollywood,
Starting point is 01:52:36 sports, corporate America, and just regular average people who love God all together. That anointing is on you. That's why God had to change the direction of everything that was going on. Jason Lee doesn't get enough credit for what he's built with the Hollywood Unlocked Awards because you think about all of the platforms that existed before Hollywood Un Hollywood unlocked and had the cache to do that but didn't. For him to actually have the idea to do it and execute it and it's become so you know culturally relevant in such a short period of time. Drop one of those bombs for Jason Lee.
Starting point is 01:53:16 Absolutely. We always talk about what we should be doing. We should be building our own awards and all that type of stuff. He actually went to go do it so yeah shout out to the Impact Awards. And then not only that like you said Jess he did it and then he flipped it and then jumped into politics and then started building up his own community so salute to Jason Lee man. He actually been doing it all at the same time which is actually more in practice. Jason Leo get up there and shave somebody and then go be passing legislation and stuff at the same day.
Starting point is 01:53:42 And then get the biggest names in Hollywood to show up to an award ceremony. I wish you would tell me what I can't do. God damn it.
