Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. Good morning. Good morning. And listen, man, smooth to everybody waking up this morning. Grateful for life. But thinking about their cholesterol, okay? Now, as a person who takes satin every day, I was on the elevator coming up,

and I saw a video that said, A bowl of oatmeal a day will keep your LDL cholesterol low. And I said to myself, I never knew that. But that's what I eat for breakfast every morning. And when you get to my age, 47 years old, those are the things we think about and you know what those are good problems to have you know why? Why? Because you're still alive to have.

That's right. That's true. That's right. My cholesterol is good and my blood pressure is amazing. Thank God. Blood pressure is amazing. I have one of those at the house. That's another thing too. When you born in 1979, you got to keep a little blood pressure machine at the house just in case. Just in case. I'm telling you, man, people are passing away from heart attacks and strokes younger and younger now. So you just got to keep a high blood pressure thing at the house just in case. Yes. Just in case.

Have you been following this Nancy Guthrie? story? I keep seeing it pop up on my TV, but I have no idea what's going on. I just know the names, Nancy Guthrie and Savannah Guthrie. I don't know what's going on. I'm kind of like you, but it's been popping up so much. I want to know, like, there's a kidnapping, there's a ransom note, there was blood found. Like, this is like a lifetime movie.

I'll catch it on a true crime podcast in the future. It might be, what's going on? I don't know. I don't know. I'm saying in the future, maybe this is the future. I don't know. How long ago did this happen? It's happened a couple days ago. This lady, I guess her mother got, they believed kidnapped, and there's a ransom note,

and they found blood. in the house and now they're trying to figure out who done it. Yeah, God bless them, man. Lauren Lorraine the Rosa came in the office the other day and was trying to tell me about it and I was like, I'm over here looking at my cholesterol. Could you talk about something else right now? Can you talk about something else, please?

Yeah, please. Yeah, I'm just curious about it. Anytime somebody gets kidnapped or something happens like that, I just want to know how it happened. It's too much going on in the world. It's too much going on in the world. It's interesting, though. I feel like I've been seeing them names for a long time, though. Nancy and Savannah got there. I feel like this happened a while ago. To them again?

I don't know the story. I just been popping up I just saw something The mama got taken or something like that The mama got taken that But I think she Oh the mama got kidnapped You know what

Don't quote me I don't know I don't know I was hoping that you do Who was that you could I have no idea But you don't know I don't

Not even a little bit Well let's get the show cracking La Russell will be joining us this morning My guy La Russell Now I know something about La Russell La Russell has launched The campaign to sell 100,000 copies of his album

Something's in the water And he's opening up The Super Bowl Tailgate concert This weekend And I love La Russell man My guy Hovain rest in peace to Hovane.

Hovane, a few years ago, told me to listen to this kid freestyle. And he sent me the record. It was called the, I think it was a 2021 freestyle. And I didn't listen to it at the time. And Hovane hit me back. I was like, I know you ain't listening to that freestyle. Because he knew if I heard it.

That's right. I would have been like, yo, who is this? Bay Area artists, he gets busy. He can spit and we're going to talk to him a little bit. All right. Well, let's get the show crack and Jess just walking. Hopefully, Jess didn't park in the middle of the street and block everybody again.

I don't know. Because she got up here too fast. Hey, I woke up this morning too, man. The good brother Nipsey Hustle was on my spirit. Dropping on the clues bonds for Nipsey Hustle. Long live Nip, man. What you want to hear? What you want to hear.

Turn it up a little bit. That's my motto always. It should be yours too. Hustle and Motivate you. I'm going to morning. Long live Nipsey Hustle, man. Absolutely. Hustle the Hover Way.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Salarious. Shulamine the guy, we are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Is that real tiger skin? What? Is that real tiger skin?

On your hat? In my hat? Yes. No. Okay. Just wondering. I will call Peter right now. Oh, my goodness.

All right. Well, the clip has traded James Hardin to the Cleveland Cavaliers. That's in exchange for Darrius Garland and a 2026 second round draft pick. Is that a good trade or bad trade? I have no idea. I could care less. James Hardin has been on six teams in his whole NBA career. It means nothing.

Kobe Bryant was absolutely right about James Hardin. You're never going to win a championship with that style of basketball. But Daris Garland, I mean, Cleveland, he was a big thing for Cleveland. Like, he was part of the debates when it came to Cleveland. I have no idea about anything. I'm not going to sit here and act like I know about anything going on Cleveland. He was. I'm just curious if Cleveland fans like it or hate it.

Anyway, what's up, Mimi? Good morning, NB. Jeff Chaldemand. How y'all doing this morning? Hey, girl. Good morning. So we start this morning with some relief on Capitol Hill. A government shutdown has been avoided, at least for now.

This is after lawmakers approved a short-term funding bill. So President Trump, he signed a bill ending that partial government shutdown, reopening most federal agencies after days of disruption. Now, the House, they narrowly passed the bill Tuesday after the Senate approved it last week. It funds major parts of the government, including defense, education, transportation, and health and human services through the end of the fiscal year, which is in September. But this is only a short-term fix. Congress now has just 10 days to prevent another government shutdown. This one, though, focused entirely on the Department of Homeland Security.

And right now, there's little confidence that this deal can be done. Let's listen to Speaker Mike Johnson. Of the demands that were made, the requests that were made, many of those are already being implemented. You notice that they're going to have the body cameras. We put $20 million additional dollars in this legislation. These are good things. The roving patrols will be modified. Remember, we did front-load the funding for Immigration's Customs Enforcement and CBP in the Big Beautiful Bill.

So they have enough funding to go for the next few years. So what they will be tying up if the Democrats choose to close the government is, these very essential services for everything else. FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA, and other aspects of national security. So it's a very dangerous game that they're playing. Why have this fight happening in every couple of weeks? Mimi? It's happening every couple of weeks because they cannot agree on an overall spending package.

And so they're piecemilling it together just to get by just a little bit. And so here we are. Again, we'll be back here in another two weeks. And then we'll be back here in September. So it just, you know, Republicans and Democrats, they just need to agree. on what should be in these packages to fund the government, but it just keeps changing with, you know, different bills that people keep introducing.

America is broke. What a poor-ass country living check to check. That's crazy. That's basically what we are doing, right? America is living check to check. When you put it like that, we are definitely living check to check. So while the lights are back on across most of the government today,

the clock is ticking toward the next deadline. So we'll see if that one happens within the next 10 days. Meanwhile, President Trump is again pushing for a much bigger federal role in how elections are running. This is coming as the 2026 midterm elections. They get closer. So in a podcast interview, Trump said Republicans should move to nationalize voting in parts of the country, arguing the federal government should have a bigger role. Let's take a listen to that. The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting and at least many 15 places.

The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. Once again, wiping his ass with the Constitution. Okay? That's that. I mean, like, why? Why nationalized the voting? Why do you think he wants to do that? You know, it's a really good question, and the White House was asked about that, and we're going to play that in just a second. But I just want to say that these comments come just days after the FBI.

They searched that election office in Fulton County. We talked about that last week. That was part of the Justice Department, their investigation, to the alleged voter fraud. Now, Fulton County, they have long said that they have been a part of Trump's false claims of that the 2020 election. They were rigged. They say that their elections were not rigged.

They were certified several times over and verified several times over. But Trump, he keeps, you know, coming back to Fulton County looking for those. I think it was about 12,000 votes. So he suggested that those court-ordered access to those ballots could reveal new findings. And so he took the ballots last week. Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, she confirmed that Trump personally directed her to travel to Atlanta and connect with FBI and involve him,

Trump himself in that case. That's according to sources familiar with the matter. And as you just said, traditionally, you know, our elections, they are state and local elections. They're not run by the federal government. Now, the White House, she was asked to clarify that, White House Secretary Caroline Levitt, what the president meant by that. Let's listen to what she had to say. What the president was referring

to is the SAVE Act. It provides very common sense measures for voting in our country, such as voter ID. To be clear, he does believe the state should oversee him. The president believes in the United States Constitution. However, he believes there has obviously been a lot of fraud and irregularities that have taken place in American elections. If you look at states like California or if you look at New York City, for example, non-citizens are allowed to vote. in elections, that just creates a system and electoral system that is absolutely ripe with fraud. And you cannot deny the fact that, unfortunately,

there are millions of people who have questions about that. Okay, so have they done any investigations to prove any of this fraud? Where are they getting this fraud? Exactly. Social media. Exactly. That is the question. Where are they getting these these quote, air quote, facts from? You know, so we will continue to watch

that. But now state officials, they're preparing for the possibility of federal involvement at polling places as we get closer to the midterm election. Oh, yeah. I saw Steve Bannon proposed yesterday that they should use ICE agents in elections. Like, they should have ICE agents at the polling places, which, I mean, anybody that was paying attention saw that coming a couple of weeks ago. I asked Governor Westmore that last week. Yeah. You know, you never know. You can take nothing off the table right now with the administration.

All right. Well, coming up at 7, a case involving Roblox and Snapchat that every parent needs to hear. But police say started as a chat online turned into something more serious. We'll talk about it in seven. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, hit us up now.

and I was wondering why the hell she was going the direction she was going. She wasn't on the wrong side? Maybe that wasn't her. I thought that was her. Oh my God. He thinks she is the dumbest person in the world. I do not think Lauren is the dumbest person in the world. Okay.

Just America. No, my goodness. There's you go. There's go. My girl. What's up, my niece? He said he did you. I do not think you're the dumbest person in the world.

I said he does not think you do that the dumbest person in the world. No, I did not. He said that he was driving in this morning and thought he saw you on driving down the wrong side of the damn street. I did not say the wrong side. I said, I wondered why you was going that direction. Oh. I feel like I passed you and you was going to that.

I was like, why you just didn't make the left turn, that's all. On what street was it? It wasn't you because you were pointing behind you. Oh, shoot, you stopped that CVS this morning to get some airings. Go ahead, Lauren. Lauren ain't no joke. Why you got that band on like you just left the club? Lauren ain't no joke.

We went to a premiere last night. You never took your band off? No. You didn't take a shot on? You went to go to relationship goals? Huh? That's relationship goals, right? Yes, and I saw Lala yesterday in person for the first time.

I mean, we saw the movie again because we saw the movie again because we watched it already, but it was my girl, that's family right there. That was my first time meeting her. We had a really great conversation. That's the first time meeting, Lala? If she made me feel good about doing this job and then I walk in here and you're angry. Look at Lala. Lala is family, okay? I love her. Yeah, she did. I loved

meeting her yesterday. Even though it was brief, it was a great interaction. Well, we got to lay this coming up. We do. We're going to talk about Nikki Minage some more because she has been a Trump supporter, and now she's telling us like for years. Behind the scenes, you got to break me down with all the stuff to kidnap and the ransom. I was telling up yesterday. Just into that, but

No, it's a whole thing. It's like not, it seems not real, but it's real. But it does seem like a lifetime movie. It does. It's a lot of twists and turns. It's crazy. All right. You're a twist and turn.

The way you're fighting to get that goddamn bracelet off. You should not be in the club no more if you can't even get the band off once you leave. It's not a club. I'm 30 plus. It's a prime premiere. Not a club now. Oh, you're right. All right.

Well, ladies with Lauren is up next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV. Jace LaRis. Shalameen the guy, we are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Hey, let me talk, L.L. Cube. Yeah, I'm not dumbering myself down. I'm being myself. That source is close. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Lauren. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that.

Take me through that. Where she's going? The latest with Lauren knows. Take me through that. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coolbe. Talk to me Hey y'all, good morning.

Good morning. I just want to say, thank you Netflix. They sent me some headphones. Uh-oh. And I can't get them to work yet, but I will be wearing them. I think it's because I was on air that day. And my headphones stopped working. They must have to know what you were struggling.

They must have to be struggling. And they're so fired or so knows. And I put my name on them so no one will take them out the studio. Did that be charged, maybe? I did charge it a little bit. We'll figure it out. I just wanted to say thank you to Netflix for sending those headphones. They want to make sure we can get this right.

All right. So let's get started. So, okay. We talked a little bit about this interview yesterday, but the full interview dropped last night. Nikki Minaj sat down with Katie Miller for the Katie Miller podcast. And she's just talking about her newfound Trump support. So I thought newfound. Nikki Minaj says that, you know, some time ago she had actually reached out to Trump before she went public about her support for him and had a conversation with him.

Let's take a listening. Have you ever spoken with President Trump? I have during the last campaign, he got on the phone. He was very easy to talk to Because I said, you know Everything I do I have to take an account for my fan base I said you know do you have a problem with the LGBT community

And I asked him if he had a problem with the Jewish committee And I asked him about Women's Rights and he gave me He gave me wonderful answers to all of them To where I knew that he respected me And he respected my fan base He just is an authentic human being. And it made me feel comfortable, but at that time, I didn't come out and endorse him.

I wish I did, though. Yeah, so a lot of people have been trying to figure out where, like, this Trump support has come from and what the timeline was. Yeah, because she used to criticize Donald Trump. Heavily. I was very surprised to hear in this interview when she said, like, you know, some time ago she decided to go on over to the other side. But, yeah, so she's clarifying that. Now, she also, too, because... She said in a rap that Donald Trump wanted to send her home.

That was at least a decade ago. Yeah, that was Island Girl. Now, she also talked a bit about... Because there's been a big conversation on, like, how was Nikki Minaj supporting Trump when a lot of her Barb community are a part of the LGBTQ community, right? So she has a conversation about where she stands on trans people

because she's gotten a lot of backlash for supporting. Let's take a listen. I personally don't have an issue with... with the trans part of the LGBT at all. I am the biggest advocate for adults being able to do whatever the heck they wanna do. They're adults, I don't care. I only mentioned something because when it comes to children,

I wouldn't even allow my 17 year old daughter to get breast implants. 99% of the parents would not let their 17 year old child get breast implants. So if you wanna let a child get breast implants, you're not gonna want them to have any kind of surgery because we all know the breast implants, The brain is not developed.

And we've heard about 19 times more likely to commit suicide. What more do you need to know that a child is 19 times more likely to commit suicide if they have a surgery before they're an adult? I mean, I can't act like she's not making sense right now. Yeah, she's made a sense. Totally understand that part. Well, she's, you know, there's more to this interview. You guys can check it out. It's now out in full.

But she just gives you kind of like she pulls back the layers of where she stands on a lot of. things and you know why she's donated money to certain places and all of that um now moving on in other news so i saw that sherry shepherd uh she finally spoke out on her cancellation via her instagram she did not do it via her show because she says that she has covid but she posted a lot of the support and we know we talked about yesterday the sherry shepherd's show has been canceled after four seasons uh seasons she says wow i am completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for me and the sherry show you might have noticed that yesterday and today i was struggling uh because i wasn't feeling up to speed. Well, it turns out I have COVID. As soon as I feel better and return to the show,

I will address all of the news that has come out. Until then, I'm truly grateful that Sherry has made such an impact on you, see you soon. I planned to go to the show today because I thought she was going to address it. I wanted to like see it. She's not going to, yeah, like, she has COVID, so that won't happen. How does that work though? Like, so who will be doing her show or it was just not? I don't know if they, like, pre-ticked, I don't know how that works. Yeah. Because I don't know. I don't know. From what I know, she shoots like two shows a day, too, so I don't know how they figured out when she's sick, but. I don't know the last time I heard somebody had COVID though.

Yeah. I don't even know last time I seen somebody take a test for COVID. Because they don't talk about it. But you think all these flu cases was just flu this year? Right. I just didn't hear you say it's the flu, but yeah, I haven't heard somebody say that they had actually COVID in a long time. Well, she feels better.

Same as well. And I'll keep you guys updated there. Now, real quick this morning, I heard you guys, speaking to talk about. Yes, tell us. I heard you guys talk about Savannah Gunthrey. Now, who is Savannah Gunthrey? So she is one of the anchors on the Today Show. Okay.

And so news broke over the weekend that her mom was, missing. Now, it started out as her mom. Her mom is 84 years old. It started out as her mom is missing. And then on Sunday, a family member called police because they still couldn't figure out where she was. And then it escalated to now

homicide detectives are involved. And they believe that they think, they're not for sure, that she was taken out of her home at some point. They're not for sure if it was out of her bed. Original report said that her mom was taken out of her bed and that they were looking at local sex offenders and local cameras. and cameras from her home trying to figure it out.

But police are saying that they're not for sure whether or not she was taking out of bed, but they are confirming that this is now a crime scene. And it's not just a missing person because of things that they found in the home that were concerning when they went into the home. So this is now a crime scene? So is it true that they asked for a ransom?

I thought I read some way that somebody asked for. I have audio. So TMZ received a ransom letter. Let's take a listen to TMZ. It's written like a ransom note for Savannah Guthrie's mother. Specific. And they're very certain amounts of money. Very specific. There are certain things they're saying about what she was wearing and damage to the house.

That they're clearly saying to verify that. It's us. We know what we're talking about here. So we've contacted the sheriff's department. Again, we don't know if it's authentic or not. Then there's a dollar demand and an or else in there. Now, it's not like an inside job. Yeah.

It's a little crazy. Well, her net worth is $40 million. So she has, she had, she. And there are like multiple, I guess, ransom notes that are popping up now because the sheriff's department had to actually issue a statement saying that they're aware of the reports circulating about ransom

notes with an S. The one that was sent to TMZ, they say that they're asking for a number in the millions in exchange for Nancy Guthrie, who was Savannah Gunthry's mom. They were also saying that it's imperative that they find her soon because she has

medicine that she needs to take her. She was crazy. Jenna Bush went on her show who's a friend of Savannah Gunther. She's another talk show host and she said, look, she has medications that she takes daily that she can't survive with.

Like, it's important that we find her. She can't survive without. And there's also been reports too that her pacemaker had like stop kind of like, I guess it was connected to an Apple Watch reportedly and there's like no signs there. And you know, at this point all Savannah can say

is like please pray, please. You know, if you have any information, please reach out. Well, it sounds like an inside job but I will say if it's not What makes them believe they're going to get away with something like that in 2006? Like whoever came up with that idea is going to prison.

You're not kidnapping somebody's mother and holding them for ransom and getting away with that, especially as someone as high profile as Savannah Guthrie. And if they ask them for Bitcoin, they also must believe that Bitcoin isn't traceable. That's crazy. Yeah. I hope they find her mother and I hope they get it back safely.

As has to be a nightmare for her. Of course, she dropped out of the coverage for the Winter Olympics too when all of this started. But I can't imagine. Where do they live? Her mom lives in Arizona. Yeah, she lives in Arizona. Yes.

Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Inalec, Lamoma. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. have both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale.

In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Almermata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior, and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

Listen to the A-building on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Back, we got front-page news, and then LaRusser will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back on some front-page news. All right, now the clip is traded James Hardin to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Darius Garland and a 2026 second round draft pick. I got to call Andrew Madison's fiancé.

He's a huge capitalist fan. I just wonder if this is a good trade because people say Hardin bounces from teams to team to team. He's been on six teams his whole career. This is a six team and I forgot how many years. I wonder if this is a good trade for the time. It is really good, though, right? Yes, he is.

But you're not going to ever win a championship with James Hardin style of basketball. Kobe Bryant said that a long time ago, and God bless the day, Kobe Bryant was absolutely right because he ain't sniffed an NBA final. I don't even think he's, I think he's been to the Western Conference Finals one time in his whole career. Like, you're not going nowhere with James Hart.

Man. Well, what's up, Mimi? Good morning, Envi, Jess. How are you doing this morning? Bejew me, me. Good morning. So we start this hour with the warning for parents about how quickly online games can turn into real world danger. So two sisters in Florida, just 12 and 15 years old, they have been found safe after police say they were kidnapped by a man they met while playing roadblocks.

What? Now, if you're a parent, I'm sure you know this game very well. Yes. Investigators say the conversation later moved to Snapchat where a 19-year-old man allegedly spent months gaining the girl's trust. Now, family members told police they noticed red flags, including unexpected gifts showing up at the home, food delivery, showing up at the home. Authorities say the suspect, he drove more than 1,500 miles and drove nearly 23 hours straight from Nebraska to Florida, telling the girls to meet him. Now the sisters, they disappeared on Saturday around 5 p.m. The case broke wide open after a traffic stop by the Georgia State Patrol who found both girls inside the suspect's vehicle.

What? Let's listen to, police. In the communications that we did see, there was a romantic conversation. Again, nothing sexually explicit that we found yet, but keep in mind there's a lot of work to be done. We're still going through those devices. We recovered his device and we're doing search warrants on his device. So we'll see what was in there. But there's nothing good with a grown man coming into the state of Florida, removing two teenage girls and taking them to Omaha, Nebraska.

Wow. Yeah, that is scary. And the guy was 19? 19 years old. 19. He was by himself? He was by himself. Apparently, the girls, something about they got their phones taken away.

So they were talking to them on a family iPad or something. And then the mom or the dad, they something sparked their memory and they had deleted the Snapchat app and Snapchat. app and then they went back. They found the correspondence. They showed it to the police. They were able to track him in his movement through his phone and that's ended up, that's how they found him. But this all started on Roblox.

And I know a lot of parents allow your children to play on Roblox. So police are saying that, you know, of course, both social media companies, they are cooperating with the police, but they're reminding parents to check those apps, monitor messages, and

talk openly with your kids about who they're talking to online. And law enforcement, they're reminding that grooming doesn't always look obvious. Online conversations can be very real, you know, go wrong very fast. And so, yeah, 12 and 15 years old. That's scary. My son plays Roblox. He plays a couple of the other games, too.

But what I like to do for all the parents out there is I just go in the room while he's playing. Yeah. And I just sit in the room and just listen to what other people are saying, listen to what he's saying back. And I do that once, twice a week, just so I can get a vibe of what it is. Yeah. And I'm still from the era of I take my phone, my kid's phone on a, just give me a phone. What's your code?

Yeah, absolutely. And I look through the phone. I look through the text. I look through everything. It's just, you know, it is what it is. I just feel like our kids got way too many outside influences. I mean, I hate to be the parent that, you know, sets a lot of boundaries when it comes to that. But when you got, you know, 10-year-olds and 7-year-olds and 4-year-olds like I do, they're influenced by so many things that are outside of your control.

And I personally don't want that. Yeah. Even as young as your kids And the teenagers, though, that's worse Because they're actually out in the world. My son, he 13, and he go to school and they talk about girls that they meet on the chat and Robux

like you just said, like, you know, Roblox and all that stuff. And that's scary, but that's why Rome, he does the same thing that you said, he'll go in the room with Ash and he'll be like, yo, let me see your phone. He got the cold. Now, Ash gets slick and changing, but he always still gives it. All right, I change my cold, that's what it is.

Rome always check his phone. I do that all the time. And you know what makes me do that? Madison is the one that makes me go check the check the phone. Something is that and you have a lot like Madison is on it worse than me. Yeah, it's very scary. Big sister, she on it. That's good. Yeah, very important to monitor your kids' behavior on social media. And now to Atlanta where church disruption is drawing comparisons to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. So video shows an uninvited preacher at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, pulling out a camera and loudly condemning the congregation during a worship service.

What is going? Jamal Bryant. Yeah, Pastor Jamal Bryant says disruption. It crossed the line from protected speech into criminal behavior, especially inside of a place of worship. Let's listen to a little bit of that rant from the man. He's going to destroy this church.

It's time to repent of your wicked way. Praise bathing, stirring hatred. He was white. He was white. Yeah. Yes. So church security, They removed the man, but no arrest was made, and this is a contrast, of course, to what is happening in Minneapolis. Yes. And then Minneapolis, where people who disrupted service inside the church, you know, they were arrested for protesting.

Now, Brian, he is now questioning whether enforcement is being applied evenly and whether black churches are receiving the same protection under the law. Let's listen to what he had to say about that. This white evangelical nationalist pastor had the audacity he and his wife. to get out of his car and for propaganda and disturbance filmed themselves coming into our church. And since you are against, places of worship being disturbed and this gentleman attempted to do it at a black church. I want to know when is the arrest warrant. The craziest thing is black churches ain't like they used to be because the church that I grew up in, would have beat his ass.

That's no way. Oh, that's not a good church then. Well, well. Well, the Bible tells you to avoid physical confrontation. The Bible tells you to turn the other cheek. The Bible tells you to avoid vengeance. The Bible says that we don't battle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil.

So you lie. No. You ain't, does anybody get beat up in your church? Yeah, yeah, right. No, not the past is. Maybe not the pastors and deacons, but the congregation would have a drag the mouth. Man, what? Absolutely.

A lot of churches have security. I would say that Pastor Mal's. Yes, church has a lot of security. So, you know, not the trash security that I grew up in. Yeah, all right. Black churches don't play that, never played that back in the day. No. Getting your ass with.

In the name of Jesus, I'm sorry. But you're getting your ass with it. Sorry. That's why you don't go to that church anymore? No, that's exactly why. Because they grew up and don't do that no more. All right, well, we will see what happens with that. He is, you know, he mentioned Attorney General Pam Bondi by name

and, you know, calling for the arrest of that, that protester and his wife who came into his church, just like some of the protesters did in Minneapolis. So we will see if there is an arrest in that. We'll continue to follow that. But that is your front page news. I am Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network.

La Russell has an album that's coming out in, I think, the next couple of days, right? Well, it's called something's in the water. It was supposed to come out this week, but he launched a campaign to sell 100,000 copies of

his album and he wanted to sell it within 30 days and he didn't reach that goal. So he actually pushed it back because he really wants to reach the goal before he puts the project out. All right. And you can pay what you want for that album. That's right. I love it. And we're going to talk to La Russell next. But y'all can't pay a penny because they don't make them no more.

Correct. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envi. Just hilarious.

Salomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. Always a pleasure to see this, brother, man. album is out right now. Something's in the water. Ladies and gentlemen, La Russell,

welcome back. Yes, sir. No, no, something in the water comes out on the sixth. Yeah. I don't, I hate it all. You know,

we actually, we're moving it back. Oh, we've been campaigning to sell 100,000 albums. It's out, right? And, no, it ain't out yet.

We just been doing pre-order, so people can go pre-order and listen to, like, some of the tracks. But we hit 21,000 hours in 30 days, so, wow. You know?

Now, talk to us about this 100,000, 100,000 copy. What's called the 100,000 albums challenge. You're trying to sell 100,000 copies. Yeah. Independently off this one project. Where did that idea come from? Man, just a stroll with me and the homie. You know, we take walks every morning and just kind of build the vision and a dream

and what we want. And it was one of the moments I was feeling myself. And I'm like, look, I can sell a hundred thousand hours, you know? And I decide to just go to the world with it and believe in myself and take the chance. You know, I think it's a goal that a lot of people don't get to achieve. And I wanted to see that through for myself and my community. I love what you do because it's like the evolution of Nipsey Hustle's a proud to pay campaign. But yours is pay what you want. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's like people who just appreciate you and appreciate what you do end up dropping some money. Yeah. Right. Carri Armin dropped what, $11,000. $1,500. Snoop Dog, $2,500. John Bellion to Snow the product did $5K,000 entertained it did $1,000.

Raphael Sadee 10,000. Yeah. And then just like regular people too. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. 11,000, 11, like 10,000, 8,000. This is dope. And do you have a deadline for it?

The 100K? I saw you just extended. Yeah, I just extended. So I'm going to go through February. You know, I really feel like it's an achievable goal. And just where we landed at 21,000 indie, I've already, you know, there's major artists that can't sell that amount. So we've already surpassed it.

But I really, I just want to see it to fruition. I believe I could do it. So, wait, you wanted to sell 100K albums before. You dropped it. Oh, I thought you meant just sell. That's why I asked you the deadline. Damn. Before.

Damn. This is still good though. 23,000 pre-orders. Yeah. Damn. Well, congratulations. Gratitude. Now, Little John did every record on album?

Yep. Yep. Everything. And my homies, my in-house team. They teamed up with John and we sat in the studio. I think we did a total like four sessions and got it done. How did you hook up with Little John? It's been some years.

We've been chopping it up. And then we was randomly in L.A. and having a convo. And I was like, I'm just going to text little John and see if he respond. And we're in the studio the next day. Wow. Yeah. What is La Russell sound? Because people see you do records with Little John.

They see you doing the hypey stuff because you're from the bay. But then you can actually spit. Yeah. Like you're a lyricist. Yeah. What is La Russell sound? It's hard to encapsulate. And it's tough.

We talk about that often. Like, a lot of people think I'm just like a baby. rapper because they've seen like lately was popular or what's viral but you know you found me early do that little dance and and you know people who know me people who watch the tiny desk know it's really

hard that you know I make everything from R&B to rap pop I think the sound is just music is I just make life music OVane sent me that uh it was the 2021 freestyle yeah it was uh yeah it was oh yeah good company radio

I forgot what the name of the freestyle I know it was 2021 freestyle, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I heard that, and it was funny because Hovane sent it to me, God bless the dead. He sent it to me, and I didn't click on it. And then, like, a day later, he was like, you ain't click on that video I sent you. Because he knew that if I clicked on it, I'd be like, yo, who is this? And that's exactly what happened.

I'm like, this dude is phenomenal. Yeah. So that's all, to me, that was always the lane. But then I started seeing you do everything. And I'm like, man, La Russell can, he can just do whatever he wants at this point. Yeah. And, you know, that was the goal from the beginning. Like, I, I've always.

made every kind of music, but I just went viral for this, so people assume that that's what it was. You know, and I've always wanted to have regional representation and make sure people understood where I was from, too. You know, when I started, everybody seemed to freestyle and they thought I was from the East Coast, so this is just like

this is a bridge and the gap. This is the Bay Area, 1000%. So what was going to say, what was your mind frame for this? Did you want people to know you? I'm from the Bay, this is the sound? They don't know about now. God damn. Right, right. Yeah, I really, I really, wanted something that represent us you know I feel like as a region we haven't had dominance in a long time you know even when people think of their top 10 list you

don't often put a Bay Area artists in there and I wanted to just remind people like we make the music that the culture moved to when you hear certain beats that's our sound that's our BPM and our resonance but it's also we get a you know it ain't too many people who can rap with me either are there people who take advantage of the of the format and try to underpay for the album like here's a penny Of course, you know, but I don't even look at it as taking advantage. You know, we meet people where they are. And I've had some people give me a dollar for one thing and then come back three months later when they're in a different position and get me right with a hundred.

You know, so I've learned to stop basing whatever they use on that day as like the value or the worth of what they think my art is. Now, if somebody gives you $11,000, right? Is that one album? Yeah, so Kyrie bought one album for $11,000. So you could either buy multiple for an amount or you could buy one. And what's special, both of them apply to me because he gave me a world record for the highest digital album sold by buying one for that amount versus buying $1,000. Yeah, I don't like that. I like that.

Because you could have had, instead of having $23,000, it should have been $33,000. Yeah, right. That's how I would be saying. And then I look at, you know, Raphael's a deep. They'd not have been $43,000. But it wouldn't have been history. It wouldn't have been history. It wouldn't have been history.

Gotcha. You know, so either one. is beneficial. 11,000 ain't never non-beneficial no matter how you cut it up. Because it ain't really 23,000 copies, right? You can say, yeah, yeah, yeah, the amount. You really sold 60,000 based on these numbers. Yeah, definitely.

What do you think the true monetary value of the project is? It's priceless. You know, I think that's what I've built my whole ethos and brand on. It's not free. It's priceless. You know, when you get an experience that changes your life or you get to support somebody who's revolutionary and doing something new and different and making history, that's a priceless experience to contribute to no matter what.

Yeah. You built a career outside the traditional industry machine. Like what did independence give you that a major label never could? Freedom. You know, every label situation I was getting offered early didn't allow me the ability to do what I did. I released 43 albums just in the past since 2021. I've dropped 43 albums. So in five years, I was able to build my catalog that my family, my team, everyone, the fans, there's people who own

equity, even that, me being able to share royalties with fans and my homies that don't exist in the major system. You know, it's like, those royalties ain't choice to give. He's not capping either. He tried to give them to me. I'm like, I don't want to be. Everybody who helped me early, you know, I tried to take care of just because it's like...

But only because we can't, I'm a radio personality, so I can't do that. You know, that's unethical. But I'm like, nah, bro, I can't. I'm not doing that. But you are human. You're a radio personality, but you're a human outside of this. Like, one day it won't be radio and you'll just be Charlemagne.

And it's like, you help contribute to the culture. You deserve to have equity in that. Yeah. That's a dog way of thinking. Yeah, okay. At what point did you realize you didn't need permission to be successful? When I started being granted the same opportunities as the people that I thought were here to me.

And, you know, being able to come on breakfast club early and being someone who got to come on to rap, that first time I didn't even get interviewed, I just came and rap. We filmed the whole process and me coming up the elevator. It was like a 10-minute video total. Like, I came in, rap, and laughed. You know, and that's all it was.

And being granted, that type of access as an indie and as someone who people tell you, like, oh, you need major distribution, you need this, you need that. And to get the same access and opportunity really just alter my perspective on what was possible. Let's talk about the whole meeting because you met with Rock Nation, you know, I guess a couple of years ago.

Yeah. And you had some criticism of the deal that they offered you. Yeah. Then, well, first of all, talk about that first of all. What was the criticism? Yeah. So in 2021, Rag Nation was one of the first labels to offer me a deal, you know, and Hovane championed that.

And we was talking early about that. And when they offered me the deal, just my entire process of going through that, like meeting who was the head. then the energy was an ideal you know but they end up offering me a deal and the first draft of the deal that came to me didn't have like any advances any money anything attached to it it was just like a discretionary fund 360 10% yada yada so I went into the office and I'm like man what's up with the deal like where's all the info on the numbers just don't really make sense and then guy makes a phone call and he comes back

with another deal within like two three minutes and it had all the numbers on it and it just blew me because I was like, hmm, like if I would have signed the first draft of the deal, would you have ever told me that this, this wasn't the right deal? You know, from there,

it just made me feel uneasy, and that's when I started talking. Like, I got a highlight hole. Because I feel like, hold didn't champion this. Like, I don't think he know what's going on.

You know, and I never really heard nothing back from there. It just kind of kept moving, but that news spread, and I'm like, man, I mean, I can only share my truth.

You know, and just recently, probably a year and a half ago Cruz from Rock Nation hit me and he's like you know we're building a new regime up here we got all new people and um you know I really want to make sure you understand that that's not reflective of us or representative

of us and how we believe you know that should have went we understand what you're doing and we respect it but I was still in the stance of like nah I got a holler at home you feel me and uh eventually I got to holler at home and we really sat and talked for three hours and he brought up

you know the deal and everything and just told me what it was in this journey and how this little black kid from Vallejo saying something to the world about Hove's company. It's what made him look at his own house and be like, man, that wasn't right. That shouldn't have went that way. You know, he didn't even have full. When you run a company that big, you don't always have full visual of what the people that you empower are doing. So clearly the conversation was good to show had. Incredible.

Incredible. Yeah. So would you have taken a half a million dollars? or the dinner? Both. Both. Both of them. Oh, you think of the sign-in with Rock Nation this time around?

You know, I'm officially starting to Rock Nation. Hey. What does that mean? It means I now have support beyond just my homies and somebody who truly believe in what I'm doing, who's already done what I've done to show me the path. You know, I've gotten into a point of so much success independently where I'm from that I lost my guides. You know, I surpassed a lot of people who deal what I've done.

So I didn't, we've been doing this with no blueprint, no map, no route. Like, I'm the first in my family to ever perform at Super Bowl and carry the house band. And, you know, all of this is a first. And Hove has been here and done it. So it just gives us a different level of infrastructure. And I'm still indie. I still own all my master's. I still spend my pay.

I still do what I won't. But now I have a support where, like, I'm from the Bay is going to radio. I've never been able to get to radio You know It's just a different system And as soon as we agree like Man let's work They were instantly like

We believe in this record We willing to take the radio I've had partnerships prior Where they try to tell me It ain't worth it You're something not worth going on radio Until you get a TikTok moment Or some viral train

It's like Why we count on TikTok To believe in something that we all believe in Personally you know And also too I feel like rock nation still allows you to have have independent. Completely.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Complete. There was no way I would go over there without it. You know, even through this journey thus far, like, this is the first time I've partnered with anyone and they called me and said, hey, we're thinking about doing this. This is what we're going to spend on it, but how you feel? Do you want us to do more or less? What do you think for yourself? And that's a beautiful thing because a lot of artists ain't even in them conversations.

Yeah. You know, you have no idea what's going on, but I'm a part of every conversation that has anything to do with La Russell. How do you define winning now? Is it money? Is it freedom? Is it impact? Is it peace? I think it's impact.

You know, I think how many people I affect while I'm here and I'm doing what I'm doing and I show the way is what my success is gauged by. You know, if I was to do all this and I didn't help know. Nobody or contribute to nothing. Even what I did with Even, I opened the door for everybody to eat and do pay what you won't and sell the album. Jake Cole just, you know, he just did his last album to Even pay what you want and ran it up. Waile, 21 Savage, like, I brought people actually selling their music back. That's something the little black boy in Vallejo did.

Who's waiting on DSPs and trying to get their money off streams. I brought it back to like, nah, go to your people and get your chicken. Here's a platform for you to do so. That's my real impact and contribution to the culture that wasn't done, you know, prior to me. I love what you mentioned, Balejo, man, because, you know, like, you create in your own environment. Literally got the stage in your backyard, like with your people around you, mom working, everybody working. How important is your environment to your creativity? Vital.

You know, when we made this album with Lil Jon, we started the sessions in L.A., and I kept telling them. Like you got to come to the bay. Like we can only finish the album if you come to the bay. And he's like, man, I'm gonna come. And he came to the backyard and just the energy and feeling like him, for him to be in the backyard and be like, man, I never thought I'd be here. It's crazy because we looking at him like, we never thought we'd be here. You know, but it's like that, that ambiance is something that has been missing.

Like I've been getting with all the OG producers, me and Jazzy Faye were just cooking. and they're in these studios and in the room with me, like kids. Like, we all kids at play again. Like, that feeling and that energy left. You see it now, like, it's like the fun left the music. People don't feel that way, the vibrancy. But we be, if you look at these videos of us making songs, it's like, man, these are really kids at play enjoying what they do.

So you never thought that you would be here at this point. You never did. All I wanted was some holes in the box Chevy. In the song, in the song, Wiggling, you say you were 18, you had your first job, and you got your first check. You looked at it and was like, yeah, I'm not. I knew I ain't won a job ever. Where was you working at?

How much was the check? I was working at UPS. And I think my first starting wage was like 825. Your first job was UPS? Yeah. That's actually good. Now, I was a seasonal helper for the Christmas season. And I think I was getting 825.

You worked at the factory. warehouse. I was on I was in the truck like dropping off packages but I was I was just a helper to the driver. Oh got you got you. And I remember um like that first week we probably worked like 50 60 hours and I got that check and I was like damn. Yeah. I just gave away so much in my life, you know, for so little money. And I thought it was some chicken in, but it was like it got to be more than this. There's no way this was 60. Like now to see what 60 hours of my life can bring me versus what 60 hours of my life brought me then, it's incomparable.

And that song is hard. What's the name of that song? Wiggling. Oh, that song is hard. Yeah. I was going to ask, too, who were you most surprised with your biggest contribution? Like, when you seen Kyrie Over, did you know what's happening? Or did it just happened like, oh, shit? I had no idea. I had no idea. None of these people. Raphael, Sadiq, none of them. None of them.

All of them was like a surprise, Papa. I get a message from, you know, the co-founder Mag, and he'd be like, man, this just came through. But I had no clue with none of those. a while ago when Diddy was home. You met with Diddy. Yeah. Was you thinking about signing with Bad Boy? No, never. What was that meeting about? I think he just wanted to meet, but he also wanted me to write for like a record that he was making during the time.

But I think he just wanted to link and, you know, feel the energy out and everything. Like, I'm, he's seen the light. You know, and I think that's the case where everybody who ended up wanting to meet, like they see the light and they want to get around it. And I feel like when I met Puff, he was in that. He was in a spade. Like, you could feel his discomfort, you know? Like, I remember leaving there. I went with my mom and my daughter's mom, and I left there, and we went on a long walk. And remember I text you?

Smart decision. He said, I won a mom. I ain't not having it here. Yeah, yeah. We went on a long walk. And I was just like, man, he going through it. Like, he's not okay. And this before, this before.

Way before. Way before. Way before. I just, man, I'm a great sense engaged of, like, human and I could feel it you know and just how the people around him moved it was like this ain't gonna be good because nobody around you care enough to tell you when you wrong or tell you you know hey this this a little off and you know we we had conversation was walking to the stool and I was like man you've got everything

what do you want now like what it was left for you to have you know because he was still distressed and he was like man I just want to be able to breathe and I was like, damn. Like, that was a sentiment that I felt deeply because I've been in that space through growing and getting famous in the crew of success where I'm like, damn, I can't even breathe this so much on me. You know, and to see him in that state was like, man. And, you know, I'm noncomplicit in it.

Like, wrong is wrong. But I also can understand how somebody could get all the way to that point when it goes unchecked and when you build a world where everybody is completely. listening your behavior. And he wanted me to write to, I think the record was act bad. He played me the record. Yuck.

And I literally, he was like, what you think after? And I said, I don't love it. And he was like, and everybody in the room went still. That record was terrible. And that was the first sign to show me, all y'all in here lying.

Because y'all going to make me like, I'm wrong for saying I don't love it. And he was like, what's you don't love about it? You know, we had a long discourse and I was telling them like you at the phase of your journey where we want to hear your life we know you had the bitches and you did all that we like that's not the puff I want to hear from like you 50 that's not the puff I want to hear from like we need some life right and I was writing a new record where I was like life I was putting his journey in and he was like nah man we we're trying to party like that's too deep and I'm just like damn like it was too far gone yeah I forgot who podcast you was on but you had you had told that story you know how many people hit me and was like is this real are he just saying this because everything did he go on through I'm like nah that's real that was like three four years ago it was a while it was a while ago I'm like yeah he hit me

about that long time ago did you ever speak after that was I'm sorry I was because the record didn't do great so did you ever speak after that and be like see this is where I was God and you too no we haven't spoke since I don't think I don't think he was hyper fond of you know to my after that You know, I don't think he disliked me, but it was like, I don't need no n-h-h-rown me telling me the truth. You know, I just, I think I was out the circle at that point. Do you think it was more so, like, a fear of him going deep?

Because where you were- Hey, yo, pause. We're not talking to, we're not talking to Russia. Pause. Come on. Anyway, do you think it was like, because he wanted to party, party, you know what I mean? But you was trying to get him in, like you said, you're 50-year-old puff. I don't want to hear that.

Nobody want to hear that right now. You know, at some point, you've got to get tired of turning up and start teaching start getting deep telling us the things that we don't know or whatever, right? Showing a different side. Do you think it could have been out of fear that he didn't want to get that deep or just because he just really be on some party

because he could be suppressing? As I've grown as a man and human, it's a really debilitating process to everything you know yourself as. You know, you end up in a state

where you like lost and you low and a lot of people don't want to go back that low and have to build up and sometimes it's like the image

you built such an image in a life for yourself that you don't even know who you are no more to go back to something you know like there's no home to go back to when you destroyed

every house you had yeah damn can play some joints off the album all he can rap whatever you want to do I mean whatever you feel like doing

La Russell yeah I like rapping you like rapping you like rapping you got it queued up My man came in a head with two hats in a sleeping bag. You're going to turn it down a little bit, or do you need? I think I'm good.

Pop's used to whip a black and burgundy suburban. Back then I knew that I was deserving. Back then I knew that I would be something. God put a light inside me like a pumpkin.

I'm Inalick Lamoma. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Have both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Almermata, Moore House College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in Black history.

Martin Luther King Sr. and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

Remember that night up in the hospital, you was torn.

Open by the breaching of my baby. I was a youth. I couldn't understand the flow of life. All I could do is grab a hand and try to hold it tight. Used to be plagued with all the women I would hold that night. Thinking about male when I was learning how to hold it right. But it got ugly as a hook in. with an over-

Overbiting the eyes. That wasn't nice, but I am. Hey, hold on. These rap songs don't help heal plenty men, reversing damage that was done to us by many men. You know they love to play gangster to somebody shake ya. I learned early, dear Lord, I want to thank you for walking me through fours when my eyes closed.

You ain't gotta say a word when your eyes hold. The light given to you by the most high. I'm from the north, but I live on both sides. You know I'm in the hood like a serpentine belt, spitting rhymes against felt. Remember getting whoopings till a pagan had welts, early life lessons from a belt, yelling my mama name calling out for help. When she ain't come to rescue me, I would melt. Chip on my shoulder through the day. Stayed in the room, I ain't even wanna play.

All this is, I never used to say out of fear. I get to say here These flows be healing me since I was young 97 work done what a fucking run I can't see it coming down my eyes So I gotta let the song cry Yeah I can't see it coming down my eyes So I gotta let this song cry

Yeah every night it came down my eyes And I still let this song cry Yeah thank God it came down my eyes So I gotta let the song cry It's the Marineau for them rock Yeah Make you want to Go order something's in the water right now

What's the website? Even dot biz Even dot biz I gotta go make a purchase my dam I'm going to go ahead It's the breakfast club, good morning Let's get right to the latest with Lauren All right.

You're talking L.L. Cool, babe. Yeah. I'm not dumbering myself. Damn. I'm being myself. That source is must. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

Take me through that. Take me through that. Where is she going? The latest with Lauren Olson. Take me through that. On the breakfast club. L.L. Cool, Ben. Talk to me.

All right, guys. So, oh, I hear what you talking about. You had a little echo, right? Yeah, echo, yes. I echo my new headphones. Thanks, Netflix. So I want to get into the latest. So we're going to talk about the R. Kelly,

A. R. Kelly victim. Her name is Rashauna Landfair. Now, you might not know her by name, but Roshana Landfair is the, she's now a woman, but she was the young girl in the video that has circulated of R. Kelly, the video where he pees on a young woman.

Oh, girl. You get the hell out of me. Go ahead. Urinate it. Urinated on a woman. And she's, is speaking out now. She's reclaiming her identity. She just

dropped a book called Who's Watching Shorty? So Shorty is her like childhood nickname and the book is all about basically people around her failing her. She says that law enforcement, social services, her family, music execs, everybody failed her. No one was watching and protecting her, which is how she ended up in

a situation she was in. Now she did a sit-down interview with CBS Jerika's Duncan, Jerika Duncan, and she talks about how she even got into R. Kelly's orbit. Let's take a listen to her talking about her aunt Sparkle. The next time we're at the studio, this is what you say, Sparkle said. You say your aunt told you the next time we're at the studio, you should ask Robert to be

your godfather. Aunt Sparkle explained that I should sit on his lap and rub his head while I asked him to be my godfather. This instruction seemed sort of weird since I hadn't sat on his lap before, but I didn't question it. When you think back, is that where it all begins? Is that the start? That is the start.

That is the start of him entering into my life in a different way than just being an artist or hanging out at the studio. It became more personable at that moment. Yeah. Now, her Aunt Sparkle, you know, was here on the Breakfast Club right after that surviving Art Kelly Dock went down in Envy. You actually had a conversation with her about why you thought that it was her fault, Sparkle's fault. Let's take a listen to. the breakfast club talking to Sparkle. Just the fact that people are thinking that

I just threw my niece out there. No. They're blaming you. Yeah, I introduced my family. Why y'all deflecting like, come on, y'all. They're saying, I did nothing. I definitely blamed you too. This keeps coming to me.

Because in the docu-series, it doesn't necessarily explain well enough what happened. It makes it seem like everybody heard what was going on with all Kelly, and you still introduced to me. She did say that she did say that, you know, Barry Hankison was there with the links. All of that was left out.

And people going, you know, think what they're going. don't think because of them not putting everything in there. That part of me, you know, just sending my, you know, niece in there and then leaving her in the studio. I never left my niece in the studio. And then what they don't share on the piece is that I called my sister when I saw her down there by herself, when I asked, you know, what you're doing here by yourself?

30 to an hour later, my brother-in-law shows up. Yeah. Her stories don't match. I don't remember that. I didn't even go. She said envy ass. I was like what? I know.

Yeah. That was, it was like seven years ago. It was literally right after that doc had her. premiered and she was here. And I mean, rightfully so, you guys brought up a lot of points in that conversation with her because everybody has these questions like these girls, now women, were children. So how did they even end up in a certain situation? But the stories don't match because Sparkle said she had nothing to do with it.

And Denise is saying she told me to sit on his lap and rub his head, which is crazy. And how old was the young lady during that time? She was 13 at 14 at the time. Jesus Christ. Yeah, she said she was 14 at the time. And yeah, stories don't match at all. Sparkle actually released a statement as well, too. where she's still, you know, saying that she had nothing to do with anything.

She says she is relieved that Rashana is finally free to speak her truth and begin her healing journey. Because she's always wanted that for her. But she says she wants to be clear about one thing. Any suggestion that I groomed or facilitated or enabled harm to my niece is untrue and deeply painful, especially given my documented actions at the time and throughout. And then she goes into what she said here when she found out. She let people know. She contacted DCFS.

She said she did all the things that she needed to do. but also Roshana addresses you know after that video came out that whole video became punchline and jokes Dave Chappelle had a skit about it she talks about what she went through watching the world everybody did all of us

but I think most people famously remember Dave Chappelle's but she talks about just Yes she talks about generally just watching the world make her life a joke let's take a listen to that The jokes that came from the video because we're talking about seeing a person at the time not knowing who it

is being urinated on. Do you look at even the justice system is not protecting you to some extent? I definitely think things could have been handled differently. I'm happy I wasn't there to witness everyone watching that to the world imagery. I was not made to be a victim. I was a mockery. And that was very difficult to digest. It was very disheartening to know that my body was just being displayed and tossed around. And, you know, when I look back on it, I wish things could have been done differently, but those are all of the things that I had to internalize.

It's amazing. I was always two sides to a story because back then, we never thought we were joking on the little girl. We were clowning R. Kelly. Yeah, yeah, 100%. Did they ever get who released the video? Because that person is just as bad, because even though they were trying to expose R. Kelly,

they also victimized this young girl that for the rest of her life she has to deal with. Could you imagine going to school every day and people making fun of you and you can't get away from that? And if you guys remember... I thought she was blurred out though on the video. I've never seen the video myself.

I've never seen any. I just heard about it. But if you guys remember the 2008 case that R. Kelly was acquitted from and then he was later convicted, she declined to even testify. But she says even after doing that because people knew the story,

she went by Sean. She didn't even go by her full name because whenever she would try and date, apply for jobs, especially like within certain areas. and locations or whatever, people would know the story of what happened. So for a long time, she kind of, like, hear from this. And she wants people to know that this book isn't like a tell-all.

There's no, from her perspective, she doesn't even appear angry at R. Kelly in this book. It's just more about her getting it all out there, saying how she feels so she can actually move on because she's never been able to do that. How old is you know? She's in her 30s now. I would have to look that up. But Rkelly's attorney did release a statement in response to her Rolling Stone interview that she did, not the CBS one.

but they say that Mr. R. Kelly wishes R.Shauna all the best in life at a young age. She was unfairly forced into the public eye against her will by people that were only intent on destroying the reputation of Rkelly. She did not deserve that. Mr. Kelly has no negative comments to make about her. He hopes she finds success in peace. I don't understand that logic, though, because when you said he was trying to destroy R. Kelly's reputation, Raleigh was destroying his own reputation, unless even with a 14-year-girl recording. No, meaning whoever put out that tape was trying to destroy Arkelly if I don't engage in the behavior.

Yeah, no, you're right. But whoever put out that tape was trying to destroy R. Kelly. Also, destroyed that young lady's life too. Yeah. Right. And R. R.Shawn, I want to correct myself. She's 41.

If they wanted to destroy, quote, quote, R. Kelly could have gave it to the police. But they wanted to embarrass R. Kelly. I thought they gave it to the police. Can they give it to the police first? Then how did everybody? They were selling it like a mixtape back in the day. No, people had it. But I thought they gave it to the authorities back then.

Now, once they were selling, I think the authorities picked it up. I know at one point when the second trial came up, there was a journalist who had like sent some things over to police. And that's how that second, the second go around when R. Kelly was actually convicted. That's how some of that stuff started, but I don't know. Yeah, I thought everybody got it at that one because I remember them pulling up, I wasn't working with Wendy at the time. But I remember her telling the story about how somebody pulled up in a limousine with champagne and everything else and was like, I need you to see this. And then they showed her the tape. But I thought that they gave it to the media and the authorities all at the same time.

They were selling it. I remember leaving a club and there was somebody outside the club selling the tape. Because he went to trial right? He was acquitted.

Yes, but he was acquitted. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They went to their authority back then. Yeah. All right. Well, in the next hour we'll be talking about there's some

there are some small updates. This is a crazy time to mention this. We'll come back with some more news in the next latest because I don't even want to tie the two things together. Using your head. Thank you.

Shut up. No, no, no. No. Let me see if you made a smart decision. I don't know if you saw the headline around this one. I don't have it written here. I don't know, but I see the word ditty, so you're probably right. Oh, Lord.

Who you give me your donkey to? Four after the hour, there is a young man from Florida named Jalen Tyree Lewis. He is 22 years old, and he just needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club good morning. But you use that donkey thing that he is a bunch of donkeys around him.

It's time for donkey of the day. I got the donkey of the day for being hot to They made me The donkey up the day By the thing that I said Damn, Charlottoman Some donkey today's just

I'm settled It was you What accountability Are you taking? Damn! It caught me off guard I'm not making this people Do you do anything

I'm a day On the breakfast club At me and said I want to start off With this donkey right here Donkey today For Wednesday February 4th goes to a 22 year old

Florida man named Jalen Tyree Lewis I didn't even do the Florida intro, did I? Oh, come on, bring it back. We got to bring it back. I can't even write. I can't even do it anymore. I'm sorry. Make sure you tell him to watch off a Florida man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes. You are a donkey.

A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after Deputy's Day he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flaming woman. The breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day with Sholomey and the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get you all like this. No, Newball, y'all, y'all keep doing it to yourself. Okay, donkey today for Wednesday, February 4th, goes to a 22-year-old Florida man named Jalen Tyree Lewis.

Okay, 22 years old, very important to note that age because that means his prefrontal cortex is not fully developed yet. Okay, if you don't understand what the PFC is, it's simple. It's the part of your brain that's responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and planning. So if you're 22 years old from the Sunshine State, you don't have a fully developed prefrontal cortex, but you do have what we call a Florida lobe. Okay, now a Florida lobe is the brain's command center. Okay, it's responsible for all the same executive functions

that the frontal lobe is responsible for, decision making, impulse control, emotional regulation, planning. But since it's a Florida lobe, it never really does any of those things. Okay, it never really matures. All right. The frontal lobe is the last brain region of fully mature, but studies show the Florida lobe never really does. I know, I know, I know Florida don't be mad at me.

It's science. Now, Jalen Tyree Lewis is our latest evidence to this because he's facing charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and firing a weapon. Why did he let that hammer sing? Well, let's go to 25 WPBF News for the report, please. Investigators of Paubeach County believe the discovery shooting that landed a man in jail for attempted murder.

Police say jail in Wilk Lewis confronted the victim, last night about being with his girlfriend. Investigator St. Louis then pulled a gun and fired at the other man who suffered several gunshot wounds. Unknown to both men, the woman involved is dating both of them. Jane Lewis now charged with attempted murder, as I said. Victim hospitalized with minor injury. You pistol popping for Pum-Pum, Florida Loeb. You letting off shots for sex?

Florida Loap. Listen, man, my daddy told me a long time ago, don't be out here, you know, sleeping with another man's woman. I don't care how soft you think that man is. how much of a cow would you think that man is. He will kill you over his woman. All right. The victim told Jailin, if you want her, you can have her. And Jailen still shot him twice.

Now, what I don't understand is, if the guys didn't know this woman was dating both of them, why would you, Jailen, be mad at the other dude? He didn't do nothing to you. All right? This woman out here risking yeast infections, pH balance all off because she's choosing to have multiple partners. Both of your brothers are victims.

And Jailen. You're supposed to keep it playing. Okay, do you think for one second that woman cares about you? Right? Do you think for one second that woman cares you in prison? Absolutely not. She's going to be out here celebrating Black History Month, okay, enjoying the Super Bowl. Enjoying the Super Bowl.

Valentine's Day will be spent with someone else. All right. The dude you shot, she probably sending him so many apologies right now. She probably feels so guilty that he got hit, okay, that he can smash whenever he wants to. He got the I can hit whenever I want to card for the foreseeable future, okay, because she feels guilty. Listen, man, I tell you young is this all the time. Don't make a permanent decision based off temporary feelings, okay? Whatever butterflies you had for that young lady, trust me, you would have found them for somebody else.

It's Florida, young man. Okay, women are like gators in Florida. Miss one next 15 one coming, okay? You see her with another man, and that other man tells you if you want her, you can have her. You're supposed to say I don't want her either she for the streets, but instead you let her trick you off the same streets she is foe. Please give Jalen Tyree Lewis the biggest he all. Ain't no way, okay?

Ain't no way shooting another man over no woman. She don't care, like you say. She don't care. She don't give a damn. She already having a ball. Chat one play games. Are they talking about me on donkey any day? Yes.

You know what I'm saying? I don't feel like playing the game. Chat won't play again. No, I don't care what the chat won't. They won't play again. Well, go play one. Play it in the check. What's his name again?

What are you talking about? You need to stop stereotypes. They love that, them stealing fan locks. Let me see. Well, they're not stealing fan. They're actually hanging. Let me say. Oh, see?

So you get all the heavy stuff out of the way.

So, I don't know if y'all need a second date. Period. So they role play in Kiki Palmer says in their conversation, she does not want her partner living with her at all. Like even when she's married. In a marriage, yeah. Yeah, she doesn't want her person living with her. And it's caused some conversation.

People think it's so weird that she said that. There's a lot of people who live that way. Let's open lines. 800-585-105-105-1. Do you live in a marriage where you and your spouse do not live in the same house? Does it work with you? Does it work for you? Let's discuss 800-585-105-1.

Me personally, I have no way, hell no. No way. Even with me and my wife arguing, I still need to see her. Yeah. We're gonna be mad at each other? And your house big enough. You can go to one end and she can go to the other. No, we said that same back.

She said you could do guest house or like around the corner. No, I, yeah, that's, see, I guess we're going to talk about it more. Because I agree with what she's saying, but that's for a certain type of person. I wouldn't do it. But I understand. Yeah, I can't do it. Because I think somebody has been said that. I think Oprah or Gayle, one of them said that too.

Shirley Row. Yeah. Sherley Row. Right. But when they explained why, I understood it. Okay. Let's take your calls when we come back. 800-58-105-105-1.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Salomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're taking your phone calls,

800-585-105-1. This comes from a conversation Kiki Palmer was having. And she was talking about when she gets married, she doesn't want her and her spouse live in the same house. Let's listen.

One thing I need you to know is that I never want to live together. I like my alone time. But is that real? That's real. I just feel like, you know, Whoopi Goldberg said the best one. She was like,

I don't want a buddy in my house. Mary even. So you're going to live around the corner? Around the corner would be great. What about a guest house? Would you let him live in the guest house? You know what I'm saying? We can be on the same, you know, land,

but I'm over there and he's over there. At best, separate rooms. But think about how fun it would be to be like, I'm going over to my man's house. Yeah. It keeps things right. It's fun and exciting.

I want to go sleep on his couch. And he better clean when you're coming over, too. You know what? I will say I'm laughing about it, but there are probably people watching right now who agree with you. Come on. It just helps to keep. I feel like sometimes you can be just too up under. That's cute in the beginning. You know what I'm saying? I want to go with my man's house. I want to go to, like, yes, there's nothing like saying that when you're dating. But when you're married, I can't, I don't agree. I don't agree with it for myself. That's, I, it's absolutely mandatory for me to live in the house with my husband. And, but I do understand.

why a person like Cheryl Lee Ralph would say that. Now, Kiki is young. I don't know, unless she just went through the ring of her baby father. I don't know. I guess all the turmoil that they went through, I guess that got her to that point. And that could change for Kiki because she's younger. But Sherylie Ralph, I do understand. For one,

her and her husband live in two different states. He's a politician or something like that. And she's an actress and she has to be on a certain side, you know, in a certain city because she films most of the time. So I understand. Then they're older. They didn't have years and years and years. And when you get older, I do notice because I notice from my grandmother.

You want your space and they, she ain't going to leave them. Like, they got, her and my grandfather was together. They were together for so long that she didn't want to leave him, but she didn't want to live with them. That's just how that was. I don't know.

How many girlfriends your grandfather had? I don't know. I have no idea. All right. Because remember I told you, she shot him in the ass. That's what I was asking. Right. But somebody shot me in ass.

I don't know if I went live in the house even. But that's what, but he bought that on the south. Now, the truth about this. No, I swear. No, for, I was telling the truth about the church, but my mother didn't want me to reveal that about our church. I'd have your mama call and say,

hey, don't be talking about my mama now. No, just my father from mother. Okay. All right, yeah. Yo, I gotta leave my family business out of this. But yes, like, I do understand. I just don't agree with it for me. Yeah, I cannot be married to my wife

and we not live in the same house. Like, I just can't. Like, we are up under each other and I'm fine with it. I love it. Even when we're arguing, I want to live. look at her miserable, she won't look at me miserable. We're just gonna be miserable in the same bed together.

But now, we are not no way, hell no, you live in this house, I live in that. No, no, no, no. It's not happening. Yeah, I have no idea what Kiki Palmer is talking about. And neither does she. Okay, she sounds like a person who's never been married. I would actually listen to her and respect it more if she had some lived experience. Okay, what's the point of being married if you're not going to live with each other?

That's part of being married. That's how you build deep intimacy with a person. you share daily responsibilities. That's how you have a long, you build long term compatibility. Do you need space sometimes? Of course. Do you need me time, a long time? Of course. But what's the point of being married

if you're not under the same roof? How does that work with the kids? Right. I don't know. There's nothing better than being in the bed with your wife in the middle of the night and one of your kids come in because they say that they had a bad dream or they stomach crying.

You want to be there for every waking moment. Absolutely. So I don't, like no, like no, Kiki. But we have somebody on the line That said it works for them. Hello, who's this? I'm a Remain anonymous. Breakfast Club, what's up?

What's up? We cannot see you, girl. How are you? That's all right, Jess. Don't, don't go. I got you. So you said this works for you? In a situation where you and your husband don't live in the same house?

It's not a situation. This is an actual relationship. Don't play with me. Okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Well, let's say. Break it down.

We are actually in a relationship. We have dated for about six years. Y'all not married, though? We've been engaged a little over two years. Are you all married, though? No, we're not. We're not married just yet. So why are you listening to her?

Damn. Because she understands. You know what, Shalomene? She's in the same way. Everybody don't want the same thing. Yeah. And not everybody is traditional. And when I got with him, I let him know I'm not the most traditional person.

And I've stuck with that. It's more of me than him. And a lot of the times when you hear about people not wanting to live together, it is the female. It's more the female than the man. The man is like, we need to be. under one roof. But I feel like that comes

to like trauma. Like something had to happen. Why the hell do you ever, ever want a house divided? Like, you know what I'm saying? It's not divided. It's not divided. It's not divided.

I sleep with him. He sleeps with me every night. We're not sitting here like, not together. It's not divided. But there's no trauma. There's no trauma assisted or associated with not wanting to live together.

But y'all sleep together every night you just said. How? Mm-hmm. And then you go home? On the phone? Or like, what do you do? well technically the home is next door so yeah

oh so y'all live next door to each other on the same lane you're just next door to each other yes exactly what Kiki promised that where you're right here I'm right here okay it works you got your space our spaces literally are right there no problem I'm not I'm not

I'm still not listening to you till you get married that's the whole biggest that's the just is Solomon I'll call you back when I get money I got my ring on my finger that's gonna be my husband so question when you have kids Who are the kids going to live with? Oh, no, honey.

We don't have kids. I'm too old to have kids. My kids are grown. He does have children, but his children are grown, semi-grown and one is kind of middle schoolish. When is the wedding? When is the older? Say it again.

When is the wedding? When is the wedding? Well, we're hoping the wedding will be in the next year or two, but we want to buy some homes first. We want to buy some land first, and we don't want to make that. Okay. So what are you going to do when you look out the wedding? Income, Jess. Income. Don't play for me. Income.

You go out the window and you see another woman coming in that house. What do you do? Oh, then he wouldn't be living next door. Why do you even bring that into the equation? I'm just kidding. Because they live in the door. No, it's a reasonable question. You're definitely a reasonable question. There should be, but there should be. If there's a respect factor and you all have had that conversation, it shouldn't be let's play around with each other's feelings and let's play around with each other's lives.

This is a conversation like Kiki Pala says you have to have early. And in the beginning, Sometimes you probably don't think it's going to be like, well, maybe we'll fall in love and, you know, we'll change each other's minds. But people have to understand that if you are honest from the beginning, you can't fault a person for wanting to stick to their honesty. And a lot of people just don't want to live together.

It's all right. As long as you're taking care of your business, and I'm taking care of him and he's taking care of me and we're taking care of each other. Yes, we appreciate you, but we need to talk to some married people. 803-5-105. You're talking to everybody that's not married about this situation. But you see, that's trauma.

I don't care what nobody's say. People don't start off like that. Something had to happen. Like, there's no way. If you're just joining us, we're talking about something that Kiki Palmer said about marriage. Let's listen. One thing I need you to know is that I never want to live together.

That's real. I just feel like, you know, Whoopi Goldberg said the best one. She was like, I don't want him better in my house. Yeah. Mary even. You know, he's going to live around the corner? Two houses.

Would you live around the corner would be great? What about a guest house? Would you let him live in the guest house? You could be in a guest house. you know what I'm saying we can be on the same you know land but I'm over there and he's over there yeah at best separate rooms but think about how fun it would be to be like I'm going over to my man's house yeah it keeps it right so exciting I want to go slid on his couch and he better clean when you're coming over that's what I'm saying you know what I will say

I'm laughing about it but there are probably people watching right now who agree with you come on many it just helps to keep I feel like sometimes you can be just too up under so we're taking your calls 8005 8-505-105-1. Hello, who's this? Oh, my God. It's Liz. Good morning. Hi, Liz. Now, Liz, are you married and you and your spouse don't live in the same home?

had both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almemata, Morehouse College. The students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in Black history, Martin Luther King Sr. and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson.

To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people were dying. In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A-building on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know what I'm saying?

Like, it's hard to trust someone when, like, you know, if it doesn't end well, what's going to happen with the lease? And then you have things invested. What if you don't get the things back? So why did you get married again, baby? It don't really sound like you were ready for that because you still hurt from that five-year relationship, you know? You jumped to bring again a little too quick. Well, that's my year relationship.

It was actually ended three years ago. And I actually met this person a year ago, and he actually is slowly in accepting of what I went through. So he's actually allowing me to be me. So y'all don't live with each other, and y'all not moving in with each other? Y'all going to keep it that way separate? I think they're going to.

Oh, no, no, no. We're definitely going to move in, but I understand where she's coming from. I'm a little scared now. Is he? Yeah. Is he scared to move in with you? Because you Latino at a time like this?

Oh my God, literally. He is capable of, it's just like I said, you have to really kind of know the person, but I also took time to heal. I think he was talking like. Shut up. I was not. Wait, what happened?

What's the race of your husband? Well, my, he's white. Oh, okay. Now are you right? My suspicion was right. Definitely should be scared. Yeah, he's a little scared. I'm Hispanic.

I'm Hispanic. He's scared to move in with you. You know, you might get that knock at the door. I'm just saying you might get that knock. Damn. No, no, no, poor thing. He's not going to get the knock. We're well documented.

So that's not the issue. But it was like I said, it was I had to take time to heal. Like, I didn't want, I was like, whoever was, it was. Yeah. Whatever man came to my house, I was like, you're not going home. Like, you don't have a home? Damn. Damn.

So, yeah, she loves a kid. But congratulations on you getting married. I think that's dope. That's fire. But, like, I think you should, like, do some type of therapy to get over. You being scared to live with your spouse. I mean, because it's just still, like, you still hurt from that. You know what I mean?

I know it was three years ago that seemed like a long time to you, but you take it out of it. to your new marriage. You know what I'm saying? Yes. And you know what's so crazy, Charlemagne? It's crazy because when I used to be with my ex-partner, we used to listen to, like, the breakfast stuff.

And I always used to be like, oh, my God, I do not like Charlemagne. I feel like he is so judgmental. Yes. And then he'll be like, why? That's his personality. But it's so crazy. It was my first time in a while listening to you guys.

And I was just like, wow. Like, I have progressed because I used to ignore your whole morning show because of what I went through. Well, I'm glad you yelled, Mama. Yeah. I'm not judgmental. I just judge certain situations. Very judgmental. No, no, no, no.

You're amazing. Let me tell you something. I heard your podcast, Mel Robbins. You are amazing. Thank you very great speaker. So, believe it or not, you're amazing. And I love you guys so much. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.

I appreciate you. I appreciate you. I'm a good one. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? If there's a moral. Don't listen to unmarried people about married. About marriage.

Yeah. Yeah. That's the moral of the story. I only want to talk to people who have done this successfully that are happily married. But I guarantee you, Kiki feels like that because of what she went through with her son's father. I guarantee you that. I feel like people say that until they find the right person. Right, exactly.

When you find that right person, you want to be with that person 24-7, 365. That's the whole beauty of marriage. Absolutely. Some of us stay in relationships too long that's not good for us. We stand it too long and that's how you end up hurt and just like what Kiki said. You were trying. You had it. You're like, yo, it's always the awkward sign. You always go. You had it. You know, how did we bring it home then? The I thought you was bringing it home. You just stopped. I thought you had it. I don't know. You almost had it. You almost got there.

You almost got there. You gave up on yourself. And the chat said, spit it out, Jess. Damn. I'm fucking trying it. You had it. You gave up on yourself. I was like, okay, she got it, she got it.

And they got it. And they got let it be fucking silent too long. All right. Well, we got the latest with Laura covered up. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tilla! Maybe.

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. That's sad to beans. The Lour. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything.

Well, it's the ladies. Brought to you by Talk Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All right, y'all, so a quick update in the Savannah Guthrie case. So I just saw the report that I wanted to mention. You were talking about potentially this being like an inside job. Now, this is not confirmed.

I reached out to police and have not heard back yet. I reached out to police in New York and also in Arizona. And I'll explain why. So there's a report that NBC had to beef up their security and add extra security for their talent, including NYPD. Just because behind the scenes, all of the talent is scared because they're, of course, they're connecting the disappearance of Savannah's mom to her and kind of her stature on the show. And they're not for sure why she was targeted, but police have said that they do feel like she was abducted and potentially targeted. So they beefed up security there. but Ashley Banfield, who used to have a show on News Nation, is reporting that per police source,

Savannah's son, Savannah Guntheri's brother-in-law may be a suspect of the police. So Savannah has a sister named Annie, and this guy is married to Annie, and they were the last two to see Savannah's mom alive. They went out to dinner the night before they reported her missing. Now, again, I haven't confirmed what I just mentioned to you guys, but those things are being reported right now, so I wanted to update now. Sounds like an inside job. Yeah. Nobody just takes an 80-something-year-old woman from their house. And there's like the video, like blood splattered outside her house.

That police haven't addressed yet, but they, like I told you guys, they said they were concerned about the scene. But okay. And then obviously it's like a high profile or high surveillance community that she lives in. It has to be like a gate or whatever, like cameras and stuff too. Yeah. The home. They're going through that, but they did say that some cameras were missing.

So they're trying to figure out all of the chain of events. Inside for sure. Yes. Okay, so now in other news, Cameron has finally addressed his issues or lack there of or whatever because the case was dismissed. The lawsuit was dismissed with Jay Cole on his show. Now, I want to mention that this is not his full statement on it. It actually airs tonight on Talk with Fleet on Revolt, but this is the clip that was posted. Let's take a listen.

Me and Jay Cole are cool or was cool. This is exactly what happened. On his first project he did, I did an intro form. I told him I may need a verse whenever I get a project. I need a verse. I'm exaggerating me. He's like the shock rain right now and, you know, the moon got along with the stars.

You know, when I write, I put my all into it. Okay, let's put your all into it. Then I say, you know what? Forget the record. Let's do an interview. Bet I got you. I got a project coming out in June. Let's do it around there.

Cool, June is coming. Oh, we push the album back. I don't want to just do an interview. Now we're going to do it in October. All right, I call you back in October. So now this is when all the big. beef is going on with Kendrick Lamar. I can't do it now because I don't feel like talking about that right now.

I say, look, I'll do the interview. I won't even bring that up. He says, nah, I can't do no interview and not talk about it. Well, when can I get the interview? February, I'm dead ass on February. February come. Y'all, I'm still working, man. Listen, it sounds like Jay Cole was giving him the industry runaround.

And if someone does something for you in a timely manner and y'all agree, favor for a favor, when he reaches, when Cam reached out for that favor, you should repay that favor. It's really that simple. Absolutely. It shouldn't be difficult at all. Yeah, and that lawsuit that was filed by Cameron was dismissed voluntarily, but it could be filed again if he chooses to. You guys remember that that was over the Ready 24 collaboration,

and he mentioned trying to recoup over $500,000, but that was... Business is business. I do understand it, though, like, yeah, no, I don't want to do an interview because I don't want to talk about it, but you can't ask me about it, but he could have sent the verse. Yeah, yeah, align your stars and, you know, get your chakras together, and send a verse, no, for sure. 100%.

Happy born day. the camp to the day's kids' birthday yes it is a birthday yeah big 50 baby yes and also it's uh rosa paul's birthday

she would have been 113 y'all I doubt it I doubt it but yes rest yes rest in peace it's just 113 show

that's a lot that well yeah all right go away along what else you got I'm wrapping up now I want to tell you guys please listen to the latest with Lauren

the Rosa podcast we're going to get into some of the Epstein file things that we did not talk about today because Bill and Melinda Gates have addressed Bill Gates coming up

in those emails or emails that weren't saying we're going to talk about it over on the podcast so please take a listen and this was brought to you by Top Dog Law. That's crazy to be given out of this. I don't know if the story is true but man you get to a certain age you can't be out here giving out STDs. Exactly.

Unfortunately, she's had to address it. You can't be old and catching STD.

That's a young man's sport. All right. Well, that is the latest. You know what I'm saying? That's crazy. Now, let's get into it. We come back. We're going to start to mix up with some camera on.

Happy birthday, Cam. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Salamey Naga. We are the Breakfast Club.

It's Black History Month what we doing today. Man, you know, salute to B. Dot. Every day during Black History Month. My guy, B.D.D. does a podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network called I didn't know maybe you didn't either. He gives you some Black History Month facts you may not have known. And today, he's speaking on a forgotten court case that cracked Segregations Foundation.

Let's discuss. The first desegregation case wasn't. Brown versus the Board of Education. I didn't know. Welcome back, No. at all to another episode of the most anticipated podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network, especially in February, entitled, I Didn't Know. Maybe you didn't either.

I'm your host, BDOT. I'm Carla's husband and Isaiah and Ryan's father. And true to form, we will kick off today's episode with three of the most useless facts you'll never need not a day in life. Up first, the legal strategy that won Brown v. the Board of Education was tested seven years earlier by a Mexican-American family in Orange County, California. Your second useless fact, third good marshal, the man who argued Brown and later became the first black Supreme Court justice, he wrote a legal brief for that earlier case and used that as his model. And your third useless fact, the lead plaintiff's daughter received a presidential medal of freedom from Barack Obama in 2011. For a case, most Americans have never heard of.

I know I hadn't. Okay, first order of business is let's clear something up. Brown versus the Board of Education didn't start desegregation. No, it finished a legal fight that honestly started with a 9-year-old Mexican-American girl in Orange County. Her name is Sylvia Mendez. In 1944, Sylvia's family moved to Westminster, California to work a farm. But here's the thing. The farm wasn't theirs.

It belonged to the Munamichu family, a Japanese-American family who had been forcibly removed to an internment camp. So the Mendez family, Mexican-American citizens, were only there because another minority family had been stolen from their land. That's the backdrop. Now, when Sylvia's aunt tried to register her and her brothers at the local school, The clerk said, well, the Mendez children have to go to the Mexican school. The school superintendent, James Kent, later said in court that Mexican Americans were intellectually, culturally, and morally inferior to European Americans.

Those were his words on the record. Sylvia's parents didn't accept that. They hired attorney David Marcus, and they sued. Four other families joined. Mendez versus Westminster went to trial in 1947. Now here's what made it revolutionary. Attorney Marcus didn't just argue that Mexican schools had worse resources. He argued that segregation itself caused psychological harm.

He brought in social sciences to testify that separating children made them feel inferior. Sound familiar? Because that's the same argument that Thurgood Marshall would use eight years later in Brown. Judge Paul McCormick ruled in favor of the Mendez family. The school district, of course, appealed, and that's when the NAACP got involved. Thurgood Marshall and Robert Carter wrote a brief supporting the Mendez family, and Robert Carter later said that the NACP's briefs were the model for the briefs in Brown v. the Board of Education. So on April 14, 1947, the Ninth Circuit upheld the ruling.

Two months later, the governor of California, Earl Warren, the same man who would later become Chief Justice and alter the Brown decision, signed a billed ending school segregation in California. California became the first state to officially desegregate its public schools. Did you know that? That was seven years before Brown. But here's what they don't teach you. The Japanese American Citizens League also filed a brief.

The American Jewish Congress also filed a brief. Multiple communities came together because they understood that they can segregate one of us. Yeah, they can segregate all of us. In 2011, President Barack Obama awarded Sylvia Mendez the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was 75 years old. Her father, Gonzalo, had died in 1964, 10 years after Brown. At the age of 51, he never saw the full impact of what his family started. Brown versus Board, that gets the chapter in the textbook, but Mendez versus Westminster

has got a footnote, because without Mendez, there is no Brown. The first desegregation case wasn't decided in 1954. it was decided in 1947 by a Mexican-American family farming land that belonged to a Japanese-American family locked in an internment camp and Thurgood Marshall took the notes

and I didn't know maybe you didn't either All right, salute to B-DOT Now you see something just One thing about B-DOT He actually tells people things that they may not have known Yeah, I understand I do the same thing

We got another question Everybody in the whole world does not know what I'm about to even tell y'all today. If you brought that out to the whole world, yeah. Now, Jess, tell us something we don't know. Okay, I'm going to ask y'all because I'm tired of acting like y'all don't know things and, you know, y'all do.

Okay. Did you know that just Monday, Groundhog, Punks to Tarnie, Phil, seen the shadow, and he predict six more weeks of winter. Yes. That was a hell. You didn't mention it. That was a news.

Monday. I know it was a lot going on. We had Gardner and us and L. You know, we had Nicky loose in mind. We had a lot of things going on. Yes, man. I'm tired of that ground. It's cold.

It's cold. I understand, but you didn't even say it long. I swear, I didn't say. I'm sorry. My back. All right. I'm pretty sure some people didn't even know when groundhog's day was. Some people don't know what the ground hog even is.

You know there's more than just will, though. You got Woodstock Willie. Okay. Yeah, Woodstock Willie. He actually didn't see his shadow on Groundhog Day. That's why we not worried about him. We worried about Phil. It's two, though.

You got Phil in Woodie. Both of them go on the grill if you ask me. When did we get two? You eat grounds? No. He's from South Carolina. Yeah, they're getting hurt. No, there's more than one around home.

Woodstock, Willie is from Woodstock, Illinois. And who was the other one, Picistilly, Pittman? He's from Pennsylvania. Which one have? Which one? One died a couple years ago, like a year ago. I remember one died, but I thought this one was the replacement for the one that died. So who's been the one that was telling us all these things for, like, when I was young and I really believed it.

That was. That was, I don't know his, I don't know his name, but he's related to the one that. saw a shadow da other day. And we have six more weeks of winter, y'all. Maybe. Maybe. Nobody believes in grandhawks. I'd be believing that. Somebody said groundhog meat is delicious. I'll just, I'm going to
