You look tired, man. Is that your last day? No. What the hell would I be out for on a Tuesday night? I'm a 45-year-old grown-ass man
Starting point is 00:01:39 born in 1978, married with kids. No, they shouldn't. And you spent your whole evening at the damn playground with the kids. I was at the playground. That's what it looked like. I was definitely at the playground yesterday. I was at the playground. My daughter had cheerleading practice.

Starting point is 00:02:12 Yes, my baby's chilling today. Baby's chilling. No problem. The baby is chilling. Give it to her by 7.30. No, 8.20. 8.20. Well, today on the show, Dr. Phil will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Yeah, Dr. Phil got a new book out called We've Got Issues. Yeah, How You Can Stand for America's Soul Insanity, We've Got Issues. That's right, and it's out right now. My daughter was super excited when she heard Dr. Phil was on it. She was like, Dr. Phil is going to be on the show? I'm like, yeah. She was like, I watch all his stuff on YouTube. I'm like, no, he's on regular television.
Starting point is 00:02:39 She was like, I don't know. I just watch it on YouTube all the time. Yo, that is kids TV. Yes. That's the kids TV YouTube. Yes, absolutely. Wow, I know that's right. Dr. Phil still come on TV?
Starting point is 00:02:49 I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think so, yeah. She was like, I'd like to meet him, but I think he was just telling me about my relationship, so I'd rather just listen on the radio. This your 22-year-old? My 22-year-old, yeah. Yes, I know that's right.
Starting point is 00:02:59 She loves Dr. Phil. But Dr. Phil will be joining us this morning. A lot to discuss with Dr. Phil. And then when we come back, like Charlamagne said, the Michigan primaries were last night. Teslin Figaro will be next in front page news. We'll break that down. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy,
Starting point is 00:03:23 Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the god good morning let's jump right into it let's talk about the michigan primaries last night oh man big deal last night so republicans and democrats ran a primary last night but the main story is and we know we expected trump to win nikki haley uh was not successful in yesterday's primary but she says she's staying in until super t, which is March 5th, by the way. But Biden also won his primary. But the main thing that happened last night was the no commitment vote. So when you look at the fact that 100,000 people showed up yesterday to vote uncommitted against Joe Biden, that is a real, real problem on their hands for Democrats. Now, we talked a little bit about this on yesterday on what no commitment means.
Starting point is 00:04:06 And so Representative Andy Levine, who is a part of that movement, said that this was historic, that this has never happened before. Now, the movement will continue to various states until there is a ceasefire. Again, they are supported by another organization, 501C4 PAC PAC called Americans for Progress, who's supporting this movement. And just before I toss it to you so people can understand numbers. In 2016, Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by only 18,000 votes in Michigan. In the general election, Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Michigan by just a little bit of 10,000 votes. So it doesn't take a lot to lose the state. So when 100,000 people are showing up to say, no, we want to do something different.
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's a real concern. Yeah, I wonder what those uncommitted votes will mean in the general election though, because it's hard for me to believe that those folks who voted uncommitted are going to sit out in November when it's just Biden versus Trump. I just don't see it. It's not hard for me to believe. I mean I worked on Michigan during 2016 and when I look at the different dynamics that are happening with the students who are upset about debt relief, when you look at the unions who are on strike multiple times, we look at the Muslim community, it doesn't take much. It doesn't take a hundred thousand people to sit out. It could take ten thousand to shift this to ship this it could take five thousand and remember they have to go back and earn the vote of these a hundred thousand
Starting point is 00:05:32 and then some so it requires work it also is going to require more work on the biden campaign to put more money and invest more in michigan which means it takes away from another state so it's a it's a real threat just because rashida saleef says she's going to be on board with Biden in November doesn't mean she speaks for all of those 100,000 people. Yeah, but they're sitting out because of what's happening in Israel and Gaza. Do they think Trump is going to be better? No, they don't. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:05:58 They don't, and they've said that. They don't care about that. What they care about is trying to get a result right now. So it's not an issue of a lesser evil with them it is they gave biden their vote in the last election they're demanding something from him now they want him to take action they organized the pact they put money behind it actually on the ground and they're doing the work and so this is why what you mentioned yesterday charlemagne is important you know folks want to write think pieces about what you're saying and killer mike is saying they need to be worried about these organizations that are literally
Starting point is 00:06:27 putting money on the ground to say, hey, don't vote. So while people are ignoring that, this is what was happening. And just to mention some other states, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Massachusetts, Ohio, it's about 15 other states that you can also vote no commitment in and they'll be organizing there as well so this will not just be 100,000 people if there's not a ceasefire yeah I definitely believe it's something the Biden administration should be concerned about
Starting point is 00:06:54 and they should definitely pay attention to the to those individuals feelings but once again I don't see them sitting out in November if it's a threat of Donald Trump getting back in the White House alright well that is front page news they say Nikki Haley spent over them sitting out in November if it's a threat of Donald Trump getting back in the White House. Alright. Well, that is front page news. They say Nikki Haley spent over $35 million on her campaign. That's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:07:11 How much more is she going to spend? She's raising a lot of money, too. I don't think it's a problem with Nikki Haley staying in the race, simply because it's helping to raise her profile, and she's raising money. And people are going out there and voting for her. I don't know if they're voting for her or voting against Trump, but she is getting a good percentage of the vote. Yeah. Let me give you that number right quick.
Starting point is 00:07:29 She did a two hundred and ninety five thousand people. Twenty seven percent. Trump won by seven hundred and fifty six thousand sixty eight percent. So, again, message campaigns, they do matter. All right. Well, that is front page news. Now, get it off your chest. Eight-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:08:34 I like that, sheen. Oh, I love that, too. We was talking yesterday about what word should we use to describe people that are heavy set. Instead of big bag. I like luxury size. Our size is a luxury because we choose food instead of drugs and bullying. But what we do to you?
Starting point is 00:08:52 Nothing. Listen, here's the thing. I didn't even know when Jess Alaris was telling that story, I didn't even know the woman was a part of the Big Mac community. I just said it sounded like Big Mac behavior.
Starting point is 00:09:00 She is a luxury size sister, but here's the thing. Sociopaths do not discriminate when they choose a victim. I know more slim chicks that ain't got played than us. They don't discriminate. Okay. And then on top of that, he was paying her bills. He was paying her bills?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Usually it's the other way around. Usually it's the big back paying the bills. He was paying the bills. Listen, is big back really offensive? And I don't like luxury. I love the luxury side. I like luxury side. Me too.
Starting point is 00:09:28 But luxury just means expensive, don't it? Don't mean big. It's in question right now. Food is expensive. It's a luxury right now. Yeah, luxury means bigger, usually. Oh, yeah, in a sense. In a sense.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah, luxury is big. I like big. I think Big Mac is cheap. Come on, Charlie. You don't know how bad we is true you can't put that narrative out there like we just all that's not the case
Starting point is 00:09:49 well you're right but I just said in that case it did sound like big back behavior and I was right so is it a stereotype if it's true
Starting point is 00:09:56 I didn't know she was big they just don't like the term big back but see but luxury means extravagant living it means opulence like your party I like extravagant too extravagant size what about it's not extravagant living. It means opulence. Like your party this Saturday. I like extravagant too.

Starting point is 00:14:48 Don't you So let's stop playing Sorry So T.S. Madison You know She decided to Address me
Starting point is 00:14:55 On P-H-A-G-T-A-W-K What Fag talk No That's the name of the The thing that she said Oh yeah Yeah that's the name of the, uh, the thing that she said. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:06 That's the name of the show. It's yeah. That's, it's called fact talk and that's what it is. And she set up there with a sidekick of hers. They look like Batman and Robin just talking, running him out. Uh,
Starting point is 00:15:16 y'all can refer to her page. If y'all would like to go hear what she said, I would dare not play that on his radio here. Um, but all in all, she thought she ate that. Like all, she thought she ate that. Like, she thought she ate with that one. But apparently, she eating all the wrong people.
Starting point is 00:15:33 That's why she's still hungry. Now, she said she had a big back. That's what she said. That's what she wanted to run with. They were upset with the big back comments that Charlamagne made. They were upset about the big back comments. Nobody's really upset about the big back comments. No, but she was more so upset that i didn't like the fact that she had sinuated like an attack that she was gonna are
Starting point is 00:15:50 we going to cave his face in let me know because if you or even i were to say that to her it would be a crime you know on and offline you know, saying the shoe fits would be, if the shoe fits where, that's the saying. But you took the shoe, you stuffed your fat ass foot in it, and your toes couldn't breathe. So, in other words, you reached. You reached. You know, and I know they say a hit dog will holler, but you ain't even a dog that we was calling. You're not. So, what do we do to smooth smooth this over jess excuse me please
Starting point is 00:16:26 she's a confused pig in a blanket you are not the dog you are confused as pig in a blanket now i never misgendered you but you decided to do that you you you cheat she misgendered me i never misgendered her why is the gender thing even coming up i thought this was about big back listen that's what she i thought it was about that too. But she started talking about my exes and all of that stuff. Now, what that got to do with your back? She was talking about my ex, Chris, cheating on me with big back women. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 00:16:59 And we all just meet at the gym. No, can you shut up? And relax. Sure. I'm confused how the big back conversation got into all of this. Because she used the situation to say things that she been wanted to say to me. From the first time when she jumped out there online. And she was made to look like a fool.
Starting point is 00:17:17 That she is. She was made to look like a fool. And that's it. And how dare you. How dare you say he hilarious? And yeah, all this man stuff projecting, you know. Who's hilarious? No.
Starting point is 00:17:30 He hilarious. That's what she called me. She said, you got all this being slow. He acting stupid. She like, you got all this big nigga energy. You wouldn't know that better than I wouldn't know that. Because you live it every day. So that's not what we're going to do here.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Okay? No. You live it every day. And that energy will never be ladylike. So don't play with me. I keep telling y'all, y'all don't have to keep my name out your mouth. But y'all will not play with me. Watch it.
Starting point is 00:17:56 And Kaya would be so disappointed in you. You done took so many reading lessons and you still ain't even talking about you read. Write it over. Because that did not work. Is that why you texted me yesterday and called me a butch queen? Yes. I'm not going to lie though. What did I reply back? Because it took me a little minute because I had to look up
Starting point is 00:18:14 the definition. Now listen. Because we're going to say four names. Four names. Transsexual Madison. Do not call nobody else to try to get me on the phone to hash things out after you see that this ain't going your way. Because this did not have to end up like this. This is another horrible decision made.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Okay? Don't call Jason Lee because that's not my friend. Do not call Mona. Don't call me white girl. That's not my friend either. Don't call nobody who we mutually know to try to talk to me after this. Because it's done. Stop calling me your sister.
Starting point is 00:18:47 You are not my sister. You're not even my brother. Let's stop. Moving on. So, can I call you a butch queen? I was kind of flattered when I read the definition. What is a butch queen? Y'all can do this on your own time.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'm sorry. So, moving on. Because the one I googled ain't the one that's coming up now so we have the second annual Black Effect podcast
Starting point is 00:19:09 hey yes and the tickets will be dropping today y'all and I'm so excited about that because I will be there
Starting point is 00:19:17 and also another successful podcast uh Horrible Bosses yeah yeah I mean I'm sorry Horrible Decisions they will be no that's one of
Starting point is 00:19:28 my favorite movies yeah we don't have to do this they will be there but i am uncle charlotte yeah i'm sorry one of my black effect cousins that i don't like she's fraud she's fraud so mandy from horrible decisions decided that she was going to bring back up my trans controversy. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Starting point is 00:20:18 You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people, you know, follow and admire join me every week for post run high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Introduce the fact that she was bringing a transgender woman on their show.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Now what does this have to do with horrible decisions which is spelled H-W-H-O-R-E? I have no idea. But this is what she said on her podcast. Jess! You already know I'm going to see you in April. I would love to be transphobic. But this is what she said on her podcast. Oh, God. Jess. No. You already know I'm going to see you in April. I do find her to be transphobic. She doesn't seem in support of or understanding of or in like of trans people.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I'm surprised you said that because when we talked about it before, you were saying like. No, no, no. Okay. So that's what she did. She brought that back up. And I think that that's the episode from like February or so. Right now, when I find end of January.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Okay. What I find interesting is that we see her cohost actually try to stop her because no, that's not how you felt before. So I don't know why you would put that on my name. That is very dangerous to label somebody transphobic who is not transphobic. And then you read the definition. Like,
Starting point is 00:21:43 I don't know what it is. That's not me. I told you, don't play with me and say, don't keep in it i didn't say don't say my name i just said watch your mouth don't now i don't like phony people now i responded to her and adjust with the mess y'all can refer to my page to go back to that you see how i did that it's all over the blogs now and she responded with this jess you already know i'm going to see you in April. I would love for you to come on. I'm going to send you my number so you can call me.

Starting point is 00:22:43 Imagine how she looked out there. Remember when Kenneth Fetty was standing outside of New York waiting for Offset and his homeboys Now, how the hell can you be out in the streets? Imagine how she looked out there. Remember when Ken and Fetty was standing outside in New York waiting for Offset? And his homeboys was like, we've been out here for mad long. Why? Like, why are you telling me you outside? Why are you out there? You're never going to run into me at a bodega or a liquor store in New York.
Starting point is 00:23:05 And then it sounds like she's trying to say that she's trying to have the energy where she wants to fight but why would I do that I'm pregnant and that's not what I'm doing how we go from I need to get y'all on the phone
Starting point is 00:23:13 and talk about this to this and so that's what I'm leading up to you should have did this earlier butch queen I did and that's what I'm leading up to this is what I'm leading up to
Starting point is 00:23:20 how dare you go live like that and then you call uncle Sharla to call me to have a conversation. It's too late for that. I don't want to have a conversation with nobody. Oh, that was before she called me?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah. Listen, when you called me, I told you tell her I didn't answer the phone. That's it. Let me tell you how crazy Jess is. I said, Jess. I don't care. I said, Mandy and you need to get on the phone
Starting point is 00:23:41 and have a conversation, right? And Jess told me she didn't want to talk. I said, okay, I'm going to call Mandy and let her know that. She said, no, you call her and you tell her I didn't answer the phone. Yeah. We work together every day. Because they didn't want to tell her the truth. I wasn't going to tell her the truth.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I was like, Jess don't want to talk at this moment. No, no. And you was like, you better not say at this moment. Yeah, you was going to tell her, yeah, she don't want to talk right now.

Starting point is 00:25:09 Go to commercial. Ray, go to commercial. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:25:22 What up, Tess? What's going on,j and be just hilarious charlamagne the god hi babe how are you good well let's jump right down to fulton county all right the former divorce attorney terrence bradley was back on the witness stand yesterday at a hearing that pertained to the romantic relationship between nathan wade and district attorney bonnie willis he said he couldn't remember when their relationship began and that pretty much was all of the testimony. I want you to take a listen. I do not have knowledge of it starting or when it started.
Starting point is 00:25:52 On the stand for the second time this month, Terrence Bradley deemed a potential star witness for Donald Trump and his co-defendants as Wade's former divorce attorney. Bradley confronted with text messages today. He sent suggesting the relationship began before Willis hired Wade to lead the Trump case. But on the stand today, I was speculating. He tried to walk that back. When did you first get knowledge of their relationship? I've said over again that I was not, I didn't have any personal information where I could personally say when it started. They're definitely going to remove Fannie Willis from this case. Yeah, the attorney was really frustrated. She even talked about how he kept looking for cues at the other attorney's table. Let's listen to that.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And, Judge, I just want for the record, because sometimes the record doesn't reflect where people are looking and that when i ask a question mr bradley is looking at mr wade and his lawyer to wait for them to object and they're clearly interacting somehow in the court so i just want the record to reflect that because it wouldn't otherwise yeah but i thought that's what you're supposed to do in court i thought i thought that if they ask you a question that you don't feel comfortable with you you look at your lawyer to see if it's okay to answer right that's what your lawyer is there for the thing is no he was supposed to be there for them he was supposed to be their star witness oh damn yeah i think i think i think the thing that's missing in this whole thing and it shouldn't be because it's the headline but uh the ex part like she
Starting point is 00:27:14 he once texted that they absolutely had started dating before he was hired he said this already in text message that's what he was being pressed about on the stand right right and and texted to her so again he was supposed to be hey this is our star witness this is uh the what they call the loaded gun this is the going to be the one that's going to come in and confirm the dates and he got up there and totally flipped so the attorney that you just heard talking was very frustrated she kept saying but didn't you text me and tell me this and tell me that and you know so he just totally flipped. And here's the recap or the remix, I would say, of him saying, I don't recall that they put together online. Take a listen.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Fonny Willis and Nathan Wade were in a romantic relationship, correct? Correct. It began at the time that they were both municipal court judges, correct? I do not have knowledge of it starting or when it started. I don't recall. I don't recall any specific dates. It's a simple question, Mr. Bradley. You're a lawyer. Did you lie to Ms. Merchant when you told her facts about Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis' relationship? Not that I recall.
Starting point is 00:28:19 You never said to her that I don't remember or that I'm speculating, correct? I don't recall. I don't recall if I ever said I don't remember that i'm speculating correct i don't recall i don't recall if i ever said i don't remember i don't recall i don't recall i can't recall whether or not i'm telling you i did not recall any specific date that he flat out said anything about a relationship with miss willis you know you don't have that right i don't recall so i don't recall. So I don't recall us coming to Tubi next year. This was at, you gotta watch how he was squinting his eyes and was really trying to recall,
Starting point is 00:28:52 and he couldn't recall. So yeah, in simple terms, those lawyers were pissed because again, he was supposed to be helping them out. And that was not what happened yesterday. He didn't recall anything at all. Yeah, it's sad, right? Because when you take these kind of shots at a big fish like Trump, you got to make sure you clean you know
Starting point is 00:29:07 sadly fannie is a is black and and she's a woman she don't have the complexion for the protection she can't get away with what trump can get away with we live in a world where someone with 91 criminal charges can run for president but fannie can't be on this case because you know she was in a relationship with with nathan wade like they are definitely going to remove fannie willis from this case and i wonder why she just didn't step down a while ago. It's not like the case wouldn't have still went on. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Like, why go through all of this? The main problem is, if they keep her on the case, remember, this still has to go in front of a jury. So the jury's going to have to decide. A Georgia jury, also, make sure you keep that in mind, has to decide, you know, was there anything that influenced this case so a lot of folks say just remove yourself take the ego out of it and
Starting point is 00:29:50 just remove yourself so that the case can still go on without you being a topic you know of in the conversation basically all right let's jump to wendy's right fast yeah i thought about this because i know you guys had a conversation on who had the best fries, Wendy's. But this falls in inflation. So we can see how inflation affects us in real time. Now, if $18 wasn't enough to pay for a Big Mac and $7 wasn't enough to pay for a McMuffin, Wendy's said they're going to need some of that, too. Let's take a listen. The latest Baconator isn't the only new item hitting Wendy's menu. The fast food giant planning to test out dynamic pricing as early as 2025. It's a practice that charges
Starting point is 00:30:25 different prices for the same items based on demand throughout the day. For example, a cheeseburger and fries could cost you more during the lunch rush than during a down period. I would never have expected a fast food restaurant to do that. On a call with investors, Wendy's CEO Kirkanner says his company will invest 20 million dollars on digital menu boards allowing customers to see the updated prices beginning as early as 2025 we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and day part offerings along with ai enabled menu changes and suggestive selling that's so crazy fast food restaurants would make more money if they had like a a menu that was actually a value menu like if you they if they if they acknowledge that inflation is super high and they know it costs you know to buy things everywhere
Starting point is 00:31:15 else if they had an actual value menu that saved people money instead of costing them money they'd make a lot more money i would think it seems stupid they want to do surge pricing because i think most people buy fast food when they're actually in rush hour right so they're trying to make more money during that time but people buy it because it's cheaper and they say i'm stuck in traffic but now people gonna be like you know what i'm just gonna wait the extra 20 minutes and make sure i get home because this is too much money because that's exactly it and let me give you the number to support that 37 percent of consumers said they will absolutely uh order less that they will not be going along with this. Remember, they're trying to take Uber's lead.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Oh, let's just do surge pricing. But actually, some people might want to call this predatory. You know how we talk about predatory lending? This is predatory. Like if somebody's on their way home and they got kids and they're trying to get some stuff and now you're charging them three, four times as much. No. That's crazy. They better off
Starting point is 00:32:06 doing surge pricing later in the night like on weekends when people be high like after nine o'clock ten o'clock when folks be high and they got the munchies they'll they'll pay about anything they ain't gonna leave the house i need y'all to explain this to my son because he don't care when he ordered chick-fil-a and all that stuff he don't care that one meal is 30 dollars hey i'll be like ash you're broke why are you doing this but you're not mama right jesus this is exactly it this is a real thing though guys like how it's gonna affect you know like you said jess this is your son he's wendy's we had wendy's yesterday i love john salad by the way but who wants to pay you know 10 20 for something that was normally six or or $7. The real thing, guys, and other fast food companies may take on this and do it as well.
Starting point is 00:32:48 There is going to be a positive effect, though. What? It's going to help to unbig a lot of backs for the spring and the summer. Nobody got time to be spending extra money on fast food. Baker Natives is giving you a whole lot of extravagant back, and you don't need that this spring and summer. It's a luxury. Luxury, extravagant back and you don't need that this spring and summer. They said luxury. Luxury, extravagant,
Starting point is 00:33:06 premium. Premium backs. Whatever you want to call it, this is going to help the unbig-dosed backs for the spring and the summer. All right. Well,
Starting point is 00:33:13 that is front page news. Doubling down on the big back for Greg. That's right. And make sure you follow at Teslin Figueroa on all social media platforms and subscribe
Starting point is 00:33:21 to at Teslin Figueroa's podcast The Scrape Shot No Chaser Podcast on the black effect iheart radio podcast network all right throw that v in that word no matter what oh my god my goodness all right when we come back dr phil will be joining us we're gonna kick it to dr phil next we'll kick it with dr phil next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club
Starting point is 00:33:40 morning everybody it's dj nv jessilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legend. Dr. Phil. Welcome. Good morning, how is everybody? How you feeling? Bless Black and highly favored, how are you?
Starting point is 00:33:55 I'm doing good. You got a new book out, We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul Insanity. I think I was watching Fox News one night and I saw you go down to the border. I did. I went down to the border. That's a really unusual situation down there. I've heard so much about it, but I want to go see it for myself. It's not what you think when you go down there.
Starting point is 00:34:21 First off, they tell everybody that there's this big tension between Texas and the national folks. That's not true at all. I mean, they're having lunch together. They're working together. And their number one priority is keeping everybody safe. Coming across that river is deep and the current is really strong. And they're worried to death people are going to drown, and some do out there.
Starting point is 00:34:49 So they're just people with a job. They're just down there trying to do their job. So what's the biggest issue, you think? What's the problem with the actual border? I think the biggest problem is we don't know who's coming in. Got you. And I've got to be real clear. I am very pro-immigration.
Starting point is 00:35:11 We need people in America. First, this country wouldn't exist without immigrants. And we need immigrants. Our birth rate right now is 1.6. We need 2.1 just to sustain our current infrastructure. We need people in America. Or we can't pay for everything. We need them for jobs and creativity and just the numbers to support the system. We need immigrants.
Starting point is 00:35:37 But we do need to know who's coming in, because I think in just the last month they picked up 17 that are currently on the terrorist watch list yikes and they're not these are not all mexican citizens that are coming they're coming in from syria libya china how are they winding up at the southern border? And even all of those aren't bad. Between 2010 and 2020, they had maybe a couple of hundred, several hundred Chinese come across the border in that time, 1,100, 1,200. In the first 11 months of 2023, it was 33,000. Why?
Starting point is 00:36:29 You really wonder why. And are these people trying to escape the Chinese government and all of the problems they have being under a communist regime? Or are they Chinese operatives that are trying to get into this country to create problems i think it's some of both yeah but how are they getting out of china you just don't wake up in china and say you know think i'll take a flyer think i'll take a trip and leave like you do in america that's not how it works in china China. It's a big deal to get out of China. And if you've got family there, you've got a real problem if you just up and leave. So big questions about people coming across the border, who they are and who they aren't. And the border guards down there aren't trying to close the border.
Starting point is 00:37:23 They're trying to control the border. And that was a big revelation to me. Now, I've seen you when you were down the border, you were saying that, you know, their fear was that there were a lot of drug smugglers coming in and there was a lot of sex trafficking and sex workers coming in. And that was one of the biggest fears. I'm often I'm seldom without words. And I asked Brandon Judd, who's the head of the union for nationally for the border guards. He was a former border judd who's the head of the union for nationally for the board of guards he was a former board of guard he's now head of the union i asked him straight up these children that are coming in they have addresses written on their arms phone numbers written on
Starting point is 00:37:59 their arms and i say so we're contacting those people right and saying the child's coming in with this number do you know this child yes we do are you prepared to take this child yes we are I said what are we doing to check these people out said are we is it possible that we are using our resources and tax dollars to traffic young children into prostitution, sex trade, selling these children, or putting them into sweat shops or whatever? And he said, oh, it's not possible. We are. Wow. We are. And are wow we are and i said whoa whoa whoa
Starting point is 00:38:49 you know there's a camera right here over my shoulder right you're telling me we're spending united states citizens tax dollars to traffic young children into known sex trade or sweatshops. He said, absolutely. I said, why are you not talking about this? Why are people not talking about this? What the hell? And he said, because people aren't asking me these direct questions like you're asking, and I'm grateful for it.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Is that legal at all what is that legal to be able to do that no of course not uh but they're saying we we're overwhelmed down here we we're sending them on and i i said this is outrageous that take the money out of it that we're funding it just the fact that we're trafficking these young children and it doesn't make a difference to me whether they're mexican origin syrian whatever they're showing up unaccompanied and we're trafficking them on that's that's heartbreaking to me absolutely that that that we're doing that and that's why i ask is it is it legal because shouldn't charges be brought up on those people who are at the border who are
Starting point is 00:40:12 allowing those children to get put into sex trafficking yeah you'd think so yeah and he said a lot of these children are getting recycled you'll see children come through and they'll be with a group to make it look like a family. And we'll see that same child cycle back through here a couple of weeks later. It's the same kid. What a different family. They get through and then they send them back around and
Starting point is 00:40:37 put them with another group and they come back, two or three children come back again. We got more with Dr. Phil when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess O'Leary, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Dr. Phil. Well, let me ask you, of course, from your show for years,
Starting point is 00:40:57 you've been fixing people's relationships, fixing people's... Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real,
Starting point is 00:41:37 inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all it's light-hearted pretty crazy and very fun listen to post run high on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts those lives what makes you want to fix amer? That's a great question. I've spent 21 years at CBS doing the show. And what made up the composition of the show is what we would get most of the time. Now, sometimes we do news stories or whatever, but most of the time, probably 85%, 90% of the time, would be based on the letters we would get,
Starting point is 00:42:27 emails that we would get from people writing in. And that determined the content of the show. I didn't want to guess at what people wanted to hear. We looked at what our mail made up, and so we'd choose what was the most common sort of thing we were getting asked. And that's changed across time. Think about this. I'm a little older than you guys.
Starting point is 00:42:53 When I started Dr. Phil in 2002, the first text message had never been sent. Wow. Think about how much has changed. The first text had never been, people weren't doing emails. And then about 08, 09, it was like big C-130s flew over the country and dropped smartphones on everybody. And that changed the world forevermore. And it was the biggest change in our lives since the Industrial Revolution took place way before our generations. But the Industrial Revolution changed everything, right?
Starting point is 00:43:32 Until that time, we were an agricultural world. 95% of the people worked on farms. With the Industrial Revolution, that started changing. Pretty soon, it got down to 25%. Now, it's 1% our agriculture everybody else's mechanized working in tech and all that sort of stuff that changed the world I think smartphones and technology is the biggest change since the Industrial Revolution and why think about you're walking around with
Starting point is 00:44:01 an iPad or a phone in your hand that has more computing power than we had when we put the man on the moon. In your hand. I mean, think about that. The memory, the speed, the computing power, the number of operations you can do per second. You think it's been for better or worse? I think it's better. I mean, but the unintended consequences of it, at that same time, just think about it. Everybody was going through life this way, you know, head up, looking around.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And in 08 or 09, all of a sudden, everybody's head went down looking at the screen. Walk around now. Look out on the streets of New York. Everybody's head's like this. I hate it. You know how many times people check their phones every day? Too much. 352 times a day on average that includes old people not just kids on average 352 times a day now you're you figure you sleep eight hours so that's 16 during 16 hours they check their
Starting point is 00:45:02 phone 352 times during those waking hours. And at the same time that those cell phones came out, we saw the biggest spikes in depression, anxiety, and loneliness with young people since records started getting kept. That's right. And why? Because they stopped living their lives and started watching people live their lives and they started comparing their life to the life they were they were watching being lived on that phone and the problem was the life they were watching was a fiction yeah we watch they spend so much time watching everybody's highlight reel comparing their real life to a highlight reel
Starting point is 00:45:41 and that highlight reel is fake most of the time. I've had these influencers on the show and they say, I post this reel up and I'm putting on these great clothes and all that. So excited going to the NBA All-Star game tonight. Got seats on the floor
Starting point is 00:46:00 and all this stuff. As soon as that video's over, I carefully take those clothes off because they have to go back. I don't own them. I have to return them. I couldn't afford to buy those clothes. And then I put my sweats on
Starting point is 00:46:15 and put my happy ass on the couch. I don't have tickets to the NBA All-Star Game. I'm just doing that to get followers. They're just like everybody else but all these other people are watching this and saying god what a loser am i i'm not going to any game i don't have clothes like that and so by comparison their self-esteem and their self-worth goes down and they say it's terrible i think smartphones have ruined the sanity of America. And I don't think that, I think in the long run, we're going to realize it wasn't what we thought.
Starting point is 00:46:52 It wasn't as good as we thought it was. Yeah, I think the downsides are huge. And I don't even think it's the phones. It's social media more so than anything. Yeah, it's definitely social media. People don't know. But to answer your question, why am I focused on America? That's right. The questions started changing.
Starting point is 00:47:09 The questions started changing. People started saying, you know, my kids, when I turned 16, when I was 355 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes old, I was standing at the DMV to get my driver's license, right? I wanted that license because it's freedom, right? You can get out and go. And they don't even get their driver's license when they turn 16 anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:33 No, they don't. They don't care. Yeah. They date later. They start having sex later. They engage with the world later. On average, they have less than one good friend
Starting point is 00:47:42 because they live for followers and clicks and all that. So they're not developing emotionally, and they're depressed, anxious, and lonely. So the downside is really bad. So the questions started changing. I had to start dealing with cyberbullying, cyberpredators, pretending to be a 14-year-old guy, getting a 14-year year old girl to come out her bedroom window and meet them at midnight and they got there is a 45 year old pedophile that abducted them and and took off you know all of these the
Starting point is 00:48:15 questions started changing and they've continued to change now where kids are concerned about parents are concerned you, what are their kids getting exposed to at school? Are they getting groomed on the internet? You know, they think they're back there playing a video game. They don't realize those video games are internet capable. And so they're in chat rooms while they're playing the game, you know, things like that. And then all of these issues that are now pounding on families, because I think families in America are under attack. And I think the family unit is the backbone of America. And if that's under attack, then America gets weakened.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And somebody's got to stand up and call this stuff out. And those are the questions I'm getting. And I didn't want to write another book. You know, you've written books and a lot of work yeah I got another one coming out soon yeah and how much work is it this one took me five six years yeah that's what I mean yeah yeah and that's time away from family you got to go get a room by yourself you got to sit down and write this stuff out this is the longest book I've written it's a hundred thousand words
Starting point is 00:49:25 and you probably write three or four hundred thousand to get those hundred thousand it's a lot of work a lot of solitude a lot but i felt like i had to write this book somebody's got to call this stuff out all right we got more with dr phil when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy jess larry charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with dr phil he's here charlin why do people act like what's happening currently in america is normal like why are we acting like this all of this stuff is normal it's like this especially in politics like you got a guy who's got 91 criminal charges, four indictments, two impeachments, you know, let an attempted coup in this country. Why are we acting like this is just business as usual?
Starting point is 00:50:11 I think part of it is I've got a study that I talk about in the book that goes back to 1950 and compares it to now. The percentage of people that are afraid to express their opinion has tripled in the last 75 years. People are afraid to speak up. That's your principle number six, right? Yeah. Do not stay silent just so others can remain comfortable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Because now people say, if I say something it's going to piss somebody off and they're going to come after me. Now, I don't talk politics for a different reason. I don't know enough about it to talk about it. I don't think a lot of people that talk about it know enough about it to talk about it. I'm just willing to admit it. But you've got common sense, though.
Starting point is 00:50:56 You know right from wrong. I do. Yeah. We may not know policies and legislations and all that, but we can look with our eyeballs and see when something isn't right. You know, that's what I said when Hamas attacked Israel. I don't know geopolitics. I don't know all of that.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I don't know the several thousand year history of that part of the world. But I know when an infant is murdered in their crib, that's wrong. I don't need to be a politician to know that's wrong. And when I was listening to all that and I was going to speak on it, I talked to the Israeli consulate and said, I am going to speak on this because I think it's terrible. I was hearing things on college campuses that were so close to what the Hitler Youth rallies were saying. I thought I'd never hear that in my lifetime.
Starting point is 00:51:59 But I said, I got to see this with my own eyes. I can't go just on hearsay. And so the IDF, the Israeli consulate and the Israeli Defense Force came to my house under guard with classified footage and showed me what had gone on in that invasion with footage that's still not been released. And I knew then that what I was hearing was true and accurate. But then you got Gaza, where it's 30,000 dead in Gaza. They say mostly those people are women and children. So it's just like it's the same. No, it's not the same. You don't think it's the same?
Starting point is 00:52:40 Hell no, it's not the same. Someone that is killed in an act of war, dropping a bomb and there's collateral damage, is not the same as invaders coming in and attacking noncombatants and killing children in their beds. There's no moral equivalent to that. But you don't think that we should at least try to protect the innocent absolutely we should but you can't invade and then go back and hide in a school and say okay here i am so you can't you can't attack me now because i'm hiding in a school no you can't hide in a school and be safe.
Starting point is 00:53:30 And if you did, first off, that's a war crime to do that, and you can't do that. Is it terrible that all of these people are being killed, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip? That's horrible. And I think every effort needs to be made to minimize that, to hold that down. And anything that can be done to make surgical assaults and get into those tunnels and do everything you can to not harm civilians, certainly children or whatever, you should be held to the highest possible standard in that regard. Because if we saw that in America, if somebody went to a school, a mass shooter,
Starting point is 00:54:16 and the people showed up at the school and they said, hey, we've got to blow up the whole school in order to get the mass shooter, we would not go for that, Dr. Phil. Of course not. Of course not that would be horrible uh and unacceptable you can't do that but you can't let these people come and do what they did and then run back and and hide among innocent people and everybody says we need a ceasefire we had a ceasefire on october 6th we had a ceasefire then on october 7th they did this so what are you supposed to do you you have to try to root these people out and there's not a there's not an easy way to do that and i hope and pray the
Starting point is 00:55:02 palestinians will run haas out of there because I don't think it's about Palestine. I think it's about Iran. And what bothers me as much as anything is that we've got American students that are cheering on these murderers. I mean instantly I saw a sign, you know, gays for Palestine. Well, gays will get killed and walk that into the Gaza Strip and see how far you get. I mean, are they not teaching them critical thinking?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Oh, no. That goes back to what we talk about with social media. I truly feel like a lot of folks go on social media and they go on there to see how they should feel about something. Like like how you can sit here and say, I don't know about this issue. Or I can say, I don't know about the issue. They won't do that. They'll go on social media and see what the mass majority of people on social media are thinking about something. And they start parroting those talking points. And that's not just with that situation.
Starting point is 00:55:56 That's just with a lot of situations. Well, I saw a stat the other day, a scary number. I mean, I'm talking way over 50% of young people get 100% of their news from TikTok. Jesus Christ. That's horrible. I put a clip up of my trip
Starting point is 00:56:18 to the border. It was maybe 20 seconds, 30 seconds. I posted it up on Facebook and Instagram. And it was a part of me talking to him about trafficking these children. And it was up about 50 minutes and going viral super fast. I mean, like tens of thousands of views in a matter of just a few minutes. It was just going straight vertical.
Starting point is 00:56:44 And then, bang, it just stopped. It got shut down. of just a few minutes it was just going just straight vertical and then bang it just stopped it got shut down they they just the algorithm they just shut it down and you couldn't see it that happens a lot of our content too especially anytime you're talking politics anything like that big YouTube has been suppressing us for some years yeah it It was shut down on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. How do you feel about that? I feel like what you said in Chapter 7, we're doing our enemy's work for them because you're stifling freedom of speech and you're not letting people see the truth for themselves.
Starting point is 00:57:19 And you're just letting them run with this false information that may be out there on social media about a lot of these uh these things that we're talking about we're muzzling each other what the hell is up with that that's right we're muzzling each other you asked the question that i should have been asking a long time ago so i'll probably steal that and take credit when you're not around why are we acting like this is normal yeah you know they're shutting down y'all's content they're shutting down my content and they shut it down because it was border and children and people were getting upset by so no we can't we can't have this and it's not even just social media too it's the news networks right because fox news like say if i'm having a conversation and i'm
Starting point is 00:58:04 i'm i'm critical of donald trump and I'm saying he's a threat to democracy. But I'm also saying, hey, Joe Biden is an uninspiring candidate. Right. Fox News will take the uninspiring candidate clip, amplify that all on their platform all day long. And then the people on the left, instead of focusing on what I said about Trump and him being a threat to democracy, they'll focus on the clip that Fox News pushed out there. So I'm like, who are y'all working for fox news knows how to push their narrative i feel like cnn msnbc don't really know how to push theirs yeah the reason is they don't know how to identify an enemy and target that and go at it in a a targeted fashion you got to identify an enemy the cause, and then set forth an agenda.
Starting point is 00:58:46 And that's what mainstream America doesn't do very well. And the left does it, but they do it to their own. Yes, they do. The right stays focused on the left and taking them out. The left end up taking out each other. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're doing it to ourselves. Oh, my God, man.
Starting point is 00:59:00 We've got issues. The new book is out right now. How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul Insanity. Dr. Phil, we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you so much.

Starting point is 00:59:51 to make sure you don't go rogue what I'm just looking I'm just observing I'm gonna be alright this is my job y'all shouldn't have
Starting point is 00:59:59 gave it to me listen the judge in Wendy Williams guardianship case is being investigated so the neighborhood talk exclusively reported that the judge in Wendy Williams guardianship case is being investigated so the neighborhood talk exclusively reported
Starting point is 01:00:07 that the judge in Wendy Williams guardianship case was once investigated for granting guardianship appointments to people who donated money
Starting point is 01:00:14 to her Supreme Court election campaign this is juicy and it's crazy alright so Wendy's son was taking care of her in you know 2022
Starting point is 01:00:21 but Wells Fargo petitioned to have Wendy placed under temporary financial guardianship to protect her funds and all that. So that's when they threatened to take his mother away from him, right?
Starting point is 01:00:32 The judge overseeing the case appointed a professional guardian after they took his mother from him. Her name was Sabrina Morrissey. She also reportedly, oh yeah, I already said she threatened. Okay, always say she threatened okay the judge's name the judge's name y'all listen up because this is this is who we need to be paying attention Lisa Sokoloff she was apparently investigated by ABC 7 New York News after a paper trail was revealed that she
Starting point is 01:00:57 granted guardianships to people who donated you know to our election campaign from 2019 to 2022 she received $5,700 approximately $5,720 in campaign donations from 20 guardianship lawyers, law firms, or people who deal in guardianship cases. She awarded those same people appointments, 62 appointments in 2022. There is no evidence to confirm that Wendy's guardian donated to Lisa's campaign. But this all seems interesting considering the time and how many questions surrounds Wendy's guardianship. You know what's going to be so interesting about this Wendy Williams documentary? Whoever decided to exploit her to get a quick dollar will end up exposing themselves. Yep.
Starting point is 01:01:38 You know what I mean? Clearly there's some BS going on. Clearly there's some foul stuff going on. Clearly there's some dirt going on. All this did, all you did was put a flare in the air to say, hey, come over here,
Starting point is 01:01:47 come get us. But I do have a question. So when it comes to the guardianship and they control the money and control a lot of the, I guess the things in Wendy's life, how does the guardian get paid?
Starting point is 01:01:58 Does the guardian get paid from Wendy Williams? Does the estate have to pay the guardian? I'll do that investigation and I'll let you know tomorrow. Thank you. But Fat Joe.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Fat Joe speaks on hand. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy and very fun listen to post run high on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and the trump sneakers look what you just thought of charlamagne how did i stop you on this radio you know you know getting your brothers promoting this shoe i told y'all influencing your brothers you, I'm not a sneakerhead, but being a sneakerhead is an addiction.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Sneakerheads like two things. They like sneakers that look very fly. Sneakers that got high resale value. Exclusive. Exclusive sneakers. It's rare. Very rare. You tell the story.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Basically, that's what I said. And you started it. And you put the ID and people see it. So speaking of. I just know niggas. During a recent Instagram live video, Fat Joe defended having a pair of Donald Trump sneakers. Now me as a sneaker collector, I had to get my hand on the Trumps. I have thousands and thousands pair of sneakers.
Starting point is 01:03:56 When everybody flipped on Kanye, I went and bought the two most exclusive Kanye's ever. Once again, I'm not a Trumper. I dislike Trump. I'm not voting for him not now not never but I'm a sneaker collector into the art no I didn't pay for these sneakers they knew I had to have them because I'm the biggest in the game so the thing is why did we need to know that then you know and I've seen somebody in his comments that's okay you're what do you mean you're not supporting him or you can say you you don't like him, but you just had to have him. One, we didn't need to know that you put it out there.
Starting point is 01:04:28 You put it out there that you had them. That's true. And then somebody said, if George Zimmerman came out with a shoe, you going to buy it? Because you have to collect it? Because you're such a sneakerhead and you have to have the shoe? That's kind of a false equivalency, though. Okay. Well, let's say, if Diddy come out with a shoe, you going it how about that one because that was mine diddy that's a false equivalency too
Starting point is 01:04:50 but they're all sneakers right they're all sneakers and you're a sneaker collector well he did say he did say he bought the yeezys when yeezy was in the midst of his controversy yeah he said he didn't buy the trump they said they sent it to him but he didn't say he didn't like yeezy and that he didn't support yeezy yeah he's saying he don't like trump he's not voting for him he you know he's not in support of he probably fragile probably did not have to broadcast that right because because you're giving you're giving the trump campaign a free commercial by doing that and you know like these conservative sites are going to you know take that clip and chop it up and remix it and make it look like something else and now you're having to explain yourself but he did get a pair of free sneakers right that retail for $3.99 but
Starting point is 01:05:29 online last week they was going for like $2,500 resale value and they're $4,000 now $4,000 now yeah come on man but let me ask you a question even when it comes to art if you buy somebody's art and you don't know their background of the art and you buy and you buy that. But their background could be horrible. You're saying they four thousand. But a man purchased a pair for nine thousand. One pair is listed on eBay for thirty thousand. Another pair is listed for four hundred and fifty thousand. To think that people are getting these sneakers because their Trump supporters is crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:58 You don't understand the sneaker culture. I'm not a sneaker head, but I understand the sneaker culture. These people care about sneakers that look good and sneakers that have high resale value you can't rare as well if you get a pair of free sneakers that go for $3.99 but they're selling for $4,000 $9,000 that is huge in the sneaker world yeah yeah it's a flip yep yep so before we end this gabby sadiba announces she's uh she's expecting gabby sadiba okay yeah that's nice let it go that is well who am i to correct you what no no i think her gabby is that that's her nickname so i don't know how to pronounce her full first name yeah boy it's sadiba it's sadiba all right well sadiba
Starting point is 01:06:37 she having two babies by her husband she's expecting twins twins so that's clapping up by her husband y'all congratulations yes and that's Clap It Up by her husband, y'all. Congratulations. Yes, and that's Jess with the mess for the second hour. All right. Thank you, Jess. Now, Charlamagne. Yes. Who you giving it down?
Starting point is 01:06:50 Couture. So after the hour, man, let's talk about the divine feminine and the sacred masculine. Why don't we? And let's talk player haters. Okay?
Starting point is 01:06:59 What? You want to talk what? The divine. Divine, feminine, sacred, masculine and player haters. We're going to bring all of that together. You'll see. You're going to be all of that together. You'll see.
Starting point is 01:07:05 You better not be giving me Donkey. And Tyler Perry. Why would I ever? I don't know. You gave it to Monique. Don't try giving me. Cut it out. We'll get to that next.
Starting point is 01:07:15 It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Some donkey todays just saw themselves I've been watching charlamagne I was ready for you
Starting point is 01:07:27 I never heard of donkey the other day What is it? Say it again charlamagne I'm a donkey You are a donkey Everything That charlamagne is saying is true Yes
Starting point is 01:07:44 Donkey of the day for Wednesday. What's today's date? February 28th. Goes to a vocalist named Diego from a band called La Rona. According to the New York Post, they are a small-time, hardcore band who is having a moment of viral fame because Diego is one of the biggest player haters the world has ever seen. Okay, listen to me.
Starting point is 01:08:01 He would have won first place at the Player Haters Ball easily with this one. All right, Silky Johnson, Buck Nasty, they don't got nothing on him. Diego tried to force a transition on one of his bandmates. Not a transition from drums to guitar or background vocalist to lead vocalist. No, I'm talking gender. Yes, he tried to force a gender transition on his bandmate because he was trying to steal his bandmate's fiance. I'm not making any of this up. Okay, I've heard stories of men who like their homies' girls and they've told the girl things their homie did in hopes of breaking them up.
Starting point is 01:08:38 But trying to transition someone's whole gender in order to get with their woman is insanity this guy was giving his bandmate pre-workout drinks laced with estrogen in order to force the transition y'all don't believe me huh well maybe you'll believe kennedy listen to kennedy she's white so there's a hardcore band i believe they are out of nashville called larona the singer diego uh fell in love the bandmate's name is six so diego fell in love with six's wife he and six were doing some workouts and diego was apparently working in the gym and had access to somehow hormones so he figured if he could get his bandmate to transition and be super womanly then he himself at the same time would make himself more manly so he started juicing his bandmate smoothies with estrogen so he got hammered one night and he's like your boobs and everything and
Starting point is 01:09:47 like your new periods and stuff that's because i've been putting estrogen in your protein smoothies so uh six saved couple cups of the special sauce and is going to give them to the authorities that audio was from a kennedy saved podcast. Look, do you know neighboring tribes from prehistoric times were prepared to brutally kill their male rivals to secure their women? That's what this is. This is caveman behavior. OK, Diego thinks he can have a drunken brawl in a pub to win a woman's love. There have been archaeological findings that suggest evidence that suggests violence took place over mates as early as prehistoric times. OK, Diego clearly is the descendants of those tribes.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Diego thinks he's Quincy and he thinks his bandmate is Monica from Love and Basketball, except he wants to play for a heart that don't even belong in either one of them. OK, the whole concept of stealing someone's woman. I don't understand. I don't understand people who have that mindset okay if i take you know this person out then what they have will be mine who says she wants you if she wanted you she would leave her fiance to be with you happens all the time now this could just be a publicity stunt to shine light on this band's name if that's the case that deserves the biggest hee haw too but the reason he's getting the biggest hee haw is because i need to know diego's age because he's either very older or he's just not paying attention to the world around him because diego giving a man estrogen shots to make him more feminine is hustling backwards if what you are
Starting point is 01:11:14 trying to accomplish is taking his girl do you not realize in 2024 women want men to be perfect balances of the sacred masculine and the divine feminine you're not turning her off if that guy gets a little softer okay drake been the biggest rapper in the world for a long time now and he loves lavender bath bombs and scented candles okay some of the most gangster rappers in the world wear dresses rock man purses get their fingernails painted and these ladies love them okay according to a study conducted by david parrot of the University of St. Andrews, women prefer masculine men for short-term relationships, but healthy and feminine men for long-term relationships. Okay? This is because they perceive macho-looking men to be more likely to be unfaithful.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Is there any truth to this, Jess? Look, I don't know. Okay, never mind. I don't know. I never know. Turn the mic off, as a matter of fact. Okay? All right.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Listen, I was called a butch queen yesterday. Okay? Now, this is just... All right? All right? Listen, I was called a butch queen yesterday. Okay? And a butch queen is a gay male who is neither overtly masculine nor overly feminine, but displays the mannerism of both genders. Other than the gay of it all, that was flattering. Drop on the clues bombs. Okay? Y'all butch queen.
Starting point is 01:12:19 That's that divine masculine and divine feminine balance. Okay? The masculine witnesses the universe the feminine is the universe all right we all hold both of these universal yin and yang energies within us regardless of biology so diego what you really did was probably bring this man and his fiancee closer together okay all i know is that this is a Tyler Perry movie waiting to happen. A man so obsessed with a woman that he tries to force her boyfriend to change genders. Tyler, you got to bring this to life. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:52 The only other plot to us that could make this more interesting is that Diego wasn't trying to force him to transition because he wanted his girlfriend. He was trying to force him to transition because he wanted those cheeks for himself. All right. Diego wanted to play a solo with his bandmates penis, but he wanted to some renovations first all right and the poor bandmate he goes by the name of six caused him all types of confusions thousands of dollars in medical bills he's trying to figure out what's going on he's growing titties and listening to phoebe bridges records non-stop and doesn't know why he said the physical changes with his hormones he's having stomach ulcers weight loss muscle fatigue mental changes can you imagine all of a sudden you can't grow no facial and body hair and your penis is shrinking and you don't know what the hell is happening?
Starting point is 01:13:29 All because a man is hating. Please let Remy Ma give Diego the biggest hee haw. Hee haw. Hee haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. That's a different level of hate. You can't speak for every woman to be like, oh, they want some type of softness in these men today.
Starting point is 01:13:47 You're right. Don't say that. Okay. But some of them do. All right. You like a little softness. Excuse me? You like a little softness.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Where are you getting this from? You act tough all you want. You sensitive. I am sensitive. Yes, you are. And I am soft. But my man, no. I don't like a little.
Starting point is 01:14:04 No, no. I can be soft enough for both of nah. I don't like a little, no, no. I can be soft enough for both of us. Y'all did a wheelbarrow photo shoot. Okay. Y'all, listen. You did a wheelbarrow photo shoot. Y'all did do a wheelbarrow photo shoot. You did a wheelbarrow photo shoot.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Okay. Only a man that can just, you know, know when to be vulnerable. But he wasn't on the ground. How about that? He wasn't on the ground. He wasn't holding up. Thank you very much. Yes.
Starting point is 01:14:20 He was, I was the wheelbarrow. That's right. That's right. And just because you got a soft side don't mean you not a man. Like you can still fight and all that. But your references was crazy, Leonard. You said, oh, it's someone who mainly is rappers, wear dresses. I wish my nigga was.
Starting point is 01:14:35 There's no way. Jesus Christ. No. Okay. What? Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. What's wrong with you? Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:14:44 800-585-1051. Yes. The BBB has been attacking Charlamagne the last couple days. The Big Back Brigade, they've been on my head and I don't understand why. I love the Big Back Brigade.
Starting point is 01:14:54 I have no problem with the Big Back Brigade. They don't like the term Big Back. And you can't say that if you don't have a Big Back. I mean, I was called Small Ass Back and I was like, thank you. But I'm just saying,
Starting point is 01:15:04 if you don't have a big back you can't relate so you cannot give them a name as right i just i just want to know is big back really offensive yo and if it is then what else should we be using somebody called in this morning and said luxury luxury back right okay no they just said luxury back they just said luxury they left the back out of it they like to be called luxury luxury size because we're you know we're bigger so luxury size but luxury is expensive it doesn't mean that does not mean big it's just why you can't say what's wrong saying luxurious back then we say premium back we like premium back yeah well i think that's kind of gasoline like i'm gonna want premium like that. Premium don't just mean gas, crazy.
Starting point is 01:15:45 But that's what I think about when I think of premium gas. Luxury don't mean big. Extravagant back. When you big, you got gas a lot. So that could be. That would equal so many other things. So no, we're just going to leave premium where it's at. You can't say extravagant.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Extravagant is over the top. So that's what I'm saying. Extravagant back? Over the top back. You can't say that. But that means a big fancy back. A big fancy back. Let's talk about it then.
Starting point is 01:16:05 All right. Is big back really a fence? 800-585-1051. And I was wondering, like, people were so upset about it. I didn't really. Y'all told me that, but I didn't see it. I know, y'all. You didn't see it.

Starting point is 01:17:46 I didn't see this woman. I didn't know the size of this woman. I just said it sounded like big back behavior. Yeah. But what does that sound like? Whatever you was reporting. Just in my mind.
Starting point is 01:17:56 That's what I thought at the time. I didn't put any real thought into it. No, and that's also just just assess to the fact that, and I can assess to the fact that us small backs get cheated on as well. We get lied to, we get played, because it's not even the trait of a luxury-sized woman to believe what she wants to be told, you know, believe what she's told because she
Starting point is 01:18:14 wants love so bad. That's some women, period. But I guess it was a little thickness in her voice that made you assume that she, yeah, because everyone wants to know why. But either way. It had nothing to do with her voice. You just told a story the story that's what came to my mind i'm like yo this is big back and you were right because she was luxury size and it wasn't anything personal towards her i didn't even know what she looked like i just said this sounded like big back behavior and i
Starting point is 01:18:36 talked about big back she's pretty she's pretty yeah it's not even about how she looks yes so so you want to come up with a term to call BBBs. Well, because people are saying that big back is offensive. So, you know, people have been hitting me, saluting my guy Dre. He's our guy at 103.5 The Beat in Miami. He says we should use high-quality backs. All right? Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:18:55 He said. No, because I got a high-quality back, too, but it ain't big. Like, don't, excuse me, what are you talking about? Another one of my homies hit me and said, if gays can be broke back, then heavyset people can be big back i'm just letting you know that broke back i like that that is so clever somebody else called this morning and said luxury luxurious back luxurious or they say luxury size luxury size she said take the back out of it so we can say extravagant back premium back you know when i look up other words for big i don't like those i don't like massive back colossal back damn mammoth back whale enormous back dolphin you know what i'm saying it's given
Starting point is 01:19:30 like yeah the biggest fish in ocean whale like because big back don't necessarily mean fat either what do you think you still thinking on it i don't i i i'm trying to think of a word and it's hard that means big paws but that's not offensive. I don't know if big back is offensive or if they're just playing on social media. No, but it's only not offensive because y'all aren't big people. What about large back? Because extra large back would be offensive.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Damn. Large back sounds crazy. A large? A large ain't that big. Large is big. If I get a large hoodie, that's not a big hoodie. That is.
Starting point is 01:20:03 If you say 3X, like Matt, who works up here, he wears 5 large hoodie, that's not a big hoodie. That is. If you say 3X, like, you know, Matt, who works up here, he wears 5X. So that's disrespectful. But if Max was a large, you wouldn't say that's big. Yeah, we got the president
Starting point is 01:20:12 of the Fat Lives Matter Committee. Let's take some calls, but then hit the wobble. Hit wobble red so Matt can walk in. What about medium plus? Medium plus. Medium plus back.
Starting point is 01:20:20 Okay. Just medium plus. I think it's the back because you're labeling something. You're putting a, yeah. Wait, big back don't just mean fat. There's plenty of diesel people that got big back. Oh, diesel back.
Starting point is 01:20:32 Oh, shit. You got to have muscles. You got to have muscles. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's DeVar from Jersey. What's up, DJ Envy? What's up, DeVar? Talk to us, brother.

You call somebody thick, it's something. You know what I mean? When I was growing
Starting point is 01:20:51 up, they used to call me slim. What I did was I started drinking my protein shake, got in the gym, and got right. So this might motivate a lot of people that are big back to get in the gym. He was scared to say it. By the way, he didn't bring up a good point.
Starting point is 01:21:07 If people can be big boned, what's wrong with being big back? Because some things can't change. They call you short stuff. They call you raccoon eyes, wide body. They call you fat ass. I've never heard none of these things. Trading faces. They call you sassy.
Starting point is 01:21:18 They call you thick hoes. I've never heard none of these things. I've never heard none of these things. I've never heard any of these things.

Starting point is 01:37:48 and what the hell I look like standing on my luxury ass car? That is cat. And I would also like to say, even though I think they're playing, that was fat shaming. That was fat shaming. If it's fat shaming when I say big back, he caught him at wide body hellcat hips.
Starting point is 01:38:03 But on the positive side of this, Drewski did unbig his back a lot because he was a lot bigger when he came up here last time. And I wasn't here. That's right. But he called him a vagina. So they were just going back and forth. He did. I think they playing. They are.
Starting point is 01:38:14 I thought Drewski was playing when he was here. Yeah. And I think that King is playing now. Yeah. Well, let me. Those are some good jokes, King. I know it was. It was.
Starting point is 01:38:21 It was. It was. It was. Fantastic jokes. Drop one of Clues Bombs for King's joke. He thought about it before he went live with that one. You might need to join your daddy on stage and do some stand-up. And it may be some truth to that because King deleted the post.
Starting point is 01:38:34 And they just playing. Yeah, maybe so. You can't say they just playing. But those were some hurtful playing jokes. They're going to stick with it. That's what I'm saying.

Salute to my guy, BDOT. He puts out a podcast every day during Black History Month called I Didn't Know, Maybe You Didn't Either. And today he's talking to you about EEE Ward moving in storage, recognizes the oldest operated black-owned business in the U.S. Take it away, BDOT. On today's episode of I Didn't Know, Maybe You Didn't either. I would like to echo the sentiments. Support black business.
Starting point is 01:40:34 I've been saying this a lot this February and I'm sure I'll be saying it again in June for Juneteenth. But do you know what the first black owned business was? Because I did. E.E. Ward moving in storage is recognized by the U.S. Department of Commerce as the oldest continuously operating black owned business in the united states it was founded in 1881 by william ward and john t ward so in the 1830s john t ward moved to columbus and while he was there he serviced one of the travel points or the mile marker points of the Underground Railroad. He would stuff as many black folks as he could in his wagon and very inconspicuously, he would travel for a half day or maybe even a full day, just getting them black folks as close to up north as they could so they could get the freedom.
Starting point is 01:41:16 See John T. Ward, he had the horses and the wagons. And William Ward, he was a former foreman and a supervisor of the Union Transfer and Storage Company of Columbus. So after the Civil War, John T. Ward, he got government contracts so he could haul ammunition and supplies and equipment for the army. So what'd he do? He finessed it. In 1881, around that time, when he was using the freight wagons to carry the supplies for the war, he simultaneously was starting E.E. Ward Moving and Storage in Columbus. See, in 1881, it was Ward Transfer Line. Then it was later called Ward Storage and Transfer
Starting point is 01:41:51 Company. But by 1899, it became E.E. Ward Moving and Storage Company. That was after John T. Ward's grandson, Edgar Earl, took over the business. Edgar Earl, cacked almighty. Yeah, you got to roll with E.E. Ward on that one. But now E.E. Ward is a nationally recognized leader in transportation and relocation. It was operated by the Ward family from 1881 to 2001, but now it's owned by
Starting point is 01:42:15 Brian and Dominique Brooks. But they did more than expand the business. When the Brooks family took over, E.E. Ward had five employees. Now they got between 75 and 100. You seen them big trucks with the blue backgrounds and the white letters that say North American? That's E.E. Ward now.
Starting point is 01:42:32 They got two locations, too. They still got their headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. And they also got a branch in where I stay, Charlotte, North Carolina. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. Alright, we'll salute to BDOT and that's right make sure you come check out my guy BDOT Saturday April 27th in Atlanta Georgia he's

Number two, they want to be you. Number three, they see you as a threat. When you love yourself, you are incapable of hating anyone no matter what they've done. Always remember that. Did that approve?
