We got front page news Me me will be joining us Morgan's actually out today as well and let's get into the tweaker remix featuring little Wayne It's the breakfast club. Good morning. How's the tweaker remix? What you thought? Did you hear it? I love Wayne. Nah, I heard Wayne part a little bit. He is play on the a B's and the baby. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep Yeah, well morning everybody. We are the breakfast breakfast club let's get in some front page news now this Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday and Super Bowl of course the Chiefs vs. the Eagles that happens Sunday February 9th at 630 p.m. so the game will start at 630 good morning Mimi good morning and good morning Jeff how y'all doing good girl

good good good happy Friday so I'll just jump right in you know the first story I Good morning, N.V. Good morning, Jeff. How y'all doing? Good. Good girl. Good. Good. Good. Happy Friday. So I'll just jump right in. You know, the first story I think has been making headlines all week, a major shakeup in the federal workforce is underway and a judge has now stepped in and hit pause at least for now. We're talking about the Trump administration's controversial deferred resignation offer, which gives federal workers a tough choice, resign now and keep their pay and benefits through September or stay and face potential layoffs. But thanks to a lawsuit from labor unions, a federal judge has delayed the lawsuit at least until Monday. The original deadline was yesterday. Now the

judge in the case will hear arguments from both sides at a court hearing scheduled for Monday afternoon. Now this buyout, it is being led by Elon Musk and his newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Democrats of course are slamming his efforts to downsize the federal government as illegal. Let's listen to what House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had to say. What we are seeing fold is an unlawful power grab by a unelected and unaccountable billionaire puppet master who's pulling the strings of House Republicans and apparently the Trump administration.

Now according to reports, more than 60,000 workers, they have already accepted the offer. The Trump administration is hoping for 200,000 workers to accept this offer. They need 10% of the federal workforce to resign. They say they're not worried. They think that people will take the offer right before the deadline. Any thoughts on that, guys? So just to refresh people's mind, this offer is offering them a cash buyout for them to quit their jobs and he wants to hire people that has similar beliefs to work with him? Yeah. That's insane. Yeah. So they're offering them a buyout through the end of September. So you resign now

You just reply to the email you put resign in the subject line You can resign you get eight months of pay but a lot of people are like we don't really believe that he's gonna follow through with this so We'll see what happens. They're gonna go to court on Monday and both sides will battle it out in court. Yeah, so moving on a judge in Washington state is now blocking President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. Now, this ruling comes just one day after a Maryland judge also blocked the order. Trump, he signed this executive order on his first day back into office, aiming to restrict

birthright citizenship so it would not apply to children born in the U.S. to parents who are not here illegally. Let's hear from Washington Attorney General Nick Brown, who says Trump is overstepping his authority when he issued this executive order in the first place. We're back to the status quo that we've had in this country for 150 years, that you are an American if you are born on US soil. We do not have a king. We have a president who must abide by the laws.

And if they want to amend the Constitution, there is a process by which to do that. Right, and that process includes going you know, going through Congress. So this order was set to take effect on February 19th, but that has now been halted and the Justice Department, they are appealing this decision and this court is headed to, this case is headed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, but the case is expected to go all the way to the Supreme Court. Okay. Yeah.

Alright, well that is front page news. We'll see you next hour. Yep, coming up we'll talk Super Bowl ticket prices and how they are taking a major dive and why they are so much cheaper this year.

I hope you're telling the truth Yeah Yeah, I see. No, I could talk, but I'm just trying to pick up. I'm just so nervous. You what? Yeah, she can't really talk. I'm just so nervous. She sound like she in the bathroom.

Yeah, I mean to be honest with you, people can't really help you if you don't really tell the story. So I understand that you know you're going through a lot right now, but you do have to speak up just a tad bit and let everybody know what you're really dealing with. Okay, I'm so sorry. I can't speak. It's just that I'm going through so much emotions that I'm just, I can't. And what about family?

You got family and friends, mama? Yes, they've been helping me, but like that's, they've been helping me with my food and stuff like that. And I thought I had time. I thought it was like four months, but it was three months that they start to repossess it. Check your cash out.

Let me see if you got what I just sent. Okay. And how much is the note a month for your Jetta? Oh yes, I got it. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it. And all the viewers out there, your Jetta? Oh yes, I got it. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it and all the viewers out there. Anything helps, please, please, please. And I hope you're really spending this money

on what you said. Don't go buy no weed now. Don't go buy a zip of that Good Good in Florida or something. How much is the Jetta note a month, mama? 444. You said 444? Yes. Okay, mama.

444 for a Jetta? Yeah. What the hell? No. I'm so sorry. You're going downgrade. Get you a Honda next time, okay? No, she probably got the car when the prices were high, because it was one time when all those car prices were high. That's why it's probably extremely high. You know, I know a repossession on your credit is bad, but the cars right now, they're damn, they're giving them away.

If you actually, I mean, it would be hard to lose it, but if he was able to get a new car now, it would probably be like $199 Calling up here to get $2,000 to get your car to represent, but you know what if you go buy another one right now right now Listening if they took that car and she was able to get another car in a family member's name it would be two or three hundred dollars cheaper if you idiots were listening why would she get her car in another family member's name? Sometimes she can't. Can we deal with the problem at hand? But if she can't pay for this car this month she ain't gonna be able to pay for the next one it's too expensive for her. Maybe she need to start riding the bus. How about give her that advice? Maybe she need to get rid of the car.

No, she did just get a job yo and she don't get paid to the 16th. But if she got to pay for food, she said she had family members help her with food and rent and all that other stuff. Sometimes you gotta let it go and then get something cheaper. That's all I would say. Definitely let it go. You save something that you know they'll save it now but next month you have the same problem. Is she still on the line? No, she hung up. She got your money hung up. up. I hope she does okay. I hope she does too get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent hit us up now. It's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club

All these love suits against Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick's making him look like a fool. I think Drake needs my help. Check it out. Kendrick Lamar is only four feet tall. It's not enough. He can't kiss Lisa Leslie because he ain't tall enough. He got 20 pair of short pants, so he ain't that tough What do you all think about my song? Is it rough? There's no way that this guy has employment anywhere I just don't see it for he said

He's great is not suing Kendrick He says have you ever seen him Drake is definitely Drake ain't suing Kendrick, but he might as well be That's why you gonna lose that lawsuit because because if you suing the record label, but you using Kendrick's lyrics to sue the record label. But I'm not suing Kendrick, I'm suing the love. But he's not suing Kendrick though. Kendrick, I saw a picture of Drake yesterday with some cowboy rain boots on.

No you didn't. Yes I did, he was in Australia. He had on like some rain boots, but they were cowboy boots. You ain't seen them? They were bright blue, I didn't see rainbow, they were like blue.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and my latest episode is with Bill Gates.

This is a world where somebody can have over a hundred billion dollars. What is that? These fortunes are almost illegitimate unless in a very smart way given back. One of the biggest names in business tech and philanthropy. Exploring and investing in innovative solutions to some of the world's toughest problems. Bill Gates. Starting with Microsoft where I had monomaniacal focus, giving up weekends and vacation,

wasn't some big sacrifice, I loved it. I've always underestimated how incredible my father was. He would say, hey, I'm sorry I worked so hard and I'd say, no, no, that was fine. I feel lucky that he lived as long as he did. It brings tears to my eyes because he was incredible. Do you remember one of the final conversations you had with him?

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,

I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said yes please. Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.

He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Can't believe we put this song in rotation two years later. Yeah, June, 2023. Can we do something? Can we play Kendrick? rotation two years later. Yeah, June 2023. Can we play Kendrick? He's performing at the Super Bowl last Sunday. Can we just play some Kendrick every hour? That would be good. That would make sense to me.

Can we support our brother? He's performing at the Super Bowl. You don't have so many black rappers performing. Can we do that this morning? That would make sense. No disrespect to Soak City 310 baby, but. All disrespect to Soak City 310 baby. No, man all disrespect to Soak City He would know man. I'm just saying I know he got new music. Yo, that is really old. Yes it is I'm just thought about it

That's Lauren. Yeah. Good morning. Everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess Okay, so Lauren, what's going on with Lil Wayne? Because he's still being shady, I feel like. He's overshadowing his own announcement by trying to keep bringing it back to Super Bowl. I agree. So Lil Wayne dropped a Super Bowl commercial. And the commercial is with Sutterfield. And y'all got to stay with me on this because when I first watched it, I was like, is he being shady? I didn't catch it but I'm gonna explain it so let's take a listen

to some of the moments in the commercial and then I'll explain what we just listened to. Let's go. Hey, we still going. Now this is time sensitive. So at the end where he says this is time sensitive, that is where he announces the Carter six is coming and there's a sign at the end of the commercial that says do not disturb Carter six. And he's in the studio basically. He's like, no, I got basically I got better things to do. Right. We've been waiting on a new Carter.

He's going to announce it now. I feel like that's his like y'all didn't give me Super Bowl But cool we gonna go over here and do this in the beginning of that commercial when he mentions being sensitive Said it feels all about like sensitive skin or whatever y'all remember when? Lil Wayne responded to her or release that video after it was announced that Kendrick was doing a Super Bowl and everybody was upset People came online and was like Lil Wayne is being emotional. It's not that deep. People felt like you don't show up for a lot of your performances or whatever the case may be so they gave it to Kendrick.

Kendrick has the biggest song this year. It made sense. Wayne should have just kept it. People thought Wayne should have kept that video to himself. They didn't give it to Kendrick because Wayne don't show up for his performances. They just gave to Kendrick because that's just what it is. He's had a prolific career. He's had a great year.

Yeah, but it was never about Wayne. It never was about Wayne. My first mindset when I saw that commercial was Dan Wayne, you can't be in a Setta Phil commercial acting ashy, but I think it's a great time to announce your album. It's a Super Bowl commercial. I didn't know it was a Super Bowl commercial.

Yeah, it's a Super Bowl commercial. Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. That's a great time to announce your album. And Setta Phil is for sensitive skin. Yep, it's great too. So I thought it was a great time to announce that album. I mean it's Super Bowl. I thought it was too. And it's gonna be running ads.

Yeah. Why not use it? I agree. It was the perfect time. But I just feel like the conversation, of course people gonna lean into the mess. So the conversation has been is he snubbing the Super Bowl? And it's like I wouldn't even want that conversation around my album announcement. He ain't snubbing the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl snubbed him. The Super Bowl didn't want one.

And I wouldn't care because I'm sure they paid him a bunch of M's and he's using that to promote his album as well. Yeah, I think that's dope. Smart. Well. He just got to leave Super Bowl out of it. Leave all of that out of it. I agree. I think it overshadows like you said in the beginning. Because I'm excited for the Wayne album. I'm excited. I'm excited.

I just want him to focus on himself. Like, yes, it's going to be 80 million people watching Super Bowl. That commercial run on Sunday. That's a win. What? I'm listening to it soon as it drops. Yeah, but you know, everybody tune in to Super Bowl for the commercials. Now speaking of Super Bowl, Kendrick Lamar, who we know will be taking the stage during

halftime with SZA and whatever else surprise guests sat down with Apple Music and had a conversation about Super Bowl. Just you know, what the production and preparing for has been like let's take a listen to first he talks about the Grammy win and how major that was for him. Let's take a listen to that. I was just thinking about the culture really. It's always that for me first I'm not even bullshitting you. It's like when people talk about rap man the conversations I hear they think it's just rap and it's not an actual art form. So when you put records like that at the forefront, it reminds people that this is more than just something that came 50 years ago. They forget that it's even been here 50 years, right? And like, kind of like, belittle it. So I love to see that it gets that type

of recognition for just straight raps, from awards to the billboards all that because this is truly just as big as an art form and a genre as any other genre and I feel accomplished being able to do that you know whether somebody else come behind me and do it again and quadruple it I'd love to see it. If that was my purpose to do that then that's exactly what it was for that particular moment. That's why Kendrick is in the conversations of greatest of all time. That's why he's distanced himself from all his peers. And you can only talk about him with the goats and the ghosts because he cares about the craft. He don't care about sales nor any commercial recognition.

He's just about the art. I respect that. And you can see it bleeds through his music all the time. It bleeds through his performance. So you're absolutely positive, right? Yeah. And he talked a lot about because the question he was asked was basically like how did it feel for him when he went home and he was like silent and got and has he gotten a chance to kind of take this all in that was the gist of the

conversation they then asked him about like just SZA and including SZA on the Super Bowl and the fact that she's had a big year too he got to see her from the beginning and have they had a chance to kind of crash out together and be like yo we here like so this is his response to that We haven't even had a chance to crash out about it because everything you can move and fast like for us production and rehearsals And stuff so we speak but it's not we haven't really got a chance to settle into the moment for me personally watching her It's amazing to see I get to finally see how certain individuals see me come up in the process, because I seen her day one coming in the studio and writing songs, throwing away songs, writing another song. And I understood that process though, wanting

to be great. You know, even when people were saying this is a classic record, she was like, no, I'm going to write another one. And I understood that and I seen it. So to see it now magnified, it's like she always now magnified is like she always had it man She always had it and I'm just honored to be next to a talent No, I love that. I love that now and more Super Bowl conversation There's two things so first yesterday online Saquon Barkley's wife her name is Anna condone They went and found some tweets from sis, you know

First of all when they won the game, when the Eagles won the game, there was a nice wife. That is his lawyer. That's a wife. She's Beyonce. I'm sorry. Well, she does give that you saw them in a photo together. But when he won, when they won that game, and they took the pictures and he went to

the sideline and talked to his family, it was people always get upset when they see the black football players with the white wives So that was a whole thing they don't went found some alleged tweets from sis using it in word And it was a thing that was happening on Twitter was hashtag replace a Disney movie with the n-word So she did the cheetah girls and she said the cheetah in word The cheetah niggas funny though word.

Hey everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. A little quick sports. Super Bowl over the ... Super Bowl is Sunday, 6.30pm. Now who you got Jess? You know I got the Eagles. You know I gotta go with the Cousins City. There ain't no DMV up in there but Philly is right next door so I gotta go with the Eagles. Charlamagne? I want the Eagles to win. On paper I believe the Eagles can win. I believe that it's going to be hard to stop Saquon Barkley. If you do stop Saquon Barkley, then Jalen Hurts

and AJ Brown and all of those guys can hurt you. But they are going up against the Kansas City Chiefs, the referees and Taylor Swift. It's gonna be very difficult to overcome that task. But I want the Eagles to win, but my head says, my heart says the Eagles, my head says the Kansas City Chiefs will win. Yeah, I don't necessarily care.

I would love to see the Chiefs get a three-peat, but then I want to see Saquon Barkley get a ring. But I'm just going, I'm watching for the enjoyment. I don't really have a dog in this fight. I just want to enjoy a good game. And then it's just the Eagles represent blackness to me. You know what I'm saying? Black ass, tough city, black ass players. The Chiefs just represent whiteness. A lot of mayonnaise over there. A lot of mayonnaise. A lot of mayonnaise over there a lot of mayonnaise it's not just Swift or it's Patrick Mahomes wife is Travis Kelly's Patrick Mahomes wife you know oh my god Trump congratulating it's just a lot of mayonnaise.

Wife is is is white as well. Me and Dr. Gouma don't approve know. Me and Dr. Umar don't prove it. That is. Oh, yes. Yes. Oh, my God. I did not know that. Yeah, I'm going to talk about it in the room as I believe. All right. Good morning, Mimi. Good morning, y'all.

So White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt is unveiling President Trump's tax plan. The administration is calling it the largest tax cut in history for middle-class working Americans. Let's hear from Press Secretary Caroline Levitt on what's exactly included in the package. No tax on tips, which is obviously a very public campaign promise that the president made. No tax on senior social security. No tax on overtime pay pay, renewing President Trump's 2017 middle class tax cuts. Again, these are the president's priorities. Adjusting the salt cap, eliminate all the special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners, close the carried interest tax deduction loophole, tax cuts for Made in

America products. This will be the largest tax cut in history for middle class working Americans. The president is committed to working with Congress to get this done. Maybe I need to hear that again or read that again because where was the middle class tax cuts? Our tax cuts for billionaires and they were with the middle class. What middle class got tax cuts? Yeah there really wasn't any you know in this announcement it's coming after the Republicans they met for five hours at the White House. They failed to reach a final deal on how to exactly extend his tax cuts.

But senior lawmakers say they are close in agreement. Now, of course, Republicans, you know, they hold a majority in both the House and the Senate. They spent weeks trying to agree on a plan to cover the cost of extending the tax cuts, but nonpartisan analysts, they say that this tax plan is going to add another $4 trillion to the country's $36 trillion deficit over the next decade. So I don't know how that's going to help. All right. So federal health workers, they are also on high alert after disturbing. There's a disturbing website called DEI Watchlist.

It began making its rounds on social media. The site features the names, the photos and other information of dozens of federal workers, many of whom are minorities working in healthcare related agencies like the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Health. So the site at one point labeled these individuals as targets for their involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as well as for activities like donating to democratic causes and using pronouns in their bios. So legal experts, they're calling this, of course, an intimidation tactic,

and part of the Trump administration's push to dismantle parts of the federal government. Now the website, it's been online for about a week and there's a conservative group, a conservative group that they're saying that's behind it called the American Accountability Foundation. They're also listed as an advisor on Project 2025. I was looking at that list the other day and it's amazing to me, Mimi, how marginalized communities are being targeted. You know, black people, brown people, white women.

What I was thinking is how do they know these folks aren't qualified though? They're just looking at them and just saying, hey, because of their identity, their DEI hires, how do they know that these people aren't qualified? They don't. They're looking at their skin and literally putting them on this list. And people are saying that they've been getting calls, they've been getting just, you know, harassed already from from this list. There's like 50 or 60 people on this list. So pretty, pretty dangerous.

OK, and so switching gears to Super Bowl weekend, we all know that Super Bowl tickets can be expensive. But this year, for some reason, prices are down. In fact, they fall in like 60% this week. According to the retail site TickPick, the downfall has to do with one thing and that is location. Apparently the Super Bowl has been in New Orleans like 10 times. This is the 11th time it's going to be in New Orleans and people are just you know not that excited about it. Um, the cheapest ticket is about $2,500 to put that in perspective. Last year, the cheapest ticket in Vegas went for about $5,400.

That had to be from this week. Cause last week in a week before that it was $12,000. Yeah. Nobody's buying. It's a lot of different factors. Nobody wants to see Taylor Swift and Donald Trump's going to be at the game. That's probably a whole other security hassle. Yeah, another headache.

Well, I don't know, Charlotte, because according to TMZ, people are trying to, they're willing to buy sweets so they can see Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. That's apparently the draw right now. They want to be in the eyesight of the two biggest names at the Superdome I can't wait to see Taylor Swift and Donald Trump interact I bet you Taylor won't stand on business Taylor you put that post up going against Trump during the campaign And Dawson Kamala, I bet you fold when I bet you I bet you fold When Trump comes in that suite cuz Patrick Mahomes wife is a big Trump supporter What's the over under on Taylor Swift and Donald Trump having a friendly interaction? Let's go. Thank you. That's the bank

Thank you, Mimi. That's your front page news I'm Mimi Brown follow me on social at Mimi Brown TV and for more news coverage Follow the black information network or download the free I heart radio app and visit BIN news.com. Oh, that's maybe one thing. How's your family and house and everything? You know, got to know you out. You got in LA, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we're good. I'm in Studio City. So the closest fire to me, there was a fire in Studio City, but we just had to evacuate for a day. Nothing like, you know, yeah, the rest of the people, you know, good guys, good to know

you're okay. Yeah, thank y'all. I appreciate that It was a little scary, but you know We're good. Thank you. Yeah. All righty. Maybe have a great weekend. All right, y'all. Have a good weekend Everybody else when we come back 19 keys will be joining us He's the host of high-level conversations podcast and we're gonna talk to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club I feel hypocritical speaking to people about Economic empowerment and liberation and then working for the white man. Hmm

You feel me? But I grew up at a time my parents told me I was a guy that I can do anything So they installed this belief in this pride right within self that I see was missing in the world. A lot of people look at it when I talk about truth or truth seeking. It's not that I think I'm better than somebody who's just focusing on money. I think I'm just better at focusing on truth. You know what I mean?

And so I feel like that's my pathway to influence and that's the one thing that I can give to the world. So as a futurist, I'm always looking ahead and saying, what place are we not, what space are we not playing in? And if I can direct our energy and our attention there before it's too late, we can have some power and ownership. You talk about entrepreneurship and how important that is, especially for our culture, so speak on that, because a lot of people don't necessarily

get entrepreneurship because they weren't raised by it, right? They're raised to work a nine to five busy bee worker. So break that down a little bit. Well, I think it's monumentally important. I can first look at like, why did we shift away from it? If you look at in the early 1960s, the CIA would fund certain groups that was pushing more towards Afro-centricity, right? And the reason they did that because they rather you have just their symbolic cultural pride than actual ownership, right? You take somebody like John Horace, who fought in multiple wars for his freedom. When I think about a just their symbolic cultural pride than actual ownership. Right? You take somebody

like John Horace who fought in multiple wars for his freedom. When I think about a story like that, that's a story of resilience. You know what I mean? Like the fighting war at that time was hard, especially to survive. Not only that, we learned about Harriet Tubman, but with John Horace he took over 200 people over 800 miles to Mexico for freedom. Now as entrepreneurs what are we doing? It's an act of rebellion, it's an act of resilience. We saying that I want to be a prosumer, I want to produce what I consume. That's the direct mindset that they want to eliminate because if we have that sort of

thought process then you take your child and you start building generational wealth by teaching them skill sets by saying look, Pops built up this coffee company, right? This is what our last name represents, this industry. Now, this is what you get to command and take over and expand. Now, you get purpose and vision and guidance to the next generation. So for me, when I fired my job, I worked at Prada for a number of years. I like how you say that, fired my job. Yep.

Yeah. They couldn't afford me no more. I got too smart for them. So it really wasn't fair for me to continue to work for them. You feel me? Because sales. Okay. Okay.

So, you know, I'm in there speaking Mandarin. You feel me? I learned how to sell very well where I was studying every psychological book that I possibly could on it and you know a command of language and communication has always been my forte and I realized I was extremely good at it. But what I also realized I was there to steal the knowledge and then going to utilize that for myself.

So soon as I fired them I actually opened up a business in Oakland, California. I had a storefront where there was a clothing store. The store at the time was called Musah Hill. Do art as well, so I would sell my paintings throughout there. It lasted for about two years, and then somebody hired me to come speak at their school, Chabot College. And I went there, and I had a plan.

I said, when I go there, I'ma speak. And at the time, I got like 500 followers. But I said, I'ma speak, and this is gonna go viral. Now, when I go there, I'ma speak. And at the time I got like 500 followers. But I said, I'ma speak and this go go viral. Now everybody looking at me like I'm crazy. But I understood the type of conversations that I had, that if the world heard, right, it would be needed and valuable. So therefore I did and they did go viral.

And then the following started to come in and I couldn't manage both at the same time. I couldn't manage to continue to do the clothing. I found a calling and a purpose in that. And I said, let me go full time on that, right? As being 19 keys for the world. But I wanna ask you two things. You talk about going to the Elijah Muhammad School.

Elijah's educational center. So what was that coacheship like? When you come from getting the knowledge, studying things like, you know, Elijah Muhammad message to the black man, but then going to public school, because you light years ahead of everybody. Yeah, it was crazy because it was like a culture shock because them kids was crazy.

You feel me? Manish and freaky. You feel me? They was wild and stuff that, it wasn't that we was just ultimately sheltered, right? We understood the world existed. I still grew up in Oakland. I still grew up off 24th and Telegraph when we went back to school you feel me

none of the kids in our environment went to the same school that we did so we understood it that you know everybody else had a different way of living we were to always the Muslim family in the neighborhood you feel me all other friends was Christian and things of that nature so but going to that public school number one I realized and I started to feel sorry for other children. I used to feel sorry for kids that believed in Santa Claus when I was younger. I thought they was dumb. Straight up. Word. Because the story just didn't make no sense to them.

That's what I tell you. Well, because you, y'all feel that don't. Why lie to your kids? Why tell your blaster with children that it's a fat white man coming down the chimney? I think when you grow up, because like for me, like it was like children, that it's a fat white man coming down a chimney. I don't give a fuck. I don't raise them too. I think when you grow up, because for me, it was like, okay,

it's a myth of Santa Claus, but when I grew up, it was more so like, oh, you can believe in something that's not real, and it's kind of like dreaming type of thing. And then you get older and realize that's not real, and then that's why people even get a disconnection from God. Because they're like damn. That didn't happen with me,

that didn't happen with everybody else. For me, it was like, okay, if my mom can work however long a year to make Christmas happen, blood, sweat and tears, but she wants me to believe in something bigger because for whatever reason let me go out into the world and see what believing in something bigger can do because I know she busted from her. Give a fat white man the credit for her. I had black Santa Claus's in my house and coming down with my mom, when we were in season

they were black and she did that on purpose. Why did you feel sorry for him, 19K? Well, because I just didn't think it was smart. It didn't make any sense to me. And I just remember being younger and feeling like the truth is the best thing you can know, like actually being in reality. Y'all right, but nobody cares about the truth

when the lie is more entertaining. Exactly, and some of it gotta be entertainment too. Not gotta be, but that's what people want. Well, that captures people's attention to remember things and even negative things. The reason we focus on negative things is because it's based on our survival. We evolve to see negative things and focus more on it because we evolve to survive in case things are threats. So we give them more attention than they should.

We get one negative comment out of a thousand and then all of our brain processes focuses in on that to make sure that that's not a threat but then we remember that more and we magnify it. So the problem is usually never as big as it really is in reality it's our perception of it because there's always something positive going on but we don't pay attention to it as much. So we live in a world of low-level information, low-level entertainment, low-level conversations, right? And most people don't have a reasoning ability, critical thinking skills to analyze data or even have the time to do it.

When you think about having time to process information is the key. I spend a lot of time reflecting on things before I speak, which is why I don't want to just sound like, Oh, I've seen something on Twitter. So now I'm going to reverberate whatever that was. No, I want to say, okay, what do seen something on Twitter, so now I'm going to reverberate whatever that was. No, I want to say, okay, what do you actually think about it? And most people don't realize they're not actually thinking, they're reacting. They don't know how to respond. They don't have an ability to respond, so they're not responsible.

Right? When things happen in the media, we just react. Now there's videos, reaction, reaction, reaction, because you don't actually know what you think, you just know how to react. That's low level. High level is taking time to actually think about it, study it, go into a deep analysis, understand the root of it. So now you have the ability to see it from a different perspective and analyze things.

That's what we have to be but this is what I know is that the average and the majority of people will never get there. Most people will stay stuck in this matrix. This is why they need leaders. Even though it shouldn't be this point to where you're looking for a savior, I say save yourself. All right, we have more with 19 Keys. When we come back, don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Rosa's hanging with us this morning, and we're still kicking it with 19 Keys. Charlamagne? I wanna talk more about that boycott too.

I do too. All right. We gonna get into it. Because it's interesting with the boycott because I see what the call to action is, it's the boycott. But what do we hope to gain from said boycott? And I think it's wild that we're targeting,

people are targeting Just Target when Amazon did the same thing, Meta did the same thing. Facebook. No, that's Meta. It's Facebook, Instagram, all that, yeah. Meta did the same thing, Walmart's done the same thing. You know what that's Meta? Meta did the same thing, Walmart's done the same thing. It's like, why just talking?

And you're protesting on the platform that's also doing the same thing to you? I'm just, I think we like to pacify and get symbols versus substance. And I'm not saying they wrong for boycotting. No, that's what- I just need to hear more. I'm not gonna dog them.

I think that they're just used to a certain playbook and this is what they know. This is how they know to react and know how to respond. Again, it goes back to history. We are continuing to look at how do we become activists, how to become revolutionary and we take a certain archetype, right? We take the Martin and the Malcolm and say, okay, well, if I want to be a revolutionary activist, I'm going to do this. The problem is we're in a new time.

So it has to evolve and it has to look more innovative in the way that we go about doing things. When I talked about the Seminar Wars, they spent billions of dollars trying to capture them and they realized, number one, we could have spent that money building ourselves up, right? Building our world up. Why are we spending billions of dollars to try to capture slaves? That didn't make no sense to them.

We spent billions of dollars in the civil rights era trying to integrate. And when we were boycotting the bus lines, we could have took all of that focus and credit on bus systems. We could have took all of that money, that time, that energy, and that protest and say, what about these businesses

that we can build up? Instead, we were looking to be accepted. And we weren't going for real power, we was going for symbolic power, we were going for symbolic power, power of gesture. So the real power would be saying, you know what, our focus becomes this round table and this is where I put the onus on black leadership. Because we say we ain't got black leadership, we actually do, right?

But they just don't position themselves as such. You got the divine eye. That is a powerful organization and network all throughout America. We seen that power when Kamala Harris was able to raise a billion dollars, right? We bragged about the power, matter of fact, that we can get on a call of 10,000 of us instantly overnight and raise millions of dollars. Our problem has always been shifting power in the wrong direction. Instead of empowering ourselves, we're asking somebody else to give us power.

And my thought process and my plan behind the scenes, we're working on a lot of different things, is how you create your own digital nation, and then that digital nation creates and buy physical assets. You can do things like DAOs. You ain't gotta buy in into nothing. You can say, okay, Black Church, NABJ, HBCUs, everybody that wants to, all the activists,

everybody that wants to have a voice, how about we create a decentralized autonomous organization, which essentially is saying that everybody can become a citizen of it and vote what we wanna do next. If we put together millions of dollars inside this treasury, then we can decide what we wanna buy with that money, what we wanna create, right?

We can start our own social media, we can build our own targets. All of these things are created by founders and men. These things are not impossible to do. But as long as we use their systems, there's impossible ways to fight them. All of that, I agree. I think that that and what you're trying to do is needed.

But my pushback would be, or just I wanna hear your thoughts on it. Number one, like you talk about social media and just creating our own. We have fan base, right? People complain about X and Instagram, but they don't go to fan base, right? And then you have Tabitha Brown,

who got a lot of pushback because she was like, look, let's be smarter. Let's support the black brands so they don't disappear on these corporate levels. And then we can take that money and then go build our own. So you basically, we need somebody in the room to get in, infiltrate, and then we move our own. We don't support stuff like that that we don't support the fan base

is so when do we ever get to that point where it's centralized where we can actually move the way you're talking about because I think we should say we not supporting fan base yeah I think we're not supporting it but people are not there's not a mass exit from Twitter or Instagram like it does not well and that to can't I think to two things can be true with that. I think that it's not just the fact that people don't wanna support it. I think it's the way he's building it.

And there's no disrespect to Isaac Hayes. I tweeted out the other day, me and him had our differences, but I would still utilize fan base because I would be hypocritical not to, right? And I believe there should be a mass exodus and people should utilize it. I think that, you know, when I had a conversation with him years ago, I was telling him, or at least advising what I believe was one of the best routes to get a mass amount of people

to utilize it. Because unfortunately, we don't go to things because they black on. What is the most important thing? I think is economic sovereignty. If we can all agree that we must do for self, we can all agree that we need to have our own banks, own sisters, own schools, education, then we decide okay well then what is the best route? This is why I believe in things like dows and voting mechanisms. This is not something that's gonna take a hundred years, this is something that can get done in a hundred days, right? And what we should be focusing on is efficiency, right? What is the most efficient and effective way to do it?

Because I think that when I look at these boycotts, I look at inefficient old outdated models, right, of activism that we keep recycling, but they don't create any progress. So therefore, it's easy to control because they already know that playbook. Oh, they're gonna try to boycott us for 40 days. Just wait that out, don't even worry about it.

You feel me? And we look even crazier boycotting something like Target while we're on platforms that have also rolled back their DEI points. Come on now, Mark Zuckerberg rolled it back. We talking about it on X and Twitter. This is how they know you're not serious. And a lot of people might not like this,

but again, when you go back to the timelines of history, we have this Malcolm and Martin paradise, right? People pick sides and it's more creating a conflict between us. Oh I'm Malcolm, I'm non-pacifist, oh you more aggressive, oh I'm Muslim, you Christian. I believe the powers that be knew what narratives to push on the black community that was more divisive. Why don't we study Marcus Garvey and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad who had the most successful economic blueprints. Especially when Malcolm was the Honorable

Elijah Muhammad's student. No, 100%. But when you look at history, people go say, well, they killed this, and it's not true. But first of all, you should look at it based on the honorable Elijah Muhammad had a third grade education. He built an entire ecosystem in America with this intelligence.

Who is that man? How was he able to do it? And I don't care if you like him or not if he had the right blueprint then we should follow it. That's it. Like we got to get off our feelings about whether he was Christian or Muslim or this and that and I believe that's what holds us back because we're not following the right blueprint we're looking at who we like and that's because we're focused on how do we maintain and have more control. The black church are not gonna push no economic plan by Elijah Muhammad because

they need you to continue to follow them and some of the stuff that they do is just downright disrespectful and not teaching the correct history. So I believe that it's this timeline that we have in the way that we look at history which is why we don't see ourselves a certain way. If we see ourselves as wait a minute this man had banks, he had schools, he had airplanes, he had aviation schools, trusts, farms, import, export with poultry, banks, temples, all across America, it was an economic network.

Black Wall Street was one place and time. We have to make it not just how do we create one Black Wall Street, how do we create the economic network that is Black Wall Street today? And we don't have to reference in the past something that's attached to trauma. We can look at something that was happening in the 1960s. And when you look at history,

you look at the fact that we stopped focusing on global allies, we stopped going into this radical mind, right, and we went to a more pacifist way of thinking. And I think that that's what's dangerous today. All right, we got more with 19 Keys when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Everyone's forgotten who runs this valley. Time to remind them.

Bill Gates. Starting with Microsoft where I had monomaniacal focus, giving up weekends and vacation, wasn't some big sacrifice. I loved it. I've always underestimated how incredible my father was. He would say, hey, I'm sorry I worked so hard. And I'd say, no, no, that was fine. I feel lucky that he lived as long as he did.

It brings tears to my eyes because he was incredible. Do you remember one of the final conversations you had with him? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. We want to speak out. We want to raise awareness and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,

I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.

He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lonely Roses hanging out with us as well. We're still kicking with 19 Keys. Charlamagne? You know everything you're talking about, what do you think of like, because you're describing basically like a sovereign wealth fund. And you see Trump just signed the order establishing a sovereign wealth for America. So it's like, you're right, they're doing things

that we could potentially be doing. They show you the blueprint. Right there, you crazy. You want a new void, that's old. That's just one part of it. If y'all wanna be the activists, sure, we need somebody to make the noise, right? We need somebody to bring attention,

but allow people who actually have real plans about infrastructure. And we don't, I don't need to come on here and break it all down. That's void of the point. You don't need to let your enemy know everything that you're doing. But the point is, is that there are real people

who actually know how to lead these things. And the reason that I'm saying, like I don't wanna just go on social media and say it, I wanna have these conversations with leaders behind the scenes. I feel like you know, 19Keys, you represent a new generation of radical black consciousness that has always existed, has always cut through, the same. I feel like we're doing our culture a disservice. Our community a disservice.

I don't like to use the word culture because I'm not sure if we have one. Yeah, I think we devalue culture because we don't have enough values that we push. If you look around the room, right, it's a lot of great entertainers, right? That's a lot of money, billions and billions of dollars. The activists, I mean, not the activists,

but you got Dr. Claude Anderson up there. I don't even know if he's up there. I ain't even seen him. I got to go in there and smile. I got a little smart. Got him in there, you feel me? But you know the whole entire point of it is that I think we need to understand what the time we're living in right now.

Without knowledge of the time we will lose and we're in an interesting cycle. Right? We're at the end of an empire and right now they're going to pull out all stops. A complete oligarchy control. Again people should go study Doge. Right? Doge right I'm talking about ancient in Venetia that lasted for 1100 no 1,100 years and it was a Oligarch society the longest lasting one they plan in your face They know that we don't read enough. They know that people not busy enough

They know that they can turn it into a meme But then run the same play that they've ran throughout history to control the people Right and so now we're saying that okay We know what they doing but what are we doing? And so, you know my proposal is having these roundtable discussions in front of the culture But first having one behind the scene about our agreeance So what I'm telling us is that we have to be a cosmic people Yeah, so what is the save yourself tour man?

Tell them when the dates are, when they can see you be a part of these roundtable discussions. You can go to 19keys.com to sign up for the discussions. So we got the Gramercy Theatre, I believe it's already sold out but I believe we're going to Atlanta next and all the dates will be on the website. The goal is to spread this one out. Tours are very expensive and we wanted to figure out how do we create activations more so throughout the year right because the goal with each one is to have a conversation with the people a high-level conversation. I truly believe

that that's what's missing in society high-level conversation then activation right so we know how to utilize AI we understand cryptocurrency all right we understand blockchain systems. We have the funding, the right people to access the resources. The goal is to bring them together in a room, have plans and then execute on those plans. The other day I built a DAO system by myself, just testing it out.

Years ago that was much harder to do. Every year these systems become much easier to use. We're just not practicing and using them, updating ourselves. So save yourself is literally a message. Like bro, you're not drowning, save yourself. Start investing. Right? Ain't nothing wrong with you.

Start working, getting your mind right. You think you're stressed, man. Get out the world and go meditate. Go into nature. You feel me? Like somebody don't want to give you a job, bro. Create your own. Develop you a skill set over time.

Learn AI. Man, people need that. Start learning how to master prompt on these systems right look at where there's a problem and build an app you got influence connect with somebody with some money combine these things together right so the message of save yourself is the it's a reinvention of the message of do for self right that we don't need anybody to save us and nobody's coming to save us and nobody needs to come to save us. When I look at the wealth standard of the Asians who have the highest household income in America they're the most educated they

invest their money in gold and things of that nature their culture is a savior culture. Gold is at an all-time high today they say Indian women have the most gold right so no matter what's going on in the world inside their cultural standards right is how to save yourself no matter what we don't have to tell everybody what to do it's just a cultural practice so the code is how do we then just create that as a cultural practice where these meetings and all this radical stuff is not necessary because when wealth is we don't want financial literacy and wealth to be a revolutionary act we want it to

be normal we want to just have generational wealth. The only type of wealth that matters is generational because if it's not passed down, then it's individualistic. Right? It's just something that you got but what did you do with it? Who did you pass along? Where's the power? The boomers about to pass all this wealth to millennials, not us. We look what happened out in California with the wildfires and Al Tadena and that's very unfortunate because I believe we need to come together even more for that community that just lost all that generational wealth, all that real estate that was passed down. You know Octavia Butler comes from there, the mother of futurism and Afrofuturism and she predicted that. She predicted that it was gonna be up in

flame. You know the Hopi people had a prophecy that once we stop being in harmony with the land and we just focus on extraction and domination, then that's when Mother Earth turns on us, right? And we need to get back into harmony and flow and we need a more resilient mind. So everywhere we go, we'll be teaching these things. We'll be having these conversations.

It's going to be experiential. It's not just me talking. I'm actually going to talk to the crowd. And the focus, we built in our own media network and platforms right and we want to platform more talented people we want scientists on there we want authors we want people of vast knowledge and skill set people of differing opinions my goal is to make you think because I believe as a thinking man you a free man all right with the 18 keys what it can follow you 19?

Man they can find me on 19 underscore Keys or you can follow the YouTube channel 19 Keys. I drop lectures there all the time so make sure you tap in. Make sure you subscribe to the High Level Conversations podcast with 19 Keys. Alright it's 19 Keys, it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Juscelari and Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club let's get to J Jess with the mess. News is real, brother. The client, Jessica Robin Moore, Jens don't do no lying.

Don't do no lying. Get your game, fuck your face. She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody. Get your game, fuck your face. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. Get your game, fuck your face. On the Breakfast Club.

She's a coacheship. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it all. Hey Lauren, what's going on with Kanye? I seen some interesting tweets or whatever. What's up with this man? Yo, Kanye is on Twitter currently active right now, still tweeting.

Talking to himself. Exactly. So last night in a string of tweets, Kanye wanted to let people know he felt like Diddy should be free so he tweeted free puff that was the first tweet right and then after he tweeted free puff he just started going in he said all these celebrity n-words and B's is the P word y'all watch her brother rot and never say nothing F all the woke stuff your n-words addicted to complaining do something we watched him try to cancel Chris Brown ain't nobody do nothing I was the P word then to Chris Brown. It's you until the walls fall off slavery is a choice

Hey, yo Chris Brown and Diddy are two different niggas y'all Why cuz they are they're very much on two different ends of the spectrum. We got more tweets to get to. All right. So then he comes back because people are like now and people are picking up the free puff. So he kind of like, well, any n word that come in my face and asked me about that puff tweet, I'm still an off on them immediately. I don't give a f about you. Eight feet tall, I'ma jump and still off on you. No more N words telling me what the color hat to wear. If you ask me on the phone, I'm hanging up immediately

and never speaking to you again. If you DM me, I'm blocking you. If you N words is controlled and broke, all you Kamala D riding F words. That rhyme with maggots. Yes. Fraggle maggot. Yep, y'all got everything to say about my opinions when you just doing what the N words make you do for money. You F words don't

mean gay either. It means the F word like it always meant you F in. Oh, I can't say that. You said F in you find out F in R word. Okay. You see, she's too careful. They should let me read it. No, we. They should let me read it. No And then so in the string of all these tweets right he FaceTimes Christian or somehow they end up on face. I don't know call who Christian diddy son Yeah, and you know Christians like yeah, like, you know free my dad then Kanye releases a Sean John collab on his easy.com website Here's a little t-shirt. It's just simple t-shirts that say Sean John on them. That he says that him and Puff were talking about before Puff got locked up. He's like, you know what? I'm gonna release them now. Free Puff. They listed on his website for 20 bucks. And then he just keeps going, y'all. Like

he then starts to talk about the Jews. He says he's a Nazi. He says- Yeah, he said he's a Nazi. Yes. He said, I'm a Nazi, literally in a. Um, he also said I thought this was a good one He said there are there there's and there's that's um, can I say? Can you see it? Yeah, here The h-word is that a slur? Oh, okay. I didn't know Honky, honky honky honky like That's some hunky s-word. I don't got time to be

figuring out none of that. When I tweet there's nothing wider than English itself. The n words who speak perfect English be broke schools and religions are made to control and limit critical entrepreneurial thinking you f word educated r words. It's a lot. What else he said? He said some of his best friends are Jewish and he still don't trust any of them He said he does have dominion over his wife. This ain't no woke feminist s word. She's with a billionaire Why would she listen to any of you dumb a broke bees people say the red carpet look was her decision Yes, I don't make her do nothing She doesn't want to do but definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without my approval you stupid a woke pawns

He says she's a billionaire. Why wouldn't she listen? He said he's buying to maybe ask him wrong He's gonna make the Jewish person that sells then maybe ask to him read all his tweets You know if he wants to ride for Diddy, you know nothing wrong with that That's on him But we do realize Kanye has been acting out all week because he's envious of Kendrick's moment, right? No, I mean and then didn't some just come out him and his wife autistic right? Not both of them, he said he and the wife made a look at check out. No just him.

That's just attention seeking. He's doing that because he's envious of Kendrick's moment. He wishes this was him because Kendrick is having a moment for being a prolific artist who took out his number one op Drake right? That's what Kanye wishes that was him in this moment. So he's been doing all these antics for attention all week because he's trying to get people to do exactly what they are doing now and that's talking about him.

But Kanye, that is a sideshow compared to what Kendrick did on Sunday at the Grammys and what Kendrick is gonna do this Sunday at the Super Bowl. And then what you did at the Grammys, you bought a raw chicken wing on the red carpet. Raw chicken wing. I wonder if she's ever cold, yo. It's like, you don't ever be cold, you know what I mean?

She came in with a coat first, then she took it off. And this is the cheapest relationship. They ain't never gotta spend no money on no clothes, because you ain't never got nothing on. And you're using the right word, just cheap. You know, all these antics are cheap. Meanwhile, you got people on that stage being rewarded for their art the way that you used to Kanye and Kendrick Lamar got rewarded five times for a diss record to your

number one app you wish that was you. You know the crazy thing about all that you just said everything that he said we just talked about Kanye for about two three minutes and nobody ever said that he released a record last night. He did! Crazy! He released a record last night. This is too much to get through. That's what I'm saying. Kendrick is getting rewarded and praised all week for being a prolific artist.

Yeah. Who took out Kanye's number one op. Kanye wishes that was him. All these antics are cheap to try to get attention to try to step on Kendrick's moment for the week. We don't care Kanye. Yeah And it just I made no sense He tweeted he turned down three photos this week with a make-a-wish kid in a wheelchair Like what does it have to do with anything and then he said he got in the shower thought of murder

I don't understand And he's proud of the fact that a kid would make a wish that means the kid is gonna die soon and his wish was to take A picture with yay, and you turned it down and you proud of that He said he not only any either a clown What else we got going on yo Quick and I don't like people who do corny stuff, but then try to make it seem like just because they get money It's not corny. I don't care that you're a billionaire billionaires I don't care that your wife doing there's plenty of corny stuff but then try to make it seem like just because they get money it's not corny. I don't care that you're a billionaire. Billionaires are corny. I don't care that your wife is doing that. There's plenty of corny ass billionaires. He said I spent 1.5 m's on my Super Bowl commercials

and I tweeted all this. Let's see if Fox don't get that money back. He tweeted that. We don't care. It's still corny and guess what? Culture will reign supreme when Kendrick Lamar takes that Super Bowl stage on Sunday and that was what everybody is going to be talking about. So go And then, you know, when you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing

with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of

people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, you're playing with a lot of people, you know, Want to mention they did the NFL honors and Snoop took shots at Bill Belichick in his new little young thing Let's take a listen. I've been a football fan for a long long time. I mean, I remember back when the Cowboys was good. I

Remember back when the Chiefs was bad and I remember what was it? Bill Belichick's girlfriend wasn't even born yet. How old is she? Like 24 years old? His cheerleader girlfriend is 24. And Bill Belichick is what 72? 72. Jesus Christ. They've been on his body since they popped out last summer together.

She a white 24 so she technically like 50 or 40. You a stupid? No, not even gonna hold you just her face do give like 52. Yeah I'd get 24 face give 52, but I don't know with them. I'm right man. Say Alice Viagra Gastation pills and the honey packs all that Thank you Jess with the mess, thank you Jess. Thank you, Lord when we come back show them any who you giving that donkey, too Man, there's a state trooper. I don't know if she is a state trooper still, but she don't need to be.

Her name is Jennifer Albuja. She needs to come to the Frontline Congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please. All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. Wake up.

You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Peace to the planet. Charlamagne the God here, and I want you to know that our audible picker today is Atlas of the Heart. Tap into Renee Brown's incredible insight on understanding emotions and making meaningful connections listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com slash breakfast club I never heard of a donkey the other day. What is it? Say it again Charlemagne.

Yes, you are a donkey. Everything that Charlemagne say is true. Okay, hold on. Donkey today. For Friday, February 7th goes to a New Jersey State Trooper named Jennifer Albuja. Jennifer, I am disappointed in you but you represent what the world is now and that's a bunch of people with zero empathy for their fellow man or woman okay. We don't give a damn about what other humans are

going through and that's how I know Jesus has no desire to return to this God forsaken place okay. Why would you want to come back to a place your father has abandoned? By the way, God ain't lost, we are. Okay, God don't need to find us, we need to find God. And Jennifer, you absolutely need Jesus and you need his father. Throw some Holy Ghost on that thing too because this story I heard for the first time today was insane. See, because of Jennifer Albuja, an Essex County jury is handed down an 11.5 million dollar verdict and I don't think that's enough money Okay, why did uh, you know, they have to hand this money down because back in 2017 Jennifer pulled over a woman named Cheryl Rines of Jersey City, New Jersey drop on the clues bombs for Cheryl Rines

Telling you right now. This story is gonna piss you off. okay? This is why back in 88 NWA wrote songs like F the Police, okay? When you hear Kendrick Lamar this Sunday, when he's performing alright, say, all my life I had to fight, and you hear him saying we hate the popo, it's because of stories like this. Now, I know all police officers aren't bad, okay? I got love for law enforcement when they do their job correctly, and I know their job is difficult, but cops like Jennifer Albuja give cops a bad name. And I would hope that police officers around the country,

but especially cops in the beautiful state of New Jersey, would denounce this disgusting display of behavior from Jennifer Albuja. See, Cheryl Rines was minding her business, driving to work when she began to feel sick. So she pulled over on the shoulder of a highway in Newark and the state trooper by the name of Jennifer Jennifer Albuja Responded and Cheryl Reins didn't respond to her commands. Okay, Cheryl Reins

Couldn't communicate coherently. Okay, she couldn't stand upright. So Jennifer Albuja the state trooper thought she was intoxicated now Cheryl had no signs of intoxication Jennifer found those signs of intoxication Cheryl had no signs of intoxication Jennifer found no signs of intoxication. Okay, no smell or Sign of substance abuse and Cheryl Reins her face was drooping You know why? Because Cheryl was having a double damn stroke. Okay, Lord have mercy Jesus Christ Jesus I understand why you're not spinning the block on earth All right, this woman Cheryl Reins was having a stroke and Jennifer Albuja thought she was effed up. Oh yeah she was effed up

just off just not off no drugs alcohol. Okay this woman Cheryl Rines was dressed in business attire at 8 a.m. on a weekday and had no prior offenses. Okay don't let Donald Trump find out about this one. Alright if Donald Trump finds out about this woman Jennifer Albuja I may even agree with him that this is DEI hire behavior. This is the incompetence people believe DEI hires display. I don't know this woman's race and I don't care, but I do want to know her age because one of my favorite OGs who was up here this week, the legendary TK Kirkland, drop on the

clues bomb for TK, he put us up on game a long time ago as to why you can't date no young girls. I don't know if Jennifer's young or not, but it sounds very young. You know why it sounds young? And you know why TK don't wanna date no young girls? Because you need a woman who can recognize the signs of a stroke. Let's listen.

Let's listen. I gotta start f**king with b*****s that know signs of a stroke. See, people don't think about that I got this stuff and no sign of a stroke these young can't save your mother I'm in my sixties I gotta stop thinking I'm a young kid. Could you imagine, I'm f**king with a young b**ch, I'm over her house, we eat motherf**king sandwiches and my face droopin' s**t, my eyes go back.

This b**ch like, ooh, look at my s**t. He making faces, oh s**t, I never, I never seen this one. I never seen this one. We about to go viral. Hey! We up at a 2,000 baby. Keep slobbing, keep slobbing. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Put the phone down, b****.

TK is absolutely right. You need a woman who is old enough to recognize the signs of a stroke. Jennifer, I have no idea how old you are, but how dare you. Do you know she failed to get Cheryl Rines treatment at a hospital and the hospital was five minutes away? No. And instead of getting her to a hospital she searched her car then handcuffed her and took her to the police station. She delayed treatment by two and a half hours. A sergeant at the station finally called the EMTs, but the state troopers still left Cheryl Ryan shackled on the floor even after they determined she was

in medical distress. Fire the whole department. Okay where is Doge when you need him? Government efficiency can't just be about money and be about DEI highs. It should be about blatant incompetence. And this is blatant incompetence. When officers say they are protecting and serving what does that mean? Exactly, because this is the exact opposite of that now Dennis M

Donnelly I don't know who that is, but I love what he told the New Jersey Monitor He said and I quote I attribute the botched police response the state troopers us versus them Military mentality he says they approach their jobs as warriors instead of guardians. They see everybody in the public as a danger. They treated this woman like she was a criminal when she was helpless. End quote. I agree with Dennis. Okay if you see everybody in the public is a danger then you won't be able to recognize when someone in the public is actually in danger. This poor woman spent nearly two weeks in the hospital and another month in rehab but she's permanently disabled. She's unable to speak or understand what people say to her. She has a language disorder caused

by stroke related brain damage all because she didn't get the help she needed in a timely manner because of the ignorance of Jennifer Albuja. Okay this woman deserved more than 11 million dollars. At first the jury awarded her 19.1 million to cover her future medical care, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of income, but they reduced it because they blamed 60% of Ryan's disabilities on the delayed treatment and 40% on the stroke itself which they say the state trooper didn't cause. That's true, but I would argue that the inhumane treatment caused by the state trooper, the fact that she delayed her getting the help she needed, caused more stress and made the situation

even worse and Cheryl might not be as bad off as she is now if that state trooper would have responded differently and got her help in a timely manner. Look man, the highest form of knowledge is empathy and this is why so many of us are ignorant to life nowadays because we don't have any. Needless to say, Jennifer Albuja, you have none. Please give Jennifer Albuja the biggest he-huh. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Ghetto. Oh, and she had been a trooper for only two years when she arrested Reince, and she was counseled by her supervisors about the incident. No. She shouldn't be on the...she don't deserve to be a state trooper no more. Mm-mm.

Not at all. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Mm-hmm. Now, when we come back, Nicole Avon will be joining us. Oh, man. I love Nicole Avon. She has a book out.

She came up here last year to promote it.'s called think you'll be happy but she has the paperback that's out now with a new forward from her husband Ted Sarandos so she'll be here to talk all about that. That's right and we'll kick with them next so don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning. The Breakfast Club. We're impacted by him Bill Wizards, Hank Aaron, Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Andrew Young and countless executives whom he created opportunities for and shepherded in his remarkable life and career. He was a man who demanded fairness and justice in a world that was often short on both. He loved music and history and made both.

Spending time together in the last years of his life filled a void for me that the loss of my own father had created. I hadn't been in town when my father departed, but I was in the room and Clarence did. I mean, yeah, I know I'm already getting like, well, how are you doing? Yeah, we got tissues. Um, I know. I'm good. I miss them a lot. But I'm really, I feel very blessed to have had a soul like that. I mean, Clarence to me was one of the most powerful souls I've ever met. I've never met anybody like that. I really haven't. And to know that I to just feel every single day, I feel his presence and just the knowing of this soul raised me and this soul gave me a toolbox box and that's the best gift he gave

me which was, here's a tool box. All this s*** is going to happen in life. Grab this tool for this, grab this tool for this, the resentment comes, drop it. This comes, you know what I mean? He was able to, he was just such a master of how life works and he was so big on you know his big saying was you come with a number and you end with a number and in between that is your dash what the F are you gonna do with your dash it's yours and your choices and your decisions are gonna determine your life period because he

said you've already seen it it It's like Tyler Perry just posted, I can't repost it because I thought it was so good. We have the blueprint. We have the blueprint. We have seen everybody, especially in the black race, who has shown us what they did, how they had to go through it, how they overcame things, how they thought about things, how they strategized.

You have a blueprint, but we have to use the blueprint, not just be, you know, be fueled by it. And I just, the times that I, you know, my dad always reminded me, you know, again, everybody is going to leave this earth, Nicole, everybody. That's the one thing we all have in common. Nobody gets a pass. So do as much as you can with your life and experience as many things and as many people as possible and try to do good and make it wherever you are and whatever you do in life because everybody's important. So when you talk about your father passing, there's a sense of peace and you know, you guys got to spend the time your mom situation was a lot different. Yes.

I mean, in this book, you talk a lot about that night when everything happened with your mom. When did you get to a point even where you weren't angry about what happened with your mom? Because I was I would say there was probably about six months in fairness. There I remember the fourth. I remember it was April, it was right before Easter and I had one huge outburst again with one of my father's best friends, Al Hammond.

I called him and I was furious. I was still screaming, crying, trying to figure things out and everybody was great. Law enforcement was great. Everybody was, we're going to help you, we've got this. But every day I kept forgiving, forgiving, forgiving for myself, not for the person. Didn't condone the behavior, don't condone violence, I don't condone any of that. But I knew I hate what happened so much that I knew if I got stuck in that hate or stayed in that hate, then I was not going to be able to finish Think You'll Be Happy. I was not going to be able to make the 6 AAA. I wasn't even going to be able to be a good human being because I was not going to be able to make the six triple A I wasn't even going to be able to be a good human being because I was going to be a bitter human being That's what I thought the demon of the bitterness

Was going to kill me. I felt like it was strangling me and I was like no no no no So I just went through the grief and the grief you kind of have to carry with you It doesn't go anywhere right you carry it with you and then you learn how to manage it and it does get lighter and lighter but it gets lighter because I chose to let go every day. I had to ask God for grace, ask God for wisdom and guidance and then say, I cast these burdens. I'm going to cast the burden of anger, I cast the burden of resentment and bitterness just so I can move forward, not to condone the behavior, but just so I wanna move forward in my life.

I wanna live my life. All right, we got more with Nicole Avon. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. Everyone's forgotten who runs this valley. Time to remind them. Yellowstone fans, step into the Yellowstone universe. Our family legacy is this ranch.

These fortunes are almost illegitimate unless in a very smart way given back. One of the biggest names in business tech and philanthropy. Exploring and investing in innovative solutions

to some of the world's toughest problems. Bill Gates. Starting with Microsoft where I had monomaniacal focus, giving up weekends and vacation, wasn't some big sacrifice. I loved it. I've always underestimated how incredible my father was. He would say, hey, I'm sorry I worked so hard.

And I'd say, no, no, that was fine. I feel lucky that he lived as long as he did. It brings tears to my eyes because he was incredible. Do you remember one of the final conversations you had with him? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness and we want this to stop.

Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please.

Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him.

Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Everybody is DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club, Laura LaRosa is hanging with us as well. We're still kicking it with Nicole Avon, of course, Clarence Avon's daughter. And her book, Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace and Gratitude is out now. I was going to ask about the movie. I know we talked about it. We breezed over it a little bit. But let's get into the movie a little bit as well because that's on streaming on Netflix.

The 6888. So break down the movie and people are seeing it on Netflix. I think it's been number two on Netflix globally, which is huge for this type of filming all black cast Female World War two movie. It was great. Thank you. I learned a lot It's and it that's why I wanted to tell the story. So the story came to me. It was my fellow producer Carrie Seelig she's she sent me a sizzle reel. She said listen, I know That you've probably heard of the six triple eight, but you know, I don't know if you know the whole story, which I didn't.

I knew I heard of Major Charity Adams. I did not know about the battalion. I just didn't. And I went to my mom, I said, how come you didn't tell me you told me about Charity Adams? And she said, I told you about them. You're not remembering, but you must tell this story, Nicole. This is such an important part of American history. It's a great part of World War II history

that none of us really knew. And it's great for black women. And I wanted to celebrate these black women. And we had Mrs. King who passed away right before we put out the film, but Tyler, being Tyler, made sure he got the film to her and he watched it with her and she was able to say thank you Wow and she was able to leave this earth knowing that the world was going to know

their story. I was I think this movie is so important because man when you look at what this administration is doing and you look at what you know people are doing all across the country in regards to just trying to erase our history this important because man when you look at to keep our history alive or all history alive, any history alive, is that's why there's so many movies, I would say, about World War II and every other war, is it's very important to tell the stories in a very creative way. And that's the one medium that usually brings more people together than not. And that's why these stories have to, we have to continue to talk about them. I I'm happy that you know, I always knew the Tuskegee Airmen. And that's why I was so pissed that I know the six triple eight.

Yeah, I'm not taking anything away from the Tuskegee Airmen. But I'm like, well, wait a minute, these black women help win the war to in a different way. But if you have no male, there is low morale. And if you have no morale, you you're not a winner. You can't win. You can't fight for nothing. You're fighting for nothing. You need to know that you have your wife is home waiting for you, your husband, your father, your mother, your children. You need human connection. There is no email, no Wi-Fi, no Facebook, no nothing. They have the US Postal

Service and that's what I think is so phenomenal of what these women were able to accomplish. And by the way, overseas, again, not even going to different states in America, let alone at different different countries. Y'all did a good job of showing that parallel to because the the one girl in the movie who her actual like significant other he went away to the war and she hadn't heard from him. So she was like frustrated. it really showed like why because I was watching it with people who were like but they only doing mail to your point but then when you saw her storyline it's like that's why the mail was important I think that helped like that overarching storyline helped you understand the importance of their job too I thought that that was a great oh I love it I don't know if you guys did that on purpose but thank you

for because it's because Tyler was like, we have to really show why. And it actually did happen. But it's to your, again, everyone's like, oh, it's just the male. But it's really not just anything. It's communication, right? It's humanity. And but we didn't get that until that scene that you're talking about. And it does make a huge difference that people need to see the power of human connection

and the power of your why. Why is somebody doing something? Why is somebody being so committed to? They were also trying to prove themselves. They were also trying to plant seeds again for all of us to be sitting here doing what we're doing. You don't have to be in the armed forces. I think people, we all have to remember everybody in our history, everybody before us, they

knew they weren't going to see the fruits of their labor. There wasn't, you know what I mean? There were so many people who still fought for civil rights, knowing that they may not get their rights, but we were worth it. Then when we came along, we would have our rights. That is what I respect so much about people who were never gonna receive any benefits and still said I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do. That's right. Y'all were nominated for best original song too. Yes. What does that mean? Yes. Oh my gosh. Well, it's amazing because

twofold again because Clarence comes in here again because my dad and Diane Warren have been friends forever. And the fact fact that is Diane who wrote the song and her singing the song. It's so great But that's who I was able to say to my father when he was passing over I said dad, you know Here's your journey go on your journey. You had such a great journey I said and of course guess who wrote the song Diane Warren I said your girl who likes to curse just as much as you that's how they became friends Because he said I've never met somebody who drops an f-bomb more than me faster than me, but she's brilliant, right? she's a brilliant songwriter and I was just so happy that this is the category that we got an Oscar nomination and I was like, okay

I'll take this because this song is everything and the song really makes the mood I don't know how you felt but I thought the song was just perfect And I love the response around the world about the six triple eight of every responses. I had no idea Number one and then the second responses and now I could feel that I could do anything or I've sat with my children And I've watched this with my children and this has been great. I mean I was on Brett Baier's show on Fox and they were so supportive of the 6 AAA and it was so great that this story is just resonating.

That's what I mean. Everybody wants to talk about this film because it's important and it's a great piece of history that everyone should know. Well thank you for joining us this morning. That's right. You can check it on Netflix right now. It's streaming now and the book, I Think You'll Be Happy is out right now. Paperback is out right now.

Paperback is available right now. With a forward by Ted Sarandos. Tell Ted we do want him up there. Yes. When he's in New York. Ted will love it. He's great. Okay.

Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to pass the aux. Oh Happy Friday happy black history month, man. Yeah, you know i Month. You know what I'm saying? Don't start. What? Don't start. All I said was happy Black History Month. Hey, no him, hey, no him. How you feeling, Nala?

What we got today, man? Man, I'm feeling great. And speaking of Black History Month, y'all know I'm obsessing over this girl. Her name's Kennedy Ryan. She's a black girl from Atlanta, and she makes this spicy R&B. She had this song called Baby Mama that I really like, but I'm gonna play this record called B.A.N., which stands for Bum-Ass-S**t. That's odd. I love that Mama that I really like, but I'm gonna play this record called B.A.N. which stands for Bum-Ass-S**t.

That's hard. I love that record. I do like that. That's hard. I just hope it's not- It's definitely spicy. Yeah. I just hope it's a record that don't like

discourage black women from dating black men though. You know what I'm saying? Cause a lot of times black women are here record like that and then run out and want to date others, which is cool, but you know, I believe in black love. What else you got Nala? I believe in black love as well.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah. But I do you know this bum ass because I thought remember you said that Donald Trump is. This bum ass every people though. That's what I'm saying it has nothing to do with color it's just if you a bum ass n***a you a bum ass n***a. You over your n-word quota. Black history month. Oh yeah. You should be the time where we get unlimited ****. That's what I'm saying. Not knowing black history. No, no. Interesting. Alright, well since it's Black History Month, I want to keep it, I guess, Afrocentric. I'm gonna play some Afro beats. Rema just dropped the record called Baby and it's Sample Sade. Just hitting the wine. That's dope. That's the wine and the nice fat L roll of blunt, you know what I mean? That's nice. That's the good vibe. Rema from Nigeria, right? I believe so. Yeah, cuz I did side is from Nigeria Oh, yeah, she's by racial. She's by racial. She's Nigerian father and English mother Helen no, it's not

It's something Africa to Helen Yeah, like polisade something like that. I'm dude They came from it's a part of her last name Okay, okay now I thought you was just being you Okay, so IDK and Denzel Curry dropped the track down. No, know I love rappers who rap. So this song's called SU. Okay. You like it? It's cool. I like the first two better.

Definitely the first two better. No disrespect to IDK, salute to IDK. It's cool. That first one you played, who was that? Kennedy Ryan. Hard. Yeah. I like that.

I'm a rap b***h at heart, so I'm just biased whenever. You're over your quota! I'm right, I'm right. Okay, my last record for the day is of course, Cardi B, Partisan Fontaine with Tooted Up. See what I can hear New Orleans doing with that is like some Big Freedia stuff. Like I can see that being a rotation for New Orleans, but it's just a little outside the box of what Cardi and Parti I think would produce.

Usually do. You think so? Yeah. That sounds like exactly what they produce. Nah. The lyrics, the lyrics, yeah, but it just it sounds different. Don't sound like a Cardi Parti. I still play backing it up all the time. Oh yeah, but that's what I produce. The lyrics, yeah, but it just it sounds different. Don't sound like a Cardi Party. I still play backing it up. That's what I'm saying. That was a good Cardi Party. That's why I say it sounds like something different that they would do. Toot that thing up, back that thing up. It's the same thing. I actually, I love Party, right? I've been a fan of Party for a long time. Yeah. I want more deeper Party because like Party used to run. Yeah, like if you go listen to his first project, Not Supposed to Be Here and listen to songs like Mercy. Like I want records deeper party, because like party used to run. Like if you go listen to his first project,

Not Supposed To Be Here, and listen to songs like Mercy. Like I want records like that. He don't give me enough of that to constantly give me the booty records. I agree with you because, shake it to the east, shake it to the west. Baby, shake it to the east and shake it to the west. I don't know.

But you know, party's a person that's outside too. And when you a rapper that's outside, you know as a DJ, they wanna hear that music in the clubs. But he got records that could play in the club before that got a little more substance. And I'm like, Pardee, Pardee's dope. Bancin' it up, you can play in the club. And the whole verse is empowering women.

Like, I don't know. Yo, now let's shake it to the east. Shake it to the east. That's like a cheerleader quote. I don't know, I just didn't love it. And 2d is cool, but I'm just saying like I want to hear more, I guess I want to hear more intelligent street records from Pardi before he gives me that. God damn, Jess over there dying.

What happened, Jess? You know how something go down the wrong pipe. I'm still laughing at Shake it to the east. This real pep rally right? I want to hear stuff like Hoopoi rap, you know what I'm still laughing at Shakey's release of the best, this real pep rally right? I wanna hear stuff like Hoopoi rap, you know what I'm saying? I wanna hear stuff like Intelligent N-Word from PARTY. I rock with PARTY. I've been listening to PARTY for a long time, way before you blew up. I need more of that.

Okay where horse-drawn carriages and custom-made cleats paved the way for a game

that would change history. Let's check it out. We know who the 2024 HBCU champion is but let's take it back 133 years ago. 1892. It's freezing. Snow is everywhere. And what do these brothers decide to do? Start black college football. Yep, in less than a football field of snow, because when life gives us blizzards, we make history baby. Now I live in Charlotte and to get to Salisbury it's about 45 minutes in the car but back in 1892 it was Mason Beth and Cameron. Horse and carriage, five hours. Do you know how long five hours is in the cold? That's when your toes start questioning their life choices and they

weren't rolling up in luxury carriages. No, this ain't Cinderella. It was more like hold on tight y'all. One of these wheels is wobbling. But here's where it gets good because the women at Livingstone College they like to say LC. Let me tell you these ladies were the real MVPs because they didn't just make the uniforms they tailored them. I'm talking custom fits. I can see him now over there on campus of ALC No, Jerome, hold still your chest is lopsided and cleats. Oh, they didn't buy no cleats They customized them probably had some brother in the workshop like hey y'all y'all want some spikes or some glitter on yours

Cuz you know, sometimes you got to pop out and show it again. So game day comes and what do they play? No, not a stadium. Not even a field, a lawn. Yeah, somebody's front yard. I mean, you out there dodging defenders and daffodil bushes. I don't even know if daffodil bushes are a thing. And let's talk about the final score. Biddle Institute, five.

Livingstone College, zero. Biddle Institute is now Johnson C. Smith University. They like to say J-C-S-U. But that was the final score. Five to nothing. I don't know what you're thinking. Was that even a game or did somebody trip into the end zone? But it wasn't about the score. It was about the statement. These dudes weren't just playing football. They were saying, yeah it's snowing and yeah we got 10 hours of carriage ride round trip but we still gonna make history and they did that that game laid the foundation for everything we love about HBCU football

today the women supporting the team whether it's getting the uniforms out cheering in the stands the bands the halftime shows the energy it all started with some brothers in the snow and some sisters with a needle and thread. So next time you're watching a game, sipping your hot cocoa, remember this, December 27th, 1892. 133 years ago, these folks was out there in freezing weather, no gloves, just grit. And the women? Oh, they were on the sidelines like, y'all better win, I ain't stay up all night

sewing these uniforms for nothing. And I didn't know, maybe you didn't either. I didn't know. Happy Black History Month. I learned something new every single time B.Dot does that, man, so make sure you subscribe to I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either on the Black Effect iHeartRadio Podcast Network hosted by my guy B.Salute.

Alright, when we come back we got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody it's DEJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Alright, now you guys enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday. I was actually supposed to be in New Orleans but- You bluffing? No, my daughters are, you know, I'm laughing. No, you my daughter's

There you know, I'm a dance dad and they have a competition on Super Bowl Sunday, which makes no sense to me I got that this weekend to I have a my daughter does competitive cheerleading. So I'm in I'm in the same boat. Yeah, so I don't know why but I know I know this week I'm probably gonna be the only dad there but it's all good. I enjoy seeing my daughters do their dance thing and compete So hopefully they get a couple of first place prizes, but I'm just here for me. I just love it. All right It's time to get about it. What you doing this weekend? I know you were in New Orleans What I'm in New Orleans. Yeah, I got a couple events to pull up to I got a couple interviews to do and then I might I still haven't even decided if I'm gonna actually go to the game I don't know. I might actually fly home just in time to watch the halftime.

I feel like yo that'd be better to watch on TV because then you actually get to see like the angles is not it's not It's not like a big loud concert. Yeah I just felt like it'd be better to watch Kendrick on the TV. Yeah, you know the concert there I seen um drain and perform and I seen the weekend perform and when I was there You missed so much cuz you're there and like you said you missed the angles you missed this one you missed that one right and The weekend came out right next to where we were and you just didn't feel the effects and when I see them after I'm like It was so much better to see it on TV than to be there in person to see it Yeah, you can experience it live and then go watch it later. Yeah, that's true, too

Yeah, that's cool. And you don't want to fly back one day with everybody else? Yeah so that's what I'm saying. Super Bowl started at 6, I'm flying back probably like 4 o'clock. Gotcha. Yeah. Alright well be safe out there. Now Shaleman you got a positive note?

I do you know we was talking about empathy earlier during Donkey of the Day man and I just want to tell folks that empathy is about standing in someone else's shoes alright. Feeling with his or her heart seeing with his or her eyes not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate but it makes the world a better place so make sure you make in the world a better place by having a lot of empathy for people have a blessed weekend BREAKFAST CLUB BITCHES!
