Starting point is 00:06:36 Let's hit the show of cracking. You know what I'm saying? It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Alari. Sholomey and the guy.
Starting point is 00:06:43 We are the breakfast club. Let's get some fucking as rap music. We're playing early in the morning. And there's snow. Okay. Please calm down. You know. Well, Super Bowl 60, February 8th in California.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Will happen with the Seattle. Seahawks and the New England New England Patriots. Who y'all got? I don't give a damn about his one of those teams and I definitely was looking at the TV yesterday like stupid ass Patriots always goddamn going to the Super Bowl. But you watch the
Starting point is 00:07:10 game. Yeah, I'm a football fan. Both games are pretty good. I enjoy it. It's safe to say and I hate to say this because I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. I think the Patriots should be America's team. Yes, absolutely. They're called the Patriots. Yes. Okay. They win a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Way more than the Cowboys. boys. They should be America's team. Yes, they should be. I don't think we deserve to be America's team anymore. Definitely not. Damn. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee, Jash Alamein. How y'allamee? How y'all doing this morning? Hey, girl. Good morning. All right, well, we start this morning in Minnesota, where Minneapolis, of course, remains tense. protests are continuing, and people are demanding answers after a man was shot and killed by federal agents over the weekend. And the man who died is 37-year-old Alex Pretty, a Minneapolis resident with no criminal.
Starting point is 00:07:56 record and a registered nurse at a VA hospital. That federal officials say Paredi was armed and local officials, they do confirm that he was a licensed gun owner and he was legally allowed to carry a firearm. Now the encounter began during an immigration operation when Paredi was recording federal agents on his phone. A video shows a woman being pushed to the ground by officers. Paredi moved in to help her up and that's when the confrontation escalated. Now Paredi and the woman, they are pepper sprayed, federal agents can then be seen taking Pruddy to the ground, and within seconds, shots were fired. Now, a forensic audio analysis indicates that at least 10 shots were fired
Starting point is 00:08:37 in under five seconds. Now, Peretti was pronounced dead at the scene. This is the second deadly shooting involving federal officers in the city in less than three weeks. Now, federal officials say the shooting was self-defense. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Nome, she says Peretti attacked officers and pose a deadly threat. Let's listen to what she had to say. An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a nine-millimeter semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him, an agent fired defensive shots. The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds.
Starting point is 00:09:22 This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement. You know, we hear that and we know it's a lie because we have eyes. That's crazy. She just said that. Yeah, but I want folks to know they aren't trying to make us believe them. Okay, this is an exercise in power. They're trying to, they're dictating our reality. That's what they're trying to do.
Starting point is 00:09:45 They're trying to dictate our reality and they're daring people to do something about it. Mimi, let me ask you a question. Like Sholomey said, the video that I see, saw it. Maybe it's an AI video, but the video that I saw that they kept replaying, that you see an agent walk over to him and take the firearm from the gentleman, and then they start
Starting point is 00:10:02 shooting when he has the firearm. So there was no threat. There was no threat. There was really never a threat, and he was holding a phone, right? So multiple angles, multiple videos, slow down, reverse, however you want to look at it, they all say that this man was, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:18 his gun was in his holster, and you're right, I've seen that video several times, envy the agent comes over when he's already on the ground he takes the gun and he takes it back looks like he puts it in a car or something in a front seat of car he walks up with the car yeah what the guy yeah yeah so you know it's even said that envy would have to say like oh and it may be a i or whatever like that's that's even saying that you're definitely more than a i yeah you know sometimes there's so many videos yeah and let me ask you this quick yeah me me they're saying i don't know no disrespect to ice agents but they're saying the ice agents are the bottom of the
Starting point is 00:10:49 barrel when it comes to being a police officer or being somebody? Is that true as well? I'm glad that you, you, you, you ask that question, Envi, because Minnesota leaders, including Governor Walts, they say the federal government is misrepresenting what happened. And Governor Tim Walts, he also addressed, you know, ICE agents as law enforcement. Let's listen to that. You have the most powerful people in the federal government spinning stories and putting up pictures and unrelated people who we don't know anything about and a picture of a firearm to try and spin a narrative. I ask Americans, this will end when enough Americans say this will end. Do I have any confidence Donald Trump will do the right thing? No, I don't have a lot of confidence Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:11:32 will do the right thing. And I think there cannot be very many people across this country looking right now after all the reporting that's been done, after everything that's been said under the pretense that they are here about immigration reform and quit referring to these people's law enforcement. They are not law enforcement. We have law enforcement who do an incredible job. There's a whole lot of Republicans, for whatever reason, cannot find their spine. But they might find the ability to know that they're not going to win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right and stand up for the rule of law and stand up for human decency. And that's the moment. There you have it. And now this fight is moving to Congress.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Senate is expected to vote later this week on a government funding bill that includes money for the Department of Homeland Security. That's ahead of that January 30th deadline. And Democrats, they are saying they will not support the bill without reforms, raising the risk of another government shutdown. And, you know, as we start this Monday morning, those federal agents involved in that shooting, they remain on duty. They have been moved out of Minneapolis, but they are still somewhere else. And protests still continue at the ground at the site of the shooting. Once again, they aren't trying to make us believe them, okay? All right, this is an exercise in power.
Starting point is 00:12:47 They are dictating our reality. And that's what happens when you live under an authoritarian regime. Okay, they are attempting to dictate what reality is, and they are daring us to do something about it. All right. Yeah, for sure. All right, well, coming up at 7, a popular social media app, it looks the same, but users say the rules have quietly changed
Starting point is 00:13:05 and that has people logging off for good. We'll explain what's going on coming up in the next hour. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105. If you need to vet, call us up right now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Ray, Ray, Ray.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Yo, Solomon. Jizzy, what up? Are we live? This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, our outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. We can get on the phone right now. We'll tell you what it is.

After speaking with you guys on Friday, you guys help me get out of the coldest days that we've had here in Rockford. It was negative and the windshield made it like negative 40. Oh, wow. Wow. You guys help me just to get out of that. And I just want to thank you all so, so much. The donations that came in, cash have stopped them. So they sent them all back. Why?
Starting point is 00:14:23 And I don't know. They wouldn't give me an answer. Every time I called, they gave me a runaround. No supervisors, no anything. What? Yeah. Yeah. And they...
Starting point is 00:14:36 You were able to recover some of the money, but not all of it? Right. Yes, ma'am. They stopped it on Friday and they haven't been letting anything come through. And so one of the things that happened after talking with you guys is that I got a job offer that will allow me to take care of my grandmother and my daughter with special needs and still make a living. Look at him. Yes, yes. And so just by hearing me on there, it was a blessing.
Starting point is 00:15:08 and so I did set up a go-fund me if that's okay to say if they're not going to stop it Yeah, that's right And that's what I said. I said, well then I'll just do a go-fund me For anyone who wanted to help my goal is to get me And my babies back in a stable house Now that I have the income to maintain it
Starting point is 00:15:29 You know what's crazy they may think Because I'm looking at something on line right now They may think that it's some type of fraud Cashette areas Yes, yes. I'm looking at that because that happens when it's too much money coming in at one time from a bunch of unknown people that you haven't requested. They'll put a stop on until like they investigate what's going on with it. But I'm sorry with that.

Starting point is 00:19:55 Please knock the snow off your car. It's no fun when you're driving in front of something behind somebody, and the snow flies off and hits your windshield, dent your car. You know, you know, I learned a little hack, though. What everybody should have did was put, like, a whole piece of plastic,
Starting point is 00:20:09 a big plastic over top of their car, and then just take it off after the snow blizzard. I got a hack too. What is it? Carriage! What if they got a garage? Everybody don't have a garage. Oh, okay. Everybody's having a garage.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Everybody's having a garage. But yeah, just make sure you knock the snow off. And if you do have a home or a crib, try to take the snow off thing because the snow will get heavy and it starts affecting your roof, your side. You try to take that off so you don't have problems later on. All right, let's get to the latest with Lauren. What we're talking about when we come back? We're going to be talking about the Super Bowl because Cardi B and Stefan Diggs are going and
Starting point is 00:20:43 Bad Bunny won't have one of dress. That's why I hate when women talk sports. Cardi B and Stephanie won't have one of West. This is why isn't we talk sports. Like not the Seahawks, not the Patriots. Cardi B and Stephanie Diggs and Bad Bunny are going. You know who it was last year? It was Taylor Swift last year.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's ridiculous. It's silly. Shake it off, y'all. Make some boys. All right. We'll get into that next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let your talk, L.L. Cube.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself. Damn. I'm being myself. That source is close. I'm the home guard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that.
Starting point is 00:21:22 The latest with Nari Lewis. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coobay. Talk to me. Take us through there, Lowe. All right, y'all. So yesterday, the Patriots, they're headed to the Super Bowl. So you guys made fun of me.
Starting point is 00:21:39 This is about to be ridiculous. No, it's not. Come on. So yesterday, look, we were snowed in yesterday, right? And all of us, some of us were snowing at the same hotel. And I caught the last little bit of the game with Red and Brandon. And as soon as I walked in, they said, Stefan Diggs is going to the Super Bowl because that means Cardi B is going.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Yes, so congratulations to them. Now, y'all want to act like Cardi B is not important. conversation, but she did a post-game interview where she talked about the fact that Stefan is going to the Super Bowl and what it means. Let's take a listen. Cardi, we just talked to Steph and he was super emotional about the journey to get back to that. To watch him achieve this, what are you feeling? I feel very excited and very happy for him, very proud of him. You know, he just came back from my ACL and me seeing the progress and the process of him going through the air from the first time he started running back and now joining the Patriots and then actually going to the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I'm just very excited for him, very excited for the whole team. They've been working day. You've seen a lot of the hard moments. Can you maybe paint a picture of what that's been like? Discipline. Discipline and work. It's going to bed early. It's waking up early.
Starting point is 00:22:43 It's not missing one day of work. Nothing. It's discipline. And last one for me, I know he talked about getting you into football. I'm a big baseball fan. You know, I'm a Red Sox fan. I'm a Red Sox fan. It's kind of cool that we're keeping it.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic. at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from,
Starting point is 00:23:29 from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, we've got some incredible guests like Kumail, Gianni, let's start with your cat. How is she? She is not with a thing. Okay, great, great, great way to start. So this is a great beginning and hopefully you'll be able to, I don't know, maybe you will cry.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Amanda Seifred. Life is so short. If you feel something like that, you have that fire in you for this experience. It's not for a guy.

Yeah, and Nicole not too bad for you? I'm for New York. Let's put some money on Cardi B coming out with Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. What's the old earned on that?
Starting point is 00:27:08 I say yes. Whatever money you want to put on, I think she's coming out. Yeah. I'm sure those gambling sites got that up there, right? Yeah, I think that makes sense. I would, I don't know anything, but I would assume. It would make a lot of sense, right? I like it. Yeah, absolutely. Well, I love it. I love this. You get to see
Starting point is 00:27:23 firsthand, all the work that goes into, you know, stuff, or stuff. She'd say he came back, he just came back from A.C. Yeah, so he had torn his ACL. Oh, ACL. Oh, right. Yeah, she just worded it a little wrong. But Stefan Diggs talked after the game as well, too, and he got emotional, which, I mean, he does sometimes, but he got emotional
Starting point is 00:27:40 because of the same thing, him coming back from the injuries, and he said people thought he was washed. Let's take a listen. I see your tears. What are your emotions feeling like right now going to the Super Bowl? I'm just so proud of this team, man. You know how hard this year has been, bro, battling the injury and coming back, being around the right group of guys, man, great quarterback, great O.C.,
Starting point is 00:27:58 great team, great head coach, man. It made it all worth it, man. All the hard work, man. We got one more, man. I just want to rejoice and take this moment in and just be thankful for God. It was hard, man. Eric Bane was calling me washed. Said I ain't having no more, man.

Starting point is 00:28:28 No, that's right, man. Absolutely. Yeah, y'all talk about the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny. Speaking of Super Bowl stuff, there was like, there were reports circulated that Bad Bunny might wear a dress and people were betting on if that would not happen because of... The fact you even reporting that is crazy because that was clearly started by right-wing groups on social media.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Well, that has been... DeBone. Yes, debaunt. I didn't believe it. It was there, so we're talking about it. So Bad Bunny will not be wearing a dress during the... Super Bowl halftime show. So sources close to production confirmed to TMZ that this will
Starting point is 00:29:02 not happen. Yes, people were very upset. I saw, not because of the dress, but I saw, like, Trump gave a comment to the New York posting. He wasn't going to the Super Bowl because... Bad Bunny's wearing a dress. Not because of the dress. Just because he says he doesn't care... He actually said it's because it's too far, but then he talked about how he doesn't care for a
Starting point is 00:29:18 bad bunny or Green Day, but both, you know, acts are known to push back. His ass is definitely going to be there. He's going to be there. No, Donald Trump is not going to be there. You don't think so? Ice going to be there, though. The Bad Bunny will be there. He was at the college game, but he said, if he said he's not going, he's not going.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Well, yeah. And speaking of Bad Bunny... He always lying, though. We never know. Even in my title, I put Trump not going to the Super Bowl for now, because you never know with him. But speaking of Bad Bunny, so A'sap Rocky, congratulations to him. His Don't Be Dumb album, surpassed Bad Bunny on the Billboard top 200s. He got a number one album.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And, yeah, that's the big news. That's what I'm going to Aesap. Yeah, last week, there was a conversation about, you know, know he was supposed to do 130 units the first week and then they remove some and because of the vinyl's and the way things are sold or like whatever but now he has hit this number one this is this first number one uh in almost a decade so riana tweeted and she said i'm just she said just me here to let y'all know my baby daddy got the number one album a ha don't be dumb period so she's celebrating her man absolutely she clivers the shills about him period like she said it um and
Starting point is 00:30:25 speaking of riana so you know he said rocky as been on this whole tour talking about all things because it don't be dumb. So he sat down with academics and I think we finally got an answer and we can kind of move on. People keep wondering what is the issue with Asaqqqi and Drake. We talk about swag style. But at the root of it, I think all of us knew that it was Rihanna and he's talking about that. Let's take a listen. I thought old boy was my man's. You know what I'm saying? I thought he was my dude. Like, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I first met him and it was just like he seemed embraceful and shit and all that went on tour with him. I don't know. Like I think.
Starting point is 00:30:58 when I got on my girl, he just started throwing shots out of nowhere. Like, I just woke up and just felt like he was just throwing subs and shit. And then not. Nah. I think you're using a woman, honestly. I think so, too. But I don't know. But it starts before, really.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I don't know. Perhaps. Keep it gangster with you, bro. 2020, where Drewski hosted the whole, uh, that n-uh, got me a jams chain. And like, you my brother. Like, you know, he remember yams. He came to yams day. He was there.
Starting point is 00:31:25 That's 20-20, gangster. Me and Shorty was locked in. That's where everything is subsequent after that. That's where all the shots start happening. That's when I started seeing funny and what like shot at him? Never. At this point, if it like for them to still be, for Drake and him to still have this deep of an issue because of Rihanna,
Starting point is 00:31:44 I feel like it's stupid at this point because obviously she's with ASEAT Rocky. The family's there. Like I think people should just move on. It shouldn't be like I just think that we there shouldn't be the issue anymore. I'm just in practice. You did a whole report about the Super Bowl and didn't mention the Seattle. Seahawks not one time. I mean, they're going. They're going to play the Patriots. I'm
Starting point is 00:32:02 still stuck on that. I know that she went through a couple of the stories. But she did a whole story by the Super Bowl and didn't even tell us in the Super Bowl. They didn't tell us what kids. I mean, it was Cardi B, it was Thetfordick. It was Bad Buddy. It was Donald Trump. Not in one mention of Seattle. Sorry, Seattle. Seattle. Seattle
Starting point is 00:32:18 Seahawks are in the Super Bowl, y'all. Yeah. So great. Who did you know English? Who they got showing up with them? The Patriots will be there. facing off against the Seattle Seahawks who beat the rims. And, yes, it'll be a thing.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Yeah, it'll go down. But Bad Bunny will be performing at a half time. Cardi B will be there as well. We're all watching for different reasons. How did you watch the game with her, Red? Was it difficult? I only called like five minutes. But they knew.
Starting point is 00:32:46 When I walked in, they knew what to tell me. Let me guess. First thing you did was order drinks. The drinks was already. Period. It's all right. That's the latest with all right. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Now, when we come back, we got front page news. So don't go anywhere. Congratulations to the Patriots. Congratulations to the Seahawks. They will be at Super Bowl 60 February 8th in Cali. What's up, Mimi. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Good morning, Envi, Jess. Shalameen, how y'all doing this morning? Good, Mimi, you look so pretty. Thank you, girl. I appreciate that. All right, well, we started this hour. Shout out to Mimi. Shout out to Mimi.
Starting point is 00:33:19 You don't got to say, baby. You don't know. You did not have to say it. So, you don't have to stay it back. It's fine. I would take the compliment. Keep it moving, girl. It's fine. She always looks good.
Starting point is 00:33:30 All right, y'all. Thank you. We start with that massive winter storm that is gripping much of the country. So nearly 245 million people across 40 states are being affected from New Mexico all the way to New England. At least 24 states along Washington, including Washington, D.C., are under states of emergency. As snow, ice, freezing rain, and dangerous cold, it stretches across the U.S. Now, more than one million customers, they are still without power this hour, and crews are struggling to restore electricity in that brutal condition in those brutal temperatures. This cold has already turned deadly. At least three people have been linked to hypothermia, two in Louisiana and one in Texas.
Starting point is 00:34:13 And in many areas, wind chills are plunging into the minus 20s, minus 30s, with temperatures 10 to 40 degrees below normal. Now, states and cities, they are struggling to keep people experiencing homelessness safe, as she's. Shelter's reach capacity and outreach teams work to get people indoors before the cold becomes life-threatening. In New York City, Mayor Zeran Mondami, he says the city has activated its emergency cold weather plan to protect its unhoused residents. Let's listen to what he had to say. We have sufficient resources to shelter every New Yorker in the city, and our teams are scouring the streets providing outreach. Our administration has opened 10 warming centers in school buildings across the city, two in each borough. food will be provided at each of these sites.
Starting point is 00:34:57 That is in addition to the 126 shelters, over 50 hospitals, and 35 safe havens where people in need can come in and get warm. I love what Mondani did. The only thing I wasn't necessarily agreeing with was the fact that he wanted kids to go to school today regardless remotely. That is crazy. And I just feel like teachers and some parents, they have to dig themselves out today. So it just is going to be a lot of digging out today. And in this state of emergency, it's like, like, what do we, what do we talk? talking about. It's over two feet of snow.
Starting point is 00:35:26 That's right. I just didn't know. I mean, it's remote learning, but I get what you're saying. If you're like you have to do things to prepare to get back into the work week. On Tuesday. You got to dig yourself out. Shovel your snow. Make sure your area is good. So you don't get sued and teachers.
Starting point is 00:35:40 I don't know if they want teachers to come to work to do it or if they're doing it at home or what it may be. And then all kids don't have good Wi-Fi. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like, they're lagging the whole day. Some power lines are down and moving slow because of the snow, the storm and stuff too. Today is a day for kids to be working. Get your ass to shovel. Go out there and get some money.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I'll go out there and get some money. I'll go help mommy and daddy do this driveway or clean off this car. Absolutely. Like that's what they should be focusing on. I know remote learning. Yeah, I just, I didn't agree with that. I'll tell you one thing. The kids asked me one time to go out and play in the snow yesterday,
Starting point is 00:36:09 and all I did was bring them to the front and open the door. Yo, me too. I'll open that door. Let them fill that wind chill factor. Shut that down real quick. Yo, my kids too, they were like, nah, nah, nah, no. But some teachers are working remote and some schools are providing laptops. all family. So that's what they just
Starting point is 00:36:25 put in the chat. One of the producers just said that. How the kids are going to provide? Out of the school will provide laptops for the kids at home? And they can't provide Wi-Fi? I'm not sure. I'm just some schools have provided their kids with laptops. Yeah, there are schools, but you're right. With power lines down, there's going to be hard to connect.
Starting point is 00:36:41 They gave them on Friday. A lot of schools gave them on Friday. And also, one other thing to note, the travel has also been heavily disrupted. More than 12,000 flights. They were canceled yesterday. and airlines are warning that thousands more could be disrupted today. And yesterday was the highest single day
Starting point is 00:36:59 of total of cancellation since the COVID-19 pandemic back in March of 2020. So lots and lots of flights canceled there. And authorities are also urging people to stay off the roads. If you don't have to leave, they say that unnecessary travel could slow
Starting point is 00:37:15 down those emergency crews that are trying to restore that power and keep people safe. So just another. Oh, and also, delivery drivers too, right? Delivery drivers as you guys hear about DoorDash and Grubhub, they have suspended service because people were ordering and it was
Starting point is 00:37:31 just too dangerous for their drivers to be on the road. I don't even know why people would... Why would people even think that was available like over this past weekend? Why would you think? There were a couple spots still open and people would be hungry they don't be knowing how to cook now, so a lot of people still ordered Starbucks. Remember
Starting point is 00:37:47 I'd tell you about the caffeine fix? The Dunkin Donuts, the Hobbs, the foods, the McDonald's, the Popeyes, like the stuff that's open people still ordering because they don't want to go out there so they try to get DoorDash to go out there. Y'all are the people that's going to die when Armageddon come. Like if there's ever like a real catastrophic event that happens in the world,
Starting point is 00:38:02 y'all don't know how to fend for yourself. Y'all going to be calling DoorDash and Uber when the rapture is happening. It's like what? Yeah, yeah. So that service is suspended until at least later today. So you might be able to check when that, depending on conditions.
Starting point is 00:38:18 And turning now to TikTok, a privacy update that is raising new concerns. So the app has rolled out new terms for U.S. users after shifting to new American ownership. Now, that deal was finalized last week. And once people started reading the fine print concerns, they quickly spread online. So one key change involves location tracking. So under the updated policy, if you enable those location services, TikTok can collect approximate or precise location information, something that the company has previously not done for its U.S. users.
Starting point is 00:38:50 And the update, it also spells out categories for sensitive personal data. So the platform, it may process new information, including your race, religion, health information, sexual orientation, citizenship, or immigration status. So TikTok says it is not asking users to enter that information, but if you share it yourself through a message or in a video, it becomes part of the content on that platform, meaning it can be subject to legal requests or subpoenas or warrants, just like any other. other tech company. So while TikTok looks the same under this new ownership and in this current political climate, the way people are thinking about privacy and the way data is shared and the way it's collected, it just feels very, very different right now. Damn, I forgot that you said under new ownership.
Starting point is 00:39:37 I forgot that they was trying to sell it. I totally forgot. Yes, the deal closed last Friday, I believe. Damn. Just something to think about. And another thing, a lot of TikTok users are saying that they have been. logged out. They're dealing with a lot of technical problems too. So that is still ongoing as of this morning. And finally, tax season is officially underway with the IRS now accepting federal
Starting point is 00:40:03 tax returns starting today, January 26. So last year, the average refund was just under $3,000. This year, some analysts expect refunds to be even larger, thanks to the new tax breaks now in effect. The changes include no federal tax on some overtime and tipped, wages and a higher cap on the state and local deductions rising from $10,000 to $40,000. So when will you see your money? That's the question that everyone wants to know. So if you file electronically, the IRS says most refunds, they arrive in under 21 days. That means if you file today, you could see your refund by mid-February, assuming that there
Starting point is 00:40:39 are no issues, paper returns, those do take longer and forever just to show up in the system. You can also track your refund at using the IRS tool, where you know, you can also track your refunds, my refund. Those typically show up for e-fileers within 24 hours. And so one last thing to note that taxes are due April 15th. You can file for an extension if you need more time, but if you owe
Starting point is 00:41:02 any money, you still have to pay it by April 15th by the due date. How come ain't no snow delay on taxes, man? Can we get can it snow? Can it snow whatever taxes do? I feel like I just did taxes. Like just now.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Just that? I feel like it must have. Jesus. Y'all remember during the government shutdown. I think the extension date that they had given people was due and they still, like, everything was closed, but your taxes were still due. Yeah, absolutely. October 15th, they still wanted that. And the government was shut down.
Starting point is 00:41:35 The people that were accepting the money from the government weren't even at work, but they still wanted you to turn it in. Pay us. Exactly. You still got to pay regardless. All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news. I am Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV from our story.
Starting point is 00:41:50 For the Black Information Network, download the free IHeartRadio app, or visit B-I-N-News.com. Peace, Mimi. Thank you, Mimi. Bye, Mimi. Bye. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-105-1.
Starting point is 00:42:03 This is Craig. She got into a fight at the grocery store. She did not. She got into a fight at the grocery store. Somebody tried to fight you because you bought too much two-plied. No. What? What happened?
Starting point is 00:42:12 That is the question, right? So, Jess was at the grocery store. You know she's been having bowel problems, and she buys all the taller people. What is going on? That's not. and was like, yo, can you save some toilet paper for other people and just said no. So the question is 800-585-1501. Is it survival mode or straight greed when people over by the grocery store?
Starting point is 00:42:33 That's not what happened? No. What was the store? Me and my husband went to the grocery store Friday first as soon as we got off. And it was this guy in the store and this lady wanted a case of water. And this guy put the last three cases of water in his car. And Chris was like, damn, you know, you can't give her one. and he was like, you don't know how many kids I have in my house.
Starting point is 00:42:51 You know what this is for my sister's kids. You don't know who I'm feeding it. So he just felt very entitled. You can tell how he did not care about that little old-ass lady who wanted a case of water. You got a book and he got both? No, he was just like. No, he didn't. No, he did not.
Starting point is 00:43:04 No, he did not. He's black. Don't do that for Netflix? Yes. So we ended up giving the lady one of our cases of water because we had two, but they got to the last three. And he saw that lady about to go and get that late. You know, get one of them.
Starting point is 00:43:18 All right. So let's open up the phone on. I know a lot of you guys have been going to the grocery stores, packing them groceries because they said this was a storm. It's going to be nasty. Have you ever been to the grocery store? I noticed people getting super greedy, clearing the shelves and leaving nothing for anybody else. It's important to say, not just say going to the grocery store, going to the grocery store during a time like this.
Starting point is 00:43:36 It's a natural disaster or, you know, incoming doom. That they said. Okay, incoming doom. I love that. Incoming doom. That is the question. 800, 585, 105. one. Let's discuss. It's the breakfast club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:43:54 It's topic time. Call 800 585105151 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. Morning everybody. It's DJ NVJ. NV. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. If you're just joining us, we open up the phone
Starting point is 00:44:09 lines, 800-585105. Now, I'm asking, I know a lot of you guys had to go to the grocery store because of this blizzard because of the nasty storm. And people have been saying that people have been greedy. So we're asking 800-585-105. Have you ever been at the grocery store?
Starting point is 00:44:24 I noticed people getting super greedy, clearing shelves, and leaving nothing for anyone else. Now, we actually got a news report of a gentleman who took this woman's last water. You got the report? Oh, my God. I actually put them in my basket. You're going to put them in your basket?
Starting point is 00:44:37 You actually put the waters with me. What do you mean? I actually, but I asked you for the waters. They're the last waters. There's no more waters in the city. I asked you to put the basket. Just like you got a family. All right, but I actually put the waters in the basket for my family.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Okay, but I have a family. Okay, that's what type of trifling men would take waters that a woman asks for you to put in their basket. You can go to another store. There's no more waters in the city of Houston. If the storm coming, exact, I ask you to put them in my basket. What do you mean? The waters are for everybody. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:45:06 But I asked you to put them in my basket, and you took them. Okay, that's a trifling. It is your issue. No, I, but there's no more waters in the city. It's not. What type of trifling men would do that? That's definitely trifling. She asked him to grab the water and put it in her cart
Starting point is 00:45:26 and this man took it and put it in his own cart. That's the bad part. So we're asking 800585-105-1. Is it survivable or is it just pure greed? Now, you've seen that too when you were out and about this one. Yeah, I did, man. But it was definitely greedy. It was the last three cases and the guy just picked all of them up
Starting point is 00:45:45 and put them in there. And the little old lady just wanted one case of waters, right? And so when my husband was just like, yo, she just want one case. Like, damn, you can't give a one, it's three. You don't know how many kids are in my house. You don't know if these are for my sister's kids. You don't know like everybody's suffering. You know, so I just thought that that was very
Starting point is 00:46:01 entitled to him. He was very selfish. She didn't even care. So we gave, we had two cases. We just gave the lady a case of ours. But she was going for one of those three cases in the guy's circle. Now for the actual audio, I mean, I think anybody would have said, you know what, if there's one case of water left, let's just split it.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Like, how can you split a case of water? You can't do that. No, you open up the case in this. If there's 24 in a case, you give her 12 and you take 12. No, but that's not how I go, yo. You got to ring it up. If you're buying a case of water, that's the last case of water in Houston, she's saying in that store. And she's trying to get home before the thing.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Who's going to pay for it? But that's not. I pay for it. It's 24 cases. Okay, so you pay, all right, that's different. If you pay for it and then you decide to give her 12 with your water, that's different than saying, let's cut it down the middle and go to the cash register. No, no. You can't do it like that.
Starting point is 00:46:48 That's the last case of water she's saying in Houston. She can't go to another grocery store. You give her some of the water. I think the bad part is she asked him to put it in her cart. And he was like, oh, this is the last one? I'm put it in my car. And I'm going to go. Like, she asked you, she had her eyes on it,
Starting point is 00:47:02 but maybe she couldn't reach it or it was too happy for her. And you just took it. That's the bad part for me. Well, the first law of nature is self-preservation. So people always are going to prioritize their own survival first. But you would hope in a situation like that, somebody would have a sense of humanity and say, yeah, okay, I got
Starting point is 00:47:21 here's the case, so if there's two cases of water left, you get one, I get one. You would hope that is the case. Yeah, but like you said, humanity, like most people don't have that right now, they're just looking out for themselves, but humanity is make sure you look out for your community and if people are going through things, now I get it. When I go to the grocery store, I know I look crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But you also got a thing, I got eight, nine people in my house. Exactly. So it's like, if I got to get, like, I'm getting for a lot of people. It's not just, all right, he looked like he'd be ingrained. Like, I'm getting for a lot of people. Now, when I think about it that way, maybe that guy in the store that we, me and my husband were in,
Starting point is 00:47:53 maybe he did have like 10, 11 people in his house. However, the little old lady, I just can't like, you know what I'm saying? Just give a one case, yo. I mean, I would have shared the water because, you know, I'm a superhero guy, so I believe in Spider-Man. And, you know, you be in that store and you take all the cases of water and, you know,

I got multiple households that I got a shot for. It's a good-of-you-live situation. So you're saying self-preservation is just what you're all about.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Well, not even self-preservation. I have multiple houses to drop off stuff too. I got a grandma with dementia. She can't leave out. I have to go grab her stuff. So if it becomes between my grandma and that little old lady is my grandma. Well, self-preservation is when you prioritize your own, you know, survival and needs over everybody else.
Starting point is 00:49:14 So yes, that's what you mean. But I get it. But you wouldn't say, you know what? Let me get a lady, a couple of bottles. She's an old lady. Remind you of your grandmother?

But talk to us, Keith. What's your thoughts? Man, it's first come, first serve. You heard it? Like, you know, I get it. You know, if the store has a limit and they're like, oh, you could only have five of these.

Starting point is 00:51:49 Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience,
Starting point is 00:52:09 helping men unpack shame and anxiety and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mail room. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

Starting point is 00:55:54 what I saw at the supermarket was not survival mode. It was just ridiculous. People just stepping over people just to get the things, over shopping, over buying. You know, it's disgusting. Like, I'm from New England.
Starting point is 00:56:10 And I've seen, seeing storms that were way worse than this. 82, 84. This is nothing. So, you know, a lot of people in this region should be ashamed of this, because there's people that actually need that need things in their house. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:24 They're over shopping, over buying, just like you're buying from a filet mignon for one snow suit. That's still going to be in the back of your street. Right. Okay. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Brittany. I'm coming out of being Twitter. Hey, Brittany, talk to us. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Good morning. Good morning, you guys. It's straight greed. It's just straight greed, but I think that it's unintentional greed. I think that it's sparked by fear. I don't, I literally caught myself doing it before. Like, now, why to hell do I need this much toilet tissue? Why do I need, you just feel like my house needs to survive?
Starting point is 00:56:57 That's it. Yeah. That's what you do that. That's what it is. Yeah. The first law of nature is self-preservation. People are always going to prioritize their own survival and their own needs first, but you have to allow your humanity to click.
Starting point is 00:57:11 in to start thinking about other people. Like you did. At least, you know, yourself away in this kick thing, your accountability kicked in. Like, dang, I even caught myself doing it. Yeah, you don't need all that tissue. You know your boonkey be dirty anyway. But like Brittany said, the problem with during COVID, you know, you didn't think about it. You didn't go grab mad toilet paper. Then when you needed it, there was none.
Starting point is 00:57:31 All the toilet paper was gone during COVID. Yeah, remember, soldier boys started selling toilet paper because it was all gone. Right. And the thing is, like, you're, like I said, it's fear. you're going way beyond what you're going to need because it's like either I have it or you have it and I want to make sure my family do it. So it's green, it's like animal instincts a little bit.
Starting point is 00:57:51 And it's kind of tick on a whole other level. But yeah, you have to have some sort of humanity and be like, well, you know what other people need stuff. Yeah. That's why I do hope in the future when we have this new hybrid of human that's like part human, part robot. I hope we got self-cleaning asses. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:58:08 So we don't even need toilet tissue. Well, we'll probably need it because we're the old models, but the new models won't need it, so that'll leave more toilet tissue for the rest of them. So we won't have to use toilet paper. The new models of people won't have to use some people because their ass will clean itself. Yeah, when they mix with a robot,
Starting point is 00:58:22 when it's a hybrid between a robot and the human, yeah, make sure we got self-cleaning asses. What's the moral of the story? I don't know. I just, and the blizzard, just share. Let humanity kick in. Have compassion. Words.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Just, yeah. All right. All right. When we come back, we got the latest with Lawrence. Don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Mr. DJ Nj, Nj, J. Jellari, Sholomey and the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Now, listen, today is our first day on Netflix, right? Yes. But here's the thing. A lot of y'all think we're on Netflix live right now.
Starting point is 00:58:52 No. It's the same thing as when we post content on YouTube. You know how y'all go to YouTube later and you watch Breakfast Club content? It's the same thing with Netflix. Right. Yeah. So, you know, and contrary to popular belief, we'll still be on social media. And we'll still be putting clips in different content.
Starting point is 00:59:10 on YouTube as well. Okay? If you want to watch the stuff in full, you got to go to Netflix later on. Do you find it funny, though, sometimes both of you guys, when you see people telling you what's going to happen and they have no idea what they're talking about? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:22 I've been seeing people do interviews about the Breakfast Club on Netflix and they're telling us how it's going to happen, what's going to be. They have no clue. No clue. You know, but, you know, I mean, some of them do sit down and they do say, I'm just speculating. Or they say, hey, I'm just, I'm making assumptions here.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Right. But people don't hear that. Some of them. Yeah, some of you all really do. get in front of these microphones and talk like y'all know what the hell is going on. Yes. But don't know a goddamn thing. Now, salute to all the sanitation workers out there that's making sure these streets and these roads are clean.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Absolutely. So far as they've done a good job because we got a lot of inches of snowing in New York and New Jersey. I think they had like 12 inches or something like that they said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Yeah. Yeah. You've been doing a great job and salute to everybody out right now. You've got to dig your cars out and you're getting your life back to get to go to work tomorrow. So salute to all you guys out there this morning. Well, listen, make sure you guys. go to Netflix and set your reminders if you haven't already. Go to Netflix, set your reminders to watch
Starting point is 01:00:14 Breakfast Club content, okay? Let's get to the latest. On the... Let your talk, L.L. Cube. Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself. Damn, I'm being myself. That source is much. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Take me through that. Take me through that. Who is you going? The latest with Lauren Lose. Take me through down. On the Breakfast Club. L.L. Coobe. Talk to me.
Starting point is 01:00:42 All right, y'all. So over the weekend, there was a conversation that went down. Jim Jones was on the No Rap Cat podcast, and he suggested that no one knew Kid Cuddy before he remixed his song, Day and Night. Let's take a listen to Jim Jones on that podcast. What it was Day and Night? You remixed that.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I didn't know that shit. That's how you know Kid Cuddy. You wouldn't have never known Kit Cuddy if I didn't remix the record in New York City. I made that the biggest record in New York City. It wasn't Kid Cuddy. Nobody knew who Kid Cuddy was. Kid Cuddy. came about because he had video directors that I wanted them to do a video and I asked them
Starting point is 01:01:15 show me a video they did before and they showed me this kid on top of a roof with a record called Day and Night. He worked in the store under the label. There's nobody. I was like, oh, yo, did this. I said, I liked the record. Get the beat of the record. I want to do a remix. If you give me to beat, I'll let you shoot my video. Leakeskisksk was trying to shoot a video for free from me. Oh. Like, I got the beat. I told him they went crazy you wanted to do it. I got the beat. I just shot the video to the beat and I never even put the shit out. It put it up on YouTube they ripped it off of YouTube and it became the biggest record of New York City.
Starting point is 01:01:43 And that's how Kit Cuddy became an artist to end up giving him a big deal off of Jim Jones back. If I'm lying, I'm fine. So, yeah, so of course, Kid Cuddy, because the conversation got pretty big, Kit Cuddy decided to respond to Jim Jones. Let's take a listen to Kid Cuddy. First off, we love Jim Jones. Like, I grew up on Jimmy. He's the homie.
Starting point is 01:02:01 I met him when I was coming up. He was cool, right? Jimmy, I'm going to address you directly, my, my... You talking about how you are responsible for my sister? success is a lie. You need to stop lying to people. You get on your little podcast and you start gossiping and talking shit and everybody on your podcast don't know the truth.
Starting point is 01:02:19 So they all agreeing with you. But if you look under the comments under that post, you'll see people are letting you know what time it is. Day and night was already a hit record before you touched it, my, I put it on my MySpace. It blew up. I had an entire mixtape. I was on my way. Motown was courting me.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Kanye wanted to sign me. All because of day and night because I put it on my MySpace and it blew. up my I can promise you that Sylvia Rohn did not listen to your remix and say she wanted to sign me
Starting point is 01:02:46 that is not why I have a record deal bro I will say I knew exactly who Kid Cuddy was before the remix the day and night remix
Starting point is 01:02:55 but I do like Jim's version but Kid Cuddy always been my guy I've known who he was You know he introduced me to Kid Cuddy who Kanye was okay
Starting point is 01:03:03 now Evie what song just Kanye was that was one of Kanye's artist because he was a good music once day and night blew up. They signed him to good music.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Now, Envy, I mean, you were working at radio two at the time, because one of the arguments is because New York is, you know, this is number one radio market, because of what Jim Jones is claiming at how much they played in our radio here. There are people who are arguing in honor of Jim Jones and his argument. You were doing, like, what do you think?
Starting point is 01:03:27 Jim Jones didn't make Kid Cuddy. But Jim Jones made that record. Kit Cuddy was a crossover artist that nobody played in New York City. When he did that record and that remix, everybody ripped that record like he said and played it became a number one record in New York City. In New York City.
Starting point is 01:03:42 And that's how people here knew who Kid Cuddy was. And this is when Jim was on fire. This was around the time of bawling, baby girls, certified gangster, summer in Miami. Jim was on fire. I saw a bunch of young... And he broke that record. Jim broke that record here in New York. He didn't make Kit Cuddy, but he definitely 1,000 percent broke that record.
Starting point is 01:03:59 I'm not saying you're wrong, but it is interesting how different demographics consume music because people who were young during that time said they've been up on Kid Cuddy because of the mixtapes. So, you know, maybe some of the older generation at that time might have heard the day and night from the Jim Jones record because they were listening to the radio, but those kids was already on the mixtap. That was the blog air. Yeah, that was a blogger. Kit Cuddy was more of a crossover type of artist, but that was a hip-hop record. Not for the blog era. The blogger, them kids were listening.
Starting point is 01:04:26 They were just consuming mix tapes differently. Yeah, I think it's just the two things came true at the same time because it depends on the market and kind of how you were consuming music and what your interests were. Why? Well, I ain't never blow up Jim Jones' perfect day. That was a tough tool. Remember that record, Perfect Day? and it was kind of on the whatever that vibe was.
Starting point is 01:04:42 That was a tough record. Why y'all ain't blow that up since y'all blowing up records by Jim Jones? But Kit Cutty had a number one record in New York City and the version that was played was the Jim Jones one. Yeah, and Jim Jones had said before, because it's not his first time talking about it either, but he said before a couple years ago
Starting point is 01:04:56 that it got to the point where they would stop, like make places stop playing the remix because they wanted just to push the one with Kit Cuddy by himself, even though they were like performing it together in some places. Okay, can we move on. I don't care anymore. Yeah, we can move on. Damn.
Starting point is 01:05:08 You over Jim Jones in general? What? Because I got more Jim Jones. You said, let's move on. You told my that story. All right. Yes. In other Jim Jones news,
Starting point is 01:05:16 and speaking of blowing things up, so 50 cent is, I was going to say back on his top, but he, oh, do I have to pause that? But he never stopped. So 50 Cent posted some photos and some videos of Jim Jones.
Starting point is 01:05:27 And allegedly, during the storm, 50 Cent says that Jim Jones was out here looking for some heat. So he posted a video, and I don't know how he keeps getting this security footage from this fact,
Starting point is 01:05:38 the factory, the IFC factory that Jim Jones has. I reached out to Jim Jones and asked him, how does 50 cent keep getting this stuff? You reached out to him? Yes. What 50%? No, I reached out to Jim Jones. He wouldn't answer the question.
Starting point is 01:05:49 What he said was, we need to come up and see the building ourselves. I guess to see that there is he. But 50 cent posted these videos. And there's security footage of Jim Jones, and he's fully, you know, suited up, booted up in these videos. But then he also posted 50 cent, this photo of Jim Jones. And it's AIed up a bit. and there is all of the snow all over Jim Jones
Starting point is 01:06:09 and 50 cents caption said it's 10 degrees below zero and Y old boy kicking a door and trying to get some heat. So now Jim Jones has taken the photo and he's dropping an Iceman Jim apparel. Merch. The photo merch on hats and hoodies and he says to 50 cents that this is a good one.
Starting point is 01:06:28 He needs a PDF so he can get this merch through. And he said it's IFC which is it's FN cold teas are dropping this week. Don't Drake got his Iceman album coming out though? Yep. Is that coming out? At this point. These hoodies fire, though. The hoodies and the hats and the crab hoodies,
Starting point is 01:06:43 they fire, Jim, okay? I don't think nobody should want to be an ice man at a time like this. I don't know if you're all paying attention to what's going on in. Jim Jones, none of y'all should want to be ice man. Yeah, but Jim Jones says that we need to come to the studio ourselves. I told him I would come by to, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:06:58 I can go. I told him I would come by, though. He says that when we report it here, we only talk about the things that hit the blog, so we need to come and see it for ourselves so we can talk about what the studio is really for, which is empowering other artists and entertainers. Jimmy, I love you.
Starting point is 01:07:13 I will be there. It's not a problem. Okay. It's not a problem. Well, in the next hour, the next latest, when we come back, we're going to talk about Tiana Taylor because she did Saturday Night Live here in New York and dominated the show.
Starting point is 01:07:26 So we're going to get into all the skits, all of the things and some other news. She killed it. She did a great job. Yes. Shalom, we're giving that donkey too. Man, four after the hour, man. We need Christy Noam to come to the front of the
Starting point is 01:07:36 congregation. Speaking of ice, I got so many thoughts about what happened to, you know, Alex Pready in Minneapolis, rest in peace to him, so we'll discuss. All right, we'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Tell us! Made it! This is a miracle.
Starting point is 01:07:51 There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.
Starting point is 01:08:05 And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is, it always have been, the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The breakfast club, bitchies. All right, Trinney, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Yes, donkey today for Monday, January 26th goes to Christy. No.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Christy, I feel like I gave you donkey here the day just yesterday for defending Donald Trump's justification for the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent and here we go again because this weekend you were tasked with yet again peeing on weed of people's head and telling us this ring. Okay if you haven't heard ICE agents have killed yet another individual
Starting point is 01:08:48 in Minneapolis this time 37 year old Alex Jeffrey Pretty who was an intensive care nurse at a VA hospital an intensive care nurse at a VA hospital now I'm letting you know now that some of this audio we are about to play will be triggering because you will hear the gun
Starting point is 01:09:04 shots that killed Alex. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. Uh-h-h-down! Over the weekend, thousands braving sub-zero temperatures in protest. After Saturday morning, Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Prettie, a U.S. citizen who worked as an ICU nurse, the city's second fatal shooting this month at the hands of federal agents. Multiple graphic videos from the scene show Prattie appeared to try to help a woman who'd
Starting point is 01:09:31 been pushed by a federal officer. He appears to be holding a cell phone. before he shoved by a federal agent, pepper sprayed and pulled to the ground. Three officers appearing to grapple with Preddy. One agent appearing to repeatedly hit him. One federal officer appears to draw a handgun, while another agent appears to be seen removing a gun from Preddy's waistband. The video then shows officers firing several shots as Preddy falls to the ground.
Starting point is 01:09:57 An independent audio analysis finding 10 shots were fired in less than five seconds. In court documents, one witness. A physician who treated Preddy at the scene says agent shot Preddy at least six or seven times, adding the victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back, an additional gunshot wound on the victim's upper left chest, and another possible gunshot wound on his neck. Another eyewitness saying it didn't look like he was trying to resist. Four or five agents had him on the ground, and they just started shooting him.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Prety had no criminal record, and local law enforcement said he had a valid permit to carry a firearm. I have so many thoughts. Bear with me, man. First of all, RIP to Alice Pretty, a white male, intensive care nurse at a VA hospital, shot and killed because he chose to protect some women who were being pepper-sprayed by ice agents. You know, you should watch the video if you haven't,
Starting point is 01:10:52 even though it is a lot to watch. They are demonizing this man for exercising his constitutional right to bear arms. He had a concealed carry permit and had his gun in his holster, and they are using that to justify his kids. killing. How many people in the Trump administration, how many people who serve this regime are going to continue to wipe their ass with the document that represents the Supreme Law of the United States? That document is the Constitution. Okay, I thought this document
Starting point is 01:11:19 quite clearly outlined the structure of the federal government and guaranteed us fundamental rights, but clearly that changed and nobody told we the people. Okay, now, of course, as soon as Alex was murdered, Christian Knoem rushed to make it his fault. All right, before any investigation or anything was done, they, they just rushed to tell the American people their version of events. Let's listen. An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him, an agent fired defensive shots.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject, but he, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds. He also had no ID. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement. Did the 37-year-olds who had a license to carry, did he brandish a gun? And at what point did law enforcement retrieve the gun and also the magazines from him? Can you offer clarity on this individual showed up to impure? a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful
Starting point is 01:12:39 protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons and are using them to assault law enforcement officers. When you perpetuate violence against a government because of ideological reasons and for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence, that is the definition of domestic terrorism. peeing on our head and telling us that it's raining anyone who saw this video knows everything she said was a complete lie okay he didn't approach agents with a gun he wasn't violent towards them he had a cell phone recording ice abusing their power and then when they pepper sprayed the women he didn't attack any ice agents he went to aid the women and that's when he got assaulted by ice agents and from the video i saw they disarmed him meaning took his gun off his holster and then proceeded to shoot him uh i believe ten times let me tell you something christie no and J.D. Vance and Donald Trump, the DOJ, they aren't trying to make you believe them. Okay, they aren't lying just because they are liars. This is an exercise in power.
Starting point is 01:13:43 All right, they are attempting to dictate your perception of reality because that is a core feature of authoritarianism. Okay, authoritarian governments don't just try to control your behavior. No, no, no, no. They try to control what feels true. Okay, if they can shape your perception of reality, controlling behavior becomes way easier. Okay, this is textbook authoritarianism, all right? Control the information environment. Limit or overwhelm information
Starting point is 01:14:11 so people can't reliably tell what's real, even if they are looking right at it, all right? Attack independent journalists. We see that, all right? State controlled media. We see in that with CBS. Flood the public with contradictory narratives so nobody knows what the truth is, all right? They redefined language.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Okay, they normalize the absurd. They create an enemy narrative. That's what they are trying to do with this situation. They tell you Alex was a bad guy because he had a concealed weapon. They asked the question, who brings a gun to a protest? Christy, this is America. All 50 states have some form of concealed carry permits. You ask, why did he bring a gun to a protest?
Starting point is 01:14:53 Why do people bring guns to Starbucks? Okay. Do you really need your gun with you inside of Dunkin' Donuts? Askin Robbins in the South where I'm from, South Carolina all day, they have constitutional carry. That's when individuals can carry concealed weapons without a state issue permit. But now all of a sudden, it's wrong to carry any and everywhere, even though we live in a country that lets you carry damn near any and everywhere. Well, that's what happens when you are under an authoritarian government. Okay?
Starting point is 01:15:21 They are a hell bit on distorting our reality. All right. Christy, let me tell you something. You are going to be a sacrificial lamb in all. all of this because authoritarian regimes aren't loyal to anyone. Even Donald Trump is refusing to back your claim that the shooting of Alex Preddy was justified. Okay, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump repeatedly declined to say
Starting point is 01:15:45 whether the Border Patrol agent who killed Preddy in Minneapolis on Saturday had done the right thing. Instead, he said his administration was reviewing everything and will come out with a determination. Christy, they didn't give you that memo. Okay, they gave you orders to deny, deny. deny, deny, and say he didn't comply. I'm going to tell y'all something, America. I don't know how dark or how bad things are going to get,
Starting point is 01:16:08 but I keep hearing people referencing 1940s Germany, and I think it's always good to look to history to see what could happen. But I want y'all to remember something when you are bringing up that history. The Nazis ultimately lost. Okay, if you need any hope, all right, or any bit of optimism, always remember the Nazis ultimately lost.
Starting point is 01:16:32 We tend to forget that, all right. Hitler died by suicide. Nazi government collapsed. Germany formally surrendered. Nazi ideology was outlawed through denatification. Okay, one day we will see the demagification of this country. It will come. And you know what else happened?
Starting point is 01:16:48 Leaders of the Nazi regime were prosecuted and tried as war criminals. 22 major Nazi leaders and organizations were tried for crimes against peace. Okay, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Christy, this is where people like you are headed. Okay, I don't care how it looks now, but it's inevitable. You will be thrown under the bus by the same authoritarian regime you are caping for. Okay, you will be forced to resign, are impeached, and in the future, you will be held accountable for all the lies you are spewing to the American people.
Starting point is 01:17:23 It's inevitable. Please let Chelsea Handler give Christy Knoom the biggest he-ha. He-ha-ha! Hi-ha, that is way too much, Dan Meney's. And I just want to tell Americans, too, man, keep your guard up, okay, protect your grip on reality, individually and collectively. Okay, authoritarianism only works when people doubt their own perception are give it up to the powers that be. Even if you disagree on values, we got to defend shared facts. Okay, the fact is what happened to Alex Pretti was dead wrong.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Okay, we can argue about policy, but not whether the event happens. We saw it. We felt it. It was wrong. Period. Full stop. And we always wondered how would America react if law enforcement started recklessly killing white people in the street the way they have historically done the people of color? Well, we're about to find out. That's right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, let's open up the phone lines. Let's clear the phone lines. 8585105.1. I've seen this trending over the weekend. Tracy Morgan was leaving the Knicks game and an old, I don't even say friend but somebody that Tracy knew came up to him and asked him for money. What?
Starting point is 01:18:36 What, what? You think of somebody like grew up with? Yeah. Okay. From his old hood. Well, you know, I was thinking about something. I feel like we should open the phone lines to the people. Yeah, I feel like we should call an audible, man.
Starting point is 01:18:50 I feel like we should open up the phone lines to the people, man. Because, you know, we live in this world where, It's like algorithm, the algorithm changes by the second. So one day we battle in a blizzard, right? One second we battle about the battle of blizzard. Then the next second, we're watching somebody just get killed in the street by law enforcement. Then we're watching the government just gaslight us about it and lied us about it. And then we watch AFC and NFC Championship games and talk about the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:19:17 We just move, move, move, instead of checking in with people and seeing how they feel. Okay, we can do that. Let's open up the phone lines to the people, man. 800-585-105-1. Yes. Let's talk. Yes, man. If you're just joining us,
Starting point is 01:19:30 Charlemagne gave Donkey the day two, what's the lady name? Christy Gnome and Ice, you know what I mean? For once again peeing on our head and telling us it's raining. And, you know, like I said, you know, Americans,
Starting point is 01:19:38 we got to keep our guard up. We got to protect our grip on reality individually and collectively. This gives us the opportunity right now to open up the phone lines and collectively just talk to the people to make sure we're dealing with reality. Okay, well, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:19:50 800-585105-101. Let's discuss. Tell her, maybe Just for some Carraise If y'all talking about it, you know we're talking about it It's topic time
Starting point is 01:20:05 Call 800-585-105-1 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club Morning everybody It's DJ NV Just hilarious Shalermaine the guy We are the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 01:20:16 If you're just joining us Sholomaine gave Donka the day to who? Christy Knoam She's the United States Secretary of Homeland Security And, you know, once again, she had to go out here and pee on the American people's head and tell us that it's raining because, you know, Alex Pready was shot and killed by ICE agents over the weekend. We all saw the video, you know what I mean? We saw exactly what happened.
Starting point is 01:20:39 But that's not what they told us happened. You know what I mean? Because authoritarian regimes want to control your perception of reality. If they can control your perception of reality, it's easier to control your behavior. And, you know, she's out here telling us things. Happened that didn't happen and I just want us as Americans to keep our guard up and protect our grip on reality, man. So that's what I really want to open the phone lines up for today and just talk to people, man. Yeah, as we get in the lines thing, it's just so crazy that when, you know, we see it, right?
Starting point is 01:21:08 Because before you could lie to us and be like, oh, it wasn't on camera. It was no body for it. It was no body camera footage. There was no cameras. But when you see federal agents take this man's fire on, he wasn't, he wasn't fighting him for it. They took the fire on from him and then shot him 10 times. Yeah. That's not crazy than nobody.
Starting point is 01:21:25 He had his hands on his iPhone taping. And then telling us things like, you know, who brings a concealed weapon to a protest? This is America. I'd be wondering why people be having concealed weapons in Dunkin' Donuts. Okay? Like a protest is not the strangest place. I've seen somebody bring a concealed weapon. We live in a country that literally has to tell us at the door, do not bring your concealed weapon in here.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Like literally, it'll be a sign on the door that says, no concealment. with weapons. They have to tell us this. That's how regular it is. But the crazy thing is they say they claim Preddy was armed and posed a threat. So an agent fired in self-defense. We didn't see none of that. Man. I don't see none of that. People are believing it. It's people that
Starting point is 01:22:07 believe what they're telling us because depending on where you are in the world and where you get your news, you're being told a completely different version of what's happening in Minneapolis. But not only that, I can carry my firearm wherever I want if I'm a legally licensed firearm. Now, there are some places that I can't go to, but a public street
Starting point is 01:22:23 I can carry my firearm. And like you said, y'allelam, I got my firearm in Dunkin'Onuts. I got it in Krispy Kreme. I got it in Chick-fil-A. Why?
Starting point is 01:22:31 Because I can't. I got it in the Home Depot. I got it at Lowe's. Now, there's some areas you can't, and I was allowed to take it to schools. You're not allowed to take it to malls. But everywhere I can take my firearm, you know what's on me?
Starting point is 01:22:40 My fire arm. Yeah. Yeah, listen, people, authoritarianism only works when people doubt their own perception, right, or give up, give it up the power. So we can disagree. Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills.
Starting point is 01:22:53 Director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight
Starting point is 01:23:23 and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain
Starting point is 01:23:40 and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

Starting point is 01:24:35 Oh my God. All the time. That's so funny. I love it. I know. So I'm always like, hi. I try to butcher it up for kids, you know, so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up is basically like Doris Day.

Hey, he should be in that conversation. In what conversation? He should be in it. Listen to Broken Play with Nav Green from the Black Effect Podcast Network
Starting point is 01:25:50 on the Iheart Radio app. In the middle of the night, Saska awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home.
Starting point is 01:26:23 That's your husband. So keep this secret for so many years. He's like a seasoned pro. This is a story about the end of a marriage. But it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark. You're a dangerous person who prays on vulnerable and trusting people. Your creditor, Michael Levin Good. Listen to Betrayal Season 5, starting on January 29th, on the
Starting point is 01:26:51 the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We agree on values all day. We can disagree on policies all day. But guys, man, can we at least defend shared facts? The fact is what happened to that guy, Alex and Minneapolis, was dead wrong. Absolutely. We have Marlon on the line. Marlon, good morning.
Starting point is 01:27:10 Hey, good morning. And good morning. Hey, good morning. Good morning. Peace, Malin. Good morning. Good morning. I'm calling because I'm a Republican.
Starting point is 01:27:19 And I normally don't let me with everything. trying to make sense. But at the end of the day, which right is right or wrong is wrong. And what happens to that man is wrong. Simple. And I've noticed that, like, on X, everything that's going on has been suppressed.
Starting point is 01:27:33 You see something on our side, and it blows up. So I feel like it is kind of a coverer. And I do what I'm just saying, man, we all people at the end of the day, and we all just trying to make it in this life, you know? That's it. Thank you, brother.
Starting point is 01:27:46 That's it. We can disagree on values, man, but we cannot, you know, We got to defend shared facts, man. Hello, who's this? What's up? This is Balarine. Talk to us. What's your thoughts, brother? Sorry, before I say what I'm about to say, can I also say,
Starting point is 01:28:02 Salome, I gave you a comic book. Every time I call, I try to mention it again, and I get hung up on. What comic book is it? Shattered Light. Shattered Light. I don't remember getting that. What did you give it to me in? New York. You were doing a sign of Aluminati? Yeah, midtime comic. Yeah, yeah. I got it. I got it. I ain't get a chance to read it yet.
Starting point is 01:28:21 do have it. My fault, brother. You're always saying you you didn't get a chance to do something somebody gave you. I'm sorry, man. No, I'm playing. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. But now, I appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:28:34 Yes, sir. But what I was saying was the divide. I think that's the cause of all this. It might seem obvious, too, but I think at the core is the divide. And the more we separate ourselves and the more that the, you know, media, whoever is forcing
Starting point is 01:28:49 this divide, we start to turn a blind eye to things that we know is wrong. Like if someone's getting gunned down, regardless of the reason, life is supposed to be, you know, special. Life is supposed to be something valuable. And once we start to disregard that because of our views or things that are different or things we don't like, then we lost as a society.
Starting point is 01:29:11 We got to go back to the core. Life is the most precious thing we got. That's right. We just gunning people down, especially if they, I mean, let's keep it real. Especially if they white. Man. Get out the way. Man.
Starting point is 01:29:21 I mean, like, if they're shooting themselves, that's a problem. Thank you, brother. 800-585-105-1. Charlemagne gave Donka the data. Who, Shara? Chris, do you know, you know, she runs the United States. What the hell? She runs DHS.
Starting point is 01:29:36 Okay, the Department of Homeland Security. She's United States Secretary of Homeland Security. That's right. And she's peeing on our head once again and telling us that is raining. All right. Well, what are your thoughts? I know you've seen the video. Let's discuss.
Starting point is 01:29:48 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you're just joining us, Shaleman gave Donkey of the Day. Christine Nome, she's the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, and, you know, she was tasked with once again having to come out and pee on the American public's head and tell us it was raining because, you know, Alex Prattie, a white male, intensive care nurse at a VA hospital was shot and killed, shot 10 times because he chose to protect some women who were being pepper sprayed by ice agents. And they are demonizing this man for exercising his constitutional right to bear arms and his constitutional right to peacefully protest. No, hello, who's this? BJ from Houston Yeah, talk to us, BJ.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Hey, what's going on, man? My thing is, who goes to a peaceful protest armed with a gun and picks a fight with a police officer? Like, I'm a black man, and I understand I wouldn't do that. Like, would you advise your son to do that? Hold on that. Did you see the video?
Starting point is 01:30:36 Did you see the video? Yeah, I seen the video. And you thought he was picking a fight with the ICE agent? But he said he didn't. But why would you even get into a confrontation with a police officer and peter investigation armed with a gun? He wasn't doing any of that.
Starting point is 01:30:49 What he was doing? was recording what was happening. And then when the young women got pepper sprayed, he went to go aid them. And then the ICE agents came and pushed him to the ground. Now, you're from Houston. Now, hold, you from Houston, right? This is what I'm saying, right? But, hold, you from Houston?
Starting point is 01:31:02 He could have sat there and he could have been a good witness and could have offered all that information up to the governor who put the battery in their back in the first place to get in and agitate the police officers from the get-go. Like, who does that? I didn't see him agitating the police officers at all. But did you, you say you from Houston, right? Yeah. Do you have your concealed carry permit?
Starting point is 01:31:20 Yes. Where do you take your gun? Not to a police people. But you take it to a fat food restaurant. You're walking. Not to a people protest and I'm not about to go and get into a confrontation with a police officer with a gun on me. That just doesn't make a lot of sense. Well, he wasn't, he wasn't confronting the officers.
Starting point is 01:31:38 He was helping between the women. And remember, he was an ICU nurse. So he was the one that could actually help them. He never grabbed his firearm. Never. They actually took the firearm from him. and he wasn't fighting him back, and then they started shooting. He'd never even reach for it.
Starting point is 01:31:53 His hand was still on his phone. I don't know how anybody can watch that video and say that he approached them and was being aggressive with them. But he didn't. As a black man, we know we live by different rules. Like I said, it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to go and have any confrontation, whether I'm helping a lady or impede any investigation from a police officer with a loaded gun. So what's the point of having concealed carry permits?
Starting point is 01:32:16 Because I didn't, I never... Not to do it to a confrontation with a police officer. police officer with a loaded gun. Show me where it said... Show me where it says you can't take your concealed carry permit to a peaceful protest. Hey, I'm not saying you can't do it. It's a matter of if you should do it or not. Like I said, if you're asking me what I would have done,
Starting point is 01:32:33 I would have been a good witness, videotape the whole thing, and now you can get their badge number and their names, and you can go further with that. After that, first. The bottom line is he did not see the video. He told us the truth when we first answered the phone for him. He said he didn't see. say it at first, then he said he did.
Starting point is 01:32:50 No, I said I did see the video. I saw the video. They're playing that everywhere. I'll tell you this, my brother. Even if we disagree on values, even if we disagree on policy, man, we got to defend shared facts, bro. What happened to that, brother? What happened to Alec Freddie was wrong?
Starting point is 01:33:02 It was horrible. I'm not saying nobody deserves to lose their life. It's not what I'm saying. But what do you expect to happen when you get into a confrontation with a police officer and you have a gun and they have a gun? No, I don't expect that to happen, especially in a concealed carry state. You can wear your gun on your holster? I do not expect to get shot and killed
Starting point is 01:33:19 just because me and a police officer have a so-called confrontation. Especially when they confront me and they're their aggressive. A physical confrontation. Then why did he just comply? Why did he just lay down? He put his head behind the jack. I don't have my gun in my hand.
Starting point is 01:33:34 He didn't have nothing in his head. He got shot in the jack, bro. On his knees. You guys saying, hey, he didn't have his gun in his hand. I understand he didn't have his gun in his hand. But that's not the same as, hey, putting your hands behind your back. Hey, I'm complying with whatever. orders you guys are giving me.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Sir, you got your legal gun license, right? What's the first thing that they say? I got my legal gun license. What's the first thing they say? Your life has to be, you have to fear for your life to use that firearm, correct? Even with a legal gun license, hey, I understand I can judge myself at a different way when dealing with the police. To use that gun license, correct? Because we all take the same classes.
Starting point is 01:34:05 You have to fare for your life. That man did not have his hand on his weapon. The gun was taking from him. They disarmed him. They were walking away with his firearm when they shot him. So what was the reason to shoot him? So what was the reason to shoot him, brother? I'm not going against what you guys are saying with that.
Starting point is 01:34:19 That was wrong. But what I'm saying is before you even got there, why even go to a peaceful protest with a firearm and get into any physical confrontation with the police? Like I said, as a black man, I understand that's a no-no. Why go to Dunkin' Donuts with your firearm? Because it's the law, you're able to do that. Unless there's a sign, of course.
Starting point is 01:34:37 Once again, Mr. Solomon, just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should. I do understand what you're saying. It's not the same thing as going to a peaceful protest with my. gun because I can. I think it's worse. I get what he's saying too. Right?
Starting point is 01:34:50 Because the guy did nothing. But you're saying, well, he shouldn't have got shot and killed. He didn't have no fire off. You're right. You're right. He shouldn't have shot and killed. It sounds like you, it sounds like you victim blaming. That's what you sound like to me.
Starting point is 01:35:01 My thing is this, man. There is no handbook that says, you know, your concealed carry permit cannot be bought at a peaceful protest. Just like there's no place that says you can't bring it to Dunkin' Donuts. Unless Dunkin' Donuts has a sign on the door that says, hey, don't come in here with your gun. So the guy did nothing wrong. He didn't grab his gun, getting to press him with, he wasn't being aggressive, he wasn't being violent, none of that.
Starting point is 01:35:22 And they disarmed him and then shot him 10 times. What are we talking about, y'all? Come on, man. And then I don't even understand what the last brother was arguing about because he's agreeing that it was wrong. Yeah. So I don't get it. What responsibility or accountability does ICE have in this situation? All right.
Starting point is 01:35:37 Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up, so don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Yeah. You're talking, L.L. Coobbe. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself.
Starting point is 01:35:46 I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that, take me through that. The latest with Lauren Lewis. On the breakfast club. LL. Culebay, talk to me. Take us through there, hello. All right, so I know we mentioned this briefly, NVIA, I know you mentioned it earlier, Tracy Morgan.
Starting point is 01:36:11 So Tracy Morgan was at the next game, and outside of the next game, There was a man who recognized him that I guess they went to school together at some point. And Tracy Morgan's reaction to the guy who was asking for some money has gone viral. Let's take a listen. William. What's up? Don't talk to me like I owe you something, but I didn't say that. Boy, can I get something, please?
Starting point is 01:36:31 No. Yeah, but I'm homeless, boy. What that got to do with me? I can't do that? Oh. Can I get to do my sister? Yeah, so it's going viral, of course, and people are having a conversation about whether Tracy Morgan was wrong
Starting point is 01:36:50 or not for saying no, and the things that he said. How can you say he was wrong if you have no idea what that man used to say or do to Tracy? I don't feel like he was wrong either. He was bullied by the guy or something, you know what I mean? I'm with Tracy. You treated me away when we were younger or treated me away when we were coming up at this industry? I never forgot that.
Starting point is 01:37:08 And now I'm up and now you see me? I'm supposed to care because you made me feel away. I don't even got to get that deep with it. I just don't know. you shouldn't have an opinion because you just don't know what that man used to do or say to Tracy.
Starting point is 01:37:18 And the fact that he remembered all these years later I think speaks to whatever it could have been and how it sat with him. And then, y'all, I think you don't want to be saying this all the time.
Starting point is 01:37:26 People will never forget how you made them feel and, you know, as a kid, he could have made Tracy feel very bad about whatever. So you just never know. Now you're homeless. That ain't my fault.
Starting point is 01:37:36 But I'm homeless though. No. You don't know what that man used to do or say to Tracy. It could be something very heinous, very mysterious. And we have no idea. So,
Starting point is 01:37:45 But Tracy, they still react like that all of these years later. Clearly it was something. So that's not for us to have an opinion on. Yes. Well, also here in New York over the weekend, Tiana Taylor did S&L, Farringet Live. Yes. So she starts out with her monologue and in the monologue. You guys remember the moment when she was giving her Golden Gold Speets
Starting point is 01:38:04 where she was talking about her kids being on the phone. They kind of play on that and her kids were in the audience. Let's take a listen to her monologue. Man, I really, really love my kids so much. So I bring them everywhere with me. I ain't even going front. But when I was giving my speech at the Golden Globes, I looked up to see my babies,
Starting point is 01:38:17 and wanted to see their faces, you know, just to see that they were scrolling on their phones. So I'm like, this is so amazing, get off them phones. What an honor, get off the phones. But for real, I feel so lucky. I've worked so hard throughout my career to get to this point, and I'm just so grateful to be here with my babies chairing me on.
Starting point is 01:38:41 So when you hear the audience laugh, the camera pans to her daughters who were on their phone. On the phone. Yeah, so it's a funny moment. But it's amazing to watch her, but to know that they're there, they're watching as well, too, was fire. Now they do one skit, this is the, a new skit that they do behind the headlines. And in this skit, they talk about a lot of the ICE protests and some of the things that we've seen happen recently in the news. Let's take a listen to the news skit.
Starting point is 01:39:04 Well, let's start in Minneapolis, where ICE continues to raid homes and businesses and what some people are calling an occupation. Christopher, your take on this? You've got federal officers roaming the streets, just pulling people out of their cars based on how they look. I mean, this just doesn't happen in America. I know it happens with some police. There are certainly bad cops out there, of course, but this is an entire federal force weaponized against the people it's supposed to protect. It's insane. But the difference here is these officers are.
Starting point is 01:39:45 marching through neighborhoods with the express mission of just stirring things up so they can violently arrest people. That's new. The fact everyone knew what their sketch was about without them having to spell it out. Like the selective memory people have, you know, in regards to some of these stories, like, we've been seeing things like this happening in communities of color forever. But now all of a sudden when it's happening to, you know, white people, it's like, Oh, my God. Can you believe this?
Starting point is 01:40:15 Wow. Can you believe this is happening? Oh, my goodness. This is never happened. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Yeah. Political shock is really selective memory.
Starting point is 01:40:24 Oh, very much. So, especially when it's happening to people of color or black people. Now, as we keep going through the news, this is just breaking right now. Shout out to Tiana Taylor as well. Go ahead. I was just going to ask you, you said something when I was walking past you, you said that somebody did an article that saying that they felt like they did Tiana and injustice, right? Because they said she was dope and she's a great actor. is a great thing, but they feel like the skits.
Starting point is 01:40:46 By the way, y'all ain't never watch SNL, huh? Because it's all very, I think, I think, so, okay, because SNL is very, like, what type of comedy is it where it's, like, very, like, plain, like, the punchline is right there. Dry, yeah, like, that's just what SNL does. SNL's writing sucks sometime. Yeah, yeah, basically it. But Deadline did an article, and they were talking about the writing,
Starting point is 01:41:07 how they feel like she deserved better writing for, you know, the type of talent that Tiana Taylor is. And dropping a clue to mom's of Tiana Taylor is. She's still buying it. She did that for the season. She did. She did. Boy when God makes it your season.
Starting point is 01:41:17 Nice. She killed the old man skit. She killed the... Oh, that was good, too. The gate agent. Yeah, the gate agent. The gay agent. The gay agent.
Starting point is 01:41:26 The gay agent. They didn't say that one either. Oh, my God. Yeah. But before we wrap, I do want to mention this because this is just breaking. So Kanye West took out a ad in the Wall Street Journal. And this is an apology. So this apology is to people he's hurt.
Starting point is 01:41:46 He's talking about the black and the Jewish community. It starts to those I've hurt. 25 years ago, I was in a car accident that broke my jaw and caused injury to my right frontal lobe of my brain. At the time, the focus was on the visible damage, the fracture, the swelling, and the immediate physical trauma. The deeper injury, the one inside my skull went unnoticed. Comprehensive scans were not done, and neurological exams were limited, and the possibility
Starting point is 01:42:08 of injury was never raised. So basically, he's talking about not being properly diagnosed for the mental health issues he talks about or he has. So then he goes into talking about his bipolar disorder. He talks about being manic and being in denial. And he says, you don't think you're sick. You think everyone else is overreacting.
Starting point is 01:42:25 You feel like you're seeing the world more clearly than them when in reality you're losing your grip. And then he talks about, you know, how it alienates you when people call you crazy. You feel as if you cannot contribute anything meaningful to the world. He says he lost touch with reality. Things got worse. The longer he ignored the problem.
Starting point is 01:42:41 And he did things he deeply regret. So this is when he kind of goes into the apologies. He says, Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst. You endure fear, confusion, and humiliation. In a fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika, and even sold T-shirts bearing it. One of the difficult aspects of having bipolar disorder is that you disconnect in moments.
Starting point is 01:43:01 He says he regrets deeply his actions and he's mortified by them in the state that he was in. He's committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It does not excuse what he did, he says. I am not a Nazi or anti-Semi. I love Jewish people. Now to the black community, Kanye West says, To the black community,
Starting point is 01:43:19 which held me down through all of the highs and lows in the darkest of times. The black community is unquestionably the foundation of who I am. I am sorry that I have let you down. I love us. He talks about how in early 2025 he fell into a four-month-long
Starting point is 01:43:31 manic episode of psychotic, paranoid, and impulsive behavior that destroyed his whole life. And he says at some points he didn't even want to be here anymore. He said he hit rock bottom a few months ago, and his wife was the person. and who encouraged him to finally go get help.
Starting point is 01:43:45 So between, you know, different treatments that he's been doing and reading Reddit in different forms where he sees that he's not alone, he's, you know, been able to come to terms with some things. Wow. Yeah, so it's a whole breakdown. He also talks about, you know, that he's not asking for sympathy or free pass. He doesn't aspire to earn people's forgiveness, but he's writing this today to simply act for patience and understanding
Starting point is 01:44:08 as he finds his love or he finds his way, and then he ends it with love, yeah. I haven't read the letter yet. I just heard it when you said it just come out. But you know why I feel like this is real? Because we haven't seen Kanye in a long time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:21 And I feel like he's been I feel like he's been doing the work on himself and that's why we haven't seen him. And I pray he continues to do the work and I want to see him get mentally and emotionally healthy. I want to see him get healed. And then you also reported last week that him and Kim are in a better place with co-parenting.
Starting point is 01:44:36 So I think that's amazing. So hopefully he is getting help. But even when I heard that last week, I thought to myself, I said, oh, If he's in a better place with Kim, with co-parents, then he must really be doing the work on himself because she was keeping the babies away. Yeah, she was just trying to be protected as a mom.
Starting point is 01:44:49 You know, right where he needed to be mentally. Yeah. Let's hope. Let's hope that he's getting the help, and that is he's turning things around. So salute to that, brother. Yeah, so that's published now on the Wall Street Journal. So.
Starting point is 01:45:01 Oh, come. Now you got to go kiss the wall, Kanye. You know, that's the next thing. That's just how it's going to go. I'm telling you that right now. All right. you that right now. That is the latest with Lord. He would be in Israel kissing the wall.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Yeah. All right. When we come back, we got the mix. The people's choice mix is the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Salarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. You guys be safe if you're digging yourself out today. It's still pretty nasty outside. There's a lot of snow. They're asking for
Starting point is 01:45:31 people to just stay inside one more day while they clear up the roads and stuff. You remember what J-Coh said, you need a nigger that's going come over and dig you out. Remember that? Yes. I don't think he was talking Like snow. I think he was talking about like pounded out, like plow it out. I thought he was talking about a snow blizzard.
Starting point is 01:45:46 A bitch in the middle of the blizzard. You can't get an on car off the spot. Yeah, he was talking about sex. Well, listen, what if you can't stay home though? Like, what if your boss wants you to come back to work? Or, you know, what if school starts? Like, what if you don't have another day? I mean, you got to do what you got to do.
Starting point is 01:45:58 Today is some people's snow day. But that is why they, in New York City, at least, they shouldn't have made them kids stay home to do, you know, remote learning. Remote learning. I agree with. You need to be outside, helping their parents, clean the car off clean up them driveways. You know, I think you dropped the ball on that one, Mandani.
Starting point is 01:46:13 I saw something. It was a video. This guy was like, I can't go to work. And his boss picked him up. Really? Yep. Carpool and it picked everybody up, all his staff. So it was no reason that they could call out.
Starting point is 01:46:24 Because he picked him up and took him home. What kind of job was this? I have no idea. I just saw it. I was on TikTok and the guy said, you know, my boss picked me up. He was making a video in the van with the rest of his coworkers who the supervisor picked up. Yeah, they probably do a landscaping.
Starting point is 01:46:38 They probably do a landscaping. They probably shoveling people snow. They were not Mexican. They were literally, they were just like regular people. You know more than Mexicans do landscaping. You know that? Whoa, yeah. And listen, for everybody who is watching us on Netflix later, thank you.
Starting point is 01:46:51 Make sure you go to Netflix and set your reminders. I don't know why y'all thought that we would be live on Netflix. But, you know, I think that could be in the future. You know, we could be live on Netflix while we're on the air. But just like how, you know, you would go to YouTube and watch, you know, full portions of the Breakfast Club. Yes. It's the same thing on Netflix now. So you know, you'll see the clips and stuff on social media per usual.
Starting point is 01:47:13 You'll see the clips and stuff on YouTube per usual. But if you want to watch, you know, full episodes, you got to go to Netflix. That's right. All right. Well, you got a positive note. I do, man. I just want to talk about forgiveness. When you forgive, you in no way change the past, but you sure do change the future.
Starting point is 01:47:30 I think. I'm still working on that. I just told you all that. You know what I'm saying? I don't even know if I necessarily believe that. Man, because I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to be better.
Starting point is 01:47:38 better. I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to learn how to forgive. You know what I'm saying? And I do forgive. This guy's crazy. But I don't be forgetting. He's been learning for 10 years. For 10 years, he'd been telling me to do it, but he ain't didn't getting there. I'm getting there. How are you going to tell me to do it? I'm just putting it out in the atmosphere. Maybe one day I'll get there. I don't think me that I got to mess with you anymore, though. Like I can forgive you and still not F with you. You know what I'm with you. Like it. I'm always remember I don't like you. Word. That's crazy. But you know what? Think about you, people will be not liking
Starting point is 01:48:07 you and you be okay with liking themselves. People talk crap about you Lie on you and everything You'll be like Oh just pray for them They can come over here anytime Because the reason I ain't say that He invites him back
Starting point is 01:48:17 Because the reality is God is only going Judge me based off how I treat people Not how how people treat me And I don't know if y'all know it not But man I am so blessed I am blessed You remind us every time Chetang
Starting point is 01:48:27 No it ain't got nothing to do with money I am blessed He reminded me how broke I was last week Just last week He was like That's what I get paid the big bucks for And they looked at me like
Starting point is 01:48:37 First of all Just a figure of speech. That's a figure of speech that everybody says. And you say it for silly things. Like, you know, I like the way you poured that cup of coffee. That's why I get paid the big bucks. You know what I mean? Like, it's just, it was had nothing to doing nothing. Okay.
Starting point is 01:48:51 It's not about money, though. Okay. I am blessed because I am just blessed. God loves me. Okay. God loves me too. You ain't said with confidence. No, you can say God love me. I love me. I love me too. Okay. I hope he does. The Breakfast Club.
