Yeah? I feel like the whole week I'll be tired and then Friday just, woo, perk up energy. That's right. What you did yesterday? Anything? I went home and got ready for today. Been listening to music all night, watching interviews. We got stuff happening today, so I was home chilling.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Okay, well yesterday, you know, we had parent-teachers meeting for my son Jackson, but they did it a little different. They did a STEM competition where they asked the parents and family members and each table you have a competition of who could build a robot and build an arm to pick the robot up right? I realized last night that I wasn't that good in science because while other parents had all types of levers and things like that to actually make the robot and to pick the robot up I couldn't figure out how to do it so I had to use like two pieces of wood to make chopsticks. Awesome. And the chopsticks was able to use to pick
Starting point is 00:03:48 up what I had to pick up. So out of I think 20 families, 22 families we came in second. Did you get the wood up? At least you came in second. I did, I did get the wood up. I dropped the ball for myself. I was very excited. I realized I was very competitive because I told my younger daughters fall back for a little bit and let me and the older one figure this out. But we did come in second place. So, salute to all the parents that had to go to parent-teacher conference in the last couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:04:11 They're getting crappy with these parent-teacher conferences. I actually like it better. The competition was a lot, it was more fun than actually sitting there and them talking about the kids because they did a little bit of both. But it also, you know, I had families together so I thought that was pretty dope. So again, salute to everybody out there. What up, Sharla? Hey, man. How y'all feeling out there, man? I feel blessed black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. What's going on? It's a beautiful Friday. That's right. Do
Starting point is 00:04:33 we say we tell people our guy Kevin Hart's gonna be here this morning? No, we're about to say that now. Kevin Hart will be joining us. That's right. He has a lot going on. He's on tour right now. He has a two part documentary film called number one on the call sheet, which premieres Friday, March 28th.

He's at New York all weekend a radio city musical doing his age ain't nothing but a number tour that's right. That is right. I think that's what it's called. No, Acting My Age. Damn. Acting My Age.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I'm like, wait a minute, that don't sound right. You're the one. The Acting My Age Tour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right, well let's get this show cracking. We got front page news. Morgan will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:05:14 And then get it off your chest, man. If you need to get something off your chest, something's bothering you, whatever it may be, you can get on them phone lines right now. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess H Solaris, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. So let's get in some front page news. Morning Morgan. Good morning DJ Envy, Charlamagne the God and Lauren LaRosa. How y'all feeling? Happy Friday. Happy Friday girl. What's up?
Starting point is 00:05:42 All right. So y'all had energy this morning. I love it. All right. So top I had energy this morning. I love it. All right. So top of the headlines. Look, there's yet another update on tariffs. Okay. Let's try to keep up.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Look, I know it's a lot to keep up with, but I got you. Okay. So the White House is now suspending tariffs on most goods against Mexico and Canada at least until April 2nd. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he spoke with Mexico's president yesterday. That's Claudia Scheinbaum, and added that the country won't be required to pay tariffs on anything under the United States, Mexico, and Canada agreement. That's the executive order that he signed at the White House yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So let's hear those comments from President Trump on tariffs. This is very much about companies and countries that have ripped off this country, our country, our beloved USA, and they're not going to be ripping us off anymore. How many more times is Trump going to pump fake, Morgan? You know, I hope tariffs don't happen at all, but you know, this hokey pokey of I'm going to put tariffs on everything and then pulling it back is getting getting a little old Don't you think I yes I do I think what happened what had happened yesterday though was because of that the the market the market pretty much You know drops so drastically that it it got into the billionaires pockets and was like hey
Starting point is 00:06:58 I'm sure somebody you know sent a raven, but the United States Mexico and Canada agreement or USMCA center raven but on the united states mexico in canada agreement or u s m c a which you'll probably start hearing makes the three north american nations a free trade zone so i try to say claudia schaumbach will work with the u s on securing the border uh... commerce secretary howard letnick said that the trumps that trouble most likely announced a one-month delay on all on uh... what he did not see one month delay on canadian tears as well
Starting point is 00:07:24 and this of course comes as as I mentioned, the Wall Street stocks have sharply lowered. Of course, those tariffs will be delayed until April 2nd. So we will see what happens as a result. And most recently, of course, President Trump put an exemption on auto tariffs from the two countries. And that just happened on Wednesday. In other news, President Trump is defending the cuts being made by the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOJ, under the direction of Elon Musk. He signed an executive order and made the comments, speaking from the White
Starting point is 00:07:53 House saying he wants to keep good people in government. And let's take a listen to Trump comments on streamlining the government with DOJ. Elon and the group are going to be watching them and if they can cut it's better and if they don't cut then Elon will do the cutting. I want the cabinet members to keep good people. I don't want to see a big cut where a lot of good people are cut. I want the cabinet members to keep the good people and the people that aren't doing a good job that are unreliable don't show up to work etc.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Those people can be cut. So he's keeping the power with the cabinet members basically. Pretty much. Yeah. You know, as he should, that's the way it's supposed to be. Yeah. So the president, of course he asked that he does trust Elon Musk to make the right cuts.
Starting point is 00:08:36 However, Elon has previously said in the cabinet meeting that Doge will make mistakes, but they will also be corrected quickly. Like when they accidentally cut funding for Ebola research and prevention. So yeah. A majority of young Americans disapprove Elon Musk's work heading the Department of Government Efficiency. A survey from Axios and Generation Lab found that seven in ten between the ages of 18
Starting point is 00:08:59 and 34 say they disapprove of Doge's work. That includes over half of all young people surveyed who said they strongly disapprove of Doge's work. That includes over half of all young people surveyed who said they strongly disapprove. Doge's efforts to cut down the federal workforce has resulted in hundreds of thousands of firings as of February 14th. And speaking of Elon Musk, you know, Nicki Minaj said Starships were meant to fly, right? Well, that doesn't seem to be the case as SpaceX's latest failed rocket launch resulted in an explosion with debris raining down on the Bahamas yesterday. Elon Musk's company launched a Starship from Texas on Thursday afternoon which spun out of control and exploded eight minutes into its test flight.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Spectators are posting fiery videos of debris falling from the sky into the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. The FAA has briefly slowed aircraft in that area as a result during SpaceX's latest test flight in January. The Starship rocket also exploded about eight minutes after takeoff. How do we know it exploded? How do we know extraterrestrials from another planet didn't shoot it out the sky? Does it matter? No. Yes, it does. Either way, we got to figure out what is happening.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Y'all are not going to sit here and tell me it wouldn't matter on whether it exploded or extraterrestrial shot it out the sky. Are you crazy? That's a trust just from another planet. I think either way it's alarming to me. Period. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Everything that extraterrestrials from another planet. I said alarming things out the sky. Alarming at this point. I mean really, is anything going to surprise us at this point? Um, I say that I mentioned that though, because you guys have you heard about Katy Perry and Gil King being a part of this first? Yeah, so that is right. The Blue Origin New Shepard rocket that's mission is scheduled to happen later this year in the spring. That again, so that mission again,
Starting point is 00:10:41 like I said, is scheduled to happen later in in the spring and that's led by Lauren Sanchez Which is a partner of Blue Origins billionaire founder Jeff Bezos So this is Jeff Bezos company, but you know, maybe Jeff needs to talk to Elon about you know The Rockets that's his girl to Lauren Sanchez. I mean I've done. Oh, yeah, that's his girl. Yeah To be a part of this first all-f female crew to launch into space so we will see. Yeah I don't believe they really going to space. You seen Fly Me To The Moon with Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson? Yeah y'all should watch Fly Me To The Moon with Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I don't think they really going to the moon. I don't. Well that's your front page news for 6 a.m. at 7 a.m. We'll talk about what happened as a result of our representative Al Green's protest on the House floor during the joint session of Congress and we'll also get into Medicaid and what's happening with that. Stick around. Well, thank you Morgan. They also said that SpaceX thing they say although the rocket did explode
Starting point is 00:11:39 It was something that came out of it that was good the way that it landed or something like that It was able not to land and hurt or something like that that he was like that was a good thing what I was Thanos in the black order telling y'all stay y'all ass out the sky okay no more charlotte space just get out of here all right all right well everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines to wide open call us up now it's the Breakfast Club good morning the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed.
Starting point is 00:12:14 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yes, this is Worker P. Worker P. What up? Get it off your chest. I would like to say to the list, well, first of all, I'd like to say good morning
Starting point is 00:12:29 to the breakfast crew. Good morning. And everybody in the room. I'd like to say as a worker or an employee in the healthcare system, I am a sustainable employee. I work hard, my work is fabulous and I hate that a supervisor and or manager would not know what you do but yet ask you what you do or ask questions that are unnecessary especially when they've worked with so
Starting point is 00:13:02 many years and they question you but they won't question anybody else. Sometimes that will break your morale. So I've been talking to myself, I'm on my way to work, but I said, let me call in and let the listeners know, don't let anyone question your ethics. There you go. You keep that word, you work with consciousness and you keep the movement.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Can I ask you one question? Yes. You don't think a supervisor should ask you what it is that you're doing or what you've done? Not necessarily because if the work is getting, if you're performing your duty and you are, let's say we have you at an evaluation, they can't question, you know, your workflow or work ethic, especially when you're getting the job
Starting point is 00:13:47 done. And in my situation, I work in two different positions, two full-time positions, and I'm not getting paid for the two positions, and it's not the pay, but the respect that goes along with it. Acknowledgement. If you have the effect on me to find out how I'm doing something, or if I need help doing something, or if there's a tool that you can provide me with, why would you ask me what I'm doing? I agree.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I think all of that should be a part of the evaluation. That's why I asked the question, because I think sometimes we forget that a supervisor has a job to do too, and the supervisor's job job to do too. And the supervisor's job is to evaluate what the employees are doing. But I think it has to consist of everything you just said, not just what are you doing. It should be how can we help you do your job better?
Starting point is 00:14:37 How can we make your job easier? I think that's what a lot of supervisors forget. But I also think it's checks and balances too. I think people have to make sure that their employees are doing their job because you have a manager and your manager has a supervisor and that supervisor has to answer to the CEO. And there's checks and balances
Starting point is 00:14:54 to make sure everybody's working. Where you're doing your job, Linda, there might be somebody that's not doing their job and they gotta make sure that everybody's doing their job. Make sure that their supervisor and their manager's doing their job. I think it's checks and balances in the workplace. Yes, and there is a check and balance, but the thing is, when you balance one, you're
Starting point is 00:15:12 not checking the other. See, that's the problem that I have because I supervise myself. I manage myself because guess what? When I leave every day from this job and the work in the healthcare industry, my consciousness is clear. I'm going far and beyond. That's what it is. Well thank you mama, we appreciate your call. And I'm fulfilled with that. I'm fulfilled with that. But I just had to call because I said I've been talking to myself. So I had to call to ask for help. So when I get to work, I can continue talking to myself.
Starting point is 00:15:45 And so you don't slap nobody. So we appreciate you. You have a great day at work. I understand what she's saying though. I understand what she's saying. A lot of times when they do these evaluations, they don't ask how they can help you do your job better. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's a new day. Is it your time to get it off your chest?

Starting point is 00:20:28 105 1 now we got the latest with Lauren coming up when we talk about we do Stephen A Smith might have just got a hundred M's but it might it's reported But he also got ran on that and got ran down on by LeBron, so we won't talk about some who cares Big ones too. All right, we'll get into that. Next is the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club We're gonna talk about some things. Who cares? Yeah. We're gonna talk about it. I got enough of security now. Big ones too. All right, we'll get into that next. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:20:49 The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. You sound like one of Drake's owls just now. Woo. Yo, shut up. Oh, my goodness. You want to be an owl tattoo on his ass so bad.
Starting point is 00:20:57 What? Let's get to the latest with Lauren. This guy's a jerk. Worldwide method. I need this, bro. On The Breakfast Club, we're gonna talk about some things. Who cares? Yeah. We're gonna talk about it. I got enough of security now. Big ones too. All right, we'll get into that next. be a tattoo on his ass so bad. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. This guy's a jerk.
Starting point is 00:21:09 On the Breakfast Club, the coacheship with Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. And I got the message. All right, so congratulations are in order. Stephen A. Smith reportedly has inked a deal for $100 million. The ESPN. Okay. Queens get the money. Love it. Yes. So this is a new five-year $100 million deal contract. This has been confirmed with a person familiar with the matter to a few outlets. I'm currently looking at CNBC. ESPN did decline to comment on the contract deal but listen. If I'm not mistaken that makes him the highest paid personality in ESPN history. Well deserved. I'm pretty sure. Stephen A. Queens get the money! 20 million a year that's pretty I'm pretty sure that's the
Starting point is 00:21:59 highest paid contract in ESPN history for a personality. He deserves every bit of it. Yes he does. Oh yeah because right now it's listed as Joe Buck but he only received a 75 million, wait ESPN's professional football coverage earned 15 million per year on a five year 75 million dollar contract. Yeah so that would put Stephen A over Joe Buck. So from what I'm looking at, yes to your point Charlamagne. He grinded it out too to nothing was given to him. Yeah. Brother from Queens that worked
Starting point is 00:22:27 his ass off to get that. And congratulations to Stephen A. Well, Stephen A. I mean, with all the congratulations, you know, got to take the good with the bad. Yesterday, LeBron James was seeing court side having a few words with Stephen A. Smith. Now we don't have the audio of that conversation because you can't really hear it and you just would hear the background. But you can see just from what LeBron is saying, it does look like he's saying, keep my son's name out your mouth. He doesn't appear too happy at all to be talking to Stephen A and then he walks off. But and everybody that's picking this up is, you know, I pointed to the obvious that Stephen
Starting point is 00:22:58 A has been very honest about Ronnie James and Ronnie James playing. So let's take a listen to one of Stephen A's last takes on Bronnie James. I'm really, really trying to be as respectful as I possibly can be towards LeBron James. One of the top two or three players in the history of basketball, number two in my eyes. I am pleading with LeBron James as a father, stop this.
Starting point is 00:23:29 We all know that Bronnie James is in the NBA because of his dad We love what we're seeing from him in the G League because that's where you belong as you hone your skills And you get better and you legitimately earn which I believe he has the potential to do I am rooting for Bronnie James, but right now Bronny James is averaging 0.3 points 0.3 assists and 0.4 rebounds how are you doing him favors we know that he's not ready yet what did you say wrong nothing there was disrespectful it was honest you may not like to hear that if you're LeBron James, but it was not disrespectful in any way, shape, or form. And I understand, you know, that's your son, LeBron,
Starting point is 00:24:10 but Bronnie James is also an NBA player. So he's going to get the same critique as other NBA players do. Maybe it was something else, because that wasn't disrespectful at all. He came with facts. Like that wasn't disrespectful. Is there something else that we missed?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Because that wasn't disrespectful at all. I can understand LeBron not liking it. It's the truth though. I don't care if it's the truth. It's the truth. I can understand him not liking that is what I'm saying. When we talked about Bronnie James in here before, I had mentioned that I felt like when people talk about Bronnie, they keep it real cute because of LeBron James. And that's what I, and I don't watch sports all the time, but when I do see takes, it's always like people are scared to say what Stephen A just said. So I would, I would see why LeBron could be upset about that.
Starting point is 00:24:54 I think a lot of people who said that, that they think that he deserves to be in the G league to hone his skills and then get up and hop at the NBA. I think everybody said that. And I think that's what he's doing. Everybody knows Ronnie James got drafted because his daddy is LeBron James. And that's so- Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds, but what if there's something else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night, silent, unseen,
Starting point is 00:25:22 watching? They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there, one minute it wasn't. Oh, that is beyond creepy.

Starting point is 00:29:15 And there will be more comments. It'll happen. And that's why Steven ain't got that a hundred million dollars cause this is what he does. But I can also understand LeBron pressing him over that too because in LeBron's mind, he's like, yo, you're not going to be out here killing the confidence of my son Cuz my son gonna hear this and that might mess up his confidence on the court
Starting point is 00:29:33 I think y'all miss what I'm saying. I'm not saying anybody's right or wrong in this situation. I'm just saying I understand both Got you. That's it.

I want to rush through it I want to take my time and when I gave y'all the latest, okay All right. All right. Now when we come back, we got front page news and then Kevin Hart will be joining us
Starting point is 00:30:32 It'll go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club Envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club Lauren La Rosa is here as well. Let's get some front page news. What's up Morgan? Well, let's get back into it. Okay, so House representatives censured Representative Al Green, you know the Texas Democrat who protested during Trump's speech which led to the removal of him from the House chamber Well, the censure passed with a party line vote of 224 to 198 making green the 28th member to receive such a reprimand. So let's take a listen to the House censure of Representative Al Green. The House has resolved that Representative Al Green be censured. That Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well of the House
Starting point is 00:31:19 of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure and that representative Al Green be censured. So a House censure is an official reprimand for a member noted in their record requiring them to stand while their misconduct is read aloud. Ten Democrats including representative Amy Barra from California supported the censure alongside Republicans while Green voted present. When Green stood to hear the resolution read he began singing We Shall Overcome along with other Democrats causing more disruptions following the censure lawmakers from both parties shouted at each other. So this seems to be an ongoing tension. How could any Democrat vote to censure Congressman Al Green? And this is why Democrats are considered weak. Republicans would never do that to each other. In fact, they would be celebrating a congressman or woman who disrupted the opposition. And this is why democratic leadership is considered weak because
Starting point is 00:32:15 Hakeem and Jeffries and all of those people should have been telling folks, we not voting for no censor for Al Green? Censor, yeah. You're right. Well, yeah. Hakeem Jeffries. I'll get into his comments in a second and he was Do we have to play any comments from Hakeem Jeffries? Oh man. I'm sure they're weak, I'm sure they watered down, I'm sure they're just copying and pasting talking points from his political father and mother Nancy Filosi and Chuck Schumer. Okay you may feel that way but let's at least give the listeners. Before we get into Hakeem Jeffries let's bring
Starting point is 00:32:44 it back to Republican James Comer, who said Green's actions were unacceptable and not what the American people want. Let's hear those comments from Representative Comer. To wave your cane and try to invoke a scene of violence, like you're fighting and all of that, that's just not where America wants to see our Congress behave. People expect us to agree on things like reducing wasteful spending and trying to have peace around the world. But these are the issues where the Democrats are creating most of the chaos to try to disrupt Congress. Did he feel that way when Joe Wilson yelled, you lied at Obama?
Starting point is 00:33:23 Did he feel that way when Marjorie Taylor lied at Obama did he feel that way when Marjorie Taylor Green was you know? Yelling and being disruptive at President Biden like did he feel that way during those moments? Right, and you know, they didn't get censured. So there's that it is because Democrats are punks Democrats I mean they should have sent to them. I didn't know you can do that No Speaking of Democrats house House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Republicans are just trying to shift attention because President Trump hasn't done what he said he would do. Let's hear those comments from Hakeem Jeffries.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Donald Trump consistently promised that grocery prices were going to be lowered on day one, but costs aren't going down, they're going up. Everything they do is a big, massive distraction. I agree with that because a lot of people thought the whole purpose of voting for Donald Trump was he was supposed to make your life better financially. So I do agree with that. But other than that, Donald Trump has done everything
Starting point is 00:34:21 he said he was going to do. And those things have not been good things. But he told the American people what he was going to do and he's been doing them. And that's the problem. Yeah, well that brings me to my next point. Republicans are looking to slash trillions of dollars in spending in order to pay for President Trump's proposed tax cuts and low income healthcare may be caught in the crossfire. Democrats like California Congressman Pete Aguilar, he warns that cuts to Medicaid will be devastating. Let's take a listen to his comments in regards to those cuts to Medicaid. Cuts to this program would have a ripple effect that impacts the entire health care system, driving up costs and preventing people from getting the health care that they need. There is no way to make those cuts without hurting kids, parents, and seniors who count on Medicaid.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Medicaid ensures that our friends and neighbors in every corner of the country have access to affordable health care. Republicans say that the word Medicaid is not even in their budget bill. Instead, it orders the Congressional Committee that oversees Medicaid eight hundred and eighty billion dollars in health funding over the next decade but that still needs to pass the Senate so we'll keep you posted on that and just the last story you guys Trump is reportedly planning to sign an executive order that effectively shuts down the Department of Education now the draft order seen by the Wall Street Journal will direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all steps permitted by law to facilitate the department's
Starting point is 00:35:47 closure. McMahon, who was confirmed as secretary on Monday, sent staffers an email calling eliminating bureaucratic bloat at the department a momentous final mission. Closing the department would likely require congressional action but McMahon said during her confirmation hearing that there are plans to get Republicans who control both chambers on board so you know a path passing these type of measures is going to be fairly easy you know being that there is a Republican majority in Congress. And guess what cutting the Department of Education can't act surprised because that's
Starting point is 00:36:19 something he told us he was going to do on the campaign trail. It's true. So Hakeem Jeffrey should be reminding people that there's a lot of things he said he was going to do on the campaign trail. It's true. So Hakeem Jeffries should be reminding people that there's a lot of things he said he was gonna do on the campaign trail that was gonna hurt your everyday life and he's doing them. Don't tell people that he's not doing these things because he is. Wasn't that in Project 2025 too?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Yes. Oh yeah. So Project 2025 seems to be like broken down now into these executive orders and people don't seem to realize that most of these have been included in that Project 2025. You don't mess with Hakeem Jeffries, huh? No, I don't care for him. I mean, just politically, I don't know him personally.
Starting point is 00:36:57 No. The leadership is very feckless politically. Gotcha. To me. Let me go for the whole time. I don't think Hakeem is the is the person for this moment you know what I mean like you know I think he might be a good leader he's just not a good wartime leader you know and I think that the
Starting point is 00:37:13 Democratic Party has already found organic leaders and people like Jasmine Crockett and people like AOC and people like Ayanna Presley. I just don't think they stick together I think they all have their own intentions of what they want to do and it just seems like if they were more collective and together I think they would go a lot further like without green walking out and everybody just you know Kind of just don't introduce and say and see you outside. It's just weird. I came is just a leader in position That's it. I'm a rate collaborative efforts I think I can't should be delegating duties and he could to me. He's just a leader in position only
Starting point is 00:37:44 He's not a leader in regards to the messaging people wanna hear. There are people out here that folks will listen to, like Jasmine Crockett. Did you see Jesse Waters on Fox News do that whole segment about Jasmine Crockett? And he was like, yo, this is the new face of the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:37:59 And he was being sarcastic, and he was like, she should run for president. But just the fact that they can even see that this is the person that folks are listening to. That's why I just think, you know, somebody like Hakeem should be, should be really feeding his messaging through because nobody want to hear from him. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Get it off your chest. All right. So that's your front page news, y'all. Happy Friday. I'm Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan media and for more news coverage, follow at black information network, download the free iHeartRadio app and visit binews.com.

We're going to kick it with Kevin Hart in minutes. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:38:58 The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarious. Shalemane the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building who refuses to stop. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Hart. Welcome back brother. He just won't sit down.
Starting point is 00:39:13 How you feeling? Come on, how you feeling? I'm feeling good man, what do you mean? Life is great. No complaints man. I'm here to talk about more which means great is happening still moving still tracking still working still doing the same thing but bigger talk to us about this new two-part documentary you got number one on the call number one call she congratulations out to Jamie Foxx man
Starting point is 00:39:36 this is a Jamie Foxx idea that he came to me with a heartbeat and it was a concept about being the one on the call sheet and the good and bad of it. He's like, a lot of people experience it but it doesn't do the same for everyone. Whether it's the ego, whether it's the money, whether it's the idea of the money, whether it's the thought of my career is now about to be and it doesn't become like there's so many different concepts attached to it. I thought it was a great idea man you know Fox is a brilliant mind and I said to make it real like we got to go out and you know of course tap into all our relationships so what started off is
Starting point is 00:40:16 just the idea for men like we were heavy on the men's side and then we were like yo it's dope if you have it to where you know there's a male version and then we go and we tap in to a female version as well, and really just expand the conversation of success or lack thereof. And it's dope to hear all these people talk about it. So I think people are gonna be blown away
Starting point is 00:40:37 by hearing the good and the bad. Like everybody doesn't f**k with the concept of it. What, being number one on the call sheet? Everybody doesn't f**k with it, man. When did you become number one on the call seat and what does it mean to be that? I've been number one for a while. But when was the fourth time? I love it.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I love it. I don't want to make it very clear. I love it. Now you never left the road. Why is the road so important to you? Because you control it. You own it. There's nothing better.
Starting point is 00:41:01 And you do small venues, you do big venues. There's nothing better than stand-up comedy. And you do small venues, you do big venues. Nothing better than stand-up comedy. There's no job better than the job of live entertainment, live audience, your fans, your connection, your relationship. It doesn't die. If you treat it like a plant and you forever water it, the plant is never going to die. So if it can grow and you have good seasons, bad seasons, it's always going to be there and those fans are just going to ride with you forever.
Starting point is 00:41:26 So I'm very adamant on staying true to stand up comedy. Nothing takes the place of stand up comedy. I don't give a f***. What I'm doing, the level that I'm doing at, I will go and do comedy clubs. I will come to New York for months on a time and just do a run of pop ups. That's my muse. That's my stress reliever. Did you hear Damon Wayans say that he would never do stand up anymore because he was like people are too sensitive. They said people are stupid. Well, yeah
Starting point is 00:41:49 Basically, you know, he says anything people get offended too fast. It's like it's just not worth the distress. I understand I don't see it the same way because I don't have that level of given I don't want to do the thing that I love to do because I'm caring so much about what everybody else is thinking about what I'm Doing like I don't I think he meant that on you know do because I'm caring so much about what everybody else is thinking about what I'm doing. I think you meant that on how the Wayans used to be. No limit. You talk about anything, but now since the new trend is being offended and a lot of people are just, you know.
Starting point is 00:42:15 It is what it is though. All these different communities. I mean, Dame is Dame. Dame is a legend. If Dame wanted to go on stage and f*** around, Dame can do what he wants, when he wants. The idea of people being upset or triggered, if you're thinking about that, like then you're going down a crazy spiral.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I'm not doing comedy and thinking about the thought of what you think about what I'm saying. I have the things I wanna talk about. I know the direction I wanna go in. I'm not here to offend. I'm not here to aggravate or piss people off. I'm here to do my craft Have you apologized yet to Delaware State University for what?
Starting point is 00:42:51 Come on Let me know what it is! What do you mean? I know what Delaware State is. That's just a bunch of n****s on campus. Delaware State University. Shout out Delaware State. Dude, that's just a bunch of n****s in Delaware State. Why would I buy Jackson? Deshaun Jackson said you were sorry! Huh?
Starting point is 00:43:21 I mean, first of all, it is, alright. But it's like, smart people here too. What do you mean? What are you talking about? That little estate knows I have no ill will towards them. I love you guys but it was a funny bit. There's a lot of **** out there. You got your animated show out Lil Kev.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Yes. Talks about your life growing up. Yes. What made you want to do that? Animation style. You know crazy this has been a, this is a crazy development, man. This is, I'm gonna say like seven to eight years
Starting point is 00:43:49 in the making before we could actually like do it properly. Shots out to Scott Mills over there at BET, man, for understanding like my world of want and allowing me to do it the way I wanted to do it. You know, it's an adult animation. And I wanted to like flip the story of the conversation attached to the hood, right? Like everybody talks about the hood from one point of view, you know, the's an adult animation and I wanted to like flip the story of the conversation attached to the hood, right? Like everybody talks about the hood from one point of view, you know, the hood is the hood and people like the hood
Starting point is 00:44:10 It's so bad. Just watch it in the neighborhood. Yeah, like and I think that there's a there's a positive side to it You know, there's a role that everybody plays in the hood Especially when it comes to kids families like everybody's a part of the village. Everybody's raising Everybody's child. Everybody is aware. Everybody's in the know. Everybody's trying their best to service and eat a good and even bad sh** is happening you know when people find out there is an energy attached to trying to solve it and make it better and this is a way of just flipping the conversation on the hood upside down. So it's about me, my upbringing, being in a hood but having
Starting point is 00:44:42 such a high level of love for the hood, for my family, and for all the people around it. And Jess Hilarious is in it, keeping her away from Breakfast Club. Oh, come on. Okay, Jess, don't listen to that. I don't. Yeah, that's ridiculous, first of all. Thank you. I want to make something very clear when people say, like, Kev, thank you for giving people a job.
Starting point is 00:44:58 People earn them jobs. I'm not giving Jess anything. I'm not out, like, hey, here, Jess, here's a f***ing gift. Like, that's Jess just that's her team That's people working and saying hey, this is a good thing to possibly put Jess up for and just say no process I mean you could say no, but when people are talented and earning things on their own It's happening the way it's supposed to be I'm not in the space of know of everything and I'm Hand-picking people and doing like that would mean that I'm I mean the time in a day to do that and do
Starting point is 00:45:26 It and do it and do it and that means that the people around me aren't doing what the they're supposed to do So it's your job to like properly package and put people in places to make these projects good And it's my job to see it at the end stage of going. Wow. This is a great cast These are great personnel great roles. I like this. I like this configuration. But justice earned it. Thank you. You do take the time to pour into the next generation. You know, Druski was up here and Druski said that you gave him and Kaisenat a bunch of movies to watch. You told them, get your stupid, whatever your stupid ass is doing right now, watch these movies.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yeah. And prepare for the next level. That's right. I like what the younger generation is doing. It's crazy I'm saying it. Like I'm really am a part of a time of old. Older you now? 45. Damn!
Starting point is 00:46:09 Well, it doesn't look it. I did that for Don Cato. I did do that for Don Cato. You know, that older generation of how we approach the business, how we approach the craft, right? And I think it's dope as fuck to see this new generation navigate differently. The comedians of today did not go and work at it the same way that we did. They're breaking new ground, finding ways to be the personalities first,
Starting point is 00:46:38 and then get to the stage after. And the way that they're engaging with their audience, and the way that the audience is responding to them, I think it's dope as f**k and being a fan of it I feel like it's my job now to figure out ways to like grab this personnel when and where I can and you know try to push them for it. With Kai Andruski, Kai is such a monster man. I told him I said look man I want to show you guys ways to like give your audience more and ways to do more so So I came up with some dope ass ideas, concepts for us to rock in together. But stay true to the space of what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:47:11 So Druski, I know he came and he was telling you guys about the movie. I don't want to tell you all what it is, but it's a big idea that we're working now. But I was like to do it, you guys got to educate yourself on things in this space. So it wasn't homework. I was like, understand production. Understand how movies are made. Understand the look and feel. I want you to be a part of the process
Starting point is 00:47:29 so you can understand the process. And after you do this with me, go do it yourself. Go do it and figure out ways to, you know, do it with the other people that you're around. All right, we got more with Kevin Hart. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NVEHS Hilar hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
Starting point is 00:47:46 We still kicking it with Kevin Hart Drucie said you actually set him up in that stream with that little kid. He said he said it was you that actually set him up What you need to understand is where the cameras are at all times. When I said the Drusky was in his ear, I said something in his ear. Nobody really knows what I said. He knows what I said. And he took the liberty of going and saying very harsh things, by the way. Things that shouldn't be said.
Starting point is 00:48:19 We've seen you move right out. I don't want to be around that. I've seen a lot of people get in fights. I've when it's about to happen I go I shouldn't be here right I shouldn't be here they about to start shooting yeah by the way he's got the gun I see it I'm gonna leave right now yeah so I just exited the room because I think I think at the time I had to go to the bathroom actually and then a lot of stuff from what I was told what happened from what I was told the kids start crying and stuff like that I and I came back. And I'm like.
Starting point is 00:48:45 He wasn't even around, so you didn't even see him. No, I came back and I was like, what's going on? Right? At that time, I'm the adult in the room, trying to calm shit down, right? Like, hey man, what's happening? And I think all the cameras caught me saying that, which is good for me legally.
Starting point is 00:48:56 So I was never attached. Druske said he felt like he could make those jokes because he's fat, and y'all were teasing him all day about being fat. Oh, Druske, first of all, calling people fat, that's aggressive. jokes because he's fat and y'all were Is Drusky big? Is he a little bigger? Does he have problems breathing when he walks up the steps? Yeah, of course. But that little kid I think was on his way to a healthy lifestyle. You got to support that, right? I think the little kid was talking about exercising and stuff, which is good. I'm always glad to just be on the positive side of conversation. That's
Starting point is 00:49:41 what I'm about. I'm a beacon of light, joy. Kevin, at the level of success that you are being an actor, do you still have to audition for roles or? Absolutely not. Okay. What are you talking about? Damn. Cause Martin Lawrence said he has said that he does. Well I think Martin said he had to, he pitches, he still got to pitch projects. Oh pitch. Yeah that makes sense. If he's pitching things. I mean am I really pitching things? I think I'm pitching ideas to my team. I'm more in the business of creating the things that I think best service my want and my my direction in the business. Like when you think about the dramas you think about all the things that I've done in series like that's been me. So true story
Starting point is 00:50:21 I was like I want to I want to kill somebody on camera I think it'd be dope and I went and found a guy that created narcos And I was like, it'll be dope as if we can collab and talk but we developed it and then I was like, okay This is great. Let's go and take this out. Like that's developing it and then going to sell it Fight night that was me will packer will tell me had to write and I saying hey to do it This can be dope, but let's do it this way and put the right people in it. So like the creative side of from start to finish is where I'm playing at now but like auditioning, I'm not really auditioning. I think people, they have a project, they're like, oh Kevin would be good for this and
Starting point is 00:50:57 I'm getting those calls. Hey we want you to do. And then I got a decision of if I want to do it or not. Like for instance The Upside, that's still one of my favorite movies. You and Bryan Cranston, they already saw you for that role and just called you. They said, we want to do the remake, and we see you and Bryan Cranston doing this.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Are you interested? And that was genius. Absolutely. And Nicole Kidman. I was like, absolutely. Hands down. But it's coming out and having an ask. Not to say that I wouldn't audition.
Starting point is 00:51:22 You would? No. No, he wouldn't. I was about to say that. I was trying to clean it up. No. I was trying to clean it up. I was trying to because nobody knows I got cameras here. I just wanted to look in and make it just look like I'm willing to do. What about social media backlash? Because everybody for whatever reason was highly upset when you hosted NBA All-Star Weekend. There was a section of the internet that was acting like they were? You know, what energy do you give that? I'm a partner to the NBA. Understand what that means.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I'm not coming on to be Kevin Hart and have funny moments to the NBA. The NBA has been a servicing aid to my career for over 15 years. You go back and you'll look at how much I've been on NBA, TNT, and All-Star weekends, Celebrity weekends, all these events. Like this, you're not looking, it's almost host adjacent, right? Like the personalities that we lean on because we're familiar with family and we know how they work. That's what that is. So the All-Star, I'm not going to the All-Star game to try to create a big moment for me. I'm there because the energy of the All-Star game comes with Chuck, Ernie, Kenny, myself, Shaq, like we've been doing this for years. Just talking and playing with each other, bantering on camera.
Starting point is 00:52:34 That's not an easy thing to do. They make it look f**king easy. They make it look great. That's not an easy thing to do. Especially between you and Shaq. Yeah, that seems very easy. That's not f**king an easy thing to do. That chemistry, that rapport, it comes from like having a real understanding for
Starting point is 00:52:47 how TV works. So you can't just throw new things in there because it gets weird. People don't understand the times. People don't understand the cuts. How much time you gotta go. Cut back to the game. They're trying to do so much new s**t. They're trying to discover it.
Starting point is 00:53:00 So while they're trying to figure it out, here's personalities that we can lean on so at least we don't have dead space or dull moments on camera that's what that is so when you understand the technicality behind it then you you understand my involvement I don't I don't feed into the other s*** I know why I'm there. Part of the s***. Do you ever tell Shaq to like really back up off you? Cause he be kind of sexually assaulting you in a little bit. What? Shaq, Shaq, come on. Just a little. What? There's only one time where Shaq has donegy's does some crazy Okay, oh I was uncomfortable Whole thing that's on the internet that they Moment when honestly be rude I couldn't do nothing about it
Starting point is 00:53:40 They kind of cut Before I put a little size on not not to say I could do something to Shaq, but I didn't. That was a very frail version of me. This is when Shaq was like, when they were just talking about Shaq being a cop, and he really was a cop. We thought it would be funny as ****. Shaq pulled me over on Real House of Hollywood, and Sha know like Shaq is like basically about to arrest me. You know everybody can improv.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Say what he did to you Kev. I don't mean to repeat it. That's great they kept rolling. They knew Kev was on the cover. You don't even have to say this. We're not even going to discuss it. For people who haven't seen it. Real Hudders is a great show.
Starting point is 00:54:14 You should watch it. It's a great show. But it's online. What we're not going to do is make it seem like something that it was. So what he did was he grabbed me when I got out the car and he just tried to get a little physical right? It was like... Pat you down. Yeah but just like everybody doesn't improv the same. Comedy is an art. Like you ever
Starting point is 00:54:35 see comedians when they try to like improv and some of them go too far or they don't know when to stop? He's like, hey man we got to end the scene. Like you can't go over there like oh yeah we're your momma. And you're like well you can't bring up moms because you don't know who we got it in the scene. It can't go off forever. I'm like, oh yeah, well you're mama. And he's like, well, you can't bring up moms because you don't know who our moms are in this scene. I just Googled it. Yeah, boy. And it says, hashtag positive week. Ayo, nah, Shaq, you straight violated Kevin Hart.
Starting point is 00:54:56 You literally took that man to pound town. Did it? No, this is, what you're doing is ridiculous. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds. But what if there's something else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover
Starting point is 00:55:18 of night, silent, unseen, watching? They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used to work drone because it was comfortable to other people.

He's a nasty man. In this brief time, I just found out a lot about him. By the way, he starts describing stuff. Very graphic nasty man. Me? I'm just describing what Shaq did to you. He grabbed me and he f**ked me over the car. He's like, you don't know what I can do. He starts humping me. I remember Ralph, the director of the episode me I remember Ralph Right and I was like, man, everybody just shut up. We tried to get you again all start weekend. Everybody just shut up.
Starting point is 01:00:08 No, you didn't. Did you get triggered a little bit? I saw you, he was creeping up behind you. I'm older and I'm in a much more controlling state in my life where I would say something to Shaggy, you know, don't do that. Don't get it. Stop it. Like a you gotta stop it. Right?
Starting point is 01:00:28 Like, confirm, stop that. Right? But in that moment, that was Shaq trying to be funny. That's my ****. Shouts out to the big dummy himself, Shaq. Alright, we got more with Kevin Hart when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Morning everybody. It's EJ and DJ Solaria. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kevin Hart. Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kevin Hart. Charlamagne? I want to go back to number one on the call sheet because Sterling K. Brown did an interview where he said that people wanted to put him number one on the call sheets, but he was
Starting point is 01:00:53 superstitious about it because he'd been successful enough not being number one, so he was okay with being number two. What do you think of that? I don't mind that. You know, I mean as somebody that's been there when you're there and you've you've experienced Whatever the conversation attached to it is it's not the same level of important, right? Like it's it's not important. I was joking about earlier about the idea of number one call sheet But it's not that important to me. I don't I don't give a fuck. I don't care about top billing I don't need my name to be first I don't need my name to be the biggest when they first put the movie or the TV show out.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Like if that's more important to you, I'm like, all right, let him get it. So when you and Narak do a movie, who's number one on the call sheet? I let him get it. But DJ's an ass. Damn. Yeah, he's an ass.
Starting point is 01:01:38 You let him get it? No, I'm joking. Yeah. No, DJ, by the way, he trumps me every time. What do you mean? It's not even a conversation. I don't even bring it up. No, you're way, he trumps me every time. What do you mean? It's not even a conversation. I don't even bring it up.
Starting point is 01:01:46 No, you're number one on this one. What is it? Because the box office number is like, how do they? I think he deserves to be number one when we do the project. He's a international superstar. Not to say that I don't have international success, but I don't think that we're equal in that regard. I think that his movies have
Starting point is 01:02:05 performed and done crazy business internationally and when we do projects that we want to appeal to the world, you should be first. I'm coming in and I'm on that train with you. I'm adding value to it but I'm not bumped by you being first. We put an amazing cast together to help us get those audiences when we do. But don't I don't feel any type way about that I think he deserves it and he should have it Congratulations to man you got is announced that a heartbeat isn't working with the faces. Yes heartbeat to be the official cultural curator to provide entertainment and live experiences For fans in the Indianapolis. Yes, first of all, what does that look like? It's a opportunity for our company.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Our company is a creative engine for any resource that allows us to be. We are a business, so our business thrives when we can implement ourselves in places to create or elevate a brand, a company, an entity, an activation, whether it be live entertainment, storytelling, et cetera. Indiana, with the Pacers and the Fever, have an attraction coming. I think they have an All-Star coming up, but it's more about, they're like, look, we're looking for ways to expand
Starting point is 01:03:18 and elevate what we've done. They spent a lot of money on a new facility. They have a team that's thriving, a younger team. The fever are thriving with star power, et cetera. So they're like, how do we elevate? How can we better tell our story? And I'm like, that's what we do. I'm looking to be a better partner for the NBA.
Starting point is 01:03:37 How do we better tell stories for your brand? How do we better promote and market you? How can we amplify or activate differently? Like these are words in the business that companies desperately wanna hear from potential partners. Will Heartbeat call Mike Epps? To do, absolutely. I told Mike that when he was here.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I said, knowing him, he's gonna call you to do something. Absolutely. I mean, me and Mike's relationship now is- He said y'all good. We're 10 times better. It took a long time to get to where we are now, but I'm happy at the the role of like dumb because it got us to a place of real grown man And we're not we're not doing the dumb like tweets no more like Mike call me
Starting point is 01:04:16 I'm calling you and we we talk so you know when I did Mike was the first one we got on the phone we had a conversation and Me and Mike are are very much on the same same page and I think you know a lot of the disconnect was from assumption that's the realization that came about but I have no ill will no beef towards anybody damn sure not Mike and you know right now the priority between me and Mike are figuring out the thing that we're gonna do together and you know I told Mike like it's a it's a real thing like we haven't done it because of this disconnect in our relationship we've never been on screen together we did
Starting point is 01:04:52 real husbands together in the beginning Mike did an episode and that's the only time we've ever joust it on camera and I was like at this point in our career like we're we're not nobody but ourselves so you know how do we make it work and he's like yeah Kev like how do we make it work and it's a it's a mutual understanding and I think now having that as a priority his fans would be happy my fans I think would be happy and I think it'd be dope for the culture when we do it. Yeah where is that version of Harlem Nights for this era? It's hard to happen because the idea of it being just one is what people can't let go of. What you mean?
Starting point is 01:05:28 Like, it doesn't have to be just one star. But Hollow Knight wasn't just one star. It was so many. But that's why it worked. That's why it worked. Richard didn't give a f*** about Eddie. Eddie didn't give a f*** about Richard. They're the two biggest f*** comedians.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Minus the bullsh***, the only person that was missing that should have been in that. Cosby in some degree Right a showing of him, but they have red Fox Robin Harris like if you go and you look at the names Delores like you you look at the names and the people in Harlem nights You looked at a conglomerate cast of hard-hitting comics of color We don't have that today and even when it comes to like the younger comics, man, it's been a few of like DC Young Fly has countless scripts that he has and he's trying to get all of us like in this
Starting point is 01:06:13 generation but egos and what's she gonna be getting and who's gonna be the main character? Oh, I ain't working with her. You know what I mean? So the problem with the younger generation of generation of comics man I made money so fast Good money that little money. They made money so fast Definitely idea of doing that for that. I'm over here getting it's like the idea Come here now. I mean, that's just just Made money still making money right like just understands that road money that road money is a different type of money these comics or new comics and fool's return come I'm making real money so until you get to a point where you
Starting point is 01:06:53 understand the money isn't going to drive your next stage of success if your next stage of success or want for success is attached to IP projects whatever you cannot do it by yourself you gotta tap in. That's what people are afraid to do and they're afraid to do it especially in our culture because we feel like there can only be one. And that younger mindset in this business today is a cash driven mind. The money will come.
Starting point is 01:07:20 I'm telling you the money will come. The ideas don't. The relationships and the partnerships don't relationships and partnerships don't that's the difference I mean a little kev I'm excited about it adult animation BT plus once again shouts out the BT shouts out to my amazing team and heartbeat man this is a piece of IP that I worked on for a long time and to have it finally come to light is dope as It's funny. It's raw. It's edgy. It's a true testament to my mom and dad who aren't here So I'm P to the hearts upstairs and maybe down so, you know my dad they say he could be
Starting point is 01:08:01 Shouts out toops wherever you are. Yeah, I don't know what side. You don't want to assume. I don't want to assume. If God ever closed the door, my dad might have been on the outside. But it's a testament to them. So I can't wait for you guys to enjoy it. BET+, watch it, lock it in. Number one on the call sheet.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Shout out to Fox, lock it in. And you're at Radio City Music Hall all weekend. That's right, tonight, Friday and Sunday. That's it. I'm done. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Kevin Hart y'all. Morning everybody We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren Okay, so the awaited Tory Lane's album from behind bars is here. It's called Peterson is 20 records. And again, this is all music that he recorded while locked up. Now, the album talks about a lot over the 20 records. So he talks about, you know, girls not holding him down, friends not holding him down, financial issues while still having to pay bills, pay lawyer fees, all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:09:08 That's prison. Right. Max B is on one of the intros talking about, yo, I'm probably gonna make it home before you, but if I make it home first, don't worry, I got you, I'm gonna hold you down. But he does get into, and I didn't think this was smart, but we're talking about it, the Meg Thee Stallion things a few times while on while in on this album So he has a song called a verdict. I'll get the full name, but it's verdict is in the title the song Yeah, so Sean Holly was an attorney, right? Yeah, Sean Holly's is a very famous woman attorney out of LA So what happened was a while back Tory Lane's have filed a complaint with the ethics committee
Starting point is 01:09:41 Basically saying that his attorney who was his attorney and decided not to work with him anymore. Sean Holly had failed to let him know that she had a relationship with the other side with Jay-Z, Rock Nation, whatever. The reason that they came about, Tory alleged that because of the show reasonable doubt, which is loosely based on Sean Holly's life, Sean Holly's life. She works on the show as well. There are a few Meg Thee Stallion song. Yeah, Meg Thee Stallion song and you know, just different songs and episode titles that are in relation to Roc Nation. He's basically saying like she has this whole relationship with Jay-Z behind the scenes that she never disclosed to him and he paid her to be his attorney. And he feels like she was basically setting him up. That's what she was alleging. Now, at the time when that came out, Sean Holly did release a statement and she
Starting point is 01:10:22 said to me that she has never had business ties with Roc Nation. Roc Nation has nothing to do with the show Reasonable Doubt. She does co-produce it. And she said that actually Tory Lanez had made these claims over a year ago to the state bar, which then rejected them and promptly closed the matter. But obviously Tory still in his feels about that and mentions it there and also directly you got he directly mentions Megan. Now the inconclusive thing that he talks about, which is when there were these reports that really released that Torrey Lane's DNA was not found on the gun that shot Megan Stallion. Now inconclusive means that there wasn't enough evidence to say his DNA was on it, but there wasn't enough to exclude him from that
Starting point is 01:11:00 as well too. So it was like kind of up in a limbo. However, his DNA wasn't found on the magazine, which I don't think that his attorneys leaned in deep enough to, but hey, we're here now. So that's what he's referring to in that record. But then he also drops another record called My Shayla, talking about being taken away from his kid. Now listen, I said earlier that I don't think it was smart for him to put certain things on this album.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Specifically talking about the Meg Thee Stallion stuff, this mention of the restraining order, that restraining order that Meg Thee Stallion was granted not too long ago, actually, we reported on it up here. It makes it where Tory is forbidden from harassing, intimidating, threatening or disturbing the peace of Meg Thee Stallion by any means, by phone or electronically. Now Tory's attorneys did argue that that was against his right to free speech, but clearly the judge disagreed. The reason why I said I don't think that is smart is because anybody can
Starting point is 01:11:54 argue that this is going to disturb her peace because now the conversation we're having is about did Meg tell the truth or did she not? Did Tori shoot Meg or did he not? Like that's been the whole argument, you know, this whole time. So I didn't think it was smart, but it's there but outside of these two records The project is amazing Tory does great music all the time. He's flowing flowing. Yep He also talks about when he comes back out, you know what he's gonna do He does make mention somebody else he wants free on back outside. Let's take a listen to him on Diddy
Starting point is 01:12:21 Yeah, I don't know what that was about but that other song you play was called verdicts It was called verdicts and lawyer fees is already a verdict day in the lawyer fee into interlude because it goes into a song called lawyer fees Here's my thing with people right? Why do they wait until after the fact to start talking like take to stand? Like I don't care what you say in interviews after the fact I don't care about what you say in your records after the fact when you fighting for your freedom Take your ass on the stand and say whatever you need to say then. Well, I don't know if he had that opportunity because a lot of times-
Starting point is 01:12:48 As he did, he opted not to take the stand. But the reason I say that is a lot of times your attorney tells you you shouldn't. No, he opted not to take the stand. Well, I mean, so what was reported was that he chose not to testify because his lawyers advised him not to, but I don't know. And there are also reports that he regretted doing that. Exactly, because you're going to go after the fact you in every interview telling people what happened, after the fact you all in the records telling people what happened, why wouldn't you take the stand?
Starting point is 01:13:11 Yeah, but when you're in court of law and you're a lawyer and you pay for a lawyer that does this for a living and they tell you you shouldn't take the stand and you don't take the stand and you lose it and you say damn I should have took the stand these are the things I should have said. Happens all the time because you listen to your attorney. If you have an accountant, you listen to your accountant. If you have somebody that's a financial advisor because you listen to your attorney if you have a count you listen to your accountant if You have somebody that's a financial advisor you listen to that advisor because you're paying them for their minds for the things that they do For their education. Yeah, they actually so I think you know cuz he had switched legal teams a couple times throughout this trial
Starting point is 01:13:35 At one point when he got a you know, he changed legal teams He actually tried to file something basically saying that he was kind of like the words are impermissibly chilled into not taking the stand. So I think he was trying to get his shot back. I don't know, but I don't know, shot back, that's a wrong term to use in this. What would his punishment be for, keep saying Megan, although she has a restraining order, what is the punishment for that?
Starting point is 01:13:58 There can be several charges. It just depends on what she claims is happening to her. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know the exact charge that they would try to lean into, but it's just the possibility of it. I wouldn't even play with that if I'm fighting. Tori is still fighting to come home. Hey man, you can't shut niggas up. It's impossible. Okay. The white man been trying for years and hasn't happened yet. All right. Okay. I'm gonna tell you something else. I can't
Starting point is 01:14:21 tell you how much I don't care. I am so tired of hearing about this story Oh my god Ten years, I understand Because he's still dealing with it, you know Megan's gonna be traumatized by forever, but I'm just saying me personally I don't care. All right. God bless them all. Okay. Well, I mean phenomenal project though Yeah, definitely was a good project. You should listen though. The music heard a couple of joints though I mean Tori's always been dope. He's been an amazing artist, rapper, and singer. So we'll see what happens from there.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Good luck with your Tory. He was trying to call in, I know, a couple days ago. And we've actually been talking about this for five years. Five years? Wow. Here. Y'all are some crazy. You know what, man?

Who you giving your doggy to man for two young niggas Donis Robinson and Jacobi Russell need to come to the front of the congregation

All right, we'll get you that Nexus at the Breakfast Club come on. Wake up, you're locked into the Breakfast Club. You're trying to be a fake ass Charlamagne. Some donkey today just saw themselves. Haven't watched you Charlamagne, what's ready for you? I've been watching you Charlamagne. I'm a donkey. I never heard of donkey the other day, what is it?
Starting point is 01:15:59 I'm a donkey. Say it again Charlamagne. I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. I'll show you how to have a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne says is true. Donkey of the Day for Friday, March 7th, goes to 24-year-old Adonis Robinson and 21-year-old Jacoby Russell.
Starting point is 01:16:16 I really hate to do this story on a Friday, but if not now, when those two YNs are the suspects in custody, wanted for the Forest Hill murders of a 30-year-old man named Ronnie Sibley and his five-year-old daughter, Ramani Sibley. Well, one of them is in custody. I think Adonis is in custody. I don't know if both of them are, but let's go to Fox 4 News for the report, please. Two capital murder suspects are now identified and subjects of a manhunt. They're scared. They're cowards, they're hiding. They are 24-year-old Adonis Robinson and 21-year-old Jacobi Russell, both of Fort Worth. Investigators say the two are the gunmen captured by surveillance cameras at a car wash
Starting point is 01:16:58 Monday during the ambush and double murder of music rap artist Ronnie Sibley and his five year old daughter Armani. We have public enemy number one, Adonis Robinson, who is also a registered sex offender. Public enemy number two, Jacoby Russell, who's on the run. Yes, Adonis Robinson is in custody. Jacoby Russell is on the run. At this point, I don't even know what can be said. What can I say on this radio this morning that has never been said before? And the answer is absolutely nothing.
Starting point is 01:17:29 What do I tell y'all all the time? If you're paying attention to your Uncle Sharla, I tell you all the time that every day of our lives, all we are trying to do is avoid crazy. The crazy that exists within us, okay, right here. All right, we try to avoid that. Okay, that's why I wake up and I prayed and I meditate Then I read my daily affirmations
Starting point is 01:17:47 I set my intentions for the day and I do my best to contain the crazy that exists in this head of mine Okay, that's why I thank God for therapy and all the mindfulness mechanisms I use on a daily weekly basis to avoid crazy, but see that's the crazy you can somewhat contain The crazy of other people is completely out of your control there is nothing that brother Ronnie could have done to prevent whatever was going on in the minds of Adonis Robinson and Jacobi Russell that's the type of crazy that we hope to avoid every day but sometimes that crazy finds you and that's what happened in this situation police say a motive for the killing is unclear but does a motive even matter? There is not a motive you could tell me that would justify this
Starting point is 01:18:28 man and his five-year-old daughter being shot and killed. There is nothing that would even make sense for me okay. I can hear both of these brothers now saying I didn't know his daughter was in the car or maybe they knew his daughter was in the car and didn't care. Either way it don't matter. She's a five-year-old girl who was just spending some time with her father. In fact, family spokesperson Bishop Rodney McIntosh said the five-year-old girl was just, just dropped off to her father at the car wash
Starting point is 01:18:56 minutes before the deadly gunfire. I don't have anything for y'all this morning. I was born in 1978, and there's nothing I can say on this radio today That hasn't already been said a million times in my 46 years of existence Okay It's a cycle of violence that I don't know where it began and I don't know when or if it's ever going to end Okay, police have not said how the suspects knew Ronnie what they said the music industry is part of the investigation
Starting point is 01:19:22 The music industry really the? The music industry guns? I have to tell you though, the music industry doesn't kill people, okay? And guns don't kill people, okay? People in the music industry kill people and people with guns kill people. The moral of the story is I understand all the external factors that push people to do certain things but what about the internal? Okay at certain times I I don't wanna hear about anything else. I wanna look at young men like Adonis and Jacoby
Starting point is 01:19:50 and say, hey, this is your fault. Okay, destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice. And you too made a very, very, very poor choice that led to a 30-year-old man and his five-year-old daughter getting killed. Now Adonis is in custody, Jacoby as of right now from what I'm seeing is still on the run.
Starting point is 01:20:08 But where you going Jacoby Russell? Okay, stop prolonging the inevitable. You're going to prison forever. And that prison sentence you're gonna get was earned. And that's why the judge gonna give it to you. The world is just an exhausting place. Okay, and we as a people got so much to deal with. But you know one thing I wish we didn't have to fear?
Starting point is 01:20:25 Each other. Okay, there is a lot of opposition. We as men, black men have to deal with on a daily basis. And I wish I could scratch each other off that list. I'm not your op, I don't want you to be mine either. Can you imagine if we lived in a world that no matter what else was going on, no matter what other issues we had to deal with
Starting point is 01:20:45 We didn't have to worry about each other Wouldn't that be nice? There is three black men gone because of this situation and one young princess who won't get the opportunity to grow into a queen So many families ruined forever so much trauma that's gonna take generations to hell because of the poor choices of two young niggas. That's all I got because the reality is I feel like I'm wasting my breath. Please let Remy Ma give Adonis Robinson and Jacoby Russell the biggest hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Hee-haw, Hee-haw, you stupid mother f***er, are you dumb? So stupid. So sad. Did y'all see the video of his daughter's friend from school?

That's her business. That's all you got? I'm just looking. What is that, Starlet? I don't know, it's a video. Oh, it's a music video? It's a rapper's music video. She's the maker of the music video. She handled that poll very well. Well, they should be paying the police officers more and she wouldn't have to do things like that, you know in her off time No, pay the police officers more allegedly her salary is a hundred and forty four thousand dollars That's in the paper too. And we'll discuss when we come back eight hundred five eight five like a rich freak Breakfast club It's topic time
Starting point is 01:28:37 Call eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one to join it to the discussion with the breakfast club Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, we're talking about a New York Police Department officer. Her name is, let me find out her name, let me do it right. Her name is Melissa Mercado. She's a seven year veteran of the NYPD. She does the Special Victims Unit. Now people are upset with her because she's in a video. I guess the artist's name, I think it's Esquire SQ, I don't know his name, but she's in this guy's music video and she's wearing a thong, she's dancing, she's gyrating, she's
Starting point is 01:29:05 humping, she's doing all that in the video, right? The video is called, it's Esquire's doing that music video. That's right. And people are mad because she's a NYPD. Now let me just say this, she's not wearing any NYPD paraphernalia, no hat, no sergeant, you don't even know she's a police officer at all in the video, right? She's not doing it on a clock, so she's not like on the job doing it. She's something that she's probably doing after hours.
Starting point is 01:29:29 And people are mad and saying that she shouldn't be doing it. What are your thoughts, 800-585-1051? What you think? I think that I get the backlash. Like she shouldn't have done it. I think it's certain jobs that when you say yes to it, it transcends into your personal life.
Starting point is 01:29:43 Like when I was, it wasn't a police officer, but I know there was a flight attendant who recently got fired, but she was on the plane. She was on the plane wearing the Alaska Airlines uniform. When I worked for Delta, they made it very clear, in uniform or out of uniform, your conduct and what you do can potentially inflect, like ruin or mess up your job because we have a certain standard that we upkeep. Even when I was flying just as a regular passenger on a flight that I am not working, if I was to get crazy, do anything insane, they would come to me.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Because if you think about it, she's wearing she's wearing clothes. Well, not clothes, but she's wearing a thumb. Yes, she's wearing a bra. Yes, she is dancing and twerking. She's not naked. She's not doing anything illegal. And this is not on the clock. This is after hours.
Starting point is 01:30:26 She should be able to do what she wants. I'm with all the BS. Your body look good. Show it. Do your thing. But as a police officer, it's certain roles that you decide to take. Like, I wouldn't want to see a kindergarten teacher doing that either.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Like, there's certain things that, like, you just know what you're signing for. How fine is the kindergarten teacher? But kindergarten teachers... You said, how fine? Kindergarten teachers are dealing with kids, though. It's still... She's dealing with... How fine is the kindergarten teacher? You said how fine? How fine is she? Kindergarten teachers are dealing with kids though. It's still, she's dealing with, like you just regard police officers in a certain way, yes or no?
Starting point is 01:30:52 Like you look at them in a certain way. No, they're people. They are people with jobs. Oh, that's because your dad's a police officer. Any normal person. Let's see what the caller say because I'm with all of it. I'm, look, I am the biggest, if I got it I'm gonna show it if I feel like it. Out of all the officers out there, what officer would you want to arrest you? Would you want her to arrest you? Yeah, cause she gonna take me where the exact. See, exactly.
Starting point is 01:31:10 Show me what you got. Where the money reside, period. I mean, being in a music video is not a crime. Like, if she had on, you know, the police uniform in the video, and she stripped, you know, that off and was dancing, then I could probably see it being a problem. But I mean, as far as I know, police officers are allowed to have other forms of employment
Starting point is 01:31:28 Right and a lot of them do have other forms of employment Usually you just have to tell the department what you're doing. So yeah So it's not a crime being a scripper is not a crime being a scripper is not a crime being a music video is not a crime And as far as I know I could be wrong I don't know but there isn't a moral clause for police officers Is it I don't I don't know and I'm not one of these people like Lauren who looked down on scribbles So, you know, I know I know strippers. I know women who were stripping and still going to college You know, I don't look down on strippers
Starting point is 01:31:54 I actually love strippers and I love giving them my money But I do feel like I can understand why her job would look and say hey one does not go with me I don't even know if her job is saying that the people are saying Yeah, but why do we say one doesn't go with the other scripting is a job? The lie that these women go to script and they make money so she picked up another job, but it's not even script And she seems like a good-looking woman from what I could see, you know Hello Orlando what's your thought, JoJo?
Starting point is 01:32:27 What was that? You got a cold? Do I got a cold? Nah. Oh, OK. What's your thoughts, JoJo? I think no one should be mad. I don't know if you've been to a strip club, but some things,
Starting point is 01:32:39 they have hella strength to be twerking on the pole, twerking on the ceiling, all that shit. So I feel like they should be excited or happy about it because that means Homegirl got the endurance to take down any suspect that she investigating. That's a point. That's a fact. I'm not mad at that.
Starting point is 01:32:54 I'm with you. Thank you, Jojo. Hello, who's this? This Tyson in Houston. Tyson, good morning. What's your thoughts, Tyson? Well, my thought is, is I wonder how many of these people voted for Trump because if you have no problem voting for a president that committed a felony, why are
Starting point is 01:33:08 we so concerned about a police officer that's doing this on their own time? Makes no sense. You're making points. When points are made, points are made. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Raven. Hi, Lorvin.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Hey, Raven. What's up? What's up, Raven? What are you calling her from? From Queens, New York. All right, Raven, talk to us. What's up? What up, Raven? Where you calling from? From Queens, New York.
Starting point is 01:33:26 All right, Raven. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? So, as far as NYPD firing her, I don't think that's going to happen. For proven is that an all-time law. However, this is wild for putting her career and pension at risk for a video that's getting no spanked. But is what she did illegal?
Starting point is 01:33:43 I mean, you saying she put her career and pension at risk, but where does it say she can't do music videos on the side? Correct. Me personally, I don't feel like what she did is illegal, but NYPD is NYPD. They have, they, their whole thing is courtesy, respect, professionalism, whether you're on the clock or off the clock.
Starting point is 01:34:01 That was a failure to meet the requirement of professionalism. Oh see, I don't know, I don't know. You might be right. Lauren send me the video again so I can see how, maybe I'm looking at this wrong. You're stupid. This is about to get open. Now Raven, what about if she's, cause she could be acting in the video, right? She could be acting like a stripper.
Starting point is 01:34:17 Would that be different? I do, and now that's true. And that could be different. But I'm with Lauren on this one. This is about the past life. You're stupid. And I'm not mad at it. She's a she look real good to the past life Why can't you have a current life? I'm not she looks great I need to keep observing the video to make sure I'm making the right baby
Starting point is 01:34:41 It's this one point in the video where she look up and then everything behind her is doing what I need to do and she don't even know what's happening maybe she does and that's how that's a part of the ploy to drill you a sinned okay you in love I'm a five eight five one oh five one if you're just joining us we're talking about our NYPD detective she's in a special units department people are mad at her why she did this music video in the show the cover and we don't know right we don't even know what if she under cover she video in the music video. What if she undercover and we don't know? Right. We don't even know. What if she undercover? She's in this music video.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Maybe the girl did that. She's the stripper in the music video. She's busting it open. And people are mad at her. So we're asking, should they be mad? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:35:16 What? Call, call, call, call. Tell her. Tell her. Made it. Just for some camera safety. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's here, if you're just joining us. We're taking your calls, 800-585-1051. We're talking about this detective. Her name is Melissa Mercado. She's a seven-year veteran of the NYPD. She works for the Special Victims Unit. People are upset about her because she's doing this video which, you know, WorldStar put out yesterday. And she's, I
Starting point is 01:35:58 think he's a rapper, I think his name is Esquire. She's a stripper in the video. So she's busting it open, she's dancing, she's shaking, she's wearing a thong, she has a bra on, but she has no NYPD paraphernalia. She's not on the clock, and you wouldn't even know she was a cop unless probably one of her coworkers told on her. So we're asking is this foul, is it wrong?
Starting point is 01:36:18 Being in a music video is not a crime. I'm watching it right now just for journalistic purposes. And you know, she's not doing anything wrong. She's in a music video and to me this is just a side job. It's not an illegal side job. Correct. She's not hurting nobody. She's not degrading the badge in any way.
Starting point is 01:36:32 She don't even have on a uniform. I wouldn't even know she was a cop if y'all didn't tell me. I would never think she was a cop. Mellow! Yeah, you know the vibes of the word, Envy. Mellow, sometimes you gotta break it down the Mellow way. Tell us Mellow, talk to us.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Yo, I ain't so boom. Tell us Melo talk to us. Yo So I'm not gonna hold you I'm on that detective side right now Because why are you showing all your goods and you feel me doing it? You feel me doing what you're doing on that camera knowing that you're supposed to be protected and serving not to be protecting a servant booty She's not here to us. She's serving no melo here not safe. safe mellow she is serving but I don't know she put me out serve yeah she did show serving but hear me out let's play white devils advocate why would y'all even hire her she looks like a video vixen starter kid she got the BBL she got the lipL Cool Bae wig. Nah. First of all. What we doing? Don't do that. I don't like when people do that because I feel like just because of a look you shouldn't
Starting point is 01:37:30 be excluded from. Just because she looks good she shouldn't be able to have a certain type of job. This ain't BBL, Mellow. Mellow, you ain't watched the video. This ain't BBL. That's Rice and Beans, bro. No, no, no. That's Rice and Beans.
Starting point is 01:37:41 I've seen the video. She has the BBL. How you protecting a server with a BBL? You can't even chase me. No, that's Rice and Beans. Mellow, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you, why you the BBL. Why are you how you protecting a servant with a BBL? Right after I can't even take no that's rice and beans mellow. Why are you? Why are you doing not Lauren's wig like that exactly cuz he tried to say my way I'm gonna not go talk to her wig. I'm gonna say it was nothing I just said he has the LL cool big wig and she'd be wearing it like see I'll be wearing her hat
Starting point is 01:38:00 I never said you wake your wigs like that. Okay, I said shorty in the video, dude All right, this woman is not wearing a wig in this video and she don't have a BBL. This is rice and beans She's clearly from the Bronx. Okay Works the Bronx Did you blow it up how did you know all that okay, you look enough hello who's this What's your thoughts? So My thought without talking to other African guy. I don't know what his name is, but it's not Eddie Oh, you said the other African guy. What'd you say? Yeah
Starting point is 01:38:37 Art hold on they be Do themselves as Africans Maybe he's introducing himself as African. No, it was just the way he was trying to spell my name. My name was like E-S-H-A-N-E-Y-E. But anyways. No, it's funny because Brandon is from Ghana and Art is from... Are those from Minneapolis? No, Art African.
Starting point is 01:38:58 I can't remember where Art from in the motherland. They African, yeah, go ahead. Yeah. So I understand, yes, if she wants to do that as a hobby it's understandable but a hundred four thousand dollars in New York is like twenty thousand dollars to y'all yeah but if it's a hobby girl do it but if not they should at least pay her more I just agree with Charlamagne just pay her a little more money maybe she don't have to do that. If you wanna do it, I guess girl, bust it open for the world.
Starting point is 01:39:27 She might enjoy it though too. She might like it. I don't see a problem. If this not in some police handbook that says she's not allowed to do stuff like this, I don't see what the issue is. The NYPD declined to comment there and from what I can tell, there is not a single moral clause for police officers,
Starting point is 01:39:44 but some law enforcement agencies do establish certain codes of ethic that outline moral conduct. Yo stop playing the video yo! I'm looking to see if she has a BBL like Melo said. I think she do. I don't see what she did wrong. She's not committing any crimes. Who says that you can't be a video vixen is a side job?
Starting point is 01:40:01 I don't see the problem. And you know people have to stop this because because they making this out to be a crime and people are stupid and what's gonna happen is somebody gonna try to make a citizen's arrest and they gonna stop and frisk her immediately. Okay? I did not know where you was going with that but I see where you ended up.
Starting point is 01:40:16 What's the moral of the story? I don't know, there is a moral to the story. Moral story is, if this is her side gig, is it in New York, where can we go support? They stupid, all right. It's true. She looks amazing. All right.
Starting point is 01:40:28 I don't agree with it, but she look good. She gonna do it. All right, when we come back, we got past the aux. Nala will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:44:49 It's going to be bi-weekly, which is honestly why I definitely wanted to play the Wu-Tang record because people keep joking at me saying like nobody listens to Boom Bap. Like calling you Boom Bap is an insult. And I just feel like there's still a big culture that loves Boom Bap and just rap in general. So if you guys are fans of that, make sure y'all pull up. That's why I like the Doche. I hate that they call it the boom bap. This is rap.
Starting point is 01:45:10 Yeah, why is that? Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's classic New York hip hop. Nah, Rapsody, Rapsody, Rapsody. People call it boom bap. No, but it's a classic New York hip hop sound. That's not just overall rap. Because when I was growing up in the 90s, I was listening to that,
Starting point is 01:45:25 but OutKast sounded totally different than that. OutKast was- But it's all rap music though. This is true, but it's just not, it shouldn't be an insult. No, right. Don't think, oh you're a boom bap lover, like it's an insult.

That's right. Because I've watched so many people look up and think that the sky is the limit, but not realize it's a glass ceiling
Starting point is 01:48:07 because they keep themselves in a particular box.
