Good morning. How are you feeling? Jess, what's up? I feel good. Yo, yesterday was the last portion of my audio book that I had to do. It was dope. It took you two weeks. Yo, I was horse last week.

I booked three days in a row last week, and I didn't realize that by the third day, I would be horse or whatever. So I had to come and make that day up that I didn't finish last week, this week. And, yo, it was really, really dope. I ain't going to lie. Voice acting is very different. That's what it is.

Audio book is different. But the engineer, the producer, she popped up on me. He's in Atlanta, but she popped up on me. Nicole? Yes, Nicole. Yes. Nicole. Yes. Nicole Shelton.

Who's happening? I love her so much. I didn't realize, like, I worked with her. So when she came, I didn't know she was coming, and she surprised me at the studio. And shout out to Rubin. He's the engineer who owns the studio that I did my audio book at. Yo, it might have to go back. You know that, though.

No, no. You know, after they edit, I might have to do some hot lines or, you know, pick-up lines and stuff like that. But that's cool. Yo, I didn't realize that mind-bottling was not mind-boggling. It's mind-boggling. Yeah. This is ridiculous. Shut, red, shut up.

Mind boggling. Yes, who didn't know that? I mean, what's the boggle? Why would it mind be bottled? That's what she's at. But that's the thing. I just figured like, you know, it's so mind-bottling. A bottle is, you know, with something that's inside of it.

Boggling. Yeah, what's a boggling? Okay, okay. Like, boggle, shaking up. All right. Oh, boggle, that's what that means? Yeah, your mind is shaking up. Like, oh, this is mine's shaking my brain.

Oh, okay. That's cause you would consider that common sense if I've never used it like that. I've just heard of her whole life. Okay, all right. You know what? I've never heard. Mind bottling. Never heard. Well, you learn something new every day. I did not realize that.

She was making fun of me all day for it, but yeah. Well, your book comes out. What's the day? Tell everybody to date. April 28th. It's available for pre-order right now. It's called Till Death Do We Parent? It's a co-parenting memoir.

And everybody needs it. So everybody should get it. Yes. And a salute to Mimi. Mimi's here from, you know, she's from Alaska. She does my page news, Mimi, Mimi Brown. And I came in here this morning, like, Mimi, I need help. So yesterday was my first lesson of skiing.

You have to stop, stereotyping people. What? Just because she's from Alaska, what makes you think she know about skiing? That's all they did. You're not a ski? See? What else they got to do? You just assumed that. People in Colorado ski, too. You know that, right? She's from Alaska. There's not much to do but ski. But anyway, so I had my first lesson, right? Because I told you guys, my son snowboards, and I felt bad a week ago when I took him to the slopes

and all his friends and parents went and I was just stuck there looking stupid. So I said, I'm going to learn. And oh my gosh, I didn't know how to stop. But you've got to turn your leg. That didn't work. No, turn your legs. They call it pizza, right? I did the pizza. did not work. For me, stopping yesterday was falling. Why did they call it pizza? That's so amateur. What the hell was you at? Epstein Island? Why the hell was they call it

pizza? I was going to go right past that, but it takes y'all amazing right now. Isn't it called pizza? It is called pizza. See, I know a little... I don't know. I didn't ask. I need to change that. What y'all are drinking pizza and grape soda, too? You just need to look around at the world. It looks like a triangle or something. That's what they call the

piece. Call it a triangle. Call it a pyramid. They called it that before Epstein. They called it that before Epstein. Okay, sir. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It seems like it's been cold for a long time. Yeah, but I couldn't figure it out. But I'm going to ask me.

You'll get better, yo. You just need a few more lessons. I don't know my body could take better as many times as I fell yesterday. I don't think my body could take better. Right? How about that? But let's get the show cracking. Damani Harris will be joining us.

You know, T.I. Son, DeMani. Yes. Yeah, he got a new project I called Foreverlasting tape. That's right. Yes. We're going to be kicking it with him. And we got front-page news. What we started the show off with?

Man, I want to start this show with Ari Linux, man. I've been listening to Jail Ari Lennox Vacancy album. She got that record. Soft Girl Era. Oh, my God. Let's play Soft Girl Era one time. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Salari.

Sholomey and the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, everyone. How y'all doing this morning? Peace, Mimi, Brian. Good.

Good morning. So we start this morning on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers just took their first major vote on the war with Iran. So Senate Republicans, they voted down a measure that would have forced President Trump to get approval from Congress before launching any additional attacks on Iran. The proposal called a war powers resolution was meant to reassert Congress's authority over decisions about war, but the measure it failed 53 to 47, mostly along party lines.

So that means for now President Trump can continue his military campaign without any new authorization from Congress. The vote comes as a conflict in the Middle East continues to spread and question. are growing about how long this could last and what the end goal really is. And many people are still talking and asking the bigger question of why. And here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio explaining the administration's reasoning. Let's listen. Let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.

They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism them that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things. And this is the weakest they've ever been. Now is the time to go after them. The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things so that they can never have a nuclear weapon.

That's why the president made this decision. Okay, well, there you have it. That's the reason why he says the president made that decision. And now the attention, it will shift to the House today where lawmakers are expected to vote on a similar measure today. Meanwhile, about one million Americans are currently in the Middle East, and many say they are struggling to get clear answers on how to get out as the war intensifies. Some Americans, they are stranded in the region. They say information has been limited and options are unclear, leaving them frustrated and scrambling to find flights on their own.

Now, the State Department says they've already chartered at least one flight, and they have already evacuated Americans, and they say more are coming in the days ahead. But critics point out that other countries, they have already evacuated some of their citizens. And we've got one chartered plane and we don't know when the next plane is coming. In a press briefing yesterday, the White House was asked why there was not a plan to evacuate Americans before that first strike happened. Let's listen to what press secretary of Caroline Levitt had to say. There have been plans in place in that the State Department has been very clear to the American people traveling within this region, not to travel to these regions. we gave notices to leave immediately the countries where these Americans were within. We actually have a number.

We actually have identified the number of people in the region who have requested help. We are in direct contact and engagement with them. And you have to keep in mind there's a few thousand people who have requested assistance to come home in comparison to the millions who we understand are in the region. So we will help every single American who wants to come home if they're making that request of the State Department. Is that a lot? because they can't tell people to leave because, I mean, you would tell

people people would know that they were about the bomb if they told people to leave, right? I'm so glad you asked that question. Because there's a young lady named Chanel. Jadale went to Dubai to celebrate her 30th birthday. The war started on February 28th. Her flight was March 1st, right? So it was at 6.30 in the morning.

She could not leave earlier. She tried. And so let's listen to what she had to say about how, you know, she had her time trying to get out. So we haven't registered with the step program for quite some time now. I actually reached out to that 202 number,

and I was told that there wouldn't be any assistance. They told me just to take shelter. So I feel like we're getting two different messages from what's being portrayed and what's actually being said to the citizens. So, yeah, two different messages from what people are hearing. Now, I did call that 202 number myself because I wanted to see exactly what it says.

It has been updated, so it's no longer saying, you know, we can't help you take shelter or, you know, find your own, your own service or way out. But what it is saying is you can hold to speak to a representative. But the whole time when I was on was a long time, I ended up hanging up. They are letting some people out, though, I saw a political report that Alex, how you pronounce Alex? I think Bruceovich, the one that was going at it with Cardi B. the other day, he chartered a private jet. A private jet?

Yeah, and flew out of cutter. Yeah, if you have private jet money. Yeah, if you have private jet money. But no, they weren't letting people fly out with anything at one point. And they said he did it with help from officials in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and America. Then they said he stopped somewhere and picked up a Fox News host. And it flew back to America. Yeah, I mean, if you could afford a private jet, I'm sure, you're money, money are talked.

No, that was the thing. They weren't letting nobody out. You said it wasn't even. But now they are. Well, now they are. They did charter their own jet. You know, we did pick up a few people, but people are still saying that they're having fun. Chanel that just turned 30 that can't afford a problem.

She's not about to be picked up. She's picked up by nobody. No, she's stuck, which is sad, because there are a lot of people that went to Dubai that went to these places for a vacation to celebrate a birthday, a wedding, and then they're just stuck, and they just issue out of luck, which is what you said. Yeah, so just I want to give the website out if you are abroad, and they're saying the best way is to register, which is step.

Dotstate.gov. That's the best place to go to get on their radar to let them know that you need a flight, and they said that they are figuring out more flights to be able to get folks out. Yeah, I couldn't imagine because I went to Dubai on a vacation. I brought my whole family, my mother-in-law, everybody was there,

and just imagine being stuck and trying to bring not just one person back on a flight. It was eight of us. Eight of us to get. And then a lot of the airspace is closed, too. That was the problem. So even if you are getting a private jet, which I think what you just said

probably just started happening, the price is probably through the freaking roof. Oh, my goodness. And some people said they're not even trying to make it back to America anymore. They're just trying to get out of that area. Yeah, I can imagine. So there's that.

And really, Quickly, there's a new development in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and a bipartisan vote, the Oversight Committee. They voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, ordering her to sit for a closed-door deposition on how the Justice Department handled the release of those documents. Lawmakers say they have serious questions about transparency. We know that they release three million pages, but there are more pages that still need to be released and they want to ask her about it. And there's one more other issue that just came out yesterday that some documents are suddenly missing. So according to a report more than 47,000 files, roughly about 65,000 pages that were once available online, now say page not found. The Justice Department says those documents were temporarily removed and for redactions, not deleted, and they will come back up at some time.

But either way, the Justice Department wants to speak to Pam Bondi about that. No date has been said yet. All right. All right. All right. That's front page news. Everybody else, get it off your chest. $800-585.15.15.1. If you need the vent, hit us up now.

Get it off your chest. This guy's crazy. 8005-85-105. We got the latest with Lauren. We got the latest with Lauren. We do. Good morning, y'all. Hey, girl.

Stefan Diggs is looking for work now. Damn. And let him go? He's been saying his goodbyes. We're going to talk about it in the latest. Hey, okay. All right, we'll get into that Nexus to Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Hey, we're talking, LL. Cube. Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself. Damn, I'm being myself. That source is most. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Lauren. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that.

Take me through that. Where's you gone? The latest with Narno knows. Take me through that. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coulbe. Talk to me. Lauren Lorona Rosa.

Hello, L.L. Cube. Good morning, y'all. What's up, girl? What's up, Lauren? So, look, yesterday news broke that the Patriots are set to release Stefan Diggs next week. So according to reports, the team alerted Stefan Diggs, that the move would be made official after the start of the new season next week. And you guys know, but for those who don't,

he had a three-year deal with the Patriots. It was a $69 million deal that he got last March. Not guaranteed though Not but that's a number to mention And if So his salary cap was set to rise From $10.5 million to $26.5 million Which was the point of the move

And if he was on the roster by the end next week He would have had an additional 6 million of his contract guaranteed So now he is trying to figure it out And he has posted to his social media Upon all of the reports Thank you, he posted a picture of himself playing And he said thank you in all caps for a hell of a year.

We are family forever. I mean, let the record show. This is just a way bigger story because of his Cardi's B father. A hundred percent. If he wasn't car to be baby daddy, you wouldn't even be reporting this right. I would not.

And he had a decent year last year. 85 receptions over 1,000 yards catching. Four touchdowns. It'll be good. It'll find another time. But like Chalemae said, it's just, that's the NFL. But, okay, so here's the thing.

And I think what you said about him being Cardi B's child's dad and once former boyfriend, we don't know what's happening. has made him almost like a face of this team a bit, right? So what happens next for him? What? People have been paying him way more attention. Stefan Diggs when he played for the bills was like a four-time pro bowler.

We're talking about him with Cardi Beach. So you're going to tell me. Oh, God. I hate talking to women about sports. Tell me. We love them. Dang, we just got you. Like, for real.

Stefan is at upset in the comments. But he's at a great career. He's 33 years old. He had 10 years in the league. He was like a fifth round draft pick. and has, you know, overachieved all expectations, I believe. Like I said, he went to Pro Bowl like four times when he played with the bills. Then he went to Houston and he tore his ACL.

So people didn't know what was going to happen. But then he went to New England and had a pretty decent ball last year. So he's 33. But I'm saying, so you think after this because you're saying he's 33 for those who don't know football because a lot of people discovered. He's going to go to another team. Because he can go on to another team, but do you suggest that he does that? Or do I'm asking you guys.

Yes. He'll get picked up. Somebody will pick him up. He's still playing great ball. Like I said, last year he had over a thousand-year-old catch. and he's still playing great ball. He'll find another team. But definitely people are paying attention to this

on my side of things because of Cardi beater. But the Patriots is one of the best franchises in the NFL. 100%. And he was with the- breakup. This is like it'll be his 15. He played for the Vikings. He played for the Belts.

We're talking about since within like the last year, Shaolin. Dang. That is a rock. Man, broken up four. He got four different girlfriends in NFL. What are you talking about? Please, yes.

I'm glad you specified within the NFL because, you know, there's still. working on some things over there. All right. Well, good luck to him. And I saw his mom was at, Stefan Dix's mom went to Cardi B's tour stop yesterday in Houston. She was dressed up in her school girl theme.

And at that tour stop, the audience got a surprise when Cardi B brought out Meg the Staglia and they went crazy. Let's take a listen to the audience. That's dope. I don't clean. I don't clean. But let me tell you.

That's dope. Yeah, I'm. I can't wait to go to this store. I am excited. I love that. I love that body's doing at different places. She's pulling different people out. She brought out a gorilla.

She brought out Megan. Who else does she bring on? She's brought out. She's brought out. She debuted two new outfits yesterday on the tour as well. So she's changing up the fish. Yeah, they're killing this story. I can't wait until she comes to the trice.

I know what we're vaginal drying is hate hearing. It's probably so triggering for them even now. God. Can't relate. Everybody asked that. Moving on. That was crazy. That was crazy.

Moving on. So yesterday, here on the show, we talked about Mr. Matthew Nose and him not wanting to answer or responding to a comment that was made by journalist about Ms. Tina knows and her contributions to Destiny's child. That went crazy yesterday. The conversation was like, oh, my God, he hates women and he devaluing her. And Mr. Matthew knows has responded in video on his own to everything. Let's take a listen to Matthew knows. Mr. Matthew knows clarifying his comments. I think I calmly what I said, what work did she put in?

It was a question. I didn't know what he meant by that. So I'm saying, what work did she put in? That was a question. I don't know how that became a comment. Well, Tina did way more than just her hair. And if you look at the interview, I said her hair, no, she did the styling, built an image for Destiny's child. When you agree, that's way more than just saying something.

did the hair. Isn't that me giving flowers that she did more than just hair? It's still the question that he's saying, I don't know what he meant by that, the work that she put in. Sounded condescending a little bit. It does. Like, what do you mean? You don't know what he meant by that. Yeah. Well, Mr. Matthew knows is, it's threatening to, he says he's going to explore all legal remedies following this situation. You come on my show to do an interview and then you walk and I can't play the interview. Like what? Well, to be fair, not to be fair, but to just point out Pix 11 didn't drop that piece.

We talked about that yesterday. I went back and I went through the full and I didn't see it in there. And I'm like, why? It was actually removed because allegedly what I was told, Mr. Matthew knows his team asked for that piece to be removed. And then it leaked via page 6. And when he's asked, what does it mean that you're going to be seeking these legal remedies? He's like, I don't want to comment.

So I don't know what his angle will be on that. But I don't know if it's because it was leaked and it should. And it was, you know, told to him that it wouldn't be there. And now we have these negative conversations about his brain. I don't know what it'll be. That's interesting though because most of the time, when you have these conversations about removing things from interviews, there's nothing on paper. It's just a verbal agreement. Like, you know, it's a good faith agreement.

Like, hey, I'll take it out. But we could still put it out if we want to. Yeah, and again, that's just me kind of like trying to figure it out. I even ask a journalist from Pix 11 who we sat down with yesterday, what is, what legally is going to happen and have you guys received a legal letter or anything? And he said he doesn't know and no, they have not received anything at Pix 11. But I also want to play this clip when Mr. Matthew knows is clarifying why he left the interview. Let's take a listen. The interviewer arrived late and you were ready to pretty much, you're ready. You're over it,

essentially. So I should say it took photos afterwards, uh, the whole bit. Uh, as I said, I had someone downstairs waiting. It was a full day of back to back to back meetings. And so I have to get going. But I wasn't there to talk about Tina. I was there to talk about destiny's child. I kind of reimagined you. And somehow we talked 20 minutes of that and two minutes of this conversation. It's taken over what the whole meaning of what the conversation was about. Damn right. I'm first of all, I'm 74 years old.

I reserve the right to walk out of any place I want to. Okay. I don't got to answer these. Goddeme. He's 74. He's 74? Have you known 34 years old? I'm a growing.

You hear me keep making sure I get that Mr. And Mr. Matthew. Yes. We've been in this industry a long time. And we know when the artist. comes to promote an album or promote something that they want to do, we're going to ask them everything under the sun. And we might only spend two minutes on that album, but we're going to ask them whatever we want. And to be fair, if I'm 74 years old and I want to get up and walk out,

kiss my ass, I don't got to give y'all no reason. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. I am ready to go. That's why I left, okay? Well, I'd want to be fair, make sure that we mention that the Destiny Child tribute, tribute that he's doing. He says, all the shows have been sold out. They're headed to more state. You could get tickets on his website, which is listed in his. Instagram, Mr. Matthew knows. And what is it exactly? It's a, so there's a

tribute to Destiny Child. There's a candlelight tribute that is like a thing. Have you ever seen they do like the tributes to different hip-hop artists? It's not dead. I was going to say Candlelight tribute is when somebody dying. No, but it's more like a symphony.

So it's like you take the best of their music. You put it with like violins and a full orchestra and then Mr. Matthew knows it's putting his own spin on it by coming out and telling stories about Destiny's Child. He said the fans love it. It's been sold out. It's like celebrating Destiny's Child. Yes, it's a celebration.

And he breaks down a lot of the things. What happened. well this was the date when Beyonce met this person since he's the dad and the founder and the manager he's, you know. Sounds dark guys. He definitely does. No, he says it's a celebration.

People come, they dance, they have a good time because not all the music is down, you know, down trotted this upbeat. So, yeah, if there's more here, we'll let you guys know because it's the latest and that's what we do. All right, well, that's the latest. Now, when we come back, we got from...

Hold up. What? It's Pap who's birthday. We got something in the Q, fam? You 48. Happy birthday, Pap. Oh, Clarissa says she won't you want you. That'd be a birthday.

Happy born day, Papoose. I played some Pat. First of all, first of all, first of the show, not like you wishing her man a happy birthday. No. How dare you wish her man to have her birthday. Chalice, she said she want to give her man a baby on his birthday. She wished she could anyway. She got some things to do.

What Papoose record you want to hear? The first one. What's that? The first one that came out, the single. Be specific. Come on, yo. Come on. I know we got it in the queue.

What? Play Touch your remix, miss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the second one. we come back. We got front page news. Mimi Brown will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. I give you a second to pull it up. You got it? Not the remix.

Oh, okay. Well, happy morning, Papu. That's the breakfast. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Salarious. Sholomey and the guy, we are the breakfast club. Let's get to some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So we start with Minnesota Governor Tim Walts and Attorney General Keith Keith Ellison. They were both on Capitol Hill yesterday and they face a really tough round of

questioning by Republican lawmakers. So the hearing, it focused on one of the largest fraud scandals in the state's history in Minnesota. It involves that nonprofit feeding our future. Federal prosecutors say the group helped carry out a $250 million scheme that stole money meant to feed children during the pandemic. Now, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, they accuse Waltz and Ellison of ignoring warning signs and covering up fraud. Some lawmakers, they went even further, suggesting the two leaders may have had something to do with it and misled the public. Let's listen. We are left with two questions.

One, what did Governor Walls and Keith Ellison know about the fraud? And two, when did they actually know it? I would suggest that if they do not give direct and truthful answers to both these questions at this hearing, then they both need to be put under oath in a deposition. This is a serious thing, Mr. Attorney General. If these concerns are proven to be true, you should be disbarred and you should go to jail. Yeah. Well, both Waltz and Ellison, they are pushing back.

Walt, he acknowledged that the fraud happened while he was governor, but says state officials, they've been working with federal investigators to uncover the fraud. And meanwhile, Democrats, though, they argue that the administration used that fraud investigation to flood the streets of Minnesota with federal agents. Let's listen to that. And we should remember that the Trump administration tried to use Operation Metro Surge as leverage to seize Minnesota's voter rolls. The Trump administration was never serious about addressing fraud in Minnesota.

Instead, they've been interested in election conspiracy theories, and terrorizing kids. And they've accused the governor and attorney general of covering up fraud only to investigate them and turn up actually no evidence. What they're trying to do is convince Americans that there's a good reason for violence, for killings and for violations of the law. That's not acceptable, and we're not going to take that here today. Now, this is back and forth between the federal government and the state of Minnesota. It continues this morning.

Minnesota is now suing the Trump administration over Medicaid funding. The federal government is withholding about $243 million in payments that help cover health care costs for low-income residents in Minnesota. Now that will go to a judge, and they will decide whether the administration has the authority to hold back that money while the investment. investigation continues. So it will be, who will be held responsible for the fraud in Minnesota? Well, that's the thing. They've already arrested people. Okay. Right? So this hearing is, I don't know, it feels like a wild goose chase because they've already, you know,

arrested the people who were responsible for the fraud, right? It's what President Trump has been rallying about, you know, the Somali community and all of those things. It's already been done. So the oversight committee is now just following up and they were on Capitol Hill. And quickly, just quick question. Yeah. When people, when everybody sues Donald Trump, who pays Donald Trump's bills?

Who paid Donald Trump's lawyer fees? Are we paying in our taxpayers? I don't know. That's a great question, Envy. I mean, because he's the president. He's the president, so I would assume that, you know, he's not coming out of his pocket. I figure it would be tax-based money,

so we're paying to defend him. I don't know if that's true. I don't know. I don't know. That's a really great question. You said it like this statement just now. I'm just saying it just seems right. It just seems, right?

He works for the president. I don't know. Works for the country. I don't know. That's a really good question. We will have to look into that one. But it's kind of like when, you know, he's suing the IRS and we're paying him the money to, you know what I mean? To sue the IRS.

Yeah. So it's convoluted. All right. So, and also, did you guys see this? There was a dramatic moment during a Senate hearing yesterday when a protester interrupted the meeting to speak out against the U.S. and Israel war with Iran. It was a Marine veteran. That was crazy. Yeah, let's listen to some of that.

Out. No one wants to fight for Israel. hand his hand so that man identified as brian mcginnis a marine veteran he's running for senate in north carolina he began shouting before that hearing and then capital police they moved in to arrest him now during the struggle a republican senator tim shihia montana he stepped in to help officers physically carry him out the room but mcginnis says that his arm is broken and it was broken during the confrontation and capital police though they say that he was violently assaulting officers he has been arrested and taken to the hospital.

How do senators and Capitol police not have more respect for our veterans? Even if you want him to leave, there's got to be a way to do it with a lot more dignity, a lot more respectfully. Like, what was that? Like, what was that? Yeah. It makes sense. It was very very hard to watch.

Envy, taxpayers do not directly pay personal legal bills which are often covered by private funds or political action committees for the president. So we just pay everything else. I was wondering if that Because I've seen that too. I didn't know if that was while he was president or why he was campaigning.

Because when they was campaigning, they said campaign funds take care of it. But while he was president, I was just curious. Hmm. There was no need for that. He asked a question. And I'm not even sure. You're not even sure. Okay.

I'm just trying. No, I'm here. Right. So I'm trying. You should have said, hey, I just Googled an AI overview told me. Yeah, I don't understand. No. You just wanted, you want to style smart.

Why? Jess, I googled it before I asked. I didn't get the answer. And NB. Reddit and was like, well, I don't know if that's right, so I'm not going to say it. I didn't know he was Googling. No, here go, Jess. That's why I asked, because I googled. I was like, I'm not sure.

Let me ask, maybe Mimi would know. That's why I asked. You're trying, though. Thank you for trying. No, we appreciate it. A-for-eff. Let's move on to the Nancy Guthrie case because we have, it's been a minute since we talked about this. Yeah, what happened with that.

It just went gone. Yeah. She went back to work, and, I mean, So let's get caught up on that really quickly. So Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of today's show host Savannah Guthrie, she was taken from her Tucson home back on February 1st. Now, investigators say she was abducted in the middle of the night, and she still has not been found.

Now, earlier in the investigation, deputies discovered a glove about two miles from her home. That same type, that's the same type investigators believe the suspect was wearing in that surveillance video. Well, the DNA, because we talked about this last time, that was sent off for DNA testing. So the DNA from that glove has been traced to a restaurant worker who works across the street from where it was found. But investigators say that that person is not connected to the case, meaning the glove turned out to be a dead end. That's so crazy with all these cameras, with witnesses, and nobody knows or heard or seen nothing at all. Yeah.

And I mean, I guess at this point I'll be thinking about what was the plot? What was the reason? Because at first they said it wasn't ransom, but that turned out not to be true. Right. So what was the reason? A robbery gone wrong. A robbery gone wrong. Like, what was the reason?

Like, now I want to know motive. I mean, hopefully, God bless, I hope they find her alive. That's number one. But I really want to know motive. Like, what's the reason? Well, the family is still pleading for answers. They've now increased the reward to up to a million dollars for information that leaves to her recovery.

The FBI is still involved. And investigators say they are still continuing to actively follow every lead. So that's where we are. And a quick question this morning. What's the one thing a passenger can do in your car that is? going to get on your nerves. Fart. Okay.

Oh, no, you gotta get out. Why would you disrespect me like that? I don't even fart in my clothes. You're going to fart in my car. Okay. All right. Well, really quickly, there's a new study that says backseat driving

is the number one annoying thing that someone can do. Backseat driving? Someone yelling, slow down. Don't go there. Turn left, right? Yeah. That backseat driving, touching your radio,

any of those things. All of that, eating in your car, leaving trash in your car. That's the number one thing. And then the second number one thing is people not offering you gas money once you've taken them everywhere. Oh, that's a good one.

That is a good one. The gas is too damn high. That sounds like having kids. They don't offer you gas money. They touch your radio. They fart in your car. Like something like having kids? All right, y'all,

well, that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown TV. All right. Thank you, Mimi. Now, when we come back, Domani, Damani Harris will be joining us. Tia's son, he'll be joining us

and we're going to kick it with him. Also, today is just Fixed My Mess. It's a Thursday. So if you need relationship advice or any type of you, of advice, call Jess right now 800, 585-105-1. Her book comes out April 28th, so if you haven't pre-ordered,

We are the Breakfast Club. Lawn LaRose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Demani Harris. Welcome. Good morning. How are you feeling, brother?

How are you feeling, my brother? You good? Yeah, good. You got a new EP out right now. Yeah. Everlasting tape. Yeah. Talk about that. Seems like there's a beta you're talking to it

or something that you're talking about. That's what they want to know, huh? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's really, it's an extension from the song Foreverlasting that I put out. And it went crazy. I ended up putting my phone number on it and people... Is that a real number?

Yeah. Jesus. But that, it's been going crazy and people have been one, like, different people on the song and the whole project for my... that vibe right there and I just gave the people what they wanted so that's what that is. That wasn't stressful giving out your number like that?

Like taking all them calls? No, nah, it's not unbearable. Is it a burner phone or is it like your real personal number? It's my number. It's my real phone. Well, I feel like, I mean, so it's your real number, but like how are you using it to like, because now you're pushing out the second

project? Because everything that you do, even before this project feels like you're always talking directly right to us as like fans. So was that the reason for putting your number there so people could Yeah, so it's really, it really wasn't the reason. It's just, when I'm writing, I'm always like talking to someone, like you said. And it's just like naturally I would say, what's going on?

What we're doing? Okay, let's exchange information before we leave. That's what the whole situation was. And I just actually said my real number. So on this tape, I know, I mean, obviously you're talking about a woman throughout the whole tape. But also, it feels like you're also writing a letter to like you chasing your dreams a bit. who put the two of those together for me and talk about your love for whoever this lady is

and how she supports you and what you're doing right now. Yeah, I feel like we need that, man. And me just having a child more understanding that balance of being there and being a father and knowing that I got to be a way to really like provide at the same time. So that's very important. That's just my life, man.

That's just what I've been into. That's what I've been seeing. and it just naturally spills into the music. Sometimes I don't even know the picture that I'm paying until I sit back and I listen to it or I look at it. So yeah, that was a great question, though. I want to go back if you don't mind, right? The first time that we've seen you was the family hustle, right?

Family reality show. What made you want to jump into music, right? Because I remember one time I'm on the family hustle, your dad didn't want really any of y'all to go into music. He didn't want y'all in the entertainment industry. But what put you in music and when did you realize you were good at music? so I would say I wanted to do it because it was definitely just around me and I felt like

it's in your blood yeah yeah yeah and I felt like probably like how a lot of kids feel they see a rapper or artist or a celebrity on TV and they see the lifestyle and what it looks like of course that's what naturally caught my attention and then being so close to it seeing my father I already look up to my father so I would say that's where the spark came from and that's where the image of me wanting to do music. But when I like learned more about it and really found myself and knew what I wanted to do

it is when I started to tell my story and really express myself and the question started answering some of the questions that I had in my head through the music and then people would come to tell me like it helped them as well. I was like yeah, it's definitely what I want to do. Did you have a chasing, I'm sorry, an identity issue because like your dad is so street, right? And you grew up listening to that and they said, yeah, you're, you know, know some of the people you love is Hove, is Kendrick, is, it's $100,000.

But you're not from that same place. Did you ever have that say, like, damn, I love this music, but I'm not that. Well, they love that, the people that love my dad. Did you ever have that issue or identity? I really don't think I did, man. It's never been difficult for me to really, like, know who I am and just be free and feel comfortable to speak about that.

Like, I knew the way that I grew up And the way my father grew up was completely different. Thank God. Right. But yeah, I definitely knew that I was completely different. And it wasn't there. I was into different stuff, man. I was creative.

I was drawing, painting, building stuff. Like, I was distracted with stuff like that. So I wasn't even worried about that. Was there ever any pressure for you to sound like Atlanta or sound like your dad? You know what I mean? In music, when you first got into music, the people want to hear a little tip.

I was so young, I probably didn't even think about it like that, for real. It wasn't until I got older to really understand and sit back and look at it from that perspective to realize, dang, the people probably did want me to come like this, but I was already established in my own situation. So it's just me being young and just the love for music and create and driving that. So, yeah.

You know, a lot of artists nowadays, they chase going viral. When I listen to your music, it always feels introspective, right? Like, do you ever feel like, you know, your substance is fighting, fighting the algorithm? Nah, not fighting the algorithm. It's just about how you package it, man. Because everyone, we all got the same questions a lot of times, and we all want to know the same thing. We go through the same thing. But it's just about how can you package it to where it could be, it could be, like, good on the eye to people.

or entertaining. Digestable. Digestable. That's what it's all about. So even if something seemed like it's not working for me, I just try to figure out a different angle to package it.

And I feel like to what he's saying, your stuff does that even though it's not like the super like TikToky. Like it's a vibe and you have to catch it. But I remember one of your songs

I heard for the first time it was all over TikTok because people just, it was such an energy, especially with the ladies. So you have those moments naturally anyway. So I don't think

there's no struggle there really like it's happening already. Yeah. And then I'm really just always talking to I don't think I ever

give off like I'm trying to be mainstream or just trying to just blow up. I'm really just having a conversation a lot of times and I'm talking to

like one person. So. In 2017 you did the constellation and then now we're all all these years later what's the conversation

you were having with yourself then that is so different now when you're putting out music hmm I think I was I mean I'm still figuring it out now but I was definitely figuring it out and um man I was doing everything I would say to get away from my father to get away from my last name which is that idea in general and that's just I was just hard-headed but it worked. Like, I mean, it pushed me to,

uh, learn different things about myself and music. And it helped me figure out my own stuff. And that's the first, I'm saying this because that's the first thing that's the first thing that popped in my head when you ask me that question. Now I feel like I'm, like I'm,

like I'm, I don't feel like it will hinder my career. Like, and that's a, that's a beautiful thing. So I can say that's what I learned and that's the difference now. It's interesting that every single one of y'all have your own distinct identities.

You, your hip brother, King, was Buddy King, like all of y'all. Yeah, but it's totally different. Totally different. Totally different. Totally different. Even different from what your father's doing. You know, it's crazy I was going to ask, even with that, it's always strange to me, especially in our community, that I feel like the kids and the juniors run away from

their family's name. Like, they want to create their own identity. But then when you look at some other culture sometimes, it's like they take it more. Like, yeah, that's my dad. Yeah. But why is that? You feel like people would judge you. They wouldn't listen to your music.

Why was that that you wanted to run away from that name at first? Yeah, it's the environment, I would say. Because I don't think that's a natural feeling. Like, a kid should want to be like their parents. Absolutely is. Look like their parents be doing the same thing. I think it's the environment, man. I don't think we embrace that enough.

We don't make it feel like it's a positive thing. We make it feel like you don't deserve that. That didn't come from you. That came from them. But really, that's how it's supposed to be. So, yeah. But you're still your own, man. I mean, it's like if I sat down in the interview,

regardless of that's my father or not, I don't want to be asked 20 minutes of questions about my father. You know what I'm saying? Right, right. It's going to happen regardless, though. For a while. Your line is, for a while, yeah, absolutely.

Like, what you're saying? What's some of the hardest internal battles you've got to face when you're making music, especially this tape? I would say just being honest. Being honest, because I'd be having real questions, and it seemed like, I don't know that I got these questions until I hear the right beat.

You know what I'm saying? And then I really ask myself the question and I give me some time to really give a real answer. I would say that. And then being fearless or comfortable enough to be vulnerable to have that conversation, no matter who's in the room. Do you have to have answers at your age? Not even just at your age, period. Like, you always have to have answers? That's a crazy question.

I mean, because even the answers may not be the answers. That's right. So it's like, I think it's healthy to poke and try to see what's what. I think we learn when we ask questions. But, yeah, the answers may not be the answers. You know, with all of your family members pretty much inclined to music, do you bounce ideas off each other all the time? Do you play each other's records?

I've seen one video with King, he was trying to get you on a record, and you was curving him. He was curving him. Did he ever get that record? by the way? Damn. Nah, you're talking.

No, we, see, the record is done. Okay. That whole thing was, um, we was really just

hanging out, man, and, you know, we've grown now, we got kids, so it's like, the only time

we really see each other is at the studio and a lot of times surrounding the music. Mm-hmm. So I'm like, him hanging around me a little bit more

just because he think that that's what it's going to get the first, The verse is done. The song is done. You know what I'm saying? What we want to do.

But we were just really just enjoying each other's time. That's how I was looking at it. Like we went to WrestleMania, WWE thing. We went to the Hards game. We were just kicking in. He's thinking like, I'm telling him, yeah, man, I'm just trying to get inspired.

Really, man, we're just hanging out. We're in your brother. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. What's up with Major? I feel like he don't want us out of the way. We don't really see him like that. Yeah, he's out of the way for sure.

He, um, but that's the, that's just him, man. But right now he's, he's, he's doing, uh, he's doing plays right now. That's dope. So he's not into the music at all. He don't want to, not right now. Gotcha. I saw, uh, your dad, I saw Tia, I talk about how, like, the studio has always been y'all's home. And I hear you say that y'all just be chilling in the studio.

So when you guys are in a studio and something like that happens where like, y'all want to create a song or like, whatever the case may be, when you don't want to put a verse on something. So say, if you were like, no, I don't want to do this. I know y'all, big brother, little brother, like, is it an issue when you're like, I don't want to be on this record? No, I really feel like we're, we understand each other. We understand each other.

And we know we don't mean no harm. We don't got no bad intentions. It's not like we really just probably don't feel it. And it just be like that sometimes. And it's nothing wrong with that. And it's always going to be some more music in another time. But no, we're not like, why you're not doing it. You're doing it for other people.

Nah, we're not like that. Because I tell other people no, too, though. What makes you say no? It don't vibe. Damn, king. No, I'm like, he's like a king, right? No, I mean, like, because you didn't do it. But he didn't do it at first.

It took him apart. He thought I didn't do it at first. Oh, got you, got you. We're just hanging out because I'm like, nah, man, this is how I get my inspiration. Yeah. but you just wanted to spend time. It seems like,

and the reason I ask you that is because we've watched all of you guys, like on television, literally in your relationships, develop and stuff like that. So I don't know, it seemed like there was a lesson in there that you were trying to teach him about just spending time or something that.

100%. That's where the real inspiration come from. You think it ever gets like that? That's very interesting what you're saying. Do you ever think it gets like that with siblings and family where you start looking at each other like the artist as opposed to being like,

you're my brother. Like, let's just kick it. Don't look at me as an artist you just want to feature from. I don't think we, I've never looked at us like that. It's hard to do, man. We didn't grow up to get. We like real siblings. It's tough to have that.

Like, unless we just been away for a long time, maybe I could see that. But man, that's tough. We really, man, we're really close. So I don't see that happening. And it's interesting, man. Like your generation grew up watching the internet judge everything. in real time. So how do you stay creative when every opinion

is instantly in your faith? Sometimes you gotta put the phone down, but then it's like just knowing, staying focused man, stay in focus. And the love for whatever you do, gotta be more powerful than everything else. And I feel like once you know what you love to do, the actions will show and it's gonna be hard

to get thrown off for real, for real. How much, how much, of the feedback do you take in from just social media? That's a great question. That's a great question because in the music business it's like you are of service

but at the same time you got to make sure the best art comes from a real place from you. So I like to separate the two and like I was talking about packaging earlier I think about

whatever I want to do creatively I don't think about no one else. That's me. How I want to package it, how I want to package it and deliver it, the people that tell me how they best like to digest it there. But when I'm creating,

that's 100% me. I think that balance has been working for me. I think that's a great balance for just creating and selling art in general. I think a lot of people, especially young people, like it's hard for us to figure out that balance So like it's authenticity, but then it's also adding the art,

but also knowing kind of what people want to hear, but not really caring what they want to hear either. So like when Miss Jackson, when that dropped, right, there's a lot of people I feel like who were having a conversation with me about you. And I'm like, y'all didn't been no, he's like that. He's been dope like that. But I think because at the time, everything that was going on

with your family was so big, it made people go down this rabbit hole of Damani. So there was the balance there of like, it's art, it's creative, it's from a real place. but like it's also dope, like the flips that you did in there and like everything like that. And a lot of people can't do that. I appreciate it. Do you feel like that?

Did you feel that though? Like there were people who were discovering you in real time again from that, um, this show? Yeah. I was seeing people say that. And it just like you said, it was, I also saying people responding like, no, he's been doing this. That's what he's been doing. And sometimes it takes, sometimes you don't know where the blessings come from. And sometimes it takes some stuff you've never thought of.

to have you in a better position. But, you know, all we do is make best use of what we got and hope for the best. I think the record opened them up to people that might not have known who he was, right? Because it's like anything else. The first time you talked about, DeMani was that record. You know, I mean, and saved it with media and press. So it gave people a light to who he was. And once you go down the rabbit hole, you'd be like, oh, this.

It depends, though. You got somebody like Nyla who always been talking about him. You know what I'm saying? But that's your age. group. Yeah. I look cool. She got a good,

she got a good taste of music. When you, when do you protect, what do you do to protect your piece in an industry that just profits off, all chaos? Stay focused. Stay focused and stay around family.

Have a, have a strong circle around you. It's hard to, like I'm going to keep saying, it's hard to get thrown off, man. When you, when you focus on what you love to do, you got a good team runs.

Mm-hmm. So just stay focused. Whenever you confuse, man, write about it. Or stay focused. People are having conversations about you and you being like, kind of like where Jay Cole was and being like the new like version of that. Does that conversation bother you? Do you care for it?

Yeah. Do you like that comparison? Yeah. I was about to say that's crazy because you say where he was. I feel like he's one of the dopest writers right now. He's got one of the craziest pens right now to this day. You said how do I feel about that comparison? I feel like it's a compliment because that's how I feel about him.

And if people compare me to that, I'm like, yeah, that's one of the greatest compliments for sure. You think authenticity still wins? Or you got to be like a character actor in this era? It's really like the perfect pack. And you just got to have a perfect packaging, man. It's like a lot of times the stuff we buy in the store, like may not be actual good quality products, but the way that is packaged. Yeah, very enticing. Right.

With the level of the shelf is on, the commercial you sing, who you heard, talk about it. So all that play a part. You maybe think about it with the Cole thing, right? Because everybody felt like Cole was being performative. Not everybody, but there was people who felt like Cole was being performative driving around in the Honda. Oh, okay.

But I'm like, if your album dropped and you're out there promoting it, there's going to be a level of performance. To whatever it is you're doing. Man, that's genuinely. him. The money. The money. The car broke down.

Because he was driving it. They made a video at the auto car shop. He did. Yeah, that genuinely him. This is what I take from it. He's not putting too much thought on it.

He's just going with the flow. Even when he came to Atlanta, like he was trying to figure out what to do that day. It's not like he was planned out, mapped out. No. I was like, you can go here. He can go here.

He called you like, hey, what should I? Not him personally. I'm out there now. Well, no, we got, we communicate, but that time he didn't call me personally. Got you. But, yeah, he just putting together and just doing exactly what he, I guess, what he feel like he always wanted to do. But, yeah, he really just chilling. I know somebody had to put you on the old, old organized noise, like the good jobs and the old Outcast albums.

You ever did a deep dive on all that? Yeah. Pops. Pops gave me all the, he gave me all the people. he felt like I should listen to him. And I dove into it, man, just because I just loved music. I could have ignored them.

But now, I dove into it, and I understood it. I understood it. And I just, the boys are so talented, bro. And I took a lot from it. I feel like you and Jed and Marco Plus would make some amazing music together.

Y'all have been in the studio together? Not all together. Me and Marco, we got some music, though. We need some more. I don't have nothing with J it, but I feel like it's on the way. Yeah, there's some dope people, though. Oh, now, Marco, Mark, Marco is phenomenal. He's cool.

Like, he's phenomenal. I saw Tiah talking about how he didn't want you, he basically didn't want you jumping in the beef, so to speak, right? And King as well. Yes, and King as well. And talking about 50s mom. What was those conversations like? No, we didn't really have a conversation.

You didn't even ask them. You just didn't fly. Because he probably would have told, probably would have had some input and I would have to choose to ignore him or go my own route I just put it out just because I felt like

somebody told me like this is too good like this is too good to not put out I just do it because this is how I felt this was on my mind this how I express myself and it could just be like that and it could just stay on the hard drive

I don't even got to hear it again I just needed to get it out but he was telling me like yeah you need to put that out that I don't need to just stay on the drive. And I just listen to them, honestly. So once he heard it, he calls you.

And then, are y'all together when he hears it? Like, how to, what was the? Well, he heard it like how we heard it. Yeah. You can't be doing that. You cannot be doing that. I know he was like, that is not protocol. It was too good not to put out, though.

It was dumb how you did it. But what does that, like, as not as T. As dad, what does he call you and say, you know, man to man at this point? man he's a father so now I understand it and I understand why he picks and choose

when and what to say and how much to say because he don't want to have too much impact or push his child in a direction that I naturally wouldn't want to go into so he really don't say much but I hear people tell me what he say

you know what I'm saying but um yeah it was i know for a fact he said yeah we don't got to do this over with now and i was like okay bet let's do it when you talk about forever lasting right are you talking about music that age as well or a mindset that survives the industry because i feel like you focus on mindset a lot or a love

a love of what because almost every song the songs are seem like you're talking about it there are long songs but they're talking about music too. Yeah, and well, in that case, the song is about making the love last forever. You were saying...

I'm talking about music. Yeah, you were saying, I'm saying, like, are you talking about music that age as well or a mindset that will help you survive the injury? Forever. Yeah, it's really just about just making timeless art. You're saying, what do I feel like makes art timeless? The substance.

the authenticity just the impact and yeah I believe that's those that's the combination to make art last forever for sure

do you have those those are the kind of conversations I can see you having with you your pops because he's been around a long time like asking him yeah how do you

how do you stay I don't even know if there's a form I don't even know if you can even ask that question you can ask it how do you stay around forever but it won't be the same for everybody yeah you're right

it won't be the same for everybody. But some stuff fizzle out way faster than others. Yeah. So it's definitely a real thing for sure.

What does forever look like for you? When I'm gone, the memories, the stories about me and the things that I've done will still be impacting people positively.

That's forever. We appreciate you for joining us, man. I don't know. I'm going to whisper because he whispered, man. I don't want to get hype. It's just a feeling. I don't like the boo.

He put you in the choir in the quiet store, man. I'm back to the store. You don't yell. Dr. Monty, I'm so glad that you can join us. That's right. Check out the EP for Everlasting tape. And the candles,

the moneyforever. com. You can just go on my social media to ask me where to get the candles. I'm a DM you to link. Okay. I want to call you. The candles.

Yeah. Because I got you nothing there. There you go. This is a silly question, but I always think about this, right? When TI did, it ain't about the money. Did you ever walk about around the house? You're saying, if it ain't about the money? No. Okay. It's the money, it's the money. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get right

to the latest with all right. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. Take me through that, take me through there. The latest with Lauren O'Neillow. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coobeck. Talk to me. So I know we're talking to Damani today, but we also are going to take some time today to celebrate TI

because this week he has entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 with Let Em know. Dropping the clothes bomb for tip, red? Off of his album that will be coming Kill the King. Now, he's number eight, I mean, sorry, number eight, number 38 this week. Let me get that right. But he sat down and had a conversation

with Billboard, and they talked about just him being independent doing all of this right now. And he says one of his biggest regrets is leaving Atlantic. Let's take a listen. Now you're doing this independently. Does that success hit differently for you? It does.

No way you don't have the machine. I mean, it's still a machine, but the machine is boutique. It's very insulated. One of the reasons why I made one of the toughest decisions, arguably one of the worst decisions in my career, I made a decision to leave Atlantic, quite honestly, because I just got tired of wondering, was my success predicated on me or them? I stepped away, and I almost immediately could see that there were a lot of things.

being done on my behalf for my benefit that I was probably oblivious to. And at that moment, once I found that out, I was eager to learn what those things were. I'm glad he said that because most people wouldn't have said that. Most people would have said I would independent and it's big, but labels do a lot than just put your records on the DSP, the resources and the radio, the resources. I do wonder though. A little bit of everything. I can agree with that, but I do wonder if they could have.

made, let them know, be as successful as it is. I don't know. Think about when he played that record for us last year. I was like, yo, that's going to go. I wonder if they could have done that. I was going to say, I feel like when we heard it, we knew instantly because of the feeling that it gave you. And I think that that's what's naturally happening.

You got T.I. naturally just going and having conversations that he always had, and people just love the song. But to that point, it's like the, you know, if the internet is naturally gravitating towards it, and it's on TikTok and all those places like that, is that the label? No, it's not the label But it's also

It's also T.I's name, right? Because if it would have been another artist That didn't have the catalog of T.I. Or the longevity of T.I. It wouldn't have caught on as fast. It would have been harder to break. But since we know T.I.

For the countless hits that he's put up, it's like, oh, there's another one. Most of the people that listen to Tia, I don't know if he's on a label or not. And they don't care. They don't because you just trust Tia. So he actually got into that part of the conversation with Billboard as well.

He talked about Legger and all the success that they're seeing right now because the clips just did their thing as well too. Let's take a listen to TI on Legacy Acts. Legacy artists have built brands that the fans can trust. They know what to expect. There's a quality control that has been maintained and sustained over the course of years where expectations have been met and exceeded. The demand has been answered and consistently replicated.

They know what they're going to go get. when they get a nods album. They know what they're going to get when they get an Eminem album. They're not doing this shit just to pay their bills or to get on. They're doing this because they want to offer greatness. Yeah, and when you name someone other artists,

nobody cares what label? If Gucci drops a record, they don't say, well, what labels he signed to? It's Gucci, man, who gave us longevity and countless hits. Same thing with a lot of these artists. That's true, but not. I agree, but I don't want it to seem like it's that easy.

The reason I'm going to say that is because all of those people, Because all of those people that you name drop music and don't have the moment that T.I.'s having the moment that T.I. has dropped mad music over the years but hasn't had the moment that he's having right now. This is a hit. And it's hard to get a hit, right? It's hard.

If it was that easy, everybody would do it. But as soon as we heard that record, we was like, that's it. And you don't hear that with every project. You hear, oh, that's cool. But when we heard that, we was like, oh, that's it. And I think it's number one at Black Radio. I literally looked that up because I want to stay in urban. A white baller.

Another thing I wanted to mention too is, I think, artists like Tia I understand the importance of radio because if you look at where he's going and where he went first and we listened to that a year ago he knew where with the do and sometimes the newer artists they varies what they think but TIA right now it was last year

it was last year it was a few months ago but it was number so TI right now is number one on the U.S. Black Radio charts I would let him know as of early March 2026 so yes I think that that has a lot to do with it as well I want to see him number one on Billboard I think he's going to get there

I definitely think he's going to get there I definitely think he's going to And T.I. Rocks with the DJs, too. And not just the radio DJs, the club DJs, the local DJs. He rocks with the DJs, so DJs show him support. I think that is a great story. How old is Tia now? 45, 46, 46. 45, 46 years old.

And, you know, has a number one record at Black Radio and number 38 overall, I think that is a fantastic story. That record needs to go number one. Yes. Cue it up, right? Cue it up, right? We're in 100 plus Marcus, okay?

Our spins count for something. It's all happy legacy. I'm glad you know. We're a radio hall of the show. You know, I'm just here and happy to be a part of the legacy. Yes, ma'am. All right, that's the latest for this. I'll be back.

We'll be back in the next hour with a lot more things. Wow. Thank you for letting me know. Speaking of, let them know. Thank you. All right. Shaliman, who are giving that donkey too? Four after the hour, we need Senator Tim Shihi and U.S. Capitol Police to come

to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with them, man. Tim what? Tim Shih. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community.

Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is, it always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife was white. The breakfast club, bitches.

All right, Shornayne, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey today for Thursday, March 5th goes to Senator Tim Shihi. Am I saying his name wrong? Is it Sheehe? Sheehe? Whatever. I like Shihi. I'm sure you do.

Senator Tim Shahey and U.S. Capitol Police, all right? That's who's getting donkey today today. for forcibly removing Brian McGinney from a Senate hearing on Wednesday for protesting against the military action that America and Israel took on Iran. Now, I know you're probably saying, well, who is Brian McGinney? He's a Green Party candidate running for Senate and North Carolina, and he's a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

You have to go watch this video, man. Brian McGinney literally has his Marine uniform on, and he was exercising his First Amendment right, the peacefully protester. You want to hear the audio from that. hearing. Let's listen. And nobody wants to fight for Israel.

Police will escort any protesters out of the hearing room. Out. No one. What's to fight? We didn't play the part with a guy started screaming. His hand was broke. Yeah, put that

back in there, man. Salute to all our veterans out there, man. You deserve so much more from this country. Okay. I have gotten on this radio a million times over the years and told you how I hate this country treats this veterans. Okay. If you have ever served this country, if you have fought a war for this country, when you come home, you should be treated like royalty, okay?

They should get free housing, free health care, a livable stipend every month. Our veterans shouldn't have to want for anything, okay? Watching homeless veterans with signs telling us what war they fought in with a Dunkin' Donuts Cubs Cubs asking for change should infuriate American citizens, okay? It should break your heart every time you see it. We shouldn't be jacking that at all. And now a Marine veteran, okay, in uniform comes to protest against a war that Israel and America just waged on Iran. And he gets forcibly removed, tackled, and called unhinged by Senator Tim Shihi or Shahi.

Okay. Tim wrote on Twitter, Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protester. Unhinged protester from the armed service. services hearing. Okay, he was fighting back. I decided to help out and de-escalate the situation. Now, he actually escalated the situation. Okay, the gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation and he got one. I hope he gets to help he needs without causing further violence, end quote. Funny he would say that when lack of access to mental health services are usually what contribute to the high suicide rates among veterans. Fewer than 50% of returning veterans

in need receive mental health treatment from the Department of Veteran Affairs. Why? Because the eligibility requirements are difficult to navigate because they are so complex. They should be simple. If you're served, you get all the mental health treatments you need. But this man, Bryant, doesn't need help. Senator, you do.

Okay? And the Capitol Police do. Y'all the ones that look unhinged. You tackled a Marine who was protesting a war saying no one wants to fight for Israel, Speaking to the accusations that Donald Trump only engaged in war with Iran because BB Netanyahu wanted him to, that gets you tackled and dragged out. And then when he holds onto a door to keep himself from being pulled away and you hear, you know, a woman yelling for all of them to be aware of the Marines hand.

And then you hear a crack, you know, because you hear a crack because his hand is in the crack of the doorway. And then you hear a loud crack because apparently he broke his hand that. Nobody thinks that's crazy? Can we listen to it again? No one wants to fight for Israel. His hand, his hand. Just Elaine had the note, the part where they say you broke his hand. There you go, Eddie. Come on. Let's play the extended version.

Okay. Oh, my God. Sir, thank you for your service. The president broke his hand. He's right now. How you say thanks for your service after you broke my hand? A Marine, a man who fought for this country and doesn't want his government answering to anyone but the American people gets tackled and gets his hand broke for standing up for America. What happened to America first?

Okay. For all the soldiers who may have to go to Iran to fight for BB's war, just know the administration's sending you over there. It doesn't give a damn about you. Okay, they would treat you exactly like they treated. Brian. We are pawns and whatever sick game these people are playing. It's wrestling to them. Real life for us. Okay. Real life for y'all especially. All right. And when politics turns to WWE, everybody loses. Okay. What happened to debates? We can't have a healthy debate. You can't have a healthy debate with somebody who fought for this country. When a senator and capital police

are helping to break a Marines hand in a congressional hearing, we're not having a debate. We're having a spectacle. And spectacles are great for viral videos, but terrible. But terrible for democracy. Okay, if this government put as much energy into fixing the country as they do in the tackling protests, all right? Who happened to be Marines? America might actually get somewhere. Please give Senator Tim Sheehe and the U.S. Capitol Police the biggest he-ha.

Now, Mimi Brown sent me a text, and she put S-H-E-E-D-H-E. So that looks like, She-E-H-E to me. Okay, I don't know who that looks like to me. So I must be pronouncing it right. Okay, send it a Tim Shee. I don't think that text was for that, but all right. Hey, yo. She wasn't trying to give me to pronounce it right?

No, I, she, anyway. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Man, when we come back, Jess, fix my mess. 800-585-105-1 if you need relationship advice. Any type of advice you can call Jess right now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning.

That's about me. Relationship problems Ex about me You need to beat your co-worker's ass Ex about me Your coworker need to beat your ass Call it up It's Dr. Jess

And I'm here to fix your mess It's getting very much messy Let me fix it Morning everybody It's DJ NVJJJJLari JLariah We are the Breakfast Club It's time for Jess fix my mess

Hello who's this Hello my name is Bree Hey Bree What's your question for Jess Okay so I'm calling Because I just got married yesterday And, um, my family. Congratulations.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. So just my family, my husband's, sorry. My husband's family was so happy. They were very supportive and just so, just so ecstatic, just very happy for us. Now, my family, on the other hand, they were very bland, dry, and just like, what?

Oh, really? I can't believe it. Now, just everybody knows. Everybody met him. They have, you know, they love him. They were there when he proposed and everything. But the problem is that we had just did something very intimate and got married at the court. And later on, a year from now, we want to do a ceremony, invite everybody, you know, to that.

Yeah. But we just, you know, wanted to just have it intimate just between us and God. And, you know, just keep it that way. But people were just upset that, you know. they didn't, they wasn't invited to that or something. I don't know. But I'm calling with a very heavy heart and it, it kind of hurts to see my family response versus his.

And we were on FaceTime with his family and my family at the same time. And it was just so different and it hurt, girl. Yeah, yeah. No, I totally understand. Listen, you probably won't believe I went through the same thing. Okay, so my husband proposed to me on Christmas. And when I called around, I was so excited because I didn't see it coming, And when I called around to tell my friends and, you know, my family, believe it or not, a lot, like, you know, and I'd never had a lot of friends just had like, you know, a tight circle.

More than half that circle were bland and dry and, you know what I mean? Because they weren't there and they felt like he didn't put them. He had no regard for how they felt and that they should have, he should have reached out and had them there. It was Christmas Day. It was very intimate. We had our kids. My father, his mother, my sister was there. And he just did it because that's what he felt.

That's what he wanted to do. Then we, then April, four months, four or five months later, we decided that we wanted to have a small ceremony, very intimate, just like you, at the courthouse, right? And that we would plan the wedding in one or two years, the actual reception party. You know what I mean?

Right. There, we invited both of our parents, the kids. I had my closest aunt and my video guy, my sister and everything, siblings. And my friends and some of my other family members were pissed. My heart was heavy as well for like two, three days. But when you realize, girl, it's not about them, it's about you. And if they can't be happy for you genuinely, you just got to put them on ice for a minute. you're starting a new life

and a lot of people will not understand that the new life of being married and that now it's not just about it's not you can't worry about everybody else and how they feel I know you want them to be so happy for you I wanted the same thing girl I was crying for like 48 hours in my husband's arms like yo

I wonder why they're just not happy because a lot of the questions were damn why we weren't there why I mean why wasn't we there why we wow that's crazy he just did that I mean you know what I'm saying it's your moment it's his moment. It's not everybody else's moment.

They just need to be happy for you. It's going to get better, but I tell you what, congratulations. I'm happy. If you're happy, I'm happy for you. Thank you so much, and at least you know your in-laws are happy, girl, because it could be the other way around. They could not be happy. And you're, I love them.

You hear so many scary stories about in-laws and the other side of the family and all of that, not liking you and not approving to you, but I'm happy that at least one side of the family is happy about your covenant you know what i mean this has been an ongoing thing with my family it's just like they're never never happy about any of my well then there you go see you ain't tell me that they always been like that it's always been a little negative over there it's always something going on over there girl you need to come up out that that ain't that ain't you that ain't

you that ain't you got some issues that they need to work through themselves they can't be happy for people if they're not happy that's all i needed to hear problem. But I'm like, Mama. Congratulations. We're in the middle of Just Fix My Mess. Hello, who's this?

Hello, hi. This is Sarah from the Bronx. Hey, what's your question? Good morning. I'm calling to pick a Jess to fix my mess. What's your mess, Mama? Hey, girl. All right, so I have a situation

with my daughter's father, right? Mm-hmm. We separated, and we separated about the early in 2026. So he's been telling me since then he wants to see my daughter. But I feel like the whole situation with him having a child with me is like,

entrapment. He had a daughter with a child with me to keep me tracking a relationship for him. And now he's trying to use my daughter as a pawn to kind of like, you know, keep having a way to be in and out of my life. He never really did anything for my child. So it's like, why do you want to now step up and tell him, let me see my daughter? And I'm telling him, if he

want to see his daughter, he needs to go to court. Take me to the family court. Okay, okay, so wait, let me get this straight. Because you talk fast, you are mad, and that's alive. Let me help you out. Okay, so, no, it's okay. So, you have a baby with your ex, obviously. And you felt like he trapped you? Yeah, I don't know, I know he did.

All right. How did he trap you? And you had sex willingly unprotected. How the hell he trapped you? And you had the baby willingly too. We have a 10-year age difference, right? And I did want my child, yes. But I did not have my child to be stuck in a relationship at all.

So he doesn't do anything for the child unless you're with him. He never did anything for my daughter, whether we together or not. So just like that's another reason why they, like, get away from you. Like, what do you here for? Hmm. So now, so what's the struggle? So now what does he want now? Like he wants to be with you or he's, so you're saying that you need for him, you, but you're going to take him to court or you? No, I'm telling him if he wants any involvement with my child from here or now. Go to go to. Go to. You all got to go through the courts. Yeah. Because he's just trying to like, oh, now I want to see my daughter. No, I need to see my child. As I feel like as a way to like, you know, just to have a way to keep in and out of my life. Like, I don't think it's about my child because it's about my child. It's about my child. you would have been a father from day one.

You don't think he could have had an epiphany. Like, y'all need to get my age together. I got a daughter out there. I got a little girl that's going to grow up. And she's going to wonder where her father was. Yeah, no. Because I told him to go to court, he said no. So if it was that serious, you would have took me to court for your child.

Okay. So listen, I'm going to be honest with you. You do sound a little bitter. And it's okay. It's all right. You do. It's right. Girl, it's all right.

Because I've been there. That's why you need to get my damn book. until death do we parent. I was very, very bitter for like a good four years, girl, you know, but I came up out of that because being bitter doesn't hurt anybody but the child. If he's asking to see his daughter, I think you should see how it goes. Now, you can be present, you know what I mean? I don't want to be present.

I don't want no ass. I don't want it. Okay, but see, there it is. You don't want anything to do with him, so you're harboring your, you know, you're keeping your daughter away, you know what I mean? Because you don't want anything to do with him, but that's still her father, baby. You have to at least give him a chance to do what he has to do for her. And if he proves you wrong, then you do the courts.

I understand in the past he hasn't done anything. But you need to also establish clear boundaries. Listen, I don't want you using her to be in and out of my life. She is the one that matters, okay? Our relationship ended. I don't want anything to do with you. I don't even like to see your face. But you are still the father of my daughter.

So you need to do what you need to do for her. And hopefully later on, y'all can come to, y'all could be cordial. y'all can actually be cordial enough to talk and y'all can have a mutual friendship because y'all still have to raise your child together no matter what Right. Oh my goodness. And it's okay, girl. Bitterness is natural when somebody played with you. This is my first go-around. So I'm an inexperienced parent, but it's just like I feel like the way he played with me for the last, you know, a couple of years.

It's like, I'm not nobody's pawn. My child is not nobody's pawn. I got you. You're not going to like, you know, you're not going to be manipulated in any situations. Yeah. Of the basis of my child. Like, no. And that's what I saw that he's been doing.

Like, using my child as a reason to be in my life to get what he wants for me. and you know that. And a couple times you fell for it and it hurts. It hurts, don't it? Uh-huh. Yeah, it hurts. I get it. And that's why I said bitter is natural.

When you can admit that you're bitter and that you want to do something about it, it's hard to stay in it for a minute, but you can't be like that for a while. And you can't in return use your child as well to get back at him. That's not good. It's not going to hurt anybody but the child, you know, because she's still going to be looking for her dad, you know? So another thing is, right? he has he has other children

older children and I feel like if in the event that he does have my child there's a possibility not going to have a problem with him being with her being with her siblings

you're going to be taking my child around a female that I do not you understand agree with either okay now is that because and I want to ask you this and I want you to be honest with me Bull are you

okay good are you over him or you just mad right now listen listen thing. If he over me is the question. Okay, because he still be trying to come in and, you know, be intimate. Yeah, I'm trying to insert my flow.

Okay, okay. Well, yeah, this all depends on you. You still have to establish that clear boundary line. Yo, you're, we're not doing what we used to. I fell for it a couple times. I'm not doing it no more. I have a daughter to raise, okay? And although you don't want your daughter around

another woman, as long as you can, as long as you know, her father, That lady, she don't like me. She doesn't like me, though. She doesn't like me, though. And she doesn't want to hug children around me. So it was like, I have to, like, you know, like you cannot have my daughter.

I let it rock a few times, but it's like, y'all playing games. Like, you know, the whole situation is a game, and I'm not a part of it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it sounds like he playing a lot of games with the baby moms, with the mother of his children,

and he got y'all at odds and y'all fighting. And that directly affects the children, too, because you want your child to love on her siblings as you want her siblings to love on her. You want them to be able to fellowship and be around each other and, you know, although they're older still. But it's a lot of mess up in there

that y'all got to clean up. And it starts with you not holding, or you got to let some of that stuff go. And him, you can't allow him to play with you. You can't control him, you can't control that other lady. But you've got to have a real conversation with him. I don't trust somebody who don't like me around my child.

So we got to cut off our intimate feeling. Like we can't, move forward until we like sabotage completely and similarly what he said. She might not like her because he's going back and saying now she's not letting me see my kid. And that could be the reason. I don't think she could keep her kid

hostage, you know what I mean? You should let him see the kid but he's trying to be in his kid's life. You can't think of herself. I think she got to think of the child. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You should pick up Justice's book because it's a co-parenting book and it can guide you. Because you can see all the mistakes and all the things that she did wrong so you could do not what to do and you can get her guidance through that. Absolutely.

Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All righty guys.

So let's start the latest this hour with some really great news. Oh. Yeah. What? I like good news. You always be having bad news. Oh, don't do me. All right.

So yesterday the upfronts went down. The up friends for people who don't know what that means is it's just like one big place where they talk about all the new TV deals and shows coming and all that, right? Who's up front still? So there were a few. So yesterday I'm going to get into different things that happen. So I want to spotlight Queen Latifah and Taraji P. Hinton because it was a announced yesterday that Lifetime is going

to be moving into micro dramas with them along with Tay Diggs and they have a whole slate. So Queen Latifah signed on to executive produce three new Lifetime original movies through her production company Flavor Unit Entertainment alongside her longtime partner Shaq Kim

and Saraji Panton is going to be producing two new original films for Lifetime through her production company TPH Entertainment. So it's fire to see and then we also have Tashina Arnold. Now Tashina Arnold got a first look deal yesterday to CBS up front

and she's been on a long running show The Neighborhood on CBS So yes it's so far That she's going to get to be doing Her own content First Look with them Moving out of the series As it comes to it in

And it's eighth season So this is her making plans for the future So congratulations to all the ladies And Taye Diggs and everybody else That will be involved That is... I want to lose bonds for all of them And think about how long

All of them have been around Right Just think about that You named Gina Arndham You named to Roger Bintin Queen Leithee But just think about how long their careers have spent. That's what's the most impressive part.

Absolutely. To see in longevity. Yes, 100%. Now, speaking of longevity or not so long, so there's a conversation that's happening. So this is actually, it was happening over the weekend, but it's too good to miss. So there's a guy who is claiming that he has the world's smallest,

can I say the peeler? Yes, I heard about him. World smallest penis. Oh, you heard about him. I reported this on Bernie this weeks ago. Okay. Well, the reason why we're going to talk about it today, exactly, because he got a little competition. The reason why we're going to talk about it today is because I've reached out to getting his book of world records on this story.

But I've got to give you guys some background before I get to them. You need more. You need more to do, Lord. Yeah, you need more. You need friends. You need to go out more. Come on, Lo. I want to hear this.

All right. Okay, so his name is Michael Phillips. And he sat down with TMZ and he talked about having the world's smallest penis. Now, the conversation had come up because he had sent a woman a photo. The woman got online talking about the photo. She confirmed that it was very small. But let's take a listen to him on his small peepee. You've said that you have a 0.38 inch penis.

Just from your hand, can you kind of demonstrate like how big or how small that would be? It's probably like the size of my fingernail. And is that fully erect or is that flaccid? That's erect. Like when it's flaccid, it's smaller than that. And I saw you've said that you have the small. smallest penis in the world. What makes you say that?

Basically, just like the research that I've done online, I mean, I welcome anybody to come out there and beat me. Do you plan to enter in Guinnessbrook a world records or anything like that? I think I looked into it and I'm not really sure if they give out records. It sounds like he got two out of belly buttons. I bet you, you know what I'm saying? Like, what is that? Hey, yo. He just wanted attention.

Why are he telling people that? Well, I mean, I think he kind of... You can be famous for it. Cool. They didn't get no cat. Well, this was a follow-up. So the original story that went down, did you guys talk about that one,

too, on Bray, idiots with the woman? I just saw when he was sitting down during the interview. Yeah, the TV. Okay. So the original story was there was a woman that went viral because she was talking about the fact that a man has sent her a photo

unsolicited in that it was very, very small, the private area. and it was confirming that this man has been saying his private area is really small. And she got online, first of all, she was freaked out. But secondly, she was confirming it. So then TMZ went and found him and had a conversation with him about why he sent it. And he said that he sent the photo because he likes to tell people up front what they're about to deal with. So he don't want to waste that time.

Right. And that's how this. Damn, a bunch of scissors going on. And that's how this whole thing came about. Now, I did reach out to a Guinness Book of World. records. I had a rep there that I was working with when we did another story about GZ, not unrelated to this.

And they said that this is something that they would definitely consider. Now, whether or not he's going to get the record, I don't have that confirmed yet. But... This may need to be DNA tested, man. Because I think that he actually might be a woman who just won attention. You know what I'm saying? An ugly ass chick

who decided to shave it all off down there and tell everybody that hurt clitoris is a penis. DNA test this person. Okay. And as we wrap, my last announcement here is that the Black Effect Podcast Festival that is coming. We now have a lineup. We got some things to talk about. Hold on now. Hold on now.

because I have some things to talk about. All right. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess hilarious. Salomey and the guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now it's Black, I was going to say Black History, Mom. It's going to be honoring a woman. Yes. And I hear a lot of people saying, why is she honoring fictional characters? Correct.

First of all, these movies with these women who play roles that I am honoring, we all think movies come from. Movies often are based off inspiration of people with real life, right? And that's why today I am honoring Yvette played by Taraji Pianston from the iconic movie Baby Boy.

Yvette was the girlfriend and baby mother to Joseph Summers, also known as Jody, played by the good brother Tyrese. In this movie, you see Yvette struggle with betrayal and manipulation from Jody, who was a grown-ass little boy who lived at home with his mother. Now, he was broke as hell,

so he couldn't even afford to cheat. I don't know why he was doing all that. Now, he was selling women's lingerie to other women that he was courting and having sex with all while in a relationship with Yvette. And he almost cheated on her with somebody she even worked with it. It was very weird.

But I resonated with that because Rome took me through that. Right? Now... He was selling Yonderware? No, he was not. But Jody was riding an Yvette car, taking her to work,

going to go cheat on her. with other women. Rome did that to me in the beginning of our co-parenting relationship. You know what I'm saying? And that's why I deeply resonate with Yvette.

And then he had, Jody had a nerve, a nerve to get upset when she started dealing with her ex-boyfriend Ronnie played by the good brother Snoop Dog. But Rome did the same thing. Because I left him

and started dealing with somebody else. He couldn't handle it. Now, the reason why I'm telling all this is because us women endure a lot. We endure a lot and when we think we're in love, we keep trying and trying and trying and we try to stay in these relationships and we become bitter. But the bitterness can actually turn into something beautiful.

So I love you, Yvette. I thought you about to say I love you Rome. What? That's where it sounded like you was going on. Anyway, no. I love Rome, for sure, but I love Yvette because I saw myself in her. Got you. Yes.

And I fixed your camera. Absolutely. I fixed your character. Okay. Now, Lauren, I see you got merch out right now, and I got merch, right? Yep. Sometimes the merch don't necessarily sell at my store. So the best place I put merch that sells pretty fast is eBay.

On the third party? Yes. And it goes, like, you like the process and stuff? Absolutely. It's one, two, three, and I guess people like the merch because it always sells out. I didn't even know that that was a thing. And, like, the checkout process and all that is smooth. It's very smooth.

And you got hoodies, you got T-shirts, and hats. Even though you gave me the wrong size, so I guess I got to go to eBay to get my size. When I figure out eBay, we will have everybody's sizes. Okay, we run small through 3X. But wait. So when you put it on eBay, right, do you get the notifications, like, as is selling of your store on? Absolutely. And then if I'm buying off eBay from, like, from the hoodie, like I don't have to bid on it. No, you can just buy it. You can buy it. You can buy it. You can make some extra cash by selling on eBay. You're trying to buy a house. So that's how you make the extra cash. Buying and selling on eBay has never been faster or easier. So, eBay, things people love, like my merch. Salute to Damani Harris for joining us this morning. The good brother, Damani, man. DeMani got a project out right now. It's called the Foreverlasting Tape.

Forever lasting tapes, man. Salute the Damani. Demani dope. Yeah, yeah. And he's been dope. And it's funny that, you know, people think that they might just be hearing him because of this whole kerfuffle that's going on. But the reality is he got a whole fan base. He does.

He got people that be coming to his shows. Like, you know, people rock with Demandum. Call him and everything. That's right. Well, you got a positive note? I do, man. And you know what made me think about this positive note this morning? I saw a video of the Honorable Minister Lewis Farrakhan pouring into the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

I think they said it was from, man, it wasn't too long ago. It was a couple weeks ago, maybe. But, no, it was last year. I'm sorry. Matter of fact, let me see when that date was. I want to be sure before I just talk out of turn. It was May 11th, 2025. And he was really just pouring into Reverend Jesse Jackson.

And, man, you know, just telling the Reverend Jesse Jackson. how much he meant to him as well as how much he meant to the world. And I was just looking at those two, you know, iconic brothers. And I just, you know, thought it is quote by Isaac Newton. And the quote is, if I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. We really had some giants on this planet whose soldiers that we stood on, man, and still stand on, even if they're not here physically.

So, yeah, that quote by Isaac Newton. And if I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. Have a great day. Breakfast club, bitches. We all finished or y'all done? woke up, woke up. Wake you up.
