Starting point is 00:02:37 Happy to be here. Another day to serve our beautiful listeners. Good morning. Good morning. Yes, we're still at home if you're watching us on Netflix. We're still homeschooling, y'all. We're still home. If you're watching us, yes, we're still home.
Starting point is 00:02:47 The weather is still homeschooling. Still pretty nasty. They're still plowing out the streets. It's still a frozen road. So, So hopefully we will be out today. So yeah, we're still broadcast for the crib. How's everything by you, Jess?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Everything cool. I'm still looking at these cars buried under this highway next to my building, but so good. You know, my kids had the nerve to order pizza yesterday. It took the pizza guy. Did it come? Yeah, it came four hours later. But they ordered pizza yesterday.
Starting point is 00:03:16 They were tired of dads cooking, so they ordered pizza. And it finally came. It came like four hours later. Pizza was cold and said we had the microwave it, though. But they did get their pizza yesterday. That's crazy. I tried to order yesterday. Everything was just available for pickup, not delivery.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Nobody was out in-jured. No, nobody out where I was at. What's up, Charlotte? Where were the Mexicans yesterday, man? Slu-to-all the Mexicans out there, man. They didn't pull up yesterday, man. I thought they was going to come get this money. They probably think it's a setup.
Starting point is 00:03:42 A setup for what? Ice. You go ice to try ice? No. Yes, they probably think the ice set them up for the ice. And they never plowed our street either. So I don't know what the hell is. going on. I would think that, you know, if
Starting point is 00:03:55 they knew a blizzard was coming, new or no Easter was coming, they'd be on deck as soon as things stopped. But no, it's not what happened. Well, I'm sure they'll do it this morning because the kids definitely do have school today. So it's a delayed opening, but they do have school. So they got to make sure the roads are clear for school buses, etc. So it will be
Starting point is 00:04:11 done this morning. You can't do it day up, because even when you come do it, day up, there's still, you know, things that we're going to have to do in the driveway. You know what I mean? That takes time. Okay. I had to go clean up a little bit of snow yesterday, and all I kept thinking about was, damn,
Starting point is 00:04:27 what about that poor individual who was out here shoveling snow and had a heart attack? Remember the last storm? Yeah, yeah. Every time there's a snowstorm or blizzard, they always say, be careful, because if you're older and you're not used to, I guess, doing cardio or workouts,
Starting point is 00:04:40 and you're lifting up that heavy snow, you can have an heart attack. Oh, see, I definitely am used to working out, but I thought it was just the cold. I thought it was, like, the cold and doing them heavy, strenuous activities in the cold that caused you to have a heart attack. And what is wrong with your camera?
Starting point is 00:04:55 I didn't see every pimple that's not on your forehead right now. Like, it's crazy. Yo, your camera keeps going closer to your head and closer to your head and closer to your head and your backs up. Oh, man, I don't know how it's doing that. My camera is not moving. I ain't touching my camera. He's talking about me. No, that would be not even talking.
Starting point is 00:05:15 See, that's what he'd be getting. As soon as you start talking and you know what I'm saying, and trying to criticize somebody, his dumb-ass camera is not because he's on mute. And he clearly on mute because we can see he's on mute. You see his microphone. says mute. Hey, dumb, dumb. Yeah, a little red re-ree.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Shut up, I did, by accident. Let's get the show cracking. Who came out with your camera? Soon as he said that, his dumb-ass camera goes out. Ain't nothing wrong with my camera. My camera. Now you're good. Now you're good.
Starting point is 00:05:37 All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Mimi Brown will be joining us. It don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:05:44 It's DJ NV. Jess Alari. Sholomey, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, NV. Jolomey.
Starting point is 00:05:55 doing this morning. Mimi Brown. Good morning. Good morning. So we start this morning overseas where an Olympic gold celebration is now sparking questions here at home and it involves the FBI. So director Cash Patel, he is facing criticism over his presence at that celebration and whether it was appropriate during a busy and sensitive time for federal law enforcement. So video shows Patel inside the team USA locker room in Italy after the U.S. men hockey team they won Olympic gold. It was the first time in nearly 50 years. Now, he's seen cheering with the players, drinking beer, and just enjoying that celebration. Now, Patel says he was honored to be there and that the trip have been planned months in advance, but flight record show he traveled to Italy on a government aircraft.
Starting point is 00:06:42 And the FBI says the visit was official that it was tied to security coordination and meetings with Italian law enforcement, but still some democratic lawmakers, they say the optics are concerning and questioning whether taxpayer dollars were used for what appeared to be a celebratory stop. Let's listen to some of that locker room celebration and a call that the team took from President Trump during the moment. We're giving the state of the union's speech on Tuesday night. I could send the military plan or something. If you would like to, it's the coolest night. It's the biggest.
Starting point is 00:07:19 We're in. When you pick us up in Miami on Tuesday morning? We'll get the cash and we'll get the military to get you guys over there. Let's go. That's correct. I mean, our taxpayer dollars would definitely use, you know, for that trip. But, I mean, what is anybody going to do about it? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Complain. So, yeah, so state of the union addresses tonight. The men's hockey team may or may not be in attendance, we will see. But the president did extend that invitation to them. Former FBI director, Andrew McCabe, he is also criticizing Patel's appearance, and he says it was inappropriate and that it sends a wrong message. Let's listen to what he had to say. What are his reasons? The video is ridiculous and was completely inappropriate for him to be engaging, to go at all. Let's be honest. The excuse that he had to go for security meetings, the day before the games are over, is patently ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Horrible, horrible message to the FBI rank and file and a horrible, message to the country when the FBI is in the middle of such incredibly important investigations, everything from the notorious kidnapping, now on its fourth week of Nancy Guthrie, all the way to we may be on the brink of war with Iran. Yeah, so this is not Patel's first time he's been questioned. Democratic lawmakers, they've launched an investigation into his use of FBI resources and the reviewing reports that he used the FBI's private jet for trips that appeared personal flying to see his girlfriend performed. She's a country music singer
Starting point is 00:08:53 and some flights that lawmakers have described as date nights and other leisure travel like golf and hunting trips and lawmakers Who's his girlfriend? I forgot her name Jess, but she is a country music yeah, we'll look her up. But lawmakers, they want flight records and they want
Starting point is 00:09:12 expense details because they say every time that jet goes up in the sky is $5,000 an hour to operate. Yeah, they said $100,000 to Milan. And most people, if you take a trip and it's not business related, you've got to pay that out your pocket, right? So he should have to pay that out his pocket. Who's going to check them, boo?
Starting point is 00:09:29 Like, what you're going to do? Call his boss and complain? His boss is offering the military jet to take the hockey team to the D.C. tonight. So what are we talking about? Yeah, so that's a good question. So we'll see how this one plays out. I think we all know the answer to that, though. And really quickly,
Starting point is 00:09:47 After losing at the Supreme Court over terrorists, President Trump, he is now turning his focus to another major case, birthright citizenship. So the 14th Amendment, it says anyone born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction is a U.S. citizen. And that's been the law for more than 100 years. So if you were born here, you are a citizen, and that comes with very limited exceptions. And President Trump, though, he is arguing that that interpretation, it is too broad, it is too loose. And he's now publicly urging the justices not to make what he says is called. quote, the wrong decision. He says the amendment was originally intended to guarantee citizenship to slaves after the
Starting point is 00:10:25 Civil War, not for children born to undocumented immigrants or people who are temporarily in this country on work visas and such. So his administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow a policy that would end that for those children. The lower courts, they have already blocked that. And the Supreme Court, though, is scheduled to hear those arguments on April 1st. So, yes. We will see what happens with that.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And coming up at 7 is your timeline being manipulated. A new report says fake accounts may have boosted a major celebrities political post. We'll talk about it in the next hour. All right. And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, you need to get some things off your chest. Call us up right now.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Phone lines are wide open. 800-58-105-105-1. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is your. We're time to get it off your chest. Chief calling. 800-585-105-1.
Starting point is 00:11:20 We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this? What's going on? What's going on? This is a big end-dog, ex. What's going on, brother? What's up, Mr. What's up, Mr. President?
Starting point is 00:11:31 Man, taxes, brother, I'm sick of these taxes. Payroll tax. Death tax. Estate taxes. It's just too much. It's overwhelming. If we had a decision to make as far as where our tax dollars went, that would be one thing.
Starting point is 00:11:43 But they just take them and send them everywhere all over the world, different countries, and we have no stakes of whatsoever. And it's just exhausting and overwhelming. That's what I had to get off my chest, brother. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I believe that black people, for our reparations, we shouldn't have to pay any type of taxes whatsoever for 200%.
Starting point is 00:11:59 That would be the great equalized. Some people want to press down on reparations. I understand that. But it was something more flowing that, that are not allowed us to actually engage in some type of reparations. That would make perfect sense to me. You know what I'm saying? Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:12:14 That was on my chest, brother. Just think about it. Your tax dollars just paid for Patel's flight from New York to Milan, $100,000, you know me? That's what had me hot, man. We have no control of anything. That is not fair. And all Americans should out be raised. Not for African Americans, all Americans.
Starting point is 00:12:31 We begin taking advantage of African Americans in particular because, you know, affects our bottom line much more in a lot of different ways. But, yeah, I agree wholeheartedly, man. It's just tough to watch our tax dollars flow out of the window to foreign countries, and we have no control over these entities whatsoever. You absolutely right, my brother. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Hey, MV, this is Derek from Jersey. How are you doing this morning? What's up, brother? What part of yours? I'm in Essex County. Okay, how to weather over there, how to snow? Snow is not melting yet. I mean, did they plow you out, man?

What's the disability, if you don't mind us asking? It's interesting you brought that out. I'm actually suffering from heart-related issues.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I wish I could hook up with your guy, Dr. Kumar, if you can give me a full burke up. But I've been dealing with this disability for over 10 years. But, you know, be nice to have a second opinion or something like that. Why can't you? Reach out to Soren Medical, man. Tell him, tell him we sent you. Tell him Breakfast Club sent you.

Starting point is 00:13:47 I turned 52. Just wanted to have a birthday. Congratulations, brother. Yeah, seeing another year into this life, God bless me. They told me I wasn't going to make it for some time, but I'm still here. That's right. Well, God bless you. Happy birthday, brother.
Starting point is 00:14:03 What do you do when you're 51 and you got heart issues? You're just happy to be alive, right? Because you can't do nothing that actually impacts your heart, like have a drink, eat some fried foods. You're alive. That's the thing that you're alive. You're alive. Makes you feel good. That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Salaman. Izzy, what up?

Starting point is 00:14:47 is this a breakfast club, but a Trump club? Like, every morning, it's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Because Trump is the president of the United States of America, sir, and we report on news. And he's got the state of the union tonight at 9 o'clock. So if you're really tired of Trump, you're really not, you're going to be tired of all news outlets tomorrow. And also, do you only listen to Breakfast Club?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Because there's not a news outlet in the world that doesn't talk about the president every day, sir. Nah, but y'all be ODing, though. Like, there's other issues in the world. Like, I mean, like, y'all, y'all, like all day. Trump, Trump. All day.
Starting point is 00:15:17 There's other issues in the world, even though we're talking about the president of the United States of America, who affects a majority of those issues in the world. So, Shalomere, you from the 843, right? 803, right? Yes, sir. Why don't hear you talk about Linda Davis?
Starting point is 00:15:29 Because we're a nationally syndicated radio show. Like, we talk about some local issues every now and then, but for the most part, we're a nationally syndicated radio show. So we talk about national issues. So what's going on in Mexico that trumps the FBI going to to Olympic game? Like, that's, like, that's, like, that's, is it that serious? Yes, that's our taxpayer dollars paying for, that's our taxpayer dollars paying for our
Starting point is 00:15:50 taxpayer dollars, me, you and everybody listening, paying for a FBI director to go to an Olympic game. No, I just think, y'all, like, the source magazine of politics.

Starting point is 00:17:38 I had a great weekend, though. That's what's up. You're still having it because you stuck in Miami. No, it's cold down here. It's freezing in Miami. We're supposed to feel bad for you. We just got 18 inches of snow. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:50 I'm not on the level that you're on, but it is not go lay by the beach anymore weather. Like, we are cold down here, coats, bubble coats on. What, Callie didn't see in shadow or something? I don't know. I don't know what's going down, but I'm ready to come home. I'd rather be cold at home. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:06 All right. Well, we got the ladies coming up. What are we talking about? We do. John Davis and the men with threats. that Charlemagne gave Dunkin the day to yesterday. He asked some more words. So we're going to get into what those words were.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Damn. He responded to Charlemagne will be hilarious. Wow. We're going to talk about what the response was to. We're going to get to me. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the source is most. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Good morning. The little brown girls look at you. you and go i want to be like you take me through that take me through that
Starting point is 00:18:44 who she's going the latest with larno loz on the breakfast club l l l lube talk to me hey y'all hey girl hello coobey all right so uh nothing i'm here still in miami but i'm on my way back soon today hopefully um yeah so all right let's yesterday i wasn't here but i saw that you guys it talked about everything that happened at the bafta uh film awards and after you you guys talked about it after charlemagne gave his donkey today i saw uh that john davidson who is the
Starting point is 00:19:17 man with turettes who shouted out the inward uh when michael b jordan and delroy lindo were presenting the award he issued a statement he broke his silence yesterday and when i saw that headline i was like okay someone is going to finally directly apologize and you know that's going to happen there's going to be something here so he released a statement yesterday that said i wanted to thank bafta and everyone involved in the awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend the broadcast. I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of the recording, warning everyone that my tics, I'm sorry, are involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs. I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement
Starting point is 00:19:55 and felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me. In addition to the announcement by Alan Cumming, who was the host, the BBC and BFTA, I can only add that I am and always have been deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary ticks to be intentional or to carry any meaning. I have spent my life trying to support and empower the Tourette's community and to teach empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so. He says that he chose to leave the auditorium early into the ceremony as he was aware of the distress that his ticks were causing other people that were there. And see, and that's what I don't understand, right? That last line you said, because I stand on the
Starting point is 00:20:34 fact that Bafta shouldn't even have had him there. If he has this condition that causes him to say socially inappropriate words, then don't invite them to this event. Because if there was someone who had some type of, you know, a psychological condition that caused them to physically attack people, I guarantee they wouldn't have them there. So John Davidson should get the same treatment. Well, you know, not only that,
Starting point is 00:20:54 but even after the first time, after the first time it happened, maybe they should have stepped in and said, you know what, let's walk him out. Because maybe they didn't know how bad it was. Maybe they didn't know what's going on. So you give them that grace. But once it started to happen, you say, you know what, let's... Somebody in a room at some point has to like,
Starting point is 00:21:09 even if it's not there. them like has to step in because one of the times. Canadian women are looking for more.

What do you do in the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you?
Starting point is 00:21:50 I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story.
Starting point is 00:22:07 We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore, loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, fake when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most
Starting point is 00:22:47 mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:23:25 This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK. evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies
Starting point is 00:23:51 is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppie. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Leppie. We follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived in to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was.
Starting point is 00:24:24 No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It happened. She said on X that one of the times it happened, and she's a black woman, that it was hurled at her. And she's, I mean, now she's just, she's nominee. She's receiving an award, and she just has to be there in this show. And you're here.
Starting point is 00:24:57 People are here in this happen. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. And then they are aware. He's been aware of his coerlo, whatever the, you know, the part of Tourette's is. What's it called? Coprolalia? Coprolalia.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah. He's aware of that. And whoever his handler is, I mean, I know he went there by itself. They know what he's capable of. You know what I mean? So like Charlotte said, he shouldn't even have been there. Or, all right, if y'all want to give him a chance to be there, the first time he shouts something to fence about, remove his ass.
Starting point is 00:25:23 That's just it. Yeah, even before, I mean, yeah, 100%. Now, one of the things, too, that I saw yesterday, because I reached out to BAFTA, because what I didn't see a conversation about was what direct conversation did you guys, BAFTA, whoever had with Michael B. Jordan and Del Rilanda. I saw that they issued, you know, this very general apology.
Starting point is 00:25:42 right but nothing else. So Del Rilendo was talking to Vanity Fair magazine following the award show and he said that he wishes a representative for the awards body had reached out to him and Michael B. Jordan after the N word was shouted out as they presented that award on stage. And then he just reflects on getting through the moment and he said, we did what we had to do, talking about the fact that you saw them take the pause, gather themselves and continue to just finish what they were there to do.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And he still didn't apologize. I'm sorry, he still didn't apologize. Regardless of what happened, regardless of his tick, regardless of his disorder, he knew he did something wrong. He knew it was foul. And the proper thing to do was like say, hey, I can't control this. I apologize if it offended you. I apologize for saying the words that I said. Like, an apology should have been in.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And Baptist should apologize for not editing it out because I don't understand how you edit out. You edit out somebody saying Free Palestine. They said they edited out, you know, some, I think some other things that John Davidson said, but you chose to leave that particular nigger in there. Why? Were you just trying to promote that movie, I swear, which is based on John Davidson Life? I'm just trying to figure out, you know, what was the reasoning and the logic behind leaving
Starting point is 00:26:52 that N-word in there and editing out other things? Yeah, I don't know, but when I was watching this yesterday, coming off the cruise that I was on, because it was like, it was like a thousand plus black women there, and it was like such a great vibe. And you know, you know how you feel when you leave those type of things like, yes, we got this. You know what I mean? a bunch of black women walking off a boat
Starting point is 00:27:12 and somebody just yelled, niggas, that's triggering. Like, that's great. You all already getting off of a boat. You see what I'm saying? I'm just so tired of black being synonymous with empathy and disrespect and like,
Starting point is 00:27:24 we have to like do what we got to do to get through. When I saw the, uh, Delo Lindo say that, like we just did what we had to do. I'm like, man, like at what point do we,
Starting point is 00:27:34 uh, essence did this really good breakdown about that. Um, just about the accountability that should have been taken and not just directly pointed to intention because, because everybody is going to look at, you know, Davidson's intention a different way, regardless of what he, you know, suffers from. I stand on the fact that Bafta shouldn't even have invited him.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Sorry, if you have that type of condition that caused you to say inappropriate words, then just don't have him at the event. Like, it's really just that simple. It's just that simple. Yes. Well, that is the latest for this hour, guys. All right, wait, I mean, I still got a little bit of time. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:08 So yesterday, yesterday, too, I saw that Netflix, announced a fight. Manny Pachial and Floyd Mayweather is happening again. I told y'all this yesterday. I told you. I told you all this yesterday. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:21 When I saw him announce that he was coming out of retirement after the Mike Tyson fight, see, clearly he needs some bread and I was like it's going to be him and Manny Pachia. What does that fight work though? That's the only fight that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:28:33 What does that fight worth? I mean, I'm going to see it. I'm not going to say, I'm not anticipating it. It's not like something I want, but I mean, I'm going to watch it, because I'm a boxing fan. You know, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:42 It's on Netflix. Yeah, it's coming out on September 19th on Netflix. But it's crazy to me that people now with Floyd's fights, it's just like, oh, yeah, we're going to tune in because that's how they're doing his fight with Mike Tyson, too.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Like, people are not. He's like, no hype. Yeah. Like, more than to speak around. He's 40 years old. The Tyson's 49. And it's his birthday today. So, happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:29:06 It's his birthday. It's his birthday. 409. Dang. So, give him a little empathy today, Charlie, you called him a brooky yesterday? I was like, wow. I did not say he was a brooky out.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Basically, you said that he needs the money. It's clearly a money issue. What other reason would Floyd Mayweather want to fight at 49 years old? I think people want to see the Pachial fight. The Mike Tyson fight, I don't think anybody cares. I think people would want to see the Pachial. I saw this announcement yesterday, and it was not. He don't need to go shopping the day for his birthday.
Starting point is 00:29:37 She just cooked in at home, spent time with his little grandson. Happy 49th, you know. I want to know why Envy thinks people would want to see Mani Pachial Floyd Mayweather rematch in 2006. Why? I'll tell you why. Because it's an official fight and it's on his record. He has this beautiful record of 50 and 0,
Starting point is 00:29:53 and it's a chance that he could mess this record up by losing one fight and it won't be the top of the top, Lecrem Le Crem. So I think people are interested to see in this fight. Who would y'all want to see him fight? Nobody. Father time. Father time.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I want to continue to see him battle against Father time. That's why nobody. I don't want to see he's 15, no, I don't want to see me back in that ring. Yeah. Am I going to watch it? Yes, because it's entertainment, it's content. It'll be on Netflix, and we all got Netflix. But no, I'm not, I don't, I don't, not interested in Floyd Mayweiler coming back to the ring.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I would see that fight. I don't want to see the Tyson fight. The Tyson fight I could care less about, honestly. That's crazy. If he loses a fight at this point, is that, like, news that's going to stay? I mean, we'll have to talk about it, but, like, is it going to be like, oh, my God, I don't think. That'll be on his record. That'll be a stay on his record, but, like, will it stop the world?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Like I feel like his fight his fights used to literally like everybody was like okay No hype about it I feel like that about boxing anyway I feel like no fight really actually gets the the promo it used to get like it's not as Tavit Javis I feel like used to have that effect on people they used to fly in from every yeah well maybe because I'm from Delaware and I'm in that like Delaware jersey bottom or whatever but I know people would go everywhere to support him If you're a boxing fan, the last big boxing super fight was Canelo Alvarez versus Terrence Budcroft. And that was the last super fight. Well, they're saying Javonte might get back in the ring. One of his managers was saying that there's a fight being playing right under our noses. He got a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I don't know how that all comes down. And also, I want the record to show, you know, a lot of times when you saw Manny Packay out still fighting after the fact, it was because he was having money issues too. So a lot of times when you see these fighters get back in the ring at these older ages, man, It's not because they're scratching the itch. It's because, you know, they're going to pay the bills. Exactly. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Well, that is the latest with Laura. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Mimi Brown will be joining us. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess hilarious.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Shalermaine Nagar. We are the breakfast club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good. Good. Good. Good.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Good. Good morning. So we're going to talk more political news this hour. A new exclusive report from political, it is raising questions about how some political messages are spreading online. So the report, it focuses on rapper Nikki Minaj, who over the past year has become increasingly vocal on conservative politics, praising President Trump, criticizing Democratic leaders, and appearing at events aligning with the MAGA movement. Now, her posts generate millions of views, but according to a new analysis by Sireb, that's a company that tracks online body. activity, it found that more than 18,000 accounts that amplified Minaj's political posts were
Starting point is 00:32:42 identified as vots or accounts that showed signs of being fake. So basically, many of the accounts amplifying her political content may not have been real people. Now, the data company that investigates this, they said those accounts, they repeatedly posted short, similar praise under her post, helping push the content further into your social media algorithm. The report does not say that Manage created the boss or directed them. It only focuses on the amplification surrounding the account activity.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Now, Menage's representatives, they did not respond to request for comment. And a close Trump advisor to Manage, he is dismissing those findings and he defended her online and saying that she has a large online reach and basically accusing this
Starting point is 00:33:29 of being a political attack against her. Yeah, there are people who get paid to push false narratives about political opposition. There are people who get paid to push messaging for political parties and anyone who they feel has political influence they even use
Starting point is 00:33:45 bots to attack them. And it's funny yesterday that that article came out while they were actively doing the campaign against Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom. Yeah. And we've heard about this right, during the whole Russian interference situation and that's when we first really learned about the bots. But as a debate over that gained attention, there was another name in hip-hop that suddenly
Starting point is 00:34:05 got pulled into the conversation. I'm talking about Cardi B. So that same Trump advisor, he claimed that a journalist who shared the bot findings is partnered with Cardi B's agent and suggesting that, you know, somehow she was involved. And Cardi, she is denying any connection to the journalist, the report, the data company behind the analysis, and she called the accusations false, defamatory, and she says she plans to sue. But also, here's what's important to point out that Cardi has not been mentioned in the report. she's not linked to the bot data. There's no proof that she had anything to do with it.
Starting point is 00:34:37 The analysis just literally centers around Nikki Minaj and her account activity. And what's the guy's name, Alex Brousselwich, right? Yes, yes. That is the same. He said that Cardi's agency was pushing, was behind that company, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Talk to that back in. Cardi was like she had nothing to do with it, yep. That's not just Cardi's agency. That's a bunch of people's agency, including Little Wayne. So I don't understand, you know, what the agency being behind that company has to do with anything
Starting point is 00:35:11 because they're a company. They represent a whole bunch of people. Right. Yeah. So just a lot of, you know, just information going on. It was a really interesting article. It was on Politico.
Starting point is 00:35:20 If you want to read it for yourself, it was an exclusive from political. It was really, really interesting. And lastly, let's talk really quick about the one place that everyone goes and that is to the grocery store because in this economy where you shop says a lot about how you are managing
Starting point is 00:35:32 your money. So a new report from the American Customer Satisfaction Index, they surveyed more than 30,000 shoppers. They didn't ask about just prices. They looked at, you know, freshness, produce, clingliness, store layout, speed, and overall value. So the headline is the overall satisfaction with grocery stores really dropped this year. And it tells you that some shoppers are feeling pressure. So consumers were asked to rank grocery stores based on those categories. And Trader Joe's, it topped the list. Shoppers gave it high marks for consistency, strong quality, cleanness, fast checkout, and prices that feel fair for what you're getting. And on the flip side, stores like Walmart, they fell below industry average.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Albertson's Giant Eagle, they came in lower. And meanwhile, this was like really the headline. The discount chain save a lot. It actually improved. So that tells us that price matters and that shoppers are leaning in where they feel like their dollar is getting stretched more because, you know, in this economy, it's affordability. Right. It's the deciding factor. And they said that people are just doing the math and the aisles. And they're comparing totals and they're making tradeoffs between brand names and store names.
Starting point is 00:36:41 And stores like Save a Lot and those discount stores are really where people are finding that they can stretch their dollar. Yo, Save a Lot used to be the jam. Like, remember Murray Steakhouse and all them, too, y'all? Y'all don't know about that. I used to steal from Save a Lot? No, I never stole from the market, only the retail stores. No, so yeah, but the market's not. like save a lot shoppers jons here you all remember none of that oh that's just east coast that's just

You know what's also interesting about that, man. Sometimes it's about saving money. Sometimes it's about just like what grocery store you actually love going to. Like what I was little, I used to love going in Food Line.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Because, you know, you could go in there with a couple of dollars and get you, you know, a 99-cent pack of little Debbie's, you know, $1.4 plus tax and get you a big three-liter, you know, generic store brand sold in 99 cents, dollar four-plus tax. And now as an adult, I like going to like Wegmans. You know, Wegmans ain't the cheapest. No, Wegmans ain't at all. But it's just something about Wegmans. I just like actually being in Wegmans. Well, let's go to the cookie aisle. Well, let's go to the phone lines.

Now, if you're just joining us, we open up the phone line to 800-585105-1. Mimi Brown during Front Page News was talking about some of the places people go to spend money
Starting point is 00:39:28 and save money on groceries. which opened up this, we actually have a clip of it. Let's play it. A new report from the American Customer Satisfaction Index. They surveyed more than 30,000 shoppers. They didn't ask about just prices. They looked at, you know, freshness, produce, cleanliness, store layout, speed, and overall value. So consumers were asked to rank grocery stores based on those categories. And Trader Joe's, it topped the list.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Now, shoppers gave it high marks for consistency, strong quality, cleanness, fast checkout, and prices that feel fair for what you're getting. And on the flip side, stores like Walmart, they fell below industry average. Albertson's Giant Eagle, they came in lower. And meanwhile, this was like really the headline. The discount chain save a lot. It actually improved.
Starting point is 00:40:15 So that tells us that price matters. So we're asking 800-585-105-105-1, where do you go to save some money? Salomein, I know you're talking about food line. Oh, no, I'm talking about, you know, back in the day, I don't do the grocery shopping, you know, back in the day, I used to like to go to Food Lion because I could go in there with $3, $4, $4,000, and get me a 12 pack of oatmeal cream pies.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Okay, Little Debbie's for $99 a $0.99 plus tax, and I could get me a big 3-liter food Lion brand drink. I'm about to say soda, but I don't know if that was soda. I could go get me a big three-liter bottle of soda for $99, which was also a dollar for, and I would have a couple quarters left over to play street fighter or something. But that don't have nothing to do with my adult life. I have no idea. And what about you, Jess?
Starting point is 00:41:02 Yeah, so back in the day, I used to go to, we used to go to stop shopping, save, save a lot, Murray Steakhouse, and shoppers. Now I go to Acme, all these food line and Weez. I like Weis, but Acme, Weis is not up here. We is in, some people call it Wise, but that's crazy. But I go to Wise when I'm in Maryland, but up here, Acme. Acme is really, really good. They always got sales. And if you download the ad, you can get all types of, like, coupons and discounts and stuff on, you know, stuff you need, like eggs and cheese and meat.
Starting point is 00:41:37 You got to be careful with Acme in a lot of those places because a lot of times they give discounts on things that are expired. So you definitely got to check the dates because that's happened a bunch of times. Well, it don't matter what you put some heat to it. When you put some heat to it, you know what I'm saying? You cook out all adjourned. My wife just texted me and say, ShopRite is where she goes to save money. ShopRite is her goal. to.
Starting point is 00:41:58 That's one of you. I don't know why I ain't thinking that. I could always see the yellow plastic bags upstairs. Yeah, shopwright is a place. But when I was a kid, it was A&P and Walbounds. Wallbounds was the place where it was like the local grocery where you ain't have to go far. And of course, if you're in New York, you know, you go to the local bodega, corner store, and you give whatever you need quickly.
Starting point is 00:42:16 But the biggest place where I used to go all the time is BJ's and Costco. I know you did. Oh, you love me. Grow up. Did you give them or did you go to it? Grow up. You're an idiot. Hello.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Also. And shout out, salute to Pigler Wiggly, man. You know what I'm saying? Not only is Pigler Wiggly one of the greatest grocery stores of all time. The hot bar and Pigler Wiggly? Sh-Hi. You'll get you some good eating in Pigler Wiggly. You hear me.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You might fool around to get some chicken gizzards, man. Oh, my gosh, disgusting. But, yeah, but. Disgusting. BJ's is where you go because that's where you can get bulk of things. And BJ's the bar. Heavy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:55 What's wrong with y'all? I'm actually going to. I'm going to BJs after the show today. I know you are. Oh, my goodness. You know what? I don't threaten DJ Envy with a good time. You know what?

Starting point is 00:43:18 But the catch is, Dollar General gives your coupon throughout the week for $5, $10 dollars off. $5 off for $25? and $10 off of $40 purchase. So what I do is on Saturdays, I take Marquis farms and go to food flying and Dollar General, and I only spend $25 at a time. Yeah, I think people sleep on Dollar General,
Starting point is 00:43:39 but Dollar General got all your basic necessities. They have your eggs, you know what I'm saying? They have your milk. Yeah, actually Dollar General now in North Carolina, they're doing like a little grocery market. So everything the grocery store has, you can kind of have it a Dollar General. And they're like corner stores.

And, you know, if you use the app, if you use the app for Costco and BJ's, one, you ain't got to clip coupons because the coupons is already included.

You could pay right there in the phone and walk right out. and they'll check you a couple of items and you're good. That's VAs and Costco how to add. You're a different type of freak when you got a coupon for a P. That's crazy. No, you're a free to you. You're asking for a good wine.
Starting point is 00:47:06 They go and lock this room and take you back there and get you a wine. No, they do at wet because Wegman's got a good wine selection. So they got the Caymus and the Silver Oak out. But then when you ask for other stuff, they take you in the back to. Wegman's be having it all. I ain't going to front. Wex salute the wedding. It is very refreshing hearing Grooman talk about, you know, their love for the grocery stores.

Starting point is 00:51:05 What do you do in the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore, loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, fake when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out.
Starting point is 00:51:54 If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story?
Starting point is 00:52:36 The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Lettby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing. of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And I just sat down with a mini-driver. The Irish traveler said when I was 16, going to have a terrible time with men. Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives, and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood. A son and Venus and Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership.
Starting point is 00:53:47 He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses, in different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want to chart side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life, this episode is a must listen. Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast. If it's A, yeah, so that store is really, really good as far as like saving money. I only go there for, like, my bakery items and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:54:25 But how have y'all been? Good. Thank you. How are you, sir? I'm good. I'm good. I'm just chilling, listening to my favorite morning show in the whole wide world. And congratulations.
Starting point is 00:54:34 We are now on Netflix. That's so good. Yes, we are, sir. Y'all have a good day. Thank you, Stacy. Hello, who's this? Everybody, what's up, y'all? Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:54:47 You can't make me what. What's up, baby? What's up, Dave? What's up, Dave, baby? Back to back cheek clapers Come on now Where you were asking Where you go get your groceries
Starting point is 00:54:58 Listen I love you a good quality meat So I go to fresh grocer And fresh grocery Got them good quality meat And I be fingering through them Like trying to find the good prices And I just bought
Starting point is 00:55:12 I made me some turkey neck I love me a good turkey neck too And I made me some turkey neck last night And fresh grocery is one of my favorite stores To go to get some good quality meat. Now Travis is calling from Philadelphia, so that must be a Philly thing. Yeah, fresh bro-stress a Philly
Starting point is 00:55:26 thing. I do want to say, I used to go to Acme, but Agney, that means it's too expensive. And I don't like... Yeah, Acme would be over here, overcharging. Damn. You ever been to BJs? Yeah, so BJ's like Costco and stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:42 So that's a little... I live alone, so I don't need to buy, like, a bunch of stuff in bulk. Yeah, hell don't need BJs. He don't do the BJs in bulk, Envy. Nah, he needs me. meat weekly. I'll need it in bulk. But I did go to shit. So normally shop right is another
Starting point is 00:55:56 good one, but during the snowstorm, it was two packs in there. So I had to go to Acme the other day, because there was a little bit more clearer in there to be more expensive. Shop right is the one. Shop right is definitely good. Shop right is the one. Shop right is definitely the one. I think that's the one that we all can agree on, especially
Starting point is 00:56:12 if you live, you know, in the up north area. I know you love a good quality meat, too, sir. I know you love a good quality meat. Well, I'm only on chickens and turkeys right now. I cut out red meat. That's still meat. He'll go chicken sauces.
Starting point is 00:56:27 His thing is chicken sauces. Thank you. Meat is meat. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is, man, two things about grocery stores. Number one, you want to be in one that saves you some money. But two, you want to be in one that actually makes you feel good. Like some of these stores, man, just mentally and emotionally make me feel good.
Starting point is 00:56:46 When I see a piglo-wigly, when I see a food line, it brings you. me joy. When I see, I don't even, I didn't know the last time I seen a Bilo, but when you see these stores, it makes you feel good because you just remember the good times that you used to have. That's right. As a kid. Shout out for me and BJs.
Starting point is 00:57:04 In Baltimore, we got a store called Walmart and you can get anything you want there, so just, you know, shout out the Wilmot. If you're in the Baltimore, all right, go check out Wilmot, you know what I'm saying. That's not like that. That is to McDonald's, what McDonald's, what that's not like.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Okay, and nobody was complaining about McDowell's and coming to America, right? Because that was good. Nobody saluted Walmart to Walmart to Walmart. I was going to say, what more to Target? Nobody said they go there. Walmart or Target. Target high as hell. What are you talking about Target?
Starting point is 00:57:32 I don't go to Target for no groceries. Walmart. And Jamar Bryant would be so disappointed in you knowing that you still go to Target, but they've been new you with a sellout envy. I said I'm surprised I didn't hear nobody else. I'll tell you, I go to BJ. No, no, no. I know what you do.

Starting point is 00:59:23 T.I mentions 50 cent and all the drama with Murder Inc. Let's take a listen to that. I hate to let the nigger an inch in my life, but I get this ass case to solve about a mission in my wife. You hate women get there why you can't keep one. You can't love one come from your mama, you receive none. Oh no, you rather set fires to housing with babies in them. I got paperwork from the in prison.

Starting point is 00:59:56 Full of bullet hole. Yeah, T.I. He's not playing at all. So that was released through a couple outlets, so a couple of stations, and I saw a couple outlets get this exclusively yesterday. Yeah, I love hearing T.I. He's in my top seven favorite rappers of all time,
Starting point is 01:00:12 but I don't like hearing him in 50 go at it on no level because that's one of those ones. Yeah, that's just one of them ones that could get ugly. I'm not putting no fuel on that fire. There's no fuel to be on that fire. I mean, I love when T.I. Raps and I would love if 50 Rasp, but like Shara said, this is the one where you just hope that, I guess, cooler heads prevail because it can get there. And I'm 50, in my partner in real life, I don't, I don't, yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I can't put no fuel on that fire at all.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah, this is the one that. perform. I'm not encouraging none of the back and fall. Nothing. Yeah, because this will get there and we don't need to see that quickly too. Yeah. It's already there. I was going to say it's up.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Wow. Well, they haven't seen each other yet. They can get worse, though, is what I mean? Pressing everybody could add more fuel to it and like show him and say. Yeah, this one, this one will go. So let's just. You don't have to stay up. Well, 50 cent hasn't responded to this that I've seen yet.
Starting point is 01:01:10 So, you know, maybe this is the, it's going to end here. But we'll see what happens. I guess. I mean, 50 was replying with memes and stuff yesterday. He was definitely... Yeah, that's the thing. I don't think you're going to make no song. Yeah, he was...
Starting point is 01:01:21 And a lot of the memes have been back and forth with King, with T.I. Sun. They had, like, a little back and forth yesterday. But nothing directly to this song, though, is what I was mentioning. But speaking of clearing things up, or... I do. You know what, I do want to hear 50 rap. Not, not... And please, I don't want to hear 50 do a dish record back to T.I. But I do want to hit 50 rap.
Starting point is 01:01:40 I was thinking about this yesterday. I'm like, yeah, we haven't heard fish rap in a long time. well he just did a song he just did a song with chef g and uh what's the other homies name that got locked up he does songs the sleepy hollow the sleepy hollow yeah so
Starting point is 01:01:51 yeah so yeah it was it was a couple of months ago like maybe two months ago but I think he does songs when it comes to his shows like he'll do intros to his shows when it comes to something to his business but he just ain't doing it just to do it you got to be a reason people thought that
Starting point is 01:02:05 uh that you might hear something when all of the uh we asked son a young car murder about it when all of the the podcast beefs the back and forth were going on with uh Jim Jones, Mayne, or whatever, people thought we might hear 50 cent wrapped in, too, and it didn't happen, but.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Oh, how about that we looked that record up? I'm looking at it enough. 50 Chef G., Sleepy Hollow, and Jeremiah. Yeah, it came out of about a, maybe about a month ago. You know, Ed Sherry was actually in that hook, and then I don't know why they took Ed Sherrin'Rin off and put Jeremiah on it. He drops it all the time and puts it into things.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Like, he has a Brent Coneyak ad that he posted on his Instagram, and there's some music there as well, too. Yeah, he doesn't, when it makes sense. But like I said, what Sholomey was saying, not only, you know, Fifth and Ti, they all move around too much, right? Tiya be moving, Yale be moving,
Starting point is 01:02:46 murder be moving. We just don't want to see it get that way. Yes. Well, in other conversations, I know you guys talked about Simba yesterday and everything with him
Starting point is 01:02:55 in the game and the game being in his girls' DM. Well, Simba is now clearing it up. He responded to the conversation you guys had yesterday. Trying to clear this up. Let's take a listen to Simba.
Starting point is 01:03:04 I know y'all been seeing the conversation go viral about me and game. I said, bro, this is what y'all got out of this. This happened when I was in a serious whole phase. I used to come to the studio or the different girl every day
Starting point is 01:03:14 and be like, game, this is my girl. Game, this is my wife, game. So I didn't told this shit this shit so many times. By the time I told him about one I was serious about, he just thought it was another girl. So when he de-mender, I had to be like, nah, Chuck, that's my girl. Like, for real, my baby mom.
Starting point is 01:03:30 He's like, oh, my bad shit, I ain't know. You know what I'm saying? So I don't want everybody to think my n-uh was a piece of shit. You know what I'm saying? Nothing like that. Because it wasn't like that at all. See, somebody didn't say that point yesterday. I didn't hear the whole All the Smoke interview
Starting point is 01:03:47 So I don't know if he added that context or not You know what I just heard that clip We went back and listen Because I'm like well did he say this before And people took it out of context or he didn't And in the original conversation When he walks into the interview he's like y'all I'm finally not hiding my girlfriend anymore
Starting point is 01:04:00 And then they talk about how Hollywood gets like crazy It gets nasty with like when you put your significant other out there And then he goes into the conversation So people took it from what they could take from it And but I mean But not but did he But did he say what he just said? No, all he said is what I just said.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Yeah, no, he didn't say it in the original clip. But, I mean, he's standing it up, so everybody out there. That conversation requires some context because, you know, you have the game out here looking crazy. Like, people will be looking at the game. Like, damn, don't leave your girl around the game. Like, the game, he got to lay in his brothers. You can't, you got to put some context to that symbol. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Game said he would never, because I think he hit me. I think he hit Jesse. He hit Charleney yesterday. Because he looked crazy. He was like he would never. but he's like it didn't happen like that. Man, and I'm up there talking about I'm not surprised because on his reality show,
Starting point is 01:04:48 he was nacking niggas, bitches left and right. Like, I'm just, man. You said you spoke to me yesterday? What did he say, Shala? No, we were just talking. We were talking about a lot of other stuff but didn't that too. But yes, we got to take the flag back, man.

Man, for after the hour, we need a woman named Allison Friedman to come to the front of the congregation.
Starting point is 01:06:00 She must suffer from Corporal La Leia as well. We'll discuss. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. With a donkey. It's time the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:06:11 A bunch of donkeys around here. With the he-hop? Yes, you are a donkey. What the hell? What the hell is it? What more do you need you, donkey today's just saw themselves. Charlemagne, give it to him. Breakfast club all day.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Give it to him. Oh, man, Charlemagne, who you giving don't get to me? Well, Rob 49. Donkey here today for Tuesday, February 24th, goes to a hunter college professor. named Allison Friedman. Now, Allison might have Coprolalia, okay, Coprolalia, okay?
Starting point is 01:06:49 We learned about this, what is it? Say it again? Coprolalia. There you go. It is the involuntary outbursts of obscene words are socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks.
Starting point is 01:07:00 We heard about this this weekend because of the BAFTA Awards. And according to the NY Post, she has sparked outrage after she was caught making a blatantly racist comment during a New York city public schools video meeting.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Listen, man, at some point, we are just going to have to realize that there is racist and bigots amongst us. It just is what it is. Okay, you know, some are open, some are closeted. And we keep making excuses for racist behavior. There are some people who will listen to me, give Allison donkey
Starting point is 01:07:29 at a day right now and say that I'm creating division. No, actually, I'm just reporting the news. Now, let me tell you what happened. Allison Friedman is an associate professor of biology at the Manhattan school, Manhattan CUNY school, and there was a young eighth grader, black, of course, who was raising concerns about her Upper West Side School, possibly facing a shutdown during a community
Starting point is 01:07:52 education council meeting. Well, Allison Friedman thought she was on mute, and she wasn't, and she had some things to say about black students. Would you like to hear what she had to say? Let's listen to Allison Friedman. I've been receiving these services since first grade. I attended for government. And two of the students on Friday, he delivers lessons and helps us fit those skills into our lessons. Like, they're just, they're two dogs and know they're in a bad school. I mean, apparently not the deep king said it. Like, if you train a black person well enough, they'll know to use the back.
Starting point is 01:08:29 You don't have to tell them anymore. Allison, free men, what you're saying is absolutely hearable here. You got to stop. You big dummy. Well, if you didn't hear what Allison said, she said, she said, They're too dumb talking about black students. They're too dumb to know they're in a bad school. Let's play it one more time.
Starting point is 01:08:49 She's talking in the background. So the student is talking. And Allison doesn't know that she's, you know, unmuted. Let's listen. I've been receiving these services since first grade. I attended the government and two other students on Friday. He delivers lessons and helps us fit those skills into our lessons. Like, they're just two dumb to know they're in about.
Starting point is 01:09:12 school. I mean, apparently Markle King said it. Like if you train a black person well enough, they'll know to use the back. You don't have to tell them anymore. Allison, free men. What you're saying is absolutely hearable here. You've got to stop. She said that black students, they're too dumb to know that they're in a bad school.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Well, Allison, you're too dumb to know your mic wasn't muted. But honestly, I don't think she cared. Okay, these people know they can be openly racist right now and nothing will happen. Right now as I speak, they're saying, Allison is being reviewed by her employer, but may keep her job thanks to her cushy tenure. I need my college professors and people in this world to help me out with this because as far as I know, tenure is an employment status commonly in teaching that provides security against dismissal without just cause. Racism, not a just cause?
Starting point is 01:10:06 Okay. Like Allison said, if you train a black person well enough, they'll know to use the back. you don't have to tell them anymore. She's basically saying, we will notice it in the back if we listen to Massa. And she was replying to a comment made by Reginald Higgins, who is the school's district interim acting superintendent, who was quoting Carter G. Woodson, Allison, not Martin Luther King.
Starting point is 01:10:27 If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told. And what bothers me about these situations is I know Michelle Obama says when they go low, we got to go high. But what's wrong with taking things to hell? Okay, my therapist told me that's healthy. Okay, it's not that you matching energies.
Starting point is 01:10:46 You just vitting two. Sometimes not replying to things like this is like holding in a fart. Now uncomfortable that is. Now I don't fart in my clothes, so I know how it feels the hole in a fart. But when we hear blatant acts of racism like this, we have to meet the devil. In this case, the white devil at the door. And it's not just black people, okay?
Starting point is 01:11:05 White people who aren't racist, when you hear these blatant acts of racism like this, you have to check it. Okay, you must use. your privilege to fight prejudice. I'm looking at y'all on the Zoom, sitting in shock. No, I want to hear white folks on the Zoom saying, Allison, you're racist bitch, okay?
Starting point is 01:11:20 And I want to see black people on the Zoom. Go to hell, okay? You got slurs, we got slurs too. You got disrespectful things to say about us. We got disrespectful things to say about y'all. Okay, I don't even expect the little eighth grader to have anything to say. They're only in eighth grade.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Adults, the village, are supposed to come to the defense of that young man in that moment. All right? You have to tell Allison Friedman that contrary to her, wishes. We are absolutely freed men and women. And we have the right to tell
Starting point is 01:11:45 her, okay, for a person with no lips, you sure got a lot to say. Okay, you can tell her that her worldview and her hair looks like it stopped updating in the 1950s. You can tell her that racism isn't an opinion. It's a failure to learn. And clearly, Allison, you don't
Starting point is 01:12:01 know a damn thing. Or you can just call her a milk cricket. Okay? Or you can just call her a human jar of helmets. Or you can just do this oldie-book goody. Cracker ass cracker. And say you got Copra La Leia. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Whatever works. There you go. All I know is when it comes to people like Allison, her worldview is dying, and she's mad. She can't take the rest of us to hell with her. Please let Kathy Griffin give Allison Friedman the biggest he-ha. Please give this giant jar of mail the biggest he-ha. Does Chelsea Handler want to give her the biggest he-ha as well? he-ha, he-ha!
Starting point is 01:12:41 That is way too much, Dan Manez. Has Chris Rockman taking his medicine, or he still got Copra-Lulia? Oh, what about my girl that worked at the dinah? She got Copra Lillia, too. Crackers! Yeah, man. Them tics, man. Them tics, man.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Cack-ass, crackle-a. That's the tics, it's he. Cobra-Lia, man. That's crazy. Well, thank you for that don't get a day, sir. Yes, indeed. So the question is, she lose her job. Yeah, because right now she's under review.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Damn right. She's losing a job. Let's open up the phone lines. And I don't even know what that means. It says she's under review, but because of her cushy tenure, that's what the New York Post is saying. Because of her cushy tenure, she's not going to lose her job. I don't know what cushy tenure means. So all the educators and everybody in the world of academia, please call up right now and tell me what that means.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah, 800-5-85-105-1. Should she lose her job? I mean, she's a teacher, right? And she's supposed to be helping you. the youth. Yeah. She's supposed to be helping them grow
Starting point is 01:13:43 and be better people and better young adults and all this other stuff. Can she do that at all with the way that she's thinking? Let's discuss. 805-505-1. Man,
Starting point is 01:13:52 she knew her mic was on. I don't care. She knew her mic was on. You're a teacher. You do Zooms all the time. You knew your mic was on. You don't care. She ain't care.
Starting point is 01:14:05 I don't know why he left you. I don't know why he didn't respond. I hate it. You can respond. You didn't respond. Especially he on. his name. I don't know why he didn't do that.
Starting point is 01:14:15 But 800, 585.151, let's discuss. I love you, Jess. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:14:34 It's the J-N-V-J-Helariah. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlemagne just gave Donkey the day to who? A Hunter College professor named Allison. Friedman, she thought she was on mute and she had some things to say during a Zoom about black students. Let's listen. I've been receiving speech services since first grade. I attended the government and two of this Friday. He delivers lessons and helps us fit those skills into our lessons. That's like they're just too dumb to know they're in a bad school.
Starting point is 01:15:08 I mean, apparently not think he said it. Like if you train a black person well enough, they'll know who use the back. You don't have to tell them anymore. Allison Friedman, what you're saying is absolutely hearable here. You've got to stop. And right now, her job is being reviewed by her employer, but they say she may keep her job thanks to her cushy tenure. Now, when you talk about a tenure, right, that is an employment status commonly in teaching that provides security against dismissal without just cause. Is this not just cause? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Let's go to the phone lines and find out. I think it is just cause. I mean, she's being racist. I think that's pretty much all we need to hear, right? Yeah, you can't, you can't, you know, teach a bunch of black kids with this mentality. I don't think so anyway. Just what you think? Man, I think her ass should be fired.
Starting point is 01:16:01 And if she do stay on, imagine how them students are going to approach her now. Look at her now. Like, I wouldn't even want to be in her class, but I'm tormenting her ass, torture her ass every day if I'm her student now. Like she might want to quit There's no way like a teacher's job is to be Of course an educator, a mentor to manage to shape students academically And personally and be that bridge between that education and regular life, right?
Starting point is 01:16:27 And if a teacher's not doing that and they can't inform a student or help a student And being racist, why do they need to be there? It's my opinion. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is Amber. Amber, good morning and talk to us. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:16:40 I think she should actually like absolutely lose her job being that I work in the school system especially with our young black students like they are looking for in their school system if you're supposed to be making students feel safe and you are supposed to not be creating
Starting point is 01:17:01 hostile environment I don't understand why her tenure will play a part here also aside from the racial slurs and what they're doing to her image and saying about black people, thinking about the racial trauma that is causing these young children to hear them say that.
Starting point is 01:17:19 They're supposed to be trusting you. So I really despise when teachers and people that are in the education system do not take their role seriously. I agree with you. And it's funny when they talk about her tenure, that just means she's been racist for a long time.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Yeah. And nobody knew. Yes. Like you can't, and what other, like, It's absolutely absurd that they would even consider that being that she is blatantly. And you know you're not supposed to put you knew that you were wrong when you said it. They knew she was wrong, which is why they reminded her that her mic was off and stopped her from saying,
Starting point is 01:17:54 like, what else would she have said if they wouldn't have told her that? And who was she talking to? It's probably somebody in her house, somebody like wherever she was at. Because if they were on Zoom, more than likely she was home. Thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, y'all. Hey, what's your name?
Starting point is 01:18:08 Hey. My name is Megan. Good morning. Envy, Charlemagne, Jess, Lauren. Good morning. I was just calling on response to what you were asking, Shalumay, what does cushy tenure mean in response to the donkey of the day? Right?
Starting point is 01:18:23 Well, to me, that just means that they were relying on her longevity of employment. And it just sounds like, based on the fact that she was employed for a long period of time, then she can do whatever she wants to do, which is not, it's not rare. People can come into the office and do whatever they want to do and treat us, however they want to treat us, just because you've shown, you know, that you're loyal to the company, but it doesn't mean that you have good morale. I agree wholeheartedly.
Starting point is 01:18:53 I keep hearing that that 10-year, cushy tenure, 10-year, that just means she was racist for a long time. And the other thing I was thinking about it. How many times does she have those conversations with other teachers on that Zoom, and it was somebody and not be recording. Right. Or they be having them together
Starting point is 01:19:12 and somebody like, what, you're, you're, Allison, your mic is on. Yes, you have to stop. Yes,
Starting point is 01:19:17 your mic is on. Right, right. Hey, I'm Mike. I'm, I'm, I'm,
Starting point is 01:19:20 I'm Mike. It's just by going, you know, when we watch reality TV, you know, they, they cover up and they say,
Starting point is 01:19:26 hey, I'm Mike, so that, you know, you can, you can't be candid at that point. So that's all that, that is.
Starting point is 01:19:33 And unfortunately, it was brought to the forefront, and so she needs to be held accountable. I agree. Thank you, Mama. Now, if you just joining us, Sholome and gave Donkin the day to who, Shala? A Hunter College professor named Allison Friedman. She was on a Zoom, and she didn't know that her mic was off mute,
Starting point is 01:19:51 and she had some things to say about black students. Would you like to hear? Let's listen. I've been receiving these services since first grade. I attended the government and two other students on Friday. He delivers lessons and helps us fit those skills into our lessons. that like they're just too dumb to know they're in a bad school. I mean, apparently, Martin King said it.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Like, if you train a black person well enough, they'll know to use the back. You don't have to tell them anymore. Allison, free men, what you're saying is absolutely hearable here. You've got to stop. She said, they're too dumb to know that they're in a bad school. And then she thought she was quoting Martin Luther King, Jr., but she was actually trying to quote Carter G. Woodson based off something that Reginald Higgins, who is the school's district
Starting point is 01:20:39 interim acting superintendent, said, he said, if you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told. She said, if you train a black person well enough, they'll know to use the back. You don't have to tell him anymore. Dumbass.
Starting point is 01:20:54 That's correct. And right now, her job is under review because of her cushy tenure. So just because she's been there for a long time, I guess she's allowed to be as racist. The newest tracks. Let's go. new music.

Starting point is 01:21:46 a place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks. And we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope.
Starting point is 01:22:02 We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore, loss that changes you purpose when success isn't enough. peace when your mind won't slow down, fake when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you.
Starting point is 01:22:24 Listen to if you can hear me on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny baby. is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict? A villain. A nurse named Lucy Leppi.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Lettby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened when the world. decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt.
Starting point is 01:23:21 It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Lettby on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast.
Starting point is 01:24:03 I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. She wanted to be. And like what Jess said, if you're a student or you're a parent to that student, you don't want your kids in there.
Starting point is 01:24:39 I don't care what age they are, right? I think what? Now, I guess they're saying because her, and I'm just thinking about this, maybe because she's, been there for so long and they've never heard her speak like this she's never had an incident so they may maybe they're giving her some benefit of the doubt but i don't know benefit of the doubt maybe it's hit it maybe it's one of the things that just hasn't came out as yet now that is coming out we should just ignore and forget it that doesn't make sense i can't have you teaching my kids when you think that uh you know they're they're all too dumb to know that they're
Starting point is 01:25:09 in a bad school right and you didn't and you didn't call them the N-word i know the last caller said that she called them and she didn't call them and she didn't call them and she didn't them in N-word but she belittled them and degraded them like and you're their professor that's weird if you gave her 30 more seconds she would have said 30 they had to cut around 30 seconds i don't know seconds and world hello who's this hello this hello this is jonathan from miami florida what's up brother talk to us what she's your thoughts so i don't think she should be fired this is crazy right i i teach at a higher institution in miami i'm considered a continued contract professor otherwise known as tenured she's a professor
Starting point is 01:25:46 like you mentioned earlier, and this is a teachable moment. This is where the lessons come, right? This is where we learn, the intersection of learning and learning. And I'm also Haitian. There's a phrase that says, so on want, without shame. He needs to now go to HR and do workshops of how not to be stupid and not how not to be ignorant. I want to leave on the last, you know, too,
Starting point is 01:26:10 because my wife is a professor at FI.U. And she's, I'm so proud of it because she's a, doing amazing thing. She just released the book called Keep Your Mother. So she should not be fine. This is a teachable moment. Let me ask you a question, though. If she's the teacher and she's showing the fact that she is a little racist, that's what it seems like to me. Do you want her teaching your child? And let me ask you this too. If this would have been any other community, the backlash would have been so crazy, the lady would have ran out the door. So you don't think she should have been fired regardless. You don't mind this teacher teaching your kids?
Starting point is 01:26:41 I'm a teacher that was like that teaching my child. I came at her neck. I wrote a long, nice email. But again, this is, because what happens is... Tell the truth. Tell the truth. You're Haitian. You knew you blew that dust on her. I am Haitian. I didn't know any dust.
Starting point is 01:26:57 I didn't know any dust. However, because if she gets fired, she's going to work for a certain administration that, you know, or Fox News. And, you know, there's no teachable moment. This isn't a teachable moment. I think that's the most envy. I agree. I wouldn't want her to teach my child, but this happens. It is what it is.
Starting point is 01:27:12 But let's take this opportunity to make it a teachable moment. That's crazy. I don't agree with him at all. Yeah, I respect your opinion, but I don't know if I agree with you because they don't allow teachable moments for black people. No. And they don't only say he cared about the situation too much even. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:27:30 I agree. I see what you're saying, but it should be a teachable moment because what happens, the minute you fire them, they'll work somewhere else and keep doing what they're doing. There's an opportunity to learn here. Or an education. You can't change a person's heart. No. No, you know, this isn't a young woman.
Starting point is 01:27:45 This woman has been around for a long time. She's has a long tenure, like, you know, slapping her on the wrist and saying this is a teachable moment. Isn't it going to change her feelings about black people or black students. Yeah, and I don't care what if she worked at after this, but the kids that she's offending ain't going to have to look at her no more. She can be fine and go work wherever she wants. That's cool, but she won't be there. Isn't it a stain on her record, too, if she does get fired? Isn't it a stain on a record that anybody would have to hire, they would see the reason she was fired?
Starting point is 01:28:13 Teachers have unions, and those unions protect them. unfortunately. So it's, it's just like police officers, right? They kill people, unfortunately, some of them, and they go get hired, but they're in another space. So yes, it's messed up what happens, and she should be held accountable again, being Haitians. There's no shame because this current administration allows people to do certain things without any shame in any kind of accountability. But I would make this, I would take an opportunity to say, hey, you got that's the reprimand you for this. You should be held accountable. And, you know, move her to another I'm going to somewhere else, but don't fire her.
Starting point is 01:28:48 Like, make this an opportunity for a teachful moment. It's black history, month, nonetheless, right? Well, you're making all the foundation. I'm so confused at this man, you know. I'm so confused. Remember, he's Haitian. He's Haitian, so he's making all the foundational black Americans so mad right now. I mean, they are on the computers right now, like that tether.
Starting point is 01:29:05 Don't listen to that tether. Jesus. That's so much like I was with him, but I wasn't. And then he almost got me there, but then I don't know. Like that just, he made me. a little bit more mad. I don't want a racist teaching my child. Because you don't know why they're grading that child.
Starting point is 01:29:21 You don't know the performance. Is it because of who they are and not the actual performance? I don't want to be dealing with that. I'd rather go to another school. Very cool. Half her ass stay. And then all the black kids, they show her how dumb they are to every day. Make her ass quick.
Starting point is 01:29:38 Torture her ass. Period. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story if there is tomorrow? Torture her ass. I'm not going to say. I ain't going to say I don't want you all to torture her ass. No, I don't want that either.
Starting point is 01:29:49 I just want the woman to have to deal with the consequences of her actions. Yes. All right. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up, so don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail.
Starting point is 01:30:00 I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. 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.
Starting point is 01:30:14 On the breakfast. All right, guys, so Jay Cole's Honda Civic that he has been on the trunk tour, or what is it, the trunk sale tour with has broke down. So yesterday, Jay Cole posted. Come on, come on, Jess, it's Chris time to shine. Yes. Oh, stop around my view. You are not a mechanic. Don't play around.
Starting point is 01:30:38 Yesterday, Jay Cole posted on his ex account, a photo of the car, and it was at a repair shop. You know how like they put the car up on a little, what is it called, Envy? The little, the lift. The lift. Yes. So he posted a photo and he told fans that he was driving to L.A., but on the way to L.A., the Civic said it had enough and it broke down so that they were in Phoenix and that they were there for a while because they needed to get the car fixed. So they were to mob around the city and a sprinter selling CDs in the meantime.
Starting point is 01:31:05 So they go, they get in a sprinter and they mobbing. But then they get back to the auto repair shop and fiends are lined up outside of the auto repair shop. as well too. Now, I don't believe that. Why is he driving to L.A.? Like, what's you doing? He's taking it back to the essence where he first started
Starting point is 01:31:23 and he's bringing back that feeling of when he used to, you know, drive his Sonda Civic around and sell it and sell it out to Trump. But this is the thing. Enough is enough, right? You were in New York, you were going to drive from New York
Starting point is 01:31:34 to L.A.? All right, J. Cole. Enough's enough. We get it. I believe that they're shipping that car state to state. And, you know, he's flying where he needs to go.
Starting point is 01:31:43 And then when he gets where he's going, he drives the Honda around. I mean, because I saw the whole discussion about, you know, they feel like everything Jay Cole is doing is performative. Anything you do around an album rollout is performative, even if it's something you sincerely want to do.
Starting point is 01:31:58 This is how he's choosing the market his album by driving around in the Honda and pulling up the places and vibing and selling out the trunk. That's cool. It's part of the rollout. It's performative, but it doesn't mean it's not sincere. No, I think it's sincere. It's how he started. And even if he is trailing it to city to city, I just
Starting point is 01:32:14 it's dope and it's outside the box it's not what people have been doing especially people of his caliber so the fact that he's taking his old honda civic out and he's going from hbc u to hbc u and hot spot the hot spot i think that's dope regardless and he like less the fans rap for him he had did the thing where they got in the car and got to listen to the album with him like early on and his driving around he's really doing it but i will say something i've been thinking about this if honda doesn't get involved in this at any point somebody there is totally missing a moment because what is honda care because what i feel like culturally that was be the conversation would
Starting point is 01:32:46 yeah it would make a lot of sense it shows reliability the fact that that cars were 20 years plus old and he's still driving it around we didn't need j cole to know that about honda's like what i mean he's the everyday guy he's yes he is
Starting point is 01:33:00 accurate did it with ludicrous when acura brought when he did his uh his old his first car so i think honda should jump on it in bandwagon to do something with it i don't make that one no more that he driving that they did that acura over for Remember he had that accurate. They did that acro over.
Starting point is 01:33:15 They went on, they took it on tour. It was a whole thing. So, yeah, I think he should. Yeah. No disrespect, but Honda don't need Jay Cole. Okay. Honda's been around before Jay Cole. They're going to be around long after Jay Cole.
Starting point is 01:33:27 Honda's going outlive us. You hear me? You're right? Yes. Yes. So in other reliable fan news, Cardi B is still selling out her tours. She just had a tour stop in Seattle.
Starting point is 01:33:40 I know the video was going viral where she fell into like the little like whole part at the stage and the fans were blaming the government. But Cardi B is talking now just about how hard she goes on this tour because people were really thinking that she wasn't going to show up well on this tour because she had just had a baby and all the things. Let's take a list on Cardi. Every show has been sold out. And one thing that I love the most is while my tickets was being on pre-sale, there was a lot
Starting point is 01:34:04 of haters. There was a lot of devils that kept like trying to push this propaganda. Like she's not going to be ready. She just gave birth. She's been rehearsing for only a month. But I'm a person that I recognize the value of a dollar. I don't like to play with my money, so I wouldn't want to play with child money. If y'all paying to see me, I'm going to give you a hell of a show.
Starting point is 01:34:24 Remember when I was saying, like, a couple of months ago, like, I went over budget and people was making fun of me. I'm glad everybody gets to see why I spent so much money on my show. Like, I was not playing with the production. I was not playing with nothing. Yeah, and she's a little bit over 12 shows in, I believe. And it's like three months after she's given birth. So shout out to Cardi. She's always worked hard after every baby, though.
Starting point is 01:34:48 Every baby she had. She was on stage pregnant giving it up. So, yeah. Yes. Now, as we wrap, I just saw this. Isaac Hayes, the third, posted that the Isaac Hayes estate has settled with Donald Trump. You guys remember they had the copyright infringement lawsuit against Donald Trump in his campaign because they kept using the song, Hold on I'm Coming, throughout Trump's like campaign rallies.
Starting point is 01:35:11 So they have settled. There's no details as to what that settlement looks like. But after that, now there has been a voluntary dismissal of the claims. And Isaac C. posted a statement that said that this resolution represents more than the conclusion of a legal matter. It's about the importance of protecting intellectual property rights, especially as they relate to legacy ownership and the responsibility of creative works and how you're supposed to honor those.
Starting point is 01:35:33 So that is now settled. Yeah, I got to go catch my flight. All right. I can't. Stay back. You say that like we hope. You say that like, we're holding you up. No, I said it, I said it.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Shut up. We even said the latest with Laura. She said, all right, Isaac came back. I got to catch my flight job. No, I said it. I said it because I wanted to make sure that was my own reminder of why I'm still here, because I wanted to make sure that I saluted Heather Lowry and Femlin, or Femlin at C and Femman Forward.
Starting point is 01:36:00 I did the cruise this weekend from Friday to Monday, literally over a thousand black women on a boat. It was like Essence Festival on Water. Like, I mean, we out there like, praying together. Pretty V did like live motivational speaking. We're doing yoga in the morning, partying at night. Monica, SWV. Kisha Cole popped out. It was just like, I've never experienced anything like that, like at all. It was so fire and seamlessly done. And it was her first year doing it. So shout out to Heather Lowry and the Femit Forward team. Because I had a great time.
Starting point is 01:36:30 I saw I saw Ivy Rivera was out there. I saw y'all do a panel together or something. Yes. Yeah, we did a panel with me, Ivy Rivera, Milano D. Rouge. I can't remember everyone's name on a panel as well. Oh, Ingrid Best from I Best or you Best Wines or I Best Wines? I have the name, the Best Wines company. We did a panel. I sat down with Crystal Renee and talked on her, keep it positive. That conversation, I was like mind blown by how many people just received it. Like, but they came ready.
Starting point is 01:36:56 It was literally like a life-changing experience. And I'm not just saying that because I love Heather because she's from Delaware. It really was like one of those times. Like I came back into the world today because I needed a break yesterday and was like, you know what? I'm supposed to be here. I'm showing up. You're supposed to be here.

I'm your host, BDOT, and this week we're traveling all over the world studying black history and how black folk have not just impacted, but transformed. the world we live in today. So get your digital passports. Today, we travel to Japan. Now, be honest.
Starting point is 01:39:47 First of all, do you have any clue what a samurai is? These were elite warriors in Japan. I'm talking about martial arts. They were disciplined. They were badass. But be honest, when you picture a samurai, black is probably not the color
Starting point is 01:40:02 your brain picks. And that's not your fault. That's the edit. But before we get into the meat of the, the episode, I have to give you three of the most useless facts you'll never, ever need. Not a day in life. Up first, there was a documented African man living in Japan in the 1500s. Your second useless fact is that same African man served under one of the most powerful
Starting point is 01:40:29 warlords in Japanese history. And your third useless fact is he wasn't a servant. He was a samurai. Yeah. And I knew nothing about it. His name was Yasuki, Y-A-S-U-K-E. Y-A-S-U-K-E. Yashuki, he was an African man who got to Japan in the late 15-Hundits.
Starting point is 01:41:04 They say we're probably brought there through them Portuguese trade routes. Historians believe Yosuke was from Mozambique, probably from the Makua people. Some records suggest that he might have been a child soldier before being brought to India and then Japan. And when Yosukee stepped off that ship, Japan had never seen somebody like that. I mean, he was tall, dark skin, physically imposing. I'm talking to my people followed him in the streets just to look. If you're above 6'5, that's how they treat you in places like Japan and China now. They automatically think you're playing the NBA and they want to autograph.
Starting point is 01:41:37 It was reported that some of the people thought his skin was painted. They tried to scrub it off. But when it didn't budge, oh, the fascination got serious. But here's where the story flips. Yusuki caught the attention of Oda Nobunaga, one of the most powerful. and feared warlords in Japanese history. Instead of dismissing him, Abunaga did the unthinkable. He elevated him. Yasuki was given a residence, a stipend, weapons, and they gave him the status of samurai. Nobunanga reportedly said Yasuki had the strength of ten men.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Japanese records confirmed that Nobunaga spoke with Yasuki directly and was super impressed to find out that Yusuki was smart as hell. That wasn't symbolic. Like Samurai weren't mascots. They were elite warriors, trusted, armed, respected. Now here's the part that messes with the narrative. This was before race became a global hierarchy, before black automatically meant inferior everywhere.
Starting point is 01:42:36 Like in Japan, Yasuki was judged on loyalty, ability, and presence. Not his skin color. It's crazy, but anti-blackness, that had to be talked globally. It wasn't automatic. And that's a receipts-level historical fact. Yusuki fought alongside Nobunaga. He was trusted in battle. And when Nobunaga fell,
Starting point is 01:42:57 Yasuke's fate faded into mystery. Not because he wasn't important, but because history didn't quite know where to file of black man who didn't fit the script. A century after Carter G. Woodson created space to preserve black history, stories like Yusukis are finally resurfacing. Because if we don't document global black presence,
Starting point is 01:43:17 people start believing we was only ever enslaved, never respected, powerful, never everywhere. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know. Congratulations. Your passport has been stopped.
Starting point is 01:43:31 Next stop, Ethiopia. All right, salute to B.Dat. Slu to my God. I have a fair. And make sure you subscribe to the I didn't know. Maybe you didn't need a podcast on the Black Effect podcast network. All right. Jess, you got a fact.
Starting point is 01:43:44 What's your fact, Jess? Yes, I do. In 1830s, did y'all know that ketchup was once medicine? They used to use it as a cure as a cure for diarrhea in the 1830s. Yes, man. They used that. Not just diarrhea, indigestion as well. Yes, we knew this.
Starting point is 01:44:01 But diarrhea was the first thing that they used it for. Dr. John Cook Bennett. Yes, he believed that tomatoes could be therapeutic properties, ma'am. They thought it was a health remedy. That's why they started selling ketchup to begin with because it was, it was for like a, it was like the peptobismo of its time. Help stomachs, diarrhea, indigestion. You type. So fast. Both of y'all type so fast.
Starting point is 01:44:22 What are you talking about? You two the most basic stuff. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, my God. As a black person, but listen, not even just as a black person, as anybody with some curiosity, if you use something as much as you use ketchup, you ain't never looked at the origins and ketchup?
Starting point is 01:44:39 No. No. Okay, well, sorry. Crazy ass. No, and neither did envy. He'd be over there lying, too. I didn't. I'm sitting there playing with my remote control truck over there. I don't know what you talk about.
Starting point is 01:44:50 I absolutely knew that. This is something. Because they didn't even start using ketchup as a condiment until like the 1900s. Yes. Yes. You know there was a ketchup pill? You know there was a ketchup pill at one time? No.
Starting point is 01:45:01 I don't know about no pill. I know about no pill. I know about no. It was a ketchup pill. It was a tomato pill that they used to use, you know, to treat like, like indigestion. It was like a pepto-discan all. Yeah. It was like the pepthobismal of his time.
Starting point is 01:45:16 Mm-hmm. All right, Charles. One day. Just. The fact of the day. is ketchup was once medicine in 1830s. It was used for diarrhea and indigestion and stuff. You know what you'd be messing up?
Starting point is 01:45:27 You'd be asking us if we knew this. Just saying. I didn't ask y'all. Just say. Did you know? You said, did you know? Did you know? I didn't know I said that.
Starting point is 01:45:37 Yes, you said every time before you. Yes, we did know that? All right, that's where I messed up at. Anyway, I'm not going to ask you all, did you know nothing else? I'm just going to give the facts. There you go. I swear y'all be typing when I'm asking, because y'all be typing when I'm asking you,
