Is Mariah officially thought out? Okay, we got 25 days. Now it's officially... 25 days of Christmas. The Christmas season. All right. Now we should be able to play this. Let's get it.

Let's get it. So back on the club, good morning. All right. That was Mariah Carey. The greatest Christmas song of all time. What's that? Belize Navidot. Your people's song?

That's not my people's. That song is so fire. What you're talking to you? Not today. Not my people. My favorite song is Give Love on Christmas Day by Johnny Gill. Mine is that Shaw House song. Christmas and Hollis and Christmas.

All of those are great, but Felice Navidad is really the slap of Christmas. You know she had tacos for Thanksgiving? I did not. My mother-in-law, cooks. No, no, no, no. We had turkey. We had ham. We had pulled crabs and everything.

They just put it in a taco. That's dope. That's right. That's what I said. No, they didn't. No, we did not do that. Why are you listening to him? Police Navidat.

Oh, wow. Police Navidat. That's the only part you know. No, I don't. What else you know? I want to wish you a man. The English part of the Merry Christmas. That's true.

Oh, my goodness. Morning, everybody. We are the breakfast club. Back to the work week. Let's get in front... Take that off, man. That's fires. Why do you hate on your own people? All right. Well, let's start off with sports. All right. Now, the... What? Yeah, the charges beat the Raiders last night. The Broncos

beat the commanders. The bills beat the Steelers. The buccaneers beat the Cardinals. The Panthers beat the Rams. The Jets beat the Falcons. The Dolphins beat the Saints. The Cowboys. Y'all beat the Chiefs, right? 31.28? We did on Thanksgiving Day. Mm-hmm. And the Eagles lost to the Bears. Now, Monday night for the ball! A Giants take

on the Patriots. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee. Judge Hellamane. How y'all doing this morning? Peace, Mimi. Good morning. All right, so we start this morning in Washington where investigators are still working through that ambush that killed one National Guard member and left another in critical condition

just blocks away from the White House. Now, officials say 20-year-old specialist Sarah Bextram was killed and 24-year-old staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf remains in critical condition after both were shot in broad daylight while walking their patrol route last week. Now, authorities say the gunman and Afghan refugee opened fire with a revolver before another guard member returned fire and detained him. He is now under guard at the hospital and prosecutors are pursuing a first degree murder charge. Now, in the wake of the

shooting, President Trump has paused all asylum decisions from so-called third world countries and ordered U.S. embassies to stop issuing visas to Afghan nationals while the administration reviews its vetting system. The White House is placing blame on the prior administration, even though immigration records show the suspect's asylum was approved this April under the Trump administration's own process. A national security officials say the suspect previously served on a CIA trained strike force in Afghanistan, meaning he would have had to gone through U.S. security vetting years before ever coming to the United States. Now, Homeland Security Secretary Christine Nome, she was asked about those conflicting details, including the vetting

and the asylum approval during an appearance yesterday on Meet the Press. Let's listen to that exchange. But I just want to be very clear about this because his asylum was approved in April of this year on the Trump administration's watch. Yeah, the vetting process all happened under Joe Biden's administration. So was he vetted when he was granted asylum? Are you saying he wasn't vetted when he was vetting is, vetting is happening when they come into the country, and that was completely abandoned under Joe Biden's administration. And that's why I'm so grateful we have a president now that isn't going to allow it to happen, that he now has put in place measures under his watch at the Department of Homeland Security that we are bringing in new information on vetting, new information to use, such as what do they do on Facebook? What do they do on TikTok and other social media platforms? well the president is now requesting an additional 500 national guard troops to be sent to

Washington and so far officials say they still do not have a motive for that shooting that took place I hate our things move so fast in this country like you hear about two national guard members getting killed before you can digest that Trump is permanently pausing my migration you know they're politicizing the situation already like I don't we don't even like you said we don't even know what the motive was yet exactly so there still investigating that. We're going to talk more to your point, Charlemagne, how fast the new cycle moves about

Venezuela in the next hour. We'll save that. But coming up at 7, a warning for anyone trying to stretch their dollar this holiday season. It is officially Christmas season. We'll tell you about the scams popping up online and how you can avoid them. And today is Cyber Monday, right? That's what the deals was going to be on line. We'll talk

about that as well. We're going to get all into it. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105.1. Let us know how your Thanksgiving week was, how you Thanksgiving was, how you're feeling? If there's some things you need to get off your chest, like I said, phone lines are wide open.

All right y'all So the holiday weekend was pretty festive For some So we're going to start With Ray J and Princess Love So over the holiday weekend on thanksgiving morning actually uh ray j was uh he was arrested and he was charged with making a

criminal threat his bail was set to 50 000 which he later posted um and everything was on live stream um so let's take a listen to ray j and princess love get into it on thanksgiving morning what you're trying to do take my kids okay take your kids watch how they cry take my kids because you're drunk drive drunk princess right you just drive drunk you just pointed a gun drive drunk Drive drunk, Princess. You and your drunk, your drunk cousin? Because y'all drunk is fucking your alcoholics. Take my kids in.

Go ahead. Who's going to drive? Tony, he's been drinking, too. I'm not driving. Who's been driving? Everybody, everybody, I didn't point nothing at us. You put it at us. You put a gun at us.

Yeah, whatever. All I wanted to do is have a good thing. Why did you wake my daughter up? You're a woman abuser. You're a delusional. I'm a woman. That's what drunk people say. Bro the f*** up.

All right, cool. You eat a f***. You're not taking my son. Oh, no, don't touch you, don't touch it. Hey, I kill you, y'all. I kill you, bro. Stop. Okay, I'm trying to help you out.

I got to help you out. So what you hear, uh, is... They hear a lot of it. That is not okay. Okay. That is not okay. That is not okay. The dumb butt because the curse lit through the butt.

Yeah, well, what, but basically what happened. Um, and so I talked to Ray J, um, trying to kind of understand where all of this came from. Because Princess Love later went and explained her side of it and we'll listen to her as well. And she, because we were all trying to figure out why they were together on Thanksgiving being as though

they're separate and they co-parent. Like what made them choose to be together because we know that sometimes they, yeah, but they haven't had the best cordial relationship. So I just naturally would have assumed that they would have done Thanksgiving at two different places and figured that out.

Princess did the whole thing what she explained was. Yeah. So what I'm saying is we're going to get to that. But backtracking it, I asked Ray J, what was happening prior to this live stream and why did you go on live stream

to do all of this? And he says that they got into it downstairs. Yes, I spoke to Ray J. Yes. He says that they were prepping the food, you know, holidays, everybody's drinking, prepping food. And they got into a conversation about a woman that he's dealing with, Sheila, the woman that was up here with him. And he says that went left. And when that went left, things kind of got under control.

He says he claims he went on live stream because he wanted to have an account of things from his point of view because everyone else was recording in the house. So then we see or we hear all of the chaos, break out. he says that the police were called when you hear the police actually come into the house later on in the live stream and Ray J. Alleges there were like 14 police officers that showed up. The kids are screaming, crying, everything's happening

and then he's taken away. Now he also is saying to me that he did not pull the gun on Princess Love. In the live stream you do see him with a gun when he says that someone is coming up to grab his kids. He says that it was because of her cousin's

husband, the guy that you hear tackle Ray J. But he says that he would never have pulled a gun on his kid and his, you know, kid's mom. Now, Princess Love did go online and speak from her point of view and clear things on her. And I did reach out to her, but having heard back anything additional in this video. Let's take a listen. I just want to say, I've been doing a really great job at protecting my peace. I love my kids.

And I would never do anything to put them in danger, including leaving them with a man who's waving a gun around. I'm the best mother. and I do it alone while you're out here running around the world terrorizing women and abusing women. What I'm not about to do is let you deflect and not take accountability for your actions for pulling a gun out on me and my cousin's husband because I was trying to take my kids and leave your house. I agreed to come over there and cook for Thanksgiving because I wanted you to be around your kids with me present because the last time I left them with you, they found you naked in a bed with a woman. And when I tried to ask you about it, you told me to fuck myself and that I don't run

shit over there. Take accountability, Ray, do better. Take yourself into rehab because you're more than drunk. Everything I do, I do for my kids, including being around you when I don't want to or have to. I'm going to continue to pray for you and pray that you get the help that you need. Yeah. So the woman that she's mentioning, Ray J. told me is Michelle as well. And he said that the way that the incident happened, And it wasn't like he was just like aimlessly walking around with this woman in front of his kids. The house is separate where they were upstairs. There's nannies and he's back and forth. And then he was there with her.

But it didn't happen. He's a legend. It didn't happen the way that she's saying it. But he's also a legend that he didn't pull the gun on her. And at this point, too, I've asked him like, have you been able to talk to your kids? Because they're screaming at the top of their lungs at the end of that first recording. Have you been able to talk to them to just make sure they're okay? He says he hasn't talked to his kids and he probably won't until after everything ends.

and he's talking about he goes back to court on December 19th for this incident. So, yeah, that's where they've left off at this point. I wonder how much law enforcement uses social media content for situations like this. I'm sure a lot. A lot. Probably, yeah.

They use it a lot in other situations, so I don't know why they wouldn't in this one. Well, it's not my business, but I wonder why Ray would have Sheila around his kids if he had his kids. You know, I mean, unless that was his girl and they were, you know, thinking about moving on. Like, would you have your kids around somebody?

just knocking off like in that kind of weird not really but that's the I mean yeah it's weird to answer your question but I mean that's his girlfriend right I mean he was just up here he told that was his girl right I don't remember couldn't really answer he didn't say that was yeah but he because I know everything is like for the antics and like the show this TV show yeah yeah but you know you just never know what is you know just I don't believe anything I see online when it comes from that way he got locked out I believe what I saw just now and I don't like none of it yeah no not that I'm talking about like with

his relationship with the girl, she'll know, like the press run that they're doing to me. He got a show on Zuz that he's trying to promote as well. So, I mean, I don't know if I believe that relationship, but if he was to have his kids around her, I mean, it would be because that's his girlfriend, I guess. I mean, who knows? I just wonder what makes people say,

I'm going to go live with this. Well, he's, like, why? I asked him that, and I said, I told him, I'm like, you know how stupid that was to see you on live with a gun in your hand? But he literally said to Cam Newton, did he say to Cam, or some one of those interviews that he did

where he's like, yo, as long as I'm going down, on a decline, whatever is negative, it sells. Like, nobody sees the good I do because I have to pay for people to post that. I don't got to pay for blogs to post anything negative about me, so I crash out literally, willingly. This is a bit much, because now you see the kick. But now he's banned from Twitch for Life.

He is banned. He had to go over to kick once he got released. We have that audio. But he said he went live to protect himself. Let's take a listen to him after he was released on kick. I just got out of jail. That's not cool. Jail was not okay, bro.

Just arguing with this in here It's fucking off in jail It was crazy, yeah Bro, I'm almost peeping in the fuck full time Because I'm like, bro, I'm trying to survive in here, bro He did what? Fing up in here, bro, under his bed, bro. It was crazy, almost beat that shit under his bed, bro.

Talking about Ray J, Ray J, it was a lot. Never go to jail, y'all. It was really bad. Nah, we banned from Twitch permanently, forever. We'll never be able to go back on Twitch. We just transferred over. They banned me permanently. because I was defending my kids, but it's cool.

I'm not worried about it, bro. I don't work for none of these, I don't work for nobody. So he did show the gunner, because I didn't, yeah, he did. You don't see him pull it or point it at Princess Love in the videos I saw. You just saw him holding a gun. You DC, but you hear him threaten and shoot the is shot of somebody. That's the guy that comes in. See, that's why I say I don't see how going live protects him in this situation

because if somebody accuses you appointing a gun at them, and then you, in the video, with a gun. You know, people are just going to start piecing all types of things together. Right. You know, I don't see how that helped him in this situation. Yeah, I don't either. Yeah, he's claiming it's because they were, the guy was trespassing because he shouldn't have been upstairs in his home or whatever.

I understood that now. Yeah, when I saw the random guy come in, I understood that because I didn't know who that dude was. But once again, we don't know the context. We just know he went live in that moment. We don't know everything that happened around that situation. Well, the guy was her cousin's husband, right? Yeah. And he says that he came.

upstairs because Princess Left told him to come and help her get the kids but Ray J said basically that crossed the line Princess of course you're going to come get the kids do what you're going to do I ain't going to argue with you he said he would never put it he wasn't going to put his hands on or anything like that either but the husband he said that crossed the line in his room and tried to get his kids out of his bed

they did get the kids out of bed they were asleep yeah so yeah there's going to be more because he will be in court in a few weeks so we'll keep you guys updated all right that's the latest for Lauren we come back we got front page news so don't go Anywhere's the Breakfast Club.

I'm sorry. He's kidding. Stop me. All right, y'all. Well, to new fallout this morning over those U.S. military strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean, those strikes have now killed over 80 people.

According to a Washington post-report Defense Secretary Pete Hetzeth, he allegedly told troops who, quote, kill everybody during an operation in early September. And sources familiar with the mission say a second strike was later carried out that killed the survivors of that first hit.

And the Pentagon has it confirmed those allegations but the allegations alone, they have triggered bipartisan oversight on Capitol Hill where lawmakers are now looking into whether the missions broke U.S. or international law. And the administration, they maintain that the people killed were, quote, narco-terrorists tied to foreign terrorist organizations and that the strikes are legal because drug cartels

have been labeled as terrorist groups under the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Heg Seth, he's pushing back. He's calling the report fake news and insisting the strikes were aimed, at stopping drug smuggling boats. And President Trump, he's defending him to a group of reporters this weekend on Air Force One. Let's listen to that exchange.

He didn't even know what people were talking about. So we'll look at, we'll look into it. But no, I wouldn't have wanted that, not a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine. And if there were two people around, but Pete said that didn't happen. Does that make you?

I have great confidence. He said no second strike. I don't know. I'm going to find out about it. Pete said he did not order the death of those two men. Do you have any concerns about how those boat strikes have been carried out at all? Very little, because you can see the boats. You can see the drugs in the boats.

So the president doesn't need to be brief beforehand? I thought he did. You don't know about the second scratch. So I'm trying to figure out it. Yeah. Well, the president also says that he's going to pardon the former president of Honduras, who was serving 45 years for helping cartels move cocaine into the U.S. Trump said that the former president of Honduras, he was treated unfairly, but some lawmakers,

they are noting the contrast that the administration is striking alleged narco-terrorists on boats while pardoning a leader convicted of drug trafficking. And meanwhile, the president is ordering the airspace over Venezuela close as the U.S. increases its military presence there. So we'll continue to watch what's happening. Talk about a lack of consistency. Jesus Christ. For sure.

A lot of people are pointing that out. And now to a story in Northern California where investigators are searching for whoever opened fire at a child's birthday party in Stockton, a mass shooting that left four people dead, including three children and 11 others injured. Officials say more than 100 people were inside a banquet hall on Saturday evening when the shooting started indoors and spilled outside. The victims were just eight, nine, and 14 years old, along with a 21-year-old adult. officials believe this was a targeted attack and are asking the community for surveillance video tips, even rumors that could possibly help identify the shooters. On Sunday, families returned to the scene to collect their children's birthday gifts and belongings, city and county leaders.

They are calling on the shooters to come forward. They are urging neighbors to come forward with any information. I've been in touch with Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee, who grew up in the area and has been with families on the ground. He spoke at a prayer vigil yesterday, urging families to stay calm and to not retaliate as families begin to process their trauma. Let's listen to some of that. But what I will say to the people that did this is it's never been gangst to kill kids. Never.

It's never been gangst to kill kids. You went in a birthday party and shot people's children. Parents brought their children out and they left with medical examiners. That is not human. That is not human. And I will say to those who are thinking of retaliation, when my brother got murdered, I thought about it too. It's human to want to hurt people who hurt people you love. But I had a choice to make, and I hope that the people out there in our community make the right choice.

And contact law enforcement, call me, call the mayor, call whoever you know, call the pastors, call your friend, turn yourself in. Because at some point, the redemption for what you did is going to happen when you see the person that created you. but you can start that process by turning yourself in and doing the right thing today Hey Jason is right but whatever happens to those people happens to them man

F them you know like that I feel like you gotta find them type of folks and bury them under the jail or whatever happens in the process of you know them getting caught

it just you know whatever happens to them happens I can care less you pull up to a birthday party and shoot off all those shots and kill kids come on man can you imagine no I can't imagine

that's just oh my God and I don't want it A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught.

Oh, my God.

Right before Christmas. Man. Very, very sad. The city says counselors will be available at school this week, especially since one of the youngest victims. She was a student in the district, and their parents worked for the school system. The district attorney is urging the shooter

They have a new documentary. It's called Songs from the Whole. Now, it's a documentary that details James' life. He was convicted of murder as a teenager. When he got to jail a day later, he found out that his brother had died and brother got killed. Yeah, a lot of people have been watching it on Netflix, so I can't wait to talk about it with them. Yeah, so we're going to talk to him next about it. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Sholomey and you guy. We are the breakfast club. Long LaRose is here today. We got some special guests in the building from the documentary on Netflix songs from the whole. We have James Jacobs, JJ 88. We have Contessa Gales and

Richie Reseda. Welcome. How are you guys feeling? It's on Netflix right now by the way. Yes. How are y'all feeling? Great. Feeling good. Happy to be here. Now for people that haven't seen the documentary, break down what the documentary is about. Well, it's a documentary visual album. We tell the story of my life when I was 15. I was incarcerated for second degree murder. And during that time, I spent 18 years in prison and during that time. I wrote an album. I met him. We produced and recorded that album in prison. And I wrote the visuals. We met Contessa and grew to his film, essentially. I want to ask you something,

Adia. You know, at 15, you committed a crime. It was murder. And three days later, your brother was killed. Yeah. But how did those two events so close together, I guess, shape your sense of identity and ultimately give you purpose, I guess? Oh, yeah. Um, well, At first, it took me down, like, a really dark, like, mental place. And after coming through, like, you know, suicidal ideations and just, at first I just felt like, at first I just felt kind of purposeless. I took a life which at 15 is kind of hard to hold and really recognize the gravity of it. But by the time I was 18 and in prison, I just kind of felt worthless. and without hope.

And losing my brother within that span was kind of like, he was kind of who I was emulating and admiring growing up. So it really devastated me. However, like through music, it kind of gave me a place to talk about it and talk about what me and the homies was just experiencing, what me and my family went through. And so through, I guess through music is where I kind of found

purpose in my story and where I could use it. I want to talk about when you was 15, man, because you said something that I often feel like with these kids, and all of us with kids at some point, you make a terrible choice, a temporary decision, you know, at least, I mean, a temporary feeling leads to a permanent decision, you know. Do you really understand the consequences of your actions at that time?

I mean, not in the way that I do now. When you're 15, you know, I mean, I mean, I think when I was a kid, I knew if you shoot someone, they could die. Like, I know that. I've seen people die. I've seen violence in my community. But I don't think I knew what it meant, for real, like the finality of it at 15. I don't think I knew truly at 15 the impact it was having not only on this person, but their family.

when there's people that I've like got back in touch with since I got home who were you know there that night and had to witness that and that night altered their life and I didn't learn that until I was in my 30s so you you don't at 15 you don't understand the gravity of it but you do understand that it is serious and the older I got the more mature I became the more I understood how serious it is which is why we make this film for you were charged as an adult not a child why was that because California is racist to put it simple at 15 serving 18 years it just seems like in any other state you would have been charged as a child

giving a second chance another opportunity on life they're doing it in other states too they charge they charge kids as adults because they want to take away futures and they have a belief in In this, like, punishment system, we live in a culture where revenge is normal.

We value it as a culture. Revenge is something that we explore. Me being a perpetrator of murder and having my brother murdered is something that I had to face for myself, you know? So the reason why they charge us as adults when we're kids is because they believe in revenge. They believe in retribution. They believe in eye for an eye. 15 years old when you were sitting in front of the judge not really understanding what's happening in your sentence

and the doc, you talk about looking over to your attorney and being like, so when am I going home? Yeah. Right? At that moment, as a kid, what did you need outside of just being locked the way behind bars? Like, what could they have given you that would have actually, like, in that moment,

helped you reform? Do you mean, like, after I've committed murder, like, what to offer a kid? Yeah, like, what should be the, you know, the rehabilitation of a person that is 15, years old that murders a person um i don't know what it should be i can tell you what i did um what what helped me was like um just having safe places to talk about it so i didn't to talk about what i had done um i don't think i needed to necessarily be locked away once i committed murder i knew

it was foul um i felt the seriousness of it it wasn't like i was i wasn't celebrated um by my homies so I knew that this was not the move to make but I needed to understand why and I didn't get that opportunity in court they don't give you an opportunity to understand why you are in this moment how serious it is that that you have taken a life and there's no plan to help you mature through it and process it you know you said you weren't celebrated you also talk a lot about how you thought like you know this is kind of like a song like we talk about in the songs. The song is over.

Yeah. So you had an idea of what you thought committing a crime would be like, and then you actually found yourself committing. Yeah. I mean, that's true for a lot of my homies. We listen to music, and this is no, this is no, like, condemnation on, like, hip-hop and the music we grow up on. I think it's just true that when I listen to music as a kid,

when I watch films as a kid and I saw violence, it didn't seem, you know, the, cuts off. And then I see the on the red carpet, excuse me, I see him on the red carpet. Like,

it's regular. You don't really understand that that person in that story didn't come back in real life. And so, as a kid, I thought,

you know, in 2003, 2004, I was listening to get Richard die trying. And like, that was the epitome of being a gangster.

And so, once I realized after, you know, as a kid, It's not, it ain't, you know, just a song. Like, when you go back to your homies, they're going to look at you and they're going to be scared of you. They're going to look at you and they're going to have real fear.

Like, what did you just do? The homies ask me, what you just do, fool? What did you do? Like, why did you do that? The homie, everybody I know who had a murder in prison, like, none of them got dapped up when their homies found out. Everybody got enough for what? They might talk about it. and they tell

war stories, sure, but it's like, not after it happened. I don't know nobody who got dapped up directly after, like, oh, we did that, let's go. The bitch is in that car, quiet. Dealing with the gravity. Smoking, drinking.

Yeah, trying to numb out. Them out. honorable to me, especially in the context of just regular street. Contested and Ritchie, how did y'all connect with James to help him tell the story? So what 88 didn't share was that he wrote the music that's in the film in solitary confinement. After he got out of solitary, he transferred to the prison where Ritchie was at, and that's how they met. He could talk about how they collaborated more on the music. But I met the both of them when I was filming a documentary for CNN.

I used to work at CNN, and the last project I did for them was a feature called The Feminist on Cell Block Y. And it was about a group that Ritchie had co-founded in prison and was leading for his fellow incarcerated men where they were reading feminist literature, like Bell Hooks, and, you know, learning about patriarchy and how it shows up in their lives and unlearning it.

So Ritchie was leading that group, and 88 was a participant and a co-facilitator of that group. And that was the first time that I heard a little bit of 88's story. And it was the last day of filming that documentary had nothing to do with the group, but the two of them were in the prison gym. And it was Richie's last day at the prison. He was about to be transferred to finish his sentence somewhere else. And they had the prison rental keyboard, and Richie had the keyboard on a trash can,

and 88 was singing and rapping some of those songs that he wrote in solitary. And there was a group of the guys gathered around, and they knew all the lyrics, so you could tell, like, this is, you know, something that they've been sharing. And I was just struck by, like, how powerful the music was, how much storytelling there was in 88's lyrics. But I didn't know the context of, you know, his story and the relationship between that and the music and how he came to the whole and writing that music in the hole. Fast forward a year after that film came out, they both approached me about, you know, would you want to work on a visual album? using 88's music, you know, you heard some of it. I was like, send me what you got.

And I, once I would like listen to the recordings and really like over the course of our development got to know more about how 88 came to the whole and then writing the music there and then what they were able to do inside producing a whole album, I knew that that we had something really special that could really be a testimony. Like 88's story is a testimony and the music is so, um, impactful in being able to like hold the narrative and tell his story so we started collaborating from there and really like evolved our relationship from this like kind of more traditional space of like journalistic i was the filmmaker they were the film participants to like co-collaborators

on this project and it was a true collaboration like 88 was inside the whole time we were eight months into the edit when he was released and and we managed to figure out how to collaborate um across the prison walls through phone calls, through letters, you know, 15-minute phone calls at a time. That's how we met. I got a two-part question for you, 88. What are you going to ask, Ritchie, how did he met? Because I know you asked both of them, but Richie didn't.

Yeah, Richie could fill in more, though, with it. I had met 88 while I was in prison. I had just released an album from prison, so everybody at the prison kind of knew me as a producer. So when 88 got to the yard, the people who knew him from other prisons were like, you got to meet 88, you got to meet 88. And, you know, I wasn't a lot of,

Everybody in prison think they can rap just like everybody on the streets think they can rap. You know what I'm saying? You got a way to go without his shit. Yeah. I wasn't like in a rush to meet him necessarily. I was like, okay. But when I did meet him, we have a homie named Talib who was trying to put together a poetry book. So he was bringing all these artists together and we had met in the law library.

And I heard him rap and sing. And I was blown away. Honestly, he could both rap and sing very well, which a lot of people can't do. Usually they do one well, and then the other they kind of do for fun. And the story he was telling and the position he had on it, it's not an easy thing to make music that doesn't necessarily glorify or judge the streets. And I was like, yo, let's make this album. Y'all had only equipment in jail?

You are able to have the equipment in jail? No, we broke the rules. Okay. The way that we made the album was against the rules. Well, y'all out now, so I said, how do you do it? But I can't tell you. Because there's people in who still make music that way. But, yeah, the way we made this album in prison was completely against the rules.

The prison was against it in every way. They ran up in my cell. They threatened to send me to the hole for making music. But it was like- They denied me at board for making music. Really? I was able to be a part of a collaboration that, Richie was EPN, and it featured incarcerated artists and free artists.

And when I got to board, they named that as like a reason why I was a danger to society is that you make music. Wow. Yeah. It's important to point out. He had life. He wasn't sentenced to 18 years. He was sentenced to 40 years to double life. Right. So, you know, we didn't know when 88 was coming home. We knew spiritually he was coming home, but we didn't know when he was coming home. So when we finished the album, we were like, you know, typically you finish. you do an album, then you tour it. And we didn't have that opportunity with him. So we were like, let's do a visual album. And that's kind of how the idea began. Then we approached Contessa,

and she built it out to an actual film. One other question. Is it true that you can't profit off of a crime that was done? Is that true? I always have to hear that. So in California, the way that the law is written is that basically you can't take, if you're incarcerated in California, you can't talk about your crime in a way that makes you money.

So you can't write a book about it and make money. You can't make music about it or a film. or anything and make money. All of that typically has to go to the people who are impacted by about the crime. And 88's case is unique in that his, he didn't, the album in the film is not about the fact that he harmed somebody, but rather that he had committed harm and he had been harmed, that his brother was murdered. So, but we also didn't release it until he got out.

During your time, I was talking about 88, like you turned music into a lifeline. right like what was the moment you realized music was an escape for you but I know that probably what kept you saying in the hole yeah as soon as I got in when I as soon as I got locked up I knew I grew up with music I grew up in a church I grew up singing I grew up rapping I started like writing in about the seventh grade so when I got locked up you don't know what the hell to do when you're a kid just in a box kind of you just sitting there thinking you're listening different sounds and suddenly next to me the cell next to me

is the hummy we call him Johnny West Jonathan Marquez he beating on the bed and he rapping but he rapping radio songs some of his

you know he was rapping some of his stuff but mostly he was just rapping songs that we all knew and so I was like hey yo I yelled through the van

like yo I could I could rap too like when we come out we're gonna rap we get to the day room he beat on the table and when I perform like these little

chicken shit ass excuse my language these little like you know raps I wrote in this series the you know the kids is kind of like yo you are and it's it's like changing the environment so when I when I realized like oh I could impact people around me just by you know occupying our time they're not like annoyed trying to get away from me they like spit that song um I started

to do it more and then I shared it with my father who um is an elder in the church and doesn't listen to hip hop and he's just like well you know son um you Music brings people joy. So if you share your gift with them and become their joy, they will protect their joy. And so share your gift with people, and you'll see that. Is that the moment you realize that music can also be your voice? Yeah, I mean, I've always known music was a medium to, like, express myself and use my voice. It was going to come in some oratory fashion for me, my dad being a pastor, my mom being a singer.

I knew, like, the power of my voice. I just didn't know the significance of it. Sometimes I still don't, but I didn't know that it could be meaningful to write what's happening in my life. To be meaningful that people would actually value it and care about it until I started to see the impact I was having on the yard. Contested, there's footage in the dock that shows a time when 88 and his family was still fighting for him to get out of prison. What made you see the value in his story before? knowing he'd be free than it. Hmm.

The value to me was the music itself, and, you know, I think we can share a little bit. I hope folks go watch the film on Netflix, but the whole story is leading up to the moment where 88 realizes that he's incarcerated with the person who killed his brother. Mm-hmm. Knowing that and what happened after that,

maybe that's the part I won't say, but that there was like so much power for healing and transformation, if people heard this story, to understand that, you know, what we were talking about in terms of, like, our culture's obsession and reliance on retribution and punishment and revenge, like, we can choose something else in our interpersonal relationships and systemically. So that's what drew me to it. But, no, we had no idea that 88 would have the opportunities that he had to come home.

Like Ritchie said, he had 40 years to life plus life. And we kind of structured the whole narrative arc of the story around spiritual freedom and like internal healing and freedom. And that's, you know, each music video treatment kind of builds on that healing the younger self. We didn't know that we would have the ending that we would have in the film when we started. And once those opportunities started picking up, so we're following, you know, his family going to court, what's condensed. down in the film was two and a half years of going to court. And then commutation from the governor, we had to follow it in real time because it was so, it was relevant to the story.

But it really was never a film about, because I think there's a lot of films about incarceration where it's centered on, does the person get to come home? And do we all get to celebrate at the end if they come home? We wanted to resist that because we really wanted it to feel like everyone watching this had an entry point into their own healing. So to make it about the spiritual journey was more satisfying for me, creatively, and I think for all of us spiritually. But then, you know, we got, we got the legal reason why I got home is irrelevant.

Because it's not legality that's going to get us free. For the incarcerated and for us as a people. It's found on that, brother, because I like what you're going with this. It's fine on that. So what I'm saying is like we participate in this system. We vote, we pay our taxes, we do the thing, and it's not working. It's not working for nobody. So it's working for the people who set it up.

That's true. It's working for, you know, some, but it's for for us. The system is working for the people who are designed to work for. Right. For us, it's a different story. And so my logic tell me it ain't going to be that that give me free. No, I agree with that. I've been running that thought in my mind lately.

Like, I think that we're just past the point of any political solutions. No. You know? We need freedom. Freedom now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to ask, you know. Oh, Richie, Rich you're about to say something.

I was just going to quickly say it's, it's, if you think about it, like, it's kind of silly to even believe that a system that was also set up by other flawed human beings is perfect. And that just by following the rules or voting or just, like, following the system that someone else set up, that that's all that's needed. And when our problems are so great, like actually, I think it calls upon us to say, okay, we can look at how this system is an improvement from, you know, the feudal system in kings and queens and serfs.

And, okay, we've improved from there. And there is much more improvement that needs to be done if we're going to live in integrity with each other in the earth. I wanted to ask, you know, it's hard not to talk about this because you really want people to see it, right? you want people to see the ends and out to this documentary. But I do want to ask about forgiveness, right? I was talking to Lauren earlier, and she was like certain things I just can't forgive, right?

She was like, I can't, like, you know, my family can and I can't. And I think Charlemagne knows me. There's certain things I ain't forgiven. It's like, it just is what it is. It's just, how did you find, I would say, I don't even want to say the courage, but how did you break down and be able to forgive somebody, especially the person that, you know, killed your brother. How, like, when did that happen? Was it immediately?

Did it take some time? Was it talking to me, a dad who was a pastor? When? Um, it, when I'm editing, I had to make a decision. It is not a superpower. It is not an impossibility to, to, you know, all due respect to the things you say you can't forgive. It's not.

I'm just not there yet. I'll get there one day. I'm just not there yet. But truly, it's a matter of choosing it. it's a matter of saying to me what I this is how I defined forgiveness for myself in that moment

you you kill my brother right how you get that back how he gone can't gone what do you owe me now

because that's what we're talking about in retribution in a retitory like system it's like now you owe me so this man Jay killed my brother now you owe me what do you owe me you owe me my brother what's the value of my brother's life it ain't even yours it ain't even your life for real your life is value differently

than my brother so i can't just take your life so now i know you can't pay me back so what i'm gonna do be mad my whole life i know you can't give it back i know you can't that's first for forgiveness i know you can't pay that debt so forgiveness to me is releasing within myself what I think you owe me because you hurt me. It's just letting go this idea that you're going somehow give it back or you're going to somehow realize that you owe it. It has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with me letting go of what it is.

I think you owe me because you did me sour. Right. Now add to that, I did somebody file. I did a number of somebody's file throughout my life. And I am not like, that's not my legacy that I want to leave it's not something that I want to be like I want to be known for hurting people nobody wants to be known for hurting people um and when you hurt someone as seriously as I have and you you want to be accountable for it um then you got to look at all the parts of your life but you were accountable if that individual wasn't accountable no no no if he wasn't accountable it don't make no difference are are you accountable are you accountable? about you yeah question don't you gotta give

you would have to give the person who killed your brother the same grace you would want the people family that you know you killed to give you right that's true and and I think that was clear

for me but I do not think that that is a requirement for forgiveness that you have to do an equal harm in order to forgive somebody who was harmed to because the truth is we all commit harm daily um in some form or another and i think when for me to forgive um i knew i wanted it in my life

i was i was trying to be as accountable um as i could be growing up in prison um but i i knew i wanted forgiveness more than i wanted anything because forgiveness symbolized being restored back to my community it symbolized me being restored back to my value that my grandmother sees when she look at me, you know, but I know the more and more I become accountable, it's not, forgiveness isn't something I can ask for. It's not even, I just took everything or I took a lot. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long

When he found out Trey's shortcomings... I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy spends time in Central Park, you know. He's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know. And I was like, all this kind of stuff going on. And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine. And they said, but he's impotent. And I was like, he's impotent.

And why he chose not to return to it just like that. They came and presented an idea, and I was like, I get, I see it. It's so kind of a one joke idea. You don't want to miss this.

The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, You wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them.

And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in, to connect the dots. How unusual is a deal like this? Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened.

However, what I can do is plant the seed in the universe. I can plant the seed in my daily walk and in the way I live. And maybe it'll come back. Maybe it'll come to somebody who needs it in my life.

But either way, a friend of mine, Chris Wachnick used to always say so accede from your greatest need. What you need the most, go give it to somebody. Songs from the whole, the documentary on Netflix right now. Definitely check it out and we appreciate you guys for joining us. Thank you for having us truly. James, JJ 88

Jacobs, Contessa Gales, and Richie Small are receiving. Thank you so much. That's the breakfast club. Lauren becoming a straight fact. Tell her, man. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail.

I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Okay, so the Reckoning, which is a new Diddy documentary, will stream on Netflix on December 2nd,

and it will be brought to us by 50 Cent. So 50 Cent is the executive producer of the documentary, and then Alexandria Stapleton, who is an award-winning director, is also helping him. bring this project to Netflix. Now, today, this morning, 50 Cent will, in Alexandria, will be on Good Morning America. That goes live at 8 a.m. And we'll actually be revisiting once they're actually live

so that we can kind of talk about what they're talking about and some exclusive details just around the full situation. And looking at things from both sides, from Diddy's side, but also 50 Cent's side. So we'll be back with some more exclusives in the next hour. But the background and the premise of this documentary is basically, it's supposed to be a conversation about how the industry puts celebrities on a pedestal and when you do that what this means. So Alexandria Stapleton says this isn't about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie or the story of any of the victims or the allegations against him or the trial.

Ultimately, this story is a mirror reflecting us as a public and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. Now, I'm going to be honest with y'all, a lot of people thought that 50 Cent was kind of like just trolling when he was talking about. doing this documentary. I thought he was too. I didn't really know because you just never know what 50 cent, but for Netflix to be the platform that he's doing it on, when I saw it, I was like, oh, wow, okay, only because Diddy has come after other places that have done documentaries. So he's currently suing, and this has been since February, for $100 million, NBC, Peacock over a documentary that they did, where his team alleges that they didn't vet a lot of the claims in a documentary. I think it's

smart. That 50 cent waited until everything happened to do the documentary, but it is just a dicey situation to be in. Didn't TMZ do one too? Didn't TMZ do a couple of documentaries? Well, see, but a lot of a lot of what normally when you do these documentaries,

the attorneys want you to reach out and vet claims and allegations and get both sides. Diddy's attorneys are claiming that like with the NBC Peacock situation, they said to them hey, these things aren't true and they still added certain things in a documentary that then certain lawsuits were dropped about and like whatever

so they went forward with their lawsuit so yeah there's a way that you can do it where you can protect yourself legally but we'll see they're supposed to have never before seen video that's what I'm interested in yeah I heard them say that in the clip he posted last night from Robin Roberts I'm wondering what is never before seen video so they actually

begin rolling it out and we'll have that in the next hour one of the videos is actually you guys remember Diddy was here in New York in that hotel waiting to turn himself in but they ended up going and just getting him and locking them up there's video from that time where he's actually going back and forth with his attorneys about this situation. Yeah, so this one's going to be a really close look

as we figure out what it was like as Diddy was heading to jail. So we'll be back with more in the next hour. So that's what it's about when he's headed to jail? It's a timeline. So I'm assuming it's going to start when the claims first started because they do mention Cassie. Don't assume. Do you know?

I'm telling you what the Netflix rundown says. So according to Netflix rundown, it's going to encompass everything, but they don't want it just to be about. about Cassie or just to be about victims or just to be about Diddy. So it seems like it's going to be the timeline of everything we've talked about up here. Things we've never

seen interviews, they say with people that are close or were close in Diddy's orbit. But the bigger conversation is how did we get here? But we'll be back with more and I'll have some exclusive details. I wonder that's going to be interesting because 50 Cent is a rapper, right? And 50 Cent is a rapper who's, I guess, considered

you consider him a gangster rapper, right? And you know him and Eminem and Dr. How do you hold a mirror up hip hop without holding the mirror up to yourself as well there's a lot of people that have been asking that question I want to see it I want to see how they did this based off what you just read us I want to see yes it would be pretty interesting

yeah I want to see what it's about like what the documentary is about is it just the rise of a hip hop person or if it's based off of the sexual assault you know seems like it's going to touch on a little bit yeah no not tomorrow we'll see next hour it goes live this today we'll see next hour now

in other news taking a completely No, I mean, the documentary comes out today, the interview drops today, but the documentary actually... Yeah, but you'll see some of the video, yeah, December 2nd. But you'll see some of the video they gave it exclusively to GMA. I know because I tried to get it for us, but they said they couldn't because they had a situation with GMA already. But yeah, so we'll see and talk about some stuff in the next hour. Now, in other news, Candy Burrs and Todd Tucker. So I know you guys reported on their divorce and, you know, all the things after 11 years.

Now, over... How do you say you know we reported when you wrote... She wrote the stuff for me. She wrote the script for me. She wanted you to deliver the game. I made sure you stayed up to date. But over the weekend, holiday weekend, Candy had posted a photo of like their Thanksgiving dinner and Todd wasn't in the photo.

I wasn't surprised to not see him in the photo because she said that it's been tough. It's been a lot. It's been a long time coming. But she came in the comments and said before anybody starts anything, he was here for Thanksgiving dinner, but he didn't stay for the photo. His daughter is like the daughter that he had prior to Candy is in the photo. there are children are in the photo or whatever

but people made it a thing now I spoke to somebody who would know who tells me that they're handling this the best way that they can he was always invited to Thanksgiving dinner was never not going to be invited and people want to make it very salacious and you know whatever because

they've been together for so long but it's not that I also saw a photo circulating of like there's like a baby that was supposed to have happened and that's why they 100% not true from what I'm told so yeah when people explain themselves to social media are they doing this because they really want to clear the air

or they're just doing this for their own engagement. Because I can't believe that people sit around and be like, I'm going to tell everybody why he didn't come to Thanksgiving at dinner. Well, he came. But she just explained herself and said why he didn't. Why? You don't know none of these people. Like, what is the point? I don't understand. I really don't understand that

life. And I'm actually shocked that Candy did that. Well, I'm not because Candy always, you know, she does her speak on it. So she's doing it for her own engagement? Or because she really cares about what people think. It may be a little bit of both. But I know in her speak on it, she always addresses what's going on with her.

Even on her Amazon Live, like she was like, I'll talk about this when I'm ready, but she gave us enough. Yeah, like she's a person that kind of interacts with her people. But just to see the picture that she had posted from Thanksgiving and then put in the captions for all y'all who want think that you, you know, I just, I wish I could see it. Because she's doing it for engagement.

Yeah, because as soon as I saw the picture, I was looking for Todd. I was like, all right, well, first getting Thanksgiving without them. But I do get why Todd, you know, reached out to you. or whoever you reached out to the sources and said that he didn't cheat and he doesn't have a baby on the way because I would want to clear that one up.

I think everybody's trying to figure out what happened. Yeah, and wrapping up. Everybody's trying to figure out what happened. We still don't know. I didn't get that answer to that question, but from what I was still doing. But don't want nobody to know nothing about your own life. You can know what you want to know.

Oh, we're going to open up the phone lines next hour. 800-585-105-1. We're going to ask about, you know, when you're dating with somebody, is it okay to pop the question? Do we go together? Do we go together? Do you mind the writer or note with the boxes to check?

Yes, no, or maybe. How are you not thinking of a note, too? We'll talk about that in a little bit, but we got Dunkin today up next. We're talking about. Before, after the hour, I'm spinning the block because I should have did this last week, but I need you all Santana to come to the front of the congregation.

We like to have a word with him. You're doing it now? Yes, I am. All right. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. We'll get to it next. We're reading all Thanksgiving break.

We'll get to it next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. You are a donkey of the day Don't get undershay You are a donkey It's time for donkey of the day Donkey of the day does not discriminate

I might not have the song of the day But I got the donkey day So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man To give it with the heat I'm a breakfast club bitch Who's donkey of the day today Well Ed Sharon Donkey of the Day today for Monday

December 1st goes to Jewel Santana Now I know in this fast-moving a media ecosystem, a story that's a week old like this one can be considered ancient. Okay, but damn it, if you're still eating Thanksgiving leftovers today, then shut it up. All right, your concept of old is off. But the reason I want to do this story is because we spoke about

it last week during the latest. And I kept thinking to myself, why didn't I give Jewel Santana donkey today for this? I was thinking about that over the holiday break, and it could be such a teachable moment. Okay, so let's spin the block, all right? Jules was on the No Funny podcast with Kenny K.P. Supreme

And DP, salute to those brothers. And Jewel said that financial literacy holds more importance than reading. Let's go to the No Funny podcast to hit what Jewel's had to say. We got to start teaching our kids, though, just financial wealth and literacy and all that. That's early because by the time they get the ninth grade, they should be just learning how to start businesses. These kids can't read. But they don't really need to know how to read. Wait, stop.

I say that respectfully. I'm not saying that in a way to be literate because you're not supposed to be literate, but you can... What's more going to be reading or math? Math. You can still obtain the information. You don't have to know how to read. I believe common sense is better than everything.

I'm a common sense. I'd rather have zero book smarts and common sense be able to read the room, be able to read life, be able to read people. I try to understand people, understand. And I'm saying, like, nowadays, you can listen to a book. You can read your contract, elves. You don't have to listen to that, too.

They got big of apps you can put it in and then to read it to you. Are you crazy? Now, I admit, I don't speak nigger like I used to, but I still speak it very fluently. Okay. And I understand a lot of what Joel Santana is attempting to say. And I want to tell you why I don't agree. First of all, there shouldn't be an either or to this discussion.

All right. You should be able to read and you should learn financial literacy. And, you know, if you're going to learn financial literacy, you need to know how to read. Okay, you need to know how to read to really become financial literacy. financially literate. If you rely on the apps and audio books, then you're always going to be dependent on someone else's translation. But if you know how to read, then you have direct access to the information yourself. Then you can read it. Okay. And what you can't comprehend, what you don't understand, then you can ask questions. That is the beauty of reading. Okay. But you can't do any of that. All right. You can't comprehend or understand if you don't know how to read first. All right. Kids need to learn how to read. Full stop. All right. Adults, needs to know how to read full stop reading matters so much man first of all reading scrimpins your brain okay when you're flipping pages the coding sentences uh visualizing ideas it helps to build mental discipline and build your vocabulary and build your reasoning skills

even empathy all right reading trains critical thinking which is really a lost art nowadays okay books expose you the complexity okay not just in regards to understanding the complexity of financial literacy but emotional intelligence okay more Moral judgment, pattern recognition, if you don't understand anything I'm saying right now, then there's another example of why you should read more. Okay, financial literacy is vital. There's no argument there, but there are studies that show financial education efforts produce better outcomes when coupled with general literacy. Okay, budgeting, investing, financial resilience, all improve when people have a broad literacy foundation. Also, guys, I don't know if y'all notice or not, but math and financial literacy are not the same thing.

Okay, they overlap, but they're not the same thing. Math is like the toolbox, right? You got your numbers and your equations and, you know, operations and your logic, you know, adding and the subtracting, the multiplying, dividing. Math is about how numbers work. But financial literacy is about how money works. Okay, it's about how people use money in the real world. So yes, you need math to understand financial literacy, especially in regards the percentages and interest rates and basic calculations. So I understand what y'all was trying to say in that conversation, but I need y'all to understand how,

stupid y'all look to a lot of people okay nothing worse than watching a group of black men be happy about not knowing nothing okay all right there's nothing worse than watching a group of black men be happy about not being able to read all right joel's you from hallam okay you know you know who else was from hallam malcolm x was from hallam and malcolm x used reading to realize his full potential i would say reading is the superpower that turned malcolm little into malcolm x Okay, Malcolm X once told Alex Haley, I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me, something long, dormant, craving to be mentally alive. That was Malcolm X.

You know what my daddy used to say? He used to say, if you want to hide something from a niggas, put it in a book. All right? That right there should make us intellectually curious enough to want to know. what the hell are they hiding from us all right pick up a damn book kids all right everything that joel's was saying you should learn can be learned by reading books teach history and culture and you know most importantly something that's missing from the world they teach you context all right the world is out of context because people don't even understand they don't even

understand what context is nowadays and you can do audiobooks okay you can do audio books i recommend you do both all right but i'm telling you if you want to work out your brain if you want to you know do some exercise on your brain, read. Okay. And it's more important now than ever that we read because according to the National Literacy Institute, not only a 21% of American adults illiterate, but also 130 million adults are now unable to read a simple story

to their children. You can't even give your kids cat in a hat, okay? You don't know how to read to your kids, man. That's something money can't buy. Okay, reading to your kids before bedtime, you can't put a dollar amount on that but the way this world is going you're going to have kids in first grade reading the daddy before he goes to bed if the father's even in the house okay listen i'm all for teaching our people how to handle money okay i'm all for teaching our people how to invest and build businesses but to think that reading is secondary it's like saying the foundation don't matter as long as you got nice windows okay i promise you one of the fastest ways to level up is reading okay that's how you learn that'll teach you how to question things that'll teach you how to think that's what literacy teaches you how to do read learn question think so kids okay invest in your mind

right invest in your mind just like you want to invest in your pockets not because you're trying to get rich but so you can stay sharp and not sound illiterate on somebody's podcast please give you L Santana the biggest he huh okay wanted to put that on record. Mm-hmm. Okay. That way. Yes.

What? It's sad. It is. It's sad. Yeah. But you, just as, just aside, but you know where the frustration comes from, right? Well. It comes from him being in the industry early, making all this money, and then losing a lot of it.

Yeah. And being damn there broke and saying, I wish I knew generational wealth and financial literacy to figure out what to do with that money. Because him, he's probably in a situation who was like, I wish I knew what to do with the money more than anything else. but it's also You're still isn't even hard to read Yeah, it's also with the reading

And you're a rapper The more you read The better you get is an MC Yeah Like you're in the world economy But that comes from I'm sure Personal the fact that he had a whole lot And had all this money

And money coming in And he didn't know what to do with the finance What to do with the money How to invest And he lost it all And that's what that frustration comes From him saying I wish I went to class

And did you know Financial literacy opposed to But the moral of the story It's not an either or No it's not It's all encompassing. It's all part of education. It's all part of an education that you should try to acquire on this planet while you're here.

All of it. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, Shalemite. Now, can we bring Lauren back in? Can we have a real conversation? 800-585-105-1. It's the Jewel's instrumental, y'all. You're crazy.

800-585-105-1. Now, over the weekend, she went out of the country for her brinket-o-one. And during this, I guess, vacation, her babe put on a, I guess it was like a note on the window that said, will you go out with me? So the question is, 800-581-105-1. Is it necessary to ask the question, will you go out with me? First of all. Do you have to ask whether I'll go out with you? As an uncle, I was embarrassed.

And the reason I was embarrassed. For Lorna for him. Yes, because you already out the country. So you already went out the country with the guy. So clearly all have established something. Right. So you post a picture and your close friends and on the window. though it says, will you be my girlfriend?

I thought it was a proposal. I thought it was going to be my girlfriend. When I seen all the roses and everything, I said, oh, oh, oh, oh. He wanted to. I said, who's going to walk lowering down the aisle? I thought you was getting proposed to. But, see, I know how to read. So when I read it, I was like, will you be my girlfriend?

Yes, I thought it was really, really cute. Why do you hate it so bad? I thought it was cute. And then that only sets him up for the proposal. What the hell are we going to do? for that if he had to take you to know though like we're not 16 anymore We went out the country together

So at that point Did Chris have to ask you do we go out or do y'all just was like See? Exactly exactly we got to wrap He didn't ask you No I needed to know for sure Let's discuss it's the breakfast club

Good morning Morning everybody is DJ NV Just hilarious Shalameen the guy We are the breakfast club Now if you just joining us We're taking your calls 800 58515151 Now over the weekend our very own Lauren was on a vacation

for her birthday and you know she posted everything so cool it was so nice everything was so dope then all of a sudden we see this room with roses and flowers and then on the window it says will you go out with me

will you be my girl will you be my girl so we're asking 800585 1051 I think it's crazy that y'all think it's crazy that I wanted to know you go out with somebody is it necessary to ask the question will you go out with me that is what it is I guess that's the I think it's cute. I think and yes

to ask you a question before we went to break yeah Chris did ask me to be his girlfriend um and he just straight asked me over dinner and he ain't take me out you know what I'm saying? Whatever he didn't take me to Mexico you just was together you know we did not He never got to beat

Miamo Shut up no but I thought it was very very cute I think he just wanted to court her like the right way I mean because I guess it's been unspoken y'all were dating for a while It's been a thing, but I did make a big deal because I'm like, it's a thing, but I felt like, the last time I was in a relationship, that relationship started, I was like 19, 20. So I've been asking, even here, I'm like, how do you have that conversation as an adult?

Like, what is it? Like, I didn't remember what it was like. So when we just, like, we linked and then we never, like, we've been together since. So it kind of like just turned into a thing. And I was like, let's have the conversation. So we had the conversation. Then I was like, I feel like that was supposed to be cuter. Like, it was supposed to be a thing.

And he was like, that makes no sense. It's like if we together and we're doing this and we've made it exclusive and we whatever, why does all that matter? And then when I walked, it was kind of funny because when I walked in, I was like, you get on my nerves because I made it such a thing. And he's like, if we've talked about it, why is it a thing? And I'm like, I want all the bells and whistles all the time. And so we delivered and that's where the trips to the Bahamas. So why is it stupid? And the relationship proposal came from.

Ben, my head. Go ahead. Well, now, as a very judgmental unc, I try to mind my business and talk behind your back. And you thought I put you in my clothes. I would never. But since you bring it to the radio, let's discuss. Okay. I'm just saying you've been telling us that you had a man for a while.

I personally know you was too niggalo, okay? But you've been like, no, stop saying that. I got one boyfriend. That's what you've been telling you. Yeah, stop saying that. I got one boyfriend. I got one boyfriend. My man, my man, my man.

But to me, if that was your man and y'all go out to country and he finally asked you to be his girlfriend, I'm like, oh, so you was the only person acknowledging that you was in a relationship up until that point. Oh, damn. That's why I'm taking it. No. No, you're taking it that way because you like a plot twist. We all know how the girls get down.

We know how the girls get down. It's been a thing. What do we talk about in life? We talk about how things. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers.

Have to be in context. All I saw was a video, a picture, and the picture said on the glass, will you be my girlfriend? But I sit with you here every day and I tell you, that's my boyfriend. I tell you what's going on the way. We know this. We do Loolemon. Damn. We know this. But so when I see it... You think I'm a delusional girl? I'm just going off what I saw.

Envi, you think I'm a delusional girl? When you saw it, what did you think? I thought it was funny. I laughed. And we laughed too. You didn't think like, damn, he just asking her to be... See, but this is the thing. But now when you were crazy...

No, we laughed too because it's like... When I first saw it, I was like, damn, they just asked. They just get into this now. But when you break it down, it's cute. It's the fact you had the conversation. Right. It was something that was bubbling in a relationship. And he was like, I'm just going to ask officially.

Why is because Lauren done the most? So I didn't know the backstory. And that was certified. All right, you didn't ask either. But this is what you don't understand? You're posting this to the world. I don't care. The whole world is like,

damn, they're out the country and he just asking her to be a girl for the drugging on the radio for a whole year. Talking about she got a man. You know what? You know what people were asking me? Everybody was like, so did you say yes? You didn't, you left us with a cliffhanger. And I was like, I didn't.

Everybody was asking. Why would you on that shipper pole? That's what the chat is asking. But let's go to the phone back. She was on a stripper pole. Oh, you see the shit pole? Nice. That was a video just missed.

She got all the other videos. She missed that one. He was like, God damn it. I spoke too soon. I shouldn't ask to be my girlfriend. Hello, who is this? Hello, who's this? Eddie.

Hello, this Christian from Miami. Bauer County can do more specific. Talk to us, brother. What's your thoughts? Foolish, man. I got like three girlfriends. I don't know. I feel like some high school stuff to ask her,

especially if you're taking her out of town. Not the town. Not the town. That's my point. And on top of it, I feel like females, they really just like it more so just for the post more than anything. They want to make that IG post. They want to feel special, you know, go back to their friends. That's just my opinion.

I got three girlfriends. I never asked one to be my girlfriend. By the way, if you're posting that on the gram, you are child this year. You need to grow. Don't nobody care about your little go-together and big 30s plus years. If I wanted to do it for the gram, there was so much more I could have posted. I kept a lot between us. If you get proposed, yes.

You know what I'm saying? If you get proposed to yes. Yeah, my proposal will be a thing. It'll be a whole unveiling. It'll be exclusive somewhere, potentially like essence, vogue, whatever. We'll figure it out. But it was cute and I wanted to share it. I just think it's crazy to go out the country with somebody that's already been sweating on you

and have them ask you just to be a girlfriend. That has been my man. What's wrong with me? I think it's cute. I get it now. Yeah, because what's wrong with that. Sim actually was with me when we first started having a conversation. First of all, stop taking advice from single women.

No, no, no, no. No, she actually told me I was doing a bit too much. Someone's like, look, this man has already been dedicated to you. Y'all, I've talked about what y'all need to talk about. The bells and whistles, why does that, like, matter to you? And I was like, I just think it's true. You didn't have that young love, so you want that love now. Wait, I did.

Young love. No, no, you said you were in, you haven't been in a relationship with you was 19. Yeah, but I was young. So what do you mean? And so now you're an adult. Oh, you mean like a real thing. relationship as an adult and you wanted to be formally asked

you got to formally ask me everything I also wanted just even when we had the conversation I was like I just wanted no blurred lines because I was a little bit like are we are we not like what's happening so you didn't know this whole year this whole year no my man my man my man

wasn't when I told you I needed to have a conversation because I was confused that was a long time ago before that trip it was a long time before the trip and just until this vacation you finally got clarity? No. You out here letting them sweat on you? No. That sounds crazy because you've been screaming out. And if you just... You all are making

this into... We're making this too? Y'all are making this a thing. That confusion was like seven months ago. So you been confused for seven months? No, stupid. And when did you get clarity? I've been at clarity. This was just a little cherry on top. Which I just did this for the gram. I shouldn't ever posted it. 585.105.

I was drunk and happy. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. If you just joining us, Lauren La Rosa was on her little vacation and she posted a video and in the hotel room there was roses

and flowers and then written on the window said, will you be my girlfriend? Will you be my girlfriend? She already out the country. I've been claiming this man for a whole year. But now she said she knows. And the guy just made it official. I been new. I've been at least now

it's official. No, it's been official. So what's the difference now? Like, is it a Is it a phone-up relationship, but like you can say, hey, bad, here's my phone, and you can say, I'm taking your phone. No, the difference is now. Been there. Been there.

No. Oh, the internet. That's the difference. And I'm not going to call you two niggas low no more, because now I understand why you were still hanging on the two guys. Very good. You wait for the question. You get on my nerves, I'm not true.

You just, that's basically what you're talking about. No, no. It had nothing to do with the other people. You had to have a backup plan. And I remember you saying something like that a long time ago. You was like, whoever steps up. I remember you saying something like that. Oh, I remember you saying.

No, I said who, yeah, I mean, he wasn't even, no. You tell her yourself. No, because we had that right. That was way before he was even in the picture. That was a way. Oh, my God. You're down to you're going to love. Jesus.

That was in February, early February, and I was joking. No, it was around Balatized days. Yes, it was. And I remember you said, whoever step up, I remember you said that. You had your own episode of Love Island going on. Down. Low Island. Damn.

Damn. You're talking about to turn out of the I, though. You're doing it. You're doing on yourself. Hello, who's this? Oh, my guys. Hey, y'all. This is Sidney.

Hey, what's up? Hey, y'all. So, first of all, Charlemagne and Envi, y'all haters. Thank you. Thank you. Because it's nothing wrong with her boyfriend.

Because it's nothing wrong with her boyfriend asking her in the cutest way to be his girlfriend. And in this climate of dating, we actually need to establish if we're going to be together, if we're a boyfriend, a girlfriend, because if not, it leaves room for air. Because if they just acting like they're together and they're not, that's when people start, you know, acting funny,

like having other people on the side. And then it's like, I mean, we didn't say that we were together. So what's wrong with him establishing that they're together? I'm going to let you know. Uncle is a hater. I'm a big hater. Okay, you know what I'm saying? Because I want to make sure that my people are being represented properly at all times.

She's been out here claiming this man for a whole damn near year. And he's just getting around the act. asking her to be his girlfriend? I mean, they could have did it in private, and y'all just didn't know about. And that's exactly what I just told him. That is not what you just told you. That is. I said we had a conversation of a long time ago.

The confusion was a long time ago was clear. No, you were confused. You just told us that you were the one that was confused, and you just told us that you was waiting on one of these men to properly step up. That's what dating is about. You hold on the one and wait for the other one and then you go to the other one. Y'all ain't never been sitting here. I'm not the minute here.

What do you want to make it? It's a relationship It's called monkey bar You hold on a word of town What do you want Your daughter That are single And

Look at that monkey Just swinging from one monkey To the next That's the monkey Me or him No you hold on to the boss It's added Anyway, guys

Don't even go into it You suppose a date And figure things out And then lock in What makes the most sense And what it's like You know What your passion

And your love is No Don't debt me up about nothing Come on Come on That's what I'm talking about. No It's never been too

nothing. You just admitted to it. This was before him. Could you stop? Could you stop? I'm not sure. So what's the moral of your story? The moral of the story is there's nothing wrong with clarity, period. There you go. At all. I want to be clear about everything in my life in this season. Even if it's eight months in, I get it. I don't care if you got it.

I don't care if you got asked me or tell me three, four, five thousand times. If you want to tell me and show your love for me, keep doing it. I love that. Love to see. I love to be a part of it. I had a great birthday and I got great gifts. And I'm going to Ghana for the years. With my man, it was my birthday gift For New Year's Eve, for Duddy December Okay, so maybe he'll propose. Don't put that pressure on that.

It's not too early for that. If he proposed, I would say yes. Oh, okay. You would say yes? That's 100%. But he knows I want my proposal. I want my grandmother and everybody be there. My grandmother is flying to Ghana, so that happened.

Nice. He can do it twice. He can do it in front of the family. See, twice if I would have said do it twice, you'd be like, what? He got to propose twice. You didn't believe it. What?

Can I say something respectfully? No. No. Why would you want to propose to somebody in Delaware? Like, seriously. You know what I'm saying? Why are you putting that on that? It could be in New York. If you can get in a car and go anywhere, my grandmother's not getting on a plane or boat. Okay, okay, but

goddamn. But that's what I said. Do a choice. That is a little crazy to get down on your knee in the middle of Delaware. You know what's in Baltimore? He can't even get down. He got to really stay down if he can get down. I appreciate the jokes about Baltimore, but we have a bigger you can sit. You can sit Delaware inside.

of the hood and you got good stuff we got a waterfront too y'all got a waterfront now ball harbor we got waterfront yeah okay we got other things more than what's the thing we used to book when you a kid like the veterans in like the end the little in thing where you could rent them out you could do that and it'd be dope okay I ain't know you had a waterfront so they got waterfront yeah it's with nice restaurants and beaches we do okay there's actually a gay beach I bet you know oh I got gay beach and so I'm not I'm just being a clucid You know the beaches. That is not homophobic. I, you know, I support you.

All right. All right. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. We do got the latest. So we are going to go back 50 cents. So he is telling all about his new documentary. He sat down with Good Morning America and Robin Roberts. And we're going to get into it. Well, let's get to it now. Lauren becoming a free fat. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

She gets to detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. She'd be having the latest on this. latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club.

Talk to me. All right, so 50 Cent in Alexandria, who is working with him on this documentary, sat down with Robert Roberts and Good Morning America to talk about Sean Combs, the Reckoning, which is a new documentary that he is bringing to Netflix about Diddy and everything that has been happening over this last year or so. And it airs tonight at midnight, so December 2nd, it's live on Netflix. It's a four-part series. Now, they talk about a lot of things.

So first, you get to see some of the footage that 50 cent was able to obtain that was never before seen. And these are the days leading up until when Diddy was arrested. Let's take a listen to days leading up to arrest. Never before seen footage of Sean Diddy Combs in the days leading up to his arrest in New York last September. You want to put this stuff in my fan back in? The exclusive video obtained by Netflix shows Combs debating with his. lawyers about strategy. Listen to me. I'm going to get off the phone right now, and I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution. No matter what,

no matter what nobody said. Let's just here and there, y'all are not working together the right way. We're losing. Was anything that surprised you when you were watching? It was surprising that he actually filmed it. It was very interesting to watch a man who's known for his brand presence. he has a really amazing knack for marketing and all of that and how he was sort of taking that into account and how he was coming off to the public

geez yeah so that's all we get to see now but in the actual documentary you get to go more into those days with him now here is the crazy part about all this so it's all crazy because if he was if he filmed that how to know we hear it so did he had a video

person a photographer that was always with him these couple days that video person sent someone and didn't come on his own. Diddy has a legal agreement from what I'm being told by his team. He had a legal agreement with that videographer, photographer. They're not for sure if it covers this person that would have sold or whatever, however 50 to entertain this footage. There was also a disagreement between Diddy and this person who shot this footage. This guy was never paid and they didn't find that out, his attorneys until this documentary dropped. So all of that stuff, edited, unedited, that was shot in that time. They are, it's, I mean, if they

bought it and they own it the right way and Diddy's team is still checking that out it's there to be used so we are about to see some things that I'm sure if he was in control of we might not have seen now they also get into the fact that people are saying 50 cents you're trying to take Diddy or add on to

what Diddy is going through because it's personal let's take a listen How do you respond to people who say that that it's more about the disdain that you have for Sean Combs than it is for giving the victims a platform what they consider a pre-existing beef right for 20 years is me being uncomfortable with him suggesting that he takes me shopping or I looked at it like he

was like it was like a tester like maybe you'll come play with me type of thing and it's not personal I think it's important to also let people know that this the show is not completely the perspectives of people that did not like Sean we weren't trying to just get the highlights the salacious details you know that the real goal was to storytell and if you not everyone needed to have an allegation to be a part of this project Was that the whole context of what 50 said? Did you edit something? I need to hear the whole context.

That's crazy. But y'all know 50 cents are so, you know, he's being a little humorous at the same time. I mean, I don't, we don't know that. And for all we know, Diddy really made him feel uncomfortable when Diddy said he wanted to take him shopping. And by way, yeah, 50, I've been talking about that for years. Diddy was up here and Diddy was like he wanted to take 50 shopping, man. 50 stupid to it. That's one of the people you don't play with.

If you got problems with him, you got problems with him for life. Now, question, who else is on the documentary? So, listen, they have. jurors that are part of it, Aubrey O'Day who was a former member of Danny DeCain and making the band. Kirk Burroughs who was co-founder of Bad Boy. What was a guy who rubbed the semen on his nipples?

I don't know that men's, that squirt's name. Oh, my God. It wasn't a punisher? That wasn't a punisher? No, it was a different one. That was the finisher. Hey, yo. D1, Eric Sermon, Roxanne Johnson. Eric Sermon.

Eric Sermon. Yeah. The EPMD? rapper and former member of EPMD. Roxanne Johnson. who was ex-wife of bad boy artist Craig Mack Mark Curry who's a former bad boy artist Kalina Harper which I think is also insane because you guys know she's a former member of

dirty money and this is the so it was her and it was Dawn remember people were alleging that Diddy like might have paid her off or something because he was there was contact between him and her and she was saying that what Dawn was saying wasn't true Brooklyn Baps who was on making the band Clayton Howard

Capricorn Clark I'm like Capricorn Clark who's a former assistant and creative director of Bad Boy She had some good testimony That was the one that was in the car

When they Allegedly blew up his car Yeah But I'm like yo How did he get her in this I don't know Yeah there's about to be And the jurors

Why do you think she wouldn't do a duck She testified Yeah against them I mean I I don't know But the jurors I think Anna, I think she wants to write a book. Yeah, she does.

Why wouldn't she do a doc? I just thought maybe she, no, I don't know. Listen, she's gone through her own experiences. It is. Like, I cannot believe. The jurors, too, even like the people who like. They talk to the jurors as well. Yeah, they talk to a, it just says jurors with an ass.

I don't know, like, who, whatever. Well, we get to watch tomorrow. Tonight at midnight. Tonight at midnight. Yeah, we're staying up for that. Now, let's take a listen. I'm staying up for this one. I'm going to stay up for it too.

I'm saying. I'm going to watch this one. So a lot of people have been talking about. you know whether this turns another bad light onto hip-hop and hip-hop being attacked and like why 50 cent wants to be the person that adds into this let's take a list in 50 talk about that do you think that hip-hop culture was on trial as much as Sean Combs was not oh look if I didn't say anything you would have interpreted as hip-hop is fine with his behaviors there's no one else being

vocal so you would look at it and just say because that mind your business or let me not say nothing about nothing or those things it would a lot the entire culture to register as if they're for that behavior. If Sean Combs watches this, what do you think he's going to feel? Like, wow, this is amazing. I think he's going to say this is the best documentary I've seen in a long time. Because you'll see people saying that. He might feel a different way about pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth.

I think he'll see the truth in it. Yo, this has nothing to do with hip-hop, and I hate when they do that. Like, when Harvey Weinstein is on trial, nobody says, what is this Hollywood on trial? When Abercrombie and Fitzgoy is on trial, nobody says it's the clothing industry on trial. Like, no, it has nothing to do with hip-hop. This was one man's choices. That's it.

This is about Diddy and nothing else. This thing I'm nothing to do with no damn hip-hop. I hate when they do that. I'm sure you're going to see a bunch of lawsuits because if that guy worked for Diddy and he sold that footage to somebody else, he had to be under contract, right? There had to be stipulations because there's no way Diddy's going to have people around him that he does not own that footage. I can't see that. That was the first question I asked.

Why did you make a mistake? Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. And then how the hell are you going to let them just leave with the footage? That footage comes with me. That SD call come with me. So I don't have any confirmations of any legal action as of yet.

But the statement that I received from Diddy's team says that we have confirmed that Netflix used footage that was never authorized for release, including private moments. The footage was created for an entirely different purpose under an agreement that was never completed. So for background information, what I was told was that Diddy's team says

that there was supposed to have been a conversation between Netflix and Diddy. And he was recording footage Diddy to do his own documentary. But once he was told he was not going to have full creative control, he backed out of the situation with Netflix and they believe that this is some of the footage that was being used for that. But from what I was told, there is a contract with the original

photographer, videographer, but they don't know if it covers this guy yet. So they're still trying to sort that out to see if there's any legal steps that they can take. And then I wonder if legal steps are taking, do they go after the videographer? Because he's the one that allegedly sold it, right? So they would have to go after him because they made the deal with him,

correct? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. The doctor's already coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to see it. Even if it's pulled down, you're going to watch it. Everybody going to watch it tomorrow. They're going to record it. And plus it's Netflix, right? Netflix ain't even going to put that out

unless they've already crossed all the T's Dotted their T's. Dotted the T's. Huh? I said, crossed their T's and dot the I. You said, Dotted the T's. I said, cross the T's. Crossed no eyes. I said, cross the T's and Dada die.
