And, of course, up next, we've got front page news. There's a lot going on. Joe Biden, he addressed the country about guns. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. Tez will be joining us at the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have Ms. Pat, our co-host. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, family. Good morning, everybody.

Tez is back this morning, and let's get it started. Your president addressed the nation. He was talking gun control yesterday. First, this executive order helps keep firearms out of dangerous hands as I continue to call on Congress to require background checks for all firearm sales. In the meantime, my executive order directs my attorney general to take every lawful action possible to move us as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation. I just it's just common sense. The executive order also expands public awareness campaigns about the red flag orders laws. Second thing it does does the executive order

ramps up our efforts to hold the gun industry accountable it's the only outfit you can't sue these days it does that by calling out for an independent government study that analyzes and exposes how gun manufacturers aggressively market firearms to civilians especially minors including by using military imagery let me ask you a question would there ever be proper gun legislation when these politicians are in the pocket in the pockets of these uh organizations like the nra well i would hope so but as you know i love to keep it real uh right now as it stands and how and how it's been for a very long time this is just where uh there is the the senate and the congress

has always been just deeply divided and even when democrats control both the house and the senate we know that uh joe manchin got a strong pimp hand and so he he also uh was not uh interested in banning assault rifles he was looking at a one point of raising the age from 18 to 21, but they just cannot come together when it comes to banning assault rifles. And that is the main assault weapons. That is the main issue where there's a divide. Now, this particular executive order, like you heard the president say, it is going to help crack down on background checks, try to strengthen that it will also improve um um tracking guns and ammunition for uh for things that are lost and stolen it also gives better transparency for gun dealers and so forth um but bottom line charlemagne the main issue is banning the assault weapons and that is just something that right now uh has not happened and it doesn't look like it's going to

happen in the near future but president biden said he vows to seek past uh he vows to continue to fight this but a vow uh means nothing when you talk about actually getting it done and to your point all you gotta do is just look up which senators have benefited the most money uh from from the nra you know that they say majority of americans want stronger gun laws but you know the nra has spent over three million dollars to benefit political campaigns and senators who oppose gun safety legislation. Let me ask you a question, Tez, into the room. But I know a lot of these shootings and things happen with illegal guns. So them checking people's backgrounds, does that matter?

Like, you know, yesterday in Harlem, there was a couple of students shot in like a three school radius. So I'm sure that those people didn't go get legal guns. I know a lot of those guns are coming illegally from the streets oh absolutely but those are societal issues that don't start to stop at guns that's what happens when you don't invest in you know the community when you don't invest in youth services and social services and education and mental health initiatives and other community resources absolutely it's twofold and one of the things i always talk about when we talk about this crime and tough on crime i can put a stop sign uh you

know on the street corner it doesn't mean that nobody's ever going to run the stop sign you know it is going to happen the question is did you put the stop sign at least on the street corner so um laws can only do so much to prevent uh crime or prevent those types of things like you said criminals are going to get get guns they're not going through the background check process but we still have to do all we can to make sure that on the legal side, we're doing everything. And like to Charlemagne's point, what are we doing to prevent violence in the community? And that is investing heavily. And that's one of the things I'm concerned about as we move forward in 2024 with this tough on crime that Democrats and Republicans are both in agreement with.

They do agree on tough on crime. So we're going to see how they're going to spend that money in the community to stop that violence now also bishop lamont is back in the news you know that's the uh brooklyn bishop that's been seeing a a lot of different controversy going on in the last couple of months yes bishop they call him why are you smiling tase why are you smiling well because the story is hilarious it's kind of hilarious because they call him you guys may remember uh bishop whitehead known as the bling brooklyn bishop uh who was robbed last year which that's not funny but yeah yes this is the one that was robbed last year but now in the pursuit of more bling uh he's been hit with a new fraud charge and uh what he did the reason why i was

so tickled is because i couldn't believe i read this um he said that his bank he went to the bank to get a loan and said that he had two million in the bank when the reality is he had ten dollars worth of tithes yes ten dollars i i thought i read it wrong i said do they mean ten thousand but this man really had ten dollars in the bank and said that he had 2 million. And he's done this before. In 2018, he tried to get a business loan for 250,000 for his company called Anointing Management. So he submitted bank fake brought bank documents on that as well. So the bottom line is he submitted all of these different documents. He tried to get a 1.3 million dollar mortgage

for a six bedroom home the charges go on and on it's as long as the bible but the bottom line is he says that he hey he believes that god has his back and he says that uh the feds better watch out so we're gonna see what the book of feds has to say about this when it's all said and done i can tell you one thing his criminal history was way more interesting than the bible yes it was only god can judge that man i only wonder how people do that i mean we've all up here trying to get loans to purchase something whether it's a car or a house or whatever it may be they go through so much stuff with me like there's no way i can say i got two million only got ten dollars in the account so how do some people just get away like that they got a friend their friends that I know who

fix the paperwork oh to make it in the air you don't know the people I know he says he got a friend in Jesus so he's been just depending on Jesus all of this time we're gonna see how it works I blame that man church I blame that church how come the church wasn't tithing an offer in the way they was supposed to on Sunday I mentioned I had way more than $10 in his damn bank account. I read that too and I said, it gotta be $10,000. Nobody got $10. It was like, what, 10 people in the

congregation? They all gave a dollar. Tithing an offering, man. Come on, man. It was like 300 people in there when he got robbed that day, wasn't it? What video you see? Ain't that the man who got robbed? I thought it was a lot of people. It was 300 people. They had to jump them bottles. Only God can judge that.

Be right. All right. All right. Well, wish him the best. I don't go to church. I don't know how many people go now. Get it off your chest. Thank you, Ms. Taz.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.

Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

I called last week and she said that because she didn't like my name, she just hung up on me and plus I told her how her expectations of six months to a year

for a man is just ridiculous. That's just too much to marry a dude within that, you know, to get married. Okay, I got you. So this is your get back right now. Yeah, this is my get back, bro. Okay. So this is my advice for the lady. You know she coming Friday if you want to say it to her. She coming Friday. Oh, good. I will.

It's her birthday too. It's her birthday. I'll give it down. I'm going to call back. Let's get it. So all I'm saying is ladies, good. I will. It's her birthday, too. It's her birthday. I'll give it down. I'm going to call back. Let's get it. So all I'm saying is, ladies, listen to the man. Cater to that man. Be open-minded. Leave your baggage behind you.

And just be open and expressive. That's how you're going to secure and get you a man. And you won't be alone and single at 46 years old, ladies. That's all I got to say on that. Dingo, speaking of getting a man, won't you at originalbigdaddy on Instagram? Won't you share?

At originalbigdaddy? Don't do that. I'm Mr. Dingo. Goodbye, Mr. Dingo. Y'all are crazy. I'm going to call him and tell him, you are,

boy, you are, he ain't nothing. That's my guy, Lee. Lee, that ain't me. Oh, man, Lee done changed his name? I thought his name was originalbigdaddy on Instagram. What is it? It's just Lee Daniels now. Hello, that ain't me. Oh man, Lee done changed his name? I thought his name was original Big Daddy

on Instagram. It's just Lee Daniels now. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on man? My name is Sonny, how you doing?

Sonny, good morning. Now, since you had a date yesterday and it went really bad. Yeah, it did. But I'm not going to lie,

I was hearing you guys talking about gun laws and I just felt like you want to know what? I deal with kids every day and we should be speaking about a more pressing issue. I just wanted to know

what you guys think about, you know what I mean, underage kids. I'm talking about young kids nowadays, anywhere between the ages of like 11 and 15 that are sitting down here

and handling guns. Do you think that their parents should be held accountable for, you know what I mean, whatever, you know what I mean, happens on the road or, you know what i mean whatever you know what i mean happens on the road or you know what i mean what do you think about that not not not if they don't get not if they don't get the gun from their house like if they take their parents gun because the parents left the gun unattended maybe but if they just get a gun out in the street the parents

shouldn't be held responsible for that yeah i feel the same way as a gun owner you got to make sure that your guns are locked up they're in saves they're in places where your kids can't get them or reach them or get to them if need be. So, I mean, yeah. But things do happen. I mean, I know a lot of parents that lock up their guns and forget to close the safe or do something small and things do happen. That doesn't excuse it. But, you know, yeah, the parents should be held liable if they allow their kids to get their guns. And kids are sneaky.

Even though if you have your guns locked up, they watch you long enough. They know your routine. They know your routine. They know your code. They know how to get into your stuff. They'll steal your code the same way they steal your code to your phone. And I agree, too. If they didn't get that gun from your house, because you don't know what your kids do when they walk outside the door. So if my kids got a gun out of a bushy and killed somebody, you can't fault me for it.

That's right. What we need to be talking about when it comes to these 11 and 15-year-olds, especially these kids from these porn disenfranchised areas, is how do we invest in them? You know what I mean? Like I said earlier, how do you invest in youth services and community programs and mental health initiatives and social services? Like, these kids need community resources to help them just develop, man. They got nothing but time on their hands right now. No, you're right. And, I mean, it takes a lot of people that's been locked up, that's been in gangs to come back to the community and really break down what they're doing.

Because it seems cool. You know, I mean, you're growing up and you see him as a form of protection to make sure I'm good as a brotherhood. But, you know, you got to speak to some of the Mojis that got locked up that did 20 years that that that followed the same path. They had to go in that prison and oil up the ankles and let the Tims tap. What? What? I know one thing. Kids like to talk to kids who can speak their language. You know, nobody wants to talk to people who they feel like going to look down on. Because I was once one of those kids. And I didn't want to hear what nobody say who couldn't understand where I was coming from. So I started like a little going into school speaking because I speak their language.

I'm broken English. I'm from the street. I've been that person before and they open up and they're listening. When you're just coming in there like and they feel like you don't know what they're going through. They close down. They don't want to hear that. That's right. I think we don't have a lot of

people that go back to the communities to nurture these kids. That's right. These kids aren't inherently evil. They aren't natural born criminals. They're just kids born into a certain circumstance and they playing with the cards that they dealt. So deal them some new cards. That's right.

When I got custody of my niece's kids, her son was five years old and I heard him say one. He said, get out of my ear with all that damn noise. He was five. And I was like, because my niece is on crack. I slapped that boy so hard.

And then I said, why you let him talk to you like that? He said, my daddy said, I don't have to respect her. Then she also told me that some man just walk around the community. I don't know. Say he had an angry issue. I said, he don't have no angry issue. He's mad because of the situation you got him in. If you saw Ramon now, oh, my God.

When I tell you, they be like have they can't even understand what i'm saying they so proper but this is the same kid that they told me had an anger issue wow the most manable i mean he do he do a little boy stuff at school of course he didn't try to be some he ain't sometimes but other than that a good kid what got into him like i got into him okay okay and i've had him for 10 years you can't even tell that these are the same hood rat kids I picked up. Like, when I met his little sister, she was like, my name's Yo-Yo. I said, well, do you know your real name, Yo-Yo? I said, your name ain't no Yo-Yo.

Your name Yolanda. And it took so much for me to change these kids around. But you see them today, you be like, these kids, mama was on crack and left me with... You can't even tell. Wow. You dug him some new cards. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

When we come back, we got rumors on the way. We got to talk about Lil Nas X. He apologized to his own community. We'll tell you why when we come back. I stay out of LMNOP business, bro. I'm just going to report it. Well, my daughter gay. She says she ain't mad.

I did. Well, let's move on. Diplo. Yesterday he was talking about receiving oral, and he said he received oral from a man before. Oh, my God. What the hell is going on this morning? Mama D, curse her. Well, he said he received oral from a man, and that doesn't make him gay.

I'm sure I've got a b**** job from a guy before. You're sure that's happened? Yeah. And you just don't remember? I mean... You're not committing to it, but you're saying you're sure it happened. For sure. But you don't have a specific memory of it.

I don't know if it's gay, unless you make eye contact while there's a b**** job. That's such a straight guy thing to say. I mean, getting a b**** job is not that gay, I think. I don't know if it's gay unless you, like, make eye contact while there's a b**** job happening. That's such a straight guy thing to say. I mean, getting a b**** job is not that gay, I think. I don't know. It's like, you tell me. But what were we about to talk about? We were talking about Bill Clinton. Because this is a serious podcast, okay?

What happened now? He said he received oral from a man before, and he said because he didn't look the guy in the eyes it's not gay so he was making a joke that sound like you're serious to me well i kind of agree if you don't know who giving you or you ain't game you didn't look down there and see nobody it could have been a ghost i kind of agree with him if he didn't look down it ain't gay i don't i don't understand if he's being serious or not, though. It don't matter. He said it. Well, I was born in 1978, so I'm old school.

I was always taught that same-sex relations are the pure definition of gay. Not if you didn't look down and see who was giving you the or. So anybody, her aunt could have been giving him the or, so he didn't look down. So you don't have a witness. He don't know who gave him the or. But he clearly knows because he knew enough to say it was a man. Well, he probably thought because she had some chin hair rubbed up against his thigh. But I get chin hair and I am a girl.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a woman, Ms. Pat. Yeah, I'm a woman. Yeah. I had four kids. Yep. So I kind of agree with you. Yep, you sure did.

If you didn't. I hate this show. I hate didn't. I hate this show. I hate this show. If I hit him, will I be arrested? What you mean? My eyelash don't fell off. I'm agreeing with you. You call me fat, my eyelash don't fall off.

Why your eyelash fall off like that? It's like somebody hit you, man. Oh, my goodness. I did not call you fat. Wait till y'all guys see the video after this show. I'm getting mad. Somebody turn it to the hook up in here. That ghost you was talking about just punched you in the eye, man.

No. Whoever gave him the R, pulled my eye. Jesus Christ. All right. Well, that is your rumor report, if y'all want to consider that rumors. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Tesla and Figaro will be joining us. We'll be talking about a lot of things.

And also, this new drink that they're making. It's called the Negro. Would you buy it? What about the Caucasian? Would you buy that one? I'd buy them crackers. I mean, I'd buy that Caucasian. I'd buy that Caucasian.

He's going to have the better look in it. All right. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Did you know one word can change everything?

Zach Levi returns as Shazam in the new movie Shazam Fury of the Gods. This film is a must-see event with epic action and a whole lot of fun. March 17th, see Shazam Fury of the Gods only in theaters rated PG-13. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Miss Pat, with us. And let's get in some front page news as we bring Teslin Figaro back.

The hood whisperer. The hood whisperer, Teslin Figaro. That's right. The hood whisperer. Good morning, family. Glad to be here. Now, let's start off with this Mississippi man. They say this Mississippi man went missing.

And then when he was found his head was cut off absolutely this is so I mean this is a heartbreaking story rest in peace to Rasheem Carter 25 year old Rasheem Carter has been trending all over social media such a beautiful handsome black man who his body was found dismembered Now what happened with this story is he went missing October of last year at the Super 8 Hotel in Laurel. According to his family, when he vanished, he sought help from the police. He told his mother that three truckloads of white guys were trying to kill him, literally said that he tried to get help, he did not get any help. And then November 2nd, they found his remains. He was found in a wooded area about 21 miles from where he was last reportedly seen.

And the problem now is after the family is trying to get justice, authorities have released a statement saying there's no reason to believe foul play was involved. He was a captain. Right. Somebody has to make this make sense. This brother's head was severed from his body. I don't know who in the hell can cut off their own head. his vertebrae, his spinal cord. I mean, he was literally just dismembered into pieces. So what the family is doing now is asking for a federal investigation because obviously local is not getting it right. And I just talked to Attorney Crump just about

10 minutes ago and he said to stay posted on this story as more develops because more will be coming out here shortly sounds like Mississippi is still burning to me racism is built into the very fabric of Mississippi I don't see how a decapitation don't prompt more of an investigation that's insane that is well maybe they don't know what the word decapitation mean down there maybe you read Jesus and remember we just talked about earlier this week for everybody's listening where we talked about that guy burning the cross. You know, that too was in Mississippi.

So what the hell is going on in Mississippi? Oh, Mississippi been like that. Y'all ain't never seen the movie Mississippi Burning? Oh, for sure. For sure. As a country, we've grown a little bit. Did we leave Mississippi out of this? Yeah, I think they're behind us, Pat.

Miss Pat. I'm sure they are. So what are they, still in 1940-something? That's how they reacted? Seems like it. Seems like it. I wouldn't go to Mississippi for nothing.

Now, we also got to switch sides and talk Michael Irvin. I see him all over the news yesterday. What's going on with Michael Irvin? Man, this makes my blood boil. I mean, it really, really does.

For those of you that have not watched the video, I encourage you to watch it. You guys may remember that Michael irvin was accused of sexual assault uh in a marriott hotel and so yesterday uh michael irvin uh attorney has released a video you can see for yourself that literally he was just talking to this woman i believe he just touched her elbow and you know she put her arm back. They were literally just having a conversation about football. He has always

maintained his innocence. He has always said that the evidence will come out. The problem with this is this really hurt his reputation. At that time, they had pretty much pulled him. I want to say, if I recall, if you guys remember, he was getting ready to do some commentary before the Super Bowl. They pulled him from that. Now we see that the employee was simply just walking walking around having a simple conversation i thought it was interesting that the attorney

pointed out that there was a man i guess her manager kind of standing on the side um and and appears to just be watching uh something strange going on with that just watching um but eventually they shook hands. They parted ways. It was a simple conversation. And so now Michael Irvin is suing Marriott and the Jane Doe, rightfully as he should, because this has absolutely done damage to his reputation. And I don't know where we are with this, guys.

I don't know if black men just need to walk around with with body cams 24 hours a day or what because this is obviously an attempt for a shakedown in my opinion um you know not putting it on the record but this this is just i mean it's disgusting to see you know something like this happen um in this case so what did she say he did because i've seen the video they look just look like they were chatting and he said that's exactly what they were doing but at the hotel they came up see these hotels anytime they have um anytime i guess when the nfl team is there they say hey if you see anything strange let us know so uh they called the nfl and said hey something you know uh michael irvin's been inappropriate and so nfl security walked him out he asked hey what's going on what the hell is going on they said well you've been accused of sexual assault so we need you to leave the hotel

so uh he was totally taken off guard because he had no idea what what they were talking about because it was literally just a conversation so again thank god for the tape uh to be able to show his innocence this is why you can't jump to conclusions and this is why i hate when people dish out consequences before all the facts are out there. I didn't believe it. I did not believe it. I hope he sued a tanning lotion off that bitch. Me too. Absolutely. I do. And I hope this correction

is just as loud as the accusation was. Correct. You know what I mean? Correct. Something is mentally wrong with her to think you were sexually assaulted by touching your elbow. No, she was trying to get a check. No doubt about it. If's trying to get a check at least take your shirt off you can't get one by rubbing your elbow ma'am but she thought that it was like anything else like that white woman would be allowed enough to go against that black guy and they would white michael urban and they would cut her a check that's what she thought

dr i'll be trying to tell y'all but no y'all don't want to listen to the good doctor well there is a new drink out there called the Negro and the Caucasian. What? Boy, that's a biracial baby, ain't it? Tell us about this drink, the Negro and Caucasian. Wait a minute, who made it? This is a, on a lighter note, I know we just got through with, you know, both of those stories. But on a lighter note, yeah, dozens of employees have walked out of their job in Pennsylvania.

Management allegedly wanted to add a drink called the Negro and the Caucasian. Now, the Caucasian drink was, I guess they were doing a play on the white Russian. And there was also talk about the redneck Russian as well. So what's so funny about this is the employees said, you know, we are offended. And I'm certainly not making light of their offense, but they said we're offended by this. And the owner pretty much, he doubled down. He said, hey, guess what? Buckle up because the Negro drink is coming next.

So the owner told the staff, hey, feel free to walk out. The staff said, no problem. Bet that we're going to do that. In addition to that, we're going to start a boycott. And so they went on social media, which is great tool uh when you're trying to bring awareness and so eventually he learned that fat does indeed meet greasy uh and he issued an apology is it a bar i mean is this a is this a coca-cola i mean not a coca-cola product i mean is it made a lot of them because it sounds like something that they make at a bar. Yeah, it is. It's a restaurant.

And so they were trying to be creative. They're known for having all these creative drinks. And so they said, hey, let's do the Caucasian and the Negro. And then he got upset. He said, you know, how dare you question me? I've never been racist. There's nothing wrong with me. How dare you Negroes question me about a Negro drink?

And he really doubled down. It was really until the employees actually backed up what they said they were going to do and walked out and caused a big fuss on social media that made him eventually apologize. I don't think he means it because he doubled down. What's the Negro drink? What's wrong with Negro drink and Caucasian drink?

What is the Negro drink? What's going to be in the Negro drink? Mexican drink before this? Asian drink? This sounds like it had been going on. When it got to the Caucasian drink and the Negro drink. Without Mexican drink before there's an Asian drink. I mean, because this sounds like it had been going on. But when it got to the Caucasian drink, it was a play on the white Russian.

So what's the Negro drink? But how come white Russian ain't never offended nobody all these years? Like, I don't have a problem with Negro drinking Caucasian drinks. So you want a Negro drink?

What would be in said Negro drink? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. If it was watermelon and Hennessy, then I can understand. I got a problem with that.

That's a little different. Chicken flavored Hennessy, I can't go with that. Y'all act like it's called coon punch and cracker juice. But if they had a Negro drink and it had Hennessy with watermelon on the side, you wouldn't be offended. Well, I understand that watermelon is a symbol of freedom, but it wouldn't offend me. You know what I mean? I got to see what's in the drink. I don't think that just the words Negro and Caucasian offend me. I and caucasian offend me okay so you want to see what it is so you're looking

at negro is just the color of the drink or because white russian is literally white if you want to be technical i went to a mexican restaurant my husband ordered a modelo they said you want negro what's the negro the dark oh the dog drink oh, okay. I think I have a problem. You have to borrow the white person. Give me a negro. That's better than. Give me three. I want three on rocks. But it sounds like, let's be fair, it sounds like they made these offensive drinks before.

This ain't the first time. And it's equal opportunity. Negro drink, Caucasian drink. It ain't like they time and it's equal opportunity negro drink caucasian drink it ain't like they just singled out the black people i mean they've made creative drinks but he thought since it was already called you know the white russian why not go ahead and say caucasian so that they're known allegedly from what i read they're known you know to come up with these creative type drinks and so i guess he figured hey if it's good enough for the white folks is good enough You know so I post the call Negro the Negro drink and obviously maybe it was a good idea Charlotte Mace it He's not offended so but these employees were they walked out and they said they were just uncomfortable asking

You know I guess going to ask customers. How many Negroes do you want on the rock? No, but miss Patton's are asking a good question. Did the white people get offended at Caucasian? It didn't say. It just said that dozens of employees have walked out. It didn't say if they were white or black. It was mainly the employees that had a problem with it. It never made it to the menu. It was just the fact that he brought it up.

And so that's what happened with that. Well, thank you, Taz for joining us this morning. We appreciate you. You want to try it? Absolutely. That's how I call it. Give me two of them crackers on the rock. Give me two crackers on the rock. My goodness. All right. When we come back,

Roland Martin will be joining us. We're going to kick him a roll. Listen, don't move. And Teslin, we'll see you tomorrow. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's C-E-J-N-V Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a's EJ, Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.

The brother, Roland Martin. Welcome. What's happening? What's happening? How you feeling? New dig. I'm all good, man. It's been crazy busy.

Things are going well. We've had a great 2022 with Blackstar Network. And so we are moving with 2023. Launched our 24-hour streaming channel. And, you know, my goal for us by the end of the year was to be on five platforms. We probably will hit that by the end of April. That's dope. When people see that hashtag, hashtag Roland Martin Unfiltered, a Black Star Network, what does that mean?

Well, Roland Martin Unfiltered is the show. So when I launched September 2018, that was the first show that I launched. And so everybody told me, look, this is not going to work. Try to go get a job back at CNN. Get a job at MSNBC. And I was like, yeah, I'm interested in having a 32-year-old white producer tell me what I can and cannot cover. And I also saw in terms of exactly where we were going. So we had to do proof of concept.

So Roller Mountain Unfiltered, we're now four years in, building that up. And then last year i launched the network i knew i wanted other shows as well because i wanted to be more than just one show so the show basically is the axis it's the same thing or tentpole same thing happens and you look at cable television so we've now got four other shows wealthy you from deborah owens balanced living with jackie hood martin the pivot with stephanie humphrey we got a greg a car show the black table and then another daily show for rajahphrey, we got Greg Carr's show, The Black Table, and then another daily show with Farraji Muhammad. We got three shows

we're developing as well. So things are going well. The biggest thing is still dealing with the ad agencies when it comes to supporting black-owned media. Because you got some folks who say, oh, you know, we don't want to buy news, like, oh, brand safety. And I'm like, yeah, but I see your ads

on Fox News, I see them on MSNBC, I see them on CNN with this opinion, so please tell me again whether it's like oh brand safety and i'm like yeah but i see your ads on fox news i see them on msnbc i see them on cnn with this opinion so please tell me again what this brand safety stuff comes in um and so that's why our audience uh who supports us it's been crazy i mean our audience the fans have literally given about two million bucks in the last four years and so that's how we've been able to really sustain and build uh to sort of do the things necessary uh because you know black owned media is so important but but specifically news there's a ton of gossip there's a ton of entertainment there's a ton of oh for the culture but the question is what are you being informed about and what i hate is when people say oh man

i wish we knew well there are those of us out here trying to tell you but the question is what are you watching what are you listening um and you know look you know march 16th is the uh is the anniversary the 196th anniversary of the launch of the first black newspaper uh freedom's journal uh and and it was march 16 1827 uh and there's a quote in the third paragraph we have a mural in my office this has it on there it says we wish to plead our own cause too long have others spoken for us and that's really has been the mantra of the black press and and that's why that matters because uh i fear us and i've said this on this show numerous times before I fear the future where we're asking somebody else to tell our story that is the scariest thing in the world to me I feel like that's all people doing even now like when you see

people pitching shows like you know different producers and production companies in Hollywood I feel like that's all we ever do right and that's because we have been conditioned to seek permission as opposed to grant permission ourselves. We look at BET. Bob Johnson owning BET, when the Million Man March happened, his sales team became like, Bob, what are we doing? If you cover the Million Man March and we go no ads, we're going to lose money. He said, then today we're going to lose money.

So Bob Johnson only can make that decision because Bob Johnson owned BET. That's right. And the reason we've been having this fight even with black-owned media is because if you read Brett Pulley's book, which is an amazing book, called The Billion Dollar Bed, The Unauthorized Biography of Bob Johnson and BET, when Viacom purchased BET, Sumner Redstone and Mel Carmisen saw that bt was getting 1500 for a 30 second ad that mtv was getting eight thousand dollars for and mel goes bt was discounting herself no they weren't discounting themselves the agencies were not they were not valuing black people right now if you

just do the math bt gets sold for 2..3 billion plus the assumption of debt. It's really about $3 billion. If BET had been getting its fair value from the beginning, that means that when BET was sold, it should have been sold for $10 to $12 billion. Remember, Bob and Sheila Johnson reaped the billions from it, which meant that if they got their fair value, they could have actually sold 30% of BET for the same $3 billion and still owned it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now you see what happens when we get shortchanged in the dollars and how it impacts black ownership. How do we change

that though? Because when you turn it down, I'm sure there's somebody else out there that'd be like, you know what, I'm going to take that money. Right. And that's also part of the deal. So we have to understand when you're operating as a collective is that if you take that crumb, you're going to keep getting that crumb. So we have to train folks to understand that, no, you have to stand for it. No, let's get the $100,000 or the $500,000 or let's take down the million or the several million dollars. So that's one that has to happen.

And not get played by isolating us. That's one. Two, information also comes in because too many people are literally walking into meetings they don't have the information on how to do battle uh three we've got to have our institutions also begin to property properly leverage them that's what i mean by that if you have corporations that are doing business with the national urban league the naacp national action network rainbow push coalition uh and others those institutions have to say all right a donation to us is great but it's marginal

okay so wells fargo was a presenting sponsor of the NAACP Image Awards. Okay, that's fine, that's great. But the question is, how much money did black people lose during the home foreclosure crisis as a result of the business practices of Wells Fargo? I guarantee you it's far more what the donation was.

And so I believe that our institution would need to have race indexes meaning not just who are your black folks on the board of directors what are the contracts that you're providing i was going to ask so you know we're talking all the economics right and they're talking inflation fell and and now they're talking about the banking crisis what are your thoughts on that well first of all remember when you talk about that particular bank there what happened there that was an abject failure on their leadership because they were not properly prepared for the Fed's interest rate raises. That was one.

Two, I'm laughing to death at all these white conservatives who are yelling, oh, they were so concerned about being woke, as if a group of white men ain't never broke banks before. Let's just be real okay but what you have is the financial industry is so crazy because if there's just a sliver of a fear everybody pull their money that's whether it's private equity though i mean so it's like oh let me hold on to cash that's the whole deal so that sector is really dependent upon confidence everything's going to be fine. That's what happened there. They just got all spooked. Well, that was a crisis of leadership. Secondly, it was also a weakening of the regulations.

Barney Frank needs to be answering to this because you have the Dodd Frank bill. He actually lobbied once he left Congress and joined a bank. The bank that he actually joined, they were the ones that went under. Signature Bank in New York. They weakened the laws.

Conservatives and Republicans love yelling deregulation. No, there's a reason regulation is important, to prevent that from happening. I spent multiple shows walking people through the data saying no, this is a lie, this is what he said, this was proposed, this

is what got funded funded here's the whole truth these people kind of like oh we know all that yeah because the places that you're watching they're not going to break it down to you for you right because let's just be clear msnbc and cnn are not going to give you that level of uh detail specifically to at hbcus it ain't gonna happen which is why you got to have black on media. All right, we got more with Roland Martin. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to

doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.

And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story,

We are The Breakfast Club.

Ms. Pat is here, our guest host. We're still kicking it with Roland Martin. Charlemagne? What would you say to people who said, you know, of course the Silicon Valley Bank is getting the bailout, but, you know, if you ask for stuff for like student loan forgiveness or you know universal health care or social services housing education or hbc they don't never have money for that but they always have money for the bailout banks and the fund wars what would you say to those people one

they're actually um mostly incorrect if you break those things apart first of all you look at the student loan uh debt forgiveness that right now is awaiting the Supreme Court decision. So you'll have those oral arguments. So the Biden administration actually said, let's forgive student loan debt. Now they got sued. Now it goes to the Supreme Court. That's the Supreme Court. The three branches of government. Legislative, executive, judicial. Bottom line is, that's why it's in the Supreme Court. So that happens there. When you talk about HBCUs, the level of funding over the last four years has been the most they've gotten ever. We broke down, you're talking

about almost $8 billion, and then if you go inside of those numbers, and Congressman Bobby Scott on the Education Committee, Congressman Jim Clyburn, Congressman Alma Adams, look, the thing was so significant with those numbers that most of those HBCUs, especially public HBCUs,

got four times as much money from the federal government than they got from the states, and they're supposed to be state-funded. Yes, the states owe these HBCUs a lot of money. No, no, I'm just talking about just the annual amount of money they were given. You take all of those federal programs, CARES Act, American Rescue Plan, all of those,

I mean, the numbers don't lie in terms of i'm talking about you going from alabama a&m to florida a&m to north carolina a&t top to bottom in many cases four times as much money uh i walked through the whole spreadsheet on my show and folk were like hold up the state gave florida a&m that much and they got that much from the federal government? Absolutely. And so you get money there. Now, you're absolutely right. They are right in terms of how Congress is excellent at finding money for largely white farmers,

$25 billion when Trump was president. But then, oh, no, no, no, we can't afford that particular program. That's why I keep walking people through why voting matters see forgo if i don't get this i ain't voting well if you don't vote you ain't gonna get this and so you have you cannot change policy but not change the policy makers the problem for us is we're not voting our number. Numbers don't lie. If black voters in most places vote 65, 70, 75 percent of our numbers, we can sweep election. Because if you're in an area in the state, half a million registered and eligible black voters, 30 percent vote. OK, that's 150.

If 30 percent of them vote okay that's 150 if 30% of them vote as 150 if 50% of them vote that's the additional hundred thousand votes mm-hmm 50 I got the 70 50 one I be her sure walk about 95 thousand votes mm-hmm if 30% of our people vote spire a thousand black people third percent vote that number is what it is so so what do you say now for 10 years? So now, but so now how are you, what do you now deal with?

You now have to, first of all, start very early to educate. You can't see this. This is what we do. We go, we got to register. First of all,

I can't get you to vote unless you register. I can't get you to register unless you're enlightened. I can't enlighten you unless you're educated. The problem is we stop educating and enlightening and we spend all of our attention just trying to get somebody registered that's right register because no if i don't see the value i have to now explain to you why people come to me all the time man are you talking about voting why should i vote i go what's the one thing you care about man what you should I vote? I go, what's the one thing you care about? Man, what you mean?

You obviously care about something. What do you care about? It's rooted in politics. Whatever the issue is. But see, I force it. No, no, no. What do you care about? Then they go, money. So then they throw it out. Okay. And so then when they unpack it, then I'm like, okay, let me explain to you

how this federal race impacts the one thing you care about. Then they'll go, damn, I me explain to you how this federal race impacts the one thing you care about. Then they'll go, damn, I ain't never thought about it like that. Because no one has walked in through. We don't have civics classes like we used to. We're not walking people through. They don't understand what city council does, county government does, what the DA does. Look, it was only in the last five to eight years that people now understand the power of the district attorney.

Why do you think all of a sudden we started electing progressive district attorneys? Because people were being educated and taught. That is what is desperately needed. And so that's one of the reasons why for my show, we literally use the show to walk folks through teaching, educating. I've had more people come up to me who say, bro, man, I know nothing about this stuff. But watch it now i understand it because we're taking the time to do it you can't just say go register if democrats were smart and i've said this to civil rights groups i've said to all divine nine we should be starting

right now on a massive national education plan for 2024 you cannot wait to june of 2024 especially the reordering of the uh the presidential primary yeah you have to because again you need people to understand the long-term implications what's about to happen do you realize right now in florida right now they are considering a bill that could potentially eliminate eliminate all black fraternities and sororities from public universities right now it passed out of the committee in the house uh already passed now That could potentially eliminate all black fraternities and sororities from public universities. Yeah, absolutely. Right now. Absolutely. It passed out of the committee in the House. It already passed.

Now, the Senate bill is totally different. That thing is being considered right now. When you look at the tax on DEI, now Florida did it. Now Texas is doing it. North Carolina is doing it. Removing DEI from all of the job listings as well. Understand what their strategy is. Which I lay out in my book,

White Fear. Their strategy is a 5,200 year strategy. We're talking next year. No, they're talking the next 50 years. So that means that if you have, how old is your daughter? Which one? I got four,

but the oldest one is 21. The youngest one is one. Okay. That means they want to impact your youngest daughter when she's having her 50th yeah my youngest is one yeah i want you i want you to think about that they they want they want to impact your daughter when she's having her 50th birthday that's how they're operating that's the agenda that they are executing so i am i'm yelling on the rooftops black america wake up to understand what they are trying to do it is not the next two years or four years

they want to cement power and control for the next 50 years so if we shift, those numbers and go from 30 to 40 to 50 to 60 to 70, now all of a sudden, game totally changes and they're going to look up and go, what the hell? They turned out at 70%? Yeah, because numbers don't lie. The Santas would not be governor if black people had voted.

And 65% of our numbers, the Santas never becomes governor. Alright, we got more with Roland Martin when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Ms. Pat is here, our guest host. We're still kicking it with Roland Martin. Charlemagne? With the Democratic Party approving the reordering of the 24 presidential primary, how do you see that empowering more black voters? Well, first off, whenever the presidential election comes around, it was always Iowa, New Hampshire. Ain't no black people there. There are very few. I spoke always iowa new hampshire ain't no black people there there are very few i mean i've spoken i won't say no black people there i've spoken to the nwcp in iowa there are black people there but the numbers

are very small so the reality is white interests are placed ahead of everything else now all of a sudden because african-americans make up dominate the democratic party in south carolina you are going to have to be talking about the things that we actually care about uh so that is a change but here's the problem in the last election there was a significant drop off of black turnout in south carolina massive dropout so what has to happen is black people in south carolina are going to have to become far more engaged again it's turnout turnout turnout turnout turnout when people got to you have a big audience with your network they're engaged with you because of the words that are coming out of your mouth shouldn't more emphasis be on the actual democrats to get people engaged why do we always do that to

the voters like oh go out there go out there there, go out there and vote, go out there and vote. Shouldn't Democrats be doing things to energize people? They should, but what I'm not going to do is wait on somebody else to save me if I can throw somebody a life vest. But see, when you feel like, when they don't save you, now you feel like you don't need them. Yeah, but here's the deal, though. So why go vote? Here's the deal, though, because somebody's going to win. You can hate both of them. One them are gonna win period now i have to decide okay of the two people or the three people the four to five who who do i want or who can i potentially talk to try to get

something from that's what i have to decide i don't i don't care who it is. Which now means I can now make a decision. I can say, man, I don't like my decision. Again, somebody is going to win. I now have to say, what are my interests? And then what are my interests now means, who can I get a meeting with? Who can I put pressure on? What are the pressure points?

If a Republican wins, I literally have no pressure points. Because they ain't talking to me anyway. If a Democrat wins, I've the pressure points if a republican wins i literally have no pressure points because they ain't talking to me anyway but democrat wins i've got pressure points if i use them see the problem is we go i bought it cool i'm out i'll see you later no no no no no i gotta be in that person's face i gotta be right there that's true i i to be and let them know I'm coming for you. The only way they're ever going to really move, and I'm never going to discourage anybody from sitting out elections, but the only way they're ever going to really move is if one year no black people show up and they end up losing. But we can't afford to do that.

No. So how do you push them? You push them because, first of all, remember, there are primaries. Like you said, they need us. But here's the first thing. There are primaries. So the question is, who are wearies. Like you said, they need us. But here's the first thing. There are primaries. So the question is, who are we supporting in the primary?

Remember, you're not just always accepting whoever runs. There are options. All these people who were yelling, man, why we got the old guy Biden? I'm sorry. Y'all asses were real silent when Corey was running, when Kama was running. There were choices. A lot of black people like Bernie, but then people told us, no, Bernie can't win. Well, first of all, it's not they told us Bernie can't win.

Folk didn't vote for Senator Sanders. That's just what happened. Again, they didn't vote for Senator Cory Booker. They didn't vote for Senator Kamala Harris. That's what happened then. It simply comes down to engage. I'm simply saying for us, the reality is, I don't care who you are, if you check out of anything, no

one will pay you any attention. What do you think about his age? What do you think about Biden's age and people saying that he shows his old ass time? Early signs of dementia. But you didn't see the early signs of alleged dementia. Right, he's alleged dementia. Look, I got no report.

I got none of that. Bottom line is, look, he's there. And let me tell you something. The reason I'm not sitting there tripping, it's a bunch of old people right now who are United States Senators. It's a bunch of old people in the house. It's a bunch of old people right now. Somebody listen to me right now. It's an old ass person who's your county commissioner, who's your city councilman.

And this is why I tell all of my millennial and Gen Z followers, if you vote your numbers, you can change the game. But if you sit in your ass at home and people say, oh, yeah, they increase their numbers. Yes, they did increase the numbers in 2022. But I'm saying vote your numbers. Millennials and Gen Z's can change every political office in America if they actually vote their numbers. The same thing I'm saying to black people. You vote 68, 70, 75 percent. You can sweep elections because we know how other folks are going to vote.

That's what it boils down to. You have to vote your numbers. Use your power. If you are sitting home on election day, you're not using your power and it's going to waste. Before we get out of here, man, you had a great idea. This is I remember how long ago this was, but I heard you say this out loud. I don't know if you said it publicly yet about what you would like to see happen with the president and the vice president in terms of black media. I think you said you wanted to put together a what needs to happen is that they should do just like biden met with the main tv anchors and they

mostly all white other than lester holt uh then they need to do one with black owned media black journalists who work in mainstream media you they might bring up the debt ceiling black people bring up debt ceiling that's not the issue we're going to be bringing up, okay? So it needs to be black-owned media. That needs to happen. I've made that perfectly clear. And again, there are folks in the White House who ain't happy because I did, and I really don't care. That's what I'm supposed to do. I am going to advocate for black-owned media.

That ain't never changed in my entire life. I pushed city council. Look, I've cussed out many a black politician who ignored black-owned media. You're advertising everywhere else but then you don't spend with black on me i'm like no that ain't happening and so yeah i've had some choice words for a few years and congrats on the naacp award no we didn't win we lost the nomination i mean it was cool and the one thing people wonder is like does roland ever sit down at events okay you just wanted a room no no no no no no no no no no see no i work the room

see that's people understand okay when you hit the image awards most people are literally in one location so i'm a journalist you got him so when i get up like look two years ago he's hey isa ray and i was like yo isa i said She said, oh, no, that's an old number. Boom, new number. Dude, I'm working. Soon as they go to commercial break, I'm up. Boom, boom, boom. Number, email. I go take a seat. That's what Khaled does.

That's Khaled. That's how I'm going to work it. I will work every single room. And if I go to an event and I have not walked away with somebody's phone number, I wasted my time going to that event.

our co-host. And let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jussie Smollett. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out her name

or you gossiping or you chatty patting. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club. All right. You guys remember Jesse Smollett and the incident that happened out, alleged incident that happened out in Chicago, right,

with the two African brothers? I don't know if you even got to say alleged no more. I think it was proven that it didn't happen. That man got out of jail after he was sentenced to 20 years. So it's allegedly. He got sentenced to 20 years? I don't know. No.

What are you talking about? Like, what? He went to jail and he got out. So evidently he wasn't guilty allegedly like you said uh wait a minute now i thought that he was found guilty i think he didn't do no time he did something yeah well the two brothers bola and ola are speaking and so speaking out about the event and what actually happened I thought he was a good actor, but I also was thinking that this guy's a fraud. This guy's really sitting here just lying to these people, lying through his teeth.

You helped him? And not caring. I think he shed a tear. And I want a little gay boy who might watch this to see that I fought back. This dude crazy, man. Y'all crazy, too? He should've tear, man. This dude wild.

Bola and Ola, we don't care. All right? Y'all can't crucify that man after y'all helped him perpetuate the lie. But didn't they also was like lovers or something? They got massages, I thought. What are you talking about? Yeah, they said that. They said one of the brothers in Justin's world allegedly...

Hold on. I thought all of them put this plan together. Yes. I thought all of them did this together. Allegedly, they did, but I think they were in some type of relationship. I keep saying allegedly. I thought this happened. I don't know if that was in a relationship or not.

I don't want to put them brothers in a relationship. That's what she just asked. I'm talking about the fact that all of them did this together. How are you going to call me a liar and say I'm crazy, but you help me with the lie and help me with my crazy? Well, she was asking if they were in a relationship was ola olaf with a part of uh wasn't in the relationship i don't know if it was ola or bola and i don't know how far it went i don't know nothing about this somebody played on frozen well this is them describing the incident how they were supposed to do it. Then we started tussling, moving around, and then I threw him to the ground.

He wanted it to look like he fought back. That was very important for him because he said, hey, don't just beat my ass. Make it look like I'm fighting back and whatnot. So we did that. After I threw him to the ground, I used my knuckle and gave him a noogie. Why did I do that? To give him a scar, to give him a mark, to make it look real like he really did get his ass beat. After I did that, I fake kicked him.

I don't know what he was doing. I wasn't paying attention. That's where I came around with the bleach, the infamous bleach in the hot sauce bottle, poured it on his shirt. Then I finally put the rope around his face i did not put it around his neck i just placed it on his face and that's when we took off bola and ola have zero room to criticize jesse smollett you helped him do all of this whatever you say about jesse you have to say about yourself if you if jesse crazy then y'all crazy if jesse was lying then y'all was lying knock it it off. Better let it go.

Exactly. Why even bring this back up? Like they so innocent. What's a nookie? As you get like your little middle finger it's usually to the like that but he did it to his eye

so it would leave a mark. Oh so he just took his Remember when your eyelash fell off earlier? And how it looked? That's how it looks when you give somebody

a nookie. Go to hell okay? Now also Ciara seems like she's getting a little backlash because of the dress she wore at the Oscars it was totally see through did you see it of course I seen it you seen it too and you still staring at the picture

I'm explaining so they said she posed for pictures and she was absolutely completely naked they said she had nothing but gloves a thong and nipple covers on. People were like, you have three kids and a husband. How could you wear that? You're disrespecting Russell. This is embarrassing to Russell. Y'all just were in prison praying for people.

That's what happens to you when you leave prison and make you get naked. Lord have mercy. You know, it's always people. I say do what you want to do. It's always people who ain't shaped like Sierra that's complaining. I saw Sierra pitch and I said, if her husband allowed, keep strolling. I mind my business.

It's always somebody who eat Chick-fil-A like me around the clock and ain't got no husband. Hey, these hoes ain't even got no husband and want to tell us what to do mind your business you lonely crabs jesus you ain't lying i mean they always just come and lead each other first of all you can't even you can't even walk down uh sierra street without getting arrested so why are you even coming on what she wear? If Russell was right there with her, so if he allowed her to wear it, is that right by me?

I wish I could look like that. I look like that in the sixth grade. Been a long time. Yeah, I think sometimes needless criticism comes from a place of jealousy and envy.

Of course. Yeah, it's how we broke people, mate. Talking about rich people. Yeah, if Russell's fine with it, that's their relationship. Who are we to poke at? Like McBride said, out of shape people.

People that's bad built. It would look cold in that building. I was just worried about her sneezing because of COVID out here. But if she held back her sneeze and didn't get nobody sick, girl, you look good. I don't know what size your underwear is

because them things look like hair bows to me. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Who you giving that donkey to, man?

Hold on. Young people can't keep no secret. They cannot keep no damn secret. She won't hang out with them people who just as small as that, no. What race is she? Caucasian. She was Caucasian? Yes, she was.

Oh, she probably married a black man. Don't nobody look at their social media. No, he white. I can't even find his phone number. I was looking for the stories. I can show you all the pictures. Was she pretty? Huh?

If you got to say huh, that means that she was pretty. What happened? No. No, I mean, she white. Mmm. What? I mean, I don't know. She look like...

Here she go. Here she go. Mmm. Okay. Well, congratulations to them. Congratulations, girl. You should surprise her with a tattoo on his ass. You know the good...

Matching tattoos. Good part about it? She ain't gotta add no ink to his face. Because he got a beard? No, because he white. And her booty white. Man, shut up. All right.

When we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, we talked earlier about this restaurant in Pennsylvania. They had some drinks that they named Negro and Caucasian. And the employees were pissed off about it that they decided to have a walkout. You got the news report? No news report? Alright, so what would you do

in that situation? 800-585-1051. You work at a restaurant. The owner starts these new drinks. One called Caucasian and one called Negro. If I worked there, what would I do? Because some of the employees walked out? Yes. We talk about it. We're going to talk about it when we come back.

800-585-1051. Now, we don't know what the Negro drink is, nor do we know what the Caucasian. I think the Caucasian is a white Russian. The Caucasian was supposed to be a playoff of white Russian. And the Negro was what? I don't think they even had the Negro drink. Applesider and Kool-Aid. Man, shut up.

We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. like man shut up we'll talk about when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host, Miss Pat. She's joining us this morning. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about this restaurant in Pennsylvania. Some of the employees walked out because they thought the names of the drinks were disrespectful.

All right. So one of the names were Caucasian, which is a white Russian, and they were going to call a drink a Negro. Now, we don't know what the Negro drink is. We don't know what's in it. I have no clue. But the employees walked out. So we're asking, what would you have done in that situation, Ms. Pat? Ask what was in the Negro. All right, so let's say it was, I don't know, dark liquor and with a little watermelon on it.

Shut up. Y'all just making up stuff. I don't know why black people scared of watermelon. White people eat watermelon, too. Watermelon is a symbol of freedom. mean but it's good so I take a drink with a wall of melon if it's pretty good and it's got the right it's got top shelf because I don't drink a lot so so you wouldn't be mad at the negro I mean it's a restaurant with drinks names come on this world is too damn sensitive no I'm not mad you ain't calling me no negro no okay charlamagne uh i'm with miss pat my sensitivity

meter is not set to 10 so i'm not the person to ask about this but the answer to me is i probably wouldn't quit like negro is the word used to describe it's on your birth certificate i don't know if it's on your birth it's on my birth certificate i was born in 72 look at your race mine say black boy male no it don't it say No. What year was you born, Charlemagne? 1978. Oh, you a little bit after me. They had changed it. I'm 72, Negro.

It might be, though. Mine says Black African American, I thought. No, Negro. What year was you born? Mine says Black. Same years around, Charlemagne? Yeah, well, see, I'm 50. I'm a little older than you guys. Mine say Negro.

My granddaddy said the ER. And those aren't slurs, though. Like, Negro is the word used to describe black people of black African heritage. Caucasian is white-skinned of European origin, fresh out the Caucasus mountains. So I don't see where the offense is. Now, if they would have said the E-R drink, I would back up on the E-R drink. If they said nigga juice and cracker punch, nigga punch, cracker punch, that's different. You know what I mean?

Not if you mix it together, because it can become a biracial thing and it'd be better. Call it the Obama then. By the way, they have those. You can go to restaurants and order the Obama. I don't think I like the Negro drink.

Why not? Because I just feel funny. You got white people at the bar. Give me three Negroes. It just feel funny. I can see that. They ain't going to holler.

Three Negroes on rocks. They're going to be like, three Negroes. They're not going to holler. You got any Negroes today? It just feels gonna holler but negro is not on the same level of the as the n-word negro has never been a slur i don't know i just i just don't feel right to me if it was called the color you know what i'm saying that's different or the coon so how would you feel if a black person's at the bar saying i take four of them crackers and some crackers to eat at the bar.

That's a good one. If it was called the Caucasian and the Darkies, you know what I'm saying? I don't know. Caucasian and the Spooks. You know what I mean? That's different. But Negro, that don't really bother me like that. I don't know. I get what you're saying, though.

I get how you can hear some white people saying that and be like, what the hell are they saying? But they're in a place where, you know, it's drinks. The world is too damn sensitive, okay? My problem is, do you got the money for the Negro? And what state is this? Pennsylvania. Okay, let me ask you a question. There's restaurants here in New York.

I won't say their names because we love these establishments, but they have meals called the Obama. Even in Atlanta, they got meals called the Obama, and it's like chicken and waffles. Even though chicken is also a symbol of freedom. But is that a fin y'all? I don't i don't know the negroes just sound just i don't know just let me get the obama just sounds cool and the obama's dark meat and white meat to represent his body right now come on man good morning good morning oh you're not shantae what's

your name bro how do you know what it is 2023 you better cut it out of me. You're right. You're right. What's your name? My name's Joe. Okay, Joe. What's your thoughts, Joe? I'm doing all right. I listen to you guys every morning. Thank you, sir.

Thank you. What's your take? Yeah, you guys literally brighten my day every morning. But, yeah, no, about this topic you guys are talking about, about this drink. Yes, the Negro and the Caucasian drink. Does this offend you? You know, I'm Puerto Rican and Italian,

and it's 2023. We should all, you know, basically look at it and it shouldn't be a racial thing no more. I'm going to be honest with you, you have no say in this conversation, sir. I was thinking that. It's called Negro and Caucasian. I don't want to hear from a Puerto Rican and Italian.

Who would a Puerto Rican drink be called? I don't know. Hello, who's this? This is Shauna. Hey, Shauna, good morning. Good morning. Hey, so we're asking, you know, the Negro drink. Do you have a problem with that?

First of all, I want to know, is the other black or white? I think he's white. Yeah, I have a problem with that. But they have a Caucasian drink, too. They have a Caucasian drink, too, but a Caucasian drink too, but you know, they're from a 432 so you know how we feel about those type of situations. Absolutely.

That's not cool at all. I mean, what about the restaurants where you go in and they pay the waitress to be rude to you? They do? Yeah. It's a restaurant where they cuss you out. It's a bitch restaurant. Yeah, so it's no different.

People, you know what you're getting when you go to this establishment. So if they walk in, they call you a B or whatever, you pay for that. Then they got a restaurant, you go in there, all the lights are cut off. So it's what you,

if you walk into that. What restaurant was the lights cut off? That's that restaurant Diplo went at. He ain't know where Diplo went. That's what you talking about, Miss Pat. Diplo. That's the restaurant Diplo went at. He ain't know what Diplo... That's what you're talking about, Miss Pat. Diplo. That's the one earlier call. He said he doesn't know if a man gives him oral, it's not gay.

Oh, yeah, yeah, him. They don't look down. So, you know, people pay for that rudeness. Yeah, but I don't know about the Negro thing. Call us up right now. What do you think? 800-585-1051. There's a bar, a restaurant, should say Out in Pennsylvania that is naming

A couple of drinks, one is called Caucasian And the other one is called the Negro Now the employees walked out, how do you feel about it? It's the Breakfast Club, good morning I know it now I like it I like it I like it

Call me 800-585-1051 Morning everybody Call me And drop in into the Breakfast Club top Come on 800-585-1051 Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club We have Miss Pat here, she's our guest host And we're asking, there's a restaurant out in Pennsylvania That is naming two drinks, Caucasian and Negro

Now the employees are pissed off, they're walking out And we're asking, what are your thoughts? Hello, who's this? Oh, hey, this is TJ. Hey, TJ. Hey, TJ. What would you do in that situation, TJ? What's your thoughts?

I'd walk out. I would have been walked out. I believe we have to, and I'm biracial. My mother's Hispanic. My father's black. But we have to stand up. That is just, it's wrong. It's completely wrong.

They're disrespecting us. And it's not tolerable. Can you tell me what's wrong? You don't even need to put that money in there. I just want to know, what's offensive about Caucasian and Negro? I didn't know those were slurs all of a sudden. I don't want no one to address me like that, you know,

Negro. It's on my birth certificate and I was born in 72 and I'm not, nobody's calling nobody a Negro. It's the name of a drink. And we was just saying, there's restaurants out there that be rude to you. They have different names. I mean, I went to a restaurant in Houston, and they had the Obama meal at the breakfast house, at the breakfast club, the restaurant there. So white people walk in and say, I don't want a meal called a breakfast, the Obama.

I just want chicken and waffle, whatever grits and eggs. I just think we're too sensitive as people. I mean, it's a bar. And the word Negro, I mean, we don't use it in our everyday vernacular now, but back in the 60s, they used to use it all the time. You go listen to all them old MLK Jr. speeches. That's how he was referring to black people, like the Negro in the Constitution, the Negro in the American dream, the Negro was part of a huge community who seek new freedom in every area of life these are mlk juniors words

and this is before we became black people i don't know hello who's this i don't know hello yo what's your thought brother good morning man me man, we would have been fighting up in that motherfucking Jordan. I'm so confused, man. I'm not saying that y'all wrong. I just didn't, I don't know when Negro became a slur. It's not the word Negro. It's just the fact and the principle that he can do that and the black person's going to be okay with that.

Would you be okay with that? Well, there's a Negro drink and there's a Caucasian drink. If it was just a Negro drink and we were singled out, I would probably be like, what is up with this? But being that there was a Caucasian drink. Look, white or black. If I'm a white person, I'm going to be, you know what I'm saying, offended as well. So it plays on both sides. Why would you be offended about an actual word?

Like Caucasian means white skinned people of European origin. And they're known for making these types of names for their drinks. I wouldn't have been offended. I would have been offended if the Negro only had gin in it and the Caucasian had better alcohol. Then I would want to fight. Amber, good morning.

Good morning. How you feeling? I'm great. How are you guys doing today? Good. How are you, Amber? What do you think about the Negro and Caucasian drink? I think first off, we have to, you know, understand that these people chose not to do this during Black History Month, first of all. Second of all, I feel like... It ain't Black History Month no more.

You said it yesterday? It's March. I know. I'm saying they didn't do this during Black History Month. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you. It's called the Negro drink. Got you. They have enough sense not't do this during Black History Month. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you. They have enough sense not to do that. But also, you know, these days everything is about going viral and getting that attention.

I feel like they just did that to, you know, maybe get that certain notoriety, but didn't take into consideration, you know, their employees or how anyone else would take it. I feel like this is the world, you know, that we live in these days. True. Alright. Well, thank you, Mama. Hey, I just Googled Caucasian cocktail. Well, actually, I Googled Caucasian drink. And when you Google it, it's a recipe.

The Caucasian cocktail recipe. There's a bunch of them. There's another drink called the Dude's Caucasian. What's the Negro? Did you Google the Negro drink? I didn't Google the Negro, but the Caucasian drink is you fill a glass full of ice, pour in two shots of vodka and three shots of Kool-Aid, top off with milk. Oh, my God. It's lactose intolerant.

It's got to stay white. Now, go and do the Negro drink. That's called the Caucasian cocktail. I'm going to Google the Negro drink. It's Kool-Aid, not Kool-Aid. What did I say? I don't know what you said. Kool-Aid. Negro drink. Let know what you said. Kool-Aid.

Negro drink. Let me see. You said Kool-Aid. They have one called the Negroni, but it's not Negro. No. I don't even know

what a Negroni is. Let me see why it's called a Negroni. It's called a Negroni. It's borrowed from Italians named after a count named Camillo Negroni who asked for its creation.

And it's made out of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. I don't know what that is. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is I don't know when Negro and Caucasian became slurred, but I mean, if y'all want to be mad, y'all can be mad. I don't like the Negro thing.

It'd be four Negroes on rocks. Nah, I don't like that. I mean, if a person, if I'm in there and I see it on a million, that's something that they do every week. That's what the restaurant do. I wouldn't get mad. It's the same way you go to the Rude restaurant. I personally probably wouldn't go there. But I'm not going to get mad because that's their theme this month.

Some people like themes and they go get it. That's right. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your Rude Report. We'll tell you who just had a baby and who's in a new relationship. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.

Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.

Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

We have Miss Pat here, our guest host. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk spice. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills right on the breakfast club we gotta say congratulations to spice she is pregnant now you know spice a dancehall artist she was on love and hip-hop atlanta she announced yesterday she posted a picture she's glowing she looks happy and she posted god has been so good to me so congratulations to spice we wish her a healthy birth.

No, they weren't in there together. He put his arm around her as they walked inside. Oh, new relationship. Yeah, so congratulations to you.

Don't put your arm around me and they'll accuse us of being in a relationship. Because we're going to eat Mr. Child. Now,anda seal shout to amanda seal she was on the jason lee show and she was talking about kamala harris and how she felt about kamala harris supporting our community you know when kamala said this ain't a racist country she lost me and she ain't got me back yet do you think that that was her speaking to the hopes of not wanting to live in a racist America? She can't do that. Right. We have a country that was 1000% built on the foundation of racism that now legislators are trying to pretend didn't happen and are getting that through and doing it on an education level and on a DEI level. In my opinion, particularly not just as vice president,

but as the first black woman vice president who got there and who got this man elected largely in part because black women like myself were like, do what we always do, let's show up. You can't get in there in that position and then make such an egregiously false statement. I mean, Amanda isn't wrong. I understand politically why, you know, Vice President Harris wouldn't say that because they don't want to piss off those center right white swing voters. But the reality is when you in a time where people are actually going into grocery stores, like Amanda said, and, you know, killing black people intentionally,

you should be able to say that, yes, this is race. That's racist. We live in a country that is full of racism now we have the actual when kamala harris said it right we should be responding i don't think america is a racist country but we also do have to speak truth about the history of racism in our country and it's and its existence today yeah and amanda's like you said she's not she's not wrong she's absolutely positively right you know she's biracial so she was speaking on her white side. The vice president. Ain't she biracial? Oh, Kamala Harris? Yeah, she is.

You know, sometimes that white kick in. She's not white, though. The thing is, black and Indian, right? Yes, black and Indian. I thought it was Indians. It's not Indians. It's not no white. I believe it is. Well, she ain't biracial. She's just black. You know how black people say they Cherokees. My mom was a Cherokee.

And she smoked weed. Yeah, but you don't always have to be politically correct in regards to issues. Not when it's obvious. Especially when it's obvious. Exactly. All right. Well, you got racially motivated shootings happening in this country. And other racially motivated things.

You can call that out. Correct. And you can call out the systemic racism in this country you can absolutely do that correct all right well that is your rumor report miss pat we appreciate you hanging with us uh the last couple of days and tell them about your tour because you're going on tour yes i'm going on tour it's called your girl done made it y'all go to miss pat comedy.com all tickets are on sale now and um hey make sure you check out my podcast at the pat down and also i'll have season three streaming now on bet plus baby y'all over there killing bet keep doing a
