Starting point is 00:04:15 You know what I mean? When you out with your, not out with your friends, but when you're in a comfortable home-like environment, you tend to do a little bit more. Next thing I know, that whole bottle of tequila was gone. We were at the slopes low but we were like damn We want to leave and go back to the house and just be in the house drinking chill Yeah, and talk and laugh and we woke up on Sunday and like set our intentions for the week

Starting point is 00:05:01 I just relax the whole in which I need it. I watch football I watch football. I got one pick right out of all my picks this weekend. I got two picks right. But that's my dumbass. I went for all the upsets except for the Ravens build. I thought the Ravens build was going to win that game but even but if the Ravens were to win that would have been the upset. That would have been the upset yeah. Cause the build was the number one seed? Who did the Eagles play? Ravens were the favorite? Ravens were the favorite? Ravens were the favorite. I picked the Commandant the win. That's the only one I got right. I saw Gilly with the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:05:27 That's all I know. Yeah, I got the Chiefs right and the Eagles right. Alright, but we'll talk about it in front page news. Alright, don't go in here. We got a lot to discuss. Inauguration. Your president was sworn in. Did you see it? Did you watch it? We'll break it down. Oh, I saw some of it. Oh, and we got guests today too.

Starting point is 00:05:48 So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is out, she's sick and Lauren LaRosa is holding it down. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Now NFL, the Chiefs beat the Texans, the Commanders beat the Lions, the Bills beat the Ravens,
Starting point is 00:06:07 and the Eagles beat the Rams. That's the only pick I got right was the Commanders. I picked the Commanders to beat the Lions. I thought the Ravens were going to beat the Bills. Yep. Now the next game is Sunday at 3 and at 6 o'clock. Now also in college football- I picked the Rams to beat the Eagles, but that was just hate.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Was it? Because I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan so. Well in college football Ohio State beat Notre Dame 34-23. Who's going to win the Super Bowl though? The Commanders played the Eagles on Sunday at 3 bills, played the Chiefs on Sunday at 6.30. Who's going to the Super Bowl? I think it's going to be the Eagles and the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Nah bro, I hate to say it. I think the Commanders. You think the Commanders are going to beat the Eagles? I think the Commanders. I don't think it. I think the commanders you did commanders gonna be deagle I don't think so. I think the commanders. I don't think so He was a gilly Good morning. Good morning. Y'all listen. I know y'all want to talk about inauguration and all of that But before we get into that just like I'm Charlamagne. I want him to pull my black card Let's talk about dr. Martin Luther King day first if that's alright with y'all
Starting point is 00:07:11 So the US of course is reflecting on the civil rights icon as of yesterday his son Martin Luther King The third says holidays the holidays normally mean a day of rest and relaxation however He also hopes people can work together and to make the world better. And the continuation of his father's work goes beyond politics. Let's hear more from MLK the third.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But this is really about continuing the work that my dad and mom started to finish and create the beloved community so that freedom, justice and equality becomes real for all humankind. Today, we are more divided than we've ever been. Civility has to be brought back to the political landscape.
Starting point is 00:07:52 We want to be fulfilled and we must help create that climate no matter who is the commander in chief. But at this time, I think that it would be wonderful if we were engaged in service. So Martin Luther King Day was created in 1983 after the signing of legislation by President Ronald Reagan. The movement to honor his birthday didn't actually begin until 15...well, the movement to honor his birthday actually began 15 years early, just days after his assassination. And Stevie Wonder actually played a major
Starting point is 00:08:25 role in that with his song Happy Birthday in case you didn't know I was going to say that's the rabbit hole that you got to go down by yourself for but we don't have time for that but Bernice King she checked in talking about why or how it was wonderful that MLK day fell on inauguration day saying it reminds people of the work of her father and those who are unhappy with Trump's election. She said America needs to focus on the the goal of her father, which was nonviolence. Now switching gears, we are talking about inauguration and President Biden.
Starting point is 00:08:57 He has made his departure out of the nation's capital. He gave remarks at Joint Base Andrews following him leaving the U.S. Capitol via helicopter. The former president reflected on his time in office and praised his staffers. Let's hear, take a listen to Biden at Joint Base Andrews on his departure. We're leaving office. We're not leaving the fight. You're smart, you're skilled, you're passionate. The country needs you again. As you heard me say before,
Starting point is 00:09:27 no president gets to choose the moment to enter history, but they get to choose the team they enter history with. What? And we chose the best damn team in the world. Hey man, good riddance, okay? I know y'all love your Uncle Joe, but if you ask me, he leaves behind a legacy of selfishness. Okay, he should have been a transitional president who passed the baton to a younger generation of leadership, but he decided selfishly to run for a second term, only to end up dropping out way too late, which didn't give Democrats the time they needed to formulate a real plan
Starting point is 00:09:55 and Allah, we are here now today. All right. Well, I was going to say really quickly, if I can, there is a snowstorm that could be impacting the south as far as Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, or excuse me, maybe we I was going to say really quickly if I can, there is a snowstorm that could be impacting the south as far as Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, or excuse me, maybe we should rename it the Gulf of America, but we'll get into that a little later. Cold weather also affecting millions in Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi have all declared states of emergency.
Starting point is 00:10:19 The storm is expecting to bring snow, ice, freezing rain through Wednesday, making travel treacherous. Officials are urging those to stay off the road and keep a little water running through the pipes to keep them from freezing and bursting. In Texas, Houston's airports will be closed today and the National Weather Service is warning that there should be a generational winter storm. But we'll talk more about inauguration at 7 there's a there's a lot going on I'm telling you it's just not enough time y'all 2025 is underway let's go Biden also pardoned his whole family yesterday he pardoned Dr Fauci and the January

Don't text me about nothing. You're almost done in case. Who said send out that tweet? They said Trump put out a tweet saying,
Starting point is 00:16:09 all the fathers, y'all ain't gotta worry about taxes this year, y'all can claim y'all kids on y'all taxes if y'all can child support. Yo, I'm gonna tell y'all something, it's over. Like when I say it's over, it's over. The fact that we even believe this, I know that wasn't a real thing. But there was a rumor that Trump put that that yesterday
Starting point is 00:16:26 He signed an order that if if you pay child support you can claim your child on taxes that was Alleged order that went out looking at it now Trump didn't okay Trump didn't say female child support recipients can no longer claim children on Yes, US President Donald Trump posted on this is the claim US President Donald Trump posted on, this is the claim, US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that a woman who receives child support from a man can no longer claim the child on her taxes. False. We found no evidence of such a post on Truth Social RX.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Trump has said he would expand the child tax credit during his second term in office. We're doomed, bro. De'Shea, you gotta do your homework. You just can't be believed what your homie told you. We're doomed. No I don't believe none of that. What I'm saying is these baby daddies just believe in it. Texting off phones talking about what's the kids social security number. You're not

Thank you, Dachelle. Thanks, y'all. Have a good morning. Jesus Christ. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we have Jess with the mess coming up. What are we talking about, Lauren?
Starting point is 00:17:55 We do. We're going to get into the celebrity side of the inauguration because there was a lot of people that attended. There was a lot of people that performed for the pre-inauguration events, and people were pissed off. Alright. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club Yup, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious. She's not here today, but Lauren LaRosa, LL Cool Bae is. And it's time for Jess with the Mess.
Starting point is 00:18:20 The news is real, whether it's Jess Hilarious, of the show, the inauguration went down yesterday. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States of America. And there were a lot of celebrities in attendance. Logan Paul, Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, Conor McGregor, Nelly, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Dana White, Caitlyn Jenner. Now, a lot of there were there were a ton of celebrities there, but in particular, there were a few celebrities who got a lot of dragging for performing and being anywhere close to anything that had to do with President Trump.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, and Nelly. Now more particular, in my opinion, Snoop Dogg and Nelly got it the worst. Snoop Dogg performed at the, it was like a pre-ball. It was the... Crypto ball. Yeah, the crypto ball event in DC. That was over the weekend. I believe that was like Friday.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And then Nelly performed on actual inauguration day at the Liberty ball. Yesterday. Yep. Yep. So now Snoop Dogg, he got the backlash because people are like, wait, this isn't the same Snoop from 2016 who had so much to say about the artist performing for Trump let's take a listen to that. So ain't nobody gonna perform for Donald Trump huh? Which one of you jigaboo ass b****s gonna be the first one to do it? I'm waiting I'm gonna roast the f*** out one of you
Starting point is 00:19:58 Uncle Tom ass b****s for doing it. Which one of you b****s gonna't do it first I was the one that's performs for himself now people were also upset at Snoop because when he performs instead of blocking out the n-word he actually used the n-word and of course the crowd was extremely manate so let's take a listen to that performance Now on to Nelly. So Nelly, as I mentioned, performed during the inauguration day at the Liberty Ball. He performed a set of different songs. Now people were really upset at Nelly. They were saying, now with Snoop, we're confused because you don't need the money, but they were selling telling Nelly, oh, you must have needed the money.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And that's why you perform. Even Ashanti was getting backlash because of this. Now Nelly actually spoke out about his decision to perform. Let's take a listen to him talking about respecting the office and why he decided to perform. I'm not doing this for money. I'm doing this because it's an honor. I respect the office. It don't matter who is in office the same way that our men and women, our brothers and sisters who protect this country have to go to war and have to put their life on the line for whoever in office. So if they can put their life on the line for whoever in office, I can damn sure perform. Now that was him.
Starting point is 00:21:28 He was with Willie D live on YouTube. Now Nelly also in that interview talked about, cause you know, people are like, this is a man that, you know, has said so many different racist things that people think of as a white supremacist. Why would you stand next to this? He talked about that. What do you say to the people that say,
Starting point is 00:21:45 we're not giving you this backlash because of your political affiliation. We're giving you this backlash because you are popping up a white supremacist. I would ask them to show me where he's a white supremacist. He did say, if you don't vote for me, you're not black, right? Oh no, that wasn't him.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Hold on, I'm trying to think. Hold on, hold on, hold on. he did create the crime bill in the 90s which said that if you get caught with five grams of crack you do a mandatory five years that had mass incarceration he okay no he didn't do that he did not rent to black people what was in the 70s or the 80s so nobody's allowed to change right right? We can talk about past but we never want to talk about our past. You know what I'm saying? Now I'm not saying that he ain't got some f**ked up ways. But what I'm saying is that he's the president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Now, he spoke out in addition to this too at the actual the inauguration night and he basically said I got backlash my whole career You know when I when I perform with different people And you know, especially when he was in the country music world and now Beyonce's doing cowboy carter So basically the backlash ain't about nothing but people are pissed off and I mean they're really upset about it Ashanti had a fan page that said you we no longer can do this fan page. We don't want anything to do with them They're saying that they lost respect for not just Nelly but Ashanti Snoop Dogg I don't know they even threw Chrisette Michelle back into it. I remember she got in
Starting point is 00:23:10 trouble for the first time. I remember that. Yeah. They damn near tried to kill her career. Yeah. Now everybody was so happy that Ashanti spent the block and the family unit is good now people are like why would she spend the block he a loser she a loser all this stuff. You know, the hypocrisy that people display in regards to who they like and don't like is mind blowing to me. Like there is no way you are more mad at rappers for performing at these inauguration events
Starting point is 00:23:36 than you are at the elected officials who told us Trump was a fascist, a threat to democracy, a danger to our country and the constitution. They likened him to Hitler, but then folks like Biden just welcomed them back in the White House. Obama was sharing a good laugh with him at the funeral of President Carter. We know why the rappers, you know, did what they did. We know why they doing it.
Starting point is 00:23:56 They got paid. What's the politicians excuse for normalizing Trump? Oh, when I said that on Twitter over the weekend, I got, I'm still getting dragged. They said because Obama has to do that as a positive. He doesn't have to. Trump didn't do it four years ago. Exactly. Trump said the election was stolen in 2020 and then he acted like it.
Starting point is 00:24:13 He didn't do no peaceful transfer of power. He didn't show up to the inauguration because why would you ever show up to an inauguration after you just accused a bunch of people of stealing an election? Democrats can learn a thing or two from that. And if you ask me all that smoke you have for the rappers, you should have for Obama. You should have for Biden and all the other elected officials who got us all riled up and scared only to turn around and have tea with a man they likened to Hitler. Like literally just was having tea with him yesterday. I would respect it more if folks was consistent and they gave
Starting point is 00:24:42 Obama and Biden smoke, but I didn't see none of that. But y'all mad at Nelly and Snoop? Nelly and Snoop don't hold more weight than Biden and Obama? Like honestly, those performances are inconsequential. But what are people gonna remember two years from now in midterms or four years from now
Starting point is 00:24:57 when it's another presidential election? They gonna remember when, oh, you told us these were the, you liken this guy to Hitler and this guy was a threat to democracy, but then we saw you showing all your teeth with him at a funeral not only that when he sat there and and pretty much peed on your whole last four years in front of your face and you did absolutely positively nothing they ruled obama when he walked out y'all yo they did president biden did preemptive pardons yesterday for his whole family for dr fauci uh for the january 6th.

Starting point is 00:29:43 But then he turned right around and had tea with him before the inauguration. Well you did all of that. You're still saying this man is a threat and a danger but you're still having tea with him in the White House. Moral of the story is when they go low y'all should stay home like Michelle Obama did. Thank God for Michelle Obama drop one of Kuhl's bombs for Michelle Obama who seems to be the only person you can trust on that side because she's the only one keeping the same energy if you don't Like someone don't pretend to and if you think someone is a threat to democracy act like it well Biden pardon his people But he didn't part in over the black people that needed it Fannie. He didn't party. He didn't part in Maryland

Oh, yeah, he could have they could have parted Oh Fannie Fannie Willis and Alvin Bragg and could have part in all of them Yeah, I get to part of game part of the. Kiss James, they, yeah. Everybody get to partying. They ain't partying with black people, we partying with his people. People that look like him, I'ma hold you down, but the other people that needed it, now you on your own. Well, welcome to a new regime, y'all. And I hate so much when people say,

Now some kick sports, Chiefs beat the Texans,

Next week, well this Sunday I should say the Eagles take on the Commanders at three, the Bills take on the Chiefs at 6.30, and College Football National Championship, Ohio State beat Notre Dame 34-23. Good morning Morgan!
Starting point is 00:31:41 Good morning DJ, MV, Charlamagne the God, and Lauren LaRosa. How y'all feeling? Good. How are you? Black and highly favored. Good. Love to hear it.
Starting point is 00:31:52 All right. Let's talk about this inauguration. I'm going to just go ahead and get a disclaimer out there. Y'all, it's just not enough time to get through all of it, but I'm going to do my best. Okay. So President Trump, yes, President Trump has officially been sworn in as the 47th president of these United States of America, saying the tide of Change is sweeping the country during his inaugural address Trump said the golden age of America begins right now and He will declare a national emergency at this nation's southern border now Trump criticized the country's response to disasters and claimed that the fires have been
Starting point is 00:32:18 Burning for weeks in Los Angeles without even a token of defense saying some of the wildfire victims were even into in attendance of his inauguration despite not having a home to go home to. He also indicated that he will be changing the name of landmarks, the Gulf of Mexico. He wants to be known as the Gulf of America and Mount Denali in Alaska, which was named for the native people I believe in that land. He wants to be renamed to Mount McKinley after the 25th President William McKinley. Trump also thanked black and Hispanic voters for their support and mentioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day when he spoke during his inauguration address.
Starting point is 00:32:56 And he also spoke about eliminating DEI efforts and said the government will only recognize two biological sexes. Let's hear those comments from Trump's inaugural speech. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Today is Martin Luther King Day, and his honor, this will be a great honor. But in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit based. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders male and female If you're a minority who voted for Trump, how do you feel about DEI initiatives being wiped away? I'm just asking a question if you are a member of the LGBTQ community who voted for Trump
Starting point is 00:33:57 How do you feel about a lot of the executive orders you signed? Especially a lot of I'm about to say days, but I don't have to say that anymore Especially you transgenders who who supported you know Donald Trump? How does somebody like Caitlyn Jenner feel? Oh, she said congrats Wait, Bruce. How does Bruce feel that's crazy Wow. Yeah, we don't even know Okay, well they knew what he was gonna do. He wasn't quiet about it's not like he was hiding He said what he was gonna do first day now that he you talking about his Trump, right? Just making sure well, they both he's both he's He was quiet about it. It's not like he was hiding. He said what he was going to do first day. Now the he you talking about is Trump, right? Not Bruce.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Just making sure. But they both he's. They both he's. Hee hee. That's right, let's go. What you talking about? I hate y'all. All right, all right y'all.
Starting point is 00:34:35 You know TikTok was a huge thing. You know, that was a huge topic. Over the weekend, we were all stressed out. Where a lot of people were stressed out over the whole ban. Watching what happened on Saturday night. It went dark for about 16 hours on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Well, president Trump signed an executive order yesterday aimed at tackling
Starting point is 00:34:50 Tik Tok in his first time back in the Oval Office. He signed the order and let's hear what Trump had to say about Tik Tok. I may not do the deal or I may do the deal. Tik Tok is worthless. Worthless. If I don't approve it, it has to close. I learned that from the people that own it. If I do the deal, it's worth maybe a trillion dollars, a trillion.
Starting point is 00:35:10 So if I do the deal for the, I'm talking about doing it for the United States. If I do the deal for the United States, then I think we should get half. So basically, when users reopened the app, a message popped up thanking them for their patience and praising Trump for getting the app back online but I just need you guys to understand that this is only for about 90 days so we will see what happens as a result of this Chinese this tick tock ban is still in effect but as of right now if you have the app I believe you can use it while we're just sitting in limbo to see what happens. Go ahead and sell it to Frank McCourt and Project Liberty. You know, Donald Trump is proposing that it's a 50-50 joint venture that America owns half
Starting point is 00:35:48 of it, China owns half of it. I mean, go ahead and get the deal done, man, and give them whatever kickback they need to make it happen. Because that's what it's about. I'm disappointed by the way we was hurt, though. We was hurt Saturday night over TikTok. Not me, because I ain't got no damn TikTok. TikTok.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I got it. I was in the Poconos when it was dark, but I wasn't worried. I'm like, Trump going to bring it back. Yeah, we knew it was coming back. Trump know what he doing. Absolutely. Like, he knew, I knew it was coming back. Speaking of knowing what he's doing, he did sign an executive order pardoning roughly 1,500 people convicted in the January 6th riots.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Let's hear more from Trump on that executive order for the J-6 rioters, or what he refers to them as hostages. So this is January 6th. These are the hostages. Approximately 1,500 for a pardon. Yes. Full pardon. Full pardon or commutation? Full pardon.
Starting point is 00:36:39 We hope they come out tonight, frankly. He said he was gonna do that. And that's why his base loves him, because he keeps promises. And I'll tell you something else. The reason that that one right there is so interesting is because think about the message that sends. If I do something on behalf of my president, I more than likely will get out because my president gonna have my back. That's the message it sends. Yeah, well, if we could line up immigration, Trump's executive order on immigration. So switching gears, he signed a lot of executive orders yesterday, to be honest. One of them in which is on immigration.
Starting point is 00:37:19 He talked about designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and also ending the birthright citizenship, which basically means that if you are a migrant who came to this country and you had a child, well, that child is no longer going to be considered a U.S. citizen just because they were born in this country. So let's hear more about Trump's executive order on immigration. thousand American people a year. It's ridiculous. We're the only country in the world that does this with birthright as you know and it's just absolutely ridiculous but you know we'll see. We think it we have very good grounds. So of course as mentioned before he has declared a
Starting point is 00:38:16 national emergency at the U.S. southern border which will bring additional pentagon resources to the southern border and he does maintain that he is fine with legal immigration. The birthright thing is in the Constitution so he can't do an executive order against that correct? I'm not sure how that really works because everything is so unprecedented and not to mention you have the Supreme Court backing you so he said he's got good grounds so let's see what legal grounds he actually has. I mean Jesus.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Yeah. Y'all keep talking about the law in regards to Donald Trump. Donald Trump does what the hell he wants. What is that? And it can be amended. That's the thing. Exactly. You have people that can be amended.
Starting point is 00:38:55 He could put them in this. Yeah. So, and being that he's actually in office, you know, all of this falls under his official capacity that the Supreme court passed recently. So, I mean mean there's no telling what he's going to be able to do But yeah, I'm gonna keep you posted and that's your front-page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Thank you Morgan. All right I'll talk to you tomorrow. All right. Now when we come back, you know this man from BMF He's also the star of Lifetime's original movie Mary J. Blige's family affair which premieres this week DaVinci will be joining us and we're gonna kick it with DaVinci when we come back so don't go anywhere

I'm probably gonna do like 12 more and I mean it's fun
Starting point is 00:40:53 I feel like I'm already an anomaly by the grace of God, you know, I made it out in my situation It's like why not just try like whatever at this point, you know Let's go back for most people that don't know who DaVinci is or they've probably seen you but don't know the name How did you get into the acting business? I'm sure people know you from Power or from BMF. How did you get into acting? I know you started off as a rapper, so break the people down. Where you from, how you started, and your journey. Bet that. Bet that. So I'm from Brooklyn. I was in Brooklyn, then my mom moved to Jersey,
Starting point is 00:41:32 my parents split up, and then so I was like, orange and north area, and then back and forth between Brooklyn and north. I was getting in trouble a lot, then I moved to Florida. I got arrested, and my dad was like, yo, I gotta keep him. I was just a bad ass kid, just following the people in my environment, the people around me. When I was in Florida, I went to all white high school and that kinda changed my life. That changed my perspective on life. I was seeing things that I've never really saw before,
Starting point is 00:41:54 so it really just started developing my brain in a different way. And then afterwards, when I went to college, at one point my brother was like, bro, you should try this rap. I'm like, bro, that's impossible. What school you went to, what college? I was a college Central Florida. Central Florida okay. Yeah and I was like this is not gonna like be a real thing
Starting point is 00:42:09 whatever and I was like you know what whatever I'm gonna try it and I moved back up north. My mom's and Gloria Carter, shout out to her, Jay-Z's mother she had this diamonds in the rough. I don't know if you guys ever heard that. Yeah the group? Or the foundation? Yeah it's like a little restaurant thing foundation. Oh it was in Newark? Yeah in Newark. It was a Jamaican spot?, yeah, it was like a little restaurant thing, foundation department. Oh, it was in Newark? Yeah, in Newark. It was the Jamaican spot, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was, yep, exactly,
Starting point is 00:42:28 it was Caribbean food, yep. In Newark? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, so man, people would come there and every Thursday she had this open mic thing, so I got discovered from there. So I was like rapping, doing music there, and then I was in the studio, I was recording a lot,
Starting point is 00:42:38 but then after a certain point, I was like starting to lose love for it, because it was one thing when you're on the outside looking in, but then when you really start getting into business and you see what they're promoting, what they're pushing you, the direction that they're pushing you towards, I'm like bro, I'm not trying to perpetuate this.
Starting point is 00:42:51 This is really like people take this serious. So I was like they all don't like this. At the same time, I was told like you should start acting too because it's gonna help with stage presence. So I started acting, shout out to Mark John Jeffries. He was the one, the boy from Losing Isaiah and he played 50 in Get Rich and Die Try, and Lil Seize, and he was teaching his acting class
Starting point is 00:43:09 in New York, and I was like, yo, let me take it, and I started taking it, and then I started meeting people. Shout out to Lil Mama, because she was the one, like yo, she was like, yo, come to LA, like you should be my manager, ah, ah. Yo, you talented, you speak different languages, you rap, you do this and that, and I was just like, bro, she ain't gonna wanna sign me,
Starting point is 00:43:23 and she was like, bro, just go, And then I went and I just started booking consistently. Now you on the Mary J. Blige Family Affair series, the third installment of the series is- Family Affair. Family Affair, yeah. Yeah, how's it been doing that? It's been great, honestly. That's probably one of my most favorite projects
Starting point is 00:43:38 only because it was a role that had nothing to do with being black. It was just existing, you know what I'm saying? And it promotes the family nucleus, you know, in the black community specifically. I feel like a lot of us, we promote things that is to our demise and to our destruction. So to be a part of a project so early in my career,
Starting point is 00:43:55 you know, that is promoting what happens when having a family, the sacrifices that's being made and stuff like that, I'm like, bro, that's fire, bro. Cause it's done in a way that I feel like, you know Some kids watching this at home probably yeah I want that one day, you know Cuz we got so much content and material that is doing a complete opposite sort of place something like this It's like bro. I feel like God is like smiling down like yeah good job, bro
Starting point is 00:44:16 And when I watched it all I kept thinking to myself is like man, he loves her so much like yeah Ben Yeah, Ben. Not me. Well, you know what I mean I'm in the movie some people don't yeah people be watching him like oh bro I feel like you like her really I'm like no bro like I'm doing my job man like yeah well as an actor in them in the family affair thank you watching it I was like wow he loves her so much but there were times I mean y'all had there was a lot that y'all had to deal with like I don't want to give it away. But as an EP on a project, because your EP, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:44:48 On a project. Are you an involved EP where you're making those decisions to show like, it was like subtle moments. Like one time I think y'all went to a restaurant and she didn't order something and you notice in your life what's wrong? Because you didn't order blah blah blah. Little stuff like that. Are you being like, oh, we should do that as an EP or is that coming from somewhere else? Yeah, that adjustment, no. But a lot you being like, oh we should do that as an EP or is that coming? Yeah else that
Starting point is 00:45:10 Adjustment no, but a lot of things like yeah, I definitely behind him my guys we can't put this out I'm like bird this is not this don't really happen you know and a lot of times it was dope cuz they gave us the creative freedom to say certain things because oftentimes stories like This a different race is heavily involved like this Caucasian producers that really don't really know some of the intricate details What happened like me? So so they really don't really know some of the intricate details what happened in black community so they really like sat back a lot of times it was very like collaborative you know shout out to the producers John Jordan Davis Jeremy and everyone Bruce and everyone Mary of course like all of them so it was fire because I was really able to be like nah guys like nah this is gonna send the wrong message and like they
Starting point is 00:45:42 they listen I was like yo this is crazy like what like people don't even know like I really influenced that. Before you was in the business did you pay attention to the images of black people on television because I heard you mention that a few times. Absolutely. Okay. And I thought it was very disrespectful. Personally like you know a lot of times that you meet Europeans or white people that's really not exposed to black people in this country they have this preconceived notion that we're like very ignorant like the amount of times that people like Oh, man, you're so young and you speak so well in particular. I'm like as opposed to what?
Starting point is 00:46:11 Yeah, I'm like bro like it's like because it's that many people that is like You know because oftentimes what we do and I've been watching because I've been watching out for a while and different things I would like bro It's like they be asking the right questions to the wrong people sometimes and they say something like, oh my god, now the world think that's how we all think. And I'm like, no. Give me an example. Hell nah.
Starting point is 00:46:33 That was a good one. That was a good one. But it's just like, I'm like, bro, you having people answer certain questions about politics and they don't know about it or certain things about, I'm just like, important things. I'm like, bro, and I'm not trying to sit here and say I know everything. It's okay to say I don't know about it or certain things about I'm just like important things I'm like bro and I'm not trying to sit here and say I know everything I would it's okay to say I don't know I'd be like bro I don't have enough information on this so I'm not about to just give the wrong information but you know when that happens a lot or the content and like I mean we're looked at as violent as people are scared of us boy like

Good morning Morning, everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious. Charlamagne the guy We are the Breakfast Club Laura Rosa filling in for Jess and we're still kicking it with Da Vinci He's a star of Lifetime's original movie, Mary J. Blige's family affair.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Of course, you know him in BMF, Charlamagne. Who introduced you to just therapy and mental health? Who told you you need to go out there and do some work on yourself? Why did you have people around you that was doing it and you decided to do it? I got some friends that are strong believers in the Bible, whether it's their conservative Christian, their Pentecostal, Jehovah Witness, things like that and in the conversations that we have oftentimes when I'm talking to them it's like they hold up a reflection in my face and it's really good because a lot of times with certain spiritual
Starting point is 00:48:54 things it's like you could only see yourself spiritually just like you can only see yourself physically through a mirror or if somebody's telling you there's something waiting for it. If I'm telling you there's something waiting for it and there's no mirrors ever around you've got to trust what I say. So there's something waiting for you and there's no mirrors around, you gotta trust what I say. So there's certain things that only another person can see that's in your soul. So I think I've been fortunate enough to be around people that they hold me accountable.
Starting point is 00:49:13 You know what I'm saying? If I'm acting a certain way, if I'm just being too fleshly, they bring that to the forefront. Which forced me to go to therapy at one point. And I was like, bro, you should do it. And I was like, man, nah, cause I grew up with like OGs where it's just like, they call that all type of soft,
Starting point is 00:49:30 weak names that you get. All they need. Exactly. Every single one. They need it the most, right. And then I went there and then, you know, just thinking about certain things in my childhood and the way they was breaking that down and bringing it up.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I was like, yo, I'm like, bro, we all need this. And it's like a superpower. It's like the first time I'm like, bro, we all need this. And it's like a superpower. It's like the first time I feel like you ever just look at yourself in the mirror, get a haircut, and brush your teeth. That's what it do spiritually to you. A lot of people walking around, bro, they're so unaware of what's going on. And the ironic thing is they think they know so much.
Starting point is 00:50:00 It's like the people that's just so far from themselves and from reality, they got the biggest opinions and know so much, but I feel like when you go there, it kind of humbles It's like the people that's just so far from themselves and from reality, they got the biggest opinions and know so much. But you know, I feel like when you go there, it kind of humbles you and it allows you to see yourself from like a third party perspective. And it's healing, man. We need that. In you doing that, does it trigger anything for you because you had to go through therapy
Starting point is 00:50:16 yourself? I'm assuming you dealt with some stuff that was heavy, kind of like what your character Ben dealt with. Like did any of that trigger you? Definitely. My life at home is like, it's a tough one. You know, my brothers go through it, and they're going through it.
Starting point is 00:50:28 My family have gone, like, they're going through it currently, you know? So it's definitely a lot of pressure. You know, that movie, in a way, was kind of mirroring, like, some real stuff in life. Yeah, I just try to keep good people around to just help carry me and lift me up. But yeah, it's a lot going on back home.
Starting point is 00:50:43 And usually, when you're the one that like, you know, you make it out, so to speak, it's like, it is a blessing and a curse, you know? Cause then you start speaking a language that nobody around you understand anymore. And it's like, you're speaking everything but English. And it's the most frustrating thing. Cause it's like, you watch the way you can help somebody.
Starting point is 00:51:00 They ask you for advice, but then the things that you're saying, they're not even taking it. And then you're just like, it's almost going to drive you into insanity that you're saying they're not even taking it and then you're just like it's almost gonna drive you into insanity when you're the only one that makes that and then you're forced to create an extended family thank God that we could meet people and have this family but at the same time you just receiving so much from back home that
Starting point is 00:51:17 it's like it's like it's not what it's all cracked out to be it's a blessing because yeah you're financially free but that you've been chasing this financial freedom but you've been also building yourself in a prison simultaneously and you're financially free but like you've been chasing this financial freedom but you've been also building yourself in a prison simultaneously and you're like damn. When do you separate though? When do you say you know what sometimes I got to step away so I can be free mentally? That's why I got a lot of dogs and I go into nature and most of my friends not entertaining. Like I love the business Hollywood but that's not like that's not a real place. I had a real life you know so and I'm so
Starting point is 00:51:44 aware that that's not a real place and that's the way I try to separate out of that And I just I ride horses. I just do mad in nature, bro Like that's the only and that's where I communicate with God I've read scripture like God is the real reason why I'm like saying like the reason why I was talking to surgeon general About this is the u.s. Doctor for Vic Murthy So he hit me up last year to hop on this last leg of his tour What we are made to connect because the the national crisis right now, the mental health situation. When we were just having these conversations, man, he was just like, it's literally because
Starting point is 00:52:12 we're not connecting to higher power anymore. You know? And it's like, we literally have, I believe it's like a worship chromosome in like every human being to praise a deity to do this. But what we're doing, we're taking on these burdens in a narcissistic way and we're carrying a weight that we were never meant to carry. We're trying to fight this battle that's way bigger than us.
Starting point is 00:52:32 And when you just put all your worries, you cast all that onto the Lord, like it seems like a lot, but you're like, nah, I'm good. I know I'm just fighting a good fight, bro. This is really his battle, I'm just a soldier. So it alleviates that and that's how I'm able to just go about my day. Like by the grace of God, I'm not on any type of,
Starting point is 00:52:48 you know, certain stabilizers mentally or whatever, because God is that for me. Absolutely. Now I want to go to BMF. How did you get BMF? How was that, that situation? Oh, that was, man, that was fire. That was actually during the pandemic. So like, I was fortunate enough, again, man,
Starting point is 00:53:02 I hate to keep saying God, but it's the truth. No, no, I don't hate to say me, bro. I hate to keep saying God, but I don't want to be that person but like God's timing is crazy So like right before the pandemic was blown up on all-american and an all-american when a pandemic hit all-american got way big Like it was like the biggest show in the world because everyone's sitting their ass at home So we was like we got so famous that it was unprecedented like it was like they were gonna cancel the show on CW and Netflix made this show like just a household name and in doing that I had like three different offers for different shows and I saw a BMF coming I was like 50% I was like oh snap this is fire But I was like for a second I thought it was one of the power things cuz I'm not gonna lie
Starting point is 00:53:40 I never wanted to do power Only because it's like I feel like I wanted my first drug thing story to be a true story. I didn't want to just do it just to do it because when you're doing it, and no shade to anybody that do it, the little Power boys, Michael and Gianni, damn I love them. The little Power boys. I love them, they cool, they cool, they cool as hell. They get a little in stature and just everything. Jesus. But nah, not just that, not just that, that but I was just like if I'm gonna do that like I would every five
Starting point is 00:54:09 It's like a true story, you know, and I was like, you know This is two brothers that ran one of the largest domestic drug distributions and they knew who I was and I 50 watched the show All-american the show runner a lot of producers and it was like one audition that I like I tested and I was reading a long time each little mech a lot of producers and it was like one audition that I like I tested and I was reading a long time, Meach, Lil Meach, and it was like bro, like you bring something out of him that's da da da da da, whatever, whatever, and I booked it. And I was like, bro, and I actually went out
Starting point is 00:54:35 for B. Mickey and Terry. Wow. Yeah, so I really, yeah. Let me ask a question, because you know it is based on a true story, but you talk about the negative images of black people. BMF was, you know, huge drug dealer, so how do you justify playing that role?
Starting point is 00:54:49 Right, no, which is a great question, because I've been asked that before, this interviewer said the same thing, and I was like, okay, and they was like, how do you feel that you're promoting that, and you're perpetuating this image? I was like, well, if you watch an 824, a Blumhouse film, or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:55:01 or like a Scream, and somebody's stabbing someone 57,000 times, do you think that I's like stabbing someone 57,000 times. Do you think that I'm gonna go stab someone 57,000 times? No, and if that's what you're thinking, you probably shouldn't watch TV, right? So what I'm doing is I feel like, one, you should receive it in the same manner that it's art, but two, it's a true story.
Starting point is 00:55:16 There's a true story about black people that was part of one of the most successful human trafficking in the history of the world. The transatlantic slave trade was one of the most successful human trafficking in the history of the world. The transatlantic slave trade was one of the most successful human trafficking. Actually it probably is. It's actually, yeah, deep. So you got these two brothers in when slavery was abolished and all this stuff was happening. Now you got these brothers in the middle of nowhere. Everybody know poverty is the mother of all crime.
Starting point is 00:55:39 They know statistics show it. Benjamin Franklin said it. All the Founding Fathers know it. That's why systemically they put these things in a certain position this for you too fell you got these brothers that rose out of that that created this organization and Ran this organization that they ran and I just asked people I challenged him to be like imagine if they had a better environment That would have been Steve Jobs That could have been the Wright brothers that could have been Elon Musk in them that could have been you know to have that courage and To lead that many men to really listen to you and follow you and salute to you in what you're doing Exactly it's something illegal too, cuz you know if we do something illegal together
Starting point is 00:56:18 I don't really got listen to you because I can tell the cops on you at any moment, but they had you know I'm saying I'm like, oh, they had, you know what I'm saying? I'm like bro, bro, that's crazy. So I just challenge people to look at it from that perspective and be like damn like we're a product of, you know, I still think we live in a great country, but you know, the founding fathers of this country building on a certain playing field and you got brothers that rose out at a time that wasn't positive influences at all. So I think if they were born in different times of better influences they would have been scientists they would have been anything else.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Alright we got more with DaVinci when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning.

Oh, yeah, right So how do you feel? I don't even know if you see this, but like for that last season, a lot of what I was seeing online was people being like, all right, now the storyline is getting unbelievable. I mean, it's TV and film, you know, like I think, I think they got to over exaggerate and do certain things.
Starting point is 01:04:35 I mean, personally, some of the creative decisions I just be sitting back like, ah, damn, but I mean, there's only so much I could do. It was almost like when you're a player on the field, you're playing football, basketball, whatever. It's like you just got to run with the route that the coach tell you to. And it's like, it's bigger than you, you know? And yeah, but I shut up, humble myself. It's like, bro, I just got in the game.
Starting point is 01:04:55 I'm not trying to piss people off. So in this upcoming season, do you figure out love-wise, like, what you doing? Because you're all over the place. You got, it's like two families at this point. Yeah, I think he's more focused on the money. Like I think, I don't think he's ever gonna figure it out. I think it's still not figured out honestly. Guy matched.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yeah, it's me. Like it's not figured out to the point that the real Marquise is getting pissed. You know, like how that story is being portrayed. So I don't think, I think it, yeah, like it wasn't really thinking about family for real like that. They were just like, I mean, of course,
Starting point is 01:05:22 like they were to a certain extent, but it was like, yo like let's figure this situation out You know so I don't even think they really like had the capacity to be like yo We want to like I'm gonna think about really just sitting here building family with this one or that one you know But maybe that happens. Oh do people come to your real life upset about how you doing the Show because you mentioned that with a Giana Absolutely people really just be like bro. Why you do my girl Sydney like that Sydney Mitchell I'm like bro first one when you're, bro, why you do my girl Sydney like that? Sydney Mitchell?
Starting point is 01:05:45 I'm like, bro, first of all, when you're talking about the show, you use my real name. And then when you see me outside, you use the character name. I'm like, bro, that's kinda crazy. When you're saying, like, yo, Da Vinci was doing this for Lala,
Starting point is 01:05:56 that's on the show, but then when you see me in real life, you're like, yo, Terry, yo, you, Marquesha, that's my, and I'm like, yo, bro, like, you gotta stick to the, you know what I'm saying?

What's your dream role? Probably to play Toussaint Levichy or Ducyline they were like two characters I was very influential in the Haitian Revolution.
Starting point is 01:06:44 The Haitian Revolution was one of the most profound revolutions in the history of the world, only because it was the first time black people gained their independence on paper, and it was a small little army that destroyed Napoleon Bonaparte's army, who was known to be the best war general at the time. So I think it'll be fine to be a character in that story.
Starting point is 01:07:03 That's like a real Marvel superhero To black people, you know, like they created their own language, which is the language that I speak fluently, which is Creole Which is 75% French and like different languages and they switched it up Just so when they're fighting when it was in the war like the French people can't really understand but we can understand French You know, so it's kind of fire and I think that story is like dope is hell and that's one of the things that don't ever Get talked about I would love to play a character like that. I mean that's why they punishing Haiti to this day. Oh damn, Charlie man You said it brother. I'm not saying Yeah, yeah, not for you Dominican, right?

Starting point is 01:09:24 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get right to just with the mess On the breakfast club the coaches Dave Chappelle hit the SNL stage over the weekend. First of all, the opening monologue, of course, is Dave Chappelle, so it's going to be brilliant, but it was immaculant. He touched on a lot of things. So the first thing he talked about was just not wanting to take the job in the beginning, but he decided to take it anyway. And the minute he took it, all heck broke loose in LA with the fires. So let's take a listen to him joking about the fires.
Starting point is 01:10:18 This one is close to home. Now I don't live in LA. I've never been like a big fan of LA, but I've built many, many memories there And I have great friends there and a lot of them lost their homes and it broke my heart And then I go on the internet and I watch these fire videos and I read the comment sections and everyone's like yeah It serves these celebrities right. I hope the house burned down You see that that right there? That's why I hate poor people They can't see past their own pain. Hilarious.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Yeah, then he went into... Oh, monologue was hilarious. Yes, he went into the fires burning down like certain areas and he made a joke about West Hollywood, which if you've lived in LA, you know West Hollywood is called gayborhood. Let's take a listen to that. And then we watched the news or talk to my friends. They all have these conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 01:11:08 What started these fires? Now they say it's arsonists. I've heard this theory and I'm sure there were some arsonists, but there were a lot of elements that came together to make this fire the catastrophe that was the winds were 100 miles an hour. LA was as dry as a bone in the levees. And if you were a rational thinking person, you have to at least consider the possibility
Starting point is 01:11:29 that God hates these people. Sodomites. And that's not true because West Hollywood was unscathed. Because how can you burn what is already flaming? Hilarious. Yeah, he gets into ditty. Great segue. I've been in a lot of trouble my day, but man, let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:11:52 This guy Puffy, buddy, this guy is in an enormous amount of trouble. I've never, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. They've got this guy in a Rico case by himself. A lot of my friends ask me, they say, Dave, did you know anything about those free golf parties? And I be like, nah, man, I didn't know anything about the free golf. And they be like, well, how are these people you know is at the free golf, but she's the only one that wasn't at the free golf?
Starting point is 01:12:24 And I thought about it for a minute. I said, Oh my gosh, I'm ugly. hilarious. Yes, everything was hilarious. And you know, he always ends it with like a message because they bring him back normally during a really high like political time. So this was before the inauguration. So he did leave off a message for Donald Trump. Let's take a listen to that.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Man, remember whether people voted for you or not, they're all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they're all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you. I mean this when I say this. Good luck. Please do better next time. Please all of us do better next time. Do not forget your humanity and please have empathy for displaced people whether they're in the palisades or Palestine. Thank you very much and good night. And I loved it. Now yeah I watched it three times you know Dave is a master of ceremony and the ceremony uh the ceremony that is life and he just brings things together in a very good smart way. Smart funny way. Always. One of the funniest. He brought back
Starting point is 01:13:36 some iconic characters. They did a sketch where y'all know the pop the balloon stuff that they do. Where there's a girl named Arlette who has like her own version of Pop the Balloon and they spoofed that and he brought back Ashley Larry as well but he also brought back Silk Johnson and Beautiful and it was like a whole thing. Let's take a listen to that. Ready for the next man? Meet Silky. Thank you all. Oh, Silky, they shoot.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Sweet day and salutations, ladies. My name is Silky Johnson. Little bit about me. I'm a purveyor of precious goods and services. I.E. B****. I'm sorry, are you some sort of sex trafficker? I don't do traffic. I take helicopters, b****. Shout out to Donnell. Donnell was up here with us and he said he might make an appearance and he did. He was ashy. He was beautiful. Yeah that was smart.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Very much so and Glowrilla was in this scene too. She was one of the girls that had the balloon glow performed on SNL over the weekend as well. One of the best SNLs I've seen in a while probably because I sat there and watched the whole thing. And you was off the dime, right? Off the, no that was Sunday. I was high Saturday. But I don't drink no Don.
Starting point is 01:14:49 What you, oh my bad. I'm drinking Cotidragonis. Oh. Yeah, I'm drinking Cotidragonis. But yeah, I was high Saturday, but I sat there and I watched the whole hour. Yo, drop on the Clues bombs for Gorilla too. Gorilla, she bodied her. She killed the performance we had showed.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Oh my God. She was moving for sure Now in other news ASAP Rocky So you guys remember back in 2021 ASAP Rocky got into it with or allegedly got into one his homeboys or former homeboys ASAP Relly. Yeah, yeah And there was reports ASAP Relly had said that ASAP Rocky allegedly pulled out a gun shot the gun the gun grazed them The bullet grazed them whatever whatever so that is finally going headed to court. They'll actually be in court today, Tuesday.
Starting point is 01:15:29 And the judge has already said, like, look, I don't care who he is, we are gonna make sure that this is done fair, this is done the right way. We're gonna move swiftly to get a jury, and then once the jury happens, they're gonna start going down, you know, the whole case. Cameras will be allowed in the courtroom.
Starting point is 01:15:44 For anyone who doesn't remember, Asa Rocky is being charged with two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon He did plead not guilty and he's facing up to 24 years if found guilty in this And one thing to point out 24 years up to 24 years Yeah, and he really got shot or got grazed the reports over that he got grazed I think one was in a hand, it was something with the... I'm just asking. Yeah, the reports I know were grazing. But I think because he's taking it to court, normally when you take it to court and you want to fight it, they lay out all of the potential
Starting point is 01:16:16 years and then you know what I mean. You have to be taking it to trial, you mean. Taking it to trial, yeah. But one thing I want to point out, in the beginning of all of this, Joseph Tacopina was his his attorney people are pointing out the similarities that that was Trump's former attorney Yeah, I remember Trump was trying to help ASAP when ASAP was ASAP Rocky It's two ASAPs was um over and was it Sweden? I think he was in Sweden. Yeah. Yeah, he was stuck over there He was detained for a minute. People were like, okay. Well if something does happen at least, you know President Trump is,
Starting point is 01:16:45 he's an Asap Rocky fan. At least he'll be good. So we'll keep you guys posted with that. You niggas and your dot connector. Yeah, y'all connect dots. The way y'all do math is so silly. It sounded good to me. This is so silly.
Starting point is 01:16:56 I got to two plus two. I got it. I got it. I saw it. He wasn't filling the four. It was seasoned math. That's, look. He just hired a lawyer.
Starting point is 01:17:04 He hired him a little minute ago too though. He probably was a bunch of people's lawyer, but y'all look up who else's lawyer he was. He's probably just a good lawyer. It's not important. No, I've heard his name a lot. I heard you connected. You connected the dots the right way. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Alright. Shoot. Well Charlemagne, who you giving that donkey to man? Four after the hour. These people shouldn't have tried to connect, no dots whatsoever, but their name is Jennifer and Dustin Mayo. They need to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with them. after the hour these people shouldn't I just wanted to know how you came up with the donkey of the day. Tell them I made it! Because you're mean. I am not!
Starting point is 01:17:46 What did I do? Charlemagne donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in this street. That is why Charlemagne the donkey. If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we made a thing, we never will say it. If you don't give a damn, don't throw it home. Hey! Charlemagne, give it to him!
Starting point is 01:18:02 Give it to him! On The Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlemagne the God, he's a donkey, that's what he is. He ain't mother****** don't throw it home. On The Breakfast Club. Well Busta Rhymes, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday January 21st goes to a 44 year old woman named Jennifer Neal and 31 year old Dustin Neal. They are both from Oregon and according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department they were arrested for reportedly impersonating firefighters and using an illegitimate fire truck in the Palisades fire evacuation zone. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to King 5 Seattle for the report please. About 29 people have been
Starting point is 01:18:42 arrested in Los Angeles so far in connection to criminal activity related to the ongoing fires. That includes two people from Oregon who tried to drive into an evacuation zone while impersonating firefighters. Deputies said Dustin Nell and Jennifer Nell claim to represent Oregon's roaring River Fire Department which doesn't even exist. Deputies detain the individuals and question them. They have learned that this individual have purchased the vehicle to an auction and they had been in the area for about a couple of days. The two even had firefighter gear, helmets and radios.
Starting point is 01:19:21 Dustin L had prior convictions in Oregon for criminal mischief and radios. Dustanel had prior convictions in Oregon for criminal mischief and arson. Ah. I was born in 1978 and I remember dumb ass slogans like faking until you make it. The reason I believe that's a dumb ass slogan is simply because I don't believe in faking it ever. Okay ladies, this is why your man still doesn't know
Starting point is 01:19:41 what he's doing in the bedroom because you keep faking it, but at least there was an end goal. The end goal was to make it. Okay, we live in a generation now where you have a bunch of people just happy to be faking it and my 46 year old brain will never understand that. Okay, the whole you turn out to be what you pretend to be, not if you don't actually work to be whatever it is you're pretending to be. Okay okay this era just likes pretending this era just likes faking and I don't understand why because you all work very very very hard to pretend you all bust your ass to fake things Dustin and Jennifer didn't
Starting point is 01:20:18 just lie and say they were firefighters they went and got all the gear and a whole fire truck I didn't know they just had those things lying around. They claim they work for the Roaring River Fire Department in Oregon but no such agency exists. This is why a bunch of y'all sitting in prison right now for fraudulent PPP loans. Because you created companies like Roaring River Fire LLC and no such company existed. But people, the the time the energy towards those ideas we spend countless hours working towards those ideas why is
Starting point is 01:21:01 your brain wired to put all this effort into pretending but not actually doing real work? I'll tell you why, because social media has it to where all you have to do is look the part. That's it, folks get off on looking like they're doing something as opposed to actually doing something. And y'all pretending to do amazing things. Jennifer and Dustin pretended to be firefighters
Starting point is 01:21:26 in the Palisades in LA. They showed up in a fake fire truck talking about we're here to save lives. If you're gonna impersonate a public servant, aim a little lower next time, okay? Don't start as a firefighter showing up to a catastrophe like the LA fires. Be a fake mall cop or something, okay?
Starting point is 01:21:44 It's not like being a rapper where you don't even have to have talent anymore. You can just, be a fake mall cop or something, okay? It's not like being a rapper where you don't even have to have talent anymore. You can just throw on some fake jewelry, whatever the latest rapper wardrobe is, put little in front of your name and voila. That's easy to impersonate. But firefighters, firefighters have a certain set of skills. They have to run in the burning buildings.
Starting point is 01:21:59 Jennifer and Dustin wouldn't be able to save you from a flaming hibachi grill. It's too many humans, man. Too many humans in the way. Too many humans in the way out here. Y'all out here trying to save you from a flaming hibachi grill. There's too many humans man, too many humans in the way. Too many humans in the way out here. Y'all out here trying to be heroes in a fake fire truck while the real heroes are busy risking their lives trying to save lives. And what would happen if you all actually got into some action?
Starting point is 01:22:17 Huh? You think you're gonna out firefight the real firefighters? The real firefighters gonna see something burning and know what to do with it. You all gonna see something burning and say, nah, I'm just playing. Pretending to be a firefighter during a tragedy like the LA wildfires, that's like pretending to be a dentist with no teeth.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Okay, Jennifer Dennis, you all have no tools, no training and no damn common sense. But what you do have is charges for impersonating a firefighter and entering an evacuation zone. The truck which was purchased at an auction was also impounded. Sidebar, what's the point of selling a fire truck to regular civilians? That should be illegal.
Starting point is 01:22:54 What else am I going to do with a fire truck after I buy it? Anyway, please give Jister and Dustin Neal, Jennifer and Dustin Neal the sweet sounds of the What was you going to do once you got there though? Like once you get in there with the fake fire truck and the fake fire gear, then what? Did they have the mask too for the smoke inhalation? I don't think it matters. Did they have water in their holes? What was the point?
Starting point is 01:23:34 What do you do once you get there? I don't know. Take pictures for the gram. But it's funny that you said that because I seen a special on TV this weekend about people buying these fire trucks and it's a lucrative business they actually rent them out for like kids having birthday parties parades and all types of kids activities what I think is when he ran out these fake fire trucks that really don't work
Starting point is 01:23:56 and they have the lights and everything like that and the ladders and all that so that makes sense because I'm sitting there thinking why would you even sell that in an auction no the fires of those people went to the fires in LA though. No. The fires in LA. I don't know what he was going to do. You ain't even start small. You went for the gusto. Like you didn't even try to get a cat out of a tree. You know what I'm saying? Right Lord have mercy. Alright. Well thank you for that donkey today. Now when we come back Master P will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Master P so don't go anywhere else. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:24:25 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And we got a special guest in the building. The legend.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Master P. Welcome back. What's going on, yo? How you feeling, brother? Man, you know, we've been dealing with a lot in New Orleans, but we're holding on. And so, for the 14 people that lost their lives down there, we're definitely praying for them and their families and the ones that got injured in this terrible tragedy, terrorist act that we had going on down there, man. I got in the studio with Miaere Eggs and KLC produced a song
Starting point is 01:25:08 with Trombone Shorty with Mack and Symphonic and we made a song for the city and all the proceeds going to the families of the victims, so, and it's called New Orleans Keep Holdin' On and We Holdin' On. Some people were upset a little bit and felt like New Orleans should have shut down a little bit longer. What are your thoughts on that? Well, you're going to always have opinions, man, with everything, but we got to let God
Starting point is 01:25:30 lead us on this journey. And so imagine if we didn't bounce back and didn't stand up, then everybody be saying, man, why y'all holding y'all heads down? No, we got to keep going. The ones that are alive, it's like anything else. For some way in your heart, you just gotta let God just keep you moving, and that's what it is for us. We just keep moving, like we gonna keep moving
Starting point is 01:25:50 no matter what. We also praying for the ones that lost their lives in California in the fires, the ones that lost their houses. So, I mean, y'all had something in New York, y'all had to keep going, they had something in Chicago, had something in Vegas, you know, we dealing with evil. But whatever they meant for evil, God gonna turn it, had something in Vegas, you know, we dealing with evil. But whatever they meant for evil, God gonna turn it into good, and so, you know,
Starting point is 01:26:08 that's the resilience with the city of New Orleans. How do we stop that from happening again, right? Because if you put barricades up and you block people, that kinda kills the vibe of what it was, right? So is there a way to prevent that from happening again? Man, we just gotta keep praying and doing the right thing because that could happen anywhere. I mean, the stuff that y'all had happen in New York,
Starting point is 01:26:28 like you can't stop evil acts. It's now we gotta deal with the mental illness. We've been talking about this. When you see signs of people not doing stuff right or going a different direction, then like, you know, we have to do something about it. We have to talk to our people about it. We have to sit down.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Some of these people need to get counseling. Some of these people need to get counseling. Some of these people need to get help. Some of these people need to get therapy. So, I mean, even when you look at the people that's in the military, the people that are protecting us, like these are just regular people. And so you don't know when somebody's going to go left. But what we can do is, you know, that's why we create all these different organizations to mental illness is real And so we we have to take note when we see these type of things What is what is Bourbon Street like today? Like right now like what's happening there? I mean we we had the sugar bowl game a couple weeks later and that was sold out and
Starting point is 01:27:19 People still walking down Bourbon Street still have business people still have to survive You got a lot of great restaurants down Bourbon Street. You still have business people still have to survive. You got a lot of great restaurants down Bourbon Street and I think that's what it is. We do have a lot of flowers and crosses and stuff out there for the victims that lost their lives but at the same time, I mean, we got to figure out some kind of way to come together. Now I think putting the plaques up there to remember the ones that we lost, I think that's going to be the right thing to do. Because I think even when you keep passing by and you see that, it almost seems that you kind of like keep reliving it.
Starting point is 01:27:52 And so we got to get to a position, hopefully we get to that position by the Super Bowl to where we don't have to keep reliving that and we can keep praying and moving on. I wanted to ask, we haven't seen you in a couple of years, but you were one of the first to stand on HBCU athletics, right? Yes. And I remember when your son was going to college and you put yourself into a HBCU, people laughed. They said they couldn't make it. You wouldn't get TV time.
Starting point is 01:28:16 Now to see how things have changed, how does that look for you? What's your thoughts on that? I mean, it looked good for me because, about it racism still exists, prejudice still exists in our country even though we getting farther and getting better right but it's still places that you could go that you still have to deal with this. The great thing about it HBCUs is that this is our people, this is our culture and that's why you know when I when I went spoke at the graduation at Gremlin and just seeing all the people and watching us
Starting point is 01:28:49 evolve being able to now go to Gremlin and say we're gonna do movies over there you know so it's like we have more opportunities but now we making sure that the facilities are better now because think about back in the day the facilities. You said that was the biggest thing I didn't have the facilities for the cancer we didn't have the doctors We didn't have the right training and now you know by us making that noise We're starting to get some of those things that shout out to Dion Sanders I mean for for stepping up and going build his career at HBC you and I'm y'all might see me real soon coaching
Starting point is 01:29:23 basketball I Ain't gonna let y'all know. Not at HBCU. Y'all gonna see. That'll be different. You got the Sonjacks in that Delaware State. Mike Vick at Norfolk. Coaching HBCU basketball team, that'd be hard. Yeah, I mean you know what? I think that's why we can't be afraid to grow up and be able to follow whatever pack go put you on. And so I just feel like coaching, I coached DeMar DeRose and I coached Lance Stevenson.
Starting point is 01:29:49 I mean, so many great pro athletes, Brandon Jennings, and now to be able to get to a college and understand how this NIL stuff work and be able to help our culture. And that's what that's about for me, because it's also about preparing the next generation. What's in the middle Miller jeans, man? I see a Silksun at LSU ball, an average of 17 and 5.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Yeah. No, it's good, man, because Silksun at LSU.

I'm AJ Stevens, vice president of client strategy at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion in current NFL quarterback contracts. Introducing the Athletes First family podcast, the quarterback series. Along with my cohost, Brian Murphy, Athlet's first CEO, we're pulling back the curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape, the ones who
Starting point is 01:32:53 negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract that sent shockwaves through the league. This isn't just about the numbers, though. It's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tungal-Valliloa, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line.
Starting point is 01:33:21 Listen to the Athletes First Family Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart
Starting point is 01:33:44 of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy, my doll. Lingerie, topless. I said yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and
Starting point is 01:34:05 has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. My son is at Houston doing this thing and they both freshmen. So you know, but I told my son, I say education, don't rush it. You know, I mean, he had one of the top schools in the country in basketball. He averaged 30% high school last year. And now he told me, he said, dad, when I get out, I wanna be able to be one of the best players in the NBA.
Starting point is 01:34:47 And I said, you know, I taught him that hard work to where this kid was three years old. I went to Target and brought the little plastic hoop. He just loved the game, like how Steph Curry loved the game. Wow. Is it a blueprint? Like do y'all say, look, if you do this, this and this, y'all gonna get to where y'all need to be?
Starting point is 01:35:04 Yeah, because think about it right so when you successful you could give your kids everything and then they have that entitlement thing but you know with my kids they know that I didn't get his kid a car till he got in college and so now he's on that path to build character he put God first and and he just wanna he want to win he want to be be great, and he just wanna win, he wanna be great. And so I just think y'all, even with Black History Month now, I love what you say about the HBCU, but even in hip hop, we don't have that, like we're doing the first hip hop Black History Concert at the NJPAC Center in Jersey on February 28th, so you can get your tickets
Starting point is 01:35:41 now, go to Ticketmaster or go to MasterPCon Master P concert calm but this is all about educating our culture educate now people and we're gonna turn up is I'm Drew Hill to be there the locks and masterpiece so this is gonna be a tie it says camouflage camouflage where your camouflage you know I'm saying so we won't represent we got more with Master P when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club Laura Rosa filling in for Jess Lauren I was at the high boys reunion. Yeah Louie and he came out on stage and gave Wayne and you told him about the Star that he's gonna get on Canal Street stuff like that seeing you come out on the stage knowing y'all history
Starting point is 01:36:21 For me and I'm not even from New Orleans But I was standing with people that were and they were like literally in tears just to see you guys on like I mean it's been years but same record and like it's just all positivity. Yeah. When you got the phone call that that reunion was happening how did you how did you react to that and then what was the decision to honor him on that stage? I mean he's the greatest rapper alive and he's from New Orleans so like people don't realize like we all live right up the street from each other
Starting point is 01:36:47 So people don't really understand the history or know but you just think and I think that's what we got to Stop creating these beeps and creating all this negativity You know why we I just drove down fifth Ave and see all these stores y'all have out here They all selling the same thing. I'm happy for them I mean, I'm honoring baby and Slim on Canal Street too. So it's a lot of love in our city. People don't realize that even though y'all don't see us together all the time and we grew up you know with different expectations, we still root for each other. So we've been rooting for them ever since we started. They've probably been rooting for us every, that's just a New
Starting point is 01:37:24 Orleans thing. That's like with me and my brothers. We'll get into it next week. We catch one of y'all and we're going to be fighting together. You know what I'm saying? That's just how it is. How is he murdered doing? You said he could possibly get it out. Is there some light to the case? You know what? I mean, we just got to keep praying. He'd been in there a long time and hopefully he'd get his day to be able to get back and get to functioning and doing what he needs to do.
Starting point is 01:37:47 But we just keep praying as a family. So that's why I tell people, you know, love your loved ones when they walk out that door because you never know when they're going to come back. We experiencing this now in real time. How are y'all? Because I know like a few years back there was like the back of what you were seeing murder and monocular. Short, I just told you, this is my family. I would go to war for my brother
Starting point is 01:38:08 I don't even play behind and we don't even have to get into that like We family you got brothers and sisters if you do, you know all that stuff you see that'll mean nothing You know my son I'm going to wall behind mine I'm just leaving you know So all that stuff y'all see don't believe none of that stuff y'all see on the internet. And I done changed my life, but I will go in that water behind my family. How you should. I was gonna ask, you know, I hate to use the word regret,
Starting point is 01:38:31 but the one thing about your family, P, is you showed us everything, right? Showed us the good, the bad, the ugly. And a lot of times when black families weren't showing the positive side and what you did for your kids, you regretted that all because you showed the good, but then it also comes with the bad? You know what but that's life and we got it we just got to change with the times. I mean think about it right now
Starting point is 01:38:50 we everybody afraid of AI. I'm not because you either gonna have to figure out how to work with it. We're gonna be successful. We building family brands now and so what's good we don't have to sit back and be afraid to say we're not a perfect family. You know, nobody has a perfect family because y'all all have been through something. Even everybody here on this show has been through something like, man is y'all serious? But we got to stop listening to clickbaits, you know, these headlines that say they're never going to tell you the truth, right? My thing is long as you know the truth and you know God, you'll be good. Because my thing is now I'm about
Starting point is 01:39:24 kingdom building. I'm about kingdom building. I'm about doing the right thing and about being a servant for our people and educating our people. I mean, we losing so many young people. I had Nipsey Hussle in eighth grade in my program. So my program been around for over 25 years. He was in my program in eighth grade.
Starting point is 01:39:39 And I told you guys this, right? He was trying to figure out how to sell records. He got up to like 200,000. When he died, all his records went triple platinum the same songs it ain't like nobody changed nothing this stuff but I'm just saying we got to be here for each other while we here let's not be great when it's too late you know and so we all can create our own products and brands I tell you but now I created Miller family foods because we look at Kellogg's we look at
Starting point is 01:40:04 Gucci Versace and all this all these are family brands How come we can't do right? I was gonna ask you feel like a lot of times we hate on each other the reason I asked that right is Something happened with your son a couple of a month ago, right? Yeah all over the blogs. Yeah charges were dropped I seen it on one block I see you know what? You know To be honest with you I don't worry about that you let God fight your battles and he say whatever they they meant for evil God to turn it In the good right, but everybody know
Starting point is 01:40:36 Guess what if that was real my son wouldn't have been able to keep playing He couldn't go back to school. So they made a headline, right? So you can't steal something that's out by the trash can for a month and a half in the snow, in the rain. This was some old things where these kids, they pick up, you know, you go to college, they pick up chairs that be out there by the dumps, they pick up all this stuff. And then they put a price tag on it, say $1,500, something that was worth $100, that they're giving away, that they let the kids come, everybody been to college.
Starting point is 01:41:11 My son- Everybody but him, he has a bug in him. My son drive a $200,000 car, he got a multimillion dollar, I'm glad it happened because that let me know that we still live in a broken world, but if it didn't happen with my son being involved, y'all would have never knew, then you would have really been looking at these other kids like they did something. And if that, I'm being honest, if that's the only thing my son ever did, I'll be a happy, proud dad.
Starting point is 01:41:33 Let's be honest. That don't even make no sense. But I told my son, I say, you're a businessman, what you want to do? He say, we know what, dad? They called me Hercules. We about to start making some Hercules refrigerators. we're about to start making some Hercules refrigerator. That's what we're going to do. We're about to make some Hercules refrigerators now, and then we'll be able to give them to the kids in the HBCU. But that's what happened, right? My son is in a school where it's not as many of us.
Starting point is 01:41:57 That's in Utah. But they wasn't after my son, they was after the coach. They have a black coach. Because think about it, imagine all the stuff that happened I'm just seeing a kid get killed at these schools play basketball They get in all kind of stuff the craziest stuff that I don't see they don't even report the coaches are go man Oh look, don't y'all come over here for my school The campus police should have ran over there and did that like don't you think it didn't they mention none of the other people name?
Starting point is 01:42:21 Just mention masterpiece son. Wait, it didn't start with campus police, it went straight to the police outside of the campus. Yeah, so that's how we knew. Which is un-normal. Yeah, but that's how we knew they was after the coach. What happened with the lawsuit with Walmart over the snooker? Man, think about it, right?
Starting point is 01:42:34 Even that, Walmart put a big old thing, it just supposed to be Black History Month, they not even worried about diversity no more, it's that easy. Oh yeah, D.I. is right. D.I. is right. They went back that way from that in general. You know what I'm saying?

And he stops here and he goes, are you looking for someone? I said, no. And then he sat here. And I was like, I need to get in. Well, that's my husband. That's why he lives here.

Getting dragged online and she actually has to come online and apologize. She don't want to lose her job. Did I over react? Yeah maybe a little bit but I showed up at the door and I said that I was sorry two times. That's the tea. an opportunity to reconcile like I will I'm so sorry could ever offended you and so I've absolutely apologized multiple times it's not been accepted direct messages saying that I'm a racist going as far as saying that I was trying to have a black man killed. Man those neighborhoods with Facebook groups as hell.
Starting point is 01:47:41 She thought he was a white man. She said, OK, so in another part of the apology, she says that she never thought that he was just this black guy. Like she wasn't scared because it was a black man. She said she couldn't tell who was in the house. Liar. She said or who was in the car. She said she actually heard her husband are trying to get the rest of the rain camera where she alleges she had a conversation with her husband.
Starting point is 01:47:59 You should be able to hear where her husband says, are you sure he just doesn't live there because this house is a black family and she's like, I can't tell who's in the car. I don't think it is a black man. So she's saying it wasn't about race. She was just scared because she was outside with the two kids and it was dark and she couldn't even approach her. She just started yelling after she asked him a question. Well, he did ask her like, you good?

I have nothing against their family, but I grew up dealing with this all the time. We still have to live here. They live two streets over. We have to ride by each other's house. I'm okay with being cordial, have no issue with them. The issue is getting a word out here and letting my situation be
Starting point is 01:49:06 inspiring to people in the world. People that look like me. I'm thankful for God because I didn't ask for her to show up on my porch. This is God telling me that people need to hear your story. You need to inspire and use this so that the next person that comes across a current situation, they will know how to control their emotions. I'm a real estate developer. I build houses from the ground up. I thought that moving into the most wealthiest neighborhood in Ohio
Starting point is 01:49:33 that this was the right thing to do, but maybe my focus needs to be building communities that's for us and by us. He went to build another Wakanda so this don't happen again. Oh, being black is an amazing adventure, okay? It is a constant learning experience, and bias. He went to build another Wakanda so this don't happen again. Oh, being black is an amazing adventure. Okay, it is a constant learning experience and it's not about what people say to you, it's about how people respond to you.
Starting point is 01:49:52 But you gotta find a happy medium because when you talk about community, community isn't just necessarily your skin complexion, community is like people that you are like-minded with. Exactly. You gotta find the right energy because you might build that community and be screaming help your goddamn self Other racist news is another video we had time to put other racist news love hip-hop Miami.
