I was here for business yesterday, but I went to go watch the University of South Carolina Lady Gamecox win their fifth straight SEC championship last night. Congratulations.

We got some Bobby V in a Q? No. Big Bobby Vizzle. No. I know we got slow down. Come on, man. We're not starting to show that way. We start the show.

Today is Dominican Independence Day. Oh, wow. Happy Dominican Independence Day to all the Dominicans out there. That's what's up. I want the record to show. I want the record to show. Jess O'Larias shouted out of Black Man's birthday. Yes, sir.

During Black History Month. Black, he was a classic album. His first album is a classic. And Envy cut that off the rep for the Dominicans, but then he don't want to be Dominican. Exactly. I'm not Dominican. I'm just shouting out to the Dominican. You know Bobby v. Black, y'all.

You got to pick aside. No, you're not. I am black. What the chorus mean? I don't know. You don't know. You don't know. You know.

I don't know. I don't know. I'm black. But I'm just saying. Salute to the Dominicans out there. All right. This is cultural appropriation. The reason is cultural appropriation is because you are a Dominican

pretending to be black. I'm black. Man, let's get some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. Jeff Charlemagne, happy Independence Day, NB. I know, it's not my It's not my independence day, NV.

It's not my independence day. Go to go ahead. Oh, my goodness. All right, well, we start this morning with a major development that could impact how Americans vote in this year's midterm elections. So sources say President Trump is reviewing a draft executive order backed by pro-Trump attorneys that could dramatically change how elections are run nationwide. So the draft calls for declaring a national emergency based on claims that China,

interfered with the 2020 election. It's very important to note that U.S. intelligence, they reviewed it, and they found that there's no evidence that China changed vote totals. And supporters argue that declaring an emergency would allow the president, though, to set national voting rules ahead of midterms, including requiring voter ID across the country, replacing voter machines with hand-counted paper ballots, and banning most mail-in voting. Now, it's not clear whether the president will move forward, but he has publicly seen. said that he wants stricter voting rules in place before November. And here's the main issue.

Under the Constitution, states not the president have the authority to oversee and manage elections. A Maine's secretary of state, she says state election officials are already working together to protect the voting process. Let's listen to what she said. The secretary of state are going to stand up and fight back. President doesn't get to do this just because he wants to. They're absolutely terrified. They know what they're doing is deeply unpopular. And they're going to get crushed in November. And that's why he's so desperate to try to exert control over the elections. And it's not going to work because here's the thing. Election officials are the world's best contingency planners. We're making plans. The states are going to share threat information.

They're going to do scenario planning, table top the votes, coordinate amongst ourselves without the federal government because the federal government is showing itself to be an adversary in all of this. I don't like her tone. She's talking too calm for me. Like she's talking like this is just politics. This is usual. Like, this is just a political dispute. At this point, everyone has to stop acting like the Trump administration isn't an authoritarian regime. They do not care about democracy. They constantly wipe their ass with the Constitution.

I don't like throwing words like fascism around loosely, but what else do you call this? This isn't about Democrats and Republicans anymore. This is about democracy or no democracy. I don't know about y'all, but I don't want to live under a dictatorship. Hell no. Hell no. No, of course not. But if this executive order is issued,

it would almost certainly face immediate legal challenges. And speaking of legal challenges, Hillary Clinton, she spent nearly six hours behind closed doors yesterday, testifying before a Republican-led House Oversight Committee about the Jeffrey Epstein files. And she told lawmakers she has no new information on Epstein or Galane Maxwell. She said she never met Epstein, flew on his plane, and never visited his island.

Clinton, she called the investigation a partisan distraction instead of lawmakers want real answers, they should question President Trump under oath. And she was also pressed about her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and his past association with Jeffrey Epstein. Let's listen to how she responded. The chronology of the connection that he had with Epstein ended years, several years before anything about Epstein's criminal activities came to light. I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people who had contact with him before his criminal pleas in 08 were like most people. They did not know what he was doing. And I think that that is exactly what my husband will testify to.

So why would they question in her if her husband is the one that had the relationship allegedly with Epstein? Like why was she on the stand? but at that position. Good question. It's a Republican-led committee on this side, and so, you know, a lot of this, as they're saying, is performative. So, you know, Democrats are, you know, conducting their investigation.

Republicans are conducting their investigation, and they wanted to speak to Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, who is expected to testify today. Yeah, I don't know if Hillary Clinton never met Jeffrey Epstein or not, but those AI pictures would Epstein and the Clintons be killing me because I know Hillary Clinton, Jeffrey, I've seen Michael Jackson and Webster never been together all at once.

But people be posting the pictures on it. Like that, they are so real. Yeah. We have seen those. And if you are in Texas, today is the last day to vote early. Turnout is surging. More than 850,000 Democrats

have already cast ballots in the Senate primary, outpacing recent cycles and making up the majority of early voters so far. So on the Democratic side, you've got Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and state representative, James Telerico, who are top contenders. And recent polling shows Crockett leading by double digits, but the race remains very competitive.

And Republicans, they are also in a very deeply divided primary that has turned a little bitter. As Senator John Corwin, he is facing challenges from Attorney General Kim Paxton and Congressman Wesley Hunt. Now, that race, it's been marked by personal attacks, including corruption and infidelity. But President Trump, he is headed to Texas today, as this geosal. GOP fight intensifies. All three candidates, they've been highlighting their ties to him. He has yet to endorse anyone. But Republicans, they are watching very closely.

Texas has not elected a Democrat to the Senate in 1988, I believe. So with the higher Democratic turnout, with Republicans losing key races, this stakes are really high. So if you haven't voted it yet, today is your last chance to vote early. Tuesday is Election Day, March 3rd. You can always vote on March 3rd, but today is the last day of early voting in Texas. All right. Well, thank you. Yes.

Me, me. Well, coming up at 7, what started as a winter fun day may have crossed the line. Well, we've got an update on that Snowball Gate story. We covered earlier this week. All right. And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

What's happening, Tracy? Get it off your chest, Tracy. Okay, I work for the post office, and I want to get off my chest the fact that they're not delivering people's mail and packages, and they're still blaming the snowstorm from the 27th. Oh. Tell me why they're not doing it. Yeah, tell us a death. Why they're not delivering?

I mean, it's the, it's the, they're blaming the weather, and I understand the weather was bad, but there's people who have medication, you know, court documents, all types of stuff, and they're just not, they're not doing it. They're not giving overtime. It's just, it's a mess. Well, can I ask you a question, Tracy? I'm just playing white devil's advocate here. The weather was bad.

Okay. No, it was. So, why can't have a reasonable? But now, but now the, the, I mean, For the most part, most of it has cleared up. Like, you can walk, you can deliver mail. So what you're trying to say? They don't want to pay overtime, so they don't want to catch up on all the packages that they miss them days?

Exactly. Yes. They're not giving out overtime so people can process the packages so people can get their mail and their packages, their medication, whatever else they have to get. And I just think, you know, it's ridiculous. Well, you buried the lead, Tracy. You're with that overtime. Now, I ain't mad at you.

Yeah, exactly. Well, I'm sorry, Tracy. You know, I just had to get that off my chest because I'm not to go to work now and deal with it. What cities, Tracy? What state? I'm just curious. What state? New York. Queen. Oh, Queen. You ever got chased by dog? I'm just curious. I asked every male man.

And just being Rihanna from like 9 a.m. at like 3 a.m., right? But in the vlog, there's a bit of her in the studio, which we've been hearing her say she's working on music, the music is coming, but of course, everybody went crazy to just actually see her in the studio working on the music. So,

making sure we mention that here because Rihanna's actually coming with some music. Yeah, but we don't know that. Because it could be from the Black Panther soundtrack again, like she did a couple years ago. She said... She did the Smurf movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And y'all ain't care about that song like that. No. Y'all ain't care about that record like that.

Rihanna's been saying for some time, though, that the music is coming. She's just, like, reworking it. She wants to be happy with it. When she comes back, she wants to make sure she sang what she wants to say. I think that this is it because in the vlog, she doesn't say much, but she says, yesterday's price is not today's price, and that's what the new music is going to give, and I believe that. What, NB.

Okay. It could be for a sound track again. So she gave a little statement line. Yeah, it's. Come on. Please don't ruin our day. All right. Wait, wait, wait.

So you said that's what I believe the new music is going to be, or that's what she said. She didn't say that's what it was going to be, but she's in the studio. And she says, yesterday's price is not today's price. So she's feeling good about whatever she's making. Oh, that's all she said was yesterday's price. It was not the show. I'm just excited to see Rihanna in the studio, y'all. It was just, it made me happy.

I'm sorry. Yesterday's price is not today's price. Can't nobody afford Rihanna right now. She's a goddamn billionaire. Okay. Talk to her nicely, period. Now, in other news, yesterday it was announced that Meg the Stalian will debut on Broadway. Dope.

The internet turned on him.

If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you.

Please search for it. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped.

Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles.

I'm Inelik Lamumba. It's 1960s. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. had both been assassinated, and Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almermata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest.

It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people were dying. The murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind.

Listen to the A building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you do in the headlines? Don't explain what's happening inside of you. I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore, loss that changes you purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, fake when it's complicated.

Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies. is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended.

A verdict? A villain. A nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, doubt the case of Lucy Lettby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world.

decided who Lucy Lettby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Lettby on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, so Harold Zittler.

Harold. She's Harold. She's stepping into the role of Nightclub Impressiaro. I don't know how you say that word. Harold Zittler. It's a part originated by the Tony winner, Danny Burstein. I'm really confused now because it said boy George used to play him, so I really don't know what the hell going on now.

But it is new. It's new and it's fresh. They're going to let a woman do it now. We should just move on. I think it's going to be a woman that actually takes over because they're not going to do the man. It sounds so crazy. It's going to be the woman. I don't know what Jess Alarice is talking about right now.

He let the woman step that role. I just want to know if the role is, is the role a man. So what they're saying is the Mulan Rouge is based off of a nightclub. and he's the owner of the club in the play. So she's going to be playing the owner of the club and it's usually played by man. And there have been formerly people who've played it that were also a part of Rupas drag race.

So I think this is a non-gender identifying role and she's stepping into it. Are the role has just been changed and it's just a woman. It's been changed and now she's going to play it. Because it's showing that a woman can be also an owner of the club, not a man, not like an Uncle Clifford. I don't know what's actually.

talking about Jess because when you start talking about women and men, I get scared. I don't know what the hell you are. I would try to move on for a while. Well, look, all right. Speaking of music, I mean, because Meg Dick drops on your music today with juvenile, but speaking of music, we're going to move on because Little Yadi has sparked a music conversation online because he's saying that the music from back in the day is, the originating music of hip-hop is trash.

Let's take a listen. Why I did my research, if it was 2016, I knew it was someone's bull-in the 90s, I'd be like, you know, y' y'all f***ing tripping. It was a lot of weak-ass going on that day. I always think about the first song. Hip hop, a hip. Rappers to the light. You know what I'm saying?

And I'd be thinking like, damn, bro, y'all be really acting like. Like, we were the only n-h-h-h-hs saying something didn't make no sense. Come on, brother, that's a leak of it. I agree with you. I do think that there was more intention probably, right? You had a DMX and you had a Buster Rooms and you had a Tupark and you had all these. Tri-Call quest. Well, you know what I will say, I think that hip-hop lost.

it's like if you was from the west you sounded like it. If you was from the north you sounded like it. Yeah, I think the region, I feel like the internet removed. I guess distinctiveness. I think he's right, but DMX already said that. Remember he was like, what the F is a hibbit? Like he said that already. I mean, I agree it was the origin of rap. Everything evolves, right? So if you look at the

evolution of your television, the evolution of your cell phone when you look back at it, you're like, yeah, that cell phone was trash. The new one has all these different things. The first television was only black and white. You could go back and say it was trash, but it was the origin to what you have now. Now I'm not going to lie to Sugar Hill gang hip hopper, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, and you don't stop rocking to the bang, bang,

bug to the big, to the buggy the beat. Right. That is kind of crazy if you listen to a book, right? You'd be like, what the hell they say? Yeah, but in 1979, it was fire. That's right, it was fire. In 1979, it was fire.

Yeah, but I'm sure it wasn't fired to everybody because everybody, like everything. It was fired to everybody. It was something new. It was right. No, no, no, no, just is right. I mean, listen, all music is subjective. Correct. So I'm sure that there was, there was, by the way, I know our parents,

I was born in 78, but our parents didn't like early hip hop. They thought it was a bunch of noise. Right, right. So, like, what do we talk about? Like, if you grew up on the James Brown and the Motown era and all of that, when they was hearing, my dad was like, what the hell is that? Turn that off. And then you know what they used to say, turn off that hippity hip-hippity hip-hop. That hippity hip-hop. Yep.

So, but, I mean, rappers delight is dope. I don't, even what he said about 90s rappers, yeah, every 90s rapper wasn't dope, but I would tell Lil Yadi that if you are, if you got to compare yourself to what was going on in the 70s and saying, you know, that wasn't hot, your style hasn't evolved

in the way shape, or form. Yes. Did y'all hear Yadi do freestyle? No. We have it? No. I told you to pull it. Yeah, we don't have it.

I'm sorry, y'all. Damn. Is it fire? No. No. The thing I would say to little Yadi, after you make a statement like that, and then you go to L.A. Leakers to do a freestyle,

you got to make sure them bars, right? Yes, man. You got to make sure them bars right because you're just opening yourself up to more scrutiny. That's right. Because don't know, Eric. Don't know, Eric, think that freestyle you did on Leakas was good. That was going to so viral yesterday because of his statement.

I got to listen. Damn, we got to get it, yo. No, that. We got that style. I'm sorry. We should have had it. I should have had it. Yeah.

All right. Anyway, thank you. That's the latest with Laura. And you can go from the 80s and 90s and 2000 and talk about emcees that get busy for KRS 1 to K-R-S-1 to K-D-G-G-D-G-G-D-Mex. But you had your whack rappers too, though. Yeah, you know. There was some rappers that got busy, the lyricists that got busy.

Oh, no, that was the goal's in there for us. Yes. Yes, 100%. All right. When we come back, we got front page news, and then attorney Benjamin Crumble will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ NV. Jess. Alarie. Sholomey and the guy we are to Breakfast Club. Let's get back at some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. NVAGESHallameen. How y'all doing this morning?

Good morning. Good morning. So we start this hour with one of the biggest media shakeups in decades, a merger fight that could change. Who controls some of the country's most powerful news. and entertainment brands. So Netflix has officially walked away from its bid for Warner Brothers Discovery, saying Paramount's higher offer no longer made financial sense.

So that clears the way for Paramount. It's roughly $110 billion bid. That's about a $31 per share. Now, if approved, the deal would combine CBS, Paramount Pictures, Nickelonian, MTV, Paramount Plus, with all of Warner Brothers Discovery, including HBO, Max, Warner Brothers Studios, TNT, Discovery Channel and CNN. CNN is part of the package. Under Netflix's earlier deal,

it would have been spun off, but under Paramount, it will sit now alongside CBS if that merger does go through. So to put that, so that would put major broadcast networks, cable news operations, film studios, streaming platforms under one roof,

raising immediate regulatory and political questions. And this morning, there's already some political backlash beyond what's just happening with that merger. this week President Trump demanded that Netflix remove board member Susan Rice after comments she made on a podcast suggesting companies that bent the need to Trump could face consequences once Democrats regained power. Let's listen to some of her comments. When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, I agree with you, Preet. It is not, it's not going to end well for them.

For those that decided, you know, that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I've, would underscore is very short-term self-interest and take a need to Trump. I think they're now starting to realize, wait a minute, you know, this is not popular. Trump is not popular. If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules and say, oh, never mind, we'll forgive you for all the people you've fired, all the policies and principles you've violated, all, you know, the laws you've skirted, I think they've got another thing coming. and we're not going to play by the old set of rules when these guys are playing by a very different set of rules.

We're going to play by the law. We're not going to violate the law the way they do, but we're not going to be suckers. Oh, I know that made him, man. Yeah, she's right, but she's acting like their long game isn't forever. Like, their long game is, you know, to not relinquish this power. Their long game is to get rid of democracy, you know, all together and replace it with authoritarian rule.

Yeah, she says that the Democrats seem to, you know, play the long game instead of, you know, kind of like the short game or whatever they're playing. She did say that in that podcast interview as well. Trump responded by saying Netflix should fire her or pay the consequences. Netflix co-CEO Ted Tarandos, he pushed back calling this a business deal, not a political one, and saying regulators, not politicians, will decide the outcome. Meanwhile, the involvement to, which is also raising questions of the Ellison family who backed Paramount, they have long-standing ties to Trump and several of his allies.

That's adding another layer of scrutiny with critics warning that this deal could reshape the media landscape as we know it. So, wait, Netflix CEOs said that they wasn't going to take action against Susan Rice, right? He called it a, this is a business deal, not a political deal. So he said that regulators will decide the outcome, not politicians. And FCC is supposed to be against this type of media consolidation. Merger. It's almost like Monopoly they're saying. It is exactly like monopoly.

So if you think CBS is Fox News like, boy, they're about to get rid of every liberal on CNN. Yeah, very, very different times we're living in right now. And lastly, we've been talking about this earlier this week. So what was supposed to be one of the best parts of winter? It took a serious turn this week and ended with someone in handcuffs. So police arrested a 27-year-old content creator, Guzmane Cooley-Bali. known online as the diaper man at his home in the Bronx early yesterday morning. Lock him up.

Shut. You already locked up. But for the name? For the name? Yeah, I don't even know who it is, but it sounds like he did something stupid. The diaper man. The diaper man. That's what he is called online.

So he was initially charged with felony assault after officers were hit with snowballs during Monday's Blizzard in Washington Square Park. But the district attorney, they dropped the most serious charge. So no felony charge. That's gone. the prosecutors, because they said after reviewing the social media video, reviewing body camera footage, they could not prove that an officer suffered a physical injury directly hit, that was directly hit by, that was caused by the 27-year-old man.

So now he faces a misdemeanor of obstructing government administration and a violation for harassment. He was released on the same day under supervised release, and he is no longer in custody. But police say that he was recently arrested on a robbery charge. but his family says that that was a prank. Apparently he's a big prankster online. So they say that is not real. But police say they are still looking for three other suspects tied to that snowball fight. Why do they call him the diaper man?

I do not know. I don't think I want to know you. Nope, me neither. They said the police did a depressed conference yesterday. They said they believed that they were putting snow around rocks and throwing rocks at the police officers. That's what they were saying. I mean, if they were doing that, that's disrespectful. But I mean, based off the story that we're hearing and what we saw in the

video. It just looked like they were just throwing snowballs. The police said it just threw snowballs back. I heard some of the police officers because they got cut and they was bruised. It was like ice and rock. You know what I mean? They said two went to the hospital for minor cuts and bruises, just.

Damn. It turned, a fun day, turned into something else. So we'll see what happens with the other two. It escalated really quickly. But that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at Mimi Brown. For more stories, follow the Black Information Network or visit BIN News. Thank you, Mimi.

All right. When we come back, Attorney Benjamin Crump will be joining us. He has a new book called Worst Than a Lie and we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Sholomane the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Attorney Benjamin Crump. Welcome, brother. How are you feeling? Good morning. Good morning. How are you

King? How are you feeling? Good to see you, man. Hey. Man, happy to catch you out during Black History, Mike. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I feel you've been keeping more of a low profile lately, brother crump? You know, I've worked on this novel, and I was really trying to inspire the next generation of civil rights, lawyers, social justice warriors, because it has to always be building for the future.

We're going to pass this torch, and we've got to make sure the next generation go even further than us. And so, man, I've been working my butt off. I just ain't been in the public so much. Is there a reason for that? No, it's just that. We got the enemy for How to Sue the Klan That was in the media

We've been fighting on these environmental Racism cases I'm battling in Altadena The wildfires while everybody moved on Those black people are still this place Still homeless and we're still fighting the whole The company accountable and the county Because they gave the evacuation notices

To the people on the east side The more affluent white people and then the black people got their evacuation notices late and 19 black people died and nobody's talking about it and if we're not careful, Charles Mann, Altadena, which was the predominantly black historic section of Los Angeles

would become California's Katrina and that's what we cannot afford for black people to lose their land, their generational wealth and we sometimes with this administration, we forget the trouble. I mean, just the craziness they're doing. They didn't even allow FEMA to come in and build the infrastructure because this president was opposed to California and its democratic leadership. So they said, we're not going to help them.

So now we're having to hold the state and the county and the city of Los Angeles accountable to do infrastructure so the black people if it would have took a year, year and a half to get back in your home, that's going to take two years, two years and a half. Can you imagine? Wow.

You know, can you imagine, Shaillamaine? Yeah, just one day you minding your business and then a fire comes from the transformer and just, in a matter of minutes, burn everything.

Everything you had is gone. Your children are, not being able to go to school. Your cars were burnt so you can't go to work. And then the FEMA, the emergency management system that was built for this exact moment. Then says,

for political reasons, we're not going to do anything. Please, I'm glad to know that you on that case, man. Mimi Brown who does our front page news, she did a whole special on Altadina call from Altadina with love. And she talks about that a lot, and the people she talked to talk about that a lot. And people call up here all the time, just looking

for help and assistance. And feel like they can't get it and people aren't remember what happened. What about the insurance companies? Well, we're suing the hell out on, Charlemagne. So, however to know that we, if they ain't got nobody at least advocating, call us and we'll keep fighting. The insurance companies, you know,

Governor Newsom, the Attorney General Rendem, they did a mortgage moratorium for a year and then we got to extend it another year because think about it, NVIA and just, you're paying a mortgage on a house that you can't even live in. Right. I mean, and a lot of people just ain't doing it

And so you got the The disaster capitalists The opportunities because you know The Olympics coming to L.A. They got World Cup coming. Man, they've been trying to buy out these black people land Forever anyway And now with this tragedy, they're taking an opportunity To throw pennies on the dollar

And still our land, still our generational wealth. And so the insurance companies you know, have been doing what they do. I believe all of them, state farm, all state, everybody, they try to get your premiums, no matter how many times you pay, the first time you make a claim, they come up with every single reason to say,

well, we're not going to deny this claim, or we don't think this land is that valuable, Lauren and Shaillamay, because it's in a black neighborhood. Yeah, but once they get all black people out, then you didn't bring the white people land out. land increase triple. Yeah.

Ten times. Yeah. With the Olympics, man, they're going to be building condos, high-rising, and this is prime land. Los Angeles already is what they said, five times more than any of the property in America, price-wise. And so this is going to go up even more. There's so many things that don't make the media Charlemagne that we work on and fight on, you know, banking while black. And right now, all the black women who have been fired

and terminated because this attack on DEI and diversity equity inclusion, we're suing all these corporations for these black people who are losing their jobs with no rhyme or reason. Just that, you know, this administration gave us an excuse now

that we don't have to tolerate you all. I mean, and it is funny. It's funny as a test figure and I always laughed. When we were representing lower people at the corporation and they brought discrimination claims

you will have these black people sitting at the table helping to defend the corporation's actions justifications to fire them but now you got a lot of those people calling me and I'm like wow ain't this interesting the tables have turned now is you on this side

while you will help and protect them so it just says to us especially during black history month the future of black people won't be determined by how white people treat us. The future of black people won't be determined how white people support us. The future of black people won't be determined how white people invest in us, but the future of black people will be determined how we treat each other. The future of black people will be how we support each other.

The future of black people, Charlemagne, would be how we invest in. in each other. And that's the God's honest truth. When you really think about it, man, we need to be supporting black businesses, black lawyers, black doctors, black restaurants, black dry cleaners, black mechanics, black insurance.

I mean, we got to every week have dinner or at least every month, have dinner, lunch with our colleagues and so forth. And we got to hold each other accountable. But like, Jeff, you know, the 50% of your money, at least 40% go to black businesses, okay well who let's talk about it

and be I try to be honest with myself God bless me immensely and I'm like I don't want to be a hypocrite I want to be true and I got to look in the mirror first and foremost I hold myself accountable and so I say to myself when I really think about it

our Asian sisters and brothers their dollar in their community stays in their community 21 days before it leaves our Jewish sisters and brothers their dollar stays in their community 17 days before it leaves their community.

Black Americans, our dollar stay in our community 17 minutes before it leaves our community. And it's sad, y'all, I mean, because I love how Libby Armstrong out of Minneapolis and Jamal Bryant when we boycotted Target and those things, because it's such a philosophical decision. It's a mind.

mindset. They say, I'm going to be intentional about supporting black businesses. And you've got to be intentional. And with the internet, we can find black businesses. They say, no, no, I'm going to find a black dentist. I'm going to find a black, you know, insurance agent. And it's intentional because now we're building a strong black economic base and we can then tell this administration that hey like New Jack City, cash money brothers are a self-contained unit. We will be okay

with or without you. We don't need you to save us. When you talk about that title worse than a lie, right? Like what in your view is actually worse than lying? And do you think America understands how often that shows up in the courtroom? I certainly think they don't.

My grandmother who helped raise me my mom worked two jobs to raise me and my two little brothers. So oftentimes, we stay with my grandmother. And, you know, black grandmother's brilliant. My grandmother, I think, was the wisest person I ever met in the world. And I remember her saying, Charleney on occasion, what's worse than a lie?

To tell the truth and have nobody believe you. Lord of that. I mean, and that's, and then in this book, it really goes so much deeper when you are seeing where Hollis, who's been shot 10 times survived. and now he's charged with four counts of attempted murder. It's really life-inventing art when you think about what's going on in Minneapolis with ice and stuff. But to answer your question directly, Charlemagne, man, I don't think many people understand how many sisters and brothers have to go in courtrooms all across America every day and lie on themselves.

and accept trumped up felony convictions and trumped up felony plea agreements because they understand that the alternative of going to trial were for a jury of peers that have nothing in common with them

the likelihood that they would be convicted and sentenced for decades and have to be wrongfully convicted for a crime they didn't even commit. That's worse than a lie. And it happens every day, man. Every day. How do you deal with, stepping from

the side from the book for a second, but how do you deal with that, right? Because I feel like even on social media now, people are lying more and more and more. But the problem with the lying is I feel like journalists, newscasters, papers, they're taking what these people

are saying and making it factual. So now when people hear it, they think they're hearing it from Channel 4, but it's really a lie that they heard online. How do you deal with that when you go into those courtroom? Oh, it's getting so much worse. Already, you have two battles when you're representing

people of color, especially in America. Because there's a credibility factor. Every time we're fighting the police, or if we're fighting these large banks over banking while black discrimination cases, or we're fighting these corporations like Elon Musk and them about poisoning

in our community with these Davis centers, there's this credibility. gap where they want to believe what white people say over black people. And the worst part about it, envy, is our people want to believe it too. Our people are so quick to attack one another. I mean, every day I pray to God and say, God, help me love our people more than they hate themselves. You know, I really believe because when you've been blessed, you've got to try to do better to help other people.

And you've got to even make allowances for their criticisms too. because slavery, I mean, they have such a psychological effect on our people. And we got so many haters out there on us. When we got so much, we're fighting against white people. I don't care what black people do. Try to get them some grace, you know. And so the line is so real now with social media. I mean, it's been proliferated a hundred times than what we were used to before social media.

But that's why in the novel, you know, early on, Bo Lee Cooper realizes while he's fighting the Chicago machine and stuff to be the broken system, he's going to need more than just the truth. What we're going to need is our whole community being galvanized

with our resources, with our brilliance, with our connections that come together just to get justice. And it's never about one person. That's the other thing I tried to emphasize in the book. It's always a team effort. The fact that I was intentional about having returning citizens,

brothers who were convicted of drug dealing and, you know, being streetwise and so forth. It was like Malcolm X said, some of our most brilliant minds in America are locked up in five-by-seven sales, never given the opportunity to expose their intelligence and so forth. So in this new series, I wanted to give those brothers opportunity to say, what would it be like if they got to expose themselves using their street smarts and their intellect and brilliance to help solve cases? And so that's how you try to overcome the truth,

but it's hard, man. What was the old saying? A lie goes around the world. Around the world why the truth is still putting on the shoe. Exactly. I saw the press conference you did about YouTube and the targeting of people, like, falsely on YouTube and celebrities you go together.

And it's foreign people, Lauren, who's doing it. I mean, you got these foreign actors in country like India and career and so forth, coming up with accounts. That's why we're looking at Google and YouTube and them saying, well, you all are paying them even though it's been shown to be false with Judge Faith and Judge Mathis. I mean, all these lies. Steve Margie Harvey, Stevie Wonder. I mean, just putting out lies.

And our people believe it so quickly. suggest I don't know why it is we are so prone to believe negative versus positive because you want to you want to think the worst of people I feel like Mr. Crump that's why I think you got a low profile I think you got overwhelmed by all the negativity because you are one of the people that's really out here on the front lines helping our people but for whatever reason people wanted to villainize you especially a lot of our own yeah and you know it's it's so interesting Charlemagne because man, the more good you try to do, God just keep blessing you.

So I don't even think about any negativity of criticism. T.S. Lawrence, the British soldier known as Lawrence of Arabia, he said something so profound. He said the most dangerous person in the world is the person who dreams with their eyes open. They're so focused on their objective that they have very little time to focus on any other distractions. That's how I run my life. We're now in 21 cities. We have 60

over 60, over 60, our member staff, 200 lawyers working with us. And I'm just focused on my mission in life that God put on my calling. I can't worry about what you're saying, man. We're too busy trying to help liberate black people. I'm too busy

now trying to do stuff globally with Africa and so forth because if we learned anything from this administration is not enough to think nationally. We've really got to think globally in the African diaspora, like Marcus Garvin said, that's what's going to save our people. Does it ever get overwhelming for you being that you are to go to, you know, civil rights

attorney, like when people think, and especially this generation in life, somebody called Ben Crump. Does it ever get overwhelming for you? You know, I try to always thank God and be humble, never get the big head, you know, Black America's Attorney General, I say, well, I'm proud that people would think that of me, but what I also know Charlemagne, it can never be about one person.

We can't have one leader because they'll take them out and then where will we be? So I'm all about community and building the bench. We got to keep I'm so happy that Tess is in law school. I'm so happy that other people are going to law school because we need, like

there are a good marchion saying, we need an army of civil rights lawyers to be able to deal with all their injustices we have. And so I try never ever to say, oh, woe is me. Because, you know, Charlemagne, if I did not choose to go take on these big fights, then I wouldn't have to worry about people calling me. But I choose because I say, God bless me and shame on me. If I don't use the influence that God gave me to go try to help others.

And that's what it was Jamie Fox and I, Oh, at Herribella Fonte. Herabelle Fonte said, what good is having influence if you don't use it when it matters most? And I worry so much about other sisters and brothers who got the influence, who just stay silent, man. I'm like, you got all this money, all this power. You see what's happening to our people, and you ain't going to say nothing? I mean, and again, I shot you out to brother. Shalameh, I love how you use your platform to speak truth for power.

Thank you, brother. And we all got to do it, y'all, because God is watching. And one day he's going to say, well, what did you do with the blessings I bestowed upon you? What did you do with the influence? Did you just use it for yourself? Or did you try to help others? If Boosie reached out to you, Boosey said he was going to reach out to you. He did.

What happened with Boosie case? I know that Boosey said Louisiana is kicking his ass, kicking his butt. Well, you know, I do think there are times when people try to use their authority to come out. people who Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts,

I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected.

The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you.

Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles.

I'm Mennelick Lamouba. It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. had both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia at Martin's Al-Mermata, Moore House College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent.

figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior, and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A building on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you do in the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation.

Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore, loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, fake when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast.

or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, special agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea

the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes

opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. in our community who have high profiles and they do it intentionally and so I know they did it with NBA Young Boy we were able to get him a bail

and that was Louisiana I think they're doing it with Bootser I think they do it to a lot of us Envy so in short order we've broke down Boots' case we think he's going to be fine I work with great lawyers in Louisiana like Attorney James

Williams Tess and Sue Ann Roberts and help me on that case. And it was really one of those things just doing the legal research and so forth saying this is where I believe their bark is worse than their bite. And so I said if they come for you, we'll have the community ready.

And that's why it's good to work with other lawyers around the country. So it ain't just Ben Crump. But when you call Ben Crump, he's calling his network of attorney saying, hey, how do we help Bootsie? How do we help? You know, I'm going to look at Todd Doe

He believes in a lot. They are wrongfully convicted in California. So we're going to look at those cases because that's what we have to do, Envy. We have to be the answer to bail for our people. And I smile when you say, Booza, because just call our office. When you put it on social media, I got 100 calls. Bruce is trying to get you, Crump. Do you need to reach out of the book?

Has the Trump administration targeted you in any way? I'm sure I'm on some enemy list, but I try not to think about it because, you know, I have the honor of representing the family of Malcolm X, you know, and this was 61 years ago. They were targeting our people, and I don't think nothing has changed with the CIA or the FBI. I tell them, I think you and me both on this enemies list, brother. Oh, I believe that. So, you know, come with May. We know who we are, whose we are, and I refuse to be afraid. I tell my security and everybody, y'all, I refuse to let them make us live in fear, standing up fighting for our children's future.

And, you know, God has ordered our steps and whatever happens, I want my daughter. I want our children to know we believed in them so much. We were willing to fight for them, sacrifice for them. And if need be, die for our children, man. I shouldn't really got to see that black people believe in black liberation. And just like, and I mean this from the heart, just like they are unapologetic in their white supremac beliefs, we have to be unapologetic defenders of black life, black liberty, and black culture. I mean, now more than ever, y'all, they stand it with their chest, how they think we're inferior.

We got to say, if I chest, not. We think black is the greatest thing And we don't care And we got to say it a hundred times over Like Jesse Jackson said You know we got to talk about I am somebody Because everybody in society

Try to tell little black boys and girls You ain't nobody Now what did Jesse, you mentioned Jesse Jackson Rest in peace Jesse Jackson What did Jesse Jackson mean to you? Man you know For the greater part of my life I'm in the 50s

You know Jesse was The standard bear for civil rights that we know. And the thing I remember, Envy, to be specific, I remember, you know, you fight the campaigns, you get people who show up for the cameras, and then

when the cameras go, you see people showing up on a consistent base. Jesse, even the old age, was still trying to show up, and I have to salute that. I never forget we were, and I won't call the corporation, but we were representing agents of a certain

insurance company where they were brand line and the black agents where they could never make as much as the young white boys and girls who was 20 years their junior and we were in federal court in Chicago and you know I believe like they're good we got a fight in the court of public

opinion in the court of law and one of the state, one of the agents was Jesse Jackson's insurance agent who was one of the class action representatives so I asked Reverend Jackson to come to court and we were in court envy and we were there for about

four or five hours at this federal hearing and the judge was really giving it to me man and my team. I mean he was coming out of us left and right and you're like man this ain't going to go well for us and so forth and you know you had a defeat his mentality starting to set in a little bit

and we went on break man Reverend Jackson got me in the corner and he said he said Attorney Crump man you got to remember you don't drown because the water is deep. He said you drown because you stop kicking.

He said, our people can never see our leaders or people who they believe in stop kicking. He said, you just always got to keep kicking, man. He said, you keep kicking.

You will make it to the shore. You keep kicking. You are overcome, but you just got to keep kicking. I don't care what the odds or I don't care how the cars are stacked against you. You just keep kicking.

And I was like, wow, you know, all right, Jess, let's go. And as fate will have it, man, we went back in court for another hour. So, and the judge, even though he berated us and talked down to us, like Thurgood Marshall got talked down to, and that's part of it. You know, you got to understand that the system really doesn't think black people supposed to get equal justice. Every bit of justice we get, every ounce we get, we got to fight for it. we've been back in that courtroom

and the judge denied their motion to dismiss and I said, man, what a legacy to the judge said we just, right now more than ever in this era, black people we just got to keep kicking. Thank you so much. Thank you for all the word. Absolutely.

Appreciate you so much. And you always answer the phone. I'm just seeing her thinking like you've been doing a lot of things but you always answer the phone for us. That's right. Lauren, and I appreciate the cause when we're trying to use our platforms

to help our people and tell our stories. So you keep doing what you do, All right. Attorney Benjamin Krupp. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren becomes a straight back. Tilla! Lady! She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So there have been reports that Pink is separating from her husband Carrie Hart of like over 20 years. And the reports were going everywhere.

Yesterday, Pink got online and she addressed it like nobody else could. Let's take a listen. Hi, everybody. So I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know. Thank you, People magazine. Thank you, S. Weekly. Thank you for letting me know.

I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children my 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware? Or do you want to talk about some real news? Do you want to talk about the Epstein files? Do you want to talk about systemic racism or misogyny in sports or how classy the women's hockey team is? Or how eight of the 12 medals won in the Olympics this year for the U.S. were won by women? Or do you maybe want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock and Roll Motherfucking Hall of Fame? Do you want to talk about my accomplishments or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise? So fake news, not true.

I hate that term. Trash news, you can do better. Hey, love me. Some pink. Where does People Magazine even get something like that? Crazy. That's crazy. It's sourced information.

So I don't know the answer to be directly. No, you know what's crazy is? Like, it's, okay, so yes, they have these sources. They run the story. But the fact that, like, you trust People magazine. So so many outlets picked it up. I've seen it on shows yesterday because it's pink. Right.

And then she comes, imagine she never said any of this. Like, because some people don't address this stuff. We would just be thinking. Imagine her kids in school. Right. Sorry about your mom and dad. Right. You know what I mean?

That's foul. That's wild, y'all. And people's supposed to be reputable. God damn right. I mean, I'm, mate, yes, if she feels like this damage is her brain and her reputation and stuff like that. Yeah. Like, yeah.

Traminty to kids. Right. Traumatize the kids. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. But, I mean, they've updated it with, you know, her statement. But the story's still there.

So I don't know. even know how you... I'm looking at it right now. Pink separates from Carrie Hart for second time after 20 years. And then it says the Grammy winner then posted a video on Instagram. And this is what I hate because whoever wrote this story, they just care about the clicks at this book. Clearly didn't even, yeah.

Because I would have took the story now. That's the scariest thing for breaking the story. It's like for it to be like completely like, uh-uh. But she got with them. She said what she needs to say. Now speaking... What is journalism, man? It's a bit different right now.

Speaking of people, and dating in the relationship. So Young Miami was talking to Up Rocks yesterday and she's pushing all the new music that she has out and she's talking about what her dating wants are right now. Let's take a listen. What is your status of love right now? I'm just, you know, I'm just living.

Okay, just living life, experiences. Just having fun. Do you have a list of things you look for? First of all, he got to have a coin. Thank you. A provider, I need someone that's, you know, God-fearing it. that's religion and believe in God. Someone at least.

Any man that leads. What is the minimum net worth that he has to have? I won't like a man that at least got like $100 million. Man, young Miami. Come on, man. You know I love you, but you got to sit your ass down. But I mean, she was dating and ditty before this show. She's used to say.

Lauren. He come home, he's not going to have $100 million. Then what you're saying? If she's waiting for him. I mean, it's aspirational, right? No, it's not aspirational. A hundred million? You're making your pickings really slim with that number.

but also a person does not need a hundred million dollars to be able to provide for you do you know how much a hundred million dollars is I don't think people understand how much it's talking like we we we show how how little we know about money when we just say things like that you know there are only there only 10,000 people in America who are considered a hundred million is like you know how small of a number that is yeah well he said it's only going to be about 10 people in the DM so the crazy thing about it is she's basically love off of finances, off of money, or for providing, a sped a basic love

off of somebody who really cares about her. That money could come and go. Yeah, that's right. You know what? Yeah, that's right. Look, man, well, I tell you what? Bill Gates, a pride, holler. You know what I'm saying? That's right. A person who needs $100,000 a month to provide for you. Like, I saw the other girl talking about,

she was on Earnier League saying she need $50,000 a month. Yeah, I should Diaz. Yeah, he should be yes. Like, what is a woman spending $50,000 a month on? That's $600,000 a year. Like, what is your upkeep that, you're spending 50 grand a month. That's wild. Aisha Dia said that.

And didn't Bow Wow, comment and said it was, he alleged it was free for him on the homies. But this is what I'm saying, like Shalda said, people just be talking. And I don't know how Isha Diaz, but when you say stuff like that,

when you say stuff like that and somebody come out and they didn't pay $50,000 to hit you or date you, but you got to be ready for that. But what is it? But, okay, so we talk about manifestation, right? So maybe $100 million.

isn't like that's not going to happen but you're just saying that she wants someone who can take care of her and who comes financially ready but a lot of it is that's her that's her young my name and me saw she put in somebody has a lot of bread like what do you need for $50,000 a month that's insane and what like I'm

with context is it just her or are they saying the household bills the kids and this that end but 50,000 that's a lot of money do you do like what do you do you know what because a nigger can leave any day and then what? You want to apply what filling out applications for $50,000 niggas like that's what you doing

you're 100% right like what are you doing you know what it is too envy man if you've never had to spend that kind of money you don't even know what that means when you say it crazy thousand dollars a month on what I would love for you I need to see the line items

I should be asked like what are the line what are you spending 50 grand a month on you have you have to show me and you know as far as people having a hundred million dollars like come on yeah like I said it's like 10,000 people in America who are considered a hundred millionaires like cut it out

and I love Young Miami by the way Absolutely I'm not a query assistant She knows what she's doing She's getting it going because the music is out now She knows exactly what she's doing Of course But speaking of music I know last latest

We didn't have that Yadi freestyle But we went and grabbed it So him and all the Concrete Boys crew Where they pulled up the Power 106 studios With Justin credible And did the freestyle thing And yeah little Yadi He did something

Let's hear it listen. Let's do it, Bob. 15, what's I'm moving like a Southern Cracker? Folks are in minding like I'm the one going against the pastor. I get you on some clicks, but what's the deal with is you're after? Cups, super dark just like my last name castor. I ain't never lied. I spoke the truth.

Let's you don't absent. I can tell you're faking all the way down from your accent. Just kill the kids. I'm too convinced it was an accident because any look in knew with a liquor sense I'm not to try this shit. Hip hop. A hip hop. A hip hip hip hip hip hop.

Yeah, don't stop. Rockin to the bang, bang, bang, bang. And rock it to the booby-B. Ain't no way. Basically. Ain't no way. Yeah, that's not no concrete. That's quicksand, because I feel like I'm sinking lower and lower.

Like, what? Listening to him. Like, God, hang. You can't make the statements you make about hip-hop and then come with that. That is wild to me. Like, what are you trying to prove that you, like, if you make the statement that there was a bunch of garbage rappers in the 90s and rappers, the light was garbage, are you just rapping like that to prove? See, I'm garbage, too.

Yeah, yeah. What are you, I don't get what you doing. But isn't the conversation about the generations and it's like, this generation hated this and they shouldn't, that whole. That's right there was garbage in any generation. That's wild. I want to hear that. Charlotte, you all wanted this morning. Okay, I love the energy.

There's generations out there, there's mad generations listening to all agreeing that that was garbage there's a father and son in the car right now, a mother and daughter in the car right now. She's 17, he's 47. They're like, God, damn, what was that the sound? What the hell? Is it something wrong with the radio? What? That's wild to me, yo.

All right. Well, I just wanted to mention, we don't have time to play it, I guess, but the scary movie six trailer dropped yesterday. Marlon Wands was up here talking about what might happen, what might not happen. Kaisenai does make a little intro cameo in the trailer, but it dropped yesterday.

It leaked, and then Marlon Wans went to the movies to see it because it's a commercial for another scary movie. So everybody's excited to see that, but we don't have time to play. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be fire. It literally crosses every line. Did Kai have dreds in the trailer?

No, his hair was cut in the trailer But they aren't on like a stream thing So you could tell it was a while back It's like a stream set up Okay All right, well that is the latest with Lauren Thank you Lauren No problem

Thanks, Charlemagne. Mm-hmm. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-105-1. Now, this conversation comes from Young Miami and Aisha Diaz. And both of them saying, you know, Young Miami says she wants somebody

with a net worth of $100 million. Aisha says that somebody should make at least $45,000 to $50,000 a month to make sure she's okay. What do you expect on a monthly basis from financially? From him? Yeah.

Honestly, I'm spoiled. What is, you say you're spoiled. What does that mean? Spoil means I need you to be able to keep up with my lifestyle if you want to be with me. What does that mean? Financially, what does that mean? What does that mean? What does that mean?

What does that mean? Numbers? Yes. Yes. Yeah. $45,000. So you need $50,000 a month. So the question, $800,000,000.

What was the question? What did you say? I basically, he was saying it. I piggyback off of what you said. Yo, they basically dating off a financial status. You know what I'm saying? That ain't even a way. That's not a way to find love.

Two, what do you bring the table? What do you bring to the table? And I know that's cliche too, because that's like the topic of all podcasts when it comes to relationships and love and stuff. But like, what do you do? What can you buy? What are you going to buy?

What are your expenses that I have to be able to... So wait, make $50,000 a month to take care of you. I'm not even talking about Young Miami. Yeah. She is even in a different status than it's Aisha girl. Because she's her own rapper. She just was dating ditty. So I understand her.

But do you expect to find love when what you're looking for is finances? No. That's the question. Do you expect to find love when somebody has to have $100 million in that world? When they have to make up to $50,000? That means you don't even love me for me. I could be ugly. I could be, it don't matter.

As long as I got this bread, we good. Some people live like that, though. That's weird, though. Some people would rather have a lifestyle than love. But they don't last, though. And that's the thing they don't last. 800-585-105-1. What are your thoughts?

And also, Aisha Diaz was doing an interview with EYL and Ian Dunlap. And she was talking about she needs a gentleman to make at least $45,000 to $50,000 to supply her lifestyle. Let's listen. What do you expect on a monthly basis for him financially? From him? Yeah. Honestly, I'm spoiled. What is, you say you're sorry?

spoil. What does that mean? Spoil means I need you to be able to keep up with my lifestyle if you want to be with me. What does that mean? Financially, what does that mean? What does that mean? What does that mean? What does that mean? Numbers? Yes.

Yeah. $45,000? So you need $50,000 a month. Now, Lauren, you said she cleared it up a little bit. Yeah, so Aisha Dia, she went on her social media and cleared it up because she was talking about lifestyles that she lives because she's one of the bartender girls in the club. they see $20,000 to $40,000 sometimes a night she says. And that's regular.

Yeah, and she also was saying, right. And she also, I mean, we have the audio so we can play the audio. But what she was saying is that it's not just about the bills. It's like if you want her to be able to set herself up. So she's investing. She's able to like save some money. You got to double it up. That's the point she was making.

Now see, yeah, that's why I said. I should have like, well, actually I didn't know who I didn't know who she was to you showed me. I was like, oh yeah, I know her from love and hip hop. Yeah. So she also said too, which makes a big point. if your man don't want you to work. Now, I'm all for that. If he don't want you to work, yeah, I totally agree with her.

It just wasn't enough context provided. It's just like, yeah, I thought, I didn't know that she was saying if your man didn't want you to work. I thought that's just period. Like, yeah, that's what I need if we date. Now, I know Aisha, I used to work the clubs with her when I was DJing in New York City clubs

and Jersey strip clubs. And Aisha definitely used to have million-dollar dudes, basketball players, football players, rappers in the club waiting on her. And I'm not just talking about the next. nice, lush clubs. It'd be a hole in the wall club that she's working and she's bartending and I'm DJing, whatever, and they'd be

ball players at the end of the ball waiting for. Salute Bow Wow one time. I walked into a club, I'm like, what are you doing here? Whole time. He caught, he calming it. Oh, he did. And said, yeah, he hit it for free or something. Well, I don't know, I don't know what the financial was, but Bow Wow was definitely at the

whole of the wall spot. At the end of the ball. Maybe they was dating. But if you're dating, you putting out, maybe maybe she had a little soft spot for the ball. I love Bow wow. I was in a Patterson, New Jersey Club, hole in the wall, and was at the end of the bar talking to her all night. And I was like, wow, what are you doing? No security. He was by himself. He was by, wow. Wow. Yeah, yeah, my girl. So she definitely has some dudes waiting on us. So the question is, so let's now, let's get to the question. Okay. Look at finances. Will they possibly find love? Will they be able to find the individual that's into them and not into the dollar?

No, not if it's all about the bread. Hi, this is Joe Interestine, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast. where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life.

I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom, with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract.

Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search for it. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Minilic Lamouba. It's 1969.

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. had both been assassinated. And Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Al-Mermata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King's senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson.

to be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people would die. 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A-building on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your What do you do in the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you?

I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me, is where culture meets the soul, a place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff, identity when you don't recognize. yourself anymore, loss that changes you, purpose when success isn't enough, peace when your mind won't slow down, faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out.

If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary.

Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes. of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes

opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. No, I just still don't see it long. mean, lasting that long if it's just about the bread, you know what I mean? Because honestly, bread run out. And even if it don't, like, time and patients run out too when there's no real substance behind just having bread. But this is such a touchy topic because I think it's a thing of like maintaining lifestyle, right? Like she's saying, this is what I do on my own. And if you

want me to stop doing what I'm doing or even just be with me, this is what I expect. Why is it always an issue when women have those expectations? I'll tell you why, because you're looking for lifestyle. You're looking for finances and not love. Because finances, finances, come and go. Like somebody could be a 100 millionaire one day and lose it all. Somebody can have a million one day and lose it all. And you don't want that person with you. You don't want the person that's just here for the money, the finances, the bags, the coats, the shoes and all that

other stuff. You want somebody that loves you that's like, you know what? We ain't got it right now. Let's go to McDonald's for lunch. You ain't got it right now. I'm going to wear this, this coat shoes or this Mary Kaye, whatever, or Torrey Berg or whatever they be. Or we're going to figure out how to get back, like how to get back up. You know what I'm saying? That's what it is. You know, you shouldn't be compelled to leave just because you are only with somebody for the money.

But in Aisha's defense, if that's her lifestyle already and you don't want her to work, this is what, this is the tax bill. I mean, this is what I'm texting you, Muffley.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Taboo. How are you doing? From Detroit. Taboo, what I'm going to talk to us? What's your thoughts? Hey, y'all, my thoughts are I think that

a woman needs to have her own bag, even though she have those expectations because love is more meaningful than just getting with a man for his money and what he could do for you. Come on, you got to be independent. Got you. Yeah, I'm with you too, and that's what I would tell my daughters.

Make sure you have your own. It's cool to have everything together. I'm not mad at that, but just in case he can start acting up, make sure you're good that you ain't got in line. Right. Because when his money, some can happen at any time, and when something happened with him, then you ain't even going to be able to have his back,

and both of y'all are going to be out here looking stupid. Right. Thank you so much, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's your name? Shana. Hey, Shane, to talk to us.

What's your thoughts? My thought on that is just said something about, it's not meant to last. I know the love isn't going to last or love is going to be there. But trust me, it's not meant to last for you to get the money and get the hell on. I get you now. If that's the agenda, I mean, if that's the objective, then that's what's up. So you're not looking for love.

You're just looking for a bag. That's what you're looking for, mom. Depends on what you want. Yeah, you've ever been in survival mode? Don't nobody want to be in survival mode. If a guy is willing to spend some money or making a certain amount of money, I want that. But see, the thing with you is you're going to look

ugly one day. Your looks going to fade. Your shit is going to drive. Who gives this? I'm going to get his money. I'm opening up. Now, you can't just be messing with a dude and just What's your name? What are you calling from? So you're seeing in this stage, right, it's about the money, but you're using that money to set

yourself up. So in all that phase, you got you. Correct. Right. Now, you can't just be in it to get bags and Chanel bags and all of this and that. No, you get that, but you set yourself up to get the hell away from them. Because you're right. It's not going to last, and I'm not doing this for love.

I'm doing this to set, to make sure my future is sex. So you're looking at them like a job. You're not even looking at it like a relationship. You're going in, I wasn't love. So that's different, that's just what you want. Is that the definition of a gold dig? Most definitely. Professional.

No, I think professional goal-digger. Relationships are a two-way street, though. They're all transactions. They're not wrong with it. That's just your title. Professional. Go, digger. That's what it is.

But you got to, but you also, well, in my case, I work, I work. I do, I have my own business. I'm working towards something. I'm just not, not doing nothing. But why would I date you if you telling me you only there for the bag? And that if something does happen. I don't know, but I ain't going to tell you a minute for the bag. Oh, you go.

I'm going to play like I act like I like you. Oh, okay. Okay, I'm going to say at least act like it down. All right. Goodbye, see. This is what makes I qualify. Tolo, who's this? Hi, this is DeRonda.

Hey, good morning, Mom. I'm going to talk to us. I don't agree with the 50 a month because what comes with that? Abuse, disrespect, hurt. Like, you attracting the wrong person for that because a real smart man ain't going to just give you 50 a month, you know. And I think the real happiness, the real riches is your peace, your joy, your happiness. Right.

Yeah, and I will say this. There's a lot of dudes spending out there and not just rappers. I mean, hustlers, I mean, ballplayers. There's a lot of dudes spending that money on these women. And like you said, what comes with that? You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

David Mann was on the Willie Moore Jr. podcast. And he said women be like, you know, I want this. I want that in the man. And he said, become that list. If you want a man that, you know, works out and, you know, have money. Definitely. I agree.

I agree with that. Mm-hmm. Instead of, you know, you want him to work out, but you're a big bag. Like, the math ain't mad. Yeah, because you are what you're a track. You know, I mean, you're a track, what you are too. So, yeah, you got to do that.

You want a man in the gym. You want to, yeah, not my, because you can't have. I was going to see, you want a man with the curved penis, you know what I'm saying? Jesus Christ. What would you curve? Well, your uterus be tilted. Sometimes that's actually very perjur. Hello?

Yo, what's your? Hello? Is this red? Yeah, yeah, it's a red. What's up, brother, talk to us? What's your thoughts? What's up, man? I'll blame the culture, man.

It all depends on how you was raised and stuff. Like, I feel like these women now, they teach their girls and kids to go look for somebody that's going to take care of you. You see? Everybody don't have that mindset, but it's mainly that white people don't really get it to that. Yeah, I don't say this is going to crazy. No, I have, I have worked with, and I've had friends that white girls that they are taught to look for, husbands very early. It's a whole thing.

And they need to work. They need to make a certain amount of money. You go to certain places to find them. You're in certain, what is the programs that they're in? Jesus. Fraternity, sororities? Not even just fraternity sororities. Is it Jack and Jill?

What is it? Jack and Jill is for, that's black families. No, it's a program like Jack and Jill, but white families do it. And they put their girls in it. You get to meet the boys. They teach you like their ideas, all that.

It's like a whole. They groomed the same way. some of the black mom's groom. Don't make that a black thing. And then I don't want people to act like this is now. Yo, back in the day, like, probably not like slave or whatever, but like, I'm talking about, like, because my great

grandfather, yeah, like my great grandmother's mom was telling her daughters and all of them, yeah, make sure you get a man to take care of you. My grandmother and my mom, and that's how that happened. We're talking to me like that until I went to college. Because they didn't know no better. That's what they used. The social media, that's it. And the crazy thing

is with me and with my daughters, I do it different. I say I will take care of you. But that's because you're right. I got you. You don't need nobody for nothing. If you need it, you call me. If you got to change a light bulb or fix a tire and there's a problem, call dad. I will get out my bed at five in the morning to come.

But dad is in the household and dad is the provider. It's different when you're growing up with two black women who've done it all themselves. They're like, get you somebody that's going to sit. If Kayshall have some babies, they can take care of them kids. That was my mom's thing. It's like, go get you somebody that's going to provide. My grandma, make sure he bring his check home. I don't care.

What are you doing? Make sure he bring his check home. I completely wanted the opposite. Like, bring it home, but I want to be happy. Yeah. Like, I don't want to be miserable. And that's, if my son is too, my son's no, no, you ain't got to do nothing for, you ain't got to go shake you some change for whatever, some, some ass for some change.

You ain't got to do no hustling, nothing. Nothing. They got to, they got to do no hustling. They ain't got to do no money. Why did you think they was going to go shake something for some change? I'm just saying. It's just a turn. Did you go through it?

I'm just a turn. You ain't got to shake nothing for no change. You don't know. The two rumors are true? No. But whatever they need, I'm dad. Daddy's there for them. If they come up with an idea that they want to invest, I will help them because I wanted

to fall back on dad. We don't win together, but dad's going to be in your corner to the end. It's a different time period. It is. And I'm scared of people. And I'm scared of people. Damn right. Yeah.

Got to be scared now. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? Is there tomorrow? If you were 50,000, charge 50,000. If you were worth 500, charge that. Okay. All right.

Thanks. Words from Jess Elizis. When we come back, we got past the aorke. Nala will be joining us. It's the breakfast club. We're going to. Go. Go.

My DJ. That's my DJ. That my DJ. DJ come spinning. I come spinning. Come spin. What's up, Naila? What's up, Naila?

How you feeling? I'm chilling. You know, I had a really long, extensive studio session this past weekend, and I lost my voice. So bear with me. Okay. But I'm going to start with some R&B, and then I'm going to get into some. I'm gonna get into some upbeat rap. And I wanna start with this new Nali Coilerae record.

It's called Maybe. I've been a big fan of Nali for a while. So to see the two girls collab, I think is really dope. I like Kornoway. I like Colorei. I rock with it. Okay, cool. Yeah, but it's Nali's record.

Coitius is the future, but Nali's really dope. I'm actually gonna be highlighting her with Certified for the month of March, Women's History Month. But next I'm gonna get into this new Marlon Craft song. Marlon Craft is about to drop a record. He's been going viral off of that. last on the radar site for Gabe put together.

And yesterday was actually his birthday, and he has this residency in Manhattan with a live band. And people have been telling me about it for a long time, but this is my first time actually pulling up to it and seeing it. And it is really a really dope experience. So happy birthday, Marlin, but this record is called Analog Man. I like that. Yeah.

We said Marlon Kraft? Yeah. He's dope. I like that. Super dope. You said this is happening with a live band? Yes. Yes.

In Manhattan. I'll let you know the next. time he does it because he does it at least once a month. I feel like the live band way, because I mean, I know older artists, but like GZ, then you had, Gucci did, I think, live band as well too, but like, I feel like us over live bands is like, it's like art. Sometimes it works better when you know the records, though. Yeah, but it hits a little harder.

And sometimes when you don't, you're trying to fight to hear what the artist is actually saying. That's true. I think if you're somewhere, don't you experience in live music, you don't know who's singing because it's a known-name person, but it's just the energy of it and just the feeling of it is what I was. Yeah. I think that's why I love

my favorite tiny dance is still juvenile and manny. Because them ratchet-ass records over five-wind. Yeah, it sounds so good. Yeah, good. All right, I'm getting to this new baby Keem.

You know, he dropped his album last week. And I've been seeing a lot of reviews on it. They've been hating on him. But also, also, the Spotify whole we need new rap leaders and then they picked a bunch of people who've already been doing this. It's like, I thought y'all said new.

Anyway, let's get into Good Flirts featuring Kendrick and Momo Bird. I love it. I love his new project. Love it. I saw this, I was looking it up. I saw this thing on pitchfork,

whatever talking, it was a review. And they were saying that it was a bust because, like, his voice doesn't sound the same and he's fighting to, like, I guess, like, break out on some of the records. I like, I like the project. I mean, it does sound very kindric, but, like, I know why.

Like, I get it. Yeah, I didn't listen to the project, but I'm not mad at that record, and I'm not mad at some of the stuff I've been hearing from Baby King, but I think people just always want to, I guess, compare him to Kendrick. because that's family right there

but there's only one Kendrick you're not going to get that again there's only one I just think it's unfair because he's so talented and I thought it was a great project yeah I didn't listen to the project yet but I do think that pitchfork

doesn't really allow space for artists to evolve I'd be feeling like based off the project they'd be like this sounds different this sounds different it's supposed to sound different I'm gonna definitely get into that Keen project though but I just haven't had the time

to really sit and give a full assessment but this last record to me is a straight-up heater. It's called 6WA, Big X the Plug, flipped NWA with his crew, his Texas crew, and it just, it knocks. Yeah. Y'all really like Big X-a-plug. And I know a lot of people love him out there, but I still don't feel like he gets the credit he deserves. They don't make enough noise. Yeah, it's just not enough.

And people who know him, you play him in the club, it works, and the South it works. But I feel like he should be, I don't want to say a lot bigger, but I feel like he should be a lot bigger, though. Because Big X. gets busy. Like, he gets busy. He makes great. And it's across genres too. Yeah, yeah.

Easily across genres. Yeah, the country album last year. All his rap album slapped like this. I love all the flips over the Neo Soul beats and the funk beats from the 70s. So I don't know. I'm a big, big exa-flug fan too. I am too. I don't know what the disconnect is or if it even is a disconnect.

I don't know. Maybe because he doesn't do that much press. Like, you really don't see him do too many interviews. True. And artists from Texas really don't got to leave Texas. That's true. They make so much money at Texas is like, for what? Yeah, that's true.

but I rock with Big X. Same. Well, if you guys like those joints, make sure you guys follow me on Instagram at N-L-L-A-S-Y-M-O-N-E-E-E-E, and make sure you guys follow. It's a certified vibe. You can find the certified playlist

You probably don't go about to play pink because it's chilly birthday. You know how you get. It's the breakfast girl, good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. NV. Jess O'Hilary, Guy.

Sholomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. It's Black History Month. What are we doing, Sholomey. Man, saluted my guy, BDOT. Every day during Black History Month, B.D. That's a podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network called I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.

And today he's going to tell you about the African soldiers who helped win World War II. The African soldiers who helped win World War II. Africa. Welcome back, No Adols, to another episode of the most anticipated podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network, especially in February. Entitled, I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I'm your charismatic, very attractive, six-foot-two, 180-pound cut up like a bag of dope host. Beed it.

And yes, I look like a great. Greek God in the nude. But that's neither here, no there. We've got two more destinations this week, so grab that digital passport, because today we headed to the motherland. Africa. Oh, yeah, you're getting stamps this week,

because if your World War II history only includes Europe and America, well, that's not history. That's editing. But before we get into that, I have to give you three of the most useless facts you'll never need never ever not a day in life. Up first, over one million African soldiers fought in World War II.

Your second useless fact, they served in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, not just Africa. And your third useless fact, most of them came home to colonial rule anyways. So yeah, let's talk about that. Look, when World War II broke out, Europe needed help. Bad. They were looking like Jake Paul in the rain with Anthony Joshua last year. You remember that? And they'd have got their white asses knocked out just like Jake Paul. If they didn't do what colonial powers always do when they're in trouble. They turned to Africa. Need bodies? Call Africa. Need labor? Call Africa. Need us to fight your war? Same number. Man, Britain, France, and others recruited millions of African men to fight fascism, Nazism. and imperial aggression. The King's African Rifles? The Royal West African Frontier Force?

Man, these weren't just units. They were entire military traditions with decorated service histories. African soldiers fought in North Africa. They helped liberate Italy. They battled in Burma. They guarded supply lines. They carried equipment through the terrain

that Europeans couldn't survive. Man, they wasn't assistance. They were soldiers. Man, the Burma campaign alone had 90,000 African soldiers fighting Japanese forces in jungle warfare. The 81st and 82nd West African divisions were critical to the allied victory there. But here's the contradiction that broke everything wide open.

Man, African troops were fighting for freedom abroad while they was living under colonial rule at home. They saw Europeans panic, white soldiers bleed, empire's weakened. And that's when they realized something that was powerful. These people ain't invincible. Man, when that war ended, them African soldiers return home with military training, global awareness, and zero patience for colonial nonsense. That ain't a coincidence.

Many of those post-World War II independence movements across Africa were led by veterans who had already fought and won wars for other people. Kwame Nekrumah, Jomo Kenyatta, Leopold Singor, all independence leaders across Africa who drew directly from veteran networks and the political awakening that came from World War II. They just decided it was time to fight for themselves. And here's the part that gets erased. World War II is often framed as the war that saved democracy.

But democracy leaned heavily on African bodies to survive. Without them, that war looks pretty damn different. A century after Carter G. Woodson warned that black history would be minimized or erased, African soldiers became proof. They helped save the world. and were written out of the story. C.G.W. New. If we don't document global black sacrifice,

freedom starts looking like it was won by only a few. And it was not. If you learned something on today's episode, please share it. Because I promise you, I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know. Congratulations.

Your passport has been stamped. Next stop, Spain. For real, that's it, yo. For real, it was an African chant. and it means look y'all it's a lion oh my god can I ask you a I want to ask you a serious question what's that why did you think that we didn't know that's what the circle of life meant you think that all of these years

we watched the Lion King on TV and we watched it on Broadway and not once did we think to ourselves hmm I wonder what that means I mean I never heard nobody even asked would admit I never even heard nobody talk about but I don't know what to tell you yes it's a Zulu Chan Here comes a lion. Yeah, it's a Zulu chant. I just don't understand why you think you would be the first person

that would hear that and think to themselves. I know I'm not the first person. I know nobody knows what that means. You know I'm not the first person, but sometimes... You just got a little rock, man. You got a lot of rock, man. Yeah, because we're talking to a lot of people. It's not just me, you, you, and you.

It's other people. Yeah, but the Lion King has been around for a long time. And you know she's wrong. I don't remember ever. saying, oh my God. It is. It's a lion. It's a lion. I mean, it's different translations. But it does translate to here comes a lion father. There's a lion father. It's a lion.

Yeah. In layman's Zulu terms is, y'all, look, it's a lion. Oh, my God. Yeah, I mean, there's different ways to say it, but that's essentially what it means. Here comes a lion father. Yeah, here comes a lion father. It's a lion. But, yes, we did know that. Have you gone to the play? No, yo.
