I liked it after the halftime. After the halftime, okay. I felt like the Chiefs went to recharge. It was like, all right. Because I was like, I know they're not just going to a lot of scoring. It was a good defensive game. I liked it after the halftime. After the halftime, okay. I felt like the Chiefs went to recharge. It was like, all right. Because I was like, I know they're not just going to keep kicking and scoring. Kicking and scoring. But, you know, for me not to know enough about or a lot about football, I was, I know what I was doing.

You know what you was doing? I was like, yeah, because the 49ers offense was a little trashy. I wouldn't, well. Well, my son said that. Yeah, it was a little trashy. The defense on both sides were pretty good. It was a good defensive game, and the Kansas City Chiefs pulled it out in overtime. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it. And what you think about Usher performing? Oh, my God. I mean, it was great to see that he wasn't stingy with the stage. He brought out a lot of artists that he had hits with over the years. I loved it. I loved it. I didn't, yo, he started with my favorite song.

Me and my father's favorite song of his is Caught Up. That's from the Confessions album. It's number seven on the track. I mean, you know, track wise. And I loved it. I loved it. I ain't gonna lie. I thought he killed it.

I thought it was dope. We're gonna break it down. Yeah, we're gonna break it down. I love what he did. I love the fact that he kept it so Atlanta. He brought out the roller skates. He brought out the stripper poles. Yes.

I thought it was dope. I thought he kept it true to who Usher was And demolished it Only thing I missed Was Lovers and Friends It wasn't Yeah it wasn't on there He didn't do Lovers and Friends He didn't do it

I just was waiting for him And Lord y'all look good Lord John Yeah He lost a lot of weight He slimmed up and all that Yeah the black leather Then the black leather boots

If you haven't seen it, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the 49ers 25-22 in overtime. They're the Super Bowl champions back-to-back, and they're going for three. They said they wanted three, Pete, so we'll see how that works out. Great game. I loved it. A very defensive game. I thought it was pretty dope. Congratulations to Taylor Swift.

Hey, yo, that is super shady. Mahomes and, of course, Taylor Swift. They showed Taylor Swift so many times on that damn screen. Well, in the beginning, they did it. They only showed her one time when she was chugging a beer. Chugging a beer. Something like that. Then they showed a bunch of pictures with I Spiced.

In the second half, it was a bunch of Taylor Swift. I Spiced don't ever look like she know what she had, yo. But it was nice to see her there. Let me say this about Taylor Swift. They said the Taylor Swift advertising effect, there were record-breaking numbers in advertising. They spent $996 million on TV slots. Wow. Advertisers spent about $7 million for 30-second commercials, up 10% increase from last year's event.

And they are literally calling that the Taylor Swift advertising effect. Wow. Oh, wow. Nice. Well, let's jump right into the news Swift advertising effect. Wow. Oh, wow. Nice. Let's jump right into the news. Let's talk about Joel Osteen's church. Yeah, sad news yesterday. You know, folks, it's out of nowhere that you saw breaking news yesterday about a woman

in a trench coat armed with a long rifle and accompanied by a young child entered Pastor Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church on Sunday afternoon and begin firing. Take a listen. A peaceful day of prayer. Active shooter out of Central Area Lakewood Church. Turning violent. Around 2 p.m. local time, Houston police say a female shooter entered Lakewood Church, the worshiping home of televangelist Pastor Joel Osteen,

a megachurch that can hold 16,000 people. He was armed with a long rifle and a trench coat with a backpack, accompanied by a small child, approximately four to five years old. Once she entered, at some point she began to fire. All of a sudden we just heard in the backstage, somewhere around the back out there, a few shots fired. This man says he was waiting for a spanish service to begin when gunshots rang out officer and agent gates striking the female police say the shooter died at the scene adding the young child with her was hit and is in critical condition

wow yeah so sad news uh with that with that child again, as of last night, anything can change. The child was still in a critical condition. There has not been a motive yet. But again, as the story continues to develop, they may find out if there was some reason behind what she did. Now, another man was also shot in the leg who's doing okay as a result of that. He's not in critical condition. They don't believe that he was involved. Now, she said she had a bomb when she entered the church so they did go and search her car they didn't find anything there she was

spraying some type of substance but the investigators believe that this is an isolated event and again no motive at this time it was two off-duty law officers as well that I want people to know so it was a Houston police officer and an agent with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission that engaged and struck the woman who died on the scene. I think people were just really shocked that she was a female. She was about 30 to 35 years old, from what I understand. Now, the other people that got shot, was it friendly fire?

Meaning, was it, you know, them trying to shoot her and they got hit, or we don't know as of yet? It says it's unclear if who fired the shot, who struck the child, you know, where that came from. They said at it says it's unclear if who fired the shot who struck the child you know where that came from and they said at this moment it is unclear and it's also unclear what the child's relationship was to the shooter right and then the 57 year old they have not at least as of last night because you know these reports got to continue to update throughout the day um they are not sure you know they're just saying he was shot in the leg and seeking treatment at the hospital they didn't specify whether it was from her or from friendly fire so

i'm sure that'll change you know this morning when they go through the news cycle i mean when i see things like this and you know of course texas is a place where you can carry right and i'm sure a lot of people in that congregation had weapons and i always think like if they didn't would she have been able to kill many people you know i mean would we be talking about a different situation if it would have been a place like new york where you can't carry like that or a place where you know in other areas where you can't carry if the situation would have been a lot worse you know well you know the churches are on high alert uh they've been on high alert especially since we've been having this war it's constantly

been on high alert but especially since we've had this war because remember bishop td jakes talked about this um i guess when they were when he was trending online about you know his involvement and all the other mess that they were talking about and he actually said that day that they were upping security they've been upping security lately uh because of the threats they've been receiving so um the way these mega churches are set up i've just belonged to one for years when you walk in you're just not walking in there they're they're looking they're looking at a lot of churches want to allow you to go in with trance coats they won't allow you to have big bags they won't have so they are really you know about their business on security so you're not just walking in and just

you know doing whatever and you know they look out for suspicious activity so she was stopped you know immediately now uh pastor olsen said if this had been when they were changing you know uh like you know people walking through changing services it could have been much worse so the timing of it um was also uh helpful as well according to what they said all right well thank you tez we'll see you next hour what we talking about next hour oh man uh donald trump went in on nikki haley's husband and he made a shocking statement encouraging russia to quote do whatever the hell they want. So tap in at the top of the hour.

I'll tell you more. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Let us know how your weekend was. Did you watch the game? What were your thoughts? Whatever it may be, get it off your chest.

This is real. Jess Hilarious. Jess with the Robin Lewis. Jess don't do no lying. Jess is going to bring you numbers. Jess with the mess. On The Breakfast Club. I know they know the difference.

Keep it a secret. All right. Last night was the 58th Super Bowl, and the halftime went to Usher. Listen, I'm going to say that the Chiefs and the 49ers, they came to Usher's concert. They were able to ball it out or whatever, and of course the Chiefs took it, but let's break down the halftime, y'all. I was excited to see, like I said,

he wasn't stingy with the stage like he he shared his stage with people that he had hits with over the past you know over the past years or whatever he brought out her i was i was so happy i was ecstatic to see her and she did her thing uh ludacris lord john jermaine dupree will i am who i thought was conge for a minute yeah i was like oh my god i didn't know that they had something together. But then I heard the song, Oh, My God. So I was like, no, that's where I am. And Alicia Keys, which is the most talked about performance between him and his ex.

Now, for those who don't know, he did date her like when they was younger, younger. Charlamagne didn't know that. I didn't know that either. I didn't know that either. I think y'all made that up. You think we made it up? Well, that's why they say Justin Dometh in our news is real, allegedly. But I ain't the only one who know this think y'all made that up. You think we made it up? Well, that's why they say just what's messing in our news is real,

allegedly. But I ain't the only one who know this, y'all. I don't think none of y'all know this. I never heard that. I think the internet told y'all this yesterday.

I ain't never heard this in my life. Apparently Swizz probably didn't know either. Man, cut it out. But no, but no. Listen, everybody mad at Usher

for the performance because, of course, he was, you know, touchy and feely. He, you know, he was, you know, touchy and feely. He was being usher. He was being usher. Sadly. That man is a menace.

A domestic terrorist. They had to practice that, though, guys. No, they didn't. They had to rehearse that. No, Alicia looked surprised when he hugged her from behind. Swift Fronzy was like, that didn't happen in rehearsal. I was there. I've been here all weekend.

I didn't see that. But a little recap. Play number four. They did sound all weekend. I ain't see that. But a little recap play number four. They did sound all right. Now she ain't hit the note that she was supposed to sing because when he said you were mine she was going to say

you were mine. She ain't hit that. And then when she came in I loved how she came in when she had that red cape on. The red dress and the red piano was dope. Yes, y'all keep saying this is dress, it's not. It was a cape. But she, I loved it.

It was a dress. The red piano was dope. That was dope. Play. Sup, y'all. This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast.

Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Smash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know?

I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for post run high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy and very fun. Listen to post run high on the I heart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change.

I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hi, I'm Marie. And I'm Sydney. And we're Mess.

It was the first note. Then she got it. What I found interesting is on YouTube. I'm supposed to hit the right note when somebody hugging me from behind. No. This one wasn't even a piano. She wasn't even being hugged.

I'm just trying to shoot her some bells. No, it's okay. No. But on YouTube, if you go and look at the recap I made the the halftime show they actually cleaned up a vocals. I think it was like a I play number two That's what they got So they cleaned it up for but but play number one again just so they remember

I'm blaming Usher you know Usher had her feeling nervous because he was coming up behind her grabbing her ass and stuff

she no shit married woman I'm blaming Usher for the bad note he didn't grab ass I'm blaming Usher for the bad note he didn't grab ass

what? oh no he did oh he did go back and watch I thought that was a waste that wasn't a waste that ain't AI that's the real

that's the real one alright now Swizz Beatz responded this morning he he was like he said y'all talking about the wrong damn thing y'all don't see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium that's what i like too swiss he also said tonight's performance was nothing but amazing with two amazing giants congrats usher and my love alicia keys that song is a classic we don't do

negativity vibes um on this side we make history that's right go see giants brooklyn museum whatever whatever he killed it he uh and she killed it too okay that's fine so we're saying tripping so we shouldn't need to don't need to be true yeah but i think he shouldn't even have said nothing it's like whatever you know what i mean but it's perfectly okay for us men to look at our women and say you better not even think about it all right never it still is it is let's uh talk about jermaine Dupri coming out looking like a pilgrim. I said, what are you doing here? He was dressed like he was going to a funeral brunch, wasn't he?

Funeral brunch? He had on the same socks that my mom used to put me on for Easter. I said, why he do that? He was dressed like a youth pastor at Easter Sunday trying to relate to the kids in his congregation. I know they swag, sir. I know he showed up and he's like, come on, there was so many other things he could have wore he was dressed like he thought beyonce was putting out a thanksgiving theme album that's what's going on lord have mercy jesus when ludacris said watch out my outfit's ridiculous i was like yep yeah but at least it plays to the it plays to the lyric

because he said watch out my outfit's ridiculous jermaine Dupri should have said the same thing yes he should have yes he should have yes he should have but it is alright it's alright and then Beyonce Beyonce said

alright Usher I'll let you finish but I got a country album I'm dropping and then I loved her her commercial her Superbowl commercial

Verizon yeah Verizon got some money they got some money listen They got some money. Listen. And it was good to see her play. Like, she was having fun in the commercial, obviously. Her personality seeped through.

Like, she wasn't just all serious B. She actually had some personality. And actually, her song, Texas Hold'em, dropped shortly after last night. Play it. Number eight. It's like real, real country. It's really real country. It is.

It's country. You know. Beyonce going to have y'all wearing stirrups, cowboy hats, and riding horses by March. Guaranteed. babe it's like it's like real real it's really real country it is country you know beyonce gonna have y'all wearing stirrups cowboy hats and riding horses by march guaranteed i guarantee we're gonna see some girls out here doing it but i mean she's a trendsetter i i think this is like a part of her you know what i'm saying like so remember act one was renaissance the house music and then act two was gonna be a country album um she's from Texas. I mean, she tied all this Beyonce versus Taylor Swift.

She was like, now I'm going to go into your genre and do it better than you. Watch. Taylor Swift misconsidered the country on this. Let's see if she do that. And then I think Act 3 will be rock and roll. I mean, before she retire on this, not to speak it up too soon,

but that's what I think that she's doing. And then if you really want to dig deeper into it, I think that she is putting out albums for everything they stole from black people. Because we had rock and roll. We had country first. We had all of that. So house music was first.

We got country coming up. And then the third and final album will be the rock and roll. I like that conspiracy theory right there, Jack. I like that. That's a good one. Big ups to be. Even though she could have made that announcement today. Just let Usher have it.

They should have coordinated. She got paid $30 million for that commercial, too. And got to promote her new music. How you know? What? That she got paid $30 million? Yeah. The same way you know Usher and Alicia Keys used to date.

Oh, my God. The internet. Something I just read somewhere. Okay. All right, cool. Just repeating. Well, allegedly, that is just with the mess. All right.

Can we get into, are we going to still talk about it in the next rumor, the Usher Super Bowl? What you want to talk about? What you want to talk about? Well, I was born in 1978. Okay. In my professional opinion, not to be a prisoner at a moment, that show last night is either the greatest halftime show of all time. Watch me.

Or in heavy, heavy, heavy contention for greatest Super Bowl performance of all time. It was an instant classic to me. It's top five for me. And if I'm being objective, number one to me is Prince in 2007. But the thing that Prince had on his side is remember it started raining during Purple Rain?

I remember, yeah, yeah. That's like, God, you can't really beat that. Out of Michael Jackson in 93? He got Michael in 93 to me. You think he got Michael in 93? Michael stood there for two minutes long, the crowd going crazy. He had stunt doubles. He did all that.

He was dancing like crazy before all of a sudden. He had fireworks and all that. To me, it's better than Beyonce in 2013. To me, it's better than Duran Snoop in 2022. Beyonce was here to fire? I'm just saying, the only one to me is Prince in 07, but that's only because Prince had the natural

elements on his side. So maybe I'm being a prisoner at the moment. I don't know. To me, it was the best I've ever seen. I would say top five. I would say top five.

Now, putting the five in order is something else. And let's talk about that after front page news. 800-585-1051. What were your thoughts? Where do you rank this Usher performance?

You got to be of a certain age to have this conversation. Because most people are not going to see Michael Jackson. I remember Michael. Well, how about they put it up on YouTube and then call in? 800-585-1055. I got one question. In the group chat, I said I was going to stand there with my legs open,

and you were supposed to slide through my legs on the way in this morning. Like I should be, well, I am. You didn't see me ignoring the group? I never replied to that. Y'all didn't see that? No, but I know you saw it. Yeah. So where your skates

and there go his legs. What's up? Front page news is Dexter's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now let's get in some front page news. Now over the weekend,

again, if you missed it, the Chiefs beat the 49ers 25-22. Great defensive game. And of course, us, you killed the Super Bowl. Absolutely. Yeah, salute to the Kansas City Chiefs, man. They're officially a dynasty now. I mean, you know, you went back-to-back Super Bowls, what, three? what three in the last four years there hasn't been a team more dominant in the nfl and i love

it because my son is a ravens fan but his favorite he has like favorite players and his favorite quarterback is patrick? So he really was happy. So I had to be happy for him. I was like, aw. Patrick is that dude. He won it in ones. Once in a generation of talent. Well, Patrick Mahomes talks after the Super Bowl and talks about being a dynasty. I'm just proud of the guys that kept believing

and I'm proud of the coaches for calling up those plays. They got us some touchdowns there at the end. You know, you go on and win the championship. Being the underdog the last three games in the playoffs may be a lesson learned for everybody else out there in the future. Yeah, just know that the Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs. Just know that. I'm just glad Travis Kelsey didn't score the touchdown to win the Super Bowl.

If Travis Kelsey would have scored the touchdown to win the Super Bowl, then Beyonce would have dropped two songs for nothing. Usher would have scored the touchdown to win the Super Bowl, and Beyonce would have dropped two songs for nothing. Usher would have performed for nothing. Because it really would have been all about Travis, Kelsey, and Taylor. By the way, it already is. But if Travis would have scored the touchdown to win the Super Bowl, oh, my God. And do you know that we're making it more about her

with all these hypotheticalnesses? He's hypothetical. He scored a winning touchdown. And by the way, he almost did. The play before the touchdown, was on the five yard line Before he got tackled I was like here you go Here you go

He was almost there But clearly the refs Wasn't on their side In the first half We actually knew that Who told you that Ashton? Yes I know

So alright Don't matter My dad was teaching me so much I said alright Now I'm writing it down Like I can't wait to see this one. Well, let's jump right into Trump test. Yeah, let's jump right into it.

As Donald Trump and Nikki Haley prepare to see who wins in South Carolina on February 24th. Donald Trump got personal with Nikki Haley's about Nikki Haley's husband this weekend in South Carolina at a rally at the Coastal Carolina University in Conway. Let's take a listen to what he said and then Nikki Haley's response. Where's her husband? Oh, he's away. He's away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone. He knew. He knew. Donald Trump had a rally today. And in that rally, he mocked my husband's military service. And I'll say this. Donald, if you have something to say, don't say it behind my back.

Get on a debate stage and say it to my face. If you mock the service of a combat veteran, you don't deserve a driver's license, let alone being president of the United States. I'm 100% positive Donald Trump has no idea Nikki Haley's husband is in the military. I don't think he knows. I don't think he knows. She talks about it all the time. He don't have a clue. I don't

believe he has a goddamn clue. You know, he don't have a problem telling people in the military that they're losers. You know, he did that with John McCain, saying that he got taken by the POW, so he may know now i didn't hear the whole audio so did he reference her her husband being away in the military in that audio he did not he was just saying where was she and that's my problem with that's my problem with people that's my problem with the media what you can't say how a person feels She said he's mocking the fact my husband is in the military.

How is that mocking the fact her husband is in the military? She just said your husband's not around. Exactly. How do you jump to the conclusion? I mean, how do you jump to the conclusion that he's mocking my husband being in the military? That, in a way, is kind of fake news, yo. Well, I mean, she said it multiple times that her husband is in the military active duty now whether he listened to that or not and again it's campaigning you're

gonna use whatever you can but just for the point of reference he is serving active duty deployment in horn of africa for south carolina army national guard he responded on x formerly known as twitter showing a photo of a wolf saying the difference between humans and animals animals would never allow the dumbest ones to leave the pack so to your point charlamagne she has said this multiple multiple times you're saying that you don't think that he did know and that connection of mocking i don't think he knew and even if he did know he never said anything about her him being away in the military all he said was where is nikki's husband where is it where is he for people for people who don't know who haven't been paying attention they probably like damn where is he

all you gotta do is answer the question my husband is away in the military but let's see about this one let's see if this is a little bit more clear about what donald trump said when we talk about his comments of nato now at the same round overclimbing russia those were 100 clear yeah so he encouraged russia to do whatever the hell they want to any NATO country that does not pay enough. Let's take a listen to that. One of the presidents of a big country stood up, said, well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said, you didn't pay your delinquent. He said, yes, let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.

Those comments were 100 percent clear. And that would absolutely lead to World War Three. Absolutely. And just so people understand, it's not the NATO does not have a bill that they pay. They are encouraged to invest two percent of their gross domestic product into this fund. And many of them have not been meeting that target. But it's not a delinquent bill type of thing. You know, so they haven't been meeting. A lot of them have been meeting this target for years. And Trump has always complained about that, that other countries in NATO don't spend the amount of money that the United States have, which is, you know, a valid complaint. But just want to be clear, this is not a bill. He's always threatened to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. But his comments Saturday were the most direct indication that he does not intend to defend NATO allies from Russian attacks.

President Joe Biden says Sunday that Trump is making it clear that he will abandon our NATO allies and that Trump admits that he intends to give Putin a green light for more war and violence to continue his brutal assault against a free ukraine and to expand his aggression to the people of poland are appalling and dangerous yeah several other people spoke out on yeah and that's what the media should be focused on like those are comments that will 100 lead to world war three if they were to ever happen like if he was to ever do that so it's just like that's what people that's what people should be focusing on that is a comment that people should take and posterize and play in media over and over and over and over, especially the Biden campaign. Now, for people that don't know what NATO is, I mean, we all learned it in school. You want to break down what NATO is and why NATO was there to protect some of those countries? Yeah, thank you. So NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It was founded in 1949.

It's a group of 31 countries from Europe and North America that exists to protect the people and territory of its members. The alliance is founded on the. So saying, oh, you on your own. Yeah, Russia, not only, you know, you are you on your own, but do whatever the hell you want is a really alarming statement. Very dangerous. Trump is really the worst bill collector ever. I mean, he'd be a terrible landlord. We know he's already been a terrible landlord but he won't give you no grace nope you you laid a little bit you delinquent a little bit you let a whole country attack you let attack them that's crazy yeah and the thing is it's not delinquent that that's the

whole thing it's it's a fund you know you put money into a pot you know in simple terms you know they're saying everybody should pay their fair share and you know which i i get the the gripe of it all but it's certainly not a requirement it's it's just a request so all right there it is and that is front page news thank you tiz absolutely and make sure you follow at tesla figaro on all social media platforms and subscribe to at tesla figaro's podcast it's great shot no change the podcast on the black effect i heart radio podcast network subscribe all right all right and let's open up the phone lines 800 585-1051 usher's performance last night where do you rank that in super bowl performance i got it i i maybe i'm being a prisoner of the moment me, it looked like and felt like the greatest Super Bowl halftime show I've ever seen. Now, I got a top five.

My top five is really in no order except for number one. I got Michael Jackson in 93, Dre and Snoop in 22, Beyonce in 2013. And Prince in 07 was my number one because go back and watch that. Prince started playing Purple Rain and it started raining in Miami. Like, that's just God. I watched that this morning, too. That was dope. Usher, man, last night, just the production, the showmanship, the catalog of music he got.

I felt like it was the best one I've ever seen. I don't know. I don't know. Usher in 93. This is before, I mean, I said Michael Jackson in 93. This is before they had all the things that they can do. That's number one for me. They didn't have none of that in 93.

But that's why it's hard to compare. But Michael still had stunt doubles popping up on top of the stage. Crazy. He was in the crowd. Them stunt doubles look so terrible now when you watch it. Go back and watch it now. You're like, that clearly was not Michael. Uh-uh.

Okay. Well, when I was in the moment, I thought it was. And he just stood there for mad long. And people cried and cheered like crazy. All the time. What are you talking about? They was there for him. Uh-uh. Okay. Well, when I was in the moment, I thought it was. And he just stood there for mad long. And people cried and cheered like crazy. All the time. What are you talking about? They was there for him. That's right.

Usher was better. Let's discuss. Even the football players cried. 800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Morning everybody It's DJ Envy

Jess Hilarious Charlamagne Tha Guy We are The Breakfast Club If you're just joining us We're talking about The Super Bowl last night We're actually talking About Usher Bowl

Now we were talking about Where do you rank Usher's performance From I guess, all the Super Bowls that you've seen or can Google. And that is the question

this morning. 800-585-1051. Let's talk to Jess. Yeah, Jess, you're much younger than us, right? What's the best Super Bowls you've seen? I'm sorry.

Because I'm going to say I'm sorry first because y'all aren't going to agree. But Beyonce and Bruno killed it with a little bit of Coldplay at the end oh I remember that

yes Rihanna you didn't like the Beyonce when she brought out Destiny's Child yeah but I just liked

Beyonce when she did Formation and then it was mixed with Bruno because he can dance too

he's such a powerhouse and then Coldplay it just seemed like he was just there but them two

like collectively that was dope. Rihanna, I actually liked that. Even though everybody was talking, you know, crap a little bit. Because Shane really liked to dance. She was pregnant. But it was unity. It was like, it was so uniform that everybody had on red.

And it was like a big statement. And she sounded good. And last night, and and usher to be honest that yeah uh michael jackson because i did watch that i mean i was one year old when it happened but i watched it over the years and um yeah i would say those are my four favorite yeah mine is uh like i said michael jackson in 93 dre and snoop 2022 beyonce in. Number one for me has been Prince for a long time. Because like I keep saying, he played Purple Rain and it started raining, y'all. Not no freaking effects. God was like, nah, let me add a little something.

Let me add a little season to your show, Prince. You can't beat that. But man, Usher, man, last night, that was the best production I've ever seen at the Super Bowl, man. I would do top three. I think for myself, Michael Jackson's still number one. I just remember that feeling of watching it and then wanting to do the moonwalk and everything after. But when you go back and watch it, production pales in comparison to Usher. It was 1993.

That is true. The technology was different. The technology was way different. And then I think Prince is up there. Prince is. Because the Prince with the Purple Rain, it was just like, I couldn't believe it. Come on, man. And then

you got Usher. Usher killed it. Just the roller skating, the stripper pose, the dancing. It was like a circus. Like a soul circus. So much going on. It was a lot. And I didn't mean that in a crazy way. But yeah, it was a lot. It was like a big party.

It was performance. Like you said, it was effects, all of this. It was a lot. It was a lot. Usher's was performance. Like you said, it was effects, all of this. Yeah. It was a lot. It was a lot. Usher performance was so good, it actually made the Manny Dupree's outfit look aight. No, it didn't. No, it didn't. Okay, never mind.

No, it didn't. No, it didn't. What he talking about? I don't know what he talking about. He better not come here wearing it. Halloween. Hello, who's this? Rachel.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better

understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something

that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

And don't say 50 Cent hanging upside down.

You got to name me three better. I like Michael. Okay. Yes. Prince. And Beyonce. Yes. Which Beyonce won?

2013? Yep. Okay. Listen, I'm not mad at any of those. Even though I think Usher was better than all of them. I need to go back and watch the 2013 one. Okay. I'm not mad at any of those, even though I think Usher was better than all of them. I need to go back and watch the 2013 one. Yes, because what year was Her and Bruno? Her and Bruno was after 2013.

It might have been the very next year, 2014, 2015, maybe. I don't know. I think it was 16. Hello, who's this? TJ from Atlanta. Hey, from Atlanta. What's up, man? TJ.

We're asking Usher's performance. What are you ranking, brother? Top three, definitely between him, Hey, from Atlanta. What's up, man, TJ? We're asking Usher's performance. What are you ranking, brother? Top three, definitely between him, Mike, and Prince. I got to kind of give it to Mike because if you remember, no one knew which Mike was coming out first. He was playing in two different spots. That's what I was saying. That was the stunt doubles.

And he popped it off. And he popped it off. Yes, that was the stunt doubles. They're saying that performance actually made a performance start really putting money and investing into their halftime performance. It was like that was the start of it. Yeah. Yeah, you got to give it to Mike. Even though Prince had that purple rain, I don't know, everyone got a goosebump during that time.

But see, that's what I mean. We're basing it off nostalgia, right? I got Prince number one, but I got it because he was playing Purple Rain and it started raining. I'm just talking about a pure production. Prince production wasn't near Michael and Usher's. They didn't have technology like that. Prince was in 2007. Yeah, but we're

2023. It's not like Usher was out there with AI, bro. He just had a big production. He had a big production. I don't know, man. I got Usher number one. I gotta give it to Usher. i don't want to say right now because i don't want to be number one it was an instant classic for me i watched it and i said this is the best halftime show i've ever seen that's the first thing my mind said well this is the thing did you watch it again did you watch it for the second time you gotta watch i watched it again and it's even

better the second time even with the original original Alicia note? The original one all over all. When they live, I actually enjoyed the live singing. Okay. I was happy that Usher sang live. I was happy Alicia sang live, even if her voice cracked a little bit. Just the one time. None of that bothered me. You know what I'm saying?

We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Usher's halftime performance last night. We're just asking, where do you rank it? And we got Janiyah on the line. Is that your name, mama? Janiyah.

Janiyah. I'm sorry, Janiyah. Where do you rank Usher's halftime performance? Listen, I'm a dancer. I'm 36, Jenea. What do you rank Usher's halftime performance? Listen, I'm a dancer. I'm 36 years old. And from the entertainment standpoint, he's definitely up there as top three. Who else you got? For sure.

Who's your other? Michael and Prince. Michael and Prince. Okay. And over Beyonce? Yeah. And you a dancer? I mean, Beyonce is definitely in the conversation.

She's definitely top five. But entertainment-wise, like what he did last night, the way he brought Atlanta, that man had stripper pose on the Super Bowl Sunday. God bless Usher for that. And he took his shirt off. Forget Janet Jackson. He showed his nips and tic-tac-tac.

Come on now. He definitely showed his nips. Come on now. You definitely showed his nips. Come on now. You know, on a side note, that was a bet if Usher was going to show his nipples or not. Really? Yeah. How much you want?

You made that bet? I didn't win. I didn't win. My son called me. He was like, Dad, you think Usher's going to show his nipple? I'm like, what? What are you talking about? How much you and Logan won? He was like, nah, because it's a bet.

I'm like, I don't know. I said, I don't think he's going to show his nipple. I said, with all the nipple game stuff, he ain't going to show his nipple. And he did. He did. My son lost. Logan, you feel me? Yo, your son bet on Ushern't think he's going to show his nipple. I said, with all the nipple game stuff, he ain't going to show his nipple. And he did. He did. My son lost. Logan, you feel me? Yo, your son better wash his nipples?

You might as well put Logan in the group chat now, man. Logan, that's the kind of conversation you having with your daddy? He done turned you out, Logan? Yo. You was keeping him straight, Logan. Now you got your little crook in him. Hello, who's this? K.O. from Detroit.

K.O., what up, though? We're talking about Usher last night. His halftime performance What's your thoughts? I wasn't too impressed man You wasn't impressed? Yeah I wasn't too impressed Why not brother?

I feel like he could've did better Yeah that's what you said I did When he took his shirt off And your girl was like Oh my god And you was like Oh he could do that

You thought he ain't He wanted to know the guy He wanted to know the guy He hired me You heard that? I'm actually single, though, so I wasn't even worried about no girls. So what specifically do you think he should do? Did he miss songs?

What do you think he could have did better? Probably the songs or probably even perform the songs even better because it was like a six-minute show, i just it was too short it was 15 minutes it was the longest halftime show in super bowl history it was a hater no people just be talking man you don't want to be different hello who's this hello hello hey what's your name hey my name is freddie hey freddie what's your thoughts on usher my name is Franny. I'm Orlando. Hey, Franny. What's your thoughts on Usher's halftime performance? I think it was good. I would probably give it like a 7.5 to 8 out of 10,

only because I think with some of the performances, I liked the one with him and Alicia Keys. I didn't understand the one with him and her. Yeah. I don't know if he did a song with her before, or I don't know. I just know she was playing a good part. But I think the end was the best part of the show um to me I just feel like you know it's Usher so I feel like give the old school something to remind them like you know who

you are still today because he have new songs out and I just didn't understand why he didn't perform some of his new songs. And then to find out at the end of the show, like, in the commercial, I think they said that he have an album coming out,

and I'm like, well, why he didn't perform some of his new songs? Because I'm Kimmel Friday. Yeah. I'm Kimmel Friday. It's actually fire. So why not,

I just didn't understand why he didn't perform, like, I don't know, I was looking for him to play good, good. You know, he could have brought out the song, I like the song We Can Do It with City Girls, but then also, like, the, you know,, I don't know. I was looking for him to play good, good. You know, he could have brought out the song.

I like the song. We can do it with the city girls. But then also, like, the, you know, Gen Z don't know, like, who Usher is. Because, you know, they probably don't know about, you know, all the good music that we know of Usher coming up. So, you know, for us, we should have got some of the new stuff. For the new generation, we should have got some of the old stuff, which was good. But then, there was just a lot going on with the show as well.

He was switching in and out. I think, like, he'll play a song, then three or five seconds later, it switched, and I was like, wait, wait, wait. That was my song, then he was switching in. I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What's going on here? I think, like, it was good, but I think he should have put some different songs in and let them play longer, especially some of the good ones that he had. Okay.

But I also think, like, he should have especially some of the good ones that he had. Okay. But I also think he should have performed some of his I think he should have performed some of his new songs that he had out. I disagree with you, but nah. I'm going to disagree with that, too. What I will say, I think him and Alicia went too long. I mean, that took like

maybe three or four minutes of his performance. You know what I mean? It didn't take that long? It was like three minutes because she came on with some people you know she didn't have to crack your voice like that you know I mean well some people you know yeah they could have left that part out and then he maybe he could have got lovers and friends that's what I was looking for love maybe he could have did that but that's the way yeah we didn't need I didn't hurt, we didn't need, it didn't hurt, but we didn't need Alicia Keys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it didn't hurt. Yeah. But My Boo was one of my favorite songs by them both. But just her song. And Usher and Hurt do have a song together. It's on the Color Purple soundtrack. Oh, my God. Alicia and Usher?

They got a slave song? Usher and Hurt. Sing a Hurt. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like what he did with Hurt. He let Hurt do her did with her Hello who's this This is Michelle from Englewood Hey Michelle from Englewood what's your thoughts mama

I agree with Charlotte I agree it is Top three for me And he showed up and showed out He showed up and showed out But I just want to say to you guys I love you guys My little niece from another sister, congratulations.

Thank you, Mama. You remind me of a cousin that I have here. Thank you. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. She has embodied you, Tia. But I am so happy for you. You are the great fit. I'm glad they picked you.

Thank you. I got that family phone, 843. Hey. Yo country all day. Somerville, South Carolina. One of my first cousins has a pest control business on Highway 17. Oh, okay. Yes, Eric Sellers.

What's his name? Eric Sellers Sr. Okay, okay. Yes, but I will say R.B. Stahl is the best high school over there. All right, Mama. Now, what I will say RB saw into that tightsuit over there. All right, mama. And what's the more little story? I was on a JetBlue flight coming back and I was watching the Super Bowl on the flight

and the woman named Beth was raving about Jess too, the flight attendant named Beth. She lived in Connecticut, salute to Beth. Beth was like, I love Jess. That's like my cousin in my head. I'm glad that y'all picked her. Thank you Beth from JetBlue. Yeah, salute to Beth from JetBlue. Are you going to discuss next hour why you went to LA?

No, not right now. And then another one of the flight attendants said to me, what did you think of the Super Bowl performance? I was like, I don't know, man. That might have been the best one I've ever seen. He goes, relax, relax. Okay, alright, Beyonce was better. I don't know what's better than Beyonce. So yeah, like you said, the moral of the story, I think, is we can't do a top three.

It has to be a top four. Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce, Usher. I mean, not in that order, but whatever order you want to go. But those top four. I agree. Usher and Prince tied for number one for me right now. And then in no order, Beyonce, Dre, and Snoop, Michael Jackson. Dre and Snoop? To me, that was an instant classic yeah i got that was an instant classic last night and in my mind that was the

best halftime show i've ever seen in my life okay okay all right well we got just with the mess coming up what we talking about yes oh my god it's really real juicy all right documentary it's a documentary on a loose show it's going to be so good we'll talk about it next don't move it's the breakfast club morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilaria Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the breakfast club let's get to Jess with the mess Okay, so there is a documentary called The Dark Side of Kids TV's Investigation Discovery.

Release the trailer for the upcoming documentary, Quiet on Set. The Dark Side of TV is a full-part docuseries that were revealed in inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew. We got audio for it. Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship. Dan's treatment of people on his shows was an open secret. There would be even bigger problems down the line with actual pedophiles on set. These are three predators who worked at Nickelodeon,

all in a short amount of time. Eleven charges of child sexual abuse related to a child actor. Wow. And shows this series will feature cast and crew members from popular Nickelodeon shows like All That, The Amanda Show,

Double Dare, Zoey 101, iCarly, and Victorious. Where the hell is Dan Snyder at now I don't know you gotta see where he at you know people damn

yeah I don't know where he at now but um I really hope that's not where the concept of sliming someone came from first of all Lord have mercy

I know and I don't know I'm about to call Nick Cannon I wonder if Nick Cannon seen anything this is before Nick time though right

yeah this way before Nick time yeah but it was yeah he was on there, but it was like it was all throughout. You know, it said all that and like that was back, but that wasn't like Nick Cannon was on all that? No, no, no. No, he wasn't on all that.

But he was very much around, you know what I'm saying? That's scary. Yeah, because iCarly is rather new. Zoey 101 is rather new. You know, these shows are like shows that my son still watch. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah. Oh, no, he was on all that.

Yeah, but he just wasn't a main character. But he was there. Amanda Bynes. Season 5. I'm looking at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is scary. Could you imagine you have kids and you think Nickelodeon is just a happy, fun place and I guess anything could happen anywhere.

And you just trust your kids around nobody, especially in Hollywoodllywood absolutely it's been kids coming out over the years i believe amanda bonds is the first one to actually speak well not not the first but she's the most popular kid to actually speak about something like this um and it just kind of fell to the wayside nobody ever like paid it any mind but yeah i'm glad there is a documentary shedding light on something like this especially if it is true that's right um more news lotto denies sunday service it's a diss track uh lotto lotto wanted to clear up some things about her new single um sunday service she went on live baby didn't nobody say that song with no fucking hum then nobody said that y'all just be just jumping to conclusions didn't be mad at me i ain't never said that. It's a motherfucking in there.

But I ain't said that with no fucking dissonance. And I did not say that. I mentioned the song. They asked me, blog said, lot of new trap. I'm written this shit like, who the fuck said that? Be mad at yourself for believing your own assumptions. I ain't never said that song with no dissonance. Who the fuck said that song was a diss song?

Y'all know how I get down with a diss song. Stop playing. Yeah, I mean, and to her point, when I heard Sunday Service, I mean, I did say it was like, I didn't say it was weak, but I was just like, I mean, those two or three little bars, the four bars about Spice,

I just felt like, you know, that was a little smack on the wrist. She could really go in if it was a diss. We know a lot of Overs. Remember I said last week, I said she was in a Sprinter and she was playing a snippet. Is this probably the video

that the Sprinter be having? Because if you ever go in a Sprinter, they just always have videos on. Right, right, right. And that's the exact same thing she said. She said it wasn't going to I, Spice. It's not a full-fledged diss track, but she did imply that it possibly

could be a lot of smoke. I mean, she pulled up to the Bronx in 20 different Ubers. The 20 car services. But this was after. And she went to the Bronx. But Ice is the one that went and made it like that. You put me in the back of your little weak-eyed snippet.

That's what she said. You put me in the back of your little weak-eyed snippet. Who plus one was Ice Bice last night at the Super Bowl? Taylor Cousins. They that cool? She opened up for Taylor on tour. They did.

Remember? Y'all remember that? I actually reported that up here. Yeah, they had a song. They had a song? They had a song, too. Damn. Taylor gonna be on Fart Remix America.

Y'all knew that? But that's what I'm saying. Ice Spice actually said Fart was a diss track before anybody even figured that out. And people were still like, in question, like, it is? You know what I mean? So, I mean, that could have been about anything.

But Lotto also went on Million Dollars Worth a Game. Shout out to Gillian Wallow. And she clarified it more. Ice Spice being in the back in that video, was that the record? Yeah, you came right to it.

I did not do that on purpose. Right. But f*** it, like. And she took it like you did it on purpose. But f*** it. And she took it like you did it on purpose. Oh, well then let's do it then. It wasn't like that. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't like that.

I swear to God. It wasn't like that. Mind you, I'm in Houston having a ball, leaving the club drunk as f***. I'm like, let's make a little TikTok to this song. So before she came out and said she was talking about you, did you know she was talking about you? Oh no, I didn't know that song was about me until she said it was about me. I don't mind the rap and sport of it. This is a sport.

For sure. This is like basketball. Oh, you say you better than me. Take these bars with you. Now let me hear what you got. And she did give Ice Spice bars on this record. She did. Yeah, yeah.

A couple of them i mean if somebody tell me if somebody said like because i what i think is sunday service was probably already done like she was already done it was done she was just probably like waiting to put it out you know what i mean doing all the promo for it and then ice spice says fart was about you all right let me go back in the booth you know what i mean let me go back in the booth and give you a bar you know what i mean give you a bar too like You know what I mean? Give you a bar too. You know what I'm saying? I just, I feel like, I don't know.

So is Hiss and Nicki Minaj diss records? Because all Nicki got was a bar. Maybe two. It was a diss record, but I think she dissed everybody.

Nicki was just the only one who felt it that hard and talked about it for a week. That was it. You know what I mean? But nobody else, she talked about other people

in there, they just didn't say anything. That's true. Moving forward, Jada Pinkett Smith scares off home invaders. tmz reported that two men in hoodies showed up to jada pinkett smith's house uh it wasn't the calabasas home that she shared with will smith um they climbed up on her balcony but jada reported uh jada reported scared them she reported lee y'all come on spell it right scared them off before they could enter the home i wonder what she did she's from baltimore i understand but like yeah she me but at the same time

so this is not the house that she has a will no no no no no and police were called but the men were gone by the time the police arrived um it's unclear if the men specifically targeted targeted jada's home or if it was just a random attempt targeted it's unclear if the men were retarded if they specifically targeted Jada's home or if it was a random attempt to rob a wealthy home

we got audio back then from when y'all was trying this is of y'all this is of y'all saying This is of y'all. I wish you had audio of the Tardy Burglar. That would be amazing. Play the audio, Red. Take off the drug dealer coat, Jada.

Is that a drug dealer coat? You're giving drug dealer energy. Am I giving you drug dealer energy? I never, when I read that in the book, I was like, Jada Pinkett Smith was in the streets like that. But when you walked in, I'm like, oh, I see it. I see the little kingpin. The little kingpin. I'm sorry about that. I can the streets like that. But when you walked in, I'm like, oh, I see it.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better.

At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Jha.

because the nfl let andre day perform Lift Every Voice and sing commonly known as the Black National Anthem. Now, last night, just like at many a sporting event, more than one national anthem was sang. They do it all the time, especially in boxing. If there's a fighter from another country, someone will do their national anthem. I've seen the Canadian national anthem, the Mexican national anthem, saying it happens all the time. And in a sport that has a very high percentage of black players, performing the black national anthem makes sense to me.

And Andrea Day performed it last night. Can we hear a little bit of the black national anthem, please? Lift every voice and sing. Come through, Andrea. Till earth and heaven ring. Come through, Andrea. Okay. Now, Representative Matt Gaetz said on X, they're desecrating America's national anthem by playing something called the Black National Anthem.

Mike Lojic said, there's no such thing as a Black National Anthem. We are all Americans united by our great and beautiful star-spangled banner. The Super Bowl is supposed to bring us together. It's a disgrace that the NFL decided to push the politics of racial division again. C.J. Pearson wrote on X, before tonight's Super Bowl, as a young, black and proud American, let me make myself clear. There is only one national anthem as there is only one United States of America. And it's for everyone, white, black, yellow and even maroon. He said the left's agenda of division isn't just needless. It's exhausting.

Listen, man, have any of y'all ever stopped to think there would be no division if y'all didn't cause it if they would simply acknowledge the black national anthem for what it is okay there wouldn't be an issue and what it is is a promise of the freedom liberty and justice america promised all people under the constitution okay it was written at a crucial time in american history right when jim crow was replacing slavery and African-Americans were searching for an identity of their own. Author and activist James Weldon Johnson wrote the words of the poem, which his brother, John Rosamond Johnson, then set the music. So if you believe in the freedom of all Americans, if you believe in equality for all Americans, if you truly do believe in liberty and justice for all, the lift every voice and sing wouldn't bother you.

Not even a little bit. OK, it was first performed in Jacksonville, Florida, to celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Abraham Lincoln, you know him, right? He issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves. The song was written as a hopeful appeal for the liberty of black Americans. It was the promise of freedom. If you don't like the song, then you simply don't like seeing black people free. I don't expect Matt Gaetz and Mike Lloyd Chick like seeing black people free i don't expect matt gates and mike loichick to notice but cj pinson you're a black person you have to know this okay

lift every voice and sing is so american and it's not something you should look at as anti-american if you do indeed believe that there should be freedom liberty and justice for all people if you believe that then you should look at this song the same way you look at the national anthem and the star spangled Banner. Not to mention Reba McEntire sang the National Anthem and Post Malone did America the Beautiful. So all aspects of America were represented last night. So I don't understand how come when people from other countries come here and participate in sporting events and their National Anthem is saying it don't bother nobody. But anytime black people get some acknowledgement as proud citizens of this country, it's a problem.

Imagine Matt Gaetz. Imagine Mike Lloyd Chick. Imagine CJ Pearson. black people get some acknowledgement as proud citizens of this country it's a problem imagine matt gates imagine mike loychick imagine cj pearson imagine y'all simply said it's great to see the black national anthem acknowledged at the super bowl think about how that acknowledgement would bring people together you know we live in a world full of sheep and folks just be sitting around waiting to know how to feel about things they literally go on social media and wait to know how to feel about certain things and events if you all had simply said good for the nfl for acknowledging our black americans with the black national anthem that would collectively bring people together but like most things black in this country you simply tried to write it out of history and tell people that it doesn't really exist. You all could have created energy and rhetoric that caused unity.

But instead, you decided to cause division. Please give Matt Gates, Mike Lloyd Chick and C.J. Pearson the biggest. Yeah. I mean, that's that's just as exhausting as y'all think the left's agenda of division is, in my opinion. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, Dr. Kamisha Grant will be joining us. She is the vice president for Community Impact and Investment Food Bank for New York City. That's right.

Salute to the food bank, man. I'm doing a very great partnership with the food bank that we'll talk about next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, Charlemagne, for not calling the brother dead. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. He is the vice president of Community Impact and Investment Food Bank for New York City. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Dr. Kamisha Grant.

I'm excited to be here and I'm looking forward to talking about the work that we're doing at Food Bank for New York City and our partnership. Let's talk about it. What does the Food Bank do? So Food Bank for New York City, we are the largest hunger relief organization in New York City. We serve 1.2 million New Yorkers every year who struggle to afford enough food.

So simply put, we have 800 organizations across the city that provide free food to anybody in need. All you need to do is just get online and you attest to need just by being there. I was blown away when I went last year in Harlem because like you said, not only do y'all have a line of people that y'all serve hot meals to, you actually provide groceries. We absolutely do, Charlamagne. Thank you for coming out and doing that visit.

Groceries are so important because they allow families to cook at home. And that's where we want people to eat. We want them to be in their kitchens, over their tables with their families, eating together, loving on one another. And so it's really important for us that we're not only providing that individual who shows up on the line with that grocery bag, but in that bag, there's enough food for their entire family to last over a number of days. How long has the food bank been around? Wow, we've been in existence for 40 years. We celebrated 40 years this year. And in that time, we've done free meals for every year since our existence. And so we're going to continue to do that work.

How did you get into that work? How did you get into that form of service? So I've been with the food bank for 10 years now. And for me, it's personal. I grew up in NYCHA housing. We were on food stamps. My mom was a single mom and she worked really hard to make sure we had what we needed. And so for me, it's very personal and it's my passion. And I want to make sure that I can give back the same way that when we needed help, we were able to get that help. So you always had an interest in like hunger relief and food security prior to even being with the food bank. Yeah, I have my interest and passion is about service, right? And so for me, it's service and being able to serve wherever that is needed.

My background is in social work. And so my heart is really into serving and making sure that everyone has exactly what they need. And so through the Food Bank of New York City, I'm allowed and able to do that through food. How does the Food Bank get its food? How do they get their resources? Is it the government program or is it all independent? It's a combination of both, right? And so we work with New York State, New York City, private donors. And so every dollar helps and affords us to be able to do the work that we do.

It's really important for us that we're able to get donations. And every dollar that we get allows us to buy five meals for somebody who's hungry. And so every dollar, five meals? Every dollar, five meals. And so no amount is too small, right? There's no donation that's too small. We encourage anybody who's willing to support our mission to come on and help us out because any amount can actually make a great impact. How have hunger and food issues changed for better or worse since working there?

You know, I think the pandemic, as we all saw and witnessed, really made more people end up on our lines. A lot of people lost their jobs during the pandemic and are still reeling from the impact. And so loss of work, I think, coupled with increased cost of living, rent increases. So a lot of the families that we work with, they're making really tough choices. Should I pay rent or should I buy food? And, you know, seniors are looking at medication costs. They're like, can I get my medication today or should I eat? And so we know that our families are making really tough decisions every day. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it feels like organizations like the food bank, like they're the ones that should be getting all of

the funding, right right like if like these elected officials can't figure out how to you know put food on people's plates just give the resources meaning the money to the people who are already doing it so y'all can just continue to do what y'all do yeah and you know thankfully we are we are getting a lot of resources and support in our work um you know we know our constituents and their needs, and so that's a really important factor. We want to make sure that we can meet them where they are. It's not just food, right?

Anybody can help to give people just food, but we want to make sure they're getting the types of foods that they want. We want to make sure that the food is nutritious, so we give a large percentage of produce, fresh produce, because it's super expensive to buy in a supermarket. We want to make sure that there's culturally relevant food. And so we know that New York City is a melting pot. And so we want to ensure that not only are people getting a meal, but that they're getting the types of foods that really work for themselves and their families.

I was going to ask, when people need food, how does it work? Do they have to write you a letter? Can they just come online? How many times can they come online per week? How does it work? Do they have to write you a letter? Can they just come online? How many times can they come online per week? How does that work? Because, you know, it's you know, the sad thing about it is, is, you know, back in the day, people might look down on it. So they might be they might not want to go online and be seen online. So how does that work with the food bank? Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I mean, the first word that comes to mind for me and for Food Bank of New York City is dignity.

And we serve with dignity. And so you attest to need by just showing up. When you show up on any one of the lines of our over 800 pantries across the city, you're not going to be asked a bunch of questions. Right. You are going to get what you need. There are two questions that we want to know. How many people are in your household? One, because we want to give you enough food to serve your entire household. Right. And so just some basic information. And if you don't want to give us your name,

you don't even have to do that. And so it really is using discretion to ensure that when people come, they get what they need and they feel good about coming back because that's what's most important. All right, we have more with Dr. Kamisha Grant when we come back.

She's the Vice President for Community Impact and Investment Food Bank for New York City. We'll kick it with her some more when we come back. It's The Breakfast good morning morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with dr kamisha grant she's the vice president for community impact and investment food bank for new york city now you mentioned food is it outside of food as well is it uh toilet paper is it you know feminine products things like that as well or no? Yes, absolutely. And so those items, and thank you for asking that, are really important

for people who are food insecure. One, because you cannot buy those non-food items with your SNAP benefit. And SNAP, as you know, I'm sure is previously known as food stamps. And so it's really important for us to be able to have those non-food items, including baby items and diapers. Many of our families have small children in their homes. And so you can go to any one of our pantries and also be able to receive those items as well. And additionally, we also at Food Bank for New York City, our goal is to ensure that we're helping the whole person. And so we have the food, but we also can assess your needs for SNAP, your eligibility for SNAP, and make sure that you are connected to that benefit because SNAP is the leading benefit

that allows anyone who's food insecure to shop in a supermarket. And that's where we want people, not on pantry lines. We want them in the supermarket. And so you can go into any one of our pantries and they can actually work to ensure that if you are eligible, that you can get connected to SNAP. The Food Bank has been around for for you said 40 years and i've been doing radio for 20 years and i remember partnerships and hearing about the food bank a lot early on then it kind of slowed down a little bit and you didn't hear about it as much was it because of the funding was it because of covid what was the reason why because it seemed like it slowed down and i'm starting to hear it more and more and more now. Yeah, we've been doing this work. We've been steady for unfortunately for the past 40 years.

And I think just as you said, the increase and the influx really tied to the pandemic and also tied to the migrant crisis. Right. And just to really score. And I ask that after can migrants go as well? Yes. Yes. Anybody, anybody can go. Just don't let them cut the line over people that's from here. Anybody can go. It's going to be World War III if you do that. Yeah, there's a very, there's a very, our organizations have a very fair process. And so they are very intentional. They perform.

And you've seen our line, Charlemagne. You've been out. And so they form the lines and just make sure that everyone is there. They're getting what they need. You can get water while you're waiting in line. Again, it's about dignity. It's about service. It's about people feeling comfortable and knowing that this service is here for you. And we want to make sure that you understand that. And if you need it again, that you feel good to come back. And what are we doing? Because, you know, I saw the work that the food bank was doing, man. And I feel like that's one of the biggest things, you know, that people just want.

They're trying to keep food on their table. So, you know, y'all are doing that. So I want to help, you know, amplify that as much as I can. So what are we doing? We are working together, Charlamagne. We are so excited for this partnership. As you just stated, you have seen what we do and you have come on board to be one of our ambassadors. And we are so excited to have you.

Your platform is one that will help us to elevate the voices really around this issue. And so we're really grateful to have you as a partner. We're going to put you to work now. So get ready. Let's do it. Get ready. But we want to make sure that we can keep the word out there about the need in our city around food insecurity. And we want to make sure that as many people want to get involved, as many celebrities, as many just everyday people walking around who want to get involved, know how they can do that. And Kenan Thompson is one of the ambassadors as well, right?

Absolutely. Kenan is our ambassador as well. So you guys will be working together. And as I said, we're going to keep you busy. So we hope you opt for it. Let's do it. I mean, I'm all about keeping food on people's tables, keeping food in people's stomachs, man. Because every time you have conversations with everyday working class people, all they care about is up with mobility. And it's the basic necessities, right?

Keeping a roof over their head, keeping food on their plate. So y'all do a great job of doing that. So I'm very happy to be a part of what y'all are doing. We're so excited. So excited to have you on board. How can people get involved if they want to get involved how can they help how can they donate how can they volunteer how can they great question av i would say the first thing you want to do is go to our website so www.foodbanknyc.org on our website you can actually find ways to donate you can find ways to volunteer and to get involved in the fight and really elevate

your voice using our advocacy platforms and so that is really those are the three key ways that anyone who is interested in helping can join the fight and i think the donation part is you know great because like you said anybody can help one dollar can you provide five meals to people like come on go donate a dollar right now. Like, that costs you nothing. Right now. Absolutely. Alright, well, we appreciate you for joining us again. That's Dr. Kamisha Grant. And give them the website one more time. www.foodbanknyc.org

Alright, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilaria, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess. This is real.

This is real. Jess Hilaria, Jess with the Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Jess is going to bring you numbers. Jess with the mess. This is real. On the Breakfast Club. I know they know the difference.

Keep it a secret. Donna Summers and Ozzy Osbourne didn't clear samples for Kanye West. So Ozzy Osbourne was the first person to speak out against Kanye using his record Without Clearance. Kanye sampled a live Black Sabbath performance of War Pigs in a song Talking Once Again that he got with Ty Dolla $ign in Northie. And Ozzy Osbourne went on Instagram and said he asked to use permission to sample a section of my song, blah, blah, blah, and was refused permission because he is an anti-Semite and has caused untold heartache to many. He went ahead and used the sample anyway at his album listening party last night. I want no association with this man. Hmm.

Kanye can't be surprised at that. Yeah. with this man. Kanye can't be surprised at that. It was interesting though that Ozzy Osbourne made those statements about Kanye but then immediately the internet started pulling up receipts on him and they said in a 1982 interview he said he kind of admired Hitler. They asked him who do you think has influenced your stage show the most and he said

Adolf Hitler has charisma in a bad way and I kind of admired him. They're pointing out what they call hypocrisy that's one thing the internet will not let you do be a hypocrite they will not they'll find it yep shortly after donna summers estate also revealed that they denied kanye clearance of i feel love by donna summers um but he still used it on his song good don't die um they shared a statement on on the official donna summers instagram story it said

kanye west asked permission to use donna summers song i feel love he was denied he changed the words had someone else re-sing it or used ai but it's i feel love copyright infringement um take a listen to the original number two and then now let's play what Kanye did to it sound like somebody sang it over yes but I can just feel that it's going to be lit, that it was going to be lit. He is a genius.

Well, a lot of people was arguing in the comments like, wow, her estate just let Beyonce use it, but I mean, they have the right to... Beyonce didn't make anti-Semitic statements, y'all.

That's the point. Come on, man. Why we have so stupid and cool as air? I know. Beyonce didn't make anti-Semitic statements. Regardless, it's her song.

She can decide who she wants to clear it for and who she doesn't want to clear it for. Yeah, her state. By the way, this might impact Kanye more than anything

because if he can't sample the music he wants, because at the end of the day, music is the thing that he had left. But if they're blocking him from not being able to sample records,

oh man, that might impact him more than anything. Because then what do they do? Just walk around looking stupid and all leather in the summer? With a face mask, yeah. No, I think he would just create. That would push him in his creative bag.

I think the answer to this is people should start sampling his stuff. Well, I mean, it's a sample of a sample. They do, but, you know, Kanye's like a sampling master. Yeah, like he's been able to pull out sounds that nobody has ever heard. And the way he puts them together just sounds amazing. And like Charlamagne said, if he can't do that, and that's what he does, and that's what he's been doing, that's going to hurt. What happened to the 40-minute apology he was coming out with? Wasn't it a four-hour apology?

Four-hour? It was supposed to be some long apology. No, it was like a two-hour, I thought they said. What happened to it? I don't know. Jesus. I know we better be included. That's a long time god all right oj simpson undergoing treatment for prostate cancer um oj simpson is currently

battling prostate cancer for those who didn't know he's receiving chemotherapy treatment in las vegas reports were circulating that he was in hospice and he said this to that hey x world hospice hospice you're talking about hospice? No, I'm not in any hospice. I don't know who put that out there, but whoever put that out there, I guess it's like the Donald Singh. Can't trust the media. In any event, I'm hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is well, you know. So, hey, guys, take care. Have a good Super Bowl weekend. Yup. What's up, y'all?

I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture.

my man B-Dot drops a podcast called I Didn't Know, Maybe You Didn't Either, and he talks about things that you may not have known about black history. And today he's going to tell you about the summer of 1985 with the bombing of the MOVE organization in Philadelphia. Listen. Massacre Monday. City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Year nineteen hundred and eighty five. Now, this was crazy to me. In 1985, a lot of us were alive.

You dig what I'm saying? Living life. Also in 1985, there were folks dying by the city of Philadelphia while living in Philadelphia. I first have to introduce you to the MOVE organization. M-O-V-E, MOVE. It's not an acronym John Africa founded it and he said he wanted the name of the organization to be exactly what they intended to do move everything that's alive moves I respect it now everybody that was part of the

move organization that was founded in 1972 all warlocks so this group moved into some row homes in the cobb's creek neighborhood in philadelphia pennsylvania now in 1978 they did have a standoff with the police department of philadelphia which resulted in a police officer being killed they deemed about 10 people responsible for that and gave them all between 30 and 100 years so from 1978 to 1985, there were still some things going on, but Move, the group, had actually moved to the Cobbs Creek neighborhood. Now, if you're like me and not very familiar with Cobbs Creek, that area's in West Philadelphia. Now, be clear, the neighbors had complained to the city for years about trash around the building, confrontations with the neighbors, bullhorn announcements of political messages by the MOVE members.

So the police got arrest warrants, and by 1985, they was charging four of the MOVE occupants with crimes, noise violations, contempt of court, illegal possession of firearms, terroristic threats. Now, the police evacuated the residents of the neighborhood before they mobbed on the row of homes occupied by the MOVE members. They told those residents you can come back home in 24 hours. Monday, May 13th, 1985. 500 police officers. City Manager Leo Brooks is out there and they're attempting to clear the building and remove the move members and execute

these arrest warrants they cut off the water they cut off the electricity this is 5 a.m and they tell the move members attention move members this is america you have to abide by the laws of the united states you have 15 minutes to come out and when they didn't they decided to forcibly remove those people in there seven adults six children they throw tear gas the police use over 10 000 rounds of ammo by 2 p.m the order was given bomb the compound it was a pennsylvania state police helicopter and they dropped two one and a half pound bombs of FBI supplied C4 on the roof of that house. The bombs exploded after 45 seconds. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police Department dropped two bombs on the residence in its own city where they knew seven adults and six children were.

They killed 11 people in that house. Six adults, five children. 250 people were homeless as 61 of the neighboring houses were destroyed because of the fire. They weren't able to come home 24 hours later. Philadelphia, the city that bombed itself. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know. All right,'t either. I didn't know.

All right, salute to B-Dot. Yes, and listen, I want to tell y'all too, man, if you want to know more about the bombing of MOVE in 1985, me and Kevin Hart, we put out a project called Summer of 85 on Audible through our company, SBH Productions.
