It's a Tuesday. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news next. We'll break down everything that's happening. Your man Trump is working. He's doing a lot. How many days has he been in office?

First of all, he's saying he's working and doing a lot. No, they're taking a wrecking ball to the infrastructure of the federal government. And I feel so sorry for all the federal workers that are constantly losing their job every single day. Yeah, we'll break that down when we come back. And of course, get it off your chest. So if you need to get some things off your chest, 800-585-1051, you can hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Chess Hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne the guy We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news All right now so quick sports they say the Eagles have not received a White House invitation after Super Bowl win But they say plan to accept it if invited. So who put that lie out there that they didn't Somebody just put that lie out there and said that they didn't accept the invite? That's what they're saying.

Jesus Christ, well I'm telling you, a lie will go around the world three times on the internet before the truth even puts on its shoes. Well good morning Morgan! Good morning DJ Envy, Charlamagne the God, Jess Filarious, how y'all doing on this Tuesday? Peace Morgan. Alright, let's get into it. So President Trump, he's praising Elon Musk about this email that doge email that went out Department of Government Efficiency to federal workers asking hey what did you do

last week? He said the email was genius and suggested the government may be paying people who don't exist or don't even work there. Federal workers had until midnight last night to respond to that email Musk initially sent said or he initially said, no response will be taken as a resignation. But last night, he posted on X that federal workers will be given another chance to reply. So another email went out saying federal employees will be given another chance to reply. I believe that new deadline is Wednesday. Now some agencies have

directed their employees to completely just ignore the email. There's other saying don't even open it because if you don't open it, you never saw it quote unquote. So let's take a listen to President Trump's comments on that email and how he feels. I thought it was great because we have people that don't show up to work and nobody even knows if they work for the government. So by asking the question, tell us what you did this week. What he's doing is saying are you actually working we're trying to find out if people are working and so we're sending a letter to people please tell us what you did last week if people don't respond it's very possible that

there is no such person or they're not working what about the person who just got hired what are they supposed to say that they did last week don't the people are managers and aren't managers you managers watching over a certain amount of employees right? That's how it works? You would think? Man listen, I want to say salute to all the Republicans like the Cash for Tiles and the Toasty Gabbards and the Pete Hex steps.

I don't care how you feel about them. The ones who are standing on it. Yeah, I don't care how you feel about them. I'm glad that they told their employees to ignore that email from Elon Musk. That's just not a sophisticated way to find out who's doing what in federal government. It's just that simple. Well, let's take it a step further. Did you know the response to the email that federal workers to list what they accomplished will be read by AI? So sources tell in news that replies to the Elon Musk-directed email will be fed into an AI model which determine if their jobs are necessary.

So the report says the information the workers submit will go into an advanced AI system that understands, generates and processes human language. AI system, that is, yeah, okay. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which is the original DOGE, sent an email to government employees on Saturday asking them again to list the five bullet points of what they accomplished last week. And again, like I said, Musk said, if you don't respond to that email, then I will be taken as a resignation. But can you believe AI is going to be the determining factor?

And that's the problem. That's why when Elon Musk was comparing Doge to the National Partnership for Reinventing Government that Clinton initiated in the 90s. The difference was Bill Clinton actually worked with federal agents and civil servants and private sector experts when he was seeing where he could trim the fat. He wasn't dealing with AI and sending out emails saying, hey, tell me what you did last week. I will tell you, I got quite a few calls yesterday from some sources I won't reveal and I will say that from the inside I'm getting that this is quite the farce. A lot of people are saying that you know well I'm gonna

work on bringing you guys some exclusive inside tea but I want to make sure that my sources are protected for once and you know the federal workers who are kind of like the first-timers they're they're reeling but some of the you know OGs they're like man please. know Morgan you know you protect your sources just don't say who they are okay all right yeah all right so President Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron met at the White House yesterday the two leaders spoke about efforts to end the war in Ukraine trade deals between between the two countries and Trump Also said the bond between France and us is strong. Let's hear more from President Trump

Today's a big day and that we had a g7 President mccrone was very special man in my book We were together. We did it together. We've had some very good talks with Russia. We've had some very good talks with others and we're trying to get the war ended with Russia and Ukraine. And I think we've come a long way and a short period of weeks. The relationship's been very special with France and very special with this gentleman on my right. And we look forward to keeping that going for a long period of time. No, that's almost like you and Envy, Charlamagne. No.

So they actually like each other. Not just for work. So the two said they will also, yeah, I've mentioned that they talk about trade deals and of course Macron is the first European leader to visit the White House since Trump's Second term began UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to arrive on Thursday for a meeting with Trump's I'll keep you guys posted as to what's going on It's so mad. It's like I'm all Seriously salute to all the families out there being affected by the federal funding cuts man, you know people with disabilities Veterans elderly people one of my homies yesterday in Alabama was telling me that Easter Seals got gutted

you know Easter Seals is an American 501 nonprofit that provides disability service services and they have additional support areas for veterans and military families and seniors and caregivers and you know one of his family members was going there three days a week now it's just gonna be a one day a week because of how bad they got gutted. Yeah, so they are they are really affecting You know everyday working-class people in a real way with this foolishness Not to mention tariffs are on the way. We'll talk more about my god All right.

First I would say good morning, y'all. Good morning, Don. Good morning. Morning. I'm from Florida. And I just want to get off my chest. It's been hard lately trying to be happy. And I used to have a lot of suicidal thoughts

and a lot of depression going on. And I had to confront it recently before it got worse. And honestly, it's been a great journey that I've ever since confronted it. And I just wanna tell everybody, just take that first step. Don't wallow in your depression and anger. Talk to somebody.

Don't matter who it is, just talk to somebody. I totally agree. Yeah, did you talk to a therapist or pastor? I did have a therapist for a little bit but it just wasn't for me it wasn't working. I didn't think we were getting anywhere so I had to talk to a mentor of mine, a spiritual mentor that I have and she actually gave me some clarity. You know I got both brother I got a therapy and I got a some clarity. You know, I got both, brother. I got a therapy and I got a spiritual leader. Sometimes you just gotta find a mentally competent therapist. I mean, therapy isn't for everybody.

But I think you should probably give it another shot. Just try to find somebody who's culturally competent, man, that actually, that you don't gotta explain things to. Yeah, I agree with that. I just didn't wanna, I didn't feel I wanted to, I don't wanna go searching anymore down that route. I wanted to go back to the root, and which is me dealing with my spirituality.

I love that, you know, I believe in God and therapy. That's what I say all the time. Yeah. All right, brother. Well, I'm glad you're doing better, brother. And if you look at, if you ever wanna give therapy another shot, go to mentalwealthrealliance.org, man. And go to the Contact shot, go to mentalwealthalliance.org, man. And go to the Contact Us segment on mentalwealthalliance.org and somebody will get back to you.

Tell them exactly what you're looking for. Say I'm looking for a coachly, competent therapist. That's it. Okay, all right. I'll give that a shot. All right, bro. Have a good one, man. All right, you too.

All right, dawg. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club Is it your time to get it off your chest wait, wake up whether you're mad or blessed It's time to get up and get something call up now 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club Hello, who's this?

E money from Washington DC. What's up? E money get it off your chest Uh, yeah, first off. I want to say good morning to all three of y'all I'm looking for y'all in the morning. Y'all get me through get on this ghetto government base every morning at 5 a.m Oh, thank y'all You just be happy you still got a job Uh, yeah, well, you know these letters and stuff that comes out, that's what I want to get off my chest. This is real. You know, this this the emails that we get

sent every day, the threats that we get sent every day, we have a meeting on a by daily basis about what to expect, and whether or not you're gonna have a job or not. And it's real and it's frustrating. What do you work at in the federal government? What do you work at exactly?

The Navy are. I'm within the Navy. And they just taking a wrecking ball to the infrastructure of the government. They're not even looking at what they're cutting. They're just making cuts. Making cuts, don't care, none of that. Getting onto the Navy base could take you about 30 to 45 minutes.

First thing in the morning is already frustrating. And then you gotta come in and turn your emails on and you get a whole bunch of blasts of, you may need to respond to this or don't respond to this. If you don't respond to this, you know, Trump is going off and you may lose your job. This is a problem. How distracting is that for you

and just other people that work there and when y'all are actually trying to do your job? You can't focus because you don't know what's going on. Prime example, we had a meeting yesterday. One girl, she did take the resignation offer. Unfortunately, there's no funding. She's not getting no money. She's upset.

Also, she took the resignation office offer and realized that the resignation offer wasn't even a real offer. Because there's no money? There's no money. Wow. So guess what? They don't get paid.

Jesus. And she went off in a meeting in front of all the, you know, There's no money? There's no money. Wow. So guess what? They don't get paid. Jesus. And she went off in a meeting in front of all the, you know, higher ups. And you know, that's a distraction for the rest of the day because that's all we talking about. She's a same-ass. Right. On a scale of one, the Kanye West on Twitter, how chaotic is this situation?

Yeah, it's off the chart. Damn! Damn! It's off the chart. It's off the chart. At this point, some of us, we just say we just, this, we work at the ghetto and it's the project. Yeah, I just don't understand how they can think that this is productive in any way, shape or form. It's not a sophisticated way to do things. I don't have no problem with what Doge is doing in theory, once again if you you know have ever studied history you know that you know Bill Clinton did something like this you know in the 90s with the National Partnership for Re-Inventing Government but it's a way to do it.

This isn't the way to do it. No this is not the way to do it. Well thank you E-Money. This is totally the wrong way but to move to all my soldiers and federal workers out there it's a lot. Well, we appreciate you Yeah, everything you got work. You got to work with federal agents. You got to work with civil service Civil servants you got to work with people in the private, you know sector, you know And most importantly when you decide to make cuts you got to work with Congress That's right Donna good way to do this That's right. Donna, good morning. It's a lawful way to do this. It's a constitutional way to do this.

Good morning, good morning, good morning guys. Now Donna, you're a federal worker as well, right? Yes, I am. Talk to us. You know, you guys, if Elon Musk is monkey of the day, and I drive a Tesla, this is just, they're sowing so much of this thing, so much

anxiety, right? Just because the low-level workers are the ones who are being affected the most, right? Just because the low level workers are the ones who are being affected the most, right? Let's be real. Everybody knows the people, all of these special authority hires that are making over 200,000 that haven't been in the office since COVID, you know who they are. So target them. Stop shooting at everybody. Like in my office yesterday, there was so much confusion, not to say that they're not working. We've been in the office through the pandemic, after the pandemic, but it's just to know that if you don't,

oh, what do I write? If I don't write it right, am I gonna have a job tomorrow? Like these people are struggling. So I think it's all wrong. I think all of these politicians coming out saying, oh, absolutely, he's right. What are you doing with your $250,000 a year that you make?

Like you get what I'm saying? Like stop shooting at people who are really trying to pay their bills and took federal jobs To service the public because that's what most of us do. So I think this is horrible I think Trump needs to learn a lesson fast and take away his privileges take away his Twitter privileges Whatever needs to happen because this is disgraceful man. We thank you for your service. I keep telling everybody, man, just go study what Bill Clinton did in the 90s, man. Somebody who used to work for him named Elaine Carmack, she said the difference between what we did and what they're doing, we cut fat and they cut muscle. That's what she said. She said, you know, we didn't have any meltdowns of agencies, we didn't have any dysfunction going on, and we obeyed the law.

When we thought something was wrong, we sent it to Congress and asked them to change it. There's a smart way to do what Elon or Doge says they want to do. This isn't the smart way. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got Jess with the Mess coming up. What are we talking about? We're going to get into Joanne Reid losing her job. When we first heard the news, y'all know she broke down and everything, but her last show last night on MSNBC, she stood on 10 toes.

So we're going to get into that. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. And I forgot to tell y'all, 8 a. have a major announcement here on the Breakfast Club, okay? 8 AM, right before Donkia today, we have a major announcement, so stay tuned. Alright, well let's get to Jess with the mess. The news is real, whether it's Hilarious, Jess, or Robby Moore, Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying.

She don't scare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide messin'. On the Breakfast Club. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide method. On the Breakfast Club. She's a coacheship. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it all.

So before we get started on anything else, I know we wanted to pay some, shed some light on Roberta Flack, the singer who died. Yes, just really quickly, we want to send a rest in peace to Roberta Flack. She is famously known for her rendition or singing killing me softly. And she passed away. She passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family. She had been battling some house stuff she talked about in 2022 that she had ALS. So she had been battling that as well too. So I just wanted to take a moment for her. We do have her original rendition of Killing Me Softly,

which I know a lot of people know from Fuji. That's not a rendition though. That's the OG. That's the original. Yeah. Oh, okay. If I said it, if you interpreted that from what I said, that's not what I meant.

That's the original. Yeah, she is the original. I said a lot of people may know it because of the renditions that like the Fugees and stuff. Like you learn something new every day because I had no idea that that wasn't the Fuji song No when she passed away I was like why I did not know that you know what I mean So I've been going on a deep dive of her first of all she was

Just gorgeous So just wanted to take that moment from the DMV area she was a teacher and she taught jazz in schools and helped out with communities that needed it and then she became a singer and she's had a bunch of records. That's what's up. The first time I ever saw your face? The first time I ever saw your face, she's 88 years old, passed away at 88. Wow. She lived a full life then.

Yes. Joy Ann Reed, her last episode on MSVC was last night? Yes, so this news. She wasn't playing, she wasn't crying last night. No, she wasn MSNBC was last night? Yes. So this news- She wasn't playing. She wasn't crying last night. No, she wasn't. On the show. Last night she stood 10 toes down.

I thought she was going to get emotional on the readout on MSNBC because last night was their last show on the network, but she did not. However, when the news was first announced Sunday night, the readout was abruptly canceled on Sunday night, she came onto was abruptly canceled on Sunday night. She came on to a 10 minute zoom call with women, black women. That's the organization that helped raise all that money for Kamala Harris. And she was speaking just about the impact of her show and she did get emotional then. So let's, let's go back there and then we'll do what happened last night. Let's take a listen to her with women with black women.

My show had value and that I'm sorry, what I was doing had value. And so what I will just say is that in the end, where I land is that the moment of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young baby or a mom or a dad that was killed or when we opened up people's eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted and not just black folks that or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but come to this country like my parents and try to make a life, whether it's any of these issues and where I come down on that is I'm not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those things because those things are of God. Well, obviously that's why her show is gone. She was just the same thing kind of happened with Dawn Lemon, right? Yeah. I mean, people will argue. So for instance, not for instance, but when the announcement was made, they said that it was because of like their rearranging programming, like kind of like we going in a different direction, we have new things come in, they are replacing her show with another show that Simone Sanders is on. But you know, there are people on the other side that are saying this is happening

because joy speaks out. She's is she's not going to fold. She's not going she's telling people like, hey, she goes with things, wakes people up to certain things. Exactly and Rachel So so last night on MSNBC on the readout Joy and Read She came in pretty high and heavy, you know, just just talking about you know resisting certain things Let's take a listen to her I'm sorry. Let's take a listen to Rachel Maddow on whites losing their job because a lot of people feel like whites losing their job. Yes, because a lot of people feel like the joy and reading that is happening because she's a black woman in a on a network cable

show that speaks in goes against the grain. I will tell you it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got to count them to non white hosts in primetime both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows as is katie fang on the weekend and that feels worse than bad no matter who replaces now that feels indefensible and i do not defend it yeah so last night on msnbc in that episode when she opened i didn't know what to expect. I kind of thought that it was going to be like, Oh my god, I'm so sad. Like, and it wasn't that she was very strong in these things are happening. We are not going to get around it. And here's what we need to do.

And I thought that it was a great program. People were given a network credit for being so gracious to her as she exited. But I thought that that was BS because if they were gracious, they wouldn't have canceled her. They have her voice on. But she's going to be be fine I think that she can go to non-traditional like she can go right to straight to social media like a lot of other people are doing right now so you know wishing her the best and I know there were a ton of people that were sending her some love Angela Rye hashtagged we need joy and sent her some love as well

too Don Lemon was a big supporter of her last night a ton of people like Tiffany Cross I was hearing people say that Tiffany Cross was actually there yesterday, Native Land podcast when Joy was. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons and birds, but what if there's something else,

something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night? Silent. Unseen. Watching. They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't. Oh that is beyond creepy.

Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely. Listen to Obscurum, Invasion of the Drones, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Filming her last episode on MSNBC. Well it's amazing though because it's still a good thing for her because over the five years she had a show, what like five years? Yeah about five years. Yeah like all the people that she built up, the viewers and all of that, the fans, stuff that she built up, they're going to go wherever she go. Like I do believe it.

But I just want to know why. That is true. Why? Everything y'all saying is true. Joy Reid will be fine. She can do whatever she wants because as you just said, Jess, she has an audience and whatever she chooses to do next, I pray her audience follows her. But I want to say this.

I was reading, according to Nielsensen media research She lost half her viewers in December because MSNBC saw a 53% drop in prime time Viewership after the election when you see stuff like that the way everyone mobilized to watch her last night They should have done that in December because when you have the numbers it makes it very hard for folks to just get rid of you So I wish that people would come together to support before something bad happens somebody gets fired you know I just let go to come and support when you see those numbers drop back in December that's when everybody should mobilize and say oh you know what we got to go support somebody who's always riding a lot of people don't see those numbers though. How was somebody supposed to know that? Yeah, people don't know those numbers. But I think- They didn't too, she is let go.

It's not like this information didn't go out there back in December. Did it? Also too, I would just say, I make it a point, she's one of the people I make it a point to tune into because I understand what she's doing and on the network that she's on. And just cable news in general, especially right now with this new administration- It's slow, it's nice. They don't want that, a lot of times I feel like they don't want that. So I try and tune into her as much as I can actually on cable news and on streaming

But last night was such an event. I'm like man. I haven't felt like this since the pandemic We have a rally like this since honestly the last time Once again, don't wait until the funeral to show up and tell everybody how much you love them And then you're like damn why we always got to meet when it's a funeral people Support folks when they're on the air when you see things like a 53% drop in primetime viewership That's when everybody should mobilize and say you know what we got to show up To make sure those numbers are up so they can't just do what they just did to joy and read absolutely all right That's one let you know my mom's texting me my mom said that Roberta flack actually she won four Grammys one honorary Grammy

So five and full and she was the young one of The youngest students to go to Howard University 15 Records y'all know the closer I get to you killing me softly the first time I ever saw your face Records that are way older than y'all. Of course. I mean, the first time I ever saw your face, that's the 60s. This the 60s?

What? Hell yeah. The first time I ever saw your face, that's gotta be late 60s. But y'all know what's crazy is, to your point of showing up before the funeral, a lot of people, I was watching them in real time, learned about her online yesterday because of the announcement of her passing. I was one of them. So thanks mom. Now that time you just don't know. I know right?

Mama Casey. Alright. I think it was the 70s Charlamagne. The first time I ever saw your face? Late 60s. Probably. First time I've ever seen your face? Late 60s could be going to the 70s. Y'all can meet each other halfway. I'd like to look that up. We wasn't alive man. Thank you Lord. Alright. Now when we come back, Morgan. I'd like to look that up. We wasn't alive, man. Thank you, Lord.

All right. Now, when we come back, Morgan will be joining us for Front Page News. It don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some Front Page News. What's up, Morgan? Yes, let's continue the conversation from the first hour. So speaking from the White House yesterday, President Trump says tariffs against Mexico and Canada,

well, they will move forward. He made the comments while speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron. It comes as a month long delay of their implementation will expire next week. Let's hear more from Trump as he moves those tariffs forward. We've been mistreated very badly by many countries, not just Canada and Mexico.

We've been taken advantage of. We were led by, in some cases, fools. Anybody that would agree to allow this to happen to our country should be ashamed of themselves. No, the tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule. Yeah. So the two countries, Mexico and and Canada could see 25 percent tariffs on all exports starting on March 4th Which is officially a week away that'll be next Tuesday. So again, some of those items could be avocados berries all kinds of all kinds of food of course coming out of

Canada there's you know, we have things that are impacting the auto industry, steel, so a lot of so, you know, Morgan, sometimes I can't keep up. I thought that they did that little dance, you know, a few weeks ago, but Canada and everybody agreed to it. And he said, he said he did the dance and y'all and y'all didn't do what I needed y'all to do. So I thought they did. I thought they did do what he needed. He's saying y'all didn't move like I need y'all to move So guess what the the terrorists will move forward that's essentially what's happening and how we know this ain't just another flex though This ain't just another you know what Charlamagne? I ain't gonna hold you every day I come up here and I'll be like this man better not change his mind before I get off air

But we really don't know, but as of right now, he did say he's gonna move forward with the tariffs, 25% on Mexico and Canada, and that would be starting on exports next week, March 4th. And then they gonna hit us back, and then the price of goods and products is just gonna go up more here in America,

so it's more pain on the American people's pockets. Yeah, and that's not efficient. Anyways, all right, so switching gears, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, he says Democrats have to stop the Republican budget plan from going through. Appearing on CNN's State of the Union over the weekend, Jeffries said only a few Republicans are needed to break ranks in order to prevent the government funding package from being approved this week, which could result in a government shutdown. Let's hear more from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the GOP budget.

What we do know is that the Republicans have the House, the Senate, and the presidency. It is their responsibility to fund the government. This budget is a betrayal of working-class Americans, of middle-class Americans, and of everyday Americans. And Democrats are going to continue to make clear that we will stand against the effort to end Medicaid as we know it. Stand against the effort to detonate Social Security or Medicare. Yeah, of course, they're also looking at major tax cuts for billionaires in that budget as well. And so the New York Democrat said that reckless budget proposals would cut vital programs that Americans rely on.

He also insisted that the Democratic Party remains committed to opposing President Trump's agenda, despite being a minority in both houses, both the House and both houses of Congress, basically the House of Representatives and the Senate. Hey man, please keep Hakeem Jeffries off TV. Let Hakeem operate behind the scenes. You keep saying that man.

How do we turn- Why do you say that? How do we turn Hakeem Jeffries off TV. Let Hakeem operate behind the scenes. You keep saying that, man. Why do you say that? How do we turn Hakeem Jeffries TV off? He is Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer's son. He talks just like them. Same old ideologies in a younger body. He's not the messenger or the fighter we need in this moment. Give me AOC. Give me Jasmine Crockett. Give me Ayanna Presley. Let Hakeem fight behind the scenes.

It's like every time he gets on TV, it's like the windshield wipers are going and it ain't even raining. Turn the TV off, turn the TV off. All right, so speaking of New York, bringing things home to you guys, Mayor Eric Adams, he is suing the Trump administration. We talked a little bit about this yesterday, Envy. This is over FEMA funds that were already paid

to the city and then rescinded. So Adam says the $80 million that FEMA approved, paid and then rescinded after So Adam says the 80 million dollars that FEMA approved paid and then rescinded after the city spent more than seven billion dollars in the last three years is a bare minimum of our taxpayer is the bare minimum our taxpayers deserve. And that's why we're going to ensure our city's residents get every dollar they're owed. Now City Hall also noted that the federal regulations in terms of the shelter and service program grant terms, which is essentially what those essentially where those funds came from, or what the funds were supposed to go to the shelter and service program, that the government actually violated the federal government's

authority and obligations to implement congressionally approved and funded programs. Now Adams also is calling out fellow Democrats for calling to push him out, pushing for his removal, saying it would have not been in sync with the country's values. Adams also praised governor Kathy Hoco, New York governor Kathy Hoco, and maintains that New York City is in fact a sanctuary city for migrants. Let's hear more from New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The governor must make her decision to govern the state. I must make the decision to govern the city. There's gonna be things we're going to agree on.

There are gonna be things we're going to disagree on. But we're going to come together and understand that we need to make this a safe place for our children and families. The city is a sanctuary city. That's what the law requires for us. So they should believe that is the case. But I cannot be any clearer.

If you come here thinking you're going to commit a violent crime, this is not the place for you. So yeah, he made those comments at a news conference yesterday and he rebuked his rivals, some of whom want his job saying removing him from office would undermine democracy and the will of the people. Now New York Governor Kathy Hoco said she did she chose not to remove Adams, of course, in regards to all of the drama that is surrounding him with the Justice Department and his charges that were dropped in or charges that were removed and things of that nature. Of course, the mayor continues to maintain his innocence and he denies it. That case, of course, has now been postponed

indefinitely. So Yeah, I see they they close in the Roosevelt Hotel, which they said has 1000 rooms, which was nothing but migrants. And they said they processed over 173,000 migrants. They said they're shutting that down in about the next 30 days, which is in the middle of Manhattan. Yes. And apparently a dozen other shelters by June as well.

So this goes to that, essentially what Adams was saying about it being a migrant city, but to this point, it doesn't seem like the migrants filled that confidence in Adams or the city. So the fact that what you said, the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan and dozens of others shelters will are expected to be shut down by June, the hotel on average received 4,000 migrants arrivals a week at one point, but that number has since dropped to 350 per week. So yeah, but the mayor, like I said, he insists that he the city still plans on providing humanitarian care. It doesn't seem like the city or the migrants in the city believe him. So I'll keep you guys posted

on that. But that's your front page news. Happy Tuesday.

They're my kids and I'm not going to lie to my kids and it is what it is his baby mom's like it's disgusting he has daughters what happen if his daughter thinks that okay that's okay and maybe I

could be one to a guy if he has three four or five women then he also got four sons who's looking at this too who's you know I mean yeah but and while I respect that he doesn't want to lie to his children I mean cuz he there are his children he can do whatever he want to his children and I mean cuz he there are his children He can do whatever he want with his children, right? I mean, it's just still like yo That's you got it. You got to think about that Like it's so it's programming your kids to think this is okay, right? Actually, it don't matter what these your daughters or your sons it it doesn't matter. This is not a good example in my opinion

No, so I agree with his baby mother, but the baby mother She also was a person who he was being polyamorous with too before like when he was married to Crystal He was cheating on Crystal with shorty. So you know, was it all one big happy family? No, no crystal didn't know Okay, but shot a new However, this shot a is the mother the mother to the kids that got the problem with him introducing them to the full girlfriend I do agree with her on that end, but it's like you was once one of them to though Hey, you know, I just wonder how much money Neil got you got four girlfriends and how many kids seven? Yeah, damn. Well, you're must be getting some paper paper eight hundred. We don't even gotta be five eight five one

Oh five one. Do you think it's inappropriate for Neil to expose his kids to his new type of relationship? What kind of relationship is it called Polynesian Poly Poly Amorous? Thank you 8851051 let's discuss this the Breakfast Club good morning Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club top break it down 88510 to the Breakfast Club Topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's Topic Time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NVHS Hilarious,ane the guy, we are the breakfast club if you're

just joining us. We're talking about Neo. Now this conversation comes, salute to our bro Ricky Smiley. Neo was on the show and he talked about his new lifestyle. Do your kids have questions about that? About your relationships? Of course they do and I answer them. Yeah.

Okay. Honesty. Again, I'm not lying to nobody, not even my children. Hey, this is daddy's girlfriend, and so is that, and so is that, and so is that. You got no problem here, sir. And she gonna make you some cereal, and she gonna cook lunch, and she gonna wash clothes.

And it's all good. And it's family, it's community. Well, Ne-Yo's baby's mom, Shade, what's her name, Bernice? I'm just gonna say B. All right, Shade B. She says it's disgusting and she feels it's inappropriate for Ne-Yo to introduce their kids to his new lifestyle. So the question is, what's your thoughts?

Let's start with you. It is disgusting. I totally agree with her on the behalf of her kids. His kids, you're showing them something that they shouldn't even be exposed to at these ages. like yo you're showing them something that they shouldn't even be exposed to at these ages you know for seven kids I didn't even know he had seven kids but like exposing them to that is crazy and it's inappropriate however it was also inappropriate and disgusting that this man was married after renewing his vows you was pregnant right you know what I mean and that's why Crystal was like man f you after you you begged me to stay and we renew

our vows and everything and then now shorty Overhead pregnant so shawty you knew a bunch of this who you was once one of them girls, too But on the side of the kids is she's totally right so two things can be true at the same time She was disgusting before and the behavior is disgusting to Expose to their children right see I believe different strokes for different folks, right? Whatever Ne-Yo does to make himself, yeah there's a lot of strokes. And whatever Ne-Yo does to make himself happy is cool, but I put myself in that situation.

If I had daughters, right? That's not something I would want my daughters to see, because kids are sponges, right? So they're gonna accept and they're gonna think it's okay for that. So the next guy that kicks it to your daughter or kicks it to one of your children might feel like, oh, it's okay, I could be one of many children might feel like oh it's okay I could

be one of many and I wouldn't want that for my daughter and also for my son I wouldn't want my son to have four different wives or four different I ain't gonna say that I ain't gonna lie to you like that you know that wouldn't be like damn play god damn times have changed no you don't want that for your son man damn times have changed yo shut up man

son, son times have changed I didn't know back you don't want that for your son, man. Damn times have changed. Yo, shut up, man. Son, times have changed. I didn't know, back in my day, we weren't allowed those luxuries. That, that, what's wrong with you? So what's your thoughts? You would be cool with that for your son? I don't know if it's appropriate or not, but because everyone does what works for them,

you know, do it, you know, but if your kids are gonna be around your significant other, regardless of how many significant others you have, I guess if you're serious about these women, they should meet your kids. I just don't know how serious you can be with four women. You know what I mean? I don't see how serious you can be with four women.

That's always the debate. Should your children meet your significant other when? I don't know how serious you can be with four women, so I don't know if these women should meet your children. But what if you don't agree with that lifestyle? Yeah, and then what, all right, I know they met them. Alright you you introduce your kids to all four of them. If it was three it was another one that's on the roster now. She knew, she made the cut. So are you explaining to them what this is? Like

also if you're gonna introduce them explain to them what this is. This is called a polyamorous relationship. Teach them how to spell it, teach them the ins and outs of it. Don't just introduce me to full and be like yeah one can make you pancakes the other one can help you potty train. They gonna be so confused when they go to Chick-fil-A. You know what I mean? Polynesian sauce. My daddy got, wait a minute, my daddy got some of that at the house. Exactly. Let's go to the phone line. But I will say I do feel like the future is gonna be Polynesian sauce relationships. I think that's gonna be normalized. I do. I don't know about four but I can see men in the future having having you know

To to watch yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a lot of hurt people out there I don't feel like polyamorous just came out of nowhere I feel like that's that comes from trauma in relationships or whatever like nobody just wakes up and just want Big deal. Hey, can that big boy be with one one girl? Oh my man. He needs somebody to hold the hats I mean, I guess I don't know What's up man, What's your thoughts man? Loot the 840 your phone sound a little funky though. What's up, brother? Oh Yo, hey, man, I'm gonna shout out what's wrong with it? You know, polyandrous is going off the eons.

You got Cassidy, you know, on Middle East, Africa, just throughout the entire world. It's true. Then it's going on. And it's been, you know, benefiting the woman that we're being real because you got multiple wives in the home, that's for hands to help with the children, help cook, maintain the home.

And if you're going to be polyandrous as a man, I feel like you're expected to bring with the children, help cook, maintain the home, and if you're gonna be polyamorous as a man, I feel like you're expected to bring all the bread, help protect, and all the things that come with that. So if he's making money, like you said, Charlemagne, he's starting to got back kids, he's doing his thing, then I don't see no issues with everybody's happy, healthy eating.

And you don't think the Bible lied a little bit though? The Bible said Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, bro. Come on now, think about how European is worth. The Bible lied many times. You know, the European, they rewrote that shit how many times? Hey, let's be real, but I'm not even going based off the Bible. I'm going based off the world.

Yeah, that's how it is. Well let me ask you a question bro, you got any daughters? Yeah, I got two daughters. So would you mind if your daughter had a man with three other women? Would that bother you? You know that would be an interesting subject, but I will give everything to her. You just said it was cool, you just said it was okay. Or not even if she wanted to, not even that though. Not even that though, what about your daughter having four different dudes?

Yeah, I got four boyfriends daddy, yeah. Oh nah, nah that don't work. Yeah laying down all four of them in me, what's up? No, no that don't work like that. It does work like that. It's not the nature of fame. Nah I don't know anything about that. See not the nature of fame. I do know what he is saying is true though. I mean, you know in a lot of African countries men do have more than one wife.

Like that's just, you know, polygamy. You can't say that and then you say if it was with your daughter, nah, nah, nah, nah, I'm not waiting anymore. Well you just gotta show me if a woman had more than what I've been and I'm all for it. That's crazy, yo. So it's only about the man? Like the man the man can have four but a woman can't have four men I would want two beautiful black women. Okay Maya hey Maya, what's your thoughts? Yes I think neo is trifling. Um I have not been feeling me. Oh, thank you first baby

Mom, I'm yet up and he had kids with her and so he wasn't gonna have no more may her get her to Just to get remarried and have more kids. She don't that wife have more kids Here is slinging play that's what he had in life I don't play about my kids. Like I don't have been different men and stuff around my kids. I feel like he's not a full time dad. So like deal with your women when you don't have your kids. That's my, yeah, that's my thing. Thank you, mama.

He was like yo this one cooking the lunch and this one doing that. So they all fulfilling some type of duties you know

while the kids is there. And that's cool but not the kids you know that's cool for them to do but just spend your time with your kids they ain't got to be around my children. Yeah I guess that's that's what I yeah I just feel like you know I don't know how serious he could be taking these women to want to introduce them to hit his kids Outside of him doing nanny work Like you can't introduce all of them to somebody that you love and care about can you I don't know Yes, yes. Hello this Detroit down what up, Joe? What's your thoughts about the subject, I think if it's okay for schools and whatever to introduce LGBTQ topics into schools to the children, I see there's nothing wrong with you being

honest with yourself about your life with your child. It's all a taboo subject. Well we don't agree with that either. Well I'm not gonna speak for nobody up here I don't agree teaching LGBT. No, it's a lot that that's hot. That's totally different, but I don't I don't necessarily agree with the if you can't control what your children see in school. You're right Okay, so I guess Darrell saying if LGBTQ was introduced to school this lifestyle should be introduced as well

I know people listen to that and get upset But the reality is it's all subjective right like you know Some people don't agree with LGBTQ and they don't feel it should be introduced to kids like you know like so I Understand the sentiment of what he's he's saying right? Yeah, we have Mike on the line Mike good morning Good morning, guys. How we doing at the Brexler Club? What's up, Mike? Talk to us, brother.

Man, Neil is so selfish. He's greedy. He's trying to take all the women for himself. And real gentlemen, players like myself can't find a light-minded winner to get, you know, be on the same page. Maybe he's laying a blue-perk for you thing Well, maybe he's laying a blue for you brother Maybe he's laying a blue for you now you can say damn when you talking to these ladies like yo We can be on with with neo and his ladies on

Now that's true, but I mean him to call me back This guy's bringing up a good point There's some questions that I have that only Neo can answer. Because I'm not about to sit up here on this radio and knock Neo's lifestyle. If that works for him, that works for him. One question, what'd you ask him? I just want to know how he's pulling it off.

I wanted to, first of all, financially, just four women, he's pulling it off. I wanted to, first of all, financially, just four of them equal, and you got kids. Do you leave? Maybe. Is there a main, is there a one, and then that one and you dictate the other three?

Maybe it's days. How did you meet the other three? If me and a woman, say me and my wife in a relationship, and then we go pick up two others, is it just me doing the picking up, or is it a joint effort? Does your wife pick up? Now I've heard of that, yes.

There are couples that actually go and scout out women to bring home, yeah, that happens. That happens a lot in Baltimore. I've seen that. So maybe it's days, like this one has Monday, this one has Tuesday, this one has Wednesday, this one has Thursday, then we set. Man, I saw him kiss all of them on Valentine's Day.

Yes, all four of them. They travel with him at his shows. He kiss all four of them before stage, before we go on stage. Christmas gotta be expensive as hell. Valentine, I'm eating four of the j- on Valentine's Day! But my thing is, what if they all have jobs? What if he still make them work?

Like, come on now, y'all still, they gonna have to pull their weight. Cause you got seven kids and four women, that's eleven people to take care of. That's what I'm saying, that's a lot of money man. That's a lot. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Ty. Hey, good morning, what's your thoughts mama? Good morning, I'm just coming to say that Neo should be ashamed of his bow. He's delusional We know those three pictures going around the internet of neo that like no woman

To sit there and say that he is having sex appeal so they're living in this delusional land Now didn't yesterday y'all say y'all like medium ugly men. Yes, they did Sexy he's none of the above.. He has a face only a mother could love. I kind of was like, I've been over this. Hey, Ne-Yo is not. Hey, y'all stop playing. Ne-Yo not that damn ugly. She said not that damn ugly. What?

Now you know you need to stop. So yeah, I mean, once they get over this, this little phase in life and come out with their story, I just want to see if you get through this. So I'm talking about the woman. Because this is disgusting. Ne-Yo is not attractive. The music box slaps down. The face, I'm sorry.

No. So. Let me ask you a question. If Mufasa had four women. Aaron P.A. Yeah, y'all would understand? I don't think he's attractive either, to be honest with you.

Who do you think's sexy? I'm sorry. Who do you think's sexy? Damn. sorry. Who do you think's sexy? Um, damn. Whoever it was. I wouldn't want to be in a poly relationship. I just don't believe in that. I think that it's kind of like you wouldn't be doing that if you didn't have money.

Let's be honest. Oh, they wouldn't be with you if you didn't have money. I'm sorry. Just like. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds. But what if there's something else, something much more

ominous, that appears under the cover of night, silent, unseen, watching? They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used to work drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't. Oh, that is beyond creepy. Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely.

I mean everything is kind of for like, it's a lot of clout chasing going on these days. That's why I'm saying, he ain't even really gotta have money. It's just to be in the limelight.

A lot of people just like the fact that they're talked about on one of Neo's girlfriends. You don't think them girls doing something on the side, you think all them loyal to him? Why do we do anything for a new Zeus show or something? But it could be money. Like we talk about how bad it is out there there how expensive eggs are and how expensive rent is I gotta go give me a big

Like I do is be with him and do a couple shows I mean I feel yeah, I got rich I got a car. I got money, I got bags, I got clothes, I could just sit back and relax. I gotta do, help this little kid with homework. You right. Listen, I understand why the mother of his child feels that way, but I have no reason to. All right, I completely understand why the mother

of his child feels that way. But me personally, I just got some questions for Neil. I just wanna talk to the brother. I just want to talk to the brother. I ain't judging you. I'm actually kind of intrigued. Like damn, player, you pulling off what some people think could be their wildest dream. You all living your ancestors wildest dreams

because your ancestors used to do things like this. That's a lot of eating on Valentine's Day. That's a lot of work. Yeah, well, I know he probably won't come up here when I'm here, so I'm gonna have to, it's gonna be one of them days I'm off cuz I called all his girlfriends clowns all three of them So now I gotta call her clowns here cuz the other three come like how they call us

No machine call up when the clown tonight you call them all yeah And I know he he do not like when people talk about him neo do not like when people talk about him though Really? I told you he was my friend Neil's a good dude though, he's a really good person. I told y'all he was my friend. But I didn't realize my friend was like this. I didn't realize. And we gotta respect the honesty, right?

He not lying to none of these women. I said that in the beginning. I was talking about lying, not about the women. He wasn't lying, he didn't wanna lie to his kids. And I get that. Who was the girl in the video saying, calling him Diddy Jr. that time? That was funny. That was Sade.

That was the baby mother, the one that said that she can't believe. That was funny. That it's disgusting that he introduced one that said that she can't believe that it's disgusting that he introduced them. She sure did. Alright, well we got Jess with the mess coming up. Yes, Magda Stallion want her team to pull up to the jail to question Tory Lane. Alright, we'll get to that next. We'll play a Ne-Yo song. What Ne-Yo song you want to hear? Sexy Love. That's my favorite Ne-Yo song. I love Sexy Love. Does it make you feel different because you know it's playing for four different women? No. No, hell no. I still bump the knee all right. Yeah, but I like the one where he say the girl made the head stand up on the back.

That's sexy love. Sexy love. Let's get into sexy love. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious. Shalime and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. She gets you at least two girlfriends I don't know about full to be able to have to all right, but let's get to just with the mess On the breakfast club She's a coacheship. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it on. So Ne- girl not Ne- we still on our head. Girl no. Anyway, so Megan want these people to pull up her team to pull up the story, the question. Yes, what's going on?

Yeah, so Meg the stallions attorneys are asking or they did ask if they could depose Tory Lane's which is what they pull up They asked him a bunch of questions under oath while he's in prison as a part of a defamation in cyber-stalking lawsuit that they have against a blogger Who they say is working with three things now We covered this in part before where we talked a bit about the blogger and basically they're saying that Tory Lanez was paying this blogger and other third parties to spread negative things about Magda Stuyen. So they sent that request out and Tory Lanez spokesperson actually issued a statement that

said basically they never agreed to it because there were reports there was the conflicting reports so after that came out then there were reports like oh Tori's team agreed to it it's going to happen he's going to be able to do it and then Tori's team came out and said no we didn't they came out and said they basically are saying Meg the Saiyan's lawyers continue to try and give the appearance of this case against the blogger is successfully um it's successful by using different mouthpieces or people in the media that they're like feeding out this information. They're saying that they never said that he was deposed.

Oh, sorry. They're saying that they never said that. Wow, that's make a difference on the radio. I should know that. They're saying that he never they never agreed to him being deposed because he's not a party to the lawsuit in question with the blogger. So why would they allow for this to happen? But when it dropped, people were like, this is crazy.

The boy is locked up. Why would you even want to? But I think it's just them trying to do their due diligence and get all the information that they can because they're trying to figure out what was the source of these payments that they're alleging happened between the blogger or whatever in his defamation lawsuit. So that was a little back and forth yesterday online between Tory's team, some media outlets and- I had also said something, he was making music and then it was a fight that broke out in the back.

Yes, and we had that audio. He did not stop rapping, that was impressive. No he didn't. It's probably gonna be on the song. Yo, and he said keep the camera going. Let's take a listen to Tory Lanez in prison. That was crazy. Freestyling. And then a whole fight breaks out behind him.

All right, tell me right now, I gotta go up. Ready? Ready. in prison that was crazy styling and in the morning and I got trapped in. You know, the other night I got more than I could stand. Oh, you're up to that! F**k, flipping on any beat. Get your hands off my b**ch! Get your hands off my b**ch! Get it! Get it, f**k! Get it!

I'm throwing a piece on a piece of my b**ch! I know this phrase, I have to break it. I'm gonna break it, I'm gonna break it. That was somebody that was tired of that. Imagine being a nigga that just got life in jail. This nigga always rapping. They was trying to get to him. I'm sick of this.

I'm sick of this. By the way, if you can do all that, you can answer this deposition and do this interview Megan T. needs you to do. That's more like an interrogation though, ain't it? That's like heavy interrogation. They gotta do that for hours. That's what a deposition is, right? All we got is time right now. You're right. It's true. You're right. Now what you guys just heard was Tory Lane T was on a FaceTime call with somebody

from prison and there's like a fight that breaks out in the background and he's not involved in, but they start like spitting pepper spray. You can hear him say, they just sprayed the pepper spray. I guess they're trying to like break up whatever is happening he's still rapping he literally says don't stop recording yeah he stopped rapping at one point we won't hit us though why she's watching going use it he's known to say like you gonna sample that fight yeah he's but more rapping game was rapping girl game is right we got it we got a little bit of time because they was being a little disrespectful to my girl this respectful to miss Tina knows

absolutely I am very saddened and I have to report this this morning. And Kanye is behind it. Exactly. So Kanye West and The Game, I guess they are dropping a song called Tina where they sample Tina Turner, but in promotion of doing so, they're trolling Miss Tina Nose in a very disrespectful way. Crazy. Let's take a listen to the sample that he posted of Game Rap and then we'll get into the story. Let's go. So I took a couple of shots. And I took a whip off the lot. And I'm with a whip on the lot. I think I'm with off the yacht. Mrs. Tricking or Not.

I ain't with the charger. I ain't with the punch. So they doing a song about Tina Knowles? So I don't know like how, so okay first of all, in the beginning of that sampled music that you hear that the game was rapping over that Tina knows audio from when she did the Jennifer Hudson tunnel. So I don't know if the song is really fully about her. They just reference her a little bit because we can't hear the full song yet. But what I didn't like was in promotion of it, they posted her, Kanye posted her Jennifer Hudson tunnel walkthrough. Right. And the caption was game, game finish slide for the guys. And then he posted a DM to miss Tina knows it's a banana peeled. And the caption was game finna slide for the guys. And then he posted a DM to Miss Tina Nose, it's a banana, peeled. And the caption says this is game's phone. And it's like bro, this is Miss Tina Nose, please put some respect on her. Like yes she does, cause game commenting under one of Kanye's posts and said she looks so

good like basically for her age. She looks amazing for 46 years old with the fire emojis, right? Tina Nose is 71 years old. And you know what that's alluding to. I think he's being, you know what I mean? He's just a banana over his head. But I just think. He's playing with people's moms. Yeah.

But this Miss Tina knows, I guess, I feel like you just don't play with her. And one of the producers up here, Brandon, he was like, I think that was disrespectful. Like the, because he's used to the eggplant being used as the penis or whatever, right? But my thing is, all right, even if it wasn't supposed to be sexual, I'm, another monkey? Like cause the banana, like why? Why? Why is it a banana? You know what I'm saying? I feel like if you talking about you, you gonna slide on Miss Tina Nose and you post a banana we know what you would know what that means. You know exactly what that means yeah. And I don't like that. Don't play with her. Disrespectful. Y'all realize the only thing keeping Kanye West going is the media right? Like you don't have to acknowledge

him. You don't even gotta talk about him. Why talk about a clown? That's why he keep doing stuff like that. Exactly. So you so you talk about and game just happy somebody is noticing him I mean, but if it's there it's no game But you give him what he wants he's only doing these antics just for you to talk about if we don't talk about him someone Else will I just don't like that because if somebody if somebody did that to Kanye's mom, he was wild out, right? He would flip things he backflip I mean but even though if his mom was here and he and somebody did something to his mom like that or even The fact that she did pass and somebody did play with his mom's name. He was wild out. Yeah, you know play with people's moms

You'll play with people's kids. Hey, you know that's crazy. But. But NSJ, mother-in-law, that's supposed to be your people's at one point. Kanye just ain't ever been punched in the face. Obviously. That's just the reality of the situation. You can always tell people who've never gotten a punch in the face. Obviously.

Kanye West is one of those people. It's crazy because you got punched and you still be getting crazy. Because he ain't get punched in his face. That was in the back of his head. No, but that should tell you something. He ain't going to get disrespectful with somebody's mother or somebody's kids.

Ever. You actually the sweetest person ever behind the scenes. I wouldn't say that. Girl what? Please. He is such a southern sweet person behind the scenes. Oh girl! On camera he like to drag whiz. He acts like that place is not too tall.

You gonna tell that lie? Let's wrap it up. I ain't lying. Okay. Let's wrap it up. What are you giving your donkey to? First of all we got a special announcement and then we're giving donkey today to Enrique Tario. We'd like to have a word with him. Alright. Well let's get to that now and

let's get to that announcement wake up you're locked into the breakfast club this is a miracle there is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community yes you are a donkey the latest on that police killing of a black man. Now the new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Uh, man, yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did.

And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The the breakfast club, bitch. All right, Sean Lee, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, February 25th goes to Enrique Tarrio. If you don't know the name, he is the former leader of the Proud Boys. Not just the former leader of the Proud Boys, but a former leader of the Proud Boys who was sentenced to 22 years in prison because he was found guilty of helping coordinate the

insurrection that happened on January 6, 2021. Now this is what I don't understand about some of you Patriots, okay, and I put Patriots in air quotes. What I don't understand about you all is do you respect law enforcement or not? Because if you respected law enforcement, then ex-Capitol police officer Michael Fanone wouldn't have gotten dragged into the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6th. That police officer was attempting to defend the Capitol from these domestic terrorists we call vanilla ISIS and he was dragged into the mob beaten in taze until he suffered a heart attack.

That that don't sound like true patriotism to me okay. True patriots show their love and respect the law enforcement and true patriots respect the Capitol building that is a worldwide symbol of democracy. But Enrique Theriot doesn't care about any of that because he was given a second chance by Donald J. Trump. The man was pardoned by 4547 so he doesn't have to spend 22 years worrying about someone storming the Capitol of his anus. Stopped the steal takes on a whole new meaning in a prison shower. Okay? But what happens when a pardoned former leader of the Proud Boys sees an ex-capitol police officer in the street? You would think that maybe, just maybe, Enrique would have learned something from his brief stint in prison. You would think he would reflect. You would think

that Enrique would have said to himself, you know what? Law enforcement was just doing their job. We were being idiots and I'm so grateful to have a second chance at life. Let me mind my business. But no, a potential dialogue opportunity turned into s***. A little failure. Run from me, s***. Run from me. Run from me. S*** you. You can say that while you're over there.

Enrique, do you know you were absolutely wrong? You were absolutely wrong on January 6th and you were absolutely wrong in how you handled former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanon. Just know, okay, that he is a member of law enforcement. Former member of law enforcement but still a member of law enforcement, okay? He is a member of law enforcement, a public servant who took an oath to protect and serve the Capitol and that's exactly what he did. And y'all beat on that man for doing his job, tased that man for doing his job, and caused him to have a heart attack for doing his job. Michael Fanon you heard in the audio just now he used the right and exact language

when talking to Enrique. You are a traitor to this country. You orchestrated a coup to overthrow the results of an election and you are making your president Donald J Trump look like a fool because he said January 6th was a day of love. He said you all were patriots. Where is the love Enrique? Where is the respect for yourself? Where is the respect for your president and the pardon he gave you? All you did with this stunt was make him look crazy for even pardoning you in the first

place. It's people right now who think you should be in prison with Kool-Aid on your lips identifying as someone's prison bay. In fact, insurrections and orgies have one thing in common. If you don't have a real plan, which y'all didn't, it ends up being just a bunch of dudes standing around with nothing to do but each other. I don't even know why my brain works like that, but the moral of the story is Enrique, you got hit with 22 years because you helped orchestrate the chaos of January 6

You got a sweet deal with a pardon Do you know how many nonviolent drug offenders in prison right now would love to have a pardon and instead of humbling yourself You out here with your chest out like you did a bid for something honorable Look, man, this isn't about politics. It's about accountability. Okay Okay Enrique, you are the poster child for ungratefulness. You got a blessing, a blessing in the form of a pardon. And instead of falling back, staying low, letting time pass, you chose to still be on BS with a former police officer who almost died because of foolishness you helped to orchestrate.

Please remember Enrique, you got pardoned. Okay, not exonerated. If you are seen as a traitor and clown, guess what, you earned that. Okay okay you planned an attack on the capital you inspired people to go to war over a lie that the election was stolen and what makes it worse you didn't even go get your hands dirty with them on January 6 ugh please let Remy Ma give Enrique Teriot the biggest hee-haw That's right.

Alright. Crazy. You in here with that norovirus? I know that norovirus when I hear it now. She usually got a mask on, she chillin with none on her ass. What's up man? Coughing, you don't even like that. You can't be sneezing to me now, I got places to be.

What up, Louis? Drop on the Clues Bonds for Louis V. Now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Elon Musk sent out an email to all federal workers asking for the list of what they have accomplished at their jobs in the last week. All right, so we're asking 800-585-1051.

We wanna hear from federal workers. Actually, Amani from D.C., she called earlier this morning. She works at the Naval Yard, and this is what she said this morning when she called in. This is the email that we get sent every day. It's the threats that we get sent every day. We have a meeting on a by-daily basis about what to expect. First thing in the morning is already frustrating and then you got to come in and turn your emails on and you get a

whole bunch of blasts of you may need to respond to this or don't respond to this. If you don't respond to this, you know Trump is going off saying you may lose your job. Prime example, we had a meeting yesterday. One girl, she did take the resignation offer. Unfortunately, there's no funding. She's not getting no money. She's upset. Also, she took the resignation office offer and realized that the resignation offer

wasn't even a real offer. Cause there's no money? There's no money. Man, salute to all the families out there being affected by the federal funding cuts, man. People with disabilities, veterans, elderly people. I was telling you earlier, one of my homies was telling me about Easter Seals and how Easter Seals got gutted.

If you don't know what Easter Seals is, it's an American 501 nonprofit that provides disability services with additional support areas serving veterans and military families, seniors, caregivers. And you know, one of my man's children used to go there three days a week. now they can only go one day a week. Wow. Because of all the cuts that have happened so man so just to all the families out there being affected by

what's happening. Alright. But let's open up the phone lines we want to talk to the federal workers this morning I want to see how this is affecting you just want to hear from you this morning all right 800-585-1051, a lot called in early this morning. I know a lot are on their way to work. A lot of them start their job at nine, so we'd love to talk to you on your way in this morning. If they blessed to still have one. If they blessed to still have one.

So let's discuss when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. ["Till I Make It"] It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, we're taking your phone calls, 800-585-1051, asking to

speak to you federal workers out there. I know a lot of you guys are heading to work this morning. Elon Musk recently put out an email, emailed all the federal workers and asked them, he wanted to accomplish jobs. He wanted to see what they're doing, what your job is, what you accomplished in the last week and then they were going to put you a job accomplishment through AI and decide if I guess your job is valid or if you really aren't working? And good to all the Republicans pushing back on that.

The Casper tells of the world, the Tosie Gabbers, the Pete Hexsaps, I don't care how you feel about them, I'm just glad they told their employees to ignore Elon Musk. And I told y'all a couple weeks ago, and this is all I do, you listen to people, you find out what's going on in the world. A couple weeks ago, when I was at my daughter's

cheerleading competition in Maryland, the amount of federal workers that was coming up to me telling me that they either lost their job or they were about to lose their job because of what Doge is doing was unbelievable. And that's why I just want to salute all the families being affected by the federal funding cuts. I told y'all about my homie who was telling me

about Easter Seals. Easter Seals is a program that provides disability services. One of his kids goes to therapy, used to go three days a week, now he only goes for one now because East to Seals just got gutted. And I'm not against what Doge is doing. I'm against how they are doing it. That's the thing. It's a constitutional, lawful way to do what they want to do. And all you have to do is look at Bill Clinton's National Partnership for Reinventing Government on how to actually do it in a real way. Well let's go to the phone

lines we got a bunch of federal workers on the line that want to talk. What's your name? Yes, good morning. I want to say anonymous but I do work for the federal government. Can you at least tell us where? Yes, in Florida, Miami, Florida. I mean like what branch like what are you doing? Oh Department of Human Services. Okay. Okay now what's up? How are you feeling? Oh Department of Human Services, okay. Okay. Now, what's up? So get how you how are you feeling? Did you get one of those emails? Talk to us? Yes I got the email and I honestly feel like this is a great opportunity to outline what you as an employee bring to the come, you know bring to the federal government and

If it's really good, what you outline, they could give you an opportunity to get a promotion or something. Like, God forbid they ask you what you've done. Any other job, they'll ask you at the end of the week, at the end of the month, because I used to do bookkeeping. Okay, so what do we do at the end of the month?

What are the clients that we have to gear towards to? So at the end of the month, what are the clients that we have to, you know, gear towards to? So at the end of the day, God forbid anybody makes any, and this is a democratic thing. It's like, I don't want to get the parties into it, but they don't want to go to work. They want to work from home. People are not working from home. You know, this is what you signed up for. If you don't like it, resign. You know what I'm saying? They gave you the opportunity to find another job. I mean, it's not that hard. You complaining about actually working. I don't get it.

I'm not mad at your perspective. That's why, that's why I like talking to people. I like talking to people and I like talking to people who are in it because everybody sees things a different way. I wonder, do you feel like there are a lot of people that are not working that are taking days off? I guess exactly. Absolutely. Absolutely. I worked exactly what you're saying.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I work for home and you know what Donald Trump got the gadget idea because Elon Musk, he fired like 80% of the Twitter people or Tesla people for his company because you can buy a gadget that actually shakes up like you're're at the desk, but you're really not working. Because computers, it shuts off if it's not an activity within like five minutes. So it requires you to actually work from home.

But it's gadgets around that, and the people are actually buying it and using it, and not working, and this is our taxpayers' money, and you have to work. You don't like it for another job. I understand what you're saying, but you can't just take a wrecking ball to the infrastructure of the federal government and just start firing people all

willy nilly because what about those people who work at the, the, the, what was it? The nuclear workers who they fired and then ended up realizing like, oh, we need these people. Or the people who work at the, I think it was the USDA who were overseeing the bird flu you can't just fire them right I agree with you on that but the people that's complaining about writing the email it's gonna take what five minutes out of your day ten minutes and I've read on Twitter a guy

was complaining oh it's gonna be an hour it takes you an hour to write five things that you completed okay maybe you do need another job. Oh, so you agree with it. Okay, thank you, mama. The great perspective. That's why you gotta talk to people. Stop talking about people you never talk to. Well, you know, a lot of people feel like after COVID,

a lot of people take that quote unquote time working at home and they don't really work. And a lot of people have been saying that for the longest time. But then when people are forced to come back, they say, well, because mental health reasons, I don't wanna come back. And a lot well, because mental health reasons, I don't want to come back. A lot of jobs are saying we lose a lot of money

because they feel when people work with each other, they get more done, they get more accomplished. But it's not like Elon Musk is talking to federal agents and civil servants and private sector experts to do this. They're just going in and slashing. Let's take more calls. Can we take more calls? Yep, of course.

Hello, who's this? This is Rik. Hey Rik, good morning. Are you a federal worker? I am. Now it says that- In what department? I work for the VA.

Okay. Now it says that you were terminated and then brought back? Yes. Tell us about it. Yes, I was wrongfully terminated. Those emails that you have been hearing about going out where I was treated as a probationary employee due to performance, I terminated and my performance evaluations have been nothing more than

outstanding employees. Your phone sounds a little crazy. Do you have us on speaker or bluetooth? I don't. You spitting too. It's going in and out. I know we can't really get you too much mama. Damn I want want to hear this story, too Cuz I mean you hear me we can't we can hear you but keep going in now. Just go go go go Okay, so they terminated me then they brought me back and then okay I thought that I might receive another termination email Not to come on call and I just want to say it's just so stressful the expectation of the work of it Yeah, I'll let you give your absolute best to the veterans and their families and you want a day we can't we can't you are you have no idea what's going on with your job it's hard I get to just what you say she

works for the VA she got fired they had to hire back and that's the problem that's what happens when you're not actually doing this with efficiency you know what I mean like when I keep talking about what Bill Clinton did in the 90s he worked with federal agents, civil servants, private sector experts, and they actually went in with a fine-toothed comb to see where the waste was and what they could eliminate to make the government more efficient and more cost effective. That is not what Elon Musk is doing currently.

800-585-1051. We would love to talk to all the federal workers out there. Call us up right now. How are you feeling with these emails? Are you for it or are you against it? Let's have a conversation. It's Topic Time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines and talking to the federal workers out there. Elon Musk sent out two emails asking federal workers what

their jobs are. And then I guess what they're going to be doing is they're going to be putting their answers in AI to see if they're actually doing their jobs or not, if they should be fired or not. So we're asking federal workers, how do you feel? Hello, who's this? This is Maddie. Maddie, talk to us. So I'm a social worker with the Department of Veteran Affairs and I think this is causing

warranted pain. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons and birds, but what if there's something else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night. Silent. Unseen.

Watching. They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't. Oh, that is beyond creepy.

Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely. Listen to Obscurum, Invasion of the Drones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all. I'm Maria Fernandez. My podcast, When You're Invisible, is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life.

I get to talk to a lot of people who form the backbone of our society, but who have never been interviewed before. Season 2 is all about community, organizing, and being underestimated. All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it. I can't have more than $2,000 in my bank account or else I can't get disability benefits. They won't let you succeed. I know we get paid to serve you guys,

but like, be respectful. We're made out of the same things, bone, body, blood. It's rare to have black male teachers. Sometimes I am the lesson and I'm also the testament. Listen to When You're Invisible as part of the MyCultura podcast network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts,

Hmm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages

in a series of ill-conceived, investigative hookups. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup. Now, take a big whiff, my brah.

I mean that email we received saying state five bullet points. Who's reading these two million plus emails and has enough knowledge of each job description

to know if what somebody replied even can be determined as efficient? Well, they're putting it through AI, they said. Allegedly they're putting all the emails back through AI to see if it's, I guess, proficient. I don't know how AI would figure that out, but yeah, they're allegedly putting it through AI. See, I haven't heard anything about that part. It's been a lot of confusion. allegedly putting it through AI. I haven't heard anything about that part. It's been a lot of confusion, you know, we're being told don't answer,

then we're being told answer. And it's just, I think it's just causing a lot of extra undue stress on people who are already stressed enough. And y'all are actually working, trying to keep our government going every single day. There's so many people that depend on what it is that y'all do. Like y'all don't need that extra stress for no damn reason? Right, we don't. I mean, like me,

for instance, I work with homeless veterans and it's already stressful enough trying to make sure their house have food, can pay their bills. And now we trying to worry about it. We're going to be able to pay our own bills. Well, thank you so much, mama. Hello. Who's this? Oh, um, I'm calling for the federal Give us your opinion. Yes, sir I am a federal worker with the Internal Revenue Service and I completely feel What she was saying earlier this morning because from day one from the time that he signed those papers we have been getting bombarded with emails like either we're gonna answer something or we're not gonna answer something or we're gonna lose our

job or you know I mean whatever it's been up until last night we had we were told all day that we did not have to respond to that email, but that was given over the weekend, but at five o'clock we get another email stating that we do have to answer back to it and we have to see our manager in and we got, we have to answer it. And if we don't, we can jeopardize and we're taking it as a resignation. Um, I mean, it's just been a whirlwind, a whirlwind. And it's, I, I I've never been put in this position where I have to choose between if I'm gonna take the job,

I mean, or if I'm gonna take a visitation, or, you know, and not, and have to really think about that. That is- I think it's sick that somebody like Elon Musk would get on social media Sunday and say, I'm just sending these emails because I want to see who has a post. You know what I mean?

I want to see who responds. But we deal with these, we deal with taxpayers every day. And it's crazy because I'm even on the phone with these taxpayers and they're asking us if we're good and if we're going to lose our jobs and they feel so sorry for us and hopefully I'll keep y'all jobs.

Like, and they're getting alerts that, oh, y'all got all these layoffs. Like, who wants to hear that while you're working? Absolutely. Now you said you work for the IRS. What do you do for the IRS? I deal with accounts, basically, the individual accounts. Meek Mill got some questions for you.

Yeah, of course he's got some problems. Yeah. I don't know if you heard. So, Meek Mill. She did, She laughed. I knew she had what we said. And even with answering those questions about what we do every day, like, I mean, we do so much.

It's like, okay, what don't we do? It's a question. Like... Well, we appreciate your service, man. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. You guys have a wonderful day. Have a blessed day.

You too. And I'm telling you, I am not against what doge is doing. I'm against how they are doing it You know I'm saying all you got to do is read about the national partnership for reinventing government that bill Clinton did in the 90s And you will see that there is a lawful Constitutional way to do this I was reading about Elaine Carmack who used to work for Bill Clinton back then and she said the difference between what we did and what Doge is doing she said we cut fat and they cut muscle. She said we didn't have any meltdowns of agencies, we didn't have any dysfunction going on and most importantly we obeyed the law. When we thought something was wrong we sent it to Congress and asked them to change it. Doge is not doing any of that. All right well we got Jess with the Mess

coming up. What are we talking about? Meek Mill is fighting for his life with these taxes. He said he made two million and he got to pay 2.8 so something's going on. All right well we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess. The news is real, brother.

Jess Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coacheship she was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see this time to set it all so how make me I'm gonna pay more than

what he made taxes huh yeah listen don't give me the line maybe this is above my tax bracket. You didn't reach out to the IRS and I did not. Don't people assume some people I do not want to talk to. All right. So Meek Mill tweeted that the IRS, I'm gonna read his tweet verbatim. IRS made me pay 2.8 M from 2013 and I only made 2 million. How do I fight that? I've been paying my taxes since I was 23 years old. Paying dang near 3 M out your pocket randomly is stressful.

I didn't know you could pay more in taxes than what you made. Neither did I. You can't. And it's like why, it's like all them people that be around me, I don't know who he's around but I know he knows some good people, some smart people. Like Robin. Like there you go, you know what I mean? I don't know why wouldn't you call somebody and ask somebody?

Now, Boosie always go online and ask for stuff, you know, but stuff like that. Why don't you have anybody that can advise you? Well, he just don't call his financial advisor. Maybe he don't have one. What probably happened was, you know, the IRS can go back three years, maybe it was three years of money that was owed and his penalties and fees and interest or he could have made two million dollars on the quote unquote books and then if he deposited any type of cash into his account they charged him for that which would have been more than a two million dollars he made on the book. So let's say he has a show and you're performing and you put 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100,000 in

your account and you don't claim that. So he would have made more than two million then? On the books, yes. I asked my business manager yesterday because when I see stuff like that, it scares me. Me too. And the first thing he said was, that can't happen. He said impossible, not me too. I'm thinking he owed back taxes plus interest

in penalties from years behind that kept on accruing. And he said, if his taxes owed from years prior that kept adding up. Yeah, he said, his taxes owed from years prior that kept adding up, there's not a way on God's green earth that that can happen. You can't make 2 million and pay 2.8 million. There has to be other things in consideration. Those are his words, not mine.

Yeah, we went and got all those answers. And then me tweeted after this, I am not in tax debt. I'm saying I know I didn't owe 2.8 in taxes if I only made 2 million max in 2013. I'm confused. Don't stop talking to the internet. Stop talking to Twitter. Who are you explaining this to? First of all, when you tweeted that out originally, nobody cares. Nobody wants to hear that you owe $2.8 million in taxes because you got the money to pay it. What are you saying? You said, I go to my account and I take $3 million out. That hurts or something

like that. Really? That is a luxury, my brother. Who are to when you even having that conversation? Why you talking out loud like that? Cause his accountant must be busy. He said they be counting him out like his accountant ain't busy. Now don't get it twisted. There's a lot of people that owe money in taxes and don't understand how they owe the taxes, but it's not 2.8. And then that's just like keeping it a hundred. I mean, he's, it still do hurt that the pay that I don't care if he is rich. I don't care. Maybe he is, maybe he he is not we don't know because a lot of people act like they got money and don't got money but you know what I mean, I understand that it'll get some you know a

Regular working-class person like upset but that don't mean we don't got issues cuz we got Oh, you know I'm saying people and people have to pay Like don't tell me I can't complain. It's something one of the worst things ever is when you open up that mailbox and you see that letter from the IRS or a nurse and oh my gosh that will change your day. That's right. Ursula be coming I think I understood what he mean by he's not in debt after saying that he owed money. He paid it off I had to think about it. All right now we got build that account back up. I know what that's like That's crazy. it hurts whether you Rich or poor it hurts. I don't understand who you talking to when you post it. That's all

Nobody Call Wallo me Whatever you need to talk. Just call while Omi and never be able to get out that phone. That's crazy. It's a lot. Yes. So next story. Um, it's me. We'll be there all day trying to decode it. Yeah. Um, what's next? My Don Staley. Yes. Philly. Yeah. Which is correct. I didn't know that. Don Staley was from a Philly. I literally just learned that because she has a new book coming out on the black privilege imprint, black privilege publishing called Uncommon Favor.

Don't nobody, respectfully Hope, don't nobody look the way they look in jeans like Beyonce looks in jeans. So when you see her in the commercial, like if you're built like that, are you still intrigued to buy the jeans? Excuse me? Or like Kendrick if you're not built like Beyonce or Kendrick.

Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Now, it's Black History Month. Who we repping today? Man, you know us.

We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. We're the Black History Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NVJ, Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Now, it's Black History Month, who we repping today?

Man, you know during Black History Month my guy B.Dot puts out a podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Neither and on today's episode B.Dot speaks on the Martinsville 7. Yes, before the Central Park Five guy railroaded, the Martinsville 7 was dealing with a lot of injustice. Let's discuss. I didn't know, maybe you didn't. I didn't know, maybe you didn't. I didn't know, I didn't know. I didn't know.

Now I know what you're thinking. Damn, what'd they do? Well, they were accused of raping a white woman. There's some debate about whether they were guilty or not. Some folks like, nah, they did it. And there's others like, nah, they did it. And as others like, but where's the evidence though? Either way, the real crime here was how fast the system moved to snatch their lives. Let me break it down for you. These men were arrested,

interrogated with no lawyers, just some cops breathing down their necks, screaming at them like sign here. And when you got no rights, no support and you're terrified, you'll sign anything. Confessions? Check. Evidence? Crickets. Then they get dragged in front of all white juries in a segregated courtroom. Y'all know what that meant. It was over before it even started. The trials were done in days. They got sentenced to death faster than you can uber-eat a four-piece supreme combo from Bojangles. Appeals? Ignored. And in 1951, Virginia said, Next! And put him in the electric chair. Seven men, two days. Can we pause for a second? Two days, man. I've seen people wait longer for an oil change. Now fast forward to 1989. We all know about the Central Park Five, right? Five black

and Latino teenagers accused of attacking a white woman in New York. The current president of the United States took out a full page ad on them. They were interrogated the same way. No lawyers, no parents, just a room full of cops like, write this down if you ever want to see sunlight again, buddy. They confessed to crimes that they didn't commit, got thrown in prison, and it took 13 years and DNA evidence to clear their names. But the Martinsville 7? They didn't get those 13 years. They didn't get Netflix documentaries where Ava DuVernay directed their story.

They got two years, a sham trial and an electric chair. 70 years later though, 70 years later, Virginia was like, oh my bad, and pardoned them. Pardoned them after their families had already lost everything. Like what's a pardon going to do? Give them free Wi-Fi in the afterlife? And here's the kicker, some people still argue about their guilt. Like, well, maybe they did it. Okay, but even if they did, seven death sentences, trials rushed like a 30 minute lunch break. Where's the humanity? The Martinsville seven and the Central Park five are two sides of the same dirty coin. Black men sacrificed

on the altar of white fear. But be not confused. These stories ain't just about the past. They're about what's still broken in the present. And I didn't know, maybe you didn't either. Alright, happy Black History Month! That's right and make sure you subscribe to the I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Need the podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio Podcast Network available everywhere you listen to podcasts.
