We got front page news coming up. We'll break down everything that went happen over this three day weekend and more so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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 First start off with all-star recap to any of you guys watch the all-star stuff over the weekend Yeah, I watched all of it. Yeah, what's your thoughts? What's your thoughts? On what specifically? Oh, okay. We can start with the celebrity game. I thought it's trash It was funny I enjoyed you see he was very entertaining Oh, okay. We can start with the celebrity game. I thought it was trash. Celebrity game is always trash though.
Starting point is 00:06:45 It was funny. I enjoyed Drusky. He was very entertaining. Yeah, you don't watch the celebrity game because you're looking for actual good basketball. You look for the celebrity game for entertainment. So I don't count that. Okay, it's a three-point contest. Tyler Hero won that. That was cool. I mean, that's, you know, that's regular. Pretty much so. I mean, the whole league is a three-point shooting contest at this point. So that's no standout. What about the dunk contest I
Starting point is 00:07:07 Mean other than the white dude Mac Don't contest is just a but does he play on the team if yeah when it's time for NBA also weekend They put him they give him a 10-day contract That's crazy. Yeah, and then of course what about the all-star game which was kind of confusing It was international stars versus all-stars versus the Rick. I had no idea I was confused I had no idea what was going on because the whole I thought the whole point of being an all-star You know to get recognized as an all-star so I didn't understand what the rising stars were there for like they're not all-stars Why do they get to play?
Starting point is 00:07:40 I didn't know what the hell was I didn't know what was going on with that. That was this. Yeah I was confused too. I was confused too. But good morning Morgan. Good morning DJ envy Charlamagne the god and just hilarious. How y'all doing on this Tuesday? Let's black and highly favorite good good All right, I'll try to break down the great the game a little bit later at the 7 o'clock hour But first let's get into what's topping the headlines Um, there's been yet another aviation accident, this time in Toronto, Canada.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Delta Airlines says that 18 people are injured after a flight from Minneapolis crashed at a Toronto airport on Monday. But the great news is there were no fatalities, no fatalities reported. Toronto Pearson Airport President and CEO, Deborah Flint, held a presser last night, and here's what she had to say.
Starting point is 00:08:24 First and foremost, there was no loss of life and this is in due part to our heroic and trained professionals our first responders at the airport. So the facts of the matter around this event that happened at approximately 2 30 p.m. is Delta Airlines flight 4819 from Minneapolis to Toronto operated by subsidiary Endeavour Air was involved in a single aircraft accident upon landing at Toronto Pearson. So in a statement the airline said that the flight was carrying 80 people total 76 passengers four crew members and 18 people have been taken to the hospital. Now pictures and videos are surfacing showing the plane upside down in snowy conditions.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Flint categorized the injuries again as relatively minor and air traffic has resumed at that airport as of right now. Now the National Transportation Safety Board of Canada is leading the investigation. However, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is also sending a team of US investigators to assist in that incident. What is there to investigate? Like nobody knows how the plane ended up upside down? Like that? There's no video. There's video of everything. There's no video of everything.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Supposedly it was a wind gust and they were already like pretty much close and on the ground and then there was a wind gust that they were saying once they hit the ground they were like on their side and then the before they knew what they were upside down and to one of the people who are involved said quote they were hanging like that so Yeah I heard that last night about the wind and I totally believe that because you can be driving Driving nowadays sometime in that those wind gusts be swerving your car That heavy though to flip over a plane that has to weigh how many pounds is the plane to be the wind gusts that much Yeah, and then also take off the wing as well because the plane also lost the wings in that Guys this story is developing. I want to get ahead of myself and keep you posted with actually all scared to fly Yeah, I'm not I have flights coming up, but I know you guys fly often so yeah Yeah, I was scared of fly since the DC flight Just a crash. Yeah, I understand. I've been putting I've been trying to put it in perspective for myself
Starting point is 00:10:42 It's just like a 40 is 45,000 commercial flights daily So just think about that like it's 45,000 commercial flights daily. How often do these things actually happen? But it seems like they're happening more, you know, are we hearing about it more and more? Commercial flights man a flight that hit Philly the plane that just landed the commercial flights man the flight that hit Philly the plane that just landed in the middle of Philly and that was a commercial flight. That wasn't a commercial flight. No. What kind of flight was that? That was a private jet. Private jet. The Black Hawk was definitely a commercial flight. There's too many things that are supposed to be in the air to keep hitting the ground. Like I was going to say yeah right right just because it doesn't matter. Commercial TV show or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:18 In the DMV it's a lot of air traffic so it really don't matter. Commercial not. And not even just crashing like the planes are hitting each other. Like this wing hit this other plane's wing and this, that and the other, all commercial flights. When was that? I missed that one. You hear about that all the time where a plane's wing hit into another plane.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Like you've been hearing that about a lot. I have not heard that a lot. Lagos, Nigeria, it's a lot of them. Yeah. All right guys, let's try to switch gears real quick if we can. Remember over the weekend the hostages were in fact released by Hamas after the ceasefire agreement.
Starting point is 00:11:50 So here's what happened. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he wants all the hostages held by Hamas to be released as soon as possible but didn't confirm whether the ceasefire deal between Israel and the Palestinian militant group will be upheld. Now Rubio told CBS Face the Nation he's working closely with the Israeli government to secure the immediate release of the hostages despite the agreement outlined in the ceasefire deal. Let's hear more from Rubio. There are some that are supposed to be released coming up next weekend. We expect that to happen but we'd like to see them all come out. We're
Starting point is 00:12:18 not in favor of waiting weeks and weeks. Now that may be the process that's in place because of the deal. But we would like to see them all out as soon as possible. We share the goal that every hostage needs to come home, every single one without delay. Obviously, there are details of how we're pursuing that and
Starting point is 00:12:34 coordinating that we're not going to share publicly because we don't want to endanger the hostages and we don't want to endanger this process. So Rubio and the US and Israel are closely working to secure their release. And of course, this comes as Rubio and the US and Israel are closely working to secure
Starting point is 00:12:45 their release and of course this comes as Rubio is also holding talks in Russia over ending the Ukraine, oh he's holding talks in Saudi Arabia, excuse me today, over ending the conflict in Russia and Ukraine. So we'll keep you posted with that. So that's your front page news for 6 a.m. at 7 a.m. we will talk about New York City Mayor Eric Adams the controversy continues and yeah and I'll break down the All-Star game as well.

Get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need the vent you can hit us up now we got just with the mess coming up What we talking about Wendy was outside. She finally went to go see her dad in Florida. Nice. All right Well, we'll get to that next don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning the Breakfast Club morning everybody is DJ Envy we act like this ain't got no other records well it's either scissor or 310 Soak City which one you want? I'd rather go to Jessica's. Morning everybody, we are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Let's get to Jessica the mess. You need to use this real weapon. This is the floor. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide Mess.
Starting point is 00:19:39 On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. 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 when you did make it to see your dad and she spent some time with her son I said he was out eating and stuff. Yes, Wendy was outside this weekend a long time coming She's been trying to figure this out. So over the weekend She went to Florida to celebrate her dad's 91st birthday Now the ceremony and not the ceremony but the what they did was very intimate
Starting point is 00:20:07 I think they just spent time at home from what the photos look like And this photo was posted by her son Kevin Hunter jr. And he captioned it you see her holding a birthday card He's like happy I could make this happen for you Papa. I said by any means and I kept my word Now I think people were surprised to see her with her son, which I don't know why. I guess it's because she had just said they was trying to get into here. But I mean, it's her son though, and it's her only child. So I think I think I wasn't surprised to see them together. I more so was surprised to see all the posting it and all of that. When I say the paparazzi would leave Wendy alone from the moment she landed in Florida to the minute she got to they went to like this Cuban restaurant. There was videos her eating there.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I think Kevin's. Somebody clearly called. By the way people, paparazzi don't just show up. I need y'all to know. Not in like Florida where she was at, no. No. Not at all. They were everywhere. Wendy Winn got highlights to her.
Starting point is 00:20:54 They knew her flight, they knew where she landed. They knew everything. Somebody was calling them every step of the way. It was bad bad. She got highlights in the airport and there was a whole story about the highlights she got in the airport. Because you know she was talking about
Starting point is 00:21:03 she wanted to go out and travel and shop. But yeah, so she was she was out with her family she got to celebrate the birthday. Now there was a story that came out over the weekend too in relation to Wendy that I thought was interesting. It was about you know we've been trying to figure out why she's on that floor where like all these people have no memory whatsoever. She's been at this home for eight months and TMZ did a story they said that they talked to someone who is in the facility who has been interacting with Wendy and was there from the time that she got there. And
Starting point is 00:21:28 they say that when she first arrived there, she was actually placed on the third floor, which doesn't have the restrictions that she has right now. Like she would be able to come and go throughout the building. I guess there is a restaurant bar at the rooftop of the hotel and Wendy went and visited this restaurant bar and she had a few drinks. She got drunk and they were not happy about that because of course she came in with them knowing that she had a history of alcoholism. So they say at that point is when they put her on the fifth floor memory unit. Now, this was supposed to just be until I'm assuming she got to a point where they felt
Starting point is 00:22:05 like they could trust her to be able to roam around the building by herself. But she is still there at this point. And all just sounds so crazy. Exactly. So yeah, and when I reached out to kind of see like, you know, because to me, this plays a favorite for her, like, trying to get off of this conservatorship, even if she just moves floors in the building. And I was told the same thing that I was thinking like, yeah, like this, they're basically saying it wasn't a dementia thing. It was because she broke
Starting point is 00:22:28 the rule, she got drunk and they wanted to make sure they can control her type of thing. So she could be on a different floor, but just more protocols placed around her, obviously. But yeah, so shout out to Wendy. She made it to Florida. That's what's up. Okay. Jay-Z. Yep, Jay-Z. So you're seeing that over the weekend. This was like, okay, good everywhere over the weekend. Must be just going real hard. Oh, I don't think I was gonna stop. I don't think he's gonna stop. But Jay-Z and Diddy are officially off of the case with the 13 year old the girl who was 13 back in 2000. It said that they raped her after a VMA party. So over the weekend, that case was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice.
Starting point is 00:23:09 So he can't come back and try this again, right? Now according to the docs, Busby has sent two demand letters back in 2024, which we had talked about, and accused Diddy and Jay-Z of raping this girl back in 2000 when she was 13. They had tried to get her identity revealed. That did not happen. On February 14th, it was ruled by a judge that Busby had to submit these documents that would show that he's able to even operate or legislate in the district where this is filed. On that same
Starting point is 00:23:36 day is when he voluntarily gave the settle case to the dismissal. So people were like, yo, this is kind of funny. Like you didn't want to prove that you could even operate in this jurisdiction. And now you're just allowing for this case to be thrown out. Now Jay-Z is like going and he's saying that he believes that Busby purposely filed this around the time of Mufasa premiering, which ruined the premiere. Because, you know, when he went to that premiere that weekend with his daughter, 13 year old daughter, with Blue Ivy, his wife, everybody was talking about the fact that you were at this movie that centers around children and there's this disease, rape allegations.
Starting point is 00:24:08 He also, you know, just he talks a lot about the shakedown. He says that they received death threats like he just talks about how much hell they went through. Yeah, it was like he had a gun to his head. Exactly. You said that? I mean, that's what you said about Buzzy. Yep, Jay-Z said that about Buzzy.
Starting point is 00:24:21 So I mean, this being thrown out, Diddy C and K Mountain basically said, like, we've been telling y'all that all of these cases filed by this ambulance chaser, talking about attorney Busby, they're just made up to get in the media and to get some attention because these are celebrities. But, I mean, I don't know, this is a huge win. And it's kind of crazy to me that, like, it's not as loud as it was when the case first dropped, which always has not. Of course never is.
Starting point is 00:24:47 That's the sad part about these situations all the time. The dismissal of the case is never as loud in the media as the original accusation. And also, Ethan Ho of suing Tony Busby. Yeah, but he had already, remember he dropped that already prior to, there was the extortion. I think he was suing Adam. No, no, no, he didn't drop it, No, but he had already filed it during the time when his first drop. So that's already there. So that's just going to go through. He's going to go through it, go through with that. Of course, as he should. I'm glad Hovance and Tony Busby because these lawyers don't care. They just believe they can hit you up and say, Hey, if you don't meet our demands, then we're going to have press conferences and go to the press with all these salacious accusations and it's really a shakedown and A lot of people you you'd be surprised how many people settle because you know They don't care about the bad press, but I think those days are long gone
Starting point is 00:25:32 I think well not only the bad press is the amount that it costs to fight it You know if you just settle out you ain't gotta pay for lawyers you ain't gotta pay for none of that Sometimes there's so many people that just say you know what I, I paid his 10,000, his 50,000, his 100,000 and pay lawyers millions. But yeah, those days are over though, because people that are that are that are innocent and know they're innocent and they don't care. They like whatever, because they know that all it's gonna do is go to the media cycle, Twitter gonna have fun for a couple of days and then it's going to be gone. I will say that even if BuzzBee continues, it just looks crazy. Because normally with
Starting point is 00:26:02 a case like this, a civil case case the fact that they said they settled with Prejudice meaning that he can't bring me no dismissed with prejudice. I'm sorry. Yeah dismissed with prejudice without a settlement This that normally doesn't happen in a case like this normally you have to get a settlement behind the scenes for an attorney Who's accusing you of these things like a bus be? Asking you for money to back away and none of that happened so that it makes attorney Busby look crazy I mean there's been things leading up to this that made him look crazy like that NBC interview, but I don't know how he goes forward with the other cases. If I'm a judge, I don't take them seriously.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And you'd be surprised how many of these cases actually just get dismissed by a court of law, but that's never news. You know what I mean? If that was news, if people realize that most of these people that file these accusations, the case gets dismissed. If they knew that there was no money to be... Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? How goes lower? I met Santi at a luau party in October.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I'm Santi. Damien. Oh, it was bizarre. The guy just disappeared one day. Santi has been missing ever since. The hookup. What is that? I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now?
Starting point is 00:27:10 Like, no matter how hard I try, all roads lead to... The hookup. You think it's causing people to turn aggro? I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to f- Yeah, that's a word for it. This is such terrible representation, I'm so sorry. Poppers? These aren't just any poppers.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. No, not my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either.

Irreversible lung damage serious, one in ten kids vape serious, which warrants a serious conversation from a serious parental figure like yourself. Not the seriously know-it-all sports dad or the seriously smart podcaster. It requires a
Starting point is 00:29:36 serious conversation that is best had by you. No, seriously, the best person to talk to your child about vaping is you. To start the conversation, visit TalkAboutVaping.org, brought to you by the American Lung Association and the Ad Council. Ad, people wouldn't even jump out the window and do these things. Oh, but Jay-Z... People think it's a check. They think it's a check attached. Well, it's not only that.
Starting point is 00:29:55 They don't have to pay the lawyer, right? Nothing comes out their pocket. A lawyer gets a third of what you're supposed to make. So it's easy to go to a lawyer when nothing comes out of your pocket. You don't have to pay anything and you don't lose anything. So it's a gamble that what you supposed to make so it's easy to go to a lawyer when nothing comes out of your pocket You don't have to pay anything and you don't lose anything So it's a gamble that you everybody were willing to take because you don't lose nothing No, but Jay better take him for everything that he has just when you mentioned I hope so guns in my head when I read that letter that he responded with I said
Starting point is 00:30:16 Oh the way he bought the dance through this extortion and everything that's gonna come after that He ain't gonna play around with Busby say it and Look you play with the right one. You know what else I saw though? The Mexican president is still on Google over the map change. You don't gotta go and look at that bar. I'm trying to catch up. Yeah because the the golf of America the golf of Mexico they already changed it you know cuz Trump signed order for them to make it golf of America instead of Gulf of Mexico. They already changed it, you know, because Trump signed the order for them to make it Gulf of America instead of Gulf of Mexico. The Mexican president was like, Oh no, that's not what we're doing. So he's, he's suing Google for them, for them changing it. That's crazy. He's stepping up like, excuse me, what? So that's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Go ahead. I'm glad that I just see that. That's all I wanted to hear. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you. Yeah, all right. Well, that is just with the mess. Now, when we come back, we got front page news, so don't go anywhere. Morgan will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Good morning. Wake, wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Let's start off with sports Morgan. Let's jump right in. Let's break down this All-Star because it was a little confusing at times. Yeah. So in case you missed 2025 NBA All-Star game, team Shaq took down Paul's team Chuck 41 to 25 with a win at the Caesar, or I'm sorry, Chase Center in San Francisco, California. Now Jason Tatum led all scores with 15 points in the championship game. Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, he was named the most
Starting point is 00:31:49 valuable player after combining for 20 points on the night. Let's hear from him. The journey, you know, we're not here without, without, you know, that generation and every generation since that has paved the way for us to play this game and have fun at the highest level and I'm very appreciative of it Now there was people saying that he didn't deserve the MVP. I watched the game. I didn't pay any attention They said Jason Tatum should have got it. I mean that that shot from half court was pretty impressive You don't think so Charlamagne? I mean, it's always impressive when Steph does that but I guess for me it's like that 40-point Threshold that they try to get to is that really enough time for anybody to get into a rhythm
Starting point is 00:32:25 the way they can be named the MVP? Um, I'm, I look, I'm not a pro. I don't know. I'm the All-Star. And the fact that he was home to that was his home court. So, you know, if he was, was even closer, they will give it to him. That's true. That.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Yeah. You, you write about that. I mean, at this point, has anybody impressed anymore about anything that Steph does? Oh, I am. I think Steph Curry revolutionized the game of basketball, not just men's basketball, women's basketball. I don't think you get a Caitlin Clark. There's no step curse. Oh, yes. To me, it is always still impressive when Steph is
Starting point is 00:32:54 shooting lights out the way he does. All right. I like that. Okay, so Team Chuck was led by Victor Wimben Yamah, who scored 11 points off the bench Shaq squad advanced to the championship game after topping team Candice 42 to 35 in the semis. Now team Chuck booked their spot in the championship after ousting team Kenny with a 41 to 32 win. MV Mack McClung from the Orlando Magic, he won the dunk contest after jumping over a car and Tyler Hero won the three point contest. He's from the Miami Heat. All right, bringing things home to you guys in New York,
Starting point is 00:33:27 Eric Adams continues to face backlash, including the resignation of half of his deputy mayors over the dropping of federal corruption charges against him. There are some sticking by the mayor, though. Not New York City Councilwoman, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, she's among those to step down in the latest, now following the resignation of those four deputies. Now she says that it's very clear that the mayor has lost all confidence in his staff, has lost trust in his staff, his colleagues,
Starting point is 00:33:56 and New Yorkers. She says she must prioritize New York City and resign, adding that the city no longer has the ability to effectively govern. Adrian Adams says the mayor's actions and decisions have led to months of instability and now compromises the city's sovereignty and threatens to this threatens chaos and risk of harm to families. Now Mayor Adams he started more controversy on Monday when he invoked Adolf Hitler's book while defending himself against all of this drama. Let's take a listen to Mayor Adams as he invokes the Hitler's book while defending himself against all of this drama. Let's take a listen to Mayor Adams as he invokes the Hitler's book Mein Kampf. You know I remember listening to some of Dr. King's
Starting point is 00:34:31 teaching and he talked about the book Mein Kampf and he indicated if you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, people will tend to believe it's true. And that's what you're seeing right now, mind and they mind come. So he made those comments to a group of clergy, various faith at Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn. And he also touted his record and insisted, he's not going anywhere, let's hear more from Mayor Adams. I ignore the noise. I know what we have accomplished.
Starting point is 00:35:02 That is why I move through these streets at the level of comfort that I have. We have accomplished. That is why I move through these streets at the level of comfort that I have. We have done the job. There's a lack of consistency to what people are saying. They are attempting to rewrite my entire history with their own agenda. So the mayor continues to deny any quid pro quo with the Trump administration. I can get into the governor Kathy Hoco's comments but before I do what do you guys think about those comments that you heard from New York City Mayor Adams? At this point do you feel like we're beating a dead horse or the drama just continues?
Starting point is 00:35:35 I wonder all those folks stepping down do they believe Mayor Adams was guilty or they just mad because of how he's you know standing next to Trump? Which one is the Trump thing or do they think he's guilty? That's why they step in that. That's a good question. It could be a combination of both, but also not to forget that, for example, New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams,
Starting point is 00:35:55 these people have their own jobs. They might not wanna associate themselves with something of this magnitude. So there's that. And even the people that's saying it's quid pro, what is it? Quid pro quo. So there's that. And even the people that's saying it's quid pro quo. What is it? Quid pro quo. What would the mayor be giving the president? The city of New York and maybe access, you know, in terms of ICE, in terms of, you know, things of it.
Starting point is 00:36:15 But then again, who is the president? If ICE wants to run through New York, they can run through New York? Regardless, really, with or without them. Right. So for the first time, New York Governor Kathy, really, with or without them. Right, so for the first time, New York Governor Kathy Hockel, she is talking about the possibility of removing New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office. So in a statement on Monday night,
Starting point is 00:36:31 Hockel says that she asked leaders to meet with her today for the conversation about a path forward with the goal of ensuring stability for the city of New York. Now she noted that no governor has ever been removed in the state history despite governors having the power to do so No governor has ever removed a mayor in state history despite having the power to do so So she also called reports of the past two weeks seemingly referring to the pending dismissal of
Starting point is 00:36:56 Adams federal charges and his charge and approach on immigration enforcement. I like sex So yeah that further speaks to the point I made earlier troubling and cannot be ignored. So immigration enforcement, I like that further, speaks to the point I made earlier, troubling and cannot be ignored. So immigration enforcement, basically, yeah, it sounds like people just, the drama is too much, it's just too much. The immigration enforcement is interesting though, man, because when you actually have conversations with people in New York City, it's mixed, right?
Starting point is 00:37:23 Because I've always told y'all about this guy, you know, who complained to me about MS-13, you know, running through his neighborhood, saw him last week and I just asked him, you know, how are things now? He said, all but one person. He said, he said, that's what he said to me last week. He said, I am so- He was like, my neighborhood, they got everybody. He said, it's all but one person. And he he said they all, they're all, the ones they haven't caught, they're running to Canada. But he told me last week. So you know, it's a mixed bag.
Starting point is 00:37:55 If you actually talk to people. All right. Well, I'm going to wrap it up there then. You guys, that's the front page news of Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media. And for more news coverage follow at black Information network download the free I heart radio app and visit us at BIN news.com.

I didn't go get that award because I'm not Dominican. But anyway, like I said, we have Tashon Jones. We're gonna kick it with him next. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning.
Starting point is 00:39:18 The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess and we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. We have Ty Shawn Jones, you are a professional skateboarder. Correct correct. Now how do you get to a quote unquote professional skateboarder title? Uh, well I always explain it to people like basketball. So there's phases. There's three phases first you go flow
Starting point is 00:39:47 Let's say that's like high school basketball. Then you go amateur. That's college and then you go pro that's NBA Okay, and what makes you pro is it it's just a company a board company has to turn you pro got you So like that's the way the culture is like your skateboard company is who determines when you go pro. And is your company like an agency or is it just like a governing company that looks at like what you've been doing like track record competitions or? No it's like a company that like you would be sponsored by this individual one so like I don't know like I'm trying to explain it in a way that child maybe remember like you remember like Zoo York. Yep. So Zoo York is a skateboard company or was previously they don't I don't think they make skateboards anymore
Starting point is 00:40:30 But zoo York would turn you pro if you response about them So that would be like basically like your team picking you up to go to the a it's a very lucrative business That's why I understand why more people don't you know get involved in it? Yeah, I think it's lucrative and I said like certain people It's wishy-washy some people get paid some people don't really get paid It's kind of like it just depends who you are and I guess your image. I first heard about you Sadly through some drama when you got kicked in Paris. Oh, yeah Pro skateboarder Tasha Jones kicked off his bike by a screen while riding in Paris and when I thought of me I was like, New York pro skateboarder, Tashaun Jones kicked off his bike by a screen
Starting point is 00:41:05 while riding in Paris. And then when I saw the video, I'm like, oh, he black. Yeah, that was very interesting occurrence. Why was that? Did you ever find out what that was about? So I never told the full story. I just kind of put it on Instagram because it was funny to me.

So we look at each other. He's like, please, Tyshawn, no. And I'm like, and I look back at the guy. He's like screaming at me.

And I'd be like, like, it's nothing I could do. What I'm going to go around Paris and look for this guy. So when you said, why would you do that? You didn't realize it was the guy you had just got into it at first? No, no, no. I was playing. I was trolling.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Oh, alright, alright, alright. No, I was just messing around. I knew why he did it. I mean, even though I didn't think, you know, I really did anything to him, he started with me. He was cursing at me and like screaming at me in French, calling me a effing American. But yeah, that's the full story for the world. Now, how did you get into skateboarding? When did you think it was gonna be a business? Because you know most people you know they skateboard they ride bikes for fun as a kid but when did you say oh this is a business gonna be my life? So I'll tell you the story how I got into skateboarding. It's really funny actually so my brother at
Starting point is 00:45:42 the time he's still my brother but we're not cool that's another funny story but um he we were at his cousin at his grandmother's house and her nieces and nephew lived there and um you remember those TVs that like was kind of built it not TV but it'll be a TV and it's like the speakers and stuff under like speakers and then it had like cabinets where you could put stuff exactly and then it had like remember like you could put stuff. Exactly, and then it had, like remember like the CD things, the books you could open up. I was born in 1970. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:46:09 That's like you don't know, you remember? So yeah, I remember those. Exactly, so it was one of those, they had that and they just had a bunch of video games in it. And we wanted it and we knew they wouldn't like ask us. I mean, they wouldn't give it to us. So we were like, let's take it. So we took like a couple of video games
Starting point is 00:46:26 and put it in my private parts so like if they started looking for it they wouldn't know where it went. We don't know what happened. The way you make stealing sound. We just bought it. Yeah you just, I just took it. You make it sound so interesting. We were kids, we were kids.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I was like nah he was probably 13. So we took the video games and one of them happened to be a skateboarding game Not Tony Hawk it's called skate. Okay, it was just called skate They have skate one skate to skate three and they they're finally making a new one after like a decade So I started playing the video games and when I played the game We were like I was like really in the video games. We didn't really go outside I lived in Jersey at this time and I learned about skateboarding kind of like the tricks and was like really into video games. We didn't really go outside. I lived in Jersey at this time. And I learned about skateboarding,
Starting point is 00:47:07 kind of like the tricks and stuff from playing the video game. And one day it was like summer, my mom came home and she was like, all y'all do is play the video game. Like y'all need to go outside. And we were like, we don't have no money. So she gave us like $60 each,
Starting point is 00:47:20 and then we walked to Target and bought skateboards. And then from there, I just kept skating and skating. And I was probably like nine we walked to Target and bought skateboards and then from there I just kept skating and skating and I was probably like nine ten at the time I didn't really know I could maybe make money off of it till I was like 14 They started getting paid. Yep. So I was supreme that potentially Moved on into me skating in it and then getting noticed and then yeah All right when we come back we have more with Tye Shawn Jones, professional skateboarder, it's the Breakfast Club, good morning.

How did you convince your mom that this could actually be a profession? I had to beg her honestly, I remember one of the first deals was coming around even signing with Supreme like the money was so small like she was like they trying to play you you look up on Google they worth I think at the time it was 40 million. She was like they not
Starting point is 00:48:19 about to play my son and I used to like cry I had to beg her like just please trust me like I'm not doing this for money I would do it for free like this is like it's gonna come I just have to like build my name I knew that if I like grind it one day I could potentially make money and like make some some real money but it wasn't really about the money to me at that time you know I was just young and I was like I would do this for free so you, you know, I just needed the opportunity I love stories like this because you know
Starting point is 00:48:47 I always say you just got to listen to your kids and your kids will tell you exactly what it is that they want To do so you was playing this game And then when you got this money you went out and you bought this skateboard Like what was in your mind like what was on your spirit that said? I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life This is what's gonna change the trajectory of my life. Well I remember it was like a definitive moment where I like made a decision and I was young. I wanted to be a wrestler and I wanted to be Spider-Man too. Like that's what I was
Starting point is 00:49:15 into like I used to have like I used to like really like Spider-Man. I thought that that was a profession. Bob Marales or Peter Parker? that was a profession and I wanted to be a wrestler as well and then I was skating so I would like I was like my mom was like which one are you getting to be and then I was just like we moved back to the Bronx and I was like yeah I'm gonna just skate like that was the most fun to me I just stuck with that so yeah. And there was a period where it's like hip-hop Really? I guess kind of made skateboarding I guess I'm not cool
Starting point is 00:49:49 Or maybe we would I'm not gonna say cool because it was already cool But when the hip-hop artists started doing that it kind of made it easier for you as a black kid Yeah, yeah for sure. I feel like growing up in the Bronx and stuff people be like make references Tony Hawk obviously Lil Wayne stuff like that. I feel like even though like Lupe he's known but I feel like certain people where I'm from at least I'm not gonna say they don't know Lupe but that's not like first to mind like they'll probably be like yeah like Wayne and I don't even know. Like I see Pharrell because they would say Kick Push but I don't think they put two and
Starting point is 00:50:22 two together like you know what I'm saying like I don't know if they even know who sing that song. It was just more like a famous song. What did that do for skateboarding culture? From your perspective. I mean that was already like out so I didn't see it firsthand. I don't think skateboarding was accepted where I grew up. Like it was like people used to just like kind of laugh
Starting point is 00:50:41 and thought it was like funny that I skated but I was into it. But I remember I kind of lived like two lives like cuz you know I grew up in New York and like having like family in the streets and stuff so they always kept me fly so when I would go to school I would wear like Jordans and like stuff like that but then I would go home and like put on my skate clothes it was kind of like I had a double life like I would go to school in the Bronx and like this crazy Environment and then I would like go home change my clothes take the train all the way downtown
Starting point is 00:51:16 And it was like a different world for me like it was white people Asian people all different type of Races just brought together by skateboard, and it's not really like color and skateboarding like it's just like everybody kind of having fun So they get into get into it a lot too like I would always see I feel like people always thought skateboarders were soft yeah and I would always see skateboarders f*** somebody up all the time with them skateboards beat somebody's ass and beat somebody's car up did y'all always get in the problems or trouble where people thought y'all were soft or cut y'all off or I mean for sure definitely I think like people don't associate skateboarding with like being tough, but you know, that's anything. You know, I'm not saying that people walk around
Starting point is 00:51:50 like I'm a tough guy, but now soft. It's just like, but like a skateboard is a weapon. If you hit somebody with a weapon, like I've known people who hit people with skateboards and like put them in a coma. Like you don't even play with that. Like it's like a metal object that really hurt somebody. So that's like, if you have to do that.
Starting point is 00:52:06 But obviously, like you see in kids, they hit the guy with the skateboard and stuff. It's happened, but it's really dangerous. It's funny too, you said you used to get fly, but then you go home and dress like a skater, but there was a time where that was getting fly for some people. Yeah, I mean, I remember the transition.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Like at first, like I used to wear skate stuff and they would be like, you look like a white boy or whatever. But then it kind of like got popular, you know, with like streetwear and all that stuff and then it was more accepted. So it was funny to see the transition. But it's dope when, you know, to me, some skaters don't like it when they feel like people come into the culture. But I think it's cool.
Starting point is 00:52:42 It brings more eyes to the sport and all of that stuff so Was Virgil, I read that Virgil, you and Virgil Abloh had a really good relationship? Yeah we were cool. Speaking of streetwear. Yeah yeah we were actually working on something before he passed away it never came to light but yeah um Virgil was cool we would talk we were gonna do a collaboration with my brand and Off-White that we were working on but yeah his untimely demise Yeah, never came out. When stuff like that happens. Do you just let the whole idea die? I mean, I really didn't have a I didn't know what to do. You know at that time. What was it? 2021? I remember my modeling agent called me and told me but I wasn't gonna be like, you know, people are grieving and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:53:25 I'm not gonna reach out to his family or like, you know, sorry for your loss. But by the way, we were working on it You know if they if somebody from his team knew about it and they reached out and was like I knew you guys were working on this like we want to continue it but that never happened and it's okay You know, what do you hurt yourself to get as good as you have gotten? How many falls, injuries, broken bones? Knock on wood I never really I never broke a bone. But you obviously you fall and stuff like I just think skateboarding teaches like it's like a life lesson like you have to keep going to get over the hurdle you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:54:03 like yeah if I had a dollar for every time I've heard like, yeah, I tried skateboarding once but I fell and I quit. You know what I'm saying? Because people don't like to fall once or twice and then they're just like, oh, that hurt. But like you get used to it. It's like working out when you first start working out, your body's really sore and you keep doing it and you keep doing it and you get used to it.
Starting point is 00:54:21 And you learn you just have to like want to strive to get better. Alright we got more with Ty Shawn Jones when we come back it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with professional skateboarder Ty Shawn Jones. Correct, correct. I was asking you know what do you do to push the limit right?
Starting point is 00:54:41 Because I've seen a lot of things you did. You work with Louis Vuitton right? You with Steve and Victor. He's a lot of things you did. You work with Louis Vuitton, right? You were with Steven Victor. He's a friend of the house. Friend of the house. I've seen you jump over million dollar Ferraris in the middle of Manhattan. So what do you do to push the limit for the next generation
Starting point is 00:54:54 at things that we haven't seen or things that you want to do? I just think it's limitless. Even to the Ferrari, let's just use that as an example. I try to, when I skate I want to like make it Relatable because skateboarding to me is so what's the word? It's just like you don't understand it You just see like somebody flying in the air and I think that skateboarding gets like culturally It's like accepted because people understand it's cool
Starting point is 00:55:22 And it's like the like some people won't call it a sport but it's the sport that like The outsiders because you do it alone. It's individual like basketball Something like that. It's a team and you go to a stadium and stuff like that And it's more you could dissect it easier like, you know, somebody's running down the court. They pass they shoot It's two is three, you know I'm saying trip skateboard and you can't learn everything It's impossible because there's like combos You could jump onto this table and manual and this that you know I'm saying so it's literally Impossible to be able to do every trick. So and I think that's why I gravitated to it as well
Starting point is 00:55:56 Because you know to me I like to keep setting the bar, but um, you still learn new tricks You still do new things or oh man. It's kind of hard because I'm not I try still learn new tricks you still do new things or oh man. It's kind of hard Because I'm not I try to learn new tricks sometimes I get new tricks But now I'm at a point like you know it's a gift that occurs But I go to the skate park and people watch me so it's kind of like run You know I'm saying so it's kind of like a little like weird Sometimes trying to learn a trick because people look at you at this point like you're professional like they think in their mind like you probably could just land everything so when you're trying to like go into the like i'm trying to train kind of vibe at like a public place and somebody might be filming you or this it's just kind of hard you know what i'm saying you don't
Starting point is 00:56:38 see you know luca in the park practicing you know i'm saying he has a private facility where he's training and he could try to learn new things. So I'm working on that right now to try to get a private indoor skate park so I can practice. Are there new tricks though? I mean, yeah, not new tricks, but tricks you probably haven't done, you know what I'm saying? Like, sorry to keep referring back to basketball,
Starting point is 00:56:59 but like, you know, somebody might not be able to go left as easy as, you know what I'm saying? So they could practice that or they can't dunk through their leg, you know what I'm saying? So it's impossible to know everything, you know, as good as you are, you could always progress. So, you know. I know Sharla asks about what was the LV, the Friend of the House thing.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I told him he would explain it. And Pharrell brought you into that. Was it because of the Virgil relationship or just because he's been like watching what you've been doing? I don't know if it's because of the Virgil relationship. I think he's just a fan of skateboard and he obviously skateboards. He likes the sport and the culture and I thought I was a good representative for the brand. And bad, I guess I'm sponsored by Louis Vuitton. Does it mean you do events with them? Yeah, events, clothes, go to the shows, campaigns, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:57:47 So yeah, money. Are black people accepted into skating? Like is it one of those things where it's just... Yeah, I think black people are accepted as skating for sure. I mean, I don't think there's like a lot of professional black skaters, maybe like 20, 25. But yeah, I think we were accepted for sure and what's the evolution of skateboarding and really the evolution of you because you know and I hear things like skate 4 is coming out like what
Starting point is 00:58:13 damn are you in that they're gonna be I don't know I'm it I'm in an Tony Hawk coming out so oh that's cool they got a new one a remaster and so that's about to come I was in the last one the evolution of skateboarding that's cool they got a new one they remastering so that's about to come out. I was in the last one. The evolution of skateboarding that's a great question I don't know it's in Olympics now you know I just think it's getting bigger and better like Louis Vuitton is sponsoring it so I'm excited to see where it goes. Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? How goes lower? I met Santi at a luau party in October. I'm Santi. Damien. Oh, it was bizarre.
Starting point is 00:58:47 The guy just disappeared one day. Santi has been missing ever since. The hookup. What is that? I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now? Like, no matter how hard I try, all roads lead to... The hookup. You think it's causing people to turn aggro?
Starting point is 00:59:06 I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to- Yeah, that's a word for it. This is such terrible representation, I'm so sorry. Poppers? These aren't just any poppers. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. No. Not my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either.

Starting point is 01:01:06 It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me.
Starting point is 01:01:33 I'm Ashlyn Harris. Maybe it does get to a place where it's like a basketball or football and people really dive into it more and look at it and try to understand it a little bit more besides just like skateboarders are cool or like have like a fashion aspect to them. So it's unknown where it could go I think this guy's the limit. And Tony Hawk's still the guy guy right like he is he the godfather of it all?
Starting point is 01:01:59 For sure. It's interesting we had a guy I was having a conversation with somebody it's interesting that he made it like really mainstream Like when people think a skateboard and they refer to him Yeah, but it's only been one like, you know, like imagine music when people thought a rap they just like Biggie Biggie you want to be like Biggie, but there's a thousand rapper, you know I'm saying so that just goes to show like how like skateboarding is just weird in that way that it hasn't been like everybody who's like super famous off skateboarding they got famous doing other things like Tony Hawk he's so famous because
Starting point is 01:02:33 of the video games Rob Dyrdek is Rob Dyrdek because he had the tv show so I think there's always another element to like getting over to that real mainstream level you know what I'm saying I don't think anybody's ever successfully did it just being a skateboarder. How'd you connect with Steven Victor? Through a friend. I called a friend and I was like I'm looking for a Ferrari or like a sports car that I want to jump over. I was like I know your friend has some. Do you think he would like let me rent one from him and do it? he's like let me call you back and I was like, alright, he called me back like immediately and
Starting point is 01:03:11 He was we were on three-way and he was like, so tell him what you want to do and I was like, uh, I Want to like jump over your car with a skateboard? Would you let me rent it? I'll like put some insurance like I'll put some money down in case something happens and he was like nah that's what insurance is for and I was like alright and he's like he's like that sounds fire like let's do it let's meet a friend had been coming in New York as he was living in LA and he was like we're gonna go to his office and then we came to his office and he was he was like so what do you want to do again and I was like just telling him like he's like you
Starting point is 01:03:47 think you could do it I was like yeah I think so like for sure and then he's like are we gonna set it up this week and then like three days later we made it happen it was just something I wanted to do like I just have you know random ideas I'm real like yeah like that wasn't a typical Ferrari because yeah no for sure one of very few being able to call a friend Who gets to even Victor on the phone? No this for always about two million dollar Ferrari probably four million right now This is it has no top. It's it's one of those ones that there is no fixing it Yeah, you you you set up this yeah, sirat, but it was it
Starting point is 01:04:18 But that's why you say you make it sound like that, but it was innocent It wasn't like so premeditated like I wanted to do it but I didn't know that it was gonna be like that you know I'm saying like I did no not even just the car I didn't know that like people would gravitate to it so crazy I thought you know I'm saying but it resonates you know exactly how I said like you don't know tricks but you know that car you get I'm saying so in your mind you like oh he just jumped over a four million dollar car you know I'm saying so I in your mind you're like, oh shit, he just jumped over a $4 million car. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:04:45 And the way I first saw it, I just thought it was the car was parked and you just did it rogue. I'm like, then when I found out that, well I said, Steven is crazy. Yeah. Like I don't know what it was, he got too much money for all that.
Starting point is 01:04:54 So basically, Steven Victor charged you 10 to 15% for the rest of your life. Just to jump over his car. We made a moment, you know, we're trying to make more. Well we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you so much, man, appreciate it. And we to make more. We appreciate you for joining us. Thank you so much man, appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Keep encouraging kids man.
Starting point is 01:05:09 And I'm going to be honest with you, you're the only skateboarder I know right now. So I'm going to be watching you and in my mind, you Tony Hawk. So when I bring up skateboard now, I'm going to be like, yeah Tashaun Jones. Killing it out here. That's right. Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me and it's a real full circle moment I'm not gonna lie. I watch breakfast club on YouTube like I'll be on YouTube when I go home and I watch you guys stuff So really appreciate you having me
Starting point is 01:05:32 I was gonna bring a skateboard to see if you could teach us all a trick, but we too When I get this when I get this skate park I come through say no more It's Tasha Jones. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Jess hilarious. I mean the guy we are the breakfast club. I just can't do it. Why we playing this right? Just gotta laugh man. I just don't get it. Just laugh. Just laugh. Let's get the Jess with the mess She's just real. Whether it's MacLurin, Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Get your game, talk your face real. She don't spare nobody. Get your game, talk your face real. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. Get your game, talk your face real. On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. She was able to get y'all to see something
Starting point is 01:06:17 and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it all. So why ain't gonna lie, I've never really been like a big fan of SNL, but the SNL 50 was big and I've seen a couple big moments that were talked about a lot. The Jeopardy I saw, shout out to Leslie Jones, that's my girl. Oh yeah, she killed it. She was hosting, I think it was the E-Carpet, she got to do that as people were going into
Starting point is 01:06:40 the SNL party after. She was everywhere this weekend, but everybody popped out. Some of the biggest celebrities in the world have been a part of the SNL party after. Yeah, she was everywhere this weekend, but everybody popped out like, I mean, some of the biggest celebrities in the world have been a part of the SNL umbrella. So of course, the moments are big this weekend as they celebrated SNL turning 50. Now one of the highlights for me anytime you get to see Eddie Murphy back on stage or back on screen. So they did this skit with Eddie Murphy and it kind of leaned into the Nuddy Professor Hemminkini. They did a scarce, scared straight skit. Let's listen to that. Oh, yeah, look at them pretty brown eyes. They gonna love you in prison. Arianna Pacueno. Why'd you shop there? Huh? I was just trying to impress my girlfriend. She think is hell. You think I never tried to
Starting point is 01:07:19 impress a woman? You know what? I was a 400, huh? And I fell in love with Jake Pinkett. But he was ashamed of his weight, so he drank a serum that turned him into Buddy Love. Then you go to a dinner at the Clums House and you realize that everybody at the table is the same person. Cause this is real. Yo, okay, that's almost certainly the nutty professor. You better shut your damn mouth, because you're freezing! You'll be professing your love of m****, alright? Professor Club was ahead of his time, because that ceremony ain't nothing but
Starting point is 01:07:54 olympic now. And the manjarro and all that other stuff. Things like that, like, uh, asking those kids, they make me miss the wands. Oh, the, the end of the color Living Color? Yep 100%. They had them doing the writing and had them doing you know shout out to everybody. Canaan and Eddie and Will Ferrell and they my people but the Wayans like they supposed to be doing stuff like this. You're saying the Wayans are just better than S&L as you're saying? Absolutely. It's how I'm sold to. It's different. It's different with them for sure. In Living Color and Chappelle.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Jim Curry I needed all of them. Now, Essendale back in the day though, when it was like the Will Ferrells and the Tina Fays and Eddie. All of them were there by the way. Yeah, back in the day it was hilarious. When they could get a little crazy. So they had this one skit where they kind of threw back to that. It was like an in memory, in random, however you say that word.
Starting point is 01:08:43 And it basically was like them throwing back to the times where like they had like very sketchy moments or guests that now it just doesn't age well. But it wasn't controversial at the time, but now it is. Now controversy. 100%. So let's take-
Starting point is 01:08:57 Like these skits couldn't have been dropped today. Or just the guests wouldn't have been allowed to come on today. SNL problematic skits, let's take a listen to that. I'm speaking of course about SNL characters and sketches that have aged horribly. We now present to you this in memoriam. Why don't you drop out of that green jumpsuit
Starting point is 01:09:15 and show me that fat ass? Looks like this is my lucky day. I'll take the rapists for 200. That's therapist. They got guys dancing with guys, girls dancing with girls, guys who look like girls dancing with girls. For those of you hissing at that joke, it should be noted that that joke was written by a woman.
Starting point is 01:09:34 No, I'm just kidding. We don't hire women. Fuck daddy. Don't judge a book by its cover. My man is like R. Kelly. Thank you to R. Kelly. I'm Jared Boga from Subway. They input Chevy Chase when he said the n word though. They input that when he was an SNL cast member. Too problematic. Too problematic.
Starting point is 01:09:55 They still had to keep it a little cute. R Kelly's attorney did come out and speak on this SNL like the fact that they mentioned him and she said that it was rather arrogant that SNL sees it as their job to decide Who should and should not be canceled? But at this point, I mean we didn't I haven't heard our Kelly's name one thing You won't know is what it is. What somebody attorney says Attorney talk TMZ calm NBC MSNBC the Breakfast Club Talk because I'm not is TMZ calm NBC MSNBC the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 01:10:32 Seeing our Kelly on SNL. I remember that I think it's them leaning into just saying like Diddy was talking about our Kelly So it's the no our Kelly was on the show. He was on there with Lady Gaga But I saw that story I saw it there, but I didn't I never saw him on me Yeah, I mean either I'm just saying that the attorney upset but honestly, I haven't heard his name in a while So I wouldn't be upset if I was her at least somebody's mentioning him somewhere. I don't always say all Kelly names, it's always some stuff I mean it's not really like report worthy but he'd be some stuff coming out. Well this was the one thing that got people pissed off and I thought that this was the lightest thing that happened all night. Tom Hanks played a character during the Black Jeopardy skit a
Starting point is 01:11:02 character named Doug who's a MAGA. Let's take a listen to that. This religious character has made people laugh for years. Oh, it is Doug. How you doing, Darnell? Now, I heard a fellow could win some money here and I know exactly who that is. The church lady. Yes, yes, that is correct, Doug. Now speaking of church, can I say something? If more folks went to church, we wouldn't be in this mess we're in now.
Starting point is 01:11:33 You know what, I agree with you, Doug. I'd like to shake your hand, sir. Here we go. Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no, it's just a handshake. Yeah, it's just a handshake. Yeah, all right. Thank you, my brother.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Now maybe I'll start a show for you to come on and we'll call it white jeopardy. We don't need it. We don't need it. So they're mocking, white lives matter. They are making MAGA supporters out to be racist. That's how the MAGA supporters feel anyway, because he wouldn't shake Kenan's hand. And he had a MAGA hat on. And he had a MAGA hat on and he's like, everybody needs to go to church.
Starting point is 01:12:02 The MAGA supporters were so upset at this. They're like, yo, Trump is the president at this point. Y'all need to let it go like whatever however y'all feel y'all need to let it go I didn't think that that was an issue though. They should be upset cuz it wasn't funny And this is what y'all got to say but yeah So that was SNL 50 the after party was crazy to everybody popped out for the after party as well Too Kim Kardashian Leslie Jones was there as well. What about the performances any performances? Yeah Little Wayne performed you had Lauren healed there as well. And honestly people time she going on she was on She was on time, but people were actually like I guess not confused but they were excited to see little Wayne performing
Starting point is 01:12:45 and having a good time and doing well and Regené had to pop out and be like get off his you know. Well how did he sound? Let's take a listen we got it. I let one go. Get the fuck out. I don't love bro. I'm aiming at your head like a buffalo. And you a rough neck? Well I'm a cutthroat. If you a tough guy, then that's enough jokes. And then the sun die. The night is young though.
Starting point is 01:13:09 The night will still shine in a rough glow. Hey, what the fuck though? Where the love go? Five, four, three, two, I let one go. He sound like Lil Wayne. Sound good to me. Yeah, he sound good. But people were like, oh my God, he's moving around the stage.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Oh my God, he's having a good time. Like he's alert. She's like, yo, stop playing with him. Like my dad is a good guy. I'm like, I'm not playing with him. I'm just playing with him. I'm just playing with him. I'm just playing with him. I'm just playing with him. I'm just playing with him. I'm just playing with me. Yeah he sound good to me. But people were like oh my god he's moving around the stage oh my god he's having a good time oh my like he's alert. She's like yo stop playing with him like my dad have a good time he perform all the time go play with somebody else.
Starting point is 01:13:33 They try to say Lil Wayne was incapacitated in their conservatorship or something? That's how they try to make it seem after he didn't get the Super Bowl is like he's not capable of doing anything. Dave Chappelle introduced him into the performance as well too. Dave Chappelle actually had some good skits too. He did the immigrant dad skit. I thought it was funny. It was like a Mexican. He was the black neighbor, black Richard. That was funny too. I missed all of that. How long was this show? This show was like two and a half hours long. I thought it was two days. Well, you watch it on Peacock straight through. It was like two and a half hours long. If it was two days, I didn't watch both days. I know that they did a pre thing, they did S&L, they did an after party, it was a whole weekend thing. Yeah, S&L 50, I think, yeah, go ahead. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Well that is Jess with the mess. Thank you Jess, thank you Lauren. Now when we come back, Charlamagne, donkey today, who you giving your donkey to?

The way things are going, they're gonna sign an executive order to make me change that intro soon.
Starting point is 01:15:15 But Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, February 18th goes to the US Department of Education. Well, should I say Donald Trump's US Department of Education. Now, if you haven't been paying attention to what's going on in the world because it hasn't popped up on Shade Room just yet, let me be the first to tell you that Donald Trump and the Department of Education have decided to eliminate all race-based programs in schools. Okay, and they got 14 days to get rid of it. That's right. The Department of Education plans to cut funding for initiatives that address racial disparities in education.
Starting point is 01:15:45 They will penalize schools that consider race in scholarships, hiring, and a bunch of other activities. They warn schools that they risk losing federal funding if they continue to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions are so much as nodded to race in all other aspects of student, academic, and campus life. Oh, I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to the national desk for the report, please.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Doge's newest target, diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Department of Education, identifying 70 DEI training grants amounting to $373 million. According to Doge, one such grant trained teachers to engage in self-reflection to confront their own biases and racism. This comes as the Department of Education continues its crackdown on DEI programs and policies in schools. On Friday, the acting assistant secretary sent out a letter reminding institutions any discrimination based on race, color or national origin is illegal, adding institutions failing to comply with federal civil rights law face potential loss of federal funding. Critics, quick to respond.
Starting point is 01:16:51 What does this mean? Are they going to take away funding from historically black colleges? Are they going to take away funding from public schools that have a Latino student union, to me, it indicates just the fanatical obsession that this administration has in terms of going against DEI. This is America, 2025. You know America's core values, allegedly have always been liberty, equality, and justice. These values are supposed to be the foundation of American democracy, but they aren't, okay, been it's liberty equality and justice for white men and
Starting point is 01:17:29 then there's the rest of us all right in fact the only reason things like affirmative action exists is because government needed a remedy for the effects of long-standing discrimination in this country now somebody needs to explain to me what's changed okay in a country where systemic racism is literally rooted in every institution, the solution is now to pretend that racism and other forms of discrimination just simply don't exist. Let's go back to doing things the way they were being done
Starting point is 01:17:55 before these race-based programs existed. So let's go back to doing what caused us to have to come up with the race-based programs to begin with. This is all part of a broader agenda to remove what they call wokeness from American education. And look, I don't care for wokeness either, okay? I believe most woke people just simply need some sleep. But the reality is, wokeness and programs designed
Starting point is 01:18:15 to level the playing field for marginalized students are not the same, okay? You can't just strip away those programs. That's like having a leaky roof and you decide to fix that leaky roof by removing the roof entirely. That would make no sense. Now, this is also the latest step in the Trump administration's move to reshape programs intended to make things equal for historically underserved populations as a form of racial
Starting point is 01:18:40 discrimination. Craig Traynor, who's the Education Department's Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, said, Related programs and scholarships, many of which have historically helped black and Latino students attain college degrees, our fine community had come at the expense of white and Asian students, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Let me read to you a quote from Craig Trainnor because this is interesting. He said, and I quote, "'At its core, the test is simple. If an educational institution treats a person
Starting point is 01:19:11 of one race differently than it treats another person because of that person's race, the educational institution violates the law.' Well, God damn, how many institutions have treated white people differently and given them preferential treatment over every other other? Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Trainer says, put simply educational institutions may need to separate or segregate students based on race nor distribute benefits or burdens based on race. I could be wrong because I am not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but we got to these race based programs. We implemented things like affirmative action to make sure that policies and programs gave limited preferences to minorities and women, not just in institutions of higher education,
Starting point is 01:19:52 but job hiring, awarding the government contracts, other social benefits. They had to implement these things because if they didn't, white privilege would rule everything around me. Education is supposed to be the great equalizer, but how can it be when the very programs aimed at uplifting the underserved are being dismantled? Donald Trump and the Department of Education are sending a
Starting point is 01:20:11 very clear message and that message is F you niggas. Alright they aren't interested in addressing the real issues of inequality in our schools instead they would rather gaslight us, tell us we trippin, sweep the inequality under the rug and then tell us to act like we don't see the lump. So all these colleges that offer scholarships and grants specifically for students of certain ethnic backgrounds, all that's just gone. Schools are just barred from using race and decisions pertaining to admissions and hiring and promotion, compensation, financial aid scholarships prizes administrative support discipline housing graduation ceremonies and all
Starting point is 01:20:48 other aspects of student academic and campus life who is gonna be policing this okay what about America in 2025 should make any of us believe we can trust people to do the right thing in regards to prejudice and discrimination because if you ask me what the Department of Education is currently doing is indeed prejudice and discrimination because if you ask me what the Department of Education is currently doing is indeed prejudice and discrimination and you know the main reason we should teach the true history of America so we don't repeat our mistakes Winston Churchill once said those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it we have learned nothing and so here we are
Starting point is 01:21:23 please let Kathy Griffin give the Department of Education the biggest hee haw. Please give this giant jar of mail the biggest hee haw. It's cold world. Yes it is. It's cold world. It's crazy. All right. Well thank you for that donkey today.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. now we were talking about this earlier with all the recent plane crashes and close calls on the runway Are you scared to fly? Does it make you nervous? 800 585 105 1 we see what happened with Delta in Toronto the plane flipped over We've seen what happened in even a private jet in Philly where you know the plane went right into a residential neighborhood It is 45,000 commercial flights a day 45,000 commercial flights a day and it's been two incidents with commercial flights
Starting point is 01:22:17 I just feel like maybe because it's so close like you know what I mean, and then whether it's DC like you know what I mean and then whether it's commercial or not you know what I mean DC, Philly and then the plane was coming from Kansas City and then another plane like it's just a lot like I feel like it's a lot you know and anytime you fly for a living you look at stuff like that like because that's what I do I fly a lot so right I live with that like damn you know because at anytime it could be any plane anybody I mean well we're saying it's a lot, but the reality is there's been two commercial flights. And it is the safest way to travel. They're saying flying is still one of the safest ways to travel. It's safer than driving, it's safer than anywhere else.
Starting point is 01:22:54 I still don't doubt that, but it's just a lot going on. Like when you hear these stories, you know what I mean? It's a lot. Well, let's open up the phone lines. We'll take your calls when we come back. 800-585-1051. Call us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your, pull out your phone. Call in right now.
Starting point is 01:23:12 Call me. Add your opinion 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 NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we open up the the phone lines 800-585-1051 We're asking with the recent plane crashes and the close calls on the runway Are you scared to fly now? Let's start with you Jessel. You scared to fly? Yeah, I'm scared to fly
Starting point is 01:23:54 You know it's not that to the point that I won't do it, but I'm definitely Frightened you know what I mean like since the DC collision that has definitely had me a little frazzled You know what I mean? But I was debating and not even going to Super Bowl weekend, you know, wow Yeah, I'm not scared to fly but I'm definitely more aware of what's been going on Like like even me checking my surroundings gonna do something but it just makes me feel better But with all the recent crashes and the close calls, I still know that flying is the safest way to travel I mean when you're on that flying is the safest way to travel. I mean, when you're on that road,
Starting point is 01:24:26 there's so many people at slick highways, there's people falling asleep, there's so many other obstacles. So I wouldn't say that I'm scared, but I'm definitely more aware. What about you, Shuller Man? Well, you know, it's interesting, right? Because all I need to see is one thing happen one time
Starting point is 01:24:42 in order for me to think it's gonna happen to me, good or bad. I don't know if I'm scared though. and the reason I don't think I'm scared is because I just do math you know 45,000 flights happen in America a day like just commercial flights. When we look at you know people use words like we say all of these are a lot of it's only been two commercial flights that if this has happened to. And the flight that happened in DC, that was the first time in what,
Starting point is 01:25:09 16 years or something like that? A long time, yeah. Yeah, and so. But still, it's still scary though. Like, maybe on that flight those people. It is, but when you put about, when you think about it in context, 45,000 commercial flights a day
Starting point is 01:25:22 and two commercial flights have had some mishaps. Yeah, I get it, but that that lady think about the lady on that flight that texted her husband when she was on the way down she was seven minutes from landing. That's the DC flight. Or the plane the plane that landed it actually I've just seen the video it actually landed and then flipped over you I've never heard of a plane flipped over. Wow. Well they said it was the win I don't know what it was you know I'm saying they landed in Toronto maybe they was listening to Drake and P&D's album didn't really like it and the plane. Oh shut up Nobody died with you. I'm just I'm just sad. Let's just put things in context people
Starting point is 01:25:55 Even what you said envy when you said like how have that a plane is heavy as hell How would a gust of wind flip a plane over? Well you're talking about an act of nature now. When God's ready to flip some stuff over, he can flip stuff over. Yeah, but I'm saying if it could flip a plane over, was there anything else damaged in that area? That's a plane, yo.
Starting point is 01:26:19 A commercial flight. That wind is taking trees out the ground nowadays. The wind is, this wind ain't the wind we grew up on. We talk about climate change and everything but this wind is way stronger nowadays than it was back in the day. But I just want us to put things in perspective. When we're going around saying things like a lot and all of it's been two. Two commercial flights have had mishaps in 2025. Let's go to the flight attendant. People ask, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:49 People have awesome dollars. Yeah, but I'm just saying, just cause you ain't scared don't mean you gotta keep repeating this 45,000 flights. Yeah, you should put things in context. We get that, but at the same time, these two. I understand what y'all saying. Everybody died on a DC flight Everybody died and that's hard. Yeah, that is terrible
Starting point is 01:27:10 But I'm just saying we got to put things in context because you still got to fly I still got to fly everybody's don't got to fly you 45,000 flights fly a day Yeah, but I will say this before we go to the phone calls It makes me really think about when those flight attendants be doing a whole security spill and a whole safety spill. I don't be paying them no mind, but now, I'm gonna be like, well, let me just double check. Cause even with the seatbelt, I see a lot of people that don't even put their seatbelt on,
Starting point is 01:27:34 but could you imagine those people upside down with no seatbelt on? Crazy. I wanna say one more thing, cause you said this earlier, Envy, and it's true. Not only is flying still the safest way to fly, there's way more accidents on the road, but we ain't scared to drive every day. No, I'm not actually. That's my point. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:27:49 So because I think you have more, you feel like you have more control driving, like you're driving yourself and you feel like you have more control. You can see what happens. I don't have more control than what everybody else is doing. You know the things that scare me on the road is when you hear these accidents about like you're going through a light like a green light But somebody decided to run a red like that member that incident that happened in California back in the day That's the stuff I think about all right. Well. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello. Who's this? Hey good morning, we're talking about with the recent plane crashes are you scared to fly mama? Oh, so I'm not I'm not scared to fly
Starting point is 01:28:23 And the reason being is because I actually work in the aviation industry. Oh. I see planes going off yeah I see planes going off every day. Planes are still going off. I will say though I've noticed like people aren't mindful of when to travel like people are just worried about getting to where they want to get to they're not really being mindful of if you're flying to an area that has really bad weather, you know, sometimes it's okay to hold off a day or two before you want to get there or, you know, catch a flight there. A lot of people just come up to us like we need to get home now. We need to
Starting point is 01:28:58 get there now. Is there another flight? Like they're not worried about their safety at all. Can I ask you a question? Since you work aviation? You know they announced that hundreds of FAA employees were fired by the Trump administration. What does that mean exactly? Alright they're talking about air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers, ATC, are the people that are in charge of, they're like basically police in the air that are in charge of the plane to let them know okay you can go off you can land or all right you got to go this way they give them their route they give them everything like before you go off into the air you have to contact air
Starting point is 01:29:33 traffic control so they could give you a route to go to your destination and they fired a bunch of those people so they're kind of short staff in that area and it is making it difficult for them because we need them. Like all captains and planes and airlines need a lot of air traffic controls because they're the ones who control. Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? How goes lower? I met Santi at a luau party in October. I'm Santi. Damien. Oh, it was bizarre. The guy just disappeared one day. Santi has been missing ever since. The Hook Up. What is that?
Starting point is 01:30:10 I'm solving a mystery through sex and haven't made a private dick joke until now? Like, no matter how hard I try, all roads lead to... The Hook Up? You think it's causing people to turn aggro? I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to- Yeah, that's a word for it. causing people to turn aggro? I'm gonna rip your arms off and use them to- Yeah, that's a word for it. This is such terrible representation, I'm so sorry. Poppers?
Starting point is 01:30:32 These aren't just any poppers. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. No, my psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either. ["I Heart Radio App," by The Bachelorette plays.] No. My psychiatrist didn't laugh at that one either.

Starting point is 01:32:15 Listen to My Legacy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. This is My Legacy. It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you,
Starting point is 01:32:46 if anyone knows this, it's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris. Especially when there's weather, like let's just say if it's snowing, like it's been snowing in Boston up north a lot and they're canceling all flights like yesterday and between yesterday and the day before yesterday, at least a thousand jetblue flights were canceled going into Boston and coming out of Boston Because it's like two three four feet of snow in Boston So I know it was both It was they canceled a lot of flights in Boston when I was coming back from my day daughter's dance competition People couldn't make it back. I drove back but people couldn't make it back
Starting point is 01:33:18 Yeah, so they're in charge of helping us making sure that we don't go into the air into bad weather You know and so why would they fire that's what I'm saying why would you fire hundreds of these people and not have a replacement for thank you mama I just say be mindful of when you're flying if you know there's gonna be bad weather just take a day or two and just wait thank you mama but. But I will say this, I think we trust in them airlines to make those decisions for us, right? Cause we don't know how bad it is. So, you know, we see snow, we see rain, we see wind,
Starting point is 01:33:52 and we trust that those airlines will make the decision because they would know better than us, right? So if we get on that plane, we're thinking that they're making a decision that say, hey, we can fly you guys there safely. So it's hard for a person to do it, you know? And then the crazy thing about it, that is when the airline cancelled a flight everybody made and then that's when you start trying to find other flights that's what that lady
Starting point is 01:34:11 was just saying like maybe it's the reason that they cancel and like chill out take that as a sign but y'all go book other flights and find other ways to get there you know what I mean so. Well 800-585-1051 we're asking are you scared to fly call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club Good morning. Good morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlemagne the guy We are the Breakfast Club if you're just joining us. We're opening up the phone lines 800 585 105 1 of course there was a plane crash over the weekend in Toronto nobody died Thank God the plane actually flipped upside down
Starting point is 01:34:44 So we're asking with the recent plane crashes and close calls on the runway are you scared to fly hello who's this hey I don't mention what's up brother we asking are you scared to fly it's a man called scared to fly but every time I do get on the plane it is very nerve-racking I'm not saying you know I always just put that inside of God's hands most of the time I just pray and, you know, hopefully we get this safe and come out. When I get my loved ones that we get on these type of things, you know, when you get on, you've got to really just be consequential and put that in God's
Starting point is 01:35:19 hands mostly. That is true. I can't sit here and act like I'm any more concerned to fly than I was before all of this because You're literally in a seat in the sky And I'm the guy that'll get on the plane especially on long flights and give pilots Dunkin Donuts cards and You know what? I mean literally I do stuff like that to the pilots because your life is in these people's hands, right? So we're acting so concerned now, but when the last time you got on the plane and said, thank you pilot for getting us safely
Starting point is 01:35:44 All the time Hello. Who's this? Hey, what's up, bro? You scared to fly? No, look, I ain't gonna lie. My first time flying was back in May last year for my daughter's birthday. I was terrified. I was terrified. Where'd you go? We went to Texas. They got that big color heart, the biggest color heart in the world. Yep.
Starting point is 01:36:10 It was actually nice though. You feel me? But I was sitting by the window. That was my problem. And I was sitting like right behind the wing. I'm looking out the window. All I see is the wing flapping. I'm thinking, find the best place.
Starting point is 01:36:20 And that mother about to f*** them up. She said the wing was flapping. That is not what we're talking about. Yeah, that mother was moving, bro up. She said the wing was flapping. That is not what I was thinking. Yeah, that mother was moving, bro. Like a bird, that mother was, it was shaking. You got on there high. No, look, I was too sober, that was my problem. That mother was wobbling.
Starting point is 01:36:34 But I'm trying to make it like a yearly thing for my daughter's birthday every year. Try to take a plane somewhere different, just to show her something. She just turned full-lashes, she defied these defied it. Trying to make new memories with her. I like that. Thank you, brother. I will say this too.
Starting point is 01:36:49 You know, my dad was in the military and he, when he was in the military, he fixed planes and helicopters and he will not fly. My dad will not fly. He just, he don't like flying. He's scared of, he just does not fly. I don't know if it's something that he's seen in military or, you know, whatever, but he will not fly. And he was, Vietnam War, he will not fly. 82 years old know if it's something that he's seen in military or whatever, but he will not fly, and he was Vietnam War, he will not fly.
Starting point is 01:37:07 82 years old, he will drive to Florida, he will drive to Vegas, he will drive to California. Man, hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Ernest. Ernest, good morning. How are you guys doing this morning? Good. So in response to your question this morning.
Starting point is 01:37:19 Oh, you scared to fly, Ernest? Not at all, not at all. We gotta understand these planes are man-made and we just got to have faith in God. When it's our time, it's our time. You know, flying is your main mode of transportation depending on your job, then that's what you got to do. It shouldn't have to worry anybody. I think Charlemagne's hit 45,000 flights a day in two incidents. I don't think there's too much to worry about. More than anything, I think these accidents should prove to the little orange dude that DEI is
Starting point is 01:37:47 necessary why is that well I'm assuming based off of the stuff I read these these pilots were not in fact black or white or excuse me black or women but that they were white male pilots I think in DC DC it was a woman one of the powers were one was a woman what I'm with the woman was that I was missing for I don't think I don't think none of that matters though Like I don't matter. It's your qualifications when it comes to flying classes you take the amount of Airtime you have flying. I don't think that matters in this one. Well, you know, everything happens for a reason That is true. All right, what's the moral of the story if there is a moral guys? I don't know if there is a moral.
Starting point is 01:38:26 I mean, I just think, you know what, the woman said, who was the woman that called up and just said, you know, just be cautious of the circumstances. Like, be cautious of the weather and things like that. That's the only thing I can think of. I don't know what you're gonna do. And she's right. How many times have a flight been delayed and you're upset and you're like, I gotta get another flight instead of saying, you know what, this is a sign. Let me just fall back and sometimes we just like you said just take it Yeah, sit your ass down and just you see what happens, you know, all right
Starting point is 01:38:51 Well, we got just with the mess coming up what we talking about? He said Rocky try to play the family card in court Rihanna came with the kids but the prosecutor cuties wasn't having it They started fighting and all that so we're not fighting but you know arguing so we're gonna get into that why we'll get to that Next it's the Breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlotte me and the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to just with the mess So the prosecutors in the courtroom for ESAP and Relly was about to squabble up. They got into it. What was the problem?
Starting point is 01:39:48 Okay, so first of all, they were arguing. It was during a break. ASAP's attorney, Joe Tecapina, had just started his closing argument. They took a break in between and the prosecutors are basically saying, y'all are getting special to the judge. He's like, yo, you're giving them special treatment. He says things that when I object to, you should's like, yo, you're giving them special treatment. Like he says things that you should that when I object to you should be like, nah, he can't you can't say that that can't be said in front of a jury. They were arguing
Starting point is 01:40:10 about perjury in offsets attorney saying that the prosecutor's office is with perjury basically with their ASAP attorney. I'm sorry, ASAP attorney. You said offset in court for no reason. We're going we're going there next. Sorry, what uh... a steps attorney they were the prosecutors are basically saying a sense attorney get special treatment and a a steps attorney accused the prosecutors of being down with her dream let their witnesses line is that the second lesson and this is not
Starting point is 01:40:38 but that's what you said the right your honor and here everything in the record case. Your Honor, Your Honor, one more thing out of here and we air everything that's happening in this case, which the courts are aware of. He might want to stop. I'm so threatened. You should be, Joe.
Starting point is 01:40:53 Let's take a break. Yes. Wow. That was them getting into it. It was to the point where Joe Tecappina, he took his jacket off. It was, and the judge had to be like, yo, I don't want to hear nothing from either one of y'all. Be quiet. The judge did admit though, once they went back in and went through what Joe Tecappina,
Starting point is 01:41:12 ASAP's attorney said about perjury, that he should have stricken it from the record in front of jury. So he said that when a jury came back in, he would go back and fix that because he should have done it. So that was the first part of it. But then in the closing argument for the prosecutor, they brought up Rihanna and the fact that the babies was in court last week as well. That was the first time she brought them in.
Starting point is 01:41:31 The defendant is a celebrity. His wife's an even bigger celebrity. Many of you know who they are. They brought in two of their horrible children yesterday for closing argument. Now they haven't been here at any other time, and you have to ask yourselves, those kids
Starting point is 01:41:45 have a right to be here. Why are children that age would be here in a situation like this? Don't know. But you have to ask yourselves, am I going to let my feelings of not wanting to convict the defendant, if you convict him, it's going to be very difficult on the family. That is not something you are allowed to consider. Huh? Wow.
Starting point is 01:42:12 You're not allowed to consider his main family? His kids? Well, I mean, I think you should be allowed to consider it. And I know ASAP's attorney, he did some interviews following this saying he's a family man, regardless of who his wife is and who his kids is. So that was basically saying, like, basically it's the celebrity of it all. Yeah. did some interviews following this and That's what his attorney is saying like bro, it's his family.

Starting point is 01:47:15 It's the Breakfast Club, good morning Wake up, you're locked into the Breakfast Club Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club It's Black History Month Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month what we doing Charlamagne? Man every day during Black History Month my guy B.Dot puts out an episode of I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Neither on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network and today he's gonna tell us the tale of the Children's March in 1963 when a bunch of
Starting point is 01:47:40 kids showed up with more courage than most adults, proving that sometimes the youngest voices are the loudest and the most powerful. Let's discuss. But not these kids in Birmingham, Alabama. They weren't playing around, Jack. There were 1963 and Birmingham was the most racist city in the country. Segregation was everywhere. Schools, buses, buses, bathrooms, water fountains.
Starting point is 01:48:08 And I'm thinking, how racist do you have to be to hate somebody at a water fountain? You upset that they're getting hydrated? That's silly. And the adults have been protesting for months, but the city wasn't budging. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his crew that started quoting Jay-Z, they said,
Starting point is 01:48:22 we need more people. That's when James Bevel said, I've got a plan. Let's get the kids involved. Now I don't know what parents sat down with a 10 year old and said, listen, pack a lunch baby. Cause you're going to fight Jim Crow today. But they did it. And the kids, they showed up.
Starting point is 01:48:39 Thousands of them left school and gathered at the 16th street Baptist church. Like it was recess and instead of dodge balls they were like, hey, we're gonna dodge dogs, fire hoses and billy clubs today. Seriously, that's some next level courage right there. We're talking about kids. Now imagine being a racist police officer that day. You out here ready to fight and then you see a group of 12 year olds chanting for freedom. What do you even do? Well apparently if you erased his Birmingham police in 1963 1963 you turned into cartoon villains. They brought out fire
Starting point is 01:49:10 hoses. Fire hoses to blast these kids off their feet. Unleashed the dogs on them kids like it was a twisted Lassie episode. Some of y'all don't remember Lassie. But here's the thing, them kids didn't stop. They got arrested by the hundreds, thrown in jail like it was a field trip to Alcatraz, and more kids just kept showing up, day after day. They started putting on their swimsuits to prepare for the fire hoses. They marched, they sang, and they did not back down. Kids! And it worked, cause the news saw them pictures.
Starting point is 01:49:40 Kids getting hosed down and attacked by dogs, and the whole world saw them pictures. You Google children's march of 1963 right now and you can see them pictures. Suddenly people just couldn't ignore the civil rights movement any longer. That children's march of 1963 pushed momentum forward and led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That's right, a bunch of kids in pigtails, cornrows, and penny loafers helped change the laws. Now why we don't hear more about this? I think it's because adults don't like being shown up by their kids. Don't nobody want to admit that a 10 year old with a homemade
Starting point is 01:50:14 sign have more guts than most of us do right now. But the lesson here is real. You ain't got to wait till you're older or richer or more established to make an impact. These kids took risk because they believed in something bigger than themselves. So next time you think, what can I really do to change things? Just remember, if a bunch of kids with no smartphones, no hashtags, no TikTok followers can bring down segregation, what's stopping us? Let's all channel a little bit of 1963 energy, shall we? Black folks, black folks, we channel. We don't need no white folks channeling 1963 energy
Starting point is 01:50:49 because history don't just happen. It gets made and sometimes it's made by people who ain't even old enough to drive. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. All right.
