He's amby Charlemagne, the god piece to the 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:12.560 plan that is Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday, Yes it is. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.040 Man still feels grim and gloomy. Huh um. I mean 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.119 I say grim and gloomy, but I'm gonna say heavy. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.160 You know, I think that still gloomy to me. It's 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.280 still weighing heavy on people. You know, you wake up 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.440 in the morning. I just gotta text from a partner 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.039 of mine and you know, he's a father, and he 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.039 said he just can't get over He said, he just 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.880 can't get over that. That the fact that you know, 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.000 Kobe passed with his daughter like that. You know, it's 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.200 more and more details come out, it just makes you 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.680 It just makes it to me feels even more worse. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.560 So or even worse I should say, yeah, And I mean, 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.319 you know, I think I think when you're a father, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.240 I think it's the the whole idea of you know, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.560 our job being able to protect and provide with being 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.920 in a position with your daughter the way no matter what, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.920 there's nothing you could do to protect her in that situation. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.560 But listen, yeah, it's still investigating. But you just think 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.680 about a lot of things that you I don't want 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.400 to say you don't necessarily think about, but you might 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.160 not think about as much like when you're gonna think 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.160 about death, No, but when like you go on the plane, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.720 right and the pilot that has control of everybody's lives 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.119 on that plane. Do you really Yeah, I've been telling 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.040 you about it. Bus drivers, how when I walk on 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.560 an airplane, I say hied to the pilot. When we land, 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.680 I say, you know, thank you. I do that all 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.400 the time. Ober drivers or lift drivers. You don't know 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.120 who you know, Yes, I do that all the time. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.119 You got to be extra night thro those people because 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.400 you don't know what they're going You don't know what 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.280 they're going through. You don't know how the day ass you. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.400 You don't know the experience. You just you honestly don't know. Man. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:39.040 But I was heartbroken watching the husband of the basketball 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.519 coach who died on that helicopter, Christina Mauser. Hole. Yeah, 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.359 he called into the Today Show and that hurt me, Like, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.560 had to tell his kids, is that the one? Yes, 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.440 he's got three small children. Yeah. I saw an interview 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:54.679 he did that. He did an interview. Yeah, that was 0:02:54.960 --> 0:03:00.280 Today Show. That was that was horrible. I don't know, man, Again, 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.920 our condolences, and then I just don't like seeing people 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.720 being negative in a time like this and having nasty 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.359 negative things to say, Well, you better move off to 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.519 this planet then. But that's what this planet is built on. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.400 That's why I've been hanging like, not going on social media, 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.919 not looking at too much stuff, just because I think 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.920 it's just very disheartening the way people are in this world. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.679 Some people you got, but you know what, I'm not 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.200 even gonna say in this world, I'm gonna say on 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.320 social media, I think that's a social media thing. I 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.000 think a lot of that stuff is performative. I think 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.280 people do that because they just know they're gonna get 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.120 attention for it. Yeah, I just really do. I think 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.239 they know they're gonna get retweets, they know they're gonna 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.240 get likes, they know they're gonna get people adding them, 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.280 they're gonna get written up in certain articles. Like I 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.320 just think certain things you can't even give energy. Man, 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.240 don't even get that. Don't even give that no energy. Well, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.960 Bishop td Jakes will be joining us, man, nobody I 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.200 would want to talk to more other than probably the 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.120 honor up minus the lowest prior con But I definitely 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.920 was thinking about Bishop td Jakes the past couple of things. Man, 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.120 that is a person I consider one of my spiritual advisors, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.400 and I'm glad he is joining us this morning. Yeah, 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.760 you know, you know what in terms like this, if 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.000 you have kids, this is usually when your kids just 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.160 ask a lot of questions and a lot of questions 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.000 I couldn't answer. You know. My daughter, you know, asked 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.280 me yesterday. You know, hey, Dad, you know, if if 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.520 you have free will, and we pray for God and 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.000 we pray, you know, for for God and our blessings 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.520 and pray for things, and you know, when you look 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.240 at situations like this, you know, why couldn't you know, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.480 God put his hands in things and say, you know what, 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.080 do this? Do that? And some of these I just 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.000 don't have to answer for it. Yeah, that's true, you know, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.880 but I mean we we all do make choices as well, 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.400 you know what I mean, Like you can't I think 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.479 sometimes we give God credit for choices that we make. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.960 You know, sometimes there's just human error. Yeah you hope God, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.839 you know, helps you through it, but sometimes there's just 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.160 human error. I you know, my guy, you know, I 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.360 talked to my daughter and I was like, yeah, I 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.760 said the same thing, and she was like, but if 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.760 you know, if God is God, why I couldn't he 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.880 even fix that human error? You know that those three 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.839 young children on that plane that is a great question, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.560 and that's all I can say. I don't have an 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.920 answer for it. That's that's I think. Sometimes we try 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.760 to make sense of the senseless. And that's exactly what 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.760 I said. Some things just are Yeah, it is what 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.159 it is. That's the baby. Let's talk in the morning. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.960 Good night, all right, and also Steve Stott will be 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.880 joining us this morning. Yes, he's got Kobe stories too. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.360 He actually signed Kobe Day's first record deal. Yeah, long 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.320 relationship with Kobe Brown. All right, so we'll kick with 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.160 both of them. Let's get the show cracking front page news. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.919 What we're talking about, Well, they were supposed to be 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.640 a Lakers and Clippers game, and we'll give you information 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:28.240 on what happened with that. Also, Lebron has spoken about Kobe, 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:29.839 so we'll tell you what he had to say. All right, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.800 we'll get into that next keeping lot. This to Breakfast Club, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.760 good morning, wanting everybody as TJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlemagne 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.520 the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.320 some front page news. When we start with ge Well, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.160 let's talk about the NBA. They officially postponed the last 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.919 night's Lakers versus Clippers game. Oh, Tonight's Lakers versus Clippers 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.520 game that was supposed to be at the Staples Center 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:54.400 out of respect for the Lakers organization after Kobe Bryant 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.240 some time we passing, they said the game will be 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.880 rescheduled at a later date. I'm gonna be honest with you, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.120 I thought that was gonna be something special tonight because 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.960 when I saw that on the schedule, I was like, Damn, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.479 the Lakers and Clippers playing the night at the Stables Center. 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.600 I'm like, that's gonna be special. Can you imagine the emotions? 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.520 Though they probably didn't want to play, They probably haven't 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.479 grieved yet. They just probably just need some time to 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.320 just just get it all out. This system grieving as 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.640 a process. But I was just thinking about, you know, Lebron, 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.440 the show he might have put on it. It's all 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.520 very selfish reasons. By the way. Kawhi Leonard, you know, 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.520 he had a relationship with Kobe. He you know, trained 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.680 at the Mamba Academy. Like the show he might have 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:29.920 put on, Like, I don't know, I would have been 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.680 special all right now. The Yukon Huskies women's basketball team. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.080 It's also honoring Gianna Gigi Prior to the game last 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.880 night against Team USA, they had a number two jersey 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.280 on the chair with the bouquet of flowers. Also, that's 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.080 where she was determined to play. She wanted to go 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.840 to Yukon, so they honored her as well. And they 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.200 said that Kobe had also trademark Gigi's nickname Mambasita, so 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.000 I guess he was getting ready for her to be 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.560 a star as well. All right, now, out over one 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.520 point four million fans have signed a petition they went 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.400 the NBA to change the logo in order to honor 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.200 Kobe Bryant. So that logo has been the same since 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.320 nineteen seventy one as an outline of Jerry West. So 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.880 now they feel like this petition wants them to change 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.720 that to be an outline of Kobe Bryant. I'm not 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.680 mad at that, actually. I mean, you know, I don't 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.600 even know what Jerry did to deserve that honor, But 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.920 I don't think that's a bad idea at all. Yeah, 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.960 people saying it's a great idea, but you know what 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.239 happens when you know Michael Jordan, When Michael Jordan passes 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.600 way down the line. Listen, God forbid, I don't think 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.480 Michael Jordan would dies tragically with Kobe Bryant. That's right, 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.440 you know what I'm saying. I think that's that's that's 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.480 the honor, right, you know the fact that he died 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.840 so tragically. I don't think that's gonna happen in Micho. Now. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.560 You can also watch Kobe's Oscar winning short film Dear 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.320 Basketball online for free right now. It's five minutes and 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.200 twenty two seconds and it won an Academy Award two 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.560 years ago. It was the Best Animated Short Film. It 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.760 was based on the poem that Kobe wrote for the 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.080 players Tribute in his final season in the NBA to 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.960 announce that it would be last season in the NBA. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.080 So if you want to check that out, you definitely 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.680 can do that. Did I would out Jerry Westfield's about 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.880 the NBA Local change. Has he said anything about it? 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.240 I'm not sure. I haven't seen because his word would 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.440 go a long way because he's the logo right all right? 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.560 An I told you earlier the husband Christina Mauser who 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.440 also passed away and that helicopter crash, Matt Mauser was 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.640 on the Today's Show. He called in and here's what 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.760 he said. How difficult was that to tell them, let's see, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.439 I said, you know, it was the hardest to have 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.960 ever done. A doubt, how you telling try out? Their 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:42.280 mommies no longer with us? So he screamed, They yelled, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.200 and I just held him, let him scream, let him yell. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.679 I can't lie, and I was. I would always get 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.000 nervous when she get on the helicopter. It's just something 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.160 in my heart, heartbreaking. No man, no man wants to 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.840 be in that position. No, no, no man deserves to 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.520 be in that position. I pray for that man. I 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.959 pray for that man. I pray for that man. I 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:03.200 pray for that man's family. Absolutely, Lord, all right, and 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.760 that's front page news. Also, if you're looking for a 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.600 Kobe gear, Nike has pulled Kobe's gear off the shows. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.600 Why well, they're trying to figure out what to do 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.880 moving forward. Yeah, for right now, they don't want people 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.240 to resell for high numbers and things like that, so 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.280 I guess maybe they're producing more so they don't have 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.280 to deal with a resellers. But for right now they 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.040 pulled it off the off the Nike dot com site. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.920 All right, get it off your chests. Eight hundred five 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.280 eight five one oh five one.

Hello. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.320 Who's this? Hey Samy? Hey, good on to get it 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.080 off your chest? Hey, good morning to do that. Envy, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.680 I'm calling. I'm responding to what you said earlier about 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.760 your kids, when you were talking about um like, if 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.680 God was God, how come he let that happen? Or 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.960 how come you know how he allowed that had to happen. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.560 And I was just sitting her thinking, you know, we're 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.840 all hurt by the incident with Kobe and his daughter 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:04.320 and the rest um that happened with the helicopter incident. Oh, 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:11.160 good morning Angela and Charlemagne by the way, morning the morning. Um, 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.840 it's not. We have to realize that God allows certain 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.600 things to happen. It ain't that he didn't stop it. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.040 He allows certain things to happen. And it could be 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.240 that he's trying to get America's attention for some reason. Um, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.760 whatever that may be, you know what I'm saying. So 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.400 it ain't that, you know, Um, he just can allow 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.840 things to happen, not that he just has the power 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.240 to stop it. He allows things to happen, you know, 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.240 And he allows this to happen for whatever reason. Maybe 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.080 he's trying to wait America up. You see what I mean. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.360 I mean, listen, all I know is we all we 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.720 all have free will, we all make choices and didn't 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.600 as God's will. I think sometimes we give God credit 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.480 for things that he's he doesn't have a he or 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.720 she doesn't necessarily have a hand in. But I do 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.680 know that if you believe in God, and you truly 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.040 believe everything happens for a reason, you gotta take the 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.880 soul called good with the soul called bad. Yeah, and 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.960 it's hard. It's hard to say that to a child. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.720 When a child praise every night for things that they 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.480 want and being grateful to be here and then see 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.600 things like this, you know, it's kind of like she 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.040 feels like, you know, you pray for things, you know, 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.400 and then this happened. So what are we actually praying for? 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.120 You know? That's that's the way of thinking, and those 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.040 those are things that you have to understand one day 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.600 on her own, because I don't have the answers. You know. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.360 Another thing, I think we should start thinking about again, 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.160 what's that? And I haven't been thinking about this for 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.040 a while, even tho I grew up a Jehovah witnesses. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.160 You do got to start thinking about the afterlife. You do. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.320 Got to start thinking about you know, paradise. You do. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.160 Got to start thinking like, yo, maybe there is a 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.000 place that's that's better, you know, than here, right, you 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.640 know what I mean? And maybe it was just their 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:47.000 time to go there. I don't know. I don't know. Hello, Hello, 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.320 who's this? Hey? What's up? Get it off your chest? 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:56.040 Good morning? And name Jay? What's up? Bro? I don't 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.760 want to say hi.

Man, it was about for two years. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.080 It was more of a it was more of a 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.600 she was sought because I was moving on type thing. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.639 So she wanted to roll her stuff back, pulled up 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.040 with a cousin. I thought we was just fighting. They 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.440 pulled out a gun. You know. Wait, she came to 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.840 get her own stuff back. No, she came to get 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.360 like little gifts and and stuff. And the funny part 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.520 is when the police arrested her, they brought all the 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.720 stuff back. Wow.

Now, 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.760 let's talk about Terry Crews versus Gabrielle Union and America's 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.960 Got Talent. If you guys recall, Gabrielle Union is not 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.240 returning to Gabrielle. Gabrielle Union's not returning to America's Got 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.520 Talent because she said it was sexist. There was racism 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.280 there present, and Terry Crews responded about his own experience 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.480 on the show, saying this, first of all, I can't 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.560 speak for sexism because I'm not a woman, but I 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.159 can't speak on behalf of any racism comments. That was 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.960 never my experience on America's Got Talent. In fact, it 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.879 was the most diverse place I have ever been in 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.560 my twenty years of entertainment. When you look at what 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.200 the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source. 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.600 My thing is, you know, it's funny because I believe 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.640 you should listen to women. You should always believe women. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.720 So I asked my wife. My wife said, well, if 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.560 she hasn't made a statement, why would you, And I said, 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.080 you know what, I'm gonna listen to her, all right. Well. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.040 Gabrielle Union then went on Twitter as people were tweeting 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.479 her about that interview, and she said, truth telling, wanting 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.040 change and having multiple witnesses who bravely came forward to 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.000 let everyone know I didn't lie or exaggerate really exposes 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.000 those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus for 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.760 getting quickly who stepped up for their truth. Now if 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.680 you guys recall when Terry Crews had his own allegations 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.000 saying that he was groped at a party by a 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.480 high level Hollywood executive. Gabrielle Union had tweeted out, Terry 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.440 Crews is a stand up guy. Literally one of the 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.200 nicest people in our industry. He is honest, kind and 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.960 true professional. I believe him and stand by him. Hashtag 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.159 me too. So people did not like the fact that 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.280 that happened. Now. Terry Crews then tweeted out, after the 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.640 backlash he got from that interview, I'm a hog, you're 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.320 a chicken. Just because you gave me eggs don't mean 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.439 I owe you bacon wow ancient Flint Michigan proverb. Then 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.960 he tweeted, there is only one woman on earth I 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:30.960 have to please. Her name is Rebecca. Not my mother 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.320 and my sister. My daughters are co workers. I will 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.080 let their husband's boyfriend's partners take care of them. Rebecca 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.560 gives me wings. Who's Rebecca his wife? His wife? Sure? 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.000 So Terry only cares about his wife, not his mother, 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.520 not his care about his daughters, his sisters, his homegirls, 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.359 his aunt, his mom. The only woman you care about 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.480 in your life's wife is crazy. That's the sad. The 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:50.959 only person he has to please. Yeah, No, the only 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.800 person he has to please. That's not that's not true. 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.119 That's not true at all. No, especially your daughters. And 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.440 if he thinks like that, I don't even know what 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.119 type of man he is. You don't put your daughters 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:00.840 in the number of people. What did you want to please? 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.760 Her mother said, he'll let their husband's boyfriends and partners 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.320 take care of that boy certain certain things that your 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.560 husband and you know, your partners and your boyfriend's This 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.080 is love that a father can provide that they can't 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.399 at all. But if you don't have a husband's boyfriend 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.480 or a partner, then what he's just floating around? And 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.840 then I think Dad, even when Terry says, um, you 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:21.800 should believe all women, if he feels like you should 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:25.560 believe all women, and why would he undermine what Gabrielle said, right, 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.360 especially because so many people were in agreeance with her 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.480 and they even had to sit down with her about it. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.040 I think you should listen to all women, believe all proof. 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:35.600 That's what I think all right now. Kanye West did 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.600 a Sunday service paying tribute after the Grammys to Kobe Bryant. 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.480 They said Kirk Franklin wasn't attendance. He delivered a short 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:46.520 sermon about navigating the confusion and chaos after Kobe's passing, 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.639 and Kanye was a huge Kobe Bryant fan, so that 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.320 went down. In addition to that, fifty Cent said that 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.560 he won't argue with anyone after Kobe Bryant's untimely passing. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.320 He went on Instagram and he shared a video of 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.160 himself hugging Kobe at a basketball game between the Lakers 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.119 and the Knicks. He said, I feel like I have 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.119 to achieve what I went in life now after this, 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.919 I have to focus. I'm not arguing with anyone anymore. 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.520 I'll deal with it another way. If there's a problem, Wow, 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:20.959 that's I don't like. I don't I don't like that option. Here, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.760 what's the other way? Fifty I need to know the 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:26.800 other one. What's the other option? Oh? I didn't take 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:31.760 anything negative from that man. He is going to have 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:36.600 a conversation. Yeah, no, all right now. T I also 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.200 posted his own message. He posted a caption of him 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.840 and Tiny and he said, I love you missus h 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.680 and he added her He said imperfections, misunderstandings and all. 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.920 We've shared most of the happiest moments of our lives together. 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.320 I know I've had my moments, but despite all my 0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:54.639 shortcomings and transgressions, the fact remains, you give me a 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.560 thousand choices, and I choose you every time. I couldn't 0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.480 imagine living in a world without you, or leaving you 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.280 in the kids to have to live without me. I'm 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.080 determined to make you happy by any means necessary, like 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.120 it or not, to love, cherished, protect, provide, and whatever 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:12.280 the f else it takes. Forever there you go. You 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:14.840 gotta love it, he said, and he you know his daughters. 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.000 I love you girls more than my vocabulary will allow 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.320 me to express. For his sons, he said, I'm so 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.359 proud of each and every last one of you, guys, 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.320 and so on and so forth. So everybody is now 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:27.840 reflecting after this. Yeah, I mean, all of this is beautiful. 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.080 We we gotta keep this energy long after Kobe and 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.080 his daughter and all the other victims of this tragic 0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.240 accident are buried. You know what I'm saying, It's like 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.159 a honeymoon phase people go through. I don't know if 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:39.440 I want to call it a honeymoon phase. But it's 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.600 like a phase people go through after things like this happened, 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:43.320 and yeah, you know, but it's like, yeah, you gotta 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.359 keep this energy all the time. We've been in constant 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.119 remind a lot of people have been pushing the narrative, 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:49.640 and I've been seeing a change in the last couple 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.199 of years with family love and children loved. I love 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:55.200 to see that. Dad's if you out there, make sure 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:56.639 that you're good with your kids. Make sure you're good 0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:58.159 with your wife, make sure you're good with your parents. Man, 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.399 make sure you're good with your daughters. All right, Now, 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:04.280 don't be like Terry Cruz. Okay, it's other people his wife, 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.600 but it's other people to please out here other than 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.760 your wife's, especially your daughters. That's kind of all right, 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.560 Juice World. When he passed away, he had two thousand 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.720 unreleased songs, and so now they're talking about doing some 0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:19.159 new albums with him. Two thousand that now, that's a 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:21.119 lot of work that he was putting in. So they 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:23.359 do want to pay tribute with his unheard work, and 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.920 they said there's several ideas floating around, including of course 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:29.800 doing an album or a new music release. He was 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.359 constantly recording. They said he didn't do anything besides to 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:37.639 ride his dirt bike and make music. So guests, pretty 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.119 soon we'll be hearing some of that. Now. I'm in 0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:41.879 a juice world. Got a top ten record right now 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.920 on the Billboard Hot one hundred. It's called Godzilla. All right. Well, 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.480 I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.119 thank you, miss she. Now we got front page who 0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:51.840 was coming up? What we're talking about? Yeah, let's get 0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:55.879 to what Lebron had to say about Kobe Bryant. All right, 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:57.440 we'll get into that next. Keep a lock this to 0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:07.120 Breakfast club. Good morning. I'm the type of baby latim 0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:11.639 rappers to put in forty angel will tell them. So 0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:16.119 whoever they got ain't in the world. Morning. Everybody is 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:19.359 DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlemagne de God. We are the 0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:23.359 Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get too for patients. What 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:26.320 we're talking about you, Well, let's talk about Lebron and 0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.399 what he had to say about Kobe. He has broken 0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:31.480 his silence. He posted on social media. I'm not ready, 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.760 but here I go. Man. I'm sitting here trying to 0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:35.920 write something for this post. But every time I try, 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:39.879 I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece, Gigi 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.879 and the friendship, bond, brotherhood we had. I literally just 0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:45.000 heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to 0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.720 head back to LA. Didn't think for one bit in 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:51.719 a million years that would be the last conversation we'd have. WTF. 0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.879 I'm heartbroken and devastated my brother, man. I love you, 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.600 big bro. My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids. 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.479 I promise you I'll continue your legacy. Man, you mean 0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:03.000 so much to all of us here, especially Laker Nation, 0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.800 and it's my responsibility to put this ish on my 0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.679 back and keep it going. Please give me the strength 0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:10.639 from the heavens above and watch over me. I got 0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.920 us here. There's so much more I want to say, 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.640 but just can't right now because I can't get through 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.880 it until we meet again, my brother. Hashtag Mama for life, 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.160 hashtag gig for life. So Luke to Lebron, you know, listen. 0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.080 If you aren't ready to say something, don't feel the 0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.720 need to because everybody else is on social media. Like 0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.920 I think, sometimes when it comes to digital grieving, people 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.920 think because they don't see you post something on social media, 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.119 you don't care you're not grieving. Yeah, and they be 0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:36.320 in your comments like, oh, you don't got nothing to 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:37.879 say about Kobe, do't not to say about Coob. If 0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:39.320 you're not ready to say something on social media, you 0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.000 don't have to it. Social media is not real life, 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:44.080 I agree, all right. In The NBA also put out 0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.080 a statement. The Commissioner Adam Silver said, the NBA family 0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.720 is devastated by the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.639 his daughter Gianna. For twenty seasons, Kobe showed us what 0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:56.440 is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion 0:26:56.560 --> 0:26:59.560 to winning. He was one of the most extraordinary players 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.240 in the hit story of our game, with accomplishments that 0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.760 are legendary. But he will be remembered most for inspiring 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.600 people around the world to pick up a basketball and 0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:12.840 compete to the very best of their ability. All right. 0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.400 The BBC, by the way, has apologized. They put out 0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:20.520 Lebron James video in a segment on Kobe's passing. Yeah 0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:22.600 see that yesterday. That was dumb, they said, for this 0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:25.719 human error, which fell below our usual standards. They did 0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:30.800 apologize the wild human error. I mean, somebody did not 0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.880 fact check that. Yeah, Kobe Bryant is a global icon. 0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.800 He's a superstar. You know, if if they mistaken guys 0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:39.800 like him for just other random black global icons superstars, 0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:43.320 we are were in trouble. Now all black global icons 0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:46.600 sports icons don't look alike BBC. All right, and over 0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:48.719 one point four million fans have signed a petition. They 0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:51.200 went to the NBA to change the logo to honor 0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:54.480 Kobe Bryant. So they went to go ahead and change 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.919 that logo that's been the same since nineteen seventy one, 0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.920 with an outline of Jerry West. That's been the NBA 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.960 is efficient official emblem since back then, and they want 0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:04.800 to go ahead and put Kobe on that. And the 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:06.920 picture they have looks amazing, by the way. Yeah, I'm 0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:09.240 not mad at that simply because you know, the Jerry 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.639 West logo. I'm not sure the exact story, but I 0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.840 don't think there's really any science behind it other than 0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:17.320 it looked cool. Just look cool. Yeah, you know, Kobe 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.479 looks cool and it means a lot. Yeah, I think 0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:22.800 Kobe would be dope. And Kobe actually won five rings, 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.760 Jerry West won none. If I'm mistaken, Is Jerry West 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:27.560 ever want to work. I'm not sure. I know he 0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:28.840 went to the finals a bunch of time. I don't 0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:30.280 think you ever won it. And then somebody sit on 0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.280 on social media that they tried the Jordan logo years ago, 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:36.560 but Jordan owns it and his actual company would lose millions. 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:37.760 So that's three so why. I don't know if that's 0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:39.440 true or not, but I would love to see Kobe's logo. 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:41.400 Kobe on that logo? All right, Well, Kobe will be 0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:45.240 honored with the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty, 0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:49.760 so he's part of that. Jerry West one one ring 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.720 is a player and for as a general manager. Okay, 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:57.120 all right, that's commendable. What a general manager? Don't count? 0:28:57.120 --> 0:29:00.640 That's a player, Kobe one five. Look, I'm all for it. 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:02.960 Let's change it. Unless I like the way that logo looks. 0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.400 I think that would be amazing. So, and the NBA 0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.160 has also postponed the Lakers versus Clippers game that was 0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.840 supposed to be tonight at the Staples Center. They said 0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.640 that decision was made out of respect for the Lakers organization, 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:17.640 which is deeply grieving the tragic loss of Lakers legend 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.040 Kobe Bryant. His daughter Gianna, and seven other people in 0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:23.040 a helicopter crash. They said the game will be rescheduled 0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:25.160 at a later day. Selfishly, I was looking forward to 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:26.880 that game because I saw that on the schedule, and 0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.680 I said, man, the universe is wild, the fact that 0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.240 the Clippers and the Lakers are playing. We're supposed to 0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.520 play tonight. I thought it was gonna be very special, 0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.800 you know. I was like, yo, Lebronic Kawhid gonna score 0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:40.320 eighty one point. Somebody gonna do something very Kobe yesque. 0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.120 I don't know, I thought so Selfishly, I was hoping 0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.320 that happened. I think they should cancel all Laker games 0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:48.800 until his funeral. Until after the funeral. I'm not sure 0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.560 when the funeral is, but I think they should cancel 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:52.760 it until after that, you know, because it's the Lakers, 0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:54.959 their organization. I'm sure they're gonna have the funeral at 0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:56.680 the Staple Center, but I think they should just cancel 0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.760 to after let them grief. All right, Well that is 0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:01.959 your front page news. All right. Let me shout out 0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:07.880 my uncle, my uncle, Chief Jimmy Secredo. He's retiring after 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:12.200 forty years of being a chief and working for the NYPD. 0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:14.360 In New York City. So I just want to say 0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:18.760 congratulations and a happy retirement. Gave me a lot of 0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:20.920 advice throughout the years and helped me out a lot 0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.480 of stuff, save my ass a couple of times. So 0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.760 I just want to say thank you, Uncle Jimmy. Yes, 0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.040 I'm sure he needed and he needed your help, yeah 0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:31.160 many of times. Yes. All right, now, listen, we got 0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.840 one of my spiritual advisors coming in, someone who I 0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:38.440 love listening to, someone who I love talking to, building with. Um. 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.800 There's really nobody that I would want to speak to 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:45.160 more in this moment. Probably maybe a woman at the 0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:49.040 Lows for I can't definitely, but Bishop td Jakes for sure. Okay, 0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:51.080 yes he'll be here. All right, we'll kick it with 0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.640 Bishop td Jakes. Will we come back to help us 0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.800 make sense to some of this stuff? Or maybe he won't. Yeah, 0:30:55.960 --> 0:31:01.720 it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody 0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:05.680 is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are 0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:08.920 to Breakfast Club. We got a special guests in the buildings. Indeed, 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:13.240 TD Jakes, Bishop the Drip Jakes. I'm gonna tell you something. 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.560 There's nobody I would rather talk to this morning, other 0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.880 than you thank you like like like hearts are heavy? 0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:20.960 You know why the tragic acts accident that happened to 0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:23.240 mister Kobe Bryant, his daughter and all the other folks 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:26.000 on the plane. Hell, how do you make the helicopter? 0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:27.960 How do you make sense of that? Like? How could 0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:30.200 that have been God's plan? You don't make sense of it. 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:33.200 You endure it, you survive it, you grieve, you go 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:35.440 through the process. I think where we get in trouble, 0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:38.920 it's when we try to explain and understand things that 0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:42.720 are unexplainable. Right now, we got to survive it because 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:46.640 our whole nation has taken a blow. The family and 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:51.720 particular sports fans, other athletes are are grieving right now, 0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:54.600 and I think that to try to explain something like 0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:57.160 you know more than you know, we don't know. They're 0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.400 still investigating what happened, whether it's human error, there was 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.520 the weather or the climate, all of those play a 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.840 factor in it. We look for somebody to blame. How 0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.280 could God allow that to happen? Or this or that 0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:10.400 or the other. But right now, tragic things happen in 0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:12.440 life every day. But this is a person that we 0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:15.640 knew and loved and a part of our community. It's 0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.200 okay to be sad, it's okay to grieve, it's okay 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:21.600 to go through those range of emotions anger and being 0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.640 upset and what have you. But at the end of 0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:26.600 the day, we're in a survival mode right now. Now, 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:29.160 what do you tell somebody who's on a fence with 0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:32.240 religion and believing and they see something like this and 0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:34.280 they say, wow, you know, he had a thirteen year 0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:36.760 old that died, and there was other tweens on that 0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:38.720 plane that died. What do you tell that person for 0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.640 faith and how they can continue to believe. I think 0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:44.959 it is your faith that gets you through those unexplainable moments. 0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.520 And I think you'll have to realize it's terrible and 0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:50.840 as tragic as it was. We're grateful his wife wasn't 0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.760 on board. We're grateful the whole family wasn't on board. 0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.840 I look for things that are positive in the midst 0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.360 of the pain. Not denying the pain, but I look 0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:02.000 for things that are positive. As for trying to get 0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:05.160 somebody to believe who doesn't believe you, really, you really 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.840 can't do that because God can't be explained, He must 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.680 be revealed. And you have to have an open heart 0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:13.040 to allow that to happen in your life. Yeah, And 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:15.400 if you believe God does everything for a reason, you 0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.480 can't only believe that when the positive things happen, right, Absolutely, 0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.560 because many times the positive things come out of the 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:24.240 most horrific things in our lives. I mean, you look 0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:27.160 at your own life. Sometimes the worst tragedies brought you 0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.840 into an awareness or sensibility over years that if this 0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:35.200 hadn't happened, that hadn't happened. Time will judge the validity 0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:38.600 of the situation. Right now, we have to endure, and 0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:40.840 you still have to lift up the family members of 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.640 who have lost somebody right now, and the daughters and 0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:47.320 his wife and all the family members of the other 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:49.680 people who are on the helicopter too, and they lost 0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:53.400 somebody completely different from who we know. When you're famous, 0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:56.160 people know you from what you do, But your family 0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.360 knows you from who you are, and it's a much 0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.480 deeper loss. It's a greater kind of pain, and it's 0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.360 very difficult to get through. I listen to a sermon 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.480 you gave on us Timber twenty second title keep it Moving, 0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:11.719 and it almost seems like keeping it moving after death 0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:15.239 seems insensitive. So how do you keep it moving? You 0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.000 have to keep it moving because life keeps moving, because 0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:23.160 bills keep moving, because illnesses keep moving, threats keep moving, 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.840 problems don't stop because you're in pain. And so sometimes 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:30.000 the therapy is in keeping it moving. But of course 0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:31.960 when you're the family, you have to shut down for 0:34:32.080 --> 0:34:34.600 a minute and breathe and recalibrate. And it may be 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:38.360 over the next two years or twenty years. Let you 0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:40.759 feel that pain. My mother died in ninety nine, and 0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:43.200 if I think about it hard now, I'll get emotional. 0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:45.719 I mean because and I don't even want that to 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:47.919 go away. I don't even want that to go away. 0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:52.000 Because sometimes the sadness validates the value of what you lost. 0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.560 It plain that a little more. With the sadness. The sadness, 0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.960 the greater the sadness, it's an indication that the greater 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.560 the love. Some people don't feel sadness because they don't 0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:03.120 feel love. Then if you're a great lover, you have 0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:05.800 great pain when people leave your life. And to the 0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:07.920 degree that we miss and we feel that pain in 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.560 that pain, in many ways is a tribute to the 0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.759 significance of that individual in your life. Are there times 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.040 that you question your own faith? And is that a 0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:19.040 common thing for people to do, to just question. I 0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:21.600 used to answer that question and say no, and then 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:23.480 I went through something and said you and I have 0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.120 to say yes. I have gone through those moments where 0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:30.040 I was in grief and wondered, you know, why did 0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:31.759 you allow this to happen. I was a little bit 0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:34.400 angry with God. I healed, I got over it, I 0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.680 was okay. But I have had those moments of challenge. 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.040 We have to remember that faith does not mean the 0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:45.640 absence of doubt. Faith and doubt cohabitated in the same space. 0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:48.719 And to be completely honest about it, that faith is 0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:51.600 something we believe, but what we like to do is no. 0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:55.320 And you cannot know. You have to believe. That's the 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.279 whole premise of being a believer is to believe that 0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:00.440 which you cannot see. And you have to do that 0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:02.959 in the presence of voices of doubt who are telling 0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:05.799 you it's not worth it. It's just like going to work. 0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.879 Sometimes you don't want to go, but there's another voice 0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:11.600 says you gotta go, and you're conflicted, and yet you 0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.120 keep it moving. And I think a lot of times 0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:17.080 people are trying to get out of the conflict. But 0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:20.200 the conflict is a part of life, and we're all 0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:23.160 conflicted from time to time, and yet we find a 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.040 way to keep it moving. That's right. There was a 0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:27.480 time you said you thought about leaving the ministry. Yes, 0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:30.600 I've absolutely been there and went through when I first 0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:34.840 got in, especially National International ministry. All the things that 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:42.160 come along with that are hard to manage, notoriety, interviews, bloggers, 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:46.080 or last lastly reports. Mine was the Washington Post article 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:49.319 and I wasn't used to that, and I come from 0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:51.840 West Virginia. I'm a country boy, and I thought, I 0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:53.840 don't I didn't sign up for this. I don't need that. 0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:57.279 But the reality is this one woman came into a 0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:01.120 book signing and changed my life. She had just gotten 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:05.120 out the hospital. She'd had a tubal pregnancy and the 0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:07.440 baby was dead and she was living with a dead 0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:10.560 body body inside of her, so it almost killed her. 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.840 She was very weak. She got out of the hospital 0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:18.080 against the doctor's request and came to me as if 0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:20.920 she knew what I was thinking, and said, it's for 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.680 us that you do it, it's not for them. And 0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:27.320 when you go through moments of challenge and pain. You 0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.640 have to find purpose, and sometimes you forget why you 0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.239 do what you do and why you must endure or 0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:36.320 what you endure it. And she she moved me like 0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:38.439 in a major way. If it wasn't for that woman 0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:40.840 coming that day and talking to me, I don't know 0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:43.200 that I would have been in ministry. Now, Well, we'll 0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:48.320 do the Rightious always have to suffer. Everybody sufferers. Everybody sufferers. 0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:52.200 The emblem of Christianity is across. That's a big warning 0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:54.799 that if God's spared not his son, He's not going 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:57.840 to spare you. Everybody goes through suffering, no matter how 0:37:57.960 --> 0:37:59.480 rich you are, no matter how poor year are, no 0:37:59.560 --> 0:38:02.200 matter how famous you are, no matter whether you're homeless 0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:04.880 or living in the mansion. We were all born and 0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:07.239 we are all going to die. Yeah. Death is not 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:10.440 discriminated at all. Yeah, that's not discriminated. Would you want 0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:12.439 to know? Because that's we were talking about that this morning. 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.320 I was saying that it's yesterday morning. It was the 0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:19.040 unexpectedness of death. I think that would you would you 0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:21.400 want to know? No? I wouldn't want to know. No, 0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:24.320 I wouldn't want to know. Some people feel differently about it, 0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.759 but I wouldn't want to know. I wanted to surprise me. 0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:30.839 I don't want to live waiting on a date to leave. 0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:32.960 I want to live every day to the fullest, not 0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:35.799 with the cloud hanging over my head about a date 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.600 that could be twenty years off, for thirty years off, 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.839 and then to adjust my life to dying. I'd rather 0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:44.480 build my life around living and let death find me 0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:46.720 whenever it does. All right, we got more with Bishop 0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:48.560 td Jakes. When we come back, don't move. It's the 0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:55.200 Breakfast Club, Good Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:57.680 the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Were still kicking 0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:01.080 it with Bishop td Jakes. What do you feel towards suicide? 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:03.000 Because you hear so many different things with suicide. If 0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:05.400 you're suicide, you'll never make it to heaven. If you're suicide, 0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:08.160 God to look at you. What are your thoughts on suicide? 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:10.239 So many kids are the first thing that popped into 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:12.440 my mind when you said that, it's not whether you 0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:14.399 go to heaven or not. I think we should work 0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:18.120 harder to stop suicide. I think that suicide is epidemic, 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:22.640 particularly amongst African American young people in a way that's reprehensible. 0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:25.360 One of the reasons that I started the foundation that 0:39:25.400 --> 0:39:28.080 we're going to talk about is because of mental health. 0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:31.640 And mental health is a huge issue in our community. 0:39:31.680 --> 0:39:34.200 And I think you have to understand that a lot 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:37.120 of people who take their life, they really didn't take 0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:41.560 their life. The sickness did. So the person who we 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.839 say committed suicide is as much a victim as if 0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:47.480 they were a victim of a homicide, because if you 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:51.759 have emotional mental health issues, it affects your decisions and 0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:55.640 your judgment and your view of life. So to judge that, 0:39:55.880 --> 0:39:58.880 who am I I'm not God, So where they spend eternity, 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.319 I'm not God. But I do think that the person 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:03.480 is a victim, and I would think that if you're 0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:07.040 a victim, we just believe that they're in a better place. 0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:09.320 You're one of the first, you know, people at the 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.600 cloth that actually embraced you know, therapy and you know, 0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:14.759 telling people to go out then you know, get help 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:16.440 for them mental health because a lot of times we 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:17.719 tell a lot of people take it to the church 0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:20.080 just pray about just pray about it, and we don't 0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:21.759 treat it like it's a sickness. We treat it like 0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:24.279 it's a spiritual issue and it's a health issue. And 0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:26.520 I think you'll have to differentiate one from another. Sure 0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.920 you're going to pray, but you also do everything you 0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:30.880 can do to be at the best that you can be. 0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:32.759 And I do think the prayers they are beauty, but 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:34.799 it is not enough for a lot of people who 0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:38.520 have serious trauma that they've endured and they need to 0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:40.399 be able to talk, they need to be able to heal, 0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.640 and sometimes they have chemical imbalances. It causes them to 0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:45.279 be where they are. I got to teach her that says, 0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:48.880 I go to therapy and I pray, absolutely, do it all. Absolutely, 0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.600 I take blood pressure medicty to pray over it every day. 0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:56.280 Pray it works and let it work. Jesus, you announced 0:40:56.320 --> 0:41:01.680 planning to launch your own online Jake's Divinity School. Yeah, 0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:05.680 it has launched. It's up and running. It's everything that 0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:09.680 I'm doing now is about training the next generations. It's 0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:13.200 empowering them to accomplish their dreams, to reach their goals. 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:17.440 I'm leveraging my relationships and academics, and I'm levering my 0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:22.400 relationships with corporate America to create a pipeline because a 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.840 lot of us, the only pipeline we have to the 0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:26.719 world we want to be is the one we see 0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:29.840 on TV. But you'll never watch TV long enough to 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:32.880 get there. So we have to stop watching our dreams 0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:36.520 and start creating a pathway where we can facilitate our dreams. 0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:39.560 I'll see more and more young people coming to church now, 0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:41.880 see that more? Or is it's slowing down a little bit? 0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:43.960 You know? That's a that's a great question. I think 0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:47.160 it varies from church to church and from region to region. 0:41:47.600 --> 0:41:49.640 I see a lot of young people who are really 0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.520 interested in faith. Many of them are coming to church. 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:55.680 My demos are swinging younger and younger. Fifty percent of 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:59.040 my church as millennials. So I'm seeing a huge interest 0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:02.200 in young people coming to church. But I also am 0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:05.520 seeing a deterioration of attendance because a lot of young 0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:10.719 people yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And you want to 0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.200 watch what do you want to watch it? So we 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.879 stream twenty four hours a day. We scream all week 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.320 long because young people stay up at night and I 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:19.600 often sleep late in the morning. Nothing like what doing 0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.040 your laundry watching Bishop TV? See what I'm saying I'm 0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:24.359 working out in the gym. Yeah, I do. I mean 0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:26.239 I arride in the morning. I put one of your 0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:28.040 storm as long. Was it from YouTube or was it 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.799 the podcast? That's how I consume it. But I've been 0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:33.680 to part of house as well. Yes, your head. There's 0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:35.680 nothing like being a part of house. It's different. It 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.080 is different being there from watching it on TV. You 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.759 can get a perception on TV. But I think when 0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:42.960 I was here before, I talked about the difference between 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.880 a picture and an ultrasound. When you actually go in it, 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:48.920 you see it from a whole different perspective than when 0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:51.680 you're avoid your onluse. I feel like a college basketball game, 0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.360 I'm saying. It had that kind of energy like it 0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:57.840 like a college basketball Any impact from Kanye doing what 0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.480 he's been doing with his Sunday services, you know something, 0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:03.920 I'm thrill anybody who's out there who's doing something positive 0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.640 to help change the world, I'm thrilled about it. I 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:10.440 just hope that while he's busy doing that, that somebody's 0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:13.640 taking care of him, because the problem with being talented 0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:17.080 and being gifted and being good intention is sometimes people 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.799 are so excited about your gift that they take your 0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:23.440 gift and leave you behind. And I think it's very 0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:27.000 very important for him in order to remain stable and 0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:30.080 remain functional, that he's not so busy giving to us 0:43:30.160 --> 0:43:33.160 that nobody's giving to him. But I've seen the music. 0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:36.239 The music is hot. I've seen it performances. I think 0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:40.280 it's absolutely wonderful. But I want somebody there's a scription 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.880 the Bible says, no man cared for my soul. I 0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:45.080 want us to care for his soul as much as 0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:49.359 we care for his music. I would definitely consider doing 0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:53.879 something like that. My focus, however, is everybody's hosting him, 0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:58.520 who's pastoring him? Yeah, you understand what I'm saying. And 0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:00.560 sometimes I don't want to be seen as a gig. 0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:03.759 I don't want to be seen as an opportunity. I 0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:07.520 want to be an year sometimes for people who don't 0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:09.600 have anybody to talk to. So I don't want to 0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:11.560 be in the crowd that reaching after him, trying to 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.759 snatch his gift. I want to be the guy who's 0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:15.920 sitting over in the corner saying, hey, are you okay? 0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.840 How are you balanced? How are you emotionally? How are 0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:23.120 you mentally? Because we're seeing too many of our artists 0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:28.560 drift away, be killed, commit suicide. Nobody was investing into 0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:32.800 that mental right, well right, And you need somebody around 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:36.400 you who doesn't just want you for what you do, 0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.440 to say are you okay? Think of the culture shock 0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.759 it is to go from being in the hood one 0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:47.120 moment to being a celebrity next moment, with no training, 0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:51.160 no preparation, no therapy, and all of a sudden you 0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:54.960 step into this world and you can't get out. Once 0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:59.160 you're famous, you can never be anonymous. So your success 0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.759 can become your prison. And so if you're going to 0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:05.080 realize that, and you're going to recognize that, we have 0:45:05.239 --> 0:45:09.080 to in our community have to be slow to join 0:45:09.160 --> 0:45:12.800 the bandwagon of stoning people who got into trouble. We 0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:15.239 have to be more on the side of the ambulance 0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:17.439 who rushes to the scene of the crime to see 0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:20.000 what we can do, because we are hurting too. We 0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:22.160 know that you are hurting, and we know how to 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:24.080 speak the kind of language to get you back up on. 0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:27.120 I like to reduce people to their mistakes a lot 0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:30.680 of times, absolutely absolutely, while we make our own. And 0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:33.719 so we're all trying to figure out life in the 0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:37.000 moment you figure it out. It changes. You go through 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:41.120 stages at different ages, and different ages bring on different challenges, 0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:45.200 and nobody gets it right every turn because every turn 0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:47.799 is a new experience and you're back to one again 0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:50.640 and you're learning again. As soon as you get used 0:45:50.680 --> 0:45:53.279 to having little kids, they're not little kids. As soon 0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:56.560 as you get used to having teenagers, they've left the house. 0:45:56.920 --> 0:46:00.160 And everything keeps changing on us all the time. You 0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:02.880 never get to be a master at your life because 0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:06.560 of courses keep changing. You know a ball all right, well, 0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:08.520 don't move. We got more with Bishop td Jakes when 0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:12.280 we come back as the Breakfast Club, Good morning pj 0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:16.560 Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God we are. The Breakfast 0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:19.160 Club was still kicking it with Bishop td Jakes. When 0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:20.920 your people come to church, what are they looking for? 0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:23.160 You know, when my grandmother went to church, you wanted 0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:25.360 to hope, She wanted to make sure that her family 0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:27.719 was okay, and she had an opportunity. So what are 0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:29.880 people coming to church for now? Because it's different now 0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:32.279 my kids are online. They look for certain things. They 0:46:32.320 --> 0:46:35.239 have more questions and require more answers. So what are 0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:37.360 people looking for now when they come to church? You know, 0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:39.719 I think it varies from person to person. I think 0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:42.680 hope has a factor degree. And then like we're bleeding 0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:45.640 right now, we're talking about Kobe right now. It reminds 0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:48.560 us of how the brevity of life. It reminds us 0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:51.200 that we don't take time for ourselves. It reminds us 0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:54.120 that there is a life after this life. And so 0:46:54.280 --> 0:46:57.439 people start to think about faith differently. But I also 0:46:57.520 --> 0:47:00.600 think that people come to the Black Church differently than 0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:03.279 they do for other people who come to church. They 0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:06.360 look for our leaders to be involved in the community 0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:11.440 in some way. They look for our levels of quantifiable results. 0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:13.920 How does this help me right now, in the here 0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:18.600 and now, not the sweet by and by inspiration the inspiration. 0:47:19.040 --> 0:47:20.839 And there's one other thing I want to bring up 0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.400 that call these people to come to church. If you 0:47:23.480 --> 0:47:26.680 come to church consistently, church becomes a family. And for 0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:29.440 many of us, that's something we didn't have right I 0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:33.200 learned sometimes it's not so much about pastoring our young man, 0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:35.720 it's about fathering them. I got a few more questions, 0:47:35.760 --> 0:47:37.600 how long can you go without tipping the water, because 0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:44.560 even when I watch you sermons, never been answer that question. Incidentally, 0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:46.480 I don't know I can go a pretty good way. 0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:49.480 I don't think to go for the water. Yeah, when 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:52.520 I get to speaking or teaching, the only thing I'm 0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:55.360 thinking about is what I'm doing. We had a discussion 0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:57.120 the other day about when you go into confession or 0:47:57.200 --> 0:48:01.000 right if they have a responsibility when say, someone commits 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:03.160 a crime and they go and confess that. Now, if 0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:04.959 someone comes to you and they does something, and they've 0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:07.680 done something illegal and they tell you that, is that 0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:10.840 something that you feel a responsibility to report to the 0:48:10.880 --> 0:48:14.200 authorities or is that something that becomes this was a 0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:19.160 confidential conversation. Well, you have the same kind of privilege, 0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:22.680 said an attorney does when somebody comes and discloses something 0:48:22.760 --> 0:48:25.520 to you. And that's important because nobody's going to come 0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:27.960 talk to you about something if they feel like they're 0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:31.160 going to get reported. There are some exceptions to that, however, 0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:34.120 when it comes to child abuse, Yes, you are legally 0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:37.160 required that if you know it, you absolutely have to 0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:39.640 report it. There are other issues that are kind of 0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:42.800 on the borderline where you have to use your best judgment, 0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:45.760 but it has to be serious for you to violate 0:48:45.840 --> 0:48:48.600 the confidential herd. If I came to you and I'm 0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:52.080 gonna shoo Charlomagne tomorrow. That's serious. And the very fact 0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:55.399 that the very God wouldn't like that, and the very 0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:58.440 fact that the very fact that it's that it is, 0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:02.560 and I'm going to I have an obligation to prevent 0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:04.759 that from But if it was already done, yeah, then 0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:07.000 that's what and how long ago was it done? And 0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:10.920 what can be accomplished by exposing that? It's a judgment 0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:14.759 called Have you ever had to do that? I've done everything? Wow, 0:49:15.080 --> 0:49:18.960 And sometimes I have claimed my privilege as a clergyman 0:49:19.480 --> 0:49:23.680 not to testify in a trial. And that privilege is 0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:26.560 only held up in court if it is just you 0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:29.400 and me in the room. If one other person is 0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.280 in the room, or if somebody else was on the phone, 0:49:32.719 --> 0:49:36.239 it violates. I didn't lose that privilege and that ability 0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:38.719 not to speak about the issue. I heard you on 0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:42.719 over Super Soul Conversations, your latest one to transform your life, 0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:45.480 and you spoke about how to use transformational thinking and 0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:48.640 moving beyond your limiting beliefs. What does that look like 0:49:48.760 --> 0:49:53.160 to you? You know, everything is about a change your mind. 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.919 If I change your economic status, but I don't change 0:49:56.960 --> 0:50:00.520 your mentality. Your status will fall back down to your mindset. 0:50:01.320 --> 0:50:06.520 Every change, weight, loss, health, changes, whatever it is, starts 0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:09.120 in the way you think. And until you begin to 0:50:09.320 --> 0:50:12.920 deal with the story you tell yourself and are willing 0:50:13.040 --> 0:50:16.719 to challenge your own truth, you can't really help a 0:50:16.800 --> 0:50:19.960 person to move forward when they hold to their old story. 0:50:20.280 --> 0:50:22.520 Well what about when you're not ready for that transformation? 0:50:22.520 --> 0:50:25.760 Because I was thinking this morning, how can transformational thinking 0:50:25.960 --> 0:50:28.520 help you in matters of grief? Because when you look 0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:31.560 at a situation like you know, the Brian family, her 0:50:31.680 --> 0:50:34.600 whole life has been transformed and she has to change 0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:37.719 the way she thinks moving forward. But she didn't ask 0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:40.239 for that. No, you didn't ask for it. Nobody wants 0:50:40.280 --> 0:50:42.640 that sort of thing to happen, and it takes time. 0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:47.160 You don't change your mind overnight about anything, whether it's 0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:49.719 a tragedy or whether it's a decision to go back 0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:54.000 to school. They're the feeling of misplacement. Anytime there's a change, 0:50:54.239 --> 0:50:56.640 a big change in your life, and give yourself time 0:50:56.719 --> 0:50:59.840 to adapt to that change and accept that change, and 0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:03.520 then figure out who am I now without Kobe in 0:51:03.640 --> 0:51:06.520 my life? Who am I now without this job? You 0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:08.719 can have a new year, all you want to, but 0:51:08.920 --> 0:51:11.279 until you have a new youth, having a new year 0:51:11.360 --> 0:51:14.160 doesn't matter. I want to tell you too, I finally 0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:17.880 got the worthy man. Really it hit me over the holidays, 0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:24.719 but I honestly just felt worthy of existing. It really did. Yeah, 0:51:24.760 --> 0:51:28.320 I remember that conversation we had. Getting to worthy is 0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:34.239 difficult when you have been abused or traumatized, or be 0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:37.719 a little degraded, or have some issues in your past 0:51:37.800 --> 0:51:40.239 where you and if you don't get to worthy, you 0:51:40.400 --> 0:51:45.439 self sabotage. You can self sabotage opportunities because you say 0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:48.200 you want them, but then you sabotage them because you 0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:51.040 really don't feel worthy of them. The hardest thing in 0:51:51.120 --> 0:51:54.080 the world is to love somebody who doesn't love themselves, 0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:57.799 because they will reject your love. They'll cancel it out 0:51:57.880 --> 0:52:00.040 every time because they don't feel worthy of being of 0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:02.719 I don't believe that you could love me because I 0:52:02.800 --> 0:52:05.120 don't love me, so how could you love me? And 0:52:05.360 --> 0:52:09.320 that happens more times than not in relationships, in life 0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:12.040 and in business. And when I challenge you to get 0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.360 to worthy, it is getting to the place that you 0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:17.279 accept the good things that God has done in your 0:52:17.320 --> 0:52:20.839 life and settling in as them being your reality rather 0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:24.560 than living the trauma of where you came from. Absolutely, well, 0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:26.640 we appreciate you for joining us this morning. Yeah. And 0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:30.200 he's got the International Leadership Summit in Charlotte April thirty 0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:31.960 of the May second. Yeah, and I'm gonna invite you 0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:34.560 right on the heart, pulling up. I will really, man, 0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:38.200 I'm pulling up already, had Man, you don't make me 0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:40.680 crowd you. So I'm seriously enough if you would come, 0:52:41.120 --> 0:52:43.440 that would mean everything to me because when I'm this 0:52:43.640 --> 0:52:46.759 is the most amazing event I'm bringing together. I've got 0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:51.200 Denzel Washington coming, I've got Tyler Perry coming. I've got 0:52:51.320 --> 0:52:54.799 Dave Stewart coming. Dave Stewart, it's one of thirteen black 0:52:54.920 --> 0:52:58.320 billionaires in the world and he's also a believer, and 0:52:58.520 --> 0:53:01.320 he's going to be coming. We're gonna be having Christian speakers, 0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:04.720 pastors that are going to be speaking. We've got women 0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:07.320 who are CEOs and executives that are going to be 0:53:07.440 --> 0:53:10.319 mentoring the young women at The Leadership Conference is going 0:53:10.400 --> 0:53:13.200 to be in Charlotte at April twenty eighth through the 0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:16.839 thirty first, And it's just a conglomerate of a lot 0:53:16.880 --> 0:53:20.719 of different things because I don't want to just be 0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:26.759 inspirational and not transformational, because if I keep inspiring you 0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:29.480 and it doesn't happen, then you get tired of hearing 0:53:29.520 --> 0:53:31.880 that it's gonna be all right. So I want to 0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:34.239 put the elements in the room that cause us that 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:37.040 it's gonna be all right to happen in your life. 0:53:37.719 --> 0:53:41.200 People who pull themselves up, people who fought back, people 0:53:41.239 --> 0:53:43.880 who want when you know better, you do better. And 0:53:44.000 --> 0:53:46.319 that's why I'm having the leadership conference were the mental 0:53:46.360 --> 0:53:48.879 health and I'm putting myself on it. Come right on, OK, 0:53:49.280 --> 0:53:51.600 I gotta see what day because you know, you know 0:53:51.719 --> 0:53:54.239 so many people heard you and I talk about when 0:53:54.280 --> 0:53:56.479 you did your book and the power of your book 0:53:56.520 --> 0:53:58.600 and the power of your story. It helped a lot 0:53:58.680 --> 0:54:01.279 of other people to begin to beginning to be able 0:54:01.360 --> 0:54:05.759 to talk. You're opening your mouth to speak about your 0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:09.319 life and about your childhood became a model for many 0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:13.480 other black men who don't talk enough. So I take 0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:16.759 you very seriously in that spot. I admire you very 0:54:16.840 --> 0:54:19.800 greatly for what you're doing and having the boldness to 0:54:19.920 --> 0:54:22.160 speak about that, and I look forward to doing a 0:54:22.239 --> 0:54:24.280 lot of things with you that I think it's very important, 0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:27.719 my brother Rae. It's Bishop td Jakes. Thank you for 0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:29.920 joining us again. It's been a real pleasure. Thanks for 0:54:30.000 --> 0:54:34.000 having me. It's the Breakfast Club, Morning Morning. Everybody is 0:54:34.080 --> 0:54:37.320 DJ MVY Angela Yee, Charlemagne the God. We are the 0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:40.080 Breakfast Club droving a clue box with Bishop td Jakes. Yes, 0:54:40.280 --> 0:54:42.960 I needed that word this morning. Only the only thing 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:45.320 I'm mad we didn't close out in the prayer, you 0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:46.919 know what, and we usually do that in the prayer. 0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:51.880 May God damn it. We should say that miss in 0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:55.400 a prayer. May God knows my heart. God cares if 0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:58.040 you say damn it after his name. He might, yes, please, 0:54:58.760 --> 0:55:00.200 he might care about that too. But let's get to 0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:04.040 the rumors. Let's talk Shock. This is the rum of 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:14.920 report Well. Shack opened up on his podcast The Big 0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:18.919 Podcast with Shock last night and he spoke on having 0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:22.480 a really tough time with losses, including the death of 0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:25.879 his sister as well as Kobe. I'm not doing well. 0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:29.960 I'm sick. I'm just getting over the death of my sister. 0:55:30.640 --> 0:55:34.319 And I haven't been sleeping after Asia's death because it's 0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:37.640 just you know, not thinking about just the good times, 0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:40.400 but thinking about the times when I could have did something, 0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:43.399 or could have did something different, or could have loved 0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:47.120 them more. And the same thing hit when I found 0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:50.000 out this news. I didn't do anything. I ever eating, 0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:55.000 I slept. I'm sick right now now. Her sister passed 0:55:55.040 --> 0:55:58.480 in October. She died from cancer. Here's more of what 0:55:58.560 --> 0:56:01.640 Shack got to say about his relationship with Kobe. Our 0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:05.520 relationship was that of brothers. When I saw Kobe and 0:56:05.640 --> 0:56:08.680 his daughters loved them, he saw my kids love them. 0:56:08.719 --> 0:56:10.759 If you look at my kids this Instagram. He talked 0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:13.839 to Sharif yesterday morning. He was checking in on your son, 0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:16.560 so not an hour before his death. So all the 0:56:16.640 --> 0:56:19.600 stuff that this document between us, it was never a dislike. 0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:22.400 It's just listen, this is what brothers do. I have 0:56:22.480 --> 0:56:24.440 a younger brother. We fight all the time. But guess what, 0:56:24.560 --> 0:56:26.640 I love them, and I love Kobe Bryant. I'm the 0:56:26.760 --> 0:56:29.520 first to say, hey, I got four rings, and I 0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:31.719 know I couldn't have got three without him, So I'm 0:56:31.760 --> 0:56:34.680 glad we became closer. But I just sit back and 0:56:34.800 --> 0:56:38.640 say what if? What if? And the only thing that 0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:41.480 saidened to me is he's not gonna be here when 0:56:41.560 --> 0:56:46.040 he walks into the Hall of Fame, said they actually 0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:48.840 won three NBA championships in a row together. Yeah. I 0:56:48.840 --> 0:56:52.120 saw an idiot yesterday say, finally y'all want to put 0:56:52.200 --> 0:56:55.160 Kobe Bryant in the Hall of Fame. Dumbass. This is 0:56:55.239 --> 0:56:59.000 his first year of eligibility and he's a nominee this year, 0:56:59.160 --> 0:57:00.640 and he was gonna be a first ballot Hall of 0:57:00.680 --> 0:57:05.280 Famer anyway, foolish as all right, Well, Shaquille O'Neil's son, Sharif, 0:57:05.440 --> 0:57:08.799 actually had just spoken to Kobe that morning. Kobe had 0:57:08.880 --> 0:57:12.239 sent him a DM you good, fam, and Sharif responded, Yeah, 0:57:12.360 --> 0:57:14.200 just getting this work in, trying to figure out my 0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:18.560 next move. How you've been And that was in the morning, ya, 0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.520 all right. Now, in addition to that, Kobe was actually 0:57:21.600 --> 0:57:25.000 working on a kid's book, and the author of The 0:57:25.120 --> 0:57:28.720 Alchemist was actually the person working on with him, Paulo Koelo, 0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:32.800 and he revealed that he put up some dms where 0:57:32.920 --> 0:57:35.520 Kobe had actually sent to him, let's write that book together, 0:57:36.120 --> 0:57:38.840 and he responded anytime. And this was just last year. 0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:42.160 So now Koelo said he deleted the draft. He said 0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:44.480 it didn't make any sense to publish without him it 0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:47.720 wouldn't add anything to relevant to him or his family. 0:57:48.000 --> 0:57:50.000 That doesn't stop me from writing some day about things 0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:51.880 I learned from Kobe and how much of a larger 0:57:51.920 --> 0:57:54.240 than life person he was. But the children's book did 0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:57.160 not make sense anymore. Yeah, he put out the children's 0:57:57.160 --> 0:57:59.600 book last year. I forgot what I think it's called 0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:01.520 The Wizard the Ward the Wizard series that the with 0:58:01.640 --> 0:58:03.760 an large series or something like that. But The Alchemist 0:58:03.800 --> 0:58:07.320 is one of Kobe's favorite books, so even had recommended 0:58:07.360 --> 0:58:11.520 it to Kyrie Irving. Also, all right, now, speaking of books, 0:58:11.640 --> 0:58:14.360 let's talk about Oprah's book club, because people are upset 0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:19.400 about the novel that Oprah has chosen for her book club, 0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:22.240 and you know she does. She does her club on 0:58:22.280 --> 0:58:26.840 Apple right, and the book is called American Dirt by 0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:30.640 Jeanine Cummings. Now, a lot of people criticize there for 0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:33.680 having this book be the next book that she's featuring. 0:58:33.800 --> 0:58:37.320 And here's how Oprah responded. So when I first started 0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:41.480 to hear your comments opposing the selection, I was asking 0:58:41.560 --> 0:58:46.439 the question in earnest, like what is offensive. I've spent 0:58:46.640 --> 0:58:51.120 the past few days listening to members of the Latin 0:58:51.160 --> 0:58:54.720 Next community, and I hear them. So what I want 0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:58.000 to do is bring people together from all sides to 0:58:58.160 --> 0:59:03.400 talk about this book and who gets to publish what stories? 0:59:04.680 --> 0:59:06.640 All Right, The problem is it's a white woman who 0:59:06.800 --> 0:59:12.040 is writing about Mexican migrants and she got over a 0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:14.240 million dollars by the way to do this book. And 0:59:14.280 --> 0:59:16.600 the book is also going to be adapted into a movie. 0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:19.400 And so there's a lot of criticism because the Latin 0:59:19.560 --> 0:59:22.360 X people are not represented in the publishing world, and 0:59:22.440 --> 0:59:25.240 they certainly don't get those deals like that when they 0:59:25.280 --> 0:59:27.520 write about their own experiences. And they said, even in 0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:29.840 the book, there's a lot of things that aren't even true, 0:59:29.920 --> 0:59:32.200 like she calls her mom a boila and you know 0:59:32.280 --> 0:59:36.040 that's grandmother in Spanish, and just other certain things that 0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:38.880 she does in the book that are not authentic to 0:59:39.000 --> 0:59:41.960 the experience. So they have problems with that with American 0:59:42.040 --> 0:59:45.200 Dirt also, they said there's some plagiarism. There's a lot 0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:48.200 of similarities to other authors works. In particular, there's a 0:59:48.560 --> 0:59:52.640 similarity to author Aurea, who writes about and one of 0:59:52.720 --> 0:59:55.760 his characters in his book and it's a nonfiction book 0:59:56.040 --> 0:59:59.880 getting crushed by the tires of a garbage truck and 1:00:00.000 --> 1:00:03.200 she has a very similar scene in her novel as well. 1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:05.240 So basically, it's too much mayonnaise when it needs to 1:00:05.240 --> 1:00:09.040 be more goyas, which exactly, and Latinos make up only 1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:12.080 six percent of the literary industry according to a study 1:00:12.160 --> 1:00:15.280 on diversity, and the nation is close to twenty percent Latinos. 1:00:15.400 --> 1:00:17.320 What is the book actually about? Is it about the 1:00:17.440 --> 1:00:20.200 Latin X community. Yeah, it's a fictional novel and it's 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:25.880 about Mexican migrants, something that she has not experienced. A 1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:27.760 lot of things they said aren't even factual that she 1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:29.880 writes about in the book, and she had a million 1:00:29.880 --> 1:00:31.600 dollars for it. Yeah, but you know, when you do 1:00:31.680 --> 1:00:33.400 a fictional book, you still want to be true to 1:00:33.640 --> 1:00:36.600 what the experience is like, like you're writing about places 1:00:37.080 --> 1:00:40.240 in Mexico that don't even exist anymore, or saying that 1:00:40.320 --> 1:00:43.439 you're putting sour cream on tacos industry, just certain things, 1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:47.640 calling the mom abuela when that really means grandmother. That. Yeah, 1:00:47.640 --> 1:00:49.880 I'm not defending this Mannaid's flavored mail, but just to 1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:52.440 play white devil's advocate. If it's a fiction book, I 1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:54.720 don't know if you got to be actual and factual. 1:00:55.840 --> 1:00:58.440 I think it's just be actual to what the experience 1:00:58.480 --> 1:01:01.960 would be like if it really was in Mexico. Yeah, no, 1:01:02.280 --> 1:01:04.640 it's it's a fabricated but it's supposed to be. It's 1:01:04.640 --> 1:01:06.960 a it's a fictional book. But you know, like if 1:01:07.040 --> 1:01:10.160 somebody's writing about a Monk's Corner, you want them to 1:01:10.240 --> 1:01:12.480 actually name like real streets. You can't write about a 1:01:12.520 --> 1:01:15.400 real place. I'm gonna say the spaceships there. I'm gonna 1:01:15.400 --> 1:01:16.840 say there's all types of things there because well it 1:01:16.920 --> 1:01:19.360 wasn't like that. It was. It was supposed to seem 1:01:19.440 --> 1:01:21.560 like it was real, because you could have a fictional book, 1:01:21.680 --> 1:01:24.160 you know, set in a real place with the stories. 1:01:24.360 --> 1:01:26.760 You know, it's fake, fake, it's not a sci fi 1:01:26.960 --> 1:01:29.240 or anything like about. Think about all of these books 1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:31.200 that have been written about New York, all these movies 1:01:31.240 --> 1:01:32.920 that have done about New York. I Am Legend is 1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:34.720 a fictional movie, but it was based in New York. 1:01:34.760 --> 1:01:37.480 Avengers if they fought here in New York when it 1:01:37.520 --> 1:01:41.120 was a fictional shut up, Yeah, I mean you can't. 1:01:41.200 --> 1:01:43.760 You can't do things like you can't do things like 1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:46.760 caul your mother abuela when Abella means grandmother in Spanish. 1:01:46.880 --> 1:01:52.600 That's just incorrect. You get it, okay? Well they also 1:01:53.080 --> 1:01:57.360 they also what if your mom is somebody's grandma but 1:01:57.520 --> 1:02:01.560 not yours. Yeah, don't confuse me this morning like my 1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:03.400 mama Grammy and I'll play with her sometimes like hey, 1:02:03.440 --> 1:02:06.320 what's up, Grammy? You know what I mean? You're saying, 1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:11.800 are you defending this now? I just said, well, I'm 1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:14.880 just telling you. I'm just telling you what the controversy 1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:18.040 is behind all of this though, and the outrage, and 1:02:18.080 --> 1:02:20.640 they actually did have to cancel There was a book 1:02:20.640 --> 1:02:22.520 signing that she was supposed to be doing. They actually 1:02:22.560 --> 1:02:25.600 had to cancel it because of all this controversy, uh 1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:28.120 surrounding it and people are upset that, Oprah, why don't 1:02:28.160 --> 1:02:31.200 you use one of these authors that write about authentic 1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:35.320 experiences that are actually Latin Latino that can tell those 1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:38.760 stories better?

We have Steve 1:03:05.800 --> 1:03:07.760 Stout here this morning morning. What do we even call 1:03:07.840 --> 1:03:09.800 Steve Stout? Now, I was gonna call him, I don't know. 1:03:09.840 --> 1:03:16.760 It's entrepreneur, executive business, connecting the guy everything. I've been 1:03:16.800 --> 1:03:19.120 doing it for a while. I'll take it off. Played 1:03:19.160 --> 1:03:21.760 all the positions in the field now. You know. One 1:03:21.760 --> 1:03:23.120 of the reasons why we wanted to talk to you 1:03:23.200 --> 1:03:25.240 this morning is is I know that you had a 1:03:25.320 --> 1:03:27.360 close relationship with Kobe. I know you got him his 1:03:27.440 --> 1:03:29.880 first deals, first signed him his first record deal, and 1:03:29.960 --> 1:03:32.880 I think I first on the first time he came 1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:34.760 to New York. I remember seeing him at the Rocket Park. 1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:36.080 I'm not sure if he was You're the one that 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:38.640 we him into playing at the Rock at that time too, well, yeah, 1:03:38.720 --> 1:03:42.600 he um as a rookie. UM. I met him and 1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:45.120 he wanted to put out an album and he was 1:03:45.440 --> 1:03:48.080 actually part of a group and I signed a group 1:03:48.120 --> 1:03:51.960 over at Columbia UM track Masses. We signed him and 1:03:52.320 --> 1:03:54.400 we were just coming off of like Llo cool J 1:03:54.640 --> 1:03:57.600 and Will Smith and you know, we thought we could 1:03:57.640 --> 1:03:59.680 make this thing work. And who also was in the group. 1:04:00.240 --> 1:04:03.120 There's a guys from Philly Guys High School with UM 1:04:03.280 --> 1:04:06.479 and he stayed in New York, Man and he spent 1:04:06.560 --> 1:04:10.240 a lot of time with with NAS, with Foxy, like 1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:14.680 really trying to acclimate himself to UM, to what he 1:04:14.800 --> 1:04:18.040 was gonna you know, to do as a as an artist, Uh, 1:04:18.160 --> 1:04:20.800 to learn. And that's the thing that I got from him, Um, 1:04:21.080 --> 1:04:23.000 is that when he decided to do something, he went 1:04:23.080 --> 1:04:27.760 so all in envy. I mean, I've seen in my 1:04:27.960 --> 1:04:31.680 life maybe three four people with the work ethic that 1:04:31.840 --> 1:04:34.000 this man had, and it was just, I mean just 1:04:34.200 --> 1:04:38.720 beyond in anything. I mean just beyond um. You know. 1:04:38.880 --> 1:04:41.520 So anyhow, he came to New York and he lived 1:04:41.560 --> 1:04:44.560 at me for a month, UM while we were making 1:04:44.600 --> 1:04:47.480 that album and and and during that time we became 1:04:47.560 --> 1:04:50.040 really close friends. And we became friends and you know, 1:04:50.320 --> 1:04:53.080 last up until you know, his unfortunate passing. Yeah, I 1:04:53.080 --> 1:04:56.439 saw you uh to get his last game he ever played. 1:04:56.880 --> 1:04:59.280 He gave you a game, ball gave you. Yeah, we 1:04:59.360 --> 1:05:05.200 were the last game he played. And um, it's unfortunate, man, 1:05:05.680 --> 1:05:08.720 it's it's stuff. We lost. We lost a hero and 1:05:08.880 --> 1:05:11.640 he was now. The thing about it that's crazy was 1:05:11.720 --> 1:05:15.480 that he was now entering this comfortable state of giving 1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:19.080 away his magic, that sort the tips of the science. 1:05:19.200 --> 1:05:21.560 Like he was giving it away that special athletes, they'd 1:05:21.600 --> 1:05:23.800 come to see him and get coached up. But he 1:05:24.000 --> 1:05:26.200 but as a businessman, he started to give away a 1:05:26.280 --> 1:05:29.320 lot of those insights that would be helpful to all 1:05:29.760 --> 1:05:31.840 of us. Where were you when you heard the news? 1:05:33.240 --> 1:05:37.520 I was in the crib and I got the note. Um, 1:05:38.040 --> 1:05:41.720 and then you kind of want to believe that tmzs fake, 1:05:42.120 --> 1:05:46.080 and then you realize that TMZ hasn't been wrong in years, Like, 1:05:46.200 --> 1:05:49.040 it's not fake. They kill Wayne? They killed Wayne? They 1:05:49.120 --> 1:05:51.880 did Okay, look all right, well I did see that. 1:05:52.040 --> 1:05:54.160 I was like, when I wait for some other outlets 1:05:54.200 --> 1:05:59.520 to verify, to verify, well, you pray that it's wrong, 1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:02.160 and you you know, you also have a little Yeah, 1:06:02.240 --> 1:06:05.160 one eye opened with with TMZ. But that's how I 1:06:05.280 --> 1:06:08.680 first heard about it, and then I made phone calls. Um, 1:06:08.840 --> 1:06:11.480 we worked with the NBA and then you know, obviously 1:06:11.560 --> 1:06:14.400 through the NBA and um mutual friends, it was it 1:06:14.560 --> 1:06:19.120 was confirmed that it was real two months ago. Yeah. Um, 1:06:20.880 --> 1:06:22.760 it was a great He was really going into that 1:06:23.000 --> 1:06:26.120 that like hitting his stride as a businessman. He had 1:06:26.160 --> 1:06:28.919 it all set up, man, Um, you guy he leaves 1:06:28.960 --> 1:06:31.880 the game a year later wins an oscar. It's these 1:06:31.920 --> 1:06:34.760 are just crazy things, man, that he put out in 1:06:34.800 --> 1:06:37.600 the world. He and his daughter. I mean, first of all, 1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:40.160 God blessed the other families that were you know, lost 1:06:40.200 --> 1:06:43.000 ones on that on that helicopter. And his daughter, Um, 1:06:43.920 --> 1:06:46.720 I mean she was the next Hymn. I mean, she 1:06:46.840 --> 1:06:50.240 had that dedication and focus. He was proud. He was 1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:54.560 very outspoken about women's college basketball and the w NBA, 1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:58.880 and he was like, uh, the facto name and face 1:06:59.000 --> 1:07:02.720 behind um growing that sport. He believed in it, Um, 1:07:02.760 --> 1:07:06.240 and his daughter was gonna, you know, obviously go that route. Um. 1:07:06.480 --> 1:07:09.200 And just to know the poetic justice of it all, 1:07:09.720 --> 1:07:13.760 like this guy passed taking his daughter to a game, man, 1:07:14.240 --> 1:07:17.800 you know, like that's that's what he was doing. So 1:07:17.960 --> 1:07:21.760 it's tough, Um, and it it reminds you and we 1:07:21.840 --> 1:07:24.640 always get reminded I'm sure we all had these kinds 1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:27.600 of moments in our life that you gotta give people 1:07:27.640 --> 1:07:29.560 their flowers in their lives. You gotta tell me, and 1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:31.760 you gotta live every life. You live your life like 1:07:32.200 --> 1:07:34.480 you're not promised tomorrow. And you know, it's easy to 1:07:34.560 --> 1:07:38.280 forget that. It's very easy within um, the day to 1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:41.840 day of it all, um, and things that come thrown 1:07:41.880 --> 1:07:44.680 at you, to forget that you're not promised tomorrow. Does 1:07:44.720 --> 1:07:48.720 it make you question your own mortality? No way? Yeah? Always. Um. 1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:53.080 You know, at every at every funeral, every time there's 1:07:53.120 --> 1:07:55.240 a death, you think about you know, are you for 1:07:55.360 --> 1:07:58.080 me rather? Um? Am? I living my life the way 1:07:58.080 --> 1:08:00.520 I want to live it, am I. You know, if 1:08:00.840 --> 1:08:04.240 words were spoken about me, have I done enough to 1:08:05.760 --> 1:08:07.919 to deserve the words that I that I would once 1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:10.960 said about me? Depends who speaking? Al Right, Well I'm 1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:15.080 not I'm not here. I would just say in general, 1:08:15.200 --> 1:08:17.120 you see all the people who have great positive things 1:08:17.160 --> 1:08:20.599 to say about their experiences and their relationships with Kobe, 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:23.200 and I think that's the legacy everybody should want to 1:08:23.280 --> 1:08:26.200 leave behind. Look, that's that's that's that's the point of 1:08:26.280 --> 1:08:29.160 what we all doing this thing for, right You have. 1:08:29.360 --> 1:08:32.960 That's the whole point of having kids and um leaving 1:08:33.000 --> 1:08:37.240 a great example so that that multiplies generation after generation. 1:08:37.360 --> 1:08:40.600 So you would want to leave a mark on this 1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:44.960 earth and instill values in your family so that um, 1:08:45.760 --> 1:08:49.760 those learnings couldn't be uh multiplied, they could they could 1:08:49.800 --> 1:08:53.719 do something for generations. And I feel like I've always 1:08:53.760 --> 1:08:57.960 felt like this, that you we are all blessed and 1:08:58.760 --> 1:09:04.240 your job is to take full advantage of the opportunities 1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:07.439 that you have. I've always felt like I was. My 1:09:07.600 --> 1:09:09.760 dad taught me this, like no matter whether I was 1:09:09.800 --> 1:09:12.479 in the music business or a mechanic, Like, you got 1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:14.960 to really go as hard as you can at the 1:09:15.120 --> 1:09:18.439 thing that you're doing. It's like there's no reason not to. 1:09:18.680 --> 1:09:22.360 That's that's almost the privilege and the obligation to do that. 1:09:23.160 --> 1:09:26.600 And all the great people that I've ever had the 1:09:26.720 --> 1:09:29.519 privilege to be around, they've lived their life that way. 1:09:29.560 --> 1:09:33.400 They never got satisfied. They never And you'd be looking 1:09:33.400 --> 1:09:35.000 at me, you ever look at people who in the 1:09:35.080 --> 1:09:37.479 greatest shape, and you're like, you see them running every day, 1:09:37.520 --> 1:09:40.200 Like damn, I why they're already in great shape? Why 1:09:40.479 --> 1:09:42.800 that's how they're in great shape? Right? You see people 1:09:42.840 --> 1:09:46.240 who are successful in business or successful in life, You're like, 1:09:46.560 --> 1:09:48.760 why are they still going so hard? They don't even 1:09:48.880 --> 1:09:50.439 have an off switch. They don't even know what you're 1:09:50.479 --> 1:09:53.400 talking about. It's like a book mastering, like Robert Green, 1:09:53.520 --> 1:09:56.040 where he talks about mastering whatever it is that you 1:09:56.120 --> 1:09:57.760 want to do, and how many hours it took for 1:09:57.880 --> 1:10:00.519 certain people to master their arts and their or whatever 1:10:00.560 --> 1:10:02.840 it is that they want to be great at. Ever 1:10:02.920 --> 1:10:09.200 stop you you never stopped. If I've seen uh Damon 1:10:09.280 --> 1:10:11.479 on the show that the last the last last week 1:10:11.560 --> 1:10:13.720 or whatever, and he talked about how much you guys 1:10:13.760 --> 1:10:16.519 have evolved, you can't see it, but you don't even 1:10:16.640 --> 1:10:22.040 understand how super professional that you guys have evolved to 1:10:22.320 --> 1:10:26.560 over the last five years, seven years. But the evolution 1:10:26.680 --> 1:10:28.840 of what And it's because you come in every day 1:10:28.880 --> 1:10:31.400 and you care, and you guys are obviously a family, 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:34.000 and you have committed to one another to care. So 1:10:34.080 --> 1:10:36.880 when you interview politicians or it doesn't make a difference 1:10:37.000 --> 1:10:41.800 who it is, you feel that you are each play 1:10:41.840 --> 1:10:44.519 yer role, you add to the subject, you get the 1:10:44.600 --> 1:10:47.120 most out of the interview. But I couldn't have said 1:10:47.120 --> 1:10:50.519 that five years ago, right, I respected, Yeah, that's what 1:10:50.640 --> 1:10:52.360 broke was about. All right, we got more with Steve 1:10:52.400 --> 1:10:54.599 Statt when we come back. Don't move as to breakfast Club. 1:10:54.640 --> 1:10:59.640 Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne 1:10:59.640 --> 1:11:02.559 the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still sitting 1:11:02.600 --> 1:11:05.640 here with Steve Stout. Since you talk about working with 1:11:05.680 --> 1:11:08.519 the NBA United Masters, what is that deal to say 1:11:08.560 --> 1:11:12.200 you're providing the music. Oh, yeah, that's that's awesome. Not 1:11:12.360 --> 1:11:14.080 only did we so we were always working with the 1:11:14.200 --> 1:11:18.080 NBA on music, but now we did this relationship between 1:11:18.120 --> 1:11:22.200 Apple and the NBA and United Masses where we're basically 1:11:22.280 --> 1:11:27.600 creating the greatest playlist for independent artists. So Apple and 1:11:27.680 --> 1:11:30.400 the NBA are promoting these artists that are coming to 1:11:30.560 --> 1:11:35.360 United Masters to create the greatest playlists for independent artists. 1:11:35.360 --> 1:11:38.280 I don't want to think rap caviare but only for 1:11:38.400 --> 1:11:43.040 independent artists. And this is just another step forward, and 1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:46.920 you guys are seeing it for sure. The legacy record 1:11:46.920 --> 1:11:51.600 companies are slowly losing their hold on controlling talent. The 1:11:51.720 --> 1:11:54.320 thing that I learned, and you've learned this in your 1:11:54.400 --> 1:11:57.600 individual businesses, is back in the day, you had to 1:11:57.680 --> 1:12:00.879 go to a record company first, to find an audience, 1:12:01.479 --> 1:12:03.280 or you had to go to a radio station first 1:12:03.360 --> 1:12:06.439 to find an audience. Right in your business, you actually 1:12:06.479 --> 1:12:09.840 can find an audience before you find the radio. You 1:12:09.920 --> 1:12:12.719 can find the audience before you find the record company. 1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:16.160 So now you have the control. And that's all I've 1:12:16.200 --> 1:12:18.360 been saying for the last two years. But United Masses 1:12:18.520 --> 1:12:20.320 is like in the beginning it was fuzzy, like what 1:12:20.479 --> 1:12:23.200 is this to distribution company? What does that mean? Or 1:12:23.240 --> 1:12:26.360 what it means is if you found your audience before 1:12:26.439 --> 1:12:29.000 you had a record company, you have all the leverage. 1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:32.800 You don't have to work for them. In fact, they 1:12:32.840 --> 1:12:36.120 should license it from you. That's what a partnership is 1:12:36.160 --> 1:12:39.840 all about. A lot of what Damon has was saying 1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:43.200 back in the days. Pardon his delivery, but he was 1:12:43.240 --> 1:12:47.519 really talking about that, right, like, you already control our culture, 1:12:47.600 --> 1:12:51.320 controls the opportunity. We already can build the audience. So 1:12:51.479 --> 1:12:54.120 why do you need to then turn that over to 1:12:54.200 --> 1:12:57.160 somebody else to own when you could retain it and 1:12:57.160 --> 1:12:59.720 they can just license it. And that's that's been my 1:13:00.200 --> 1:13:02.920 with the record business. Not that the record business is wrong, 1:13:03.439 --> 1:13:07.840 but what used to be the way or the only way, 1:13:08.040 --> 1:13:10.680 it's no longer the way at all. We've been the 1:13:10.760 --> 1:13:14.040 launching pad for a few actes yet little tacker um, 1:13:14.600 --> 1:13:17.599 y'all see from the time NLA Shopper game. Here see 1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:20.240 what took man, And I've done this in broaddaylight. This 1:13:20.560 --> 1:13:23.400 this is broadday light, Like, oh my god, Steve stops 1:13:23.400 --> 1:13:26.800 putting his career in I know, I'm putting your intelligence 1:13:26.840 --> 1:13:31.160 on the line. Really think alike, like you guys are 1:13:31.520 --> 1:13:35.280 just you almost like when when the business moves your 1:13:35.360 --> 1:13:38.920 mentality the mindset to the fact that you guys conflict 1:13:39.000 --> 1:13:43.680 all that. Yes, y'all, I think hip hop has understood 1:13:43.720 --> 1:13:47.840 that really well right and often that's probably where um 1:13:48.080 --> 1:13:57.240 the similarities end, where the differences coming style, delivery, approach, um, consistency, persistence. 1:13:57.960 --> 1:14:00.320 I don't know, do you guys still have conversation just now, 1:14:00.320 --> 1:14:02.560 because I know he said you all had a conversation 1:14:03.200 --> 1:14:13.280 and said no, I mean, I've seen him at Kanye Stinging. 1:14:13.320 --> 1:14:16.120 I told him like you were a lot of things 1:14:16.160 --> 1:14:18.040 that you said you were right, but your delivery was 1:14:18.120 --> 1:14:23.320 off and the evolution of us as men um. I 1:14:23.360 --> 1:14:25.439 would probably had never told him that at thirty five, 1:14:25.720 --> 1:14:28.320 but I probably didn't realize that at thirty five, you know, 1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:31.439 but at you know, forty nine years old. I could 1:14:31.479 --> 1:14:34.479 easily tell him that, and it's no problem. I could. 1:14:34.560 --> 1:14:37.120 By the way, I have no problem with it with anybody. Um, 1:14:37.600 --> 1:14:40.360 I'm on the other side of it now. I'm I'm 1:14:40.400 --> 1:14:44.880 already Steve stout Man, I'm cool. How much longer did 1:14:44.920 --> 1:14:47.200 these legacy companies have because I can see all of 1:14:47.240 --> 1:14:49.280 these artists getting out there deals, Like you know, Meek 1:14:49.320 --> 1:14:50.880 mil got like one album left. I think he got 1:14:50.920 --> 1:14:52.600 like one album left. I think Drake might have what 1:14:52.680 --> 1:14:53.600 I went out and I can see all of them 1:14:53.640 --> 1:14:55.560 get out there. Drake, by the way, Drake, Drake is 1:14:55.600 --> 1:14:58.840 about to catch him bag? Really, oh god, from you 1:14:58.960 --> 1:15:02.280 might catch the biggest bat I got ever received from 1:15:02.360 --> 1:15:06.839 individual artists, from arts, from yeah, from from labels, from anybody. 1:15:07.240 --> 1:15:11.559 Maybe he may catch the biggest bag of recording artists 1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:16.040 ever received period upfront? What's the science behind that? When 1:15:16.080 --> 1:15:18.439 you do just creat Apple Exclusive, he's the biggest Well, 1:15:18.479 --> 1:15:21.639 he's if he if he decided to go to Apple Exclusive, 1:15:21.640 --> 1:15:24.040 if he decided to go to Apple and Spotify and 1:15:24.240 --> 1:15:26.880 own his rights going forward, they would pay him anything 1:15:27.479 --> 1:15:30.240 if if if, if Universal wants to keep him because 1:15:30.400 --> 1:15:34.400 the record companies, they're in this spot where um the 1:15:34.520 --> 1:15:38.800 biggest acts, the biggest artist the weekend post Malone, um 1:15:39.320 --> 1:15:46.040 sand your comments of uh Drake being the biggest, they 1:15:46.200 --> 1:15:49.639 have the best deals in their favor. So the record 1:15:49.640 --> 1:15:52.800 companies the biggest artists of the of the deals that 1:15:52.880 --> 1:15:57.240 they have the worst arrangement with, right, and those deals 1:15:57.280 --> 1:16:00.519 are bad. But they also say we got Drake that right, 1:16:00.720 --> 1:16:04.240 and they used that to sign other artists, so that 1:16:04.400 --> 1:16:07.400 paying a premium to keep those acts in. And if 1:16:07.560 --> 1:16:10.519 those acts start leaving because they're on short term deals, 1:16:11.120 --> 1:16:13.840 if those acts start leaving, that's when you will seek 1:16:14.120 --> 1:16:17.080 the whole thing flip over and somebody's gonna do it. 1:16:17.240 --> 1:16:19.760 Did you try to take a clue from Dame Dash? 1:16:20.400 --> 1:16:26.160 Is that story true? Yeah? Let me tell exactly what happened. Well, yeah, 1:16:26.840 --> 1:16:29.280 I can't be mad ascent because he don't you because 1:16:29.280 --> 1:16:33.120 that's not even because because what happened was what's funny 1:16:33.280 --> 1:16:36.080 is Dame say Clue, I'm gonna give you a deal. 1:16:36.640 --> 1:16:38.519 And six months went by and he had no deal, 1:16:38.920 --> 1:16:41.200 and then Clue asked me to manage him. And I'm like, 1:16:41.840 --> 1:16:44.240 there's nothing to manage. You have no deal. Could you 1:16:44.680 --> 1:16:47.720 help me with my deal. No follow up whatever. They 1:16:47.840 --> 1:16:50.320 must have been in the middle of the hindsight. They 1:16:50.360 --> 1:16:52.599 didn't get this man a contract. So now I'm sitting 1:16:52.600 --> 1:16:56.559 there at the top of Columbia Records and Clues like, well, 1:16:56.760 --> 1:16:58.280 I want to get my record. I'm like, well, then 1:16:58.320 --> 1:17:01.200 I'll give you a deal. That actually led to how 1:17:01.320 --> 1:17:03.360 Jay and I got close because we were sitting at 1:17:03.400 --> 1:17:05.920 the top of Sony. I'm sitting in my office at 1:17:06.000 --> 1:17:08.840 nine o'clock at night, I get the menacing phone call 1:17:08.920 --> 1:17:12.400 from jay Z and I said, great, let me tell 1:17:12.400 --> 1:17:16.120 you my address, and they come up before Yeah, and 1:17:16.160 --> 1:17:18.519 they came out to my office. Time time came, I think, 1:17:19.080 --> 1:17:23.240 and Clue was sitting there and Clues absolutely nervous. Um 1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:28.200 and I'm barefoot also TOPI was with time time, Dame, bigs, 1:17:28.320 --> 1:17:31.240 Jay this that they came came, Then they came. They 1:17:31.439 --> 1:17:36.240 the whole rocket Feller and by yourself and by myself 1:17:36.479 --> 1:17:39.160 literally barefoot. Why were you barefoot? Because I saw I 1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:43.040 work around. Man, I'm West Indian. Nice carpeted off, Yeah, 1:17:43.200 --> 1:17:46.040 nice carpeted office. That's just that's what you're supposed to say. Like, man, 1:17:46.479 --> 1:17:52.080 the carpet must have been playing, that's why. Uh So, Anyhow, 1:17:52.160 --> 1:17:55.320 they came in and um, I had made a joke 1:17:55.520 --> 1:17:58.280 something I talked about. Look, I don't care about no 1:17:58.439 --> 1:18:01.160 disrespect the clue, but I'm playing this game for a 1:18:01.240 --> 1:18:03.559 much larger thing, and if we're trying to buy big 1:18:03.640 --> 1:18:07.000 houses things, I can't be sitting around it like you 1:18:07.040 --> 1:18:09.599 guys didn't give him a deal. In fact, the deal 1:18:09.680 --> 1:18:12.320 got closed that night and then I said, Clue, you'll 1:18:12.360 --> 1:18:15.000 sign them, and I signed Kicker Prey and that's what 1:18:15.120 --> 1:18:17.640 we did. And I was like, but then Jay and 1:18:17.680 --> 1:18:21.120 I got close from that, I think they must the 1:18:21.200 --> 1:18:23.360 connection was like he just said come to his office. 1:18:23.400 --> 1:18:27.599 He was really buy himself in his office, and you know, Um, 1:18:27.920 --> 1:18:30.320 but the point is failess in that way. I'm terry 1:18:30.360 --> 1:18:35.120 fail us in that way, and I'm excited where this 1:18:35.360 --> 1:18:38.479 shopter right here is gonna take all of us Because 1:18:38.520 --> 1:18:40.560 a lot of times you start to think, man, this 1:18:40.840 --> 1:18:44.479 industry is fully matured. We're there already. You know, I 1:18:44.640 --> 1:18:47.400 used to think Miss pac Man was mainstream. The world 1:18:47.439 --> 1:18:52.559 of Warcraft is mainstream, right, Fortnite's mainstream. Miss pac Man 1:18:52.720 --> 1:18:56.320 was big. This is something else. We're still at Miss 1:18:56.400 --> 1:18:59.479 pac Man level hip hop culture. What we're all doing 1:18:59.720 --> 1:19:02.559 is still at Miss pac Man love, but we appreciate 1:19:02.600 --> 1:19:05.280 you for joining. I always like being up here, man. 1:19:05.640 --> 1:19:08.879 I really enjoyed coming up here and having a conversation. 1:19:09.720 --> 1:19:11.880 Thank you so much, thank you, really proud of you guys, 1:19:12.040 --> 1:19:15.599 Thank you so much. It's Steve Stout. It's the Breakfast Club. 1:19:15.640 --> 1:19:22.360 Good morning, yea, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy, 1:19:22.600 --> 1:19:25.400 Angela Year, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:35.839 Let's get to rumous talk fabulous, it's about report Angela 1:19:35.960 --> 1:19:40.240 Yee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so, according to fab 1:19:40.360 --> 1:19:42.880 he was on Rock the Bells Radio and he talked 1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:47.160 about actually being cast on the Sopranos and filming and everything, 1:19:47.560 --> 1:19:49.000 and then he didn't even end up on the show. 1:19:49.080 --> 1:19:51.160 Here's what happened. I would like to tap into some 1:19:51.280 --> 1:19:54.360 acting and and do that as well. I think I 1:19:54.479 --> 1:19:56.160 was trying it when I was a little younger, but 1:19:56.320 --> 1:19:58.240 they used to tell me my face out of baby face, 1:19:58.320 --> 1:20:00.880 and I was like actually losing some roles because I 1:20:01.000 --> 1:20:03.840 wasn't looking old enough to play. I lost a role 1:20:04.439 --> 1:20:06.360 on the Sopranos back in the days, and they just 1:20:06.439 --> 1:20:08.880 said I just looked like I was seventeen eighteen next 1:20:08.920 --> 1:20:11.920 to the today's mob, like you tie your mom, guys, 1:20:11.960 --> 1:20:14.280 and I you know, they ended up using somebody else 1:20:14.360 --> 1:20:16.680 and I shot the shot it and everything, and they 1:20:16.760 --> 1:20:19.680 just like you just looked like a baby compared to them. 1:20:19.880 --> 1:20:21.640 That sucks that you went through all that work and 1:20:21.720 --> 1:20:25.200 then they decide that you just look too young. What 1:20:25.240 --> 1:20:27.280 I'm saying, how old had to be like in his 1:20:27.439 --> 1:20:33.840 early twenties room, Yeah and yeah, maybe late twenties. How 1:20:33.880 --> 1:20:35.880 long goes that? That was like thirteen years ago? There 1:20:35.920 --> 1:20:41.040 was fab dominican or right. I think he's half a half? Yeah, 1:20:41.400 --> 1:20:43.600 I remember. No people were coloring on sopranos like that. 1:20:43.760 --> 1:20:45.880 Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember. I don't recovery. 1:20:46.040 --> 1:20:49.080 Off the top of my head, I can't think of anybody. Now. 1:20:49.800 --> 1:20:52.920 It went black for the last episode, real last episode. 1:20:54.960 --> 1:20:57.920 All right, Now, let's talk about Kareem Hunt. He was 1:20:58.120 --> 1:21:00.160 driving down the freeway in this video for the of 1:21:00.240 --> 1:21:04.240 this that TMZ Sports got, and you know he plays 1:21:04.240 --> 1:21:05.720 for the Cleveland Browns. He's a running back with the 1:21:05.720 --> 1:21:08.880 Cleveland Browns. And he goes past an officer and the 1:21:09.040 --> 1:21:12.720 officer stops him, and the cop gets him out of 1:21:12.720 --> 1:21:16.600 the car, and here's what happens. I've been through a 1:21:16.680 --> 1:21:22.600 lot No, yeah, d yes does man, So you know 1:21:22.640 --> 1:21:26.920 about this stuff, right? Uh? Brother? So I hate to 1:21:26.960 --> 1:21:29.960 say this, but I mean you if anybody should should 1:21:30.080 --> 1:21:32.400 know that, like if you're trying to like stay good, 1:21:32.439 --> 1:21:34.280 stay go in the right path, had stuff this and 1:21:34.600 --> 1:21:37.360 know where to go. Yeah, man, it's not it's not not. 1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:40.320 I mean sorry, here's almost doing the right your traffic ticket. 1:21:40.360 --> 1:21:42.600 Then I'll just sees this stuff like that. I'm like 1:21:42.680 --> 1:21:45.800 one of the hugest Browns fans ever, right, and it's 1:21:45.920 --> 1:21:48.120 hard grating and HARKing Browns every single year. Like this 1:21:48.760 --> 1:21:50.920 the way to do it. Dude, you know what happened 1:21:50.920 --> 1:21:53.719 to me? I should be playing for a freaking super Bowl. 1:21:53.760 --> 1:21:56.040 And so he was pretty emotional a while he was 1:21:56.120 --> 1:21:58.800 talking to this police officer and the cop did let 1:21:58.880 --> 1:22:00.479 him off with just a speeding two get and sent 1:22:00.640 --> 1:22:02.519 him on his way. He took the weed from him, 1:22:03.240 --> 1:22:07.400 But she's that could have went left that office is 1:22:07.439 --> 1:22:09.280 gonna be suspended. I'm sure now because you think so, 1:22:09.560 --> 1:22:12.120 oh yeah, you let somebody go with an open open 1:22:12.160 --> 1:22:15.760 containing a liquor and weed and it's taped. But I 1:22:15.800 --> 1:22:18.439 wonder how that video footage got out. That's what I said. 1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.200 They must have released it. Does the police officer have 1:22:21.360 --> 1:22:24.679 to arrest you? I believe so you know your father's 1:22:24.720 --> 1:22:26.559 a cop, like, they're not obligated to do that. Don't 1:22:26.760 --> 1:22:28.960 Can't they use their judgment and not. My dad's been 1:22:29.000 --> 1:22:31.040 retired for like fifteen to twenty years because he did 1:22:31.120 --> 1:22:33.200 give him a ticket. Still, he just didn't give him. 1:22:33.800 --> 1:22:35.280 I'm not you know what, I'm not sure was there 1:22:35.280 --> 1:22:37.479 anybody else in the call with him. I know he 1:22:37.560 --> 1:22:39.400 was maybe don't let somebody else drive. But the open 1:22:39.400 --> 1:22:43.519 container liquors serious, I would assume maybe that's just a 1:22:43.560 --> 1:22:45.639 ticket in someplace. Maybe I don't know. In some places, 1:22:45.720 --> 1:22:47.679 open container might just be a ticket, all right. Jaden 1:22:47.760 --> 1:22:50.639 Smith is celebrating Tyler the Creators a Grammy win now. 1:22:50.720 --> 1:22:54.160 He posted, my boyfriend just won a Grammy and then 1:22:54.280 --> 1:22:59.080 Tyler responded, Hahi, you are crazy man, and Jaden responded, 1:23:00.040 --> 1:23:02.479 told everyone you can't deny it now. First of all, 1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:06.040 I think Jaden Smith is the Mahatma Gandhi of our generation. 1:23:06.360 --> 1:23:08.080 But that is how you talk to your holes. You know, 1:23:08.120 --> 1:23:10.040 when your holes put you on blasts on social media bla, 1:23:10.120 --> 1:23:13.160 that's my boyfriend, like ha ha, are you crazy? Are 1:23:13.240 --> 1:23:18.559 you wore you crazy? Girl? Like treating Jaden like one 1:23:18.640 --> 1:23:22.439 of the holes all right now, a judge has sentenced 1:23:22.479 --> 1:23:26.280 Gjelanni Mirage in court and Jelanni Mirages Nicki Minaj's brother. 1:23:27.120 --> 1:23:29.360 He was sentenced to twenty five years to life in 1:23:29.479 --> 1:23:32.880 prison following the guilty verdict and his child a rape 1:23:32.920 --> 1:23:36.600 trial so well earned him right. So they said that 1:23:36.720 --> 1:23:39.040 we hope that today's verdict will help the family in 1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:42.320 the healing process. I'm sure that has to be tough 1:23:42.360 --> 1:23:43.960 for the rest of the family to have to deal with, 1:23:44.040 --> 1:23:46.760 and for the family of the young girl. And listen 1:23:46.800 --> 1:23:49.799 to this, Megan Markel and Prince Harry. According to experts 1:23:49.840 --> 1:23:52.960 who actually booked for speaking engagements and book deals, they 1:23:53.040 --> 1:23:56.320 could get five hundred thousand dollars or more each to 1:23:56.439 --> 1:23:58.920 speak in front of people. So it looks like they're 1:23:58.960 --> 1:24:02.600 gonna do okay even after leaving the royal family. How 1:24:02.680 --> 1:24:05.880 much they get for hosting parties though probably about the 1:24:05.960 --> 1:24:11.200 same about ten stacks for they'll definitely getting more than 1:24:11.320 --> 1:24:13.479 ten stacks to host a party. Stop it. He should 1:24:13.520 --> 1:24:15.280 be out here in super Bowl weekend. I'm in Miami. 1:24:15.520 --> 1:24:17.519 We could book them somewhere. Mag It'll get more for 1:24:17.560 --> 1:24:19.680 Prince Harry. Let's get them in the office. We bring 1:24:19.760 --> 1:24:22.000 them the queens, the Queen's Club. We can about ten stacks. 1:24:22.360 --> 1:24:26.160 How old are they they still club age? Yes, so Megan, 1:24:26.240 --> 1:24:28.519 Megan will definitely get more over Prince Harry. Megan'll get 1:24:28.520 --> 1:24:31.479 about you think so fifteen for the walk through? Really? Yeah, 1:24:31.520 --> 1:24:33.800 Prince Prince, you can say I got the Prince walking through? Yeah? 1:24:34.360 --> 1:24:36.519 Follow she got on Instagram. That's a good question. Let 1:24:36.560 --> 1:24:39.120 me let me say we might be jumping out the window. 1:24:39.280 --> 1:24:41.400 You might be pricing or two highs. Let me follow 1:24:41.520 --> 1:24:44.200 his prince. They said if they went into joint speaking appearances, 1:24:44.200 --> 1:24:46.280 they would get about a million dollars each. Man. We 1:24:46.360 --> 1:24:48.080 talk about hosting parties, man, and then if they do 1:24:48.200 --> 1:24:50.280 like a VIP meet and greet, you know how much 1:24:50.280 --> 1:24:52.639 of those mate? How much? And if they have merch? 1:24:52.880 --> 1:24:55.080 I mean follow what she got on Instagram? She has 1:24:55.160 --> 1:24:58.080 four hundred and forty six thousand. I can't give a fifteen. 1:24:58.200 --> 1:25:01.760 I give about five stacks. That's it. Megan Marco gets 1:25:01.800 --> 1:25:04.160 five stacks for the walk through. She got four hundred 1:25:04.160 --> 1:25:05.880 and forty six dollars. But I thought they had a 1:25:05.960 --> 1:25:07.640 four period of time. Get they had to get rid 1:25:07.680 --> 1:25:10.120 of their social media. Are you sure that's her page 1:25:10.400 --> 1:25:12.320 not now? To producer say yeah, no, no, no, they 1:25:12.360 --> 1:25:14.879 had to do it. It's the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 1:25:14.920 --> 1:25:17.160 so it's the at Sussex Royal. That's what they had 1:25:17.160 --> 1:25:19.439 to do. It's eleven point one million, eleven point one 1:25:19.520 --> 1:25:22.320 eleven point one million, So in the UK they'll get 1:25:22.360 --> 1:25:24.240 they can get top dollar for a walk through. Here 1:25:24.280 --> 1:25:26.840 in America five racks if they posted now they posted 1:25:26.920 --> 1:25:29.280 with eleven eleven million, five weeken ten. If you got 1:25:29.360 --> 1:25:31.759 to do it in the UK, I guarantee majority and follows. 1:25:31.800 --> 1:25:34.040 In the UK, you write, you write five racks, five 1:25:34.160 --> 1:25:36.800 racks for the walk through, the walk through, they'll definitely 1:25:36.800 --> 1:25:39.280 come on outside in a bottle for Prince Harry. Damn 1:25:40.479 --> 1:25:42.840 Harry to get a bottle bottle of hooka. We don't 1:25:42.880 --> 1:25:49.000 know who get a hookah for Harry. Yeah, lying, all right, 1:25:49.040 --> 1:25:51.160 well that is your rumor report. I'm an angely year 1:25:51.400 --> 1:25:53.720 all right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, 1:25:53.920 --> 1:25:56.200 we got a couple of birthdays.

So let 1:26:12.840 --> 1:26:14.360 me know your favorite joints from all of them. You 1:26:14.400 --> 1:26:15.880 know what. The mix is short, so it's gonna be 1:26:15.960 --> 1:26:18.160 real fast and shout to the vote. We see them all. 1:26:18.160 --> 1:26:21.879 It's a breakfast club. Ej Envy and Jula Yee, Charlomagne 1:26:21.920 --> 1:26:23.840 the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a 1:26:23.880 --> 1:26:27.320 special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, Mayor of Atlantic City, 1:26:27.439 --> 1:26:31.720 Marty Smalls. Welcome, Sid, what's up, DJ Envy, Charlomagne and 1:26:31.800 --> 1:26:34.720 guy Marty King. Pleasure for me to be here now. 1:26:34.880 --> 1:26:37.360 Now for those people that don't know, you just became 1:26:37.479 --> 1:26:40.240 mayor at the end of two thousand and nineteen. Yes, 1:26:40.360 --> 1:26:45.160 the previous mayor was arrested for wire fraud. Because so 1:26:45.240 --> 1:26:47.120 let's talk about that. How you became the mayor of 1:26:47.200 --> 1:26:50.960 Atlantic City, well by law, um by Act of law. 1:26:51.560 --> 1:26:53.880 I was a city council president for the City of 1:26:53.880 --> 1:26:57.240 Atlantic City, and by statute, if something was to happen 1:26:57.320 --> 1:27:01.320 to the mayor, the city council president ascended the position automatically. 1:27:01.400 --> 1:27:05.840 So around five o'clock October third, I became the fishing mayor, 1:27:06.040 --> 1:27:09.400 were acting mayor of the City of Atlantic City. Then 1:27:09.479 --> 1:27:11.920 the next day we held the private swearing in ceremony 1:27:12.040 --> 1:27:16.400 and then a public press conference to announce me as 1:27:16.439 --> 1:27:19.839 a new mayor. And you know, it's not the traditional 1:27:19.920 --> 1:27:22.360 way to get the seat, but as I always said 1:27:22.479 --> 1:27:25.280 at the same time, it's an incredible opportunity. So then 1:27:25.320 --> 1:27:27.880 there was a couple more hurdles. We got support from 1:27:27.880 --> 1:27:31.400 the Atlantic City Democratic Committee thirty three to nothing, and 1:27:31.920 --> 1:27:33.640 that was the next step. And then it went to 1:27:33.760 --> 1:27:37.240 city council, who by unanimous vote selected me, and on 1:27:37.320 --> 1:27:40.519 October fifteenth, the acting title was removed and I'm to 1:27:40.680 --> 1:27:44.320 serve to the special election coming up in June, and 1:27:44.479 --> 1:27:46.439 then that will be for the balance of his term, 1:27:46.880 --> 1:27:49.800 and then next year is the full four year term. 1:27:50.240 --> 1:27:51.800 What did you think of him as a mayor before 1:27:51.880 --> 1:27:54.080 that situation? Now, but they say he sold eighty seven 1:27:54.120 --> 1:27:56.920 grand or something like that from a youth basketball team. Yeah, 1:27:56.920 --> 1:27:59.960 I mean, that's that's that's unfortunate. And I always stay 1:28:00.000 --> 1:28:03.280 above the fray and I wanted to let the legal 1:28:03.400 --> 1:28:07.040 process play out. As I stated oftentimes that was between 1:28:07.120 --> 1:28:10.759 him and the FBI and the world. So the final results, 1:28:10.800 --> 1:28:13.160 I mean, you know, it's his situation. I'm not going 1:28:13.200 --> 1:28:16.120 to kick the man while he's down, but I can 1:28:16.200 --> 1:28:18.040 only say that I'm ready to take Atlantic City to 1:28:18.120 --> 1:28:21.400 the next level and various levels. And with that, you know, 1:28:21.479 --> 1:28:24.120 Atlantic City's a gold minded people. And like I was 1:28:24.200 --> 1:28:28.839 telling Envy, we're fighting this change of government where retired 1:28:28.960 --> 1:28:34.000 North Jersey Senator Ray Lesniett, billionaire casino owner, Resorts Local 1:28:34.080 --> 1:28:38.040 fifty four, Bob mcdevin, who's the head of the casino unions, 1:28:38.080 --> 1:28:41.840 they are conspiring to overturn the City of Atlantic City's 1:28:41.880 --> 1:28:45.400 government because they can't control who's in charge. I've always 1:28:45.439 --> 1:28:47.800 been one that's been purely for the people, not for 1:28:47.880 --> 1:28:50.000 the problem brokers, and I'm always going to do its 1:28:50.040 --> 1:28:52.479 best for the City of Atlantic City. So they had 1:28:52.520 --> 1:28:56.400 a petition. We believe that the petition was defective. How 1:28:56.439 --> 1:29:00.840 they got the signatures. They played on people's motion When 1:29:00.880 --> 1:29:03.200 we had a spree of three murders in ten days, 1:29:03.240 --> 1:29:06.160 with two females getting killed. They said, if you want 1:29:06.160 --> 1:29:09.400 to stop Violet, sign this. When the Section natelist came out, 1:29:09.479 --> 1:29:11.560 if you want to get on a Section natelist, sign this. 1:29:11.720 --> 1:29:14.240 So it looks like we're headed for a battle on 1:29:14.400 --> 1:29:17.000 March thirty first to change the form of government, and 1:29:17.040 --> 1:29:19.479 we're just telling people to vote no. And if this 1:29:19.560 --> 1:29:21.760 can happen in Atlantic City, it can happen in any town. 1:29:22.040 --> 1:29:23.320 What did they trying to do with Atlantic City? They 1:29:23.360 --> 1:29:25.080 trying to control Atlantic City. So they see what they 1:29:25.080 --> 1:29:27.680 want to do with the casinos, the casinos, everything is 1:29:27.720 --> 1:29:30.400 tied to North Jersey casinos. And we already had an 1:29:30.400 --> 1:29:35.160 overwhelming referendum where the voters about eighty six percent rejected 1:29:35.400 --> 1:29:38.519 casinos in the North. So you question, why would someone 1:29:38.600 --> 1:29:41.519 from Elizabeth, New Jersey be interested in saying we need 1:29:41.600 --> 1:29:44.799 a better government for Atlantic City. So if the yes prevails, 1:29:44.920 --> 1:29:47.920 all ten elected officials, the nine council people, and myself 1:29:48.320 --> 1:29:52.000 are immediately gone. And who who would run Atlantic City? 1:29:52.000 --> 1:29:55.160 How it was all white people? Yes, it's it's definitely racist. 1:29:55.360 --> 1:29:58.880 And people that know me know that I speak my mind. 1:29:59.120 --> 1:30:01.840 This couldn't happen in any other town, Like I said, 1:30:02.000 --> 1:30:04.400 the state of New Jersey and the money that goes 1:30:04.800 --> 1:30:07.200 out of the city of Atlantic City to the tune 1:30:07.200 --> 1:30:09.400 of one hundred and fifty four point five million dollars 1:30:09.479 --> 1:30:12.439 that the residents of Atlantic City don't see. So all 1:30:12.479 --> 1:30:15.240 of those amenities and things that you get. So Charlottagne, 1:30:15.520 --> 1:30:18.240 you come to Atlantic City tomorrow right, and you stay 1:30:18.320 --> 1:30:22.400 to Monday. You stay at pick a casin a hard rock. 1:30:23.439 --> 1:30:26.760 You park your car, that's parking tax. You check into 1:30:26.840 --> 1:30:30.200 the room, that's hotel tax. You say I'm going to 1:30:30.280 --> 1:30:33.200 a concert that night, or buy a drink, that's that's 1:30:33.240 --> 1:30:36.599 the luxury tax. After the game, after the concert, you say, look, 1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:39.759 it's a West Coast basketball game. One, that's sports betting. 1:30:40.240 --> 1:30:42.720 When you do that three days in a row, the 1:30:42.880 --> 1:30:46.479 city of Atlantic City doesn't get a penny where the 1:30:46.560 --> 1:30:48.320 money goes to the State of New Jersey. And they 1:30:48.400 --> 1:30:53.479 wonder why because our casino industry in two thousand, fourteen 1:30:53.720 --> 1:30:57.160 five casinos, clothes and over ten thousand people lost jobs. 1:30:57.200 --> 1:30:59.680 And as they say, so goes Atlantic City, so goes 1:30:59.720 --> 1:31:02.000 to and so goes to state. When we were the 1:31:02.080 --> 1:31:05.080 Golden Goose, when we delivered five point two billion in 1:31:05.120 --> 1:31:09.000 casino revenue in two thousand and six. Everybody loved Atlantic City. 1:31:09.080 --> 1:31:12.120 Money was flowing, but all of a setment we had 1:31:12.120 --> 1:31:15.720 an economic downturn. Nobody's uh, you know, exempt from that. 1:31:16.120 --> 1:31:18.880 That's that's the country, that's the world. So all that 1:31:19.000 --> 1:31:21.000 money that comes into Atlantic City, the residents of Atlantic 1:31:21.040 --> 1:31:22.960 City gets none of that. They don't have to build 1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:26.759 nothing up the schools zero. We have no additional revenue streams. 1:31:26.760 --> 1:31:29.280 And that's why that's crazy. That's why Atlantic City looked 1:31:29.320 --> 1:31:31.920 like that outside of the casino area. Well, and you know, 1:31:32.000 --> 1:31:34.559 we're trying to change that. And that's why I'm here 1:31:34.600 --> 1:31:37.360 to data let everyone know that, um there is a 1:31:37.439 --> 1:31:40.680 beautiful city. There's some strong, resilient people. We're going to 1:31:40.720 --> 1:31:42.679 defeat this change of government and I'm going to carry 1:31:42.680 --> 1:31:45.360 out my my mission and vision to make the city 1:31:45.400 --> 1:31:47.720 of Atlantic City all that they can be by diversifying 1:31:48.439 --> 1:31:51.479 our offerings behind casino gaming. I mean, we have to 1:31:51.560 --> 1:31:54.280 do different things. We have to get housing. That's why 1:31:54.840 --> 1:31:57.639 you know, you know we bought you season everybody else. 1:31:57.680 --> 1:32:00.400 We're trying to leverage our relationships so that way we 1:32:00.439 --> 1:32:03.160 can rebuild our Raidibole base and becomes self sufficient and 1:32:03.280 --> 1:32:05.640 not rely on state funded and anything else. We are 1:32:05.720 --> 1:32:08.160 open for entertainment too, It's wide open. We are going 1:32:08.240 --> 1:32:10.880 to have an urban festival on the beach called Wave 1:32:11.000 --> 1:32:15.120 twenty twenty. I'm claiming it now. We're gonna have DJ 1:32:15.400 --> 1:32:20.600 Envy's car show, this ship or else. And and you know, 1:32:20.760 --> 1:32:24.160 the rumors of Atlantic City demise is greatly exaggerated. And 1:32:24.760 --> 1:32:27.640 you know our plan to lead the charge, bring like 1:32:27.840 --> 1:32:30.040 minded people to the city of Atlantic City and kind 1:32:30.040 --> 1:32:32.280 of change the climbing and the culture as we're doing 1:32:32.320 --> 1:32:35.280 in city Hall. And speaking of Shaquille O'Neil, he partnered 1:32:35.280 --> 1:32:38.799 with Borai on a two hundred and fifty luxury apartment 1:32:38.920 --> 1:32:41.599 unit in Atlantic City and it's eighty five percent sold 1:32:41.640 --> 1:32:44.080 out and it's not even a year plan.
