Speaker 3: That's not using a word, that's you're not here like that.
Speaker 4: Well, listen is the thing.
Speaker 3: If you know what I'm saying, why are you dumping it?
Speaker 3: Because you know I'm not a radio twenty six years.
Speaker 3: You know I'm not saying sugar honey, icy. Just think
Speaker 3: about how I'm not.
Speaker 2: Saying dump it every morning. You do it every morning.
Speaker 4: Stop dumping it, stop doing, not saying it. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's what you're dumbing it. It's a
Speaker 4: waste of a dump.
Speaker 8: White ears here differently Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, my bed.
Speaker 3: Probably because he's influenced by Addie, who's our executive producer
Speaker 3: and Eagles fans.
Speaker 4: Stop listening to Eddie.
Speaker 3: Okay, how about that, because I'm not saying that that
Speaker 3: sugar honey, I.
Speaker 2: Word, you know that.
Speaker 6: Goodness, Let's get the show cracking. We got front page
Speaker 6: news when we come back. Trump is deporting more people
Speaker 6: at an alarming rate.
Speaker 4: This is this is crazy.
Speaker 3: We don't know if it's alarming yet because we don't
Speaker 3: know if these are criminals not there, if they're illegal
Speaker 3: and they're committing crimes, yes, if they're not, then it's alarming.
Speaker 2: All right, Well we'll get to that next. It don't
Speaker 2: go anywhere. It's to breakfast Club. Go Morning.
Speaker 6: Everybody is dj n V, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the God.

Speaker 6: Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Morgan, Hey, good morning, good morning, dj MV,
Speaker 8: Charlamagne God and Jess hilarious.
Speaker 9: Y'all.
Speaker 8: All right, yes, all right, well let's get into it. Okay,
Speaker 8: So listen, President Trump. He's joining House Republicans in Miami
Speaker 8: this week for the GOP January Retreat. The event started
Speaker 8: yesterday afternoon at the Trump National Doral Golf Club and
Speaker 8: runs through tomorrow. Wednesday, President Trump joined House Speaker Mike
Speaker 8: Johnson for a dinner and reception on Monday evening around
Speaker 8: seven pm, where the President addressed the House Republicans' Annual
Speaker 8: Policy Retreat on various topics like his first week in
Speaker 8: office recognizing only the male and female genders, his rollback
Speaker 8: of diversity equity inclusion initiatives, and the we weaponization of government.
Speaker 10: Let's hear more from President Trump.
Speaker 11: Past seven days, my administration has been moving with urgency
Speaker 11: and historic speed to reverse every single disaster of the
Speaker 11: Biden administration.
Speaker 12: By the way, the guy was a disaster. Okay.
Speaker 11: You know, we want to be nice all of the
Speaker 11: lawless diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense policies across the government
Speaker 11: and all across.
Speaker 2: The private sector and the military.
Speaker 11: And I also signed an order to end the weaponization
Speaker 11: of our government against the American people and investigate all
Speaker 11: abuses of power.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So he also spoke about the Paris Accord, and you know,
Speaker 8: retreating from that, he touted his team's work, saying since
Speaker 8: taking office, including he has raised a lot of money
Speaker 8: for the next election that he assumes he can't use
Speaker 8: for himself. He credited his success during the twenty twenty
Speaker 8: four election to TikTok, saying he became a little more
Speaker 8: jaded towards the app but we'll now see what happens.
Speaker 8: He also mocked the idea, of course, of multiple genders,
Speaker 8: as you heard in the audio. Well earlier in the audio,
Speaker 8: he will say something like people like having seven genders,
Speaker 8: and he made sure that there were only two genders
Speaker 8: to recognize, male and female, and you know, jokingly saying,
Speaker 8: oh wow, that was a tough one and saying, you know,
Speaker 8: of course they've got some weird stuff going on.
Speaker 10: So Trump is just not in favor of any of that.
Speaker 8: And he also turned his attention to immigration, where he
Speaker 8: said the country is moving forward very fast in regards
Speaker 8: to what's happening with immigration reformant. I'm sure you guys
Speaker 8: talked about it. We've talked about it all week with
Speaker 8: those ice round Upsot.
Speaker 2: Quick question, just to clear, Just to be clear.
Speaker 6: So I know six months ago, if you didn't use
Speaker 6: the proper terms to identify agenda, you could be called
Speaker 6: to human resources and.
Speaker 2: You could be fired. Right, So now those terms out
Speaker 2: the window.
Speaker 4: We still think that you identify as a woman. So
Speaker 4: it's okay, I'm a.
Speaker 10: Bit because he is in executive order.
Speaker 2: What happens to a right and just ask a real question.
Speaker 4: Yeah to you.
Speaker 8: Because he issued an executive order, it does not make
Speaker 8: it absolute law, but it does change his things. It
Speaker 8: does change the scope of things. So if you are
Speaker 8: working in federal government, then that is true. I mean
Speaker 8: you're probably going to have to heed to those rules
Speaker 8: sooner than someone who's in the private sector.
Speaker 3: Guys, what does that mean If a transwoman says something
Speaker 3: to me, I say, I got respond sir, or like,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about?
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, if you're in the private sector, you should
Speaker 8: probably still say ma'am. But if you're in the federal sector,
Speaker 8: then you know it's going to be probably case by
Speaker 8: case and they will probably deal with that.
Speaker 2: So you just miss identified man. You call me a
Speaker 2: woman and a man, So you miss.
Speaker 4: I called you a bitch, A total different.
Speaker 8: All right, yes, but later today how Speaker Mike Johnson
Speaker 8: and committee chairs will continue UH conducting breakout sessions as
Speaker 8: Republicans look to package the Trump administration's top priorities and
Speaker 8: one single bill that covers UH, immigration, energy and all
Speaker 8: the things.
Speaker 10: You know, Trump just wants one single bill.
Speaker 8: But yesterday, Speaker Johnson addressed House GOP members ahead of
Speaker 8: President Trump, saying he feels like the US is entering
Speaker 8: a new era of government. He also expects the US
Speaker 8: to handle deportation flight negotiations how they did over the
Speaker 8: weekend with Columbia.
Speaker 5: I'll get into that more, but let's hear from Speaker Johnson.
Speaker 13: When the President says he wants to make the government
Speaker 13: more efficient and effective, and we say we want to
Speaker 13: limit the size and scope of government, it means that
Speaker 13: everything is on the table for reevaluation. President Trump will
Speaker 13: you've seen he will have a heavy hand, and we
Speaker 13: will support him on that regardless of who stands up
Speaker 13: against it.
Speaker 8: So, in case you missed it, Columbia is sending two
Speaker 8: government planes to pick up migrants who were set to
Speaker 8: take military flights originally. Now there were some planes rejected
Speaker 8: in Columbia and Mexico with migrants on it, and yeah, Trump,
Speaker 8: he was real in his heads, he was like, oh nah.
Speaker 8: So basically this comes after the Columbia government and President
Speaker 8: Trump have agreed to terms to after threatening tariffs. In
Speaker 8: a statement of the White House said that the country agreed
Speaker 8: to terms that include the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal
Speaker 8: aliens from Columbia returned from the United States. The statement
Speaker 8: also said that drafted actions on tariffs and sanctions would
Speaker 8: be held in reserve and not signed unless Columbia fails
Speaker 8: to honor this agreement. Now, Trump threatened retaliatory measures after
Speaker 8: Columbia first denied entry to those pair of US military
Speaker 8: deportation flights tru started.
Speaker 3: He started a trade war on day six, he sure did,
Speaker 3: and one though he did win it back down.
Speaker 8: He moving those migrants out and making sure that when
Speaker 8: they land they can land.
Speaker 10: So that's a whole thing.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, the interesting thing about this just
Speaker 3: remember everything Trump is doing, America gave him the power
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: He was voted in as president and he has full
Speaker 3: control of government, all three branches of government. So everything
Speaker 3: he's doing, he pretty much has a constitutional right to do.
Speaker 8: Yes and If not, then you know it's a matter
Speaker 8: of precedent and figuring it out through the courts and
Speaker 8: all of these things. And by the time you probably
Speaker 8: get to an answer, well, his presidency may be over.
Speaker 10: So you know how the courts moved.
Speaker 3: Yesterday at that House Republican's annual policy retreat, he was
Speaker 3: talking about a third term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard him say something about that.
Speaker 3: And you know, that's something we was talking about in
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. If you got back in twenty twenty, you
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't leave.
Speaker 4: And he didn't try to leave in twenty twenty. It's
Speaker 4: not like he just walked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Foster insurrection on January.
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm just saying that, you know, four
Speaker 3: years around, I don't just jump out the window and
Speaker 3: say he's gonna just walk out.
Speaker 8: No, I don't, right, we should, we should, We should
Speaker 8: take his jokes for real, real face volume. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 8: So that's your front face news for six am. At
Speaker 8: seven am, worl con sindue you to talk about, uh,
Speaker 8: the legislative session, immigration raids across the country, and UH
Speaker 8: and more.
Speaker 6: All right, and shout and salute to everybody out in
Speaker 6: La We're still praying for you. I know you recently
Speaker 6: had the mud slides. But I heard this morning on

Speaker 6: the daylight hours, they can actually go to whatever is
Speaker 6: left of their house, so they can go and see

Speaker 8: of Diddy I du premier yesterday yesterday last night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so the first of all I text y'all too.
Speaker 7: Nobody watched it?
Speaker 4: No, nope, alrighty, there's already seven of them.
Speaker 7: All right, we are here now. So Downfall of Diddy
Speaker 7: premiere on I D channel last night. It's a multi
Speaker 7: part series that is like a docu series. First two
Speaker 7: episodes drops, so they get into a ton of stuff.
Speaker 7: So the first episode kind of sets up like what
Speaker 7: created this monster that they are trying to allege that
Speaker 7: Puff is so they open it with a makeup artists
Speaker 7: that used to work for Diddy and Cassie, and she
Speaker 7: details the first time she saw She alleges she saw
Speaker 7: a Puff put his hands on Cassie. Let's listen.
Speaker 25: Puff and Cassie were dating. There was a party and
Speaker 25: she was staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I fall
Speaker 25: asleep in the couch because I don't go out, and
Speaker 25: he storms in.
Speaker 3: Where the is she?
Speaker 5: I like wake up all of a sudden, like like who.
Speaker 25: And then they go into the room, shuts the door.
Speaker 25: All O hear is get the out of here, Get
Speaker 25: the out of here. He's like on a rage. He's
Speaker 25: being Puff. I'm packing her stuff up. Once he leaves,
Speaker 25: I see the aftermath on Cassie. She has knots on
Speaker 25: her head, bruised eye, busted lip. It was horrific. And
Speaker 25: so all I can think of was we need to
Speaker 25: get back to my house. You need to get them
Speaker 25: out of here. We can't call the police, we can't
Speaker 25: go to the hospital. We're scared of Puff.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And those were like her accounsel, that makeup artist.
Speaker 7: She's speaking in the dock, But there were other accounts
Speaker 7: in different filings, and when that Cassie video came out,
Speaker 7: Remember there was like the former security guard who came
Speaker 7: out and said he allegedly saw like Puff in Cassie.
Speaker 7: Don Richards also recollected some things when she came out
Speaker 7: with her filing as well too, So they reiterated that
Speaker 7: a lot in the dock. But they also talked a
Speaker 7: lot about Puff's upbringing, upbringing and his mom and how
Speaker 7: he was raised, trying to, I guess, make the point
Speaker 7: of this is how he ended up where he is now.
Speaker 7: Let's take a listen to Diddy's childhood friend.
Speaker 9: At an early age, it was instilled in him that
Speaker 9: he can't be seen this week, and the only way
Speaker 9: to respond to weakness or this idea that you're being
Speaker 9: perceived this week is to respond with force.
Speaker 10: My mother was, I guess, raising me for the real world.
Speaker 10: She's always told me if somebody had made made sure,
Speaker 10: and I'm back harder, make sure they never had me again.
Speaker 7: Make sure Mom's made sure.
Speaker 5: Listen, don't come here talking about you got beat up.
Speaker 2: Don't come here talking about somebody took something from you.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear none of that. Go get it.
Speaker 4: Back.
Speaker 2: You can't come in my house until it's right.
Speaker 4: So you had to make a choice.
Speaker 2: He had to man up. So I'm gonna make more
Speaker 2: than you. I'm gonna do more you. I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: more successful than you. So I could call the shots.
Speaker 4: I know, like boy, I wouldn't talk about.
Speaker 2: I think most like you hit him back.
Speaker 26: Wrong.
Speaker 7: They talked a lot in the doctor about like in
Speaker 7: this part about how his mom, you know, like I
Speaker 7: don't know how y'all parents raise y'all, But like, don't
Speaker 7: come back on somebody. Don't come back home if you
Speaker 7: ain't win that fight, like that type of mind.
Speaker 5: Don't come back home because it's my house.
Speaker 2: But yeah I can. You're gonna fight them, Yeah, like
Speaker 2: MO had me like, no, you can go.
Speaker 5: Back until you beat him.
Speaker 2: Don't run from a fight. But if you lose, you lose,
Speaker 2: you get back up. But yeah, you don't run from
Speaker 2: a fight.
Speaker 4: Yeah you don't fight women. But exactly what I women.
Speaker 10: I said that to say that people off of the balconies,
Speaker 10: the guys.
Speaker 7: I'm saying that to say that they like they're trying
Speaker 7: to pay him as this like violent like person who
Speaker 7: doesn't understand when to stop and I think that the
Speaker 7: reason why they brought this up, even though they don't
Speaker 7: say his mom told him to do that with women,
Speaker 7: is because they're beginning to paint this picture that they
Speaker 7: go into a lot in part two about how because
Speaker 7: of who he grew to be, like the big icon,
Speaker 7: the big you know what I mean, he just never
Speaker 7: knew when to stop. He got these Allegedly, he would
Speaker 7: get in these rages and that's when things would happen.
Speaker 7: Power power, a lot of power. So another thing they
Speaker 7: talked about too, was and this was after he had
Speaker 7: become like Puff, his stars growing. He has some money now,
Speaker 7: him and me SA Hilton had some issues that people
Speaker 7: recollecting his doctor. Let's say listen.
Speaker 27: One night, Puffy decided that he didn't want me, said
Speaker 27: Hilton to go out. He got into this rage and
Speaker 27: she screamed and her prayers came out. He just grabbed
Speaker 27: the baby and it says, you're not you're not getting
Speaker 27: this baby, You're not having him. The father tried to
Speaker 27: talk to him, and he didn't like being talked to.
Speaker 27: The grandmother tried to talk to him and everything. Eventually
Speaker 27: they had to call the police. We said, Hilton, they
Speaker 27: have felt that something was really happening that she had
Speaker 27: no control over.
Speaker 2: This is her life.
Speaker 27: He was using the baby to controller that I think
Speaker 27: scared her a lot. He was just angry and upset.
Speaker 27: He made treads, you know, he was arrested. She was
Speaker 27: one of the few people who got to understand that
Speaker 27: type of age, who he was. There was a monster
Speaker 27: that came out of him that nobody knew about.
Speaker 7: And I think that too for a lot of people.
Speaker 7: When I lose that, I forget the guy's name, but
Speaker 7: it was like a person that was around them for
Speaker 7: some years. Like this guy he's he's when you watch
Speaker 7: the doc, he's a guy with dress. I'll go back
Speaker 7: in his name for you. But he's in both parts
Speaker 7: of the docks and he was from the time when
Speaker 7: Diddy was coming up to first deal with with uptime
Speaker 7: records to everything. So he's in a doc a lot.
Speaker 7: But a big part of the conversation I saw when
Speaker 7: this part was happening was that Misa Hillton. You know,
Speaker 7: during all the time when when the conversations first started
Speaker 7: around Puff, she was online and she was recollecting a
Speaker 7: lot of you know, her times with him and raising
Speaker 7: kids with him, and you know she had asked the
Speaker 7: question at one point in time when she posted this
Speaker 7: stuff like were you not entertained? And I think a
Speaker 7: lot of people were saying that, you know, whether this
Speaker 7: happened or not, the conversation has always been the women
Speaker 7: that he's had kids with, what have they had to
Speaker 7: deal with and how do they deal with that? And
Speaker 7: people were basically saying like they feel feel bad for
Speaker 7: her because she had to deal with so much so early,
Speaker 7: because they were so young.
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, I don't know what true it was,
Speaker 3: not just I know Diddy isn't getting any benefit of
Speaker 3: the doubt when it comes to putting hands on women
Speaker 3: because of the video we saw in the hotel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I also wonder, like, I mean, these people
Speaker 6: are telling these other people's stories, I wonder how they feel, right,
Speaker 6: I wonder if Mysa wanted to tell her own story,
Speaker 6: if she wanted this out.
Speaker 2: However, she would have even Cassie, if Cassie wanted her
Speaker 2: stories out. It's always hard to hear other people tell
Speaker 2: the people's story.
Speaker 4: Not if that person was a witness, if that person
Speaker 4: with a witness's story too.
Speaker 7: If it's true, Yeah, I think too, because I know
Speaker 7: when Mysa was posting stuff online.
Speaker 8: It could have been a thing if Shane want to
Speaker 8: be in the documentary, but she, you know, gave it.
Speaker 8: You can talk about this situation that you was there
Speaker 8: for whatever.
Speaker 2: Maybe they want to hear it because they want to
Speaker 2: be traumatized.
Speaker 7: The guy's name is Peter Nowell. He's an investigative journalist.
Speaker 7: That's who was talking about Lisa. But he's he's used
Speaker 7: a lot in the dock along with other journalists because
Speaker 7: these are journalists that were like around and like reporting
Speaker 7: on these things. And there was like a nine to
Speaker 7: one one call that he talked about with Misa when
Speaker 7: she actually had to call the police in that situation.
Speaker 7: So he details all of that. But I was going
Speaker 7: to say, to your point, Jess, when Misa was posting
Speaker 7: all that stuff on Instagram, it was seeming to me
Speaker 7: as if she wanted to tell her own side of
Speaker 7: things the way she wanted it to be told. But
Speaker 7: she's never been a part of any of these docks,
Speaker 7: and I don't think that we'll ever see her do that.
Speaker 4: I know one thing.
Speaker 3: All these documentaries are going to absolutely impact Diddy's try
Speaker 3: I refuse to believe that a juror won't be worried
Speaker 3: about what they hear in the court of public opinion.
Speaker 3: With all of these stories, it's nineteen documentaries out.
Speaker 6: Like you said, they're gonna see wonderfulm You're gonna see
Speaker 6: he's snipping of it. You're gonna see a little bit
Speaker 6: of it online.
Speaker 3: You're gonna see fifty cent Instagram something. You're gonna see something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, something, Yeah, welcome there, Lauren.
Speaker 7: There's two parts, and I think there's a few more coming.
Speaker 2: So, And this is not the fifty cent documentary.
Speaker 7: Correct, No, no, no, this isn't no, this is the
Speaker 7: I dtail. There's a lot of.
Speaker 4: Channel you know, it's not fifty documentary because no male
Speaker 4: victims in it.
Speaker 7: Right, I have not heard from a male victor a
Speaker 7: lot of.
Speaker 4: Butt touching the fifties documentary.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now, when fifty do his his
Speaker 3: Diddy documentary, it's gonna be a lot of male victims.
Speaker 4: I'm letting you know that right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, well, thank you.
Speaker 4: I heard he was gonna name it. I heard Puffy
Speaker 4: touch you butt, but that's too long the title. That's crazy.
Speaker 4: I heard Puffy touched you butt that's what fifty was
Speaker 4: gonna name it.
Speaker 7: Oh you haven't heard that.
Speaker 4: I got sources to Lauren.
Speaker 2: You got the butt, buddy, can pose.
Speaker 4: It right, That's right, I do butts. That's why I
Speaker 4: get that kind of all.
Speaker 6: Right, thank you for Jess with the mess. Now when
Speaker 6: we come back, we got front page news. It don't
Speaker 6: go Anywhere's the breakfast club. Good morning, wake up?
Speaker 2: Way cool if you're like to end to the breakfast club.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 6: Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamage the guy.
Speaker 2: We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front
Speaker 2: page news.
Speaker 4: Good morning, good.
Speaker 10: Morning, en V, Charlemagne and Jess.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, so let's get in to it.
Speaker 8: Immigration raids, as you guys have mentioned, we've all been
Speaker 8: talking about it, there are taking place all around the country.
Speaker 8: The Trump administration has launched a social media thread showcasing
Speaker 8: what it calls quote the worst criminals arrested by Immigration
Speaker 8: and Customs enforcement since the president's inauguration. The White House
Speaker 8: and ex thread reads that President Trump's leadership ICE agents
Speaker 8: are working tirelessly to protect our communities. ICE reported more
Speaker 8: than nine hundred and fifty people were arrested nationwide just
Speaker 8: yesterday alone. The agency also said it has started what
Speaker 8: is called target it's calling targeted operations in Chicago's So
Speaker 8: Chicago look Out. Florida lawmakers are meeting still meeting in
Speaker 8: committees today after calling their own special session to deal
Speaker 8: with immigration policies aligned with President Trump. Senate President Ben
Speaker 8: al Britton says he doesn't support Florida Governor Ron Desantus'
Speaker 8: proposal to create criminal penalties against law enforcement. Let's hear
Speaker 8: from Senate President Florida, Senate President Alt Britain.
Speaker 26: President Trump clearly has a situation under control and is
Speaker 26: leading from the Oval office. I want to be careful
Speaker 26: that we don't do anything to undermine President Trump's very
Speaker 26: good plan.
Speaker 2: I won't stand for that.
Speaker 26: I want criminal illegal immigrants to be deported efficiently and effectively,
Speaker 26: and the best way to do that is to follow
Speaker 26: the leadership of President Trump.
Speaker 8: So Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez entered the chat, and
Speaker 8: he called for the governor's block proclamation too narrow and
Speaker 8: saying his many of his policies, our proposals are bureaucratic.
Speaker 8: Now he's calling on a second special session to deal
Speaker 8: with the proposed immigration policy. Let's hear from Florida House
Speaker 8: Speaker Daniel Perez.
Speaker 20: We do not need to duplicate the functions of US
Speaker 20: immigration and customs and create a minim version of ice.
Speaker 4: We have chosen to designate the Commissioner.
Speaker 20: Of Agriculture to serve as the state's chief immigration officer.
Speaker 20: We'll create more badges, detain more bad guys, and provide
Speaker 20: more beds.
Speaker 8: So, as mentioned in that audio, both the House and
Speaker 8: Senate have agreed that the Agriculture Commissioner, who is Wilton
Speaker 8: Simpson in Florida, will be the state's chief immigration officer.
Speaker 8: I find that to be a little morbid, a little weird,
Speaker 8: but you know, agriculture commissioner, chief immigration officer. Yes, so
Speaker 8: that's happening in Florida. Meanwhile, in elsewhere and politics, President
Speaker 8: Trump signed three executive orders yesterday to aim to reshape
Speaker 8: the nation's military.
Speaker 5: That's according to multiple reports.
Speaker 8: One of those orders will reportedly include reinstating service members
Speaker 8: with backpay for those who were discharged for refusing to
Speaker 8: take the COVID nineteen vaccine. Another will ban transgender service
Speaker 8: members from serving in the US arm for Forces, while
Speaker 8: third will ban any adverse diversity related programs in the military.
Speaker 5: No DEI in the military anymore so.
Speaker 8: Trump first banned transgender Americans from serving in armed forces
Speaker 8: back in twenty seventeen during his first administration and will
Speaker 8: undo former President Biden's repeal that was issued in twenty
Speaker 8: twenty one to combat that twenty seventeen. Elsewhere, Senator Lindsay Graham,
Speaker 8: he's talking about the January six ers and Trump's pardon
Speaker 8: of them.
Speaker 5: He says he doesn't approve of President.
Speaker 8: Trump's decisions to pardon those who participated in the January
Speaker 8: sixth riot. The South Carolina Republican told seen in State
Speaker 8: of the Union over the weekend. He's a firm backer
Speaker 8: of the president, but he doesn't think it's acceptable to
Speaker 8: pardon criminals who assaulted police officers.
Speaker 10: Let's hear more from Lindsay Graham.
Speaker 2: I don't like this.
Speaker 10: I don't like it on either side, and I think
Speaker 10: the public doesn't like it either.
Speaker 24: I've always said that I think when you pardon people
Speaker 24: who attack police officers, you're sending the wrong signal to
Speaker 24: the public at large.
Speaker 4: If this continues, if this is the.
Speaker 8: Norm, then maybe an fit to ring and the pardon
Speaker 8: power of the president as an institution.
Speaker 10: Rain and the pardon power of the president.
Speaker 8: He went on to criticized former president Fighting for pardoning
Speaker 8: his son Hunter and commuting the sentence of Leonard Heltier,
Speaker 8: who was convicted of killing two FBI agents in nineteen
Speaker 8: seventy five. So, yeah, these are things we'll continue to
Speaker 8: watch and see as we as our nation shapes up.
Speaker 11: Why how you do that?
Speaker 3: Don't wonder how you reeling the pardon powers of the president,
Speaker 3: because you know, like I was saying earlier, like you know,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump literally is doing everything that he has the
Speaker 3: power to do, Like these things aren't illegal.
Speaker 4: He's the president of the United States.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but do you lima the amount of people he
Speaker 6: can pardon, because I've never seen like, usually you hear
Speaker 6: when the president leaves he pardons a couple of people,
Speaker 6: usually hear about it. But I've never heard anything like this,
Speaker 6: Like it just seems like they just part of anybody
Speaker 6: for anything.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if it's about the limit. I
Speaker 3: just think it's about I think things should be on
Speaker 3: a case by case basis. Who yeah exactly who?
Speaker 2: Like who? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 8: Well, Okay, bringing things home to you guys, in New York.
Speaker 8: New York City City Mayor Eric Adams he won't appear
Speaker 8: in federal court tomorrow. Adams's schedule to have a federal
Speaker 8: court appearance, and it's been waived as the mayor reportedly
Speaker 8: undergoes several doctor's appointments. A spokesman for the mayor says
Speaker 8: Adams hasn't been feeling well in recent days and is
Speaker 8: undergoing numerous medical tests and doctors appointments. This week, he
Speaker 8: has canceled nearly all of his public appearances, including his
Speaker 8: weekly scheduled news conference with reporters. Now that has Public
Speaker 8: Advocate Jumaine Williams concern because under law, he'd take over
Speaker 8: for Adams if Adams could not perform his duties. But
Speaker 8: he hasn't heard anything from the mayor's staff. Let's hear
Speaker 8: quickly from Public Advocate Jumaine Williams.
Speaker 27: I would say, just in the terms of providing confidence
Speaker 27: for New York City, that might be better to have
Speaker 27: that communication.
Speaker 8: So he says, you know, you know right now, I
Speaker 8: want to make sure we're portraying as much confidence as
Speaker 8: possible in city government.
Speaker 5: I would say if it.
Speaker 8: Was me, I think the communication would be a little better,
Speaker 8: just to make sure we're pushing that confidence. But again,
Speaker 8: they can handle this, you know, a supervisor to handle
Speaker 8: how best they can and make sure that they are
Speaker 8: portraying that we are all.
Speaker 10: Wishing for the mayor to be well as soon as possible.
Speaker 8: So this this is interesting because this brings about the
Speaker 8: question of transparency and government. You know, City Hall isn't
Speaker 8: explaining what's going on with Mayor Adams other than the
Speaker 8: fact that he's just not feeling his best.
Speaker 10: Do you think that?
Speaker 8: Do you think that the public officials and depending on
Speaker 8: what capacity they are in, do you think they should
Speaker 8: be transparent in terms of their health issues.
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially if the prevents them from doing that, y'all.
Speaker 6: I absolutely positively think so. Yeah, especially if they're missing
Speaker 6: events and missing appearances.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely So.
Speaker 8: The mayor's team is reassuring the public that Adams is
Speaker 8: in constant communication with his staff to ensure city business continues.
Speaker 8: But that also concerns me because the dude who the
Speaker 8: backup has already come out to say I ain't heard
Speaker 8: from him. So just to give you guys a heads
Speaker 8: up in New York, that's something that we will continue
Speaker 8: to watch and of course We're wishing uh mayor Adams
Speaker 8: well wishes as well.
Speaker 5: We don't want to see him sick or you know,
Speaker 5: down and out. So but that's your front page news.
Speaker 10: I'm Morgan.
Speaker 8: Would follow me on social at Morgan Media and for
Speaker 8: more news coverage, follow me at or follow at Black
Speaker 8: Information Network, download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us

Speaker 6: we have Vivick Ramaswami. He'll be joining us this morning.
Speaker 25: You.
Speaker 3: Vic was a part of DOGE Doves, was a new
Speaker 3: adminished a new government Apartment.
Speaker 10: Of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 3: That's right of the new government agency formed by Donald
Speaker 3: Trump for the Trump administration.
Speaker 4: It was him and Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: But but Vic either left or got pushed out, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk to him next.
Speaker 4: We'll find out which one.
Speaker 2: So don't go anywhere. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 17: Morning.
Speaker 6: Everybody is DJ Envy just hilarious, Charlamagne de God. We
Speaker 6: are the Breakfast Club lawn the roaster feeling in for Jesson.
Speaker 6: We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 6: Vivick Ramswami.
Speaker 4: Welcome.
Speaker 2: How you doing man, How you feeling all good? You're
Speaker 2: doing well?
Speaker 4: This is your first interview on what you said like
Speaker 4: a month.
Speaker 28: Yeah, I've been well, I haven't been you know, a
Speaker 28: lot going on, but I haven't been out on media.
Speaker 28: But you know, people are going to hear more from
Speaker 28: me starting now. Why you called me?
Speaker 12: Uh over the weekend?
Speaker 2: I told you happened to be in the city. So
Speaker 2: this worked out?
Speaker 4: Well, Well we'll tell us a vic what happened with Doge?
Speaker 2: Yes, well, congratulations on the job. Thank you man.
Speaker 4: I appreciate anyone.
Speaker 2: It's not my job right now. I'm moving on to
Speaker 2: my next.
Speaker 4: Fired.
Speaker 28: No, it was a slightly different vision from where we
Speaker 28: started to where we landed. And it's not that it's
Speaker 28: you know, one's right or wrong, but if you take
Speaker 28: a look at where we began, right, doj is going
Speaker 28: to be an outside body to the government. One of
Speaker 28: my core areas of focus throughout has been the constitutional
Speaker 28: and legal basis for shutting down the bureaucracy and the
Speaker 28: federal government and downsizing it. That's what I focused written
Speaker 28: my books on, et cetera. It evolved in more of
Speaker 28: a direction of a technology project using a technology first approach,
Speaker 28: and so Elon and I were on good terms, we
Speaker 28: have good personal relationship, slightly different approaches to the project,
Speaker 28: and what he and I both concluded, and I think
Speaker 28: this is right, is given my focus on law on
Speaker 28: li legislation, the right way to realize my vision is
Speaker 28: through elected office. And so that's what I'm going to
Speaker 28: be pursuing. An announcement probably coming up in the next month,
Speaker 28: but that's my next path.
Speaker 4: The government of Ohio heard about that.
Speaker 2: That's coming up soon, but that was where we all landed.
Speaker 28: Was the right way to do this for me was
Speaker 28: if I'm focused on constitutional law, deregulation, legislation to downsize government.
Speaker 28: That's been my vision for a long time. Let me
Speaker 28: realize that I'm my own two feet through elected office.
Speaker 28: At the same time, I'm happy to have helped over
Speaker 28: the last couple of months to be able to get
Speaker 28: this off the ground and a technology first approach from
Speaker 28: within the government. Now it's not outside the government. It
Speaker 28: made all the sense in the world to make this
Speaker 28: the time that we went separate ways.
Speaker 2: So it was true.
Speaker 3: There was an exclusive report in the Washington Posts that
Speaker 3: said you were pushed out because your vision didn't align
Speaker 3: with Elon.
Speaker 28: So I would say that we arrived at it pretty mutually.
Speaker 28: And I think when it came the doge was in
Speaker 28: the government. So there's actually a law, it's called the
Speaker 28: Hatch Act. Boring stuff, but you literally can't run for
Speaker 28: office while you are in employee of the government, unless
Speaker 28: you're the president or vice president. I've been committed to
Speaker 28: this path of likely running for governor of Ohio for
Speaker 28: a long time. My plan initially might have been to
Speaker 28: do those at the same time. Once it became clear
Speaker 28: that was impossible to do at the same time, Once
Speaker 28: it became clear to me that that was the right
Speaker 28: next leadership destination for me, felt like the start of
Speaker 28: the project on day one was the right way to
Speaker 28: start that next chapter.
Speaker 4: That's why we did it.
Speaker 6: Now, you did say it the last couple of months,
Speaker 6: you've been focused on getting Trump in office. Yeah, So,
Speaker 6: now that he's in office and we've seen the last
Speaker 6: couple of days, what are your thoughts and do you
Speaker 6: still stand by everything that he's done.
Speaker 28: You know, I really think he's off to a pretty
Speaker 28: good start. I mean, you think about most presidents, they
Speaker 28: take a little bit of time to get warmed up.
Speaker 28: He didn't go through the warm up phase. He got
Speaker 28: started right away. And I think there's a reason for that,
Speaker 28: which is very few presidents have actually been the president
Speaker 28: before and then they come all the way back then.
Speaker 28: Grover Cleveland was the only one other one who did it,
Speaker 28: so he in some ways is coming in for a
Speaker 28: second term. But I actually do think those four years
Speaker 28: of being able to reflect on what actually mattered to
Speaker 28: him were actually pretty good. So I like a lot
Speaker 28: of what we've seen in that first week unleash energy production.
Speaker 28: That's going to bring down energy prices, it's going to
Speaker 28: stimulate the economy. A lot of the regulatory and red
Speaker 28: tape rollback. I think it's just a good thing for
Speaker 28: the country. If you travel the country and you ask
Speaker 28: most Americans, do you think there's too much red tape
Speaker 28: or do you think there's too little red tape? I
Speaker 28: don't think there's anybody who would tell you that I
Speaker 28: think there's too little red tape. I think there's a
Speaker 28: lot of people, especially business owners, small business owners, to
Speaker 28: tell you there's.
Speaker 2: Too much red tape.
Speaker 28: Trump has gone pretty aggressive even in the first week
Speaker 28: and saying we're rolling back a lot of those regulations.
Speaker 28: We're rolling back the regulations that hold back energy production
Speaker 28: in the United States, getting very serious about the border,
Speaker 28: and you know, I mean, I think that you can
Speaker 28: have your debates about what the legal immigration policy in
Speaker 28: the US should look like, but I think most people
Speaker 28: are united that we don't want an open southern border,
Speaker 28: and yet functionally that's what it's been for much of
Speaker 28: the last four years. So I think it's been a
Speaker 28: lot of pretty good moves out the gate.
Speaker 3: How was eliminating government diversity programs like DEI beneficial to
Speaker 3: anybody other than it's great white male.
Speaker 28: Oh, I think there are some ways in which is
Speaker 28: not even beneficial to straight white males, which I'll tell
Speaker 28: you about in a second. But I think this culture
Speaker 28: of reviving merit the country is a very American idea.
Speaker 28: You and I have talked about this in some of
Speaker 28: our some of our discussions here in the past. I
Speaker 28: think is America is a country where you are not
Speaker 28: judged on the color of your skin. You ought to
Speaker 28: be judged on the content of your character and your contributions.
Speaker 28: The best person ought to get the job, regardless of
Speaker 28: their genetics. That's America at its best. We haven't always
Speaker 28: been that. You could argue that we've never actually been
Speaker 28: that perfectly. We're an imperfect nation because we're comprised of
Speaker 28: human beings and not gods. But I do think it
Speaker 28: is a step forward to say that after we've turned
Speaker 28: the page on one hundred and sixty years ago and
Speaker 28: then sixty years ago with the Civil Rights Revolution, after
Speaker 28: we've made all the progress we have, now is the
Speaker 28: time not to engage in blaming for the past or
Speaker 28: whatever we have been perfect, but to move forward to
Speaker 28: say we're country where we want the best person to
Speaker 28: get the job without regard to their skin color, or
Speaker 28: their sexuality, or their race. And the only thing I
Speaker 28: would tell you that you might be interested in for
Speaker 28: the angle you mentioned is I also think there has
Speaker 28: been a culture emerging in the last few years, a
Speaker 28: culture of excuses amongst people who say, oh, I didn't
Speaker 28: get that job because of DEI. And in certain cases
Speaker 28: that may be true that certain people, maybe a white
Speaker 28: male was denied a job because somebody else got the
Speaker 28: job because of racial or gender preferences, but there's also
Speaker 28: a lot of instances in which that provides somebody else
Speaker 28: a new excuse. And I just want to no excuses
Speaker 28: culture across the board, where one of the side effects
Speaker 28: of ending DEI is that nobody's going to have excuses
Speaker 28: anymore for why they didn't get that job either.
Speaker 2: So I just think merit across the board is the
Speaker 2: way to go.
Speaker 4: But do you trust people don't like?
Speaker 3: Do you trust people enough to say, hey, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be prejudiced against this person because
Speaker 3: of their identity.
Speaker 2: I mean, we all have it. Let me say something.
Speaker 28: We all have our innate biases, right, We're human beings.
Speaker 28: As I said, we're human beings. We're not gods were
Speaker 28: flawed and people have their innate biases. But the question
Speaker 28: is is there a perfect system? Though there's not, But
Speaker 28: what's the least imperfect system? And I think the least
Speaker 28: imperfect system is one where we aspire to at least
Speaker 28: think of our country through the lens of merit.
Speaker 4: A way to get there. You don't think that.
Speaker 2: I think it has proven not to be the way
Speaker 2: to get there.
Speaker 28: I've obviously been an opponent of it for for four
Speaker 28: or five years, so I'm obviously going to have biased
Speaker 28: views on this from what I said, But what is
Speaker 28: it exactly?
Speaker 3: The policy because you need diversity to get there, you
Speaker 3: need equity to get there, you need inclusion to get there.
Speaker 28: So I think part of what happened is when you
Speaker 28: when you started using the capital D capital E capital.
Speaker 28: I here's what happened is I think, in the name
Speaker 28: of diversity of thought, right because that's where you want diversity.
Speaker 28: I thought in an organization the capital D diversity actually
Speaker 28: ended up saying that certain viewpoints aren't welcome, that we
Speaker 28: actually sacrifice true diversity of thought in the name of equity,
Speaker 28: which is measured in terms of outcomes. I think we
Speaker 28: actually sacrificed true equality of opportunity. And then at a
Speaker 28: certain place, and this is really where it took a
Speaker 28: dark turn to me, is in the name of inclusion,
Speaker 28: we created a culture of exclusion where certain viewpoints were
Speaker 28: not welcome in an organization. And what that does is
Speaker 28: it causes the bottled up emotion to fester. Okay, that
Speaker 28: doesn't lead to good places. When you tell somebody shut up,
Speaker 28: sit down and do as your tol keyp reviews to yourself,
Speaker 28: that actually fosters resentment. And the weird thing I think
Speaker 28: has happened in the last few years, and I do
Speaker 28: actually blame a lot of the DEI and related policies
Speaker 28: for this is that we have seen a reactionary wave
Speaker 28: of racism in the country, anti minority racism that would
Speaker 28: not have existed but for that DEI culture of not
Speaker 28: only taking something away from somebody based on their skin color,
Speaker 28: but even worse in the name of inclusion, saying that
Speaker 28: you can't express your view.
Speaker 7: Why would you have a conversation about equal opportunity if
Speaker 7: they don't even want to have a conversation about diversity,
Speaker 7: equity and inclusion. You get what I'm saying, Like, I
Speaker 7: understand where you're trying to go with them, but you
Speaker 7: can't have one without the other. I think is the
Speaker 7: point in how do you do that? It seems like
Speaker 7: that'sh your disconnect even with.
Speaker 28: Dolge Right, No, I think it become a couple couple
Speaker 28: different topics there. Look, are we a country where we
Speaker 28: want equal opportunity for every person to achieve the maximum
Speaker 28: of their God given potential?
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 29: We do.
Speaker 2: Are we perfect in realizing that?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 24: Or not?
Speaker 28: Do we think that group quota systems are the right
Speaker 28: way to achieve that? I'm of the view the answer
Speaker 28: is no, and I think the last few years show
Speaker 28: us that it hasn't even been effective in actually empowering
Speaker 28: the people was supposed to empower while it's created a
Speaker 28: resentment of a lot of the people who felt deprived.
Speaker 28: So I think we's gotta we just got to go
Speaker 28: to post We've gotta go to post di I world
Speaker 28: that that ship, in my opinion, for the better, maybe
Speaker 28: other people's opinion for the worst.
Speaker 2: That ship is sailed. Now let's look to the future
Speaker 2: and say what does equal opportunity actually look like?
Speaker 6: All right, we got more with Vivick Ramaswami. When we
Speaker 6: come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 6: Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess hilarious, Charlomagne the
Speaker 6: guy we are to breakfast Club law on the roster
Speaker 6: say with us as well.
Speaker 2: We're still kid getting with Vivick Ramaswami.
Speaker 6: Now, I got a question, what were your thoughts on
Speaker 6: and claim to be an honest person when Donald Trump
Speaker 6: signed off on the people that tried to overdoe the.
Speaker 2: Government signed off part of here's here's my view.
Speaker 6: And then I want to ask you what did you
Speaker 6: think when Joe Biden pardoned you know, his son and
Speaker 6: his family members as well.
Speaker 2: So let's start wait with Trump. So here's my view.
Speaker 2: They try to overdod the government, which is totally law.
Speaker 28: So I think that there were many people. If there's
Speaker 28: a rabbit hole, we could have an hour on this,
Speaker 28: and I don't really think it's even all that relevant anymore.
Speaker 28: There were a lot of people who didn't do a
Speaker 28: thing that was wrong, that ended up being ensnared in
Speaker 28: getting locked up, getting prosecuted for peacefully without any weapons,
Speaker 28: exercising their First Amendment rights. And as a country were
Speaker 28: a country that celebrates political dissent and opposition. People who
Speaker 28: never entered the Capitol, people who never hurt anybody, people
Speaker 28: who were unarmed walking on the Capitol grounds.
Speaker 2: And it was just sloppy the way the whole thing was.
Speaker 28: Yeah, And I think that those kind of peaceful protesters,
Speaker 28: the fact that they were ensnared and had their due
Speaker 28: process rights denied is an affront. And I say that
Speaker 28: as somebody who I'm a civil libertarian. I believe the
Speaker 28: same is true for left wing protesters. I think the
Speaker 28: same thing has been true for civil rights protesters sixty
Speaker 28: years ago. I think the same thing was true for
Speaker 28: peaceful protesters on January sixth. So then when you look
Speaker 28: at when you look at it holistically, right, it was
Speaker 28: so messy in the way that it was handled. There
Speaker 28: were so many also unanswered questions and some stuff that
Speaker 28: didn't smell great. Like if you look at the first
Speaker 28: thing that came out from the Inspector General's report only
Speaker 28: came out a few weeks, a couple weeks were Trump
Speaker 28: took office, how many FBI informants and affiliated people were
Speaker 28: in that audience. It didn't smell good, and that came out.
Speaker 28: You said that two years ago that was considered a
Speaker 28: bad conspiracy theory. But now they came out with the
Speaker 28: Inspector General report saying that they weren't transparent with the public.
Speaker 28: There was enough that the government did that smelled rotten
Speaker 28: there that in the interest of just turning the page,
Speaker 28: you know what I think would have been the best
Speaker 28: outcome for the country. I said this before Biden left office.
Speaker 28: I think if Joe Biden had not pardoned his family member,
Speaker 28: but had pardoned the January sixth protesters in one of
Speaker 28: his final acts to say that I've been critical of this,
Speaker 28: but in the interest of moving the country forward. As
Speaker 28: I'm leaving the office. I'm turning the page and look
Speaker 28: into the future. And then Donald Trump takes office and
Speaker 28: pardons the Biden family for any alleged defenses that would
Speaker 28: have been I think the best case scenario for the country.
Speaker 4: We had the they were some of them were insurrectionists.
Speaker 3: And I mean there's actual people who are denying pardons
Speaker 3: because they said, no, we committed a cross.
Speaker 7: Yes, there was a woman who did a hosted that
Speaker 7: interview said we did really horrible things. People died. I
Speaker 7: heard her interview, and so today you will say there
Speaker 7: were people who were peaceful.
Speaker 2: But then we've seen people that have the gates ran
Speaker 2: up in there and running in people's office. We see
Speaker 2: them as well.
Speaker 3: I think had the best reason that what jade Van
Speaker 3: said this before Trump did the part, and he said
Speaker 3: that we're going to look at every We're not going
Speaker 3: to pardon all the January sixth insurrections. We're going to
Speaker 3: look at it on a case by case.
Speaker 2: He's a case by case.
Speaker 4: You see who needs to be part and who doesn't.
Speaker 28: And that's what I That's what I had said for
Speaker 28: the last couple of years as well. I do think
Speaker 28: that when we're also moving quickly with respect to Trump
Speaker 28: talking about a new golden age for the country. That's
Speaker 28: what we all want, right, We want a country where
Speaker 28: the issues were focused on is what affects people in
Speaker 28: their everyday lives. The conversation about lifting people up economically
Speaker 28: and educationally. I think it is in that spirit to
Speaker 28: say that we're just turning the page and moving the
Speaker 28: nation forward. I understand the decision to do it not
Speaker 28: on a case by case basis, but on a blanket basis.
Speaker 28: I understand when it's coming to.
Speaker 4: Criminals, like one of the guys got out and went
Speaker 4: right back.
Speaker 28: To just by definition, just so we're talking about the
Speaker 28: same thing. By definition, anybody who gets a pardon is
Speaker 28: getting a pardon, any of them. Anybody who gets a
Speaker 28: pardon after a conviction means they were convicted.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 28: So there are hundreds of presidential pardons. Biden issied most
Speaker 28: more pardons than any president has in his final month
Speaker 28: leaving office. Every president issues pardons. But part of the
Speaker 28: reason the president has a pardon power is the job
Speaker 28: of the president is actually to look after the country.
Speaker 28: The job of a jury and a judge in a
Speaker 28: case is to look after that individual case. But a
Speaker 28: president is a steward of a country and to say
Speaker 28: what's in the best overall interest in the country. That's
Speaker 28: why the president is a pardon power. So everybody who
Speaker 28: a president has ever pardoned is by definition of criminal.
Speaker 28: The question is, even in the face of somebody being
Speaker 28: a criminal by definition of having committed some crime, take
Speaker 28: a big step back and say, notwithstanding that, is it
Speaker 28: in the interest of a nation to be able to
Speaker 28: pardon that person and move forward.
Speaker 2: That's the judgment that belongs on a president's shoulders.
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about you.
Speaker 3: How do you advocate for ending birth rights citizenship when
Speaker 3: both your parents were illegal and non.
Speaker 2: Citizens were legal.
Speaker 4: They were legal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right when they give a country. Yeah.
Speaker 28: So my view, and I've been pretty consistent on this,
Speaker 28: is that birthright citizenship should not be granted to the
Speaker 28: kids of illegals in this country. Where's birthright citizenship mean?
Speaker 28: Just again, everyone on the same page. It means if
Speaker 28: you're physically born in the country, you're automatically a citizen.
Speaker 28: And that's been part of the long standing tradition of
Speaker 28: the country within certain guardrails. So I'll give you one
Speaker 28: that nobody contests Let's say you're the kid of a
Speaker 28: Mexican diplomat. I say it's a guy who's legally physically
Speaker 28: in the country, but he is the ambassador from Mexico
Speaker 28: or Panama or whatever country to the US. They happen
Speaker 28: to have a baby while they're here. Is that baby
Speaker 28: a citizen of the United States? Nobody thinks the answer
Speaker 28: to that is yes. If you're a diplomat from Mexico
Speaker 28: or a government official from another country, but physically the
Speaker 28: baby happens to be born here, you're still a citizen
Speaker 28: out other country. And goes to the fourteenth Amendment, it says,
Speaker 28: are you subject to the laws and jurisdiction thereof, then
Speaker 28: you're a citizen.
Speaker 12: That's what it says.
Speaker 28: So by similar analogy, if somebody who's an ambassador from
Speaker 28: Mexico or is in this country legally but doesn't enjoy
Speaker 28: birthright citizenship because they're still subject to the laws and
Speaker 28: jurisdiction of the other country, then the question is if
Speaker 28: somebody entered this country illegal. Or let's just say take
Speaker 28: another one, if somebody's a foreign invader to the right.
Speaker 28: Let's say you have a foreign invasion of the country
Speaker 28: but includes a pregnant woman and she happens to have
Speaker 28: a baby here, nobody thinks that baby enjoys birthright citizenship.
Speaker 28: So then the question is, if somebody broke the law
Speaker 28: when entering the country, right that they're active entering the
Speaker 28: country was a violation of our laws, are they really
Speaker 28: subject to the jurisdiction and law in the same way
Speaker 28: if they have their kid in the country, that kid
Speaker 28: does not automatically enjoy birthright citizenship. That's in my position,
Speaker 28: I think it's a reasonable position.
Speaker 7: Well, why isn't that moving forward? You would want an
Speaker 7: administration to pick and choose, like when they give opportunities.
Speaker 7: So for instance, like what if I'm here illegally, I
Speaker 7: have my kid here legally. No, i'm here illegally, Okay,
Speaker 7: hypothetically if I'm here illegally, right, I did whatever I
Speaker 7: had to do to get here, just because of whatever
Speaker 7: my circumstances are. I'm not committing crimes while I'm here.
Speaker 7: I'm working the best I can, just trying to raise
Speaker 7: my kid. My kid is doing amazing, I'm providing a
Speaker 7: better life. And then all of a sudden, now because
Speaker 7: Trump is in office, it's like, no, my kid has
Speaker 7: to go back to whatever circumstances we came from, not
Speaker 7: too much set up because they're no longer a citizen.
Speaker 28: So if you look at psident Trump's recent commentary, in
Speaker 28: some of his interviews, even leading up to take an office,
Speaker 28: he himself has drawn a distinction between people who have
Speaker 28: been here for a really long time and established roots
Speaker 28: versus people who have come super recently to the country.
Speaker 28: Right in the Dreamer's Program, you talked about how people
Speaker 28: have been here for a long time. We could have
Speaker 28: our own debates about what my own views even are
Speaker 28: on that, but let's just take start with the easy,
Speaker 28: low hanging fruit. If somebody commits a crime while they're
Speaker 28: hearing they entered illegally, should they be automatically for I
Speaker 28: want to and then we just go straight down the layet.
Speaker 7: We're not going to argue that point because that's kind
Speaker 7: of like, that's an easy point, though I know I
Speaker 7: think where I'm getting confused with.
Speaker 28: You as like you even if it's a few years,
Speaker 28: I would say the same thing. So if somebody has
Speaker 28: come here and it hasn't been that long, so we're
Speaker 28: talking about double digit millions of people who have come
Speaker 28: here illegally under Biden's tenure, those people have not established
Speaker 28: roots in the United States, right, Those people should have
Speaker 28: followed a different route. And by the way, there are
Speaker 28: millions more who did not come here illegally because they
Speaker 28: were trying to do it the right way. They're the
Speaker 28: ones we kept out, and the ones who lied or
Speaker 28: broke the rules are the ones who we let in.
Speaker 28: That's not right, right, So I think that sending all
Speaker 28: of the people who at least entered illegally under Biden's
Speaker 28: tenure recently, even if it's just taking the last two years,
Speaker 28: that is millions of people. So even if we just
Speaker 28: said over the last eighteen months, the people who entered
Speaker 28: this country illegally have to go back to their country
Speaker 28: of origin. They haven't established roots in eighteen months, that
Speaker 28: alone would be the largest mass deportation in American history.
Speaker 28: Now you want to go beyond that, we could argue
Speaker 28: the details, but that alone is literally the largest mass
Speaker 28: deportation in American history.
Speaker 2: And I think most people are in favor of it
Speaker 2: to say that that's fair.
Speaker 3: So why our House Republican has divided on this because
Speaker 3: it seems weird that you would want to fight the
Speaker 3: in birthright citizenship now, especially when you've made so many
Speaker 3: strides or expanding voters.
Speaker 28: So I'm not following necessarily what the House Republicans are
Speaker 28: divided on per se. But what I will tell you
Speaker 28: is I think most people if explained right, because I
Speaker 28: think the problem with this is it can become a
Speaker 28: pretty emotional conversation if you just objectively look at the
Speaker 28: low hanging fruit that we all agree with, that's actually
Speaker 28: pretty far from where we are today.
Speaker 4: If you look at.
Speaker 28: Somebody who entered this country illegally, does their kid automatically
Speaker 28: get birthright citizenship?
Speaker 2: Going forward?
Speaker 28: We can't even change the past, right, because those are
Speaker 28: the rules of the past. But at least going forward
Speaker 28: we will say that anybody knew who enters the country
Speaker 28: illegally and has a kid here, that kid does not
Speaker 28: automatically enjoy birthright citizenship. I think is a very reasonable position.
Speaker 2: Hright.
Speaker 6: We got more with Vivick Ramaswami. When we come back,
Speaker 6: don't move. It's the breakfast club, Good morning morning. Everybody
Speaker 6: is DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlomage the guy.
Speaker 2: We are to breakfast club.
Speaker 6: No one the Roses say with us as well, were
Speaker 6: still kid getting with Vivick Ramaswami charlamag.
Speaker 28: What did Trump say when you told him you wanted
Speaker 28: to leave those It was it was a pretty good
Speaker 28: mutual discussion. He was very supportive, and uh, you know,
Speaker 28: I think Donald Trump and I we built a good
Speaker 28: relationship since I left the race.
Speaker 2: I think it's for me.
Speaker 28: I've always been somebody who I need to stand for
Speaker 28: my own vision for the country. I'm at my best
Speaker 28: when I'm standing for my vision for the future, and
Speaker 28: I'm excited for that. And Donald Trump was super supportive
Speaker 28: of that. We had a good time at the inauguration together,
Speaker 28: and I think we're gonna be working together informally for
Speaker 28: a long time to come.
Speaker 3: One of the executive orders that happened, uh you know,
Speaker 3: was DoLS was rebranded as the US Digital Yeah Service,
Speaker 3: which was an Obama air group which is basically created
Speaker 3: to keep demandage the Affordable Care Acts website, but now
Speaker 3: determines the best practic This is for the government's use
Speaker 3: of technology.
Speaker 4: That wasn't your initial vision.
Speaker 28: So look, there were there were a couple of different
Speaker 28: visions in approach, and I will say that Elon and
Speaker 28: taking a technology first approach, he's the best person to
Speaker 28: take that technology first approach, no doubt about it. You
Speaker 28: know what I've always been drawn to in my books
Speaker 28: and a lot of the articles I've written. In my
Speaker 28: own campaign for president, a lot of my focus has
Speaker 28: been on using the constitutional landscape and using the legislative
Speaker 28: landscape to bring down spending, the curb regulations. I think
Speaker 28: the best way to do that is from the perch
Speaker 28: of elected office. And I think that when you think
Speaker 28: about who's going to drive change through technology in the government,
Speaker 28: nobody better than Elon to do that.
Speaker 4: How you how is the.
Speaker 3: Trump administration will reduce food prices when they're deporting the
Speaker 3: people who are picking the food.
Speaker 7: Because he's that first day out and we ain't seen
Speaker 7: no prices drop in.
Speaker 2: Well, come on, it's been a couple of weeks, right,
Speaker 2: it's been not even a couple weeks.
Speaker 4: It's it's been a week.
Speaker 28: People who are actual picking the food, well, I mean
Speaker 28: deporting the people. Well, we maybe we should have a system.
Speaker 28: I think you would agree with me on this. Maybe
Speaker 28: we should have a system where the people who's picking
Speaker 28: our food, or people who are in our food supply
Speaker 28: chain were not people who entered the country illegally but
Speaker 28: actually fostered both American born and a proper legal immigration
Speaker 28: system to staff that in a way that isn't illegal.
Speaker 2: That's a separate question.
Speaker 3: Say you want people when there's only fourteen million people
Speaker 3: live in the country illegally.
Speaker 28: Let's let's just talk about bringing down food prices for
Speaker 28: a second, because I think it's an important point. I
Speaker 28: would also add to the list, by the way, housing prices.
Speaker 28: I would add to the list energy prices, especially electricity costs.
Speaker 28: I would add insurance costs. How things are going to
Speaker 28: be tough, Well, here's the number one way to do it.
Speaker 28: Increase the supply of everything, right, the laws of supply
Speaker 28: and demand. If you have constricted supply, you have higher prices.
Speaker 28: If you have more supply, prices come down. And one
Speaker 28: of the easiest things that we're able to do in
Speaker 28: all of those areas housing, food, energy, you bring down
Speaker 28: the regulatory barrier to producing.
Speaker 2: More of it.
Speaker 28: That is automatically going to bring prices down. That's at
Speaker 28: least the first and easiest step we can take. Some
Speaker 28: of this is at the federal level, but keep in mind,
Speaker 28: not all of this is stuff that Donald Trump can do.
Speaker 28: Some of this is a lot of this is actually
Speaker 28: at the state level too. I mean, you think about
Speaker 28: most of the regulations that stop people from producing food,
Speaker 28: most of the regulations that stop people from building new houses,
Speaker 28: including manufactured homes, which I think is actually an innovative
Speaker 28: area for the future. You think about even a lot
Speaker 28: of the restrictions on energy production, it's nuclear energy included.
Speaker 28: A lot of that is at the state level, which
Speaker 28: is part of why, in my own reflection right, thinking
Speaker 28: about having an impact on the country, you want here
Speaker 28: to do this public service thing. I'll tell you there's
Speaker 28: a lot about it that isn't super pleasant at all times.
Speaker 28: So if you're going to do it, you might as
Speaker 28: well have the biggest possible impact you can have. And
Speaker 28: the way I look at it is Donald Trump, He's
Speaker 28: got it covered at the federal level. I'm rooting for success,
Speaker 28: and I expect success, but it's not gonna be a
Speaker 28: one man show. At the end of the day. He
Speaker 28: got fifty states that have also have to tackle these
Speaker 28: very same problems, and especially when it's questions of affordability,
Speaker 28: questions really into education. Education is all driven by the states.
Speaker 28: I think the States is where it's at in terms
Speaker 28: of actually the need to drive real change. And so
Speaker 28: I've set my sights accordingly, and I will try to Yeah,
Speaker 28: I've tried to say I'm going to hopefully stay true
Speaker 28: to not just talking about this stuff, but to actually
Speaker 28: translate it to action.
Speaker 2: And I do think that this is a lot of
Speaker 2: the issues. We're talking about bringing down housing costs that
Speaker 2: is not a part is an issue. There are a
Speaker 2: lot of Republicans who are pissed off about high housing costs.
Speaker 2: A lot of Democrats were pissed off about high housing costs.
Speaker 2: And it is not a nature made problem. It's not
Speaker 2: a law physics. It is a man made problem. And
Speaker 2: a man made problem has a man made solution. And
Speaker 2: Donald Trump can set the tone. But those regulations, most
Speaker 2: of them are actually at the state level.
Speaker 28: Same thing with respect education, determining whether or not that
Speaker 28: poor young kid in the inner city, black, Hispanic, or
Speaker 28: white can go to an actual good school isn't determined
Speaker 28: by the federal government. It's determined by actually those state laws.
Speaker 28: Same thing with respect to food restrictions, the constraints on
Speaker 28: nuclear energy production, A lot of those are at the
Speaker 28: state level. And so I'm actually excited about making sure
Speaker 28: that we're not just looking at this as a one
Speaker 28: size fits all solution. I supported Donald Trump pretty heavily.
Speaker 28: I dedicated significant part of my last year to gettinghim
Speaker 28: elected because I thought he would restore that sense of spine,
Speaker 28: that sense of great to America. But it's never one
Speaker 28: man show. It's never one man coming down from the
Speaker 28: White House to save us. It's never been that way.
Speaker 28: In fact, our founders envisioned this system of federalism to
Speaker 28: be led by the state's bottom up as well, and
Speaker 28: so I'm excited for both of those to work in
Speaker 28: the next couple of years.
Speaker 3: Do you think you will push out of those because
Speaker 3: Trump rolled back the DEI initiatives?
Speaker 28: No, the contrary, and you know, I would say, just
Speaker 28: to be super clear about I have no problem with
Speaker 28: you know, framing or whatever. It was really just an
Speaker 28: actual mutual decision where you look at here's one vision
Speaker 28: on approach, here's a different vision on an approach. That's great,
Speaker 28: there's no right or wrong answer. With a technology driven
Speaker 28: approach and a technology first approach, there's no better person
Speaker 28: than Elon to run with that. With a constitutional law focus,
Speaker 28: with a legislation focus. Some of the areas I was
Speaker 28: focused on probably the right place to do it is
Speaker 28: elected office, and so we all agreed on that, and
Speaker 28: I think that that's actually a good thing, where we're
Speaker 28: able to where we're actually able.
Speaker 2: To collaborate, divide and conqueror.
Speaker 3: I behave Yeah, I don't believe you. I think you
Speaker 3: either got pushed out. You know that it's going to implode.
Speaker 3: I think that you know, Elon is going to crash
Speaker 3: and burn it. And you're a smart guy, and he said,
Speaker 3: you know what, let me get out of Dodge and
Speaker 3: go do my governor Ohio thing.
Speaker 2: So look, I know.
Speaker 28: I knew that the right step for me in the
Speaker 28: long run is elected office and to pursue the vision
Speaker 28: that we're talking about here, to actually translate that to.
Speaker 2: Action of my own terms, that's what I've been called
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 28: It was clear that I could not do that and
Speaker 28: serve on Doge at the same time, even for logistical reasons.
Speaker 28: It came to be in the government rather than an
Speaker 28: outside body. I was proud to be able to spend
Speaker 28: the first couple of months offering my contributions and setting
Speaker 28: it in the right direction with its focus now with
Speaker 28: its digital technology focus. No better person to do that
Speaker 28: than Elon in the way that he's going to lead it,
Speaker 28: and I am hopeful that there's going to be a
Speaker 28: lot of streamlining of government bureaucracy that comes out of that.
Speaker 2: And I'm pursuing my next steps.
Speaker 4: At the State.
Speaker 28: We're all on very good terms and so I wouldn't
Speaker 28: want to speak for anybody else, but I will say
Speaker 28: that they are very supportive of the.
Speaker 2: Disc vision that I made to pursue my next step.
Speaker 2: Got ye, all right?
Speaker 3: You hit me up every weekend and I cannot wait
Speaker 3: until you unhit your horse from this Maga wagon, and you.
Speaker 7: Can really tell me.
Speaker 2: I got my horse hitched to one wagon. And I'm
Speaker 2: not being corny about it.
Speaker 4: I really mean it.
Speaker 2: It is the America wagon. I love this country and
Speaker 2: I will you know what.
Speaker 28: I would rather fight to this country for the principles
Speaker 28: I believe in and stand for and lose than to
Speaker 28: win by checking some box along the way. And this
Speaker 28: next step for me, I think is going to be
Speaker 28: it's going to be really good.
Speaker 6: Good luck in Ohio. And uh, how are you gonna
Speaker 6: take care of Haitian family over there that you know?
Speaker 6: Trump said, Well, I visited.
Speaker 2: A member of them in in Springfield, and I think
Speaker 2: that I spent a lot of time in Springfield growing up.
Speaker 2: Actually any of them, we didn't. Oh yeah, no we
Speaker 2: did not. We hung out. We hung out.
Speaker 28: It was it was the daytime where we hung out.
Speaker 28: But I would say that it's understandable where you have
Speaker 28: a tiny community that is really small population in Springfield
Speaker 28: that has had its population dramatically transformed. I don't blame anybody.
Speaker 28: That's what I said when I went visited Springfield. I
Speaker 28: don't blame anybody in that community. I don't blame the
Speaker 28: people who live in Springfield for being upset. I don't
Speaker 28: blame Haitians who made decisions for their own family to
Speaker 28: end up in Springfield the way they are. I do
Speaker 28: blame a lot of Field government policies. And at the
Speaker 28: end of the day, you could sit back and blame
Speaker 28: the government all you want, and some of them. At
Speaker 28: a certain point in time, I said, Okay, I'm sitting
Speaker 28: here offering commentary from an armchair.
Speaker 2: I'm done with that.
Speaker 28: I want to go in and actually be through action,
Speaker 28: make a difference that you want to see. And so
Speaker 28: I think that running to be the chief executive of
Speaker 28: a state, a governor short of being a president is
Speaker 28: the single greatest way to.
Speaker 2: Have unshackled impact on your country. And I'll look forward
Speaker 2: to making a big announcement about that in a few weeks.
Speaker 6: All right, it's vivig Ramaswami. We appreciate you for joining us.
Speaker 6: Continue man, that's the Breakfast Club go morning. All right, Well,

Speaker 7: there's a lot of other parts coming out, and I
Speaker 7: mentioned that we didn't even get to everything that we
Speaker 7: were going to get to because what I realized and
Speaker 7: talking to y'all is like people don't really care no
Speaker 7: more about these documentaries, so.
Speaker 4: Many at this point of them.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was like nothing new, really, nothing new I
Speaker 7: learned outside of me my first time hearing the story
Speaker 7: about Diddy and Heavy D having a party and the
Speaker 7: people being trampled and all that stuff. That was like
Speaker 7: the That was probably one of the only stories that
Speaker 7: I hadn't.
Speaker 5: Heard d trampled somebody.
Speaker 7: No excuse me, no, they had. They led to many
Speaker 7: people in the party. People got trampled, people passed away.
Speaker 2: It was as a party at how I think it
Speaker 2: was at Howard.
Speaker 7: It was at Howard Day.
Speaker 4: That wasn't the celebrity basketball game else something else.
Speaker 2: That was asking I thought at Howard that was that
Speaker 2: was New York. Maybe that was in New York it was.
Speaker 7: On his Howard time, because it wasn't it was after
Speaker 7: Howard when he was still known as like the party guy.
Speaker 2: That basketball game was in New York.
Speaker 7: I don't know if it was in DC or New York.

Speaker 5: Then he was up there.
Speaker 7: They had a party that was.
Speaker 2: A celebrity basketball game City College.

Speaker 7: y'all voted for this, so now we're gonna sit it out.
Speaker 7: I know there's like a conversation right now, especially amongst
Speaker 7: like I'm not saying her in particular, but people were
Speaker 7: using her as an example of well, y'all asked for
Speaker 7: this at the polls, and now y'all getting it.
Speaker 2: People voted for this, American people and a.

Speaker 5: To stay here here illegally, like a lawyer for what.
Speaker 7: Look, I don't know, but I'm telling y'all when I
Speaker 7: say the dragon was bad, I felt bad for her.
Speaker 7: I'm like, dang, she should have just like took this
Speaker 7: up with her group chat like I did.
Speaker 4: See us sic.
Speaker 3: US Senate candidate Sam Parker, he did to justice point
Speaker 3: say she Selena should be deported.
Speaker 4: US Canada. Sam parkis prid she's legal.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Well I know Tom Homan is how
Speaker 7: he say his name, Tom Homan. He He also responded
Speaker 7: as well to we have the audio.
Speaker 22: I don't think we arrested any families. We've arrested public
Speaker 22: safety threats and national security tests bottom line. And look,
Speaker 22: President Trump won the election on this one issue, securing
Speaker 22: our border and saving lives. This what happened on our
Speaker 22: southern board lasts for is the biggest national security threat
Speaker 22: this country scene, at least in my lifetime. Because we've
Speaker 22: got over two million known guidway, you've got six hundred
Speaker 22: increase in sex trafficking, we got a record number of
Speaker 22: terrorists crossing the board on terrorist watch list. We have
Speaker 22: quarterminon Americans diving fentanack coming across the open border. We're
Speaker 22: going to do this job and we're going to force
Speaker 22: the laws of this country. If they don't like it,
Speaker 22: then go to Congress and change the law. We're going
Speaker 22: to do this operation law apology. We're going to make
Speaker 22: our community safer. We're going to save well. Once we
Speaker 22: lock that board on continuous operation, you're going to see
Speaker 22: fetanyl dest decrease, illegal alien crime decrease, sex trafficking decrease.
Speaker 22: It's just all for the good of this nation. And
Speaker 22: we're going to keep going. No policies, We're moving forward.
Speaker 7: Man, that white man sound like a cop. Dony he
Speaker 7: used to Jesus Razty.
Speaker 3: Technically is just remember everything Trump is doing, America gave
Speaker 3: him the power to do.
Speaker 7: But that's when people was trying to tell Selena like
Speaker 7: he was he was going to surprise, not a surprise,
Speaker 7: yea time homing.
Speaker 4: When ice pop up, y'all the real surprise.
Speaker 7: Y'all been seeing the videos of uh, doctor Phield. Doctor
Speaker 7: Field was outside of ice, do what getting the people up?
Speaker 4: No, listen, where you're from.
Speaker 18: You've been deported, reported from the United States, never been deported.
Speaker 2: I've been what have you been charged with? I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say that, lawyer. Are you a citizen? My mother's
Speaker 2: your mother's a citizen, but you're not.
Speaker 4: But you've never been deported before, doctor Phil?
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you know me?
Speaker 15: I've seen I've seen a doctor Phil you know on TV.
Speaker 18: This is exactly sanctuary cities, right, We've got everywhere conect
Speaker 18: to them. Such crimes involving children, he's walking in the streets,
Speaker 18: So Chicago. Again, the problem with the Sanctuury City that
Speaker 18: people like us walking the street rather than from all
Speaker 18: working with agends.
Speaker 2: This is what we're dealing with. You been charged with
Speaker 2: sex crimes with children?
Speaker 26: Really?
Speaker 2: Not doctor how you know me?
Speaker 4: I saw you.
Speaker 3: If somebody says you have you been jobbed with sex
Speaker 3: crimes for children and your answers not really, you gotta go,
Speaker 3: You got to go.
Speaker 2: But is he really doing a ride.
Speaker 7: Along with doctor Fields outside? And he tweeted He's been
Speaker 7: tweeting the videos too, and one of the videos he
Speaker 7: tweeted to basically make the point that Ice is not
Speaker 7: just doing these random sweets sweeps and sending home families
Speaker 7: and like you know, breaking up homes the way that
Speaker 7: people are making a scene. They're only grabbing people who
Speaker 7: are here illegally that are potential harms and just didn't
Speaker 7: follow the law to be here.
Speaker 5: You wanted to know what people did and who period
Speaker 5: and he not really did something, so.
Speaker 4: Not really, you gotta go. That's that's that's like, that's.
Speaker 3: Like when Tori sawt Kelly, how old is a little bit?
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying like what you mean, not really,
Speaker 3: did you commit their crimes? Gets children?
Speaker 16: Not really?
Speaker 8: No, no.
Speaker 2: Questions A little bit that means the same thing. But
Speaker 2: doctor doctor Phil like the boogeyman. Now, if you see
Speaker 2: doctor Phil, you know what it is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been there since he stood about that Trump
Speaker 7: rally and said, de I is is what it is like,
Speaker 7: I don't know what happened.
Speaker 4: I got him coming up here this week is s game.
Speaker 2: I'm running. I see doctor phillipm out don't block him
Speaker 2: on show. I don't even known.
Speaker 7: My girl myself finds a way to watch it though, Jesus,
Speaker 7: well them people locked in with doctor Phil.
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: All right, Well that was just with the mess now charlamage,
Speaker 2: who are giving y'all?
Speaker 4: Don't you man? For after the hours.
Speaker 3: Since we're on the topic, let's talk about these insurrectionists
Speaker 3: and uh, these these capital rioters.
Speaker 6: Okay, talking about case by case basis. Let's discuss them,
Speaker 6: all right, we'll get into that. Nextus to the breakfast club.
Speaker 6: Good morning, wake up.
Speaker 2: If you're like into the breakfast club, this is a miracle, There.
Speaker 26: Is no question, and there are problems in this country
Speaker 26: between police and community.
Speaker 4: Yes, you are a donkey.
Speaker 1: The latest on that police killing I'm a black man.
Speaker 2: Now, the new developments in the death Lee spatshooting Rampa.
Speaker 4: Then today it was a really bad day for.
Speaker 2: Him and this is what he did.
Speaker 7: And so we are in a state of emergency.
Speaker 3: Okay, White supremacist violence, it is always have been the
Speaker 3: number one threat to our society.
Speaker 2: But I'm also very proud that my wife was white.
Speaker 4: It's a practice club bitches.
Speaker 7: All right, Frenny, please tell me why was I your
Speaker 7: Donkey of the day.
Speaker 3: Well, Donkey today for Tuesday, January twenty eighth goes to
Speaker 3: a few individuals. I'm gonna throw some names out there
Speaker 3: at Matthew Huddle he's forty two years old. He's from Hobart, Indiana.
Speaker 3: Daniel Charles Ball, he's from Florida. Andrew Take he's thirty
Speaker 3: six from Houston, Texas. What do all these people have
Speaker 3: in common? They were all part of the militia known
Speaker 3: as Vanilla Isis. Yes, they are all insurrectionist stormed the
Speaker 3: Capitol on January sixth, and they were all pardon last
Speaker 3: week by President Trump. Why am I bringing this up
Speaker 3: today because we just had a vic ramasoime on Breakfast
Speaker 3: Club Last Hour. He just recently left the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: All got pushed out depending on who you asked. And
Speaker 3: we were discussing these insurrectionists, all right, full disclosure, we
Speaker 3: had pre tape interviews, so the day before is when
Speaker 3: we talked to Bovec, So a couple of these stories
Speaker 3: actually came out yesterday afternoon. In the case of Daniel
Speaker 3: Charles Ball, that was the one I referenced during the
Speaker 3: Bovek interview. But I bought it up because there was
Speaker 3: no reason to do a blanket pardon of everyone on
Speaker 3: January sixth, no reason for President Trump to do that
Speaker 3: because some of these people were criminals before January sixth. Okay,
Speaker 3: Daniel Charles Ball was arrested for his role in January sixth.
Speaker 3: He entered the Capitol and broke a window shutter through
Speaker 3: a device at law enforcement officers that exploded. But he
Speaker 3: also has an outstanding warrant in Florida and was rearrested
Speaker 3: last week for a federal gun charge. Okay Andrew take
Speaker 3: attack police with bear spreak and a metal He has
Speaker 3: an unresolved charge of soliciting a minor and Matthew huddle
Speaker 3: Well Matthew.
Speaker 4: Is dead, ladies and gentlemen, okay, deceased. Jesus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has vacated his earthly meat prison. I know
Speaker 3: you're sitting around like Uncle Sharla Whyle. Would you ever
Speaker 3: give a dead man donkey today? Well, it is possible
Speaker 3: to die dumb, and I want to reiterate that Matthew
Speaker 3: was one of the insurrectionists who was pardoned by President Trump.
Speaker 3: The FBI said he was at the Capitol for several
Speaker 3: hours during the riots and into the building for approximately
Speaker 3: ten minutes. He was sentenced to six months in federal
Speaker 3: prison and twelve months on supervised release. But according to
Speaker 3: the Indiana State Police Criminal Investigation's Division, he was pulled
Speaker 3: over by the Jasper County Sheriff's Department for a traffic
Speaker 3: stop and he was allegedly resisting arrests. You don't say
Speaker 3: a Capitol riot rider had zero respect for law enforcement
Speaker 3: and resisted arrest.
Speaker 4: No, let's go to NBC newstory report Police Hulbert.
Speaker 1: Man, recently pardoned by President Trump for starting the Capitol
Speaker 1: in January sixth, was shot and killed by an Indiana
Speaker 1: sheriff steputy yesterday afternoon. This's happened during a traffic stop.
Speaker 1: The police account of what happened is that the deputy
Speaker 1: pulled over forty two year old Matthew Huddle on State
Speaker 1: Road fourteen year the Jasper County line around four to
Speaker 1: fifteen to the afternoon. When the deputy tried to arrest Huddle,
Speaker 1: they say here, resisted. There was an altercation that led
Speaker 1: to the deputy firing his gun, killing Huddle. Police go
Speaker 1: on to say that Huddle had a gun, but it's
Speaker 1: unclear what led up to that shooting.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 1: Huddle was just pardoned days ago for a misdemeanor related
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty one Capital riot. He was originally
Speaker 1: sentenced to six months in federal prison.
Speaker 3: Once again, a Capitol Riot rioter had zero respectful law
Speaker 3: enforcement and resisted arrest. Listen, I'm just here to give
Speaker 3: people the credit they deserve for being stupid, and I'm
Speaker 3: here to inform y'all you're making your president look bad.
Speaker 19: Now.
Speaker 3: I know folks don't listen to vice presidents. We learned
Speaker 3: that very well during the last administration.
Speaker 2: But JD.
Speaker 3: Van said something that made a lot of sense in
Speaker 3: regards to the January sixth part is it was very logical.
Speaker 4: Listen, it's very simple.
Speaker 20: Look, if you protest peacefully on January the sixth, and
Speaker 20: you've had merrit Garland's Department of Justice treat you like
Speaker 20: a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed
Speaker 20: violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And
Speaker 20: there's a little bit of a gray area there, but
Speaker 20: we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law.
Speaker 20: And there are a lot of people, we think in
Speaker 20: the wake of January the sixth, who were prosecuted unfairly.
Speaker 4: We need to rectify that.
Speaker 15: Well.
Speaker 3: I wanted to part where he said pardon should be
Speaker 3: done on a case by case basis, but you know,
Speaker 3: I never get what I want around here. But yes,
Speaker 3: pardon should be done on a case by case basis.
Speaker 3: And these three cases I just named some of those cases,
Speaker 3: all right. Number One, Daniel and Andrew were both violent
Speaker 3: towards police. That should disqualified him for a pardon, according
Speaker 3: to JD. Vance, I agree, okay. Second, Andrew was out
Speaker 3: here allegedly soliciting minors online. And Daniel had a federal
Speaker 3: gun charge and got rearrested as soon as he was
Speaker 3: as soon as he was released. Okay, If Trump would
Speaker 3: have done these pardons on a case by case basis,
Speaker 3: like his vice president said, he would have seen that
Speaker 3: and made the right decision. Okay, Matthew Huddle. I hate
Speaker 3: that you lost your life to law enforcement. They said
Speaker 3: allegedly it was resistant the rest you had a gun.
Speaker 3: It's hard to give you the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 3: because we saw how these domestic terrorists known as Vanilla
Speaker 3: Ice has treated law enforcement on January sixth. I'm honestly
Speaker 3: shocked y'all didn't get shot and killed then.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
Speaker 4: You had the complexion for the protection, all right.
Speaker 3: The things more often did not tend to work out,
Speaker 3: but clearly they didn't work out this time for you
Speaker 3: because you're dead. Look all the insurrectionists capital rioters, please
Speaker 3: understand that double jeopardy in your case isn't the second
Speaker 3: round okay on the game show, all right, nor does
Speaker 3: it give you a.
Speaker 4: Second chance to break the law.
Speaker 3: I just want to make people aware of who these
Speaker 3: people are who got these pardons.
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the NBC News for that report. Please.
Speaker 30: This is probably the trickle of stories we're gonna get
Speaker 30: on January sixth. Going forward, it'll be about people who
Speaker 30: committed other crimes outside of this. Because remember, while there
Speaker 30: were certainly a lot of people who stroveing the Capitol
Speaker 30: on January sixth and didn't have like a long criminal
Speaker 30: record and might even have a no criminal record at all,
Speaker 30: and we're u upstanding citizens otherwise according to their neighbors,
Speaker 30: there was this whole contingent of these January sixth riders
Speaker 30: who had some really awful criminal histories behind them. I
Speaker 30: mean know, domestic abuse, really ugly assaults on their partners
Speaker 30: and wives, child molestation cases, you know, these dy cases.
Speaker 30: There's a lot of drug problems, a lot of a
Speaker 30: lot of alcohol problems. And now I think some of
Speaker 30: these January sixth prosecutors are wondering, you know, what's going
Speaker 30: to be the next what's going to be the next
Speaker 30: story to drop?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just remember everything Trump is doing, America gave him
Speaker 3: the power to do. Okay, he was voted in as
Speaker 3: president and he asked full control of government, all three
Speaker 3: branches of government. So everything he's doing you have the
Speaker 3: constitutional right to do. Doesn't mean it's right, but sadly
Speaker 3: it's the American way. Please give Matthew Huddle, Daniel Charles Ball,
Speaker 3: and Andrew take the biggest he hull. In fact, like
Speaker 3: Kathy Griffin, give him the biggest he huh.
Speaker 4: Please give this giant jar Mal the biggest heathw YEA
Speaker 4: heavy on those sours. Yes, that is crazy. Mm I
Speaker 4: doubt it.
Speaker 2: I doubt it too.
Speaker 6: All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Indeed,

Speaker 6: us now. Derek is an ex executive from PEPSI. He

Speaker 29: The last title, I was President of PepsiCo Multicultural North America,
Speaker 29: so for the entire corporation.
Speaker 4: Basically D.
Speaker 29: Before D, it wasn't D, So I want to clarify
Speaker 29: the D and I there it was D, and I
Speaker 29: had its own department. I was all about focusing on
Speaker 29: consumer culture in community and so I was. Primarily throughout
Speaker 29: my career, I was an operating executive, So I ran
Speaker 29: the P and L. I had billions of dollars responsibility.
Speaker 29: At one point I was running North America and then
Speaker 29: we did a restructure and I went soon the South
Speaker 29: the South responsibility as president. And then at the tail
Speaker 29: end that run, which is about three years, we delivered
Speaker 29: fantastic results and we developed such a good playbook at
Speaker 29: the time because COVID was involved in George Floyd, situations
Speaker 29: evolved and we had developed such a good model on
Speaker 29: you know, culture, community and company that the company asked
Speaker 29: me to step in and create this big role for
Speaker 29: the entire corporation using the best practice that we developed
Speaker 29: in sort of the suther the United States and be
Speaker 29: able to start to implement that.
Speaker 12: So that was the last role that I had had
Speaker 12: in coment.
Speaker 29: Primarily throughout my career, I was I was all put
Speaker 29: in sales and driving profit, driving market share. It was
Speaker 29: getting after it in the trenches each and every single day.
Speaker 2: You were one of the first people corporate wise, right.
Speaker 6: I graduated from Hampton a long time ago, so I
Speaker 6: would go to all these different homecomings, but you would
Speaker 6: probably want of the first to bring huge corporations to
Speaker 6: all the HBCUs, right, not just the big ones, because
Speaker 6: you know, it's easy to just to go to the
Speaker 6: big ones where North Carolina A and T, which is
Speaker 6: the biggest university as far as students are, you know, concerned,
Speaker 6: or a FAMU which is a big university. Why was
Speaker 6: it so important to you to do that HBCU running
Speaker 6: to show up at those HBCU schools when other corporations weren't,
Speaker 6: but they started following after you did.
Speaker 29: Absolute it's all about legacy, right, and so my SPCU
Speaker 29: experience at Hampton was absolutely fascinating, incredible, and so to
Speaker 29: be able to take that experience build that you know,
Speaker 29: sort of legacy not only through the corporate side, investing
Speaker 29: not only just events activational on campus.
Speaker 12: But also recruitment. I recruited heavily on HBCU campuses.
Speaker 29: I pushed hard to have recruitment centers go down to
Speaker 29: these schools, not just in called Mid Atlantic area.
Speaker 12: But also down throughout the Southwest.
Speaker 29: I was responsible for setting up the Swack partnership that
Speaker 29: we still enjoy today. That has been now a long
Speaker 29: term partnership and agreement based on the schools that are
Speaker 29: in Swack, great schools, great campuses. Certainly the activation mainly
Speaker 29: revolves around sports, but I took that and extend that
Speaker 29: to recruitment and also community effort right and so me
Speaker 29: it's a whole sort of end to end proposition, not
Speaker 29: just about the parties and social side. It's also about jobs.
Speaker 29: It's also about what we're doing in the community. It's
Speaker 29: also about setting up legacy for the future.
Speaker 7: When you in the open end of your book you
Speaker 7: talk about going through like all of the pandemic and
Speaker 7: the riots that happened after George Floyod and my Ibubury,
Speaker 7: and you realizing like, I'm not an activist, but I
Speaker 7: do want to do something because I know what it's
Speaker 7: like to not know what's going to happen tomorrow. When
Speaker 7: did you get to a point of your career where
Speaker 7: you felt empowered to be like, my activism is in
Speaker 7: the boardroom, and this is what I'm going to do
Speaker 7: because being like only or like one a few In
Speaker 7: a big corporation like a Pepsi, it's not easy to
Speaker 7: be like, you know what, y'all listen to me, this
Speaker 7: is what we need to do, This is how we
Speaker 7: should get back, this how we should help.
Speaker 12: That's a great question.
Speaker 29: I think mid career I felt that responsibility now because
Speaker 29: I was starting to really move up in your organization,
Speaker 29: and there weren't many people at the top, and so
Speaker 29: a lot of the younger associates looked for me for
Speaker 29: a guidance direction, and so I just started creating networks
Speaker 29: across kind. I moved around a lot, so you know,
Speaker 29: when I ended up in the West Coast, I would
Speaker 29: we would be at a national meeting and it would
Speaker 29: not be in common for me to call all the
Speaker 29: black associates to a hospitality event at the end of
Speaker 29: the night and we would have like one hundred people
Speaker 29: in the suite. I just go up, go rent a suite,
Speaker 29: go and get everybody together and just talk to them
Speaker 29: about their journey, what's going on, how I see the
Speaker 29: future of the company. I'm a historian of the culture
Speaker 29: at Pepsi, right, and that takes a hell of a
Speaker 29: lot of courage because of the only time, I'm worried.
Speaker 29: I have my own concerns in my own life about
Speaker 29: what's happening. But the time when someone leadership is needed,
Speaker 29: it was time for me to step in and step up.
Speaker 12: And I did that.
Speaker 29: I did it honorably and gracefully, humbly, and I was
Speaker 29: excited to do that. I was excited company gave me
Speaker 29: the platform to do that, and I think it turned
Speaker 29: out very very well for everybody.
Speaker 6: With companies taking DEI off the table, how would that
Speaker 6: affect the company like PEPSI, How would that affect those
Speaker 6: big companies? Since you've been there and you've seen whether
Speaker 6: they hired African Americans or minorities, how does that affect that?
Speaker 6: And do you think it's a good idea.
Speaker 29: I think they'll be fine because again, they're going back
Speaker 29: to their history. The history is so strong, and the
Speaker 29: torch passing from CEO to CEO has been really strong
Speaker 29: and solid. So it's like running is relay race that
Speaker 29: that never stops, right, So I feel like they'll be
Speaker 29: in good shape.
Speaker 12: I think for what I'm seeing now, it's not.
Speaker 29: Obviously it's unfortunate, but at the same time, as I
Speaker 29: talked about my book, a lot it's an opportunity. Right,
Speaker 29: So while there, you know, looks appeared to be a setback,
Speaker 29: there's times for now leaders, companies, cultures to step up
Speaker 29: to the plate.
Speaker 12: It's about people.
Speaker 29: And so even this case where you're telling a cohort
Speaker 29: that we're demphasizingself to deprioritize in, you have necessarily come
Speaker 29: back with something that you're doing to to offset that,
Speaker 29: something in that revolves greater good, more collaboration, sort of
Speaker 29: more sensitivity around things are going on.
Speaker 12: That's how you treat people.
Speaker 29: And right, so that lack of sort of compassion that
Speaker 29: is being shown in the we're cutting it and we're
Speaker 29: not talking about really anything else, I think is just
Speaker 29: not good. So I think this is a time for
Speaker 29: leadership to step up to the plate. It's not hard
Speaker 29: to write this new play, but by the way, should
Speaker 29: have been read a long time ago, at least like
Speaker 29: myself could have done it. I could almost feel in
Speaker 29: twenty twenty what was happening. It was a more in
Speaker 29: your face moment. Everybody was going to get on board
Speaker 29: because no one wanted to be left behind or deal
Speaker 29: with the rash of being sort of on the outside
Speaker 29: looking at And then obviously what happens is time moves on.
Speaker 12: Things move on.
Speaker 29: They really really weren't any call it scorecard metrics or
Speaker 29: calibration against what you said and what you were going
Speaker 29: to go do to Now can anybody go back and
Speaker 29: even remember what people said back in twenty twenty, right,
Speaker 29: So there was always a question around sustainability of that effort.
Speaker 3: I can remember, I can remember them pleaguing all that
Speaker 3: money to them qualifications and not delivering.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, right, there was a lot of money, a
Speaker 2: lot of checks written.
Speaker 12: Yeah, ton of checks written.
Speaker 29: But where are we to a lot of pleasures with
Speaker 29: no checks with exactly exactly exactly you had to happen too, right,
Speaker 29: And so you have people, you know, in a quiet
Speaker 29: way of resisting or just reacting instead of really reimagining
Speaker 29: what the new playbook be. So we actually took the
Speaker 29: time to reimagine the old D and I into something
Speaker 29: more modern that focused again on being more comprehensive, certainly
Speaker 29: being more collaborative, and being more compassionate.
Speaker 12: We can get there.
Speaker 29: That's not hard to do, by the way, It's not
Speaker 29: hard also to execute that plan. What's hard is getting
Speaker 29: everybody on board.
Speaker 2: All we got more with Derek Lewis when we come back.
Speaker 6: He has a new book out, lessons on living a
Speaker 6: life without compromise, sur Vibe Avance, Keep it Locked. This
Speaker 6: the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Morning, Everybody's dj n V
Speaker 6: Jess Larry's Charlamage, the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 6: Lauren has here with us as well. We're still kicking
Speaker 6: it with Derek Lewis, former executive from PEPSI, also graduated
Speaker 6: from Hampton University. He has a new book, Survived and Advance,
Speaker 6: lessons on living a Life without Compromise.
Speaker 2: Charllemagne, do you know I.
Speaker 3: Always said that the problem I had a corporate DEI.
Speaker 3: It didn't feel for us, by us like it should
Speaker 3: have been more. It should have been black people right
Speaker 3: telling these corporations right, what is needed right, not in
Speaker 3: these corporations saying okay, here, this is what we're going
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 11: What.
Speaker 29: That's the difference with a PEPSI is that we were
Speaker 29: always at the table, you know, throughout the history of time,
Speaker 29: whether it was a black salesforce back in the forties
Speaker 29: up until modern era. I was at the table when
Speaker 29: these programs were being developed and had a point of
Speaker 29: view and have perspective and I give all the cities
Speaker 29: credit to all the CEOs who listened, who adapted, who
Speaker 29: empowered the executives take.
Speaker 12: Charge, And I would do the same thing.
Speaker 29: I would have asked the employees instead of putting your
Speaker 29: head down with all this, now you're empowered to do
Speaker 29: something about it. I believe in the structure of rg's
Speaker 29: andployee resource groups, and I believe you have to have
Speaker 29: places to be safe where you're If you feel isolated
Speaker 29: in the company, no matter where you come from, you
Speaker 29: have to have a place to go and should go.
Speaker 29: And so those things should structurally stay in place. But
Speaker 29: it's up also incoming upon those groups to lead a
Speaker 29: new agenda for the future. Not keep looking up going
Speaker 29: where we're going, where we're going. Guess gout you're looking up.
Speaker 29: There's nobody. There's nobody looks like you up at the top. Okay,
Speaker 29: think about it. CEOs right now fourteen five hundred less
Speaker 29: than two percent, So how much progress is that really
Speaker 29: from the nineteen sixties and now we have two percent
Speaker 29: less than two percent of people running the top five
Speaker 29: runner companies the world. They're qualified people out there, there's
Speaker 29: no doubt about I'm one of those qualified people. Are
Speaker 29: gonna run a forty five hundred company. So I'm not
Speaker 29: trying to do that now. But I'm out here and
Speaker 29: there's hundreds, if not thousands of people like me that
Speaker 29: are qualified, but they're not getting the opportunities. So in
Speaker 29: some regard you can look at, did the de structure
Speaker 29: actually hurt progress from people over and because of this
Speaker 29: received you're getting an express card check the box, you know,
Speaker 29: a fast mover, you know, without sort of having the
Speaker 29: merit and having the credential to do that. I think
Speaker 29: there were a lot of conservas and hell, it actually
Speaker 29: held a lot of people back. So let's re adding this,
Speaker 29: Let's rebuild it. Let's not while we respect the ground
Speaker 29: and nature of how it was built. Let's evolve into
Speaker 29: a way that is more comprehensive, more collaborative, and more compassionate.
Speaker 12: And we get there.
Speaker 29: Everybody wins. You can't have winners and losers in the space.
Speaker 29: You can't have mandates in the space.
Speaker 2: I was there.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you this right because I love
Speaker 3: the title of the book Surviving Advanced Lessons on living
Speaker 3: a life without compromising.
Speaker 4: It's rooted in the DEI thing. Right now, you have
Speaker 4: a lot of.
Speaker 3: People saying they want a boycott Target because they rolled
Speaker 3: back their DEI initiative, which I don't get it. You know,
Speaker 3: it's a lot of different companies that roll back the
Speaker 3: why just Target, But what they're saying is they want
Speaker 3: to make an example out of this one company. But
Speaker 3: then now people are saying, hey, let's need let's do
Speaker 3: a compromise, let's support the black brands in Target with
Speaker 3: boycott everything else. What do you what do you think
Speaker 3: the best course of action?
Speaker 29: I think the best course of action again is I
Speaker 29: think I think leaders around the space, people who have experienced,
Speaker 29: people who have you know, dealt with struggle in their
Speaker 29: life like I have, who've been through a journey I've
Speaker 29: been through HPCUS need to lead a new agenda, need
Speaker 29: to lead a more modern agenda. That again I go
Speaker 29: to these same three Ce's right, that is absolutely more
Speaker 29: comprehensive going this this boycott angle and only supporting this
Speaker 29: support and that that's not the answer. Hither, that's not
Speaker 29: the answer. It's very short term. Yeah, it drives a
Speaker 29: lot of engagement, but it's not the right answer. You're
Speaker 29: going to increase, even increase polarization to even a greater extent.
Speaker 29: When you do that, our chance, our time is now
Speaker 29: to look at this as a positive in terms of
Speaker 29: change and creating new change for the culture, and do
Speaker 29: it in the right way that's going to create the statement.
Speaker 29: Doing these sort of side hustles and taking these tactics
Speaker 29: that are abrupt, abrasive, temporary don't solve the long term problems.
Speaker 29: I'm into solving the long term problem. Let's solve the
Speaker 29: long term problem. Let's get people leaders together with the
Speaker 29: corporation and say, hey, we want to take a different
Speaker 29: cut at this. That takes real strategic leadership, that takes
Speaker 29: real sort of collaboration and maturity to pull this off
Speaker 29: and not look at it with your head down, look
Speaker 29: at what your head up on, what's the future look
Speaker 29: like in the space, and having people to be table
Speaker 29: to do that, we'll get us to the right space.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about you. You come up with
Speaker 2: your wife as well.
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, how long you've been married. We've been married
Speaker 12: thirty two years.
Speaker 2: Now, explain how that is. Having the right partner by
Speaker 2: your side.
Speaker 12: It's met everything, it's been me and showing me.
Speaker 6: Talk about it all the time. With the right partner
Speaker 6: that keeps you out of trouble. I'm doing foolish and
Speaker 6: sometimes she got a smack in the back of your head.
Speaker 6: So talk about that journey, about having that right partner
Speaker 6: on your side to make sure that you yeah.
Speaker 29: I mean, it really has been the key to the
Speaker 29: success I've had. And I talk about this a lot,
Speaker 29: especially recently. We've been talking about a lot. Is our
Speaker 29: line shared vision on how we want to do live
Speaker 29: our lives.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 29: The story at Hampton, you know, it was volatil we met.
Speaker 29: I was a senior, she was a freshman. Things didn't
Speaker 29: work out. They worked out great at beginning, but as
Speaker 29: you know, those things are temporary down there, didn't work out.
Speaker 2: I moved on.
Speaker 29: I wanted to be this Go get my job, go
Speaker 29: establish some income, go buy my first house. Before I
Speaker 29: started taking relationship seriously, it was a big mistake that
Speaker 29: I'm glad didn't cost me because I wouldn't be here
Speaker 29: now if if she wasn't part of my life. But
Speaker 29: we reunited, Tom Heels, I matured, I came back. I
Speaker 29: saw the value, true value she brought to the table,
Speaker 29: and I knew all along that our vision on family,
Speaker 29: our vision on career, our visional community our visional faith
Speaker 29: were so aligned that it was it was obvious for
Speaker 29: me to say, hey, I need to lock this down
Speaker 29: right because I knew that the place I wanted to
Speaker 29: go go, I absolutely had to have a partner that
Speaker 29: was willing to go along with that ride, and that
Speaker 29: that ride wasn't going to have lumps to it. So
Speaker 29: a lot of sacrifice that we had, but we've built
Speaker 29: the family we wanted to build. We call ourselves Team Lewis.
Speaker 29: She's the co captain or she's actually the chief household
Speaker 29: officers I would tell, would say to her and been
Speaker 29: a over part of all that. But shared vision has
Speaker 29: been the absolute focal point of our success. Leaning on
Speaker 29: each other, trusting each other, grinding each other. She's made
Speaker 29: me better. I would like to see have made her better,
Speaker 29: but she certainly has made me better in this whole journey.
Speaker 7: And there's a point in the book, not the statistic,
Speaker 7: and this point in the book just talking about your
Speaker 7: wife and leaning on her. You talk about like your
Speaker 7: journey with like finding out that you had a cancer's
Speaker 7: mass and just things you overlooked because you were working
Speaker 7: and just you know, just in day to day and
Speaker 7: the title of the book survived. In advance, you talked
Speaker 7: about feeling like you survived and you got away from
Speaker 7: a lot of things and didn't have to worry about
Speaker 7: what was going to happen next to your life. And
Speaker 7: then you're super successful and then cancer comes your wife.
Speaker 7: Is there any families there? Like, can you talk to
Speaker 7: me about like what that journey was like for you?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 7: All the way, You're still you kind of get emotional, right, Yeah,
Speaker 7: that was great.
Speaker 29: That was It was a tough time, right. I mean,
Speaker 29: I'm retired now, I'm playing a lot of golf and
Speaker 29: I'm having the time of life. And then I started
Speaker 29: seeing blood in my stool. And again, sloppy for me,
Speaker 29: undisciplined for me. I never had a colonoscary, you know.
Speaker 29: And so here I am fifty six and every year
Speaker 29: I go get my executive physical check in the box
Speaker 29: and doctor's like, hey, Derek, is you're over fifty hours?
Speaker 29: Time to get your coloscar. I'm like, I got you,
Speaker 29: I got you, I got you. But I'm going back
Speaker 29: to the grind. I'm going back to the grind. I'm
Speaker 29: focused on people. I wasn't scared. I just ignored I
Speaker 29: deprioritized it. I made it feel like my executive physical
Speaker 29: was good. I'm feeling good. The boxes were.
Speaker 7: Checked, said, you had all the best doctors.
Speaker 29: Yeah, your cognitive skills were good, your motor skills the
Speaker 29: highest they've ever been. You know, your blood comes back fine,
Speaker 29: You're good. So I'm like, I'm good man. I got
Speaker 29: to get back to the grind, and I ignored it was.
Speaker 29: It was a terrible decision. I don't want anybody out
Speaker 29: there that is fifty or over and has not had
Speaker 29: a colonoscary. Now, as a matter of fact, you you
Speaker 29: started getting younger. Now, I started a lot younger.
Speaker 4: I think it went down to forty five of them,
Speaker 4: depending on your family history.
Speaker 12: A lot of has to do with your family history.
Speaker 12: But the earlier the better.
Speaker 29: So there's no there's no such thing as an early
Speaker 29: start with checking out your checking out yourself in that regard.
Speaker 12: And so it was.
Speaker 29: It was a terrible decision. It would have cost my life.
Speaker 29: But my wife was fully behind me. She took it
Speaker 29: actually hard than I did. But she was a rock
Speaker 29: and this whole thing, and I wouldn't have got through
Speaker 29: it and that at that level if it wasn't for
Speaker 29: her and her support. She came through big time, and
Speaker 29: my network came through big time, and it was one
Speaker 29: of the most incredible experiences. I say, I say in
Speaker 29: the same breath. It was the hardest lesson I learned.
Speaker 29: It's also the greatest lesson I learned at the same time,
Speaker 29: because I got a lot of runway left and that
Speaker 29: you just motivated me now for the next thirty some
Speaker 29: years of my life to go after in ways that
Speaker 29: I haven't gone before. It refueled me and re energized me.
Speaker 29: It put me in a different space and again this
Speaker 29: whole notion of going being a go giver. Man, I'm
Speaker 29: in that space and I see the vision of what
Speaker 29: the future holds for that. That's right, all right, Well.
Speaker 6: Pick up the book his memoir, Survive in Advance, lessons

Speaker 7: So people have been coming out about the show really
Speaker 7: bad and talking about how they hate the way that
Speaker 7: the show portrays the women who are married to these athletes,
Speaker 7: because there's so much more to these women apparently right,
Speaker 7: like they're supposed to just be running businesses, managing mom
Speaker 7: life while traveling with the athlete husbands. But all you
Speaker 7: see on the show is like, I hate you, I'm
Speaker 7: judging you. Cherrelle literally told Stony, who is the ex
Speaker 7: of Rick Ross, I don't want to be your friend
