Speaker 1: Trying an I'm figuring it out for some reason, that
Speaker 1: the solid holding down the bay rage let me agitator,
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Everyone just kept ling the one word
Speaker 1: to describe the breakfast club. Who impacting the culture? People
Speaker 1: watch the breakfast Club for like news and really be
Speaker 1: tuned in. Man, I don't even know what to call it.
Speaker 1: The breakfast club. It's like brunch, NB Yea and Cholomagne.
Speaker 1: Wake that ass up, get out of bed and listen
Speaker 1: to the breakfast Club. I'm wasting. Good morning Usa yo
Speaker 1: yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Speaker 1: yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo,
Speaker 1: Good morning Angela ye good money, Damni Cholo Migne, the
Speaker 1: guy peace to the plane. It is Tunda, Yes, yes, Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's definitely too that morning. I gotta walk in and
Speaker 1: deal with Drake's number one fan, DJ Drammo's first thing,
Speaker 1: first thing in the morning. Lord ha Mercy, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to y'all argument. I had the same argument
Speaker 1: with Dogan last night, the same that's all. Just listening
Speaker 1: to y'all is it a generational thing, what it might be? Argument? Well,
Speaker 1: for me, it was Logan told me that Drake is
Speaker 1: the best artist ever, and I told that it was
Speaker 1: jay Z. And we went back and forth about records,
Speaker 1: We went back and forth about influence, We went back
Speaker 1: and forth about time out. You gotta be specific. You
Speaker 1: can't just say artists, because when y'all start talking like that,
Speaker 1: then that's when I tell everybody to shut the f
Speaker 1: up forever because you discredited in The Princess and the
Speaker 1: Michael Jackings when I yes, yeah, yeah, So I had
Speaker 1: that argument last night. So hey, you guys argue about that.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a larus because I just
Speaker 1: had that argument with Logan last night. Listen. One thing
Speaker 1: I will not say is that you can't you can't
Speaker 1: not have Drake in that conversation. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: sit here and say he shouldn't even belong in the conversation.
Speaker 1: It's definitely in the conversation, right. But Luka didn't grow
Speaker 1: up listening to jay Z like in the era that. No,
Speaker 1: he didn't, but he knows whole Yeah, he knows whole songs.
Speaker 1: He knows he knows Drake songs. He knows the impact.
Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time. And no disrespect
Speaker 1: to Drake, but it's I can't put jay Z in
Speaker 1: Drake's category or in Kanye's category. That is me. Once
Speaker 1: you have a writer, it's totally Drake. Drake is definitely
Speaker 1: you can put definitely argue Drake and Kanye because Kanye
Speaker 1: got writers too, like you put them in the same category,
Speaker 1: but somebody who doesn't have it. And also I also
Speaker 1: tell my son, like jay Z was from a hustler's mentality,
Speaker 1: it's from I came from Queens. I wanted to get
Speaker 1: out of Queens, and he kind of felt like he
Speaker 1: wrapped my life. You know. Drake is he doesn't wrap
Speaker 1: from that that that place. He wraps from his own
Speaker 1: personal experiences. My son relates to my son relates to
Speaker 1: Drake more than he relates to Jake. That's listen. Drake
Speaker 1: is great, Okay, the number two, the number three songs
Speaker 1: in the country, which I'm sure we'll talk about later
Speaker 1: on in the show. Correct he can still gets busy.
Speaker 1: But it just I don't know that you really here
Speaker 1: the two of them. I don't know that you could
Speaker 1: really compare them who I don't know because I just
Speaker 1: felt like it's the music has evolved so much, how
Speaker 1: we listen to music has evolved, streaming, numbers, all of it.
Speaker 1: So what are we talking about? We're talking about music?
Speaker 1: Are we talking about numbers? See? That's what that's where
Speaker 1: the lines get blurred. I's it's our perspective. It's who
Speaker 1: you personally like. If Logan grew up listening to Drake,
Speaker 1: that's personally who he likes. That's what he relates to.
Speaker 1: Then to him, that's the best. Yeah, yeah, I because
Speaker 1: because one thing I'm tired of y'all doing also too,
Speaker 1: is discrediting that young man from La named Kung Fu
Speaker 1: Kenny okay, who's been dominant for the past decade, but
Speaker 1: just because he takes breaks and sometimes it's out of sight,
Speaker 1: out of mind. That's why I can't wait till he drops.
Speaker 1: So we can everybody can start the West Coast licking again,
Speaker 1: because it's going to happen. It's a different category. It's
Speaker 1: not rap rap rapp. This is what we do. We
Speaker 1: are We just bait rappers. Okay, there was the time
Speaker 1: where you argued about who the best them see was
Speaker 1: Biggie jay Z and nah, you argue Biggi in Biggie
Speaker 1: in poc. Now you're arguing that Drakes and still talking
Speaker 1: about Jay in the conversation and the Kendricks. Okay, it happens. Correct. Well,
Speaker 1: last night was last Name was dating that. I know
Speaker 1: you don't care, but last night was the season finale
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. How's your So you watched that? Over
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets versus the New York Knicks. I went
Speaker 1: back and forth and Nets, what what we're crushing the Knicks.
Speaker 1: So I was able to go back and forth. But
Speaker 1: the game got very closer to n seventeen one twelve. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: the third quarter they were up by like so many
Speaker 1: house like they cut it too, like three at one
Speaker 1: point if I'm not oh no, I left that game.
Speaker 1: I was like, Knicks lost this one. So I went
Speaker 1: back to Matt James. Okay, all right, well, ratchlin Nation.
Speaker 1: It was a good one. But I'm sure we'll talk
Speaker 1: about it in rumors now. Jim Jones will be joining
Speaker 1: us this morning. We'll kick it with Jim Jones. Copple
Speaker 1: be in the building, and not only Jim Jones. We

Speaker 1: All right. The front page news is next what we're
Speaker 1: talking about. Yes, and let's talk about this vaccine. Everybody's
Speaker 1: talking about how you gonna get it? Is it safe? Well?
Speaker 1: The White House is a lot ching a campaign, and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you all about it. All right. We'll get
Speaker 1: into that. Nextus to Breakfast Club, Go Morning wanting. Everybody
Speaker 1: is j Envy, Angela, Guie Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news where
Speaker 1: were starting me, Well, let's start with the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: They're planning to launch a COVID nineteen vaccine promotion campaign,
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty million dollar ad campaign, and
Speaker 1: that's aimed at people here who are hesitant to get
Speaker 1: the vaccine. So they said, the government is going to
Speaker 1: be doing advertising on TV, radio, billboards, print and digital media.
Speaker 1: They're also doing a podcast posted by a well known
Speaker 1: person outside of the government as well, in order to
Speaker 1: encourage people to get the vaccine, because, according to a
Speaker 1: new CNN Paul they said, more than twenty five percent
Speaker 1: of Americans don't intend to get a COVID vaccine. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking anyone who was taking the vaccine. I'm
Speaker 1: not an anti vaxer at all. But you know, no advertising,
Speaker 1: a podcast is going to be able to build up,
Speaker 1: you know, a trust in a matter of months, because
Speaker 1: this is sent treason injuries of years of distrust, especially
Speaker 1: when it comes to the institution in the medicals, through
Speaker 1: racism in the medical institution. Well, according to health officials,
Speaker 1: eighty percent of Americans need to be vaccinated to keep
Speaker 1: the virus from spreading. So that's why it's important and
Speaker 1: right now it's spring break and US air travel has
Speaker 1: had a pandemic high as a lot of people are
Speaker 1: going to sunny features. It's trying a party, they said.
Speaker 1: On both Friday and Sunday, more than one point three
Speaker 1: million people were screened at airports by the TSA, and
Speaker 1: that's the most since coronavirus has hit travel a year ago.
Speaker 1: And they be acting like black people don't have valid reasons,
Speaker 1: you know, and not to trust the vaccine. And then
Speaker 1: when you ask them, okay, well why should I trusted
Speaker 1: based on all the years and years of racism in
Speaker 1: the medical system towards black people, watch it I trusted.
Speaker 1: They just look at you stupid, like, oh, there's a
Speaker 1: crap shoot, Like you said, it is a crap shoot.
Speaker 1: We just don't know. I mean, you heard people die.
Speaker 1: And the first thing they say is they took the
Speaker 1: vaccine shot. And it could be true. It can't be.
Speaker 1: We just don't know how anything affects the body. We
Speaker 1: don't know if you catch COVID, how it affects your body.
Speaker 1: I know people who were fine and didn't even know
Speaker 1: when I know people that were damn neil and ventilators.
Speaker 1: You know, same thing with the vaccine. You just don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't know. I took the crap
Speaker 1: shoot me personally because I move around, I travel, so
Speaker 1: I'd rather have, you know, be more protective. But you
Speaker 1: just don't know, all right. A family in Indianapolis says
Speaker 1: an argument over stimulus check is what led to four
Speaker 1: people getting killed a quadruple murder, and called her a child. Yes,
Speaker 1: the shooting took place, yeah, on Saturday. So the suspect,
Speaker 1: Malik Halfacre, he approached giannetris More about his belief that
Speaker 1: he should get half of her stimulus check. She has
Speaker 1: two young daughters, one of them is with Malik, and
Speaker 1: a cousin of Moore said that he wanted some of
Speaker 1: her tax money and stimulus money. She said, according to
Speaker 1: a conversation that she heard, she said, you don't deserve
Speaker 1: any of this. I work, I take care of our child.
Speaker 1: You don't do anything. He said, I really want half.
Speaker 1: She said, I'll give you four fifty take it or
Speaker 1: leave it. And he said, I'm gonna get that money.
Speaker 1: So then he waited outside of her home, and he
Speaker 1: said Jennetris said, he gave her an evil look and
Speaker 1: then he walked off and then he came back and
Speaker 1: demanded to know where the money was. He went through
Speaker 1: her purse and then they said at that point he
Speaker 1: shot and killed four people. The dead people were identified
Speaker 1: by the family as Genetus's seven year old daughter Eve,
Speaker 1: her twenty three year old brother de Quan, her forty
Speaker 1: four year old mother to Mika Brown, and her thirty
Speaker 1: five year old cousin, Anthony Johnson's Genius. Herself was also
Speaker 1: wounded in her other who she shares with Malik, has
Speaker 1: been reported missing, and now Malik is on the run. Well,
Speaker 1: prayers up for that family, sending the remaining surviving members
Speaker 1: of that family healing energy. But I'm gonna tell y'all something, Man,
Speaker 1: if you're killing people over the fourteen hundred dollars stimulus check,
Speaker 1: you can't afford to go to jail. Now you in
Speaker 1: jail with a bond, that's crazy if you get one
Speaker 1: at all, like you can't like, well, you got to
Speaker 1: think about these things before you make these these permanent
Speaker 1: decisions based off temporary feelings. Yeah, he killed four people.
Speaker 1: I don't think he can get even fourteen hundred, right,
Speaker 1: I guess he wanted the whole thing, but over fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred hours. He would a part of it. I think
Speaker 1: he just would part. I don't think he wanted to
Speaker 1: hold I've been in four fifty. She offered him four fifty,
Speaker 1: and he said, no way. She takes care of the child.
Speaker 1: Why would I give you the whole stimulus check You
Speaker 1: can't even afford to go to jail. All right, well
Speaker 1: that's your front page news. So again, arrest in peace

Speaker 1: talking about it enough that hey, Charlottage just hey, congratulations
Speaker 1: to that man. All right, we'll get to the next
Speaker 1: The breakfast club aboarding Geese, the breakfast club morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's go right,
Speaker 1: I like is the Rumor Report with Angela Ye on
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Well, Drake's the latest Scary Hours installing Scary
Speaker 1: Hours two has made chart history. He is the first
Speaker 1: artist to ever debut three tracks simultaneously in the top three.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to him. Okay, let's get to Drake. Let's
Speaker 1: stay here for a second. I have thoughts. I have
Speaker 1: three thoughts, Okay, one of them number one. First off,
Speaker 1: congrats to Drake dropping a clue box with Drake that
Speaker 1: as an incredible feat. I asked the question a few
Speaker 1: months ago, and the question was simply, are we still
Speaker 1: in a Drake era when you're number one, two and
Speaker 1: three on the charts. I think that answers your question
Speaker 1: when it comes to screaming, When it comes to radio,
Speaker 1: he's still the guy that top three may not reflect
Speaker 1: what's happening in the clubs are in a slightly younger demo,
Speaker 1: but he's still the guy in regard to the radio
Speaker 1: and screaming. Yeah. Did you ask the question or did
Speaker 1: you make a statement? No question? No, I didn't. Okay,
Speaker 1: I ask the question. I never made that statement. The
Speaker 1: internet is a liar. I never said Drake fell off. Okay,
Speaker 1: I actually said Drake is Drake, so I expect numbers
Speaker 1: on the board one, two, and three is unreal. This
Speaker 1: is my second thought, by the way, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: screaming and radio manipulate the game in ways we've never seen.
Speaker 1: But we forget all that, all right, Believe this is
Speaker 1: a statement. The pressure is really on for Drake right
Speaker 1: now because the three pack is dope, and I like
Speaker 1: the energy at the three pack. Okay, the energy Drake
Speaker 1: had on Lemon Pepper when he was killing that talk.
Speaker 1: These days famous disconnected from excellence Half the time, I
Speaker 1: gotta ask in words what their profession is usher in
Speaker 1: a generation and these are way my confessions. Live bars
Speaker 1: dropped on a clues bomp for those bars. That was incredible.
Speaker 1: But the pressure is on because with certified love a boy,
Speaker 1: I'm expecting an undeniable body of work. When I think
Speaker 1: of the greats like the Holes and the Nazis and
Speaker 1: the little ways these guys were giving us classics much
Speaker 1: later in their career, whether it was the Blueprint, still
Speaker 1: Mad at Card to three, I'm expecting the level of
Speaker 1: project from Drake at this I'm expecting that level of
Speaker 1: project from Drake at this point. This I think we'll
Speaker 1: get that. I think we'll get that this time around.
Speaker 1: What I've been hearing from Drake in the last couple
Speaker 1: of songs but releasing is I've enjoyed these last three,
Speaker 1: these last three and even when with Dirk, even one
Speaker 1: with Dirt particular, it's cool, it's cool, but those four.
Speaker 1: But it's a new decade. He had a decade of
Speaker 1: dominance in the twenty tens. Now it's time to plan
Speaker 1: a flag for a new decade. Make a real statement.
Speaker 1: That's my second thought and my third point since nine points.
Speaker 1: My third point on Drake's storage feet being number one,
Speaker 1: two and three in the country is simply this. He cheated.
Speaker 1: He cheated something, all right. Don't let the hard cut
Speaker 1: in his head fool you. Aubrey Graham is a demon
Speaker 1: who doesn't play fair. He cheated. I can't prove it.
Speaker 1: I have nothing to back this. No, it might just
Speaker 1: be pure I hate no, No, I'm not standing on
Speaker 1: nothing with this. I just think he cheated him Baca,
Speaker 1: not nice pop con. They cheated. Don't let the nice
Speaker 1: Canadian ting fool you. Okay, I recognize the demon when
Speaker 1: I see one, excellent. I want him drug tested for
Speaker 1: performance enhancing. I need to see Drake's bur certificates. Drake, well,
Speaker 1: congrats and the song he did once He Needs with
Speaker 1: a Little Baby is Little Baby's highest charting song yet.
Speaker 1: It's a six top ten on the Hot one hundred
Speaker 1: drop on a clue bums for Drake Levin Pepper Freestyle
Speaker 1: is woman Pepper freestyle, but all jokes aside. The pressures
Speaker 1: offer certified love a boy only only because he's Drake,
Speaker 1: he set, he set the ball for himself. So I'm
Speaker 1: expecting an undeniable classic which certified love a boy. That's
Speaker 1: what I That's what I want, and I'm sure that's
Speaker 1: what he's aiming for right he has no choice. And
Speaker 1: as this news broke, Drake was hanging out with bow Wow,
Speaker 1: and that is somebody who has really opened doors for him.
Speaker 1: Here is Drake and bow Wow. I didn't know how
Speaker 1: it's to bring in one, two three. I had you know,
Speaker 1: we don't come on man, we Georgia. I want to
Speaker 1: call into your local station as I want to thank
Speaker 1: you man. I love it. Thank y'all, I love it.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. When you make history and
Speaker 1: you got the number one, number two three song in
Speaker 1: the country. You go and you pay homage to your oldgs,
Speaker 1: dropping the clues bombs with Drake paying homage bow with you?
Speaker 1: Now you know what I was partying with bout Wow
Speaker 1: last two weeks ago and I was in the landing
Speaker 1: to grow up the battle. You need to grow up, Wow,
Speaker 1: you need to grow up. But I don't know what
Speaker 1: you No. It was you know Mono, the guy that
Speaker 1: taught me how the DJ was spending. And when I
Speaker 1: was in the land, I went to go visit him.
Speaker 1: It was bow Wow's birthday party. You need to up, Drake,
Speaker 1: and you're like, Wow, he was you just need to
Speaker 1: grow up. Mono's my guy. He told me how the
Speaker 1: DJ he could be whatever. But yeah, I love the
Speaker 1: fact that he paid homage though, slut respect your oldgs. Now,
Speaker 1: you just need to connect with soldier boy, that's your
Speaker 1: old gut up. Is really showing more respect to bow Wow? Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I had to link with Whistle. Everybody everybody wants to
Speaker 1: have drinks and everybody wants to celebrate and turn up. Well,
Speaker 1: I just had to see Whistle. That's that's why it
Speaker 1: wasn't for you. That wouldn't be no me, And that's
Speaker 1: why I'm a more dropped on the cluth bomb from Drake.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Pay homage to your old cheese.
Speaker 1: You know when I worked at UP, when I worked
Speaker 1: at Serious and I had that don't quit your day job,
Speaker 1: and Drake was on before he got signed, people were
Speaker 1: calling in telling him he sounded like bow wow, and
Speaker 1: he was like, man, thank you, thank you. So I
Speaker 1: guess early on, I don't think that ever happened. I
Speaker 1: would never disrespect I'm not disrespecting Bawa. I just don't
Speaker 1: think that ever happened. The audio is on the internet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've gotta hear that. That's it. Yeah, you can hear

Speaker 1: Material twenty twenty one. I love what these brands are doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I love that. I wish that we would
Speaker 1: own more of our own lines, but the fact that
Speaker 1: these brands are finally breaking bread with with the people
Speaker 1: that are influenced, whether it's Dapper Day and whether it's Gucci,
Speaker 1: whether it's Louis Vatton, whether it's Virgil or what he's doing,
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, twenty one does more for Lloyd
Speaker 1: than Louis does for twenty one. That's my opinion, I think.

Speaker 1: be dominant soon. Oh my goodness. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that next keeping locked this to Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same.

Speaker 1: Let's get into some front page news. Where we starting you, Well,
Speaker 1: let's start with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. They are
Speaker 1: set to face each other in the ring, according to
Speaker 1: multiple media outlets, and according to ESPN, they have signed
Speaker 1: a contract to meet in a pair of matches expected
Speaker 1: to take place in twenty twenty one. I'm believing when
Speaker 1: it hapnis. They still are looking for a site and
Speaker 1: they're still looking for the money, said. According to WAS
Speaker 1: promoter Eddie Herney said that our parties have now put
Speaker 1: pen to paper and we will be working hard over
Speaker 1: the next few weeks to confirm the site and date
Speaker 1: for the biggest fight in boxes. Yeah, they're looking for
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars plus site. I don't know where
Speaker 1: they're going to find that during this pandemic. I really don't.
Speaker 1: They say the Middle East point. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know all right now, speaking of this pandemic, a concerning
Speaker 1: variant is about to become dominant in the United States,
Speaker 1: according to experts, and they are also saying how we
Speaker 1: act now could help fuel or curb assert So some
Speaker 1: people are worried. Experts are worried that some Americans are
Speaker 1: letting up too early. And it's a very critical time
Speaker 1: as people are easing COVID nineteen restrictions in different states
Speaker 1: because of improving trends and growing vaccination numbers. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, a lot of people are traveling right now.
Speaker 1: We already told you earlier for spring break, a lot
Speaker 1: of people have been going to Florida and other sunny regions.
Speaker 1: All of this while cases of a dangerous variant are
Speaker 1: on the right, and that is a variant that was
Speaker 1: first identified in the UK. So they said safety measures
Speaker 1: will be especially crucial. Right now. They're saying that this
Speaker 1: particular variant is highly transmissible, so it is a lot
Speaker 1: more transmissible than other ones, and it's also more deadly
Speaker 1: than other coronavirus variants, So people cannot ease up on
Speaker 1: wearing their masks and social distancing and not gathering indoors.
Speaker 1: So just giving y'all that morning, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means. Yeah, they don't think going to shut the
Speaker 1: country back down though, But I don't know what it means. Like,
Speaker 1: what is that? So is the virus is here? You
Speaker 1: said it's here? What did they say? They've identified it
Speaker 1: in forty eight different states already, So when they say
Speaker 1: it's about to be dominant, what does that mean? Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like it's spreading pretty quickly because
Speaker 1: it's highly transmissible. So they're saying by the end of
Speaker 1: this month or early April, they are projecting the way
Speaker 1: that it's spreading, because it's highly contagious, it will become
Speaker 1: the dominant variant. Is it deadlier? Because I know that
Speaker 1: there was there was other variants that were super contagious.
Speaker 1: What they not as dead one as deadly? Is it
Speaker 1: is it deadlier or as deadly or what is it?
Speaker 1: They said, the overall increased risk of death may be
Speaker 1: somewhat higher, around sixty one percent more than the strings.
Speaker 1: What about the vaccine is the vaccine does that fight
Speaker 1: it off? The good news is that vaccinations are ramping up.
Speaker 1: Experts are hoping that we'll be able to see some
Speaker 1: normality by the summertime. And so, yes, the vaccine is effective,
Speaker 1: and that's important. But what they're saying is, right now,
Speaker 1: just make sure you're still wearing your mask, You're still
Speaker 1: social distancing, still trying to remain outdoors and all of
Speaker 1: those things. You got the vaccine in your book bag.
Speaker 1: I got two different types of sea moss, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. One is the gold that's for sexual
Speaker 1: in of course. The other one is just the regular
Speaker 1: one that I take every morning, just you know, wanted
Speaker 1: to pull that out. I gotta take next. Little reminded
Speaker 1: to take sea moss. You'd be careful in their dramas,
Speaker 1: you're gonna take the gold. Michael Ramos and Gammraman Nick

Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody in Steve j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a
Speaker 1: special guest in the building. Jim Jones. Come o, what's
Speaker 1: up with your What are you not doing nowadays? Couple?
Speaker 1: I see everything I see cryptocurrency. I see athletics, I
Speaker 1: see studios that see you doing weather, Like, what are
Speaker 1: you not doing? Barrojuana quarantine studios. There's a whole lot.
Speaker 1: You gotta name a whole lot more. You got football team,
Speaker 1: you gotta name a whole lot getting Jimmy do it
Speaker 1: a lot. I've been I've been trying to trying to
Speaker 1: figure out my hustle. I mean, you know, to be rich,
Speaker 1: you gotta do more than one thing. So I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to following the footsteps of those that came before me.
Speaker 1: Absolutely tell us about the cryptocurrency thing. I saw the coin,
Speaker 1: I was like, I feel not him to the cryptocurrency game. Um,
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency is dope. UM, the space just for uh, for
Speaker 1: the culture is dope. It's it's definitely like the wild
Speaker 1: Wild West when it comes to making money. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: you got the big coin and then you that's on
Speaker 1: his own thing, and then you have coins that they
Speaker 1: have on a theory and basis is like the next
Speaker 1: biggest platform for the cryptocurrency. UM. I was fortun enough
Speaker 1: to create my own coin, which is the capital coin
Speaker 1: on zap Theory platform. And zap Theory is actually on
Speaker 1: a theory m platform. So if you have ether right now,
Speaker 1: you can purchase the capital coin. Um, but in a
Speaker 1: few weeks you'll be able to purchase the capital coin.
Speaker 1: What's your actual credit card? And I've been doing like
Speaker 1: these little uh these little virtual parties and showing people
Speaker 1: how to get invested in the capital coin. And then
Speaker 1: you know, there's the other thing people have been talking
Speaker 1: about is NFTs, which is non fungible tokens, which is
Speaker 1: another big thing. Um, that's pretty much I call it
Speaker 1: like a digital baseball card if to make so people
Speaker 1: can understand it a little bit more gets a little
Speaker 1: bit more intricate than that, but the money is definitely
Speaker 1: for real, definitely serious. Um, It's probably the next biggest
Speaker 1: way you can make some money since the marijuana started
Speaker 1: becoming legal, and before that, I guess it was the
Speaker 1: dot com and before that like prohibition and with all
Speaker 1: the goal in America. So now cryptocurrency is the next
Speaker 1: thing up to for people to get rich and create
Speaker 1: a wealth word Jim NBC Like, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I've been studying, well, I've been learning
Speaker 1: about it. Usually when I get into something and I
Speaker 1: learned to understand it, I could flip it in a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways as anybody else. So these spaces
Speaker 1: and spaces I would like to be in. Plus, I
Speaker 1: always like to be at the custom of everything, or
Speaker 1: step ahead of everything, especially when it comes to the culture,
Speaker 1: because once the culture gets involved and it gets it
Speaker 1: comes commercializing is a good thing because it's a flood
Speaker 1: of money that comes o the way that we get
Speaker 1: to circulate. I have no idea what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: but I need to learn. Well, right now, you can
Speaker 1: take because you're the owner of your books, right you
Speaker 1: could take a picture of your book and sell as
Speaker 1: an NFT and somebody would have the only digital copy
Speaker 1: of the cover of your books and they're going to
Speaker 1: buy it for some change. Maybe we should do that together.
Speaker 1: You give me a chance. I can help you out
Speaker 1: with I'm with that hanging on your I phone. You
Speaker 1: take a picture of this book right here on your
Speaker 1: I phone. You did, and then they do they give
Speaker 1: it to the people with the zap zap theory that
Speaker 1: helps us out with doing all of and they put
Speaker 1: it up for sell of NFT. Charlemagne has a picture
Speaker 1: of us. And even though you can take a picture
Speaker 1: of every page on this motherfu sell it as a
Speaker 1: whole group and make it and then the whole book
Speaker 1: will go out all whatever pages to be out with
Speaker 1: different people. When people can start to try to acquire
Speaker 1: the whole book and out, then pretty soon the whole
Speaker 1: book of somebody have the whole book as an NFT
Speaker 1: that they own. That's like just as powerful as you
Speaker 1: being an author of the book. Then that would probably
Speaker 1: be worth all type of money. So so many things
Speaker 1: that you could do. Is no rules inside of this
Speaker 1: space as long as you understand how to be creative
Speaker 1: with making money and selling whatever it is. Yet you're
Speaker 1: selling from artists to music to you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: There's no like the owner of Scott Tissue could take
Speaker 1: a picture of the first Scott tissue and probably make
Speaker 1: a slow money and that. So it just depends to
Speaker 1: who you are. The more impressionable you are, the more
Speaker 1: success you have. Nine times to intend it's better for
Speaker 1: the sale of that NFT. Wow, So hey, we could
Speaker 1: take this interview and they get an NF and then
Speaker 1: just sell it like that and somebody we could cut
Speaker 1: it up a few different ways. So you don't just
Speaker 1: want to sell a whole thing as one NFT. You
Speaker 1: want to sell it a feud as a five different NFT.
Speaker 1: So then when you put it out in the space,
Speaker 1: somebody actually wants to acquire the whole thing as they
Speaker 1: own NFT and that becomes a money maker in itself,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get paid five different ways for splicing
Speaker 1: this UH interview up. Maybe we should do that too,
Speaker 1: since we're talking about it, what is Quarantine Studio? Explain
Speaker 1: to people a quarantine studio and how you maximize that.
Speaker 1: I actually I think I met one of your partners
Speaker 1: this weekend in UH Atlanta. Yes, yes, the virtue. It
Speaker 1: was trying to tell me how to do the interactive seminar.
Speaker 1: The virtual reality. Yes, we have a virtual reality company,
Speaker 1: you know with the goggles or you could just put
Speaker 1: it on your phone where you could go actually space. Um.
Speaker 1: But Quarantine Studios is made up of two parts. The
Speaker 1: first part was services for artists, I mean artists and
Speaker 1: people all alike him and I say services, I mean
Speaker 1: whatever a record label can offer to to anybody as well,
Speaker 1: we can offer to anybody from touch as DJs as
Speaker 1: dj VY was one of the few first few people
Speaker 1: who understood what I was trying to do and That's
Speaker 1: why I appreciate them for this helping me out. I
Speaker 1: think every dope too, man, because I was trying to
Speaker 1: get them trying to get a crib and I'm at
Speaker 1: your envy. I'm trying to get this crib right now.
Speaker 1: I need you to. He gave me some good people
Speaker 1: to help me out, so I appreciate that. But back
Speaker 1: to Quarantine Studios. So, whether you need a entertainment lawyer,
Speaker 1: a publicist, public administration, you need some DJ's to give
Speaker 1: you a drop, or you need some features from an artist,
Speaker 1: graphic design, whatever it is that your heart desire that
Speaker 1: you need something a service from out of this industry
Speaker 1: is where we could provide. Now on the flip side,
Speaker 1: there's a techie type platform that we created where I
Speaker 1: figured out how how to record music in real time
Speaker 1: in the virtual space with Danny zero latency, which is
Speaker 1: almost impossible for right now for people to pull off
Speaker 1: in the capacity that we do it. Now, there's people
Speaker 1: out there that do record like that, and shout outs
Speaker 1: to Drake and forty and the way they do they
Speaker 1: recording process. But this is a little bit iller um,
Speaker 1: not to say knocking anybody, but I figured out a
Speaker 1: dope way to really pull us off and would people
Speaker 1: be able to pay to watch come in the studio
Speaker 1: with me? Um Like he said, we got the virtual
Speaker 1: reality component where people could actually come into the space
Speaker 1: that we actually are recording the music out or whatever.
Speaker 1: Man um and it's dope. I recorded five albums. Shouts
Speaker 1: to Heat Made, Shout the hit Makers, Young Bird, shous
Speaker 1: the heat Maker's awesomeess. Shouts to Scram Jones, h souths
Speaker 1: to Harry Freud, the project of that dis trap. I
Speaker 1: still haven't met Harry Faud. Yes, I still haven't met
Speaker 1: Harry Fraud in person yet. Mean yes, Harry Freud and
Speaker 1: Harry Freud and John Sparks we were the collective group
Speaker 1: to create the tech, the techie component of Quaunching Studios
Speaker 1: to help me figure out that whole loop and how
Speaker 1: to record it and virtually so that we could create
Speaker 1: the album. And that was the first album that I
Speaker 1: did on Quarantine Studios. All right. We got on with
Speaker 1: Jim Jones when we come back, Don't Move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Come Morning Morning, Everybody's DJ. Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy we are. The Breakfast Club was still
Speaker 1: kicking it with Jim Jones Charlomagne May. I'll be sitting
Speaker 1: back thinking, I wonder, if you think about it, how
Speaker 1: much money do you think y'all would have made? Like
Speaker 1: when y'all when dip set was putting out diplomats vaul
Speaker 1: On one at vaumb two three, if y'all had all
Speaker 1: these resources that y'all had on social media, yeah, oh man,
Speaker 1: we probably we'd probably be two. We've probably been bugged
Speaker 1: out already, he said, filthy rich. I mean, just no
Speaker 1: kids have now. I only wish I wish we had
Speaker 1: back then. I mean, you know, they got their pros
Speaker 1: and cons to everything, because the way we were living
Speaker 1: was definitely not to be recorded at that time. But
Speaker 1: for the entertainment purposes and the business purposes here this
Speaker 1: this where the catapulted us into iconic levels at at
Speaker 1: an early age, you know what I mean, because of
Speaker 1: the access that you have when it comes to the
Speaker 1: incident and social media. So are we getting are y'all
Speaker 1: working there? Because y'all, I see cam running around or
Speaker 1: we're gonna get another dip Set out and we were
Speaker 1: waiting for this tour. Is this the time to do
Speaker 1: it now? Yes, it's definitely the time to do it now.
Speaker 1: You know, Dwells not too far from me. Some all's
Speaker 1: over there. Bucking Jewell's has some incredible music right now.
Speaker 1: I've just been on his back to actually drop some
Speaker 1: of it. Some of the music shouts to Cam. Cam
Speaker 1: is at a great space in life right now. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't know what's how they explain it,
Speaker 1: but just to see him being happy and being doing
Speaker 1: the things that he want to do and I following
Speaker 1: the crowd, and you know, it's just dope. And he say,
Speaker 1: you're ready to do music anytime, I'm ready, and you know,
Speaker 1: so as a collective effort, we definitely gonna come together
Speaker 1: and put this music together very soon. We got a
Speaker 1: couple of concerts coming up next month and a couple
Speaker 1: of the states that are opened up them spicy states.
Speaker 1: So that's pretty dope. They gotta let you control everything, though, Jim,
Speaker 1: because I've been saying that Jim has been making the
Speaker 1: best music out of New York's city for the past
Speaker 1: few years. That's a big statement, bro. I don't want
Speaker 1: these little trying to jump me damn by that. Why
Speaker 1: do you think you're not getting recognized for that though. Um,
Speaker 1: if I was worried about getting recognized for that, then
Speaker 1: I would be I'll be a dude during a disservice
Speaker 1: to myself. All of that's gonna come the same way
Speaker 1: that you recognize that trust and belief. Everybody else recognizes
Speaker 1: it too also. But to actually give a person its
Speaker 1: accolades out loud and and have to succumb to those
Speaker 1: facts that, Man, maybe this is the one. Maybe it
Speaker 1: takes a little bit more time, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: stop digging until that happens. I'm gonna keep making this
Speaker 1: incredible music. I don't I'm in the very dope spot
Speaker 1: in my life when it comes to making music. Um,
Speaker 1: probably one of the few they say that got better
Speaker 1: with time as a fan, and I'm loving it. Um
Speaker 1: got some more tricks up my sleeve. Um, I would
Speaker 1: listen to the radio show, and I appreciate everything that
Speaker 1: you've been saying when it comes to who I am
Speaker 1: as an artist and a businessman and the accumen that
Speaker 1: I put out there, Like that's dope. Like a lot
Speaker 1: of people wouldn't do that, especially not in your position,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it's a very powerful
Speaker 1: position that you'll have up here as a collective. And
Speaker 1: just to even mention my name in a positive way,
Speaker 1: I mean it means that's big for you, know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But truth, But to mention my name in
Speaker 1: the way inside this business with people would have to
Speaker 1: start to do they due diligence something. Really, what I
Speaker 1: do is even bigger for me. So just a little
Speaker 1: comments like that soon or later gonna come around full circle. Well,
Speaker 1: I do believe somebody put me in a position so
Speaker 1: I could show the industry really what I could do.
Speaker 1: Would you ever take another job in the building? One
Speaker 1: hundred percent? When I took the job at the building,
Speaker 1: shouts to Kevin Lyle, shouts to Leo Cohen. They gave
Speaker 1: me one of the biggest opportunities I've had in my
Speaker 1: life when they came to being UM executive UM. And
Speaker 1: at that time, I was very young and didn't have
Speaker 1: nobody to show me exactly what I should be doing
Speaker 1: in my position as far as the responsible the responsibility
Speaker 1: I had. Yeah, I was creative and I knew how
Speaker 1: to pull talent, but to need to be in a
Speaker 1: full executive I didn't have it back then. And now
Speaker 1: where I'm at now, knowing that I had to get
Speaker 1: another opportunity as that one. I would smoke it like
Speaker 1: smoke the boots over because I know what I can
Speaker 1: I can do, and I know what I want to do,
Speaker 1: and I got my strength. Restrain is much different, my
Speaker 1: focal point is much different. So you know, we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. What do you think you did wrong when
Speaker 1: you was an executive in that building? Uh, I would say,
Speaker 1: I guess I had a problem with authority and they
Speaker 1: put me in a position of a boss. But at
Speaker 1: that time, I was still kind of fresh out the
Speaker 1: street and I kind of did what I wanted to
Speaker 1: do and put me in a building. It was like
Speaker 1: taking an animal out the cage and put them in
Speaker 1: the middle of New York City. Um, so I didn't
Speaker 1: know how to gauge that. Yeah, I was bringing my
Speaker 1: outside into side the office and it wasn't mixing, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to separate the two. And now
Speaker 1: I got that, you know what I mean, where I'm not,
Speaker 1: I'm not in the same space I was before, and
Speaker 1: I definitely don't do the things that I've done when
Speaker 1: I was younger. So it's a perfect time for me
Speaker 1: to expand who I am as far as an executive
Speaker 1: using my mind in this industry to help make other
Speaker 1: people some stars out here, which I know I could
Speaker 1: do with some of the artists that that came through
Speaker 1: you that you knew could have been stars and if
Speaker 1: you had that opportunity, that opportunity with a sign them
Speaker 1: because so many had no artists passed through you. Let's see,
Speaker 1: Jay Cole used to be in my studio every day
Speaker 1: for the whole making a prey for rain and things
Speaker 1: like that, so you know I had access to him.
Speaker 1: I remember Alan calling me years and years ago, putting,
Speaker 1: let me hear this uh guy that sound like a nerd,
Speaker 1: but he was wrapping his ass off. His name was Drake,
Speaker 1: and he was asking me exactly what I should do
Speaker 1: with this kid. And then he told me the kid
Speaker 1: was an actor and he's on TV. And I ended
Speaker 1: up seeing the show he did. I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell are we gonna do with
Speaker 1: this kid? But he can't he can wrap his ass
Speaker 1: off and shouts to Bobby and Rowdy and them boys.
Speaker 1: TRAVI used to bring them to the studio. So I
Speaker 1: had my hands in the mix of a lot of
Speaker 1: different things, not saying that I was trying to sign them,
Speaker 1: but just being able to be there at those pivotal
Speaker 1: moments for them, artists right before they who signed to
Speaker 1: dealing things like that. I know, I was able to
Speaker 1: help them understand a little bit more what this game
Speaker 1: is gonna be about and things like that, And that's
Speaker 1: what I'm here for. I always like to give people
Speaker 1: knowledge because they saying this games to be so not told.
Speaker 1: And I'm one of the few that put people up
Speaker 1: on game. How you how are you gonna make money?
Speaker 1: You did, like if there was only one person that
Speaker 1: kept the secrets to cooking up, then how was the
Speaker 1: rest of the hood gonna make money? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like somebody had to tell it, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure that I'm the person that
Speaker 1: telling some of these jumps is some some goal, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I to get cash in. How
Speaker 1: did you did Jim smooth about his temperament um? Time?
Speaker 1: First question should be it has Jim smoothed out a
Speaker 1: temperament um? Yeah? I have, I mean, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't I wouldn't suggest anybody to to you know,
Speaker 1: trying to cross that line because I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: better for myself and you know what I mean, and
Speaker 1: trying to put my energy in the right spot and
Speaker 1: things like that. My son and my family has a
Speaker 1: lot to do with it. As my son got older
Speaker 1: than I got older, and the thing the decisions that
Speaker 1: were making whether making sense, and their embarrassment that I
Speaker 1: was bringing home for a lot of decisions that I
Speaker 1: was making wasn't making sense. Um, I had to learn
Speaker 1: to move smoother if I wanted to continue to do
Speaker 1: the same things, and then moving smooth turns and then
Speaker 1: maybe these things you might not need to be doing
Speaker 1: anymore as you're getting older. And it's a lot, it's
Speaker 1: a lot. It's you know, I mean, I've been through
Speaker 1: a lot, bro Like I've been through a whole lot,
Speaker 1: not just even this industry, in life period, just coming
Speaker 1: up as a man. And at this point in time,
Speaker 1: I'm tired, you know what I mean. Like you not
Speaker 1: to say it like that, but I'm going to come

Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. I don't know how you guys don't
Speaker 1: watch The Bachelor and shut up, trash trash. I'm having
Speaker 1: my own issue. But you're staying in the hotel room
Speaker 1: if somebody had died in it, somebody died in your
Speaker 1: hotel room. I'm sure, mad, I'm sure we've all stayed
Speaker 1: in the hotel that somebody. Do you feel like they
Speaker 1: should tell you that. No, how do you know? How
Speaker 1: do you know that? Though? Like, how do you know
Speaker 1: somebody died there? Did you go someone had died in
Speaker 1: the house? Yeah, I bought a couple living in. I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't know where we're living in
Speaker 1: could have passed away. Like what what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: How do you know somebody died in your hotel rooms?
Speaker 1: I was stupid, you just realizing that it started. Now
Speaker 1: you're talking about dead people in hotels, not just talking
Speaker 1: about you don't watch that shows? What is it the
Speaker 1: Cisi hotel or whatever? Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was pretty entertaining, just stayed in the hotel somebody died
Speaker 1: in before when we was in Milwaukee, Slue to Milwaukee
Speaker 1: dropping a clue bumps in Milwaukee. I love Milwaukee. Everybody
Speaker 1: that listens to some view one hundred point seven. And
Speaker 1: we were staying in this hotel on the outskirts of
Speaker 1: Milwaukee when we um when I filmed Catfish and I
Speaker 1: was actually sleeping and I saw this shadowy figure on
Speaker 1: the wall. Listen to me, It's why nobody talked to y'all. Okay,
Speaker 1: how do we figure on the wall? And it looked
Speaker 1: like a guy holding a gun to somebody. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've been seeing things my whole life. So I just
Speaker 1: said a little prayer and went to sleep. And then
Speaker 1: the next morning they told me somebody had got shot
Speaker 1: and killed in the room. Was a guy naked? Man?
Speaker 1: Shut up? It wasn't there for you. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying? What what? What? What's fantasy to me? That
Speaker 1: sounds like to me that dramas only black people were temps.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just felt like it was racist. Okay, goodness,
Speaker 1: all right, Well we got rumors on the way. What
Speaker 1: we're talking about, boy, let's talk about these Grammy ratings.
Speaker 1: The numbers are in, all right, we'll get to that
Speaker 1: nextus to Breakfast Club. Comoris listen, Oh gosh, got Breakfast Club. Well,
Speaker 1: the Grammy ratings hit all time loads and viewership and
Speaker 1: key demo. So the final numbers are out and they're
Speaker 1: saying that right now, the eight point eight million that
Speaker 1: the Grammy scored is fifty three percent down from last
Speaker 1: year's results. Too much Bad Bunny. So when his Bad
Speaker 1: Bunny came on, man, people turned down. Always stop it.
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think people were excited about it.
Speaker 1: I didn't really hit much about it. It was not
Speaker 1: too much talk. I just wasn't I tell you what
Speaker 1: they miss thought, because this is an amazing Grammys I thought.
Speaker 1: I think part of it was, Yeah, people weren't doing
Speaker 1: like you know how they always have all these specials beforehand,
Speaker 1: the red carpet, and because a lot of people couldn't go,
Speaker 1: you know, it was just probably difficult. Grammys was great
Speaker 1: this year. I don't know what to tell people. Performances
Speaker 1: were great. I really, I really enjoyed the Grammys this year.
Speaker 1: The only thing is pop Smoke Pop Smoked want a Grammy,
Speaker 1: though as much as his contribution in his rookie year,
Speaker 1: he didn't. He shouldn't. Gotta listen. A lot of listen.
Speaker 1: A lot of people have issues with the Grammys, but
Speaker 1: Roddy Rich in particular is not excited about the fact
Speaker 1: that so many people actually dista Grammys. And he talks
Speaker 1: about Kanye West because remember Kanye urinated on his on
Speaker 1: a Grammy. Listened to this like the olderness, maybe hating
Speaker 1: on all the young nuns. And this is the reason
Speaker 1: why you don't see me with none of your favorite rappers.
Speaker 1: I get the Grammy show. We can talk about the
Speaker 1: Grammy Show all day long, like I don't want to
Speaker 1: be like older than is to be politick, and I
Speaker 1: feel like that's more so it should be the thing
Speaker 1: or where if I get nominated for six Grammys? And
Speaker 1: the guy looked to that that had twenty two, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five of these months and I come in here,
Speaker 1: I want to get nominated for six this year, this year.
Speaker 1: This just piss on that show, Like how you think
Speaker 1: that made the world? Look at my accomplishment? That's real
Speaker 1: dropping a clues moms, Roddy Rich, Roddy Rich. You know
Speaker 1: he really is not getting the credit he deserves out
Speaker 1: here if you're asking me, because he had a monster,
Speaker 1: monster year last year. But but I understand what he's
Speaker 1: saying because he's like, yo, he wants to win a Grammy,
Speaker 1: so imagine he wined one. But then you got og
Speaker 1: like Kanye who's done one several, just peeing on one,
Speaker 1: like the value in the air, Like not get what
Speaker 1: he's saying, right, And Little Wayne tweeted up the Grammy's
Speaker 1: money bag. Yeld said, I used to want to gram
Speaker 1: me so bad till I realize it and nothing but
Speaker 1: a trophy that don't determine who you is or what
Speaker 1: you're doing to accomplish. Stay focused. Money bag yields absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, none of these guys are wrong. You know,
Speaker 1: if you want one, cool, but it does not define you.
Speaker 1: You're still gonna wake up Roddy Rich today regardless. All right, now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Oscars. The Academy is liminating the
Speaker 1: Oscars to nominees and their guests. They've also canceled the
Speaker 1: Governor's Ball and the nominees lunch, so it will be
Speaker 1: in front of an in person audience that will consist
Speaker 1: only of the nominees and their guests and the show's presenters.
Speaker 1: So they're still planning to do it. And they did
Speaker 1: say that Oscar Week events from public screening to private receptions,
Speaker 1: the Governor's Ball that always follows the Oscar Show will
Speaker 1: not be held, and that was all schedule for the
Speaker 1: luncheon schedule for April fifteen, So they're not doing any
Speaker 1: of those things the week of because of the health
Speaker 1: and safety of the members. So we're not sure how
Speaker 1: the show's two venues, Adobe Theater and the Union Station
Speaker 1: in downtown LA would be used on the show, but
Speaker 1: it did say that the attendance at the show would
Speaker 1: be restricted. I mean, it makes sense they you know,
Speaker 1: and even at the Grammys you saw how empty it
Speaker 1: was there. So there you have it. Now, Envy, this
Speaker 1: story is for you. So I'm gonna need you to
Speaker 1: really talk about what happened on The Bachelor. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: so break it down for us, because you know none
Speaker 1: of us watch it. But Matt James did pick a winner,
Speaker 1: and then he ended up having to speak out on
Speaker 1: the Rachel's racism controversy and the finale. So can you
Speaker 1: tell us what happened? Yeah, So Matt James, of course
Speaker 1: is the black Bachelor, the first black Bachelor, and it
Speaker 1: was down to two girls. He picked the white woman.
Speaker 1: Her name is Rachel, and that was the woman he picked.
Speaker 1: It was between Rachel and Michelle. I believe her name
Speaker 1: was a black woman of white when he picked the
Speaker 1: white woman. And then it came out about all these
Speaker 1: things about Rachel, her liking allegedly Confederate flag pictures, her
Speaker 1: liking I would say, allegedly pro Trump pictures, and then
Speaker 1: going to an Antebellum party, and after hearing all that,
Speaker 1: he decided to break up with her and not continue
Speaker 1: on this journey with her. He uh, he told Emmanuel
Speaker 1: why he broke up with Rachel. As Rachel acknowledged in
Speaker 1: her apology, there's a lot of work that needs to
Speaker 1: be done. I have to take a step back and
Speaker 1: allow her to put in that work. And I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to seeing her put in that work. So you
Speaker 1: all no longer together? And what was that breakup conversation? Like?
Speaker 1: It was as tough as you can imagine, and it's
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking if you don't understand that something like that
Speaker 1: is problematic in twenty and eighteen, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: me that you won't understand. And it's except it's as
Speaker 1: simple as that. What the hell is this? I'm sure
Speaker 1: more people watched this in the Grammys, but it was,
Speaker 1: it was, it was entertaining. He definitely dead at her,
Speaker 1: and he decided to move on and said he couldn't
Speaker 1: move on with us. She was hurt, she was crying.
Speaker 1: She said she was sorry, m but it is it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, he picked her and it was a wrong
Speaker 1: pick for him. But the girl that he picked Rachel
Speaker 1: over Michelle, she's going to be the next contestant. She's
Speaker 1: gonna be a bachelorette and another girl. She's the one
Speaker 1: that when they first met, she brought the dial though
Speaker 1: she's also the one that told him that all the
Speaker 1: girls it was a toxic house. So she's going to
Speaker 1: be a bad at the party. Shut up. So this
Speaker 1: is the first time it's gonna be two bachelorette So
Speaker 1: it starts off with her season seventeen and then Michelle
Speaker 1: the Black Teacher season eighteen. So I'm excited about But
Speaker 1: here's Matt confronting Rachel about about the post and everything.
Speaker 1: The most disappointing thing for me was having to explain
Speaker 1: to you why what I saw was problematic and why
Speaker 1: I was so upset. When I'm in a relationship, that
Speaker 1: means that I'm committed to that person. And so when
Speaker 1: I questioned our relationship, it was in the context of
Speaker 1: you not fully understanding my blackness and what it means
Speaker 1: to be a black man in America. Nigga with me,
Speaker 1: fire kids. When I saw those things that were floating
Speaker 1: around the internet and then broke my heart. Who that prince?
Speaker 1: Who talk? No, that's Matt James bachelor, first black bachelor.
Speaker 1: I mean he you know, he picked he made the wrong,
Speaker 1: wrong pick. His mother is white, his dad is African,
Speaker 1: and I'm just talking and he picked the wrong one.
Speaker 1: And let me shout out to the host and Manuel
Speaker 1: Usa shout, we did a good job. Maybe it's a manual.
Speaker 1: Acho did a great job yesterday. Who it's not yours?
Speaker 1: What're not you got to do? Manual man? That's his name. Man.
Speaker 1: He did a good job, all right, Well that is
Speaker 1: your rumor. Thanks was petitioning for that job? Didn't work out?
Speaker 1: I wasn't petition and I just threw it out there.
Speaker 1: I threw it on the wall. But it's okay. You
Speaker 1: definitely petition. It's okay, not petitioning. You campaign campaign campaign, bro.
Speaker 1: You threw a little campaign campaign campaign. You did a
Speaker 1: whole little audition tape you did. You showed a little
Speaker 1: legs and you did a post about it. That was
Speaker 1: a joke. You stood on the corner and you showed
Speaker 1: a little leg. Nobody showed any interest, and you went
Speaker 1: back in the house. That's what happened. You had a
Speaker 1: rose and you remember, get the rose in your teeth.
Speaker 1: That's right. You went out there, you showed a little
Speaker 1: leg on the corner, like who want to buy some booty.
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to buy none. You went back in the house.
Speaker 1: If that's everything about booty with you? Like? Did never
Speaker 1: stop the booty back? Say nothing about booty? I say legs.
Speaker 1: You did, say, well, who are you giving you? Who
Speaker 1: are you giving your donkey to? Speaking of booty? Four asses?
Speaker 1: All right, Doctor Ben Carson and four Republican senators need
Speaker 1: to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like
Speaker 1: to have a word with you. Let's talk slavery this morning.
Speaker 1: Guys and gals. All right, we'll get to that next,
Speaker 1: so don't move. It's to breakfast, Clougal Morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same. Angela here and
Speaker 1: the General Insurance has been helping people save money for
Speaker 1: nearly sixty years. They offer the quality coverage you to
Speaker 1: servant prices you can afford. Make the right call and
Speaker 1: go with the General called eight hundred General or visit
Speaker 1: the General dot com. Some restrictions apply for Donkey of
Speaker 1: the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the
Speaker 1: day a little bit of a mc so like a
Speaker 1: dop the day. Donkey of the day is a new wife,
Speaker 1: heavy on the mayonnaise and the crackers this morning. Okay,
Speaker 1: donkey to day for Tuesday, March sixteenth goes to doctor
Speaker 1: Ben Carson and Memphis Senator Brian Kelsey, along with three
Speaker 1: other Republicans Senators. Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy on this one.
Speaker 1: In the case of doctor Ben Carson, there is mayonnaise
Speaker 1: in the tower. My brothers, my sisters. As much as
Speaker 1: we dislike government, local and federal here in America, we
Speaker 1: can't afford take no what's going on in this country. Okay,
Speaker 1: we cannot afford it. Know what's going on in our government,
Speaker 1: local and federal. We have to be involved, We have
Speaker 1: to be engaged. We have to really really pay attention
Speaker 1: to who we're putting in office. Now. I know doctor
Speaker 1: Ben Carston isn't a politician, but I'm giving out a
Speaker 1: lot of heat haws this morning. Because I wake up
Speaker 1: every day, I pray, I meditate, I read my daily Affirmations.
Speaker 1: I love the Daily Stores by Ryan Holliday dropping a
Speaker 1: clues bomps, b Ryan Holiday, that's my guy. Today's affirmation
Speaker 1: from March six teams spoke on appreciating the sacred part
Speaker 1: of you. Okay, what are the sacred parts of you?
Speaker 1: Or the fact that you have been blessed with the
Speaker 1: ability to reason and use logic. The Daily Store ex
Speaker 1: says verbatim this morning, seriously, what you take for granted?
Speaker 1: Others wouldn't even think the dream of something as simple
Speaker 1: as the ability to reason and use logic. We take
Speaker 1: that for granted, and we shouldn't because there's people like
Speaker 1: doctor Ben Carston amongst us. There are people like Senator
Speaker 1: Brian Kelsey amongst us. I don't care what degrees they have,
Speaker 1: how much education they have. I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: anything about being an academic because when you are making
Speaker 1: statements like the one doctor Ben Carston made, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tie it in with what Senator b and Kelsey
Speaker 1: said and the other three Republican senators in Tennessee, because
Speaker 1: it's all wanted the same to me, all right. Doctor
Speaker 1: Ben Carson, the former secretary of HUD was on the
Speaker 1: podcast Out Loud with Giano Cardwell and they were discussing
Speaker 1: the perception of black Republicans and doctor Ben Carson said this,
Speaker 1: I just remember, this is not anything that's any different
Speaker 1: than many many years ago during slavery. She ran away
Speaker 1: and you got caught. They didn't just kill you, then
Speaker 1: brought you back, and that they tormented you in front
Speaker 1: of everybody else so that they would get the lesson,
Speaker 1: do not run away. And it's the same lesson. Now,
Speaker 1: do not depart from what we told you. Do not
Speaker 1: think for yourself, and if you do, we're going to
Speaker 1: try to make an example of you so that other
Speaker 1: people won't do it. What the hell, doctor, Ben Carson?
Speaker 1: Have you ever eaten season chicken? I'm serious? Have you
Speaker 1: ever bitten to a piece of good ass Chrisprey Southern
Speaker 1: fried chicken? I can't hell, I hear you talk, and
Speaker 1: I can't even believe you're married to a black woman.
Speaker 1: God bless your wife, Candy Carson, but she cannot possibly
Speaker 1: sleep with a silk bonnet on her head. Okay, no, man, Okay,
Speaker 1: talking like that, it's impossible. Man, Now, you talk crazy,
Speaker 1: not you see. I have a problem with people equating
Speaker 1: anything to slavery. Okay, I'm sure I've made that mistake
Speaker 1: at some point in my life. But let's be clear.
Speaker 1: There is nothing that remotely compares the slavery except for prison.
Speaker 1: But that's only because prison is slavery. Thirteenth Amendment. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: do your Google's Okay, Google is your friend. Thirteenth Amendment
Speaker 1: abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. Okay,
Speaker 1: there is no correlation between slavery and anything you are
Speaker 1: going through, doctor Ben Carson. Okay, being a black Conservative
Speaker 1: is not like escaping the plantation. I really want someone
Speaker 1: to make a virtual reality experience. Notice I didn't say game,
Speaker 1: because slavery is not and has never never been a game, Okay,
Speaker 1: but an experience, because sometimes I wonder if y'all really
Speaker 1: understand what slavery was, Doctor Ben Carson. You know how
Speaker 1: you know you are far from a slave. It's because
Speaker 1: you're a neurosurgeon who went to the University of Michigan
Speaker 1: and Yale University, Doctor Ben. Slaves couldn't even read or write. Okay.
Speaker 1: Anti literacy laws in certain slaves states prevented that. I'm
Speaker 1: from one of them, South Carolina. You would get six
Speaker 1: months in prison and find a hundred pounds if you
Speaker 1: got caught teaching your slaves how to reading. Right, doctor Ben,
Speaker 1: your net worth is twenty six million dollars. Show me
Speaker 1: a slave that had twenty six million dollars. Okay, we
Speaker 1: must stop with these false equivalencis you're a black conservative.
Speaker 1: You have the freedom keyword freedom to choose to be
Speaker 1: a black conservative. Slaves slave did not freedom to do anything. Okay,
Speaker 1: doctor Ben Carson, I can't wait until you get your
Speaker 1: nigga wake up call. You hear me, Doctor Ben Old Listen,
Speaker 1: all negroes like doctor Ben eventually get that call from
Speaker 1: that phone that says any word on it, and when
Speaker 1: it rings, you got no choice but to pick up. Now,
Speaker 1: let's get to these cracker ass cracker senators. Okay, I
Speaker 1: dare you to get mad at me for calling these
Speaker 1: devils exactly what they are cracker ass. Cracker is not
Speaker 1: a slur. It's an adjective used to describe racist, bigoted, prejudiced, oppressive,
Speaker 1: evil people who want to kill me, your mama, and
Speaker 1: your cousin too, unless we licked their boots and sucked
Speaker 1: their kneecaps like the doctor Ben causes of the world.
Speaker 1: See Brian Kelsey, Frank Nesley, Janice Bowling, and Joey Hensley.
Speaker 1: Who are these people? They are four Republican centers senators
Speaker 1: centers to who voted against abolishing slavery. There go Uncle Charlotte,
Speaker 1: just talking out his Ass's twenty twenty one. What do
Speaker 1: you mean they voted against abolishing slavery? Slavery been abolished? Oh?
Speaker 1: Has it not? Everywhere? You better read the fine print
Speaker 1: of your state constitutions if you know what I know.
Speaker 1: Let's go to wm Let's go to WMC NBC five
Speaker 1: for the report place Tennessee is one step closer to
Speaker 1: abolishing slavery, which is still allowed in the state constitution.
Speaker 1: Memphis Senator Ramesh at Berry sponsored the bill to prohibit
Speaker 1: slavery under all circumstances. German Town Senator Brian Kelsey was
Speaker 1: one of four Republican senators who voted against removing the
Speaker 1: article from the constitution that allows slavery and involuntary servitude
Speaker 1: as punishment for people convicted of a quant The State
Speaker 1: House of Representatives will vote on the bill that passed Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Slavery is still allowed in the state constitution in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Would you like to hear why Brian Kelsey is voting
Speaker 1: no on abolishing slavery. Listen, because it doesn't do anything
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I would urge my colleagues
Speaker 1: to blue light this resolution. I'll be voting no. I
Speaker 1: just think it's ultimately fake history that the eighteen seventy
Speaker 1: Constitution allowed slavery. Fake history. But tell you talking about Brian,
Speaker 1: if it's so faked, and why wouldn't you abolish it?
Speaker 1: Why would you want something fake into constitution? And your
Speaker 1: speak constitution? Frank nicely, would you like to hear why
Speaker 1: he is not abolishing slavery. Listen, now, I'm a non
Speaker 1: lawyer and most of my voters are non lawyers, and
Speaker 1: I can't explain this amendment and words they can understand.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it in the Constitution to too sacred,
Speaker 1: to clutter up with a lot of stuff that non
Speaker 1: lawyers can't explain to other non lawyers. So I guess
Speaker 1: I'll be voting no on this. Nobody plays dumb like
Speaker 1: a white man who doesn't want to give you justice. Okay, Frank,
Speaker 1: acting like he don't understand. I tell you, Frankie, state
Speaker 1: constitution says slavery is still legal. We want to remove that.
Speaker 1: What's so complicated? Frank? Come on, dramas make me feel good?
Speaker 1: You know what I want to hear. Come on, come on,
Speaker 1: I ask, come on, come on, I am losing my
Speaker 1: mind in this country. Remember what I said earlier about
Speaker 1: my daily story affirmation, and we should feel blessed and
Speaker 1: grateful that we are able to reason and use logic.
Speaker 1: It is a gift, but woe was also a crush
Speaker 1: when you hit stuff like this. These are elected officials.
Speaker 1: These people are in charge of legislation. If I was
Speaker 1: black in Tendensee, I would migrate no off and let
Speaker 1: the doctor Bins of the world moved to Tendessee. I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: if you acquainting being a black conservative to being a slave,
Speaker 1: might as well go live where actual slavery is still allowed.
Speaker 1: How y'all colors feel no in tendency is not legally
Speaker 1: abolished slavery? Okay? The State House of Representatives is voting
Speaker 1: on the bill today. There's a queen name of ramus Akbari.
Speaker 1: I think is how you pronounce her name? If I
Speaker 1: pronounce your name wrong, I'm sorry. She is sponsoring the
Speaker 1: build a prohibit slavery under all circumstances. How crazy is
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty one, even here listen to her.
Speaker 1: This does do something because there's a difference between the
Speaker 1: word working and slavery. I've worked, I have never been
Speaker 1: a slave. That's a clear distinction. I'm proposing to close
Speaker 1: a loophole that has an exception for slavery for those
Speaker 1: who are duly convicted of a crime. And that's a
Speaker 1: strong message we can send as a state. What we
Speaker 1: are proposing is slavery and involuntary servitude are forever prohibited.
Speaker 1: Those are who were incarcerated can still have a job,
Speaker 1: like in the kitchen or the library. I would really
Speaker 1: ask that we he has a Senate as a body,
Speaker 1: close this loophole removes. You shouldn't even have to ask.
Speaker 1: This shouldn't even be a thing in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: but it is. Why, because this is America. A M
Speaker 1: E R I K k K A okay, please let
Speaker 1: m boy give doctor Ben Carson and Republican Senators Brian Kelsey,
Speaker 1: Frank Nicely, Janie Bowling, and Joey Hensley the biggest. He

Speaker 1: owned design firm in this country. Yes. Wow, Yes, what
Speaker 1: does that mean for you? Oh? Wow, that means everything
Speaker 1: to me. Um. You know, I have been this has
Speaker 1: been in my blood ever since I can't remember. You know,
Speaker 1: the best way to combat systemic racism is through entrepreneurship,
Speaker 1: Black ownership, Latino ownership. That's where it is. Um. There's
Speaker 1: not too many white owned companies that are six generations,
Speaker 1: and that's what's coming next. The sixth generation had a
Speaker 1: company start. For people that don't know, let's break down
Speaker 1: how this construction family created and you know, and how
Speaker 1: so many and how your generations of family members are
Speaker 1: continuing to push it off because sometimes you get people
Speaker 1: are like, you know what I've seen so much. I
Speaker 1: don't want to do construction. I want to do something else.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how this company was created. Hey,
Speaker 1: And that's a real feeling right there, because when you
Speaker 1: have it, you don't appreciate it. So I get what
Speaker 1: you're saying. But when I begin to understand the story
Speaker 1: that my great great grandfather was a slave and topped
Speaker 1: the trade of making bricks, and that at some point
Speaker 1: he received his freedom and he gave three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand bricks to a very wealthy family in
Speaker 1: Tennessee and they built the Cheers Mansion which is still
Speaker 1: standing owned by the Saturn Corporation. His son was known
Speaker 1: for his construction as well. He was a master builder.
Speaker 1: He built the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, where
Speaker 1: six presidents state and then his son, Moses mckinzick the third,
Speaker 1: My grandfather and great uncle are the first black license
Speaker 1: architects in the country with license one seventeen and one
Speaker 1: eighteen in the state of Tennessee. Wow, but if you
Speaker 1: can think about the fact that they incorporated in nineteen
Speaker 1: oh five, there were no architectural licensing laws at that time,
Speaker 1: so they had to old to school through correspondence and
Speaker 1: then show up in the deep prejudiced South in Tennessee
Speaker 1: to go take their license as two black men, their
Speaker 1: license exams and they were denied over and over again.
Speaker 1: They were denied. Um eventually they lobbied the board and
Speaker 1: found one board member who went to bat for them
Speaker 1: and said, you know, these two black men, let them
Speaker 1: take the test. They're not gonna pass or did anythink
Speaker 1: they could pass? And of course they passed. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then they didn't want to give them their license, but
Speaker 1: they did. And what's so interesting it's after they got
Speaker 1: their license and they were the first black license architects
Speaker 1: in the country, the board gained a lot of notoriety
Speaker 1: and so they went to bat for them to get
Speaker 1: their license in twenty two other states. Wow. And so
Speaker 1: they built black HBCUs, black collegists throughout the South, throughout
Speaker 1: the Northeast. They built at least six thousand black churches.
Speaker 1: Did you realize you had to carry on tradition? So
Speaker 1: I decided when I got out of college, I went
Speaker 1: to Howard. I have a master's degree in engineering that
Speaker 1: I didn't want to work for him because of company.
Speaker 1: And it goes back to what you were saying earlier.
Speaker 1: You know, you just take it for granted. I wanted
Speaker 1: to work for a large firm, large you know, majority
Speaker 1: construction firm, and that's exactly what I did. I worked
Speaker 1: for a national firm. But then my mother. After my
Speaker 1: father became ill, had to take over the business. And
Speaker 1: she called up my boss one day as she says,
Speaker 1: Chryl's quitting today. You got me on the phone and
Speaker 1: she says, Chryl, I need for you to come to Nashville.
Speaker 1: Pack your bags. You're gonna come here and help me
Speaker 1: run this business. So that's what I did. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the time, I was a little frustrated, but you know,
Speaker 1: it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now,
Speaker 1: the true your mom had no background in the business, none.
Speaker 1: She only knew the telephone number. However, she had a
Speaker 1: master's degree in psychology, which helped her with the manias
Speaker 1: and phobias around men who didn't think a woman could
Speaker 1: run a business. Let's couple that would being a black woman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she sued the city of Nashville, and she took over
Speaker 1: the business in nineteen eighty three. So in nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 1: women could not borrow money from banks. That did not
Speaker 1: happen until nineteen eighty eight with the Women's Business Act.
Speaker 1: So that's not even that long ago. Hey, Spike Lee
Speaker 1: was doing she had she's got to have it. Okay,
Speaker 1: the internet was just becoming, you know, public, if you
Speaker 1: could imagine, she couldn't borrow money. She was denied work
Speaker 1: at the airport in Nashville, Tennessee. So she sued the
Speaker 1: state and she opened up the doors for other black
Speaker 1: firms to get work. But she was black ball. So
Speaker 1: she was pretty tough, pretty powerful, and she was my mentor.
Speaker 1: She taught me a lot. She taught me about, you know,
Speaker 1: how to sell my business, how to do my elevator
Speaker 1: pitch way back then, how to do my ted talk,
Speaker 1: how do people treat you as a black woman. Well
Speaker 1: that's the story I'm getting to. So we are down
Speaker 1: in Alabama. We're going to the Board of Education, and
Speaker 1: my mom says, Cheryl, today you're doing a pitch. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it, You're doing it. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm scared to death. So we go into this man's office.
Speaker 1: I swear as the oldest white man I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and he just holds his head down and I am
Speaker 1: just talking away. I mean, you know, like I'm telling
Speaker 1: them all about our history and who we are. And
Speaker 1: he doesn't do anything. He just has his head down.
Speaker 1: When I get done, he stands up and he says,
Speaker 1: come here, little lady, and I go over to him
Speaker 1: and he shakes my hand and he finally lifts up
Speaker 1: his head. He said, I absolutely want to do business
Speaker 1: with you. Oh yeah, and your mom um twenty five, no,
Speaker 1: thirty like thirty thirty one, thirty two. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I learned a lot that day. You know, I learned
Speaker 1: you cannot judge a book by its cover. Also, you
Speaker 1: can't be afraid to speak your truth. You got to
Speaker 1: say it whether people here it or not. And so
Speaker 1: I have done that my entire life. I don't care
Speaker 1: who you are. If I want to tell you what
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, I'm gonna tell you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do myselfs pitch on mckissic and mckissic because let's
Speaker 1: face it, every opportunity we've all had has come through somebody.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, we have more with Cheryl mckissic
Speaker 1: when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: goal morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Cheryl McKissick. Charlomagne. How much pressure is it
Speaker 1: to run a family business, especially one that has so
Speaker 1: much history. You know what, I think the history is
Speaker 1: what gives me the strength when I meet the pressure. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I think back. You know, sure, you know we
Speaker 1: we built iconic projects. You know James Terminal, Now, you
Speaker 1: know UM the World Trade Center. We oversee the MTA
Speaker 1: capital program for the last ten years. I mean the
Speaker 1: budget right now is about fifty four billion. Our last
Speaker 1: budget was thirty two billion. Mckissic oversees every project. That's
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars more. Wow. Okay, So we had
Speaker 1: light flex on this little light flex on this fine
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. Wow, little light flex. Okay, we're program managers.
Speaker 1: This is a great one. We're program managers for Terminal
Speaker 1: one JFK. And the owners are Carlisle, Magic, Johnson Enterprises
Speaker 1: and Loop Capital was involved in the Magic is involved
Speaker 1: in now. Wow. And that's why McKissick is involved with that.
Speaker 1: And that's the whole point of black entren entrepreneurship. It's
Speaker 1: about equity. It's Wall Street already of them African American
Speaker 1: Because I know sometimes when I drive around these sites,
Speaker 1: I can tell that a lot of people hire a
Speaker 1: cheaper labor, and I don't really see too many Brothers
Speaker 1: assistants working at somebody sites, sometimes not at our sites.
Speaker 1: I can't speak about other sites. But since two thousand
Speaker 1: and five, we have put in place a workforce program
Speaker 1: and it's started actually at Harlem Hospital and it's really
Speaker 1: like intake for people that want to get into construction,
Speaker 1: and we refer our candidates not only to mckissic projects,
Speaker 1: but to any project in the Parlem area. Most of
Speaker 1: our jobs mckissic jobs. We are like forty five percent
Speaker 1: minority women owned businesses, and our workforce is up in
Speaker 1: that forty percent range as well. We want to make
Speaker 1: sure that the people in the community that we build,
Speaker 1: you know, feed in and have a part of the
Speaker 1: economic wealth that comes from construction, because construction does build wealth,
Speaker 1: you know, So on usual cases, I don't want to
Speaker 1: go in your pockets. But what is usually a profit
Speaker 1: margin for construction companies what they actually make, So it
Speaker 1: all depends on the project and what your role is
Speaker 1: on a project. So you know, if you are you know,
Speaker 1: doing construction management services program management services, which means you're
Speaker 1: not holding contractors contracts directly with subcontractors, then the percentages
Speaker 1: are around you know, ten percent. If you are a
Speaker 1: contractor holding subcontractors contracts like you know, excavation, concrete, all
Speaker 1: of that, then it's more in the three to five percent.
Speaker 1: So it just all depends on the type of contract
Speaker 1: that you're holding. But when you think about New York
Speaker 1: numbers and you think about those percentages, it still ends
Speaker 1: up being a very lucrative business. Oh we can tell
Speaker 1: I can. I can see the wealth on you. Okay,
Speaker 1: I see the wealth on on you. Now I could
Speaker 1: smell it through the zoom. I I know wealth when
Speaker 1: I see wealth. Okay, I'm looking at it myself. Is
Speaker 1: there anything else you ever wanted to do? U? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are other things I wanted to do. I mean
Speaker 1: growing up with silly stuff. And then you know my
Speaker 1: passion right now is black entrepreneurship. So last year, well
Speaker 1: actually it's been two years, I started a firm called
Speaker 1: Legacy Engineers with a really good friend of mine who's
Speaker 1: an engineer UM and it's a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, engineering
Speaker 1: design firm. And we're bringing in black engineers, teaching them
Speaker 1: how to be owners, and then we're gonna build a
Speaker 1: company and give it to them. Wow. Wow. But about
Speaker 1: the importance of mwbs because I know people we need
Speaker 1: to stress that more as far as we amber to
Speaker 1: get these contracts with the city and building wealth that way,
Speaker 1: the MWBE program is needed. I mean, just like the
Speaker 1: story I just told you about my grandfather who couldn't
Speaker 1: get their license, we still have those same type of
Speaker 1: bureaucrats that are in the system who are going to
Speaker 1: stop people just because of the color of their skin.
Speaker 1: And so we have to have MWBE programs. That's the
Speaker 1: only way to break through. But we just need to
Speaker 1: make them even, We need to make them more rooted,
Speaker 1: and we make we need to make them larger. Right now,
Speaker 1: under the Blasio and under Como, the MWBE percentages around
Speaker 1: thirty percent. You know, we just need to increase it
Speaker 1: because to me, that's where the rubber hits the road,
Speaker 1: and we're back to that ecosystem that we know about.
Speaker 1: If a black person owns a business, they're gonna hire
Speaker 1: black people, and you know that's going to change a community.
Speaker 1: What better way to fight systemic racism and to close
Speaker 1: the gap between black and white income and wealth. Do
Speaker 1: you This was fueling the desire to let people know
Speaker 1: the story of your family more. But really fueled it
Speaker 1: was we need more black women, We need more black
Speaker 1: men in stem and engineering and architecture and in construction,
Speaker 1: and we need to put a face on that. And
Speaker 1: so that's when I started trying to expand my brand
Speaker 1: so I could put a face on it, just to say.
Speaker 1: You know, people when they think about construction, they think
Speaker 1: about a hard hat and some boots of mud. Well, construction,
Speaker 1: do I look like I'm out of some hard fresh
Speaker 1: off white track suit, very expensive shoes. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they are, but if you click them, you're going
Speaker 1: head back to Canadas. I know that much. I know
Speaker 1: that much. You're getting that money. But I would put
Speaker 1: my boots on and I will go out there and um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's important to do that, but that's
Speaker 1: not what the whole profession is. It's so much more
Speaker 1: that you can do in um, in construction. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's hr, there's finance, say's operations, there's business, there's marketing,
Speaker 1: so much, so much, and so we need more people
Speaker 1: that look like us in this profession. If you care,
Speaker 1: you can be it. And that's why it's importing for
Speaker 1: you to come up here and talk about your experience,
Speaker 1: because I can imagine right now that thousands of people
Speaker 1: that might not ever have considered this like I actually
Speaker 1: can do that. This is interesting. Let me do some
Speaker 1: more research and be inspired. And let me tell you
Speaker 1: what if someone that's black gets in this and you know,
Speaker 1: they qualify themselves and they're good, they will be sought
Speaker 1: after and they will get paid top dollar. So how
Speaker 1: should they start, like, you know, because everybody's not as
Speaker 1: mckissic ways passed down, how do they start if they
Speaker 1: want to get into this space? Well, um, I say,
Speaker 1: if you're in high school, you want to make sure
Speaker 1: you're in STEM. You know, you gotta do STEM and
Speaker 1: now STEAM which includes the architecture, okay, um, And then
Speaker 1: you go to college and then you want to work
Speaker 1: in over the summer and get internships at these organizations
Speaker 1: so that you can see, um, all the opportunity that's
Speaker 1: there and which opportunity you want to take advantage of.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you can work for mckenzic and mckinzick,
Speaker 1: you might end up on the breakfast club in turn.
Speaker 1: That's right, How can they get in touch with you
Speaker 1: if they want to take advantage of these uh, these
Speaker 1: the few dollars that you're willing to give up the
Speaker 1: few a few dollars that you're willing to give up
Speaker 1: on young entrepreneurs. Well, I don't know if it's reaching
Speaker 1: out to changer McQueen, my PR person would probably be
Speaker 1: the best way to do it. Um and um. You
Speaker 1: can just go to our website and that's www dot
Speaker 1: mckenzick dot com. That's right. Appreciate you for joining us
Speaker 1: and sharing your story. We're so grateful and thankful and
Speaker 1: keep busting ass out there. We're glad you exist. Man.

Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate it. Thanks for hiving sold When
Speaker 1: I said eight figures, right, is it more? It was
Speaker 1: a little more. Look at you like nigga, please disrespect.
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming. Thank you to Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is the rule of report with Angela. Yet So Trade
Speaker 1: the Truth has opened up a store. It's called bump
Speaker 1: Box in Houston. It's a small electronics business and it
Speaker 1: has the world's loudest Bluetooth boombox speaker. So Trade the
Speaker 1: Truth has been friendly with the company since they launched
Speaker 1: five years ago after reaching out early on to help
Speaker 1: them free of charge. And now he has his own store,
Speaker 1: so let's make sure that we support that store. And
Speaker 1: he also got another day by the Mayor of Houston
Speaker 1: Sevested Turner, so that's the third time that he has
Speaker 1: received this distinction. They had the grand opening of his
Speaker 1: store on Saturday, March thirteenth, and that day was to
Speaker 1: clear Trade the Truth and bump Box Day as well,
Speaker 1: traveling a clue bomb from my guy Trade the Truth.
Speaker 1: I am happy that that brother exists, Yes, the good
Speaker 1: Man Truth. That's one thing. I wonder if they're gonna
Speaker 1: do the Trade Day, you know, this year, because Texas
Speaker 1: is wide open and he does so much for the community,
Speaker 1: gives back and he helps those kids so much. I
Speaker 1: wonder if they're gonna do it this year. I don't
Speaker 1: think trade that irresponsible. I don't think he would do
Speaker 1: that just because Texas is wide open. I don't think
Speaker 1: he would. I don't know. But it helps me, helps
Speaker 1: the kids eat, It helps you know with backpacks. That
Speaker 1: was with a lot not just parties, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It really gives back those kids maybe get
Speaker 1: the parties. And I know he does the outdoor stuff,
Speaker 1: so maybe it's something maybe you know, wear your mask
Speaker 1: but come outdoors. I can see that Sup Portray and
Speaker 1: whatever he does, lue to trade the truth. Him and
Speaker 1: mister Rodgers great people. All right, So that bump box
Speaker 1: is open in the Houston Gallery. I'm are located on
Speaker 1: Level three across from Agenda. If anybody out there wants
Speaker 1: to go all right on the Jasmine brand. D Ray
Speaker 1: Davis did an exclusive interview where he was talking about
Speaker 1: playing Lauren London's husband and Snowfall and the pilot for
Speaker 1: the show. Here's what he had to say. It's really
Speaker 1: crazy about the casting because John Singleton loved Lauren, he
Speaker 1: loved me and the chemistry he wanted. I think on
Speaker 1: screen we we were cool because we like Buddy Buddy,
Speaker 1: But as far as us being the husband and wife,
Speaker 1: it would have taken probably by season three for me
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable because although she's beyond beautiful and beyond fine,
Speaker 1: that was as Nipsy's girl, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: One I'm very respected too. We had his brother's talking
Speaker 1: things all the time, so I don't see like it's
Speaker 1: affectionate as you see Angela and Aim and play and
Speaker 1: that passion they could just get into and the characters
Speaker 1: that we would have gotten to that now what is
Speaker 1: this now? Movie? Is this? No? You know Snowfall on
Speaker 1: FX and the pilot. Originally, yeah, he was originally playing
Speaker 1: a different role. He was originally, I said, in that role.
Speaker 1: But now he's playing against the name Peaches on the series.
Speaker 1: But originally he was in the pilot, playing opposite Lauren London.
Speaker 1: He talks about a lot of different things in this interview.
Speaker 1: He also talks about John Singleton and how the first
Speaker 1: time he met John Singleton he thought he was ignoring him,
Speaker 1: but I guess he couldn't see that well without his glasses,
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, it's a good interview, all right, Bridgeton.
Speaker 1: The cast for Bridgeton is getting ready for season two
Speaker 1: and now they are in London and ready to film.
Speaker 1: So they did announce that they were picking it up
Speaker 1: for a second season last month, which I'm super excited about.
Speaker 1: So shout out again to um, yes I am. I
Speaker 1: love Bridgeton. I wish it was out right now and
Speaker 1: so shout out to Shandon Rhymes for that. And you know, um,
Speaker 1: the guy Luke Thompton who plays the Benedit Bridgeton. He
Speaker 1: actually is dyslexic, so he said that it was hard
Speaker 1: for him learning his lines. He get to struggle with
Speaker 1: his dyslexia. The lead, he's the brother, so I guess
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the lead in the second season,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. All Right, now, let's talk about
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg. After launching his wine, his red wine with
Speaker 1: nineteen Crimes, now he's launching a new rose. By the way,
Speaker 1: my mom loves that wine. That wine is good. My
Speaker 1: mom came over my house and took at two of them,
Speaker 1: and she took him. Yeah, I drink a bottle of
Speaker 1: that nineteen Crimes. I did that with some mediables one night,
Speaker 1: great Saturday. All right, well, now you can actually get
Speaker 1: the rose as well, So shout out to my guide
Speaker 1: to Eclectic Wine and Liquors in Brooklyn. He always has
Speaker 1: that like front and center in his store, to black
Speaker 1: owned liquor store. All right, well that is your rumor reports.
Speaker 1: Now it's Women's History month. Will we repen today? Well,
Speaker 1: today we are talking about Stacy Abrams. Now she is
Speaker 1: warning about these racist election laws. This is something that
Speaker 1: everybody needs to pay attention to. The work that she's
Speaker 1: been doing is one of the main reasons why Georgia
Speaker 1: actually became help President Joe Biden become the first Democrat
Speaker 1: in nearly three decadids to carry the state. She's been
Speaker 1: out there in the trenches. She's been making sure that
Speaker 1: people get out exercise their right to vote. Once again,
Speaker 1: that right is under threat. Here she is talking on CNN.
Speaker 1: It's Woman's History Month and we're celebrating the most influential
Speaker 1: women in history. Check out this phenomenal woman. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, I do absolutely agree that it's racist. It
Speaker 1: is the reduct of Jim Crow in a suit and tie.
Speaker 1: We know that the only thing that precipitated these changes,
Speaker 1: It's not that there was a question of security. In fact,
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State and the Governor went to great
Speaker 1: pains to assure America that George's elections were secure. And
Speaker 1: so the only connection that we can find is that
Speaker 1: more people of color voted and it changed the outcome
Speaker 1: of elections in a direction that Republicans do not like.
Speaker 1: And so instead of celebrating better access and more participation,
Speaker 1: their response is to try to eliminate access to voting
Speaker 1: for primarily communities. Of color, and there's a direct correlation
Speaker 1: between the usage of drop boxes, the usage of in
Speaker 1: person early voting, especially on Sundays, and the use of
Speaker 1: vote by mail and the direct increase in the number
Speaker 1: of people of color voting. And that was another phenomenal
Speaker 1: woman in history. All right, Well, that is Stacy Abrams
Speaker 1: for Women's History Month. Make sure you guys go to
Speaker 1: fairfight dot com. That is her organization, if you want
Speaker 1: to find out more, if you want to support. She
Speaker 1: is a political leader, she is a voting rights activist,
Speaker 1: and her work is super important. So I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure that we keep on highlighting her and
Speaker 1: that we keep on making sure that we get out
Speaker 1: there and exercise our rights to vote, and that that
Speaker 1: right does not get taken away from us. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, we got the positive
Speaker 1: notice to Breakfast Club. Morning morning. Everybody is dj enjy Angela, Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now. We
