Speaker 1: pieced up playing in is Friday? Yes, the weekend is here, Yes,
Speaker 1: the weekend is officially here. What's happening? How did everybody
Speaker 1: feel out there today? I'm good, I'm good, I feel good,
Speaker 1: I feel better. I got a little rest last night.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling great. Weekend this hit, damn it? What about you?
Speaker 1: I wish I could say I didn't get rest last
Speaker 1: night because I slept in the car because I had
Speaker 1: to go to Norfolk State University Norfolk. They make sure
Speaker 1: to tell you to pronounce it Norfolk without the R
Speaker 1: dropping the clues bombs for Norfolk. I was there yesterday
Speaker 1: as a guest for their Vision Cast week, you know,
Speaker 1: speaking to the students in the Wildest Center, in particular
Speaker 1: a lot of the mass communication students and my good
Speaker 1: friend April Wood it was the moderator. But on the
Speaker 1: way back, the weather in Norfolk was so bad that
Speaker 1: they canceled all the flights, every single flight. So he drove,
Speaker 1: I canceled, had to had to had to drive back
Speaker 1: six and a half, six and a half hours. You
Speaker 1: should do that every week. It brought back a lot
Speaker 1: of memories because you know, driving from the Carolina sometimes
Speaker 1: to New York, New Jersey back in the day, you
Speaker 1: had to take that trip and go through VA, go
Speaker 1: through them back roads to two thirty What is it
Speaker 1: two thirty I can't even remember what it was anymore. No,
Speaker 1: it's the route they take where they got where they
Speaker 1: drive over that bridge. What's that Chester people? Chestpe Bay Bridge? Yes,
Speaker 1: and the and the and the wind blowing absolutely, because
Speaker 1: because they say trucks will be flipping over some time
Speaker 1: and if you take that route, it saves you two
Speaker 1: hours or something like that saves your hour in like
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Yes, that's where my night was last night.
Speaker 1: So I got back to New Jersey round three three
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning at home run three thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning. That used to be the trip I used
Speaker 1: to drive that, I think every weekend, every other weekend
Speaker 1: back home to the crib. And it was like six
Speaker 1: six and a half hours. But you would get your
Speaker 1: best music in. You just turn on your your favorite
Speaker 1: albums and that way you can listen to a full album.
Speaker 1: It was. It was the best because the radio station
Speaker 1: has changed so much between VA in New York. So
Speaker 1: you you listen to your radio. You ride out and
Speaker 1: and try not to speed too much because the cops
Speaker 1: they are are a little crazy. And in Virginia, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a common state place, common commonwealth state, so they
Speaker 1: will pull you over, lock you up for anything. Well,
Speaker 1: I was knocked out. We had we had a phenomenal
Speaker 1: driver flute. A young woman named Sean dropped on a
Speaker 1: club moss for Sean and and and she got us
Speaker 1: back safe. I missed those drives, those are those used
Speaker 1: to be the best drives? I know I didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't like long ride, bro, I can't do it. I
Speaker 1: didn't like him when I was a kid. Don't like
Speaker 1: him now. I do not like road trips. I am
Speaker 1: the all way there yet person? Really? Okay? Yes, I
Speaker 1: don't like don't front when you hit there, when you
Speaker 1: get to the New Jersey turn back, he'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh almost there. No sleep, well you slept, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: will sleep. I wanted room. I wake up. I want
Speaker 1: to be there. If I wake up and we're not

Speaker 1: have Tony this morning. A right, wow, let's start to
Speaker 1: show off with five Yo four and his album is
Speaker 1: out today. This is a new joint feature in Queen
Speaker 1: Nage and Coi Larey. It's called What's My Name? It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You think like that recommend
Speaker 1: and Queen Nag Coilrey make sure you pick up that
Speaker 1: five Yo stream that album today, all right as well
Speaker 1: her albums out today. Shout the coin lay as well.
Speaker 1: But let's get into front page news where we're starting. Well,
Speaker 1: two more black coaches have joined black Brian floor as
Speaker 1: his discrimination lawsuit against the NFL. They both have significant
Speaker 1: NFL experience, and they accused the league and its teams
Speaker 1: of discrimination and paying lip service to minority hiring rules. Now,
Speaker 1: this is all involving the little gation of former Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. He's now joined by Stephen Wilkes,
Speaker 1: who's a former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, and
Speaker 1: Ray Horton, who was most recently the defensive backs coach
Speaker 1: for the team now known as the Washington Commanders. Wilkes
Speaker 1: was in charge in Arizona in twenty eighteen, and he
Speaker 1: was discriminated against by the Arizona Cardinals, he says, by
Speaker 1: being hired merely as a bridge coach and not given
Speaker 1: any meaningful chance to succeed. Arizona replaced Wilkes them with
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, a former head coach at Texas Tech University
Speaker 1: who had no NFL coaching experience. Kingsbury, who was white,
Speaker 1: went thirty five and forty and six college seasons and
Speaker 1: despite the services of future NFL star Patrick Mahomes, that's
Speaker 1: what his record was. The Cardinals had become a playoff
Speaker 1: contender under Kingsbury and Kyler Murray. Now, according to Horton,
Speaker 1: he was the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans when
Speaker 1: he alleges he was put through a sham interview for
Speaker 1: the head job in Nashville to satisfy the Rooney Rule,
Speaker 1: which is a requirement to interview minority candidates. He said
Speaker 1: he was at home in Phoenix when he was called
Speaker 1: on January fifteen, twenty sixteen, and told to board a
Speaker 1: last second late night flight to Tennessee to meet with
Speaker 1: Amy Adams Strunk, who was the controlling owner of the Titans,
Speaker 1: to interview for the head coaching spot. He said, the
Speaker 1: ownership there and her family came in and told them
Speaker 1: he was going to be the head coach before they
Speaker 1: went through the Rooney rule, and so he said, I
Speaker 1: sat there knowing im as a head coach in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: as they went through this fake hiring process, knowing a
Speaker 1: lot of the coaches they were interviewing, knowing how much
Speaker 1: they prepared to go through those interviews, knowing that everything
Speaker 1: they could do and had no chance of getting that job.
Speaker 1: You know they're saying now that that was just a
Speaker 1: fake interview. Yeah. I mean it's tough with that, with
Speaker 1: the Rooney rule, right, because if a team doesn't want
Speaker 1: to hire you, but then they have to, it's kind
Speaker 1: of isn't like they're pandering to you just to just
Speaker 1: to make sure to interview you, interview just to make
Speaker 1: sure it's okay for the league. Wonder and I wonder
Speaker 1: how you prove that it's a fake interview. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: sometimes they already know who they're hiring, So imagine they
Speaker 1: already know, and then they call you in for an
Speaker 1: interview last minute because they have to, and then remember
Speaker 1: that any wasn't there a text message that went out
Speaker 1: to Brian Flores congratulating him for the job. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder how many jobs feel like that. I wonder
Speaker 1: how many jobs do interviews with people but they already
Speaker 1: know in their mind, who really really want It's like
Speaker 1: a waste of time, right, like why haven't you come
Speaker 1: up here and give him a spiel? But then I'm
Speaker 1: sure maybe a couple of times they thought they had
Speaker 1: somebody and somebody and pressed them to the point where
Speaker 1: they were like, you know, let's get him a chance.
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but you know, I mean, because if
Speaker 1: you've got some money on your mind, now you just
Speaker 1: interview with me because you have to. You're gonna take
Speaker 1: the interview series? Are you really gonna kare? You know?
Speaker 1: It's so hard because you know it, right, like you
Speaker 1: can you can look at the NFL and see that
Speaker 1: there's you know, discrimination, you know that, but it's so
Speaker 1: hard to prove correct Yeah, you know, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess the only way is if other people who
Speaker 1: were being interviewed to come forward and say you know,
Speaker 1: I already knew I had the job, and they were
Speaker 1: still high interviewing other people for the position just to
Speaker 1: satisfy this rule, or maybe checking emails. Who knows if
Speaker 1: anybody would say, that's not gonna happen noway, because then
Speaker 1: you black ball, you boxed out. That's right, all right,
Speaker 1: Well that is your front page news, all right. Get
Speaker 1: it off your chests eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 1: oh five one. If you need to vent fun line
Speaker 1: to wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 1: oh five one. Get it off your chest. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up.
Speaker 1: If you're trying to get it off your chest or blast,
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello,
Speaker 1: this I do want to disston to doctor New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Good morning God, Breakfast Club. This is just getting out again.
Speaker 1: What's your opinion? We have ten year old girls and
Speaker 1: boys now watching poorn, googling the website and watching it. Now.
Speaker 1: Don't you have been watching it? But now they're introducing
Speaker 1: me a little dunger cousins to watch it. So what
Speaker 1: age would we be allowing these kids? I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't agree. I don't think a ten year old boy
Speaker 1: or girl. But I was sold boys started this age,
Speaker 1: you know, So I don't know. But I just don't
Speaker 1: a great So I just like to know what we
Speaker 1: you know what the rest of these these country or
Speaker 1: you guys came about the age group that should be
Speaker 1: watching porn. Well, I got parental control on the iPads
Speaker 1: and their phone, so they can't go to a lot
Speaker 1: of those sites. Or my kids don't have phones. My
Speaker 1: young kids don't have so phones. They got iPads, but
Speaker 1: I have parental controls and then I limit the amount
Speaker 1: of time they can use. So I mean, you gotta
Speaker 1: monitor your kids. But it's hard because I remember the
Speaker 1: first time I've seen porn when I was young. It
Speaker 1: was at my friend's house. Her dad had some takes
Speaker 1: and so that's how I've seen it. So I just
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, you gotta have conversations with your
Speaker 1: kids when they're old enough. But Cassandra, your question is
Speaker 1: flawed from the start because you said when do you
Speaker 1: allow your kids? I don't think you ever allow your kids.
Speaker 1: It's time, it's time. Secondly, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: the mayor of Clark, how he made these racist remark
Speaker 1: but how how you and then you apologize a lot
Speaker 1: of times when they make the remarks and they apologize,
Speaker 1: obviously you meant to stay. You are six time term
Speaker 1: mayor and Clark is a very racist town, one of
Speaker 1: the racist towns in New Jersey, because New Jersey is
Speaker 1: most one of the most racist states. So he apologized,
Speaker 1: but you meant that because that town is so racist
Speaker 1: even down to they motive, uh, their violations for coming through.
Speaker 1: The motor vehicle violations is the fees was just astronomical,
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And then the diversity. When we talk about diversities,
Speaker 1: you can also talk about the NFL and the diversity.
Speaker 1: A lot of these in these companies kill me when
Speaker 1: they talk about diversity, but diversity is never in the
Speaker 1: main area. Like I talked about the waterfront back New
Speaker 1: Jerseys how phoebe story. He talks about diversity, but it's
Speaker 1: no diversity on the commission, on the board, on the
Speaker 1: board in the wait. When they talk about diversity, they
Speaker 1: don't don't they have like another book like a Latino
Speaker 1: or Chinese, but no black. They don't have no black
Speaker 1: on these most important boys. So how is that diversity? Right?
Speaker 1: Thank you? He's absolutely right, Hello, who's this? You know?
Speaker 1: This is DJ rob you og? I want a girl
Speaker 1: with extensions in their hair, bamboo air rings at least
Speaker 1: two pair offend thee bag, and a bad attitude. That's
Speaker 1: all I need to get me in a good move.

Speaker 1: got me thinking about systemic racism in Hollywood. I am
Speaker 1: a performing art student into the ann and man, when
Speaker 1: I tell you, when you go to look at actors access,
Speaker 1: it is nothing but AA's for white females or white
Speaker 1: elderly females, and it's rarely anything for Black females. And
Speaker 1: it is so hard at getting this industry. And I
Speaker 1: as like, um, basically actors access. It's what they categorize
Speaker 1: it as, so you'll have it for like white females
Speaker 1: of a certain age or Black females of a certain
Speaker 1: age or males either or And compared to the amount
Speaker 1: that you see for Black women, it is terrible, absolutely
Speaker 1: horrible enough to mention the competition out there for Black
Speaker 1: women because of how many will will we actually get right?

Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. It's about
Speaker 1: the rumor report the breakfast Club. Well, now I see
Speaker 1: why they said. Coyleer does not want to talk about
Speaker 1: her dad and interviews. She wrote a series of tweets
Speaker 1: calling out her father, who claims and she claims that
Speaker 1: he's been threatening her and her mom because she called
Speaker 1: him broke. She said, I hate to bring this ish
Speaker 1: to social media, but my father need help. Sorry if
Speaker 1: I offended you on the breakfast club, but don't treat
Speaker 1: me or my mom because you hate to admit that
Speaker 1: we went broke after the source, she said, build an
Speaker 1: effing bridge and get over it. That's why I don't
Speaker 1: even like mentioning his name. That's why I never mentioned
Speaker 1: his name coming into this industry, because he can't get
Speaker 1: over his past and don't even realize how much he's
Speaker 1: damaging when he does this stuff. He's texting my mom,
Speaker 1: threatening her, talking about some watch grow up. You was
Speaker 1: just trying to get her to do growing up hip hop.
Speaker 1: We don't want that life. She's trying to be here
Speaker 1: for me and support me, while you're trying to find
Speaker 1: every way to beef with me and suck the life
Speaker 1: out of me. I'm tired. The devil is working. This
Speaker 1: is a perfect example. When everything is going so good,
Speaker 1: here he comes being weird, trying to f up somebody's life.
Speaker 1: I'm your only effing daughter. You worried about being called
Speaker 1: broke on the day of my day abut album. You
Speaker 1: ain't even text me congratulations. You so bitter and evil.
Speaker 1: I'm a pray for you. And here is the part
Speaker 1: of the interview that. I guess he didn't like. My
Speaker 1: dad is a great is a great you know man,
Speaker 1: and I love him, you know, regardless of our differences,
Speaker 1: He's still my father. I got to respect him, right.
Speaker 1: And Dad's no Dad's guys get a little too crazy
Speaker 1: and over excited. Yeah, so you know, me and my
Speaker 1: dad are still building our relationship. I don't want to argue,
Speaker 1: I don't want to nothing. And I was just so excited.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, Dad, like, don't worry. You feel me
Speaker 1: Like my father came in this game. And as I'm learning,
Speaker 1: as I'm getting older, I'm learning a lot more about
Speaker 1: what he brought because I really don't know too much,
Speaker 1: but I'm learning more and I feel him and I
Speaker 1: understand him, and I just want to be able to
Speaker 1: be like yo, like I got you like. And I
Speaker 1: guess at some point she said that she said they
Speaker 1: were broke. Yeah, I thought of the part what she said.
Speaker 1: People think she grew up with a silver spoon, but
Speaker 1: correct around nine years old. I guess when they lost
Speaker 1: the sauce and she said they were broke for a
Speaker 1: little bit, broke, don't and I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's wrong with that I mean people go through
Speaker 1: ups and downs. I mean, I've been broke before. I'm
Speaker 1: sure Sean Lemagne was broke. I don't know about yourselfie,
Speaker 1: but I've been in situations where I was broke. But
Speaker 1: the thing is, which which what I don't like? And
Speaker 1: I can't tell her father how to feel or daughter
Speaker 1: how to feel. Is She spoke nothing but positive about
Speaker 1: him the whole interview. She was like, I respect him,
Speaker 1: I love him. You know we don't have the best relationship,
Speaker 1: but we're working on it. And I know sometimes ben Zino,
Speaker 1: I know we haven't had the best relationship up here,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you gotta get out your way and really
Speaker 1: support your daughter. Like there's that's small things like you
Speaker 1: don't want to look up ten years down the line
Speaker 1: and you're like, damn, I don't have that relationship. Off
Speaker 1: for bull crap, off for something stupid, Off for something
Speaker 1: very small. I thought she was very positive and I
Speaker 1: don't think she was trying to say anything to be offensive. Now,
Speaker 1: he posted on social media to whom this made concern,
Speaker 1: the legends don't play the back, they set the standards.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my brothers, see the God in envy for
Speaker 1: sticking up for me and not letting a false narrative
Speaker 1: of who I am and what I've accomplished happened. I
Speaker 1: put in too much work in the culture. The problem
Speaker 1: with this so your generation is they have no respect
Speaker 1: or regard for who came before them and how they
Speaker 1: laid the blueprint for them to be successful. I always
Speaker 1: revered those who came before me, and I am grateful
Speaker 1: to the legends of hip hop. I don't think that
Speaker 1: had anything to do with you know what she said,
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm tired of this old talk. Hip
Speaker 1: hop is over forty years old, and the one who
Speaker 1: appeal to older and younger will be the most successful.
Speaker 1: Anyone who thinks that because you're in your forties and fifties,
Speaker 1: you should just go sit in a rocking chair and
Speaker 1: still don't live out and pursue their dreams and aspirations
Speaker 1: are idiots. All you young people who are in their
Speaker 1: twenties and successful at rapping, chances are you still will
Speaker 1: be rapping in your fifties. Period. When the younger generation
Speaker 1: starts listening more and respect the older before them is
Speaker 1: when life will be better and our entire culture will
Speaker 1: be better. Yeah, I don't know Venzino personally. But the
Speaker 1: reality is you can never take away what somebody has done.
Speaker 1: Like the Source meant something, the culture was, it was
Speaker 1: an institution. We still use the five migrating system and
Speaker 1: casual conversation. Now he's people will say he's gonna know
Speaker 1: he's a legend for that Source magazine. What they created
Speaker 1: him and Dave May is created. You can't take that back.
Speaker 1: And it's set the tune for a lot of things
Speaker 1: in hip hop. And I don't think Coila Ray was
Speaker 1: saying that you shouldn't do music if you're older. I
Speaker 1: think she was saying that the older people need to
Speaker 1: give the younger people a chance too. I don't think
Speaker 1: she was saying not to listen. You know. It's interesting though,
Speaker 1: I think Nino's concerned about his legacy, which I can understand,
Speaker 1: but also I remember that Coilarey is part of his
Speaker 1: legacy as well. Absolutely all right, And I don't think
Speaker 1: this is necessarily I think you have to separate being
Speaker 1: a dad from being a legend, right because she's saying
Speaker 1: she wants to do things, and she has been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of things on her own, and so step
Speaker 1: back as a father and let her do her thing,
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you have to step back from
Speaker 1: what it is that you brought to the game. They
Speaker 1: have a different sort of relationship, and I get with
Speaker 1: what a lot of younger artists were saying. I remember
Speaker 1: coming up at as a DJ. I used to hate
Speaker 1: the older DJs and the older artis because I felt
Speaker 1: like they never supported or open the doors. That's why
Speaker 1: when it comes to whatever I do, I like to
Speaker 1: have the conversations, whether it's with little Dirk or Offset,
Speaker 1: or a CARDI or a little baby, if I can
Speaker 1: help them get into real estate or get to things
Speaker 1: which I couldn't do, I try to help. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want to charge nobody. I just want them
Speaker 1: to win. I want everybody to win, like and I
Speaker 1: also want to I do want to young people to
Speaker 1: know that you're gonna be old and much lost. Be young. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how I say young, it's so fleeting have fun in
Speaker 1: that pocket, but it's really just the pocket, Like it's
Speaker 1: really a short period of time that you're gonna be young,
Speaker 1: and you know when you realize that when you get old.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But I think she was just saying, give
Speaker 1: us a little bit of support and shine. That's all.
Speaker 1: She wasn't saying, no one should get old, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: do music because you're older. She was just saying, And
Speaker 1: a lot of younger artists who say this, they don't
Speaker 1: like the fact that people feel like, oh, you gotta
Speaker 1: do this, you gotta do that. Oh we don't listen
Speaker 1: to that type of music. That's not for me. And
Speaker 1: somebody sells support, but nobody said that, like and I
Speaker 1: know a lot of times people get sensitive, like even
Speaker 1: with Charlemagne, says Charlemagne says, I like a couple of
Speaker 1: records and a couple of dot but that's all the artists.
Speaker 1: That's younger artists. That's it doesn't matter. I listened to
Speaker 1: some whole records and there's somebody like I listened to also,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, also envy by the way,
Speaker 1: you know who else says that young people? Yes, it's
Speaker 1: young people who say that that may not be for me,
Speaker 1: or I don't like that, or they might just say
Speaker 1: that's straight up. It's like, yes, it's all subjective. Music
Speaker 1: is just subjective. All right, Well that is your rumor reports. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, miss ye. Now from Page News. Next, what
Speaker 1: we're talking about yes, and let's talk about something historic
Speaker 1: that has happened. It's official. We have our first black
Speaker 1: woman to sit on the Supreme Court. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get into that next. We're gonna play another five Rio joint.
Speaker 1: Shout the Fabio five Yo's album is in stores or
Speaker 1: I sit in stores, and that's where you know, you
Speaker 1: can know you could stream it. It's in stores. Pick
Speaker 1: it up and this is five yoor no more. There's
Speaker 1: stores's best buy. It might still it might be in
Speaker 1: some do some stores guitar, but everybody down streams it now,
Speaker 1: downloads it title and Spotify and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, but here'stu to fire five yo quevo. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast club God Morning, the breakfast Club Mornings. I'll
Speaker 1: never be the same. I teamed up with Zyrtech for
Speaker 1: this allergy relief message. Springtime brings vibrancy to the air
Speaker 1: and pollen, so I take Zyrtech when allergy symptoms start,
Speaker 1: save the tissues and live vibrantly with zyrt Tech starts
Speaker 1: working at hour one and stay strong day after day. Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club. All right, let's get to some
Speaker 1: front page news. But we're starting easy. Well, the tenant
Speaker 1: has confirmed that Katangi Brown Jackson will be the first
Speaker 1: black woman to sit on the Supreme Court. I was
Speaker 1: watching the two I kept hearing all these days. Well,
Speaker 1: I was watching day Nay when they were calling out
Speaker 1: the names. But here is Kamala Harris actually announcing the
Speaker 1: news on this vote. The a's are fifty three, the
Speaker 1: names are forty seven, and this nomination is confirmed in
Speaker 1: the face, All right. South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott
Speaker 1: was trending after this. He was among the forty seven
Speaker 1: who voted against confirming Katanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: If you look on Twitter to see why he's trend in,
Speaker 1: you can see what people are saying. There are three
Speaker 1: black men in the US Senate. One of them, Tim Scott,
Speaker 1: voted no on confirming just Katanji Brown Jackson to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. There is always one of us. Another person said,
Speaker 1: only eleven black people have served in the US Senate.
Speaker 1: Tim Scott is the only one who can say he
Speaker 1: opposed the nomination of the first black women to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. That's embarrassing. Well, that's because Tim Scott wanted
Speaker 1: a judge Michelle Childs who was a black woman from
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Like, that's where he wanted to be the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court pick. All right. Now here is Senator Chuch
Speaker 1: Schumer on Katanji's nomination. It is just an amazing day.
Speaker 1: If I had to think of an adjective to describe
Speaker 1: all all of us, it would be elated. This has
Speaker 1: been a long, hard road as we try to get
Speaker 1: to greater equality, less bigotry in America. Now. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: had said during his twenty twenty presidential campaign that he
Speaker 1: was committed to nominating a black woman to the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court if elected. He posted Judge Jackson's confirmation was a
Speaker 1: historic moment for our nation. We've taken another step toward
Speaker 1: making our highest court reflected diversity of America. She will
Speaker 1: be an incredible justice and I was honored to share
Speaker 1: this moment with her and the two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: three year history of the Supreme Court. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have never had a black woman hold the title
Speaker 1: of justice. Kautanzi Brown Jackson will be the first, and hopefully,
Speaker 1: as it should be, there will be many more to come,
Speaker 1: so let's make sure that that happens. But yes, it
Speaker 1: is historic. She'll be sworn in after Justice Stephen Bryer
Speaker 1: retires sometime this summer. Until then, she'll remain in her
Speaker 1: current position on the US Court of Appeals. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: a very, very historic pick. You know, Joe Biden definitely
Speaker 1: fulfilled a campaign promise that he made to you og,
Speaker 1: Jim Clyde Burne in many others. And I love how
Speaker 1: happy this pick makes so many black women. But we
Speaker 1: still have to be realistic about the fact that the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is still a six three conservative majority. And
Speaker 1: I've been saying it and I'll keep saying it. I
Speaker 1: personally think Democrats should expand the courts and add four
Speaker 1: judge Jacksons. And I don't want us to miss the
Speaker 1: opportunity to use this moment to educate people on exactly
Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court is and how there are major
Speaker 1: issues on the table that they are talking about overturning,
Speaker 1: like voting rights and roll versus wage. So, you know,
Speaker 1: celebrate for two seconds and then let people know the
Speaker 1: reality of what we are facing with that damn six
Speaker 1: three conservative majority in the Supreme Court. All right in
Speaker 1: the metaverse. Where is it going next? Well, according to
Speaker 1: the New York Post, they're getting ready to create their
Speaker 1: own payment system and currency. They said, Meta is getting
Speaker 1: ready to introduce introduce payment tokens, which they're calling zuckbucks.
Speaker 1: So it won't be cryptocurrency, but an inn app currency
Speaker 1: that's managed and controlled by Meta like Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: zack bucks, that's what they're callingbucks, the rodblocks coins, social tokens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can only use it in there, zuckbucks. If I'm
Speaker 1: using for prostitution, they're called suck bucks, while you can
Speaker 1: say the f bucks. No. If I'm just saying, because
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen, right, you know it's going with
Speaker 1: the currency evolves, people are gonna start using these things
Speaker 1: for nefarious means like prostitution in the metaverse. I'm sure
Speaker 1: if you want to like buy a car, or paint
Speaker 1: your house or change your clothes, you have to use
Speaker 1: the zuck bucks or you know, if you want to
Speaker 1: put in your mind, if you think there ain't gonna
Speaker 1: be no suck bucks or no f bucks in the metaverse, Okay,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in there. Freaking you ever see those
Speaker 1: videos or those people over in Asia with the goggles
Speaker 1: on and they'd be like humping the air, wilding. I've
Speaker 1: never seen it. Yeah, it's gonna go down. What do
Speaker 1: you be watching? Man? All right? Well that America is
Speaker 1: not the first country with virtual reality. I didn't say it,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't google people hump in the
Speaker 1: air that send you the video or this grandma and
Speaker 1: the grandma had the goggles on and the grandkid walked
Speaker 1: in on them, or she was wild If you send
Speaker 1: me in that video, Human Resources, I'm time you have
Speaker 1: right now. Hey, she was wilding with him vall glasses us.
Speaker 1: She was doing something to a ghost wanted to two.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, when we come back, the Secretary of
Speaker 1: Transportation Pete booda judge will be joining us and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to him when we come back, so don't move.
Speaker 1: It's a breakfast club, Comoy, the breakfast club, Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne and the guy. We are to breakfast club. We
Speaker 1: got a special guests in the building. Always a pleasure
Speaker 1: when he comes in. Secretary Pete Boota judge's head. How
Speaker 1: are you, sir, I'm good, Thanks for having me over.
Speaker 1: How you feeling feeling great, okay, and you have a
Speaker 1: very intense job right now, which we'll get into. But
Speaker 1: let's discuss the last time you were here where we
Speaker 1: left off. Yeah, I mean then we were still putting
Speaker 1: this transportation bill together, thinking about what we could actually
Speaker 1: do with it. Now we've put more than fifty billion
Speaker 1: dollars in road funding out for road improvements in every
Speaker 1: part of the country, bridge funding, transit funding. We just
Speaker 1: did that this week, So we're actually doing the things
Speaker 1: we came here to do. There's a ton of work
Speaker 1: still to come, but it feels good after basically spending
Speaker 1: most of the last year just trying to get the
Speaker 1: bill through, now we're actually doing the work. You know.
Speaker 1: Before we get into the work, I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you because I saw that you just had your
Speaker 1: twins go to daycare for the first time and your
Speaker 1: parents you're not difficult, that is when you gotta dropped
Speaker 1: him all. So how difficult was that for you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a little. We were doing fine with it
Speaker 1: until the last minute. So we got a boy and
Speaker 1: a girl, twins. They're about seven to eight months now,
Speaker 1: and just as we started to hand her over our
Speaker 1: girl over at the daycare, that little lower lip came out.
Speaker 1: We call it the Yeah, we call it the chaos
Speaker 1: lip because you know, once you see that little pouty lip,
Speaker 1: then she's usually pretty upset. But no, they actually did great.
Speaker 1: We've got this app now they tell us when I
Speaker 1: just got an alert that there was a diaper change,
Speaker 1: so you know, I feel like I'm in the know.
Speaker 1: Um and uh and they're doing great. Did they have
Speaker 1: to have security of cause right, uh, yeah, I won't
Speaker 1: get in that too much, but they're they're safe and secure.
Speaker 1: How his fatherhood changed you changes everything. I mean it's
Speaker 1: first of all, it's hard. I mean it's it's beautiful,
Speaker 1: wonderful work. But I've never had a job that demanding.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, especially in the early weeks where
Speaker 1: you know, you start your day at three am, when
Speaker 1: when Chaston would tap out, we went to kind of
Speaker 1: a night's a shift system because um, just the way
Speaker 1: they were growing and eating, you kind of had to
Speaker 1: be with them almost all the time. And he would
Speaker 1: tap out somewhere between two and three in the morning.
Speaker 1: Then I'd start my day and I knew that, you know,
Speaker 1: being a new dad means you have to get up
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. But I thought that, man,
Speaker 1: you'd get up and then you get to go back
Speaker 1: to bed afterwards. And a lot of times that that
Speaker 1: didn't happen, didn't work that way. Uh, and you know
Speaker 1: it's humbling. I mean, you're you know, you're getting puked
Speaker 1: on routinely, and uh, you know, it's it's a little
Speaker 1: different from most of what goes on in your day
Speaker 1: as a cabinet member. But we know it's great, and
Speaker 1: you know, all the cliches come true, right. You think
Speaker 1: about the future more, Um, you think about what advantaged more. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, just getting them into daycare was was
Speaker 1: you know, um, one big step for us. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you just the whole world looks looks a little bit different.
Speaker 1: I think about what it'll be like when they're uh,
Speaker 1: you know, old enough to get a job or go
Speaker 1: to college, and that that's not that far off. And
Speaker 1: the decisions we're making right now, especially on things like
Speaker 1: climate but the economy, all of it is going to
Speaker 1: shape how they're going to do. So yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: I sound like every other parent, but now I feel
Speaker 1: it in a different way. The difference that you're in
Speaker 1: a position to actually shape the future though, So how
Speaker 1: did that impact you are? Yeah, well, I think about it.
Speaker 1: You know, when they're when they're going about their lives,
Speaker 1: they're going to be you know, riding or driving on
Speaker 1: the roads and bridges that that I'm working on building
Speaker 1: right now. Right They're going to be taking the subways
Speaker 1: that that that we're funding right now and so, and
Speaker 1: they're going to breathe be breathing air that we either
Speaker 1: make cleaner or fail to make cleaner based on the
Speaker 1: work we're doing right now. So yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it makes everything a lot more personal, especially in an
Speaker 1: in transportation infrastructure, because it's long term, right. I Mean,
Speaker 1: there's there's stuff we're doing to make sure that we
Speaker 1: get through the season or get through the year, but
Speaker 1: most of what you do in transportation infrastructure is is
Speaker 1: very much about the long, long term. You're planning through
Speaker 1: the twenty twenties to make sure the twenty thirties and
Speaker 1: the twenty forties go well. And your relationship to what's
Speaker 1: going on in the twenty forties and beyond is now
Speaker 1: you know, it's through your children. You're you're raising your children,
Speaker 1: but you're also raising your replacements. How it works and
Speaker 1: trying to save the world because not only will be
Speaker 1: thinking about climate change, but we're thinking about economics now
Speaker 1: to but the war that's going on with Russia and Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and then having to worry about gas prices and people
Speaker 1: not being able to afford that, but then on top
Speaker 1: of it climate change. Yeah, and so what are some
Speaker 1: things that our front and center for you when it
Speaker 1: comes to that. I Mean, the biggest thing I see
Speaker 1: happening with climate change is we're out of the period
Speaker 1: where it was something that people were arguing over whether
Speaker 1: it might happen or what's going to happen in the
Speaker 1: future someday. It is now right, even just looking at
Speaker 1: it from a transportation person effective last year, they had
Speaker 1: to shut down transit in the Northwest in Oregon right
Speaker 1: because there was a heat wave that wasn't even considered
Speaker 1: meteorologically possible until it happened. There were, i mean, the cables.
Speaker 1: They had to shut it down because they were the
Speaker 1: cables might melt in the heat. There was a stretch
Speaker 1: of highway that I saw in Colorado where first wildfires
Speaker 1: came through. That happens more and more often with climate change.
Speaker 1: Then you had extreme rainfall, very extreme rainfall, like the
Speaker 1: kind of thing that should only happen every five hundred
Speaker 1: two a thousand years, except it keeps happening. Those two
Speaker 1: things combined meant that all of this, all of the
Speaker 1: vegetation had burned off, and so all of the mud
Speaker 1: on the hillside wasn't held together by the roots of
Speaker 1: the vegetation, so it slid onto the highway and it
Speaker 1: took two weeks to clear up. The highway was turned
Speaker 1: into a supply chain problem. So I guess my point
Speaker 1: is these effects of climate change are right now. But
Speaker 1: the other thing that exists right now is some of
Speaker 1: the solutions. This big report from the the UN panel
Speaker 1: came out last week or I think this week, saying
Speaker 1: we're running out of time. It's it's worse than we thought.
Speaker 1: But also the solutions include technologies that exist right now.
Speaker 1: That's why I talk about electric vehicles all the time,
Speaker 1: not that that's the cure all, but it's a really
Speaker 1: important piece of it. And by the way, good old
Speaker 1: fashioned transit is a piece of it. If people have
Speaker 1: a choice, an alternative to having to drive to get
Speaker 1: where they're they're going, depending where they live, that helps. So,
Speaker 1: you know, climate change is something where transportation is being impacted,
Speaker 1: transportation gets disrupted because of climate change, and where transportation
Speaker 1: can be part of the answer. Have you seen a
Speaker 1: movie Don't Look Up? Yeah? Yeah. Do you feel like that?
Speaker 1: Like they say it's satire, but it's really not to me?
Speaker 1: Like you feel like that when it comes to discussing
Speaker 1: things like climate change. Yeah, sometimes, And when you get
Speaker 1: into these conversations on the hill or with folks who
Speaker 1: just don't want to I don't know, they just don't
Speaker 1: want to go there there. Look, it makes sense to
Speaker 1: discuss all of the problems that we're still trying to solve.
Speaker 1: For example, the electric vehicles, right, they're not affordable enough.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of work to get the raw
Speaker 1: materials and the minerals that go into them. We got
Speaker 1: to build up the charging infrastructure and be ready for that.
Speaker 1: Those are real issues. But it's one thing to say
Speaker 1: these are some real issues we got to work on,
Speaker 1: which is what we're saying. It's another to raise those
Speaker 1: issues as an excuse to just keep doing the exact
Speaker 1: same thing, the exact same way for as long as
Speaker 1: we can get away with it, right, And that's what
Speaker 1: that movie reminds me of this idea of just well,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's too hard and it's too complicated,
Speaker 1: We're just not going to deal with it. We're just
Speaker 1: going to keep doing the same thing. People to get
Speaker 1: electric cars. So a couple of things. One, as we've
Speaker 1: proposed tax credits, it would actually literally just bring down
Speaker 1: the sticker price. So we think about like these electric
Speaker 1: pickup trucks, for example, a lot of Super Bowl Super
Speaker 1: Bowl ads about these. They start about forty thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: more affordable than people think, but obviously not affordable for
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans. If we got the kinds of
Speaker 1: tax credits through that we're talking about, basically, it would
Speaker 1: take ten to twelve thousand dollars off of that sticker
Speaker 1: price and move it into the high twenties. When you
Speaker 1: get to that level, even if your car payment is
Speaker 1: higher than a regular gas car would have been, you
Speaker 1: will come out ahead every month because you'll have less
Speaker 1: of a gas bill. You still have to pay to
Speaker 1: fill up with electricity, but you pay less than you
Speaker 1: would have with gas. And so that is something that
Speaker 1: we could do right now if Congress acted to pass
Speaker 1: those tax credits to bring the prices down. The other
Speaker 1: thing is just the more they get It's like anything,
Speaker 1: the more they get produced, the less expensive. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: more efficient they are to produce, and you see the
Speaker 1: prices come down. So you know, I just not with
Speaker 1: a bunch of auto CEOs yesterday. They're all moving in
Speaker 1: this direction already. It's going to happen. The question is
Speaker 1: will it happen fast enough, will it happen in America,
Speaker 1: you know, made in America by American workers most of all,
Speaker 1: And will it happen in a way that's affordable they
Speaker 1: can reach everybody. Another issue in terms of access is
Speaker 1: being able to charge them right. So if you're in
Speaker 1: a rural or suburban area, you're in a single family home,
Speaker 1: no problem. I mean, you can just plug it in
Speaker 1: your garage, even in a regular or wallplug. It's not
Speaker 1: the most efficient, but it'll work. But if you're in
Speaker 1: a multifamily building, if you're in New York City, if
Speaker 1: you're if you're in most urban areas, we need to
Speaker 1: plan to make sure that chargers are available. So we're
Speaker 1: putting out five billion dollars for the states to work with.
Speaker 1: They're going to come in, they need to bring their
Speaker 1: plans to us over the summer and then we'll approve
Speaker 1: them and that'll set up kind of a highway network
Speaker 1: of chargers. And then we have another two and a
Speaker 1: half billion dollars for community charging to try to buy
Speaker 1: down the cost of setting up chargers at the workplace,
Speaker 1: at the apartment building where you know they're starting to
Speaker 1: go in now, because you know, you can often have
Speaker 1: a profitable business running electric chargers, but it's not quite
Speaker 1: penciling out yet. We can do something about that, and
Speaker 1: that's one of the things in law, and that's one
Speaker 1: of the things we're funding. All right, we have all
Speaker 1: with Pete Booda, Judge, Secretary of Transportation. When we come
Speaker 1: back is the breakfast Club, Good morning. I think everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club, was still kicking it with Secretary of
Speaker 1: Transportation Pete Boodha Judge Charlomagne. I want to go back
Speaker 1: to what you were saying about the movie. Don't look up.
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to get people to mo right,
Speaker 1: even with the threat of imminent danger. It's hard to
Speaker 1: get people to react. It is. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about it. Right, I think because unlike
Speaker 1: the plot of Don't Look Up, where it's a you know,
Speaker 1: something that's going to happen to us in on a
Speaker 1: specific date, this is one of those slow rolling things,
Speaker 1: but it's not so slow. And again it's it's not
Speaker 1: something we're arguing about whether it's going to happen, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's already happening. So why aren't people more focused
Speaker 1: on it? Partly, I think because we always are more
Speaker 1: aware of holding on to what we've got than preparing
Speaker 1: for something that we can't quite see and feel. Partly
Speaker 1: because people think it's it's really going to set them back.
Speaker 1: So one great thing about the electric vehicles is when
Speaker 1: people drive them, they realize they're as good or better
Speaker 1: than the gas vehicles. It takes away that that fear
Speaker 1: the unknown, but it still seems like something unknown. And
Speaker 1: of course part of it also is that, you know,
Speaker 1: some people feel that climate change will happen to somebody,
Speaker 1: but they're going to be just fine. It's selfish too,
Speaker 1: because you're not also thinking about the next generation. You
Speaker 1: might think, well, we're alive, it'll be fine, right, Who
Speaker 1: cares what happens? Right? And that's another one of those
Speaker 1: things where I'm holding by, you know, a little twins
Speaker 1: in my arms. You know this is completely going to
Speaker 1: shape their lives. But also again, this is not some
Speaker 1: far off distant thing, right, I mean, we're talking about
Speaker 1: what's going to happen within this decade, including the impact,
Speaker 1: and as as so often happens with these issues, a
Speaker 1: lot of the most vulnerable people, the people who are
Speaker 1: now the most economically vulnerable, are those who stand to
Speaker 1: lose the most, and they're not necessarily the ones making
Speaker 1: the decisions. Well how come? You know, I think about
Speaker 1: that and I hit it, and I receive it and
Speaker 1: understand it. But the mid terms of this year, you know,
Speaker 1: the next couple of years to be the presidential election year,
Speaker 1: it feels like the depth of democracy is right there,
Speaker 1: imminent danger, right, But it doesn't feel like people that
Speaker 1: are in positions of power, mainly the Democrats, are responding
Speaker 1: to it in that way. Well, I think our agenda
Speaker 1: is about shoring up our democracy really, yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: but also we're operating environment where nobody actually has complete
Speaker 1: control of the levers of government. Right. You've got Congress,
Speaker 1: you've got the courts, you've got all these state legislatures.
Speaker 1: And if there's one big lesson we've seen I think
Speaker 1: in the last few years is just how much of
Speaker 1: the power when it comes to voting in elections is
Speaker 1: in state and even county hands. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that by way of an excuse. I mean, the administration
Speaker 1: should be and is very forward leaning on this, but
Speaker 1: it's not as if we're just able to have our
Speaker 1: way on everything, right, and that's why the midterms matter.
Speaker 1: I also believe that one of the best things we
Speaker 1: can do, and maybe this is just based on where
Speaker 1: I sit as the Transportation Secretary, but one of the
Speaker 1: best things we can do to walk America a little
Speaker 1: bit back from this cliff is to just deliver on
Speaker 1: the basics. Yes, so that's what transportation is all about. Right.
Speaker 1: There really is a question about whether democracies are better
Speaker 1: at delivering on the basics or whether authoritarian countries are
Speaker 1: better at them. Right. I mean, the argument that China
Speaker 1: is basically making is, hey, we have a command and
Speaker 1: control system, and we're going to get stuff done faster, cheaper,
Speaker 1: and better than in the messy, democratic American way of
Speaker 1: doing things. And that's why this moment is a test
Speaker 1: even on things as unsexy as you know, how do
Speaker 1: you pave the roads and get the subway to run
Speaker 1: on time? Right? That's I think very high stakes for
Speaker 1: our democracy because if we can show that we can
Speaker 1: do it in our messy democratic system, it allows us
Speaker 1: to consolidate our sense of democracy is the way to go.
Speaker 1: If we can't, there's an alternative out there that is
Speaker 1: not the one we want to be dominating the world
Speaker 1: right now. And I mean, but Democrats could have the
Speaker 1: Powell if you could get everybody on the same page.
Speaker 1: Last time you hear, I asked you who's the real president?
Speaker 1: You know, Joe Mansion by Joe Biden. Clearly President Biden
Speaker 1: is the president, but Joe Mansion has been blocking Biden's
Speaker 1: agenda since the last time we've had a conversation. Are
Speaker 1: you frustrated with him yet? Look, I'm frustrated anytime we
Speaker 1: don't get our way automatically in Congress. But I also
Speaker 1: get to it doesn't work that way. And you're talking
Speaker 1: about one senator, a senator by the way, who was
Speaker 1: Democratic senator from a state that Donald Trump won by
Speaker 1: like forty points, and we should be talking about a
Speaker 1: hundred senators there's ninety nine other senators too, right, And
Speaker 1: there has been unified, uniform Republican opposition to so many
Speaker 1: of these things we're trying to do. On the voting
Speaker 1: on things like extending the child tax credit. And it's
Speaker 1: not even about what's right about black I mean, it
Speaker 1: feels like a brick wall, except I will say, on
Speaker 1: our transportation bill. Right, So we got eighteen senators to
Speaker 1: cross party lines. I mean it's not often that you see,
Speaker 1: you know, everybody from from you know, Joe Mansion to
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders to Mitch McConnell kind of agreeing to do something.
Speaker 1: It was a little more partisan in the House, but
Speaker 1: even there, a lot of a lot of Republican House
Speaker 1: members came over. And I think it shows that again,
Speaker 1: if you if you can demonstrate that there's a chance
Speaker 1: to take care of the basics, you can actually build
Speaker 1: some bridges there literally but also politically. Um. But yes, look,
Speaker 1: if we're going to talk about frustration with the Congress,
Speaker 1: let's talk about how everyone's voting. The insolent thing. Right,
Speaker 1: There was a bill to lower the cost of insolent
Speaker 1: for Americans and so many, so many legislators voted against it.
Speaker 1: And that wasn't It wasn't Democrats that we had the
Speaker 1: big problems with them. I agree with all of that,
Speaker 1: you know, but I think you know, as a voter,
Speaker 1: you know, when I see hundreds of members of Congress
Speaker 1: who are Democrats silent, when you see the mansions and
Speaker 1: cinemas blocking progress, it makes me wonder is everybody complicit?
Speaker 1: So I would say everybody's standing up for what they
Speaker 1: think we ought to do in the best way they
Speaker 1: know how. And you know, if somebody's holding out on you,
Speaker 1: going up to them and poking them in the eye
Speaker 1: is probably not going to help you get the result
Speaker 1: that you want. There are times that and it's not
Speaker 1: just you know, any one senator. There are many times
Speaker 1: that have been very frustrated that I was pretty sure
Speaker 1: I had the right way to go and somebody was
Speaker 1: standing in the way. But the way to maneuver through
Speaker 1: that is to try to build not just try to
Speaker 1: convince people right, but but but also try to build
Speaker 1: the public support that makes it clear that this is
Speaker 1: where we got to go. Well, how do you do
Speaker 1: that without calling out the pupil out of blocking progress. Well, look,
Speaker 1: we can say that's one thing that does very well.
Speaker 1: You know, Trump would have had a million nicknames with
Speaker 1: mansion in cinema. Yeah. Yeah, But I mean that didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily get him his way either, right. It got attention, sure,
Speaker 1: I mean it got us all talking about him, But
Speaker 1: did it really help move an agenda? I would say,
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at what they set out to do,
Speaker 1: what they said they were going to They really did
Speaker 1: have control of all the all the you know, levers
Speaker 1: of power, and they couldn't get rid of Obamacare. For example.
Speaker 1: We're just with the President Obama and President Biden this
Speaker 1: week celebrating the ACA, and the reason they couldn't get
Speaker 1: rid of it, I think is that it had made
Speaker 1: such a concrete difference, positive difference in American lives that
Speaker 1: America basically wouldn't let them. And uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: can vent all we want about this or that member
Speaker 1: of Congress is not going along with the thing I
Speaker 1: want to do, but in the end, they're passing the laws,
Speaker 1: and so we got either work with them or we've
Speaker 1: got to use the tools that we have, including executive authority.
Speaker 1: And the President is taking a lot of steps the
Speaker 1: authority he has right to try to solve the problem
Speaker 1: while We're getting the other pieces done, but none of
Speaker 1: this matters if we can't deliver. That's why where I'm
Speaker 1: getting up in the morning. The main thing I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about is how do we make sure we take all
Speaker 1: this money, you know, it's one point two trillion dollars,
Speaker 1: about half of that is transportation, and actually deliver one
Speaker 1: point two trillion dollars worth of value so people believe
Speaker 1: in what we're trying to do through this administration, have
Speaker 1: some level of trust and government to address problems. If
Speaker 1: we can't deliver that, then it'll just keep keep spiraling down.
Speaker 1: All right, We have more with Pete Boodha, Judge, Secretary
Speaker 1: of Transportation. When we come back. Is the breakfast club,
Speaker 1: Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are to breakfast club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Secretary of Transportation, Pete Boodha, Judge Charlomagne, you
Speaker 1: do realize, Pete, a lot of black people feel like
Speaker 1: Democrats have kept no promises since they've been in since
Speaker 1: they've been in office. Really, yes, rebet Alas said that
Speaker 1: a million times. I'm sure I'm in pressing you about. Look,
Speaker 1: I get it because the work is not done. But
Speaker 1: the reason I say really is we just passed one
Speaker 1: of the biggest pieces of infrastructure legislation in American history.
Speaker 1: It was a promise and it wasn't just a promise
Speaker 1: that the Biden Harris administration made or the dust Democrats
Speaker 1: made in twenty twenty. This is a promise that every
Speaker 1: president and every Congress is made in some way, shape
Speaker 1: or form for as long as I've been an adult,
Speaker 1: and we actually did it. But those are big, broad
Speaker 1: things and that's great. But I'm talking about things like
Speaker 1: things that you campaign going, like the George Floyd policing
Speaker 1: and effect that our voting rights man like like nineteen
Speaker 1: states have implemented boldest depression bills. You know that's going
Speaker 1: to directly impact us the most. But the only strategy
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to have is we got to go
Speaker 1: out there and vote in mass numbers to fight it.
Speaker 1: That's that's not a strategy. It's not a strategy. Right.
Speaker 1: Mobilization is a strategy, and these tactics that you're talking
Speaker 1: about make mobilization harder. And you're absolutely right that work
Speaker 1: is not done. That work has to get done, and
Speaker 1: it's not acceptable where we are right now. I think
Speaker 1: that's true. And you know what really scary is seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of women's reproductive rights regressing and LGBTQ community
Speaker 1: their rights being taken away stid state right, voting rights
Speaker 1: of being taken away state by state. Those things are
Speaker 1: scary even in the education system, you know, just not
Speaker 1: being able to discuss certain things state by state. That's
Speaker 1: a scary thing to me. And it's like we see
Speaker 1: it expanding. No, that's right. And so again part of
Speaker 1: the answer is organizing at the state level, because in
Speaker 1: this country, a lot of the power and a lot
Speaker 1: of the decisions are actually at the state level. What's
Speaker 1: happening in our schools, what even the way elections are run, right,
Speaker 1: that plays out at that level. But look, I don't
Speaker 1: think I don't think anyone on our side is satisfied
Speaker 1: with how far we've come on whether it's a George
Speaker 1: Floyd Policing Act, whether it's it's it's voting rights. What
Speaker 1: I'll say is we're pushing for as much as we
Speaker 1: can get in terms of results in Congress and taking
Speaker 1: whatever executive actions are available to the president. So you
Speaker 1: look at the policing side, right for example, actions to
Speaker 1: limit these chokeholds, to limit these these kinds of no
Speaker 1: knock warrants, to make sure that at least on the
Speaker 1: federal side, you have body cameras when when search warrants
Speaker 1: are being executed. I know, it's not the whole job
Speaker 1: gets not the federal I mean, it's great that you
Speaker 1: did it, but it's not the federal police that um
Speaker 1: it's Look, it's not that the federal side alone is
Speaker 1: where all the work has to be done. But what
Speaker 1: you'll see happening is when we have direct authority. And
Speaker 1: I say we, I mean, obviously I'm not directly involved,
Speaker 1: mostly on the law enforcement piece, but when the administration
Speaker 1: has direct authority, then it's going to be used according
Speaker 1: to the constitutional powers of the president. When it's indirect,
Speaker 1: when you got to go to Congress to get a law,
Speaker 1: then you got to go to Congress to get a law.
Speaker 1: And we're going to keep pushing. And yes, that's that's
Speaker 1: up to up to us as administration, but it's up
Speaker 1: to everybody who cares about this in the country to
Speaker 1: keep pushing. I know it's supposed to be a slim
Speaker 1: down version of the build back better that Congress might
Speaker 1: act on before Memorial So we don't know which pieces
Speaker 1: are going to make it, but we've we're going to
Speaker 1: keep pushing for all of them that we think are good.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think some form of this is going
Speaker 1: to move because these are policies we really need, childcare,
Speaker 1: prescription drugs, doing something about climate. And if we can't
Speaker 1: get everything we wanted, okay, well we'll keep pushing for
Speaker 1: the things we didn't get. But we've got to get
Speaker 1: as much as we can, and we've got to deliver
Speaker 1: because we do. We do have some promises to keep.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of the promises we've kept on the transportation side.
Speaker 1: I get that we've got more promises to keep. That's
Speaker 1: why we're gonna keep pushing. Even with the bill, even
Speaker 1: with the slim down version. The headlines already Christen Cinema
Speaker 1: is opposed to it, she's not with it, same same
Speaker 1: old problem. Look, I don't think it's even been there's
Speaker 1: not an it yet right in terms of a final
Speaker 1: deal or a package that's been agreed on. But you know,
Speaker 1: the way the Senate works is on most things, you
Speaker 1: definitely need fifty and you usually need sixty votes. And
Speaker 1: on this one, it'll be fifty because of the reconciliation rules.
Speaker 1: We've got to we've got to push. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I would like to believe that you could get some
Speaker 1: Republicans on board with the idea that I don't know
Speaker 1: that childcare ought to be cheaper, or that that leave
Speaker 1: ought to be available, or that we got to make
Speaker 1: those electric vehicles cheaper for every American, especially because it's
Speaker 1: often in rural states that tend to be a little
Speaker 1: more Republican, that people drive longer distances, they burn more gas,
Speaker 1: they spend more money, and they're going to save more
Speaker 1: money if they had nev if we made it cheaper.
Speaker 1: It seems like a smart business to start would be
Speaker 1: making those electric charging stations. Yeah. Absolutely, and we're seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of companies get into that. Matter of fact,
Speaker 1: one just opened facility in Tennessee. It's really cool to
Speaker 1: see American jobs being created in Tennessee making the chargers
Speaker 1: that you are going to charge the car. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is, you know, not only do we need to
Speaker 1: obviously secure the fifty votes in our party, we need
Speaker 1: to talk about why there there's really going to be
Speaker 1: one hundred percent opposition on the Republican side, Well, we
Speaker 1: don't expect it. Personally, I vote for Democrats. I don't
Speaker 1: expect anything of reprobable. They let us know exactly who
Speaker 1: they are and they're not trying to pretend to be offerings.
Speaker 1: But this helps Republicans too, absolutely, I mean at least
Speaker 1: Republican constituents. Yeah, there needs to be some pressure on
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think these are things that
Speaker 1: are going to be in different states, no matter. You
Speaker 1: don't have to be a Republican to believe it's a
Speaker 1: good idea to make childcare more afford one right, or
Speaker 1: prescription drugs like this is one of the top issues
Speaker 1: on Americans minds. Democrats and Republicans, seniors who tend to
Speaker 1: be to skew a little more Republican right want at
Speaker 1: least want to let Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices would
Speaker 1: make a cheaper for all of us. M Those are
Speaker 1: things that I think we at least have to raise
Speaker 1: the question of why you couldn't cross party lines to
Speaker 1: support that. It's obviously physically possible to support party lines,
Speaker 1: because a lot of them did a good thing and
Speaker 1: cross party lines to make this transportation bill possible. So
Speaker 1: it can be done. I'm not naive about how easy
Speaker 1: it will be to get it done. But I hope
Speaker 1: our conversation is not just about one or two Democrats
Speaker 1: that we haven't brought on board yet. It's only could
Speaker 1: be a black and progress that's all. Well, we need yeah,
Speaker 1: we need them to be on board in order for
Speaker 1: anything to move. Do you have a feuge aspirations? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I know this gonna sound like the political answer,
Speaker 1: but it's true. I don't know if I'll ever run
Speaker 1: for office again. Really, because you don't run for office
Speaker 1: because you just want to have it. You're run for
Speaker 1: office because you think you meet a need in a
Speaker 1: particular moment. That's how I've made the decision every time
Speaker 1: I've decided to run for office, and every time I've
Speaker 1: decided not to. What I know is the whole point
Speaker 1: of running for office is that if if you succeed,
Speaker 1: you get a chance to government. And the President has
Speaker 1: asked me to take on this job with a chance
Speaker 1: to participate in government in a really big way, and
Speaker 1: if I can do a good job at this that
Speaker 1: will be that could be the work of a lifetime.
Speaker 1: And if we don't get this right, nothing else matters.
Speaker 1: So I've got more than enough work on my plate
Speaker 1: to take all of my energy and all of my imagination,
Speaker 1: and then I'm really glad to be here. Right. How
Speaker 1: much does being a dad affect those decisions too? Well?
Speaker 1: You definitely look at everything differently, right. I mean I
Speaker 1: used to not mind being on the road all the time.
Speaker 1: I used to not mind uh you know, stay at
Speaker 1: the office till way past too late. And now you
Speaker 1: think about those things, right, So I got to try
Speaker 1: to get back for for I'm in charge of bathtime
Speaker 1: most days, so I gotta get back by and the
Speaker 1: kids don't care that that. You know, we got an
Speaker 1: extra meeting at it to the calendar to deal with
Speaker 1: the committee report or something. Right there, it's bathtime. Um,
Speaker 1: so you know I'll go. I can go back and
Speaker 1: and go back to work afterwards. You want you Yeah,
Speaker 1: partly because it's important to me. Partly because we just
Speaker 1: literally need to do it right. I means Chaston and
Speaker 1: me and um and we owe it to each other
Speaker 1: to Yeah, kids got a bad kids got to eat,
Speaker 1: diaper's got to get changed, so we just start him

Speaker 1: some simple math this morning. Okay, all right, we'll get
Speaker 1: to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. So

Speaker 1: Some restrictions apply. I was born to Donkey. It's the
Speaker 1: Donkey Day, Charlomagne Devil Breakfast Club. Yeah, it's Donkey here
Speaker 1: today for Friday, April eighth, and drop on the clues
Speaker 1: bombs for me, because I think I got the day
Speaker 1: of day right. Every day this week Friday April Today's
Speaker 1: Donkey goes to Camari Oliville, an eighteen year old Las
Speaker 1: Vegas student in the Clark County School District who is
Speaker 1: now facing charges of murder, robbery, burglary, and kidnapping and
Speaker 1: connection with a botched home invasion that left the woman dead.
Speaker 1: When I see stories like this, all I can hear
Speaker 1: is my father in my hear telling me trouble is
Speaker 1: easy to get into and hard to get out of.
Speaker 1: Dropping a clues bomb from my pops Kelvin kicktil Sooth Carolina,
Speaker 1: Love you, sir. That piece of advice is one of
Speaker 1: the greatest pieces of advice that you can give a
Speaker 1: young person or anybody. Really, trouble is easy to get into,
Speaker 1: but hard to get out of. One thing that churn
Speaker 1: don't understand is that what you do today would directly
Speaker 1: impact your life tomorrow. And there's certain things you should
Speaker 1: just say no to. Okay, this generation is really one
Speaker 1: of the stupidest generations in human history. In fact, I
Speaker 1: think it's probably the stupidest generation in human history. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's been so many advancements in technology, but I don't
Speaker 1: think there's been many advancements in people. Now. The reason
Speaker 1: I believe this is one of the dumbest generations ever
Speaker 1: is because this generation has so much evidence as to
Speaker 1: why certain things will just simply not work. And crime
Speaker 1: is absolutely one of those things that will simply not work.
Speaker 1: What's that saying. Smart people learn from their own mistakes.
Speaker 1: Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Well, what
Speaker 1: do people who are smart who are not smart nor
Speaker 1: wise do, Well, they just be dumb and the world
Speaker 1: is happening all around them and they pay no attention
Speaker 1: to it. They pay no attention to their present. So
Speaker 1: you know they're not paying attention to their past all
Speaker 1: their future. And what's sad about this Kamari Oliver situation.
Speaker 1: From this story, it sounds like he was actually caring
Speaker 1: about his future somewhat because he was still doing his homework. Yes,
Speaker 1: Kamari wasn't a young eighteen year old who devoted his
Speaker 1: life to crime or had an extensive criminal history. This
Speaker 1: is actually his first defense. He was a young eighteen
Speaker 1: year old who to me sounds like he was trying
Speaker 1: to be a dual threat the Dion Sanders of criminal
Speaker 1: and school assignments, if you will, and Kamari is a
Speaker 1: prime example of why you can't do both. In fact,
Speaker 1: doing both is what literally got him caught. Okay, being
Speaker 1: involved with the crime got him cut, and doing his
Speaker 1: homework also got him caught. Uncle Charlotte, Brother Lenaud, what
Speaker 1: the hell are you talking about? Well, let's go to
Speaker 1: Fox five for the report police So Joe police say
Speaker 1: man accused in a home invasion left his math homework
Speaker 1: in the getaway car. Okay, that's one of the details.
Speaker 1: And a new police report of an incident that left
Speaker 1: a woman dead. Eighteen year old Kamari Oliver faces several charges,
Speaker 1: including open murder. Police say last month, Oliver, along with
Speaker 1: two others, entered the victim's home near Robindale and Jones
Speaker 1: Too Robert. A woman now identified as Natalie Monthly pulled
Speaker 1: out a gun and shot at them. Matro says at
Speaker 1: least one of those suspects shot back and hit her
Speaker 1: multiple times. The victim's boyfriend says the group I saw
Speaker 1: the group leaving and ran their car with his own
Speaker 1: into a nearby wall. That group did get away, but
Speaker 1: police found a backpack in the car with that math
Speaker 1: homework we talked about earlier. Police arrested Oliver a few
Speaker 1: days later when he showed up school. No, we gotta
Speaker 1: play game. Shut up? Okay, can let me get through
Speaker 1: the donkey first? All right? Trouble is easy to get
Speaker 1: into and hard to get out of. All right, Sending
Speaker 1: healing energy to the family Natalie who was killed in
Speaker 1: this incident. Man and stories like this is why Trey
Speaker 1: wanted dough boy to let him out of the car. Okay.
Speaker 1: Trey knew he wasn't built for that life. Trade knew
Speaker 1: that life had no future. Trade just wanted to go
Speaker 1: to Moorhouse and have a future with Brandy who was
Speaker 1: going to Spellman. That's why he told Dough to let
Speaker 1: him out of the car. All right. The fat Kmari
Speaker 1: that you had your backpack with your chrome book along
Speaker 1: with a notebook of schoolwork on your person. Lets me
Speaker 1: know that you two wanted to get out of the car.
Speaker 1: All right. Some young person out there is listening to
Speaker 1: me right now and they will be faced with the
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a penitentiary choice this weekend. And I
Speaker 1: want to be the first to tell you to get
Speaker 1: out of the car. Tell do to let you out,
Speaker 1: all right. Matter of fact, that's advice for if you've
Speaker 1: gotten into the car. Let's be even more preventive here.
Speaker 1: Don't you take your ass rotting him Charing who don't
Speaker 1: want to do anything with themselves? All right? Then little
Speaker 1: folks is going to jail, and you're not going with them,
Speaker 1: all right. Kamari Oliver is the hood version of Hansel
Speaker 1: from Hanseling Gretel, but instead of leaving breadcrumbs for him
Speaker 1: to follow the return back home, he left his math
Speaker 1: homework in the getaway car. The lead police right to
Speaker 1: his front door. In this situation, it led police to
Speaker 1: his school where they questioned Kmari about his injuries because
Speaker 1: he had a burn and laceration above his right eye.
Speaker 1: Kamari said he had been in a fight over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Then police, who also obtained camera footage. They obtained camera footage,
Speaker 1: I said, They obtained camera footage of Kamari disposing the
Speaker 1: murder weapon near the crime scene, questioned you know him
Speaker 1: about the murder. And that's when he asked for a lawyer,
Speaker 1: and that's when they stopped ask asking questions. Now, Kamari's
Speaker 1: lawyers is saying evidence will show he did not go
Speaker 1: inside of that house, and he's an eighteen year old
Speaker 1: with no prior criminal history as an adult or juvenile. Hey,
Speaker 1: lawyers got a lawyer. But the fact of the matter
Speaker 1: is he should have gotten out of the car, all right.
Speaker 1: You can't do both. Body in the history of life
Speaker 1: has done positive and negative, all right. The negative will
Speaker 1: always catch up to you when the negative is this extreme,
Speaker 1: all right, it will always catch up to you before
Speaker 1: the positive does. That's why crime shouldn't even be an option. Okay, Hey,
Speaker 1: young world, please please please do something that I didn't
Speaker 1: do when I was Kamari's age. Do something that Kamari
Speaker 1: didn't do. Now learn from the mistakes of others. Okay,
Speaker 1: you want to do a math problem, I have a
Speaker 1: simple one for you that will keep you out of trouble.
Speaker 1: When something doesn't add up, subtract yourself. Maybe I could
Speaker 1: say that another way. When things aren't adding up in
Speaker 1: your life, start subtracting. That means people, places, habits that
Speaker 1: all may be causing things not to add up, and
Speaker 1: crime should never be part of that equation. It's one
Speaker 1: of the first things you should subtract. Please give Kamari
Speaker 1: Oliver the biggest he hall. Why you Why do you
Speaker 1: want to play a game? Let's play a game. I
Speaker 1: just want to play because it's Friday. Well, but they
Speaker 1: got to do it anything because I don't know. I

Speaker 1: is my dog right there. Now. I had everybody hitting me,
Speaker 1: from Sean King to the comedians, like isaid Kelly, I'm
Speaker 1: like anybody on Instagram? Yeah, Because it was like, man,
Speaker 1: I want to be on the Breakfast Club. I always
Speaker 1: wanted to be on. I was like, I'm doing Carolines
Speaker 1: this weekend. Let me just you know, put it out
Speaker 1: there in the universe. We didn't need our help for
Speaker 1: that though. So that out quick, man, Yeah, it's sold out,
Speaker 1: like New York pool up because New York always in
Speaker 1: the comments section when you coming to New York Sin
Speaker 1: when you could were just born Sin. When you coming,
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, if I come out there,
Speaker 1: buy the tickets early. And they did. Now I saw,
Speaker 1: I saw a bit you did when you returned the stage. Man,
Speaker 1: I know, condolences on your son, you know, But I
Speaker 1: was very intrigued because I was like, how does a
Speaker 1: comedian approach something right? You know, like this? So I'm
Speaker 1: even holding up. First of all, this has been first
Speaker 1: like the scariest I've ever been comedically, like normally, like
Speaker 1: I'm the type of comedian that I talked about whatever's
Speaker 1: going on in my life. Now I talk about like
Speaker 1: on the surface stuff like you know, observations and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, but then you know, I always include what
Speaker 1: I'm going through in my life. And so with that,
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, comedy. My son passed August
Speaker 1: third in the car accident for those who don't know,
Speaker 1: and then uh, I went on the road August twenty
Speaker 1: fifth to Atlanta. So I was like, uh, and I
Speaker 1: needed to come down, needed to keep working and making
Speaker 1: people laugh as part of mine, you know, therapy, and
Speaker 1: so I was like, uh, but I'm scared to do
Speaker 1: it because people saw me lose my son in real time,
Speaker 1: so it's not like you know, you just see me
Speaker 1: and like, man, he lost his son, but we didn't
Speaker 1: know him then, so we can kind of detach from
Speaker 1: that reality. So now I'm scared to bring that material
Speaker 1: out because the crowd is hurting too, so they mourning
Speaker 1: with me. So it was just like, man, so I
Speaker 1: finally did it Gonna Keep Your Distance, which is a
Speaker 1: virtual comedy show that keV on stage does, and it
Speaker 1: went and it went well. I told the audience, look, man,
Speaker 1: I need to talk about this, so y'all need to
Speaker 1: open up, and then they received it, said yeah about
Speaker 1: the cremation, like you know, how do I know? I
Speaker 1: want to know? I need to check this this dust right?
Speaker 1: And I thought it was funnier, but I was like,
Speaker 1: am I supposed to laugh? Yes, that's the weird part,
Speaker 1: But there's comedy everywhere. You just got to be able
Speaker 1: to find the sweet spot. I guess, to be able
Speaker 1: to make it relative and like funny Marlin Wayne said
Speaker 1: when he was up here, he was like when you're
Speaker 1: a comedian, even a funeral you can find some type
Speaker 1: of and he said that exact same thing. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, because I'm sitting there and I'm laughing,
Speaker 1: you know, I was able to laugh, like, you know,
Speaker 1: the day he passed, I'm laughing, you know, crying. You know,
Speaker 1: I still cry daily, but it's like I laugh at
Speaker 1: stuff every day too. So I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: never thought, you know, you never you never know how
Speaker 1: you're going to react yourself until it happens. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm because I'm from the country I'm from, so we
Speaker 1: laugh at everything. But I feel like sometimes with comedians
Speaker 1: it's like an obligation to be funny. But what if
Speaker 1: I don't feel like being funny right now? Right? Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's those moments where it was just like, I guess
Speaker 1: it was just in me and I found that out
Speaker 1: going through that. I was just like, man, I'm still
Speaker 1: cracking jokes. Yeah, I can't believe. It's like at the funeral,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a set, you know, I did fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: at the funeral, just like yeah, yeah, man, crying. And
Speaker 1: then I was be like, yeah, he was always late.
Speaker 1: He was late to the afterlife too, Like God was like, man, yo,
Speaker 1: I called you twenty minutes ago. What took you so long?
Speaker 1: I had to had to put lotion on. Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't get ashy here. You never know. You gotta
Speaker 1: look good. And I saw you said that the crowd
Speaker 1: gets tight, right, So when crowds get uncomfortable. As a comedian,
Speaker 1: you're used to I guess loosening them up, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so going up there like I'll cuss the crowd out.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of comedian I am. Like, if the
Speaker 1: comedians and if the if the crowd is too stiff,
Speaker 1: I'll cuss them out, like you know if because like
Speaker 1: there's certain rooms where they'd be like prove it to us,
Speaker 1: and they just sit there arms folded. And then I
Speaker 1: saw somebody bring her boyfriend to a comedy show and
Speaker 1: he was sitting there like yeah the whole time, right
Speaker 1: in the front too. You can't be in the front
Speaker 1: with that energy. Yeah you should be. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: be in the front, we need the energy, fake it.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna be arms folded McGhee sitting the back,
Speaker 1: sit your ass in the back with that in is
Speaker 1: you'd be like look out man, but with with with
Speaker 1: this type of topic. And it's not like I was
Speaker 1: forcing myself to find the material because some comedians do
Speaker 1: too much and they feel like I have to make
Speaker 1: everything funny out of everything. For me, it was just organic.
Speaker 1: It was just like, you know, I'd be looking at
Speaker 1: my son's earn. It's right in the living room. So
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, I'm like, how do I know that's
Speaker 1: him in there? They could have handed me any type
Speaker 1: of your son. That's true, though, So I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: can I take this on more to make sure this
Speaker 1: is my son in there? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The DNA, you know what's so crazy about that? When
Speaker 1: I heard you said, I think I would have to
Speaker 1: watch I know, as cruel as it sounds, only because
Speaker 1: maybe harvest and organs and stuff, right, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I want to make sure y'all, Oh
Speaker 1: you want to watch the PLA, Yeah, make sure everything
Speaker 1: is gone. Definitely throw me in the oven three seventy
Speaker 1: five roasted for some seasons now, I don't think, but
Speaker 1: that's y'all. Wanted to land like a week like slow
Speaker 1: roadsmen if they can you know what I mean, so
Speaker 1: y'all want to be cremated. I haven't thought about it, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't know who want to
Speaker 1: be Why do you want to be cremated? Because we're
Speaker 1: running out of real estate, that is true, So you
Speaker 1: don't want to It's over crowd it's like you, especially
Speaker 1: in New York. We drove through Queens. It's all cemetery.
Speaker 1: That's very thoughtful of you. So just because of overcrowding, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know, the old bodies, the people that died
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty nine, you gotta get out of there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody coming to visit? You know more, you died
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty nine, your family moved. But that is too.
Speaker 1: I guess it's more inexpensive too, like as far as
Speaker 1: having to buy apply to land and having to get
Speaker 1: a casket because caskets are expensive too. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: did and what you what you care what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Just throw me in there? Yeah, because you have to
Speaker 1: have on like something nice. Yeah, you know that's a
Speaker 1: wasted were good outfit? Wasted were good outfit, a good suit,
Speaker 1: you know, and then you're sitting there in one location
Speaker 1: like what if you don't like the location no more.
Speaker 1: Your family even moved to different states. I'm like, scattered
Speaker 1: me around, put me in a put me in the
Speaker 1: garden of a nice house, and just sprinkle me right there.
Speaker 1: He would look this out, sprinkle me the owner, come out.
Speaker 1: What you're doing out there? You just run off? Yeah
Speaker 1: about movies. But they like, don't bury me. I'm not dead,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, buried alive? Ye you were still alive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you did already did your autopsuit. You could have
Speaker 1: woke up then. But y'all been starting thinking about this
Speaker 1: man's coming. I know we were talking about how are
Speaker 1: you supposed to the funeral? Where he was in the club. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was standing on stage, and I'm like, yo, that's

Speaker 1: my hand, and you can pay your respects. You put
Speaker 1: that reverse down come back to his tone reverse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good funeral right there. That's how I was living,
Speaker 1: or on stage with a mic. Okay, whatever you was into,
Speaker 1: like for y'all, y'all be propped up in the radio.
Speaker 1: We got Charlotte Man in the corner. You know what

Speaker 1: Jerry Carmichael. Did you watch his pasion y. I loved it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I didn't. I didn't laugh a lot, but I
Speaker 1: loved it. And it was like a community gathering where
Speaker 1: he's interacting with the It felt like it felt like
Speaker 1: he wasn't forcing the jokes. He wasn't forcing the comedy.
Speaker 1: It was like you can laugh or you cannot. When
Speaker 1: he when he came out, I feel like the laughter
Speaker 1: reveed up after that. So there was some good, good
Speaker 1: things in there. But he felt very personally, feel like
Speaker 1: a conversation. And you know, there was a moment in
Speaker 1: there that hit me personally when he said his mom
Speaker 1: was silent. So that hit me personally because I feel
Speaker 1: like when I lost my son, my dad, and my
Speaker 1: oldest brother, they just fell back. I'm just like yo.
Speaker 1: And I told him, I was like, yo, y'all, don't
Speaker 1: have to give me space here like I need y'all around.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, we hear you, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: get your space anyway. You know why, man, that's so
Speaker 1: it's so difficult when you have a loved one and
Speaker 1: they lose somebody really close to them because you don't
Speaker 1: know how to show up for them. Yeah. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You let them know I'm here for
Speaker 1: you if you need me. Yeah, but I don't know
Speaker 1: how to show up for you. It's weird, man, that
Speaker 1: it's strange and that and that's and that's why I
Speaker 1: told him. I was like, you don't have to when
Speaker 1: people are grieving. I think we overthink it a lot
Speaker 1: and we'd be like, man, I gotta come in then,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta hit them on some hard hidden
Speaker 1: I gotta come in and say, you know, God puts
Speaker 1: things in place. You don't have to do all that.

Speaker 1: want to salute another R and B artist. Let's salute August.
Speaker 1: I've seen it two, okay, because I spoke to August
Speaker 1: yesterday and he wants the people to know that he's
Speaker 1: not writing any tellaw book about anything, and there's never
Speaker 1: a need to go that low to write a book
Speaker 1: detailing anything about that situation. And he doesn't even know
Speaker 1: where that rumor came from. It came from the Sun
Speaker 1: and then it was reported on multiple platforms. But yes,
Speaker 1: he did a whole post yesterday letting people know that, no,
Speaker 1: he does not have any type of tellallbook coming out.
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, he sent me a copy of
Speaker 1: a check that he got. He said, he's okay for

Speaker 1: four hundred and five thousand dollars the check four and
Speaker 1: yes music. Yeah, he said. He said he would never
Speaker 1: dishonor himself by taking low vibration on money to write
Speaker 1: a book. And he said he just got a half
Speaker 1: a million dollars check from Screams on his music that
Speaker 1: from streams on music that's like ten years old, so
Speaker 1: he's not hurting for nothing. And yes, and it was
Speaker 1: a surprise check check to make sure I have that right. No,
Speaker 1: it's not, it's it's actually just an accounting thing. But yes,

Speaker 1: It's gonna be crazy. You know, a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't know that the Wilderdelt toy was created by you. Yes,
Speaker 1: so that breakdown, you know, you creating the Wildelt Tour
Speaker 1: and all that. Well, I actually started because I was
Speaker 1: writing on the Nick Cannon Specials shoot and we were
Speaker 1: sitting there and he was like, yo, we wouldn't took
Speaker 1: a watch Cat Williams. And he's like, yo, I wish
Speaker 1: that I could sell out arenas like this. And I
Speaker 1: was like you, Nick, what do you mean you don't
Speaker 1: sell at arenas like that? And he's like, nah, I
Speaker 1: never have. It's one of my dreams. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, you have done a lot for me by
Speaker 1: putting me on the show and keeping me through all
Speaker 1: my antics and who on way too far, because you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I go way too far. This is what
Speaker 1: I had him built. And I was like, I do
Speaker 1: that for you. So I actually started it here in
Speaker 1: New York at the Amazuria, of all places, and I
Speaker 1: took I walked up to Nick. I was like, look, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you get, but here it's
Speaker 1: some money and just the security day and I'm a
Speaker 1: due and I paid the whole cast, put them together
Speaker 1: and we did Amazuri and me and my daughter actually
Speaker 1: get the flies out to that and pushed it and
Speaker 1: it was such a hard struggle and I never forget that.
Speaker 1: When I went back to Nick, he was like, I
Speaker 1: thought you was joking. I was like, no, man, to
Speaker 1: show us tomorrow. He was like, I got another show
Speaker 1: someone else. And I was like, look, whatever they pay
Speaker 1: and you, I will give it to you. Just show
Speaker 1: up for this and we're gonna start this whole thing.
Speaker 1: And we did an Amazouri did end up doing two shows,
Speaker 1: and then we did one in Long Island and then
Speaker 1: it turned into this phenomena. And I remember his reps
Speaker 1: telling me that these people. I was like, look, well,
Speaker 1: this is a real tour. And he was like these
Speaker 1: people don't matter. I was like, what do you mean
Speaker 1: they don't matter? He was like, this is not a
Speaker 1: real audience. And that very next day I went and
Speaker 1: booked over twenty arenas and we just started selling them
Speaker 1: out all across the country. Yeah. I maxed out on
Speaker 1: my credit cards, sold my card and just put all
Speaker 1: the money I had and down and I just did
Speaker 1: it and we just knocked it out. And to this day,
Speaker 1: I still hold number two in the country for that
Speaker 1: year in Posstar for having the most sold out venues
Speaker 1: across the country. Kelly Clarkson that year Kelly Clarkson, Yes,
Speaker 1: I did two. I killed him in de Luth. I

Speaker 1: two shows. I still hold a record in DC for
Speaker 1: doing two shows and one night and two separate arenas.
Speaker 1: Did seventeen thousand and five at Capital one and another
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand at Show Palace. Joe. If you listen, hey,
Speaker 1: you see all this money, geez. I wasn't about money.
Speaker 1: It was about the brand and actually bringing into people's homes.
Speaker 1: And I see how much people enjoy the show, mother
Speaker 1: and son and father and daughter. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is finally something that you could take your kids to
Speaker 1: and enjoy. And that's what I've been doing. What I'm saying,

Speaker 1: opened up to show a Little Kim just crazy. All right,
Speaker 1: Well it's Rip Michael's Charlemagne. You got a positive note.
Speaker 1: I do have a positive note, and the positive notee
Speaker 1: simply this man. If the words don't act that up,
Speaker 1: it's usually because the truth wasn't included in the equation.
